The Warrior of Love

However, she did not like the environment of the underworld, so she returned to the human world in search of the Gorgon Stone, and many years have passed.

Since that "Mr. Yu" is hiding in the Netherworld, he is most likely not a normal human being, but an ancestor of these demonic families, or even a god!

"Will you lead the way?"

"Ena is just a mortal, not qualified to go with you, but Ena will open the way to the netherworld for you!"

After saying that, the black-haired girl stood up, and her slender figure cast a graceful shadow in the sunlight.

At the same time, she untied the black package on her back, removed the black cloth and revealed the weapon inside.

As expected, it was a magical weapon that did not belong to the mortal world and was pitch black in color.

hum!

A hidden cursed force emanated from the black sword, unknowingly affecting reality. A fist-sized circle opened up in Ena's shadow, which soon expanded into a hole big enough for anyone to jump into without any pressure.

Jiang Liu glanced at Liliana and said, "It's very uncomfortable for mortals to stay there, so you should stay."

"Okay!" The fairy girl nodded vigorously.

Then there was Athena—

"Keep an eye on Guinevere and the Gunspear."

"Don't worry."

The silver-haired goddess nodded indifferently, and instead warned him: "This is your first time in the Netherworld, so be careful."

"Are you worried about me?"

Jiang Liu couldn't help but smile: "Don't worry, I'll be fine."

"I'm not worried about you, it's just that if something happens to you, you won't be able to defeat the Last King."

Athena snorted, and Jiang Liu followed suit and stopped asking questions. He just shook his head and smiled, then walked towards Ena step by step. He only took a quick look before stepping into the circle without any hesitation...

Chapter 737: Susanoo

Slowly opening his eyes, Jiang Liu saw lush green forests and the fresh, natural scent of earth, which made him feel happy.

However, such scenery made Jiang Liu frown. Although it looked like an ordinary mountain forest, he could feel a rather strange atmosphere filling the entire world. The vegetation seemed to be full of vitality, but in fact it carried an aura of decay that could not be concealed.

Indeed, this place is completely different from the real world, but it is not the immortal realm in mythology. In this way, this place must be the "ghost world" mentioned by Seiakiin Ena.

"Susu..."

A trace of coldness hit Jiang Liu's body. It started drizzling in the sky at some point, but there was not a single cloud in sight. Under the clear sunshine, the raindrops reflected a rainbow on the horizon, which looked very strange.

"Rumble..."

The drizzle soon turned into heavy rain, the howling wind was mixed with thunder in the distance, and the sky finally became gloomy.

But Jiang Liu knew that this was by no means a normal phenomenon. There must be some existence that was invisibly affecting the weather, just like when the God of Disobedience appeared, it would bring disaster to the earth.

"It's really rude to treat a guest like this. You invited me here, so you should at least go out to greet me."

Jiang Liu's eyes focused, and the domineering aura that he hadn't used for a long time swept across the four directions, instantly clearing away the heavy rain, and even the dark clouds in the sky were blown away.

“Hahaha, what a powerful king’s pressure, he is worthy of being the famous Demon King!”

A rough voice sounded in this strange space. Jiang Liu looked over and saw a simple wooden house that had appeared on the bank of a winding river in the mountains and forests. The roof was even covered with thatch. An ancient and vast atmosphere immediately filled his face.

Jiang Liu had observed the surroundings before and was sure that there had been no buildings there originally, but now the thatched cottage seemed to have been there naturally from the beginning.

I didn't feel any fluctuations in cursed energy... Does that mean it has nothing to do with things like barriers?

"The netherworld... the boundary between illusion and reality is quite vague, and the spatial position can be changed with just the thought." Jiang Liu thought about it for a moment and then suddenly realized, "Is this the rule of the world where the spirit is superior to the material? I see, it is really an interesting world."

In a sense, this place is very similar to a "dream", a special realm where one can directly use the mind to interfere with the structure of space without the need for rituals or spell power.

After figuring this out, Jiang Liu smiled carefreely, and without responding to Mr. Yu's pretentious remarks, he walked straight towards the thatched cottage.

This is an ancient Japanese-style house, and judging from the style, its history is quite long. Perhaps due to neglect, it appears to be in shabby condition and seems to be on the verge of collapse.

Jiang Liu opened the wooden door carefully, fearing that he would accidentally tear it down and be blackmailed by the old man.

Looking into the room, he saw a burly figure sitting cross-legged next to an old Japanese kotatsu table, holding a wine glass and looking at him with interest.

- Om!

The moment he saw the other person, countless pieces of information flooded into Jiang Liu's mind in various forms, including not only text but also pictures like ancient scrolls, and even scenes that actually happened...

"Well!"

The huge amount of information even made Jiang Liu frown slightly. At the same time, a certain power within the "Universal Codex" responded to this.

It was on the pages of "Guardian of Light" that a golden sword shone brightly in the hands of a brave warrior.

Although it is not yet at the stage where he can directly activate the Word Spirit, he can still trigger the golden sword that can cut off the godhead.

"This is……"

After being surprised for a moment, Jiang Liu quickly reacted.

"Is this also a characteristic of the underworld?"

"Yes."

The old man explained with a smile: "Because this is the underworld, it is different from the real world you live in. This is a place that records all the things that have happened since the beginning of the world.

The so-called "gap between life and immortality" is precisely because it belongs neither to the human world nor to the divine realm, but is in an ambiguous realm, so it can preserve the "memories" of both worlds at the same time.

As long as you have enough "vision" and "wisdom", you can freely access the knowledge contained in it.

For those Onmyoji who are doing research in the world, this place can be said to be heaven, but most mortals cannot reach here. "

It sounds a bit like Type-Moon's "Root", which records everything in the universe... However, the "Root" is an existence that truly transcends everything.

It transcends the timeline and the world line, and even the five major magics flow from it. Even Jiang Liu today cannot fully understand the "source".

However, this underworld only records what happened in the "past" and what may happen in the "future". In essence, it is similar to the "clairvoyance" of Athena and Lily, and can see some things that are causally connected, but on a larger scale and in greater depth.

The reason why Jiang Liu acquired that knowledge was obvious: he was the one the old man referred to as "having enough vision".

Not to mention that the "Guardian of Light" has the ability to analyze the divine nature, Jiang Liu himself has unparalleled insight, enough to obtain the "void memory" recorded in this realm.

As for why there were no strange phenomena outside, but the "spiritual vision" was triggered when seeing this old man -

Because this old guy possesses godhood!

"Welcome, Rakshasa King from a foreign country. Sorry, I haven't had any guests in this little house for a long time. It may be a little messy. Please find a place to sit down."

Jiang Liu didn't say anything. He glanced around and didn't find any clean place, so he pouted and sat down directly opposite the old man, resting his elbows on the kotatsu table, crossing his palms against his nose, leaving only the upper half of his face exposed, and looking at the other person with a sense of oppression.

"How scary! Stop staring at me like that. I'm not a peerless beauty. Even if you look at me like that, it won't do any good."

The old man was not afraid. He poured out clear liquid from the wine jug and took out a quilt and pushed it in front of Jiang Liu.

"Let me make it clear first. Although I used to be a disobedient god, I have now "reformed". I am not here to fight with you this time."

"Then what's your purpose?"

Jiang Liu curled his lips: "Mr. Yu... No, Susanoo."

“I can see it!”

Susanoo, one of the three main gods of Japan, who is revered by the outside world as the "God of Disobedience", laughed.

"Storm, strategy, theft, steel, protection... Such a complex divinity, and in the Far East, plus your drunkard image, there is no one else but Susanoo."

Jiang Liu said confidently: "So, the sword carried by the Hitoshi Miko outside is the legendary Kusanagi sword... Ame Murakumo?"

"That's right! Since you already know my identity, it's convenient. I'll just speak directly to you.

This land is my hometown, and it is also the place I have protected for a thousand years. In order not to disrupt the peace here, can you please give up what you are doing now? Your Excellency God Slayer. "

Chapter 738: Steel of Fraud, Fighting with the God of War

"No."

Jiang Liu spoke in a relaxed tone, but his words were firm and resolute.

"I'm sorry, but I refuse."

Susanoo frowned and began to feel embarrassed.

He used to be a disobedient god who wreaked havoc on the earth. Because he had never been conquered by anyone, he wandered for a thousand years!

After such a long time, he gradually became disgusted with the endless fighting, and finally decided to give up the life of the disobedient god and live in seclusion in the underworld, which is the so-called "turning over a new leaf".

Now he no longer has the madness he had before. Besides, Japan is his hometown and the people living here are his descendants in a sense. From this perspective, he does not want to see Japan destroyed at all.

Yes, in Susanoo's eyes, what Jiang Liu is doing now is equivalent to destroying Japan!

"Don't you know?"

Susanoo said in a deep voice: "If that Prince wakes up, it will bring great disaster to this world!"

"Oh?"

Jiang Liu looked the old man up and down again.

The first impression Susanoo gave him was that he was "burly"!

Although he has the appearance of an old man, his physique is worthy of the title of Steel Hero. Under that simple kimono, there is a strong body.

His hair and beard are very thick, and because they are not well taken care of, they appear fluffy and messy, just like a lion.

No matter how you look at it, he is a god who is good at fighting. In fact, Jiang Liu did feel a similar atmosphere to Hercules, Bartras and others.

But such a martial god with a rough and unrestrained appearance actually cares so much about "world peace"... It's quite interesting. It's the first time that Jiang Liu has seen such a god.

"I know what you're worried about."

Jiang Liu had already received sufficient information from Athena and Guinevere.

The King of the End... As the Steel among Steel, he is a brave man who appears at the "end of the world" and is born to annihilate the Demon King and save the world.

However, this kind of "savior" deity will have a bad impact on the world after becoming a disobedient god.

Just as the god of war brings fighting and the god of plague brings disease, the savior of the apocalypse will naturally appear at the "end of the world".

Specifically, his existence itself is a continuous natural disaster to the world. If the task of defeating the demon king cannot be completed in time and he cannot fall asleep quickly, he will cause large-scale earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and other geological disasters.

If the time is long enough, it will even affect the whole world...which is the so-called "doomsday".

"That is indeed a terrible thing. I don't want the world to become like that. Please rest assured. However, if you are so nervous, does that mean you admit that the Last King is indeed sleeping in Japan?"

Susanoo was silent for a long time before he slowly shook his head: "This kind of thing can only be covered up and hidden. Maybe it can keep things safe for a while, but if we are really targeted, how can we keep it secret forever?"

Speaking of which, the reason why the sleeping place of the Last King could be hidden for so long is, firstly, related to the location he chose, which is indeed a "paradise", and secondly, it is related to Susanoo.

This Japanese God of War is famous for his slaying of the Yamata-no-Orochi, and is considered a typical Steel Hero. However, in addition to his Steel personality, he is also the god of games, trickery, and deception.

It was he who schemed and deceived a Chinese Steel Hero, causing him to be imprisoned in Japan, in order to eliminate the Dragon Snakes and all the existences that might stimulate the Last King.

It was also him who guided the growth of the magic families in the Far East, kept them outside of other magic circles, and kept an intelligence blockade on them.

All the myths and anecdotes related to the "Last King" that were circulated in this land were massively edited and changed.

Not to mention outsiders, even the big families in Japan don’t know the truth about the "Last King". They just follow Susanoo's orders.

It can be said that this God of War is the biggest behind-the-scenes manipulator.

—And yet he did not do these things out of malice.

On the contrary, from the Japanese perspective, we probably have to thank him!

After all, if the Last King is really awakened, even if he kills the Demon King immediately and goes back to sleep...it will definitely have a huge impact on Japan.

"You also know that you can't keep it secret forever, right?"

Jiang Liu laughed heartily: "Since you have wandered in the outside world as a disobedient god, you should know that some things are inevitable. Under the guidance of "fate", what is supposed to happen is bound to happen.

In this case, why wait until the unknown future? I have clues now, so I can find him and kill him. Isn't it time to solve the problem once and for all?"

After saying that, he paused, put away his smile, and looked into Susanoo's eyes very seriously.

"I'm not overconfident, but I feel that before and even in the future... there will never be seven godslayers alive at the same time, and there won't be a special case like me.

Isn't it the best option to awaken the Last King now?"

"It is precisely because there are seven God Slayers in this era that we cannot do this!"
