I teach judo in Tokyo.

Its eyes are not human round pupils, but rather the red and green heterochromatic vertical pupils of a snake.

With just a casual glance, Sosuke was shaken to his core, and a tremendous terror involuntarily rose in his heart.

"Well......"

His lips parted slightly, uttering a low, magnetic, divine, and terrifying murmur.

Then, he praised it in a peculiar language that Sosuke had never encountered before, yet he could understand its meaning.

"To think I'd be back here again... Interesting..."

......

Chapter 401 The Insufficient Part

"To think I'd be back here again... Interesting..."

He uttered a language that Sosuke could understand immediately, using strange syllables.

The next second, He calmly extended his index finger toward Atobe Sousuke and pointed it from a distance.

An unparalleled sense of crisis rose in Sousuke's mind!

In that critical moment, his eyes snapped open, and a dark red demonic energy cloak instantly appeared on his body.

"boom!"

The moment he transformed into his dragon form, a terrifying explosion resounded throughout the heavens and earth.

The crimson light seemed to appear out of thin air, exploding directly in front of Sousuke.

The overwhelming power instantly destroyed the energy cloak covering Atobe Sousuke's body.

Amidst the explosion of light and shadow, Atobe Sousuke was sent flying backward in a sorry state, crashing heavily into his seat in the audience.

Many seats were smashed along with the ground, and Sousuke was almost embedded in the ground.

"Guwa!"

He coughed up a mouthful of blood.

His condition appeared rather miserable.

However, even a casual strike could produce such a terrible effect.

But the terrifying demon god frowned slightly.

He looked at the finger that had just launched the attack, his expression somewhat puzzled: "Why is my power so weak?"

Below, Atobe Sousuke fiercely wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, a wild smile appearing on his face.

"Hahahaha-"

Amidst his maniacal laughter, he stared at the terrifying demon god with a gloating gaze, and said mockingly, "How about it? In this extraordinary world, even a god or demon is powerless, isn't he?"

As he said this, his eyes flickered slightly as he stared intently at the other person, finally confirming their identity.

Orochi, the Serpent King

Of course, even in the system panel, you can only see his identity; everything else is just a bunch of question marks.

Upon hearing Sousuke's voice, Orochi lowered his eyes slightly, a hint of interest appearing on his face: "Even though it's just a negligible amount of power, it's amazing that it survived..."

He looked at Sosuke curiously: "Judging from what you've said, it seems you know my identity?"

Sosuke struggled with his hands and got up from where he was embedded in the ground.

He swayed as he straightened up, raised his head, and laughed, "The ruler of the Yamata clan, one of the demon gods who dominated this world fifty thousand years ago, how could I not know him..."

"The Serpent King - Orochi".

His voice was clear and bright, and his face was handsome. Even when facing the gods and demons floating in the air, he showed no fear whatsoever.

Upon hearing Atobe Sousuke's words, Orochi raised an eyebrow slightly and a faint smile appeared on his lips.

The two of them were like this, one in heaven and one on earth.

One is a god, the other a human.

They stood in silent confrontation.

And this exaggerated scene of gods confronting humans—

It's being broadcast live to the whole world!

That's right.

As the world's first superhuman combat event, it has been receiving massive equipment investment to ensure the quality of its live broadcast.

Although a large number of drones and other filming equipment were destroyed during the upheaval, quite a few managed to escape unscathed.

These devices faithfully perform their duties.

The entire ritual process at Tokyo Dome, including Atobe Sousuke's brave efforts to disrupt it, was broadcast live.

The bizarre ritual, the frenzied crowd, and the Yamata clan and others whose words and actions were extremely evil.

In contrast to the upright and righteous Atobe Sousuke.

People all over the world are not fools; they quickly discerned which side was on their side and which side was the villain.

The hearts of billions of people are stirred by the ongoing battle between Sousuke and the villain.

Until this terrifying serpent demon king officially descended.

Even through a screen, one can see the terrifying phenomenon when Orochi descends, and the aura that rises and shines around his body like special effects, which is always present.

People all over the world have deeply felt how terrifying this guy, whom Atobe Sousuke called the "Snake Demon King," was.

Even when facing so many incredibly powerful individuals capable of unleashing wind, fire, and lightning, Atobe Sousuke was originally expected to sweep them all away with overwhelming force.

Even against this "demon king," he was still blasted away with a single finger.

Excited and nervous netizens couldn't help but send out all sorts of bullet comments to express their feelings:

"My God, this Serpent Demon King is terrifying!"

"Are you sure this isn't a prank? Like filming a special effects movie or something?"

"Although it's unbelievable, all the information indicates that everything in the live stream actually happened..."

Oh my god!

"Sousuke Atobe, run! Retreat first, we can deal with this later!"

"That's right, run! Humans can't possibly defeat this terrifying creature!"

"First, admit defeat and run away, then cooperate with the authorities and combine modern technology to launch a counterattack against this monster!"

"The other side is a god, there's no shame in running away!"

"Where there's life, there's hope!"

"Run!"

"Let's retreat!"

......

As people's bullet comments increase.

More and more suggestions are being made for Atobe Sousuke to retreat immediately.

Until the very end, almost all the live stream chats were filled with comments telling Atobe Sousuke to run away.

People didn't want Sosuke to die in vain in front of such gods and demons.

Official agencies from various countries also appeared to quickly connect for emergency meetings within those few minutes.

At such a critical moment, their decision-making mechanism seems to proceed exceptionally quickly.

In the few seconds that Atobe Sousuke was silently confronting Orochi,

A drone equipped with a speaker hovered behind Atobe Sousuke.

A dignified male voice came from within.

“Mr. Atobe, although it is hard for us to believe, the facts are right in front of us.”

"As you said, according to feedback from special agencies in various countries, the monster you are confronting is none other than the legendary enemy of ancient humans—the Serpent Demon King Orochi."

"After our joint discussion and analysis, your chances of defeating Him are very low. If possible, please evacuate immediately with all your might."

"We have already contacted the Japanese authorities, and they are mobilizing Self-Defense Force forces, which will be assembled near Tokyo Dome in ten minutes to cover your evacuation."

Atobe Sousuke listened to the voice coming from behind him.

A slight smile appeared on his lips.

He didn't turn around, but asked softly, "May I ask you something, leader of some organization I don't know?"

"Mr. Atobe, please speak."

The lights on the drone are flashing.

The camera also faithfully recorded Sosuke's tall figure.

Even in such a serious setting, the young man still asked in a slightly flippant tone.

"Based on your analysis, what are my chances of winning?"

"Uh......"

It seems they didn't expect Sousuke to ask this question.

The authoritative male voice paused for a moment, then answered, "Less than 20%."

"Twenty percent?"

Sousuke nodded: "It's really not tall..."

"However..." he chuckled.

"But what?" A dignified male voice asked the question that audiences around the world were eager to hear.

They couldn't understand why, in such a critical moment, Atobe Sousuke had the leisure to chat about trivial matters.

Atobe Sousuke slowly turned to the side, assuming a horse stance ready for battle.

His profile was revealed to the camera as he made this movement.

From this close-up camera angle, Sosuke looks up at the Serpent King high above, like a hero about to defeat the final boss.

Under the watchful eyes of millions of viewers, his clear voice was firm and unrestrained.

"The difference in odds is not the key to determining victory or defeat."

"The part that's lacking..."

The sunlight shone down, making his fair and handsome face gleam slightly.

"Make amends with courage!"

Chapter 402 Gods and Men

"The part that's lacking..."

"Make amends with courage!"

The moment Atobe Sousuke uttered those words in front of the whole world, while at odds with God.

He felt an unprecedented sense of clarity permeate his entire being.

At the same time, it seemed as if he had received the attention of some being.
