Chapter 407 Yamata no Orochi

A deafening roar echoed in the minds of all living things in the Kanto Plain—the "earth's roar" of an earthquake, like rumbling thunder.

The earth's crust trembled under the influence of the great force, and the seismic waves burst out and spread outward from Yamanashi Prefecture.

A massive earthquake struck, affecting the entire Kanto Plain. The clouds in the sky seemed to grow even thicker, with dark, thick clouds like pythons spitting out white lightning, as if they were about to tear the entire sky apart and then crash down.

It was like the sky had fallen and the earth had collapsed.

Tokyo, known as a city that never sleeps, was plunged into darkness after the powerful earthquake that lasted one minute and thirty-seven seconds.

"Damn it, is there a power outage?"

All the hybrids at Genji Heavy Industries ignited their golden eyes.

Logically speaking, an earthquake of magnitude 8 or below could not possibly cause such a large-scale power outage. As the capital of Japan, Tokyo has one of the best power maintenance systems in the world, not to mention the Genji Heavy Industries building's own dedicated generator set.

Five seconds later, Princess Kaguya activated the emergency protocol, the backup power supply began to switch power, and the emergency lights turned on, but most of the devices still could not be turned on.

"Damn it, did someone throw away an EP?" Caesar couldn't help but curse, raised his hand and pulled the trigger, accurately blowing a Deadpool's head off. Fortunately, most of the equipment produced by the Equipment Department had electromagnetic protection, otherwise they would be blind right now.

"No, it's a high-energy particle stream brought by a geomagnetic storm, which often occurs during earthquakes and is similar to an electromagnetic pulse." Chu Zihang lowered his gun. "The Deadpool group is retreating; something big must have happened."

"How did all these things get away?" Uesugi Koshi wanted to cut down all the dragon-shaped dead servants, but he didn't have wings, so he could only stand by the window and stomp his feet.

If these dozens of dragon-shaped dead servants were to escape, who knows how many more casualties they would cause? But the Self-Defense Forces' helicopters have already gone to support the Prime Minister's official residence.

"Attention all personnel, unusual activity detected at the Yamanashi Prefecture Combat Readiness Center. All personnel are on Level 1 combat readiness." Principal Angers' voice finally came through the communication channel. He had actually been in Tokyo the whole time and was now on a helicopter heading to Yamanashi Prefecture.

"Norma detected a sudden surge of super-high-level energy from the Red Demon River. The gods may have sensed the danger and hatched prematurely. Professor Schneider has already set up a frontline position in Yamanashi Prefecture, but everyone must still be prepared for urban warfare."

"Damn it, the god has actually awakened." Uesugi Etsu's expression changed drastically upon seeing this. No wonder he felt that strange sound was so chilling. The retreat of the Dead Servants also made perfect sense. They were following the instinct of their dragon blood to pay homage.

Thinking of this, Uesugi Yue immediately contacted Angers. Kassel College had promised that once God awoke, they would immediately send him and Erii to the other side of the ocean.

"It might be too late." Angers' voice was a little hoarse: "Haven't you realized yet? The entire Tokyo is blocked by torrential rain, and Norma has detected that a cyclone of nearly level 10 is forming. By the time you get to the airport, none of you will be able to take off."

"Damn Angers, you tricked me again!" Uesugi Kotsushi cursed angrily.

"No one could have predicted that its premature awakening would grant it such immense power. We miscalculated." Angers sighed. "If we fail to stop it here, it will definitely head to Tokyo. Take Erii into the underground Iron Dome system immediately and protect your daughter before it overturns the entire floor of Tokyo."

"Daughter?" Uesugi Koshi was taken aback. Not a grandchild?

"We have found out that during World War II, the Japanese sent your sperm to Germany in exchange for military support. Later, Berlin was captured by the Soviet Union, who intercepted it and used genetic technology to create three embryos. These embryos were stolen from the Soviet Union by Tachibana Masamune and brought to Japan. So they are your children."

"You're not trying to fool me again, are you?"

"Get lost, believe it or not, I don't have time to talk nonsense with you right now." Angers hung up the phone.

"Hmph, what a mess." Uesugi Kotsushi grumbled, but a smile eventually appeared on his face. It turned out that there were no unfilial sons or daughters; they were all his own children.

In the Tama River mountain area of ​​Yamanashi Prefecture, the Tama River has turned into a raging flash flood due to torrential rains, carrying large amounts of rocks and mud into the downstream plains. However, this flash flood is completely different from previous years. The turbid water is not yellowish-brown, but has a blood-red hue.

Just like Susanoo in mythology slaying the Yamata no Orochi and turning the entire mountain area into crimson earth.

The Yamanashi Prefectural Geological Research Institute has been temporarily requisitioned as a preparation center.

"According to the weather bureau, in the past half hour, Yamanashi Prefecture received 150 millimeters of rainfall, and the wind is increasing to force 12," Manstein reported quickly. "Damn it, are we really facing the king of the ocean and water?"

"No, the situation is worse than that. The legendary High Priest of the Dragon Clan can lead a third of the dragons in rebellion. In the era of two kings, his rank far surpasses that of the four monarchs." Schneider stared intently at the earthquake monitoring sensor data.

They can only determine the movement of the enormous creature in the underground river based on sensor information.

With an underground waterway stretching for tens of kilometers, they had no way of knowing where the other would emerge from the ground and descend upon the world.

The armed forces were simply unable to deploy their full firepower for interception; they could only make continuous adjustments based on the data.

Suddenly, another earth-shaking tremor occurred.

"Damn it, is he planning to use an earthquake to break through the earth and emerge from the ground?" Manstein gripped the table to steady himself.

Although it was a shallow earthquake, the distance to Mount Fuji is far too close. Mount Fuji is an active volcano and has long been in an active eruption period, and could erupt at any time. This situation is like adding insult to injury.

"No, if it really wanted Mount Fuji to erupt, then the earthquake just now wouldn't have been magnitude 7, but magnitude 9." The door to the operations department was opened, and wind and rain rushed in instantly. The person who came in was Angers, who had just gotten off the plane: "It's just confirming the geological changes over the years, just like our previous earthquake exploration blasting."

"It's looking for weak points in the strata, isn't it?" Manstein's eyes lit up. "Then we can ambush it in advance, plant bombs, blow it back, and then drop a nuclear bomb to finish it off."

“No, with its power, it could dig through 300 meters of soil in less than a day.” Angers shook his head. “Besides, it doesn’t need to.”

"According to the Imperial Annals as described by the Snake-Headed Eight Families, ten thousand years ago, Izanagi sealed the sacred remains of the White King in the Well of Remains, but in his later years, he dug them out himself. After that, Susanoo was sealed in the same way, and then dug out again. He has been sealed in Takamagahara deep in the Japan Trench ever since. If this place is truly an inescapable cage, how could it possibly return on its own?"

"Principal, what do you mean?" Schneider suddenly widened his eyes.

"Don't forget that the current Mount Fuji was also formed 10,000 years ago. The 'Sea of ​​Flames' doesn't necessarily refer to hot water, but rather to magma." Angers slowly raised his head and looked at the dark summit of Mount Fuji in the distance.

They probably really have no way to stop the gods from returning to earth.

Meeting room in the underground air-raid shelter of the Prime Minister's Official Residence, Chiyoda Ward, Tokyo.

"Baka! What do you mean by having the Pacific Fleet aim at the Fuji Pass? Are these damned hybrids planning to destroy all of Tokyo and all of Japan?" The Prime Minister roared angrily, his face dark and veins bulging, slamming his fist on the table.

First, a giant dragon destroyed most of Ota. Tonight, hundreds or even thousands of monsters have appeared throughout Tokyo, killing anyone they see and even besieging the government residence. They haven't been killed yet. The tourism industry in Tokyo, and even the national economy, is basically completely ruined.

Now they're telling him that an even more powerful dragon is about to emerge from Mount Fuji, and that the Pacific Fleet should prepare to bomb Mount Fuji. Is this a plan to detonate Mount Fuji and completely destroy the entire country?

"That scoundrel from the Snake Clan named Ryoma, didn't he say he would try his best to stop the monster's influence? How come the situation is getting worse in just half a month?" The Minister of Defense was equally furious. His Self-Defense Forces had been sidelined by the Snake Clan and the US military, and this was the result of them handing them such a big gift.

"To be frank, it was actually Kassel College that rejected the Pacific Fleet Commander's plan to directly bomb Mount Fuji with nuclear weapons." The Chief Cabinet Secretary whispered a reminder: "The current priority is not to assign blame, but to consider that the king caused such a large earthquake, and with the subsequent operations, the probability of Mount Fuji erupting is very high."

"We should consider whether to implement the Tokyo cooling plan ahead of schedule."

Upon hearing this, all the cabinet ministers looked at each other in bewilderment.

The so-called Tokyo Cooling Plan is to empty Tokyo and relocate all residents overseas. Of course, the first priority is to evacuate the Imperial Family and the Cabinet.

The Chief Cabinet Secretary's unspoken message was: Stop arguing, run away first.

A single dragon, known as a Dragon Servant by hybrids, could destroy the entire Otae region in a short time. And with a legendary Dragon King capable of destroying the world, even Tokyo would likely be unsafe.

"In this kind of storm, ordinary helicopters simply cannot take off or land. But the Japan Coast Guard's Osprey aircraft can. I can contact them immediately, and they can arrive within ten minutes." The Minister of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism raised his hand.

"Great, that's wonderful." It was obvious that all the cabinet members breathed a sigh of relief, including the Prime Minister.

They are the pillars of this country; they absolutely cannot be harmed.

Mount Fuji has an altitude of over 3700 meters.

The massive rainfall tonight brought steam and mist that enveloped the entire mountain.

Angers' deduction was indeed correct. According to the earthquake sensor data, the footsteps of God were moving against the flow of the Akaki River until they disappeared completely at a certain point. It can be basically determined that it entered the magma layer of Mount Fuji.

"It's hard to imagine that it can actually swim in lava." Manstein shook his head.

"The temperature of magma is no more than 1,300 degrees Celsius. Even the third generation of bronze and fire species can ignore it, let alone the White King. Swimming is possible, but even dragons cannot survive in it for long." Schneider shook his head. They dared not place bombs in the crater. After all, the White King might be alright, but Tokyo would definitely be doomed.

We can only attack it after it emerges from the ground.

According to their monitoring, the other party was huge but moved relatively slowly, most likely because it was premature and underdeveloped.

"Everyone get ready, the target is expected to break through the surface within 20 minutes."

Pacific Fleet fighter groups have taken off and are poised to engage in combat at high altitude.

Time ticked by, and two reconnaissance fighter jets circled low over Mount Fuji. In the thirteenth minute, an alarm suddenly sounded.

Mount Fuji erupted on a small scale, with fiery red lava slowly flowing down the mountainside. Wherever the fire passed, there was black smoke and water vapor everywhere. This supervolcano is deep black, and the lava solidified as it flowed. The trees on the mountainside spontaneously combusted and turned into charcoal before the lava even reached them.

God has awakened, and he is wielding the power of his will with abandon. If this country didn't still have what it needs, it would probably have already announced its return with a grand fireworks display.

Of course, it's just a matter of time.

"I see it! My God!" the pilot exclaimed. Along with the surging lava and black smoke billowing from the mountaintop, came a huge white figure.

The eight curved dragon necks raised their heads high, emitting deafening, piercing screams towards the heavens and the earth.

The images transmitted by the high-speed camera seemed to hold the breath of everyone in the cabinet and the Pacific Fleet command; each person could only hear their own heart pounding wildly.

The god actually resurrected in the form of the Yamata no Orochi from mythology.

Its enormous length of over thirty meters brings an even greater sense of oppression and fear than Mount Fuji.

"Impossible. With a size like that, its neck should have been completely bent over long ago," Guderian muttered to himself.

"Nothing is impossible. Rather, it's fortunate that he's not in dragon form yet." Angers breathed a sigh of relief. Form and power are not necessarily proportional. The dragon king in human form is still terrifying, but the white king's resurrection in the form of the eight-headed serpent means that the other party is definitely incomplete.

"All units, open fire as soon as it moves out of the pass to a safe distance," Schneider ordered.

Their massive size has both advantages and disadvantages; they now need to try and end the battle before the other side descends from Mount Fuji.

But the Yamata no Orochi did not move. It simply glanced solemnly toward Tokyo, as if confirming something.

Then, to everyone's disbelief, two huge mouths suddenly split open from its abdomen to its tail, and snow-white threads rapidly extended from the mouths, transforming into a pair of semi-circular membranous wings like a moth.

"Open fire!" Schneider roared.

They didn't care whether it would detonate Mount Fuji; the other party had prioritized the modification of the membrane wing right after its birth, and its restorative power was even more terrifying than they had imagined.

Lu Mingfei and Yuan Zhisheng sat in the Black Hawk helicopter. Even the ace pilot of the Japanese Self-Defense Forces could only struggle to maintain his balance in such torrential rain.

When they returned to Tokyo, they were met with a scene of Pacific Fleet fighters launching a frenzied attack on the eight-headed white-winged demon.
