In this battle, Natsume had once again gone in with his true body.
Nisshiki's clone remained stationed at the Ninth Court, providing him with an "alibi."
Besides.
With Jashin and the others doing the work for him, he had no need to step in personally.
He only needed to activate his authority and lock down the entire surrounding space.
That was enough to prevent Otsutsuki Hishiki from escaping...
The rest.
Jashin and the others would handle it.
Thus, Hishiki had not recognized Natsume either.
He merely took Natsume for a demigod subordinate hidden away by Jashin.
The nine Vassal Gods all belonged to different races.
So having one more human demigod was nothing strange.
What shocked Hishiki even more was the former Seventh Seat Elder, Otsutsuki Qianshiki.
He had thought Qianshiki had already been devoured and killed...
Who would have thought he was still alive?
And could even become Jashin's combat puppet?
That was the real issue!
Unfortunately.
Before Hishiki could carefully assess Otsutsuki Qianshiki's condition.
The attacks of Jashin, Otsutsuki Qianshiki, and the God of Greed came crashing down.
Like a blow to the head, they smashed viciously into Hishiki's Shikigami Form.
With the space already sealed off, he had no way to flee.
He could only grit his teeth and endure it.
Praying that his reinforcements would arrive sooner...
"Yes, just like that."
"Don't give him any time to catch his breath. Increase the frequency of your attacks!"
"Keep clearing out the surrounding matter at all times."
"Fight in an environment as close to absolute vacuum as possible. It can greatly suppress the power of his Thermal Law."
"Ignore those two projections on the left and right. They're fake bodies he created with his authority."
"The one in the middle is the real one."
