Time flew by, and in just over twenty days, Tsunade confirmed she was pregnant.
This led to a subtle shift in the atmosphere within the Daimyo Mansion.
Because Tsunade needed to focus on her pregnancy, Shun, the Daimyo, was "considerately" asked to move out of her bedchamber and temporarily reside in Chie's bedchamber. However, Chie's body was still recovering post-childbirth and was not suitable for intimacy. Thus, Shun felt a bit lonely these past few days.
Late at night, the bedchamber was brightly lit.
Shun gently embraced Chie, who was already asleep. Looking at the beauty beside him, he had no intention of sleeping.
His thoughts had already flown over mountains and rivers, settling on the Land of Demons in the northwest.
Over a thousand years ago, the Sage of Six Paths learned Sage Mode from the Great Toad Sage, thereby gaining the ability to absorb natural energy.
If the Sage Mode of the Three Sage Regions is understood as a special form of demonization, then can the power of the priestess be understood as a 'Sage Mode' more suitable for humans?
Moreover, legend has it that the power of the priestess is pure and effectively restrains demonic power.
Of course, the more crucial point was that he had a system. As long as he engaged in intimate act with the current priestess of the Land of Demons, he could obtain this special power.
...
Miroku was only 18 years old now, full of vitality, fair-skinned and beautiful.
That night, Shun's mind wandered, making it difficult for him to sleep.
The priestess's status in the Land of Demons was very noble, and the Land of Demons had always been closed off and xenophobic, so he didn't want to use forceful methods. He needed an entrance that was sufficiently shocking, enough to make her take him seriously, even revere him, a reason that would make her willing to sit down and "talk."
The next morning, Shun was not in a hurry to depart. He first went to the Hokage Office.
"Orochimaru, I have a long-term mission for you, find the Jugo clan. They possess a special physique that allows them to automatically absorb surrounding natural energy. I believe you can understand their true purpose."
Orochimaru's golden snake eyes instantly lit up, filled with a desire for research. "The Jugo clan? Automatically absorb natural energy? Interesting. Your Excellency, please rest assured, I will immediately send people to search for them."
(Note: The current Jugo is only 2 years old!)
The Cursed Seal was merely Shun's backup plan.
If the path of the priestess didn't work out, he would start from this aspect to research the mysteries of natural energy.
After arranging his contingency, he briefly explained to a few of the royal consorts and then quietly left the Daimyo Mansion.
Seraph State... Activate!
Boom!
A majestic golden Chakra soared into the sky, and three pairs of flowing golden flame wings unfurled with a roar. A sacred Seraph with smooth lines, covered in fiery golden armor and a gilded mask, rapidly shot into the clouds.
"Target, Land of Demons!"
"Mangekyo Ocular Technique: Divine Acceleration... 3x acceleration!"
The Seraph's maximum flight speed, originally only Mach 3 at most, now became Mach 9, immediately creating a long sonic boom behind it.
Whoosh...
The fierce wind whistled past, and the clouds were easily pierced.
A few hours later, Shun arrived at the Land of Demons, which was filled with a mysterious aura.
With Divine Eye, he quickly pinpointed the location of the priestess's castle.
He continued ascending until he disappeared above the thick clouds.
Complete Body Susanoo!
Above the clouds, an even more vast and terrifying Chakra erupted. A colossal orange giant, even larger than the Seraph, covered in Tengu armor and with wings that blotted out the sky, appeared out of thin air. It was as if a God had descended.
Immediately after, the Complete Body Susanoo, at the peak of that sea of clouds, formed a complex and ancient hand seal.
Complete Body Susanoo: Supreme Seraph Form!
Buzz...!!!
Endless light and heat erupted. The orange Susanoo form transformed again, becoming a supreme being over two hundred meters tall, cast entirely from incandescent white glass, burning with sacred golden flames.
Three pairs of massive light wings slowly unfurled behind it, each feather composed of flames condensed to the extreme, its face covered by a majestic and mysterious mask, and above its head, a sacred, incandescent white halo made of pure flames, emanating an aura that purified everything.
Shun controlled this over 200-meter-tall Inferno Angel Susanoo and slowly began to descend.
Below, the priestess's castle in the Land of Demons, and the surrounding city.
All the citizens and guards witnessed a scene they would never forget.
The thick clouds parted like they were melted by the sun, and an enormous God, burning with sacred flames and topped with an incandescent white halo, was slowly descending from the clouds.
Heat, vastness, majesty, sacredness, oppression...
All these contradictory feelings intertwined, impacting the heart of every single person.
"God... A miracle... The God of Fire has descended!!!"
Someone shouted first, and inside and outside the castle, whether guards, maids, or civilians, all involuntarily knelt down. They prostrated themselves towards the sky, filled with awe and shock.
Atop the castle, the current priestess, along with a group of priests and guards, had already been waiting. She was clad in solemn priestess attire, her face beautiful and serene.
Her eyes reflected the descending "God". She did not kneel like the others, but merely looked up slightly, her expression complex. There was both reverence and a calm understanding.
She softly said to her guard captain, who was too stunned to move, "No need to panic. Prepare to welcome the descent of the God of Fire."
Under countless gazes, whether of awe, fear, or fanaticism, that over two-hundred-meter-tall Seraph finally hovered steadily above the priestess's castle plaza.
Immediately after, to everyone's astonished gazes, the massive Seraph began to dissipate, transforming into countless golden specks of light.
From within the specks of light, a man dressed in a luxurious black robe, with a handsome and majestic face and crimson eyes, floated down like a feather, finally landing steadily before the priestess.
Miroku seemed to have anticipated his arrival, a mysteriously knowing smile on her lips.
She nodded slightly, her voice ethereal and calm. "Your Highness Shun, I have been awaiting you for a long time."
