I planted a sacred tree in Tokyo.

Chapter 268 Declaration of Victory
"Ahem, hello everyone."

"This is KYG, currently about 5,000 meters from the battlefield, bringing you... Damn it!!"

The live stream, which had just been restored, suddenly flickered and froze, causing billions of people watching on TVs, computers, and mobile phones to hurl insults in various languages ​​and dialects.

"That almost killed me! Is there still a signal in the live stream?"

Yes, bro!

[What's going on at the scene? Urgent!]

[KYG, how's the match going? Who won and who lost?]

A barrage of urgent comments scrolled by, and as the screen rotated, countless viewers who had been following the battle finally saw the progress of the fight again:

On the battlefield thousands of meters away, a giant with crimson skin, his hair turning into blazing white plasma, his feet stepping on thunderous clouds, his eyes glaring and roaring, with a ring of thunder drums behind him; he wields a colossal single-edged straight sword that sparks with lightning, and as he swings the sword, lightning crackles across the sky.

Compared to his enormous size, his opponent was so small that he could not even be seen.

【This is? 】

What happened to the mountain giants?

It's too far away, I can't see anything clearly.

Let alone other countries, even in island nations, not everyone knows 'Takemikazuchi'. Fortunately, KYG, a popular blogger, has already spoken up to explain.

"This is 'Takemikazuchi',"

"Legend has it that Izanami, the mother of the gods, died during childbirth when she gave birth to Kagutsuchi, the god of fire."

"Izanagi, the father of the gods, was furious and drew his 'Ame no Habakiri' to behead Kagutsuchi—his blood splattered onto the rocks, and from it came Takemikazuchi."

"And the long sword in Takemikazuchi's hand should be the 'Futsu-no-Mitama-no-Tsurugi'."

The word "Budu" is an onomatopoeic word for the sound of a sword cutting off the neck.

In mythology, this divine sword was given by Takemikazuchi to the first emperor of the island nation to eliminate the rebellious 'Kunizu-no-Kami'; it is one of the island nation's divine swords, alongside the Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi. Unfortunately, over the past thousand years, the whereabouts of the three sacred treasures are unknown, not to mention the 'Futsu-no-Mitama-no-Tsurugi'.

"But Lord Yu's 'Super God Imitation Painting' is, after all, just a spell; it's unknown how much of the true 'Thor's' power it can unleash."

As someone who gathers intelligence in the superhuman world, KYG is well aware of the abilities of most superhumans.

That Yu-kun's ability is to mimic and construct living beings using techniques.

Although it was unexpected that a 'god' could be constructed, this 'god' was not actually descended from 'Takamagahara'; whether or not they could defeat that great Onmyoji remained a huge question.

Crackling! !
The longsword, wrapped in wild lightning, slashed through the air, bringing forth dense fan-shaped bolts of lightning, truly a single sword sweeping away thousands of troops.

With a single sword strike, the wind and clouds are severed! Heaven and earth tremble! Demons and evil are vanquished!
"Even the fiercest thunder can never tear apart the ocean."

Faced with the "Takemikazuchi" created by Yu with "Super God Imitation Painting", Abe no Seimei closed his folding fan, put his hands together, and placed the folding fan horizontally between his thumbs.

"A massive burst of water jets!"

boom----

An endless stream of water, like a fountain, gushed outwards from the Great Onmyoji.

With a roaring, surging sound, the enormous amount of water spread to hundreds, hundreds, and even thousands of meters!

A sphere composed of countless amounts of water blocked the path of 'Takemikazuchi'. The straight sword, named 'Futsu-mitama-no-Tsurugi', carrying countless bolts of lightning, slammed into the colossal water sphere.

Phew! !
The long sword slashed into the water sphere, stirring up thousands of waves and layers of turbulent water.

The entire colossal water sphere, over a thousand meters long, twisted and deformed, with ripples of all sizes overlapping and vibrating incessantly, resembling a turbulent and distorted underwater world reflected in raging waves.

Faced with such a massive amount of water spheres, even a lightning blade hundreds of meters long could only cut halfway before it became difficult to continue.

As for lightning?

Water conducts electricity and is naturally able to absorb and disperse lightning.

The lightning bolts on the hundreds-of-meters-long sword were futilely absorbed by the giant water sphere; for a moment, they couldn't even pull out the weapon.

"this is?"

"The move that Blood Hakama used"

Having retreated thousands of meters away and reunited with Director Zhu Ya, the group of extraordinary individuals stared at the colossal water sphere hovering above the city, utterly stunned and numb.

During the "Great Victory of Kushimoto" in which the Nine-Tails' forces were defeated, Blood Hakama used such a move.

If it weren't for Yura's breakthrough on the spot, almost no one could have hurt him.

"I remember back then, the Blood Hakama had the advantage of terrain and a group of 'Skeleton Onmyoji' to help them, and they prepared for quite a while."

Pegasus, who could see it most clearly, murmured to himself.
"This Abe no Seimei can conjure up spells with a wave of his hand, and the range is even larger than that of the Blood Hakama."

This level of strength is just too outrageous!
Dragon level,

Or is it a powerful dragon?

It can't be a god, can it?
"There's no point in saying anything now,"

Director Zhu Ya, who was already preparing to 'leave work,' was actually the calmest and most composed one.

"Let's see if Yu-kun can defeat them, otherwise we will fight to the death for our country today."

As she spoke, Director Zhuya turned to look at everyone and said jokingly:
"You don't need to panic when that time comes."

"You could also seek refuge with them~~"

Hey?
yes--

"Ahem, Director, you're joking."

The group of people were initially delighted, but then their faces turned serious.

"We are all fine men of this island nation, how can we be such servile and subservient people?"

Takagi Miwa spoke with righteous indignation, but others—such as the Isogai siblings next to him—had already begun to seriously consider the possibility of siding with the other side.

After all, for them, their mentors, relatives, and the talents in the village are also important considerations.

As for some island nation's righteousness, what business is it of their nearly 100 million people?
Not only them, but others, though their faces didn't show it, were also having the same thought in their minds.

If we can't win, we'll surrender.

It's not that they didn't try; it's just that the other side was too strong.

That Abe no Seimei truly deserves the title of 'the strongest Onmyoji in history.' He remains spotless even after all this time, wielding lightning, wind, and fire with ease. It's impossible to know how many more tricks he has up his sleeve.

"Lightning counters earth, wind counters lightning, behold my move—"

On the battlefield, a giant water sphere clamped down on the 'Futsu-no-Mitama Sword'; a great Onmyoji with one hand behind his back flew out from above the water sphere, pointing his folding fan downwards.

brush,

In the earth,
Countless black 'tentacles' suddenly burst forth from the ground!

No, those weren't tentacles, but a colossal entity composed of billions of buildings and iron sand from the earth.

As soon as these pitch-black tentacles appeared, they wrapped around 'Takemikazuchi', who was floating in mid-air, completely ignoring the thunderous clouds and plasma spreading beneath his feet.

These dark 'tentacles' pierced into the thunderclouds, and although they were constantly melted by the high temperature, they also directed the lightning into the earth.

At the same time, it went even further, wrapping around 'Takemikazuchi's' ankle.

"Iron Sand Funeral!"

"Hoo! Hoo!! Hoo!!!"

With its lower body bound, the massive 'Takemikazuchi' roared repeatedly.

Releasing the 'Futsu-no-Mitama Sword' which was being held captive by the colossal water sphere, he suddenly swung both hands backward.

Thump, thump!

A giant fist slammed into the 'Thunder Drum' behind him.
In the sky, the dark clouds that Abe no Seimei had used to unleash his 'Ten Thousand Thunderbolts' had not yet dissipated; layers of alluring electric snakes spread and roamed through the gaps in the clouds, gathering from small streams to a great number, like hundreds of rivers flowing into the sea, suddenly converging to form two bright and dazzling waterfall-like rivers of lightning that cascaded down. The lightning twisted into a magnificent yet terrifying apocalyptic divine light, and with two simultaneous deafening roars, it writhed and twisted its violent body like a majestic dragon, crashing down—

Takemikazuchi himself!!
crackling and popping

Lightning flashed and danced across the enormous giant's body, making him appear both godlike and demonic;
No, the "strongest modern Onmyoji" Yu-kun's "Takemikazuchi" created with "super god-level fake painting" is already comparable to a real god!

Moreover, he was a renowned warrior god who fought in the ancient war between the gods of Tianjin and Kunitsu.

According to legend, it was Takemikazuchi, the 'Kami', who, together with Amaterasu's grandson and the first emperor, defeated the Kunitsu gods led by Susanoo's son 'Ōkuninushi', bringing the entire island nation under the rule of an unbroken imperial line.

With his hands clasped together, a thunderous longsword materialized out of thin air, and 'Takemikazuchi' swung the sword forward in a slash!
"Wu Weng Hammer Flash!"

The sword had just been raised

The dark clouds in the sky were suddenly pierced, and the piercings spread outwards in circles.

The thunder sword slashed forward.

Thunder and lightning stretched out towards the distant horizon, splitting the entire sky in two in the blink of an eye.

A blinding white light streaked across the sky and earth. The longsword paused for a moment after its strike, and only then did the earth...
Tear——————

A straight line

A bottomless 'canyon' suddenly appeared on the battlefield!

This 'canyon' extends outwards, passing through Bunkyo Ward, Chiyoda Ward, and Chuo Ward. Countless skyscrapers, bridges, and highways that blocked its path vanished instantly! It was as if their atomic structures were instantly pierced by high-concentration plasma, directly disintegrating into the most basic protons, neutrons, and electrons.
This sword strike was completely silent, without even a trace of smoke or dust.

However, those who witnessed such a stunning sword strike were left only with bewilderment.

who am I?
Where am I?

what am i doing?
Boom boom boom~~~!!!

The roaring sound of the surging sea brought the equally dazed KYG back to his senses. The young man standing on the rooftop turned his stiff neck, and the new equipment in his hand turned as well.

"Ah, it's water from Tokyo Bay, hehehehe."

With his mind blank, KYG's professional instincts kicked in, and he began to give a neurotic 'commentary,' but no one laughed at him.

Because the sword strike that was just delivered actually extended all the way from Bunkyo Ward, through Chiyoda Ward and Chuo Ward, and directly into Tokyo Bay!
Today, the seawater of Tokyo Bay surges back along the sword mark, stirring up towering waves tens or even hundreds of meters high! But compared to the entity that slashed out with that sword, it is nothing more than a ripple in a small stream.

Did that sword strike slash for thousands of meters? Or tens of thousands?

The power of the gods is terrifying!
In the silence of the entire planet, Director Zhuya finally came to her senses and stepped forward.

"Pegasus and Ai Ming, who won?"

Faced with such a terrain-altering, truly divine sword strike, even a great Onmyoji would be...
In the center of the battlefield, in front of the giant 'Takemikazuchi' who swung this sword, the great Onmyoji floating in the sky stood motionless.

This is the great Onmyoji who, from the moment he appeared, was invincible and crushed everything.

A red line spread from her forehead to her chest and abdomen.

Pfft

The next second, the Great Onmyoji split in two from the very center and floated down.

"Yu won!!!"

As Tenma excitedly announced, the giant 'Takemikazuchi' began to slowly dissipate, turning into ink and falling.

Yu Piao, who was standing on His shoulder, flew up and wiped the sweat from her face while panting.

"It's not over yet,"

? !
Snap, snap, snap,

With a light tap of a folding fan against the palm, the great Onmyoji's 'corpse' that had drifted down suddenly transformed into a tattered scarecrow.

"Very good. Even if Doman himself used this move, it wouldn't be any better."

The expression of ecstasy froze.
In the eyes of countless people watching the battlefield, Abe no Seimei's figure reappeared in the sky.

"It can force out the next 'scapegoat',"

"It was truly delightful. I will never forget you for the rest of my life, Yu-kun."

? ? ? ?
Seeing the Great Onmyoji reappear in the sky, completely unharmed, everyone felt cold and despair set in.

How is this played?
The sword strike Yu-kun unleashed with 'Takemikazuchi' just now was truly awe-inspiring, its ten-thousand-meter-long beam of light capable of altering the terrain. Yet, even that wasn't enough to defeat Abe no Seimei.
After despair, many people smiled with relief.

Tired, destroy it!

Since struggling is pointless, let's face death with equanimity.

Let's all hold hands and walk together on Huangqun Road~~
"Daoman's techniques are based on the principles of Yin and Yang."

Instead of rushing to defeat Yu, Abe no Seimei began to declare victory.

"The principle of Yin and Yang is one of facing and turning away; facing the sun is Yang, turning away from the sun is Yin. Existence and non-existence give rise to each other, and difficulty and ease complement each other."

"Originally, it was the supreme path, but unfortunately, Daoman was impatient for quick success and ambitious beyond his station; he imitated the power of gods above and incorporated the spirits of ghosts and monsters below, thus becoming what it is today—"

After commenting on Yuu's 'super god fake painting' and Yura's 'shikigami fusion', Abe no Seimei gently waved his folding fan.

"I have mastered the art of the Five Elements, which is used to transform all things in the world."

"Although I am not as fast as Daoman, I am confident that I am no less than others."

No no no,
You are too modest.

Someone of your stature should be sitting in a high-ranking position in Takamagahara, why bother making things difficult for us 'mere' humans!
Upon hearing his words, the entire island nation was speechless: This man is already inhumanly powerful, yet he's so cautious and humble—is he trying to kill us all?

A mighty, invincible boss should be like a lone wolf seeking defeat, confidently exposing its weaknesses and vulnerabilities; or generously giving the human side time to develop, only to be exhausted to death on the spot by the human side's relentless attacks.
Even before dying, he gets his defenses shattered by the protagonist's barrage of words.
"Hmph, strength is strength."

Yu regrouped, and the chakra flowing from the Divine Tree behind him replenished his depleted body.

This is no mere acting; so many full-power ninjutsu were unleashed in one go. Even a typical Kage would be panting heavily, and someone of a certain chakra standard would be kneeling on one knee after just one ninjutsu.

"Whether you rely on external things or seek it within yourself."

"As long as we can defeat the enemy, that's all that matters!"

"Yu-kun, you should rest."

The Great Onmyoji simply waved his folding fan in response to Yu's stubborn words.

boom!
call out----

An invisible gale suddenly swept in, causing You to instantly transform into a beam of light and fly backwards towards the divine tree.

"As Yu-kun said, power is power, so:"

"Who else?"

During Abe no Seimei's second, calm interrogation, Nozomi Tenma, far away, sighed.

"Abe no Seimei won!"

"I come--"

Without even a moment's hesitation over Yu's departure, the next to rush over were Kafka, his demonic aura surging, and Master Zhixiong in the golden Guanyin phantom.

"Ok?"

Abe smiled wryly as his gaze fell upon the large catfish that roamed the earth, its back adorned with a vermilion torii gate bearing the character "开" (open).

"Earthquake Catfish?"

This mere little demon actually managed to break through his 'Sealed Palm Mountain'.

"Very well, I shall bestow these upon you—"

Utter failure!
