I planted a sacred tree in Tokyo.

Chapter 636 The Burning Legion's War on Information
Tokyo,

New Bunkyo District,

"Wow, they've even hung up the Gifu lantern!"

As Mai Shiranui walked down the street, she looked at the shopkeepers on both sides who were busy decorating their storefronts and exclaimed in surprise in a low voice.

People on both sides of the street were not only hanging lanterns, but also bringing out decorations such as door pins and armored dolls to place at their doorways—as if it were some major celebration; however, in reality, it was just because of the birth of a child.

"That 'principal' has quite the grand entourage."

“It’s not just here,”

Hina Hongo, with her hands behind her back, tilted her head and smiled.
“The whole of Tokyo, no, the whole island nation, is holding a celebration.”

To celebrate the birth of that 'Yu-kun's' child: In this extraordinary and chaotic era, no one dared to cause trouble for the past three months—even the 'Burning Legion,' which threatened to ignite the world, fell silent.

Therefore, not only island nations, but many countries are spontaneously organizing celebrations to commemorate this rare time of peace.

And the visibly declining maritime trade has once again burst forth with astonishing vitality, taking advantage of this time to begin traversing the world; because even those 'sea kings' no longer attack passing ships, such opportunities are rare.

No, it should be said that this was the last gasp of the shipping industry.

With a large number of ground-effect transport ships being launched, ordinary giant ships are on the verge of being phased out.

"It seems that your world is quite difficult too."

Mai Shiranui couldn't help but complain that although their world had the "Eight Heroes," they only reincarnated once every hundred years; and with the Three Sacred Treasures families protecting them, they generally wouldn't encounter any accidents.

But in this world, let alone Goenitz who overpowered all fighters, even the resurrected Orochi was overturned.

It's absolutely terrifying!
So, seeing the entire street decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, Mai Shiranui felt both relieved and puzzled.

"Is that school principal very strong?"

Hime thought about Mai Shiranui's question seriously.

"The issue isn't whether Yu-kun is strong or not, but rather—"

It's still not a human problem.

Thinking about it carefully, this person displayed extraordinary power at the beginning of the Extraordinary Return and always seemed to be in complete control. Perhaps the truth is that the reason why spiritual power started to revive in Tokyo was due to His influence.

However, Ji Nai naturally wouldn't voice these speculations.

Since Yu-kun himself didn't say it, she would just treat him as Xiao-qiong's 'brother'.

"Ok?"

Just then, Kasumi Todo, who had been silent and reserved, suddenly noticed something.

"That girl—"

Upon hearing her voice, both Hina Hongo and Mai Shiranui looked over.

She was a girl in a high school uniform, but that's not the point: in this area, which is jokingly called 'Academy City', there's no shortage of high school girls.

What truly caught the eye was her attire: a gourd and a scimitar hanging from her waist, iron claws on her hands, and a long spear and greatsword slung across her back—she was a veritable mobile arsenal. This appearance was truly unique, and another reason why she caught Kasumi Todo's attention was:

"Snow Bone, is today a festival here?"

"No, it's the principal's child who was born."

"Oh? Such a grand affair, huh? Well, your principal is terrifyingly powerful—"

The sound of conversation rose behind the girl, and one by one, warriors, monks, doctors, beauties, and spirits dressed in Warring States period attire floated behind her, swaggering through the city.

Besides these spirits, there was also a burly man made entirely of machinery, following closely behind the girl like a bodyguard.

Passersby were already used to this unusual combination;
Occasionally, a high school girl wearing the same school uniform as the girl would stop and bow her head in greeting.
"Hello, Senior Yukino,"

"Ah."

The girl who nodded in response was none other than Yukino Satsuki, one of the "Eight-Person Team".

"She's a student here. In another demiplane, she made a group of mercenary friends—those are the ones behind her."

Hina Hongo introduces her two companions from the "King of Fighters world," while the "six-person team" behind Yukino starts arguing amongst themselves. The reason, naturally, is:

"Sigh, so many beauties, but we can only look."

Wugu choked back tears, feeling as if his entire being—no, his entire spirit—had turned ashen.

What's the point of life if you can't live like a deer?
"That's enough! Is women all you can think about?!"

"if not?"

In response to Wugu's rebuttal, Shegu clicked his tongue.

“Several people,”

With a glance, Hongo Hime took the initiative to step forward and greet the other person.

?

"Chairman Hongo?"

Yukino Satsuki stopped and looked at the president of the Kengan Association with a puzzled expression: although she was also dressed as a high school girl, no one dared to underestimate her.

How many people can emerge unscathed from the battlefield of 'Orochi'?

"I'm no longer the president, so—"

Hongo Hime pointed to the 'Seven' in spirit form behind Yukino Satsuki.

Are their bodies still there?

"exist"

Yukino Satsuki buried the bodies of her companions in the Sengoku era.

"If there are still corpses, perhaps I can help you resurrect them."

Bored, Hongo Hina spoke up.
! !
"Really?!" ×6
In an instant, six spirits pounced, almost reaching Hongo Hime's face.

They might say it casually, but not being able to feel the effects of physical labor is no fun; besides, they're all mercenaries, if they can't fight—what kind of mercenaries are they?
The reason there are only six voices is because 'Cyborg' was originally a cyborg, and now he has a new body to continue his activities; as for the others, they are simply not used to that kind of 'puppet body'.

"Cloning technology isn't difficult," Ji Nai said with a smile, tilting her head.

"However, my new body is very weak and I need to start training again."

It seems quite interesting to study the process by which a soul becomes stronger after regaining a physical body.

Bored by Yu's ban, Hongo Hime decided to find something to do: the Tokugawa family had a backup of cloning technology, and with technology and supernatural abilities, perhaps resurrection could really be achieved.
Well, it was just a sudden thought anyway, so there's no harm in giving it a try.

"This kind of technology exists?"

"Thank you, President!"

Yukino Satsuki also smiled with delight. If her companions could be 'revived,' that would be wonderful.

"I'll cover the cost!"

The girl patted her chest. The Yukino family had always been quite wealthy; ever since she reached the Tiger level, her wealth had continued to grow: while Demon-level experts were rare, Tiger-level experts were by no means commonplace.

"Okay, I'll introduce you to them—"

Ok?
Just then, the two beautiful girls stopped talking.

Not only them, but even Mai Shiranui and Kasumi Todo noticed that many students who were walking and scrolling on their phones stopped in their tracks.

Judging from their surprised expressions, what breaking news has broken this time?
That shouldn't be the case.
At that time, who would dare to disobey the principal?
Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. 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.

"People of America, you have all been deceived!"

A bizarre live stream suddenly appeared on many people's phones and computers in the "Supernatural Disaster" app.

The reason it is described as 'bizarre' is because what is being broadcast live is an extraordinary disaster: a commander of the 'Burning Legion', as can be seen from his crimson skin.

"Listen to me, your commander has abandoned you!"

The Burning Legion commander cried out,

"I have evidence!"

Immediately afterwards, half of the live stream screen showed a shaking image:

First, there were rows of scrolls, then a rocket launch scene, followed by a scene of pitch-black space: a group of superhumans wearing spacesuits, yet 'walking swiftly' on the massive outer shell of a spaceship, busily 'screwing' and assembling this behemoth.

"Do you see that, people of America!"

On the other half of the screen, a man with ruddy skin is shown looking heartbroken.

“Those in power and the wealthy have already secretly used ‘space folding technology’ to send large amounts of supplies into outer space.”

“You can take these pictures and analyze them, compare them—they are not AI technology, nor are they animation CG, but facts! If you have the means, you can even observe the spaceships that the powerful and wealthy used to escape at 138.5 degrees east longitude, 35.4 degrees north latitude, and an altitude of 400 kilometers in near-Earth orbit!”

? ? ? ?
This live broadcast was like a bombshell.

It landed among people in various countries who were enjoying 'peace'.

Those damned American elites are actually planning to flee?!

Moreover, it's unclear what technology these 'Burning Legion' used, but they were unable to 'shut down the internet' for a while; as a result, this news quickly spread wildly online.

Never agree to it!

If we're going to die, we'll all die together.

Why are you allowed to escape in a spaceship? That's not fair!
As the live broadcast aired, while other countries were merely surprised, America was blown away.

While everyone else is fighting to the death against the Burning Legion on the front lines, you nobles are thinking of running away? Grab your weapons—no, that island nation's principal has stipulated a 100-day ban on weapons. Although I don't know if their ordinary people's 'armed march' counts, for the sake of our lives, we'll just have to tolerate it for now.

Let's just have a normal march then; surely that won't trigger any 'punishment'?

However, before these Americans could put their ideas into action...
There's something even more explosive in the live stream!

"My fellow Americans, I am Stephen, a cosmologist."

A famous American scientist, who should have been confined to a wheelchair, appeared on the live broadcast.

"As you can see, I'm healthy now, healthy enough to knock ten lads off their feet on the football field; healthy enough to climb Denali in one go—even though that mountain is 10,000 meters in the air!"

The renowned scientist was gesturing excitedly, because it was because of people like him that the Burning Legion was able to hijack the network and forcibly broadcast the live stream.

Of course, it was also because some 'internet god' was watching the show, otherwise the signal would have been cut off long ago.

“This is extraordinary power!”

"The lords of the Burning Legion have granted me this power."

After saying that, the scientist waved his hand excitedly.

"You can too!"

"Don't be afraid, everyone. This is just part of the evolutionary process. Just as humans replaced apes, you too are embarking on the path of evolution!"

"Join us and embrace glorious evolution!"

"The Burning Legion will surely—"

click,

Countless people's mobile phone and computer screens went black: the app that broadcast the extraordinary disaster was forcibly shut down.

However, this did not extinguish the shock and ambition of countless people.

American elites want to flee.

The Burning Legion has openly begun recruiting.
These two pieces of information instantly caused a huge uproar in America, and other countries were also eager to try.

After all, the idea of ​​"if you can't beat them, join them" has been human nature for many people since ancient times.

While the principal of an island nation may command global respect, he is too far removed from the world.

But the Burning Legion's promise is within reach!

Take a chance?
It's moisturized!
