I planted a sacred tree in Tokyo.

Chapter 412 Feel the Pain

"This is our home. Get out, humans!"

"This is Kyoto, which has belonged to us humans since ancient times. It is you who should leave!"

In the mist-shrouded Heian-kyo, a giant statue of Fudo Myo-o protects the island nation's many extraordinary individuals.

In the real world, there's no option to 'turn off friendly fire,' so it's difficult to avoid accidental injuries once a fight breaks out. Therefore, the roles are clearly defined: the monks of Mount Koya are responsible for defense, while the Metropolitan Police Department and the Army are responsible for clearing out the miscellaneous enemies.

In the event of a large-scale surprise attack, the Fifty Valley Family's Five Elements Techniques will be used for bombardment;
The shikigami of the Kakeruin family are responsible for blocking the attacking enemies, while the stronger enemies are naturally dealt with by the stronger ones.

Currently engaged in combat are a group of patrolling tengu and the Metropolitan Police Department's "Supernatural Countermeasures Division": both sides are "public servants," fighting while exchanging righteous and righteous words.

"Hmph, a flock of crows dancing wildly!"

The lead tengu sheathed its naginata and suddenly flapped its wings forward.

Immediately, a large number of red-eyed crows flew out from his wings, bursting open like a dark cloud; crow feathers swirled wildly in the wind, covering the sky and the earth like raindrops, each flying feather like a sharp blade, bringing a strong fishy smell and an ominous aura.

"A thousand blades piercing the heart!"

Kawai Mai, who had merged into the Spider Woman, was not to be outdone. With her six long legs flying, she rushed forward. With a swing of her extraordinary sword 'Thousand Blades', it instantly scattered into thousands of fragments that emitted a soft blue-green light, slicing towards her opponent.

Both sides possess wide-range capabilities.
Feathers and fragments shot and collided in the air, fighting fiercely and evenly!
The other Tengu and special police officers quickly moved aside to avoid being caught in the aftermath of the battle between the two 'bosses'.

And in the team:
"Director, it's a call from the Cabinet."

?

What kind of time is this? Can't those guys just be a little less bothered?!

"It's me, Zhu—"

"terribly sorry,"

The other party preemptively interrupted Director Zhuya's anger.

"prime minister?"

Although he was only the 'Prime Minister' for four-year terms, he was still her nominal superior. Director Zhu frowned slightly, but her tone softened.

"What's the matter?"

"That's right, the Commonwealth just sent a request for assistance."

On the other end of the phone, the island nation's prime minister quickly offered an explanation, leaving Director Zhuya stunned.

"That is to say."

"The experimental subjects they created awakened the 'Eye of God' of the Susanoo bloodline, and now they've transformed into 'skeleton giants' and are wreaking havoc in all directions?"

what is this?
Is this a secret experiment to create a father for oneself?
Director Zhu Ya had also heard about the experiments the Commonwealth was conducting in Australia.

Actually, the island nation is also doing this, but the methods are relatively mild, and most of them are genuine volunteers: after all, it involves supernatural power, and there are quite a few people willing to take the gamble.

Unexpectedly, Australia succeeded first: unfortunately, it was too successful, creating a superhuman who was rated B+, meaning a powerful demon-level superhuman.
"Director, we detected a nuclear explosion with a yield of tens of millions of tons in the Tivi Islands in northern Australia a few minutes ago."

The cabinet led by the Prime Minister is not a mere figment of imagination, he added.
"If that was an attack by the Commonwealth, then—"

Maybe it's not some kind of powerful demon.

It's a Dragon-level monster!

That's normal. Since it has transformed into a 'skeleton giant,' it's definitely not an ordinary God's Eye: Busujima doesn't have that ability.

Since it's a further evolution of the Eye of God: refer to the Nine-Tails. No, even if it's not as strong as the Nine-Tails, it's still not an easy opponent.

Speaking of which, how did the Commonwealth come up with something like the 'Eye of God'?
Don't think island nations can't understand it; the Commonwealth can't understand it either!
Every battle Yijiang fought was accompanied by flashes of lightning, and he would start with large-scale electromagnetic interference. Therefore, the Commonwealth did not know that he had a pair of three-tomoe 'God's Eyes' in his eye sockets. If they knew that it involved gods, they would not dare to use nuclear explosions even if they had ten times the courage.

However, it's too late to say anything now. The Commonwealth, belatedly realizing the situation, has no choice but to seek help from island nations, America, and others.

"Reject them!"

Director Zhu Ya replied curtly.
"We are now deep in Heian-kyo, and almost all the powerful figures are here. What can we use to aid the Commonwealth?"

Actually, there is one: Yu, who is based in Tokyo.

But this is the 'guardian angel' of the island nation, why send him to help the Commonwealth?

When did island nations become so 'selfless'?

Moreover, once they break through to the core level, they will need to ask Yu-kun to "divinely descend" upon Heian-kyo, otherwise they will not be able to defeat that "strongest" Onmyoji in history.

"besides,"

Director Zhu Ya added a sentence, as if she had just thought of something.

"Notify Russia and America to be on guard against England resorting to desperate measures!"

Times have changed. After fighting against supernatural disasters for so long, nuclear weapons are now considered 'conventional weapons': forget about nuclear radiation and nuclear contamination, survival comes first. Therefore, there is no longer any 'nuclear deterrence' between major powers, but the 'Dead Hand' system remains.

"If the bloodline of Susanoo were to advance further, it's hard to say what kind of damage it would cause."

That guy is a 'God of Destruction'! Judging by the destruction caused by the great demons and demon kings that have appeared so far, Director Takeya wouldn't be surprised if Susanoo could sink the island nation.

His bloodline is capable of destroying cities and nations without a doubt.

If pushed to the limit—

“We understand,”

The Prime Minister responded through gritted teeth over the phone.

If England can't hold on and other countries don't help—with America embroiled in a civil war and the island nation conquering Heian-kyo—then England, in its despair, might launch nuclear missiles at other countries, triggering the nuclear-armed nations' "Dead Hand" system, sending everyone to the wasteland to collect bottle caps!
If England didn't exist, there would be no need for this world to exist.

Many countries have this bottom line;
As the old saying goes: After I die, who cares if the world is flooded!

"Director, you don't need to worry about things outside. I'm entrusting Heian-kyo to you. Best wishes—"

May your military prowess flourish.

-----

London,

10 Downing Street, Westminster.

"America rejected our request for help, arguing that they are currently embroiled in a civil war and have no capacity to send troops!"

The place was in complete chaos, with high-ranking officials jogging and shouting as they spoke, completely abandoning any semblance of 'gentlemanly' manners.

"What about island nations?"

"Bullshit, even the island nation refused!"

"Most of their superhumans have gone to the S-class superhuman disaster 'Heian-kyo,' and there aren't enough spare personnel."

Several high-ranking officials hurried toward the Prime Minister's office, asking questions rapidly as they went.

"Where is that great mage named 'Yu'?"

"impossible!"

"That's the island nation's trump card; how could they possibly be willing to use it?"

"Dealing, pleading, threatening—any means necessary, it must be done—"

Just as several officials rushed into the Prime Minister's office, they saw the English Prime Minister put down the phone.

"Gentlemen, I have some bad news."

The prime minister, who seemed to have aged decades in an instant, spoke with difficulty, each word deliberate and strained.

"Just now, America, Russia, France..."

As one ominous name after another was uttered, the faces of the high-ranking officials grew increasingly grim. Could it be—

"Yes,"

"While announcing the shutdown of the 'Dead Hand' system, they simultaneously deployed all their air defense interceptor systems around our borders. England."

I've been abandoned!

This behavior clearly indicates a precaution against England resorting to desperate measures and dragging everyone else down with them.

"How dare they?!"

"hateful!!"

These British officials were so angry that they felt dizzy, and the fact that even 'nuclear deterrence' was being guarded against further demonstrated the determination of other countries to stand idly by.

"Are we just going to do nothing?"

A high-ranking official muttered through gritted teeth, but this only elicited expressions of despair from the others.

How to do it?
doing what?
Should we fight a war with the other major powers before that 'demon' arrives?
Don't be ridiculous. With England's current strength, they'll be wiped out in one fell swoop!

Question: How to intercept intercontinental ballistic missiles?
Answer: Shoot it down before it takes flight.

Intercontinental ballistic missiles are almost impossible to intercept because they fly to altitudes of 150 to 400 kilometers before returning to Earth. By the time they reach the ground, they can reach speeds of up to 20 times the speed of sound. Most air defense systems can't even catch their exhaust fumes, let alone intercept them.

The only solution is to shoot it down during its propulsion phase as it enters space.

Once in space, which is the mid-journey phase, interception becomes entirely a matter of luck due to the various penetration measures available.

As for the final stage, when the intercontinental ballistic missile is falling, it will reach speeds of Mach 12 or 20 and release multiple nuclear warheads, leaving only 'ground interception' as an option.

Other countries have no intention of giving Britain a chance to fight to the death. Various air defense systems are surrounding Britain from all sides, making it clear that they will not allow Britain's nuclear missiles to take off!
Among them is America, which is said to be 'fighting a civil war': neither the president nor the Church of Jesus Christ wants to see a nuclear wasteland.

You'll have to take responsibility for the mess you've made.

"Where is that demon?"

"It is moving at high speed toward the Maluku Strait in Indonesia!"

?

correct,

That 'demon' has a few companions!
"Those experimental subjects, cough, those superhumans, have they been captured?"

Upon hearing the Prime Minister's question, the high-ranking officials exchanged bewildered glances, cold sweat dripping down their foreheads.

"prime minister,"

"You have issued an order to annihilate them."

"so."

???

"Prime Minister! Prime Minister?"

"Doctor, go get the doctor quickly!"

In the midst of the chaos, the last thought in the unconscious mind of the British Prime Minister.

God, is this the end for England?

Little did they know that they had only themselves to blame.

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.

Maluku Strait,
brush,

Boom, boom! ! !

A blue figure sped across the sea, its Mach rings, generated at several times the speed of sound, carving a straight groove in the water and stirring up huge waves.

Having shrunk his 'divine clone' to a few meters and enveloped his body while retaining his ability to fly, Yijiang is rushing back.

After venting his anger, he remembered that Xia Yin and the others were still in this sea area.

Even though Fan Qiu and the others are dead, as the leader, I must...?
The sight of several warships speeding away on the horizon ahead sent a chill down Ijiang's spine, who had just managed to rouse himself.

No,

impossible,
Could it be that even Xia Yin and the others—

crackling and popping

Amidst flashes of lightning, Yijiang accelerated once more, speeding across the sea like lightning, only to suddenly stop.

Because in the sea in front of him, there were several pieces of black and red cloth floating.

This was the last evidence of Xia Yin and the others' existence;

A few wolf-class battleships couldn't withstand the fleet's siege.
Moreover, the other side also has wolf-level extraordinary beings.

or,

Is it late again?

"Huh huh huh~~"

"~~Hahahaha!!"

"Aaaaaaaaaa!!!"

He covered his face with his hands and laughed, which finally turned into a roar of grief and anger. The surrounding blue skeletal phantoms suddenly expanded and transformed into a skeletal giant with tattered wings.

"Shoot them to the ends of the earth."

The skeletal giant drew back the auspicious cloud longbow, and a bright red arrow appeared on the bowstring.

collapse,

As the skeletal giant loosened its grip, the arrow shot out!

Like a red lightning bolt, it begins to disperse and spread along the way: each ray of light is an arrow, pointing to a target.

brush,

Silently, the spreading red caught up with the departing fleet, instantly expanding to the sky, decks, cabins, and sea. No matter where they hid or how they struggled, they would be pierced by his arrows, for this was the bow of vengeance, the arrow of curse, the power of the gods!

"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, I missed it again."

Drifting on the sea, facing those few tattered pieces of black cloth with red clouds, Yijiang could only murmur uselessly.

Xia Yin, Fan Qiu, and everyone else.
"Let's go,"

Finally, Yijiang, draped in a tattered black robe with red clouds, turned around; the enormous skeletal giant above did the same, spreading its wings, which consisted only of a skeleton and tattered feathers.

"We will go to take revenge, to make those who take peace for granted—"

Feeling pain.

brush,

Next second,
The giant soared into the sky and headed straight south towards Australia.

This time, the boy inside the giant skeletal giant's chest showed neither joy nor sorrow.

When anger and despair reached their peak, he was left with only one thought:
kill!
