Ge Jing Liuli quickly retreated and flew into the air, while using the Jing Liuli Mirror to isolate the surroundings and prevent the world from seeing this horrifying scene.
The creature that devoured the mountain range revealed itself to be a true monster. The vegetation rotted, and even the rocks were swallowed up. There seemed to be festering bloodstains between the serpent scales.
The shrine had seen the serpentine body of Suwa Myojin before. Although enormous, the white serpent's body also possessed a sense of holiness.
But what lies before us is a genuine monster, and that's what everyone would think no matter who comes here.
Its bloated body made it impossible for it to stand up properly; its size was so enormous that it filled the entire mountain range, and its bloated belly was covered in blood.
Eight heads and eight tails were intertwined, spewing venom, water, and fire from their mouths, and their emerald green vertical pupils held only ferocity and greed.
Is this the so-called God of Calamity? No wonder the Great God of the Nation abandoned this incarnation; it was indeed quite unseemly.
Of course, the shrine was also aware that this was because the Yamata no Orochi had been stigmatized. If it were the original Ibukiyama Daimyojin, it would probably be a ruthless yet sacred serpent body, just like Suwa Myojin.
When the monster finally reappeared in the world, its first act was to let out a mournful howl.
A piercing scream pierced through Gejing Liuli's eardrums and penetrated the barrier she had set up.
The yin energy in the entire Yingzhou landform became active, the water vapor in the air began to increase, the water level rose, and the water quality became turbid.
It let out another roar, followed by a tremor of the earth. The sea level along the coast rose, a torrential rain was about to strike, and the entire Yingzhou tectonic plate trembled with the turbulence of the sea.
This commotion, of course, could not be kept secret from the other gods and Buddhas of Yingzhou, and instantly attracted the attention of countless people.
In the very first moment of its resurrection, it sought to tear the country apart in order to prove its recovery.
Chapter 253 The Four Parts of Yingzhou
The earth roared, and waves surged.
Black waves surged in the sea, and a sinister and malevolent aura emanated from all directions. Schools of fish tore at each other, and blood mingled with the turbid waves.
If viewed from above Earth, one might see the sea level gradually encroaching on the land, attempting to split Yingzhou into four independent islands.
In order to better govern, Amaterasu used her power of creating a nation to connect the four islands of Yingzhou, thus creating a unified Yingzhou.
Now, the raging calamity god Yamata no Orochi is determined to tear apart the entire map of Yingzhou and restore the situation before unification.
Although in modern times, with the development of communication and transportation, the distance of the strait can no longer be a factor in changing national politics, it still has corresponding significance in the realm of the mystical.
Land that has been divided and separated signifies independence and isolation, as seen in many stories.
On a remote island far from the mainland, independent beliefs or customs are bound to emerge.
This was what Tokugawa Ieyasu was pursuing. Under a unified political situation, the room for maneuver was greatly reduced, and pushing for changes in the territory might offer a new way out.
As for Ibuki, she didn't ask for anything at all.
Even if the land is subdivided into areas for each individual, the world will still be interconnected, and divisions and groups will arise.
Not to mention, Ibuki, who has already transformed into the Yamata no Orochi, has long lost her rationality and thought, becoming a monster that purely unleashes violence.
It ravaged everything, spewing poisonous fire, blood, frost, and black smoke from its eight heads, wreaking havoc on everything around it.
Its bulky body could only move slowly, but its size was simply too enormous.
In mythology, it is described as a gigantic creature, like eight mountain ranges and eight rivers, making humans appear as insignificant as when facing mountains.
The monster that dwells on this land, on this island nation, seems to have the entire island of Yingzhou as its lair, blocking the pass connecting to Honshu Island.
"Is it Yamata no Orochi?!"
"How is that possible? Wasn't it already dead?"
"Where is Suzumaki-no-Zun? Why didn't any of the three noble sons show up for such an important matter?"
Many gods and Buddhas who witnessed this scene through the mortal world, whether they knew the inside story or not, all showed expressions of astonishment and panic.
The unsuspecting gods and Buddhas were still hoping that one of the three noble sons would step in to resolve the situation, while those who knew the truth fell silent after the initial panic.
The Yamata no Orochi is the half-body severed from the Ōkuninushi of Izumo, representing chaos and violent madness, and is also the opponent's most fundamental form.
After gaining intellect and wisdom from human worship, and through persuasion and negotiation with Amaterasu, he finally decided to abandon his former self and transform into a pure calamity god who was destroyed.
In other words, it is impossible to expect Susanoo to repeat the myth of slaying Yamata no Orochi again. Even if Okuninushi himself combined the power of his other incarnations, he could not take down this abandoned self.
As for the other two of the three noble children, Tsukuyomi distanced herself from the world due to a rift with Amaterasu, while Amaterasu herself inexplicably closed herself off.
For a moment, it seemed impossible to think of anyone else who could step forward and deal with this raging demon.
Not to mention them, even Ge Jing Liuli, who was watching the battle live, couldn't help but send a message to Hell, hoping to obtain...
Part of the help.
"They actually came back to life..."
Within the Izumo Grand Shrine, the Ōkuninushi deity could witness firsthand the enormous, ferocious god moving bloatedly across the ground.
Although she had some suspicions in her heart before, she was only taking precautions.
After all, even with a complete corpse, it is not so easy to be resurrected after losing a life of thousands of years.
Having lost its most important spirit, perhaps the body now operates entirely on a single breath?
The Great God lowered his head and saw a reflection he had never seen before on the ripples of the water, but in the blink of an eye, the reflection disappeared.
"Alas, my weakness and tendency to compromise led to my life by a twist of fate, but now I am returning this life to you."
In the water, invisible to the great god, the reversed reflection of the woman sighed softly.
That's right, it was the unvented rage that transformed into the goddess's rebellious energy, driving the entire body.
That was a final, long-awaited moment of joy, a thousand years overdue.
There is no need to worry that this thing will wreak havoc on the entire island of Yingzhou, or even destroy the country.
Because the madness in his heart will eventually be completely released, and then it will turn back into an inanimate object.
Before that, what level could she have achieved?
On the original Mount Ibuki, now a mountain range completely devoured by the evil god.
After transforming into Yamata no Orochi, its eight hideous heads disregarded the shrine before them, recklessly spewing out various kinds of breath, as if the shrine itself was completely invisible to them.
His only focus was on ravaging this land and venting his pent-up rage.
If left unchecked, it could very well tear the country apart and bring about a devastating disaster.
"Sigh, ignoring me like this is really uninteresting."
After all, the size of the shrine is smaller than even one of the opponent's eyes, so it's quite normal that it goes unnoticed.
"Is Lord Jingu just going to watch it wreak havoc everywhere?"
Ge Jing Liuli flew to the side of the divine palace and urged him to make a move quickly.
"Hey, for this kind of thing, you should find someone with the right expertise, like Ultraman or something."
Jingu remained unhurried and even joked with Kagami Ruri.
Gejing Liuli gritted her teeth; the Divine Palace was clearly just slacking off and joking.
"What are you thinking? Isn't this world your territory? Why aren't you making a move? Do you expect to use this to coerce me into doing anything?"
"You can't just say things like that, Xiao Liuli. I'm not that kind of person, and I would never have such thoughts. Tell the truth, okay?"
Jingu slowly shook his head.
“This thing is too big to handle, and Ibuki is my friend. I still need to figure out how to get her out.”
The shrine maiden's words made Kagome Ruri scoff. She hadn't even tried to stop her, letting her go this far.
"Go ahead and do it. I will naturally pull out her soul. Such a simple and complete death is not her end."
Kajou Ruri raised the Mirror of Pure Ruri, but due to the power of the evil god, it was unable to reflect Ibuki's soul.
Death is the easiest choice, and also an escape. Hell exists so that people have no way to escape it.
Kajō Ruri wouldn't let Ibuki die so easily; in hell, she had an almost endless sentence to serve.
"Sigh, since you put it that way, I'll give it a try. But before that, we need to bring it to the mortal realm first, otherwise..."
Chapter 254 Appropriate methods must be used to deal with monsters
The foundation, already fragile and unstable due to the rampage of Orochi, would likely be completely destroyed if the Shinto shrine were to intervene.
As for taking action to stabilize Yingzhou's foundation, that's even more unacceptable.
That situation is like two people fighting over the same cake. If one person holds the cake, it will remain intact; but if they each try to grab it, it will collapse.
The enormous size and power of the Yamata no Orochi could not be dealt with by a mere breeze.
If we were to deal with this in the mortal world, even if Yingzhou hadn't sunk into the sea, it wouldn't have been any better than after being ravaged by the Yamata no Orochi.
It's simply a matter of turning the four islands into two separate sections.
"this......"
Bringing this colossal entity into the mortal realm is indeed a difficult problem, but with the support of Hell and the assistance of the Divine Palace, it is not entirely impossible.
Through the Mirror of Pure Crystal, she applied to Hell for permission to have the support of the entire Yama's Palace and the Ten Kings' Court.
After exchanging a few words with her eyes closed, Gejing Liuli opened her eyes again, and the majesty of the presiding judge reappeared on her face.
"Lord Jingu, please restrain its movements for a moment. I will work with my colleagues in Hell to open the gates of Hell and pull it into the mortal world."
"Then you'd better hurry up. I'm fine with this guy struggling, but I'm afraid he won't be able to hold on."
Since Kagome Ruri was taking it so seriously, the shrine decided to stop teasing her.
With a flick of the finger, mountains crumbled and the earth split open in an instant, from the sea, from the cracked earth, from the howling wind and clouds, and from the thunder that flashed by.
Once created by the Divine Palace in the mortal world, and then reintegrated into the world, the dragons and serpents, who gather all the myriad things in the world and appear in the form of the aggregation of elements, have reappeared.
Like a manifestation of nature, they were summoned by their creator and, after appearing, responded to their creator's command and coiled around the body of the Yamata no Orochi.
A furious roar echoed through the heavens and earth, as if questioning why these strange creatures dared to attack it.
The eight-headed ferocious god was entangled with these dragons and snakes, and the scene before them looked like a mythical battle that took place in a distant era.
The servants of the gods transformed into dragons and serpents, entangled in battle with a ferocious god as large as a mountain.
Their battle easily toppled mountains, dried up lakes, and shook the earth.
