Chapter 836 True Demon
Chen Ming nodded in understanding. The last thing that they needed was for visitors to be careless and cause mayhem and destruction.
It was necessary to have the security system that was in place in order to keep order and protect the citizens. Chen Ming was interested in the governor's background.
Amaterasu guided Chen Ming through the streets of the city, dodging and weaving through the throngs of people, until they arrived at a magnificent palace. Chen Ming could not help but be overcome with awe as they entered due to the extravagant decor of the interior of the building.
Amaterasu led him to a chamber in which a magnificent Kyuubi sat on a throne, its nine tails swaying gracefully around it.
"You have arrived at last, Amaterasu-Sama and Supreme Dragon God-Sama," the priest said.
Kyuubi stated this as it stood up and extended a polite greeting to the two. Chen Ming was so taken aback by the creature's imperial bearing that he decided to extend a polite greeting in return. He couldn't help but ponder what kind of power and sway this Kyuubi wielded over the citizens of the city and the city itself.
After that, Amaterasu communicated with Kyuubi. Since he was a significantly more advanced being than the Kyuubi, he did not feel the need to show the creature a great deal of deference or respect.
"We come here as it is well known to you. Could you take us to Nuwa as soon as possible?
After hearing that, Kyuubi let out a long sigh. He appeared to be confused.
"I'm afraid that won't be feasible," was the response.
It was said by him with a tone that contained an undercurrent of rage. There must have been something that transpired in his life to provoke such rage in him.
"Why? "What exactly took place"
Amaterasu sported a frown. He was very familiar with Kyuubi. If nothing significant had happened to him, he would never have changed to this degree.
Before ultimately coming clean, Kyuubi showed a brief moment of hesitation.
"I have not too long ago lost my power. Because of this, I am unable to transport anyone to any location."
Amaterasu was taken aback by this information. He had never witnessed Kyuubi in a state where he lacked his powers. After that, Kyuubi explained what might have brought this about, and after hearing his explanation, they understood that the issue might be connected to the disruption in the laylines.
Fixing it is a necessity. In that case, not only will I be unable to bring everyone with me to Nuwa, but this location will also be obliterated by the real demon.
Amaterasu had heard that, and it caused her to feel anxious about what was going to transpire. He was well aware that the true demon was a formidable adversary who, if he were to break through the barrier, would be capable of wreaking unimaginable havoc.
They were facing a time crunch and needed to move quickly to find a solution to the issue at hand. Following some debate, they came to the conclusion that it would be best to seek the guidance of the goddess Izanami, his mother, who was renowned for her skill in influencing the laylines.
But
"I am unable to get in touch with either of my parents."
Amaterasu experienced a sense of isolation due to the fact that he was unable to seek assistance from his own mother given the gravity of the situation. Without her leadership, he couldn't help but wonder how they were going to be able to mend the laylines and stop the real demon from entering their world.
"I sincerely apologize. Before we can bring you and everyone else to Nuwa, Kyuubi and I have to figure out how to fix this problem first.
Amaterasu extended her apologies to Chen Ming and the people under his rule. He had not anticipated that there would be a problem of this nature.
Kyuubi shared the same sentiments as well. He expressed his regret to Chen Ming.
"Don't be afraid. This is not your fault, and we humbly request that you both allow us to assist you in resolving this issue. In spite of the fact that we are not familiar with laylines, we are knowledgeable about formations. It's something to think about.
After Amaterasu and Kyuubi expressed their regret for the unexpected difficulty, Chen Ming made a kind and generous offer of assistance to help them. Chen Ming gave them the assurance that he was knowledgeable about formations, despite the fact that he was not knowledgeable about laylines, and that he would be happy to assist in any way that was possible.
Amaterasu and Kyuubi expressed their gratitude to Chen Ming for his generous offer and thanked him for his kindness in their response. They were aware that they were in a challenging circumstance, but they were relieved to have someone like Chen Ming willing to help them. They realized that, with their combined efforts, they would be able to solve the problem at hand thanks to his knowledge of formations.
...
Outside Takamagahara, a true demon was waiting. He towered over everyone else like a mountain.
"I will destroy you, Kyuubi!" he yelled.
The demon growled, the rage in his eyes clearly visible in his face. He had harbored ill will toward Kyuubi for a very long time and was eager to exact his vengeance upon the fox spirit.
The true demon gave up its kin without a second's hesitation so that it could amass more power and improve its chances of obliterating the laylines.
Because he was aware that the layline was Kyubi's vulnerable point, he was able to devise a strategy that would allow him to triumph over the fox spirit.
And as he was tearing up the laylines, he had the uneasy feeling that something was off.
"What causes the laylines to continually regenerate? How could something like that even be possible?
The true demon continued to launch attacks against the laylines with all of his strength; however, he was taken aback when they continued to regenerate. The fact that he couldn't comprehend how this was even possible added fuel to the fire of his annoyance. If he wanted to have any chance of defeating Kyuubi, he knew he had to figure out how to put an end to the regeneration.
