I planted a sacred tree in Tokyo.

Chapter 424 Strategy for 'Demiplane'

Safe outside Beijing,

"They're out! They're all out!"

"Huh? It seems so."

The troops and low-level superhumans guarding the outside were completely bewildered as they watched the unharmed troops emerge from the mist.

How come it doesn't look like there was any fighting?
Whether it was the leaders, such as Yura Kakain, Rikusho Kafka, Master Shio, and Mr. Yagyu; or the Onmyoji group of the Isogai family, the magical monks of Mount Koya, or even the special police officers of the Metropolitan Police Department, there were no obvious casualties.

How can this be? !
It's not that those on the outside want to see a bunch of colleagues missing limbs.

Given the inherent danger of Heian-kyo, such a scene, as if they had just returned from a "trip," should never have occurred.

"The situation has changed,"

As a land general, Kafka theoretically commanded the armies of all island nations.

Given his strength and personality, no one dares to disagree: even if someone were to have thoughts of 'fighting for power and profit,' they wouldn't dare to play the game in this era.

After all, when supernatural disasters sweep in, the leader really has to step up: you can't command those superhuman beings who possess great power just by talking or having a position.

"Yes!"

"Lift the alert! Retreat! Retreat!"

At Kafka's brief command, the army began to retreat: the large number of artillery pieces and armored vehicles that were ready also began to turn around.

"Why~~Why~~Why~~"

A series of muttered words came from within him, drawing Kafka's attention.

The crisis in Heian-kyo has been 'temporarily' resolved, which is a good thing, but he has a big problem:

"Mr. Ibaraki, aren't you going to stay and keep your dear friend 'Shuten' company?"

Although Ibaraki is the source of his 'power', Kafka wouldn't stop him if Ibaraki wanted to leave, provided that Ibaraki stops hurting people.

"With Abe no Seimei's Yin-Yang techniques, restoring you to your original state should not be a problem."

No, no thanks~~

The 'Ibaraki' within him seemed to have been dealt a blow and was completely demoralized; even the mighty 'Aoki' spoke weakly.

"Let me be alone,"

"No, I'll sleep for a few years first. Maybe when I wake up, everything will be back to normal."

After saying that, there was no sound.

this--

Is sleeping for a few years a good thing or a bad thing?
Kafka Lu couldn't help but scratch his head, but he could understand. Anyone who knew that the world they once dominated was nothing more than a 'puddle' in the eyes of those in power, and that it could be destroyed at will once they got serious would feel powerless, especially for the strong.

Shuten-dōji has already laid down, wanting only to be accompanied by fine wine, delicacies, and banquets; even his 'human' form has turned into that of a little girl.

As for Ibaraki, he was also so devastated by Shuten-dōji that he became withdrawn.

"Sorry, I can't stop yet."

Knowing the 'truth of the world' can be despairing, but look around:

His gaze swept over the army soldiers, officers, and colonels.

"What's wrong, General Kafka?"

Facing the officers who turned to look at him, and the female officer in charge, Ya Bai, Kafka shook his head slightly.

"fine."

Let him bear this 'secret'.

Is the world a small puddle?

In the principal's office of the Tokyo Jujutsu Academy, Yu stroked his chin.

"That great Onmyoji's analogy was quite apt."

"Yu-kun,"

Seeing that this "strongest in modern times" and "guardian of the island nation" looked quite interested, Director Zhuya pushed up his non-prescription glasses.

Is it a strong mentality, or...?
What is your opinion on the suggestion made by the great Onmyoji Abe no Seimei?

Abe no Seimei invited Yura, Kafka, Shio, and Yagyu to his home, where he revealed the truth of the world to them and made two suggestions. He also tacitly agreed to Director Takeya's and Tenma's wish to "listen in" through technological devices.

Therefore, Director Zhuya immediately sent a message back to You to report the situation and also to hear his opinion.

"The first proposal is to replace the gods with 'Yamata no Orochi'!"

This proposal is incredibly audacious.

However, upon closer examination, it is not entirely without feasibility.

How can we prevent the gradually accumulating pool from being destroyed again by a 'big fish'?
The answer is to let a 'big fish' that can make other big fish wary occupy the pool first.

Orochi certainly possesses strength: the fact that even a violent maniac like Susanoo had to resort to stratagem to deal with it indicates that it is at least no weaker than Susanoo, and in a fully victorious state, it would likely be able to defeat Susanoo.

If, before any other 'big fish' enter the scene, we could let Yamata no Orochi come to Earth and protect this planet.
It sounds far-fetched, but it's surprisingly true.

Does it really matter to humans who is a god and who is a demon?

What's wrong with worshipping them as gods, as long as they benefit humanity—no, as long as they don't harm humanity?

Faced with these beings whose fighting could move mountains and shatter the heavens and earth, just surviving is a feat in itself; why would one bother being picky?
According to Abe no Seimei, the Yamata no Orochi was actually a relatively 'easy-to-talk-to' being.

He sleeps most of the time.

They don't even eat people!

That's right, Orochi ate 'divine offspring';
The Kushinada family are typical Kunitsu gods.

"It is indeed a very bold suggestion, but that great Onmyoji has underestimated the one from Takamagahara."

Yu simply waved her hand dismissively.

They didn't seem particularly interested in the suggestion.

"Yes,"

Since You spoke up, Director Zhuya naturally wouldn't bring up the topic again.

"The second one, though, is developing 'demigods'. Interesting."

Yu leaned back.
He lightly tapped the desk in front of him with his finger.

"The ancient war of the gods shattered this world."

According to Abe no Seimei, the 'planet' in the past should have been much larger than it is now, and its spiritual power was so abundant that even the gods could walk among humans.

However, the great war between the gods eventually left the planet in its current state: the gods dusted themselves off and returned to Asgard, Mount Olympus, the Cloud Heaven, and Takamagahara to continue their eternal daily routines, leaving behind mortals struggling in devastation.

In the past, such a statement would have been laughable.

However, now one supernatural disaster after another is occurring, and all sorts of amazing abilities are emerging one after another;
Not long ago, the Nine-Tails raised its hand and twisted gravity, shocking the leaders and scientists of all countries on the planet. Now, who would dare to say that this is nonsense?

"Yes,"

"Most importantly, the 'fragments of the world' that Abe no Seimei mentioned."

The 'planetary matter' that was shattered by the divine power did not disappear directly, but instead turned into pieces of 'demiplane'.

Abe no Seimei proposed sending people into these 'world fragments' so that they could hone their skills, collect extraordinary materials, and serve as 'sanctuaries' in critical situations.
Yes, the so-called 'demiplane' is Yuu's Kaleidoscope ability, which he awakened not long ago!
Unlike the Uchiha clan in the Naruto world, Yu is not susceptible to blindness. His chakra quality and mastery of various ninjutsu are unparalleled. Therefore, the space created by his eye technique is naturally enormous.

Such a huge space, if not used, wouldn't it be a waste of his identity as the 'mastermind'?

Large-scale interdimensional breeding...cough cough cough...the training room is now open!

Leveling up by defeating monsters and obtaining materials—doesn't that sound tempting?
Go quickly!

"Yu-kun believes that these 'demiplanes' called 'world fragments' are... us..."

After speaking, Director Zhu Ya inquired.

Should we set foot there?
Actually, the answer to this question is...
All the extraordinary high-ranking individuals who knew this information already had the answer in their hearts.

"Go, why not go?"

"Just think of it as a trip, it's not bad to see what a different world looks like."

Yu answered without hesitation.

This is also the sentiment of all extraordinary individuals.

As the old saying goes, "He who possesses a sharp weapon will naturally harbor murderous intent."

A superhuman is someone who comes with a 'sharp blade' by their own side. How could they possibly turn around and leave without even looking at this situation?

"To be able to find a free-floating 'demiplane,' this great Onmyoji Seimei is indeed quite capable."

In high spirits,
Director Zhu Ya adjusted her non-prescription glasses again, stood up, and respectfully took her leave.

"Fragments of the world?"

"So, we're going to another world?!"

When Sora and Akane returned, before they could even ask why Nao and Ichiyo were there, they heard this explosive news.

"No, no, no, it can't be considered another world, it's just a demiplane."

Yu raised her hand, gesturing for Yura beside her to explain.

"Yes,"

Yura, now back to being a junior high school student, nodded.
According to Abe no Seimei, these "demigod planes" were formed from the shattered "worlds" that existed during the war of the gods.

"Using his 'pool theory' as an example, it's like water splashed during a fierce fight, gathering into small puddles, eventually forming a 'mini-world'."

Although they were skeptical of the great Onmyoji's theory, he was, after all, a powerful figure at the level of a dragon, and they figured he wouldn't joke around with them.

However, in reality, this so-called 'demigod' is just a world setting that someone hastily 'patched'.

"These 'demigods' possess varying degrees of spiritual power,"

"With so many years having passed, who knows what kind of 'little world' will be born."

As the invited guest, Yura recounted the words of the great Onmyoji:
"But since it's a small world containing spiritual energy, there must be many items, cultivation techniques, and tools useful to extraordinary individuals. Even—"

You might encounter 'low-level gods' or 'great demons' hiding among them.

?

"No force would refuse to develop a small world that contains spiritual energy."

Nagisa Ichiyo spoke first. After all, she had been working in the government for so long; coupled with her upbringing, her way of thinking was becoming more and more like that of a mature politician.

"Even if these small worlds have problems, there are plenty of people willing to take the risk—"

Nao also took over the conversation. The two of them had the most contact with 'ordinary people', so they were very clear about how 'involution' ordinary people went in order to obtain extraordinary power in this extraordinary era.

On the contrary, Xiaoying and Qiongmei both stay at the shrine and at home, and have become somewhat 'detached' from the general public.

So, what are your opinions?

The five beautiful girls all raised their hands, and their answers were surprisingly consistent.

"it is good,"

"In that case, I'll go and contact that great Onmyoji to get the coordinates of the 'demiplane'."

Don't forget, Yu also has the 'Flying Thunder God Formation', which also has the ability to travel through space.

Although he could activate a 'demiplane' right now if he wanted to.

Next is——

The era of massive leveling up has begun!
