Why would I need something I can break with my bare hands?
Looking at Susanoo's face, which showed no chewing motion at all, Hiro sneered inwardly.
If there was anyone to blame, it was that old villain Kishimoto who designed the MangekyĹŤ Sharingan and Susanoo.
Originally, Hiro had planned to use Mental Out to manipulate the consciousness of the Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi, force it to open a passage to the Otherworld, and locate the thatched hut where Susanoo-no-Mikoto resided.
After that, he would devour the Heretic God.
Then devour the sword.
However, even he hadn't expected that the moment he laid eyes on the Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi, a single thought would surface.
It would be better for Susanoo to eat it.
And so, despite lacking any solid evidence, he followed that intuition and directly stuffed the Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi into Susanoo's massive mouth.
Across from him, Seishuuin Ena-who had silently witnessed the entire process-had fallen into a state she couldn't put into words.
Her beautiful eyes didn't blink even once as she stared at the purple figure behind Hiro.
The expression on her face was exactly like that of an exhausted office worker who had worked all day, paid his "public grain," and then realized the person beneath him wasn't his wife.
A uniquely twisted expression born from a violent collapse of one's worldview.
Shock.
Confusion.
Doubt.
Disbelief.
What did I just hear?
The King isn't a Campione... but Susanoo-no-Mikoto?
The same Susanoo-no-Mikoto that Yuri and I worship?
Like Hiro, Seishuuin Ena stared fixedly at the now-closed purple mouth, her eyes unfocused.
As a Tachi Hime Miko of exceptionally high caliber, Ena's spiritual vision-while not comparable to Mariya Yuri's specialized ability-far surpassed that of ordinary shrine maidens.
Combined with several past encounters with the "Old Man" living in seclusion in the Otherworld, she was deeply familiar with the aura of Susanoo-no-Mikoto.
So she recognized it immediately.
That purple figure was Susanoo-no-Mikoto.
Nearly identical to the "Grandpa" of the Otherworld.
The difference was that the god before her carried not even a trace of Kyouki.
Instead, it radiated a pure, untainted divine aura.
As for why it possessed such a form rather than a human body-
Just as she couldn't understand why there was a second "Grandpa," this mystery clearly exceeded her level of comprehension.
"Um... King..."
"Hm?"
Hearing her hesitant voice, Hiro shifted his gaze away from Susanoo.
While sensing the changes occurring within it, he looked at Ena and smiled faintly.
"For the sake of the Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi, feel free to ask whatever you want."
"Thank you, King!"
Ena's face lit up. She straightened slightly and spoke politely.
"I have many questions, but the most important one is this. What exactly is that thing behind you? Why does it give Ena the same feeling as 'Grandpa,' yet compared to the one in the Otherworld, it has no Kyouki at all? It's like... it's like..."
Hiro smiled, understanding her meaning.
"Like a god that hasn't been polluted by Kyouki and hasn't fallen into becoming a Heretic God?"
"Yes! Exactly! Just like a true Divine Master!"
The Yamato Nadeshiko-like girl nodded repeatedly, her eyes filled with genuine confusion.
She can even tell that much?
Hiro glanced at Ena's brown eyes, feeling faintly surprised.
But this wasn't some secret worth hiding.
"In truth, this-"
Slap.
Hiro casually patted Susanoo's shoulder.
Under Ena's bewildered gaze, he explained slowly.
"It's one of my abilities. And its name is also 'Susanoo.' Just like your Grandpa in the Otherworld."
So basically, I'm taking her Grandpa to kill her Grandpa.
Hiro's thoughts drifted briefly.
"But if it's just an Authority, it shouldn't feel like this. No mythology records Susanoo-no-Mikoto as a subordinate god, and he couldn't possibly be something like the Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi."
"Myths are myths. It's normal for them to differ from reality."
"The fusion of two abilities produced what you're seeing now."
"A god that hasn't been tainted by Kyouki, yet still possesses the aura of 'Susanoo-no-Mikoto.'"
Hiro's lips curled upward.
He looked directly into Ena's eyes and spoke with quiet emphasis.
"More importantly, if I'm not mistaken, Seishuuin Ena, the god you worship is Susanoo-one of the Three Noble Children of Takamagahara, correct?"
Devouring the Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi had granted him advanced swordsmanship knowledge.
The ability to open a channel between the Otherworld and the human world.
The power to forcibly seize magical or cursed energy from weaker beings within a certain range.
And the ability to materialize multiple Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi blades and bestow them upon others.
Furthermore, at a distance of less than two meters, Hiro could faintly "see" wisps of creamy white smoke rising from Ena's body before dispersing into the air.
But before dispersing, a few strands separated from the rest and drifted toward him.
More precisely-
Toward the Susanoo behind him.
Considering Ena's identity as a Hime Miko, the nature of that "white smoke" was obvious.
Incense.
Faith.
Worship directed toward Susanoo-no-Mikoto.
Only now did Susanoo truly meet the definition of the "Susanoo-no-Mikoto" Spirit Grade.
Only now did it obtain a portion of the Authority described in mythology.
Putting it in a more chuunibyou way-
I am God.
The thought surfaced naturally.
And then, strangely, Hiro frowned slightly.
I'm still a human with a pure bloodline.
So how did I end up receiving worship from humans?
Even if Susanoo had been strengthened, it was ultimately an ability derived from myself.
But viewed from another angle-
It wasn't wrong to say that I was the one being worshiped.
"Yes. Just like Yuri, I am also a Hime Miko of that Great One."
Seishuuin Ena looked at the purple figure behind Hiro.
Her expression was complicated.
Then she nodded silently.
