A man among dragons, building a mysterious ancient church.

Chapter 349 Prophecy: Disaster from the Deep Sea
"Master, a dragon with a huge dragon body has been spotted in Shinjuku Ward!" Sakura Yabuki, who also had her own workstation in Genjiro's office, immediately relayed the report to Genjiro after receiving it from Princess Kaguya.

Although Sakura Yabuki didn't understand why Genjiro, who had previously planned to accompany Tachibana Masamune on his final journey at a private hospital, suddenly returned to work, she would do her duty now that he was back.

What is that? A dragon? Appeared in the city center? Or in crowded Shinjuku?

Genjiro stood up excitedly, grabbed the Spider Cutter and the Doji Cutter from beside his desk, and immediately set off to slay the dragon and protect the people of Tokyo: "What's going on? Why is there a dragon in Shinjuku?"

On the sofa in the distance, the crow and the yaksha, who were testing each other's tea-making skills, turned their heads. A dragon with a huge dragon body? Are you kidding me?
With such a dense population in Shinjuku, if a dragon were to wander in, who knows how many people it would trample to death with a single stomp!

"The situation is unclear." Sakura Yabuki gestured to Genji to calm down: "The dragon race has now disappeared and has not caused too much damage, but Princess Kaguya has captured relevant videos through surveillance."

"Several residents also took videos or photos and uploaded them to the internet. After being forwarded many times, they have been detected by Princess Kaguya and are being deleted and blocked by her."

"Disappeared?" Genji stopped in his tracks as he hurriedly stepped outside, his face full of confusion. "Sakura, what do you mean by disappearing?"

Sakura Yabuki nodded slightly: "She appeared suddenly and then disappeared just as suddenly. Princess Kaguya didn't capture any detailed footage. The head of the family can use his privileges to log into Princess Kaguya's server to watch the footage. Princess Kaguya has already placed the surveillance video at the top."

Genji was quite worried, so he didn't put his two swords back down. He sat back in his office chair with the swords still in his hand. Crow and Yaksha hurriedly followed to see, and the three of them crowded together in front of the office computer.

"That's... Takamagahara?" Yasha glanced at the beginning of the video and immediately recognized the shop.

"Takamagahara? The legendary abode of the gods?" The crow remembered that in Japanese mythology, the abode of the gods was called that.

Yuan Zhisheng frowned; the name reminded him of something unpleasant.

According to the history recorded by the Sheqi family, the name Takamagahara was not the abode of the gods, but rather the place where the gods were buried!

The stone tablets inside the Snake-Headed Eight Families are engraved with ancient history. Legend has it that the ancient Emperor Tsukuyomi once used the Word of Annihilation to sink the entire Takamagahara into the deep sea, burying the gods and countless ancestors of the Snake-Headed Eight Families.

In Genjiro's mind, Takamagahara is a taboo that should not reappear in this world!
Yaksha hadn't seen the secret historical stone tablet, but he sensed something was wrong, and his voice lowered considerably: "It's... it's a host club... I heard it's one of the top in the industry."

“O_o?” Genjiro, the crow, and Sakura Yabuki standing behind them all looked completely bewildered.

Takamagahara, is it a host club?

Genji blinked, even more astonished than when he heard about the appearance of a giant dragon in Shinjuku. He found it hard to reconcile the burial site of the gods recorded in his family murals with a host club.

The crow quietly moved to the left, creating some distance between itself and the yaksha.

Despite her seemingly careful movement, Yasha still noticed her at such close range: "Hey! I've never been there, and I certainly don't go looking for male escorts! I've only heard friends mention it a few times!"

"Shut up." Genji gave the order, watching the video intently. As the Yaksha explained, black smoke billowed from Takamagahara in the video, seemingly indicating a fire. A few seconds later, Takamagahara was breached by a dragon, blowing off the roof.

It must have been a being in human form that suddenly transformed into a dragon in Takamagahara! That colossal, gray-white spiritual dragon was revealed to the world!
Its enormous body, moon-obscuring wings, scales covered in strange symbols, and face shrouded in black smoke all speak to the mystery and power of this dragon species.

"This!" Yaksha's pupils dilated to their maximum: "This is truly a dragon species with a huge dragon body! It is even more magnificent and majestic than the dragons of Bello Island! Wait, looking at the patterns, I feel a little dizzy."

Crow broke out in a cold sweat: "If such a being appeared in Shinjuku, any action it takes would displace thousands of people. No, I'm a little dizzy too; there's something wrong with the dragon's markings."

Genji gripped his two swords tightly: "Order Princess Kaguya to immediately delete all videos and images from the internet!"

Then a concrete giant appeared in the video and began to fight with a dragon. Genjiro noticed with his sharp eyes that there was someone on the head of the concrete giant: "Stop! Kaguya-hime, zoom in, zoom in on the giant's head."

Through Kaguya's magnification, they saw Ince standing atop the giants, calmly controlling them to fight the dragons, before finally disappearing.

"Ince Zangwell!" Genji gritted his teeth and uttered the name. He hated this guy who wanted to steal the White King's power so much that his teeth itched, and at the same time he was curious about who the dragon was.

Given that it is hostile to Ince and has a dragon, it is highly likely to be the Old Church.

After all, only the Old Church in the world dares to openly declare its cooperation with the King of the Earth and Mountains, so it's quite normal for it to have a dragon under its command.

Genji took the phone and, while contacting Aso Makoto, asked his secretary, "Sakura, what's the situation on the ground and the public opinion?"

"Don't worry, Master." Sakura Yabuki had just received Kaguya's preliminary statistics: "The site was severely damaged, but thanks to the advance evacuation of Takamagahara, there were no casualties."

"Public opinion is stable because it was discovered in time. The image of the gray dragon has been almost completely deleted by Princess Kaguya. However, various hybrid factions may still be able to see it, and they are gathering in Shinjuku."

Genji sighed inwardly, sensing these were turbulent times. Before he could reflect further, the call connected: "I'm truly sorry to disturb Bishop Aso's rest so late at night, but there's something very important..."

"The gray-white dragon is indeed a member of our church." Aso Makoto received Chen Motong's text message in advance, and without beating around the bush or waiting for Genji to finish his polite words, he stated directly that the gray-white dragon belonged to the church.

So direct? Yuan Zhisheng smiled helplessly. It was indeed the style of the old church: "Bishop Aso, I hope your church can restrain itself. We need to pay attention to public opinion and social stability." Chen Motong briefly described the process in the text message, so Aso was very confident: "We have been very careful and used our abilities in advance to create black smoke to obscure the public's view."

“Aside from the very beginning, the area around Takamagahara was shrouded in black smoke, so not many people saw the dragon.”

Since that's what they've said, and given the extensive cooperation between the Snake Clan and the Tokyo Diocese, what could Genjiro say? He could only raise his hand and rub his temples: "I hope that next time, your church will pay more attention to this aspect."

After hanging up the call, Genji picked up the Spider Cutter and the Doji Cutter again: "Let's go. It's time to go to Shinjuku and entertain all the forces."

Despite this explanation, the three retainers understood that this was out of concern for potential conflicts between various factions. Genji's mission was to suppress the unruly and impulsive mixed-race foreigners who were causing trouble in Shinjuku.

Crow silently prepared his gun and followed in Yuan Zhisheng's footsteps. The patriarch was slowly no longer hiding the secret that the royal bloodline was superior to ordinary hybrids. It seemed that he had truly made up his mind.

Meanwhile, the group in Kassel had returned to their hotel, some recuperating, some resting, and some chatting privately.

It's clear that this encounter left Caesar with a psychological scar; he was no longer as lively as before and quietly returned to his room.

It's estimated that he realized he was too weak to fight Genjiro even when he was at high health, while Chu Zihang was able to hold his own against Genjiro.

On his way back, Lu Mingfei took turns using the Word of Power "Don't Die" on everyone, and now he's in the restaurant downstairs, packing late-night snacks for his senior brothers and sisters.

Fingel activated his secret technique, telepathy: "Unfortunately, the clone king mask fragments we found in the Takamagahara ruins cannot be used for prophecy or divination; they will still be affected by Ince."

During the earlier evacuation, Fingel deliberately claimed to have dropped important alchemical materials, but in reality, he was looking for fragments of the King's Mask, attempting to use the occult connection between the clone and the original to directly divine Herzog's location.

Chen Motong gave Fingel a strange look. Everyone was in the hall, why would they need to use telepathy?

Well, better safe than sorry, Chen Motong comforted Fingel, "It was my oversight. I didn't look carefully enough when investigating Blake Gattuso's memories in the collective subconscious."

"If I had searched more carefully back then, I might have found Herzog's hiding place."

“Nono, you’ve done enough.” Susie hoped her best friend wouldn’t feel so much pressure: “You also said that when Odin suddenly appeared, no one could have carefully reviewed their memories in that situation.”

Chu Zihang glanced at Susie and, unusually, took the initiative to change the subject: "Why do you think Ince, who hid away after his first appearance, suddenly appeared in Takamagahara tonight?"

Fingel looked at his cold-faced junior brother with amusement and curiosity: "Nono has seen Genjiro's memories and told us that Genjiro and Ince have reached an agreement."

"Ince's appearance this time was probably to find Genji to discuss some details of the plan. However, I did not expect that Genji was tracking and monitoring the King's clone."

Chu Zihang ignored Fingel's teasing look and continued to press for answers: "So, General, what brings you to Takamagahara?"

"They're coming for us?" Fingel reacted quickly. Tonight, Takamagahara was booked out by Caesar. Putting aside the ordinary female customers, the King, or rather Herzog behind him, didn't seem to be a female customer at all.

So, the only reason they came to the host club is because of Kassel.

"That doesn't make sense either." Fingel was starting to get a headache from this analysis: "Shouldn't Herzog be focused on Ince right now? Does he have time to worry about us?"

Chen Motong also joined in the speculation: "Maybe it's not just us? Many mixed-bloods have come from various forces. When I was exploring the collective subconscious sea, I saw several familiar faces from Bellow Island."

"Perhaps Herzog has some other plan, using the advantage of mass-producing clones to keep an eye on all hybrid factions? Or at least the larger ones?"

Reminded by Chen Motong's guess, Susie had a flash of inspiration: "That's right, assuming Herzog is plotting something again, there will probably be a big disturbance. Senior Brother Fingel, why don't you just predict the whole of Tokyo!"

"Even ordinary prophecies and divinations are interfered with by Herzog, so it should be difficult to interfere with prophecies about the entire Tokyo metropolis, right?"

Fingel was startled. He had been sitting on the sofa, but now he jumped up: "Nono, Susie, you two have really woken me up!"

“Prophecies and divinations targeting a specific person or event are easily interfered with, but when it comes to all aspects of an entire city, especially a large international metropolis like Tokyo, there are far too many places where prophecies and divinations can be performed, making it impossible to interfere!”

An excited Fingel said a few words, turned off the secret technique of telepathy, closed his eyes, and immersed himself in the mystical realm of destiny, attempting to make a prophecy about the entire city of Tokyo.

Chen Motong decided to keep an eye on both inside and outside the door to avoid Caesar/Lu Mingfei suddenly coming to the hall and disturbing Fingel.

Twenty minutes later, Lu Mingfei came upstairs with a lunchbox in both hands, only to be sent away by Chen Motong through the door with a text message saying "I want to drink milk tea," so he went to run an errand to buy milk tea.

Forty minutes later, Fingel opened his eyes, his forehead sweating and his face flushed: "Digestion, the Prophet's Potion has been digested a lot."

"But at the same time, I also see that there will be disasters in Tokyo Bay, disasters from the deep sea, surging up from Tokyo Bay. If this is not stopped, the entire Tokyo metropolis will become a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood!"
