I planted a sacred tree in Tokyo.

Chapter 247 Want to become extraordinary? Go find it—

"Good good!"

"Such a treasure, send it back immediately so our navy can study it thoroughly."

Modern technology makes it entirely possible to synchronize the battlefield and the rear; upon seeing the 'reward' paid by the naval forces via video, the naval commanders in the rear rose to their feet, overjoyed.

"What else is there to study? Isn't this exactly the capability of our Extraordinary Countermeasures Division, Special Police Officer Kenji?"

"The Extraordinary Countermeasures Department also put in a lot of effort this time, and we hope to receive [rewards/benefits]."

"Wait, our army needs a share too!"

Inside the Prime Minister's official residence in Chiyoda, several groups of people were glaring and shouting, making the Prime Minister unable to help but close his eyes.

These guys haven't even received their pay yet, and they're already arguing over who gets to distribute it!
These "pearls of the sea" are not unfamiliar to island nations.

During the Yokosuka incident, a yacht rented by university students was temporarily "requisitioned" by Kani-hime for transportation.

Afterwards, Kani-hime did not go on a killing spree, but instead gave the college students a 'pearl' like this: after one of them took it, he gained the ability to transform into a fish-man... no, a fish-man from the sea kingdom.

It may be ugly, but what does appearance matter compared to superhuman strength?
Besides, the transformation isn't permanent; you can always turn back.

Once you eat it, you'll be at the 'strong dog' level, and you can breathe freely in the water like a fish.

According to this Crab Princess, if she eats a second one, she will immediately gain extraordinary abilities and truly step into the 'Wolf Level'! This is much better than finding the Hundred Ghosts True Spirits, which is like finding a needle in a haystack, or the risky 'Extraordinary Potions'.

This item is destined for me!
Other cabinet officials were also eager to participate, appearing ready to join the competition.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

Non-professional waters,
"Okay, I'll take it first."

Amidst the cries of "Pearls, my pearls!" from the high-ranking officials in the rear who were focused on the battlefield, the black raven opened its beak and inhaled the extraordinary Sea Kingdom pearls, capable of being mass-produced, and swallowed them whole.

Essentially, it was a byproduct of Orochimaru's research on Samehada in the Land of the Sea.

Although the transformed appearance is a bit ugly, it's extraordinary power:
Do you want it or not?

Yes, I want it!
"Roar------"

The roar that soared into the sky made everyone turn their heads. The clouds in the sky rippled in circles, as if the 'sea serpent' was roaring to the heavens.

"It's calling for help."

In his three-fusion state, Yura is an Ice Release Jonin.

This ocean environment was undoubtedly her home turf: arrows of ice shot out and froze into giant ice crystals hundreds of meters in diameter on the sea serpent's body.

Soon, the massive sea serpent's body was covered in clumps of ice crystals, and its speed was getting slower and slower. It was clear that if it dragged on any longer, it would turn into a 'frozen ribbonfish'. Choosing to call for help was the correct conclusion it had reached, based on its simple, pre-programmed thinking.

Anyway, it's just a stupid 'artificial tailed beast' and doesn't care about saving face.

call out----

Just as Yuluo drew her bow and shot an arrow again, sending out a beam of icy light, a beam of light also flew at high speed from the other side of the sea.

puff,

The two beams of light collided, but no violent burst of ice erupted.

But:

Disappear.

?

Yura, who had just fired the arrow, was stunned for a moment, when Yu's voice reminded her.

"Be careful, it's a false dizziness."

After annihilating Yura's icy attack, the light that rushed into the battlefield flew towards her without stopping.

"Magic Mirror Ice Crystal - Eightfold Rings!"

With a wave of his hand, eight thick layers of ice crystal barriers appeared in front of Yuluo.

Click click click click,

As the light struck the ice crystal barrier, a series of explosions rang out. Each of these extraordinary ice crystals, capable of easily withstanding missiles, shattered like glass, turning into countless ice crystals.

Faced with this beam of light that shot straight towards them, the ice crystals, which should have been indestructible, appeared surprisingly fragile.

Clang!
Raising his hand to block the opponent's sudden attack, everyone then saw clearly:

The attacker turned out to be a giant insect.

Despite being called a 'giant insect,' it was only 'merely' three meters long, appearing petite and delicate compared to the sea serpents that stretched over a thousand meters on the battlefield. Its entire body shone with an indestructible golden-iron color, and a jet-black horn on its head thrust out, only to be blocked by wolf claws encased in ice crystals.

"Divine Beast Wielding Weapon: Ice Crystal Iron Claw!"

After blocking the opponent, she only had time to shout the name of the move; merging 'Greedy Wolf' into her arm, Yura grabbed at the air with her other hand.

A five-meter-long spear, also covered in ice crystals, fell into her hands.

crackling

Amidst the flashes of lightning, the girl's figure flew backward, but not too far.

Instead, with a 'snap,' she stood on the frozen ice in mid-air; the girl stood holding a spear, her Onmyoji robe quickly replaced by samurai armor.

"Divine Beast Wielding Weapon - Flower Sea Thrust!"

With a push of its feet, Yuluo fearlessly charged towards the giant insect.

With a flick of his spear, a massive whirlwind followed, and a chilling current surged through the air!

This tornado could easily engulf a wolf-level creature, shredding it into a cloud of blood and gore! At the same time, the air around the spear instantly condensed and compressed, forming countless visible wind blades, which then solidified into ice blades under the extreme cold, like the blades of a meat grinder, shredding and cutting back and forth within the vacuum of the spear.

Even a tiger-level creature would perish instantly if it fell into it.

but--

Ding! ! !
Faced with Yuluo's spear, the giant worm simply lowered its head, letting the icy spear pierce the carapace on its head.

As for those howling, slashing ice blades, they all shattered the moment they got close to it.

? ?
"Is this the ability of 'False Illusion'?"

Although she was prepared, Yura still couldn't help but feel troubled when she actually witnessed the spell collapse as soon as it got close to the opponent.

Fortunately, she is not a 'traditional' Onmyoji. After fusing with the shikigami, she can be used as a melee superhuman. However, with her melee skills, she is clearly unable to break through the great demon's defense.

However, this opponent was not originally planned for her to deal with; Kafka, who had transformed into a 'great demon' with a pair of jet-black wings behind him, flew over.

"Little Yuluo, leave this to me!"

"it is good,"

As he retreated, ice crystals began to condense and float in the air.

Yuluo's figure disappeared into the ice crystals, then flickered continuously within these mirror-like ice crystals, rapidly moving away from the giant insect's 'false dizziness'. This was one way the magic mirror ice crystals were used.

Ice Crystal Instantaneous Movement Technique!
"Pseudo-dizziness,"

Kafka, on the other hand, was much purer. His entire body radiated a visible 'demonic aura,' and he clenched his fist, which was as big as a casserole dish, into a punching stance.

At the same time, pores swelled up behind his elbows, and visible 'demonic energy' surged out.

"Eat my punch!"

boom! ! ! !

With a single punch, the air shattered layer upon layer before his fist, transforming into concentric white shockwaves that spread outwards, forming a cone-shaped impact that collided fiercely with the giant insect's horn.

call out----

A straight line crashed into the sea like a cannonball, creating a wave hundreds of meters high.

brush,

Next second,
From the crater in the giant wave, a beetle called 'False Dizziness' immediately flew up, startling those closely watching the battlefield.

They were completely unharmed?

What a tough defense!
"Hey, isn't that Ibaraki-doji's 'Great Fist'?"

As Kafka punched 'Pseudo-Dazzle' away, Kani-hime looked up in amazement on the deck of the Shinmu.

"Alright, let this person who uses 'Ibaraki's' power hold off the pseudo-dazzle."

After saying that, Crab Princess jumped off the Shenmu Flying Aircraft Carrier.

"The eldest sister of the fused shikigami,"

"I'm here to help you!"

As the little girl ran on the sea, her body began to grow taller.

Like an invisible convex lens in the air, as Crab Princess took a step forward, her figure rapidly expanded. Until:
boom!
The pink wooden clogs landed, and the sea surface within a radius of several meters suddenly dented; only after the 'little' girl strode away did the rebound cause a towering wave to explode!
boom! boom! boom! boom!
With each step a giant wave of her charge, Crab Princess eventually swelled to over thirty meters in length.

It's already about the same size as the waist of a sea monster that wreaks havoc on the ocean: the deck of a typical aircraft carrier is only 70 meters wide.

Moreover, the design of an aircraft carrier is such that a single deck stretches to its limit in all directions; while Kani-hime, a girl who is "only" a little over thirty meters tall, is wielding a "snail hammer" that is taller than her and as big as a building, sweeping it towards the frozen sea serpent.

"Screw hammer—" Amidst the cute sound, the giant hammer of the building construction swept across with a whooshing sound.

Before the giant hammer even arrived, its irresistible and immense violent power caused the sea below to ripple open layer by layer, revealing a giant, arc-shaped 'ravine'.

boom! ! !
Like Kafka's fist, a giant hammer filled with the beauty of 'numerical' slammed down hard on the 'sea serpent'.

"Spinning around and around~~"

The giant little girl 'Kani-hime' holds a giant hammer in both hands and spins forward continuously.

The moves were ridiculous, but when the real 'powerful brick flying' hit, the sea was stirred up with huge waves! The sea serpent, which was already immobilized by Yura's ice, was beaten so badly that it roared repeatedly and was completely stunned.

Yura, who has merged with the three, is a Demon-level being, as is the enlarged Kani Hime.

One control, one output.

It's normal for a sea serpent, which is also a demon-level creature, to be repeatedly defeated.

However, these great demons were extremely resilient, and a single 'spinning' attack was not enough to take away the sea serpent: as it roared again, another beam of light flew in from the horizon.

"Hmph, it's you guys again."

The person who arrived stood on the white crane, his gray-white eyes coldly sweeping over them.

"Fake Dazzle, go deal with that Onmyoji."

After saying that, the white crane carried him to Kafka and looked down at the 'Ibaraki Jinchuriki' who was flying with dark wings.

"Defeated general, step down."

"Yes, a defeated general has no reason to speak of bravery."

Kafka clenched his fist. The Hyuga Toneri before him, who possessed the 'eye of God,' was a great counter to his straightforward, brute-force-type superhuman.

but--

"It's precisely because we know how strong you are,"

He can't move aside!

Hyuga Toneri is too dangerous; we can't let him go to anyone else's place.

Others don't have Kafka's armor, capable of withstanding the opponent's shameless 'spiritual energy sealing' ability.

A single touch could be the final blow.

boom,

A fierce demonic aura covered the armor.
Kafka, with his long hair flowing like a cape, clenched his fist and struck a pose.

"I will be your opponent!"

"Overestimating oneself,"

A pair of greyish-white eyes fell on Kafka, instantly seeing through him inside and out.

With a light tap of his feet, Hyuga Toneri floated over, his palms glowing with spiritual energy.

"You have no chance against those eyes!"

"Kill!"

"For Suzuka Mountain!"

In the ocean, groups of 'sea creatures' with clearly visible traces of lobsters, carp, and squid surged with the waves, heading towards the sea serpents locked in battle with Crab Princess. The waves served as their weapons and armor.

"ssssssssssssssssssssssssssss~~"

A large number of demons rushed from the sky.

They merged together, transforming into a flying synthetic beast that opened its mouth and spat out fangs, shooting them towards the 'Sea Kingdom' in the sea.

The 'Sea Kingdom' in the sea was not to be outdone, with various water currents surging and water jets shooting into the sky!

At the same time, defensive capabilities such as water walls and water bubbles also appeared.

The number of demons is endless, yet they remain fearless and undaunted.

The people of the sea kingdom united as one and seized the strategic advantage of the terrain.

The sky and the sea clashed, with all sorts of extraordinary abilities constantly shooting out, making the high-ranking officials behind them tremble with fear.

Meanwhile, the 'Shenmu' was not idle either:

Buzzing buzzing buzzing

One after another, 'Falcon' drones flew out of the ship's cabin, like a dense swarm of bees, heading towards the demons in the sky.

Some of these drones were manufactured in Yu's factory; in order to win Yu over, the island nation's government gave him several drone manufacturing plants and purchased these drones in the name of the government: there was no worry about sales at all.

You can just sit there and collect the money.

In this extraordinary era, drones have become a best-selling product.

It can be used for both reconnaissance and combat; because it's cheap, because it's fearless—

With a large number of drones joining the battlefield, along with the "Sea Kingdom" soldiers and crab generals in the ocean, the demons were gradually suppressed and driven out of the battlefield.

Immediately afterwards, a portion of the drones detached and rushed towards the 'false dazzle'.

Modern technology clearly does not belong to the category of 'techniques', and their attacks cannot be absorbed by 'false dizziness'.

Of course, the "Pseudo-Dazzling," crafted from special materials by Yu, imbued with "Steel Release," and inscribed with various defensive ninjutsu, and layered with countless layers of armor, would naturally be unharmed by these machine guns, missiles, and electromagnetic cannons. Even the suicidal ramming attacks from drones were nothing more than futile fireworks.

However, as long as these drones can slightly affect the 'false dazzle,' it will be meaningful to the human side.

The main force is still Yura, who transforms into a female warrior and charges through the ice crystals in the air.

Meanwhile, a group of people from the Sea Kingdom also swarmed towards the Sea Serpent.

The intention is the same as with the drones: to disrupt the sea serpents' movements and create an opportunity for 'Kani-hime', and that would be victory.

"Humph,"

In the midst of the fierce battle, the wind picked up.

Hyuga Toneri looked up at the horizon.

A massive tornado, seemingly reaching the sky, is hurtling towards this place at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"It's that old guy Haiming,"

The belatedly arriving Bloody Hakka glanced at the battlefield, which was a complete mess.

"It's not our advantage at sea, so let's retreat to land first."

Mount Suzuka is known as the "Sea Kingdom," so naval warfare is naturally their home ground: the two sides used to fight fiercely, but now that the other side has received human aid, continuing to fight them at sea would not be a wise move.

Retreat to land and regroup: If they dare to pursue us, we'll teach them a lesson!

As for the sea serpent, it can dive into the deep sea: around the Filipinos, there are many trenches with depths reaching tens of thousands of meters, and most people in the Sea Kingdom cannot dive to such depths.

As 'Sea Roar' arrived, Hyuga Toneri glanced at the panting Kafka.

"Another life spared, human."

"The Nine-Tails' forces have retreated?"

"A wise choice. Lord Haiming has arrived."

The battle has temporarily come to an end. The battle between the two forces is by no means something that can be ended overnight: the great demons are all thick-skinned and have many ways to protect themselves. It is already quite good that they were able to repel the opponent.

"Hey you--"

When the 30-meter-tall Crab Princess strode back.

KYG, the young man who was quietly live-streaming on the 'Shenmu' ship, immediately came forward and knelt on one knee on the deck.

"Lady Kani-hime, your humble servant is here!"

Hey, where's your face?

Is your live stream still going on?

"Yes, Lady Kani."

Amidst the disdain of others, the extraordinary blogger KYG looked up in confusion.

Record it—

Pointing to herself, as KYG raised the live streaming equipment, Kani-hime, whose head was level with the 'flying aircraft carrier', stretched out her huge palm.

In her palm were a cluster of tiny, shimmering dots.

Could it be?
As those high-ranking officials suddenly stood up, Crab Princess spoke:
"These Suzuka Mountain pearls, if consumed, will grant one extraordinary power—"

"Want it?"

"Then come and take them. I'll put them on these Thousand Islands."

After saying that, Crab Princess raised her hand and waved:
As KYG instinctively raised his camera, countless points of light flew toward the Philippine Islands.
