''This bizarrely violent surge........!　I checked it against the past data. You really were the God-Destroying High King--

What's up?　You're still spooked.　If you want to stop fighting and go home and play make-believe, I'm always open to that, you know?

　I tried to ask him, hoping a little further down the line, but...

'Unfortunately, I have no reason to fear you. You will never be able to defeat me with you.

Well you don't understand what I'm saying. Toi, I'm going to have some fun--!　Activate the SS-class divine sword, The Sword of Kusanagi, and activate the Inherent Sacredness, Yamata-no-Orochi!　Risen, born of the divine dragon, the sword of destruction and rebirth--!

　The divine sword, which was made to disappear from its midpoint by a charged particle cannon, resurrects and regenerates by sucking in an immense amount of golden power, releasing its true form--!

　The beautiful golden blade in his hand.

Let's go--
　Wearing the enormous amount of golden power supplied by Amaterasu, I am the one who will make the most of the power.

You can do better than to fire a charged particle cannon at me.
　With a god speed stepping in, he'd get to zero distance in an instant.

It's a lot faster than me throwing a sword in, you know?
　He cut Toi-Susanoo from the front...

　The God-fearing High King's mighty blow.

　Gasp!

What...what...?
　By the great sword that was returned to blade mode, it was received by Toi-[Susano-o] with a gusto.

''Silly--''
　The words of astonishment spilled out of my mouth without a second thought.

　There was a reason why I was so surprised by this single attack and defense.

　It wasn't because the attack of the Shinmeetsuhau was caught.
　No, that's not impossible, but...

''Amaterasu's output doesn't increase...!
　It was because the power of the infinitely strong and undefeatable Shinmetsuhaou had stepped in just once, and it suddenly ran out of gas as if it had run out of gas.

''No, this isn't just a superficial story - there's something more fundamental...''

　Unlike running out of gas, which can be restored as soon as you put gas in.
It's as if the Amaterasu engine itself is having a fatal malfunction...

''Did you notice. He activated Amano Iwato, the Inherent Divinity. And this - no, this is it!　It's a true trump card mounted on the Susanoo that surpasses even the charged particle cannon!

　Toi="Susano-o" forcibly drew his great sword--!

Shucks!

　I can't stand it and my waist floats and bounces off the ground, but I control my balance in the air and land softly on my feet.

"You are so dexterous. I think it's best to avoid close encounters even if you activate Amanoiwato.

　As he said it, Toi-[Susano] shifted the great sword into charged particle cannon mode again.

'Amano, Iwato--?
　Doesn't that sound familiar...?

Oh, yeah...!
　I realized something.

"So the mysterious words 'mano ... wato' that Toi first remembered were part of 'Amanoi wato'!

　It was an itchy spot, or rather, a small haze that had been in the corner of my head for a long time had unexpectedly cleared up, and I felt a bit refreshed.

''As expected of the Divine Annihilation Haou. Even though you are in this situation, you have a tremendous amount of composure.

'Not really, though, is it?　Because of what you did, I'm totally out of shape.
　The Amaterasu had already almost stopped operating.

''Amano Iwato - was it?　Apparently that guy is doing something bad to Amaterasu, right?

'Yes. It would be a shame to die without knowing anything. I'll tell you a few things to thank you for taking care of your temporary personality (Twa).

　Towa, who had been on the verge of battle, loosened her stance a little.

''Amaniwato (Amaniwato) is the ultimate power that accesses the root of the world, just like Amaterasu (Amaterasu),''

The same kind of power as Amaterasu...!

''That interpretation is strictly different. ''Amaniwato is a special counter cheat that specializes in blocking Amaterasu. It's just a power to cause the glitches that are happening to you right now.

Okay, so...

　That's why Toi-Susanoo was so confident because he could nullify Amaterasu, the source of Shinmetsuhaou's power, and that's why he was so confident--!

Unlike the all-powerful Amaterasu, which generates inexhaustible power, Amanoiwato is not very powerful on its own. However, if they fought alone - the Amanoiwat could not be defeated by Amanoiwat!

　Twi-[Susano] readied his charged particle cannon again.

''This is the end of the story. From now on, I will dispose of you - the Shinmezuhau. Resistance will only increase your suffering, so I don't recommend it.

Heh, I'm just waiting for Hazuki to take you back. Of course he's going to resist. Get rid of me?　If you can do it, do it--!

　I put my mind to it and gripped the sword of Kusanagi, which still managed to retain its strength, firmly.
