"Izanami?"
Kamiyagawa looked up, gazing at the vast and alluring figure under the Starry Sea.
There could be no mistake. In this Izumo World, aside from the ruler of the Yomi Mother Goddess, there existed no other entity capable of wielding such oppressive force that could dim the stars and halt time and space.
But... after shattering the black torii, I had thought to sever the connection between Ashiya Dōman and Yomi, so why did it instead bring forth Izanami?
After a brief moment of shock, Kamiyagawa's mind swiftly calmed.
No, something's not right.
Izanami's true form shouldn't be able to descend here directly.
Before the battle, he had deployed heavy defenses including several God-level Shikigami at the seal nodes of the Dark Side of the Moon and Yomotsu Hirasaka. Even now, with the fierce battles raging in Takamagahara, he could clearly feel that the seals targeting the Nest Projection in those two places remained intact, with no indication of an assault.
