The prophecy has been made, so her and Morikawa Yu's escape is a certainty. The only difference is the length of time and what they will encounter before leaving.

Morikawa Yu's rank is not low, so he wouldn't say that the prophecy failed or that something unfortunate happened.

Then we can just hope that good things will happen to her and Morikawa Yu.

Rabbit Girl yawned.

She finished yawning, rubbed her eyes, opened them wide, and looked at Morikawa Yu and Tsurumaru.

On the roadside, Morikawa Yu swung his sword to repel Tsurumaru's charging body, took a step forward, and slashed forward, forcing Tsurumaru to retreat.

Tsurumaru seemed quite happy, even after being repelled, she still had a smile on her face: "Hehe, after you became stronger, Master, I found that I've become quite stronger too~"

She casually swung her katana, Tsurumaru Kuninaga, and her body slowly floated up: "For example, Master, your wind power."

She swung her sword down, and a gust of wind instantly condensed into a wind blade, slashing towards Morikawa Yu's direction, creating a deafening roar.

Morikawa Yu shook his head: "Muda muda muda! Trying to use my wind power against me? Tsurumaru, you're too naive!"

He raised Mikazuki Munechika and drew a semicircle from top to bottom. The blade of Mikazuki gleamed slightly, forming a gleam along with the trajectory it traced.

The wind force unleashed by Tsurumaru began to dissipate before it even reached him, absorbed by the sword light and becoming part of the wind force in front of him. It then swept past Tsurumaru and disappeared into the riverbank dozens of meters behind her, cleaving through the river and creating a sky full of waves.

Tsurumaru: "Waaaaah...!"

"Master, please be careful."

"If you had accidentally hit me just now, your lovely, obedient, sensible, and capable beloved knife would have been missing one!"

Morikawa Yu: "Too long-winded."

"Even without you, there's still Mikazuki."

"Wow, Master, you actually said that? I'm so sad."

“I arrived before Mikazuki. Before you became a swordsman, I was the one who watched over you. Just because Mikazuki is gentler, do you prefer her, Master?”

"I'm so sad, I can't cheer me up." Tsurumaru pretended to cry: "Master, please promise me that you'll use me in battle as much as possible in the future, then I'll feel better."

Morikawa Yu rolled her eyes at her.

However, Tsurumaru's advantage as a beautiful white-haired swordswoman is evident here.

If a girl who isn't very attractive pretends to cry and acts coquettishly, it's usually called being pretentious. But if a pretty girl acts coquettishly, it's called being coquettish, which makes people feel happy and might even make them deliberately refuse to agree to her act coquettishly for a while longer.

Morikawa Yu would normally do the same.

But today is different; Tenshi Inaba is watching, which is not a good sign.

"Alright, the Empress is here, Tsurumaru, be serious."

Tsurumaru sighed, "Alright then."

"No, I think it's very interesting. Morikawa, you guys can continue."

The rabbit girl shook her head.

She did find it very interesting.

What she usually did most was lie on the rocks of White Rabbit Coast and sunbathe.

As the former ruler of Inaba, she owned many properties in the Inaba region. Although Mitsuko had previously taken away her power to govern Inaba, she did not take away those properties.

Ordinary people can only visit her Inaba Hakuto Shrine at most, and have no right to approach the Hakuto Coast.

Even if someone accidentally wanders in, they won't be able to see her, who possesses demonic power.

She was mostly alone, with at most a few priestesses keeping her company while she enjoyed the breeze.

Now that someone is suddenly keeping her company with a lot of noise, it reminds her of the time she spent with Asaka when she was still at Kyoto Taisha Shrine.

They were together like that back then.

Although they mostly slept together, they would sometimes fight like this, until later, she returned to Inaba and saw once again the place where her mother had died and vanished...

Inaba Tenshi shook his head, clearing his mind of distractions, and watched intently as Morikawa Yu and Tsurumaru clashed.

"Haha, Master, take this Starburst Stream Slash!" Suddenly, Tsurumaru swung his sword, creating a wave of energy around the blade that caused his kimono to flutter gently as he swung it forward.

Morikawa Yu: "What the hell?"

"Tsurumaru, how do you know this!?"

"Of course it was you who taught me, Master. When you were the captain of the school's kendo club, didn't you always teach the club members some strange moves?"

Morikawa Yu: "Why do you remember that kind of thing so clearly?!"

"Besides, all I taught them back then were the movements, just the movements. What are you slashing now?! Why does it look so real?!"

"Because it's so interesting! Master, you were so serious about what you said, so I wrote it all down." Tsurumaru brandished his sword.

"Besides, cutting out air currents is a very simple thing. You can do it easily, Master. You can even cut out a storm directly. It's just that the Starburst Air Current Slash you mentioned requires two swords, but I only have my own sword."

"Speaking of which, are these flashy sword techniques actually real? Has any swordsman ever used them before? I've never heard of them before~"

"Hmm... never mind! Whatever! Master, I'm coming!"

"Ola Ola Ola!"

"Wait a minute!" Morikawa Yu waved to Tsurumaru and put the sword aside.

Tsurumaru was somewhat puzzled, but he stopped what he was doing, paused the sword in his hand, dispersed the air currents, and then rushed into Morikawa Yu's arms.

She hugged Morikawa Yu's waist, tilted her head back, and looked at him with some confusion.

"Master, what's wrong?"

Morikawa Yu: "Someone's here, you should go back first."

Tsurumaru tilted his head: "Oh."

Her body transformed into light and returned to Tsurumaru Kuninaga.

The blade of Tsurumaru Kuninaga glowed, floated in mid-air, flew back into Morikawa Yu's hand, and the light faded.

Morikawa Yu turned her head to look westward along the riverside road.

He sensed something unusual in the wind, as if someone was approaching him, Tsurumaru, and Inaba Tenshi's location from the west along the dirt road by the river.

That's why he called out to Tsurumaru.

Chapter 529 I have more than seventy brothers like this.

A tall figure drifted slowly over from the west side of the riverside road.

It was said to drift slowly, but in reality, it drifted very fast, and in no time it was very close, almost reaching the riverbank.

Upon seeing his appearance, Morikawa Yu was taken aback.

It wasn't that the other person looked strange, but rather that the other person seemed too familiar, giving him a strong sense of déjà vu.

Soon, Morikawa Yu remembered where his sense of déjà vu came from.

Just before he entered this strange realm, he killed a divine puppet.

This guy looks no different from the divine puppet he just killed, except that this guy has two fewer divine halos than that divine puppet, and he's also a bit smaller, only about three meters tall.

But even at only three meters tall, he was still much taller than Morikawa Yu, and people had to look up to see him.

Moreover, He was floating in the air, about a meter above the ground, with His feet not touching the ground.

Just now, Morikawa Yu absorbed the wind force released by Tsurumaru's slash and created a wave of energy that broke through the riverbank, creating waves and causing a lot of river water to overflow. The water flowed over the dirt road by the river without touching his feet at all.

With his height plus the distance from the ground, this guy looks nearly four meters tall, which is quite impressive.

Are they enemies?

Another puppet?

Morikawa Yu frowned as he looked at the newly appeared tall figure, unsure of where it came from.

Soon, Morikawa Yu noticed the difference between the two.

Although the puppet he just killed resembled a god, it possessed only divine power and a little divinity, having only the form but no status, giving it an obviously fake feel.

The guy in front of me was smaller than the puppet, and he had two fewer halo rings behind him, only one. But he exuded a powerful aura of majesty.

Although it has no face or features, and you can only see the outline of its hair and face, if you look closely, you can see that it is somewhat like a human, but not quite the same as a human. If it were more like a human, it would be terrifying; if it were less like a human, it would be hazy, which gives people a sense of mystery and majesty.

Moreover, He appeared more ethereal than that idol, and did not seem devoid of spirit or wisdom.

Is this guy a real god?

Morikawa Yu frowned.

He never expected that after entering this near-realistic historical remnant, he would actually encounter a real god.

Although the deity before him only possessed a single halo of divine light and appeared to be the weakest of the weak, the very existence of a deity made him wonder which era he had returned to.

"Are you human?"

Suddenly, He spoke, looking down at Morikawa Yu and Inaba Tenshi who were walking from the other side.

Tenshi Inaba stared at him without showing any emotion.

When she was still a true ghost, she possessed three divine halos.

Now that she no longer holds the status of a ghost or god, and has relinquished that position, her strength remains intact. In fact, with the daily accumulation of divine power, she has become even stronger. Even if He is a god, He is merely a weaker being than her.

She was just a little puzzled as to why she could see such a deity appear.

Before Morikawa Yu, a figure resembling a god looked at Inaba Tenshi.

He hesitated for a moment.

"Or...a monster?"

"Why are you here?"

Morikawa Yu frowned, looked at Him, and gripped the hilts of Tsurumaru and Mikazuki.

He had just sheathed Mikazuki, but Tsurumaru was still in his hand, gleaming faintly.

The giant god noticed Morikawa Yu's wariness and immediately shook his head: "Please don't be so wary, I mean no harm."

"I just happened to see you when I was passing by and wanted to give you a heads-up."

“This is the territory of one of my brothers. His favorite thing is to seize passersby and make them laborers and slaves. You should leave quickly.”

Morikawa Yu frowned even more deeply.

Territory? Brothers?

Passersby? Or forced laborers and slaves?

He recalled the scene he had seen while looking back over the river, which seemed to include people dressed in tattered clothes, with haggard and emaciated faces, who looked like slaves hurrying by.

However, he only traveled back a little time and did not look further into the past, so he did not know whether what the god-giant said was true.

However, he did glean some things to be aware of from the words of this divine giant.

That is, He has a brother, and in this age where gods still exist, there seems to be a habit of treating humans as slaves and laborers.

After thinking for a moment, Morikawa Yu said, "We're lost."

"Excuse me, where is this place?"

The giant god said, “Lost? Are you travelers from afar? No wonder your clothes look so strange, and you don’t look human. This is my and my brothers’ land, and this area is my brother’s territory. He has a bad temper, so you should leave quickly.”

Morikawa Yu: "I know this is your brother's territory. What I want to ask is the name of this area, and what's the name of this neighborhood?"

"The name of the place..." The giant god was somewhat bewildered: "We don't have a name here yet. It's just the land of me and my brothers. Further to the east, however, there is a name, called Inaba Country."

A place that doesn't even have a name...

It seems this era goes back further, at least past the Asuka and Nara periods.

Morikawa Yu thought for a moment, then looked at the god-giant.

Inaba Tenshi tugged at the corner of his robe.

"what are you guys saying?"

Morikawa Yu paused for a moment, looked at the rabbit girl, and suddenly realized that the rabbit girl probably couldn't understand what the other person was saying.

This is a historical scene where his power is manifested.
