In fact, the number of shrines dedicated to Amaterasu Omikami was way more than these. However, those shrines were mixed with other gods, just like the shrine owned by Sei Itō's family. Therefore, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Sei Itō excluded them and only destroyed the independent shrines dedicated to Amaterasu.
After all, if he really wanted to destroy the people's faith in Amaterasu, he would have to carry out a large-scale hypnosis operation to erase the faith and information about Amaterasu from their minds. Otherwise, it was basically impossible! The reason why Sei Itō sent people to destroy the shrines despite knowing this was because he wanted to create more trouble for Amaterasu and destroy her public image. Other than that, he wanted to use the destruction of the Holy Elephant to slow down her collection of faith. He did not really think that he would be able to do anything to Amaterasu.
Ten minutes later, along with streams of light, all the people who were expelled from the shrine returned to Sei Itō's side. With a thought, Sei Itō kept them back into the Rubik's Cube world. Then, in a flash, he personally rushed to the few shrines that were resisting the most.
Under the aftershock of killing the Half-body Amaterasu, the shrines that had put up a serious resistance were suppressed and destroyed by Ito Sei. The clergy were all killed and disappeared from the land of 'Sakura Country'.
After that, Sei Itō's fighting spirit did not diminish and his body flashed. He appeared in the sky above Kyoto. Then, he waved his hand, and a huge palm that covered the sky and the sun appeared with a terrifying pressure and oppression. Under the horrified gaze of many people and monsters in Kyoto, the huge palm slammed down on Fujiwara Taisha.
* Boom! *
There was a sudden flash of light. It formed a hemispherical golden shield and blocked the huge palm.
Sei Itō, who was already prepared for this, was not surprised. He pressed his palm down again, and the huge palm pressed forward a few more inches, stimulating the golden light shield and making a strange creaking sound as if it was about to collapse.
Then, in the next moment, there was a shattering sound, and the entire Divine Light shield exploded into a pile of irregular crystal fragments of different sizes. It flew and fell to the ground.
Then, without any obstruction, the huge palm quickly rushed down and hit the main building of the Fushimi Inari Taisha, where Senmon Torii was located.
* Boom! *
A huge cloud of dust immediately covered the entire area and the area where Fujiwara Taisha was located.
"Hmm? They actually didn't resist and gave up … "Ito Sei put down his palm and looked at the Dahe Grand Shrine that had collapsed into a pile of ruins. It was covered in smoke and dust, but there was no aura of divine light at all.
Just like this, Sei Itō waited for a while above the collapsed Fujiwara Taisha until the dust dissipated. Itō Sei, who didn't seem to have the attitude of descending to the mortal world, chuckles and disappears from the sky of Kyoto.
However, the moment he disappeared, a large amount of golden light particles gathered, and a face full of hatred and resentment appeared. Inari Kami, whose beautiful face looked a bit twisted, appeared in the ruins of Fujiwara Taisha.
"Bastard! I won't forgive you for this! Just you wait, demon! " Inari Kami's white hand tightly held the gold and silver fan as she looked at where Sei Itō disappeared and said with hatred.
But in the next second. Inari Kami's expression immediately changed, and her voice was sharp and hysterical as she shouted.
"Damn it! Do you want to fight me to the death!? "
After that. Inari Kami's spiritual body dissipated and turned back into golden light particles and quickly disappeared into the air.
At the same time. In Saga Prefecture of Japan's Kyushu region, along with the descent of a giant hand that covered the sky, the Tokuyu Inari Shrine, one of the three Inari Shrines, along with Kyoto's Fushimi Inari Taisha and Ibaraki Prefecture's Kasama Inari Shrine, immediately shattered, revealing the main body of the Inari Shrine that was composed of a large number of torii.
Then the giant hand fell and pressed down on the main building complex.
But at this time, the shrine below shone with a divine light. Two giant golden foxes made of pure energy appeared in the sky above Inari Shrine. Each of them opened their beastly mouth and spat out a golden ball of energy.
The energy ball pierced through the night sky and instantly collided with the giant hand.
"Boom!"
A huge shockwave suddenly spread out from the center of the explosion. It was like a hurricane, rushing in all directions. The towering trees around Inari Shrine were blown down.
Then, the two golden foxes jumped into the air and attacked Sei Itō from the left and right.
"Guardian spirits … I thought this place was the same as Kyoto, ready to give up resistance." Looking at the golden foxes rushing toward him, Sei Itō chuckled.
He then pushed his hands through the air, and the two vortexes formed by countless green leaves immediately dispersed, transforming into countless streaks of green spiritual light that hurtled toward the two golden foxes.
In an instant, countless muffled sounds could be heard, and the two golden foxes immediately cried out in pain from being shot. They stopped running forward and lowered their heads. They tightened their bodies and used the smallest part of their bodies to welcome the thousands of green light shots.
At this moment, Sei Itō, who was temporarily unhindered, slammed his hand down again, and another giant hand covered the sky slammed down on the shrine below … Ignoring the many experts who rushed out from the shrine below, it directly hit the main building complex of the shrine.
"Boom!"
A thick cloud of dust immediately filled the air and enveloped the entire Inari Shrine.
Perhaps it was because the attack had destroyed the guardian statues in the shrine as well, but the two golden foxes that were riddled with wounds under the barrage of green light suddenly vanished into thin air. They suddenly exploded into a pile of tiny specks of light and quickly melted into the air.
"Bastard!"
At this moment, a familiar and clear female voice filled with resentment rang out in the night sky. Then. Spirit light gathered, bringing a cool breeze. Dispersing the smoke and dust that shrouded the Inari Shrine, dispersing the dust that shrouded it. Inari Goddess, who was wearing a long kimono, appeared. She looked like a young girl with fox ears.
"Finally willing to come out, I thought you would never come out." Sei Itō looked at Inari Goddess who was standing in the ruins of the shrine below and chuckled.
"Sei Itō, do you want to fight to the death with me!?" Inari Goddess asked with a gloomy face.
"Fight to the death? This was already the case when you destroyed Akikuruno City. "The expression on Ito Sei's face quickly converged, and he replied coldly.
"You! You actually want to fight a True God for a mere piece of land in the mortal world, you really are a demon of the outer path! "Inari Goddess shouted angrily.
"Mortal world? According to what you said, what I destroyed was just a mere piece of land in the mortal world, Inari Goddess, why are you so angry? "Sei Itō asked with a mocking face.
"You!" Inari Goddess shouted angrily.
"Alright. Inari Kami, let's not waste our time with useless words. Let's just fight it out. " Sei Itō said coldly, and then he flipped his hand, and a crimson red Innate Fire Divine Lightning shot across the sky like a meteor, and flew towards Inari Goddess.
Inari Goddess who was about to say something changed her expression, and she immediately waved the golden fan in her hand to counter the attack.
"Boom!"
In the violent explosion, Inari Goddess's body couldn't help but fall back a distance, but before she could stand still. Sei Itō's figure suddenly appeared in front of her, and he waved the black blade in his hand, and slashed towards Inari Goddess's neck. Inari Goddess stepped on the ground, and a small ripple appeared in the void. Her body quickly flew back again, and at the same time, the Time Coin behind her fluttered in the air, and it turned into streaks of golden light. It shot towards Sei Itō's body.
But Inari Goddess didn't stop there. She waved the silver fan in her hand, and a golden light that was as bright as the sun shone. A monster with a seven-inch nose, a crimson face, and a pair of eyes and mouth that shone like the sun suddenly appeared in the void. He was wearing a Shinto official robe, a tall black hat on his head, and a pair of black wings on his back. He held a blade in his crimson hand (similar to the Green Dragon Crescent Blade, but narrower by half). He waved his arms and slashed the blade towards Sei Itō's head.
"Tengu? No, it's Saruda Hiko! " Itō Sei, who was wielding the Heavenly Sword in his hand and blocking the golden light shot by Inari Kagami, said as he looked at the monster that suddenly appeared.
Saruda Hiko, the legendary Ancestral God, the stone statue god that could be seen everywhere along the road. He was the original form of Tengu, the God of Travel who had the ability to protect travelers and the safety of the road. In addition, he was also regarded as the 'God of Heaven and Earth' in the Ise Region. Before Amaterasu became the Great Royal God, he was worshipped as the Sun God. However, in the later period, he was grouped together with other gods such as Kurasu Soul Life, Feng Yu Qi Pi Selling God, Baoshi God, Dayi Dobi Selling God, Ruo Yu Jia Selling God, and Mitsuru Jin God. Therefore, it could be said that he was a god with two sides of Inari.
"Looks like Inari Goddess is going all out this time." Sei Itō thought.
However, Ito Sei's movements were not slow at all. He tapped his feet and quickly retreated, dodging Saruda Masahiko's blow by a hair's breadth.
"Bang!"
The Blade that missed its attack immediately slashed the ground, creating a huge crack that was about five meters long and about thirty centimeters wide on the ground.
After dodging the attack, Sei Itō's body turned illusory and split into two. The Celestial Clouds that was holding the Black Blade charged at Saruda Hiko, while the other held the Heavenly Sword and appeared in front of Inari Goddess, attacking both of them at the same time.
"Thousands of creatures that I have raised, help me destroy the demon in front of me!" Inari Goddess's body bloomed with light, forming a spherical golden shield to protect herself in the middle. She blocked Sei Itō's attack while chanting the words of divinity.
Then, ripples appeared in the void. Black bears, tigers, foxes, wild beasts, and all kinds of demons that Sei Itō had never seen before, roared and attacked Sei Itō.
At the same time, a bunch of wheat sprouts rose from the ground and lifted Inari Goddess, who was protected by golden light, into the air.
Sei Itō, who was surrounded, did not change his expression. He stepped on the ground and leaped into the air. But the next moment, the ground where he was standing before began to shake. Then, with a loud bang, a large amount of magma immediately gushed out from the ground, turning into a thick pillar of fire that was dozens of meters in diameter. It enveloped the surrounding monsters and Inari Goddess, who had risen into the air with the help of the wheat sprouts.
As for Sei Itō, at the moment when the magma gushed out, he used teleportation and disappeared from the magma's range. He appeared behind Saruda Hiko, who was also forced away by the magma. He waved his Heavenly Sword and slashed Saruda Hiko's body from top to bottom.
"Puff!"
With a clear muffled sound, Saruda Hiko's body immediately split into two, then turned into two shadows and disappeared into the air.
Then, another Sei Itō appeared beside Sei Itō, who was holding the Heavenly Sword. They raised their heads and looked at the magma pillar in front of them.
After about five to six seconds, Sei Itō, who was holding the Heavenly Sword, suddenly said, "It's about time. You go down and adjust the Leyline. I'll go and freeze the magma."
The latter nodded and did not say anything. His body flashed and landed on the ground. He used his own spiritual energy as a guide to adjust the power of the Leyline that Sei Itō had forcefully activated.
Under the Sei Itō's guidance, the power of the magma spewing out quickly weakened.
Then, Sei Itō, who was holding the Heavenly Sword, flew forward and used his divine thoughts to activate the natural rules in the void. Almost instantly, the temperature in Saga County dropped at a speed visible to the naked eye. It even broke through the zero degree boundary point and continued to drop.
"Crack, crack …"
Layers of fine ice crystals quickly climbed up the surrounding soil, trees, wreckage, and the surface of the magma spewing out, freezing them.
In just a few minutes, the area with a radius of a few miles around Youde Inari Shrine became a world of ice and snow. An extremely thick and irregular icicle stood in the center of the shrine like a miracle of the world.
After a while, the two Sei Itō stopped at the same time and turned back into one person with a soft "puff" sound.
"Next, it's time to go to Kasama Inari Shrine in Ibaraki Prefecture." Sei Itō looked at the huge icicle in front of him and said in a voice that normal people could hear. After saying that, his figure flashed and disappeared into the air.
Then, in the next moment, Sei Itō's figure suddenly appeared above the Kasama Inari Shrine in Kasama City in Ibaraki Prefecture between Saitama, Chiba, and Riki.
