Gacha games can't save this bizarre world.

They're not easy to deal with; they're like living gods, and the kind with extremely powerful bodies, their physiques as large as mountains.

Ashiya Dōman was probably the most knowledgeable among them. He lived during the Tang Dynasty, a time when the Celestial Empire was at its peak, a time when immortals and gods held official positions in the court, the era at the beginning of Journey to the West.

Even he had only seen the Silver God from afar in the Otherworld. And he had never seen one this violent.

Watching the rampaging Yamata no Orochi smash the mountain to pieces, Ashiya Dōman couldn't help but think that even at his peak, he wouldn't be able to face such a being.

This thing is probably too much for even a typical Silver True God to handle.

Tsuchimikado Sensaki's expression was calm at this moment, his divine robe fluttering in the wind, and he was surrounded by eight shikigami, which were inherited from his ancestors.

Of the twelve shikigami left behind by Abe no Seimei, he could only control eight at a time, and that was achieved by using two fragments of Ōkuninushi's divine essence (he secretly collected another one).

This battle is crucial to whether he can achieve what his ancestors accomplished. Each of the eight shikigami is a trump card!

Princess Sai was relatively calm. She also possessed a replica of the Yata no Kagami. If we were to say who posed the greatest threat to the Yamata no Orochi, it would undoubtedly be her.

However, she now had a very bad feeling that this battle was likely to end badly.

To die? So be it. I don't care. If I die in battle, it won't be for the royal family, but for the people of Japan.

Her spiritual energy began to burn, and she entered a state of ethereal tranquility, disregarding life and death.

Chika Hidee wore the magnificent robes of a priestess, with a white rabbit beside her, four fragments of divine essence floating behind her head, and red threads hanging from her fingers.

There's a story about the god Ōkuninushi, whose 80 wicked brothers tricked a skinned rabbit into bathing in seawater and then drying it. Ōkuninushi ultimately helped the rabbit by rinsing it with fresh water and applying herbs to help it heal.

Finally, the White Rabbit prophesied that the Great Lord would win the heart of the beautiful woman.

This is the legend of the White Rabbit of Inaba, the rabbit god of Japan.

Japan boasts eight million gods, but most of them are only in name, not in reality. The most pathetic of them all is probably Black Iron.

The White Rabbit God wasn't Silver-ranked either; the one beside Senke Hidee now was merely a portion left behind by the White Rabbit God, and naturally only possessed Bronze-ranking strength. This was one of the trump cards that Izumo Taisha had preserved for generations.

Its greatest strength lies in prophecy, and the outcome of this prophecy was very bad.

After all, this disaster was a calamity that brought about the destruction of the country, compounded by the resentment of Izanami, the curse of Ōkuninushi, the resurrection of Yamata no Orochi, the conspiracy of Emperor Sutoku, and so on.

She was mentally prepared.

The Pure Land Master, Master Quanzhi, stood silently with his hands clasped in prayer. He was so thin that he was practically skin and bones wrapped in his monk's robes. The Pure Land School is different from the True Pure Land School, which allows people to marry, drink alcohol, and eat meat. This school reveres the journey to the Western Paradise.

Although the Western Paradise is probably now completely bare, with nothing left.

But even after a century of arduous self-cultivation, his ambition remained undiminished.

"Amitabha Buddha, after a hundred years of ascetic practice, today is the day that this old monk renounces this stinking body and returns to the Pure Land. How joyous and worthy of celebration! How wonderful!"

The old monk chanted Buddhist mantras, his whole body radiating golden light, and he began to swell up, slowly transforming from an old, frail, and skeletal figure into a strong, middle-aged monk.

Xiaoming was a little confused by that battle, feeling that the Yamata no Orochi was so terrifying that it made her legs tremble.

Fortunately, she still had her greatest support behind her: the Ghost in front and the Ghost behind.

She's only 16 years old this year. She was able to become a Bronze 1-star because of the spiritual power passed down through generations in her family. In reality, her combat strength isn't that great.

The real fighting power lies with the Oni and Goki behind her. While they certainly can't compare to the peak power of the active Ozuno, they are still far beyond the reach of ordinary Bronze Shikigami.

Yi Xiaoming observed the Yamata no Orochi through his ancestral protective technique and was so shocked that his mouth dropped open: "Eight...eight...it actually has eight million spiritual power?! How...how terrifying!"

A normal Bronze-level transcendent only has tens of thousands of spiritual power!

"Xiaoming, stand behind us! This opponent is no ordinary character." The usually gentle Goki Myodou (female) now stood in front of Xiaoming with a serious expression.

The tall, imposing man in full armor, Zeng Gui, scoffed, "Hmph, it's just a giant snake! I, Zeng Gui, will stew it into snake soup!"

That contemporary Hattori Hanzo has disappeared without a trace.

To be honest, this mission was really tough on them. After all, ninjas are a superhuman profession that targets humans, so facing large superhuman creatures was already quite difficult.

Now I'm facing a Yamata no Orochi as big as a mountain. Can someone teach me how to assassinate this thing?

The contemporary Shogun, Tokugawa Shigekuni, was middle-aged. He had a square face with a full beard, a serious expression, and a tall stature. He wore a black haori with the Tokugawa family crest of three leaves printed on the back, giving him a very dignified appearance.

Although he was only a Bronze 3-star, the aura he displayed was extremely powerful.

Even from hundreds of meters away, one could feel the palpable pressure. Psychic energy became sluggish upon entering that range.

The precious sword hanging at his waist was none other than the Dojigiri Yasutsuna, one of the Five Great Swords of the Land. This sword was forged by Yasutsuna, a swordsmith from Hōki Province.

It was named after Minamoto no Yorimitsu, who used this sword to slay a demon named Shuten-dōji in Mount Ōe.

This sword was passed down through the families of the shoguns of Muromachi, and was once owned by Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Tokugawa Ieyasu.

Shuten-dōji: Brother Ma forced this! If I catch you, you'll regret it!

Moreover, this person possesses the mark of the ultimate overlord. This is the Shogunate's greatest trump card, the foundation upon which it has ruled Japan for centuries.

As mentioned before, the Shogun's government has secretly cultivated many elites. They all possess the mark of a hegemon and can often unleash their full potential at crucial moments, even advancing in combat.

Each time the holders of the Conqueror's Seal grow, a portion of their spiritual energy is gathered into Tokugawa Shigekuni.

It combines the strength of many elites into one!

This not only allowed him to reach Bronze 3-star in his thirties, but also gave him unparalleled explosive destructive power! After all, he was essentially powered by hundreds of elite psionic packs.

Tokugawa Shigekuni: This is a golden opportunity! I will show the world the power of the Shogun! Even if I cannot regain power, I will once again reach the top of power.

Zhao Hao: Oh no! Someone's imitating me? I've become a stand-in?!

……

Under the leadership of Prince Zhaiwang, Zhao Hao and his men launched an attack on the Yamata no Orochi.

The Yamata no Orochi was enjoying its buffet when suddenly someone attacked it. Enraged, it abandoned its meal and launched an attack on the bronze-level superhumans in all directions. Lightning, fire, darkness, red death rays…

Including Zhao Hao's nine Bronze Transcendent beings, they were not ordinary people after all; they were elites among the Bronze level, and their combat power far exceeded that of their peers.

Ashiya Dōman, for example, had even reached Bronze 4-star. In his hands, Onmyoji techniques that were unheard of and unseen by contemporary Onmyoji were like a never-ending torrent of nuclear wastewater. Every move was a terrifying spell that could alter the terrain.

Not to be outdone, Tsuchimikado Sensaki has eight shikigami by her side, each with their own abilities. Tengu's attacks can cause massive explosions over a radius of tens of meters, Gouchen has extremely keen all-sensory perception and can predict attacks, and Rokugo has the ability to create large-scale barriers... Their overall abilities are off the charts.

Lord Saiō held the Yata no Kagami (Eight-Span Mirror), releasing light that enveloped the entire Mount Fuji, exerting a powerful suppressive force on the Yamata no Orochi (Eight-Headed Serpent).

Beside Senka Hidee are half a white rabbit god, fragments of Ōkuninushi's divine essence, and karmic threads connecting other divine authorities.

Master Quanzhi and En no Xiaoming are no ordinary beings either. The former is an old monk who has cultivated for a hundred years and has become a spirit, and is now prepared to sacrifice himself for the Dharma. The latter possesses two shikigami passed down from his ancestors.

Tokugawa Shigekuni is a Bronze 3-star with critical hits every time, making him one of the top combatants among Bronze Transcendents.

Even Hattori Hanzo, who was very unsuitable for this battle, found a "bleeding-out" method.

Although each instance can only cause minor damage relative to the size of Orochi, it uses a special ninjutsu to quickly accumulate layers of bleeding, weakening Orochi's health and spiritual energy.

Our Lord Yasuo, well, he just casually slashed a few times as a token gesture. The demonic sword White Serpent, upon encountering the Yamata no Orochi, was too terrified to even show itself.

The ear-piercing buzzing sound continued incessantly, even tearing the air apart and creating visual waves.

It was formed by a rapidly rotating golden psionic light wheel with a diameter of fifteen meters.

The battle has been going on for half an hour, and although the attacks on this side are very rapid and relentless.

The spells formed from psionic energy were colorful, with fireballs, thunder, and earth-shaking tremors. They looked impressive, but in reality, they did not cause much damage to the Yamata no Orochi.

This thing is too big, its defense is too strong, and its health is too high.

Therefore, His Highness decided to go all out and controlled the Yata Mirror to unleash the Radiant Golden Wheel Slash!

A blinding flash of light streaked across the sky. While the other heads knew to dodge, one brainless head, rather dull-witted, took the hit squarely.

In the blink of an eye, blood gushed out like a waterfall, and an enormous snake head crashed to the ground, shattering the rocky landscape.

Become!

However, before anyone could even manage a smile, the bleeding on the severed neck had already stopped, and flesh was beginning to grow back!

To everyone's astonishment, two slightly smaller heads sprouted from the severed neck!

It's turned into a hydra?!

Chapter 460 Old Emperor, Old Silver Coin

Chika used the Three Sacred Treasures to seal off the surrounding area for hundreds of miles, preventing the miasma of the Yamata no Orochi from spreading.

Prince Sai had been using the Yata no Kagami (Eight-Span Mirror) to suppress the Yamata no Orochi's demonic power, and it took him quite a while to find a good opportunity to launch a powerful attack.

That Golden Wheel Slash was extremely powerful; even though Orochi had been attacked by a barrage of attacks before, he hadn't suffered any serious injuries.

But the Golden Wheel Slash cut off Orochi's head as easily as slicing a scallion.

Even after cutting off Orochi's head, the golden wheel continued to fly far away, cutting off a mountain peak in the process.

But to everyone's surprise, this Yamata no Orochi possessed unparalleled regenerative abilities.

It's already impressive that someone can grow a new head after cutting off one, but you've managed to grow two after cutting off one!

That's double the amount!

Although shocked, the Venerable Zhaiwang, being the Venerable Zhaiwang he was, immediately calmed down: "Don't panic, it can't regenerate indefinitely. This head is different from the other one!"

Sure enough, after she pointed it out, everyone noticed the strangeness of this soulless, brain-dead head. A look of wisdom~

We need to try again and obtain reliable intelligence before we can make a plan.

Prince Sai took a deep breath, "Cooperate with me!"

As spiritual energy surged, the Yata Mirror once again emitted golden light, transforming into an enormous, wildly spinning golden wheel.

It's obvious she's going to do it again. A second chance!

This time, however, she couldn't care less about anything else; she only focused on attacking. Preventing Orochi from dodging would depend on the others present.

"I can freeze it... for a moment." Chika's voice came to everyone's ears. She closed her eyes, sweat beaded on her forehead, and she looked very strained.

Ashiya Dōman waved his black feather fan, "This old man can attract some attention."

Tsuchimikado Sensaki said, "I will send a shikigami to interfere with its perception."

"I'll lead the attack!" Tokugawa Shigekuni's Dojigiri Yasutsuna emitted a dazzling spiritual energy.

"I...I can also hold one head back!" Yi Xiaoming: The front ghost and the back ghost should be able to, right?

However, while everyone was still discussing, the Yamata no Orochi had already become enraged. "I had one head cut off for no reason, and then two more grew back to steal my food! I won't accept this!"

It was hurt, and its entire body began to coil around Mount Fuji, causing the mountain to crumble and rocks to tumble down. Streams of crimson magma flowed out beneath it as it moved, like a river of scorching blood! All nine heads were staring at Saiō, ready to pounce.

Zhao Hao yelled, "Stop talking nonsense, find your own target! I'm going!"
