I planted a sacred tree in Tokyo.

Chapter 699 American: This is not home!!

"Fire! Fire!!"

Dadadadadadadadada——

Faced with these 'Spartan warriors' charging inexplicably, the American super soldiers naturally didn't stand idly by. They leveled their machine guns and immediately began to roar!
That's right, it's a machine gun.

Those who are able to board these 'spaceships' are naturally all elite soldiers.

Their powered armor was equipped with 30mm chain guns: heavy weapons that are usually only equipped on armored vehicles, which were then carried and fired by the superhuman soldiers!
This thing is no longer a gun, but belongs to the category of 'cannon'; carrot-sized shells whistled out, enough to penetrate armor.

"%#!!"

With a roar from the red-cloaked figure on the first chariot...
The other Spartan warriors on the chariots raised their massive round shields in front of them.

Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom—

The machine gun fire struck these shields as if it were hitting a heavy tank, sending countless sparks flying as the shields were deflected.

This is too ruthless! You should know that most wolf-level superhumans would not try to withstand machine gun fire.

What left America even more astonished was:
The leading Spartan officer neither dodged nor flinched, letting the machine gun fire pelt him. Several armor-piercing rounds, in particular, shattered into flames and fragments upon impact with his muscles; then, a gust of wind blew them away, and he was completely unharmed!

No, it did leave some charring on the other person's muscles.
Unfortunately, that's all; it doesn't seem to break through the defenses at all!
this,

The armor-piercing rounds carried by American soldiers are capable of penetrating the frontal armor of any known tank.

Such defensive power from the opponent is extremely exaggerated even among Tiger-level opponents!

Whoosh—whoosh—whoosh—

These Spartan warriors were not incapable of fighting back: spears that tore through the air and roared with sonic booms were hurled out, shooting straight between the two sides and piercing through the power armored warriors who were unable to dodge, sending them flying backward.

Crackling! ! !

As the distance rapidly closed, the unicorns pulling the carts all lowered their heads, lightning flashing on their horns.

As they shook their heads, bolts of lightning as thick as an arm shot out, densely covering all the Americans.

"Ahhhhhh~~~"

"Damn it!"

"save--"

Amidst vast oceans of leaping, wandering, and meandering lightning, convulsed human figures.

Even the spaceships parked nearby were struck by bolts of lightning and plunged into darkness: the interior of this behemoth was kept lit entirely by its lighting system.

At the same time, the hunting dogs vanished into thin air;

They appeared directly in the American team and launched a fierce attack on them from behind!

"Shit—"

Amidst standard American profanity,
Caught off guard by the sudden attack, the veterans, filled with shock and rage, leaped backward across the Crimson Continent.

These Roman—no, these Spartan warriors—roared in, taking down many with a volley of javelins; then they leaped from their chariots and swiftly pounced on the crowd: daring to expose their muscular chests and abs, standing right there on Mars, their strength was beyond question.

"What's wrong with these guys?"

"A magician! A magician! What's going on?!"

As they retreated, everyone shouted the code name 'Mage': In this situation, we should naturally ask the Mage to take action.

With a series of mysterious hand gestures, the 'magician,' who had also retreated to evade the surprise attack, finished casting his spell and pointed at a 'Spartan warrior'!
The opponent immediately became alert, holding up a huge metal round shield in front of them and hunching their shoulders in defense.

?

However, the light that flew from the 'magician's' fingertips disappeared without a trace when it landed on the shield, as if it were just an illusion.

This is certainly not an 'illusion,' but rather a 'magician's' spell:

Proficient in languages
"Answer me—"

Being suddenly attacked, the mage was naturally in a bad mood and immediately questioned the Spartan warrior angrily in the Spartan's 'language'.

Why did they attack us?!

? ?
The Spartan warrior struck by his spell was startled, then his gaze became even more dangerous.

"wizard?"

"Your blood is more suitable for sacrifice!"

Thump,

With a powerful push off the ground, the Spartan warrior charged towards the 'magician' with a roar; a massive round shield stood before him, and a spear was gripped tightly in his backhand, extending from above the shield.

This is a standard ancient Roman tactic: a giant shield to block the charge, and once close, a spear thrusts like a venomous snake, killing with a single blow!
Hmph, you want to sacrifice me?
The middle-aged man, codenamed 'The Magician,' snorted coldly and raised a finger.

boom---

A massive earthen wall rose from the ground, blocking the way between the two.

Faced with this earthen wall, the charging Spartan warriors did not slow down; instead, they lowered their waists and thrust their shoulders forward. Their muscular bodies seemed to flow like mercury, gathering all their strength from their calves, thighs, waist, abdomen, and shoulders before crashing into it.

Rumble, rumble! !
The earth-based barrier, known for its defensive capabilities, was shattered by his direct smash!

Amidst the flying debris, the pupils of the Spartan warrior emerging from the wall, beneath his Corinthian helmet, contracted.

Because the wizard opposite had a fireball ready to be fired—the earthen wall was not only for defense, but also to block the enemy's line of sight and allow them to calmly prepare their spells.

call out----

The next moment, the huge fireball roared out.

The fireball transformed into an unparalleled ball of light and heat. Wherever it went, even the crimson ground that wasn't directly in contact with it was torn into a bright, dazzling river of lava! Carrying scorching winds, it directly engulfed the Spartan warrior.

At the same time, a beam of light swept past the 'mage'!
"It actually managed to break through my 'deflection shield'?"

He wiped his cheek, the blood on his hand making the 'magician' look extremely ugly.

In the instant he was killed, the opponent threw the spear in his hand, which injured the 'mage' in the face.

Although it was only a superficial wound, it already demonstrated one thing: if the opponent could injure him, it meant they had the ability to kill him.
"Roar!!"

A roar suddenly came from the other side; it was a veteran who had 'transformed'.

His body began to swell, transforming in the blink of an eye into a four-meter-tall monster: his entire body was covered in heavy metal armor covered with spikes, and his head was topped with steel horns like blades; only two points of light flickered under his enormous helmet, revealing boundless violence and tyranny!
Beneath the gaps in the armor flowed magma and intense heat: if this were in their 'homeland,' they could easily impersonate high-ranking members of the 'Burning Legion.'

The huge, crimson 'decapitation sword' in his hand was overflowing with wailing souls;

It's the 'Hellish Demon Refining' enhancement!
After transforming, the veteran, who was already considered a 'quasi-legendary' in strength, flashed and arrived next to a 'war chariot' that was charging around the spaceship.

With a swing of his massive decapitation sword, the earth exploded and erupted into countless boulders of lava. The endless lava engulfed, blasted away, corroded, and melted the unicorn warhorse, the chariot, and the Spartan warriors on it!
Not only did this veteran unleash his power,
Another veteran took out a patterned 'metal cube' and leaned against the spaceship next to him.

Despite being a sturdy spaceship shell, it dented in like putty and enveloped him as he leaned against it.

The next second, the spaceship began to flow around the spot where the veteran was trapped, and countless metal parts twisted and turned as if they had come to life, converging on it. In the blink of an eye, a huge gap was torn open in the spaceship, revealing the wrecked cabin inside!

Having been so violently dismantled, the spaceship is now useless.

But now is clearly not the time to worry about these things. Not only the hull of the spaceship, but even some spears, shields and guns scattered in the fierce battle rolled over and merged into it: soon forming a metal monster tens of meters tall!

"Roar------"

Composed of countless metals, the enormous metal monster, resembling a Tyrannosaurus Rex with four limbs and a tail, roared and charged towards the Spartan warriors.

Cybertronian Spark - Provisional Version
Bang! ! !
"Ahhhhhh!" The sound of metal colliding with flesh echoed throughout the battlefield!
A massive vehicle crashed into and tossed about by this behemoth, instantly destroying the vehicle and killing all its occupants. The valiant soldier was thrown high into the air, flailing his arms and legs in a frenzy.

???

With the veterans unleashing their power, the tide of battle was immediately turned around.

"%￥￥（*#？"

The leading 'Spartan officer' seemed to say something, but the others couldn't understand it.

But the 'magician' can understand its meaning:
"An alien bloodline warrior?"

The next moment, the officer revealed a bloodthirsty expression.

"It is worth my effort to offer your blood to the Heavenly Supporter, the Twelve Tribulations, and the Courage of this World!"

After saying that, the officer suddenly leaped out and fell towards the huge mechanical Tyrannosaurus Rex like a cannonball; he clenched his fist and twisted his waist in mid-air, and then threw a punch.

boom--------

This punch was so ferocious that huge sonic booms spread outwards! It actually sent the tens of meters tall mechanical Tyrannosaurus flying backwards, rolling wildly on the crimson earth! Countless metal parts and fragments were scattered like blood, forming a trail of retreat.

"Fake."

Young Alexander, a Black man, couldn't help but utter another American curse.

It wasn't that he was making a fuss; the mechanical body created by that veteran's 'spark' was not just a metal body: the 'source energy matrix' inside it made it capable of moving mountains and filling seas, and withstanding nuclear bombs!

He was actually sent flying by a single punch from this 'Spartan officer,' demonstrating the opponent's strength:
"legend?"

"legend!"

They exchanged glances, and these veterans made no hesitation—

Turn around and run!

They are veterans of Nightmare Space, and they never fight battles without earning points.

Given that they encountered legendary powerhouses, as well as so many masters, elite warriors, and monsters, it's not hard to understand what choices they would make without fully understanding the reasons behind it.

???

"Coward, look me in the eye!!"

The Spartan officer punched the 'Mechanical Tyrannosaurus Rex' into pieces with a few blows, then looked up at the figures speeding away, his eyes bloodshot with rage.

"Where is the honor of you soldiers? How could you—"

Why did they escape so decisively?
They're not even as good as those effeminate men in their fancy armor from 'Athens'!
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.

"So, those guys really were Spartan warriors?"

In the heart of a tawny mountain, the veterans who had escaped here had set up a 'sanctuary' in the mountains; they rested and organized intelligence there.

"Now it seems, yes."

With his hands facing each other, a head wearing a Corinthian helmet floated in front of him. The 'mage', who was reading information with his eyes closed, spoke.

He naturally possessed the ability to exchange for and master such a practical magic as memory reading.

"These warriors came from the city-state of Sparta."

Sparta, as everyone present knew.

America made a movie called "300," which was criticized for Xerxes' two-meter-tall bald look and his standard New York accent; however, the all-muscular cast was still very popular with Americans: regardless of anything else, people would support tough guys fighting.

However, he has now encountered a Spartan warrior and is being attacked by him without any explanation.
The only reason they weren't killed on the spot was because those guys were incredibly strong.

Let's spare these 'barbarians' for now.

"Is this so"

After reading the memories in the skull with his eyes closed, the middle-aged man codenamed 'The Magician' opened his eyes.

"Everyone, we're in trouble."

"This planet belongs to someone—"

"Could they be Greek gods?"

With her red hair braided and hanging down her chest, Fiona, dressed in ancient Greek attire, spoke with a grim expression.

"Yes."

"I think we should go back."

A veteran spoke with a troubled expression, subconsciously leaning against the wall.

"Let me clarify first that I am not discriminatory; but I myself am a staunch heterosexual."

What is the most famous aspect of Greek mythology?

Of course, it's the stallion Zeus!
This god, who is indiscriminate in his worship of all things, greatly expanded the number of demigods and mythical creatures in Greek mythology.

His wife, the goddess Hera, wasn't just jealous; she was consumed by jealousy.

You can run into thirty of Zeus's 'lovers' just by going out for a walk!
this--

I'm even more conflicted now!

"Don't panic,"

The middle-aged man, codenamed 'The Magician', rubbed his temples.

"That King of the Gods probably hasn't noticed us, right? Probably?"

However, even the 'magician' himself hesitated to say such a thing: who told them to so casually descend from the sky in their spaceship, and the scene of their landing was witnessed by the warriors of 'Spartacus City' who rushed over.

Even the Olympian gods themselves wouldn't believe they were unaware of the situation!
Thinking of this, the 'magician' glanced at the crowd: perhaps there are 'gods' who have infiltrated here.

No, if there truly is a 'deity' watching, then feigning ignorance is the wise thing to do; just like the island nation's government did—

"This planet is shrouded in a divine barrier,"

“The area is inhabited by Greek immigrants from thousands of years ago, so we didn’t notice anything unusual from the outside.”

The 'magician,' whose mind was racing with various thoughts, explained the situation to everyone:
"Scattered across this planet are numerous city-states."

"The largest of these were Athens, which worshipped the goddess of victory, Athena, and Sparta, which worshipped the god of war, Ares."

As for why the Spartan warriors attacked them, the reason is quite simple:
Ares is the god of war, mutiny, slaughter, and riot.

"His city still retains the tradition of blood sacrifice."

Offerings

Naturally, they are the losers in the war!
People from other city-states, monsters in the wild, and—

"Outsiders like us."

After saying that, the magician couldn't help but facepalm.

What a terrible place! There are even more battles here than in my 'hometown'!
