Chapter 1   The Battle of Those Who Were Left Behind

Part 1
Thus the devil king civil war was over──

The battle that was concerned with the end of this world was finally going to start.

The location was the end of Astral World.

There was an ancient Greek style shrine built on green grassland. However, most of its roof and pillars were destroyed from receiving the gust of the fierce battle.

Right beside it──

Kusanagi Godou was confronting the white monkey god Hanuman and the Divine Sword of Salvation he was carrying.

「I can see a familiar face inside that sword.」

「Fufufufu. Don’t get a misunderstanding. This gentleman is not crown prince Rama. He is the younger brother, his majesty Lakshmana.」

「I know. I’ve met him before.」

Godou answered shortly to the chuckling Hanuman.

The divine sword had a blade with length that reached a meter. Pure radiance was dwelling in the blade. The face of a handsome young man was emerging inside the resplendence of that blade.

The face was exactly the same with the hero Rama. His skin was dark brown. And then he possessed ominous evil countentance.

Inside the blade of the divine sword, Lakshmana’s face glared fiercely at Godou.

It was a hatred that he didn’t even try to hide. It was as though that thought was corroding the divine sword,. A black stain was spreading from the middle of the blade until the sword guard…….

Furthermore, the face of Prince Lakshmana that was emerging on the divine sword yelled.

「Die, Kusanagi Godou!」

The evilness of that expression didn’t resemble the upright face of the older brother no matter how similar their face was.

The “distortion” that was characteristic of Heretic God was wholly received by this little brother, perhaps that was exactly the cause of this discrepancy between the two siblings──. Godou made that conjecture while thrusting out his right hand casually.

*GAKIiiiiN-!* Steel and steel clashed and a high pitched metallic sound was produced.

「What!?」

Hanuman was shocked.

The divine sword the white monkey god swung, the right hand that Godou thrust out──that palm firmly blocked the sword, in addition the metallic sound just now also resounded from that.

「My bad. This guy is inside my right hand.」

Godou brushed away the Divine Sword of Salvation with the back of his right hand while boasting.

High pitched metallic sound *KIN!* also rang out at that moment too. Currently, Kusanagi Godou’s right arm was in possession of hardness that rivaled even the divine sword of Rama.

And then, from Godou’s right hand ──divine sword, Ama no Murakumo no Tsurugi suddenly manifested.

Godou grasped it and stared at Hanuman.

「Sword fighting isn’t my hobby though. But I’ll keep you company.」

「How impudent, godslayer!」

The war god who boasted godspeed and agility──swung his lord’s sword in succession.

A slash from right. A slash from left. A jump then a slash toward the crown of head. Five stage thrusts while falling. Getting on all four after landing while also slashing toward the shin──

*KIN, KIN, KIN, KIN, KIN, KIN, KIN, KIN, KIN, KIN, KIN!*

Godou warded off everything using Ama no Murakumo no Tsurugi.

His sword handling was natural and smooth, not inferior even compared to any kind of famous swordsman.

It wasn’t that he had learned sword art. The pinnacle of Japan’s divine sword from the start was making Kusanagi Godou’s right arm as its 『sheath』. In that case, couldn’t it be said as the extension of his right arm?

The moment Godou noticed that, he felt like he was able to handle sword freely.

The rest was simple. Beginning from his right arm, he entrusted the control of his whole body to Ama no Murakumo no Tsurugi, the blade that possessed its own will──

「Splendid, Kusanagi Godou! You didn’t show any opening even in the face of my sword technique!」

Hanuman stood up from crawling on all fours and gave a praise.

Godou lightly turned that praise aside.

「It’s not my own achievement, so it’s okay even if you didn’t praise me. Besides as expected, I cannot grow to like swords or katanas. This kind of thing doesn’t suit my nature.」

That was why, he sent his thought to the blade in his right hand. He told it ‘we are doing that’.

「Ama no Murakumo! With the wisdom that Circe bestowed, remove the lock of the black sword!」

Godou swiftly swung Ama no Murakumo no Tsurugi along with words of power that gave order.

It wasn’t to cut the enemy. It was to clash against the divine sword the white monkey god was holding.

*KIiiN!* There was the sound of sword impacting sword. Godou horizontally swung Ama no Murakumo no Tsurugi in large arc. The divine sword of Japan──sucked the Divine Sword of Salvation like a magnet.

「Oo!?」

Hanuman blinked in amazement once more.

The Divine Sword of Salvation was separated from his hand that was covered with white fur.


Hanuman’s grip strength lost against the “suction strength” that Ama no Murakumo no Tsurugi displayed. The monkey god with immense and unparalleled strength that could uproot a mountain, the superhuman strength of that stout arm was──.

Godou activated the secret sword <Black Sword> just for a bit.

He used a small trick at Salvatore Doni when they were in ancient Gallia. This was the reproduction of that.

Godou swung Ama no Murakumo no Tsurugi *BUN!* while turning the suction power into zero. The Divine Sword of Salvation was immediately sent flying to far away. The enemy was empty handed──

「Hahahaha. Unfortunately, you cannot say that my weapon is taken away with that!」

The moment Hanuman lost the divine sword, he unleashed a left fist strike.

That speed was exactly like a flash. It was a godspeed fist strike. However, Godou also activated the same godspeed using Verethragna’s seventh avatar, the Raptor.

He lightly jumped backward to dodge the left straight of the white monkey god that was fired toward his face.

In addition Godou swung Ama no Murakumo no Tsurugi horizontally in a flash. It was like the principle of a slugger’s swing hitting back the baseball.

He didn’t use his arm strength, but the rotation of his waist and the transfer of body weight to produce power──!

「Muuuh!」

Hanuman groaned from getting his torso scythed down hard.

The slash just now could also be said as the culmination of the one year that Kusanagi Godou spent as godslayer.

The ten avatars of Verethragna.

Ama no Murakumo no Tsurugi.

The secret sword <Black Sword> that the witch Circe and goddess Athena left behind.

This sequence of offense and defense was possible exactly because he had grasped all the authorities he had for more than enough.

But, Godou didn’t let his guard down. Because although he was pouring a killing stroke at Hanuman, not a single drop of blood trickled out from that wound!

「What are you going to show me next, Hanuman!?」

「Something like this!」

Hanuman’s torso was wearing a golden chainmail shroud.

A horizontal straight line of sword wound was carved there. With that wound as the boundary──the upper body and lower body of the white monkey god suddenly became separated!

Furthermore the upper body flew to the sky and circled behind Godou.

The lower body bent its left foot like a whip and let out a high kick. It kicked toward the side of Godou’s head.

「What the hell!」

Godou leaped far to the side and escaped from the pincer attack.

He activated godspeed only at the moment he dodged, so it looked like he teleported instantly. But there was no way Hanuman was surprised. He stretched out his right hand right away.

「O Sword of Salvation!」

Rama’s beloved sword came flying and settled inside Hanuman’s right hand.

Furthermore, the upper body and lower body of the divine monkey──moved out simultaneously with godspeed.

The upper body flew above Godou with speed that was like wind and swung down the Divine Sword of Salvation. The lower body attacked Godou from the front with drop kick.

「Shit!」

Godou activated his godspeed once more in full throttle.

He slipped through the “above and below” attack with a speed that was like instant teleportation. Without pause he began to sprint with all his strength like a lightning.

But, Hanuman was also moving around with the same speed.

His lower body was flying in the sky, his lower body was running on the ground, chasing after Godou’s full power sprinting!

「Even if you’re an invulnerable monkey, this is still foul play!」

The war god of steel who was a child of wind god and boasted the attribute of invulnerable body.

That was why even with the upper body and lower body separated, he could continue fighting like that. Hanuman’s outrageous hidden trick caused Godou to click his tongue.

「Ama no Murakumo! Give me power to fly in the sky too!」

The divine sword that was a national treasure was the symbol of Japan’s conquest.

It ended numerous different race, and plundered their riches, people, technology, and knowledge. Therefore Ama no Murakumo no Tsurugi could copy the enemy’s ability.

This time Godou made it mimic the power to fly and he flew away to the sky.

「If it’s like this, then I’ll escape until the end of earth!」

『Ou!』

Ama no Murakumo no Tsurugi responded shortly to Godou’s command.

Godou was also in the middle of activating godspeed using Verethragna’s Raptor avatar, so he rushed through the sky of Astral World with a genuine lightning speed.

However, Hanuman was also chasing behind closely.

His upper body and lower body connected once more and soared in the sky while riding on the tailwind.

「As expected, he won’t easily let me go huh……」

Kusanagi Godou had just finished the devil king civil war.

He used up the avatar of Gale, Warrior, Goat, Boar, and White Horse in that battle. It was hard to say that he was in flawless condition.

If possible he wanted to avoid fighting more than this.
