Don't use Type-Moon references in Oregairu!

Even the breeze that brushes my cheeks feels lovely.

In that case, even your steps will become lighter.

The red Mahamandala flowers swayed gently on the plain without wind, as if celebrating the resurrection of the dead and mourning the suffering of the living.

She turned around and looked at the six people who had arrived: "Honorable guests, primates, children of the planet."

With just a casual glance, the immense pressure seemed to weigh heavily on everyone's shoulders. Even PaperMoon, which had stubbornly held on until now, shattered in response, turning into useless trash.

"Oh? I'm so sorry, I've ruined your guide's journey here. My apologies."

Fujimaru Ritsuka's knees were bent halfway down when she heard the polite apology, and she was filled with anger: "Don't talk to yourself! Gaia, isn't this obviously intentional? You're just taking your anger out on her!"

The others, who were still in shock at the opponent's divine power, also realized something was wrong as they struggled to maintain their composure.

Abigail, the most perceptive of them all, propped herself up with her hands, raised her head, and stubbornly shouted:

“That’s right! The leader is right. Although there are no fluctuations at the spiritual level, even the heavy pressure we are currently under is the result of her using her power.”

Enemy Gaia's eyelids twitched as she looked at Abigail: "A third creation born of chance? Hmph... People from another world have also come to this world, and there are two of them. This planet is really enough."

"You could have just had me, but you still prepared so many backup plans. In the end, they were used against you as a weapon."

"Alright, Gaia. We've met before, so let's stop pretending!" Fujimaru Ritsuka roared, flames surging around her.

At his call of flames, Muramasa Tōmōkariya appeared in response, and the power of [Kagutsuchi] was fully unleashed.

Flames that had burned and killed the Great Mother Goddess rose up, accompanied by earth-shaking tremors. The aura of disaster and destruction, darkness and annihilation intertwined with the flames, and a phantom vaguely appeared behind him.

It was a phantom image of a calamity god with a resolute face, bare upper body, and a face identical to that of Fujimaru Ritsuka.

It was not Kagutsuchi, nor Susanoo, nor Hoddle, but a destruction god shadow created solely by Fujimaru Ritsuka's wishes.

The enormous phantom spread its arms, as if breaking free from its restraints, and the pressure from the atmosphere vanished under its immense power, which combined the attributes of three gods.

As if inspired, the other four also began to shine with their own brilliance.

Artoria mounted her beloved horse, and behind her appeared a lion king forged of gold and light.

Abigail once again revealed her heretical witch attire, holding a silver key as tall as herself, behind which was a deity whose shape and face were unrecognizable.

Yukino Yukinoshita spread her arms, and the celestial maiden with swan wings on her back rode Leviathan, floating on the vast ocean.

Behind Yui Yuigahama, countless auspicious clouds appeared, but hidden beneath the golden clouds was a demon king with two horns on his head.

Kasumigaoka Utaha was the least physically capable. She struggled to her feet and summoned a vast divine kingdom in the sky.

The auras of the six individuals intertwined, combined, and evolved, carving out their own piece of land on what was clearly the territory of the enemy Gaia.

"As expected... The strength of the primates allows even the sea of ​​consciousness of all living beings, which is still evolving in chaos and has no chance of entering the soul of the planet, to exert a near-terrifying power."

Gaia, looking quite troubled, rested his chin on his hand and said, "Even you who were among the first to fuse with and digest the Heroic Spirits' Spirit Origins, your luck is truly remarkable."

"So quickly, you've managed to combine your mental imagery with the abilities of the Heroic Spirits, evolving something powerful enough to rival me, a half-spirit Gaia..."

"But it really is you, Fujimaru Ritsuka. Your gifts to the planet make it still favor you even at times like this."

"However, this level is a gross underestimation of me."

"Oh no!" Fujimaru Ritsuka exclaimed in alarm.

Without needing any prompting from him, everyone who had worked together for a long time followed Fujimaru Ritsuka's movements.

The earth ripped apart, and spiritual particles, existing purely for destruction, transformed into pillars of light that crashed into their defensive formation from below.

Almost instantly, the phantom images that everyone had previously conjured were shaken violently by the impact.

"Unite? Will that work? Hahaha~~" Enemy Gaia spread her hands, mocking the six disheveled people without a care: "Struggle all you want, then please me!"

The raging beams of spiritual energy, like molten magma breaking free from the Earth's core, found a weak point on the surface and erupted out wildly.

"The weak can only struggle against the strong by banding together? They might as well die sooner! Because when you band together, you're more likely to be targeted by the strong. Let me see who is the weakest one, the one who will be abandoned by the group!"

Despite Gaia's twisted and nonsensical arguments, the blue light cannons continued to bombard their formation.

Fujimaru Ritsuka realized something was wrong; her decision had been flawed to some extent.

The clever angle and immense force of the spiritual beam's impact rendered the team, who were banding together to defend, unable to move and forced to struggle in place.

Unwittingly, they found themselves trapped in a slow death trap. It can only be said that the strength of Gaia's net far exceeded Fujimaru Ritsuka's expectations.

But at that moment, Yukino broke away without hesitation and rushed towards the gathering psionic beams.

So you have such a spirit of sacrifice, willing to die yourself to give your comrades a chance to breathe? Then so be it.

The enemy Gaia, without blood or tears.

She had already witnessed enough of this kind of self-sacrifice to preserve the group in nature.

Ants that risk exploding their venomous backpacks to escape invasion, antelopes that leap off cliff edges to provide footholds for their companions, and sentry monkeys that warn their kind even at the cost of exposing their own position to predators.

All she could offer was her respect.

Gaia spread her arms, and the pillars of spiritual energy erupting from the ground, under her control, transformed into an even more deadly form, firmly locking onto the spiritual core of the elegant dancer before her.

Yukino's body began to turn into fluid, but it was still not enough in the eyes of Gaia, because she could grasp the location of the other's consciousness.

This strike will be the decisive blow.

"You are too arrogant, Gaia the Enemy."

Yukino revealed a haughty smile.

That's a smile that comes from believing you are better and more outstanding than anyone else.

She leaped high, like Saraswati, the goddess who controls music and dance, but amidst her grace, she still carried a hint of ferocity, like a monster leaping from the sea.

The ability called [Deep Sea Dancer] is activated.

It integrates the essence of the divine core from Leviathan and Saraswati, and displays abilities comparable to Lilith, who resides atop the mooncell.

With the help of his five companions behind him, this area was not entirely under the control of the guy who called himself a Star Soul Half-Spirit.

Then let me take it away.

Within a small area, the plain transforms into a undulating sea level.

The pillar of spiritual light struggled to break through the sea surface, only to dissolve visibly.

But the attack continued, aided by the Celestials, which enabled them to kill even Yukino in her fluid state.

However, with a whale song, a colossal creature leaped from beneath the sea. This enormous monster, composed entirely of water and resembling a dragon or whale, opened its blood-red maw and devoured the pillars of light one by one as they reached Yukino.

The pillar of light exploded, and the great demon collapsed into scattered raindrops, all of which drenched Yukino and Fujimaru Ritsuka.

The magic power consumed within my body has increased. What does this mean?

Fujimaru Ritsuka and his group of cheering and shouting "666" sensed something different.

Gaia narrowed her eyes, smoothing down her long skirt that had been billowing from the blast wave, and said thoughtfully, "So that's how it is. This is the struggle between individuals? As expected, relying solely on memories is not enough."

"Generating spiritual power and controlling it, yet still failing against attacks with superior affinity. This is the way to overcome the strong with the weak."

Yukino landed on the ground, her flushed face clearly indicating that she was not only unharmed, but also as if she had taken some kind of powerful tonic: "Of course, you high and mighty guy. What other tricks do you have up your sleeve?"

The radiance emanating from her resonated with everyone, completely enveloping the small area she was in.

It was Abby who made the move. As the gatekeeper of the Dream Realm, she could understand the current situation to some extent. At this moment, the aura of pure magic overflowed, and the mental power emanating from many people completely prevented Gaia from using a similar close-range attack method again.

“That would be too much.” However, Gaia didn’t care at all.

She opened her arms as if embracing the world.

Above the cloudless sky, as if copied and pasted, appeared clouds full of thunderstorms.

On a windless plain, a massive storm is forming.

It was nothing more than an outer universe that was just a memory background, and meteorites began to fall, leaving red trails.

The flat ground in the distance began to rise, and raindrops of lava were raining down on everyone.

225. A Battle Scene Resembling a Creation Purgatory (Revised)

In this profound space, on the plain where the Mahamansa Zhuhua blooms, although the laws of physics still exist, it possesses a spiritual energy concentration that surpasses that of the surface. Moreover, it has lost one constraint, making it a world where power can exert its true power.

If it were on the Earth's surface, before the Throne of All Things was fully formed and before its power could dominate the planet, perhaps Gaia could only stir up small tornadoes, summon ordinary lightning, and call for small meteorites.

Here, abundant spiritual particles support the transformation of power into reality.

But not everything is in her favor, Gaia. Let me show you something similar.

Fujimaru Ritsuka laughed wildly as he thrust the Tsugumori Muramasa into the ground.

"The sea and the land are my territory; tremble before my power, Takamagahara! Susanoo!"

The earth lost its foundation and began to tremble under the raging power of the god of calamity.

Even the usually indifferent Gaia couldn't help but frown, rising from the ground and standing in the void.

There was no wind, nor any magical fluctuations; it was as if the atmosphere, like her limbs, remained under her control.

However, Fujimaru Ritsuka never even considered using the divine power from Susanoo to cause any harm to the enemy Gaia.

He shook the earth, simply to feel its pulse, to grasp its very essence, and then—

The raging flames poured in from the village of Dumuyi, which was pierced into the earth, transforming into a light that was both crimson and pure blue, and poured into the earth.

Like lightning streaking across the sky, his light flashed through the void, and almost instantly, his magic power, with virtually no loss, captured the ley lines driven by Gaia.

"By the name of Kagutsuchi, all flames become my hands and feet, bloom!"

The magma that kept gushing out in the distance was as if it had been thrown into the absolute zero void, instantly cooling into igneous pumice. The immeasurable heat accumulated below the village of Tomukari.

"Opening up eight mountains, clearing eight valleys, shaping eight rivers, this is the katana of the Dumu-katana! Divine sword, show your brilliance!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka opened his golden eyes, and the Muramasa Tsurugi in his hand, with the karmic connection he had formed with a certain divine child of Mount Ibuki before, intersected here, allowing him to grasp a trace of the divine sword's radiance left behind in the present world with an almost primordial ability.

The magma and heat, which had been completely absorbed by Kagutsuchi as the power of the fire god, meekly submitted to Tomokari Muramasa.

A massive pillar of flame tore through the earth, erupting upwards, and then, as if possessed, swirled in the air, constantly coiling around the Muramasa Tomomori in Fujimaru Ritsuka's hands.

The temperature of tens of thousands was tightly bound within the sword light, which was several meters long, by Kagutsuchi's power. Only the land near the sword light was instantly melted by the heat and turned into magma.

Fujimaru Ritsuka's incredibly powerful concentration ensures that her attack is not merely grand in scale but lacks concentrated lethality.

Using the earth as her scabbard, she reshaped the blade with the fire of the earth, and then polished it with the fire of the gods. With the help of the radiance of the Ama-no-Murakumo sword that once cleaved eight mountains, split eight valleys, and shaped eight rivers, Fujimaru Ritsuka unleashed a strike unlike any she had ever made before.
