The Kusanagi Sword?
Shinsei stared at the longsword in Susanoo's hand, which was gleaming with a fierce white light.
From the perspective of the Mangekyō Sharingan, the longsword, formed from the compression of extreme Natural Energy, seemed to cut through the surrounding space with its sharp edges.
A legendary divine weapon? But in legends, shouldn't Susanoo's divine weapon be the Totsuka Blade?
Shinsei's expression turned serious; he had no intention of testing the power of this divine weapon with his own body.
"Did you know? Kukurihime-no-Kami said that the woman behind you is the root of the destruction of this world. I didn't really believe it at first."
An outsider could destroy Takamagahara, but your strength deserves our serious attention.
I'll ask you one last time: as fellow immortals, are you willing to betray your kind?
Takemikazuchi-no-Kami stopped in his tracks, his gaze fixed firmly on Shinsei. He extended his left hand and summoned the Amenonuhoko that had fallen some distance away.
With a flick of his right hand, a longsword composed entirely of lightning appeared in his palm.
Lightning bolts leaped, crackling and electrifying the surrounding air.
Futsunomitama? Another legendary artifact. Shinsei is envious. Regardless of the power of these artifacts, they are really cool.
Kaguya slowly floated down from mid-air and landed in front of Shinsei.
Her face was deathly pale, but she still looked at the two of them with unwavering determination, as if she were about to stand in front of them.
Shinsei sighed and reached out to pull Kaguya back. He didn't need a woman to shield him yet.
"You man-eating gods are a disgrace to the word 'immortal'!"
If immortals can only reproduce by eating people as sacrifices, then it's no pity if this race is destroyed.
So, I should be the one asking you this question: Are you sure you want to be my enemies? Are you ready to die?
Susanoo's face was extremely ugly. He stopped speaking and the huge Susanoo swung its right hand downwards.
The Kusanagi Sword moved.
The sword light shone from Susanoo's hand, like a white line falling from the sky. It made no sound, just swept lightly.
Shinsei didn't see the sword energy, only the white line slicing towards his waist. Fire erupted from his feet, and he was sent flying backward.
At the same time, he held two fingers together with his right hand. A black sword light rapidly grew larger and longer between his fingers.
Sage Art, Storm Release, Storm Sword!
The massive black longsword forcefully blocked the Kusanagi Sword that slashed down from mid-air.
A sharp, explosive sound rang out from where the two swords clashed. Shinsei's black longsword was cleaved in two by the Kusanagi Sword, but its momentum remained undiminished as it hurtled towards Shinsei again.
Bang!
A deafening crash. A white line swept across the spot where he had just stood, and the ground silently split in two, the cracks seemingly bottomless.
Is this the power of the divine Kusanagi Sword? It actually severed my own Storm Sword.
This is the first time the Storm Sword Ninjutsu has been broken since Shinsei created it. Its ability to cut through anything in the past has become ineffective against the Kusanagi Sword.
It's important to know that the Storm Sword Ninjutsu almost pushes the transformation of Chakra form to its limit, combined with the nature transformation of Storm Release, and the extremely high difficulty of this Ninjutsu.
In terms of rank, this Ninjutsu is even above S-rank. Shinsei believes that if we're talking about Ninjutsu alone, there's probably no other Ninjutsu that can cut through the Storm Sword so quickly.
Even if the Kusanagi Sword is entirely composed of Natural Energy, in terms of physical effects alone, it probably doesn't qualify to achieve these things.
It's likely that the Kusanagi Sword, like the abilities of these deities, possesses extremely unique characteristics endowed by Natural Energy.
This is no longer about Ninjutsu or science; it's about the most mysterious and profound metaphysics.
Just as Shinsei regained his footing, the line caught up.
The Kusanagi Sword grew at will, like a living light, constantly extending and changing direction, forcing Shinsei to retreat continuously.
Takemikazuchi-no-Kami moved simultaneously. With a wave of his left hand, the Amenonuhoko disappeared and reappeared three inches behind Shinsei.
Shinsei's Sharingan caught the flash of lightning, and he dodged to the side before it struck. The Amenonuhoko grazed his back and embedded itself in the ground.
The impact point was like a hundred tons of explosives buried there; it exploded with a deafening roar, sending dirt and gravel flying into the air.
Shinsei had just dodged the massive shockwave when Takemikazuchi-no-Kami was already upon him. He swung his right hand down, Futsunomitama exploded with countless bolts of lightning.
The lace threads were extremely fine, like the threads spun by a spider, weaving a transparent yet deadly web in the air.
Shinsei had no intention of testing the power of these nets woven from fine lightning threads with his own body. The abilities of such divine artifacts could not be simply deduced from Chakra or Natural Energy.
He formed a hand Hand Seals with his left hand, and his body suddenly disappeared from the huge network of lightning threads.
Flying Thunder God!
Takemikazuchi-no-Kami watched Shinsei suddenly disappear, his pupils involuntarily contracted.
He actually disappeared? How did this young immortal manage to do that? Perhaps it was due to his own abilities?
Just as he was about to continue searching for Shinsei, he suddenly felt the light and shadow behind him change.
Before he could Futsunomitama to strike back, a tremendous force emanated from his back.
A loud bang.
The immense force Takemikazuchi-no-Kami flying, crashing to the ground and carving deep furrows into the earth.
Cough cough. Takemikazuchi-no-Kami wiped away a mouthful of blood, got up from the ground, and used Natural Energy to repair the lightning armor on his vest.
If it weren't for this defense, he would probably have been killed by that young immortal Shinsei, with a single punch.
Shinsei withdrew his fist, looked at Takemikazuchi-no-Kami was somewhat stunned in the distance, and thought to himself, "What a pity."
Takemikazuchi-no-Kami's Lightning Armor is really good at defense, much stronger than his own Storm Release Armor.
Takemikazuchi-no-Kami is a formidable opponent. His speed rivals mine, and his Lightning Armor provides extremely strong defense.
Moreover, he also possesses two divine artifacts as weapons. Shinsei seems to see another version of himself. His only weakness is probably Takemikazuchi-no-Kami's neurotic reactions.
Looking at Shinsei's somewhat regretful gaze, Takemikazuchi-no-Kami became even more furious.
He questioned loudly.
"He can teleport? That's an impressive ability."
Is this your divine power?
Since you are also a god, why are you stopping us?
Don't you know that when the God Tree absorbs Natural Energy, even we gods will lose our immortality?
Shinsei shrugged and said nonchalantly.
"It seems you've mistaken me for a villain. Too bad, I'm not some so-called god."
Furthermore, I don't believe that gods like you who feed on humans have any right to exist.
Come to think of it, you guys are the truly heinous villains.
Shinsei wanted to say something more, but out of the corner of his eye, he saw a huge white sword light slashing towards him.
He hurriedly formed another Hand Seals, and his body vanished into thin air.
The next instant, Shinsei reappeared on the withered tree a hundred meters away.
"I see it!" Susanoo shouted, "There will be Kakkō runes where he appears!"
