she said softly.
"Is this what you're talking about?"
Upon seeing a part of her own consciousness, Amaterasu's originally indifferent expression couldn't help but show a hint of emotion.
He spoke.
"Outsiders, you should know this."
"Your advantage has passed."
"And my power is constantly recovering. After a while, you will inevitably fall into a disadvantageous position and die."
"Give it back to me, and I might let you die a little more easily."
"Not only that, I can promise you that I will spare the lives of your subordinates."
"how?"
The soul is undoubtedly of paramount importance to all living beings.
At this moment, Natsume Hanae holds a quarter of her soul in her hands.
Ordinary creatures that lose a quarter of their soul will have their mental state withered and dejected, and even their ability to control their own power will decrease significantly.
Of course, being above the gods represents transcendence from the mortal realm, and coupled with Amaterasu's own vitality, it is immune to this situation.
Even so, the soul, reduced to the ultimate level of a peak deity, became one of His few weaknesses.
Wanting to exchange for this part of the soul doesn't mean Amaterasu is afraid of Natsumi Hanae.
Rather, if He were to engage in battle with other deities again in the future, He would be inherently at a significant disadvantage.
Therefore, besides stalling for time, Amaterasu's current exchange is indeed what He truly desires.
After all, apart from Natsume Hanae, who could occasionally unleash a strike that surpassed even the divine, none of the attacks from the opponent's subordinates could break through His defenses.
Whether to let it go or not is irrelevant.
If He could exchange that part of His soul for it, it would undoubtedly be a highly profitable deal for Him.
No matter what, the consciousness of a quarter of the beings above the gods is incredibly vast.
It's unknown how much time and human soul power it would take to restore it.
"Oh?"
Upon hearing this, Summer Flower said softly.
Although Natsume Hanae doesn't have the ability to read minds, because a wisp of hermitage fire and crimson divinity entered Amaterasu's body, along with the sensing of her soul power, she was able to make a slight judgment as to whether Amaterasu was lying or not.
From her observation, everything Amaterasu said was the truth.
Summer Flower's bright red, glass-like eyes shone with dazzling light as she gazed at the Amaterasu soul consciousness in her hand and continued speaking.
"Just as you said."
“As you gradually regain your divinity, I will no longer be your opponent. The gap between us will become more and more obvious, and my chances of winning will gradually disappear.”
"Giving up your soul and consciousness to you, dying a quick death, and letting your daughters live seems to be the best way."
Summer flowers slowly unfold their words.
The right hand, holding the soul's consciousness, slowly extends forward, as if to hand it over to Amaterasu.
Seeing this, a hint of joy couldn't help but show in Amaterasu's indifferent, pure white pupils.
Then, Natsumi Hanae continued.
"However, isn't it a bit unfair that you obtained my soul consciousness, which I went through so much trouble to acquire, without paying any price?"
"I need some information you know about how to ascend above the divine level in exchange for my soul consciousness."
Upon hearing this, Amaterasu frowned slightly.
He was merely a dying god at the pinnacle of his power, yet he still dared to make demands of Him.
If it weren't for His desire to continue delaying,
Her own strands of hair were entering the ground and beginning to flow towards the mother tree; it would take a little more time.
Now He wants to kill Natsume Hanae and forcibly reclaim His own soul consciousness.
It must be said that the crimson glow of Summer Flower Painting, because it covered the entire Takamagahara, was somewhat limited even underground.
It was also quite difficult for Amaterasu's few strands of hair to get close to the mother tree.
The only way forward is to force things forward with time.
That is why, without sufficient divinity, He was not confident in reclaiming His soul and consciousness from Natsume's hands.
However, he revealed some information that he knew.
This is not what I wanted.
After all, this is undoubtedly aiding the enemy.
perhaps……
Can one fabricate lies to deceive the soul's consciousness?
With that in mind, Amaterasu prepared to speak.
However, at this moment.
Summer Flower Painting's words came again.
"I advise you not to fabricate information. I also have a great deal of knowledge about advancements above the divine level, and I can compare them with each other."
"Furthermore, I can sense whether you are lying."
"For example, just now, you were about to lie, weren't you?"
“If you continue to lie next time, I will destroy this soul consciousness.”
"Amaterasu, you don't want to have an extra weakness out of nowhere, do you?"
Summer Flower Painting was filled with threatening words, causing Amaterasu's expression to darken slightly, and the surrounding light dimmed a bit.
The lie was exposed before it could even be uttered.
This suggests that the other party possesses the means to detect it.
Therefore, all that can be said is that there is indeed information about ascension to a higher level than deity.
However, these messages also have a specific order.
And Natsume Hanae probably doesn't have much information about ascension to godhood.
In that case, give Natsume the last piece of information so that even if the other party has it, they won't be able to fulfill the prerequisite.
In this way, even if the other party regrets it and refuses to give him his soul consciousness, he has still bought himself time and gained the strength to kill the other party, so he won't lose out.
With this in mind, Amaterasu had already made a decision.
He spoke.
"It's alright to tell you, but it's impossible to ascend above the level of a god in my world."
"You've probably already noticed that."
"And the necessary condition for ascending above godhood is that you must possess an existence beyond this world..."
An existence beyond this world?
Upon hearing this unfamiliar news, Natsumi Hanae pondered for a moment.
But the next moment!
Beneath Summer Flower's feet, the ground suddenly cracked open!
"Bang------!!!"
The drill-shaped object, formed from thousands of white threads, radiated the dazzling light of Amaterasu and suddenly attacked the area below the Summer Flower Painting.
There was also a barely visible white thread that emerged from the ground and rushed straight towards the soul consciousness in Xia Rihua's hand.
Kill Natsumi Hanae, reclaim her soul and consciousness, and take Amaterasu for all!
While she was speaking, and in the instant that Natsumi Hanae fell into contemplation, Amaterasu had already thought of this sneak attack.
The choice should not be placed in the hands of the other party, but in your own.
Now, He has linked the Mother Tree!
The divine essence of Amaterasu was continuously transmitted back into His body through the Mother Tree, which was rapidly withering away. Meanwhile, high in the sky, the sun shone even more brightly, dispelling the surrounding scarlet radiance and gradually forcing His way out.
Even though the connection to the mother tree had just been established and the amount of divinity transmitted back was not much, this attack did indeed contain some divinity, and both its power and speed reached the level of gods.
A perfect hit on the summer flower painting will definitely cause the opponent serious injury!
But the next second, as if she had foreseen the future, a gust of wind surged from the tips of Summer Flower Painting's toes, instantly covering a hundred miles and hovering in mid-air.
However, even so.
Summer Flower's left foot was missing halfway, blood gushing out and spraying down with the strong wind, disappearing without a trace.
Seeing this, Natsumi Hanae frowned slightly and murmured to herself.
