The Last Sentinel

"Intruder, what have you done to Ms. Orin?!"

"You...you killed Miss Orihime!"

"You are blaspheming!"

A dazzling golden chain of mental energy pierced straight through his brow, completely shattering his nerve cells.

The elderly shrine priest opened his eyes wide, his pupils filled with confusion, shock, and hatred.

More shrine priests retreated, their old-fashioned robes revealing the past pride and smugness etched on their numb faces, while their trembling hands and feet showed their bewilderment and helplessness at the destruction of their faith.

Before the colossal statue of Amaterasu, the shrine priests, stripped of their former lofty glory, stood one by one before the statue, facing the intruders.

The young man, dressed in a black trench coat, with a flaming crown burning behind him and a golden aura emanating from him, looked like a true god manifested in the mortal world. He walked towards them step by step, making them retreat step by step.

Ye Feng's gaze swept over the second priest elder who appeared to be the leader, and he said calmly, "Hand over the Yata Mirror!"

The second priest glanced at the slain elder, gritted his teeth, and shouted, "Amaterasu will not forgive you!"

Ye Feng raised his hand, and the golden divine chain on his fingertip pierced through his brow, sending him back to Amaterasu's hometown!

"It seems you all have a lot of backbone."

"In that case, let's not waste any more time."

Ye Feng spread his arms wide and addressed everyone, "Let's resolve this once and for all. I'll find the Yata Mirror myself!"

Before he finished speaking, golden chains of divine light rose up behind Ye Feng. The chains were dense and numerous, and with a single thought, they would ensure that there would be no survivors among the almost all the priests present.

"Don't kill us! I... I'll take you to get the Yata no Kagami!"

A priest knelt on the ground and began to plead.

Ye Feng said calmly, "I'm sorry, I'm late."

Ye Feng suddenly lowered his hands!

Countless golden chains poured out from behind, the vast and magnificent golden chains resembling the sharpest beams of heavenly lasers, cascading down!

Golden chains whistled down, and one by one the priests fell to the ground, their faces still bearing anger and curses, their eyes filled with a lingering regret that the gods had saved them.

But the gods did not appear; instead, a bizarre scene unfolded.

Blood flowed from the mouths and noses of the fallen priests. The blood pooled together and slowly spread down the wall behind them, where the statue of Amaterasu was carved.

The blood turned the dimly lit Amaterasu statue on the wall into a vivid crimson. The once magnificent and solemn statue of Amaterasu, which inspired awe and reverence, suddenly turned crimson and malevolent. The gentle and beautiful face of the statue suddenly transformed into an ugly and ferocious fanged face, and the flowing and elegant long dress turned into a hideous blood-red fur and scales. The entire Amaterasu statue suddenly transformed from a perfect goddess into a resurrected Yaksha or Shura.

At that moment, Ye Feng suddenly spread his arms wide, throwing his black trench coat aside to reveal his silver-white Nantianmen combat uniform.

Ye Feng pressed the button on his belt, and a solemn male voice from the Human Alliance echoed throughout the vast Amaterasu Temple.

"You ask me what the truth about religion is?"

"I'll answer you now! Apart from a small number of ethnic religions established by humans themselves, the truth about the vast majority of religions is that they are heretical organizations that exploit human flesh and blood. The so-called gods among them are nothing more than some of the earliest aliens to arrive on Earth. They bewitch the lower-level humans among them, take them as believers, and make them their followers and henchmen, so that they can obtain blood and souls for them!"

"Admit it! You simply can't stand those grotesque aliens! They're different from us. You can't stand the disrespect shown to corpses. Today it eats your family's bodies, tomorrow it'll eat you! You can't stand these aliens, no different from the monsters of ancient legends, everywhere in your life. Their behavior and life forms are completely different from ours!"

"Fellow countrymen! Look around you! Those slimy, tentacle-like monsters are murmuring about the delicious taste of yesterday's human flesh and blood! We have shown them mercy, tried to coexist peacefully with them, but what have they done to us? They have stolen our genes, plundered the fruits of human civilization, and wrapped these fruits of civilization as their gifts to humanity! Therefore, humanity will no longer compromise. We must make them understand what humanity truly is!"

"Humanity is the flame that burns through the darkness, the hammer that shatters the shackles, the only crowned rulers of this planet and even the universe! There is no longer peace between us and them, only war and cleansing. We will baptize the galaxy with plasma flames and compose music for the universe with salvos of planet-destroying cannons..."

"Huff, huff—that's enough!"

A powerful divine thought, accompanied by a hoarse and sharp voice, interrupted the Human Alliance's whispers.

The walls trembled, and the crimson beast that Amaterasu had transformed into struggled madly.

The massive walls of the divine palace trembled and shattered. A colossal statue, ten meters tall, transformed into a ferocious beast. Its thick, scaly claws and sharp blades glowed with a crimson light. Its wolf-like head, with its scarlet eyes fixed on Ye Feng, roared, "Human Alliance! Damn Human Alliance! Have you forgotten the Takamagahara Peace Treaty? Are you going to betray the peace treaty and invite divine punishment from Takamagahara?"

Ye Feng looked at the monster in front of him. It resembled an Eastern wolf demon and a Western werewolf, like a hybrid.

With just one glance, Ye Feng felt a strong sense of unease, a hatred that originated from the level of the original genetic code and a strong urge to destroy it!

At this moment, Ye Feng admitted that he had nothing in common with them; all that remained was war and purges.

"War!" Ye Feng's eyes turned crimson gold, and he suddenly spread his arms wide. "The cleanup operation shall begin."

"roar--"

Come on!

The golden, radiant spiritual light filled the Iga Shrine.

The enormous black shadow swung its sharp blades wildly at Ye Feng, its huge claws shrouded in thick blood light, and its roars shook the entire shrine.

The golden chains, like cold, hard laws, relentlessly pierced the body of the fanged beast.

"Is that all? The strongest members of the Human Alliance!"

"You've gotten weaker!"

"Such excellent blood food!"

"This is truly a rare sight! Hahaha!"

Even though his body was covered in golden chains, the ferocious wolf demon still roared and charged wildly, with sharp blades striking Ye Feng all around him.

A transparent silver shield appeared around the combat suit, resisting the wolf demon's attack.

Ye Feng was somewhat astonished and found it hard to believe that even the S-class hexagonal warrior King Arthur could not withstand his mental suppression. In the face of the divine chains, even the S-class monster Little Black was pierced through!

This guy actually ate hundreds or even thousands of my mental chains and didn't fall down!

How is that possible!

In the chat group.

Immortal God of Magic: Possibly! How could it not be possible? The mental chains attack the opponent's mental consciousness, to be more specific, the neuronal cells in the central nervous system. The fact that the opponent can still be alive and kicking even after you've shot hundreds or thousands of chains at them can only mean that the opponent doesn't have a brain.

Ye Feng: It has no brain? Then how does it talk to me? It even speaks with logic!

Immortal God of Magic: It's very simple. The one opposite you is a spirit, a puppet spirit, controlled by a more powerful monster! This kind of evil spirit looks powerful, but it actually has a lot of openings. If you look carefully, you will definitely find something.

While dodging the wolf demon's attacks, Ye Feng continuously condensed divine chains, and golden chains as thick as ship anchors crashed down relentlessly, knocking the wolf demon down repeatedly, only to rise again and again.

Both Ye Feng and the Wolf Demon were caught in a protracted battle; one was a mage with almost inexhaustible mental power.

A spirit-controlling monster that ignores mental damage.

As the two sides fought, Ye Feng keenly noticed that no matter how the wolf demon moved, it always kept its tail connected to the wall.

Could it be that the walls are the source of this wolf demon's energy?

Thinking of this, Ye Feng suddenly stepped forward, his body enveloped in powerful golden spiritual energy, releasing a series of golden spiritual phantoms that layered and enveloped the wolf demon, interfering with its vision.

It's now!

Using his mental clone as cover, Ye Feng arrived behind the wolf demon, grabbed its tail with one hand, and pulled it out of the crack in the wall like a radish!

"roar--"

The moment the wolf demon's tail was pulled out, its ten-meter-tall body began to decay continuously, and plumes of black and red smoke rose up, boiling and soaring into the sky.

The golden chains strangled and constricted the wolf relentlessly; in the blink of an eye, the arrogant and domineering wolf was reduced to a skeleton.

"Ding!"

A voice transmitted through the button on the combat suit's chest, "Congratulations on slaying an A-rank heretic and devouring a demonic beast! You have gained points. Thank you for your contribution to the Human Alliance. May the spirits of your ancestors bless you with invincible victories!"

Ye Feng sat on the steps, panting heavily.

I almost lost to an A-level heretic.

This combat power is inflated far too much!

If it were King Arthur and his men, King Arthur probably wouldn't even need to lift a finger; his underlings could easily raze the shrine and take the wolf skeleton back to King Arthur as a collectible.

He had been fighting this guy for almost an hour. If word got out, King Arthur would probably be laughing his head off.

"No need for further explanation!"

"Long live the Human Alliance!"

Ye Feng roused himself, walked to the wall, and examined it, saying, "Come out yourself, don't force me to take action!"

The wall flickered, and then a dark halo seeped out, transforming the entire wall from a rough and rugged appearance into a smooth mirror. A mirror, a huge mirror as tall as a five-story building, appeared in front of Ye Feng.

At that moment, a blurry yet exquisitely beautiful goddess-like figure appeared in the mirror. She stared at Ye Feng, her voice ethereal, "The Human Alliance has finally torn up the peace treaty. Takamagahara and humanity have finally entered into war!"

Ye Feng said calmly, "It was Atlantis that signed the contract with Fusang, not the Nantianmen Project. The Nantianmen Project has never signed any peace agreement with you, nor has it ever. Nantianmen is the most steadfast believer of the Human Alliance. In our eyes, there is only war and purge; there is no third way!"

The phantom of Amaterasu asked, "So, is Nantenmon going to declare war on Takamagahara on behalf of the Human Alliance?"

Ye Feng didn't speak, but simply pressed a button on his belt. A resolute, low voice from the Human Alliance rang out, "War! War! War!"

"Fellow countrymen, it is time! Activate the war treaty! Dispatch the heretic containment squad! Dispatch the mech army!"

"We will fight in the Himalayas, in Antarctica, in the Arctic, in Atlantis, in Eden, in Heaven, in Hell, on the far side of the moon, and at the Lagrange points!"

"We fight for the future of humanity! Even if it means burning down the seas and igniting galaxies!"

"Tell all heretics, the war has begun!"

The illusory image of Amaterasu dissipated, and the enormous mirror, five stories high, slowly shrank, transforming into an ancient bronze mirror the size of a palm.

The Three Sacred Treasures of Japan: The Yata no Kagami!

Take it!
