"It's so fast."
Even though she had foreseen Amaterasu's attack, she didn't know that Amaterasu's speed would be so fast after being blessed with divinity.
Even though she had gathered some of her strength into a gale, she still couldn't completely evade Amaterasu's attack.
That's right.
Natsumi Hanae knew that Amaterasu would attack her; otherwise, with that extremely fast attack, Natsumi Hanae would have had no chance to dodge it.
Within the Mother Tree, a sufficient amount of hermitage fire and scarlet divinity had already surged in.
These fires and crimson divinity, absorbed by Amaterasu like a siphon, mixed with Amaterasu's divinity and entered Amaterasu's body.
Before Amaterasu attacked Natsume, Natsume already knew that the attack would come soon, based on the flow of Amaterasu's divinity.
Therefore, the accumulation of strong winds took place first.
Even so, Amaterasu's attack speed this time still exceeded her expectations.
Summer Flower's gaze fell upon her bare, jade-like feet.
The immortality began to take effect, and the blood-red color flashed by before the regeneration was complete.
However, after regeneration is complete.
Summer Flower could clearly perceive that there was a seed of Amaterasu's divine essence on the instep of her foot.
It is drawing upon her power.
Before long, it took root and sprouted on the instep, blooming into a delicate white datura flower, continuously absorbing the power from her body.
Although the rate at which her power is absorbed is extremely slow, it cannot be allowed to persist indefinitely.
Upon seeing this, the fire at the foot of the Summer Flower Pavilion instantly flared up, preparing to burn the datura flower.
However, at the moment the mandala flower burned, she actually felt the excruciating pain of being burned by the fire, and the power within her body seemed to be burned away by the fire as well.
Upon seeing this, Natsumi Hanae stopped what she was doing.
But the next second, the burned mandrake flower grew back.
At this moment, Amaterasu saw Natsumi's behavior and couldn't help but speak up.
"it's useless."
“The mandala flower has already taken root in your essence. Attacking it is no different from attacking yourself.”
"I was surprised that you were able to dodge my attack."
"But that's all."
"Having absorbed a portion of the Mother Tree's divinity, I am not someone you, a peak deity, can handle."
The mandala flower possesses the divine nature of Amaterasu, a divine nature that transcends even the gods.
But at this time, Natsume Hanae was still a god at the peak of her power.
However, it's not that they can't be eliminated.
However, it would take a great deal of effort to eradicate the Mandarava flower.
Given the extremely slow rate at which the Datura flower absorbs power, it would be more harmful than beneficial for Natsume to expend a great deal of effort to eradicate it.
If it's just one plant, there's no need to worry too much.
However, Amaterasu's attack had already shown Natsumi Hanae the power of her divine abilities.
We must go all out.
Even the slightest carelessness could lead to injury.
Although she possesses immortality, every time Amaterasu attacks her, she implants mandrake flowers within her body to absorb them. If the number of mandrake flowers becomes too large, her immortality will become useless.
She, already weak, was weakened again and again, while Amaterasu, already powerful, grew stronger and stronger. Once her opponent fully recovered her strength, there would be no chance of victory.
The most urgent task is to elevate oneself above the divine!
A hint of reminiscence appeared in Xia Rihua's beautiful, glass-like eyes, her mind swirling with countless thoughts.
"An existence outside the world."
Although Natsumi Hanae was attacked by Amaterasu just now, it seems that Amaterasu was trying to distract her at the time, so the information she received was not a lie in Natsumi Hanae's perception.
In other words, existence outside the world is indeed a necessity for ascending to a higher level than gods.
Could it be that as long as she obtains something from outside this world, she can ascend to a level above gods?
wrong.
This does not align with my deduction based on various intelligence reports.
According to her deduction, by upgrading her own semi-hellish realm to a hellish realm, she could break away from the main world and transform into another world. In the hellish realm, she could ascend to a level above gods.
However, what she lacked was the method to advance to the hellish level of the bizarre realm, and what Amaterasu said was not a lie.
So……
If you look at them together...
Soon, a flash of inspiration struck Natsumi Hanae, and she suddenly understood.
—What's needed for a semi-hellish realm to advance to a hellish realm is something from outside the world!
All the clues are now connected and linked together.
However, the next second, Summer Flower Painting was in trouble again.
Where would she get things from outside the world?
Everything in the main world, including the bizarre realm, is part of that world; she simply lacks this crucial element.
A guess about summer flower illustrations.
It was probably because Amaterasu had guessed this that she revealed this information to her.
Whether she knew the prerequisites or not, without the existence of something outside the world, she could not complete... the ascension above the gods.
Summer Flower Painting is in trouble.
Amaterasu's words did not end there.
"Summer floral painting, surrender now."
"You have no other options left."
"Return your soul and consciousness to me, and the promise I made before will still stand."
"Otherwise, I will make even death a source of immense suffering for you."
Previously, Natsume's reaction speed had exceeded Amaterasu's expectations.
Amaterasu realized that even with her current recovery, she still couldn't wrest her soul consciousness back from Natsumi Hanae's grasp, and was highly likely to be destroyed by Natsumi Hanae before she could launch another attack.
However, it will take some time to fully absorb the divine essence of the mother tree, Amaterasu, and even to recover to the peak of his strength.
During this period, there is a high possibility that some changes may occur.
Therefore, in order to quickly regain his soul consciousness, He said this again.
Upon hearing this, Natsumi Hanae shifted her gaze from the mandala flower on the back of her foot to Amaterasu once more.
A strange light flickered in her beautiful, red, glass-like eyes, constantly shifting and changing.
A faint smile suddenly appeared on her previously calm and refined face.
"Even now, I still have some choice."
"Amaterasu, you are truly merciful."
"For me, who is at a disadvantage, this seems to be the best option."
“My daughters can live, and I can die in agony.”
"but……"
"—I refuse."
Upon hearing this, Amaterasu's expression revealed a hint of surprise. She frowned slightly as she looked at Natsumi Hanae, seemingly with a trace of incomprehension.
Upon seeing this, Xia Rihua's cherry-red lips curved into an even deeper smile.
She pinched the soul consciousness bead in her right hand, raised it high, and looked at it.
Reflected by the crimson vertical pupils, the pure white soul consciousness, enveloped in azure soul power, shimmered with a variety of colors, appearing dazzlingly radiant.
Summer flowers murmured to themselves.
"It's so pretty."
"Things that look good must taste good too."
Amaterasu's keen senses instantly caught Natsumi Hanae's voice, and her initial surprise vanished, replaced by anger.
He rebuked him.
"you dare?!"
However, as soon as Amaterasu uttered those words, Natsuhika-e had already begun to act.
