How can this be?

He was the master of power, and no matter how real this fragment of history may be, it still comes from his power.

The current Susanoo is merely a remnant of the historical Susanoo, how could it possibly possess the power to break free from his authority?

Morikawa Yu actually had another question in her mind.

He didn't understand why Susanoo would help these gods and giants kill him.

Although these guys said that Susanoo was unhappy with him killing the Great God and the Great God of Mind, Susanoo himself didn't value the gods of the future, especially since these gods were the "Eighty Gods," those useless and evil deities.

But Susanoo is now coming to question him and the Great God because these gods and giants have betrayed him.

Halfway through the battle, he suddenly stopped and wanted to adopt him as his son, which was not like the character of Susanoo-no-Mikoto in history.

Something is wrong, so wrong.

After a moment of contemplation, Morikawa Yu used his power again.

The ability has been activated again!

This time, Morikawa Yu directly froze time within the scene.

Everything in the space fell silent instantly. The sea breeze around him, the tide not far away, and the surging waves below all froze at the moment he activated his power.

Time stood still, and Susanoo's figure slowly stiffened.

Morikawa Yu could sense a force resisting the freezing of time emanating from Susanoo, yet He was still trapped in a strange state of stagnation under the influence of His power.

Behind Him, the nine divine halos shone continuously, emanating a power that resisted the freezing of time.

Suddenly, Susanoo moved.

Not only that, His appearance changed. The mist on His face became calm, and the radiance on His body gradually faded, turning into the color of white jade. His divine robes also gradually changed into white jade-colored fabric.

Behind Him, one divine halo after another still shone brightly.

However, the light of these divine halo halos also changed. It was no longer the original crimson gold light, but had turned into a white jade color, which gave him a vague sense of familiarity.

Morikawa Yu pondered for a moment, then suddenly remembered where this feeling of familiarity came from.

When he received the priestess's reminder and went to Uki Island with the rabbit girl and the others, he and Daitamaru saw a divine puppet.

The white jade "Su Zhan Ming Zun" in front of us looks very similar to that deity statue.

Although the statue was only a little over five meters tall with three divine halo rings, while the white jade "Su Zhan Ming Zun" was over a hundred feet tall with nine divine halo rings and vast divine power, their temperaments were very similar, as if they were creations sculpted by the same person using the same white jade divine power.

Suddenly, Susanoo moved again.

At the same time, the halo of divine wheel behind Him, which had turned white jade, became incredibly bright, and the power that had frozen time in the surrounding space dissipated, and time began to flow again.

The sea breeze swept across the surface of the sea, and the tides continued to surge, with the waves crashing and surging.

At this point, Susanoo was completely unrecognizable as it originally was.

Apart from the Heavenly Feather Blade in His hand and the enormous longbow on His back, His appearance was completely different from before. He no longer resembled "Susanoo-no-Mikoto" and looked like a pure white jade-colored divine puppet.

Morikawa Yu's heart trembled.

Sure enough there is a problem.

This Suzumaki-no-Mingzun is not a true remnant of Suzumaki-no-Mingzun, but a white jade divine puppet.

Someone must have been pulling strings behind the scenes just now, helping Him to break the time freeze.

Morikawa Yu activated the system's level status assessment, staring intently at "Susanoo-no-Mikoto," which had transformed into a white jade-colored divine puppet.

Above His head, white words gradually appeared—Level: 18, Status: "Manipulation", "Shadow of Authority".

It is of a very high grade, but it is still not as good as the real Susanoo.

Although the chief god among the gods is no match for the great demons and human gods, he is still beyond the level assessment. Although the current god puppet is powerful, it is obviously an imposter.

Moreover, looking at this enormous divine puppet, Morikawa Yu felt that many things made sense.

Two days ago, he and Hisui and the others came to find Inaba Tenshi, only to discover that the current shrine maiden, Hanamiyuki, had taken away Inaba Tenshi's medicinal power a few days earlier.

When he and Hiizuki and the others were about to go to find the priestess, the priestess Hime reminded them to be careful of Kijima Island.

Then, sure enough, there was a strange idol on Yuqi Island.

This idol still retains a faint trace of divinity, as well as the medicinal power of the medicine that was taken away by Hanamiyuki from Inaba Tenshi.

Then he killed the idol.

When he examined the mark that produced the idol, he used his power to rewind time.

Immediately afterwards, his powers malfunctioned, and he and the rabbit girl ended up in this incredibly realistic historical remnant, where they encountered the Great God.

Now, seeing this enormous white jade statue in the shape of "Susanoo-no-Mikoto," Morikawa Yu felt that all these things were connected.

Someone must have deliberately led him into this real historical remnant, and even used a puppet to impersonate Susanoo to fight him, but we don't know what their purpose was.

Thinking about this, Morikawa Yu couldn't help but begin to doubt the shrine maiden.

It was the shrine maiden who reminded him and Hiizuki to be careful of Uki Island, and then Otamaru assured him that there would be a great harvest, so he and Hiizuki went to Uki Island.

Then, he and the rabbit girl entered this real historical remnant.

But Morikawa Yu immediately realized something.

Even if the priestess hadn't reminded him and the others, they would probably have discovered the divine puppet and the mark that formed it.

Because the place where the divine puppet is located is Yuqi Island.

Uki Island is where Rabbit Girl's mother met and was saved by the Great God.

Rabbit Girl sometimes goes there to see the sea.

Although the rabbit girl didn't go when they arrived, but instead sunbathed and took a nap on the rocks on the coast, she would always go over to look at the sea and then discover this idol.

Once the rabbit girl discovers the divine puppet and the mark, and finds the medicinal fragrance and divine power that was taken from her, she will definitely call him and Mitsuko over to see.

Therefore, even if the priestess did not remind him, he and Tenshi Inaba would have discovered the statue.

Feiyue gave him the power again. He was used to using the power to rewind to the past and see what had happened. So he was bound to fall for it and in the end, he would be the one to enter this historical remnant.

The only difference is whether the rabbit girl will come in with them.

I just don't know what their purpose was in setting up this scheme to lure him here.

As for that priestess, even if she wasn't involved in this matter, she is still quite suspicious.

Once we get back, let's tie up Otamaru first.

Ask her what her mistress, the priestess, said to her when she sent her.

If he accidentally wrongly accused her and the priestess, then he would apologize to her properly; otherwise, he would have no choice but to lock her in the Goshuincho to prevent her from doing anything further.

However, Morikawa Yu felt that Otamaru was not a strong suspect.

Ootamaru isn't very cunning. If he were to send someone as a mole, he definitely wouldn't send Ootamaru.

Right now, the white jade puppet in front of us is more important.

Morikawa Yu stared at the white jade divine puppet "Susanoo," gazing at its enormous divine body and cloud-like face from afar.

Although He was not the real Susanoo, but merely in disguise, His divine power was undeniably strong, possessing nine divine halo rings.

Besides, He is different from that weak idol on Yuqi Island.

That puppet didn't know how to attack proactively, only how to defend passively, and was easily dealt with by him.

This divine puppet not only possessed immense divine power and a massive divine body, but it could also move freely and even disguise itself as "Susanoo-no-Mikoto," almost making him believe that he had encountered the real Susanoo-no-Mikoto.

Suddenly, Morikawa Yu remembered that there was a "manipulation" option in the status assessment of the White Jade Puppet.

Could it be that someone is controlling the entire white jade puppet, which is why He can move freely and even disguise Himself as Susanoo to fight him?

Morikawa Yu thought for a moment, then suddenly said, "You are the successor of the previous priestess, the current priestess Hanamiyuki, right?"

The enormous, mountain-like statue remained silent.

Looking at Him, Morikawa Yu became even more certain of her guess.

He said in a deep voice, "Perhaps you don't want to admit it, but you have already exposed yourself completely."

Chapter 547 The Shadow of Power

“A few days ago, you found the Emperor, took away the medicinal fragrance and divine power from him, used the divine power to condense a divine puppet, and then left the divine puppet on Yuqi Island, waiting for someone to exercise their power, trigger the mark and enter here, right?”

"What is the relationship between the Priestess Hime and you? Why is she helping you and the Priestess?"

"If I kill you, can I leave with the Emperor?"

Finally, upon hearing his question, the white jade puppet changed.

A faint light slowly condensed on the chest of the puppet. This light gradually brightened, eventually becoming incredibly bright, before fading away, revealing a figure in the center.

Morikawa Yu stared at its location from afar, trying to get a clear look at its appearance.

However, the figure did not have a specific shape; it was just a hazy white shadow, and one could vaguely make out that the clothes were in the style of a priest's robe.

Surrounding it were several exquisite and small jade figurines.

Each jade puppet was connected to many shimmering threads, which were attached to her hands.

Furthermore, when it appeared, the "Susanoo-no-Mikoto" divine puppet, which was a hundred feet tall and as huge as a mountain behind it, also showed transparent threads that glowed, which eventually converged in its hand.

Morikawa Yu frowned: "You look...why do you look so strange?"

"Is it strange?" the white figure finally spoke.

Although Morikawa Yu couldn't see its appearance, she could tell that it was a very cold girl's voice, but there was no emotion in the tone: "Excuse me for being blunt, but you also look very strange to me."

"It was a pale golden humanoid shadow, holding a katana, with another sword flying beside it."

"But there's nothing we can do about it."

“In my eyes, you and the emperor are like these shadows, and in your eyes and the emperor's eyes, I am the same.”

"In this real realm formed by the remnants of history, only you, me, and the Emperor are projections of our consciousness from reality. Only those within this real realm see us as we are in reality."

"Where is the Emperor? Didn't she come in with you? Why isn't she by your side now?" she suddenly asked.

Morikawa Yu frowned: "The Emperor is resting in my Imperial Vermilion Seal Tent."

"Why did you bring me and her in here?"

Morikawa Yu is now certain that the white shadow controlling many divine puppets is the current priestess, Hanami Yuki.

Although the previous priestess only faked her death and did not pass on her divine power and the position of god, she still possesses a rather strange power that allows her to control divine puppets, and such powerful ones at that.

His arrival here was probably also her doing.

That divine puppet, including those divine imprints, was the medium she left behind to allow him to enter this so-called "realm of truth."

But she didn't seem to know what he and Tenshi Inaba did after they came in.

I only came here today because I listened to the words of those gods and giants.

Hanami Yuki shook her head: "I'm sorry, I came to Inaba on my teacher's orders, but she didn't tell me why she made me do this."

"Furthermore, I can answer your question earlier: you can indeed leave this place if you kill me."

Morikawa Yu raised an eyebrow: "Aren't you afraid?"

"The Emperor and her mother gave me a prophecy that 'she and I will leave this place soon, and I will become stronger.'"

"Moreover, my status is sufficient to fulfill this prophecy. If the prophecy comes true, you will die here."

Hanami Yuki shook her head: "I'm not afraid."

"What we are here is merely a projection of consciousness."

"Teacher, she gave me the shadow of her power. This shadow of power is in the mark on Yuqi Island. When you use your power to touch the mark, the power of your power and the power of her shadow of power intersect. Together with those divine marks, they eventually form this real domain of dual boundaries."

“When the consciousness projection of one of us collapses, this historical realm will dissipate, and then consciousness will return to the body, and the body will detach from my teacher’s realm and be seen again.”

"Even if you kill me, you're only erasing the projection of my consciousness here, allowing my consciousness to return to my body."

Morikawa Yu frowned: "You're not afraid I'll kill you because if I kill you here, you won't actually die; you'll just leave this area?"

He understood what Hanamiyuki meant.

This is not only a historical remnant of his power, but also includes the shadow of the "present" power of the goddess, the two intersecting to form such a near-real historical realm.
