Female Swordsman Training Dojo

However, after a moment of shock, Genesis quickly realized the problem—she was very familiar with that voice!

That was her true master, the true core of Christianity, the true primordial God! She, her soul, had been hidden within her true form all along! And she hadn't even noticed! How could this be!

"Heh, is this the time to consider that?" The being that seemed to be the primordial god chuckled, drawing Genesis's attention back: "Look, that man is about to give his answer. Do you think he will accept your surrender?"

Genesis looked at Harunobu, whose expression remained calm, as still as a deep well, revealing no inclination. But Genesis, already uneasy, felt his heart sink under the influence of that voice.

On the other hand, after much deliberation, Harunobu still did not intend to accept Genesis's surrender.

While losing the hidden world of Genesis was a pity, he didn't want to be the king of the world, and he didn't lack hidden worlds—Gensokyo, Yomi, and possibly Takamagahara, that made three. Moreover, Gensokyo and Yomi were both absolutely controllable, far better than leaving behind one that couldn't be absolutely controlled and was also deeply scheming.

Chapter 604

Genesis is much better.

Between the two, his wives' feelings were more important. Besides, Genesis himself said that some ruins might remain, which might preserve the core abilities of time manipulation and world construction. Harunobu wasn't greedy; having just one of them would be enough.

So, the idea of ​​Genesis should just die—speaking of which, she was quite unlucky; you could say she was betrayed and killed by her own puppet. After all, if the Catholic God hadn't tricked Harunobu into Genesis, she'd still be happily harvesting wealth right now.

Just as Harunoshiki was about to give his answer with mixed emotions, Genesis suddenly looked up and shouted at Harunoshiki, "God is still alive—"

At the same time, Ilyas's voice rang out from behind Harunobu: "Harunobu~ I think keeping that old man as my maid isn't so bad—Eek!?"

Ilyas, having magnanimously finished speaking, landed on Harunobu's shoulder, only to be startled by what she saw. Genesis's originally tall and well-proportioned body suddenly split open, the holy light that constituted her body shining brightly, being eroded and entangled by another kind of holy light, rapidly merging together to form a new flesh.

"Ah—" A double chord of mixed emotions, both of deep feeling and immense pain, escaped from the first voice channel to be modified. Genesis, holding the Kusabimaru that Harunobu had slashed at him, leisurely spread out the featherless bone wings on his back: "Finally back, but I didn't expect this guy to actually intend to surrender... I say, Taira no Harunobu, you don't have any special ability to charm goddesses, do you?"

Haruno's power surged, and Kusanagi pierced through the thick holy light, slashing once more at the strangely dressed woman before him: "Who are you?"

“Of course, it’s the real God.” The woman chuckled, looking at the primordial God standing beside Qingxin: “Hey, give my body back, and how about we go our separate ways?”

Before Qingxin could speak, the woman's expression suddenly changed, and she squeezed out two words: "Don't believe it—ah!"

"Honestly... she'd rather lose to you than obey. Looks like she needs more training." The woman raised her right hand, her once slender, white arm now transformed into several intertwined tentacles: "So, shall we fight?"

Harunobu raised the wedge-shaped mace.

The author says:

Author's Note: Update progress 13/30. I should be done fighting and going home tomorrow~ Writing this part of the story was really agonizing…

Chapter 560: The Sky Shatters and the Earth Crashes

The battle began in an instant.

The moment Qingxin raised his sword, his new daughter also charged forward wielding the Greatsword of Light and Flame. The holy light gathered before the Merged God was dispelled as before, and the Greatsword of Light and Flame slashed fiercely at the Merged God's neck, cutting a huge wound three fingers deep.

"Varied--"

Before the Primordial God could finish his shocked words, the Merged God had already kicked her in the stomach. A viscous substance, indistinguishable as clay, slime, or flesh, struck her, sending her flying a considerable distance. As the Greatsword of Light and Flame departed with its master, the wound on the Merged God's neck rapidly healed, restoring its smooth, white appearance.

With her right tentacle wrapped around Harunobu's arm, holy light separated the black mist and storm, and she said with a lewd grin, "You chose the wrong path, my dear. You could have lived."

boom!

Harunobu's raised right foot collided with the left foot of the merged God. The viscous substance clung to Harunobu's sole and even slowly crawled toward Harunobu's calf.

“You could have just left and gone back to your hometown to enjoy a pleasant life; frankly, I wouldn’t mind giving you my old body, but why did you have to seek death?”

boom!

The primordial god, who had returned, crashed into the fused god who was locked in a stalemate with Qingxin. This time, the greatsword of light and flame pierced her left arm, but still failed to sever the seemingly slender, fair limb.

"It's useless." The Merged God laughed, "I return your previous words to you, my child, 'How dare you use my holy light against me!'"

A burst of holy light erupted, merging with God's tentacles and colliding with Harunobu's Karmaru, while her other hand dealt with the Primordial God. This didn't mean she was strong enough to handle both Harunobu and the Primordial God, but rather that her bizarrely tough body allowed her to remain unharmed despite being repeatedly struck.

Whether it's the Radiant Greatsword or the Wedge-shaped Blade, whether it's holy light or corrupting power, no matter what kind of wounds are inflicted, the Fusion God can instantly recover completely in a short time. In comparison, Harunobu and his companions are not so resilient. Moreover, the Fusion God's bizarre tentacles and the strange viscous substance on its feet also possess some disgusting characteristics, frequently interfering with Harunobu and his group's battle.

With the balance of power shifting, even a two-on-one fight couldn't defeat this guy.

But this is only temporary.

After all, Harunobu had already seen her weakness.

It's not this body that's flawless, without a single weakness, one that even Qingxin couldn't see. But that doesn't mean that merging with God makes her without weaknesses. Although it's unknown how she forcibly merged with Genesis, it's clear from her actions that she must rely on Genesis to maintain her existence.

The true form of Genesis is the core of this hidden world, and that is the real fatal weakness—so it doesn't matter if the body can't be destroyed, as long as the core is destroyed.

And the location of the core was something Harunobu already knew. At the moment Genesis cried out to Harunobu for help, she simultaneously revealed the location of her core to him. Although it was only for a moment before being concealed again, Harunobu, remembering that "aura of existence," managed to find it again.

However, there's no need to tell the merging God about these things.

Harunobu, her face expressionless and seemingly burdened with a heavy heart, continued her futile attacks. While the Merged God wouldn't be killed so easily, she had to concentrate fully on dealing with the situation. Meanwhile, in a corner she couldn't reach, Ilyas and Misuruhime, riding on black mist, were slowly approaching the hidden spot.

Another bloody attack, and once again, everything returned to normal.

The fused God, whose face was always adorned with a lewd smile, suddenly spoke: "You really think I didn't notice your two little ones?"

Harunobu slashed with his sword, the sound like thunder: "I admit, your existence makes Genesis seem less disgusting; you're not Jewish, are you?"

"What do you think?" The Merged God maintained her smile, but her gaze involuntarily drifted towards the core. To her relief, Misuruhime and Ilias were futilely circling around there. She was well aware of her own weakness, and had already set up defenses in that area.

For example, there are alarm measures to alert her to intrusion, and defensive measures to stop Misuruhime and Ilyas. These are defensive spells that can only be broken by commands issued from within, from the core. If Ilyas were still part of Genesis, she might be able to break them, but if she were, she would have already been devoured and merged with them.

Of course, it was just a defensive spell, which could be broken directly—but a weak clone and a mortal could never do that.

Fusion God stuck out his bright red tongue and licked his lips, throwing a flirtatious wink at Qingxin: "It's not too late to surrender now, darling. We don't really have to fight to the death. As long as you give me back my body, I can form an alliance with you."

Of course, Harunobu could not agree to such a request; even God knew that...

Chapter 605

Dao Qingxin would never agree; she was merely provoking Qingxin. However, the effect was somewhat disappointing. Despite being a mere mortal, he was unexpectedly composed. Could he have some other trump card up his sleeve?

Soon, with another collision between the tentacles and the wedge-shaped object, the fusion god wished he hadn't guessed correctly.

For the first time, the tentacle that had merged with God was completely severed, and the chilling flames of blood remained on the smooth cut surface, burning continuously. Upon closer inspection, a wisp of black could be seen within.

"The power of filth? But this is..." The God of Fusion recognized the black truth at a glance, but she couldn't understand how the power of filth had fused with Qingxin's blood flame to this extent.

"Are you suddenly talking so much because you're scared?"

The experiment was a success. Qingxin no longer suppressed his power and fully unleashed the strongest free-flowing technique he knew—Heavenly Shattering and Earth Crushing!

Crimson flames erupted from his chest, instantly engulfing his entire body. Immense power surged from within, transforming into countless black wisps of mist—no, black flames! Seated in the flames, Harunobu's aura rose steadily, and he used it with unparalleled skill. After all, he had used it countless times, merging with Izanami.

The so-called "Heaven Shatters and Earth Shatters" is the female protagonist's self-destruction technique in the original work. By offering up a large amount of her existence power, she forcibly caused the Crimson World Demon God she had a contract with to appear across worlds. Because this move would damage the Flame Haze warriors who served as her vessels, it was basically a death sentence—although the female protagonist survived.

This is why Qingxin hadn't used it before, but is now considering using it. Besides the fact that his existence power hadn't fully recovered and he couldn't use it properly before, he was also afraid of killing himself. But now he's succeeded... well, halfway there.

This level alone is not enough to absolutely suppress and merge with God. After discovering Qingxin's abnormality, they are also trying to unleash their trump cards.

Harunobu looked at the Primordial God. The naive newborn Flame Haze planted her greatsword in the air before her, her right hand pressed against her heart. The vast amount of existence power transferred to her by Harunobu was rapidly being consumed, while the immense power within Harunobu, her contracted "Crimson World Demon Lord," was quickly transferred to her.

The sky is shattered and the earth is broken!

Harunobu could use this technique to pull Izanami from Japan, and the Primordial God could naturally use the same technique to pull Harunobu, who was right in front of him, over as well. In this way, the power of Izanami, the power of Harunobu, and the power of the Primordial God would be completely combined.

This is the Heaven-Shattering Trio!!!

The three colors—red, black, and white—were completely intertwined, permeating every corner of the primordial God's body. Her already incredibly strong body, further enhanced by being bathed in the holy light of Genesis for a thousand years, was unbelievably resilient, completely withstanding this power and even eagerly anticipating its arrival.

The only thing she could use to vent her frustrations was, of course, merging with God.

Facing the primordial God slowly drawing his blazing greatsword, watching the sword gradually change from white to red, black, and white, the merged God closed his eyes, then opened them. Then he closed them again.

Then, helplessly, he uttered a single word: Fuck!

A chaotic holy light emanated from her body.

Chapter 561: Echoes of Ideals (3100 words)

Harunobu felt that the situation before him seemed familiar.

A holy light shone forth in its full glory, and ethereal chants echoed in the void. An invincible force surged forth, purifying the world once more and returning it to eternal silence and beauty. Countless rainbow-colored bubbles drifted in from all directions, their tiny figures inside maintaining innocent smiles, shouting aloud—

"Hallelujah!"

Okay, here we go again?

Qingxin is truly speechless. Before entering the second phase, his ultimate skill was this, and after entering the second phase, his ultimate skill is still this. Did you enter the second phase for nothing?

Regardless of whether her second stage of merging with God was in vain, when she activated Genesis, even the primordial God who had successfully achieved the "Trinity" was temporarily suppressed by her. The holy light and chants continued to attack Qingxin and his group, forcing them to maintain continuous defense and counterattacks.

This is the situation that God hoped to see, and it's her only chance of winning now.

When Harunobu used Tenha Rangsui to summon Izanami, and then had the Primordial God use Tenha Rangsui to superimpose himself upon her, she knew she was definitely outmatched. This wasn't just a difference in combat power, but also a difference in concepts.

This field itself is quite compatible with her Christian faith; otherwise, she wouldn't have been the one to find it first. After a thousand years of adjustment and transformation by the Genesis consciousness, it can truly be said to be the Kingdom of Heaven in Christian doctrine.

While Harunobu and the others didn't do it intentionally, they did achieve a substantial state of the Holy Trinity: Father, Mother, and Son (or Daughter). In contrast, her fusion with Genesis can only be described as the union of the Holy Spirit and the Holy Mother. This is because she is not entirely the same God as before, but rather a remnant of her soul, a remnant left behind by the original God when he controlled the core of Genesis.

That's why she was able to keep it a secret from Genesis and remain inside. However, she was initially too weak and lacked independent thought and a sense of self. As she gradually grew stronger, she discovered that Genesis had also awakened its own self, and she didn't even dare to show herself and try to control this original servant.

To get back to the point, the Trinity is naturally more complete than the Dionysian system and is more in line with the tendencies of this world that has been built up to be very Christian.

If the consciousness of the Genesis realm still remained free and maintained its self-awareness, then it wouldn't really matter. The problem is that she has now become the material for merging with God, meaning that this realm is actually in a state of unconscious instinct, naturally leaning towards an existence that is more in line with itself.

Previously, there was a dual God who also possessed the Holy Light; now, of course, there is also a primordial God who possesses the Holy Light but has achieved the Trinity!

Therefore, merging with God means taking a gamble! They're betting that Hiraharu and his group won't be able to eliminate her before Genesis is complete! If Genesis succeeds, everything except Genesis itself will be reduced to nothingness! Even she, who has merged with the consciousness of Genesis, only has a slim chance of surviving!

The fusion of God has gone completely mad. But thinking about it, it's understandable. A remnant soul that survived a near-death experience and was betrayed and killed by a "villain" in a bloody battle, endured for a thousand years under the nose of the "murderer," watching her use her name to swindle and deceive her hard work; finally, she finally found an opportunity to fight back and regain her rightful power and status—only to be beaten so badly that she couldn't take care of herself and was about to be beaten to death on the spot.

It would be amazing if someone didn't go crazy after that.

Therefore, Fusion God is determined to destroy Harunobu. As long as she can drag this bastard Harunobu, who suddenly appeared out of nowhere, down with her, she doesn't care even if she dies completely!

As if responding to the determination to merge with God, or simply because the two-in-one entity was driving the speed of Genesis faster than the previous Genesis consciousness alone, violent holy light and colorful bubbles kept emerging, suppressing Qingxin and the primordial God.

"Dad, should we force a breakthrough?"

The original God spoke to Harunobu in his heart; the Flame Haze and the Crimson Lord she had a pact with were capable of doing such a thing.

Harunobu gazed at Misuruhime and Ilyas, who were unaffected by the holy light, and a slight smile appeared on his lips: "No, there's no rush. If you force a breakthrough, your body will suffer great damage. Let's trust those two for now. We can't let you steal all the spotlight."

The Primordial God nodded slightly, and with another sword, cleaved the surging tide of holy light. The strange light, interwoven with red, black, and white, was like a giant reef, easily separating the giant waves.

Meanwhile, Misuru and Ilyas were unaware that Harunobu was in good condition. The grand and spectacular special effects of Genesis were truly breathtaking, and even though they trusted Harunobu completely, it didn't mean they wouldn't...

Chapter 606

worry.

Especially Ilyas, whose personality is more extreme and who is younger, was now flying around in circles: "What to do! What to do! We have to stop that guy, even if it means letting Haruno escape alone—"

Misuru appeared relatively calm, but the white knuckles of her intertwined fingers and her nearly bitten lip betrayed her inner turmoil. However, she was more mature than Ilyas, knowing that panicking here was useless; they should focus on completing their mission.

Find and destroy the core of Genesis!

Whatever their enemy may be, it's certain to be related to Genesis. Destroying the core of Genesis will definitely be helpful to Harunobu!

"Ilias!" Misuruhime raised her voice, "Stop wandering around! Keep looking for that damned core!"

Ilyas flapped her wings and replied anxiously, "I already said, this place has been sealed off by magic! There's no way we can find the core!"

“I know, but you also said that spells can be dispelled.” Misurugi stared calmly at Ilyas. “Calm down! Your anxiety will only distract Harunobu more!”

Ilyas shook a couple of times in frustration, then landed on her shoulder: "I'm not part of that old thing anymore, how could I possibly undo this spell! Sending Harunobu or that zombie would be more likely—"

Ilyas stopped abruptly halfway through her sentence, and Misuru's beautiful eyes lit up as she looked at her expectantly. She saw Ilyas staring blankly at a colorful bubble that floated past them, inside which they could see many steel fortresses spewing black smoke.

Then Ilyas suddenly flew up again, shouting excitedly, "I know! I know! There really is a way to bypass this damned spell!"

Misuru had to reach out and grab Ilyas to calm her down: "So what do we do?"

Ilyas shook her head, staring intently at Misuruhime: "Not us, it's you, the Lord of the Ideal World! It's you!"

Under Misuru's surprised gaze, Ilyas excitedly and quickly said, "Genesis will destroy all existing worlds, which means it will drag all worlds here! And all the states of the ideal world will be fed back to the core in real time, which means that as long as you find your and Harunobu's ideal world, you can interfere with the internal workings of the spell through the ideal world, and then you just need to..."

"Put the power of filth into it!"

Misuru's eyes lit up, and she immediately began searching the surrounding colorful bubbles. Ilyas also spread her wings and plunged into the pile of bubbles to begin her search.

But the bubbles that covered the sky seemed endless, and the two of them worked for a long time without any results.

Disappointment came so quickly that Ilyas's excited face drooped again. But Misuru remained calm. She gazed at the countless bubbles, and her innate sensitivity to numbers and ability to summarize data allowed her to notice the patterns among them.

These worlds range from old to new, from simple agricultural communes to industrial factories, and then to the worlds constructed in various novels... while her and Harunobu's world is of course the newest batch, and perhaps they haven't arrived yet.

No, it's probably not its turn to be annihilated yet, so it should be in the outer layer.
