At this moment, shatter the dimensional barrier

Boom! Quetzal's punch slammed into the ground, and the remaining arena floor collapsed, crashing into the deep crater created by Yae no Kami.

Splash splash splash splash...

"I brought this on myself!" Yae no Miko, flying in mid-air, looked at the only remaining ground that was gone and was filled with tears. She quickly transformed into a bolt of lightning and flew into the sky.

Quetzal transformed into a fiery meteor and gave chase, catching up quickly.

However, having promised not to use his powers and divine strength, Yae no Miko used the power of the Thunder's rules to dodge continuously.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Huge fireballs and bolts of lightning, each over ten meters thick, kept appearing in the sky above the arena. The superhumans in the stands craned their necks, but even the third-tier superhumans could only see blurry shadows.

Other lower-level superhumans could only see the fiery meteors and purple lightning constantly chasing and intersecting. Even ordinary people, watching the constantly fleeing purple lightning, knew that their own god had the absolute upper hand.

The people of Navajo City gazed excitedly at the ever-changing celestial phenomena, never imagining they would witness a battle between gods firsthand here.

Large screens on skyscrapers throughout the city were broadcasting live from the arena.

"This is a live broadcast from Xia Guo CTV! I'm reporter ** Look! The opening ceremony has started, and I never expected it to be so exciting!" The Xia Guo reporter outside the arena excitedly explained to the camera.

"Kukulkan, the supreme god who unites the United States and controls the powers of wind, rain, sun, and more, invites Yae no Miko, the fox god subordinate to the Japanese thunder god, to a friendly match!"

"Is this the deity Kukulkan announcing to the world that a powerful America has returned? Or is it using a deity that suppresses Japan to establish its authority?"

"The above is purely my personal, unfounded speculation, please do not take it seriously."

The Japanese reporter was quite angry and began to complain live: "This is TV Tokyo. The gods of the United States are suppressing Japan. They want to suppress us with the fox god. Do they want Japan to become the dog of the United States again?"

"This is a provocation! This isn't just attacking our Fox God, it's a slap in the face to our Narukami! We protest!"

Wow! The gods are fighting!

"What nonsense are you talking about? How could the gods really fight each other? If they really fought, things would be much worse than they are now."

"That's true! Lord Kukulkan said it was a friendly match, as expected of our Lord Kukulkan!"

"Long live Lord Kukulkan!"

"Hey! You Xia countryman over there! Are you cursing our Lord Kukulkan?!"

"No, I am also an admirer of Lord Kukulkan."

"You're looking for trouble, aren't you! Lord Kukulkan is our supreme god, eternal and immortal! How dare you curse Lord Kukulkan to only live ten thousand years! Don't think I can't tell! I studied diplomacy and am fluent in eight languages."

"Grass!"

Rumble rumble rumble...

In an instant, purple lightning struck the huge crater in the arena, crackling and illuminating the entire arena.

Immediately afterwards, a fiery meteor fell, finally hovering in the arena before disappearing, revealing Kukulkan's figure.

"Roar roar roar roar..." The audience roared hysterically.

"Cough cough cough... Waaah..." In the deep pit, Yae no Miko clutched her stomach, tears welling in her eyes. She bit her lip in grievance, her eyebrows furrowed in pain.

She kept dodging, but finally took a punch, almost making her vomit bile. She had never been beaten like that before. She wanted to cry X﹏X.

Quetzal was clearly just toying with her; he could have killed her instantly even without divine power or authority.

Hearing the cheers, Yae no Miko felt even more aggrieved, tears welling up in her eyes, but she used her divine power to evaporate them out of pride.

He slowly flew out of the deep pit and managed a weak smile in front of 150 million American superhumans.

Amidst cheers, Quetzal, beaming, extended his hand to Yae no Miko, who reluctantly took his hand.

"The friendly match is over, the celebration officially begins! Revel, all citizens of the world!" Quetzal shouted, his divine power carrying his voice throughout the entire holy city of Navajo.

Immediately afterwards, Quetzalcoatl punched the destroyed arena fighting area, and a torrent of rock element erupted, quickly filling the crater with rock and restoring it to its original state.

The gods connected to the 'World Tree' can use the seven elemental forces, and constructing nature using the seven elements is a piece of cake for them.

However, the gods only have the right to use, not the right to control. Only those who possess the 'Seven Elemental Powers' have the right to control elemental power.

The gods who can wield the seven elements already possess immense power for mortals.

Today is the newest 'God's Birthday' in the United States, and 200 million people across all continents are excitedly celebrating in front of their television screens.

"Lord Kukulkan is the strongest god!" a gaunt white man shouted as he jumped up, his daughter dancing in front of the television.

Before Lord Kukulkan arrived, he was just a homeless man on the streets of New York. After being fired by his company on the grounds of illness, he was unable to afford rent and car loans and ended up on the streets with his wife and daughter, being chased by loan companies and banks for debt every day.

His wife couldn't stand it anymore and divorced him. He was left to raise his daughter alone, working illegally to earn a meager living.

The United States used to be a pile of stinking dog shit, and he was so disillusioned with life that he had given up on it.

Then Lord Kukulkan descended, leading the superhumans to sweep through drug cartels, arms dealers, and all sorts of gangs and loan sharks in every state of the United States, although many corpses appeared on the streets during that time.

But those are the corpses of gangs, loan companies, and so on; loan companies and gangs are essentially one entity.

After that, the atmosphere in the United States changed instantly. Those who were forced to become homeless were provided with free accommodation, and if they awakened their supernatural abilities, they could be given priority in job placement.

Nowadays, there are no gangs or loan companies left in the United States, and all the groups that controlled the lives of Americans have been wiped out.

"Sir, please stop making a fuss, the surgery is about to start." A nurse in the hospital was comforting a patient who was insisting on watching the live news broadcast.

"I want to see Lord Kukulkan! Please wait until I've seen him before you start the surgery! Please, nurse!"

"Give me anesthesia! Give me anesthesia!" the doctor yelled.

Since Lord Kukulkan appointed Luigi as governor and health regulator, the entire U.S. healthcare system has undergone a major overhaul, with all the money going to crucial areas: doctors' salaries, drug development and distribution, and health insurance.

Without the medical group, all the money was used where it was needed, and even cancer could be cured with half a month's salary.

In the extraordinary world, there is no disease that ordinary people cannot cure.

……

at the same time

Tokyo, Japan

At this moment, in the Narukami Hall, Raiden was truly gathering those who would go to the British Underground City for trials.

Looking at the confident, puffed-out figures of his own nation's extraordinary individuals standing beneath the divine throne, Raiden sighed inwardly: 'Sigh…'

Exhausted, Japan had a severe shortage of superhumans due to its previous isolationist policies. Even now, with the nationwide promotion of 'Source Awakening,' very few people are actually able to awaken. Only 35% have achieved initial awakening. However, despite the small percentage, there are still 40 million awakened individuals out of a population of 100 million.

Of these 40 million people, more than 2 million have awakened their abilities.

However, very few people have obtained the Holy Mark and are qualified to use elemental power. There are only a little over 700 people in total, of which 95% are at the second tier and there are only a few at the third tier.

More than seven hundred...

Seven hundred or so is actually quite a lot; in Teyvat, the number of people who can use elemental power is roughly that many.

But you have to compare things. Seven hundred people is only a fraction of what the neighboring Xia Kingdom has.

That's not the most crucial point. With so few awakened people, isn't that silently telling the world that the country ruled by Narukami is a moral low ground?

A boy still wearing his middle school uniform stood tall and proud: "Don't worry, Lord Narukami, our Genius Society will definitely bring back glory from the dungeon!"

"We will crush all evil with thunder!"

"You brat! What are you doing?!" Mimi Ryanako, standing to the side, was terrified when she saw her son speak before Narukami-sama even opened his mouth. She wished she could rush over right now, grab his head, and commit seppuku to atone for his sins.

"..." The other palace priests and the summoned superhumans were all drenched in sweat.

Raiden Shin didn't blame the boy who spoke up; he was just a kid, still at the age where he was full of hot-blooded passion. "Glory, Mimi Hibiki? Then go and prove yourself. If you can reach the fifth rank in the dungeon, then I will grant you the authority of a familiar."

This young man was among the first to awaken his abilities, and he has now reached the third tier, making him the strongest superhuman in the island nation.

He has never experienced failure, and the dungeon will extinguish his passion.

The dungeon has monsters that exist on the surface, and even monsters that don't exist on the surface. It's safe to say that the dungeon's strength is incomparable to that of monsters on the surface.

Hibiki Mimi clenched his right fist and pounded it against his chest: "Yes! Lord Narukami, the thunder in my heart has long been unable to contain itself and can no longer be contained, to prove to the whole world our backbone under the thunder!"

The thirteen friends behind him all had shining eyes.

These were all members of his 'Genius Society,' the least of whom were extraordinary individuals who had awakened their abilities, and eight of them, like him, had obtained the Holy Mark.

They are currently the strongest superhuman society in the island nation.

"...Gulp~" The other superhumans swallowed hard, looking enviously at Miki Hibiki who had bestowed the power upon his familiar! This kid is really lucky!

What does this mean? This is the granting of authority to be subordinate to the gods, and the ability to become a god like the 'those who are close to the gods'. The Fox God is an example of this.

But there's nothing we can do about it; he's young and has already reached level three, so he represents the conscience of Japan right now.

During this period, the 'Genius Society' was very famous, sweeping through all the gangsters and thugs in Japan, even though those gangsters went into hiding or even gave up their jobs because of Lord Narukami's divine power.

But that kid bluntly said, "A sinner for a day is a sinner for life. Whitewashing? A sinner's soul can never be whitewashed. Forgiving sinners is something the gods of the underworld do; what they need to do is send sinners to the underworld."

It's a strange twist of good and evil. With him as an example, other superhumans found their direction and followed suit.

Believe it or not, it really works; many people have obtained the Holy Mark as a result.

"Family, family! Gaa~" Upon hearing this, Mimi Ranako's blood rushed to her head with excitement, her face turned bright red, and then she fainted from happiness.

"Lady, come to my aid!" The priest of the nearby shrine hurriedly helped her up.

Raiden ignored the unconscious Mimi Ranako and looked at the Inaba sisters standing calmly on either side. The two sisters had also reached the third rank, but their stats were slightly lower than Mimi Hibiki's.

Now, various shrines are also purchasing all sorts of measuring instruments from Xia Kingdom, capable of accurately measuring the index of extraordinary individuals.

Recently, various large-scale theaters have opened in cities across Japan.

The leaders of each dojo are all superhumans. These dojos bear social security responsibilities and are equivalent to the 'Superhuman Service Center' in Xia Kingdom, except that they are more grassroots and somewhat similar to the monster hunter groups in Xia Kingdom. They are somewhere between the official and the grassroots, and they are also of a hereditary nature.

This aligns with Japan's national conditions, as people in various professions quickly find their niche in a rapidly changing world.

Nowadays, superhumans in kendo dojos, karate dojos, and other similar institutions take pride in slaying monsters in the city, and the government provides subsidies as appropriate.

Raiden Shin said, "Inaba Touka, Inaba Chitose, you will lead the team to Britain. I hope you will both reach the fifth rank when you return."

The highest level a dungeon can reach is the sixth rank. In a very short period of time, power can increase rapidly, but the mind is a shackle on rank.

According to an ancient saying in the Xia Kingdom, if one cultivates the body but not the mind, it will all be in vain until death. If one's spirit is not elevated, one's spiritual level will remain stuck.

She hoped that the people she sent there would experience spiritual growth during their adventures in the dungeon, such as sacrificing themselves in danger to give their teammates a chance to survive.

Lord Tenri loves this kind of thing the most; he might even achieve enlightenment on the spot.

"Yes, Masahiro, we will not let you down." The Inaba sisters stepped forward and bowed slightly.

"Alright, you may all leave."
