But while plotting against others, you must also be cautious of others plotting against you.

You might not even have the chance to report them before they report you first... Whether it's demonization or divine fall, regardless of how people see it in this world, Gu Mo's current state is quite taboo, exposing it might bring a concentrated attack from the gods.

Gu Mo is well aware of this, so letting Visakha's group leave unscathed is not an option.

——They've seen things they shouldn't have...

——And there's someone among them who's undercover...

"Enough of the nonsense! Come on, let's have an honorable battle!" The golden-haired Valkyrie shouted, then stumbled, "You, with your so-called justice, just... ugh!"

She instinctively wanted to call out the opponent's title, just as she was used to doing on the battlefield, but then quickly realized and stopped suddenly. After all, she would never admit that the other is a companion of justice, that's just self-aggrandizing to disgust her!

"Did you not remember the name I just said?" Gu Mo nodded understandingly, and added helpfully, "Then I'll say it again, I'm a companion of justice, Emiya Shirou..."

"Scoundrel! Weren't you Zheng Zha just a moment ago?" Visakha was momentarily startled, then erupted in anger, realizing the opponent did it on purpose.

Gu Mo fell silent, simply raising his right hand gently, the brilliance between his palm and fingers flickering, then surging forth again. The fleeting light in the air was the illusionary reflection of the dense scales of a giant white snake, this colossal being coiling and winding around Gu Mo, its faintly revealed form enough to be breathtaking.

And unlike its previous noble and awe-inspiring presence, it was now imbued with a strong demon qi, its cold vertical pupils filled with a fierce menace as if ready to devour someone.

The guardian spirit and the host influence each other, and after Gu Mo's demonization, even the more divine and harmonious side of the White Viper underwent a change, becoming a Desolate Soul Transformation, naturally more aggressive.

In Visakha's eyes across the way, the self-proclaimed pacifist demon wielded the snake sword, striking as if with a giant laser beam, or like an unimaginable giant snake stretching its body.

With a rumbling roar, the mountains and forests trembled slightly, dust soared high, and one by one the thick, century-old trees toppled over like wheat.

Yet in the blink of an eye, with Zhao Ma's reminders, Visakha narrowly avoided the unmatchable sharpness, advancing instead of retreating, braving the terrifying airwaves and shockwaves, and against the wind pressure able to cut through iron and stone, surged forward like a piercing arrow!

Like lightning, the distance between them closed instantly.

Throughout countless battles large and small in his life, this martial god was well aware of his current disadvantage and the only opportunity he had. Ultimately, his opponent is just bullying the weak with brute strength, relying on their own terrifying power and the divine artifact.

Unable to resist that terrifying attack and its destructive range, there's no escape, and retreating would be tantamount to being a sitting duck... The only slim chance of survival is to fight fiercely close up and violently break the stalemate!

"Die!"

"I've been waiting for you."

Gu Mo took out a delicate small box and placed it in his hand, facing the oncoming golden-haired Valkyrie filled with murderous intent, gently lifted the box lid with the Kikyo Seal stamped on it, and playfully called out, "Take this—Demon-Sealing Wave!"

One effect of the Soul Core Box is sealing objects from the Mortal World, and residents of the world's crevices fall into this category and can be captured.

"Wha..." Visakha's pupils contracted sharply!

But it was already too late, silently and without a trace.

Accompanied by a crisp clanging sound and some other noises, that solitary great sword, the long whip, and those Sakura Ear Studs, nude jacket, Westerner's armor, and other such divine artifacts fell scattered across the ground, lacking only the presence of their owner.

This scene looked very horrifying, as if Visakha's body had evaporated in an instant, leaving only a heap of divine artifacts.

The next moment, the divine artifacts on the ground emitted light, but following immediately was a massive fiery-red, smooth furred, and fluffy tail suppressing fiercely, subduing the group of artifacts trying to revolt.

"..."

"..."

After being ravaged, the forest became riddled with holes and unrecognizable, finally ushering a brief moment of silence, as if the curtain had fallen on the battlefield.

It's over...

Yato, who had observed the entire process from afar, swallowed hard, not knowing if he should feel relieved it was all over or bitterness... Visakha had been dealt with, next it should be his turn, right?

He hadn't thought of sneaking away, but from start to finish, there was a violent aura locked onto him, making him lack confidence in his teleportation. After all, activation needed a little time, and in that time the opponent could swing the snake-shaped sword at him several times?

"Hey... are you, are you okay now?"

In the silence, Yato stared at the opponent's back and cautiously asked, although it felt odd to say so, he felt as though the opponent didn't appear to be out of control, not like those who turned insane after the divine fall.
