From the God of Lies to the Lord of All Worlds

Chapter 306 US Base in Tokyo, Complete Annihilation

All eyes were drawn to this area, to the enormous monster, the terrifying ghost king, and the man before them.

Upon hearing this, Abe no Seimei slowly floated up and came to Shuten-dōji, and also to everyone in the world!
As I said before, there are no real secrets in modern society.

Photos of golden retrievers at meetings are taken, and there's a constant stream of news at the European Parliament, not to mention the large crowds!
As long as the submarine fiber optic cable remains intact, information will be transmitted from here to the whole world.

Therefore, the emergence of Abe no Seimei was actually a signal, a signal of the re-establishment of classical Japanese society!

This stirred the hearts of many in the cabinet, after all, this was a truly powerful figure who had dealt with many demon kings and orchestrated many major crises.

Does their arrival mean that their crisis is over?
But they forgot that the biggest pattern of classical Japanese society was the coexistence of multiple states and the prevalence of villages!
If such a classical person were truly placed in a high position, would ambitious individuals simply wait quietly for things to end? Or...?

Just as this thought flashed through his mind, Abe no Seimei's voice rang out, "It has indeed been a long time, Shuten-dōji... At the beginning, I was busy dealing with matters in Heian-kyō and was unable to see you one last time. It's truly a pity!"

"Abe no Seimei... I regret that I didn't kill you, the famous Onmyoji..." Shuten-dōji said in a low voice, with a cruel scrutiny.

“However, I’ve brought the things that were the last things I saw you with!” Abe no Seimei smiled.

Following his gaze, Shuten-dōji saw the sword in Genji's hand, and also saw the other's face!

"This face...this countenance...I will never forget it, it's him! Minamoto no Yorimitsu!" His roar echoed throughout the world almost instantly!
"Yes, this is the descendant of Minamoto no Yorimitsu!" Abe no Seimei said with a smile. "The sword in his hand is called Dojigiri Yasutsuna!"

"Dojigiri Yasutsuna?" The people at the Tokyo Museum thought of this, but they didn't even have the opportunity to see it, because they had already gone far away!

Upon hearing this name, Shuten-dōji was truly enraged. He roared, "Name this sword after me? You dare?"

“Not only did you dare, you actually did it!” Abe no Seimei said calmly. “Now, this sword will once again sever your head!”

"Again? With that? Hahahaha!" Shuten-dōji laughed loudly, then raised his hand, and the empty maw suddenly fell, swallowing Genji whole. "Now, your reliance is gone!"

The onlookers were shocked to see the man being swallowed; the action was too decisive and too direct!
Abe no Seimei said calmly, “Minamoto no Yorimitsu is right, you are too easily fooled! Minamoto no Kenji, once you are inside Shuten-dōji’s stomach, use the Command Seals I gave you to stabilize your body, and then use Dōjigiri Yasutsuna to kill the demons he devoured!”

"All ghosts are targets you must kill!"

Upon hearing this, Shuten-dōji realized he had been tricked. What he had swallowed was not his opponent's trump card, but his own death warrant!

"You...you actually dared to do this?" Shuten-dōji was furious. "I will digest him, and everything in the entire city along with him!"

He truly hadn't expected that this man could have predicted his attack method so accurately? Did he know he would swallow someone whole and was waiting for him here?
"I'm going to kill you, to make you disappear from this world completely!"

Faced with the situation set up by Abe no Seimei, the originally handsome and elegant Shuten-dōji has now become extremely distorted, his body has begun to subtly deform, and his monstrous form is slowly being guided out!
Upon hearing this, Abe no Seimei shook his head. "You are still so foolish, short-sighted, and arrogant. No wonder you died before Tamamo-no-Mae. There wasn't even a ritual or killing formation to deal with you. Not even the old fogies of the Rinzai and Zen sects were mobilized..."

"We've never been on the same path, Shuten-dōji. You're far inferior to Tamamo-no-Mae and Ōtakemaru!"

"You only know how to kill, but you never know where your strengths lie, just like these war ghosts. If you knew where these ghosts came from, would you still dare to be so arrogant?"

Abe no Seimei was the one who truly admired Shuten-dōji, after all, the crimes committed by the war criminals here came from that terrible country next door.

Although much decay occurred during the period when the gods were forbidden, all decay has now vanished, and it remains a colossal entity. Therefore, Abe no Seimei had no doubt that if the other party were to come and settle accounts, seeing Shuten-dōji devour so many souls, they would find it very convenient, and might even strike down a bolt of lightning, killing the demons and their souls together!
This is certainly not good, because the other party will not show any mercy to the other people in the city. If it is a hot-tempered one, such as a god of the level of the Three Altars Sea God, he might just chop down the whole city.

Therefore, he decided to do it himself.

And so, with everyone watching, the great Onmyoji slowly opened his arms, "Six Harmonies Condensed Abyss - Star Corpse Burial Demon!"

Upon hearing this, Shuten-dōji laughed, "You hypocrite! The Six Directions Condensing Abyss Formation requires the lives of a hundred people just to activate! How is your approach any better than mine?"

Upon hearing this, all the onlookers were stunned. A hundred lives? Is this...right?

Abe no Seimei smiled, "We can just go somewhere else! There's a place that's perfect for the two of us!"

The next second, the giant monster was still in the same place, but Shuten-dōji and Abe no Seimei had disappeared.

The cabinet members hurriedly checked other information sources to see where it was, but found nothing.

"Did they disappear? Or did they leave Tokyo?" someone asked curiously. A hundred lives!
This is no joke; it's a live broadcast to the whole world. It's not a secret sacrifice that can't be suppressed. What will the world think of them?
"Where could they have gone?" Everyone was deep in thought. There were no images from any sources. Had the two of them simply disappeared?

"There's absolutely no information from anywhere in Tokyo!"

"Did they leave?"

Only the left-wing senator said coldly, "Actually, Tokyo isn't entirely under our control. At least I know of one place that we can't see!"

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent. Of course, they knew what the congressman meant by "the unseen place"—a topic that couldn't be mentioned at all. It was America's military presence in Tokyo, a powerful hand from that country that held a heavy hand over their throats!
"Then let's watch! At a time like this, if we don't watch, are we really going to wait to die?" Shi Mao shouted. "At least Lord Seimei is one of ours, a superhuman belonging to Japan, not someone from another country..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the drone's camera panned over, and their intelligence report came through: "Yes, Your Excellency, the two of them are currently at America's military base in Tokyo!"

What appears in the picture is the US military base that appears in almost everyone's nightmares. That incredibly powerful base is home to tens of thousands of soldiers, a force that could seize the capital of their country at any time!

This place houses the headquarters of the U.S. Forces Japan and the 5th Air Force of America, with various military personnel, the most numerous of whom are air force personnel, as well as various fighter jets. Many fighter jets and bombers took off from here back then!
Now, the shape of the air force base is no longer visible. What can be seen are the messy runways and the surrounding buildings that have lost much of their original shape.

Meanwhile, the Onmyoji and Shuten-dōji were still facing off in the square, with a pile of corpses of American soldiers who looked like they had just died beside them!

"I'll kill them all, then let's see how you'll use them for sacrifices!" Of course, Shuten-dōji didn't say this, but his actions already revealed that.

Abe no Seimei, who had been calm before, looked serious. Beside him, a special "shikigami" was floating, seemingly an assistant he had brought in!

"This base has now been destroyed!" The commentary in the background is from an observer.

The moment those words were spoken, everyone's words and smiles froze. Although they had so much resentment towards America, she was, after all, their "father." And now that she had been destroyed on their land, what could they do?
If the Golden Retriever knew, how would it view them?

This is a disaster brought about by their own superhumans! Aren't they doomed?
But many people suddenly realized, wait a minute! They have superhumans!
Before the superhumans arrived, they were afraid of the US reaction. Now that the superhumans have arrived, they are still afraid of the US reaction. Then what was the point of the superhumans coming?
How can this not be considered a win?
