I planted a sacred tree in Tokyo.

Chapter 115 Showing off muscles
brush,

The massive alloy door, half a meter thick, slid open silently in front of them.

Before them was a metal corridor, fifty meters long, five meters wide, and three meters high. As Yu and the others stepped into the corridor, the silver-white zinc plates on the walls began to function, emitting a faint white light that eliminated any viruses or bacteria present on their bodies.

"It's very high-tech,"

"Won't a bunch of 'zombies' or even a 'tyrant' jump out the next second?"

"Young Master Yu, this is Chiyoda Underground."

Iori Ichika gave a sarcastic reply.

"Even if such an experiment existed, it wouldn't be conducted in a place like this."

"Then what else is worth seeing?"

Seeing Yu's 'disappointed' expression, Iori Kazuka twitched the corner of her mouth and pointed forward.

"Just follow me and you'll find out."

The group followed the Metropolitan Police Department personnel through the long metal corridor: it now appeared to serve only a disinfection function, but everyone understood that if needed, this corridor could become a dangerous death trap that buried lives.

As the heavy metal door at the end of the corridor slid open automatically, everyone was startled.

What appeared before them was a space the size of a football field!
This area is sunken down more than ten meters, and it contains streets, houses, and mannequins, making it look like a test site for a simulated city.
This gesture drew a slight glance from the crowd.
Keep in mind, this is the underground area of ​​Chiyoda, Tokyo.

"Below the Metropolitan Police Department, there's a place like this: could it have been converted from an air-raid shelter?"

"Could there be some kind of fighting arena under the Tokyo Dome?"

"Brother You, you're absolutely right."

Iori Kazuka had no reason to hide this.

"Back then, after this place was bombed, the powerful and wealthy who returned to Tokyo built a large number of underground air-raid shelters and refuge facilities; now it's time to put them to good use."

The "Great Bombing" that Yi Hua mentioned is the infamous "LeMay Firebombing." Over 10 people died overnight, and millions fled to the countryside. Everywhere was filled with "familiar faces." Terrified, the island nation's leadership naturally built a large number of underground air defense facilities when rebuilding Tokyo.

This underground space in front of us is how it came about.

Of course, none of that matters; what matters is the purpose of coming here:
"Welcome everyone."

"Sorry, the meeting took up too much time."

Director Zhu Ya rushed over from the other side, followed by a group of people in white coats.

"The reason I've gathered you all here today is to discuss our upcoming extraordinary cooperation. But before that, please observe a demonstration."

As Director Zhu Ya raised her hand to signal, everyone's gaze fell on the 'simulated city' below: with a series of clicking sounds, one side of the metal wall of this simulated space opened, and several figures of varying heights and builds walked out.

"Demon?"

"Earth Spider"

"There are even superhuman prisoners?!"

Indeed, emerging from the metal wall were a minotaur-like monster, a truck-sized spider, and a person dressed in black and white stripes: clearly, they were all extraordinary beings secretly captured by the Metropolitan Police Department, and judging from their arrogant and unruly demeanor, they were most likely unwilling to submit to the island nation's government.

"The 'Ushioni' monster appeared in Sendai City, resulting in the deaths of 6 police officers, injuries and deaths of 24 civilians, and economic losses."

Director Zhuya pushed up her non-prescription glasses and turned to look at the combination of the middle-aged man and the high school girl.

"Thanks to Mr. Sakuma, otherwise the casualties would have been even greater."

"This is what I should do."

The middle-aged man, with his scholarly air, did not take credit.

"In the face of a crisis, someone always has to step forward: especially since I am a teacher."

"But it is still commendable. On behalf of the Metropolitan Police Department, I thank Mr. Sakuma."

After speaking, Director Zhuya turned to look at those 'extraordinary beings' and continued:

"The Tsuchigumo appeared in Shiga Prefecture, in the Ibuki Mountains. By the time we discovered it, it had already devoured 642 people in the nearby Ibuki village. Its crimes are heinous!"

"After gaining superhuman abilities, the superhuman Mizuno Kyuto raped and murdered six young girls, along with 32 of their relatives."

"Extraordinary person."

As Director Zhu Ya recounted their experiences one by one, everyone gained a certain understanding of the 'great achievements' of these extraordinary beings below.

Actually, these 'crimes' are nothing special!

After all, in human society, it has always been a case of the victor taking all. General LeMay, who burned Tokyo, causing 10 deaths, countless injuries, and millions of people to be displaced, was awarded the Order of the Rising Sun, First Class, by the island nation.

However, the American general dismissed it, even preferring to wear the Russian Patriotic War medal.
The reason these extraordinary individuals appeared at this testing site was simply because they:
Not only did they lose!

Moreover, they were unwilling to pledge allegiance to the powerful and wealthy.

Then there is only——

"let's start."

Following Director Zhu Ya's signal

The gate on the other side of the test site slowly opened with a hiss.

? !
Two teams of extraordinary special police officers, clad in exoskeletons with not an inch of skin exposed, stepped out; hovering in the sky was a car-sized aircraft with four propellers, resembling an enlarged version of a 'drone'; and a war man, three meters tall and ten meters long, resembling a giant scorpion?
These things looked like they had stepped out of a science fiction movie, which surprised the many extraordinary beings watching from above the experimental site.

Is it
"The experiment begins,"

"Disable the ability to act on all extraordinary targets."

"Repeat that."

A cold, electronic voice rang out above the testing ground, causing the newly released extraordinary beings to look up.

They had already spotted a large group of people not far above: besides the damned Metropolitan Police Department personnel, there were also men, women, and children: judging from their fearless yet curious expressions, it was easy to tell that they were all extraordinary beings.

And isn't the notification that's ringing now saying:

"Damn it, is the Metropolitan Police Department using us as an example to scare the rest?!"

A young man in prison clothes cursed angrily, "So what if I killed a few prostitutes? They won't even let me surrender?"
Who told him that one of the girls he raped and murdered was the daughter of a congressman?

Even if it means risking his future, he must die!

After he said that, the other prisoners realized that the Metropolitan Police Department, having lost its patience, was about to make an example of them.

brush---

The whooshing sound from beside them caused several superhuman prisoners to scramble to get out of the way.

"What's wrong with this guy?!"

Attacking them were giant 'earth spiders': not only them, but also other 'bullet demons' and the like were included.

"ssssssssssssssssssssssssssss~~"

After shooing away the 'little insects' that it found dangerous, the giant spider immediately crawled toward a house, preparing to begin spinning its nest there.

Buzzing

However, a strange 'flying insect' has already come from the sky, making the giant 'earth spider' feel a great threat.

"hiss!!!"

Raising its upper body, the earth spider tried to intimidate the 'flying insect';
However, what it doesn't realize is that such an action makes it a target when facing technological creations:
There were four propellers in the sky, which looked like the belly of an enlarged drone, with a flash of light from the flat muzzle.

Pfft

There was no booming of cannons, nor any flames shooting into the sky. Instead, the air in the trajectory of the cannonball was severely distorted and deformed, with faint flashes of lightning and a hissing sound of electricity visible in the air. After being hit by the cannonball, half of the Earth Spider's long leg, along with the building beneath its feet, suddenly collapsed and turned into dust.
"This is the magnetic cannon carried by the 'Falcon',"

As the second aircraft, codenamed 'Falcon,' fired, blasting the other long leg of the Earth Spider into powder, the massive monster, before it could do anything, collapsed naked in the dust. "...Magnetizing and decomposing all matter with a strong magnetic field—this is molecular-level destructive power, enough to completely destroy the genetic chain of a living organism."

"No living being, no matter how strong its body or how high its self-healing ability, can withstand this!"

Director Zhu Ya's meaning was clear: even the extraordinary couldn't be included.

Of course, perhaps those 'great demons' could withstand it, but for everyone present:
It was clear from the slightly changed expressions on the faces of those blond-haired youths and rich kids that they were definitely not going to be able to stop them.

“Moo~~!!”

As the 'Earth Spider' instantly crouched down and stood on its feet, the humanoid 'Bull Demon' roared and plunged its hands into the ground.

The next second, it dug out a giant rock in a bizarre way and then lifted it up.

Brush, X2
Before the bull demon could throw the giant rock, the two aircraft codenamed "Falcon" immediately took off, displaying a much greater agility than ordinary helicopters.

boom! boom! boom!
On the other side, several special police officers leaped from the rooftop of the building, aimed, and fired.

The whistling bullets made the bull demon's eyes, as big as copper bells, shrink. He stopped paying attention to the 'iron bird' in the sky and instead used the giant boulder as a shield in front of him.

Puff puff puff puff,

A series of earth and rocks flew up.

If it weren't for this giant rock blocking the way, even the body of a bull demon wouldn't be able to stop a 20mm armor-piercing bullet.

"Moo~~~~~"

They used the same trick again, pushing the huge pile of earth and rocks forward.

Aside from this 'digging' technique, the bull demon has no other extraordinary abilities, but as long as it gets close to those two-legged beasts, the situation will change—

Whoosh, whoosh,

But how could that be?

Two missiles, each the size of an arm, were launched from the abdomen of the 'Falcon' that arrived shortly afterward, hitting the rolling boulder precisely.

boom! ! boom! !
The violent explosion turned into a fireball, and the resulting gale swept through the test field, which was the size of a football field. This caused the hair of Yu and the others who were witnessing the whole thing to fly wildly, and many of them looked pale.

"Moo?!"

Truck-sized clumps of earth and rocks were blasted into dust, and the bull-like creatures blown away by the blast wave were thrown to the ground, dazed and disoriented.

If it were an ordinary person, or an ordinary ox in his position, it would have been killed long ago by the shockwave that shattered its internal organs; but the ox demon was extraordinary after all, shaking its huge head as it tried to get up.
boom!boom!boom!boom!
Amidst the familiar gunfire, several super-powered special police officers clad in exoskeleton armor rushed over, their weapons firing repeatedly, accurately hitting Niu Gui's limbs.

The bull demon, whose hands and feet had barely healed, fell once again into a pool of his own blood.

"The demon has lost its ability to act,"

"Next target!"

Faced with these perfectly coordinated high-tech creations, ordinary extraordinary beings can only be described as: easily defeated.

Even those extraordinary individuals—

Da da da da da da da,

Amidst the roar of machinery, a robot three meters tall and ten meters long, resembling a spider in shape but with its tail raised high like a scorpion, was rapidly crawling across the street on its four mechanical legs, each several meters long. Its mechanical compound eyes at the front of the robot were flashing with a large number of cold positioning lasers.

On each of its left and right sides, a heavy Vulcan cannon was unleashing its firepower at a frenzied pace. More than 7,000 rounds per minute, with a muzzle velocity of 1030 meters per second and a caliber of 20 mm, were like steel whips tearing through everything, fiercely chasing after a superhuman prisoner.

Although the man was running at full speed, he was still locked onto by the laser phased array, and then a 'whip' of bullets came tearing at him.

Pfft

With a swift swipe, the superhuman prisoner's upper body exploded like a watermelon, and then his still-running lower body slowly fell to the ground.

Murder
No, it was killing a transcendent?!

Just as the 'audience' looked horrified, a superhuman prisoner charged towards the scorpion robot.

Puff puff puff

The bullet chain swept past, only creating ripples on his body.

Upon closer inspection, his body had turned into liquid: although the armor-piercing bullets penetrated without any obstruction, and the bullet holes disappeared instantly as if they had hit the surface of water, they only caused his body to twist and deform like jelly, but they could not stop his progress.

The art of water transformation!

This is a secret technique of the Hozuki clan. Although it is not blood, it has a powerful effect of 'immunity' to physical attacks, making it quite invincible.

Yu, observing the battle, subtly shifted his gaze. The Water Transformation Technique, besides easily evading close-quarters attacks, allowed the user to infiltrate buildings and launch attacks while in a liquefied state, possessing immense flexibility. However, it was vulnerable to Lightning Release attacks.
"Hahaha, my abilities are invincible!"

The extraordinary prisoner charged toward the robot with a maniacal laugh, displaying an invincible demeanor that seemed oblivious to the hail of bullets.

idiot
Just as he approached the scorpion-shaped robot at high speed, the robot's scorpion-like tail curled up, and a flash of light suddenly appeared at the end.

crackling and popping

A surge of high-voltage current emanated from the 'scorpion tail'.

It drew a fan-shaped area in the air, creating a dazzling display of iron trees and silver flowers wherever it went.

???

Before he could even utter the classic "Nani!", this extraordinary prisoner with the power of water transformation was struck by lightning. He immediately began to convulse and twitch wildly, and his skin rapidly dried and carbonized under the watchful eyes of Yu and the others! His body truly 'shrank,' and in just a few seconds, he became a charred, twisted shape.

Da da da,

With a single sweep of the machine gun, the charred body was instantly torn into countless smoking fragments, yet no blood could be seen.

In just a few seconds, the robot's high-voltage electricity had completely evaporated the water in the superhuman prisoner's body through a chemical reaction, turning him into a dried-up corpse.

"This is our first-generation experimental, all-around 'anti-superhuman' robot, developed in collaboration with America."

Under the watchful eyes of the astonished rich kid, the little girl, the middle-aged man, the blond-haired man, and the thoughtful Yu, as well as the expressionless Igarashi siblings, Director Takeya introduced the group:
"A machine costing a staggering $12 billion, codenamed—"

"sentinel!"

As the electronic voice announced the end of the experiment, the rich kid swallowed hard and retreated to the wing of the giant eagle beside him.

"Uncle Zhuya, Director, what brings you here?"

Not only him, but all the other 'spectators', regardless of their expressions, had their chakra boiling over: the hands of the Isoya siblings, hidden in their sleeves, had already pulled out several talismans and scrolls.

"Don't panic,"

Only You spoke calmly throughout the entire room.
"Director Zhuya is just flexing the government's muscles on our behalf."

"If they wanted to deal with us, they shouldn't have revealed these 'secret weapons.' Besides—"

Yu stroked his chin, then turned his interested gaze away from the test field below.

"At this distance, is the director planning to put on a show of unparalleled heroism?"

"Haha~~ I'm just an office worker."

Director Zhuya smiled and waved her hand.

"As Mr. Yu said, at this distance, my life is in your hands."

"As for flexing muscles, that's just too rude. This is just the government showing 'sincerity'."

After speaking sincerely, the director adjusted his glasses.

Not bad.

At least most of the superhumans were shocked!
It's not just about the new weapons the government is developing, but also about the determination to 'ruthlessly eliminate' supernatural beings.
