I planted a sacred tree in Tokyo.

Chapter 602 This place is too narrow.

"This body."

As the perfectly proportioned white-haired man appeared in the sky, the entire battlefield instantly became calm, with blue skies and white clouds overhead.

It was as if the previous death battle was just an illusion for everyone: if it weren't for the fact that everyone was injured, with broken arms and legs, and that there were a bunch of fighters lying on the lifeboats next to them, their fates unknown.

The white-haired man, seemingly dissatisfied with his body, glanced down slightly.

Thump thump thump thump!
A series of kneeling sounds rang out, and by the time the fighters present reacted, they were either kneeling on one knee or lying prostrate on the sea, drenched in sweat, as if their consciousness had just been cut off.

???

Just a look!
Did they submit to you subconsciously just by their aura?
Those who can kneel on one knee under pressure are all 'captain' level fighters; the only two still standing on the field are, naturally:
"The Three Sacred Treasures Family?"

The white-haired man's condescending gaze swept over Kyo Kusanagi and Chizuru Kagura.

"too weak."

After saying that, she stopped paying attention to them and instead focused her gaze on Hongo Hina and Iori Kazuka on the other side.

"Humans from the main world?"

? !
"Exactly,"

Hina Hongo, kneeling on one knee, bowed with a smile on her face.

"A nobody from the main world greets Your Excellency 'Great Serpent'."

"."

As for Iori Kazuka beside Hime, keeping quiet and bowing her head was her last act of defiance.

As the 'Great General' of Pegasus, she couldn't possibly say anything conciliatory;
At this point, daring to utter a single word will only result in death and annihilation.

They were completely ignored!

the other side,
Kyo Kusanagi frowned. He was a true 'prodigy,' and he had already subconsciously clenched his fists, assuming the starting stance of 'Musou' (a martial arts style). However…
Putting aside the fact that this guy, who is most likely 'Orochi', is high in the sky, the fact that his 'Musou' requires charging up is a huge flaw: there is no Iori Yagami to buy him time now.

"It's alright, you can gather your strength as much as you like."

“As a ‘god,’ I will neither hide nor interrupt.”

The white-haired man in the air looked straight ahead, not at anyone; but when he spoke, everyone's eyes automatically focused on Kyo Kusanagi.

"If you can shake one of my fingers, I will admit that humanity still has some reason to exist."

As he spoke, the man, who called himself 'God,' extended one index finger.

? !
So strong?
The numerous fighters kneeling on the sea were initially incredulous; then, their gazes, focused on Kyo Kusanagi, became intense.

This is Kyo Kusanagi! The prodigy of the Kusanagi family, one of the Three Sacred Treasures, and the King of Fighters champion!

If given enough time to build up his strength, it's not impossible.
"it is good!"

Since this 'giant snake' is so arrogant from the moment it appears,
Without wasting words, Kyo Kusanagi lowered his waist, clenched his fist, and brought his right hand to his waist, assuming a posture of gathering power.

As expected, the man in the sky made no move, allowing Kyo Kusanagi to begin gathering his strength in preparation for unleashing his 'Musou'.

The moment this guy appeared, many renowned fighters unconsciously knelt down in submission. Even Kyo Kusanagi himself felt as if the weight of the entire world had fallen upon him. If it weren't for the 'Kusanagi Sword' within him, he would have knelt down on the spot.

Only one chance!
Since the opponent is so arrogant, Kyo Kusanagi will go all out.

Under the watchful eyes of the remaining fighters, after charging up for a full half minute, Kyo Kusanagi stomped his foot.

boom------

The figure soared into the sky, and before he could even throw a punch, the space in front of Kyo Kusanagi was like a sponge that had been violently punctured and deformed, becoming thinner and thinner. As he charged forward, the distance between them shortened dramatically, making his speed unimaginably fast.

At the same time, phantom images suddenly appeared on the fist burning with crimson flames.

As Kyo Kusanagi threw his punch, one after another 'phantom punch' superimposed on his right fist! This fist, whether in terms of its brilliance, texture, aura, power, or even inertia and kinetic energy, was constantly being superimposed in an inconceivable way.

Eight times, ten times, thirteen times!
Compared to the intense, noisy, and dazzling fists that even a blind person could clearly feel when drawing Nagi Kyo;

For a moment, everything else in the world paled in comparison; it appeared exceptionally pale, thin, and powerless, as if all colors had been concentrated in his fist.

The essence of Musou is the superposition of space; on Kyo Kusanagi's fist, thirteen times his own ultimate power was superimposed, this punch:
It can shatter the sky and split the sea!

We won!

Witnessing this soaring "divine skill," almost everyone present had this thought in their minds.

The reason for saying "almost" is, of course, because Hina and Ichika have seen the world and know that this "Great Serpent" is probably not so easy to deal with.

It's a long story, but actually, given Kyo Kusanagi's speed and the space-shrinking properties of his 'Musou' technique, this punch took less than 0.001 seconds to land in front of the white-haired man in mid-air. The next moment:
The sky collapses!

Suddenly, jet-black cracks exploded in front of Kyo Kusanagi's fist, proof of spatial rupture! Just like the traces left by Takashi's 'Black Flash' tearing through space, the black cracks that exploded now were many times thicker and far more numerous than those of Takashi's 'Black Flash'.

Next is:
The sea cracked! Everyone present was a master who had just started at the Tiger level, and they could walk on the sea as if it were flat ground.

However, in a flash, they found themselves hundreds or even thousands of meters backward, as if blasted away by some kind of 'super special move': they all lost their balance and fell to the ground, head over heels. But all of this paled in comparison to the scene they caught out of the corner of their eye, which filled them with even more despair:
A crimson beam of light shot backward.

Kyo Kusanagi, the undisputed 'prodigy' of this world and the 'world's number one' in the eyes of many fighters, fell with a crimson glow, tracing a straight trajectory before crashing into the sea thousands of meters away.

The sea there paused for a moment, then suddenly expanded, as if a giant volcano was rising, rising, rising below!
boom----------

As the hundred-meter-high tsunami crashed down on them like a mountain range, many fighters forgot to even dodge.

this.
What's the point of fighting?!
We're just boxers, you want us to slay gods?

What about the Three Sacred Treasures? Use the Three Sacred Treasures to save him! Oh right, the one who was blasted into the sea was Kyo Kusanagi.

"Oh dear, that's terrifying~~"

Standing on the sea, letting the mountain-like tsunami lift her up and down like a surfer without moving backward even a meter, Hina Hongo looked up at the white-haired man in the sky. He really did defeat the strongest person in the world with just one finger?
As expected, they were still too weak compared to these beings from a thousand years ago.

The strength of a demon-level being is naturally considerable.

However, it is still far inferior to 'God';
As the black cracks created by the collision continued to explode, the sky shattered, the sea surged, light was cut off, and the air, sliced ​​by black lightning, presented a chaotic, mottled, and spatially displaced spectacle.

"disappear,"

The white-haired man in the air raised his hand and wiped it away.
As soon as he finished speaking, the tsunami subsided instantly, the shockwave vanished without a trace, and even the exploding black lightning disappeared as if erased by an eraser!
With a single finger, he could suppress the strongest fighter in King of Fighters; with a flick of his hand, he could quell natural disasters.

?

The fighters, who had been standing there waiting to die, had become so numb that they had lost the ability to think.

Okay, if it's such a powerful being, being killed by it doesn't seem like such an unacceptable thing.

With the mindset of a fighter, they will definitely fight back against a powerful enemy; but if the enemy is so powerful that they cannot even understand the opponent's strength, then they will not only not fight back, but will not even feel angry, and will only feel a little helpless and relieved.

For fighters, life or death is determined by a punch.

The move that defeated Kyo Kusanagi is called 'Yabo Zheng'.

Or, you could use a more straightforward name:
Reflective Shield!
The first experiment with 'Bloodline Limits' resulted in an 'ultimate budget version' that consumed a lot of resources and lacked various Bloodline Limits skills, but various spatial skills were still readily available.

Before this 'giant serpent' clone, an invisible barrier had formed in space.

Any attack will bounce back in front of this barrier!
Kyo Kusanagi's fists are no exception.

The black lightning that tore through the sky just now was essentially proof of the conflict, turmoil, and eventual annihilation between the spatial shield and Kyo Kusanagi's 'Musou'.

"I don't hate humans,"

The white-haired man in the sky, 'the giant snake,' slowly spoke.
"I once allowed humanity to live on this fragment as part of nature, yet humanity has detached itself from nature, expanding, mining, waging war, and destroying."

"Only by exterminating humanity can we save this overburdened world."

???

Ah, so it's the 'Environmental God'.

Many fighters are just martial artists who don't understand grand principles, but they can sense from their opponent's every move that the whole world is against them!

"Actually, I quite enjoy planting trees and growing flowers,"

A fighter raised his hand and cautiously spoke; no one laughed at his cowardice, because everyone present knew very well that they couldn't harm a single hair on the head of that 'giant serpent' in the sky.

"This fragment is too small."

The white-haired man in the sky was just muttering to himself.

The next second, he seemed to have made a decision, and with a flick of his wrist, a small black ball floated out.

？ ！！

Upon seeing the small black ball, the demiplane fighter was only impressed but confused, while Ji Nai and Yi Hua both had extremely serious expressions.

Isn't this the Nine-Tails' Truth-Seeking Ball?

"Having stayed in this tiny fragment for a thousand years, it's time to go and see the main world."

With a gentle wave of his hand, the black sphere suddenly expanded, enveloping the entire battlefield, before shrinking back down.

Everyone, whether they were fighters, members of the Three Sacred Treasures family, or members of Himeka Kazuka, had all disappeared.

Only one jet-black 'marble' flew back into the giant snake's hand.

The next second, he disappeared too.

As a demon god representing 'nature', the serpent would certainly not start a fight here: what it wants to cleanse is humanity, not the world.
