On the ruins of scattered stones, two figures were fighting fiercely, and the clanging sound of knives colliding together was like torrential raindrops, noisy and dense.
With every collision, the sword energy that burst out would leave a terrifying crack on the ground that was more than ten meters long and several meters deep. Because the original shrine could not withstand the aftermath of such a battle, it collapsed early and shattered into pieces.
.
In such a scene, it is hard to believe that the two beautiful girls are fighting here. Rather, it is more like the Cretaceous overlord Tyrannosaurus rex and its natural enemy Spinosaurus in a life-and-death fight!
At this moment, facing the fierce offensive of the clone, Otonashi Cheyuki defended calmly. The irreconcilable world formed a dark fan-shaped field in her hands. Every slash that the opponent intruded into was like a mud cow entering the sea. It was so easy
be resolved by it.
The clone also realized this. The next moment, she paused with the sword in her hand, abruptly changed her moves, and went straight to the weakest point in Otonashi Cheyuki's defensive moves. She was so fast that she left an afterimage in the blink of an eye.
Then he stabbed it several times.
Katcha!
The next second, the sworn defensive area was unexpectedly breached. Otonashi Cheyuki was also repelled by the opponent's sword, and fell to the remaining half of the wall of the shrine behind her like a kite with its string cut off.
Unable to calm down the chaotic atmosphere, he immediately jumped to the side, avoiding the clone's pursuit.
However, after the hit failed, the clone did not rush to continue the pursuit. Instead, he turned sideways, holding the knife and looking coldly at Otonashi Cheyuki behind him. Takeda Hikari came from the white ribbon tied around his neck again.
exclamation.
"It seems that I have underestimated Fujinzhong's technical capabilities."
"I originally thought that this clone's ability to hold you down would be her limit, but judging from the current situation, maybe she can really deal with you."
"Sure enough, when facing an opponent like this who knows all about your situation, even Otonashi feels helpless, right?"
At this moment, even when faced with such a situation, Otonashi Chexue's reaction was still calm and she spoke calmly.
"At your wits' end?"
"I don't think things are that bad yet."
"At least, I still have the means to determine the winner."
While speaking, she slowly raised the Inseparable Heaven in her hand above her head, and grasped the handle of the knife with ten fingers.
At the same time, huge spiritual energy began to gather around her, and the accompanying pressure formed dark whirlpools around her, with her as the center, and the momentum became more and more intense.
During the turbulence of the wind, most of Otonashi Cheyuki's spiritual power had gathered on the sworn enemy, and the dark fluctuations formed a layer of fine arcs, beating and flickering fiercely on the blade.
At this moment, Otonashi Chexue's eyes were locked on the clone in front of her, and then she held her breath and concentrated, speaking slowly one word after another.
"Heaven, food..."
Seeing this scene, Takeda Hikaru couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
"Oh? Do you want to decide the outcome in this way? It really doesn't seem like your style."
"However, have you forgotten what I said before? All the skills you have mastered are also mastered by this copy."
As he spoke, the clone also raised the sword in his hand.
While the spiritual power was gathering, he spoke slowly in his mouth.
"Heaven, food..."
In the next second, the two women drank the remaining move names almost at the same time.
"One knife!"
Following their voices, the two slashes were separated from the blades, and huge waves of dark light flooded the mountain peaks, turning into two giant dragons that roared and roared forward to attack.
The next moment, light waves collided between the two people, but there was no scene where one party defeated the other as imagined. Instead, a clear boundary was formed in the middle, and there was a fierce stalemate there.
Seeing this, Otonashi Cheyuki and the clone gritted their teeth, and immediately increased the input of spiritual power in unison, causing the already huge momentum to expand again. Even the mountain peaks under their feet were flattened by the burst of energy.
However, despite the fierce scene, Hikari Takeda, who was watching the battle, was not too worried.
Because according to Fukujin's promise, there is no slight difference between this clone and Otonashi Cheyuki, and it is completely consistent with the original strength.
In other words, the power of the Heavenly Eclipse Sword they displayed was exactly the same.
So the result of this wave battle will definitely end in a draw——
However, the next second, something happened that shocked both the clone and Takeda Hikaru.
I saw that the dark light wave that was originally stalemate in the middle suddenly began to move towards the clone bit by bit.
Seeing this, the clone's eyes, which had always been expressionless, couldn't help but become a little unbelievable.
She frowned and continued to increase the output of her spiritual power without believing in evil, trying to regain her disadvantage.
However, this is just in vain.
Even if the clone tried its best, the speed of the light wave movement did not slow down at all. On the contrary, it even became faster and faster, and it was in front of the clone in the blink of an eye.
Looking at the dark wave representing destruction and death that was so close to Chi Chi, at this moment, the clone's arms were visibly trembling, and for the first time, a look of horror appeared on his pretty face.
The next moment, her whole body was completely submerged in it.
boom!
!
In an instant, the mountains collapsed, the earth trembled, and powerful dark waves shot up into the sky, like ghost hands stretching out from Naraku Hell, tearing apart the dense dark clouds in the sky, revealing the vast night sky behind it.
After everything calmed down, Otonashi Cheyuki let go of the irreconcilable fate in her hands.
He moved his feet and rushed towards a place where there was still some residual spiritual power.
...
In the bottomless ravine created by the Celestial Eclipse's sword, a small crystal that had been mostly damaged was lying on the ground, emitting a faint white light.
This is the core of the replica, which had been hidden under the white ribbon tied around its neck.
After enduring the earth-shattering blow just now, the clone's appearance was completely destroyed, and its core was exposed as a last resort.
At this moment, Otonashi Che's snow fell on the edge of the core, and then walked towards it.
When he saw Otonashi Cheyuki's figure, Takeda Hikaru's voice sounded intermittently in his core.
"Yin...wu, why?"
"Why, you will win?"
Otonashi Chexue suddenly raised her arms and wrote lightly.
"Do you even need to ask? When facing a wave, you should stand on the right side. This is basic common sense in combat."
"Otherwise, why do you think I was knocked away so easily just now? Is there no other reason besides occupying a favorable position?"
Hearing this, Takeda Hikari couldn't help but remain silent for a few seconds.
"I didn't expect that you could even learn to joke. Is this also the change he brought to you?"
Otonashi Chexue put down her hand and nodded indifferently.
"Well, just to put it into perspective, it's his words. I'm afraid he would really say such offending words."
"However, what I just said is not completely unreasonable."
"Judging from my position just now, behind me is the direction of the Yinshi Shrine. I know very well that it can be easily destroyed with the power of the Sky Eclipse Sword."
"In other words, if I fail to take the move just now, Yinshi Shrine will be wiped out from the world by the sword of the eclipse."
She paused for a moment, then continued.
"I think when you set up this replica, the enemies you set for her should be all those who are enemies of Yinshi Shrine."
"And once she defeats me, she will become the culprit of destroying Yinshi Shrine. In other words, she will become her own enemy."
"After that, he fell into chaos because of this and was unable to exert his full strength, so he was easily defeated by me."
"Is that so?"
After hearing this, Takeda Hikaru suddenly realized it and sighed helplessly.
"You're still as sharp as ever, Otonashi."
"But those words just now were all analyzed by you from the perspective of Ye Shenkong, right?"
"If possible, I would rather hear your answer in person."
"My answer?"
Otonashi Chexue thought for a while and then said calmly.
"Then I will tell you, I will definitely win."
Before Takeda Hikaru could ask any more questions, in the next moment, she waved her sword and cut off the crystal in front of her.
Looking at Mohu's pretty face reflected in the debris on the ground, he said softly.
"Because actually, even I don't know how strong I am."
...
Yinshi Shrine.
Looking at the torches going out one after another around him, Ye Shenkong couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and asked.
"Miyaji Takeda, it seems that the situation has changed, right?"
"yes."
At this moment, Takeda Hikaru put his hands behind his back, let out a long sigh, shook his head and said.
"I lost this bet. I lost everything."
"Whatever you want to know, just ask."
Regarding this, Yashenkong was not polite and spoke straightforwardly.
"Tell me your purpose."
"The purpose..."
Hearing this, Takeda Hikari's eyes became a little more melancholy. Instead of answering Yagami Sora's question, he walked to the window and asked.
"Yakami Sora, do you know the difference between gods and humans?"
Without waiting for Ye Shenkong to answer, he spoke again.
"It's the level of life."
"Gods will distribute power to humans, teach humans what virtue is, help humans broaden their horizons, and get rid of disasters. The reason for all this is simply because they are at a higher level of life and are closer to purity than us humans.
That’s why he made this kind act that is completely incomprehensible from a human perspective.”
His voice paused for a few seconds and asked again.
"So Yagami Sora, do you know what the similarities between gods and humans are?"
Hearing this, Ye Shenkong's eyebrows wrinkled slightly, as if he thought of something.
But he did not speak, but looked at Takeda Hikari.
Takeda Hikaru took a deep breath and looked out the window at the lonely night sky. There was a look of sadness in his eyes, and he lamented.
"Yes, even if the levels are different, life is still life after all."
"So gods will also face death."
"And just like us humans, their souls will continue to drift unconsciously on the other side after death until they completely dissipate or usher in the next reincarnation."
"The Sword Comes"
The next moment, his tone changed, and the power of faith was re-infused into his voice, and he spoke passionately.
"However, Abe's latest research proves that the souls of powerful creatures can persist on the other side longer after they die than we fragile humans."
"Just like the Yamata no Orochi, it has persisted in the other shore for thousands of years without dissipating. It even absorbed the power of the other shore and produced the evolution of life."
"In other words, for the gods, as long as they can find a way, they can bring their souls back to this world again before they dissipate."
Hearing this, the expression on Ye Shenkong's face couldn't help but be a little surprised, and he couldn't help but say.
"That is to say..."
"That's right, just as you think in your mind right now."
Takeda Hikaru nodded and affirmed.
"Tonight, I will resurrect a god."
Suddenly, the shrine became silent.
Looking at Takeda Hikaru's figure gradually hiding in the darkness, Yagamisu took out a breath slowly, emptied his lungs of shock, and then asked.
"So, which god is Takeda Miyaji planning to resurrect?"
"Don't worry, he's not some vicious god of trouble." Takeda Hikaru smiled.
He paused for a few seconds and asked again.
"Judging from what you just said, Ye Shenkong, you should have met the chief priest, right?"
"Amaterasu Omikami? Yes, I just met her recently." Yagami nodded.
Hearing this, Takeda Hikaru couldn't help but feel a little sad and sighed.
"That's really good luck. After all, even I, the priest, haven't been able to see the main priest in person."
"I think the officiant must be a beautiful, noble and elegant goddess, right?"
Ye Shenkong thought about this carefully, then affirmed part of it and nodded.
"Well, it is indeed beautiful."
"Really, if that's the case, you might be able to understand why I did this." Takeda Hikaru said with a smile.
"Because what I want to resurrect tonight is her blood relative, a goddess who is as noble and elegant as her, and even surpasses her."
While speaking, Takeda Hikari's eyes showed a hint of obsession and yearning, and he said solemnly.
