National Destiny: Starting with a gender-swapped role as Artoria

The 177th Purple Celestial God, faintly visible within the clouds!

Sanya City Outskirts

A fully armed soldier jogged into the interior of the central tent.

The advisor was discussing strategy with a middle-aged man in military uniform, adorned with countless stars. When the advisor saw the soldier enter, he immediately asked a question.

"How was it?! Did the plan succeed?!"

The soldier shook his head.

"I'm sorry... whether in the air or at ground level, even the latest armor-piercing rounds could not break through the black crystals. The entire plan has failed without exception."

Upon hearing this, the consultant felt her legs go weak, and after a struggle to regain her balance, she sat down in the chair and began to gasp for breath.

"Then... is it possible to see the internal structure of the black crystal with the current equipment?"

"I'm sorry... even if it's a military-grade infrared thermal imager..."

"Never mind... stop talking... go out..."

The consultant waved his hand.

"Yes."

The soldier ran out of the tent, and the advisor sighed, rubbing his forehead.

The black crystals have surrounded the entire city of Sanya for 790 days now.

Three hours have passed, and we've tried every method available, but without exception, they've all failed...

This is so sudden... so very sudden... What on earth is that thing?! Can it really be made with modern technology?! It wasn't even mentioned in the reward information for the first National Fortune War!

Damn it, is this some kind of magic or something?!

The consultant sighed and prepared to report the situation to his superiors.

But just then!

—Click!—

A crisp, loud crash, like the sound of glass shattering, entered the tent!

The consultant hadn't even realized what was happening yet...

—Click! Click! Click! Click! —

"Something's wrong! An emergency!"

The soldier who had just run out ran back and shouted excitedly!

Everyone immediately ran out of the tent!

Then I froze...

　(bfca) — Click! !!! —

--Bang!--

With a final, deafening roar, all the visible black crystals shattered!

The fragments slowly rose into the air, eventually turning into specks of light and disappearing completely...

Although I really don't want to admit it...

But bathed in the morning sunlight... the consultant actually felt that the current situation had a touch of beauty...

"Holy crap! What's that in the sky?!"

Someone nearby shouted something, and everyone involuntarily looked up at Tian Sheng...

"I go……"

The consultant was completely stunned...

He then saw what could be described as the largest and most bizarrely shaped tree in history!

It's fucking ridiculously big! Over a thousand meters high! It soars into the sky and disappears into the clouds!

The momentum is compelling!

The reason it's so strangely shaped is because there's a large, disc-like area about a few hundred meters long on this tree!

But further up, the view becomes obscured by the clouds.

Everyone stared wide-eyed, and as they slowly looked up, they saw something else...

"Holy crap... a magic circle... that big?!"

Then someone, sounding surprised, said that.

The advisor looked up and saw... in the sky... a blue magic circle with an average area of ​​more than ten kilometers!

It's almost as big as the entire city of Sanya!

Compared to this magic circle, the more than 500 people present were like ants!

Everyone was terrified... though it was only partially visible... its imposing presence was truly formidable...

The advisor was stunned... but upon closer inspection... this magic circle...

"Phew~ So that's how it is..."

During the War of National Destiny, the advisors saw this magic circle; it was the magic circle that Wu Yue summoned when fighting against Pain.

It seems that this magic circle was what unlocked the black crystal that enveloped the entire city of Sanya.

"Magic circle against magic circle, that's definitely how it should be. Sigh, I'm so nervous I've forgotten who Wu Yue is. Quick! Eight people per team, begin entering Sanya City to carry out follow-up work!"

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

The blue magic circle shrank rapidly... and soon disappeared from sight.

Personnel, weapons, and supplies were allocated on-site, and military helicopters were deployed for follow-up operations.

The huge weight that had been hanging over the consultant's heart finally lifted!

He was just about to enter the tent to continue giving orders... but at that moment!

—Boom!—

A deafening roar erupted! It was earth-shattering, like a massive explosion! The advisors instinctively covered their ears!

"Oh no! Oh no! A whirlpool about a kilometer in diameter has appeared over the ocean! And inside the whirlpool is a humanoid behemoth about 500 meters long! The thermal imaging equipment is about to explode!"

A researcher in a white coat with black eyes rushed out of the other tent in a panic.

"You...what did you say..."

The consultant was startled...

Immediately look up in the direction where the magic circle in the sky disappeared.

"Wait a minute! As for giant beasts... we had one too!"

—Boom!—

Another loud noise!

The next second, everyone stopped what they were doing! They stared wide-eyed at the sky...

In the clouds and mist...

They saw a hazy, purple behemoth...

His entire body seemed to merge with the sky... sacred... too beautiful to look at directly...

Like a god...

"That? Is it the purple monster? You mean that one from the TV show a long time ago? The one on Mount Everest?"

The researcher stammered as he spoke.

Chapter 178 The Demon God Descends! A scene resembling the end of the world!

A sign of the impending arrival of a demon god: dark clouds gather!

The sky turned dark purple! A hurricane swept through the air! Thunderclaps flashed continuously!

The complete Susanoo soared thousands of meters above the ground, with two figures floating in the diamond-shaped crystal cup on its forehead.

A beautiful blue-haired goddess, and a man.

The two looked down into the thousand-meter-deep vortex below, at the terrifying golden eye etched with patterns...

Let's turn back time a bit.

--------

Wu Yue released Ge Lixiang's hand, breaking the century-old black magic barrier. Ge Lixiang would no longer become a demon.

"Wu Yue!"

Artoria jogged over and looked at the huge whirlpool in the ocean in the distance.

"It seems that woman succeeded after all, using her own soul as a price to summon a demon god or something."
