He, She, and Them (End of Volume Two) (Continued)

In the Spirit Realm, when the gods of the Heavenly God saw the strange phenomenon in Takamagahara, they were all struck dumb as if by lightning.

The Monster also began to worry about Shuya's safety.

In Takamagahara, before the Heavenly God entered the Age of Gods, his voice emanated from the pillar of light. "Inoue- kun, it's up to you. I believe in you... you can win!"

"Like Heavenly God..."

Shuya knew that He could resurrect Age of Gods, but anger still surged within him.

The power of the Heavenly God was completely integrated into his body, and his aura rose again.

Shuya stomped on the ground and charged towards Amaterasu.

Clang!

In the clash of steel, Amaterasu's Kusanagi Sword blocked Shuya's First Snow attack.

Amidst the strong winds, Shuya, pressing down on Amaterasu, charged from Divine Mountain to the edge of Takamagahara. The shockwave directly dispersed the surrounding clouds, revealing a clear blue sky.

"Hehe, you're really motivated."

Amaterasu sneered at Shuya's onslaught.

Next, He reversed His previous fierce attack and began to defend and evade.

He knew perfectly well that Xiu's current Shuya, fueled by anger and the recovery of his power, had increased his combat power and was likely to unleash some amazing moves.

So He changed His attack to stalling, waiting for him to lose his temper.

One should press on with full force, but the momentum wanes with each attempt, and eventually give up.

Just as He had predicted, after dozens of unsuccessful attacks, Shuya's attack speed began to decline.

Shuya finally understood why Amaterasu was able to unify Japan.

That's a cunning old fox.

If Li Shuhong hadn't frightened Him, Shuya wouldn't have dared to say he could have driven Him to this point.

Overwhelmed by negative emotions, Amaterasu's eyes flashed, Kusanagi Sword slashed towards his throat.

Fortunately, the cool air from the First Snow gave Shuya a timely shock, allowing him to regain his senses and dodge the sword strike.

"A fine knife. Looks like my collection will gain another divine weapon."

Amaterasu sighed.

"..."

Shuya shut up and stopped talking nonsense.

He calmed down and slowed down his pace in the fight against Amaterasu.

While he still had the strength, he focused all his efforts on figuring out how to win.

The power of the Heavenly God can hold out for a while longer, but if he doesn't come up with a solution by then... he's likely to lose.

One thing is clear: the power he is currently using is powerless against Him.

Since the opponent possesses the Kusanagi Sword, and it's impossible for my swordsmanship to suddenly improve and surpass theirs, the only hope lies in... the Five Elements.

The Five Elements Cycle that Shuya unleashed through the Godhead of the Okuninushi Ōkuninushi was an absolutely powerful force.

Unfortunately, the power exerted through external means is imperfect and difficult to control.

Just like the teleportation he was forced to interrupt just now.

Shuya thought about it for a long time but couldn't come up with anything.

In short, he could only first use the power of the Okuninushi's Godhead to construct the Five Elements cycle, hoping to comprehend some mystery.

But this is not a long-term solution.

The power of the Okuninushi's Godhead is dwindling, as a large amount of his Power of Will was drained when he blocked Amaterasu's ultimate attack.

Such a battle cannot last.

Shuya desperately tried to figure out if there was a way to master the earth-attribute Divine Power.

Until his power was almost exhausted, the only method he could think of was to merge with the Godhead of the Okuninushi.

Amaterasu looked at Shuya with a slight smile, secretly hoping he would make an irrational choice.

Ultimately, Shuya did not choose to merge.

The Godhead of the Okuninushi is a real problem.

Earth attribute, earth attribute...

I have absolutely no clue.

Shuya felt that it would be better to use his last bit of strength to escape than to perfect the cycle of the Five Elements.

"You can't escape."

Amaterasu laughed, "As long as I have the time, I will detonate the Curse on the woman you care about."

"If you run, she'll die. Hmm... speaking of which, she'll actually die anyway if you don't run, so you can still give it a try."

Amaterasu said casually.

"What's the meaning?"

Shuya felt that there was a hidden meaning in His words.

"It means that the Curse cannot be broken."

How will you know if you don't try?

"The experience of the older generation."

Amaterasu answered.

Shuya know if His words were just nonsense meant to dampen his fighting spirit.

But it must be said, He succeeded.

Japan gods are indeed either extremely strong or excessively weak.

Amaterasu, that old schemer, really has something.

But Shuya wouldn't give up so easily.

We have to fight to the very end. Maybe Amaterasu's current strength is just a bluff?

Shuya suppressed his extraneous emotions and focused on dealing with Amaterasu's attack.

He now mainly relies on swordsmanship to fight enemies; Divine Arts Demonic Arts are too energy-consuming.

And it's ineffective.

Wait... swordsmanship...

Shuya felt a faint flash of inspiration, but he didn't have time to grasp it during the battle.

More than an hour had passed, Shuya was exhausted.

His performance has declined significantly.

Amaterasu was the same originally, but as the sun rose higher and higher, she seemed to be blessed with new power.

As the Sun God, it's normal for Him to receive buffs under the sunlight.

Shuya felt that things were going to go wrong.

Amaterasu launched a fierce attack.

Under His relentless onslaught, Shuya and brought to the brink of exhaustion.

My vision blurred in the distance, and my limbs began to feel weak.

His Divine Power Demon Power plummeted, and even his Ghost God Body could barely hold on.

But this weakened state only intensified the inspiration within him, as if something was about to burst forth... but he just couldn't grasp that idea.

Amaterasu also landed on the ground at this time, and after a long battle, she was also in poor condition.

He Kusanagi Sword: "It's time to end this."

Several Fire Sword appeared and rushed towards Shuya to test him.

He is still very cautious, fearing something might go wrong.

Shuya wanted to slash it away, but his arm suddenly went weak, and the blade veered off course and missed.

He barely dodged three Fire Sword before being struck in the thigh by one. He could only kneel on one knee, using his sword as a support to prop himself up.

His vision blurred and he became dazed.

Is this the end of the road?

Shuya and grasped the divine Godhead of Okuninushi.

There's one last way: detonating the Godhead would allow him to escape using the remaining energy, but Amaterasu would definitely detonate the Curse immediately in revenge...

While Shuya hesitated, Amaterasu kept launching Fire Sword attacks, fearing that Shuya and intending to kill him from a distance.

Shuya shook his head with a wry smile. It seemed he had no choice but to leave. He would go back and see how to stabilize the Curse first, and then call his underlings over to gang up on Amaterasu.

As for the deadline for the arrival of Takamagahara, that was no longer a concern.

It's just that I've let down the final wave of power from the Heavenly God...

As he was thinking this, a sigh suddenly echoed in his mind, "Kid, you're no good."

"That sound... Holy crap!"

Shuya's eyes lit up, and he suddenly looked up.

"Um?!"

Amaterasu immediately drew her sword to guard, opened her eyes wide and looked over, and even stopped attacking for a moment.

"Teacher?"

Shuya replied in his mind.

"Pah! I don't have a disciple as weak as you! You even beat that piece of trash Amaterasu so badly! What a waste of your physique!"

Shuya thought angrily, "I'm only eleven years old! How long have I been cultivating? How high are your expectations of me?!"

"How dare you speak like that!"

"Stop babbling, old man, just use whatever tricks you have."

"Why would I have waited until now to make a move?" Li Shuhong, who was hiding somewhere, said, "But aren't you stupid, kid? Why are you looking for earth elemental damage? Can't you use your brain? Isn't the physical body the best foundation?"

Flesh?

Shuya finally grasped that spark of inspiration.

"I... I've got it!"

Shuya was jolted awake, finally understanding the elusive inspiration he had been searching for.

There's no need to dwell on the Divine Power of the earth element.

His physical body bears all his power; his qi, his Ghost God Body, his Divine Power, and his Demon Power are all products that blossom and bear fruit on the foundation of his physical body.

Therefore, the physical body is "the earth", is "earth attribute", and is the last attribute of the "Five Elements" that bears the power of the Four Spirits of Heaven and completes the final cycle!

The faint flashes of inspiration he had earlier occurred because his power was about to be exhausted, and his Ghost God Body was almost unable to maintain itself, nearly reverting back to a physical form, which is why he sensed it.

With Shuya canceled his Ghost God Body and returned to his physical form, but his attire remained unchanged.

"?"

Amaterasu frowned, unable to understand Shuya's actions, and could only intensify her attack once more.

The Fire Sword swarmed towards him, Shuya kept his eyes fixed ahead, and a mysterious fusion began to take place within his body.

The compressed power of the Godhead of the Four Spirits of Heaven instantly permeated into the body.

Within the physical body, flames ignite in the heart, water glistens in the kidneys, the liver takes on an Aoki hue, and the lungs acquire a metallic sheen.

Finally, the Qi throughout the body transforms into the Earth element and returns to the spleen.
