I planted a sacred tree in Tokyo.

Chapter 104 Second Transformation
"Fire!"

Upon hearing about the 'Sea Ninja's' past, the Metropolitan Police Department was the most excited!
If they could recruit sea ninja, their current predicament would be greatly alleviated; besides, could they possibly cooperate with 'Kyujira'?
boom! boom! boom!
On the incoming armed helicopter,
The special police officers pulled the triggers one after another, their large-caliber anti-materiel sniper rifles spitting out deadly armor-piercing rounds.

Only their extraordinary vision could barely keep up with the two figures moving at high speed during the battle.

Only this kind of weapon can pose even the slightest threat to something that is incredibly fast.

But it's only a small part.
Ding ding ding,

In the midst of the fierce battle, Kyūjīra drew an arc with his bone sword and sent those 20mm armor-piercing bullets flying!
"Continue the attack,"

Director Zhu Ya, who was personally on the front lines, gave the order.

So what if they get blocked? As long as they can disrupt 'Kujira' in the fierce battle, they can tip the scales of victory in favor of 'Umi-nin'.

Armed helicopters belonging to the Metropolitan Police Department hovered hundreds of meters away from the battlefield, firing continuously. This distance was nothing to superhumans, but Kyūjīra, who was in the midst of the fierce battle, clearly had no time to pay attention to these 'flies'.

The two people (?) in the midst of the battle merely frowned slightly, but said nothing.

They were all seasoned demons or extraordinary beings, so naturally they couldn't expect a 'one-on-one duel without anyone interfering'.

What's more -

It wasn't just the Metropolitan Police Department that rushed to the scene.

splash,

The sea below was churning with waves, and a dragon-shaped stream of water suddenly surged out, baring its fangs and claws as it lunged toward the helicopter.

"careful!"

"An extraordinary attack is imminent below."

The helicopters on alert took off to avoid the water, but one helicopter, unable to escape in time, was hit by the water jet and spun around before crashing to the side.

Whoosh, whoosh,

Two superhuman SWAT officers wearing exoskeleton armor kicked open the hatch and leaped out, taking the pilot with them.

Glug glug

In the ocean, a figure holding an umbrella emerges from the water.

At the same time, white mist surrounded him, obscuring his figure.

"It's the 'Rain Woman' again."

The Metropolitan Police Department is prepared for other possible supernatural scenarios.

"Fuji Seiko, take two super-special police officers and a kappa to set up defenses in Area C and stop the Rain Woman."

"Yes!"

The exoskeleton armor with a flight backpack, while not allowing for sophisticated maneuvers, is sufficient for escape.

Three extraordinary special police officers landed on the shore of Haian, along with a 'kappa' carrying a turtle shell, and stood ready in the face of the sea fog: the next second, a giant water dragon bared its fangs and claws and pounced.

"puff--"

Not to be outdone, the 'kappa' opened its mouth and spat out a torrent of water that immediately met it.

The seaside setting is their home turf!

The two surging streams of water collided violently, stirring up white foam, and they looked evenly matched.
"very good,"

"Although the Rain Woman can also control water, she is clearly not as professional as the 'Kappa'."

but
Director Zhuya, who had been surveying the entire battlefield, noticed that the Rain Woman, who had appeared long ago, was not simply someone who could control water.

Swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh,

Sure enough, a whooshing sound came from the thick fog, and countless steel needles shot out like rain.

? !
Seeing the dense barrage of bullet-like steel needles, the kappa forgot all about spitting out water and turned around on the spot:
Its limbs and head retracted, leaving only a huge tortoise shell.

Clang, clang, clang! ! !

Although it is only rated as 'wolf level', the kappa's turtle shell, enhanced by 'demon power', is a sturdy defense that can withstand armor-piercing bullets.

"Defensive stance!"

Fuji Seiko and her two companions were prepared.

As he retreated, he took down the large shield behind him and used the composite armor shield to block in front of him.

When fighting against extraordinary beings, there is often no time to dodge, so they can only rely on their equipment to withstand the attacks: with the support of the entire island nation's resources, the high-tech shields they wield are made of materials that are tough enough.

Ding ding dang dang

"fight back!"

Crouching on the ground, using shields to block the steel needles, three extraordinary SWAT officers held anti-tank sniper rifles in one hand, directly above the shields, and continuously fired back.

boom!boom!boom!boom!
With the help of high-tech night vision devices, even in dense fog, the approximate location of the other party can still be pinpointed.

Three extraordinary special police officers formed a tactical team, along with the 'kappa' who tumbled and crawled back and forth, and temporarily dragged the 'rain woman' to the shore.

Meanwhile, other armed helicopters rappelled down from the surrounding high-rise buildings, and the newly added special police officers found their positions and set up sniper rifles to prepare for the attack.
Ok?
"Discovered Yamagami Toru,"

"Coordinates XXX, XXX, Should we snipe?"

"No,"

Director Zhu Ya's gaze swept across the area and she saw a figure appear on the rooftop of a building in the seaside town.

"Do not attack him until he shows hostility."

Director Takeya naturally knew who Yamagami Toru was.

He came to the scene mostly to prevent the situation from escalating; in a sense, he can be considered an 'ally' of the government.

Unfortunately, since the island nation's government has made up its mind to help the "Sea Ninja," it will inevitably escalate the situation.

Whoosh—whoosh—whoosh—

During the conversation,

Several missiles, trailing plumes of flame, streaked across the distance and plummeted toward the center of the battlefield!

?

In the midst of fierce battle,

Kyūjōra and Kainin both looked up at the same time, choosing to deal with these things first.

With a swing of the bone knife, the water surged into the sky like a long whip; with three raised left hands, kunai and shuriken shot into the air.

Intercepting missiles with 'hidden weapons' is something only extraordinary beings could do—as the water whip and kunai hit the missiles, these man-made weapons immediately exploded in mid-air.

Boom, boom, boom!

The explosion was not violent, and there wasn't even much of a shockwave. Instead, large plumes of white 'mist' poured down like sand and dust.

? !
"Lord Hai Ren, please retreat to the shore!"

Director Zhu Ya's words came through the helicopter's loudspeaker.

Faced with the 'white mist' descending from above, Hai Shin retreated, while Kyūjīra pursued relentlessly.

As the white mist settled, the sea immediately crackled and popped; though the sun was still shining brightly overhead, a chilling cold had already spread.

"Is it liquid nitrogen?"

No, there were tiny crystals falling from that white 'mist', rapidly dissolving as they fell. That was solid nitrogen obtained through further cooling!
The blogger 'KYG', who was live-streaming from the side, was stunned. He didn't expect the government to actually use such a 'freezing missile'.

As solid nitrogen gas fell into the sea, patches of ice immediately formed along the coast.

"Without the fluctuations of magic, human creations are truly amazing."

The woman on the nearby rooftop spoke with a hint of curiosity. "Lady Kani-hime."

Blogger 'KYG' raised his hand and cautiously began to speak.

"Aren't you going to stop all of this?"

"why?"

The little girl tilted her head and asked innocently.

"The battle just now was just a test. Uncle Kyukira and Sister Kainin didn't use their full strength."

? !
As the seawater along the coast froze over, the battlefield moved ashore.

Even after reaching the shore, Kyūjīra's bone sword remained as fierce as ever, his feet felt as if they were on solid rock, each step heavy as a thousand pounds, and his charge and run were like a whirlwind. In contrast, the sea ninja's wild katana moved swiftly and ruthlessly, his whole body as light as a feather, effortless, leaving afterimages as he moved through the air.

Even without using other abilities, the two fought fiercely with only their dual swords.

In the midst of the fierce battle, Hainin slashed forward with his nodachi, creating a whistling wind blade that instantly cut the building behind Kyukira in half, and then flicked it diagonally upwards.

Rumble, rumble~~~
Half of the building slid down and the two had already fought their way into the city!

Just then, a boy rushed over.

?

"Get out of the way,"

With one of Hai Ren's three left hands raised, he threw a kunai, which accurately hit the opponent's thigh.

However, this 'boy' dragged his injured leg and charged into the battlefield.

Pfft

The short knife pierced the opponent's chest, but Hai Ren frowned slightly.

Because the 'boy's' body dissolved like mud and then appeared on the shoulder of the sea ninja.

"Stop, you two!"

Saito, whose upper body appeared on the shoulder of the sea ninja, was pointing his sword at Kyūjōra opposite him.

"You have entered a human city; please leave now."

"Otherwise, I will have no choice but to join this battle."

Snapped,
Suddenly, three left hands grabbed Saito's hands, two hands seized his hands, and the other hand choked his mouth, silencing the rest of his words.

"Human brat,"

"You think you can intervene in our battle just because you possess the abilities of 'Kawamaru'?"

The so-called "Kawaju" is a kind of island monster that sometimes appears as a child and sometimes as an old woman. Although it can possess and steal bodies, it will always remember those who have been kind to it.

"No, I just want to stop you."

"You're not qualified!!"

Black lines spread across 'Sea Ninja's' skin, and visible 'demon power' burned across her skin like flames.

Then--

boom! ! !
A violent shockwave erupted from the center of the sea ninja and surged outwards in all directions!
The shockwave alone uprooted the surrounding trees and streetlights, and billowing dust formed a ring that engulfed several streets, including Saito Suke who was sent flying backwards.

? !
"This force."

Like skipping stones, Saito tumbled and rolled dozens of times on the ground before finally managing to lie down and stop himself.

He was not only shocked that the other party had sent him flying, but also because the force he felt was very familiar.

That's how they felt when they gained power in prison.

"cut!!!"

Without giving Saito a second glance as he flew backward, the nodachi, raised high, changed its previous nimble and agile movements and slashed forward violently!
The bone longsword, not to be outdone, met the incoming nodachi with unwavering composure.

As the two weapons collided, ripples spread through the air like water.

The next moment, a crashing sound pierced the sky!

Clang—

The gale raged outwards from the point of impact between the two, spreading in all directions.

Sand and dust flew everywhere, obscuring even the sunlight; wherever the shockwave reached, the walls of roadside buildings began to crack extensively, and then collapsed in large sections; the load-bearing columns were broken in the middle, and the high-strength building steel embedded inside was deformed and twisted, like soft butter.

The impact spread and expanded, causing cracks to appear ten, fifty, or even hundreds of meters long!
The force of the single strike caused a shockwave that engulfed the entire street, causing the face of the island nation's high-ranking official, who witnessed the entire event through the monitoring equipment on the helicopter, to twitch.

This is incredibly powerful! It's almost as powerful as a thermobaric weapon!

A fierce wind, seemingly from nowhere, swept through, quickly dispersing the dust and smoke. From the center of Kyūjīra and Umi-no-Kami, the earth radiated outwards in a dozen twisted fissures, their depths unfathomable.

But behind Kyukira was a triangular flat area, as if it had been cut off by scissors, neat and tidy.

what? !

Faced with the sudden outbreak of the sea ninja,
Almost everyone subconsciously had the thought that 'Kyujira' had lost.

However, in fact—

"My friend, please lend me your power!"

Amidst the solemn voice, countless 'bones' sprouted from Kyūjīra's entire body.

These bones emerged directly from his body, rapidly forming a skeletal breastplate, shoulder armor, wrist guards, and leg guards. In the blink of an eye, a warrior clad in skeletal armor appeared in the center of the battlefield.

If the previous Kyukira was only wearing a breastplate, an eboshi hat, and a white skirt with water patterns, it was similar to the casual attire of a samurai going out hunting;

Now, Kyokotsuki is truly a general, fully armed and ready for battle!
"Hahaha, that's more like it."

The once taciturn 'Sea Ninja' has also undergone a dramatic change in appearance. Her black hair flows behind her like a banner in the wind; two sharp 'demon horns' on her forehead point towards the sky. Although her figure is still slender and fit, her height has increased to two meters.

The originally excessively long 'nodachi' has been transformed into a weapon that suits her body shape.

This is the true form of her Shadow Ninja clan!
"A thousand-year-old feud—"

"One strike!"

Amidst a soft chant, the transformed Hai Ren once again swung his sword, slashing forward vertically!

A massive crescent moon shot out, its destructive force tearing everything in its path: streets, buildings, beaches, until it disappeared into the sea.

It was like a submarine loaded with ammunition detonating underwater. A huge explosion rose into the air from the seaside, radiating outward from the center to form a circular vacuum zone: within this zone, the soil, seawater, and ice were instantly shattered.

Several armed helicopters that were too close were also swept up by the shockwave, tumbling like duckweed and crashing to the ground and the sea.

"Dance of the Maidenhair Flower!"

The next second, as Kyūjīra's voice rang out, a beam of light swept across the coastline.

Rumble rumble rumble rumble~~~
Buildings that had been cut in half began to collapse.
Looking around, the damage had spread to the entire coastal neighborhood: amidst the smoke and dust, a 'whip' hundreds of meters long was the culprit behind the destruction.

No, that's not a whip!
Upon closer inspection, everyone present, as well as those watching the battlefield through high-resolution cameras, realized that it was a gigantic spine, hundreds of meters long.

The end was attached to the hand of 'Kyujira', the very general whose armor was made of bones, who wielded this giant bone sword.

"What's this?"

Director Zhuya muttered to herself on the helicopter.

"Does the BOSS transform in its second phase?"

"You read that right, Director."

Iori Kazuka, standing next to her, picked up the conversation and started complaining.
"The good news is that the two bosses are evenly matched; the bad news is that we are preparing to step in."

This destructive power is no longer 'Tiger-level'! It's already 'Demon-level'!
