Kryptonians: Man of Steel

Chapter 1384: Mount Fuji Spiritual Wedge

"In ancient times, the climate was warm and the earth was rich in spiritual energy. All kinds of supernatural creatures and practitioners could easily obtain spiritual energy and improve their strength. It was the time when myths and legends all over the world burst out. At that time, gods, monsters, magicians and other supernatural creatures emerged in an endless stream."

"As the climate gradually moved towards the Little Ice Age, the earth's environment underwent tremendous changes, and spiritual energy gradually became thinner. It became increasingly difficult for supernatural creatures and practitioners to obtain spiritual energy, and their strength gradually declined. Supernatural myths gradually disappeared, and even became extinct. In order to survive and continue their own power, some supernatural forces began to look for new methods."

"In order to deal with the dilemma of spiritual energy depletion, they came up with a solution, which is to seal the demons and ghosts. They used the remaining spiritual energy to cast powerful sealing spells to seal those powerful demons and ghosts in specific places. These seals can not only prevent demons and ghosts from causing harm to the world, but also serve as a storage device for spiritual energy. The sealed demons and ghosts contain a large amount of spiritual energy. Supernatural forces can use special spells to extract this spiritual energy to maintain their survival and cultivation."

"Today, you all know what the greenhouse effect is. In fact, the Little Ice Age has completely ended, and global temperature rise is inevitable. As the climate warms, the planet's ecological environment gradually recovers, and the production of spiritual energy begins to increase slowly. However, due to the long-term depletion of spiritual energy, the total amount of spiritual energy between heaven and earth is still far less than in ancient times. Moreover, those sealed demons and monsters have been constantly accumulating strength over the long years, waiting for the day when the seal is lifted."

Luther continued.

Alice Nakiri was terrified. She realized that the seal of Mount Fuji and the monsters and demons were far more complicated and dangerous than she had imagined.

She did not hide it and told the other members of the Totsuki Espada Council, including the two cabinet members.

Since this matter concerns Mount Fuji and the situation of the spiritual wedge is unknown, the people in the cabinet dare not be careless.

Mount Fuji, as one of the symbols of the island country, has a special geographical location and is densely populated by people. Once the seal is broken, demons and monsters will wreak havoc and the consequences will be disastrous.

The cabinet immediately mobilized the army to blockade Mount Fuji first.

Emergency orders were quickly transmitted from the cabinet to various military units. The army and air force worked together to quickly establish a tight blockade around Mount Fuji.

The army troops, armed with live ammunition, set up roadblocks at major intersections and hiking trails on Mount Fuji, prohibiting unauthorized personnel from entering.

The Air Force dispatched helicopters to hover over Mount Fuji, using advanced monitoring equipment to conduct a full-scale scan of the mountain in an attempt to detect any abnormal energy fluctuations or suspicious signs.

"Do you know where the spirit wedge is?"

The cabinet man asked.

Now the island country has established the "Supernatural Department" because of many supernatural incidents. The department level in the island country is not an ordinary department level, so strictly speaking, it is the people from the Supernatural Department who are busy.

The Supernatural Hall brings together the country's top scientists, occult experts, and special operations personnel to deal with all kinds of supernatural events.

"I don't know. Lord Luther said that he is not from our country and does not know the structure and location of the spirit wedge, so we can only find it ourselves."

Alice Nakiri had already asked.

The problem is, if you look for it yourself, Mount Fuji is very big.

Mount Fuji is 3776 meters above sea level. The mountain is huge and the terrain is complex. Finding a small spiritual wedge in it is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

The mountain is made of volcanic rocks such as basalt, and after a long period of geological changes, many valleys, gullies and caves have been formed. In addition, the vegetation around Mount Fuji is dense, ranging from low-altitude temperate forests to high-altitude cold vegetation, which makes the search work extremely difficult.

The Supernatural Department quickly convened an emergency meeting to discuss response strategies.

The atmosphere in the conference room was tense and solemn. Experts and officials sat around the conference table with serious expressions.

The soft light could not dispel the worry between everyone's brows. The clock on the wall ticked, as if urging them to make a decision as soon as possible.

"We can't just search Mount Fuji blindly. We have to gather more intelligence first."

An occult expert said, pushing his glasses up, his eyes revealing professionalism and calmness, "According to ancient records and analysis of previous supernatural events, spirit wedges are usually placed at locations with special energy nodes. We can use advanced energy detection equipment to conduct a comprehensive energy scan of Mount Fuji to find possible energy nodes."

Another technology expert nodded in agreement: "Yes, with satellite remote sensing technology, we can conduct a full-scale, high-precision scan of Mount Fuji. However, the complex geological structure of Mount Fuji may interfere with the scanning results. We need to do a good job of data analysis and screening."

At the same time, Totsuki Academy was naturally preparing to move out.

The ten Espadrilles of the Totsuki Espada Council acted together. They were dressed in special uniforms, carrying professional equipment, and had determined expressions.

Fortunately, Mount Fuji is neither big nor small, so they don't have to climb over the mountains. At most, they can just look for those corners that no one has been to to see if there is any spiritual wedge.

They don't even know what a spirit wedge looks like, because Luther said that every practitioner's spirit wedge is actually different. If it were not inherited, then the spirit wedge would probably be varied. It might be a piece of stone, a pen, or a piece of paper. This thing is called a spirit wedge only because it plays a role similar to that of a wedge.

In this case, their search is really like looking for a needle in a haystack.

"What should I do? What on earth is that spiritual wedge?"

Soma Yukihira asked Alice Nakiri, his eyes full of confusion and curiosity, and he scratched his head unconsciously with his hands.

"How should I know? Lord Luther said that this is not the demon he sealed, so he doesn't know what the spirit wedge is. We can only find it ourselves."

Nakiri Alice said, her brows furrowed and her face full of helplessness.

"Just look for it? There's no other way?"

Erina Nakiri couldn't help but ask, she crossed her arms over her chest, with a hint of dissatisfaction in her tone, it would be impossible to find it if you forcefully search for it.

"The place where the spirit wedge is sealed is a place where few people go to avoid accidental destruction. However, Lord Luther said that if there are people among us who are good at sensing psychic energy, we can use psychic energy to determine the location. However, this method is also very slim, because in order to prevent other monsters and demons from discovering the sealed place, it must have been covered up."

Alice Nakiri said helplessly.
