I sparked a mysterious resurgence in Marvel.

Chapter 358 The nuclear shield is shattered, and the terrified human leadership...

"Is it... still unstoppable?"

Looking at the scorched earth stretching for miles around Mount Fuji, and the world-destroying flood unleashed by the enraged Yamata no Orochi, a bitter smile appeared on Kin'emon's face.

Cassius, standing next to Kin'emon, was also feeling extremely heavy-hearted.

Even the Mirror Space created by the Sorcerer Supreme was backfired by the "Contract of King Arthur," so how could Kin'emon, who changed the landing point of the nuclear explosion, possibly escape the backlash of the contract?

In fact.

As he opened the portal and faced the nuclear bomb, the backlash of the "Contract of King Arthur" struck Kin'emon.

However, Kin'emon did not choose to close the portal at that time. Instead, he resolutely opened the portal to its maximum size amidst the burning flames.

That's why.

Kin'emon's body, magic, and even soul were ignited by that terrifying evil fire.

But now...

After a bitter laugh, Kin'emon spoke in a voice slightly hoarse from the scorching flames, "Master Cassias, there's no need to waste any more mana suppressing my backlash. The moment I chose to open the portal, I had already chosen my fate."

Cassias: "Kin'emon..."

"Master Cassias, there's no need to comfort me. Although I failed to kill Orochi, I saw that the nuclear bomb still severely damaged that monster."

At this point, Kin'emon's face, burning with black flames, faintly revealed a smile. "At least, my efforts were worthwhile. Perhaps, a thousand years from now, my name will be remembered for eternity, just like Susanoo."

"It definitely will."

After nodding heavily, Cassius, at Kin'emon's request, canceled the spell that was suppressing the contract's backlash on Kin'emon's body.

As the golden-red magic dissipated, the black flames burning on Kin'emon's body surged instantly, engulfing him completely.

Amidst the raging flames.

Kin'emon did not close his eyes and wait for death.

Instead, he endured the excruciating pain of being burned alive and, with his trembling hands, forced open another distorted portal in the void.

"If one nuclear bomb could severely damage Orochi, what about another one?"

"Cough cough cough... Let me do one last thing for Japan!!"

Amid Kin'emon's violent coughing.

The endless stream of evil fire in the void instantly engulfed it.

Even so.

In mid-air, the constantly twisting portal did not dissipate until the second nuclear missile passed through it, at which point the portal shattered with a deafening roar.

They transformed into specks of golden-red sparks and vanished into the void.

Along with the portal, the body of the monk Kin'emon, consumed by evil flames, also vanished.

········

the other side.

The Japanese government and high-ranking officials from around the world were all horrified as they watched the Yamata no Orochi emerge from the nuclear explosion, roaring to the sky and unleashing a cataclysmic flood.

As humanity's strongest trump card in the world today, nuclear weapons are actually a kind of alternative belief in the human heart.

In everyone's mind, there is no creature that a nuclear bomb cannot kill.

However, when the figure of Yamata no Orochi emerged from the center of the nuclear explosion and unleashed a cataclysmic flood, the invincible nature of the nuclear bomb was shattered.

Not just the Japanese government.

Even among the higher-ups of other humans, an indescribable panic ensued.

········

Inside the spaceship hidden on the far side of the moon.

"Even nuclear bombs couldn't kill that monster?"

Nick Fury gasped as he watched the footage coming from the satellite.

A chilling glint flashed in Nick Fury's eyes as he quickly turned to Talos beside him and asked, "Has Carol not arrived in Tokyo yet?"

Talos glanced at the red-glowing, rapidly moving dot on the control panel beside him and shook his head.

"Carol was delayed too much by that underwater ruin in the Pacific Ocean. At her current speed, it will take her at least another minute to get to Tokyo. No, it's 59 seconds now..."

Less than a minute?

Upon hearing the number, Nick Fury breathed a slight sigh of relief.

However, when he turned around and saw the terrifying, menacing figure captured by the satellite, Nick Fury's heart, which had just settled down, jumped again.

Even nuclear bombs couldn't kill that monster, so can Carol really take care of it?

After a brief silence...

Nick Fury forcefully pushed that thought out of his mind.

"Fuck you, everything was fine last year, why have all these ancient gods and monsters suddenly appeared after only a few months?"

···········

Just as Nick Fury was hurling insults.

Erin also used [Intermediate Holy Light Healing] to dispel the last trace of evil fire on the king's body, saving his burned face.

It's unclear whether Wang only reduced the power of the nuclear explosion, or whether the scroll of the [Mirror Space] was made by the Sorcerer Supreme.

The backlash from the contract that Wang suffered was far less severe than that suffered by Kin'emon.

After Wang reluctantly used a white stone to absorb most of the burning flames in his place, Erin's [Intermediate Holy Light Healing] just dispelled the last trace of the flames on Wang's body.

After the horrific burns on his body healed.

Although Wang was rescued, his face was still covered in fat, but at least he wasn't as bad-looking.

"Thanks!!!"

After touching his unharmed face, the king, whose robes were tattered from the fire, walked excitedly toward Erin, wanting to express his heartfelt gratitude.

She subtly avoided the king's embrace.

Looking at Kin'emon, who was being reduced to ashes in the flames not far away, Erin shook his head and quickly said, "Let's go, the second nuclear bomb is about to explode."

"it is good."

Mordo and the others, who also witnessed that scene, remained silent for a moment before quickly stepping into the ever-open portal beside them and entering the Shanghai Temple.

And just as they stepped into the Shanghai temple.

A dazzling mushroom cloud rose once again from Mount Fuji.

A terrifying explosion, several times more powerful than the previous nuclear explosion, instantly swept in all directions.

However, at this time...

The figure that roared to the sky atop Mount Fuji has long since vanished without a trace.

···········

A few seconds ago.

When the portal, bursting with golden-red sparks, appeared above Mount Fuji, the Yamata no Orochi's expression changed drastically. And when it saw the nuclear missile hurtling towards it again through the portal, its three remaining giant eyes shrank sharply into vertical pupils.

Originally intending to teach humanity a lesson, the Yamata no Orochi suddenly turned its massive body around without a word and plunged headfirst into the remaining, somewhat unstable, hellish dimension passage.

Although he wanted to teach humanity a lesson, he had no intention of paying the price.

To the Yamata no Orochi, that strange lump of iron was even more terrifying than a divine weapon.

Having already tried it once, Orochi has no intention of testing the power of a nuclear explosion again anytime soon.

So it ran away without hesitation.

In order to slow down the rapid descent of that nuclear bomb.

A thick, dark green plume of smoke spewed from one of the Yamata no Orochi's heads.

With a "plop" sound.

The nuclear bomb that created a sonic boom disappeared into the dark green smoke, as if it had sunk into a swamp.

A full three seconds passed before the corroded, pitted nuclear bomb burst out of the smoke and landed inside Mount Fuji.

········

Watching the terrifying mushroom cloud rise again over Mount Fuji.

At Senso-ji Temple, Tamamo-no-Mae's fox tail swayed gently in the breeze, exuding an unusual allure.

"Is this a nuclear bomb? It's truly terrifying. I never imagined that in just a few hundred years, those seemingly insignificant mortals would possess such a terrifying weapon."

"However, this is not necessarily bad news for me either."

The thought of the human leaders who, under the seduction of their fox-women, were easily bewitched and then launched a nuclear missile at Tokyo comes to mind.

A hint of disdain flashed in Tamamo-no-Mae's eyes.

Humans who possess such terrifying weapons were easily charmed by a single charm spell. In Tamamo-no-Mae's eyes, those people were like children walking through a bustling city with a large sum of money in their hands.

However, this actually provides her with a lot of convenience.

After setting aside the shock of the nuclear bomb, Tamamo-no-Mae's thoughts shifted to the aura that had suddenly disappeared into Mount Fuji before the nuclear explosion.

"I didn't expect that Orochi would actually escape at this time. It seems that Mephisto, this self-proclaimed great schemer, has once again made a mistake in his plan."

After lazily stretching, Tamamo-no-Mae's fox tail suddenly stood up like a bristle.

As if sensing something, Tamamo-no-Mae's expression suddenly changed, and she shattered like a bubble.

It was at this moment.

A giant gourd, falling with the force of a meteor, rippled through the air above Senso-ji Temple before crashing down on the spot where Tamamo-no-Mae had been standing.

With a deafening roar, a violent force was unleashed.

The things around where Tamamo-no-Mae had stood instantly turned to dust, and even space itself distorted and shattered, turning into fragmented mirrors.

The earth, like a spider web, instantly cracked open from the center of the giant gourd, creating a huge crater that then rapidly spread in all directions.

Amidst the swirling smoke and dust.

A burst of wild laughter followed.

"Hahaha! You sly fox, you run really fast!"

As laughter rang out, a tall and handsome figure suddenly fell from the void, landing right on top of the giant wine gourd.

Looking at the handsome young man standing on the gourd of wine, Tamamo-no-Mae's nine fox tails flared up, and a terrifying demonic aura instantly rose from her body.

"Shuten-dōji, if you want to die, I can grant your wish."

As she spoke, a bright orange-yellow ancient mirror appeared in Tamamo-no-Mae's hand, her face gleaming with cold light.

"The Yata no Kagami, this mirror has indeed fallen into your hands."

Looking at the orange-yellow ancient mirror in Tamamo-no-Mae's hand, a trace of fear flashed across Shuten-dōji's eerily handsome face.

Yata no Kagami!

One of the three sacred treasures in Japanese legend, a treasure on par with the Kusanagi Sword and the Yasakani no Magatama.

According to legend, this precious mirror has always been kept by Amaterasu Omikami.

But unexpectedly, it has now fallen into the hands of Tamamo-no-Mae.

Although Shuten-dōji had vaguely heard this rumor before coming, his heart still sank when he actually saw the Yata no Kagami in Tamamo-no-Mae's hands.

For powerful demons of their caliber, treasures that can enhance their strength are extremely rare.

And the three legendary divine artifacts are one of them.

With this Yata Mirror, the already renowned Nine-Tailed Fox is now even more powerful.

Although he felt a sense of apprehension, Shuten-dōji showed no fear on his face. Instead, he coldly questioned, "This mirror is the reward those guys gave you, isn't it? It seems you were indeed among those who plotted against my father this time."

Upon hearing Shuten-dōji's question, Tamamo-no-Mae scoffed, "Father? Ha, stop pretending. Are you really the kind of demon who would go to such lengths for that stinking serpent? If you were truly such a good son, you wouldn't have chosen to stand by and watch when Yamata no Orochi was defeated by Susanoo."

talking.

Suddenly, the Yata no Kagami in Tamamo-no-Mae's hand spun, unleashing a bright yellow rainbow of light towards Shuten-dōji.

That bright yellow rainbow light was moving at an incredible speed.

Even Shuten-dōji, who was prepared, only had time to shield himself with the giant gourd of sake at his feet before being struck head-on by the bright yellow rainbow light.

boom!

It was accompanied by a loud bang.

Shuten-dōji, along with his gourd, was blasted hundreds of meters away.

The huge red gourd, made of some unknown material, was dented by the bright yellow iridescent light.

"Such power... I must say, it truly lives up to its name, the Yata Mirror!"

After licking his scarlet lips, Shuten-dōji revealed a sinister smile. "However, from today onwards, this Yata Mirror belongs to me."

The next instant.

Shuten-dōji, who had the appearance of a handsome young man, transformed into a large, red-skinned, horned, and exceptionally robust red-faced demon with a ferocious and hideous appearance.

At the same time that Shuten-dōji was unleashing his full power.

A chilling aura suddenly appeared behind Tamamo-no-Mae and swept towards her.

The earth, the air... everything that came into contact with that icy breath was instantly frozen.

In an instant, a snowy landscape filled with endless cold unfolded behind Tamamo-no-Mae. However, faced with the terrifying cold, Tamamo-no-Mae's stunningly beautiful face showed no panic whatsoever; instead, a radiant smile bloomed on her face.
