I planted a sacred tree in Tokyo.

Chapter 466 One Hundred Uses of Believers
"what?!"

In the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, Chief Inspector Takeya, who was engrossed in handling affairs, suddenly stood up.

"Yes, besides Jiu Kong Yao Ai and Yi Jiang, there was also 'Marshall Teach' who should have been dead at the scene."

The secretary reported at lightning speed that although the members of the Extraordinary Countermeasures Section had withdrawn, it was impossible for them to run back to Tokyo all at once; instead, they were observing the battle from afar and reporting the situation at any time.

So the Metropolitan Police Department quickly received intelligence from the battlefield that the "most evil man," "traitor to humanity," and "world's most wanted criminal," who had been presumed dead, was now being summoned by Jiu Kong Yao Ai to fight for her!

"An illusion. No, it can't be an illusion."

He snatched the tablet from the secretary, glanced at the blurry battle scene on the screen, and made his judgment.

After all, Director Zhuya often goes to the front lines, and there's 'Exploding Blade' next to her desk. She's also a Tiger-level superhuman, so she has that much insight.

"So that means he was resurrected by Jiu Kong Yao Ai?"

The events that occurred in the demiplane have been urgently compiled and sent to his desk.

The 'Congyun Fang' could only resurrect mindless undead, but in Jiukong Yao'ai's hands, it could transform the resurrected beings into an 'undying army' identical to their former selves. Considering the 'Santu Town' incident, it's not impossible that Jiukong Yao'ai possessed the resurrection technique.

"Damn it!"

if it is like this--

The entire world, the Sea Kingdom, and the Nine-Tailed Fox's forces have all been played by this young lady?!
Unexpectedly, this 'disgrace of the demon level' who gets beaten up every day has secretly plotted to develop such a demon level expert: Fortunately, Takashi is currently a guest in Heian-kyo. If he were to die, then there would be two demon level experts who are not afraid of death.

After a moment's thought, Director Zhu Ya understood.

If Yi Jiang hadn't suddenly intervened and seized the item, everyone might have been lulled into a false sense of security by Jiu Kong's seemingly defeated demeanor. By the time she secretly resurrected numerous powerful figures, it would have been too late.

It seems that Jiu Kong Yao Ai is also unwilling to become a 'pawn'.

Even 'sacrificial offerings' should not be underestimated.

Director Takeya, who knew about Abe no Seimei's 'plan', frowned as he pondered a thousand thoughts.

The question now is: Will the island nation's newly ascended deity, 'Tsutate Mayuzumi', suffer a loss at the hands of these extraordinary powerhouses?

"Two weak demon-level beings, and one weak dragon-level being."

On the glasses of Mai, who was questioning him with a sword, were displayed the 'combat strength assessment' of Jiu Kong, Titch, and Yi Jiang, followed by quantitative data such as speed, strength, and physique.

After 'merging' with Fuji Seiko, Kawai Mai, who continuously drew upon the power of faith to enhance her power, also reached the level of a demon.

It's not that they're without a fighting chance; after all, the strongest is Ie:

"I don't want to fight you,"

"Can I leave?"

The spiky-haired boy carrying the Scale Fang Sword calmly inquired. He was only there to seize the 'Fragment of the Ama-no-Murakumo Sword', and he would avoid fighting if possible, since these people had no grudge against him.

The mere thought of reuniting with "everyone," even if it was just a faint hope, helped Ie regain some of her senses.

"No, leave my sword behind!!"

Jiu Kong Yao Ai was the first to object, as this was a brand new sword she had just acquired.

"Sister Ma Yi, you're a police officer; wouldn't you do anything about this kind of robbery that's happening right in front of you?"

"what?"

"this--"

Kawai Mai was speechless. Although: Little Yao Ai, you yourself are still the world's most wanted criminal. No, wait, the one next to you, Marshall Teach, shrouded in layers of fog, is the real world's most wanted criminal!
You two are wanted criminals with a combined net worth of hundreds of billions of dollars, and you're asking me, a police officer or a deity, for help? Don't you think something's wrong?

Although it's unclear why Teach was resurrected, it's not hard to understand why even the Holy Son could be resurrected.

That sword should contain fragments of the 'Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi'.

"Yijiang, leave your sword behind!"

"Keep Yao Ai and Teach here!"

This is an island nation, and Kawai Mai was just the first to arrive. The other demon-level powerhouses had already set off: as long as she could hold them off, reinforcements would arrive soon.

"impossible,"

While resolutely refusing,
The windmill-shaped 'eye of God' was reflected in Kawai Mai's pupils.

but--

"it's useless!"

Kawai Mai is equipped with glasses that are actually 'Fuji Seiko' in disguise.

The two were incredibly close; if an ordinary illusion affected one of them, the other would immediately intervene.

?

Since this situation actually exists, then:
"Immerse yourself in the tranquility of the 'Night Eater Plain'."

Without wasting words or showing any interest in testing, Yijiang went straight to unleashing his 'ultimate move'!
? !
In a flash,

Kawai Mai's vision went black.
When I came to my senses, I was already tied to a cross; the sky and the ground were pitch black, and the world seemed to be composed of black and white lines.

The human-shaped Fuji Seiko was also tied to another cross.

"I control the time here, for example:"

Pfft

Two small knives pierced the bodies of Kawa and Mai, and Fuji Seiko, who were on the cross.

Around them were countless 'Ijiang', each holding a small knife, their faces expressionless as they thrust forward.

Pfft, pfft, pfft, pfft.
"Now, one second has passed."

Around Kawai Mai, who was covered in thorns, a group of 'Ie' slowly spoke.

"Twenty-four hours left."

Even someone with a will as strong as steel would faint on the spot if they survived being subjected to tens of thousands of 'thousand cuts': the first time it was used, Princess Charlotte of England was instantly killed. Only thanks to the power of the 'Holy Sword' was she able to revive with full health on the spot.

He also slept for a week after the war before recovering.

"Ah~~!"

"It does hurt, but it's not that bad."

"Mai, we still have battles to fight, we can't afford to expend too much energy here."

On the other side, Fuji Seiko, who had also been subjected to a 'thousand cuts', spoke calmly. Although the scene before her was terrifying, there was a way to deal with it.

"You mean?"

"Use that move—"

The next second, crosses appeared out of thin air in this space.

On the cross hung people from the island nation: civil servants, police officers, the elderly, and young people.
???

"I am God!"

Amidst countless moments of 'Ie's' stunned silence, Kawa and Mayi raised their heads.

"Since it's an attack targeting the soul, then:"

He can then transfer to the believer! "Ijiang."

Pfft

The knife pierced Kawai Mai's chest, as well as the bodies of others.

"it is good!"

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.

"Ie!!!"

In the eyes of Jiu Kong Yao Ai and Titch, in the blink of an eye, golden light shot up from Kawai Mai's body, her face contorted with ferocity and murderous intent, truly resembling the 'God of Calamity'.

Tens of thousands of believers fell into a coma instantly because they helped Him share the burden of His suffering.

This immediately angered even the good-tempered Mai Kawai; both Mai Kawai and Seiko Fuji were originally police officers.

But now they have no choice but to use the 'public' as a shield, which is simply:
The greatest humiliation.

However, in order to win, they had no choice but to do so.

"Die—!!"

As golden light soared into the sky, the enraged Kawai Mai, or rather 'Tokite Mai-no-Mikoto', transformed into a spider-like form from the lower body. The long sword in her hand, gleaming with a cold golden light, slashed towards Ie, whose eye was shedding tears of blood.

The Three Sacred Treasures originated from Japan, and since the other party also injured someone, there's nothing to discuss!

Facing the murderous aura emanating from Kawai Mai, Ie dared not be careless. 'Godly incarnations' appeared around her, and she swung her sword at her opponent.

brush--

The enormous blue longsword, however, slashed through empty air;
In vain, countless trees in the Aokigahara forest were torn apart like weeds out of thin air!

Kawai Mai wasn't like Ie, who was an extraordinary person who "forced growth"; she had trained step by step. In her eyes, the opponent's sweeping longsword was full of flaws, and she easily dodged it with a light leap in mid-air.

?

With her longsword swinging into the air, Ie immediately manipulated her 'divine avatar' to swing another sword in an attempt to intercept Kawai Mai, who had rushed in front of her.

With a flick of her six long legs, Kawai Mai abruptly changed direction, dodging the fifty-meter-long sword once again.

? ?
Faced with a fast and experienced opponent, Ie's weaknesses as a "Dragon-level" opponent were instantly exposed.

It's like a kid with a submachine gun; he can bully an ordinary person with a knife, but if he encounters a well-trained soldier with a pistol, he'll be in a tough fight on the spot.

Fortunately, he still had a bulletproof vest.

Ding!
Kawai Mai's 'Thousand Blades' pierced the blue skeletal giant, but was blocked by it.

Even the long sword broke and shattered on the spot due to the excessive force.

wrong!

As Yijiang's pupils darted around, he noticed something:

The fragments of the longsword in the opponent's hand actually passed through the 'divine avatar' and began to advance continuously within the blue skeletal giant.

"I am also a god—"

"Since they are enemies of the island nation, then they shall be executed without mercy!"

Forced by Ie to use her 'believers' as a shield, Kawa and Mai's anger was completely ignited.

On the glasses that Fuji Seiko had transformed into, she continuously analyzed the weaknesses of the opponent's 'divine incarnation,' figuring out where to pierce them; then she manipulated the fragments sent into them—

"Break!"

As the 'divine incarnation' Kawai Mai swung her sword, the fragments that had penetrated deep within were also controlled and suddenly slashed away.

Pfft

A bloody welt appeared on Yijiang's arm.

"good chance!"

Although we don't know why 'Sister Ma Yi' suddenly became furious and went all out to attack, when is a better time to act?

"Teach, let's go!"

"Alright, Miss!"

Enveloped in the fog, Teach only needed to aim at the general location, and then:
"The art of skillful mist manipulation!"

"The Art of Fusion!"

The high-temperature white mist, the surging and roaring black mud, and the power of two bloodline limits surged and crushed through: whether it was trees, soil, rocks, or anything else; all of them were swept away in the face of these two powerfully corrosive forces.

All that remained on the earth was surging black mud, and only white mist spread across the sky.

In the blink of an eye, the black mud and white mist rushed toward the clumsy skeletal giant who was wielding twin swords as if trying to shoo away bees.

Sizzle sizzle sizzle~~~!
? !
Wherever the black mud and white mist went, even the 'divine incarnation' of Yijiang emitted wisps of blue smoke, and was continuously corroded!

Sure enough, the mist and black mud were very effective at suppressing his 'divine incarnation'.

The power of the Nine-Tailed Demon.
The blue giant retreated with a roar through the forest. Although it looked disheveled, it was only disheveled: its powerful mobility prevented Ijiang from being defeated so easily.

"Damn, it's so hard!"

Kawai Mai is, after all, a 'newly ascended' god, and her fighting style is still the same as before.

Dealing with this enormous blue skeletal giant felt like an ant trying to eat an elephant.

But He wasn't in a hurry; as long as He dragged it out, the other powerful beings would arrive.

Taking advantage of Ie's lack of experience fighting against skilled opponents—

Take him down!
"Tsk, this is probably the most pathetic 'Susanoo' ever, isn't it?"

At the summit of Mount Fuji, Daodaosai, pipe in hand, leisurely watches the play while offering his commentary.

Logically speaking, Yi Jiang, who awakened the Kaleidoscope, should at least be considered a 'Dragon-level'. However, for someone like him, who came from a laboratory and whose Dragon-level status was forcibly elevated, was beaten back repeatedly by three... well, two Demon-level opponents. It was simply shameful: Jiu Kong Yao Ai, who was just there to create atmosphere, was just an extra.

Teach's 'Boiling Release' and 'Melting Release' are very effective against large-sized Susanoo.

Piloting a 'Gundam' isn't all advantages; the larger the size, the more damage it takes. Normally, it's unbeatable against attacks that can't penetrate its defenses.

However, once the attack breaks through the defense, the large size will take the full amount of damage.

Kawai Mai and Kato Seiko, the "God Duo," have no means to counter Susanoo, but they are experienced in combat and rely on their high aerial mobility to overpower Susanoo: Don't be fooled by the seemingly weak damage; if you keep at it, it shouldn't be underestimated.

As for illusions:

"Using believers to circumvent Tsukuyomi is quite a talent."

The sudden coma of tens of thousands of people in the island nation is nothing to worry about: normally, even tens of millions of ordinary people wouldn't affect the battles of the strong.

"interesting,"

Watching a play from the mountaintop

Daodaozhai took another puff of his pipe.

Let me see what other tricks you guys have up your sleeve.
