Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Page 1502

Tsukuyomi is like being trapped in a vortex of time spanning many years, vaguely glimpsing a flowing rainbow, dreamlike and ethereal, weaving countless colors into a fantastical pattern...

After an unknown amount of time, Tsukuyomi came to her senses and found that all the divine soldiers were looking at her with surprised and uncertain eyes.

"How could Lord Tsukuyomi exude the aura of an evil god?"

"What exactly is going on?!"

"Could he also be... an evil god?"

Tsukuyomi stiffly touched her increasingly cracked face, then smiled. This was for the best; now it seemed she no longer needed to hide it…

448. Forbidden Technique Backlash / Tsukuyomi, God of Lies / Became a Supporting Character

"Tsukuyomi is an incarnation of Amaterasu!"

Seeing that Tsukuyomi exuded the aura of an evil god, Susanoo spoke the truth without hesitation.

Amaterasu-sama's clone? !

A portion of the Divine Army was in uproar.

Yes, the gods who survived the ancient war knew very well that those evil gods who caused trouble were Amaterasu's incarnations!

These clones are all manifestations of Amaterasu's own sins.

Similarly, this matter was a taboo subject for Takamagahara.

Even so, there are still quite a few people in the know.

Even human records contain accounts of this!

Since the evil gods, in order to corrupt Amaterasu, revealed their true nature without any concealment and spread it widely, it is not surprising that some humans recorded it.

And that is why all the humans on the field, that is, the most outstanding Onmyoji in Kyoto, knew the meaning behind Susanoo's words.

"Heh, as expected, it's an evil god."

Minamoto no Yorimitsu smiled as he drew his sword, ready to fight at any moment.

Onikiri, standing next to him, silently made the same gesture.

"He is the god of lies, with the ability to turn falsehood into truth!" Kousaka Kyosuke said slowly, the demonic sword hovering beside his body as if protecting him.

He was not in good condition at this time; to put it simply, it was a case of "killing a thousand enemies while losing five hundred of his own!"

However, he knew very well that he could not let Tsukuyomi continue to stay in the position of acting God-King, otherwise the Takamagahara army would cause them a lot of trouble.

Most importantly, Kyosuke Kosaka could not tolerate this guy's actions of joining forces with Orochi to try and capture Kagura.

Therefore, Kyosuke Kousaka preferred to use the illusion technique he had just figured out to deal with Tsukuyomi with all his might, so that Tsukuyomi would reveal a slight flaw, that is, expose the identity of the evil god.

Now, things are looking up, and they've managed to salvage a huge disadvantage, and even have some advantages.

"The rest depends on everyone. The illusion I just cast had even more side effects than all the forbidden spells I've used before. I'm starting to lose focus."

"An evil god?" Tsukuyomi, regaining her senses, considered not concealing her identity, but given that her power was still unstable, she planned to buy some time before killing the knowledgeable divine soldiers and their star messengers. "Just some boring spells. How pathetic. You humans passed down these secret techniques from Takamagahara, and now you're using them to fight against us gods."

Minamoto no Hiromasa said angrily, "Stop making excuses! You were cooperating with Orochi before, weren't you? Otherwise, why did your attack just happen to block Kyosuke's protection of Kagura?"

It hadn't been long since Kagura was attacked, and he still remembered it vividly!

"I was just doing a rescue operation, I didn't expect you to misunderstand me like this. You probably know about what happened in Takamagahara during the last trial ceremony through the illusion of Yamata no Orochi, so why are you still prejudiced against us..."

Tsukuyomi sighed, secretly trying to stabilize her physical condition.

He hadn't expected that the illusion technique used by Kousaka Kyosuke would include the lightning power of Susanoo. He was caught off guard and his divine status began to waver, which is why he couldn't use many of his techniques for a short period of time.

Otherwise, why would they bother talking nonsense?

"Lord Tsukuyomi... do you still intend to continue like this?" Ara asked with a complicated expression.

He seemed to have guessed Tsukuyomi's plans, and he was quite saddened.

He was raised by Tsukuyomi after all, and even though he knew that Tsukuyomi had tried to kill him several times, he still had special feelings for her.

“Those who rebel against the god Susanoo and those of the Ara-kudani rank will be granted the title of divine general.”

Tsukuyomi raised her hand and summoned clouds, obscuring the stars and greatly reducing the power that Ara could use.

Susanoo stepped forward and looked at his former subordinates: "Now that things have come to this, do you still intend to continue obeying the commands of this evil god?"

He hadn't revealed Tsukuyomi's identity before because not many people would believe him anyway. But that wasn't the case now. He understood that this was the best opportunity to free Takamagahara from Tsukuyomi's control!

"Mr. Susano'o!!"

Many of the gods who trusted Susanoo more finally made up their minds and moved behind Susanoo.

Having regained some of her power, Tsukuyomi narrowed her eyes as she looked at them: "With so many gods harboring disloyal thoughts, Takamagahara is doomed if this continues."

Finding that the situation was not as serious as she had imagined, Tsukuyomi abandoned the idea of ​​directly annihilating them.

As the god who understands people's hearts best and controls lies, he knows very well how to keep his subordinates, who are unsure whether he is an evil god, working for him.

Uh.

Kyosuke Kosaka silently observed the delicate situation on the field, already feeling quite exhausted.

"Ara wants to use his persuasive skills to talk his way out of Tsukuyomi, the teacher who raised him since childhood. Susanoo wants to persuade the other gods not to continue following Tsukuyomi and to avoid war between the two sides. Seimei and Minamoto no Yorimitsu, being humans, are not suitable to interfere for the time being..."

The situation, which had been somewhat advantageous, gradually returned to its original state.

Kyosuke Kousaka was quite helpless about this. He wanted to take action, but his condition was not good, and taking action might not be effective. Some of Tsukuyomi's loyal subordinates were protecting him fiercely, so Kyosuke Kousaka didn't have a good opportunity to make a move.

"As the acting God-King, I have no choice but to treat you coldly," Tsukuyomi said, raising her hand in a gesture of respect.

The divine army that was still willing to obey Tsukuyomi's command began to surround Susanoo and Ara, and also took Kousaka Kyosuke, Seimei and others who were with them with them.

"Human, I will not hold it against you for using magic on me before. You may leave."

Tsukuyomi said to Kousaka Kyosuke.

Despite the excruciating pain of his mental breakdown, Kousaka Kyosuke forced a mocking smile.

"You truly deserve the title of God of Lies. Even though I used my greatest power to shake your invisible divine status, you still managed to persuade others with just your words. You are truly remarkable."

"It seems that using forbidden techniques on me is quite unpleasant."

Quickly guessing Kousaka Kyosuke's state, Tsukuyomi's killing intent intensified, but her smile remained as gentle as a spring breeze.

Kyosuke Kosaka laughed and said, "I am truly flattered. I tricked you, Lady Tsukuyomi, and now you are willing to treat me so gently."

Just as one needs to speak to buy time before Tsukuyomi, Kyosuke Kousaka also hopes to buy a little time to alleviate the pain in his soul.

Susanoo did indeed grasp a smattering of Susanoo's power.

However, even the slightest bit of it is full of terrifying destructive power, let alone illusions that affect the soul.

"Since you don't intend to leave, then you shall fall into hell along with the other rebellious gods." After saying this, Tsukuyomi prepared to summon the moon sea under his control and take down everyone at once.

He had no intention of letting go of any of the gods who knew his identity, were willing to obey his orders, or even the star messengers who were still loyal to him.

Suddenly, Tsukuyomi found violent, destructive lightning flowing within his body. His body trembled, and soon some bright red blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.

"Lord Tsukuyomi!" The Star Messengers looked at Tsukuyomi with concern.

Tsukuyomi ignored them and instead focused her attention on Kousaka Kyosuke, whose expression was also not very pleasant.

"Lord Tsukuyomi, I think you should not act rashly. As a noble acting god-king, you should keep a close eye on your subordinates while they work."

Kousaka Kyosuke reminded.

He was well aware that Tsukuyomi's strength lay primarily in her authority, and that the moon sea she summoned possessed various incredible powers, so he had made the necessary preparations.

"Ara and Susanoo did consider whether or not to attack the other divine forces in Takamagahara, but I never expected that in the end we would have to resort to such an immature method of mutual destruction."

To perish together? It's not necessarily about giving up one's entire life.

At most, he'll only have half his life left.

As the most troublesome of the evil gods, and one whose power is at its peak, Tsukuyomi certainly deserves Kousaka Kyosuke's treatment.

"a……"

Kagura almost cried, but managed to hold back in the end.

"Very well, I'll take a closer look at how you're struggling," Tsukuyomi said to Kousaka Kyosuke with a smile, then ordered her other subordinates, "Go and take the head of the traitorous god."

"Yes!" the soldiers replied in unison.

Seeing this, Susanoo and Ara had no choice but to fight against them. Seimei, Minamoto no Yorimitsu, and the others, at Ara's signal, stayed with Kousaka Kyosuke and retreated to the side.

None of the other divine forces paid any attention to these humans.

Perhaps it was disdain, or perhaps Susanoo and Ara were more important.

"What should we do?" Minamoto no Hiromasa frowned as he looked at the chaotic battle not far away, almost wanting to go and help. "Are we really going to abandon Lord Ara and the God of War?"

Yaobikuni said, "It's not about abandoning them, it's about trying to find a way to solve the current problem—both Lord Ara and Lord Susanoo don't want to fight the other gods of Takamagahara."

Minamoto no Yorimitsu smiled: "Hesitation only leads to more trouble. If you don't make a firm decision, you'll only miss more and more opportunities."

Previously, Minamoto no Yorimitsu was well aware that the period when Tsukuyomi exuded the aura of an evil god was the best time to fight him, but unfortunately, he missed it because he did not want to start a fierce battle.

Now, Kyosuke Kousaka has once again bought time for everyone using forbidden techniques, but no matter how much he buys time, he still needs his other companions not to hold him back.

It is obvious that Minamoto no Yorimitsu felt that Ara and Susanoo, who acted on emotion, were holding him back.
