After successfully entering the Royal City, Natsume was indeed invigorated.
If he could rescue Kuramitsuha alive, then escape the [Shiki Origin Realm] and slowly enjoy a blissful sex life in the future—
That was far better than perishing together with Bee and the Otsutsuki Clan.
As for facing [King Zhenruo] next—
Facing that renowned [First King Below God]—
He was naturally wary, but not to the point of fear.
They were both peak demigods.
Who was afraid of whom?
Besides, King Zhenruo still had part of his attention tied up by the [Progenitor God Body], so he surely could not unleash his full strength.
Natsume still had a chance of winning.
But—
Thinking back on it now—
His safe entry into the Royal City seemed to involve far too many coincidences...
Sometimes—
When there were too many coincidences, that in itself was no coincidence.
His luck was decent enough.
But it clearly was not so good that the goddess of fortune would throw herself at him night after night.
Still—
He had been very cautious along the way and had already used [Future Sight] several times to peer into the future.
Yet he had not discovered anything unusual.
It's probably nothing.
I'm likely just overthinking it.
The [Otsutsuki Progenitor God] had yet to fully awaken, and [King Zhenruo] had yet to truly ascend to godhood.

So he should stop overthinking.
Rescuing Kuramitsuha as quickly as possible was what truly mattered.
However—
Just then—
Natsume suddenly noticed that the [Karma-Type Barrier] enveloping the entire
