He couldn't help but hum the tune of "Fireworks."

Don't let their age fool you; these cannons are still incredibly powerful.

First, they fired special barrier-breaking shells, followed by shells with high explosive power and high penetration, which took down the barrier of the Divine Mountain in one go, resulting in multiple points of damage.

The Amaterasu and Mikami Shrine at the very top of Divine Mountain were given special attention, and were transformed into dazzling fireworks.

Shuya was astonished by the cannon's power, unaware of a crucial reason: the Futsunushi had lowered its external defenses and strengthened its internal suppression in order to allow them to enter the Divine Mountain...

Under the suppressive fire of the artillery, some of the gods who dared to peek out were immediately driven back, and the weaker ones were turned to ashes.

This power...

Shuya envious, but unfortunately dared not use it recklessly.

The Earth Federation hasn't said anything about these weapons, but it's obvious that using them occasionally is fine, but if they're used recklessly, they might get invited for tea at any time.

Shuya privately speculated that the truth behind these weapons might be that they were used to balance the power between Monster and gods...

The artillery barrage finally stopped after a while; they needed to rest and cool down.

As the artillery fire subsided, a burst of flame shot into the sky, and Amaterasu roared, "Beast!"

"Attack---!"

Shuya shouted decisively, and everyone activated their long-prepared Strange Arts.

First, the two Vermilion Bird unleashed fiery laser cannons, followed by the Azure Dragon's lightning cannons, the White Tiger's golden cannons, and the Heavenly God's thunder and fire bombardment, among other things.

These attacks splattered Amaterasu's face, blasting her back to Divine Mountain.

With his keen eyesight, Shuya even saw that the tattered clothes of the Futsunushi were completely ignored, and his ashes were scattered.

On the Divine Mountain, only Amaterasu's firelight offered resistance.

After Shuya and Heavenly God launched their attack, everyone else followed suit.

Sixty percent of the Shrine on Divine Mountain were destroyed in the explosion, but the flames at the summit have not diminished.

Finally, Shuya's group's attacks began to weaken.

Amaterasu was finally able to launch a counterattack.

His robes shone brightly, and three artifacts materialized from the void.

They are a magatama, a mirror, and a sword.

The legendary Three Sacred Treasures.

The mirror hung behind Amaterasu's head, absorbing all the Strange Arts that attacked him. A tremendous power gathered in the mirror, and then there were faint signs of it being reflected back out.

The magatama hanging around His neck was continuously emitting a warm, soft light, restoring Amaterasu's energy.

Amaterasu activated the power of the mirror, and the Yata Mirror) shone with dazzling light.

At the same time, He roared again, "Sinners, all of you!"

"Fire!"

Before he could finish speaking, he was blasted back by a cannonball and crashed hard into the rocks.

At Shuya's command, the cooled-down artillery array launched another attack.

Amaterasu seeing this, her face turning red with suppressed rage.

... The Yata Mirror can only absorb Strange Arts, not cannonballs!

He angrily transformed the power absorbed by the Yata Mirror into a protective shield.

The entire team has entered a period of energy preparation.

Shuya touched his head in confusion. Just Amaterasu... seemed to be speaking???

He vaguely heard Amaterasu calling out something, but then again, he couldn't quite place it.

The sound of the cannon fire was too loud; it was impossible to hear anything.

In short, Shuya attacked in rhythm.

After the first round of bombardment and Strange Arts attacks, the Divine Mountain were basically Shrine destroyed. The rest were no longer a concern; any daring to come down could be dealt with by melee Monster.

Therefore, this round of shelling was entirely aimed at Amaterasu.

Amidst the bombardment, Shuya faintly heard a crisp sound, followed by what seemed like an angry roar.

"???"

Shuya scratched his head in confusion.

Amaterasu looked at the Yata Mirror with heartache; it had actually cracked, cracked, and was gone...

Having barely survived the bombardment, the Yata Mirror now bears three more cracks, but it's not over yet. Another attack using Strange Arts strikes, followed by another round of bombardment, and then another round of Strange Arts attacks...

Finally, another round of shelling came.

And... well, there really aren't any more Strange Arts attacks.

Yata Mirror Kagami, Amaterasu reduced to shattered pieces.

In the end, He survived thanks to the protective power of the Yasakani no Magatama.

However, the Yasakani no Magatama is not specifically designed for protection, so it also cracked a little...

Only the Kusanagi Sword remained intact.

"Sinners! I will kill you all!"

Amaterasu's eyes were filled with madness as she flew up from the dilapidated Divine Mountain and swooped down towards the ground.

The sword light of the Kusanagi Sword was crimson, and Amaterasu was also surrounded by flames that seemed to melt everything.

"Snort."

Shuya remained unmoved, drew his sword, and unleashed a streak of icy blue light.

Two figures, one in red and one in blue, collided in mid-air and exploded with a loud bang.

The explosion did not affect Shuya and Amaterasu. The two beams of light collided and separated in the air, blurring the glint of blades and the shadows of swords.

In this fast-paced battle, Shuya was simply relying on his fighting instincts to make moves; to be honest, his mind couldn't keep up with his body at all.

Amaterasu possessed extremely powerful combat skills.

Moreover, His attacks are extremely violent.

"Don't be so arrogant! You're just a mere Natural Martial Bone!"

Amaterasu's voice boomed. "Did you feel it? The Natural Martial Bone soul swallowed by the Kusanagi Sword! You will be next!"

Shuya frowned slightly. Now that He mentioned it, he did indeed sense a familiar aura emanating from Amaterasu's divine sword...

The Kusanagi Sword has this ability?

I heard from the Heavenly God before that the royal family constantly hunts people with special physical attributes such as Natural Martial Bone, is it for this reason?

Indeed, after exchanging dozens of blows with Amaterasu, Shuya hasn't been able to figure out Amaterasu fighting style.

The opponent was also quickly adapting to Shuya's moves, and the score was tied.

The battle between Shuya and Amaterasu exploded in the air, creating bursts of sparks and leaving high-speed afterimages filling the sky.

Although Amaterasu is strong, Shuya doesn't seem to be losing.

Amaterasu harbored resentment. If the Yata Mirror hadn't been damaged, it wouldn't have been able to absorb and reflect the opponent's power during an attack, making it an attack that would have been impossible to defend against.

With the sharpness of the Kusanagi Sword and its ability to absorb souls to strengthen and optimize techniques, combined with the protection, absorption, and counterattack capabilities of the Yata Mirror, along with the Yasakani no Magatama and her own Godhead power, this is Amaterasu's most effective combat combination.

However, the destruction of the Yata Mirror) created a major flaw in this combination.

Furthermore, Amaterasu, as a figure of Amaterasu, could exert a fundamental suppression over people raised in mainland Japan, but since Shuya was the leader of the rebel army, this ability was completely ineffective.

Shuya could see that Amaterasu was very angry, but she was able to suppress it and not lose her mind. Instead, she used this anger to increase her power.

So he started trash-talking. "What's wrong with you? Do you think you're so great, you idiot? I'm not targeting you personally, but you're trash!"

"What are you doing here, Takamagahara? Aren't you just afraid of my teacher? Now it's clear that I've driven you to this point without even having to lift a finger."

"Even after all this, you're still putting on that fiery monkey face? Who the hell are you trying to fool?!"

"Dude, have you got any shame?"

Shuya's taunt was very effective, even overly so.

Amaterasu remained silent, a ruthless and taciturn god, unleashing a full-force attack that Shuya found increasingly difficult to counter.

But the increasingly brutal attacks also created openings, leaving Shuya some wounds on Him.

However, in the midst of the fierce battle, Amaterasu unleashed a new power, becoming even faster and surpassing Shuya's speed.

Shuya was suddenly in grave danger.

We underestimated Him...

Shuya thought to himself.

While defending himself, he threatened, "You dare kill me? If I die, my teacher will have a reason to kill you in revenge. Aren't you afraid?"

Amaterasu hearing this, Amaterasu paused her movements.

But He hesitated for only a few seconds before his expression hardened and his killing intent hardened.

He demonstrated his determination to kill through his actions.

Shuya sighed Amaterasu, realizing that a goddess as resolute as Amaterasu was truly difficult to fool.

Seeing that he was in trouble, the Heavenly God joined the battle to help him, and together with Shuya, they fought against Amaterasu.

The Monster on the ground collectively unleashed their Demonic Arts Curse upon the Amaterasu; though largely ineffective, it was better than nothing.

The melee Monster had no chance to attack; they dared not get close.

Only Shizuka Hiratsuka was searching for an opportunity to strike.

But Amaterasu knew who she was and was watching her actions.

Seeing that Amaterasu Shuya so wary, Xiu sent her a telepathic message, telling her to do something else.

After Shizuka Hiratsuka grinned mischievously and quickly ran into the Divine Mountain.

Steal the house!

Amaterasu.

"Shameless!"

He couldn't help but speak, and tried to turn back, but was instead entangled by Shuya and the Heavenly God.

He could only watch helplessly as Shizuka Hiratsuka sneaked into various Shrine, diligently breaking into the restored Main Hall and continuously sealing away her Godhead.

All the gods of the Divine Mountain are in the Age of Gods; even the appearance of Heavenly Soldiers and Heroic Spirits cannot stop her.

Shizuka Hiratsuka used the Heavenly Demonic Qi to seal Him all the way, and soon reached the Main Hall the Shrine of Futsunushi, successfully sealing Him.

Amaterasu angrily tried to storm back, but Shuya wouldn't let her go.

"Get out of here!"

You are shameless!

"Stop!"

As his subordinates were continuously sealed away, Amaterasu sensed that the prevailing fortunes of the Japan supernatural world were tilting towards Shuya's side, and his power was gradually being suppressed and shackled...

After sealing the Godhead of the Futsunushi, Shizuka Hiratsuka threw Godhead down the mountain, where it was naturally collected by Monster.

Her gaze fell upon the Shrine atop the mountain, eager to try it out.

"Roll!"

Amaterasu recklessly unleashed her full power, enduring several attacks before successfully charging back and crashing into Shizuka Hiratsuka.

But she was very quick-witted; sensing the danger, she slipped down the mountain.

Amaterasu breath, her gaze fierce as she scrutinized Shuya and the Heavenly God.

His sword-wielding hand was dripping with divine blood; rushing back would come at a price.

"Very good, you are all very good!"
