I planted a sacred tree in Tokyo.

Chapter 567 This grudge will be remembered.
Melbourne, Australia.

"Evacuate everyone from the dock area; the aftermath is about to begin."

"As a precaution, people are advised to seek refuge in places such as Victoria Park, Royal Park, Blybank Park, and Eagle Hill Park."

Orders were issued methodically from the city hall, and the remaining residents of the city quickly sprang into action. This was certainly not because of the reckless Odro, but because Unos was in charge of the overall situation. As for Odro...

"Good job,"

Patting Unos on the shoulder, Audero glanced out the window from the city hall's command room.

The sky outside the window was covered with dark clouds and a howling wind was blowing; this was not a natural phenomenon, but rather the result of a battle between two A+ level powerhouses in the Pacific Ocean, causing abnormal weather across half the planet.

For a natural disaster like a typhoon to form, the ocean surface temperature needs to exceed 26 degrees Celsius, and initial disturbance fields and atmospheric thermal structures are required.
Each of these conditions is a natural wonder that is so vast that it is almost impossible for human technology to replicate.

But for the two who were engaged in fierce combat, it was merely the aftermath of the battle.

The Pacific Ocean is constantly warming up, and the sea surface temperature has soared to fifty or sixty degrees Celsius—when the strongest typhoon in history formed, the sea surface temperature was only thirty-five degrees Celsius!

Furthermore, the intense expansion of the 'Virtual Dog Cannon' and 'Radiant Escape' created a battlefield ablaze with light and frequent explosions. The resulting thermal disturbances continuously pushed and shifted the clouds, eventually causing them to gather over the surrounding countries. The accumulated clouds naturally brought about the following:

Boom!

splash ...

Strong winds, torrential rain, lightning—a series of natural disasters struck Melbourne. Unable to take shelter in underground facilities to avoid the flooding, tsunami-induced earthquakes, and other disasters, hundreds of thousands of people were forced to seek refuge in open park areas, where numerous tents were erected.

Hiding in high-rise buildings is truly leaving one's fate to chance: the destructive power of earthquakes caused by tsunamis on buildings is obvious to all.

In particular, these 'disasters' don't last for seconds or minutes, but can last for hours!
"One day, I too will become a powerful being who can control tsunamis and storms!"

Looking at the ordinary people struggling in the wind and rain, Audrey clenched his fist.

Don't misunderstand, he wasn't pitying ordinary people, he just didn't want to be one of those ordinary people who just drifted along with the tide.

"Yes, Brother Audero."

Unos, standing nearby, also looked at the crowd heading towards refuge. He used to be one of them; but now, he was a transcendent being of the 'Sanctuary'.

Without exaggeration, even if the building beneath his feet collapsed on the spot, he could save his life.

As for the current raging winds, torrential rain, thunder, and lightning, they are merely a gentle breeze.

After all, this place is thousands of kilometers away from the battlefield!

extraordinary,

It means being above humanity.

Especially under the leadership of their 'master', as long as they 'digest' the previous extraordinary characteristic, they can continuously advance their extraordinary characteristics by hunting designated extraordinary beings. In this case, Unos's words were not just arrogant and ignorant talk.

"One day, we too will stand at the B-level, or even the A-level. At that time—"

This scene of powerful warriors fighting freely while ordinary people flee for their lives will never be repeated!

Unos doesn't care what others think.

At least he genuinely agreed with 'the Lord,' which is Luigi's ideal.

The strong aid the weak, and the dying protect the living!
"The Lord loves the world."

Amidst the wind and rain, the sound of their prayers could be heard.

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.

However, to achieve the point of being able to control the battlefield...

One must become a Demon-level or Dragon-level expert in the island nation; that is, a B-level or A-level expert in other countries.

Otherwise, ideals without the support of power are merely empty talk for the weak.

Those who possess power,
How many people would care about the ants under their feet?

At least the two people engaged in fierce combat atop 'Sun Island' are not the kind of people who would care about the existence of ordinary people.

"Virtual Dog Cannon - Multi-Shot!"

With her ten fingers forming a shooting gesture, her hair twisted together like a 'tail', forming an arc forward, continuously generating small balls of blue yang-attribute spiritual energy and purplish-black yin-attribute spiritual energy, which she fed to Jiu Kong Yao Ai to condense into the 'Virtual Dog Cannon', which was then continuously fired out.

These Tailed Beast Balls were small, only about the size of a fist, and they shot out in a series of whooshing sounds;

Its power is only at the level of a megaton-yield nuclear weapon, but when it falls to the ground, it can still easily create super craters with a diameter of thousands of meters.

"Humph,"

With an annoyed snort, Duke Yanyang waved his hand, and giant golden beams of light repeatedly sliced ​​through the air, detonating these 'miniature Void Dog Cannons' in mid-air!
Boom—Boom—Boom—Boom

Unfortunately, even if it could be intercepted, the explosive power would still be undiminished.

Giant orbs of light bloomed on 'Sun Island', and the black and red lava continent dented, cracked, and disintegrated in the explosion!
"Hehe~~ Watch me tear down your old house!"

By now, Jiu Kong Yao Ai had realized that this 'Duke of the Blazing Sun' was quite interested in his territory; since she couldn't hit him, she would attack the land beneath her feet: first, she would sink this 'Sun Island' to the bottom of the Pacific Ocean.

"Humanity."

The 'Duke of the Blazing Sun,' dressed as a gentleman with a sheep's head, spoke in a low voice, his face contorted with rage, flames seemingly shooting from his features. This move was indeed disgusting.

This is, after all, the birthplace of their 'Fire Demons,' a place blessed by the Creator;

If someone were to throw you into the sea, wouldn't that be a slap in the face?

Their death is not important, but the majesty of the Creator...
You've successfully angered me—

"Hmph, so what? Come and hit me if you dare!"

Jiu Kong Yao Ai spread her arms and floated in the air, laughing wildly. She looked so arrogant that she was asking for a beating. Her originally cool and powerful aura was turned into something that made people grit their teeth.

"False Dog—"

光、

Just as Jiu Kongyaoai was about to repeat her old tricks, a beam of light suddenly streaked across the battlefield, brushing past her.

Pfft

Blood splattered past my eyes.

What Jiu Kongyaoai saw was not only blood, but also half of her arm.

???

"you"

Suddenly turning around, Jiu Kongyao looked at the ram-headed gentleman who had sped up behind her at the speed of light, holding a golden rapier.

"Just as I thought,"

Slowly turning around, Duke Yanyang held a sword in one hand and had the other hand behind his back.

"You will 'return' to this world the instant you launch your attack."

? !
Seeing Jiu Kong Yao Ai's expression change, Duke Yan Yang revealed a cunning smile.

"It seems I was right."

What was originally just a guess to provoke the other party has now been confirmed.

“Your ability is essentially to hide yourself in another 'space',”

When this unknown ability is activated, the opponent is not even in this space, so naturally no attack can hurt her: she is completely like a reflection in a mirror or a flower in water.

Conversely, if the other party wants to attack anything located in this world, they must come to this world—

"If I can seize this moment, I can hurt you."

He raised his rapier, aiming at the one-armed Jiu Kong Yao Ai. "And I, the blazing sun born from the flames of the Creator, am very confident in my speed."

"Hmph, it was just a lucky 'success'."

Losing a hand would be a devastating blow to others; but for Jiu Kong Yao Ai, it was just a moment of carelessness, and it didn't even count as an injury.

As the flesh and blood writhed at the severed arm, bones, muscles, blood vessels, and nerves rapidly spread out, eventually covering the skin.

Even if you're beaten into a pulp or torn in two, you can instantly recover; the Orochi style is all about survival.

"Whether it was luck or not, you'll know once you try again, won't you?"

Having seen through the other party's methods, Duke Yanyang took the initiative and once again became 'debonair';
However, his eyes were already squinting behind his monocle.

He can move in the form of light, thus achieving true light speed: although because his 'thought' can't keep up, he can only move forward by 'blinking', otherwise he would accidentally burst out of the atmosphere; but if he locks onto this human girl, he can still launch a counterattack the moment she attacks.

Jiu Kong Yao Ai naturally thought of this immediately as well.

For a moment, both were at a loss.

If Jiu Kong Yao Ai doesn't launch an attack, Duke Yan Yang can't hit her.

Duke Yanyang must wait for Jiu Kong Yao Ai to launch an attack in order to seize that moment to counterattack.

"I'll remember you,"

After venting her frustrations, Jiu Kong Yao Ai gradually calmed down.

This Duke of Yanyang is quite capable; we can't defeat him in a short time, but that's alright:
"You better watch where you sleep from now on. I'll come here every day and bombard this place. Let's see how long you can hold out!"

Duke Yanyang was speechless at Jiu Kongyao's remarks about "petty people seeking revenge all day long".

but--

"I've disappointed you, strong human."

"We elemental beings do not need to sleep."

?

"Humph!"

The other party's reply also startled Jiu Kongyao.

The sound and shadow disappeared completely as it spun: Since continuing to fight would only result in futile injuries, it would be better to just leave.

Anyway, getting injured is just a common occurrence for Jiu Kong Yao Ai.

Nine small notebooks, one more person added.

"The battle is over?"

"Yes, that's what it looks like from satellite images."

Such dialogues have been heard in the defense ministries, police departments, and similar command centers of various countries.

"The results of it?"

"Who wins and who loses—"

Faced with their superiors' urgent questioning, the military staff clerks, the superhuman experts, and the superhuman observers were all speechless.

Everyone's here watching, so who am I supposed to ask?

That's a battle at the level of a powerful dragon/A+!

Not to mention them, even KYG, who is known for his 'daring', didn't dare to go over and watch: if they were unlucky and were hit by a light-speed attack, the world's number one 'news king' would instantly become news and dominate all kinds of headlines and trending searches.

"this."

Someone raised their hand in the Metropolitan Police Department of the island nation.

"Given that Miss Jiukong's personality, we should have news soon."

Because among Jiu Kong Yao Ai's subordinates, there is a 'double agent' belonging to the Metropolitan Police Department: that young lady is indiscriminate in her acceptance of people and has been in a 'hands-off' state for a long time, it is not difficult for the Metropolitan Police Department to develop one or two 'double agents'.

Don't forget, the Metropolitan Police Department has a partnership with 'Yomi'!
fear death?

It's alright.

We can arrange work even in the underworld!

Although it still left countless people speechless and looking up at the sky in disbelief at the 'Nine-Tailed Fox'.

Moreover, it is said that recently the Nine-Tails' forces seem to have found clues about the whereabouts of the 'true form', and their strength is steadily increasing, causing countless deceased superhumans to complain bitterly: they fought the Nine-Tails' forces when they were alive, and they still have to fight the Nine-Tails when they are dead. Isn't this a waste of their lives?
what?
If you really don't want to live, you can jump into the Sanzu River?

Oh dear, it's not that I'm afraid of dying again, it's just that the water is too cold.
Death is not the end. The soul goes to the underworld. If it can remain intact and be found by the 'White Child' of the underworld and brought back to 'Fengdu', it is equivalent to being reborn.

Even if they need to continue fighting against the forces of the Yellow Springs and the Nine-Tailed Fox, most of the superhumans still fight while complaining.

If the soul is broken, the true spirit will fall into the Sanzu River: this is the true 'death'.

Unless a ghost-level expert is willing to rescue you, you will forever live in a daze.

Even a demon-level expert can only manage to snatch one.

This is why Jiu Kong Yao Ai didn't go to the River of Three Crossings to rescue her parents: on the one hand, she didn't know who to rescue; on the other hand, given her experiences of being beaten everywhere, it would be even more difficult to take her parents with her: after all, she still had to take revenge on that man!

Sure enough, it didn't take long.

"There's news!"

The Metropolitan Police Department's intelligence officers instinctively sat up straight.
"Kikūya Ai returns to Matsue City, Shimane Prefecture, announcing that she just beat up the Duke of Ensō."

"Um,"

Surrounded by a group of extraordinary section chiefs, Director Zhuya thought for a moment.
"Given Jiu Kong Yao Ai's personality, this record is probably going to be discounted."

If Jiu Kong gains the upper hand, it won't just be a matter of 'beating him up,' but rather he'll come back with a sheep's head to 'proclaim it to the world.'

Similarly, given the ruthless nature of that Grand Duke Yanyang and his ultimate goal of igniting the planet, if his strength surpasses that of Jiukong, he certainly wouldn't let her return and unilaterally declare 'victory'.

"It seems that the two sides are evenly matched, and Jiu Kong Yao Ai has taken the initiative to retreat."

As the 'weightlifting king' of the island nation, Director Takeya immediately guessed the truth to a great extent.

"I see,"

"The director is right,"

"The director has keen insight and can see through anything!"

The others exclaimed in praise, showering him with flattery—and it wasn't just simple flattery: only the director could understand, grasp, and analyze the personalities of all these extraordinary individuals so thoroughly.

Faced with such overwhelming power, others would be terrified or disheartened, let alone be able to analyze things calmly.
"Then, next."

"Next-"

Director Zhuya's gaze fell on the map of the island nation.

"It's probably based on the 'Onmyoji Arena' scenario, right?"

It is believed that both Yu-kun and Abe no Seimei had already made arrangements for this: they were just waiting for Kuku to lead the extraordinary army to attack.

But why would they do that?

What is the purpose?
Unfortunately, unless you understand the underlying logic of 'leveling up',

Even the smartest person cannot understand the intricacies of everything that has happened in this era.
