Chapter 679 Extraordinary Opportunities Across the World
Orochi has been resurrected and returned.

Several days have passed since the 'god-level' supernatural disaster that was defeated by the gods.

Normally, it's other places that see island nations drenched in blood, but this time it's the other way around. The dead in the island nations have been resurrected by 'Yama,' while other countries—especially Western Europe—have lost more than half their population, leaving widespread devastation.

But since even the island nation's "Grim Reaper" who can revive 88.8 million people with a wave of his hand exists, perhaps those who have passed away can all enter heaven?

Although the conditions for entering the monotheistic 'heaven' are very strict, you can't just curse your own relatives and friends to go to hell.

The living,

We also have to face this suddenly expanding 'world';
Countries around the world are engaged in intense exploration, exchange, and development.

The buildings that have grown to enormous size are all like giant palaces and are no longer suitable for habitation; new cities need to be built.

Good news! Under the divine power of the 'God of Abundance', countless plants are growing wildly, bringing abundant food to this world. At the same time, due to the planet's proportional expansion, the reserves of minerals have also increased, enough to meet the needs of the upcoming 'mass production'.

The bad news is that wild creatures seem to be developing into 'monsters' on a large scale. In the future, it won't just be island nations that will be confined to cities; other countries will likely face similar difficulties.

As for the changes in celestial motion and the impact on other planets after a planet grows larger, that's beyond the comprehension of ordinary people, or even ordinary countries.

Only large nations or deities would concern themselves with such matters.

In short, the whole world is in a flurry of activity.

Tokyo,

Metropolitan Police Department Headquarters

"The Extraordinary Alliance Conference?"

A tall pile of documents lay on the desk. Director Zhu Ya put down her pen and looked up.

"Yes, Director."

The secretary brought over a chair, and the elderly man who had come to discuss the matter sat down.

It is the prime minister of the island nation!
In other words, the prime minister can sit for a while, but other cabinet ministers have to stand properly.

There was no other way; all the extraordinary affairs of the entire island nation depended on the person in front of them. Without the director, the island nation would probably have already split up and restarted the Warring States period: just like many countries in Western Europe, with various places stirring up 'independence'.

The government didn't have the capacity to care for all areas, so the locals naturally weren't going to just wait to die and started arming themselves.

"Because of the planet's dramatic changes?"

"yes,"

The Prime Minister sighed. This was a situation they had never encountered before, not even throughout the entirety of human history—

Perhaps humans in the mythical era witnessed it, but the civilization of that time has long since vanished.

"According to geologists' estimates, the planet we currently stand on has a volume of 7.083 × 10⁻⁶ km and a mass of 1.972 × 10⁻⁶ kg. Compared to before, it has expanded by about five times, and there are even signs that it is continuing to expand."

If the entire planet were scaled up five times, countless undeveloped areas would appear out of thin air, both on land and in the ocean.

On the bright side, the planet's various resources have increased fivefold out of thin air.

Given the current population size, the only word to describe it is 'sufficient'!

The cost, however, is:
"First of all, transportation will become increasingly difficult between the two cities."

Places that used to take only one hour by Shinkansen now take five hours: this will greatly increase transportation costs and difficulties.

What may have once been a small hill has now become a majestic mountain; the streams where children used to play have now become rivers large enough for ships to navigate; and Chiba Bay outside the Tokyo Basin could now be renamed 'Chiba Sea'.

In this situation,
Even airplanes are struggling, let alone ordinary means of transportation.

The advantages of ground effect vehicles are becoming increasingly apparent: their payload capacity far exceeds that of airplanes, their speed is unmatched by ships, and they also have a large amount of 'sacred wood' as material.

However, this was mainly the business of the Hanakain family, and it had always been handled by that 'Lady Nao' who gained power through her son: if she hadn't refused, the island government would have been prepared to treat her with 'divine rites'.

Regardless of whether she is strong or not, the divine eye of her child, Princess Tsukiyo, is enough to make the island nation's government dare not be negligent in the slightest.

"Secondly, there are evil spirits in the wild, giant plants, and various harsh environments, all of which will greatly hinder human development."

Don't forget, the island nation's wilderness is teeming with evil spirits!
After the arrival of Inari, the god of inari, his power swept across the globe, causing countless plants to grow wildly: weeds tens of meters tall and trees hundreds of meters tall were everywhere. When humans stood in the wild, it was like ants that had wandered into a land of giants.

In this situation, leaving the city becomes increasingly dangerous.

"But this is also an opportunity,"

Director Zhu Ya was naturally well aware of these circumstances.
Risk always comes with opportunity; after extraordinary disasters, humanity will achieve tremendous progress.

For example, the 'Kenmoku' in the direction of Osaka: a giant tree created when the god Inari descended, leaving behind a mountain range of giant flower petals in full bloom; it was enshrined by the Osaka government, which claimed it was a gift from the god Inari, and even planned to build a new city below it and relocate millions of people from Osaka there.

It immediately attracted countless people to that direction.

It's not just island nations; large numbers of wealthy people, and even middle-class individuals, from other countries are bringing their families to try and 'immigrate' here.

It is foreseeable that within a few years, it will become a new and extraordinary city!

That's the place where the Inari god descended!
This 'Goddess of Fertility' appears to be in charge of 'agriculture', but she is actually the daughter of the 'God of Destruction'. She was able to fight Orochi to outer space, and even the 'God of War' Takemikazuchi could only serve as her assistant, which shows how powerful she is.

Moreover, the mere arrival of the gods caused plants to grow wildly throughout the world, bringing a massive amount of food. It can be said that the gods' grace was as vast as the sea and their power as mighty as a prison!
Furthermore, the scattered, mountain-like "sacred trees" from the Osaka battlefield are truly "natural treasures," used to create extraordinary armor and swords, far surpassing any man-made alloy.

A knife cleaving a bullet?
It's about to become an outdated, weak version of a chicken!
Once these 'sacred trees' are manufactured into equipment, they can completely cut through missiles and withstand heavy artillery fire.

Of course, the wearer must be a superhuman, otherwise they would be shaken to death: the superhuman armor was intact, but inside was a pile of minced flesh.

It can be said that, apart from Kafka Land being "relegated", Osaka has won big this time: it has gained a "holy land" for free, making Tokyo grit its teeth in hatred.

While Tokyo would certainly be saddened if Osaka were destroyed, seeing Osaka in such a precarious situation is even more heartbreaking for the cabinet ministers.

The relationship between Kanto and Kansai has been like this since ancient times.

"Yes, opportunity."

The Prime Minister nodded, then turned the conversation back to the reason for his visit.

"We got the biggest slice of this extraordinary opportunity."

At first, the people of Jiukongyao, who loved to make trouble, were filled with anxiety, while other countries watched the show with glee; no matter how great the battle, it ultimately had nothing to do with them.

In the end, Enma resurrected all those who had died during that time, and the Inari God left behind a vast sacred site called Jianmu on the battlefield. These scattered top-tier extraordinary sacred trees alone were enough to bring immense profits to Osaka and the island nation.

However, many countries that were just watching the show suddenly lost half their population!
With such a comparison, one can imagine the sense of imbalance in one's heart.

"What do those countries dare to do?"

What can it do?
Director Zhu Ya asked indifferently,
Don't be fooled by the fact that he practically knelt to enter a certain school principal's office; in the 'mortal' world, he is both a demon-level powerhouse capable of single-handedly defeating an entire nation and the super-powerful commander of an island country. His strength and status far surpass those of most countries on this planet.

"Of course they wouldn't dare to have any complaints about the island nation," the Prime Minister echoed with a smile.
He continued:
"But—they have the ability to destroy the environment."

? !
Whether it's construction or preservation,
It is a thousand times more difficult than destruction and annihilation.

Just like killing someone, an ordinary soldier can do it by pulling the trigger.

However, the resurrection of the ancient Egyptian high priest, who spent millions of people to resurrect his lover, demonstrates the immense difficulty involved.

That 'Yama' can resurrect millions with a flick of his hand because he is a high-ranking deity: let alone ordinary people, even ordinary extraordinary beings can forget about it!
"These guys."

Upon hearing the Prime Minister's words, Director Zhu Ya frowned.

Other countries may not have the power to threaten the island nation, but they do have the ability to self-destruct!
Don't forget, the Yamata no Orochi was only repelled: given the nature of these high-ranking gods and demons, it's perfectly normal for them to revive at any time. In mythology, Susanoo personally tried to skin and tear it apart, but even that failed to completely destroy it!
If any country starts recklessly destroying the environment, and then the Yamata no Orochi awakens:
Alright, everyone, let's continue our journey to the underworld hand in hand.

"What are their conditions?"

After a moment's thought, Director Zhu Ya asked: "Since the Prime Minister has come to see you personally, there must have been intense wrangling, diplomacy, and weighing of options."

"Open up trade in extraordinary potions and materials."

New Bunkyo District
In the principal's office of the Jujutsu High School, which is jokingly referred to as the core of 'Academy City'.

"Exchange student?"

Picking up the documents in front of her, Yu also had her own work to do.

"Yes, Principal."

The middle-aged teacher in front of me nodded. Despite his appearance as a middle-aged corporate slave, he was actually the object of envy and jealousy for countless people.

Sakuma Satoru,

He was already nearing the end of his life.

However, during his travels, he encountered the 'Flying Demon' Aisei Aki.

His genuine concern persuaded the high school girl to "turn back from the wrong path"; she even "turned back" and threw herself into his arms.

Using her ability to absorb and release spiritual energy, the high school girl "injected" spiritual energy into him, her teacher, every day, forcibly turning him into a peak Tiger-level transcendent being.

Although it is almost impossible to go any further, the Tiger level is already the pinnacle of countless extraordinary beings; without fighting or hard training, one can level up while holding a beauty in one's arms. How can one not be envious of such ease?
As for the Ghost level, that's the level of geniuses.

“All students in our Academy City already possess spiritual power.”

"This level of teaching is a model that schools in island nations and around the world aspire to emulate. Therefore—"

Top schools from almost every country sent their best students to prepare for an academic exchange with 'Academy City'.

It's not just spiritual power; the extraordinary knowledge taught in this city, the numerous extraordinary masters, and even visitors from demiplanes are all targets that countries covet.

"That's it,"

After thinking for a moment, You picked up the pen on the table.

"That's right."

Once he signed his name, it meant that the door of opportunity for countless students from other places had been opened.

Since they are 'exchange students' from other countries, then:

"I recently found the coordinates of a 'demiplane'."

The so-called "some time ago" was actually just a few seconds ago; but if You didn't say anything, who would know?
"Tell the exchange students from those countries that the final task of this exchange program is to explore the demiplane, and let them be prepared."

?

"Okay, Principal."

Sakuma Satoru, a middle-aged office worker and teacher, nodded in agreement.

He was a very traditional teacher who didn't think much about anything other than teaching and caring for his students. So he didn't know what a huge uproar this would cause to the outside world!

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.

"A demiplane?!"

"Yes, that 'principal' brought it out as a topic for students to discuss."

"Great, great, that's wonderful!"

"Praise be to the Principal! Your generosity extends to the world, so kind, so loving—"

Upon hearing this news, other countries were naturally overjoyed and selected their elites, eager to make their mark in the 'demigod plane' and obtain extraordinary inheritances.

Demiplanes are no longer a secret.

Of the three known demiplanes, one, the 'Monster Demiplane,' was used by the headmaster as a training ground for the students.

It contains a considerable number of wolf and tiger-level superhumans, and a few ghost-level ones as well. Most importantly, that world is famous for its superhuman swords. The decapitation sword of the Asura Sword Saint 'Xiao' and the explosive sword of Director Zhuya were both forged by the old man 'Daodaozhai' who came from that demiplane.

Aside from these Ghost-level extraordinary swords, there are also quite a few Tiger-level extraordinary weapons, such as the spoils of a certain 'eight-person team'.

The other is the 'Demiplane of Gods': It is said to be the hiding place of some island gods' 'avatars' a thousand years ago. Because of their long period of independence, these avatars were unwilling to return to their original bodies, so they secretly created a goddess 'Ten' in an attempt to rebel.

As a result, in the Pacific War, all those 'false gods' were wiped out.

This also led to the emergence of the Burning Legion.

But it was from this demiplane that the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department of the island nation obtained the breakthrough path to 'ascend to godhood'.

The last one is 'The King of Fighters World', which is even more heavyweight!
It was in this plane that the demon god 'Orochi' came to be; he sliced ​​a planet in half with a single finger, nearly scaring countless people to death on the spot.

Recently, it was even resurrected because of the activities of that 'young lady': if the gods of the island nation had not appeared and defeated the opponent in space, it would have been just a thought to kill all of humanity in the world with the power of 'Yamata no Orochi'.

Demiplanes are certainly dangerous, but with that 'principal' in charge, what kind of trouble could he possibly cause?

The island nation's government also agreed to the trade cooperation for 'extraordinary medicines' and 'extraordinary supplies';

Great, all the good things have happened at once!

While countless young 'extraordinary prodigies' were eager to try their luck, Yu had already begun preparing for his new experiment.

Since fusion is not an option for the time being, what about the corresponding attributes clashing with each other?

Even the universe was born from the 'Big Bang'.

It is clear that explosions are not only art,
It even points directly to the great path!
