"Oh? You arrived just in time. Any later, and these people would have been corroded by the Black Wind emanating from me."

The Heretic God Yama spoke casually. gazing at the group before him. Except for Haru, everyone else seemed like mere ants in his eyes.

He was like something straight out of mythology, with finely sculpted features and an aura of overwhelming power that radiated from within. 

Most importantly, no matter how savage, brutal, or violent he appeared, one couldn't deny the sheer divinity of his power. 

He was like an embodiment of Acala, the Immovable Wisdom King (Vidyārāja)!

Just standing before him, an irresistible urge to kneel and bow in submission arose. Fear welled up from the depths of their hearts. It was Scary! And all this from just being in his presence!

Everyone, except for Haru, was facing a god for the first time, experiencing the dread of divine power firsthand. 

He simply stood on the eaves of the house, yet they were frozen, unable to even blink. If not for Haru standing before them, shielding them from the brunt of his divine might, they wouldn't even be able to stand.

For mortals to stand before a God was a miracle in itself. No matter how talented or monstrous they were, in the face of a god, they were no more significant than pebbles on the roadside.

"Is this the kind of monster Haru has been facing all this time?" The mere sight of him had paralyzed them, and seeing Haru's bloodthirsty and battle-hungry demeanor. 

Sora felt a pang of fear for the first time. She felt inadequate, unworthy of the boy standing before her. The fear of losing him gripped her heart, and she clenched her fists. 

"Hmm?" The Heretic God Yama noticed Sora's movement. 

"Such potential! Young lady, even if it's just a sliver, you are able to move before me. Very well! I grant you permission to witness this. Witness this moment, as the ancient Heavenly Emperor descends upon the mortal realm once more!" 

Yama's voice grew louder, booming like thunder. But no matter how loud his voice became, everyone understood his words perfectly. 

This was the language of divine will. If a god allowed you to listen, you would hear. If not, unless you had reached the realm of gods, you would be deaf to any sound.

"Go forth and proclaim this, mortals! Etch this sight into your memories, as the ancient Heavenly Emperor returns to Earth to weave a new myth! 

I command the earth, rule the underworld, grasp the heavens, and govern the Three Realms! I now cast aside the mantle of Yama, returning to my origin! 

I am the East Peak Heavenly Sovereign, the Benevolent Sage Emperor!" The Heretic God Yama, holding the Stone Amulet, roared deafeningly.

As his divine roar echoed, the form of the Heretic God Yama changed. His appearance transformed, becoming incredibly handsome, his features rivaling Adonis, Greek God Of Beauty and desire. 

He wore a black and gold robe embroidered with dragon patterns, a black crown adorned his head, and the Stone Amulet transformed into a miniature Mountain.

about 10 centimeters tall, radiating boundless and heavy divine power, no, it was more accurate to call it the weight of imperial might. 

Haru stared, dumbfounded, as the ugly, charcoal-like Yama evolved into an impossibly handsome being.

Then, Haru's eyes shimmered with golden light as he gazed intently at the Heretic God Yama, no, he should be called the Heretic God Heavenly Emperor now, and the miniature Mountain in his hand. His eyes glowed with a fervent light.

An ugly, charcoal-like Yama, someone who could never be considered handsome, had become so attractive using this divine tool.

Wouldn't he become even more irresistible if he used it? He could probably just snap his fingers, and countless beauties would line up, begging to marry him!

Haru nodded to himself. This Heretic God Heavenly Emperor was despicable. He acted recklessly, killed indiscriminately, trampled on flowers and grass, and destroyed buildings. Such a vile god deserved to be eliminated.

Therefore, he would strike first.

"I shall become steel!"

"O, dragon Fafnir, grant me the fate of immortality!" He activated Steel Immortality, and the phantom of Fafnir enveloped him.

My magical energy consumption has decreased by 30%. The Sagely Scripture techniques are indeed effective! Haru thought to himself. *Now, activate the Authority - Power of Life!*

Back at the Migiwa residence, the people who were on the verge of death glowed with a green light, the life force of the earth. In just a few seconds, their pale faces regained their rosy color.

Although he didn't turn around, Haru could feel the grateful gazes of the two Migiwa sisters behind him.

He channeled his magical energy, unleashing an invisible repulsive force that slammed into the Heavenly Emperor. However, the Heavenly Emperor didn't resist, allowing Haru to send him flying. 

Haru negated his own gravity and leaped into the air. A sonic boom erupted as he created a series of afterimages, chasing after the Heavenly Emperor. Both man and God tacitly sought a suitable battlefield.

A minute later, they left the Okukozome area and entered a primeval forest near Mount Ooiwa on the outskirts of Ashikaga City.

This is the place. It's remote enough, Haru thought to himself.

Then, in the next instant, his body bent into a U-shape as he was sent flying! The attack came from the miniature Mountain in the Heavenly Emperor's hand, which had transformed from the original Stone Amulet. This divine tool was crafted by the early inhabitants of Mount Tai, carved from a unique stone found on the summit as a statue of the Heavenly Emperor. 

It had been worshipped for thousands of years in Asia until the turbulent era when the descendants of those ancient inhabitants died out, and the statue was lost. Eventually, it ended up in the hands of Migiwa Ichirou.

Thousands of years of worship and faith in the mountain God had imbued this divine tool with a mass equivalent to A Mountain!

Once used in an attack, its power was enough to destroy everything!

Struck by a mass equal to a mountain range, a deafening metallic clang resonated through the sky. Haru's body crashed into the ground, creating a massive crater fifty meters in diameter and an unknown depth in the dense forest.

The earth trembled, rocks and debris flew through the air, triggering a magnitude 6 earthquake that shook the entire Kanto region.

Seeing this, the Heavenly Emperor threw the miniature Mountain once more. As it flew through the air, it grew rapidly, transforming from its original size of ten centimeters to meters. It became a majestic and imposing mountain peak

Towering over a thousand meters, it pressed down relentlessly, burying Haru alive beneath the earth.
