I'm having fun in Tokyo

She gently raised one hand, and nine fox tails swayed slowly behind her, golden divine light gathering in her hand.

The light appeared, instantly suppressing the divine halo behind the enormous figure.

Morikawa Yu turned to look at her, his gaze fixed on the enormous figure: "Big fox, do you know what this is?"

Mitsuko shook her head: "I don't know."

"This is the first time I've ever seen anything like this."

“I feel that He is somewhat like the Inari God or other deities, and possesses a faint divinity. If someone created Him, it would be meaningless. With His divinity, even if we ignore Him, He will gradually dissipate. Look at His body, my dear, can you see some dissolving light mist?”

"Divinity?" Morikawa Yu's gaze towards the giant figure suddenly became more interested.

Ever since he obtained the title "End of the Divine Era" and gained the passive ability to deal true damage to divinity, he has been eager to find some divine beings to fight and experience the thrill of every strike dealing true damage.

Unfortunately, the Age of Gods had long since ended, and all the ancient gods had perished and vanished. The Inari god he killed was the last god of the Age of Gods.

Besides the gods, there are also ghosts and spirits.

However, these ghosts and gods either lost their divinity or separated their power into divine power and demonic power, abandoning their status as ghosts and gods.

Now that he has finally found someone with divinity, even if it is only a very faint one, he has become very interested in him.

I really want to try out the knife.

After playing against Asaka, I haven't gained any experience points for a long time.

Mizuko was still examining the enormous figure, and said calmly, "Moreover, it only has divinity, not spirituality. To put it bluntly, it's like an 'idol' pieced together with divine power and divinity, having only the form but no personality."

"Considering that He still possesses considerable divine power, perhaps He could be called a divine puppet?"

Mitsuko offered her own assessment.

She participated in the hunt of gods by the demons of the Age of Gods before the Age of Gods ended. Later, she devoted herself to studying the gods and understood the nature of the gods' dissipation. If there is anyone in the world who understands the gods the most, it must be her.

“The Divine Puppet…” Morikawa Yu thought for a moment and nodded.

Whether or not this name is accurate, it is at least quite descriptive.

In reality, statues made by people based on ancient deities are called "divine idols".

This giant figure, with its halo of divine light, indistinct features, and blurred facial structure, possesses divinity and divine power, but lacks spirituality. It stands there like a statue, and indeed resembles a divine puppet.

Mitsuko raised her hand and unleashed her divine power: "Whoever left it here, destroy it first."

"Wait." Morikawa Yu suddenly grabbed Mitsuko's hand.

Mitsuko: "What's wrong?"

She looked at Morikawa Yu strangely, not understanding why Morikawa Yu had suddenly stopped her.

Morikawa Yu: "Leave it to me."

Mitsuko frowned: "My dear, you want to make a move?"

She subconsciously glanced at Otamaru standing next to her and Inaba Tenshi not far behind.

Because Ryoko took Morikawa Yu's medicine and turned into a little girl, it was inconvenient for her to appear in public. So Ryoko held a "funeral" for herself, handing over the position of the Tokyo Metropolitan Shrine Chief to Morikawa Yu, and also giving Morikawa Yu the powers that the Supreme Shrine Chief could enjoy.

Currently, Morikawa Yu is the official supreme deity of the Kanto region, and on the surface, he also possesses the status and divine power of the supreme deity.

Only she, Feiyue, Qianxiang, Xinjue, her family, and a very few others knew that Morikawa Yu did not possess the divine power of the Supreme God, but was merely a human being.

If Morikawa Yu makes a move, it is very likely that his true strength will be exposed, letting Inaba Tenshi and Ootamaru know that he does not have the divine power of the Supreme God.

Inaba Tenshi was alright; at least he was a child she knew well and listened to her. He was willing to do anything except ask her to be positive and hardworking. As long as she told him not to talk nonsense, he wouldn't say anything out of line.

But Daitamaru is different.

Ōtamaru is the shikigami of the shrine maiden, a demon that has guarded the Ise Grand Shrine for generations.

If she finds out that Morikawa Yu doesn't have the power of the Supreme God, she might tell Hime-no-Miko, allowing Hime-no-Miko to guess about Ryoko's situation.

After a human god attains the divine status, he embraces youth, but his lifespan remains unchanged.

Although the shrine maiden did not reach the end of her life like Ryoko, she did not have much life left. At most, she might pass away and disappear in five or six years.

If she found out that Morikawa Yu had a way to break the lifespan limit of human gods, she would definitely target Morikawa Yu.

Mitsuko looked into Morikawa Yu's eyes and conveyed her innermost thoughts to him.

Morikawa Yu shook his head and replied telepathically, "Big fox, even if I'm not a god, I'm still a sword saint. I'll just say I want to solve this with the way of the sword, won't that be enough?"

As a sword saint, his strength has reached a higher level, making him a top-tier expert in the hidden realm.

Even without the divine power of the Supreme God, he was still someone many people looked up to, just not as powerful as the Demon of the Age of Gods and the Supreme God, who stood at the hidden pinnacle.

Most importantly, Morikawa Yu saw the system's status assessment above the puppet's head.

Target Level: Sixteen, Status: Divinity Dissipation (Divinity lingers, weakness dissipates).

If an enemy has a level and a status, then it is an enemy recognized by the system as having power.

He can gain experience by fighting powerful enemies.

These experiences, accumulated together, are like muscle memory etched into one's bones, constantly building up until the day they finally burst forth, helping him become stronger.

Therefore, he made unstoppable progress, overcoming numerous obstacles and achieving one swordsmanship feat after another that humans could no longer accomplish in reality, and now he has become a sword saint.

Now that the idol is right in front of him, he can't let it go to waste.

Upon hearing this, Mitsuko looked at him with concern.

Seeing that Morikawa Yu was determined, she sighed inwardly and nodded: "Then go ahead, my dear. I'll keep an eye on things from behind. Just let me know if you need any help."

"Hmm." Morikawa Yu released Mitsuko's hand, picked up Tsurumaru with his other hand, and walked towards the puppet.

Daitamaru looked at him with a puzzled expression.

She thought that Morikawa Yu stopped Mitsuko because he wanted to destroy the puppet with his own divine power, but she didn't expect that Morikawa Yu would not use his divine power. Instead, he drew his sword towards the puppet.

She looked back and forth between the knife and the puppet in Morikawa Yu's hand, her eyes filled with curiosity.

Suddenly, she had a sudden realization.

"Morikawa, are you going to fight using kendo again?"

"Even though you've already inherited Princess Ryoko's legacy and become the Supreme God, you still insist on honing your swordsmanship and fighting with your swords. You used to get up early every day to practice your swordsmanship... tsk tsk."

"I think I understand why you were able to become a sword saint, while I couldn't even maintain my original level of swordsmanship."

"Although my demonic power is strong, it has slowed down my ability to draw my sword."

"Leave the enemy to me next time we encounter them."

"I will fight with swordsmanship too. I will return to the pinnacle of my swordsmanship, reach a higher level of swordsmanship, and then defeat that guy, Crow Feather, once again!"

Morikawa Yu glanced back at Daitamaru and found that Daitamaru looked very touched. There were even faint white characters for "Ittō-ryū" above his head, but the characters were a little faint and looked like they might disappear at any time.

But since it exists, it means that it has the potential to solidify and become a will or determination.

This guy, Daitamaru, actually felt something?

But if she relies solely on swordsmanship, she probably couldn't even beat Asaka, right? After all, she's been slacking off all the time, and she hasn't even mastered the ultimate form of the Ise Itto-ryu.

Raven Feather God Lord possesses the ultimate skill of the Munen-ryu style in swordsmanship alone, reaching a level above that of a sword master.

Morikawa Yu shook his head in his heart.

He looked up at the idol standing in the center of the island.

The statue was enveloped in divine light, but upon closer inspection, one could see a mist of light spreading out and gradually dissipating.

It remained silent while he was talking to Mitsuko and the others, and it is still silent now.

Morikawa Yu casually unleashed a gust of wind.

The air pressure and sharp wind blades created by the wind slashed towards the puppet's body.

As the wind swept past, the puppet's body trembled slightly, and a huge wound appeared on its body, making the overflowing light mist even more obvious.

The surrounding divine light suddenly brightened, converging towards the wound in an attempt to repair it. However, no matter how solidified the light became, it could not penetrate the wound and heal it.

Really useful.

Morikawa Yu's eyes lit up.

His "end of the divine era" passively took effect, hindering the divine power of the divine puppet to restore its body.

Otherwise, relying solely on the wind force, even if it could prevent it from repairing itself, the effect wouldn't be so obvious.

He unleashed another gust of wind, slashing at the puppet's body.

However, this time a pale golden barrier appeared around the puppet, blocking its wind force and preventing it from advancing any further.

Morikawa Yu frowned.

He looked at the puppet and noticed that its face was gradually becoming clearer, but it still had no facial features.

Not only that, it also moved, just like a divine puppet in a real-life festival that moves slowly according to a pre-set mechanism, turning its body towards him.

At the same time, a seemingly insignificant "gaze" was also fixed on Morikawa Yu.

It actually moved.

Morikawa Yu looked at the puppet and smiled.

That's what's interesting.

Otherwise, it's like trying to chop a wooden stake with a knife. Even if the system gives you experience, it won't give you much. What's the point of practicing and improving yourself then?

He took a step forward, slashing as he charged toward the idol.

At the same time, the puppet also began to move.

The halo of divine light behind Him slowly rotated, and the obscure characters gradually lit up, forming a dazzling radiance on His body.

He stretched out his hand and unleashed a beam of divine power, which surged and struck Morikawa Yu's body.

Morikawa Yu swung his sword upwards, gathering wind that surged instantly to form a thick, massive wind wall, blocking the incoming divine light. He then flashed forward, slashing through the barrier and passing by the puppet's side.

The puppet was enormous, standing over five meters tall, more than twice the height of Morikawa Yu.

Morikawa Yu swung his sword from the ground, but only managed to cut the outside of the puppet's thigh, leaving a huge, visible wound.

But the effect of this cut is not just as simple as the wound.

If it were just a normal wound, He could use His divine power to repair His body and recover quickly. However, Morikawa Yu's strike had the passive effect of "End of the Divine Era," which caused permanent damage to His divinity.

Unless He himself relinquishes His divinity, He cannot mend the wound.

But He cannot shed His divinity, and even if He could, His body would collapse and disintegrate automatically.

The puppet's "face" was facing Morikawa Yu, its "gaze" fixed on him, as if it were thinking.

However, He has no spirituality. On the surface, He is thinking, but in reality, He is simply responding according to the little divinity He has left.

Finally, He responded.

Around Him, one pale golden barrier after another formed, slowly rising and surrounding His body to form an impenetrable curtain of light.

Morikawa Yu turned around and charged at the puppet again.

He slashed at the curtain of light with Tsurumaru, but found that he had not broken through it.

As he cleaved through the outermost curtain barrier, countless barriers formed by divine light appeared behind him, one after another, blocking his advance.

Moreover, Morikawa Yu suddenly discovered that behind the curtain barrier, the wounds on the puppet's body and the cut on its thigh were slowly healing.

A light blue glow appeared on the puppet's wounds, gradually dissolving the wind force he had left on the puppet's body.

Besides the wind, the effects of the "true damage" left on the puppet's wounds are also fading away.

It disappeared very slowly, but it was indeed disappearing.

"Divine power!? That's my divine power!"

On the edge of the small island, Tenshi Inaba's eyes widened.

She had been watching the battle in the center of the island closely and had also seen the changes in the divine puppet, noticing the azure divine power emanating from the wounds on its body.

That was originally her medicinal fragrance power. Only her medicinal fragrance power could indiscriminately dissolve the power in her body that did not belong to her.

It had been secretly taken from her body by the priestess not long ago, but unexpectedly it reappeared before her eyes, and was being used by a divine puppet that only possessed divinity and divine power.
