From the God of Lies to the Lord of All Worlds

Chapter 300 Exploding Destruction, Sin Beyond Redemption
At that moment, Emperor Naruhito felt that the cabinet was a bunch of useless people!
"Useless, utterly useless!" he shouted, as if such shouting could make him feel a little better, but it was all in vain.

Because on the screen in front of him, the enormous monster was gradually revealing its form.

"Your Majesty, let's leave here first!" Seeing the monster approaching, his subordinates were anxious and hoped he would leave as soon as possible.

Naruhito shook his head. "Has the Crown Prince already left?"

"Yes, His Highness the Crown Prince has already arrived in the four kingdoms!"

"That's good. With him here, our Imperial Family isn't finished yet! But at least today, we can't leave the Imperial Palace!" Naruhito said calmly. "Not only can we not leave, but we also need to have the television crew come and film! To tell all the people that their Emperor hasn't left the Imperial Palace!"

"We're all on the front lines, what reason do they have not to continue fighting for us?"

This is his true intention. Although he is almost becoming a mascot, Naruhito still has the same ideals as Emperor Meiji back then. He wants to truly seize power and have real authority in his hands, instead of being powerless and furious like he is now.

Even if he had such thoughts before, it would have been useless, because the three mountains of the cabinet, America, and the zaibatsu were pressing down on him, making it impossible for him to continue!
However, with the arrival of the extraordinary era, especially the emergence of extraordinary beings in Japan, he keenly sensed an opportunity!

This is truly the best opportunity!

After all, compared to ordinary people, what does it matter that the Imperial Family is small in number and stupid?

Their family holds the greatest legal authority in this country: the Emperor is God!
Yes, in this country's culture, the imperial family is not the sons or agents of any god, but the god himself, so they do not need names, only a simple code name!

In previous eras, this kind of identity had no use whatsoever, and could even be considered insignificant.

However, in today's world, such a status seems particularly special.

No matter who it is, in an era of extraordinary beings, in an era where ancient gods still exist, they all have to think carefully about whether they should have some respect for royalty.
What if the gods return one day and this person complains or something? Wouldn't that be terrible?

However, many others are already wondering if they could try to get a piece of the royal family's ship.
This is the opportunity that Naruhito sees, and this time, it will be a huge gamble for the hopes of the entire royal family!

If he hadn't died during such a great crisis, he could have used his immense prestige to elevate his status back to that of an unbroken imperial line, instead of being a mere puppet!
Even in death, he left his nephew with a tremendous amount of prestige, which should make Hisahito's path much easier in the future!

Therefore, he decisively ordered, "Bring the Three Sacred Treasures from the Imperial Palace. If the Cabinet and the army cannot defend this country, then let me defend it! I will use the life of an Emperor to protect this country!"

He was already prepared to die, so of course he would do whatever was most grand and generated as much discussion as possible!

Whether those in power believe it or not is irrelevant; as long as ordinary people believe it, their families will still have a chance to rise again!
This is the true picture of humanity in an era of extraordinary crisis, reflecting the real lives of everyone!

……

The silence and deathly stillness of the cabinet members contrasted sharply with the screams of people on the street.

People on the street were screaming in terror as they watched the monster, over fifty meters tall, slice through the buildings and walk down the road in a straight line.

The bullets fired by the police and soldiers blocking the road left no mark on the other party, leaving only their panicked cries of "Retreat!"

In this stark contrast, it was the journalists and independent media figures who truly showed no fear. They charged forward amidst the retreat of the crowd and the police!

Whether it's helicopters in the sky, minivans on the ground, or even the audacious crowds who went to the next building to take close-up photos, they all spread the news from here to the international stage.

After all, human courage is limitless, especially in poverty. The first thought of the rich is to leave, while the first thought of these people is to make money!
This is huge news, without a doubt, and it's incredibly sensational: a gigantic, monster-like creature has stormed into Tokyo, one of the world's top three metropolises, and the effect is remarkable.

For example, local companies' stocks fell worldwide in response, many people stopped traveling to Japan, and flights and ferries were suspended as people waited to see how things were going in the city!
Among these self-media personalities, the most active are those who were once invaded by this country, and they are loudly proclaiming something to the screens in front of them:
"Hahaha! Japan has finally met its match! This is truly gratifying!"

"Yes! That's the direction. Their parliament and palace are in this direction. Destroy it! That's it! Even the extraordinary ones can't stand this country. Absolutely right!"

These people are all trapped by their stubbornness on the international stage. They deny the harm they have caused and portray themselves as victims!
This kind of thing is really disgusting for countries that have actually been harmed.

And now, seeing them get their comeuppance is a source of joy for everyone.

But what made them even happier was yet to come!
In the live chat, someone commented: "Hey...did you guys see that? I have a feeling that the direction this monster is heading isn't towards the Imperial Palace or the Cabinet, but rather...the Yasukuni Shrine?"

Upon seeing this comment, everyone's eyes widened in surprise. "Wow, you know what..."

They saw the enormous monster that suddenly changed direction upon arriving in Chiyoda, and a great sense of anticipation welled up within them.

This expectation actually transformed into a real and tangible wish, which came into the hands of Bai Yang, who was remotely controlling this area.

Seeing this aspiration, Bai Yang smiled and nodded. "Indeed, Japan's enemies all over the world are hoping for this to happen. Doesn't that count as following the will of the people?"

This power of will was quite substantial and powerful. It seemed that everyone in the world who was paying attention to this point was watching over it and projecting their own power of will onto Bai Yang, making it a force in his hands.

Meanwhile, Shuten-dōji, atop the giant monster's head, began his actions under everyone's watchful eyes—he spread his arms wide, allowing almost all the cameras to capture his actions, and then, naturally, he directly guided and detonated!
"Boom!" A huge explosion shattered the seemingly beautiful environment, and the plaques that had been enshrined and the buried corpses were all blown away at that moment!
At this moment, some special, transparent figures, still wearing yellow-green military uniforms, slowly appeared in front of everyone!
"These are... the Japanese soldiers from back then?" All the onlookers were stunned. They stared at the blank figures under the yellow-green uniforms, at their faces that had appeared in textbooks, and some of them couldn't help but look ferocious!
"It's this group of people! They're using these war criminals for sacrifice! Their crimes are countless, and everyone knows about their evil deeds!"

But Shuten-dōji clapped his hands happily in front of everyone's cameras, "Good, good, good! How wonderful! The power emanating from you malicious souls is truly intoxicating!"

He suddenly opened his mouth, which originally looked only a little bit big, but in the sky, it opened into a huge mouth like a rift, and began to suck in the soul in front of him.

There was not a breath of wind in this space, but the souls of the war criminals suddenly awoke at this moment and screamed in terror!

"Damn it! Where am I? How did I get here? Damn it! I don't want to be here, I want to go back!"

They roared and grabbed onto anything they could, but they were still sucked up and flown toward that gaping maw!

While Shuten-dōji was absorbing these souls, his demon servant suddenly squatted down, pulled up the shrine's torii gate, and then dug down without hesitation!
This is going to unearth even more ghosts!
