Chapter 301: Battle Between Deities

May and Wax Figure's involvement was Adam's main source of confidence.

Only Adam knew how much he had to sacrifice to persuade the two of them to help him in this operation.

Wax Figure was relatively easy to convince. After seeing Adam's potential, his attitude toward Adam had taken a drastic turn. The northern congress required an injection of new blood, so he was obligated to help and nurture Adam.

However, May was a completely different case.

She was a very cautious person, and she was very reluctant to become overly involved in politics, particularly political conflicts.

Thankfully, Wax Figure met up with her in person to recruit her help, and the pawn shop and the northern congress had worked together on many past occasions, thereby establishing a precedent for collaboration. Otherwise, the pawn shop wouldn't have sided with the northern congress during the Carlin Asylum incident.

Even so, it had taken further convincing for her to finally agree to participate in this operation.

Firstly, Hebi no Miko wasn't allied with the southern congress. She was a massive problem, but she had no backers, so there would be no repercussions from eliminating her.

If they had been targeting an important figure in the southern congress, then she definitely wouldn't have agreed to participate as she didn't want to have to deal with the resulting repercussions.

Secondly, with Mechguard reinforcements on the way, all she and Wax Figure had to do was keep Hebi no Miko occupied for enough time. Hence, they didn't have to defeat her, thereby significantly raising their chances of success.

Thirdly, Adam had agreed to help out the pawn shop free of charge for the rest of his life. Given his potential and status, this was a very good deal for May.

Adam had also tried to recruit Sadou for this operation, seeing as Sadou also had very close ties with the nothern congress, but he was even more cautious than May.

Furthermore, Sadou didn't have any ambitions for wealth or power, so no matter what Adam said to try and recruit him, he refused to take the risk.

However, Adam was confident that he had already assembled a sufficiently powerful team if all they had to do was stall for time.

Not only was he convinced of this, even Hebi no Miko was beginning to look concerned for the very first time.

Given the urgency of the situation, and Hebi no Miko didn't waste any more time with words. As a top-tier adapter who was also a psychic mutant, she possessed confidence and insanity in equal measure, and she backed herself to take on any opponent and come out on top.

A resounding thump rang out in the air as dense mist began to surge out of her body, and a gargantuan serpent that was several hundred meters in length slowly emerged.

This was the legendary world destroyer in Japanese mythology, and even though Adam had already seen Yamata no Orochi in its ultimate form once before, he still couldn't help but be stunned by this awe-inspiring sight.

At the same time, he immediately rushed back in retreat.

There was no way that he could play a part in a battle of this caliber, and he had only been able to weather the initial storm thanks to the multiple evolutions that Sludge had recently undergone.

Thankfully, after transforming into Yamata no Orochi, Hebi no Miko didn't prioritize Adam as her target.

She was deranged, but not stupid, and she knew that if she were to get distracted while facing two other top-tier adapters, then she really would be playing with fire.

After completing her transformation, Hebi no Miko shook her body vigorously to get rid of the wax that was covering her scales. Immediately thereafter, she began to blast all types of technomantic attacks at Artemis out of her eight heads.

In the face of the barrage of oncoming attacks, Artemis flapped her wings and transformed into a streak of greenish-golden light that danced through the air at an astonishing speed.

She was so fast that Adam was completely unable to track her with his telegnosis. All he could see of her was a thin greenish-golden line in the sky.

Her speed was so incredible that not only was she able to evade all of the oncoming attacks, she was able to do so with such ease that she even had the time to retaliate.

She drew her bow and took aim at one of Yamata no Orochi's heads, then fired a green arrow through the air.

The arrow transformed into a streak of light and pierced directly into Yamata no Orochi's fortress-like scales, displaying tremendous penetrative power.

Adam had witnessed Yamata no Orochi's defensive prowess, and he knew that it was able to directly withstand Diana's attacks without any trouble, but Artemis's arrows were able to break through those defenses seemingly with ease.

After the arrow pierced into Yamata no Orochi's body, it suddenly began to sprout branches. Initially, it was only a small seedling, but in just the blink of an eye, it had already grown into an all-encompassing vine.

The vine was leeching Yamata no Orochi's blood and power while growing rapidly, and it didn't take long before the vine had wound itself around Yamata no Orochi's entire body.

Of course, Yamata no Orochi wasn't just going to allow itself to be bound, and it struggled and thrashed violently to free itself, but whenever it managed to snap the vine, more vines would simply sprout out of those snapped sections, thereby further compounding its woes.

Furthermore, Artemis had more than just one type of arrow.

While Yamata no Orochi was bound by the vines, she fired a second arrow.

This was a golden arrow, and she had fired it into the sky. The arrow split up into two mid-flight, following which the two arrows split up into four, and it didn't take long before a vast storm of golden arrows had appeared.

Immediately thereafter, the golden arrows rained down upon Yamata no Orochi in a torrential barrage, with the vast majority of them striking their target, while the occasional loose arrow was able to pierce all the way through tall buildings several hundreds of meters in height.

The penetrative power of her arrows is insane! Cowboy has a similar attack, but the difference in destructive power is night and day!

Adam was looking on from afar in astonishment at the epic battle unfolding before his eyes.

The battle between Diana and Oni no Miko's version of Yamata no Orochi during the battle royale had seemed like a battle between deities in his eyes, but these two almighty beings were making that battle seem like nothing more than a battle between a pair of pseudo-deities.

The storm of golden arrows shot countless holes into Yamata no Orochi's body, while the vines continued to restrict and bind it.

After that, Artemis pulled out her third arrow, a transparent arrow that resembled diamond or crystal.

This arrow was larger than the previous two, and it was clear that Artemis was pulling back her bowstring with greater force prior to firing the arrow.

A huge amount of divine power was injected into the transparent arrow, making it glow with scintillating radiance.

Adam knew that attacks that had to be charged up like this one were generally extremely powerful attacks. When given sufficient time to accumulate power, Nie Yiyi had been capable of unleashing attacks far more powerful than her base attacks, and May was countless times more powerful than Nie Yiyi, so one could only imagine just how fearsome this arrow was going to be.

In order to ensure that Artemis could prepare her attack in peace, Wax Figure finally entered the fray. He rushed toward Yamata no Orochi at an incredible speed, and as he did so, enormous volumes of wax gushed out of his body like a wave.

As soon as he reached Yamata no Orochi, the wave of wax also enveloped its entire body.

It was already being restricted by Artemis's vines, and the wave of wax certainly wasn't helping its cause.
