I Said

His gaze was sinister.

Shuya replied instinctively, "What, you want to beg for mercy because you can't beat me?"

As soon as he spoke, Amaterasu fell silent.

His patience had reached its limit.

A cold glint flashed in his eyes, and with a flick of his right hand, a scream suddenly erupted from the Shrine atop the mountain.

Shuya saw dozens of people inside the Shrine turn into blood mist amidst screams, and be absorbed into Amaterasu's body.

Those must all be members of the royal family.

The Way of the Heavenly God.

"Another round of sacrifices?"

Shuya guessed correctly.

After offering sacrifices to her descendants, Amaterasu's condition was fully restored, and the Yata no Kagami (Yata Mirror) was also restored.

"Sinners, death is your only destiny."

Without Amaterasu flew straight into the sky, the Yata Mirror hanging high above her head, its unparalleled radiance emanating from its surface.

Like a sun.

Shuya felt the surrounding temperature rising rapidly, and a sense of terror rose in his heart...

"Come closer to me!"

Shuya knew something was wrong and immediately shouted.

Seeing everyone approaching, he immediately raised his hands to the sky, and his two Black Tortoise avatars flew out, transforming into a protective shield to block his own forces.

"Inject power, quickly!"

Taking advantage of Amaterasu's preparations for a powerful attack, he quickly urged her on.

The Monster realized something was wrong and quickly unleashed their full power, causing the protective shield to automatically attract this power and strengthen itself.

The Heavenly God and their retinue did the same.

The combined power of everyone is immense, but Shuya know if he can hold on.

He could tell at a glance that Amaterasu was about to use some extraordinary move, but rather a very powerful trump card.

"Sun, purify everything!"

Amaterasu murmured softly, her gaze cold and arrogant as she looked down upon everything on the ground.

The next second, Shuya's vision was completely filled with light.

A thick layer of land in Takamagahara was instantly swept away, and a large area was evaporated.

The surface layer of the Divine Mountain also melted, just like the accumulated snow.

At this moment, all the humans and demons active in the Spirit Realm stopped what they were doing, standing there dumbfounded, staring at the eerie thing that had been instantly purified, and the second sun in the sky...

The endless light and heat rose from Takamagahara, as if a blazing sun had appeared in the world.

"Amaterasu..."

At Munakata Grand Shrine, the Three Goddesses stared blankly in the direction of Takamagahara.

Shuya, felt it most deeply.

He could feel that the temperature outside the protective shield was extremely high, to the point that it could directly vaporize an ordinary person.

Naturally, he was under immense pressure, and the power of the protective shield rapidly decreased.

Amidst the indistinct Platinum light that obscured his surroundings, Shuya heard the urgent voice of the Heavenly God.

He said quickly, "I recognize it! Amaterasu has used this technique before. Having served as the Sun God for many years, this is a simulation of the sun's power, transformed using the Power of Faith! We absolutely cannot let the protective shield break, or we will all melt!"

"I know without you saying it!"

Shuya roared, "Did you all hear that?! If you don't want to die, channel your power into it! And don't even think about teleporting away! If you get killed by this move, you're really dead!"

"Oh!"

"Let's give it our all!"

"Dry!"

The Monster unleashed their power at full force.

The Yukinoshita Sisters and the Aoyama Sisters were the same, but Shizuka Hiratsuka dared not input her power, for fear of ruining things.

Director Abe and others were fighting desperately, but they didn't expect Amaterasu to unleash such a powerful attack, dragging them into it as well.

What followed was a very difficult time.

They were exhausted after unleashing their Strange Arts, and now they were drawing upon their own Power of Faith and Power of Awe to replenish them.

The Heavenly God and Shuya fully replenished their stored Power of Will.

Waves of heat from the light surged forth, and within this light, no one could even see each other.

I couldn't see anything, I couldn't hear anything, all I could see was white, and all I could hear was the hissing sound of the Tortoise Shell Barrier coming into contact with the white light.

One by one, the Heavenly God' subordinates and the Monster lay prostrate on the ground, completely drained of their bodies.

In the end, only Shuya, Heavenly God Shizuka Hiratsuka remained standing.

The Heavenly God, with their abundant reserves of Power of Will, could hold on, Shuya, possessing the Power of Will of the entire Monster race and the Power of Will stolen along the way, could also withstand it.

I finished watching the Violet Evergarden movie today, it was great.

Section 323, page 307: I said

Amidst this powerful attack, Shizuka Hiratsuka prepared herself; if she truly couldn't hold out, she would attempt to rush forward and attack Amaterasu.

Fortunately, it didn't come to that.

After an unknown amount of time, the power of the light gradually weakened.

When Shuya and the Heavenly God's Power of Will reserves were reduced by 80%.

The white light quickly dissipated, the Yata Mirror shattered, and was collected by Amaterasu.

Amaterasu looked at the humans, gods, and demons sprawled on the ground with a merciless gaze and said, "They're still not dead? Are rats really this tenacious?"

Shuya was exhausted, but he still had to throw in the trash talk. "Screw you, your broken mirror is cracked and you're still bragging, and I can tell you've completely exhausted your power, right?"

"Phew... Indeed, the Yata Mirror is shattered, my power is exhausted, and I've run out of offerings."

Amaterasu smiled calmly, pulled out the Yasakani no Magatama from her neck, and gently touched it.

The faint glow of the Yasakani no Magatama, which had been shining brightly, dimmed.

A powerful aura rose again around Amaterasu.

"The Yasakani no Magatama is used for substitution and restoring status. Although it's half broken, it can still be used for restoration."

The Kusanagi Sword pointed downwards, its blade aimed at Shuya.

Tell me now...

How do you want to die?

"Die of old age naturally."

After Shuya answered, he and the Heavenly God disappeared from the ground and attacked Amaterasu one after the other.

Amidst the explosive energy, three figures crisscrossed in the air.

Shuya, the Heavenly God and Amaterasu are fighting in the sky.

Shizuka Hiratsuka, remained on the ground, on guard.

Shuya and the Heavenly God were at a disadvantage, but not in an absolute one.

Amaterasu's full recovery does not mean that the Power of Will she used can return.

Everyone has basically depleted their reserves.

But His advantages are still very obvious. He has been a god for a long time, and his Primordial Divine Blood, divine blood, and Divine Power are all exceptionally abundant.

In contrast, Shuya and the Heavenly God were in much worse condition.

He used up most of his Power of Will, leaving only one-third of his Primordial Divine Blood.

While she could use skill to rescue ordinary enemies, Amaterasu, wielding the Kusanagi Sword, unleashed incredibly powerful attacks.

Therefore, since the start of the war, the Heavenly God and Shuya tacitly agreed to focus on stalling, hoping to hold out until their subordinates recover so they can kill the enemy with a righteous gang fight.

Therefore, Shizuka Hiratsuka is in good condition, cannot play; she must be prepared for Amaterasu attack at any time.

Shuya fought against Amaterasu with all his might, and the Heavenly God, knowing Shuya's abilities, wholeheartedly assisted him.

The human, the god, and Amaterasu fought fiercely.

Shuya was surprised to find that Amaterasu, and her advantage was growing.

Is that strange?

Amaterasu saw through his thoughts and said, "It's just a gradual return to the feeling you had before."

"It's been so long since I've fought like this."

His demeanor returned to the elegance he had displayed upon first meeting.

"Even someone as capable as you almost got beaten to death by my teacher."

Shuya retorted.

"..."

Amaterasu deeply regretted that she shouldn't have spoken to that despicable person.

"Prepare to die!"

Amaterasu drew her sword in the air, and countless Fire Sword materialized, chasing after Shuya and the Heavenly God.

Shuya and the Heavenly God quickly distanced themselves to dodge, without parrying.

They tried to minimize the expenditure of their energy.

These Fire Sword exploded upon hitting the ground, blasting some Monster back to the city.

These attacks are not as powerful as the previous ones; even if you get hit, you can still return to town.

Shuya.

He couldn't afford to lose sight of the bigger picture, so he simply sent a telepathic message to Shizuka Hiratsuka to gather the high-level experts together for focused protection. Once they recovered, they could launch a full-scale attack and take Amaterasu away.

Amaterasu unleashed Kusanagi Sword in her right hand, while simultaneously raising her left hand and spewing out streams of Fire Sword in pursuit of Shuya and Heavenly God.

Shuya didn't care how the Heavenly God dodged; he flew nimbly through the air, occasionally slashing at the pursuers behind him with his sword, maintaining a safe distance from Amaterasu.

He fought while using his remaining Power of Will to recover his strength.

The same goes for the Heavenly God.

More than ten minutes passed, and the exhausted experts were finally able to stand up. Shuya released the Power of Awe from the Monster race, allowing them to absorb it.

Otake-maru and some powerful old Monster already possess considerable fighting strength.

The gods of the Heavenly God pantheon gradually recovered.

The Aoyama Sisters also stood up and stood with their swords drawn.

Amaterasu, seeing this scene, said:

"I have to say... this is very disadvantageous for me."

Shuya casually replied, "Surrender and I'll spare your life."

Amaterasu suddenly stopped moving and remained suspended in the air.
