Generally speaking, just as the tank commander thought, a crab, when placed to roughly the size of a tank, would be crushed by its own weight and remain motionless on the ground. However, the creatures born from the gastrula virus essentially defy the physics of this world. They can exert the abilities they possess at their original size, and their abilities are amplified proportionally as their size increases.

Just like this giant crab tearing apart a tank, its enlarged size not only doesn't reduce its movement speed, but also increases its strength and the hardness of its shell, making it virtually impossible to harm it with small-caliber weapons.

After the giant crab tore the tank apart like opening a can, it devoured the drivers one by one, just like eating canned food. However, the giant crab was still not satisfied with this. But at this moment, a huge spear accompanied by lightning struck, turning the giant crab into an electric roasting crab.

The culprit behind all this was Yohaka, who was standing on a high street lamp with an "OwO~" expression.

P.S.: See you next year! OwO~

Volume 1 [Lazy to Divide into Chapters]: Chapter 1395 [Zelus: Oh no, we're doomed.]

After Yhaka dealt with the giant crab, he also pulled Baladion off its body. Yhaka then flew high into the sky to search for the next Gastrea.

Meanwhile, on the rooftop of a high-rise building, Kurumi Tokisaki and Nia Honjou are using the Whispering Manual and a map of the Tokyo area to locate the Gastrea in the Tokyo region.

“Miss Tina, there’s a flying Gastrea about 500 meters to your northeast. Shoot it down and don’t let it get away.”

“Miss Elodie, there is a Gastrea lurking in a building to your right. Take care of it. There are several residents inside infected with the Gastrea virus. Have Miss Medea treat them to prevent them from becoming new sources of infection.”

"You, Yu-chan—well, okay, it seems you've already taken care of the other one. Now, let's take care of the next one."

As she watched the Gastrea on the Whispering Scroll disappear one by one, Nia Honjou breathed a sigh of relief and said:

"Phew, thank goodness your clone was guarding the Tokyo area, otherwise we might have found out that the Tokyo area had become a paradise for Gastrea after lunch."

Tokisaki Kurumi shook her head in denial of Nia Honjou's words, saying:

"That's impossible. With the way Gastrea spreads through bodily fluids, it's basically impossible for it to spread rapidly throughout the Tokyo area within a few hours. After all, Gastrea's main purpose is to hunt prey, and spreading Gastrea virus is secondary. Unless a very intelligent and capable Gastrea emerges, they won't realize this problem."

Upon hearing Kurumi Tokisaki's words, Nia Honjou glanced at the Gastrea on the Whispering Tome and said:

"Indeed, compared to those more intelligent creatures, the others are just large beasts with extremely strong regenerative abilities. Speaking of which, the Self-Defense Forces of this world seem so weak. If it's just ordinary Gastrea, then with a large number of explosives at the beginning, it shouldn't be a problem to take care of those Stage I Gastrea, right?"

Regarding Nia Honjou's question, Kurumi Tokisaki explained to the other party:

"Miss Nia, you already know the answer to this question, right? It's probably because the Japanese cabinet prohibits the military from using explosives. After all, using explosives in a crowd would negatively impact the performance records of the politicians in the cabinet, right? But their performance records aren't good right now either."

Just as Kurumi Tokisaki said, the performance of those cabinet politicians was also quite poor. After all, because of their obstruction of the military's use of explosives, the military lacked firepower to suppress the Gastrea. Without the restraint of chromium, those Gastrea in their first stage were as excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood, and they wiped out the Self-Defense Forces. Some of the Self-Defense Forces even turned into Gastrea, which led to the expansion of this crisis.

When the politicians in the cabinet saw the Gastrea infection situation expanding, they immediately became anxious and ordered the Self-Defense Forces to take action with a large number of firepower weapons. However, due to the spread of the infection, the Self-Defense Forces' existing ground firepower was basically ineffective in the city. In addition, there were still residents in the city who had not been evacuated, so the Self-Defense Forces dared not use artillery to bombard the city.

However, if anything happens, the politicians in the cabinet will definitely use the military as a scapegoat, and the military will not take any rash actions in response.

However, such a military operation must have alerted the American troops stationed in Japan. As a result, American drones conducted reconnaissance over the Tokyo area. The American drones were also completely bewildered when they spotted the Gastrea. After all, the appearance of Stage I Gastrea is basically not much different from that of ordinary creatures on Earth. The only difference is probably their huge size and red eyes.

Nia Honjou, watching the drone fly by, asked Kurumi Tokisaki:

"Speaking of which, Little Madman, what should we do with those Self-Defense Forces?"

Regarding this issue, Kurumi Tokisaki also discussed it with Nia Honjo:

"If they don't get in our way, we can ignore them. But if they try to attack or interfere with us, we can deal with them."

As she spoke, Kurumi Tokisaki gave Nia Honjou a villainous smile and said:

"Of course, leave these things to me. I've already killed so many humans, I don't mind taking a few more lives. Besides, it's a good option to collect some time."

Nia Honjou was taken aback when she saw Kurumi Tokisaki's expression. Then, remembering Kurumi's true nature, she sighed helplessly and looked at Kurumi, saying:

"Hey... Little Kuang Kuang, don't take on all these things yourself. You should discuss it with Xiao Youyou and the others. If it really doesn't work, I can help. Although my Whispering Scripture doesn't have direct lethality, it's still enough to deal with some people."

Kurumi Tokisaki paused slightly after hearing Nia Honjou's words, then nodded with a smile and said:

"If that's the case, then I'll gladly accept your offer, Miss Nia."

Just as Tokisaki Kurumi and Honjou Nia reached an agreement, Yuhaka encountered a small problem.

On a street in the Tokyo area, a group of American soldiers were looking at Yuhaka with tense expressions. Originally, these American soldiers were sent by their superiors to capture those giant creatures. Of course, if they couldn't capture them, getting samples of those giant creatures would be quite good.

But just as these American soldiers were about to capture a giant toad-like creature, Yuhaka descended from the sky and cleaved the giant toad in two with his flaming sword, also splitting the road in two.

The American soldiers who witnessed this scene were also startled by Yhaka, but fortunately they did not open fire, otherwise they would have been cleaved in two by Yhaka just like that Gastrea.

"OwO?"

Just as Yuhaka had cleaved the Gastrea in two, he noticed the terrified American soldiers standing nearby looking puzzled. After all, Yuhaka hadn't expected to see soldiers from other countries here, but he didn't pay them much attention.

However, while Yuhaka didn't care about the American soldiers, it didn't mean that the American military leadership didn't care about him. The fact that Yuhaka easily killed the Gastrea made them very interested, since the Gastrea had shown enough strength to give the Japanese Self-Defense Forces a good beating, so their strength couldn't be too weak.

The emergence of a powerful creature, Yuhaka, even stronger than those large creatures, has greatly excited the upper echelons of the American military. If they could control such power, wouldn't their status as the world's number one power be even more secure?

Thinking of this, the American military leadership was immediately smug, and so they issued the most wrong order: they told the American soldiers to change their target from Gastrea to Yuhaka.

Upon hearing the order from their superiors, the American soldiers looked puzzled, but due to the order, they couldn't help but turn their attention to Yuhaka. Compared to those huge and terrifying Gastrea, Yuhaka seemed easier to deal with.

Soon, following the command of their captain, the American soldiers surrounded Yuhaka and shouted at him:

"Hey kid over there! Don't move!"

Upon hearing the American soldiers' words, Yuhaka tilted his head and looked at them. However, Yuhaka was not interested in their orders and turned to leave. Seeing this, the American soldiers became anxious and pulled the trigger of the grenade launcher equipped with a capture net.

Volume 1 [Lazy Chapters]: Chapter 1396 [Youyou: Da da da OwO (←pointing to gunshot)]

With a "bang," the grenade launcher fired its capture net, which then swept towards Yhaka. However, this was far too slow for Yhaka. Before he even heard the grenade launcher, Yhaka sensed something flying towards him.

Yuhaka took a large step to the right to avoid the massive capture net. Looking at the empty net, Yuhaka had an "OwO?" expression on his face, seemingly puzzled as he stared at the net on the ground. Why would these seemingly idiots want to use this thing to capture him?

It's worth noting that in the world of Monster Hunter, player hunters also tried to use the Slinger to launch a capture net to catch Eohaka, specifically in Eohaka's third form, since Eohaka's movement pattern in its third form is basically like a large cat.

It sits cross-legged with its tail curled up like a cat, chases its own tail in circles like a cat, scratches itself with its hind paws like a cat, and plays with its prey with its front paws like a cat.

This has led many cat-loving players to try to catch Ehaka. Of course, this is basically impossible, because Ehaka can detect traps, and traps are generally ineffective for Ehaka, which is of average size. Of course, Ehaka can also resist the effects of those traps.

So the hunter players could only use their projectiles to launch capture nets to vent their frustration at not being able to capture Yhwach. Yhwach looked at the hunter players with an expression as if they were idiots, and then slapped those idiot players into a pancake. Although the capture nets didn't do any damage, it didn't mean that Yhwach was stupid and didn't know what the hunter players were trying to do.

With the idea that he couldn't kill the opponent, Yuhaka sent all the hunter players onto the cat rescue team's cart, causing the cat rescue team a lot of trouble while also earning them a decent salary.

However, these American soldiers didn't have any cats to help them get back home in handcarts.

The squad leader of the American soldiers was also dumbfounded when he saw this scene, because in their eyes, Yuhaka dodged the flying capture net at an extremely fast speed. Then they quickly launched the capture net again to try to capture Yuhaka. They thought that with so many capture nets, it was impossible for the other party to dodge.

But to their utter surprise, Yuhaka not only failed to dodge, but also burned the flying capture nets with a single slash.

The American soldiers were dumbfounded when they saw this. They hadn't expected that Yuhaka could burn several capture nets in one go. Even with a flamethrower, it would be impossible to burn such sturdy capture nets to ashes in one go!

Amidst the falling ashes of flames, Yuhaka, with his eyes gleaming red and wielding a flaming blade, exuded an indescribable oppressive aura, standing before them like a apex predator.

This caused one of the American soldiers to accidentally pull the trigger, and the gun went off immediately. Upon hearing the gunfire, the other American soldiers instinctively pulled their triggers and opened fire on Yuhaka. In an instant, gunfire erupted like dominoes on the American soldiers' side. The only one who didn't fire was the American squad leader. He had just heard the gunfire and thought they were under attack, but the gunfire was from his familiar assault rifle, indicating that someone on their side had accidentally discharged their weapon.

Before the American soldier squad leader could even order his teammates to cease fire, he was stunned by what he saw. In his field of vision, Yuhaka was merely extending a small hand, and all the bullets aimed at Yuhaka seemed to be fixed in mid-air, completely motionless.

"Black O Empire???"

One of the American soldiers who witnessed this scene couldn't help but show a shocked expression as he watched. After the American soldiers ran out of ammunition in their assault rifles within seconds, they stared in astonishment at what they had just seen. When Yuhaka saw that the enemy had run out of ammunition, he retaliated by pulling out his weapon, which resembled the original Steel Dragon Heavy Crossbow, and aimed it at the American soldiers in the distance.

"Da da da~ OwO~"

Yuhaka, shouting "Da da da!", pulled the trigger before they could react. Instantly, the muzzle flash formed by the radiance of the gun sprayed out a large amount of radiance attack towards the American soldiers. The American soldiers who were hit shook up as if they had been shot, and their clothes and equipment exploded like a shower of flowers.

If someone else saw this scene of a muscular man's clothes being torn off, they would probably exclaim that it was an eyesore.

After Yuhaka finished his sweeping attack, all the American soldiers, who were only wearing their underwear, lay unconscious on the ground. After seeing his victory, Yuhaka looked at the motionless American soldiers on the ground with a smug expression, said "idiots," and flew away.

The news of American soldiers running naked in the streets came later.

.................................................. ...............

After Yuhka finished dealing with the Gastrea, he heard the report from Kurumi Tokisaki while flying in mid-air and said:

"Yuyu-chan, can we go to the waters near Fukushima? There are Gastrea going there."

Hearing Kurumi Tokisaki's words, Yuhaka looked around with a puzzled expression, as if he were looking at a place called Fukushima. Just as Kurumi was about to give Yuhaka the coordinates, she suddenly froze, which made Yuhaka look a little confused and say:

"What's wrong, San San OwO?"

Soon after, a slightly puzzled voice came from Tokisaki Kurumi's side:

"Well... how should I put it, the Gastrea that somehow got to Fukushima have all died."

Upon hearing Kurumi Tokisaki's words, Yuhaka also showed a puzzled expression, clearly not understanding what was going on. However, Kurumi Tokisaki explained that not long ago, Nia Honjou used her Whispering Scroll to investigate and discovered that the Gastrea that had run into the Fukushima waters had died for some unknown reason. Nia Honjou also used the Whispering Scroll to investigate and found that the Gastrea died from high temperatures and radiation. This puzzled both Nia Honjou and Kurumi Tokisaki.

It's unclear what caused the Gastrea's death from the high temperature, but Nia Honjou is certain that the Gastrea's body has disappeared. At least they no longer need to worry about the Gastrea virus flowing into the ocean. As for the Gastrea's cause of death, Nia Honjou thinks it might have encountered an underwater volcanic eruption.

However, Nia Honjo and Kurumi Tokisaki believe that the reason why the other party died in the underwater volcano may be related to radiation. Although gastroenteritis is a virus with strong vitality, it cannot survive under the influence of high temperature of several hundred degrees and nuclear radiation.

"OwO?"

Hearing what Kurumi Tokisaki and the others said, Yuhaka looked puzzled, clearly not understanding what they were talking about. However, before Kurumi and the others could say anything, Yuhaka went to find the next Gastrea.

After about twenty minutes, all the Gastrea in the Tokyo area were dealt with. At the same time, the whole Tokyo area learned about the Gastrea and Yuhaka and the others, and the neighboring countries also learned about it.

Although the Gastrea outbreak has not spread over a large area, it has occurred in urban areas, and many people have been attacked by them. Hundreds of people have already died from Gastrea attacks. If Yuhaka and her team had not arrived in time, the death toll would have risen to a terrifying number.

At the same time, Japan could no longer keep the matter of the dimensional invasion a secret.

Volume 1 [Lazy to Divide into Chapters]: Chapter 1397 [The Gastrea Virus Incident Has Temporarily Come to an End]

After Yuhka and the others finished dealing with the Gastrea, they left the Tokyo area. Of course, the Japanese military tried to stop them, but Kurumi Tokisaki's Shadow Dimension could take everyone away, so the Japanese military could basically forget about stopping them.

Meanwhile, the Dimensional Transcendence Investigation Agency in Japan originally wanted to contact Yuhaka and her group, but they didn't expect them to run away so quickly. This led the agency to suspect that the Japanese military's inappropriate wording had angered Yuhaka and her group, causing them to leave.

Indeed, that was the case. After all, the Japanese military used language that sounded like they were calling terrorists, telling Yuhaka and the others to stay put and not move, otherwise they would take necessary measures. But who were Yuhaka and the others? Naturally, they wouldn't pay any attention to the Japanese military. After Tokisaki Kurumi used her shadow space to take the others away, she left the dumbfounded Japanese military personnel standing there watching Yuhaka and the others disappear into the shadows.

They probably didn't expect the other party to ignore them completely and leave.

Faced with the accusations from the dimensional travel investigation agency, the Japanese military was speechless, which put them in an awkward position. First, the Gastrea had failed to control the situation, and now they had even persuaded Yuhaka and her team, who were tasked with eliminating the Gastrea and rescuing people, to retreat. This put the Japanese military in a very embarrassing situation.

There was nothing they could do but bow and apologize. They had already bowed and apologized, so they couldn't continue to be blamed, could they?

At the same time, Emiya Mumei also saw the scene of Yhaka and the others dealing with the Gastrea. He originally wanted to deal with those Gastrea as well, but Yhaka and the others dealt with them at an extremely fast speed, which surprised Emiya Mumei. He saw the Heroic Spirits in Yhaka and the others' camp.

Could it be that the Counter Force sent someone else into this world besides myself?

That is a problem, but since Yuhaka and the others have dealt with those Gastrea, he doesn't need to take action anymore. Of course, it's not that he doesn't want to take action, but Kiritsugu Emiya won't let him, because if they expose their position, they'll easily attract flies.

They can't afford to mess with either the Japanese military or the American CIA. Although Artoria and Emiya Mumei can easily deal with them, Irisviel and the others can't, since it would be very difficult to defend against if they wanted to snipe them from a distance.

Hearing his adoptive father's words, Emiya Mumei could understand. After all, Emiya Mumei had dealt with those people quite a bit, and they were indeed quite difficult to guard against. If they knew their whereabouts, they would probably chase after them like wild dogs that smelled blood.

While magic has a strong effect on ordinary people, it's different for machines. Magic often can't affect machines, a point that Kiritsugu Emiya is well aware of. After all, as the most notorious magician killer, Kiritsugu Emiya has defeated many magicians using human technology, and those magicians all died because they were unfamiliar with human technology.

For example, the combination of the bat familiar and the surveillance camera used by Kiritsugu Emiya in the Fourth Holy Grail War. The surveillance camera can see through many types of illusion magic and avoid most magic interference. The only drawback is that it is too obvious and can be easily detected by humans and Heroic Spirits.

Emiya Wuming couldn't do anything about Kiritsugu Emiya's concerns. Fortunately, while Yuhaka and the others successfully dealt with the Gastrea, they also cured the residents infected with the Gastrea virus, saving Emiya Wuming the trouble of shooting the infected.

"It seems this world isn't so peaceful after all..."

Helpless, Emiya Mumei looked up at the sky before transforming into a spirit and disappearing from the top of the skyscraper.
