I planted a sacred tree in Tokyo.

Chapter 653 The Young Lady's 'Ten Blades'

"Principal, these are reports from students at various schools."

The crystal-clear door was pushed open, and a teacher came in with a document, respectfully handing it to You behind the desk.

Don't be fooled by the fact that Sora and the others are always loitering in the principal's office; it doesn't mean there aren't other people there. Teachers come to report information to Yu from time to time—not only about this Jujutsu High School, but also about other schools in 'Academy City'.

With the birth of the little princess 'Tsukiyomi',

Anyone with a discerning eye could vaguely sense that this 'principal' was extraordinary, but he was simply too low-key.
Or perhaps they're too much of a homebody, spending their days either at home or in the office; they seem like the moon in the sky, seemingly high above, yet unattainable.

"Just yesterday, the last student in the new Bunkyo Ward also gained 'spiritual power,' making all 23 students extraordinary!"

The teacher proudly reported that such an achievement deserved the evaluation of 'great success'.

That's right,

As time went on, the island nation's 'supernatural potion' technology became increasingly sophisticated.

With the existence of the 'Divine Tree', Tokyo has the highest concentration of free-floating chakra in the air, making every breath equivalent to training. Add to that the physical training, swordsmanship, combat, and archery courses that make up a large portion of the curriculum in various schools, and the 'supernatural potions', and achieving superhuman status for everyone is only a matter of time!
"But most students are only at the dog level."

While flipping through the documents in her hand, Yu gave instructions to the teacher.

"Although the results are encouraging, we must not be complacent: only the Wolf level can be considered truly extraordinary."

"Yes! Principal!"

The teacher immediately straightened her chest and raised her head.

"I will definitely urge my students to study hard and practice diligently so that they can become useful talents as soon as possible!"

"Go down."

With a wave of his hand, the teacher bowed and left.

"I never imagined that supernatural power would become so 'cheap'?"

Qiong Mei, who was browsing the news next to her, put down her phone, rested her chin on her hand, and reminisced about her 'glorious days'.

"In the past, people would fight tooth and nail for a single bottle of superhuman potion, but now it's possible to achieve 'everyone becoming superhuman'—in the future, those without superhuman powers won't even be considered 'human,' right?"

Yu, the instigator of Qiongmei's sentiments, shrugged.

"Times have changed,"

The blood of extraordinary individuals can be used to create extraordinary potions.

However, the extraordinary beings created in this way will experience a 'downgrade' phenomenon: the blood of a wolf-level extraordinary being will inevitably only produce a canine-level being. The blood of a canine-level extraordinary being even needs to be concentrated for an ordinary person to advance to the extraordinary level.

This is precisely what limits the expansion of the extraordinary; otherwise, one person could drink the medicine, then have their blood drawn to create the potion, and then drink the medicine again to become extraordinary.
Such a chain reaction-like spread should have ushered the entire world into an extraordinary era long ago.

The reason is that,
Only the blood of superhumans at the Wolf level or above can reliably produce the potion.

However, here's the problem—why can't a Wolf-level superhuman thrive without resorting to selling blood? It's not like we're in America!

Theoretically speaking, the blood of a Ghost-level transcendent being is a rare and precious treasure. However, in reality, who would dare to ask a Ghost-level expert for it?
Even the hair of a strongman is enough to attract numerous forces to fight over in the 'black market'.

Those with looser crotches are even more attractive, with beautiful women and handsome men to choose from.

However, most powerful people don't care about these 'low-level interests'.

However, the island nation has the advantage of 'favorable timing and location'. With the occasional supernatural disasters and a large number of superhumans, it is currently only the entire 'Academy City' that is superhuman. It is believed that it will not be long before the entire island nation becomes superhuman.

At that time, it will probably be just as Qiong Mei said: those without spiritual power will be expelled from the 'human' list!
"This is the wheel of time,"

You leaned back in the chair.
"No one can stop it."

I am the dominant force!

"It sounds like your brother is... happy?"

As expected of her closest confidante, Qiong Mei immediately sensed the hidden pride and joy in You's tone.

"With more and more extraordinary individuals emerging, there will definitely be more and more powerful ones in the future; if any problems arise, I won't need to take action—"

Qiong rolled her eyes at Yu's answer.

"lie."

With an increase in the number of extraordinary individuals, geniuses will indeed emerge.

However, even geniuses need time to develop, various 'opportunities', and combat experience: even those like Takashi, Hina, and Onoda who relied on 'talent' to reach the Demon level still went through many battles.

You can level up while lying down unless you have the bloodline of a god: like Tsukiyo.

He can fly in three months, move cars out of thin air in five months, and is rated as a wolf-level fighter in six months.
Born with the "Universal Pull" and "Divine Raid", even as an "infant", he still stands out from the crowd.

It can only be said that it truly deserves the title of 'Eye of God,' making countless low-level superhumans stuck at the dog level unable to even feel jealous!
However, even the 'Eye of God' needs time to develop.

In this situation, expecting other superhumans to withstand superhuman disasters is simply unrealistic.

"In the end, we still have to rely on my brother,"

"That's not entirely true. There are still quite a few strong individuals, for example—"

You pointed to the west.

Abe no Seimei of Heian-kyo.

It's time for that great yin-yang master to make his move: a certain young lady has finally made up her mind to fight to the death.

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.

Osaka,

The city remains bustling with traffic and crowds; the skyscrapers and billboards show no signs of the impact of this extraordinary era.

The Battle of Mount Koya almost reached this place, but the island nation drove them away with all its might. Later, when Abe no Seimei returned, he only occupied the ancient city of Kyoto and even gave the people living there three days to relocate.

Although Kyoto was shrouded in mist, becoming the god-level disaster 'Heian-kyo';
But for some reason, the great Onmyoji did not carry out a massacre, and did not even show his face.

After the initial panic subsided, people gradually got used to it: the extraordinary qualities of island nations are generally inherited from one another, and people tend to stay at home when they have nothing to do.

Besides, this place is protected by General Kafra and Master Shio of Mount Koya; they have neutralized several extraordinary disasters, making it much safer than other destroyed coastal cities.

However, because of the second moon in the sky, Osaka has now become an 'inland' city.

A large number of personnel were deployed to develop these areas that were exposed on the seabed after the tide receded.
Whether it's for building new urban areas or for cultivating land;

This brought a sigh of relief to the crowded Osaka.

However, this peaceful period is about to be shattered with a single order from a certain young lady.

She couldn't wait.

Chuo Ward, Osaka City

Otemae 3-chome No. 1, No. 11

Here stands a uniquely shaped building, a huge triangular building with a concave arc in front; it has both the grandeur of a government building and a modern aesthetic; it is the Osaka Prefectural Police Headquarters, which often appears in various movies, TV dramas and anime.

This used to be a popular spot for tourists and anime fans to take photos.

But now, there are no people with such a big heart anymore.

Because the people coming in and out of this building are all extraordinary special police officers who move quickly and are extremely capable and burly!

In the extraordinary era, many special police officers are essentially armored vehicles—imagine, with armored vehicles coming and going, how could an ordinary person dare to come here casually? If they were accidentally bumped into, it would be a physical case of staged accident: shattering like porcelain!
Ordinary people can handle related business at other regional government service halls; it's best to avoid places like this one, which is full of extraordinary individuals.

Ok?
However, right in front of this building, which is rarely visited by ordinary people, a 'person' walked straight towards it. The reason for using such an ambiguous word as 'person' is that the person was wrapped in bandages from head to toe, including fingers and toes. If it weren't for the hair peeking out from the top of their head, one would almost mistake them for an ancient Egyptian 'mummy' who had come to visit.

"Sir, please stop!"

As the 'bandaged weirdo' walked straight towards them, the two special police officers exchanged a glance and went to meet him.

"This is the Osaka Prefectural Police Headquarters. Are you here to handle a supernatural matter?"

Although the two special police officers were still asking questions, their expressions and tone were serious and cold, and their arms were slightly bent, clearly in a posture ready to exert force at any time.

"Are you the 'town magistrates' of this era?"

The moment the bandaged man spoke, the two super SWAT officers tensed up.

"Ah, don't be nervous. Look at you two with such serious faces, it's like you're wearing masks."

The bandaged man chuckled and continued forward, walking directly between the two over-issued SWAT officers; the two officers did not stop him, but stood frozen in place as if under a spell, their cold and hard expressions becoming increasingly blank.

Next second,
The faces of the two special police officers were like thin 'masks' that slid off their faces.

Not only that, but their bodies, limbs, and skin all over their bodies seemed to slip off like 'clothes,' revealing the red and white facial muscles and blood vessels underneath, which was extremely horrifying!

"Ahhhhh!!!"

Their skin peeled off in an instant, exposing their nerves to the air. Unimaginable, intense pain shot through their bodies, causing the two special police officers' muscles to twitch instinctively.

This caused their subcutaneous blood vessels to burst, and the blood seeping from their bodies rolled down like beads of sweat, further causing their nerves to frantically transmit pain signals!
However, they were still extraordinary special police officers, and one of them gritted his teeth and shouted with his last bit of strength:

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack—!!"

"Alarm! Alarm! Alarm!!"

As piercing screams rang out, alarms immediately went off in the triangular building: at the same time, figures smashed through windows and leaped out.

"Nishiki? Kondo——"

"Is it an extraordinary enemy?"

"attack!"

These extraordinary special police officers scanned the ground and, from the clothes and human skin, determined that the two screaming 'people' were their colleagues; the bandaged man slowly approaching was naturally the enemy, and they immediately lit up with a ghastly green light.

However, the bandaged man simply waved his hands, and a blurry afterimage rushed towards the group of special police officers.

? !
brush,

"Ahhhh!!!"

"My skin, my—"

As the afterimage flashed by, the special police officers in the air all let out painful screams.

Because their skin, like 'clothes', falls backward: when it hits the ground, it has all turned into a terrifying sight of white and red flesh and blood—in this state, let alone fighting, they can't even stand up.

However, after falling to the ground, without the flesh and blood of skin touching the ground, the nerve endings only send out signals of 'pain'.

"Oh dear, why are you in such a hurry?"

Amidst the cries of agony and collapse of numerous superhuman SWAT officers who had lost their skin, the bandaged man slightly raised his head.

A purplish-black light suddenly struck, and the bandaged man admired with great interest the long sword twisted from bone, its breathtaking arc, the flesh forged through countless trials, the captivating light reflected in the sunlight, and the faint 'demonic aura' on the blade.

I've had enough of admiring it.

The man with the bandages raised his hand and clenched his fist with all five fingers.

"This is the power of a 'half-demon'? Interesting, but—"

Snapped,

The long skeletal sword was held in the bandaged man's hand. Neither the sharp blade capable of cutting through heavy tanks nor the purplish-black demonic energy could cut through the opponent's thin bandages!
"too weak."

"Sir, who are you?"

His right hand twisted into a long sword shaped like a skeleton.

The extraordinary officer, who was wielding a sword from above, angrily questioned him, but the 'honest' language he used unconsciously revealed his cowardice.

He hadn't held back at all with that strike! Yet the other party caught it with ease: the special police officer was drenched in sweat and felt a chill, as if he had just been pulled out of ice water.

Tiger-level? Tiger-peak? Or...
"I?"

As the bandaged man answered, he raised his other hand.

Clang————

A violent impact suddenly rang out in the palm of his hand, accompanied by a shower of sparks!

After spinning at high speed for a few seconds, the 'armor-piercing bullet' that shot towards us finally exhausted its kinetic energy and fell helplessly to the ground: it turned out to be a finger radiating a metallic luster!
click,

Taking advantage of the situation, the extraordinary officer deliberately broke off his own "arm blade" and flew backward.

"Call for help! The enemy is a Demon-level monster!!"

"You don't need to tell me—"

Another extraordinary officer who leaped down had an icy expression.

He held a walkie-talkie in one hand and made a 'shooting' gesture with the other: the flesh of his entire palm was twisted into the shape of a gun.

"We must stop him before he arrives, otherwise..."

The officer, whose hand had transformed into a gun, was interrupted by a soft laugh before he could finish speaking.

"Hehehe, blocking my way?"

The bandaged man spread his hands, as if he had heard a joke, his chest heaving.

"Don't make me laugh, you think you can do this?"

"Ah, no."

The bandaged man seemed to have thought of something and tapped his forehead.

“I am already 'dead,' and I am no longer 'human.' So—”

With two extraordinary special police officers, one at a distance and the other at close range, on high alert, this 'bandaged freak' placed one hand on his chest and gave an elegant salute.

"Let me introduce myself,"

"I am the fifth seat of the Ten Blades under Miss Jiu Kong: Skin Peeler."

?

Nine-Earth Shake—

"And then, enjoy the pain."

? !
The sound from behind made the two extraordinary officers turn around abruptly. Their turn was so fierce that their skin remained in place as if it were 'clothes', leaving only two red and white figures to complete the turn.

"Aaaaaaahhhhh!!!" ×2
Amidst the screams of the two extraordinary officers, the bandaged man appeared inside the 'Osaka Prefectural Police Headquarters' building.

"I hope you enjoy this 'empathetic' pain."

As the bandaged figure flashed through the building, heart-wrenching screams spread—everyone's skin slid off as it passed, revealing the flesh beneath, just like the skinless 'human model' in physiology class!
Cruel, bloody, and terrifying.
