Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Page 1494

In addition, the golden lightning in his hand, which seemed to connect with heaven and earth, was like an endless spear that stretched infinitely. The corrupted demons all over the land could not avoid it and hurriedly fled away from Susanoo.

This is the War God of Takamagahara.

The strongest one on the Japanese side.

At this moment, Kyosuke Kosaka could be certain of this fact without hesitation.

"Evil gods, how dare you continue to be so presumptuous before me?"

With his back to the people of Kyoto, Susanoo's voice boomed like thunder as he loudly rebuked the evil god beyond the Gates of Six Paths.

The evil gods, not to be outdone, responded one after another—

"How dare an executioner who disappeared a thousand years ago boast such a thing in front of us?"

"Your divine status has long been destroyed; you are the one who should have been the least presumptuous!"

"Your lightning vanished a thousand years ago..."

The evil gods seem to have quite a way with words.

Kousaka Kyosuke had no interest in listening to their nonsense and told Minamoto no Hiromasa, Fujiwara no Michitsuna, and the others to quickly arrange for people to retreat to a safe area.

At this point, there is clearly no opportunity for ordinary Onmyoji or samurai to exert their power, so it is best to conserve strength and avoid causing trouble for Susanoo.

Based on Kyosuke Kousaka's understanding of Susanoo, this deity would most likely consider the safety of others and thus limit his actions.

Therefore, it is naturally necessary for Kyosuke Kousaka to prevent this from happening.

"Oh, I'm a little late, please don't mind."

Not long after, Yaobikuni also arrived here.

Accompanying her were Seimei, Shiro, the shrine maiden Fuyuka, and others.

Kyosuke Kosaka asked, "How was your journey here?"

Little White, who had already transformed into her true form as a large fox, cried out in anguish: "The whole place where we lived has been destroyed!"

"Don't worry, this can be rebuilt. After the great battle, I'll use magic to create an exact replica of the house for you."

"Oh, really, Kyosuke-sama?"

"Hey, puppy, now's not the time to be thinking about this kind of thing!"

It seems that Minamoto no Hiromasa, who often argues with Shiro, is about to argue with him again.

Xiaobai complained, "Lord Boya, your room has been ruined too."

"That's exactly right, that's why I will definitely take revenge on these evil gods!" Minamoto no Hiromasa said through gritted teeth. "Alright, I also have to—"

"Ahhhhh!!"

Painful screams echoed from the sky.

It's the voice of evil gods!

While exchanging ideas with Seimei, Yaobikuni, and others who had just arrived, Kousaka Kyosuke kept a close eye on the aerial battle.

Therefore, he witnessed almost the entire process of Susanoo overwhelming the evil gods who had descended upon parts of his body with overwhelming force.

Boom boom boom! !

The simultaneous explosion of thunder, with its deafening sound, almost completely interrupted everyone's actions.

Even those who were exchanging simple words couldn't help but look up at the sky.

The omens, seemingly foreshadowing the destruction of the world, unusually did not cause much panic.

"There's no way to avoid it, absolutely no way to avoid it..."

Kousaka Kyosuke, who thought he was about to engage in a fierce battle with the evil gods, felt a strange and inexplicable feeling.

Seeing someone who could kill him in an instant, it's hard for Kyosuke Kousaka not to have complex emotions.

After all, he had never encountered such a perplexing situation before.

Well, it seems I need to work on adjusting my mindset.

The Heavenly Emperor in the Central Plains should be at least as strong as Susanoo. If I could have even half of Susanoo's strength, I would be able to protect myself in the Central Plains.

No, it's best not to think about these miscellaneous things right now.

[Evacuate to the city!]

Upon regaining his senses, Kyosuke Kousaka immediately took action to instruct the other guardians who had ceased their actions due to the celestial anomaly.

withdraw!

Fujiwara no Michitsuna simply used his spiritual power to draw a huge character for "withdraw".

Soon, groups of people evacuated into the city in an orderly fashion.

Very few people remained on the front lines.

"This is terrifying!" The somewhat bewildered Xiaobai finally snapped out of it and twitched his ears violently. "This is the execution god who is even more terrifying than evil gods? Is this the Susanoo we saw in the illusion?"

"Although I had seen it in that illusion, I only realized I was afraid of thunder when I actually saw it. But no matter how scared I was, I wouldn't back down!"

Yaobikuni looked down at the still-shaking ground and exclaimed in amazement.

"The entire city of Kyoto trembled with the thunder of Lord Susanoo. Such power could destroy the world in an instant."

Fujiwara Michitsuna laughed and said, "No matter what, as long as this power doesn't conceal a tyrannical heart."

finally come.

The God of Execution, who can fight against evil gods and even completely eliminate them, has finally arrived.

Even though he didn't want to rely too much on others, Fujiwara no Michitsuna had been hoping for this to happen, and thankfully it finally did.

Ultimately, humanity's power was simply no match for these powerful and immortal evil gods.

Even though Fujiwara no Michitsuna knew that Kousaka Kyosuke seemed very strong and could even fight against the evil god, this was still not enough to eliminate the evil god once and for all.

Unlike Susanoo... just by looking at the lightning, Fujiwara no Michitsuna knew that the destructive divine lightning was enough to solve the most troublesome aspect of evil gods: immortality.

“Let’s join in too,” Minamoto no Hiromasa suggested.

Seeing that Susanoo had already reached the edge of the Six Paths Gate, Kousaka Kyosuke said, "Let's not. If more people get involved in this battle, Lord Susanoo won't be able to exert his full strength."

After all, he was his brother-in-law, so he didn't want to say anything too cold or harsh.

That would be a blow to my self-esteem.

“Hiromasa, calm down,” Seimei, who hadn’t said much, spoke up. “That Susanoo-sama has his own ideas, and we might only cause trouble if we go over there.”

Minamoto no Hiromasa's expression suddenly turned serious.

"The evil god's side..."

Kyosuke Kosaka frowned deeply: "The power to descend into the human world has become stronger again. Perhaps it can come over from the other side of the Six Paths Gate soon."

The reason why Kyosuke Kosaka was able to beat those evil gods so badly before was also related to the fact that the evil gods could not exert their full power.

If it were the truly complete form, Kyosuke Kousaka would probably only be able to barely handle it.

These evil gods are indeed among the top ranks, but they are simply not as powerful as the strongest gods like Yamata no Orochi and Susanoo.

"You reckless executioner! We won't die with you!"

"Run!"

It seemed that the evil gods who had descended upon more of the land suddenly cried out in alarm, and one by one they retreated back into the Gate of the Six Paths.

"..."

Kousaka Kyosuke watched silently as Susanoo relentlessly pursued and struck down the evil gods with swift and domineering lightning strikes.

"Was I like this when I was working myself to the bone before?"

Longkui, standing beside him, looked horrified: "He infused the power of lightning into his body, which is why each strike possesses a terrifying force akin to divine punishment..."

Kagura thought for a moment and explained to Longkui:

"As the god of storms and thunder, Lord Susanoo's body, and even his soul, are probably formed from countless bolts of lightning."

Xiao Bai was somewhat pleased to see the evil gods forced to retreat.

"Does this mean everything is alright for now?"

“I don’t think so. Didn’t you hear some strange whispers in the sky?” Kousaka Kyosuke asked Shiro.

The evil gods did indeed move some of their descended bodies back into the Six Paths Gate, but in reality, they were just hiding in a tortoise shell, waiting for their chance to strike.

Unexpected events could happen at any time.

In fact, Kyosuke Kosaka's idea was not wrong at all.

A solemn declaration, uttered with unusual seriousness, echoed from the sky—

"This sinful world, this capital city teeming with desire, is the seed we have sown, the bitter fruit we have waited for a thousand years to reap."

"We should pick them ourselves, and we should taste them ourselves."

Even if you block our outstretched hands, you cannot stop the flow of fate...

The heavens and earth trembled, as if in response to the declaration of the evil gods.
