I planted a sacred tree in Tokyo.

Chapter 266 Enemy from the Sky (Mistaken)

"I'm sorry, Director."

Inside the Sky Tower, the Extraordinary Countermeasures Department has taken control of the scene, and all of the Nine Sky Family's bodyguards have been arrested.

But the most crucial point is:

"Jiu Kong Yao Ai has run away."

She was, after all, a 'Tiger-level' powerhouse with various survival skills. She could easily escape by transforming into a snake, crawling into the ventilation duct, and following the sewer.

"Understood. Take your men and take control of the Jiu Kong family as well."

Chief Inspector Takeya, far away at the Metropolitan Police Department, gave the order that, given the abilities demonstrated by Abe no Seimei, the Extraordinary Countermeasures Division was of no help whatsoever.

Perhaps some clues about the life of a great Onmyoji could be found in the Kukū family, but the director did not hold out much hope for it.

Because the enemy is already at our gates!

"Whoohoo~~"

Having exhausted a massive amount of demonic power to no avail, Kafka leaned on his knees, panting heavily.

"Miss Yuluo, are you alright?"

"I'm fine,"

Yuluo, standing next to him, clenched her fair hands, looking troubled.

"I'm sorry, my spiritual power has been sealed, so I can't perform 'Shikigami Fusion'."

Just now, Abe no Seimei patted her shoulder, not only forcibly breaking her fusion state, but also casually placed a seal on Yura: it did not affect her movements, but it prevented her from performing shikigami fusion.

Before they merged, Yura and her shikigami were just a pack of tigers and wolves.

"Perhaps Master has a solution?"

"General Kafka, Miss Yura Hanakain."

"They've all lost?!"

Thanks to a guy who wanted to be the 'King of News' doing live broadcasts, the entire island nation witnessed Abe no Seimei's power firsthand.

They're so strong it's like they're not even in the same dimension!
In a physical sense.

"Spatial ability. It's actually a spatial ability."

It's one thing for older people, but what young person hasn't read a few comics?
Seeing that this great Yin-Yang Master from a thousand years ago had actually used a 'trendy' spatial ability, everyone turned pale.

Those with such abilities are either the final boss or the main character. However, given Abe no Seimei's legendary status, it would not be surprising if he were the final boss.

The BOSS is so ferocious, how can we possibly defeat it?

"It's not just about ability; don't forget what he excels at."

As if to suggest that the crowd wasn't desperate enough, someone added a comment.

or--

Many people began to ponder this.

I might as well just commit suicide!

Island nations already have high suicide rates. Since island nations are doomed, why not commit suicide in advance and maybe even secure a spot in the underworld?
The thought of those irrational evil spirits pouring out from the cracks of the underworld is enough to make one hesitate.

Most people, when they die, just become those irrational things!

Is it truly a life-or-death dilemma?

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.

"Tea White, that's too strong!"

On the rooftop of a building between Bunkyo Ward and Shinju Ward, a group of people stood, including Aki Aioi, a high school girl who had already graduated, who shaded her eyes with her hand and couldn't help but marvel.

"Such an existence, you want me to go up and absorb its spiritual power?"

"It'll definitely burst on the spot!"

Aiyo Aki's ability is called 'Flying Demon': it can absorb other people's spiritual power, demonic power, and even the essence of flesh and blood.

With the island nation's relentless 'cramming' support, countless farms were drained of resources, and Aioi Aki reached the Tiger level; along with her, Sakuma Satoru, who looked like a middle-aged teacher, also reached the Tiger level, making countless insiders jealous and constantly showing off their envy.

Upgrade while sitting down, no, upgrade while sitting with your girlfriend.
Such a wonderful thing exists in the world?!

Even if it's a Tiger-level, what use would it be against the great Onmyoji Abe no Seimei, who could easily handle even Demon-level opponents?
"We have no chance."

Tianma hopes that the veins around her eyes will bulge. In her eyes, what is floating in from afar still considered human?

It's a terrifying collection of spiritual energy!
"Sigh, this world is really something."

Scratching her hair, Iori Kazuka didn't know what to say.

During this time, she racked her brains to help her best friend, Tenma, improve her strength, but she was only at the Tiger level. She didn't know when she would be able to reach the Demon level.

But now, even a demon-level being is no match for that great Onmyoji. What can she do besides scratch her head?
"It seems that only 'that person' has a chance."

Takagi Mikazu, whose hand was a mechanical arm, spoke while his cold gaze swept over Hattori Hanzo on the other side.

"If that person also loses, then we're useless."

When that time comes, let's all go abroad!

As for whether the crisis will spread to the entire planet in the future, we can only take it one day at a time.

And the 'one' they were referring to was:
"Hey,"

With a long sigh,
The giant sacred tree in the distance was already clearly visible, and a white fox, slender and petite compared to the sacred tree, walked alone towards Abe no Seimei.

The white fox has a long, slender face and an elegant, graceful figure. Most importantly, it is fifty meters tall!
Standing before the thousand-meter-tall sacred tree, he certainly appeared petite and delicate.

But compared to the surrounding human-built structures, it seems like a giant walking among the grass!

Sasa sasa~~
As the colossal white fox strode past, cherry blossoms fell wherever its limbs passed, and countless green shoots burst through the streets and buildings, growing and expanding upwards until they transformed into giant vines several meters thick!

These vines stretched out their limbs, sprouted new buds, and spread their leaves.
In the blink of an eye, lush 'forests' grew wherever he went.

And so, the giant white fox landed in one step, and a forest spread out as it walked towards the flying Onmyoji.

"Stop!"

"Another old acquaintance,"

Facing the giant fox that was fifty meters tall and hundreds of meters long, the Great Yin-Yang Master lightly tapped his folding fan, seemingly in a good mood.

"Little White, why are you in the mortal world when you're not by Miketsu's side?"

“My family members are kind-hearted and cannot bear to see the world descend into chaos.”

Without refuting the other party's use of the nickname "Little White," Hakuzosu narrowed his long, narrow eyes.

"Abe no Seimei, you were once the guardian of Heian-kyo, averting countless crises of national annihilation, even blocking the Yamata no Orochi's attempt to escape the underworld. Why are you now—"

People always change.

Abe no Seimei remained silent for a long time, then pointed his folding fan at Hakuzosu.

"Get out of the way, Little White."

"I know very well what your abilities are."

"You should remember my methods very well."

Did these two people interact a thousand years ago?
Through KYG's live stream, everyone stared intently at the battlefield, afraid of missing even the slightest movement or hidden information in a single sentence.

"yes,"

"So what if he's the son of the white fox, the guardian of Heian-kyo, and the strongest Onmyoji?"

The white fox's fur billowed up, and it suddenly swelled up a lot!

"I am a servant of Lady Miketsu—"

"Master Bai Zang!"

Since a fight was inevitable, the giant fox no longer held back, and suddenly braced itself against the ground with its four limbs.

Boom boom boom boom boom boom~~~!!
The earth was boiling like the sea, with waves rising and falling everywhere: this was not just one place, but the entire border area between Bunkyo Ward and Shinju Ward!
Then, vines sprouted from the soil! These vines looked just like normal plant roots, if you ignored their diameter of several meters.

The roots rise from the ground and stretch and spread unrestrainedly towards the sky!
At the same time, it began to sprout, branch out, and grow leaves.

"The Tree World Descends!" With a low shout from Hakuzosu, a 'forest' hundreds of meters tall appeared out of thin air in the center of Tokyo.

The skyscrapers and street buildings of the past have all disappeared.

If it weren't for Hakuzosu's conscious control, this forest wouldn't just cover a few thousand meters, but could extend to tens of thousands of meters! After all—

Now, with the Divine Tree as his backing, he is no less powerful than Takamagahara's 'original form'.

We can win —

"it is good,"

Facing this colossal forest stretching for kilometers, seemingly alive, the Great Onmyoji slapped his folding fan.

"Wood has earth as its foundation and water as its source."

Despite the giant vines rushing towards him from below, Abe no Seimei remained calm and composed.

"Lightning overcomes Earth, and Earth overcomes Water. This forest of trees should be dealt with using the 'Explosion' technique."

Having said that, he waved his folding fan:
"Please observe my technique:"

Around the Great Onmyoji, one after another, purplish-black spheres appeared out of thin air!

Lightning crackled above these spheres, yet their interiors were deep and dark, as somber as the core of the earth, sending chills down the spines of the tiger-wolf level superhumans watching from afar! An extremely dangerous feeling made them leap backward without a second thought.

As a purplish-black sphere fell and collided with the soaring vines, the sphere suddenly expanded to tens of meters in size before exploding.

boom! ! ! ! ! !

Thunder roared through the sky, shaking the heavens and making the earth hum.

The shockwaves from the explosions surged in all directions, spreading far and wide, causing landslides, rockfalls, and earthquakes wherever they passed: such explosions were not a one-off event, but rather a continuous series!

Boom—Boom—Boom—Boom

As one purplish-black sphere after another landed, Bunkyo, Shinjuku, Kita Ward, Shinjuku, and the Chiyoda area were all engulfed in violent tremors.

The building was shaking, the ceiling lights were swaying violently, and things were cascading down the bookshelves with a clatter.

Those who remained in the area immediately rolled into a heap.

"what happened?"

"earthquake!"

Even the Metropolitan Police Department in Kasumigaseki was shaking violently. Although the cabinet officials had drunk the extraordinary potion, they were also panicked by the sudden tremor and squatted on the ground.

"No, it's the aftermath of the battle."

Only Director Zhuya stood rooted to the spot, watching the scenes of explosions unfold on the violently shaking screen.

shocking!

Is this the most powerful Onmyoji from a thousand years ago?
Those purplish-black balls are every bit as powerful as tactical nuclear weapons!

One person can destroy a country. No, even if one person destroys all countries, it will only take a little longer.

Spatial teleportation, lava shield, purple sphere bombardment—just how many more tricks does this damned Onmyoji have up his sleeve?

Even high-ranking cabinet officials, such as Director Takeya, who were far away in Chiyoda, were stunned and speechless just watching the 'live broadcast'; while for the crowd watching on-site, all that remained was a desperate sprint.

In the distance, the explosion caused the earth to tremble like waves, the sky and the earth to shake, and tall buildings to collapse! Thousands of strands of residual lightning and sparks moved densely across the ground. At first glance, they seemed insignificant, but in reality, the power they contained was terrifying! As these sparks flashed, buildings were immediately blown to pieces and disintegrated.

"Run—"

Takagi Miwa, Hattori Hanzo, Iori Kazuka, and others never imagined that one day they would be nothing more than small fry who could only shout "retreat, retreat, retreat."

"We got there first!"

Aioi Akizo, who was perched on Sasama Kyūgo's back, raised his hand to greet the crowd as they passed by.

The two tiger-level beings 'combined', and although they had no other abilities, their tiger-level speed was enough to escape the aftershocks of the explosion.

"Back to the days!"

Pegasus hoped to run at the very back, flying backward while using his 'turn back' to shield everyone from the aftershocks.

For their safety, they had been standing hundreds of meters away from the battle, yet they were still caught up in the aftermath.
How terrifying must the core area be?
"Abe no Seimei, you bastard!!"

The continuous explosions covered a distance of thousands of meters. This was not the limit of 'Abe no Seimei'. If he were to unleash his full potential, he could create a 'Patrick Star' that stretched for ten kilometers.

That's right, the essence of those 'purple-black spheres' is Deidara's Explosion Release.

Five Elements Ninjutsu performed using chakra
They have obvious mutual restraint.

Earth overcomes Water, Water overcomes Fire, Fire overcomes Wind, Wind overcomes Thunder, and Thunder overcomes Earth.
Deidara's self-destruction was prevented by his lightning-style attack; even the Third Raikage, known as the "invincible shield," could be injured by wind-style attacks. —In normal ninja battles, elemental advantage is key to victory.

Not everyone is a prince, and he created a 'no attribute' Rasengan from start to finish without ever considering attribute advantages or disadvantages.

Therefore, theoretically, Wood Release (Earth + Water) is countered by Explosion Release (Lightning + Earth).

Of course, this only refers to normal Wood Release, not the First Hokage's Wood Release.

"Cough cough cough,"

As the smoke and dust cleared, the giant forest was left in ruins! Despite being bombarded at close range, Hakuzosu managed to withstand the barrage using his Wood Release technique, but he still appeared somewhat disheveled.

Most importantly, this 'body' of his is not his true form, and its strength is only at the ghost level.

I should have exercised more often.
The injured Hakuzosu couldn't help but turn back to look in the direction of the sacred tree:

"Is it not ready yet?!"

".alright,"

brush,

The next second, a figure flew down from the trunk of the divine tree.

"Why do I have to go to the battlefield too?"

"Stop complaining, this is to protect your human world!"

Faced with the sigh of the newcomer, Hakuzosu rolled his eyes. Did he really want to fight? Well, there was no other way.

"Ok."

The newcomer wore a white robe with no other decorations except for a circle of magatama patterns; yet he did not appear plain, for his aloof and otherworldly aura was enough to make anyone overlook his attire.

"My name is You,"

Yu, who had 'personally experienced' the battlefield, extended one finger.
"Enough with the pleasantries, Abe no Seimei, what do you think of my technique?"

As Yu finished speaking, a drop of 'ink' fell from her fingertip.

Snapped,

Ink fell onto the ground, and the area below, ravaged by the explosion, suddenly began to writhe.

next moment,
The earth began to rise like mountains.

Ten meters, one hundred meters, three hundred meters, five hundred meters!!!

Rumble,

As the 'mountain range' stretched out its body, it turned out to be a mountain giant made of rocks, soil, and trees!

This giant, though seemingly the slowest in movement, exudes a tremendous attraction, constantly drawing in everything around it: dust, gravel, and rocks, causing its size to grow continuously.

All the humans who witnessed this mountain giant were at a loss for words to describe their feelings.

With such a massive size, it could destroy an entire city simply by lying down and rolling around a few times.
"God."

KYG, who had sped back and was continuing his dedicated livestream, unconsciously murmured something to himself.

"So it is Lord Oyama Tsumi. My apologies."

The great Onmyoji Abe no Seimei first bowed slightly to the rock giant, then his gaze fell on Yu.

"A super-powerful forgery?"

"You are not bad, successor of Daoman."

Ōyamatsumi, the mountain god of the island nation, is the offspring of Izanagi and Izanami!
