I planted a sacred tree in Tokyo.

Chapter 637 Born Holy
Adachi Ward,
"Nao, we've come to see you~~"

The Nao family residence, heavily guarded by Onmyoji (yin-yang masters) of the Hanakain Temple.

As soon as Xiaoying entered the room, dressed in her everyday clothes, she ran towards Nao on the bed—the small bed next to it.

"Cute little princess, let Aunt Ying give you a hug."

"Be careful not to scare the baby."

Following closely behind, Nagisa Ichiyo closed the door, walked to the bedside, and sat down gracefully.

"How's your body?"

"There haven't been any problems for a long time."

Sitting on the bed, Nao smiled gently, her whole demeanor becoming calm and graceful.

"With our superhuman physique, we could go to the battlefield immediately after giving birth; however, my parents insisted that I be completely 'fat', so I had no choice but to stay here."

The term 'Fei Li' is equivalent to 'sitting the month' or 'postpartum recovery' in formal terms; but as Nao said, with the physique of a superhuman, it is not impossible for her to fight while holding a baby right after giving birth: of course, no one would let her do that.

"I can't be reckless, but—"

Sitting beside the hospital bed, Nagisa Ichiyo looked around the room that belonged to Nao.

"He didn't come?"

It goes without saying who the 'he' Yiye is referring to is.

"cough,"

"Actually, I've always been here."

A coughing sound came from the side, along with You's voice reminding him.

"It's just that the illusion magic I possess shields you from your senses."

Leaving aside the fact that Yi Ye was a fraudulent Transcendent, even Xiao Ying didn't realize there was another person in the room.

"I'm sorry, Yu-kun."

Wow, the baby's eyes are so beautiful!

On the other side, the baby held by Xiaoying opened its eyes; its purple pupils were full of curiosity and innocence.

"What color is this pupil?"

Yiye's attention was also drawn to the baby, and she hesitated for a moment.

"It's the Rinnegan."

Yu gave the answer directly.

These 'Rinnegan' eyes are equally famous in this world: Pegasus's 'Amaterasu bloodline' manifests as ethereal white pupils; Ie and Hikaru's 'Susanoo bloodline' is an ominous black and red; and the one who possesses the purple-circled 'Rinnegan' is naturally the mysterious Akatsuki leader, 'Rokudo'.

That's right, Nao's child was born with the Rinnegan!

Moreover, it's a Rinnegan without any burdens or side effects: with the added blessing of the 'Otsutsuki clan' bloodline, once he reaches adulthood, he will be a 'god-level' being in this world!
Even in its current infant state, it possesses tiger-level spiritual power. Even relying solely on the automatic defense brought by its bloodline, it can withstand attacks below the ghost level.

In the truest sense, they are born at the very end of the line for all mortals!

"So, 'Chief,' you've finally admitted your identity?"

When Xiao Ying, who was holding a child, teased her, You calmly waved her hand.

“I’ve said it before: Rokudo is Tsukuyomi’s ‘face’, but not me.”

This is not a lie: Rokudo is just one of Yu's clones. Yu is not satisfied with the mere 'Rinnegan' or other identities. What he wants is true omnipotence!

"Okay, it's all up to you."

Xiaoying didn't delve into You's explanation.

"Sweetie, I don't have any food. Let your mom feed you."

Noticing the baby in her arms begin to suckle, Xiaoying knew it was hungry, so she handed it to Nao on the bed and turned to look at Yu.

"Does the child have a name yet?"

"Yes,"

Yu touched her chin.

"Let's call it 'See You at Moonlit Night'."

Or, according to the mythological terminology, it should be: Seeing Fate on a Moonlit Night?

"It's not about what makes you happy."

At this, Xiaoying almost rolled her eyes. Isn't this name one of the alternative names for 'Tsukuyomi'? How audacious! Since You dared to use it, it means there's no problem.

"When this child makes his appearance, he'll definitely scare a lot of people, right?"

She was born with the 'eye of God,' so her parents must be—

"Oh, don't worry about the details."

You calmly waved his hand. He could crush this planet without any problem now, and he no longer cared about these issues: what did it matter what others speculated about, or what the truth was?

Having a hard time?
Is there no need to continue practicing cultivation?
Would these hostile forces really shake hands and make peace?

In everyone's eyes, this was nothing more than a pre-planned scheme by the island nation's pantheon; seeing through it but not saying it was the way to survive in the extraordinary world.

Since it is an extraordinary rebirth, the return of the gods was expected; everyone will continue as usual, and may even feel fortunate: the gods of the island nation are all homebodies. If it were the Greek pantheon, there would probably be divine monsters and demigods running around everywhere!
After all, in Greek mythology, that 'ultimate stallion' was indiscriminate in his desires, consuming both men and women, and even cattle and sheep.

But thinking about it carefully, maybe it's also an opportunity?
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.

Nao's family,
While it's nice to see people playing with children,

Many factions are struggling to decide what gift to give when it comes to the "celebration of the meal."

That principal's child must be extraordinary; choosing a gift is a big problem—it needs to be unique yet not too ostentatious.
of course,

It was just a headache.

The American government is the one that is truly in a hurry!
With the Burning Legion link revealing two earth-shattering pieces of news, the entire American society has been thrown into turmoil.

"The truth! We need to know the truth!"

"Every American citizen has the right to know the truth!"

"We work so hard, we fight on the front lines—is all of this just to buy time for the powerful and wealthy?!"

Countless men and women, holding signs and waving Stars and Stripes, took to the streets, their angry voices echoing through the city. Unlike previous partisan struggles, this was a nationwide mobilization.

This was not limited to the Great Lakes region; ordinary people in almost all cities spontaneously organized themselves into massive marches that stormed local municipal, state, and federal governments.

The powerful and wealthy are all fleeing, and the Burning Legion is starting to recruit.

Why keep going to work? Are we just waiting to die?!
“No, absolutely not!!”

"An explanation is required, or we will strike permanently!"

Amid the organizers' shouts, a massive crowd stormed into various municipal and state government buildings, only to find them deserted.

Because of a certain 'principal's' ban, no one can 'use force' now; the government's advantage has vanished instantly. Faced with angry citizens, what choice do they have but to run away and wait to die?
If you accidentally get judged as 'fighting' during a shoving match and are instantly killed, wouldn't you have nowhere to turn for help?

If you can't afford to offend, can you still afford to hide?
Normally, I would definitely show these guys what 'freedom' and 'democracy' really mean!
Even in Washington, D.C., where residents' families have been of the "plain white flag" for three generations, large crowds gathered in front of the White House.

Even if they are patriotic, they dare not remain indifferent in the face of such a life-or-death matter—no, it is precisely because they know the government's character that they dare not gamble.

"They're out,"

"It's the President."

"Oh, America, why—"

Compared to other cities, the crowd here was relatively calm. There was no shouting, no storming of the White House, and not even any signs: it was believed that unless the government was truly deaf and blind, it was impossible for them not to hear the voices of the entire United States. At the White House entrance, Secret Service agents quickly carried over a podium to prepare the venue for the blond president.

Meanwhile, television stations across the country, regardless of party affiliation, all turned their cameras on him.

And numerous foreign media outlets have also begun live streaming:
"People of America,"

In an instant, the president's speech resounded simultaneously across all towns and villages in America, as well as on the front lines and in the rear, via the internet.

"I understand your doubts, and I understand your demands. Unfortunately—"

"It's all true."

The blond-haired commander's opening remarks directly affirmed the Burning Legion's propaganda offensive.

!!!

"But what I want to say is that I will not run away or hide!"

While everyone was still stunned by his words, the blond president took a deep breath and spoke, his serious gaze sweeping over the crowd before finally settling on the numerous cameras in front of him.

"I'm not going anywhere. I will stay here with you until the end of my life!"

? !
"Yes, the government is secretly implementing the 'Spark' program."

After establishing his position, the blond president slowly began to speak: With his previous words as a guarantee, not only these Washington residents, but also people from other states, would at least be able to listen to him continue.

"The government is indeed building spacecraft in low Earth orbit, but ladies and gentlemen!"

"The technology of our time is far from enabling interstellar travel."

This is a fact. With the widespread use of the internet, many things have become transparent: even if one country can block information, what about other countries? Others are not obligated to cooperate with you on things like 'planning a global strategy' or 'modifying the historical records of all countries'.

It only exists in dreams: to be able to do this level is comparable to 'Infinite Tsukuyomi'!

Most people have some understanding of the technology of this era.

Therefore, this plan is not a perfect 'Noah's Ark'.

The president's solemn voice echoed in front of the White House and on cell phones, computers, and televisions throughout America.

"We have no idea what we will encounter in the vast universe: how long those supplies can last is also an unknown."

"Perhaps they died from a cosmic catastrophe, perhaps from a lack of resources, or perhaps they encountered other extraordinary beings—"

As the president spoke, the protesting crowd gradually calmed down.

Yes,

While the planet beneath our feet is certainly fraught with danger, is it truly safe to leave this 'mother planet'?
I'm afraid that's not necessarily true.

"The government will announce the selection criteria for those participating in the 'Spark' program later."

"But no matter what happens in the end, I will stay on this land!"

Now that the 'Spark' project has been exposed, let's just announce it openly and recruit elites from all walks of life: although the number will certainly be very small, at least we have a goal, right?
At the same time, the blond president's promise was not a lie; at his age, his stubborn beliefs had taken over, regardless of whether those beliefs were good or bad.

Whether it's his eyes, his tone of voice, or his facial expressions, it all shows that this president is truly prepared to 'live and die' with America.

"Old stubborn" is not just an insult, but a description.

“I also know that many people—right now as I am speaking—are heading to the West Coast to join the Burning Legion.”

He raised his hand and pointed in the direction of the reporters, just like the iconic "You are you" pose from that classic advertisement.

"Remember, we are human beings!"

"Our lives today are not a gift from God, but something we have created with our own wisdom and hands!"

"Raise your heads, proud people of America! You need not panic, you need not be afraid. We will overcome all difficulties and make America great again!"

? !
A deathly silence fell over the White House; a few seconds later:
"Make America Great Again!"

Someone raised their arms and shouted,

"Make America Great Again?"

Some people seemed to be deep in thought.
"Make America Great Again!"

Some people were red-faced and angry, while others were hoarse from shouting. The immense pressure of the extraordinary era had always been on everyone's heads, and it would be impossible not to feel resentment.

In the past, everyone believed that humans were the most intelligent of all beings, and that gods were merely religious symbols.

But now, humanity is the one struggling to survive, and superhuman power is the dominant force!
All the sounds blended together, becoming a roaring, thunderous roar.

"MAGA!!!"

"MAGA!!!"

"MAGA!!!"

Arms were raised high, and citizens shouted in unison;

This is an abbreviation for "Make America Great Again," a slogan chanted by the president's faction, who placed their own people among the crowd.

Such an exhilarating scene, broadcast live to the entire United States and even the world, has garnered approval from many countries.

America is known for its abstract and chaotic nature; however, when driven to the brink, it still displays a fierce determination to fight to the death.

Now, beset by internal and external troubles, they have unleashed their final, fierce spirit.

Of course, roars cannot harm extraordinary beings; courage alone cannot defeat the Burning Legion.

and so--

"Here I would like to introduce to you a 'Lord'."

As the blond president raised his hand in a gesture of invitation, a young man dressed in a simple robe slowly walked toward the podium.

"host?!"

"It's him, no, it's Him—"

The crowd that had just been shouting were all taken aback when they saw the newcomer, and then began to whisper among themselves.

The young man looked to be in his thirties, with defined features and a head of black curly hair. He wore a simple robe, which he wore with an ethereal and holy air. At first glance, he looked like a noble young man from a prestigious university, but upon closer inspection, his refined face was filled with compassion.

Luigi!
A being known throughout America, a being who killed a B-rank "Flame Lord" while in human form.

Although it was actually Xiao who was blown to a crisp that did the deed.

and--

Behind Luigi, an angel with folded wings and radiant light gracefully followed, causing countless people to instinctively clasp their hands in front of them and bow their heads in prayer.

"I am not God,"

Stepping onto the stage and facing a sea of ​​people and reporters, Luigi immediately denied his 'identity' in the very first episode.

"But I will lead you to survive, because—"

"I love you all."

If someone else said that, it might sound cheesy.

But coming from Luigi, whose eyes didn't flinch, it sounded so natural.

“I am the shepherd, and the shepherd must lay down his life for his sheep. My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.”

Luigi, who denied being 'God,' uttered words that only 'God' would say:

"I am with you until the end of the world."
