I'm having fun in Tokyo

Moreover, the divine power imprint surrounding her was like a blazing sun in this dark space, illuminating the surroundings, not only burning the spider lilies at their feet to ashes, but also suppressing the surrounding space.

He felt as if his wind power had stagnated and was difficult to use.

As they approached the riverbank, the giant black fish swimming in the river swam away in fear.

Two giant fish were a little too late in turning back to escape. The river water where their bodies were located was exposed to the light and instantly turned into ashes, which floated on the river and continued to dissolve.

Amaterasu reached out, and her divine power spread into the Sanzu River.

The river parted silently, flowing upwards towards the location where she and Morikawa Yu were.

As the golden divine light shone around her, the river water emitted a dark mist. The mist instantly dissipated, and the river water became clear, no different from ordinary river water, except that it appeared somewhat viscous.

However, Morikawa Yu could still feel the power of the river water.

If he were to get soaked, he would probably be skinned alive.

Although the river water couldn't further erode his flesh and blood thanks to his own physique, and he would quickly recover, he would certainly suffer a lot.

Thinking of this, Morikawa Yu called out to the system girl in her consciousness, "Are you there?"

"Help me get out of here."

Not wanting to suffer an inexplicable loss, yet unable to get rid of this ridiculously possessive "daughter," he could only quickly ask the system to save the day and take him away.

However, to Morikawa Yu's surprise, the system girl refused him: "No."

"I will not actively interfere with what happens around you, host, nor will I directly help you leave this place."

"Host, you must find a way to solve the problems you encounter around you."

"Otherwise, if you get used to relying on me, you will always rely on me and find it difficult to cross the final boundary and become a truly perfect life."

Morikawa Yu was stunned for a moment.

He was about to say, "System Girl, you didn't say that before," when he suddenly remembered that System Girl had never actively interfered in the things around him; she had always provided him with help indirectly.

This time, the system girl probably won't directly help him.

Chapter 684 The Priestess's Help

He still needs to rely on his own strength to solve this crisis.

So, what should we do?

Morikawa Yu looked at Amaterasu in front of her.

The young goddess was focused on guiding the flow of the Sanzu River, refining the power of the river in the sky. She was about to complete the refining process and give him a thorough bath in the river water.

Feeling helpless, Morikawa Yu suddenly noticed the shrine maiden beside her following.

At the same time, he heard a faint girl's voice.

"Lord Morikawa, you must be having a headache about how to escape, right? Please join me in getting rid of her together."

Morikawa Yu was stunned for a moment.

Get rid of her? Get rid of whom?

He looked at the priestess and suddenly realized that what he had just heard was the priestess's telepathic communication. The priestess seemed to be talking about the goddess Amaterasu.

She said she wanted to get rid of Amaterasu.

Has she been rebelling against Amaterasu all along? So, we need to get rid of her?

Morikawa Yu looked at the shrine maiden, and saw the young goddess wink at him: "I am talking to you, Goddess Morikawa. I am the real shrine maiden. I saw you back in Kyoto."

Morikawa Yu remained outwardly silent, but nodded inwardly: "I know. What's the deal with you saying you want to work with me to get rid of her?"

"Aren't you and her together?"

He had just seen the priestess with Amaterasu and assumed she was in league with Amaterasu, someone who plotted against her.

He never expected the priestess to suddenly talk to him about something like this.

This really surprised him, and he couldn't quite believe the priestess.

While it's possible that the priestess genuinely wanted to help him, who knows if she was Amaterasu's loyal confidante, now acting on Amaterasu's orders to scheme against her old father?

Morikawa Yu subconsciously began to have doubts.

Fortunately, he had Xinjue by his side.

The little maid's ability to discern truth from falsehood is extremely useful in situations like this.

As soon as the priestess opens her mouth, he can tell whether she is toying with him in collusion with Amaterasu.

“Of course I’m not with her, Morikawa Shrine.” The young shrine maiden’s voice immediately came through: “From the very beginning, no one has ever wanted to be with her.”

"It was only because the first generation was a shrine maiden who served her that the first generation was willing to become her human body, allowing her to hide inside her body."

“Since the first generation, no one has been willing to let her occupy their body anymore.”

"But her power is far greater than ours. We are not the true supreme gods, but she has divine power that is even stronger than that of the supreme gods. We have no way to resist her."

"Fortunately, she gave us the power to foresee the future, and we can use this power to see what the future holds."

“We can all see the future where she finds you, and you break through to the ultimate level of swordsmanship by the Sanzu River, defeat her, and rescue me from here.”

"So, I want to help you. Please help me too, rescue me, and get me away from her."

Morikawa Yu was stunned.

He will break through to the ultimate level of swordsmanship by the Sanzu River, defeat Amaterasu, and take the priestess away from here, freeing her from Amaterasu's influence on priestesses throughout the ages.

Does every generation of priestesses see this scene?

He thought the priestess was joking.

But the shrine maiden clearly wasn't joking, and since Shinkaku didn't speak, it meant that the shrine maiden wasn't lying.

She must have truly seen this future.

Thinking about this, Morikawa Yu's feelings became somewhat complicated.

He wasn't being sentimental about the fact that his fate had been witnessed; rather, he was thinking about how to break through to the ultimate realm of swordsmanship.

He hasn't reached level 18 yet, which is the limit of human potential.

He probably hasn't reached the pinnacle of swordsmanship yet, has he?

As Morikawa Yu was thinking to himself, he suddenly noticed Amaterasu looking at him. Then he glanced at the shrine maiden beside him, a look of suspicion appearing in his beautiful eyes: "Father, what are you looking at?"

Senkawa Yu sensed something was wrong and immediately shook her head.

But the young goddess didn't seem to believe him and walked towards him.

As she drew closer, the waters of the Sanzu River, floating in the sky, pressed down like dark clouds.

The shrine maiden beside her also walked towards Morikawa Yu.

Morikawa Yu glanced at the shrine maiden, but his thoughts were still on breaking through to the pinnacle of swordsmanship.

He hasn't reached level eighteen yet, so he can't possibly make a breakthrough in swordsmanship.

Suddenly, Morikawa Yu remembered something else.

While he was studying swordsmanship, he seemed to gain experience and improve his swordsmanship level.

Just like last time when he comprehended the peerless slash of the sword demon god Kashima, he gained a lot of experience, which directly raised his level to level 17.5.

However, he has not yet fully grasped Kashima's swordsmanship.

So maybe if he tries to continue studying swordsmanship this time, he can gain more experience?

"Father, I am very disappointed." Suddenly, Amaterasu spoke.

The young goddess looked at him, just quietly looking at him, without shouting, crying, or showing any anger or resentment towards him. She simply looked at him.

But her expression conveyed an indescribable sense of loss and loneliness.

“I originally thought that after I found you, I could help you regain your memories, remember your identity, and then be with us.”

“Even if you are unwilling to accept reality, you will at least admit the mistakes you made and apologize to me and my mother.”

"But I never expected that you would really forget about us like this. You don't acknowledge your own identity at all, and you use all sorts of excuses to absolve yourself. You don't want to acknowledge me at all."

"I am your daughter, would I really harm you?"

“That’s right. I just said I wanted to make you suffer a bit, Father. I’ll use the waters of the River of Three Crossings to peel off a layer of your skin so you can go and see Mother clean and pure.”

"But do you really think I would do that?"

"If I really wanted to do this, I could have just thrown my father into the River of Three Crossings. Why bother refining the river water and removing its poison, giving you time to conspire with that child to harm me?"

Morikawa Yu's face stiffened.

The priestess was also taken aback.

The young goddess waved her hand and unleashed a beam of divine light. The dazzling light instantly evaporated, dissolved, and disappeared the waters of the Sanzu River in the sky, eventually turning into a light drizzle that fell from the sky.

To Morikawa Yu's surprise, the rain did not irritate his skin as he had expected. Instead, it felt very comfortable, like he had just taken a sunbath, giving him a warm and relaxing feeling.

“Father, it is true that the waters of the Sanzu River are highly corrosive and extremely poisonous to living beings, but I can use my divine power to neutralize its toxicity and corrosive force, turning it into warm, pure water.”

"It will not have any corrosive power, it will only wash away all the smells on you, Father, and make your body clean."

"It also contains my divine power, which can make your body stronger and more masculine, Father."

"But I never expected that you, Father, would think I would hurt you."

The girl sighed softly.

She looked at Morikawa Yu, her beautiful black eyes suddenly turning golden.

As the golden light shone, countless golden divine power marks surrounded her, far more than when she first appeared, illuminating the surrounding darkness as if it were daytime.

"Since you are so afraid of me and Mother, and so eager to escape from me, then I'll break your arms and legs."

"If I break your arms and legs, and turn you into a cripple, then you won't leave me, right?"

Chapter 685 Give Me a Loving Hug

It's going to happen!

Morikawa Yu's body stiffened.

He never expected that Amaterasu would find out about his conspiracy with the priestess.

Moreover, judging from the slightly surprised look on the priestess's face, she must have been quite surprised that her secret had been exposed.

But whether her powers malfunctioned, she underestimated Amaterasu, or Amaterasu was already on guard against her, these are no longer issues he should be concerned about.

He only had one question left to worry about: how to deal with the current crisis.

Because of his actions, Amaterasu was completely enraged, and her yandere tendencies kicked in. She wanted to cripple him and then keep him by her side.

But on the other side, the big fox and her friends were still waiting for him to come home.

He couldn't just sit there and wait to die, letting Amaterasu do something to him and leave him here.

He has to go back!

“Father, I’m giving you one last chance. Admit your mistakes to me and to Mother, and together with us, kill all the sinners and monsters in this world so that the Age of Gods may return.”

"Otherwise... I really will have to demand that you repay the debt you owe me and my mother."

The young goddess stared at him expressionlessly, unleashing the aura and divine power of the highest deity from the Age of Gods, illuminating the land beneath her feet, the boundary between the mortal and the afterlife.

She was originally the strongest of the three main gods of the Age of Gods, symbolizing the eternal sun that has existed since time immemorial, illuminating all things and bringing endless life.

The powers she possesses are also the strongest among the three main gods.

Seeing that Morikawa Yu did not react, the girl god's expression darkened.

She closed her eyes, and the golden divine light around her subsided slightly.

The next moment, she opened her eyes.

The golden divine power that had been somewhat restrained instantly became incredibly dazzling, almost filling the entire border region.

The boundary between the present and the afterlife, which was originally incredibly dark, is now as bright as day. The black soil and blood-red spider lilies beneath their feet quickly melt away in the light, turning into ashes.

Further away, the Sanzu River also began to evaporate under the light, and the river level visibly dropped.
