Chapter 2637 Is the world going to end?!
It was as if an invisible giant hand had pressed the world into an ink pool.
Thick, leaden-gray clouds hung low.
It pressed heavily over General City, completely swallowing up the last ray of sunlight.
Then, torrential rain poured down like a celestial river overflowing its banks.
Large raindrops pounded on the tiles, the ground, and the river.
It made a loud splashing sound that echoed throughout Edo, stirring up a misty spray of water vapor.
The gale howled and swept through the buildings and streets, tearing the rain curtain along the way into crooked and distorted shapes.
In the heart of this dark, rain-soaked landscape.
In front of the Bliss Bridge within General's City.
The Yamasato Maru area is surrounded on three sides by a turbulent inland river.
It has now become a terrifying battlefield that is difficult for ordinary people to comprehend.
The shogunate samurai, Oniwaban ninja, and Onmyoji of the Yukino and Mirino families who had been fighting each other relentlessly.
They had already stopped wielding their swords, kunai, and talismans in the face of an even more terrifying threat.
Soaked to the bone, their faces a mixture of rain and overwhelming fear, they huddled in various corners of the ruins.
His gaze was fixed on the extraordinary being in the center of the battlefield.
A deep purple beam of light, nearly ten meters in diameter, viscous as a substance and constantly churning with malevolent thoughts, rose from the ground and pierced straight into the depths of the rolling dark clouds above.
Like a wedge of an evil god that has intruded into the mortal world.
Around the beam of light, the air distorted, and raindrops, before they could even get close, were contaminated and dripped down as eerie black slime.
Beneath the beam of light, there was a massive creature with charred black skin, two horns on its head, and crimson eyes.
A monster made entirely of evil spiritual energy was there, roaring and swinging wildly.
That was finally breaking free from the thousand-year seal, through the body and obsession of Miriyoshi.
The 'evil god' or 'demon god' Antenmaru successfully manifested.
It is merely the spiritual pressure emanating from its very existence and the dark energy filled with negative emotions.
That alone is enough to terrify and drive ordinary people to a mental breakdown.
Those who fought against such a terrifying evil were the four most elite people that Edo could gather at that moment.
The white hunting robe that Ketsuno Seimei was wearing was already soaked by the rain.
But he still stood ramrod straight.
The hands form a mudra, revealing a pentagram called the 'Kikyo Mudra'.
Behind him, talismans shimmered with pure blue spiritual light.
These symbols sometimes combine to form energy barriers.
It resisted the torrent of dark energy spewed out by Antenmaru.
They would occasionally fly over and launch continuous bombing raids.
But the fine beads of sweat on his forehead and his slightly pale complexion were striking.
This reveals that he is under tremendous pressure.
Another figure was caught between the torrential rain and the evil god's swinging fists and feet.
They moved back and forth at near-instantaneous speed.
It left behind fleeting wounds on his body.
His movements were precise, ruthless, and exceptionally agile.
Each time, he narrowly avoided the crushing blows that could flatten him or the dark spiritual breath that could melt the ground.
This made the onlookers, who could only watch, break out in a cold sweat.
As expected of the title 'Marishiten', the former leader of the Oniwabanshu and the strongest Jonin of the Iga school.
Hattori Zenzo.
Fujibayashi Yoshimon.
This burly man, one of the three great Jonin of Iga, chose the most direct and most proficient fighting style.
He roared and unleashed the full power of his decades-long Iron Body Technique.
His bronze skin gleamed with a metallic sheen in the rain.
He actually used his flesh and blood to withstand the giant arm that Antenmaru was smashing down.
The collision produced a dull sound, like the sound of leather being struck.
The visible blast wave even ripped open the rain curtain.
His bravery bought precious gaps in spellcasting and attack for Seimei, Zenzo, and Hyakuchi Ranba.
All that could be seen was Hyakuchi Ranba, dressed in a maid outfit and known as the strongest puppeteer.
He pushed a complex, multi-barreled ninja cannon with a blank expression.
As she moved, she constantly adjusted the cannon's muzzle, blasting shell after shell at the evil god.
Although it won't cause any harm, it can still serve as a form of harassment.
The strongest Onmyoji and three Jonin join forces.
Although it was their first time fighting side by side, their teamwork was impeccable, and their offensive was as swift and fierce as a storm.
However, it is clear to everyone that it is always in a precarious situation.
The power of the 'evil god' Antenmaru seems to be inexhaustible.
The severed wounds healed rapidly with the replenishment of spiritual energy.
The actions became increasingly violent and unpredictable.
"You can't stop me!"
Finally, during a brief moment when Seimei's spiritual energy barrier was broken...
Its head suddenly turned to act as the front line, the strongest defense of the vine forest armor gate.
Ignore Hattori Zenzou and Hyakuchi Ranba's attacks.
Open your mouth wide.
A dark purple beam of light thicker than ever before.
It was like a judgment from the abyss that burst forth!
Armor Gate's pupils constricted as he sensed the presence of death.
Realizing there was no way to avoid it, he could only cross his arms in shock and anger to protect himself.
They muster all their strength and bulge their muscles to the limit.
"careful!"
Ketsuno Seimei immediately shouted.
A dozen or so talismans emitting blue light flew off in an attempt to intercept them.
But it's still too late.
The purple beam of light, imbued with malevolent spiritual power, engulfed Fujibayashi Kaimon's figure on the spot with unstoppable force.
His body was covered with a layer of rigid energy that could withstand kunai and explosions.
Faced with this extremely evil dark force.
Like bubbles disappearing in the sunlight.
"Uh-huh——"
With a short, angry roar filled with resentment.
He was then annihilated in the roar of the beam of light.
The beam of light dispersed.
Only a few charred marks remained on the spot, along with the last breath of an Iga Jonin lingering in the air.
No bones remain.
Dead silence.
The only sound at the scene was the crashing of the torrential rain.
The oppressive, somber, and despairing atmosphere, like an icy tide, engulfed the hearts of everyone present.
Even Hyakuchi Ranba's movements while controlling his homemade ninja cannon were somewhat stiff.
"Mr. Seimei!"
Hattori Zenzo's voice rang out through the rain with an unusual urgency.
He narrowly dodged the sweeping palm strike of the Dark Heaven Pill and roared:
"Didn't your ancestors seal this thing away?!"
"Bring out your trump cards!"
"If we keep hiding it, nobody will have any fun!"
Ketsuno Seimei manipulated thousands of talismans to block the evil beam of light that was once again spewing out from the mouth of Antenmaru.
It was impossible to tell whether it was sweat or rain, as it dripped continuously down the sandy brown ends of her hair.
Hearing Hattori Zenzo's urging, he could only reply in a deep voice, his voice clearly penetrating the rain.
"It is our ancestor, the Mimonin, from before the family split up."
"The two brothers worked together and used all their strength to barely seal it away."
Every word he uttered struck the hearts of the crowd like a heavy stone.
"In other words, it would take the combined efforts of two Onmyoji of my caliber to have any hope of resealing it, rather than completely destroying it."
A bitter look flashed in Ketsuno Seimei's eyes as he gazed at the increasingly terrifying shadow of the evil god:
Unfortunately, such conditions do not exist in this era.
"Then think of another way! Aren't you the strongest Onmyoji?!"
Hyakuchi Ranba spoke coldly, and another shell from the ninja cannon in front of him roared out.
A fierce burst of flames exploded on the surface of the evil god's body.
Ketsuno Seimei fell silent for a moment, then spoke with difficulty, "A solution... I'm sorry, I haven't thought of one yet."
Even the strongest Onmyoji admitted that he couldn't think of a solution.
These words were like the last straw, crushing the last remaining hope in many people's hearts.
The faces of the surviving samurai, ninjas, and onmyoji were drained of color.
Are we really going to just stand by and watch this evil god take over Edo?
Could it drag the entire world into an abyss of no return?
