Hermes wore wooden clogs and walked on the noisy streets.
He was covered in a robe printed with cherry blossoms, a turban with sleeves, and a black cloth veil on his face, with only his two eyes exposed.
It's winter, and Edo Castle is covered with white snow.
Most of the buildings here are made of wood. On both sides of the street, wooden buildings are built one after another, with no space for people to pass by.
Falling snow accumulated, and the wooden roof creaked under the pressure.
The sun was hanging high in the sky, and the sunlight did not bring warmth to the city.
The streets are filled with izakayas and food shops, and the aroma of meat wafts among the crowds.
Hermes came to a small noodle shop, sat on a stool, and said: "Boss, let's have a bowl of ramen."
On the way here, he devoured the soul of a Japanese man, grabbed the Japanese information from the other person's memory, and quickly mastered the language.
The owner of the ramen restaurant is a middle-aged man with a big belly and hair on his face. When he sees the customers coming, he grins, showing his yellow teeth.
"Guest, please wait a moment. It will be ready in a moment."
He threw the ramen noodles into the pot, stirred twice, waited for the noodles to be cooked, put them into the bowl, cut the meat slices on the side, piled them on the ramen noodles, brought them over, put them on the guests' table, rubbed his hands, and said, "Guest, please
use."
This bowl of ramen is steaming hot and fragrant with meat, which will greatly increase your appetite on a cold and snowy day.
However, Hermes did not move his chopsticks. In his eyes, the bowl of noodles appeared red.
The meat on the cutting board was not cooked and was bloody.
Behind the kitchen door, there is a Japanese woman tied up with one leg missing.
"Why don't the guests eat?" the boss asked, rubbing his hands.
Hermes turned to look at the ramen boss and found that his eyes were glowing green and had strange vertical pupils. He had a tail hidden under his clothes, dragging it on the ground and swinging back and forth.
"This noodle is not delicious."
As Hermes spoke, he suddenly reached out and grabbed the boss's face, pulled hard, and tore off his face.
"Rat demon?" Hermes frowned.
The rat demon pretending to be the owner of the ramen restaurant showed a ferocious look on his face: "Seeking death!"
The noodles in the bowl suddenly changed back to their original appearance, turning into dense long hair, rolling towards Hermes.
Hermes grabbed the long hair that came from the attack, yanked hard, and actually pulled a long-haired female ghost out of the noodle bowl.
With a "Teng" sound, flames appeared in the hands, spread along the long hair, and attached to the female ghost's body.
"ah!"
The female ghost screamed miserably, but in just a moment, she was burned into black ashes by the strange flames.
The rat demon was startled, his eyes rolled around, and he suddenly shouted: "Gentlemen, a guest is coming!"
Bang bang bang!
On both sides of the street, the doors of izakayas and restaurants were smashed open, and hundreds of people rushed out, staring directly at Hermes with their eyes naked.
Hermes looked around and found that these "people" were all transformed into monsters and ghosts. He frowned slightly and asked, "Has Edo City been invaded by evil things?"
The sound of dense footsteps came from far and near, and a dense crowd came running through the snow. They were dressed in black and had sabers on their waists, and they looked menacing.
The leader knelt down on the ground, slid over by inertia, and knelt down to kowtow to these evil spirits and ghosts: "Dear gods, I let this foreigner break into Edo City and disturbed the pleasure of all the gods. I, I
guilty!"
A one-eyed monk walked over, knocked the wooden fish, and said: "If you are guilty, you should be punished. You can send three hundred boys and girls over to make up for your sins."
"Thank you Master Qingfang for your mercy!" the man said, and kowtowed in fear, "I will send people to search for them right away. Within today, three hundred boys and girls will be sent."
Master Qingfang nodded with satisfaction, "As expected of the city lord, he is very responsible. I heard that you have married a beautiful wife again. After I deal with this foreigner, I will go to your mansion to help your wife chant sutras and pray for blessings."
The face of the Lord of Edo Castle changed, but he quickly suppressed the anger in his heart and said flatteringly: "Thanks to Lord Aobo for looking up to me, I am very honored!"
Master Qingbo nodded with satisfaction, turned to look at Hermes, and asked: "Foreigner, how do you want to die?"
"A mere little demon dares to call himself a god."
Hermes looked at these monsters and ghosts and shook his head in disappointment, "If the eight million gods in Japan are like you, then my trip will be in vain."
"Bold foreigner, even on the verge of death, he still talks nonsense!"
"Kill him!"
More than a hundred monsters and ghosts rushed towards him.
Hermes didn't panic at all, he held his right hand emptyly, and a magic staff appeared in his hand.
The main body of the staff is made of gold and is engraved with a pair of golden wings. There are two snakes intertwined on the staff, so it is also called the double snake staff.
Hermes inserted the double snake divine staff into the ground, and a terrifying divine power surged out from the divine staff, forming a circular shock wave that surged around.
Wherever they passed, many monsters and ghosts suddenly stiffened and fell straight down. The warriors in black who were kneeling on the ground also fell to the ground one after another.
The shock wave of divine power continued to push into the distance, and countless monsters, evil spirits, and countless Japanese people all fell to the ground.
The entire Edo Castle fell into deathly silence.
Immediately afterwards, snoring could be heard in countless wooden buildings, on the streets, and in izakayas.
Countless snores came and went.
"Not here?" Hermes frowned slightly, "In that case, you are in for a treat."
After hearing this, the two snakes wrapped around the staff suddenly spat out their tongues, left the staff, and turned into two hundred-meter-long giant pythons, swallowing all the monsters and monsters in their bellies.
.
Giant pythons roamed Edo, countless wooden buildings collapsed, and countless temples were destroyed.
Just then.
A voice sounded in the sky:
"Since the divine envoy is here, why don't you come and have a drink at Ise Shrine?"
Hermes looked up and saw a female god floating in the air. Behind her was a huge palace.
Feeling the fluctuations of divine power on the opponent's body, Hermes nodded with satisfaction, recalled the two giant pythons that were wreaking havoc in Edo, and flew to the side of the female god with the double snake staff, "Are you Amaterasu?"
Amaterasu Omikami smiled indifferently and made a gesture of invitation, "My God, please."
In Ise Jingu Shrine.
Hermes followed Amaterasu's example, knelt down on the couch, took the drink brought by the other party, took a sip, and shook his head, "It's too bland, just like drinking water. Amaterasu should go to the Olympics."
So, the God King will definitely entertain you with the strongest wine."
Bang!
Susano'o slapped the table, "Don't push yourself too far, do you really think I, Takamagahara, am afraid of you?!"
"Shut up!" Amaterasu Omikami shouted coldly.
Susano'o wanted to say something else, but he gritted his teeth and finally did not speak again. He only glared at Hermes fiercely, got up and left angrily.
Amaterasu Omikami poured another glass of wine, held it in both hands and handed it over, "My brother is ignorant, please don't mind me."
Hermes did not take the wine glass and said: "I am ordered by the God King of Olympus to bring help to Gao Tianyuan."
He took off the leather bag from his waist, opened it, and poured out the contents.
