I planted a sacred tree in Tokyo.

Chapter 640 The Light of Destruction
"I felt it; the Creator's displeasure and anger were directed at that city."

The ram-headed demon on the throne reached out and plucked a flower from the flames.

"My beautiful dream has ignited my flowers,"

Muttering words only he could understand, the Lord of Fire, dressed in a black gentleman's robe and wearing white gloves, stood up.

Akash,

"My most sentimental child, I command you to lead the legions and command the Flame Lords—you must use boundless flames to make those octopuses in the sea cry out in agony!"

This statement signifies a declaration of war against the existence of the 'Kreece' faction.

"That's what I meant, Dad."

A young man with white hair, sunglasses, a tie slung across his chest, and a cape like bat wings behind him readily accepted the order.

"Dubra,"

"My wisest child, I set your body ablaze and bestow upon you the weapons of the sword, saw, and axe—you shall use sulfur to refine your iron sickle and reap the remains of the dead from the desert!"

This statement means that war has been declared against the 'Ancient Egypt' faction.

"Yes, my father."

The little priestess answered calmly; she too had risen to the demon level, but now she would have to face the high priest.
"Katrina,"

"My bravest child, I bestow upon you a heart brimming with passion and an indomitable spirit—you must carve open the treasure trove of the sea kingdom and use gold and silver to create an image of our benefactor!"

As for this last sentence, it's obviously a declaration of war against the 'Sea Kingdom'.

"No need to say more, old man!"

The girl in the leather jacket and military cap carrying the iron chain is always full of fighting spirit, because that's her nature!
"Finally, Constance—"

After instructing his three children, the goat-headed demon duke's gaze fell upon his last child, a graceful young woman dressed as a succubus. She was the most talented among Duke Yan Yang's subordinates and his personally mentored daughter.

“My best child, my most ambitious child, I have nothing more to teach you.”

As the Duke spoke words of regret, the flower in his hand vanished in the flames.

From the fire, and back to the fire.

"Just remember, let Tokyo's prosperity wither and die; take everything away, leaving only the graves of the losers!"

With the Duke's resolute words, he declared war on all extraordinary forces!

thud,

"Hahahaha~~"

The huge iron ball crashed to the ground, and Katrina stepped on it.

"With our entire force mobilized this time, we are capable of sweeping away all obstacles and igniting this planet!"

In her view, with the old man leading the team, plus the four Ghost-level beings and other Flame Lords—no extraordinary force could stand against them!

"Katrina,"

A clear and alluring voice rang out. In response to the leather-clad hammer woman's question, "Hmm?", the elegant young woman, Constance, wearing a wide-brimmed sun hat, a white long dress, and small wings on her back and a heart-shaped tail behind her, spoke softly.

"It's better to be pessimistic; maybe we'll all die."

Tokyo now is a true 'dragon's den and tiger's lair,' where demon-level masters and dragon-level powerhouses gather in droves.

Even if these 'guests' are not familiar with each other, arrive at different times, or even remain on the sidelines: with their strength of one dragon and four ghosts, even if they gather the remaining 'Flame Lords,' it is still an extremely dangerous operation!

"Ah,"

The eldest son beside him, Akash, a playboy dressed as a rogue, chuckled.

"When has a creature of fire, which burns everything, ever feared death?"

They are all children of the 'Duke of the Blazing Sun,' born from the light of an explosion, destined for destruction.

"But Father,"

Behind the little priestess holding the apple, a huge fiery humanoid figure emerges, wielding a massive scythe: this is Dubra's battle stance.

"This trip is dangerous, what is the escape route?"

As the most 'rational' of the four children, the priestess Dubra believed in 'thinking about defeat before thinking about victory'.

"A way out?"

Duke Yanyang walked past his four children.
"It never existed in the first place!"

"Destruction is a magnificent moment; if one seeks survival through base means, life is far too long."

As he walked to the castle gate and gazed into the distance, the city of 'Tokyo' came into view through the Duke's monocle.

He could sense a power similar to his own, but at a higher level, subtly surging within the city: without a doubt, only the 'Creator' possessed such power. Therefore, he naturally had no hesitation:
"Light should shine and radiate freely, until—"

extinguished.

"Burning Legion, march!"

Tokyo,

Outside the Tokyo Basin,
Chiba Strait Port.

"Dear viewers, it's been a long time!"

Standing atop the towering crane at the dock, an excited "news king" returned to his old ways, finally abandoning his cringe-worthy "manzai" (traditional Japanese stand-up comedy) and starting a live broadcast:
"Look, now arriving in our 'Irregular Seas' are the three kings: Luffy, Roman, and Annie!"

"Of course, we all know that the real fighting force is the Luffy brothers."

"Anne is a doctor, and Roman sells fruit."

"Hehehe~~KYG!"

Luffy, who had received a superhuman metal arm, waved and greeted everyone loudly.

"That guy is being nosy again."

Cervantes' Roman snorted coldly at KYG, who was making up stories about himself "filling up his time," and his face behind his sunglasses darkened.

He's selling 'artificial Devil Fruits,' a unique and extraordinary resource found nowhere else in the world.

It's not something that can be described as just 'fruit'!
"Oh, oh, oh, that's—"

KYG, who was live-streaming, suddenly disappeared. When Roman and the others turned around, he had already slid thousands of meters across the sea on his knees, because:

"This humble servant respectfully welcomes Young Master Ōtakemaru and Lady Kani-hime!" What could elicit such a gesture from KYG was naturally the enormous dragon palanquin that had flown in: a golden base, a white jade bed, and carried by eight Sea Kingdom soldiers with the ability to fly. Leaning against it was none other than the Sea Kingdom's master: Ōtakemaru.

"Hey, KYG, you're doing a live stream again."

Kani-hime, dressed entirely in a pink kimono, with a pink heart-shaped birthmark on her face and one hand shaped like a crab claw, waved her other, fair and delicate hand.

"Go for it!"

"Thank you for your praise, Lady Crab Princess!"

KYG was completely impressed and took a deep breath. He wasn't just saying it; he was genuinely proud of it.

Without Kani-hime, he wouldn't be where he is today: just a lucky blogger.

"Ōtakemaru is here too?!"

"This is the master of the Sea Kingdom."

The live broadcast camera had switched to facing the sea as the 'News King' slid to his knees: but just by listening to the conversation, you could tell that the master of the sea kingdom had arrived.

This is an undisputed 'Dragon-level' powerhouse. Together with her sister Suzuka Gozen, the three swords combined are enough to rival even 'Nine-Tailed Tamamo-no-Mae'. From today's perspective, the 'Strong Dragon' rating given to 'Nine-Tailed Tamamo-no-Mae' is somewhat insufficient; perhaps 'God-level/S-level' would be a more accurate description.

"Lord Otakemaru!"

"The mighty maritime nation!"

A massive golden and white jade dragon chariot flew over skyscrapers and headed straight for Adachi Ward, eliciting cheers from countless people, who couldn't help but feel a sense of longing.

"A man should be like this!"

Of course, whether anyone secretly thought, "He can be replaced," is unknown.

But feelings of envy are something everyone experiences.

After all, this is a Dragon-level weapon!

How many ordinary people can see a dragon-level creature in normal times?
Let alone dragon-level, the aftershocks of a dragon-level battle are enough to cause the disappearance of millions of people.

not only that--

"Look!"

"Golden clouds?"

"Idiot, the high priest of ancient Egypt has arrived!"

On the other side of the sky, a cloud of golden sand drifted by: above the sand, two magnificent horses pulled a golden chariot in the style of ancient Egypt at high speed: on the chariot stood a high priest with high eyebrows, a deep nose, a bald head, and a black robe.

And there was a beautiful woman, arm in arm, wearing a long dress in the style of ancient Egypt, with her black hair adorned with jewels and pearls.

Imhotep, and his lover Anshunam.

The reputation of this "most affectionate man in ancient Egypt" is known throughout the world: he makes no secret of the fact that he killed the pharaoh just to take the queen into his arms; in order to resurrect his lover, he sacrificed millions of people in one go - although some of them were used by him to restore his own body, but no one else knew about it.

He can be described as a true 'domineering CEO,' and the kind with off-the-charts fighting skills.

Other countries have given him the rating of 'Dragon-level/S-level'.

As this figure appeared in the sky, the crowd cheered, and many bowed their heads.

Faced with a Dragon-level powerhouse, if it weren't for that 'principal' in Tokyo, they wouldn't be in this posture; they would be completely submissive.

"Ok?"

Just at this time,
The high priest in the golden chariot turned his head slightly;
Suddenly, light appeared in the south, like the rising sun, a majestic display of light radiating across the horizon—yet the sun was already high in the blue sky and white clouds, so why was sunlight appearing there? Unless—

"Darling, is this the power of 'pull'?"

As a 'god-blood warrior' from three thousand years ago, Anzunam is not just a pretty face;

She once fought to a standstill before the Pharaoh against Princess Neferdil, who had received the blessing of the cat god Bastet.

"It is the power of a foreign god, there is no need to panic."

Imhotep patted Ansunam's hand, signaling her to calm down.

"The owner of this place will handle it."

Really coming?

Yu was already aware of the Burning Legion's full deployment.

But it is precisely because he knows this that he finds it unbelievable: how many powerful people are gathered in Tokyo now? The 'Duke of the Blazing Sun' that he created is not a reckless person. How come his whole family suddenly came here?

With the characteristics of 'Radiant Escape', the Duke only needs to lay a path of light to instantly lead all the 'Flame Lords' to Tokyo.

and so:
"Stop,"

Above the sea, a pitch-black curtain suddenly rose, blocking the path of the blazing sunlight.

boom------------

The next moment, endless light crashed into the black curtain, and the blocked light condensed into figures: Duke Yanyang, his four children, and three Flame Lords.

"Are you one of the Six Paths?"

The Duke of the Goat, wearing a monocle, scanned the dark curtain and the person floating above it.

The long robe with black background and red clouds, and the six purple circles around his eyes, belong to the most mysterious and powerful person in this world: Rokudo, the leader of the Akatsuki organization!

"Get out of the way,"

"Our Fire Demon clan has a grand feast to hold in Tokyo!"

Duke Yan Yang's tone made You Du frown: Was this the kind of reckless personality he had 'set' for him?
"I'm giving you one last chance,"

"Get out or die!"

After all, they were extraordinary forces that he had put a lot of 'effort' into creating, so Yu was prepared to show mercy and let them go; however, the other party didn't think so:

“The Creator is angry, how can we, as His subjects, back down!”

?

What are you saying?
Even I, the 'creator', can't understand it.

"In that case——"

Slowly raising his hand, Yu planned to beat the other person to the ground first, and then figure out what was going on.
