The attackers were speechless.

"Impossible!"

What is that?

"Who is it?!"

Amidst the chaotic sounds, Ichikishima-hime appeared on the island, gazing at Shuya and the Black Tortoise beneath his feet from afar.

"Black Tortoise?"

He recognized Black Tortoise, but when He saw Shuya, He only felt a vague sense of familiarity.

He originally knew what the Alliance Leader the Monster alliance looked like, but now he couldn't remember.

"The God of Black Tortoise...? From the Great Hua? No, the religion isn't very popular there..."

Ichikishima-hime knew that the Great Hua didn't really integrate with the gods; the Daoists only used the gods to extract power.

Therefore, the phrase "the way of gods does not flourish" does not mean that people do not worship gods.

Ichikishima-hime waved her hand, and a giant wave surged from the sea, crashing towards Black Tortoise.

Then, He saw the person on Black Tortoise glance at Him, and the giant wave automatically parted in front of Him.

Ichikishima-hime exclaimed in astonishment, "My control over the ocean... has been taken away?!"

"Hmm? Is that surprising?"

Shuya noticed the goddess's expression and was surprised by it.

The worship of Black Tortoise) is far stronger than that of the Three Munakata Goddesses, isn't it?

Is it surprising that His authority over the sea is stronger than His?

Sigh, I have mixed feelings.

Section 302, page 286: Fishing

Shuya shook his head, and the Black Tortoise beneath his feet splashed the water, rushing forward in a straight line.

Ships and aquatic creatures were all smashed to pieces.

As it approached the island ahead, Black Tortoise let out a long, mournful cry, and its body suddenly rose up, supported by the sea.

Black Tortoise arrived riding on a giant wave, and Shuya stood on the tortoise shell, looking directly at the floating Ichikishima-hime.

Looking at the giant wave, which was several times higher than the waves she had just created, Ichikishima-hime felt waves of pressure.

That's amazing!

Ichikishima-hime gritted her teeth, gathered the Power of Faith, and used all her strength to summon the seawater.

The waves rose up in front of him and then crashed back towards Shuya.

He didn't waste any words; knowing the newcomer meant no harm, he attacked with all his might.

But the next moment, He was dumbfounded.

Because He actually saw a giant black claw suddenly emerge from Shuya's body!

A demonic aura carrying the power of Black Tortoise soared into the sky, and with a single slap, the giant claw shattered the waves it had stirred up into sprays of water!

"Two, two Black Tortoise?!"

The moment the idea crossed Ichikishima-hime, she was overwhelmed by the flood and left bewildered.

Boom!

The giant wave submerged the island, and a drop of black kidney water, along with the surrounding seawater, crashed into the Hetsu-miya Shrine. The boundless gravity crushed it to pieces!

The destruction of the island and the Main Hall was immediately felt by the Ichikishima-hime.

Not only He sensed it, but the two distant islands also vaguely felt it.

Shuya didn't give chase; he still wanted to fish.

Thinking that Shu Shuya recovering, Ichikishima-hime quickly used her Divine Power to lead the priests and subordinates away.

He crashed out of the water in a disheveled state and flew towards Chikuzen Oshima, where the second Shrine, Nakatsu Shrine, was located.

The guardian deity of Nakatsu -Nakatsu Shrine is Tagitsu-hime, who is His elder sister.

Ichikishima-hime rushed into Nakatsu Shrine and quickly woke up Tagitsu-hime.

When Tagitsu-hime woke up, she was still a little confused. "What happened?"

Ichikishima-hime's expression turned grave. "The enemy... a powerful god is attacking!"

"?"

The Tagitsu-hime the sky was completely bewildered, and was forcibly dragged up to the sky by the Ichikishima-hime.

Looking into the distance, He saw an invincible behemoth standing on the island ahead, with the Hetsu Shrine washed away and all the buildings destroyed.

"The God of Black Tortoise?"

Tagitsu-hime said, but this doubt did not prevent her from launching an attack.

With the combined power of the Tagitsu-hime and the Ichikishima-hime, a large number of even more powerful fish appeared in the sea and swam towards Black Tortoise to launch an attack.

The ship that had just been overturned reappeared, and Heavenly Soldiers appeared on it.

Black Tortoise also went into the water again and swam towards Chikuzen Oshima.

Shuya stood there bored, thinking, "These Three Munakata Goddesses are a bit weak, but they are pretty."

The Three Munakata Goddesses were not fair-skinned; their skin was a healthy, tanned color, and they had a wild look, not the quiet type.

It has a unique charm, though.

Shuya noticed that the two goddesses didn't go to the next island, nor did they seem to be asking for help.

... That won't do.

He hesitated for a moment, then released the Monster.

A large group of Monster appeared in the sea.

As soon as they appeared, led by Yamatano Aoyama and Yamata no Orochi, they swam towards the large fish and ships ahead and began their battle.

"Monster?"

"It's Monster?"

The Ichikishima-hime and the Tagitsu-hime cried out.

The battle between the Monster and the fish was a foregone conclusion.

The fish were utterly defeated, dying almost instantly upon contact.

Then the Monster rushed onto the ship and fought against the Heroic Spirits Heavenly Soldiers, creating quite a spectacle.

The two goddesses did not send any warriors converted from believers as reinforcements, but simply had them guard the Nakatsu Shrine.

These relatives are stronger than Heavenly Soldiers and Heroic Spirits, but they cannot be resurrected after death.

If we're going to fight, we should send out Heavenly Soldiers first.

The goddesses watched helplessly as Black Tortoise swam leisurely, while the Monster slaughtered the Heavenly Soldiers like pigs and dogs.

One ship after another was sunk.

These Monster benefited greatly from the battle at Inari Shrine, their strength increasing several times over, making this battle a complete rout.

Ichikishima-hime exclaimed incredulously, "Sister, these Monsters are too strong!"

Tagitsu-hime frowned and said, "These Monster... Hmm, right, that person on the Black Tortoise just now unleashed such a strong demonic aura, could he be an old Monster from the Monster Alliance?"

"The old Monster? The Monster Alliance Leader has retaliated?"

It's not surprising that Ichikishima-hime knew that Amaterasu had sent a deity to assassinate her.

Following this line of thought, Tagitsu-hime suddenly understood.

He suddenly realized, "I see, I understand! The Alliance Leader the Monster alliance must be about to officially start a war with Amaterasu Omikami, so he sent some subordinates to sweep through the other Divine Domain first."

Following this line of thought, Ichikishima-hime said, "Oh? So he plans to eliminate the surrounding divine forces first, preventing us from sending reinforcements later?"

I think that's it.

Looking at Black Tortoise and the people on top of him, the Tagitsu-hime looked at the Monster and still couldn't figure out which Monster was this.

Is he some kind of reclusive master?

Ichikishima-hime: "So, what do we do now...?"

"Go, go and call my older sister over."

"Are we really going to call for help? Since we know the Monster Alliance Leader is going to attack Amaterasu, why don't we abandon this place for now and return to Usa Shrine to discuss it with the other gods?"

Ichikishima-hime offered another suggestion.

But Tagitsu-hime shook her head, pointing to Martial Way, "Look, that Black Tortoise over there should be an important fighting force on the Monster side. I heard that the Monster Alliance Leader is already extremely powerful, and after taking command of all the Monster in Japan, his power becomes very strong."

"It's rare that he's so arrogant and has scattered his forces. Why not take this opportunity to call my eldest sister over, and together we can keep him here and cut off one of the Monster's arms?"

"That... makes sense."

Ichikishima-hime thought this analysis was good.

Looking at the motionless Black Tortoise, He thought, "It seems that the attack just now required some energy storage?"

Was he not as strong as I imagined?

Tagitsu-hime whispered, "And... do you really want to go back to Usa Shrine?"

"... In no mood."

Ichikishima-hime spoke with dissatisfaction.

Shuya thought the same thing: the Princess Deity (Three Munakata Goddesses) enshrined at Usa Shrine was indeed forced into the power struggle within the imperial family.

But they had no choice but to accept the identity of the Princess Deity, but they generally didn't like to go there, and when they encountered problems, they didn't want to go to Usa Shrine, but hoped to solve them on their own.

The premise is that they do not feel their lives are threatened.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have hesitated and would have fled to Usa Shrine immediately.

This is the reason why Shuya released water.

If he acts too aggressively and lets the Three Munakata Goddesses know that he has no chance of winning, they will definitely run away.

Too strong is no good, too weak is no good either, otherwise they wouldn't appear together as the Three Goddesses.

Shuya broke through the Hetsu Shrine and slowly pressed towards the Nakatsu Shrine, creating the illusion that he had some strength, but not enough to defeat them immediately.

The Three Munakata Goddesses also cooperated. They did not want to rely on Usa Shrine, and their fate was hidden by Shuya, so they did not feel the danger and thought they had a chance of winning.

I didn't expect to be caught in a trap.

Chapter 303, Section 287: The Azure Dragon Emerges from the Sea

Seeing that the Monster and Heavenly Soldiers were still entangled, and that Black Tortoise had stopped in the water, the Ichikishima-hime and Tagitsu-hime took this opportunity to fly with their subordinates to the last island.

Okinoshima.

They landed at Okitsu Shrine Shrine on the island, waking the last enshrined deity of Munakata Grand Shrine.

Tagori-hime.

When the last goddess awakens Three Munakata Goddesses gather together, the combined power of the three Divine Power greatly increases their control over the sea.

Based on the power that Shuya has shown so far, he is not strong enough to fight against them.

After the Tagori-hime woke up, the two goddesses quickly explained the situation to her.
