I'm having fun in Tokyo

"There will be no rivals in this world. We will soon be able to sweep away the world and bring Father back."

However, Izanami simply shook her head: "No... I don't want to see him anymore... I did so much for him... I loved him so much... yet he betrayed me time and time again... and now he doesn't dare face me..."

As she spoke more and more, she gradually remembered more things and recalled why she had initially lived alone in the other world.

She spoke faster and more fluently, no longer stuttering or awkwardly speaking as before.

Expressions gradually appeared on her beautiful face, but her eyes were filled with resentment and anger: "I stand guard at the gate of the afterlife... because I want to destroy this world! To utterly destroy this world, to kill everything in it!"

Izanami's long, grayish-white hair fluttered behind her, and a dangerous red light rose in her beautiful, clear, ruby-like eyes.

She looked down at Amaterasu, finally revealing a slight smile. She released Amaterasu's shoulders and placed her hand on the top of Amaterasu's head: "You are his daughter... and also my child..."

"Then...come into my arms...let me go with you to find him, and let him return to my embrace..."

Amaterasu paused for a moment, then her expression suddenly changed.

She saw more grayish-white mist appearing at the torii gate behind Izanami. This mist stained the vermilion torii gate into a ghastly white, like bones, and then slowly eroded it into a decaying grayish-white, rotting and collapsing bit by bit.

After the torii gate collapsed, the barrier was completely broken.

The invisible and colorless barrier transformed into a deathly gray sky.

At the edge of the sky, one can see the scene of the other world, a dark and desolate place devoid of color, filled only with gray-white ice and snow, devoid of any sign of life or any living beings.

Legend has it that the underworld is home to countless wandering souls, a paradise where the dead can live forever.

But everything before my eyes was completely different.

There were no wandering spirits, not even a single moving thing to be seen; all that could be seen was a deathly stillness that sent chills down one's spine.

Izanami lived in such a world for thousands of years until she broke the seal and returned to the border between the present and the afterlife.

No wonder her expression was so stiff and cold when she came out, and she even stammered, as if she had forgotten how to speak and communicate with people.

She lived alone in that desolate, deserted place for so long in the afterlife. It's already quite remarkable that she could recall her memories and how to communicate with people so quickly. If she were an ordinary person, she probably would have gone mad long ago.

So what she meant by returning to her embrace...?

Amaterasu felt a chill run down her spine as she watched Izanami's hand reach up to her head.

She retreated abruptly, quickly reaching the rift that Morikawa Yu had created with his ultimate strike not long ago, and flew to the rift's opening: "No! Mother! Don't do this! I am your daughter!"

"You don't need to devour me, nor do you need to kill everyone in the world."

"If we can remove the obstacles in this world, kill the monsters and sinners around Father, and rebuild the Age of Gods, we can rule over this world and the afterlife, and live together in peace and happiness."

Izanami's smile vanished abruptly, and her gaze turned icy as she looked at Amaterasu: "Rebuild the Age of Gods...? Rule the mortal world...? Start a new life?"

"no need."

“He has hurt me so many times, I will not let him betray me again. I want him to become one with me, to return to the way we were in the beginning.”

"That way... he will never be able to betray me again, and I won't have to worry about him betraying me again."

"You're his daughter, you should be able to understand me, right?"

Amaterasu shook her head.

She took a deep breath and stepped back a few paces.

understand?

How should this be understood?

She only wanted to bring Izanami back and rebuild the Age of Gods, but Izanami wanted to destroy the entire human world.

Of course, she knew that Izanami was in pain.

Her father abandoned Izanami, leaving her in the desolate and lifeless other world, while he himself fled back to the present world.

For such a long time, Izanami lived alone, gradually forgetting her memories and how to communicate with others. She only remembered guarding the gate to the afterlife.

Moreover, after she welcomed Izanami back, the first thing Izanami heard was that her father had run away and abandoned her and her mother. This pain was enough to destroy Izanami's rationality and make her completely disappointed.

Chapter 694 Dad, I was wrong

Even though she understood Izanami's loneliness, pain, and resentment, she still couldn't accept Izanami's actions.

Not to mention that Izanami had just tried to directly devour her power.

She won't just sit and wait to die.

Izanami is indeed her mother, but she is not her real mother.

She only has one real relative, and that is her father.

Since Izanami has gone mad and cannot be communicated with, the only option is to persuade her father to suppress her mother and rebuild the Age of Gods.

She had planned and schemed for so many years to clear away the obstacles in the present world, rebuild the Age of Gods, and rule the present world, not to die at the hands of a madman.

Amaterasu gritted her teeth, turned around, and flew towards the rift that broke the boundary in the mortal world.

But she suddenly discovered that the power of Izanami had somehow filled the entire area where the mortal world and the afterlife met, completely occupying this place and turning it into a gray, dark, and desolate domain.

Not long ago, she used her power to burn many things in this place where the present world and the afterlife meet, and evaporated a large part of the Sanzu River.

Now, Izanami unleashed her power, turning the entire Sanzu River into dust, and all the Soul Flames and River Lanterns also turned to dust, scattering with the eerie wind.

Only white spider lilies remained, swaying amidst grayish-white dust in this soon-to-be-destroyed realm.

"Mother, please let me leave here." Amaterasu's pretty face turned pale as she turned to look at Izanami and pleaded in a low voice, "I will definitely bring Father back to you and have him apologize to you."

“You really don’t need to be so angry that you would unleash a world-ending punishment.”

Izanami shook her head: "You don't need to bring him to me. I will find him myself. I remember his scent, and I remember the scent he left on you... and that new scent that belongs to him."

“I will find him myself and demand everything he owes me back.”

Amaterasu's face turned even paler; her once exquisite and beautiful face was now completely devoid of color.

Despite her immense power, Izanami's power seemed to surpass it, a primal force that could reduce everything to death and turn to dust in the gray mist, which was utterly unstoppable.

She no longer harbored any illusions and flew with all her might toward the rift leading to the present world.

That rift was created by Morikawa Yu with a single, ultimate strike, and it leads directly to the main plaza of the shrine in Ise Land in the present world.

Although Izanami is using the power of her domain to corrupt the rift, the rift still exists and remains unchanged. As long as she can break through it, she can return to the real world, tell Morikawa Yu about Izanami's madness, and stop Izanami from destroying the real world.

That's right, as long as we leave here, there's still a chance to save everything.

Suddenly, she felt a weight on her arm and discovered that a white bone claw had appeared on it.

When she looked at Izanami again, she realized that Izanami was no longer the beautiful woman in a bright red kimono holding a parasol, but a tall figure surrounded by gray mist, appearing and disappearing in the mist.

Although the giant still looked like the beautiful young girl she had just been, she had transformed into a giant several meters tall, a change that was enough to turn people's admiration and longing into fear and terror.

Beside it flew eight delicate white-haired girls, each with a different figure, surrounded by gray-white lightning, and with different appearances.

Just now, these girls, along with that giant, transformed into that beautiful woman in the bright red kimono.

Their gazes were cold and devoid of emotion as they looked at her, transforming the gray mist into bone claws to grab her arms, attempting to drag her back to Izanami.

Amaterasu gritted her teeth, pressed her hand against her bone claw, and forcefully dug open her flesh. She threw the flesh and blood with the bone claw behind her and rushed into the rift connecting the mortal world.

The next moment, she arrived at the main plaza of Ise Grand Shrine, next to the shrine's towering main hall.

She turned to look at the crack, and could vaguely see the icy eyes of those delicate white-haired girls, and their angry expressions, exactly like Izanami's, as if they were made by the same person.

The piece of flesh with bone claws that she threw back had already turned into dust floating in the mist.

They escaped.

However, it is very likely that Izanami came out with her.

If Izanami came to the mortal world with her, then the land beneath her feet would also become part of the afterlife, becoming scattered and flying dust of the afterlife.

But if she simply leaves without regard for Izanami, it wouldn't be without its downsides.

If Izanami were to come to the mortal world, her power would connect with the power of the mortal world, and the Age of Gods would be directly revived. She would no longer have to endure the pain of divine depletion, power decline, and consciousness confusion in the mortal world.

The only ones with a headache are Morikawa Yu and Ryoko.

If she could simply hide away and wait for Morikawa Yu and Ryoko to fight against Izanami, she could sit back and watch the two sides fight, and then choose to help the winning side to achieve final victory.

Amaterasu remained silent for a moment, then used her divine power to heal the deep, bloody wound on her right arm that exposed bone. Only a tear in her clothing remained, beneath which lay her restored, fair skin.

She looked at the gap in the boundary before her, but instead of turning to run away, she reached out and released her divine power. Countless dazzling power marks surrounded her as she filled the gap with her divine power, repairing the gap within.

That's right, she could profit from it, but whether Morikawa Yu and Ryoko win, or Izanami wins, the world will be in chaos.

She doesn't want that broken and dilapidated world.

She was the lord of Takamagahara during the Age of Gods, the ruler of eight million gods, the radiant and immortal goddess Amaterasu, whose pride and self-respect did not allow her to escape all of this.

What she wants is to rebuild the Age of Gods and rule the present world, not to rebuild a present world where all living beings have been wiped out and most of them have turned into otherworldly realms.

Moreover, if she escapes now, even if she helps Izanami capture Morikawa Yu and makes Morikawa Yu change her mind and take responsibility for them, Izanami may not appreciate it.

She could very well devour her and Morikawa Yu directly.

It would be better to directly help Morikawa Yu suppress Izanami, then persuade Izanami properly, and find a way to get Morikawa Yu to reconcile with her when she forgives Morikawa Yu.

A moment later, Amaterasu took two steps back, her body went limp, and she almost fell to the ground.

Her entire right arm was severed and missing, and the skin on her left arm had turned extremely pale, with several cracks faintly visible.

Just as she was repairing the rift in the boundary, Izanami was also using the power of the Root to erode her body.

Although she was very quick, she still suffered considerable injuries.

With a deathly pale face, she used her divine power to repair her divine body. She glanced at the repaired rift in the boundary, then stumbled and flew towards Kanto and Tokyo, her mind uneasy.

Saying it is one thing, doing it is another.

If she ignores everything and goes directly to find Morikawa Yu, telling him that she welcomed her mother back but her mother felt betrayed by him again and went mad, Morikawa Yu will definitely blame her first, and Ryoko and Hisukatsuki will also blame her.

The young goddess hesitated, a hint of resentment creeping in.

She only wanted Morikawa Yu to return to her side, welcome back her mother, enjoy the love of both her father and mother, rebuild the Age of Gods, and rule the present world, but she caused such a big trouble.

If Izanami were to break through the boundary between the present world and the afterlife, then the present world would be doomed.

Even she couldn't handle Izanami, so probably no one in the world could defeat her, not even her idiot father and Yoshiko.

The world is doomed.

Never mind, I'll go find Morikawa Yu and Ryoko first.

First, bow down and apologize to him, ask for his forgiveness, and then work together to find a way to suppress Izanami and save the world.

She is his daughter; surely he wouldn't really be unmoved by her pleas?

Even so, how could she get Morikawa Yu to forgive her, clean up her mess, and resolve this trouble?

The young goddess frowned slightly, her beautiful golden eyes revealing a hint of resentment and confusion.

Chapter 695 The System Girl's Reminder

......

...

Meanwhile, in Tokyo, at the Morikawa family manor.

Morikawa Yu hugged her older sister, buried her face in her sister's arms, closed her eyes, and gently fell asleep.

After explaining his identity, the shrine maiden, Ryoko, and the shrine maiden Mizuki returned to Tokyo Shrine to continue the main priest meeting.

They had been preparing for the priesthood meeting beforehand.

As a result, Amaterasu, who was hiding inside the shrine maiden, took Morikawa Yu away, causing the Shinto council to be interrupted.

After finally bringing the shrine maiden back from Amaterasu, Morikawa Yu went to great lengths to explain his identity to Hiizuki, the Great Fox, Ryoko, and his sister, putting their minds at ease.

Ryoko and the others prepared to go back and end the meeting.

He was told by Ryoko and Hisukatsuki to rest for a while.

The big fox also came downstairs, preparing to talk to Tamamo and the others about his affairs. Only he and his sister remained in the study.

Suddenly, Morikawa Yu opened her eyes.

He heard the system girl's voice in his ear.
