Summoning the Three Goddesses?

Tagorihime, who was furiously outputting Sage Chakra, stopped her hand when she heard this voice.

Turning her head to look, she saw Yeyu staring at her with a puzzled expression.

Tagorihime could not believe it. "You, weren't you swallowed by Garaga?"

Yeyu smiled. "He swallowed me?"

"How is that possible? He doesn't have the strength for that."

Tagorihime ceased the output of Sage Chakra, and the sand and stone on the ground, which had been churning as if alive, also came to a halt.

Garaga finally had a chance to catch his breath.

However, when he saw Yeyu standing in the air, he was stunned. "You, weren't you swallowed by me?"

He clearly remembered swallowing Yeyu.

How could he be unharmed?

Yeyu looked at Garaga. "I actually had high expectations for you just now, but now I don't really want you to be my summoning beast anymore. You're a bit weak."

Garaga was dumbfounded.

It was the first time someone had spoken to him so insolently.

"You brat, how dare you call me weak! Don't think that just because I don't usually go out, you can assume I'm weak."

"I am the strongest great snake in Ryūchi Cave."

Yeyu scratched his head. "But just now, you seemed to be beaten quite miserably by her."

"Honestly, watching from the side, even I felt the pain."

"Look, you're still bleeding."

Yeyu pointed at Garaga's serpentine body, which was indeed bleeding.

His body was so massive that it looked like a river of blood was flowing.

Garaga looked at his bleeding body, then turned his head to glare at Tagorihime with fury. "Tagorihime, this brat isn't dead, you should apologize to me."

Garaga was furious; Tagorihime hadn't even asked a question before coming over and nearly kicking him to death.

He had been beaten until his head was broken and blood was flowing, only for Yeyu to stand there completely unscathed.

He felt he had been treated incredibly unfairly.

But Tagorihime ignored him.

She turned to look at Yeyu. "How are you unharmed?"

"That guy's venom has petrifying properties."

"I clearly saw him swallow you."

Yeyu explained, "Don't forget, I know the Flying Thunder God technique."

Once Yeyu said this, Tagorihime understood.

She then turned to look at Garaga and his miserable state, feeling a bit awkward.

Silence descended, and the entire cave became terrifyingly quiet.

Ichikishimahime and Tagitsuhime looked at Tagorihime, speechless.

Garaga lay on the ground, licking his wounds.

The blood had stained the ground red.

"Apologize! If you don't apologize, I will ask White Snake Sage to preside over justice."

Seeing that Tagorihime remained silent, Garaga roared at her in the air.

Tagorihime thought for a moment and decided to apologize.

But before she could speak, Yeyu said to Garaga, "You want her to apologize when you were the one who lacked the skill?"

"I saw that you were the one provoking her the whole time."

Garaga looked at Yeyu, gritting his teeth. "You brat, this whole situation happened because of you, and you have the nerve to speak?"

"If it weren't for you, would I have been beaten like this by her?"

Yeyu smiled. "But you didn't die, did you?"

"Besides, you're a summoning beast; what's a little injury like this?"

"You'll recover in a while."

Yeyu's words nearly made Garaga die of anger.

"Fine, fine, fine! So neither of you is going to apologize, right?"

"Then I have no choice but to ask White Snake Sage to preside over justice."

There was no other way; Garaga could not defeat Tagorihime at all, so he could only have White Snake Sage punish her.

They had never fought before, and Garaga had always assumed the Three Goddesses were just vases, failing to see what was so impressive about them.

Merely living longer than them—what was so impressive about that?

Only today did it realize that Tagorihime, one of the Three Goddesses, had nearly killed it with ease.

How could the other two possibly be weak?

Previously, the White Snake Sage had been quite indulgent toward Garaga.

Because Garaga had been betrayed by humans, it relied on its own strength within Ryūchi Cave to bully the other great snakes.

The White Snake Sage would, at most, reprimand it a few times.

It did not trust humans, nor was it willing to accept human contracts, and the White Snake Sage never forced it.

Even so, it had not shown the slightest bit of respect for the White Snake Sage.

Perhaps it was this indulgence that gave Garaga the illusion that Ryūchi Cave could not function without it.

But now, the only person it could rely on was the White Snake Sage.

It truly could not defeat Tagorihime; if she had kept attacking, it would have died.

If the other two goddesses hadn't intervened just now, it would have already perished.

However, the White Snake Sage had also stated that the great snakes of Ryūchi Cave must not kill one another.

Yet just now, Tagorihime had nearly killed it.

Tagorihime frowned; she knew that if the White Snake Sage found out, she would certainly be punished, and Yeyu would be as well.

At this moment, Ichikishimahime and Tagitsuhime hurriedly stepped forward to speak, "Tagorihime, it's just a matter of apologizing; there is no need to take this matter to the White Snake Sage."

"After all, you were indeed the one who struck first."

The two were not speaking up for Garaga, but rather, they knew that if this reached the White Snake Sage, Tagorihime would surely be punished, likely confined for at least several decades.

She had, after all, nearly killed Garaga just moments ago.

Yeyu looked at Garaga, then at Tagorihime, and said, "I believe that with the White Snake Sage's abilities, she has long since known about what happened here. Since she hasn't spoken yet, she surely has no intention of punishing you."

After all, Tagorihime had acted to save him just now.

Even though he hadn't been in any danger at all.

But he could not fail to speak up for her.

Tagorihime frowned, "You don't understand; killing one another is forbidden in Ryūchi Cave."

"Furthermore, by causing such a commotion here, it will be very difficult for you to sign a contract with the great snakes of Ryūchi Cave."

Yeyu, however, was unconcerned, "What does that matter? I have already obtained a power greater than that of a summoning beast."

"Although it isn't what I originally wanted, learning senjutsu is far more worthwhile than a summoning beast."

Tagorihime looked at Yeyu, "Do you really think so?"

Yeyu nodded, "Yes. With senjutsu, it doesn't really matter whether I have a summoning beast or not."

"Besides, if this great snake is the strongest summoning beast in your Ryūchi Cave, I truly find it unimpressive."

"I summon them to help me fight, not to keep as pets."

"If it's this weak, I'd probably have to protect it once summoned. In that case, am I summoning a beast or a pet?"

Hearing Yeyu's words, Garaga hissed at him, "Brat, I'm going to eat you! How dare you call me a pet? Humans truly are nothing but trash."

Yeyu ignored it.

He continued speaking to Tagorihime, "Actually, I watched your fight just now, and I was thinking~"

"You aren't," Tagorihime interrupted Yeyu directly.

Yeyu frowned, "I haven't finished speaking yet."

"I know what you're going to say. I dislike you, so don't even think about summoning me."

"So don't get any ideas," Tagorihime said with a cold snort.

Yeyu then looked at Ichikishimahime and Tagitsuhime.

The two also quickly made their stance clear, "I don't like you either, so don't get any ideas about me."

"Same here."

Both shook their heads in unison.

Yeyu felt it was a pity, "Then what other summoning beasts in your Ryūchi Cave are worth summoning?"
