Susanoo's eyes widened as Maria vanished and a giant wasp appeared in her place, its sharp stinger piercing his chest. In the next instant, Maria reappeared, her sword plunging deep into the wound.
"I couldn't feel her presence...! She disappeared... it felt... hahaha, like a mere bug was approaching?! I instinctively paid it no mind..."
Yet he gripped his blade with fierce determination.
"It's not over!"
RUMBLE!
His Aura erupted violently. Swords surged from within, slashing toward Maria.
She summoned her Dome of Swords, shielding herself while deftly evading the thousands of blades raining down.

Then she transformed into a thunderous wasp once more, closing the distance in a flash.
Swords clashed. Storms raged. The heavens themselves trembled.
"Damn it, Susanoo! Don't destroy the entire Heavenly Realm!"
Amaterasu groaned angrily, preparing to hurl a sunbeam at him.

Maria's swords grew erratic, sometimes striking like a wasp, other times...
