Nobody knows how to be a villain better than me.

As expected, it still doesn't work...

Samael, perched atop the gun turret, gazed at the battlefield, shaking his head slightly, unsurprised by the outcome.

Although Izanami-no-Mikoto is the earth mother goddess of this land, she has undergone many changes, such as being banished to the Land of the Dead, the division of the land into three kingdoms, the replacement of Kunitsu-no-Kami by Amatsu-no-Kami, and the rise of Shintoism. Her complete powers have been stripped away time and time again.

This level of weakening was so great that even the then-unrivaled deity Amaterasu couldn't withstand it.

Moreover, she was an ancient god who had long been forgotten and had lost power.

Such instances of breaking down the old and establishing the new were all too common in the Age of Gods.

Uranus, the father of the gods in ancient Greece; Pontus, the old sea god; Cronus, the second generation of gods; and the twelve Titans of the same period—these vanished predecessors in the field are all living examples.

Compared to all of the above, Izanami-no-Mikoto is already very fortunate to have retained her complete divinity and self and been revived in the present world.

Of course, this was mainly thanks to Tamamo-no-Mae back then, who retained some integrity. She seized the power of this primordial earth mother goddess but didn't kill her. Instead, she threw her into the Land of the Dead to serve as a filter to absorb filth.

Now, the twelve sacred lances anchored to the earth have been pulled down, and the Age of Gods has returned.

Subsequently, the land of the dead in this region began to rise, attempting to reconnect with the mortal world, which indirectly awakened Izanami-no-Mikoto, who was integrated with the entire underworld.

Because they were stripped of their power and expelled, they ended up here in exile.

Because they were stranded here, they escaped the war between gods and humans and the separation between humans and gods, thus maintaining their complete selves.

The saying "fortune and misfortune are interdependent" is probably just like this.

Even if she staked her divine kingdom and summoned external forces, this forgotten Earth Mother Goddess was destined to be no match for her destined nemesis.

Their eyes met, and Tamamo-no-Mae, on the battlefield, glanced meaningfully at Samael, who was watching the battle from the gun turret, and revealed a charming smile.

But then, a deep sense of apprehension appeared in the narrow fox's eyes, and a feeling of frustration welled up inside it.

That guy has gotten stronger again.

They're both biological invasions, so why is there such a big difference?

He unified the Mesopotamian pantheon, seized power from Olympia, and rose to the position of regent prince of the Roman Empire...

That guy really is dashing wherever he goes.

Looking at myself, ever since I was driven out of China, I've had a string of bad luck.

Whether in Japan and India, or even as far away as Greece, she never had a smooth journey; she was practically a rabbit being chased around everywhere.

In the end, when they returned to their old territory, they almost got stripped of their fox skins.

As she recounted their shared experiences, Tamamo-no-Mae's heart was filled with deep resentment.

But soon, the sun goddess found the perfect person to make up for her psychological disappointment.

Tamamo-no-Mae glanced at Izanami with a playful look, the sharp blade of her sword pressing a faint red mark on Izanami's delicate skin, her upturned lips curving into a pleased smile.

"The general has arrived, Mother..."

The Goddess of the Underworld looked to her side, her mind in turmoil, her eyes lifeless.

Incredibly, her sword silently sliced ​​through the "solidified" force field of the creation artifact, the Heavenly Spear.

In the Kojiki, she herself, as the Earth Mother Goddess, received the mandate of heaven to create land in the vast ocean. She stirred the water with the Ama-no-Numa Spear, causing the mud to surge up and gather into islands.

Therefore, as a creation artifact, the Heavenly Swamp Spear possesses the power to solidify all things.

On her home turf in the Land of the Dead, theoretically, she could unleash the full power of the Heavenly Spear, even stirring or freezing time and space.

But at this moment, the creation artifact on which she had placed so much hope—the Heavenly Spear—was stuck in the highly crystallized soil, its light dimmed and its mournful cries never ceasing.

A clear crack stretched from the tip almost to the entire spear shaft, with the divine runes on it flickering intermittently.

After preparing for so long, enduring so much pain, and harboring resentment for thousands of years...

He still lost to this woman, utterly defeated.

Izanami felt a strong sense of defeat. Faced with the cruel reality, she lowered her proud head and issued a humiliating declaration of defeat.

"I lost……"

As everyone gazed at the forlorn and dejected goddess on the battlefield, they couldn't help but feel a pang of sorrow.

"What did you just say? I can't hear you."

However, the audience did not get the expected ending. The sun goddess, who stood high above on the battlefield, shook her head with a smile.

Izanami paused for a moment, then pursed her lips and repeated it with difficulty.

"I said, I lost."

"Scream louder."

A pair of narrow, fox-like eyes blinked merrily, and a deep malice spread across her alluring face.

"..."

At this moment, Izanami, having recovered from the shock, gasped for breath, glared angrily at the person opposite her, and turned away.

Immediately, a pair of narrow fox eyes blinked excitedly, a pink tongue licked cherry lips, and a gentle persuasion was uttered.

"Say it again, okay?"

Even if you beat me, I won't accept it!

Facing the Kusanagi sword pressing even closer to her neck, Izanami, the fish on the chopping block, remained unmoved, stubbornly pursing her lips.

Yes, that's exactly the feeling I've been looking for!

Seeing that defiant gaze, Tamamo-no-Mae felt as refreshed as if she had drunk a large glass of iced plum juice on a sweltering summer day, with every pore on her body opening up and a cool breeze blowing through.

The upturned lip line created an even higher curve.

"What was the name of that human you were with last time?"

Tamamo-no-Mae turned her head to look at the gun tower in front of her, raised her hand to tap her head, and a smile of sudden realization appeared on her charming face.

"Oh, it's Chitose Masuru, right?"

"I lost!"

"What? Shout louder!"

"I lost, you won! Kill me or torture me, it's up to you, is that alright?"

Faced with the shameless hostage threat, Izanami closed her eyes, roared in despair, her trembling voice even carrying a hint of sobbing.

However, the naive goddess underestimated the evil nature of a certain canine creature.

Despite the ear-piercing shouts, Tamamo-no-Mae still shook her head with a smile.

"I can't hear you!"

"you……"

"I said I can't hear you, and that's it! You're trying to surrender in such a low voice; you have no sincerity at all!"

The wicked vixen, in the guise of a victor, continued to bully the loser, raising her eyebrows with ill intent as she glanced at the gun turret.

"In that case, I have to consider..."

"unacceptable!"

Izanami let out a mournful cry, completely breaking down. She collapsed to the ground, knees bent, a wave of sorrow washing over her as her nostrils twitched. Her eyes reddened, and tears, which she could no longer hold back, streamed down her face.

"Gu, kill me..."

Crying, you're crying?

At this moment, facing the overwhelming tyranny of Amaterasu Omikami in humiliating the weak, the audience broke out in a cold sweat.

However, the gazes of others held no sway over that human evil; instead, they fueled her even stronger sadistic desires.

"You're not going to talk, huh? Well, then there's nothing I can do..."

As Tamamo-no-Mae spoke, she smiled and made a conclusion about Izanami-no-Mikoto's cooperative behavior, while turning around.

"Fox, have some shame..." a eerie voice drifted over. Samael looked up and sighed, "At least have some..."

Upon hearing that familiar voice, the domineering fox immediately perked up its ears, quickly sheathed the Kusanagi sword that was resting on Izanami's neck, and straightened its clothes, presenting itself as a virtuous and gentle Yamato Nadeshiko, facing the approaching Samael.

However, a hint of resentment flickered in his eyes: "I've endured all this infamy, all for your sake..."

Just as Samael was somewhat confused, Tamamo-no-Mae immediately pulled up Izanami-no-Mikoto, who was lying on the ground, and reached out from behind her, running her hands over the curves of this goddess of the underworld, blinking her charming fox eyes and revealing a mocking smile.

"As is customary, the winner has the right to control the loser. Such good material should of course be left to you. Once I have educated my mother, I will send her over immediately. Then she will be yours, and you can use her however you like."

A string of raunchy and lewd words came from Tamamo-no-Mae's mouth.

To make it easier to understand, the fox spirit lip-synced to the words, revealing the true nature of the old fox spirit, her gaze ambiguous and playful.

Izanami, who was being toyed with by Tamamo-no-Mae, heard her fate and immediately closed her eyes and cried out in despair, as if she could see her dark and hopeless end.

Faced with such a humiliating and dark future, the goddess of the underworld whimpered and even forgot to resist the control.

"Oh, by the way, that one named Chitose Masuru is also nice, they can be stacked together, I'll pack them up and give them to you..."

"Or, perhaps, for a change of pace, try the exotic charm of a dark-skinned woman?"

"If you can't wait, you can use that Australian girl first. With her guts, she definitely won't dare to resist you. If you're worried, I can help you hold her hands and feet down..."

The fox spirit on the ground became increasingly clear-headed as she thought about it, and even began to show an eager impulse on her face.

Immediately, Rainbow Serpent and Enzabi, who had been acting as spectators, froze upon hearing this.

"Ugh, but this seems like too much trouble, I'll pass..."

The few innocent bystanders who were caught in the crossfire breathed a sigh of relief, their spirits lifted.

He's the supreme god who illuminates the earth, with an image of justice and impartiality, how could he possibly...?

"Since the entire divine kingdom is now under our control, let's just brand them all!"

This time, everyone's face turned green.

Chapter Eighty-Four: The Laws of the Devil

A muffled, thunderous explosion interrupted Tamamo-no-Mae's malicious reverie.

"Migu!" The fox spirit, brutally murdered, couldn't help but let out a mournful cry, looking resentfully at the figure beside her. Her alluring eyes seemed to hold unspeakable grievances. "I was only thinking of you, my darling. You don't appreciate it, and why do you have to bully me..."

Facing this pitiful, stunningly beautiful woman, Samael raised his hand again without expression.

"Bang bang bang bang!"

The arm, striking repeatedly, left afterimages in mid-air, and the wooden fish that was being "struck" almost shot out sparks.

"Ouch, it hurts! Stop, stop please!" Realizing that feigning helplessness wouldn't work, the cunning fox spirit accepted reality and covered her smoking head with both hands, squatting on the ground and pleading with the cold-blooded tyrant with teary eyes: "It hurts so much! Tamamo wants to go home..."

Seeing that this troublemaking fox was still acting coy, Samael sneered with a dark face, "Going home? Nasuno or Ama-Iwato? Do you want me to take you?"

As he spoke, he pulled out his most prized possession—the Destiny Tablet.

"Snapped!"

Tamamo-no-Mae, who was crouching on the ground, suddenly sprang up with lightning speed and grabbed Samael's raised hand.

Entering Nasuno means becoming the Sessho-seki (Killing Stone), while choosing the Ten-iwado means being locked in a dark room. She's not stupid; she naturally knows the correct answer.

A hint of reproach and shyness appeared on Tamamo-no-Mae's face, her golden eyes filled with affection: "Wherever my darling is, that's my home. How could I bear to leave you?"

At the same time, the proud softness beneath the kimono leaned against the arm of the man beside her and rubbed intimately, while the nine-tailed fox behind her, which had been raging fiercely, withdrew its divine power and obediently drooped down.

In the dim light, the people on the gun tower seemed to see a gentle fox terrier.

However, Samael merely sneered as he retrieved the Destiny Tablet, dismissing such flattery and attempts at intimacy with disdain.

Having lived together for thousands of years, he knew this dead fox's nature all too well.

Beneath that seemingly gentle and charming exterior lies a wicked heart that is always eager to rise to the top.

It's like a canine that has just been collared and whose wild nature has not yet been tamed.

If she ever lets her guard down and seizes the opportunity, this vixen will definitely break free of her ropes and take control of the situation.

The reason she's being so obedient right now is because she's been tricked by herself and has no choice but to face Izanami-no-Mikoto, who is seeking revenge, and she's been greatly weakened.

The divine tablet in her hand brought her a slight sense of awe and awe.

Otherwise, given this dead fox's nature, she'll definitely cause trouble after completing her divine integration and nine-tailed transformation.
