Superpowers of Sky City

Chapter 197 The Battle of Weiyuan Myth (4)

Ashihara Castle on Yamato Island is the capital of Zero Island. Most contemporary Zero Island people regard it as a synonym for a giant city, but few people know its name in the past.

Before Zero Island was divided into three, Ashihara Castle already existed, and its name was Fengweiyuan Qianwuqiu Ruisui Country at that time.The gods sit in the mysterious vortex, the souls of the dead return to the dark underworld, while human beings live on the ground, living in the gap between the vortex and the underworld.At first, there were no houses in the cracks, and it was barren. It was the ancient gods who built the reed plain and bestowed it on the earth as a kingdom for people.

This kingdom was established by the gods, and naturally it also belongs to the gods.That god is not only the god of Ashihara, but also the god of the human world.Therefore, the priests respected His name with a majestic title: the country is as big as your life.

The common people couldn't remember such a complicated name, so they took another short and easy-to-remember title, and called him "Lord of the Great Country" when offering sacrifices.

"This is the origin of the country's great self and life, do you still have doubts?"

"No!" The programmers of Xilang Electronics replied in unison, even the reflection on the bald head was almost bright.Gu Qiao, the department manager leading the team, rubbed his hands, bowed and said with a smile, "Thank you very much for your explanation!"

The priest of Huangquan Shrine nodded in satisfaction, and explained the origin of the fox god (the god of imperial food) to them.Gu Qiao guessed that the priest used to be a member of the underworld, otherwise there would be no reason why he returned to work in good spirits just after being thrown into the cash box a few days ago, looking like he was about to die.

Furuhashi remembered what happened five days ago again, and remembered the gang of terrifying motorcycle gangsters and the three young men who set off from the shrine.Looking back now, he is convinced that he witnessed the beginning of something, and it must be something that he has never been able to touch in his life, and he should not be able to touch it.Thinking of this, Guqiao felt a little inexplicable panic.

He waited for the priest to finish another paragraph, and asked with a respectful smile, "I'm sorry, sir. Excuse me, is today... is it an auspicious day for us to leave for Weiyuan?" Gu Qiao was afraid that the underworld priest would blame him, so he hurriedly added. "Everyone misses our club very much."

The underworld priest gave him a strange look, but without saying anything, he stretched out his hand and opened the curtain.

Furuhashi and the programmers are standing in the inner hall of Huangquan Shrine to listen to the teaching at this moment. This window is facing north, towards Yamato Island.They glanced out the window from afar.

"aieeeeeeee!"

All the honest programmers screamed!The world outside the window seems to be divided into two by an invisible blade, half of which is scarlet blood curtain, and the other half is silver-white holy light.Two inexplicably great forces divided the sky, and entangled fiercely at the dividing line.The power struggle was so fierce, it reminded him of the bite of wild beasts, like two fierce beasts that could devour the kingdom fighting over Zero Island!

The priest calmly drew the curtains. "Mr. Guqiao, you have also seen it. There is a super crossbow-level weather disaster in Weiyuan City today. After the disaster passes, everyone will be able to return to their hometown safely."

"aieeee..." Guqiao said tremblingly, "is that, gas, a weather disaster?"

The priest patted the middle-aged man on the back like a gangster, and smiled kindly: "Of course it's a meteorological disaster! Everyone's technology has helped the shrine so much, how could we lie to you?"

help?help why?Isn't the project they came here to do to improve Feng Shui and attract customers with a large cyber and electronic array?
At this time, the prompt sound when the formation was activated sounded from the direction of the main hall of the shrine, and the sound and light effect was so great that they could feel it through the wall.

Gu Qiao told himself that he must not think about it any more, and just acted as if he didn't know anything.The worried middle-aged social animal clasped his hands together and prayed. While rejoicing that he made the right decision to bring his family members on a business trip, he prayed for the safety of those young people who seemed to be related to this matter.

Little did he know that one of the young men who had come out of the Underworld Shrine was confronting the god who had built Ashihara.Her complexion was very bad, almost ashen.

·
"Lonely Appearance. Cherry blossoms in full bloom at the moment of silence."

Her ears do not deceive herself.Sakura Mai's method of impermanence is Jixiang, but this sounds too ridiculous.

Sakura Wu's real body is the country's master, this is the fact that Rina learned from her grandmother yesterday.She will become the ninja of Wuhui Junfeng, the result of an extreme plan designed by the big shots of Zero Island during the secret war at the end of the last century.

This involves a secret transaction between many forces, and Rina has no interest in it.She only understands one thing, the country is the god that symbolizes Zero Island, and her impermanence should be the misfortune of fate, not the stillness of death!

"Why do you use the impermanence method of silence?!"

Sakura Wu reached out and caught a falling petal.

"This country is dying, Rina."

She opened her mouth softly, and she was clearly facing the witch, but her eyes seemed to pass through her body, looking further afield.

"The people struggling in the abyss have long been numb, and the decisions of the superiors have been wrong again and again. The infinite tragedy created the red devil, and returned the sorrow and pain to the country that made her born."

The cherry blossoms fell slowly, and Rina hurriedly swung around with a long stick to protect her, but she didn't feel any impact, as if it was really just fallen petals, falling with the wind and blending into the brown soil.

"Everyone is no longer looking at the future, but only at the end. What is achieved at the cost of death is not a feat, but a splendid firework." Sakura dance blows off the petals, "My heart is the image of Zero Island. status quo."

"What strange things are you talking about...!"

The Fushimi Hana she was familiar with, that old friend who often took her to play when she was young, would never say such inexplicable words.What is Sakura Mai thinking?
Ying Wu's heart changed strangely, she repeatedly emphasized that she is a god... Of course the Lord of the Kingdom is one of the 800 million gods... Hidden God... Is it a wish?
"Are you standing by Shigure Watami's side to fulfill your wish?"

"I have long since lost my wish, and only my responsibilities remain." Sakura Wu lowered her eyes, "This country is about to die, so I will be the one to bury it."

Rina had a bad premonition, the knotty stick in her hand suddenly became strangely light, as if part of the weight had disappeared inexplicably.She temporarily blows Huayu away with a powerful blow, and carefully observes the outside of the knotty stick.

Her weapons are made from the core of cypress from the shrine.Shimenawa is tied to the branches of this tree all the year round. As a boundary between the inside and outside, it is enshrined and respected by the priests every day, and it naturally has the intention of protecting it.However, no one grows as fast as a tree, and if one tree is cut down, one tree will be lost.This stick has been used as a weapon since Grandma Rina's generation, and it was passed down from generation to generation before it came into her hands.

Rina has always cared for her weapon, and regularly finds craftsmen for maintenance, but this long-standing stick was damaged today.The smooth white surface of the knotty sticks now has an unhealthy dark yellow, and the heads of the most used sticks are sunken and soft, like rotten trees.The surface of the iron chain connecting the stick joints was dark red, whining and shattering as if weathered!

Rina gritted her teeth and put away the stick, ignoring the weapon she loved, she shrunk the knotty stick to the height of her body, took the white shield from her back, and marched forward against the attack of Death Sakura.

"We're going to save the country when we're about to die! Do we need to talk about such a simple truth?!"

Dozens of paper knives prepared in advance shot at the ninja, but they fell to the ground without even touching her hair.The excessive speed made Sakura Wu look like she was teleporting, and Death Sakura turned into a light-like samurai sword in her hands.

"The gods follow..." Yingwu raised the knife, "It is the principle of the God of Fujin."

Rina hid her body behind the shield and attacked with a curved stick head. She was as cautious as a pikeman on an ancient battlefield.There is a piece of wordless talisman paper attached to the head of the knotty stick, as long as it is touched, it can copy the opponent's ability.Rina is aware of the gap in strength, so she doesn't seek to defeat the enemy, but only delays time.As long as God doesn't stop the action on the mountain, it will be her victory.

Corinne's plan failed.The white-haired ninja never took a step back, she blocked the blow of the stick with her left arm, and slashed with her sword with an indomitable momentum!

Rina fully believed that the white matter shield could help her block at least one blow. This confidence came from the short fight on the train. At that time, Gongsun Ce's white matter blocked Sakura Wu's several attacks before being broken.But this time her prediction was wrong.The death sakura's knife dissipated just before it intersected with the shield, and the fragmented petals reunited behind the shield to form a blade, cutting towards her chest.The weapon condensed by the petals is amorphous, she should have thought of this long ago!
Seeing that the blade was about to split her upper body in two, Rina threw the shield without hesitation.The white shield pushed forward like a wall, and the priestess backed away with the counterforce. Her body was slightly staggered from the blade of the death cherry, and only the blade of cherry color passed across the skin.

"Gu..."

Rina subconsciously sticks a new spell to the wound, hoping to take the opportunity to copy the power of Sakura Mai.But the touch from the palm was completely wrong.She didn't touch her own wounds and blood, but felt that the flesh under the robe was abnormally loose, and the skin was wrinkled like an old man of seventy years old.

Her body suddenly lost strength.Not fatigue, but weakness oozing from the bones.Rina found that she couldn't even hold the weapon, and the stick that used to be like an arm seemed so heavy at this time.Rina's legs went limp, and she collapsed on the ground. The witch's shiny black hair turned white in an instant, drying up like weeds.

Rina looked at the talisman in her hand, and in the gradually cloudy field of vision, she could vaguely see the gleaming golden word "Bai" on the talisman paper.

Aging... aging...the living perish...

She understood the appearance of Sakura Mai.Unlike the sharp petals of cherry blossoms when she was in a trance, her appearance does not have any physical destructive power, but it will make everything decline.The wood is rotten, the metal is aging, and decades of time pass by the moment the cherry blossoms fall, turning the young and beautiful girl into a white-haired and childlike old woman.

Death is the end of all visible things, the end that must come.

Rina fell helplessly into the sea of ​​flowers.This is the end. She borrowed the strength of her friends and tried every means to set up traps, but she was defeated only after a real fight with her opponent.Because her opponent is not only a skilled ninja leader, but also a god who is one with the human body.

Ying Wu didn't spare a way out for her opponent, she used one knife because one knife was enough.The rapidly aging body made Rina completely lose her fighting ability. Even if the curse balance blesses her with all-round ability improvement, it still needs a foundation to play.The reason why the witch is still alive is simply because she is still young, so death is still far away from her, and there are still a few breaths to come.

"..."

Ying Wu saw her former friend reaching forward and gently grasping the charm on the stick.The girl's once-smooth hands were shrunk unsightly now. The dark loose skin hung on the hand bones, and the decayed knuckles slowly curved. Her movements were so difficult, revealing the unwillingness in her bones.

Rina doesn't seem to care too much, but in fact, she has always been strong like this.She wants to learn from everyone's strengths, and she wants to be able to play a role at any time.This longing made her become a magician of emptiness, and she had a multi-faceted and exquisite mantra.

The basis of this method of impermanence is the principle she learned from her teacher. Tianji said that there are mysteries in the words. The warrior shouted when punching, and the method of impermanence made a declaration before using the ability, in order to express the emotions in the heart through words. real power.But in the end, words are no match for actual actions, and no matter how many tricks one has, they can't beat a manifested knife.

A girl with a bright future is going to die like this, all things are impermanent, nothing more.

"This is also the fate he wove."

Rina asked her wish earlier, but she had already lost her wish.

The straight gods worshiped by the six major shrines are also hidden gods, and they also have wishes, but their wishes are transformed into a higher "idea" under people's sacrifices.Just as the god of gourmet food wants to make business prosperous, he will not hinder the actions of merchants to make money; Izu can sell good luck for the good, and he will not give favor to the wicked.This is the reason for the existence of the gods, and it is also a law that they cannot violate.

Okunizu is the god of Zero Island and symbolizes the nation itself.Zero Island was about to perish, and her mind changed into a lonely state. The prime minister of Zero Island gave her instructions, and she had to follow them.Of course, a country must obey the orders of the ruler, and the incarnation of Zero Island will naturally obey the orders of the leader of Zero Island.

How absurd that the gods who created the country should in turn obey the orders of human beings!But Sakura Wu accepted all of this calmly, because this is Zero Island.Whether it is the eight million gods or human beings, all life, regardless of high or low, is always controlled by fate.The so-called autonomy and freedom never existed, and the god of misfortune sat in the whirlpool, making arrangements for every thread.

Everyone is involuntary.

"It's the same for you, you came here because of the arrangement of the shrine." The ninja sighed softly.

She no longer stays, but runs to the top of the mountain, to do her last strength for the Lord of Zero Island.

"We are here... because of our own will!"

But at this time, Yingwu heard a voice, a voice that shouldn't exist.That voice was crisp and clear, with the unique vitality of a young girl, without a trace of aging and decay!

"As a mere psychic envoy, why is there any need for combat power?" The girl smiled miserably, "To be honest, we should have gone back long ago when we left Chikushi Island. But we still followed along the way." ...Because I want to help them a little bit. Just watching those idiots come to Weiyuan City alone, what kind of friends are they!"

Sakura Wu turned her head vigilantly, and immediately raised the rain of dead cherry blossoms, causing the declining power to roll towards the girl like a wave.A golden light appeared out of thin air beside Kerina.The warm light forced Hua Yu back, and this power dispelled the influence of the dead cherry, allowing the girl to regain her vitality.

Rina smiled slyly like a little fox, holding the charm stuck to the end of the stick in her hand.The handwriting slowly emerging on the white paper does not represent the "decline" of the dead cherry, but the "country" of its real body!
"The tribute I gave was this battle, and the reward I got was the power of the great country lord. The words in the process were placed on the spells, and the sacrifice, that is, the transaction of the gods, was done like this!"

At the beginning of the battle, the paper knives that Ying Wu easily avoided scattered at the same time, and each knife character contained written words written in advance. When these words were combined, they became the incantations for worshiping the great country lord!

"Rina...!"

Sakura Mai is also a professional Miko, she immediately understood what the little Miko did.Rina replaced the proper verbal conversation with her own impermanence, and turned the battle itself into a ritual tribute. This blank spell returned to Rina with her power, symbolically marking the end of the transaction. The worship is complete!
But such a forced transaction can only have a symbolic meaning, it will not bring substantive power to Rina, it only means her own approval...

Sakura Wu realized that what she wanted was the approval of the Great Country Lord!

"What is inconvenient for the gods to do, let us, the priestesses, do it for you. We Shinto people originally existed for this purpose!"

Rina folded her hands together and clapped the spell in her hands.

"Izumo Rina, the shrine maiden of the Underworld Shrine, shoulders the power of the gods of the six major shrines, and serves as a shrine maiden in Izu. Today, Zero Island is in a state of life and death, and the lives of thousands of people are at stake."

"The Great Witch of the God of Misfortune, the God of Goodness in charge of good luck, Izu who returned from the underworld can be sold! Please put your soul into my heart, give your mighty power to my body, and save the country from destruction , end the ritual of 2000 years!"

·
At this moment, the six major shrines on Chikushi Island all lit up with phantoms like giants.Six ancient gods sit in the center of the electronic formation, and together with the priests, send their own power into the formation.

From the northernmost god of commerce with the face of a fox, to the god of war dressed as a samurai, the god of secrecy dressed as a ninja, the god of context dressed as a civil servant, and even the god of the great country with white clothes and white hair, all known to everyone The gods have descended into the world today.With the infusion of faith and power, the phantoms of the gods gradually solidified, and they truly became the appearance of gods standing upright.

This is the decisive battle method that Qiyao Shinto has prepared so far, using the power of the gods to descend the gods.This secret technique needs to be approved by the gods before it can be activated. Now, Rina's adventure has added the last piece of the puzzle, allowing the entire séance ceremony to be fully activated!
The last god to stand up stands at the southernmost Huangquan Shrine, and he is the Izu Nouri who is in charge of good luck.The other five straight gods of Chikushi Island stepped forward one by one, blending into the shadow of the golden crown and gray clothes.

The gentle goddess started from the southernmost part of Zero Island. She walked through the forest of Chikushi Island, crossed the desert of Yamato Island, and walked from the outer area to the center of Ashihara City.

He walked through the battlefield between Kongde and Will, raised his sleeves and gave the gun of condemnation a golden light, and then cast a gray cloud on the red mage, causing the evil spirits to shout angrily.

This action seemed to be on a whim, and after he finished these, he continued to walk, and came behind the witch.The phantom that Izu can sell merged into Rina's body, and in just one breath, the girl's expression became completely different from the past, less lively and more stable.

"Izu can sell..."

Rina, no, Izunomi stretched out his arms and embraced the white-haired god like an elder.

"Old friend, you have already done your duty."

Izunomi brushed Sakura Mai's hair lightly, and her arms passed through the ninja's body like a phantom.Izu Nengmei pulled out her arm, and she held a dark gray power in her palm, which was the restriction that restricted Sakura Mai, that is, his principle.

Imprisoned in the palm of the god of good luck, the gray petals turned into gray petals, dancing with the mountain wind, and blending into the rain of flowers.

"Go to sleep. When you wake up, everything will be different."

Sakura dance smiled, smiling so beautifully.She closed her eyes and fell asleep leaning on Izu Nomi's shoulder.

Countless cherry blossoms dispersed, and the hillside returned to desolation.Izu Nobu put down the sleeping god and walked to the top of the mountain.

There is a strange light on the top of Mount Fuyue, and countless light spots flicker in another world...

Like a starry sky.
