I planted a sacred tree in Tokyo.

Chapter 763 Devastating News Arrives from the Demiplane.
Rumble rumble rumble~~~!!
Dark clouds covered the sky, and thunder rumbled incessantly.
A fan-shaped mountain range stands tall on the earth, its height unknown, perhaps several thousand meters.

The volcano was clearly active, with billowing steam and clouds rising from its summit, its bright red light illuminating half the sky; a faint heat and the smell of sulfur emanated from the air.

The heat emitted by the volcano has created a lush, verdant forest at the foot of the mountain.

But the higher you go, the fewer trees there are, until finally only gray, jagged rocks remain, as if cut by a knife or saw—Mount Fuji, the symbol of the island nation, has this kind of structure.

Of course, while Mount Fuji is also an active volcano, it hasn't erupted for centuries, and its summit is covered in snow; this mountain, however, is clearly in an eruptive state, radiating light, heat, magnetism, and:
Crack! !
A bolt of lightning crashed down, painting the entire mountain range with a cold, hard hue.

"Woo~~"

Where the lightning struck,
Enveloped in a cloud of black iron sand, Tokugawa Shizuka couldn't help but let out a mournful cry.

Even with the 'Faraday cage' protecting her, the girl was still constantly struck by the free current. Her skin squeaked and crackled in the meandering current, as if it would crack and shatter at any moment, turning into ashes.

Moreover, under the powerful interference of lightning, the magnetic field she created became extremely unstable, and the 'Faraday electromagnetic cage' made of iron sand became precarious.

Magnet Release is formed by the fusion of wind and earth attributes. In the five elements' restraining relationship, the lightning attribute is exactly in between the two.

"No, we can't back down here."

Visible, leaping lightning was already appearing all over his body; but Tokugawa Shizuka gritted his teeth and continued forward—climbing the mountain.

What's a little hardship or injury?
This is an opportunity that others would kill for!

Because this is not the 'real world', but the 'divine realm' of a certain god.

"Go for it, Xiaojing~~"

A young girl in ancient costume floats in the air, her fist clenched with passion. She wears a white robe with a green ornament with a single magatama on her chest, and is surrounded by a flowing shawl, signifying her identity as a deity.

"My bloodline has been awakened after all. If I can't even overcome this little difficulty, then—"

The little girl has long, dark blue hair and wears a golden crown with a golden sphere on top, representing her 'Amaterasu bloodline'.

Golden, elongated pupils; black eyeshadow extending to the sides of her nose; pale skin; and a pair of blue-green comma-shaped earrings.

Her holy and obedient appearance makes her look as beautiful as a flower, but the words she speaks are ruthless:
"I might as well die here and become fertilizer."

That way, I won't embarrass myself.

? ?
You're really my ancestor!

Holding back from cursing on the spot, Tokugawa Shizuka, braving the relentless thunder, gritted her teeth and climbed step by step with great difficulty.

Not only does this mountain constantly dangle lightning from the sky, but it also possesses a powerful magnetic field; otherwise, how long would it have taken Tokugawa Shizuka, with her extraordinary speed, to run from the foot of the mountain to the summit?

"Keep going, just a little bit more, almost there!"

"We're almost there; our destination is just ahead."

Like a fitness coach, he kept encouraging Tokugawa Shizuka with 'lies' until the girl became dizzy and unsteady:

"Alright, training is over!"

As this adorable loli goddess raised her hand and waved:
The dark clouds in the sky dispersed, and golden sunlight shone down; the erupting volcano quickly went dormant, and layers of crystal-clear snow fell; even on the barren mountainside, grass and plants immediately broke through the soil and grew into a large tree with leaves like a crown in the blink of an eye.

In just a few seconds, the whole world changed dramatically: pristine and serene.

"Come on, Xiaojing, have a cup of tea and rest for a bit."

He beckoned to Tokugawa Shizuka, who was emitting wisps of smoke, and a wooden table and tea set rose from the grass: even the tea leaves were freshly grown.

Exhausted, Tokugawa Shizuka almost collapsed into her chair, looking at the loli goddess:
He looked at the tea placed in front of him with a complicated expression.

"What's wrong,"

"Doesn't Xiaojing like drinking tea?"

Faced with the questioning of the loli goddess—that is, Tagihime Miki—Tokugawa Shizuka shook her head.

“No, just.”

Some feelings,

The beginning of all this,
It's all because of Dolly's 'tea'.

Damn it!
Glug,

"This tea—?"

After taking a sip of the other person's tea, Tokugawa Shizuka's expression faltered slightly.

The spiritual energy in his body, which was originally exhausted, began to spread from his stomach and circulate throughout his body; the tiny wounds on his body were also constantly healing and regenerating.

"Huh huh huh~~"

The loli goddess stands with her hands on her hips, sporting a smug little expression.

"Be grateful, this is a divine tea that only gods can drink."

"Although you possess my bloodline, it is too diluted. This tea is a specialty of Takamagahara; it is merely an everyday drink for the gods, but for mortals, it is—"

A treasure for refining the power of bloodlines!

"Thank you, Princess Tagi, for the tea."

The girl in front of him looked like a little girl and acted quite casually, but Tokugawa Shizuka dared not be so casual.

This is not the mortal world, but the divine realm belonging to 'Takihime no Mikoto'!

Thinking of this, he used the teacup to cover his eyes;

Tokugawa Shizuka's gaze swept across the distance:
Below this mountain range lies a magnificent ancient island city, complete with pavilions, towers, and crisscrossing streets. Further away, there are patches of farmland; the people living here—whether warriors, merchants, farmers, or children—all appear content and at ease.

Perhaps, to them, Tagihime-no-Mikoto was the only 'god' in the world?
"Seimei has already told me about your matter."

The loli goddess, who likes to float in the air, lightly waved her fingers to direct the tea set to brew tea 'automatically', while glancing at Tokugawa Shizuka's chest.

"There is a price to pay for mastering my power."

"What is the price?"

Tokugawa Shizuka showed no surprise at this.

In fact, she didn't even offer a 'bestowing gift' and was transported here empty-handed; the other party did start to seriously teach her the 'magnetic' technique because of Seimei's letter of introduction, but in the end, Tokugawa Shizuka felt uneasy.

The fact that she now frankly admitted there were consequences actually relieved her.

Hopefully not too much.
"Those are those two lumps of fat!"

The loli goddess raised her hand and pointed at Tokugawa Shizuka's chest, making no attempt to hide her grief and indignation.

"Damn it, how could my bloodline contain such evil? Anyway, practicing 'magnetic' techniques will consume a lot of fat in certain areas, so—"

???

Is there such a thing?

Tokugawa Shizuka was speechless. I came here to learn 'magnetic techniques,' not to have my 'breast size decrease' because of it!
And look at the jealous look in the eyes of this loli goddess!

Make sure this isn't a curse He just placed.
Rules?
"This, this is it."

In the end, Tokugawa Shizuka managed to suppress her twitching lips.

She endured it in order to defeat Dolly's power!

"Lightning Strike, 50,000 Horsepower!"

Amidst crackling sounds, the elementary school students of Pallet Town clenched their fists and shouted, and crackling lightning burst forth from Ash's body;

The electric python and silver snake intertwined and slithered, emitting an unparalleled, dazzling white light; far from harming him in the slightest, it only fueled Ash's fighting spirit.

Next second,
With a stomp of his foot, he roared out, enveloped in lightning.

Wherever he passed, the air twisted and deformed, as if being torn apart by lightning!

Just by speeding past, the domineering lightning that erupted carved a wide, straight path through the snow! As Ash raced past, the ground beneath the ice and snow shattered, cracked, and shook violently.
"Thunder Fist!"

"Roar~~~ A million-ton punch!"

Facing Ash charging towards him amidst thunder, his opponent—a three-meter-tall, muscular, and sharply defined crimson figure—shouted loudly and raised his millstone-sized fist, fearlessly meeting Ash's attack head-on.

A million tons of impact force concentrated in that fist.
With just a punch, he tore the air apart with a 'rip' sound!

Compared to this muscular, crimson figure, Ash, enveloped in lightning, was not even as big as his fist.

boom--------

Two fists, one large and one small, clashed head-on, crashing together without holding back.

A violent and domineering power erupted in the fierce conflict! The deafening explosion swept across the icy and snowy land, instantly turning it from a solid state into a gaseous one! A white, billowing wave of air spread out as the soil flew through the air.

Not only was it earth-shattering, but it was also devastating: the outer perimeter of the blasted battlefield trembled violently, and snow and ice fell from the trees in the distance along with the branches and leaves.

It looked exactly like an intercontinental ballistic missile attack, with a small mushroom cloud suddenly rising!

"This can hardly be called a 'trainer'!!"

Kasumi, who flew back with Xiaogang, couldn't help but complain while using the 'Jewel Starfish' fused to her arm to defend against the aftershocks.

Fighting against a physically specialized, extraordinary tiger-level beast would put even a 'fighter' who specializes in hand-to-hand combat to shame: it's not that fighters of the same level can't beat the beast, but rather that this way of fighting, abandoning technique and relying entirely on strength, is unacceptable to any fighter.

After all, the purpose of martial arts is to enable the weak to defeat the strong.

With such a strong physique, a single powerful punch could kill someone, so why bother learning martial arts?
"Hahahaha~~~"

The burst of laughter swept through like a whirlwind, clearing away the snow, earth, and rocks stirred up by the punches.

"happy!"

The imposing, tall figure was covered in a crimson shell, and as it shuddered, the sturdy shell began to writhe.

This is a humanoid rare beast with four legs; its most striking feature is its exaggerated muscles—chest, abs, and biceps. Every muscle exudes explosive power! Just like its name suggests:
Explosive Muscle Mosquito!
That's right, although its muscles are exaggerated to the extreme, this rare beast has a head that looks like a mosquito.

"You are the first human who can rival my strength!"

I acknowledge you as an opponent!

"Hmm, you're not bad either, being able to take so many of my punches."

Ash, determined to become the 'strongest trainer', flashed a bright, enthusiastic smile, revealing his white teeth.

After saying that, he exerted force with both arms and assumed an explosive stance.

"Power, I command you to come forth!"

crackling and popping—

As a series of violent cracking sounds echoed from Ash's body, the lightning binding him grew denser and more violent! His entire body was dyed a chilling silver-white by the lightning, causing even the wide-eyed Brock Igarashi to wonder:
Is his companion really human?

It doesn't look like it at all~~
"Pickup truck,"

"Pikachu, don't go any further!"

"Even if you're not afraid of electric shocks, that muscular mosquito monster's strength—"

Seeing Ash unleash even greater power and continue his frenzied battle with his opponent, Misty quickly reminded the two of the yellow-skinned rats in the snow to step back.

Pshaw, I've already recovered some of my strength.

Pikachu, despite its cute and innocent appearance, harbors inner turmoil.

Under his tutelage, Ash has mastered the 'Lightning Release Chakra Mode', and his strength has soared to the top tier among Tiger-level fighters.

Pikachu, who had been perched on Ash's shoulder all day, secretly absorbing the power of the same source, had also recovered to its peak strength: how could a mere power-type 'Buzzwole' possibly hurt him?

Of course, Pikachu will continue to play the role of 'mascot' until it regains its strength.

"Pikachu~~!"

Waving its little paws, it cheers Ash on.

"Hahahaha~~~ Again, again! Again!!"

Amidst the shockwaves of colliding fists, the excited voice of 'Bursting Muscle Mosquito' could be heard.

Meanwhile, Ash's defiant voice rang out:

"I'm stronger and more domineering than you!"

"I kind of want to go home,"

Such a fierce battle almost shattered Xiaoxia's Dao heart:

She watched with her own eyes how Xiao Zhi transformed from a clueless elementary school student into this state in just a few months.

This is what a true 'genius' looks like, isn't it?

In comparison,

Whether it's Xiaoxia herself, or even her teacher, I'm afraid...

Xiaoxia's 'teacher'
The head of the Kakaiin family: Kakaiin Yura.

At this time, she, who claimed to be in 'seclusion', was:
"Does Your Excellency mean that the demon kings of hell have all mysteriously disappeared?"

In the conference room of the High School of Spellcasting, Director Takeya, who had just arrived, was communicating with Yura, the legendary druid of the 'Dark Demiplane,' through the mirror in Nagisa Ichiyo's hand.

"Yes,"

Yura, playing the role of the 'Legendary Druid', gave a serious answer.

"With the help of the 'Angels of Justice,' we stormed into the Burning Hell, but—"

Besides the countless demons that could not be eradicated, whether it was the three demon gods or the four demon kings, they all vanished without a trace!

"The only possibility is that the demon lords have infiltrated your world."

Just as expected,

Director Zhuya was not surprised.

Instead, it gives a sense of relief, like "the boots have finally landed".

The Demon of Terror, Diavolo, possessed Dolly and instigated her to fight with Tokugawa Shizuka over a man, directly killing Touma Kamijou. Although Touma was resurrected on the spot due to the miraculous power of the "Eye of God," the threat posed by the Demon of Terror was evident.

What's even more troublesome is that the demon god's 'immortality'.

Tianma also admitted that he only destroyed Diablo's spiritual power; as for His soul?

The Supreme Heaven's 'Eternal War,' which has lasted for countless years, has failed to eliminate any demon kings or demon gods; to place such hopes on Pegasus is asking too much of a question.

"May I ask, who are the demon kings who have disappeared?"

Director Takeya, who had collected background information on Diablo games, had already guessed who it was; however, he still pretended to ask.

"It is Azmodan, the 'Lord of Sin,' and Belial, the 'Lord of Lies.'"
