My personal opinion on Gensokyo

"That ball isn't even worthy of being compared to the Soul Green Lotus," Shana snorted upon hearing this, deliberately using a tone that she perceived as disdainful but sounded displeased and aggrieved. "When I struck that ball, I touched upon its cause and effect, and I understood what it was."

Hearing this, Jue picked up the handkerchief that he had just used to wipe the blood from the corner of Shana's lips, and casually wiped off the dark red blood that had already solidified and seeped out of the wound on the right side of his cheek, while asking curiously.

"What is that moon-white ball?"

Noticing Jue's movements, Shana also cast her gaze towards Jue's profile. At this time, the wound on the right side of Jue's cheek had disappeared, with no signs of injury, and it was as good as new.

Shana breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Jue's wound had completely disappeared. At this moment, she heard Jue's curious question and began to explain softly.

"That's a 'symbol'."

"It was a prop that symbolized the entire moon. The causal line of the moon itself and the causal line of the white sphere on the moon were tightly intertwined, indistinguishable from each other.

"That must be the 'sacred tool' Tsukiyomi crafted to facilitate the use of her power as the Moon Goddess. The essence of the moon can also be manifested on that sphere."

"...In other words, Shang Yang was not only injured by the power of 'Ashihara Takaten' just now."

After hearing Shana's words, Jue was slightly stunned and a little surprised.

"And he was hit by the entire mass of the moon, right..."

"Uh……"

Inspired by Jue's idea, Shana was slightly stunned, and then answered speechlessly.

"...At the very least, it was directly hit by part of the moon's mass."

Jue and Shana looked at each other, sighed at the same time, and praised in unison.

“…That guy is really lucky.”

Just as Jue and Shana were lamenting Shang Yang's fate, suddenly, the divine power of the "sun" and "sky", and the divine power of the "moon" and "night" simultaneously covered the dusty area.

Feeling these two forces, Jue and Shana's expressions suddenly changed at the same time.

The masters of these two forces, the Sun Goddess and the Moon Goddess, did not give Jue and Shana even a moment to react.

The overlap between the objective world and the concept of "Ashihara Takaten" deepened. The real objective world became increasingly faint, while the concept of "Ashihara Takaten" suddenly became stronger. The atmosphere of gentleness and light filled the space, as if the space itself was warm and bright.

It seems that this place has really turned into Takama-ga-hara, where the gods live in Japanese mythology.

Immediately afterwards, the strange environment filled with dust, which was originally maintained by Jue with the power of the two yin and yang of Shangyang, became extremely unstable due to the interference of the essential concept of "Ashihara Takaten", and it was about to lose the power to maintain the current situation.

Within the blink of an eye, the strange environment filled with dust and difficult to explore, which was fixed in this area by Jue using the power of yin and yang, was expelled by "Ashihara Takaten".

Looking at the similar figure not far away in the gradually dispersing ashes and dust, and listening to the violent explosions that came from time to time when Shang Yang and Suzhan Mingzun were fighting in front of the Moonlit Palace in the distance, Jue raised his slender white hand, brushed away the light purple hair that was slightly blocking his vision, and stood up. The green lotus that enveloped Jue and Shana's soul also gradually disappeared as Jue stood up.

"...It's not that easy to buy time."

Ba Si breathed a sigh of relief, leaned over to help Shana up, and gently advised her.

"Shana, if your injury hasn't healed yet, don't force it."

Volume 3: Above the Moon Sea: Chapter 141: Fighting

"hiss……"

Shana was about to speak, but when she stood up, she slightly pulled the remaining injury. The pain of the wound made Shana gasp.

"Don't worry, Jue, my injuries will heal soon. Give me two more seconds."

As Shana finished her words, the crimson lotus flames ignited again on her wounds, which had almost healed. As the crimson lotus flames burned, the remaining wounds that were still bleeding healed at a speed visible to the naked eye and disappeared...

"Listen to me, Shana."

Seeing that the wound on Shana's chest had disappeared and healed, Jue slowly let go of the hand that was holding Shana, and leaned close to Shana's ear and whispered.

"There are two options now."

"First: The two of us relied on the defense of the Soul Blue Lotus to easily avoid the attacks of Amaterasu and Tsukiyomi. However, there's no guarantee that they wouldn't take advantage of the time difference we took to attack Shangyang, who was currently fighting Susanoo."

"Second: Each of us will be responsible for holding one back, buying time for Shang Yang. However, if we do this, both of us will inevitably be injured."

"Shana, which one do you choose?"

“…Needless to say.”

Hearing this, Shana gently pursed her cherry lips, tilted her face slightly, and her fiery eyes slowly met Jue's calm lavender eyes.

Then, the two girls spoke in unison with a relaxed tone.

"Second one!" ×2

……

On the other side, the Moon Capital Shrine.

"puff!"

The sound of metal scratching skin.

It was obvious that the blade of the Liangyi Sword did not touch Suzhan Mingzun's body at all, but a deep tear of 30 centimeters in length suddenly appeared on Suzhan Mingzun's chest, and a large amount of dark red blood continued to flow out of the terrible wound.

Shang Yang, who was standing dozens of meters away, looked expressionlessly at the terrible tear that suddenly appeared on Suzhan Mingzun's chest and felt very sorry.

"The Hero God's own divine power actually interfered with the Yin-Yang Sword's separation of Yin and Yang. Unfortunately, I had hoped to use this single strike to directly cleave this violent and chaotic Hero God in two, transcending the realm of 'this world's principles.'"

Not to mention the regret in Shang Yang's heart, he also stared at the hideous wound that suddenly appeared on his chest in a daze, feeling the real pain. The violent and chaotic hero god's laughter was almost insane.

"Hahaha! Very good!"

Under the stimulation of pain, the violent nature of Suzan Mingzun's divinity has dominated most of the thoughts of the hero god.

The middle-aged hero looked up, gazing at the gray-haired young man, the master of Mount Yoshino, standing dozens of meters away. Within his eyes, the calmness of the earth and the fury of a storm wrestled with each other.

"To hurt someone from a distance is really too weird."

Having said this, the huge heroic god seemed to find it troublesome, shook his head, laughed wildly, raised the sword of Ama Murakami, and stepped forward. The sword of Ama Murakami carried a tremendous force and chopped down at the young man with gray hair with extreme ferocity.

"Well, this isn't a big deal. Monster Lord, take this blow!"

Bah!

The two swords collided. This time, Shang Yang did not dodge. He took a step forward and used the pure white jade sword wrapped in black and white energy to take Suzhan Mingzun's attack head-on. The yin-yang balance of all things spun violently, changing the direction of nearly half of Suzhan Mingzun's force, forcing Suzhan Mingzun to take a step back.

Before Suzhan Mingzun could steady himself, Shang Yang flipped his wrist and wrapped around the Yin-Yang sword. The black and white "Yin-Yang Qi" suddenly rushed forward. The black and white Qi intertwined with each other, forming a huge spiral air mass, which slammed heavily on Suzhan Mingzun's chest.

The huge impact caused a dent in Suzhan Mingzun's chest.

Bang! ! !

Hit in the chest by the black and white spiral air mass, accompanied by a slight cracking sound, the rioting hero god felt a tightness in his chest and "puff" a mouthful of dark red blood spurted out.

"Cough cough!"

He coughed suddenly to force out the blood clots in his chest. After spitting out two mouthfuls of black and red blood, the Hero God raised his head. The madness in his eyes, like a storm, had been put away by him. Even though he was seriously injured, Susanoo laughed and spoke.

"Ha, Lord of the Monsters, you are finally willing to fight me head-on. That's right. In battle, one should use real strength to defeat the enemy head-on, rather than using elusive techniques to defeat the enemy."

"That's why I always insist on using real strength in combat."

He straightened up and casually waved the Ame-no-Kurokumo sword in his hand. The huge Hero God of Riot still made a bold declaration as a Hero God.

“In battle, the enemy must be defeated not only by the difference in strength but also by the victor’s strong will.”

"The victor's powerful will..."

Hearing the words of the heroic god who remained full of passion despite being injured, the young man with gray hair, the owner of Mount Yoshino, was not moved. He shrugged his shoulders and spoke lightly.

"However, the mythological records do not align with the beliefs of the Hero God."

Unlike the heroic gods who descended upon the objective world today, in mythology, there are many mythological legends that integrate a lot of heroic gods who are violent, chaotic, and extremely brave. However, in the records of the human world on earth, they are gods who use tricks to kill their enemies.

In other words, the mythological god summoned by Yue Yejian was not shaped entirely according to the concept of mythology.

While thinking this, Shang Yang dodged the sword tip of the Murasakibara Sword sideways, took advantage of the momentum to extend the sword tip, and slashed across the sword body of the Murasakibara Sword. The extremely powerful power of yin and yang once again shattered the Murasakibara Sword shaped by the concept.

Shang Yang shattered the sword of Ama-no-Murakumo again, and at the same time he instantly stepped back several steps, raised the tip of the sword, and threw it out again after separating the two yin and yang.

As the distance was so close, Suzan no longer had the ability to dodge sideways, so he once again used the concept as a basis, and "infused" the material with spiritual power to form it, instantly creating another Ama-no-Murakumo sword, which he slashed at the incoming Yin-Yang Slash with incomparable ferocity.

Bah!

The invisible slash collided with the sword of Ama-Kume, which was infused with the divine power of Susanoo, making a huge collision sound. Even though it was blocked by the sword of Ama-Kume, the invisible slash formed by the separation of the two yin and yang did not disappear, but instead began to stalemate with Susanoo.

"Well, not bad!"

Seeing that one slash could hold its own against him, Suzhan Mingzun couldn't help but praise, and then he exerted force suddenly.

The slashing blow formed by the power of the two yin and yang could not withstand the explosive growth of power, and was directly shaken away by Suzhan Mingzun and disappeared into thin air.

The separation of Shang Yang's yin and yang was shattered, and the warrior's keen intuition made Suzan laugh wildly, and he swung the Ame no Murakumo sword suddenly to the left in front of him.

"Lord of the Monsters! You underestimate the intuition of the God of Heroes!"

puff!

The sound of blood splattering.

With the sound of metal cutting flesh and blood, Shang Yang's right arm, along with the Liangyi Sword held in his right hand, flew into the air.

Volume 3: Above the Moon Sea: Chapter 142: The Fall of the Heroic God

Seeing this scene, Suzhan Mingzun laughed wildly and was about to turn around and launch a violent attack to completely kill Shang Yang who had already lost an arm.

Sudden changes occur.

puff!

The piercing sound of flesh and blood being pierced by something.

In an instant, Suzhan Mingzun's smile froze, and the huge, ferocious and chaotic heroic god lowered his head in a daze.

As far as the eye could see, there was only a light white sleeve stained with dark red blood, which had already passed through the center of the hero god's chest.

Raising his head slightly, the ferocious and chaotic hero god saw the young man with gray and messy hair, whose right arm was cut off by his own sword Ama Murakumo, and the broken part stained most of his shirt red, but who had pierced his chest with his left hand. He was still expressionless, a great monster on earth.

"I remember the first time I took someone's life, I used a similar method to this time."

The young man, who only had one arm left, spoke slowly with an expressionless face, not caring at all about the large amount of dark red blood oozing out from the broken right arm and quickly soaking his clothes.

"Your Excellency the Hero God, you seem to have forgotten that using your body to kill people with your bare hands is the specialty of the monsters."

Hearing Shang Yang's words, Suzhan Mingzun smiled heartily again.

"...Indeed, I had forgotten that most monsters have extremely strong bodies and are not afraid of damage. Most monsters are good at using their bodies for close combat."

"However, what I don't understand is that, Monster Lord, in order to kill me, you would rather sacrifice an arm, but you don't care that losing an arm will greatly reduce your future strength. This doesn't seem worth it."

"Nothing is worth it."

Hearing this, the gray-haired young man who had lost an arm shrugged and gestured to Suzhan Mingzun to look at another battlefield in the distance.

"Look over there."

Hearing this, the severely injured and confused ferocious hero god reluctantly turned his head and looked over there.

In the distance, on another battlefield, the two 'sisters' of the ferocious hero god were fighting with the two girls who had been beside Shang Yang.

It was obvious that the Hero God's 'sisters' had a huge advantage. Almost every attack made the two girls exhausted from dodging and even got injured.

However, even so, the two girls still launched an extremely dangerous attack, desperately entangling the extremely powerful Sun Goddess and Moon Goddess, making it difficult for the two goddesses to support the battlefield here.

Seeing the same scene as Susanoo, the young man with gray and white hair, the owner of Mount Yoshino, the lord of the monsters on earth, Shang Yang, spoke in a calm tone.

“That’s my life, everything it’s about.”

"Originally, the two of them could have easily relied on the Noble Phantasms I gave them to block the attacks of His Excellency the God of Heroes' two 'sisters', leaving the greater pressure on me."

"In fact, I also hope that they will do so. After all, as men, it is natural for them to bear greater pressure."

"But, as His Excellency the God of Heroes saw, even at this disadvantage, they still chose to engage in dangerous and daring battles, rarely using the Noble Phantasms I gave them. This was to delay His Excellency the God of Heroes' two 'sisters', making it difficult for them to exploit the time difference and interfere with the battle between His Excellency the God of Heroes and me."

"Having known each other for hundreds of years, I understand their intentions. They trust me and will surely kill the Hero God swiftly. Then, they will join me in beating up the Hero God's two 'sisters'."

"So, I can't let them down."

"They are the treasures I will protect forever."

"It's also my life, all its meaning."

"It's just losing an arm, it's nothing."

"Return to mythology in peace, the heroic god of violence and chaos."
