Chapter 822: Bypassing the Red Tape
Perhaps she had completed her mission, as Iwanagahime's figure in a colorful robe exploded in the light in the stone egg and disappeared like melting snow.
But the glow in the stone chamber did not diminish at all, but became even more intense and dazzling, illuminating the dim palace space as bright as day. The white light continued to spread upwards, revealing the vast sky before everyone's eyes.
That's right.
Although they were indoors, Kamiya and his group could clearly see the deep sky.
The cramped and oppressive atmosphere of the palace disappeared, replaced by a wonderful feeling of emptiness and loftiness. The surrounding carved stone walls collapsed and rumbled up into the sky.
The earth and rocks that rushed into the air began to reshape themselves. Huge carved stones were hung upside down and connected to each other, and the roar was endless.
Kamiyagawa looked around intently.
He discovered that it was not just the palace that was crumbling, but the entire Shuisui Kingdom was being dismantled by an indescribable force, with loose soil and rubble rushing up to the sky. In the blink of an eye, Shuisui Kingdom was flattened and looked desolate.
The layers of clouds in the sky present a crimson color at dusk, like a dream.
A strong wind blew away some of the clouds above, revealing the scenery clearly.
What was revealed before everyone was an upside-down city-state in the sky and a palace in the clouds.
The eaves point to the earth, the majestic palace is suspended in the air, the broken buildings sway in the dim light of the setting sun, and the ethereal singing is accompanied by the falling of earth and rocks from great heights.
Unlike the capital of Mizuho Province that Kamiya and his party had personally visited, this capital city rebuilt in the sky was like a mirage, both real and illusory, erratic and uncertain. It was a complete fantasy existence, glorious, prosperous and extremely solemn.
Moreover, compared with the capital on earth, the capital in the sky has a more eternal feel.
Kamiya River and Yatagarasu, who were standing on the desolate ground, looked up at this shocking scene. As for Iha, who had regained consciousness, he could not utter a word, but instinctively grabbed the hem of Kamiya's haori and refused to let go.
The singing from high above continued.
I couldn't hear the lyrics, just the humming of the original chant. Then, another solemn and towering voice, like the sound of a huge bell, suddenly blended into the chanting:
"The day of awakening has come."
In the city-state hanging upside down in the sky, a huge and dazzling figure appeared.
The giant seemed to have no flesh and blood body, but was an energy body composed of pure light. He stood in the clouds, looking down upon the barren land. The great and vast divine aura he carried made Iwa and even Yatagarasu feel the urge to bow down and worship him.
Kamiya Kawa had experienced similar pressure from a superior once before.
It was the time when Taira Masakado did it, but the pressure that Taira Masakado could exert on the "Demon Emperor" around him was nothing compared to what was happening now.
"Prajna!"
Kamiyagawa also realized this and quickly summoned Prajna, and the Nuo mask that could command evil spirits and monsters appeared on his face.
Prajna is already a god, and the power exuded by the incarnation mask is naturally incomparable to that of the Aragami period. In addition, Kamiya Kawaki is the "actual ruler" of the three god residences. Although he has not yet officially become the leader of ghosts and gods, he is not inferior to anyone in terms of the ability to become a king.
When Kamiya and Prajna combine together, they become a spiritual flag flying at the scene.
The Yatagarasu instantly got rid of its abnormal state, and even Iha was just shaking and trembling, but did not make any further abnormal movements.
Very good, we didn’t lose in momentum!
The words of the Shining Giant continued to fall from the sky: "I should offer you congratulations. Your birth, your sacrifice, are all part of the ritual of my awakening. Feel the glory of this, my offspring, my flesh and blood. But... that thing beside you, huh, interesting, it is the breath of Takamagahara."
"King of Takamagahara, when did you become so miserable? You have no bones. Are you coming to the capital of Mizuho to seek my bones?" The giant's solemn voice revealed a hint of pleasure, as if he was relieved by the changes that happened in Takamagahara. "New king of heaven, I am Oanamuchi, and I am Okuninushi who rules over Awahara."
This shining giant is Okuninushi.
Kamiyagawa understood clearly that the person Okuninushi was talking to before was not him, but Iwa who was beside him.
It was similar to what Princess Iwanaga said just now, the so-called offspring and flesh and blood also referred to Iwa. The previous guess was correct, the protagonist who could awaken Okuninushi mentioned in the prophecy was actually this little boy.
only……
Does Ibo have the qualities to become a king?
Maybe.
After all, judging from the information we have now, Iwa seems to be the descendant of Okuninushi, and also the "meat cauldron" that revived Okuninushi.
But compared with his ancestors, his abilities are probably insignificant.
It's the level where you can be killed instantly at the first sight.
In today's world, the only one who can compare with Okuninushi in "royal weapon" is probably Kamiyagawa.
If Kamiyagawa was not here, perhaps everything that happened in the capital of Mizuho would have developed in accordance with Okuninushi's arrangements and wishes.
But then again, of the three sacred artifacts that Okuninushi wanted to revive, the An Fang Huangquanjin was in Mizuho Province, and the Tian Zhaoqin was in Iwa's place. Only the last raw bow and arrow, who was lost in some way, was accidentally obtained by Kamiya River.
If Kamiyagawa had not brought the raw bow and arrows into Mizuho Province, Okuninushi would not have woken up.
Perhaps in the dark, the quasi-leader of ghosts and gods and the former Emperor Awahara, two beings with similar levels of "royal weapons", were destined to meet.
And two kings on the road to becoming kings, even if they have many similarities, probably cannot live in peace with each other.
There is no room for two tigers in one mountain.
In the territory of Izumo, only one king is enough.
"Since Takama-ga-hara has changed its owner, why not let me take it!"
Sure enough, Okuninushi's voice rang out again, and along with his bell-like voice, there came a dazzling, blazing, and incomparably pure beam of light, rushing from top to bottom towards where Kamiya River was!
Ever since the capital of Mizuho was sealed in the eternity controlled by Iwanagahime, Okuninushi has been isolated from the outside world.
But the appearance of Kamiyagawa made him understand a lot at once——
The capital of Mizuho is in eternity, where time does not flow. And because of Iwanagahime's power and the Tenshokoto, the chosen Iwa is always bound to this eternal space.
But in the world outside of eternity, that is, the real world where the "New King of Takamagahara" exists, the passage of time is not affected.
Since a new king has emerged in Takama-ga-hara, and he is not a true god, it means that a huge change has taken place in the old Takama-ga-hara.
Maybe it’s because Huang Quan was not defeated?
Maybe it was because they fought with Huang Quan and both of them suffered heavy losses?
But no matter what, this is an opportunity, an opportunity for the Kingdom of God on earth to counterattack the Kingdom of God in heaven.
If those pedantic old gods in heaven are no longer around, then I, Okuninushi, will naturally take their place!
Boom!
Kamiya reacted quickly, leaping to dodge the moment the beam of light hit him, while at the same time pushing Iwa behind him towards the Yatagarasu.
The latter flapped his wings and took Ibo into the air.
The three of them escaped from Okuninushi's attack range in time, and the place where the dazzling beam of light hit was left with only a charred area.
When Kamiya Kawa landed, Ibaraki's ghost hand had already floated out from the right side of his body, with black flames blazing, and the ferocious ghost claws had already grasped the ghostly Onikiri. In addition, the remaining two demon masks of Prajna, the smiling face and the jealous face, were also exhaled at the same time, vividly whistling around Kamiya Kawa.
Three masks are attached at the same time, providing three different levels of bonuses together.
This is a huge breakthrough that Prajna has achieved in assisting her own man after becoming a god.
Kamiyagawa is very strong now!
"That's just right."
The two swords rose up with a humming sound, and brilliant thunder burst out from under the gorgeous array feathers. Kamiyagawa was in high spirits.
"Yatadori, keep an eye on Iwa!"
He shouted towards the Yatagarasu.
Iwa's background has now been revealed. Since he is the offspring and flesh bowl of Okuninushi, if he can be controlled, it would be better to keep him in one's hands, which would be like having an extra bargaining chip.
After saying this, Kamiyagawa immediately leaped over the upside-down stairs and stone walls in the air and rushed towards the shining giant in the center of the aerial city-state.
As he launched the attack, the Heavenly Palace shed its dreamy outer layer, revealing its dangerous interior full of murderous intent. The original hymn-like chanting could no longer be heard, and dazzling beams of light continued to fall from high above, exploding in front of and around Kamiya Kawa, and debris of earth and rocks flew everywhere.
The voice of Okuninushi became clearer and clearer in the chaotic symphony, rumbling like thunder.
"I am the Okuninushi who unified the Awahara. I have awakened and am once again striding across the Awahara land. I will do good, and I will do evil; I will bring slaughter, and I will bring salvation. This time, I will destroy the corrupt old world and the gods in heaven. I will unify the Izumo, I will restore glory, and make the Awahara Kingdom prosper forever!"
"Without further ado!"
Kamiyagawa's footsteps passed over the pavilion, and behind him, the broken buildings collapsed, with rubble and tiles flying everywhere.
Although they did not exchange a few words after the meeting with Okuninushi, the two sides tacitly started fighting.
But Kamiya Kawa had already seen clearly that as soon as the first Human Emperor woke up, he assessed the situation and saw at a glance that Takama-ga-hara was no longer the same as before, and then wanted to get his hands on the God's residence in heaven.
It is also possible that Okuninushi has always been aware of the fierce battle between Old Takama-ga-hara and Yomi, and has been waiting for both sides to suffer heavy losses from the beginning to the end?
In short, what a strong ambition this is.
But when it comes to ambition, I'm no less ambitious.
So, this is perfect, let's talk openly. Go ahead and cut through the red tape -
If you kill me, you will take the abode of God in heaven; if I kill you, I will collect your bones!
Very fair.
"Mary!" "Inugami!"
