Chapter 608 Reveals Information about the Demiplane

Tokyo,

Chiyoda Ward,

No. 3-1, 2-chome, Nagata-cho,
Reporters from all over the world have gathered in front of the Prime Minister's official residence because the island nation's government has important information to announce.

"Demiplanes do exist."

"The government is hiding this information in order to protect its citizens and our world."

In front of a barrage of cameras, the island nation's prime minister lowered his head and read from his prepared remarks; he paid no attention to speech etiquette or emotional manipulation, yet his words alone sent shockwaves through the world.

A corner of the veil of the mythological era has been lifted;
And those extraordinary beings that suddenly appeared: from demiplanes!

This information is something that even high-ranking officials in various countries can only vaguely guess at, let alone ordinary people.

Now, under pressure from the public, the island nation's government has chosen to make it public, instantly causing a global uproar.

The planet beneath our feet was shattered during the war of the gods in the mythical era, resulting in the depletion of its spiritual energy and its extinction. Many fragments of the shattered planet transformed into 'demigods', hidden in other dimensions. Now, due to the instigation of certain ambitious individuals, it has returned ahead of schedule.
If this had been said a few years ago, no one would have believed it.

Even after the resurgence of the superhumans, people were still skeptical: no matter how strong the superhumans were, they were still 'understandable' beings. Shattering planets was just too far-fetched, wasn't it?

However, today, the demon god named 'Orochi' taught 'ignorant' humans a lesson: with a casual slash, he directly shaved off a layer of the planet!
If his last rays of light were allowed to fade, there would probably be no humans left in the world.

The island nation had previously been vague about the 'false gods' that appeared during the Pacific War, but now they've finally revealed the answer: they also came from a demiplane.

There are also traditional yokai, as well as Sengoku samurai, who recently fought against the shikigami under Abe no Seimei in Tottori and Hyogo prefectures of Japan, and are also inhabitants of another half-plane.

"It is not difficult to see from these extraordinary disasters that the demiplane generally harbors crises that are enough to destroy the world; therefore, after repeated deliberation, the government chose to invest a huge amount of extraordinary human and material resources to keep the crisis in the demiplane."

"Some ambitious individuals, driven by their own self-interest, have gone to extreme lengths to incite public demonstrations and protests, forcing the government to reveal the 'truth'; it's truly... truly."

The thought of retiring from my position is so troubling that no one is willing to take over my place.

The island nation's prime minister wept bitterly, his words filled with emotion.

Is that really how it is?!

As the live broadcast aired, the island nation was in an uproar. Countless people who had participated in the protests were initially terrified, but then, under the guidance of the "caring police," they suddenly transformed into "righteous people" and began to frantically attack those "behind-the-scenes schemers," and a "great purge" began to unfold.

He doesn't need to lift a finger; the island nation's government will clean everything up for him.

Especially now!
Of course, this is just the life of an 'ordinary person'.

Governments of many countries are excitedly contacting island nations in an attempt to repatriate 'their' super fighters.

Because of KYG's live stream, the whole world knows that a group of 'otherworldly powerhouses' have fallen into this world; and what's even more interesting is that these people are not all from the island nation. They are fighters with black and white skin, unique styles of dress, and who speak English, French, German, and other languages.

Regardless of language, race, or skin color, these fighting champions all have distinct national and regional styles, which delights many countries!
These otherworldly fighters are destined to be with us!

what?
You're saying they're not from our country?
Look, they've printed our national flag right on their underwear!

The King of Fighters demi-plane was created by someone who put the souls of the dead from various countries into it and modified it. Because of laziness, the small demi-plane became a gathering place for 'all nations', and every country in the real world can find its corresponding power there.

Furthermore, these fighters fight for their own 'powers,' so they generally have very distinct national or martial arts affiliations.

This also gave various countries an excuse to cause trouble: the island nation detained my superhuman without cause!

Chiyoda Ward,

Chiyoda No. 1 No. 1,
In the royal palace of the island nation, a group of martial artists are recuperating.

These fighters specialize in hand-to-hand combat, so they are all incredibly resilient. Unless they are killed on the spot, they can regenerate blood through breathing. But with professional medical services available, why not take advantage of it?

Little did they know, the world had already been thrown into chaos because of them.

"Such a thing actually happened?"

Iori Kazuka, whose body was still wrapped in bandages, suddenly stood up.
"I'll kill them!"

"Yihua, are you really going to start a war?"

Director Zhuya, who had just arrived at the Imperial Palace, adjusted his non-prescription glasses. This time, many countries had come together, including America: three American-style fighters from that demiplane had also been drawn into this great battle: a boxer, a football player, and an NBA star.

Especially that old black NBA star, whose elbow strikes are incredibly skillful; once you get close to him, you don't even know how you got hit.

Most importantly, these three guys actually wore Stars and Stripes underwear, putting the island nation's government in a very passive position: other fighters' clothing can be explained as personal preferences, but how do you explain this?

Now that various countries are coming to demand the release of their people, will the island nation release them or not?

“The English are here too,”

"this--"

Iori Ichika, who had been shouting that he would kill them, stopped in his tracks.
Other countries are out of the question, but America is quite powerful, and England has the 'Holy Sword' Durandal, which can stop Ijiang—she, who has just entered the Demon level, can't beat them.

Moreover, the island nation really has no legitimate reason in this matter: restricting the actions of these 'otherworld' fighters is simply unreasonable.

Fine, as long as we can keep the 'Three Divine Artifacts' family alive, let the others go their own way.

Iori Kazuka's expression changed several times before she finally made a decision.

"Negotiations, huh? Fine!"

"If I don't make them bleed profusely, I'm not Iori Kazuka!"

This guy,
Director Zhuya was speechless at the sight of her former subordinate; but it didn't really matter, after all, she had powerful backers—

"What about Tianma Ai Ming?"

"Forehead"

This question surprised Iori Kazuka, who ultimately gave an ambiguous answer.

"He went to attend to personal matters."

?

What private matters could the dignified Amaterasu bloodline, the 'Eye of God,' possibly have?
"You wouldn't be trying to keep the 'Yasakani no Magatama' for yourselves, would you?!"

Director Zhuya suddenly thought of this possibility. Tianma hoped that he wasn't the type to "borrow and not return"; but based on his understanding of Yihua, he was definitely capable of doing it!
If this guy in front of me were to instigate Pegasus to leave the 'Yasakani no Magatama' behind, thus inviting an attack from the 'Sea Kingdom'—

"What are you saying, Director? Do you think I'm that kind of person?" Yi Hua waved her hand, ignoring Director Zhu Ya's disapproving gaze.

"Really,"

“Tianma Ai Ming really has something to do, and the Sea Kingdom has also agreed to lend her the ‘Eight-Foot Jade Ornament’ for a while longer.”

? !
These words,

This was completely unexpected by the director.

The Sea Kingdom is so generous!
And what could Tianma possibly be doing that's so mysterious?
"Your Highness Prince Shimizu, this way please."

Just then, the reception room was opened by two maids dressed in traditional kimonos, and a black-haired girl barged in.

"Sister Yihua, I want to go home."

Upon noticing Director Zhuya in the reception room, the girl paused in surprise and instinctively stopped at the doorway.

She didn't know Director Zhuya, but the director's authority—carrying the extraordinary affairs of the island nation, possessing Tiger-level strength, having personally been to the front lines, and having the power to decide the life and death of millions with a single word—still made the girl subconsciously turn her face away.

These eyes noticed the gray in the girl's eye sockets, and Director Zhuya smiled.

His imposing manner vanished the moment he smiled.

It truly felt like a gentle spring breeze.

"It's Ami, right?"

"Come in and sit down, don't be shy."

Just like the director next door,

"That's right, this will be your home from now on."

Iori Kazuka casually patted the girl beside him, beckoning her over.

"If you want something, just give the word, and someone will bring it to you immediately. If you don't like someone, just say so, and they'll be replaced right away!"

This girl with gray eyes is none other than Shimizu Ami, whom Iori Kazuka brought out from the 'King of Fighters Demiplane': she awakened a fragment of the 'Eye of God,' instantly transforming from an ordinary person into a 'princess' of the island nation, with a huge team serving her. However:
"I'm not used to it."

The girl's quiet insistence made Iori Kazuka raise an eyebrow, instantly turning her into a fierce demon!

"How many times do I have to tell you, this is your home!"

"What was the point of that shabby little apartment? Besides, your current situation means you can never go back to what you were before!"

Now that the 'Eye of God' has awakened, it's a symbol of having Amaterasu's bloodline. But what if we return to the 'slums' of the demi-plane's South Town? If something unexpected happens again, what about the face of the island nation's royal family? What about the face of Amaterasu?
"Yihua, don't scare her."

Director Zhuya smiled and waved.

"Ami, if you don't like it here, do you want to go to school?"

"Hey, Director."

"It scared me to death,"

When Yi Ye returned, she collapsed onto the sofa without any regard for her image. As a superhuman of the 'weak tiger' level, the fact that she didn't wet herself during a trip to a battlefield of ghosts, dragons, or even god-level superhumans was already considered an extraordinary achievement.

"Brother, is this mirror really the 'Yata no Kagami'?"

While Xiaoying was comforting Yiye, Qiongmei repeatedly examined herself in the mirror in her hand. She still couldn't believe that the mirror she usually used as a 'screen display' was actually one of the legendary Three Divine Artifacts.

"Of course, it will be replaced if it's fake."

With a light tap of his finger on the desk, what else could be able to interfere with the arrival of the god-level 'Orochi' in full view of everyone but the supreme 'Three Sacred Treasures'?
"But why are there so many—"

In this office, there are several identical mirrors floating around!

"That's because these mirrors are projections."

These are all things created by Yu using Yin-Yang Release. As for what attributes Yu wants them to have, isn't it just something Yu makes up on the spot?
"Like this,"

With a wave of his hand, the two mirrors faced each other.

The next moment, one new mirror after another flew out from the mirror surface.

This?
"Suddenly, these amazing gadgets seem so cheap,"

Looking at the huge pile of identical 'Yata no Kagami', Sora couldn't help but complain; even Ei and Ichiyo felt their worldviews were shattered.

"The mirror itself is not important; what matters is who gives it power and spirituality."

You waved her hand, and the pile of mirrors began to merge together again.

"There's nothing we can do, Yi Ye is too weak."

"It's unrealistic to expect her to cultivate herself; let's just use her as a 'mirror stand' from now on."

It's also a way to give her something to do. Besides, no matter how close the relationship is, if there's a big gap in their abilities, a rift will eventually develop.

"What a ridiculous nickname."

Qiongmei couldn't find anything to complain about anymore, but her attention was immediately drawn to the image in a mirror.

"Hey?"

This mirror is pointed at the 'sky island' continent that was cut off.

Although the great serpent has disappeared, its power remains: this continent floats tens of thousands of meters in the air without any sign of falling, demonstrating the power of gods and demons while constantly shattering the worldview of physicists.

On the sea beneath this continent, a white line is approaching it.

"Someone went to check so quickly?"

Who is so bold?
