Chapter 2899 - 2900: Against the Queen of Yomi

-----

"What's that now?!"

Frank stared into the distance, sensing a massive surge of energies and a violent distortion in space itself. Everyone fighting Izanami felt it too: an entity beyond the boundaries of this Realm was awakening.

Her Divinity erupted, shattering the Realm's walls and flooding divine power inside. Takai Shinji, witnessing the phenomenon, felt immediate danger and stepped back.

"Izanami-sama! We cannot waste time with these frauds. We must reach the outside world quickly and spread death and despair across humanity!"

"You... you're right..."

She nodded. Takai Shinji swiftly manipulated space, unleashing a powerful wave to force everyone away with his mastery of Space Magic.

Ryo, who had just awakened and confronted the Goddess of Yomi alone, shielded Sadako with his own body as the spatial wave rushed toward them and everyone else.

"You think that will stop us?!" Zehe roared.

"Space Magic elevated to the Cosmic Level of this world is truly fearsome, but...!" Kireina stepped forward.

Together with her wife, both pushed back with their Magic and Auras, warping the spatial wave and forcing it to reverse.

"Nnngh?! W-Wha...!"

Takai Shinji staggered as he faced these two mysterious women who had appeared out of nowhere and disrupted his plans.

His eyes blazed bright red as his aura surged to its absolute limit.

"Who do you think you are?!"

RUMBLE!

Space fractured and shattered. Dimensional fragments surged forward in a lethal tide capable of shredding anyone, no matter how strong, into nothingness within seconds!

And yet...

"Abyssal Void Nebula Arcane Magic – True Black Hole!"

"Blossoming Defiance – Myriad Forms and Connections! Weapon Form – Infinite Heavens Sword!"

Zehe and Kireina unleashed their strongest attacks. Zehe summoned a genuine black hole that devoured the dimensional fragments, then struck Takai and Izanami, detonating in a cataclysmic explosion that further warped the dimensional pillars of the Corrupted Domain.

At the same instant, Kireina's single slash cleaved through the black hole itself, reaching Takai Shinji and slicing his body into two, three, four, seven, ten, a hundred pieces in mere heartbeats.

Izanami suffered devastating damage as well, her body constantly torn apart, yet she clung to life by drawing on the power of Yomi, the Netherworld, barely enduring.

SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!

BOOOMMM!!!

A colossal explosion followed, shaking the entire Corrupted Domain. Takai Shinji's shredded form emerged from the smoke, torn into countless fragments.

Izanami, however, withstood the onslaught, though she was in horrific condition, gasping desperately, more than half her body gone.

"Curse you...! Humans!" she groaned, her eyes burning like fire. "CURSE YOU, HUMANITY!"

As she screamed, endless darkness poured from her eyes and mouth. The Corrupted Domain began compressing within the palm of her hand.

She threatened to annihilate everything and everyone with this single attack!

At the same moment, her tendrils devoured Takai Shinji's ruined body, absorbing his magical powers and claiming Space Magic for herself.

TRUUUM!

"Damn it, this bitch is crazy!" Nesiphae clicked her tongue. "We have to— Ah! Amiphossia?! Kireina! Amiphossia! Her presence...! She's coming right here!"

"...What?!" Kireina was still processing everything when space tore open behind them.

A giant lamia goddess with long white hair emerged, accompanied by an army of hundreds of thousands of ghosts.

RUMBLE!

Izanami's attack faltered as the sudden surge of Divine Power destabilized her spell. In that instant, Ryo seized the opening and struck.

His golden swords transformed into gauntlets that wrapped around his many fists. He charged forward.

He, the only Oni to have mastered Buddhism Cultivation, unleashed a powerful Heart Essence and reached an extraordinary level of Manifestation.

"Myriad Soul Heaven Selves – Naraka's Dance!"

Ryo danced, splitting into hundreds of selves that rushed Izanami from every direction. Each fist blazed with brilliant light.

"Nnngh...! Y-Youuuuu!"

Izanami screamed, manifesting hundreds of ghostly hands to counter Ryo and destroy many of his clones, only for more to emerge endlessly from him.

As they danced, the flames of Naraka said to burn away all sins, manifested as tornadoes that bombarded her body.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

"Nngaaaaahhh!"

Izanami shrieked. Her darkness slowly burned away. The Flames of Naraka from the Heavenly Domain where Ryo had trained proved devastatingly effective.

Yet she was the Goddess of Death for good reason. The more she suffered, the darker and more expansive her aura became.

Black clouds rolled in everywhere, devouring Ryo's clones and extinguishing his light.

But the Oni Prince never faltered. His fists smashed through her body, driving her farther and farther back.

"RAAAAAHHH!"

Izanami lost all composure and screamed monstrously. Her mouth opened wide like a tenebrous beast from hell. A black hole erupted from nowhere.

"You copied Mom's spell?!"

Izanami's spell struck Ryo, hurling him skyward and detonating in a massive explosion high above—where the Heavenly Domain of Amaterasu began to manifest.

BOOOMMM!!!

As chaos unfolded, Kireina leaped forward and attacked Izanami with her Infinite Heavens Sword, slashing her body dozens, hundreds, thousands, millions of times in an instant!

"I cannot let you advance even one more step, Goddess of Death! I am sorry for your fate, but I will not allow you to enter the world of the living!"

"Nnngh! Izanagi...! Why haven't you come for me?! AAAAAHHHHHHH!"

Izanami screamed in pure agony as Kireina relentlessly suppressed her!

But the black hole Izanami had fired upward shattered the sky, tearing open an even larger portal toward the Heavenly Domain.

"I found you."

"...?!"

Before Kireina could finish Izanami, a gigantic hand of divine sunlight descended.

BOOOM!

Kireina barely evaded the deadly strike, but Izanami was crushed beneath the divine palm, her body burning rapidly into ashes.

"GYAAAAAEEEEE!"

Kireina moved to deliver the final blow, only for the hand to lift and slam down at her like a continent-shattering fist!

CRAASH! CRAASH! CRAASH!

It pursued her relentlessly. Kireina dodged with blinding speed, transforming into a sword and cleaving through the air.

She knew exactly who that hand belonged to.

It was her.

"Amaterasu, what the hell are you doing here of all places?!"

"I have come to finish what we started! Chaos Spawn, you will perish!"

High in the heavens of the Heavenly Domain, Amaterasu's face appeared. Her eyes blazed and unleashed gigantic beams of sunlight that devastated everything below.

Sadako, held protectively by Brontes, screamed as her village burned to the ground.

The surviving Oni were swiftly rescued by Rimuru, who enveloped them in her slime body and teleported them to the safety of her Divine Realm.

"Don't worry guuu! Your people are safe!"

"R-Really?!"

Sadako could barely comprehend how it happened, but she had no time to question her saviors.

"PERISH, DEMON!"

Amaterasu roared, relentlessly pursuing Kireina.

Until...

FLASH!

Five figures surged forward and caught the giant palm with their combined strength.

Kireina stared in disbelief as Rimuru, Brontes, Zehe, Nesiphae, and Lilith held the hand at bay.

Their Auras fused instantly, forming a colossal rainbow giantess of cosmic scale, radiant with starlight.

"Who the hell do you think you are?!"

All five roared in unison. The massive starlight palm shoved Amaterasu's hand upward and delivered a punishing blow into the heavens, causing agony to ripple through her bones and soul.

"Uuuggh! W-Who...! Who are you?!"

Still stunned, Amaterasu clicked her tongue, only to realize that an enormous portal to the Netherworld was rapidly expanding.

From within, Izanagi's true soul forced its way into the world without a vessel.

Ryo and Amiphossia reached the gate first and attacked the shadow with their strongest techniques.

They recognized her immediately and struck without hesitation.

"Don't you dare step through, Goddess of Death!"

Countless attacks hammered Izanami, forcing her back.

She screamed. Shadows and curses poured from her eyes, transforming into an endless army of Yokai.

"Hm?!" Amaterasu noticed the chaos and gasped in disbelief. "W-Why...! How dare you open a gate to the Netherworld?! Are you all insane?!"

"You stupid bitch, we're trying to close it!" Kireina shouted angrily. "Save your grudges for later and help, or all of humanity will die!"

"What?! That's...!" Amaterasu showed genuine shock, but Tsukuyomi nodded beside her. She clicked her tongue. "D-Damn it! Fine! Only this once, you despicable creature!"

Thus, the most improbable alliance in all of history was born.
