The Best of Times, The Worst of Times: Chapter Sixty-Five: The Spirit Realm Will Never Fall

Forty-two years!

The second node lasted only nine years in total before being destroyed in the tenth year.

How long can the spirit world hold out?

How long can this last in the real world?

By then, the daylilies will be cold.

Kagura Tendou remained silent, for he had always intended to get the gods of the spirit world and humans to cooperate and overcome the difficulties together.

Are we going to be picked off one by one now?

He stood there for a long time, as if he had taken root there.

Myoken-sama felt a pounding in his heart, a strange sense of pressure pressing down on him, and he immediately tensed up.

This guy's plan failed, are they planning to kill him right here?

But he really couldn't do anything about it. He wasn't high-ranking or strong. Although he had a name, he could only be described as the bottom of the class.

Miko looked at Tendo Kagura with a worried expression; through their mental link, she could sense Tendo Kagura's heavy emotions.

She could understand Kagura's thoughts, but the real world often doesn't go as planned.

“We will not fail. The glory of the gods is eternal. Amaterasu believes that the spirit world is enough to overcome the calamity…” Seeing the atmosphere growing increasingly silent, Myoken-no-Mikoto couldn’t help but speak.

Of course, Amaterasu didn't have this gentle attitude; she chose to say things in a more pleasant way.

Otherwise, if the true story of Amaterasu were to be transmitted to him, he felt he would hardly live to see the next second.

After all, it was Tendo Kagura who proposed the alliance.

Otherwise, even if all the world's leaders came together as a group, Myoken-no-Mikoto would most likely say, "I'm not targeting anyone in particular..."

Tendou Kagura closed her eyes slightly and sighed, "Can you withstand the erosion of the rules?"

"The Spirit Realm will never fall," Myoken-no-Mikoto said confidently.

He himself was of average skill and not very strong in combat, but he had great faith in the gods.

With them guarding the spirit realm, there is absolutely no chance of anything going wrong.

Worried that Kagura wouldn't believe him, Myoken continued, "The Spirit Realm's resources are actually terrifying; many things surpass human comprehension, and the gods also have backup plans in the mortal world..."

Boom!

Before he could finish speaking, a loud cracking sound came from beyond the sky, as if something had exploded.

The bronze door suddenly trembled, and even the two strange hands disguised as trees, which served as guards for the bronze door, began to sway.

The tremor was so strong, it felt like the world was turning upside down.

Seeing this, she instinctively grabbed Tendo Kagura, trying to maintain her balance.

But to Jianzi's astonishment, the real world was completely calm and uneventful.

The vibration she felt seemed like an illusion.

No, it's the spirit world that's in turmoil.

Yotsuya Miko suddenly looked up, guided by her own spirituality, she subconsciously looked southeast, towards the sea.

Along the coast of Chiba, an inexplicable incident occurred beyond the coastline.

The once clear sky was suddenly filled with large, dark clouds that covered the sky and were churning violently.

Seeing the child staring in astonishment.

After becoming a spiritualist, her five senses seemed to be enhanced, and she could see into the distance and glimpse the movements there.

The black clouds were churning violently and were extremely restless, like boiling water, with a rumbling sound.

In the dim light, she seemed to see several tails as thick as mountains stirring up the black clouds, but the dark clouds obscured them, and she could not see the tails themselves. She could only speculate that the tails originated from a living being. With those movements, boundless winds and waves were stirred up. The tails moved with great amplitude, as if they were fighting with someone.

boom!

The deafening roars continued, like drums beating or angry shouts echoing through the sky.

Because Miko could see the spirit world so clearly, she couldn't even tell whether the loud noises came from the mortal world or the spirit world.

But one thing is certain: the spirit world is in great turmoil.

“That is… Lord Orochi!” Myoken exclaimed in surprise. He recognized the creature’s true form, a high-ranking deity residing in the deeper part of the spirit world. It had fallen into demonic ways and committed evil for many years before regaining its senses and being suppressed in the depths of the spirit world.

Without a doubt, this is a top-tier fighter; if he were to cause trouble, only a handful of powerful figures would have a chance of winning.

Now that the spirit world is in trouble, it has been granted permission by Amaterasu to be released to deal with the disaster.

And now?

Myoken-sama made a horrifying discovery: it had fought its way out of the spirit world.

No, it was fought its way out.

It fought its way from the deepest depths to the most profound, and now it has returned to the present world, where it is in retreat.

Orochi is retreating!

"How is this possible!" Myoken-no-Mikoto could not accept this fact.

Yamata no Orochi was once a great demon, and Amaterasu also had a great headache dealing with it.

Demons are inherently difficult to kill, but fortunately, Orochi regained its senses.

However, if one were to revert to demonic ways and lose one's reason once more, it would be an absolutely catastrophic upheaval, because one would have no fear or dread in their bones and would only fight recklessly without regard for death.

Now that it has been forced into reality, how can it maintain its individuality? It has long since gone mad.

It exudes a violent power, and its battle with the enemy has actually broken down the barrier between the two realms.

Those terrifying fluctuations impacted the spirit world, directly causing a violent tremor in the space where Myoken-sama was located, resulting in this earth-shattering upheaval in the spirit world where he resided.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

Myoken was terrified.

For him, the war started too suddenly. The higher-ranking gods sensed something was wrong beforehand, but he was actually unaware of it. It was only when those great gods suddenly sent a message ordering him to stay in the rear with the other gods and wait for news from the front.

Then, a great battle indeed broke out in the deeper part of the spirit world, which could be felt by all life in the spirit world, comparable to the ancient war of gods.

However, these gods were not qualified to intervene, because as subordinate gods, they would be cannon fodder on the front lines in such an intense battle, and it would be troublesome to train them, which would be a loss for those great gods.

But he never expected that the battle at the front would spread to the rear, and then, without any pause, it would penetrate into the surface of the spirit realm from the rear.

The surface of the spirit world is not suitable for powerful deities to exist!

Who exactly is Yamata no Orochi fighting?!

Why come to this land of desolation!

Jianzi noticed that the dark cloud was expanding rapidly. After she discovered it, it covered this place from the sea at an extremely fast speed. Now, it is estimated that the entire Chiba area is covered.

And its tail, as large as a mountain, also appears here.

The entire sky is a battlefield.

A wild, beast-like roar came from the sky, a roar that contained pain, anger, and despair!

"Yamata no Mikoto has revealed its true form! Its entire true form has reached the surface world!" Myoken-no-Mikoto exclaimed in horror.

It's over, their true forms have all reached the surface!

The Yamata no Orochi is beyond saving; it can never go back unless a barrier can be found that can contain its body.

Jianzi's mind went blank; she couldn't remember anything.

She stood between heaven and earth, looking up at the dark sky, with roars echoing in her ears, and her thick, mountain-like tail sweeping across the sky like a chaotic dance of demons.

Then, a large amount of rainwater fell down, along with strong wind pressure, slapping hard against her face.

Seeing that Zi quickly regained her senses from the cold, she suddenly understood.

This is no longer just a battle in the spirit world, because it's starting to affect reality!

It suddenly started raining heavily—this is an unusual phenomenon!

But what can she do?

She stared blankly, witnessing a battle of gods she had never seen before in her life.

About a minute later, accompanied by several desperate cries, Miko saw dozens of thick bodies falling from the clouds.

Orochi was defeated.

The corpses had just reached mid-air when they suddenly transformed into a shower of light, which fell into the city with the wind.

Myoken-no-Mikoto knew that this was the Yamata no Orochi's divine body collapsing, and all its power returning to this land.

He was filled with despair.

The battle is over!

Jianzi suddenly felt immense pressure, making her soul tremble, but a cool sensation returned to her mind, bringing her back to normal.

She bit her lip, feeling a soreness in her neck, but she still wanted to see the source of her stress.

From within the black clouds emerged eight enormous snake heads, each larger than a hundred-story building.

Soon, its full appearance was revealed.

Eight heads and eight tails were coiled in the sky, like a majestic mountain range floating in the air.

But wasn't Yamata no Orochi dead?

Not only Miko, but even Myoken-no-Miko was stunned.

And it seemed to have also noticed the little human girl on the ground staring at it.

The eight snake heads simultaneously smirked eerily, then one of them poked out, as if biting into dessert, intending to swallow Jianzi and the park whole.

At that moment, Tendou Kagura finally looked up and glanced at it.

Those were a pair of scarlet eyes, radiating an unparalleled killing intent, enough to crush anyone's soul.

That one glance froze it, made it tremble, and then the massive, majestic body of the Yamata no Orochi rapidly disintegrated, turning into a phantom and disappearing without uttering a single scream.
