Netherworld, a small wooden hut in the mountains—
"Who are you?!"
Finding themselves in a different place and seeing the bare-chested man sitting cross-legged on the floor, a cold light flashed in Metis's eyes, and she shouted.
"Hey, hey, Goddess Metis, don't get excited, don't get excited."
Waving his hands repeatedly, Susanoo knew how cruel and crazy this goddess, who was disguised as a cute loli, truly was. He was afraid that she would misunderstand and rush over to fight him.
"Ooh... Sora-oniichan."
Finding that her sister and the others were all gone, and that the big-bearded man opposite looked like a scary uncle, the little miko Hikari was suddenly nervous and scared, hugging Sora tightly.
"Metis, they are not enemies."
"Little girl, don't be afraid. They are not bad people."
Knowing that it was this big-bearded man's doing again, Sora shook his head speechlessly and gently patted the two girls to comfort them.
Completely obedient and trusting of Sora, the aura on Metis dissipated, and she returned to her original harmless, cute appearance, obediently and quietly returning to Sora's embrace. The little miko Hikari was still a little nervous, still holding on to Sora tightly.
"Princess, long time no see. Thank you for last time!"
Temporarily ignoring Susanoo, Sora turned his gaze to the peerless beauty who was sitting upright and smiled.
"This one greets Lord Kusanagi."
Her breath like a faint orchid, noble and elegant, Glass-Eyed Princess stood up and bowed to Sora. Her soft voice, like silk music, made one feel as if they were bathed in a spring breeze.
Remembering how she had possessed a miko to use [Teach] on the young man before her in order to help him, a faint blush appeared on the princess's peerlessly beautiful face. Her gaze had just met Sora's before she shyly looked away.
A slight curve formed on the corner of Sora's mouth. Although he had decided in his heart that this woman could only belong to him, Sora was not in a hurry. He nodded and said nothing more.
A woman as gentle as water like Glass-Eyed Princess could not be rushed. One had to be patient. As long as he grasped the right degree and touched her heart from time to time, he would one day be able to conquer her!
This time, only Glass-Eyed Princess and the big-bearded Susanoo were present. The old monk who looked like a mummy was not there. He probably knew that he was somewhat displeased with him and tactfully did not appear. Although that old monk's mouth was very annoying, as long as he didn't cause trouble, he couldn't be bothered with him.
"Hehehe... Sora, you've been getting more and more amazing lately. Athena, Metis, and even that arrogant and domineering Cult Leader Luo Hao have fallen victim to you!"
Taking a sip of wine, the big-bearded Susanoo chuckled at Sora, his eyes filled with amazement.
Although he himself was not interested in that, whether it was Athena, Metis, or the Cult Leader Luo Hao, they were all among the most beautiful and divine women in the world. This brat had actually taken them all for himself. Any man would be driven mad with jealousy!
"Hahaha... Not bad, not bad!"
"So, big beard, what did you call me over for?"
Without being polite, he sat down with Metis and Hikari in his arms and laughed.
Seeing Sora's smug look, Susanoo really had the urge to stomp him to death. But he finally held back. He might not be able to beat this kid, and even if he could, he definitely couldn't beat his group of crazy women.
"Hmph, you think I wanted to call you over? Who asked you to release that guy, the Great Sage, Heaven's Equal? If you don't take care of him this time, we're all going to be finished."
Getting down to business, Susanoo's expression turned serious, and he replied to Sora with a disgruntled look.
"Heh... you seem to know that monkey very well! What's going on? Tell me."
A strange light flashed in his eyes, and a trace of interest rose in Sora's heart.
"I know him very well. That monkey was originally summoned to the lower realm by me, the princess, and the old monk, and we sealed him while he was off guard. As for the specific details and reasons, let the princess tell you."
Gulping down another mouthful of wine, Susanoo nodded, his face full of reminiscence.
Turning his gaze to Glass-Eyed Princess on the side and seeing her nod, Sora's curiosity grew even stronger.
Putting aside the reason why Susanoo and the others wanted to summon Sun Wukong to the lower realm, why did they seal him after summoning him? Wasn't that just asking for trouble?
Knowing that there must be a hidden story here, Sora didn't ask any more questions and listened attentively. As Glass-Eyed Princess slowly narrated, Sora finally understood what was going on.
It turned out that this matter was related to that guy, the Last King. According to the three of them's calculations, the time for the Last King to awaken was approaching again.
In the past, every time the Last King awakened, he would hunt down and kill all the God-Slayers of that era and even other gods who had descended to earth, bringing great disaster to the mortal realm. In order to prevent this from happening again, Susanoo, Glass-Eyed Princess, and the old mage came up with a plan.
This plan was naturally the Great Sage, Heaven's Equal, Sun Wukong. This ancient monkey war god from Eastern mythology possessed boundless magical power and infinite supernatural abilities, and had extremely powerful combat strength. If it was him, perhaps he could fight the Last King!
The three of them spent a great deal of energy and cost to summon Sun Wukong to the lower realm and sealed him, preparing to have him stop the Last King at the final moment.
However, because of this brat Sora, Sun Wukong was released ahead of schedule!
This was a disaster. Sun Wukong was not a kind and benevolent god either, and he had a mischievous personality. Now that he was out, wouldn't the world fall into chaos?
Moreover, monkeys have always been very vengeful. Once he recovered his strength, he would probably first seek revenge on Susanoo and Glass-Eyed Princess, the three who had sealed him!
Unexpectedly, there were these reasons behind it. After listening to Glass-Eyed Princess's narration, the little miko Hikari was already dumbfounded. Metis also frowned, her expression not looking very good.
As for Sora, well, looking at the princess's slightly resentful gaze, he rubbed his nose and felt a little embarrassed.
His hands were itchy, and it seemed he had accidentally ruined the plan they had worked so hard to set up.
"Ahem... Princess, this matter is indeed my responsibility, but it's useless to regret it now. Whether it's Sun Wukong or that Last King, I just have to defeat them!"
His expression was a little awkward, but Sora was a man who dared to take responsibility.
Besides, he was determined to obtain Sun Wukong's Authority and power. In order to conquer this world, he also had to cut down that Last King. So for Sora, the result was the same.
He just had to defeat them!
"Kid, although you have some skills, and your women are all very strong, things are not as simple as you imagine."
After hearing Sora's words, Susanoo on the side mercilessly poured cold water on him.
"What do you mean?"
Not angry, Sora frowned and asked.
Putting aside that Last King for now, Sora didn't know his depth since he hadn't seen him yet.
As for Sun Wukong, although Sora also admitted that he was very powerful, and even he himself had no confidence in defeating him, but with Athena, Metis, the Cult Leader, and his three knights, Erica, Liliana, and Ena, they were enough to overwhelm him!
Seeming to have seen through Sora's thoughts, Susanoo took a slow sip of wine, grinned, and spoke again:
"Hehe... Kid, you don't think your opponent this time is only Sun Wukong, do you?"
