I asked you to play a dungeon, why don't you just raise the BOSS here?

Chapter 399 Oda Nobunaga, immortal for thousands of years, great calamity is merciless
Two years later

Japan, Kyoto City
"Damn it! What a bunch of damn barbarians!"

"They are just a bunch of butchers of lowly origin, yet they actually... actually dared..."

The old emperor sat in the castle tower of the imperial palace, looking outside the city with a cold gaze.

Several years ago, the Owari fool who liked to dance in women's clothes, with the support of his retainers, began the journey to end the Warring States Period.

To everyone's surprise, Oda Nobunaga gave up his foolish persona and demonstrated great military talent and personal bravery.

In an incredible operation, Oda Nobunaga replaced the declining Ashikaga Muromachi shogunate and established the Oda shogunate.

Half a year ago, even the ruler of the northernmost Mutsu Province, the one-eyed Date Masamune, swore an oath to lead the demon tribe to offer loyalty to the shogun Oda Nobunaga.

This also means the demise of the last independent force in Japan.

In other words, Oda Nobunaga had ended the Warring States Period that had lasted for a hundred years and completely conquered Japan.

For the Japanese, this is enough to be called "hegemony".

When the old emperor was ready and waiting for Oda Nobunaga to show his hand...

As a result, the other party has been staying in Osaka Castle for the past six months and has ignored Kyoto.

Just when the old emperor breathed a sigh of relief.

Ten days ago, armies from all over Japan suddenly began to gather outside Kyoto.

Now there are a full 150,000 troops at the gates of the city.

The cold murderous intent and bloody smell mixed together and rose into the sky.

The old emperor could hardly believe that these were the poorly trained and poorly equipped peasant soldiers that the intelligence officials had mentioned...

Well, maybe the equipment is indeed poor.

But these are obviously experienced soldiers!
I dare not say anything else.

At least every army can blow his royal guards into pieces!
Although these troops showed limited respect for the royal family, they never attacked the city.

But the people in Kyoto have already felt tremendous panic.

They have been gathering outside the imperial palace these days, demanding that he issue a self-criticism edict and apologize to the great "General Oda Nobunaga."

This made the old emperor very unhappy.

It’s not that I can’t apologize or that I can’t swallow this anger.

The key point is that the old emperor doesn't know what's going on...

When they sent someone to the outside of the city to question him, the commander-in-chief of the army, Shibata Katsuie, actually said in a friendly manner: "Lord Oda ordered us to gather here. We don't know the inside story and have not yet determined whether to attack Kyoto. Please don't worry, Your Majesty."

"Maybe it's just a misunderstanding, and Lord Oda called us together for an open-air barbecue."

After hearing this answer, the old emperor, who was usually good at forbearance, was so angry that he couldn't sleep well that night.

So disgusting!
"Your Majesty, this Oda Nobunaga is a traitor, and everyone knows what Sima Zhao is thinking!"

A counselor wearing a feather fan and a robe said cautiously: "For now, we might as well follow the example of Zhang Liang, the Marquis of Liu, and send a ninjutsu master to perform the Bolang attack!"

"You have learned the Han Chinese stories quite well."

The old emperor glanced at the counselor and said coldly.

It seems like this bastard is also a member of the royal family. How shameful.

"It's... not bad."

"It's just paper talk! It's stupid!"

"what?"

"If Oda Nobunaga was so easy to kill, he would have died long ago!"

"Besides, now that Igali has been basically killed by the Oda family, and Kogali and Fumali have expressed their loyalty to Oda Nobunaga, what's the use of the remaining group of useless ninjas?"

The old emperor said angrily: "If I really want to do something dirty, it will just give Oda Nobunaga an excuse. I'm afraid I won't live for more than three days."

Although he is always obsessed with playing the pig and eating the tiger, he likes to be a turtle when he has nothing to do.

When he went out occasionally, he would bring a large number of guards with him, pretending to be a coward who was afraid of death.

But his real strength is far beyond those swordsmen and generals.

Even if he met Kamiizumi Nobunaga and the God of Boxing, the old emperor was confident that he could kill the opponent within ten moves.

The shrewd old emperor even made long-term plans.

He planned to kill several daimyo one by one within 20 years, abolish the shogunate system, and restore power to the royal family.

Turns out plans are not as good as changes!

During these few years, Oda Nobunaga's dazzling operations completely ruined his plans.

The soldiers were very disrespectful and laid siege to the city, not giving him any chance to act.

The old emperor suspected that he had been pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger for so long that Oda Nobunaga really thought of him as a pig.

What's even more disgusting is that if Oda Nobunaga felt that he had become fat, he would want to kill him and eat his meat.

I don't have any good solution yet...

"Your Japanese boss, General Oda, is here to see you, why don't you open the door for me!"

Just at this moment, a frivolous voice of a young man was heard, echoing inside and outside the palace.

"Ok?"

The old emperor was startled and looked in the direction of the voice.

"Forget it, stop hesitating, I'll drive it myself."

The visitor seemed a little impatient and punched the palace gate.

With a violent roar, the entire door exploded into pieces, and sharp wood chips shot out like flying knives.

Suddenly, the guards behind the door fell to the ground, bleeding and wailing.

"Shut up, sir!"

Behind the door stood a green-robed warrior wearing armor.

Seeing the miserable state of the guards, the green-robed warrior cursed softly and drew out a strangely shaped sword.

Then, with lightning speed, he hit the injured and wailing guard hard on the head.

The guards all showed confused expressions at the same time, rolled their eyes, and fainted.

"It's quiet now."

The green-robed warrior stretched and said, "Boss Oda, go in and meet your old and immortal emperor."

"Lance, you have too much energy. You're almost as energetic as Toukichirou."

The thin middle-aged man patted the monkey on his shoulder and strode into the broken palace gate.

The monkey held a few pine cones in his hands, laughed shrilly a few times, and enjoyed the eating very much.

Behind Oda Nobunaga followed a gloomy-looking scholar and a rough-looking military general.

These are Akechi Mitsuhide and Shibata Katsuie, two of the famous "Four Heavenly Kings of Oda".

Akechi Mitsuhide had an indifferent expression and showed no emotion.

Shibata Katsuie has a tough temperament, with bulging muscles all over his body, and he looks like he has over-exercised.

The three of them casually glanced at the half-dead guards around them and walked forward without stopping.

"I've been so bored lately and I can't find a way to relieve my boredom."

Lance scratched his head and said, "After the general defeated the demons from another world, only a bunch of weaklings were left in Japan. I've had enough!"

"Really?"

Oda Nobunaga glanced at Lance lazily and did not refute.

"Well, the general is certainly not weak. The Xiao Sanxiao I met a while ago was also quite powerful."

"The one-eyed dragon and his nine-tailed fox wife are also considered experts."

"As for the little girl from the Uesugi family, the old pervert from the Mori family, and the armored man from the Takeda family, I can also pay attention to them."

Lance scratched his head again and smiled innocently: "Except for you guys, everyone else is trash."

"..."

Akechi Mitsuhide and Shibata Katsuie looked at each other with somewhat ugly expressions.

But looking at Oda Nobunaga's back...

The two men calmed down immediately and quickly suppressed their murderous intent.

Oda Nobunaga was too powerful.

Two years ago, Fujiyoshiro broke the gourd that sealed the Tenshi Sect, and the demon named "Chabiel" in the prophecy appeared in the world, intending to summon his apostles to destroy Japan.

As a result, the opponent's nearly indestructible demon soul was easily devoured by Oda Nobunaga, and the apostle of the demon world also became a demon puppet of the Oda family.

The two believed that even the legendary Onmyoji Abe Haruaki did not possess such strength.

Thinking of Oda Nobunaga's promise, both of them felt like they were witnessing history.

"When the catastrophe comes, the basic balance must still be followed. In addition to these people, there are also some masters."

Oda Nobunaga showed a playful smile and said lightly: "Besides, you are disrespectful to the emperor."

"That stupid, weak old man?"

Lance curled his lips: "Who the hell is he? Is he worthy of being polite to him?"

"What you said does make some sense."

Oda Nobunaga thought for a moment and said, "When we conquer the Central Plains, I will give you Japan, and you can be the emperor for fun."

"No need, just let me choose all the beauties from Japan."

Lance laughed: "In my eyes, the position of the Emperor is no different from dog shit."

"It's a word."

Oda Nobunaga nodded and walked into the main hall of the Japanese Imperial Palace, Matsu no Kaku.

"Your Majesty, the Grand Minister and Shogun Oda Nobunaga has arrived at Matsu no Kaku, and I order you... to go there as soon as possible."

In a moment, several servants hurriedly ran up to the castle tower.

"Barbarians, what barbarians!"

The old emperor was so angry that he was shaking all over: "Oda Nobunaga, you have deceived me like this, you deserve to die!"

The green-robed warrior seemed to be practicing some weird stuff like fighting qi, not an internal power system.

As a result, the old emperor couldn't tell the other party's cultivation level.

Well, since he can blow up the palace gate with one punch, his strength should be at the level of a swordsman.

But how dare a mere swordsman run to the palace and shout loudly?

I really don't know how to live or die!

You should know that the Emperor of Japan is said to be a descendant of Amaterasu and her representative on earth.

Imperial power is divine power!

The other party's action is tantamount to disrespect to Amaterasu!

"Oh, Sima Yi didn't learn, but chose to learn from Erzhu Rong."

Thinking of this, the old emperor snorted coldly, with murderous intent flashing in his eyes.

He has been planning carefully for twenty years and has some experts around him.

And in the palace's home turf, we have the best timing, location and people!

There are only four people on the other side. What is there to worry about?
***
Pine Pavilion

"Come on down, let's chat. You don't need to serve us."

Akechi Mitsuhide pointed to the door and said, "If the Emperor comes, just let him in."

"Yes, General!"

Several maids quickly served tea and sake, bowed and left.

The image of Oda Nobunaga among the people has always been that of tyranny and killing.

Now, he has even ordered his army to march to the gates of Kyoto, openly slapping the emperor in the face. This is extremely lawless!

Although these maids were somewhat curious about Oda Nobunaga.

But at this time, I don't want to have anything to do with him.

After all, this isn’t a domineering president novel.

We all have only one life, no one has too many...

"Nobunaga, why is that old dog so slow? He hasn't come in a while."

Lance put his feet on the armrest of the chair in a very ungraceful manner: "Is your reputation useless?"

"The Emperor is old, so it's understandable that he's a little slow."

Oda Nobunaga smiled coldly: "Besides, with such a good opportunity, he must be well prepared before coming to see us."

"What good opportunity? A good opportunity to flatter you?"

Lance yawned. "What's there to prepare? Are you planning to keep us for dinner?"

"Can't you think about things a little more occasionally?"

Akechi Mitsuhide was stunned for a moment and sighed helplessly.

"There are so many people who can help me think about things."

Lance waved his hand in a grand manner: "Since there is no shortage of smart people, I will just be in charge of chopping people up, that's all."

"Lance is right."

Shibata Katsuie was silent for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

This is an extraordinary dimension. No matter what conspiracy or intrigue everyone engages in, in the end everyone has to rely on their own military force.

There is nothing in the world that I can rely on, and the only one I can rely on is me!
"So if that old guy doesn't listen, there's no need to scheme against him."

"If it were me, I would just give that old guy a knife and see if he would drop gold coins."

Lance picked up a piece of cherry cake served to guests and started to eat it.

Just after taking a bite, he spat the cherry cake on the ground with a "Pah" sound and a look of bad luck on his face. "Huh? Is this cake poisonous?"

Akechi Mitsuhide frowned slightly: "Is this old emperor so bold?"

"Haha! If you are strong enough, what are you afraid of poison?"

Shibata Katsuie sneered, grabbed a few pieces of cherry cake and stuffed them into his mouth: "Even if you are afraid, you should be afraid of us!"

"This cake is not poisonous. Fujikichiro just ate a piece of it."

Oda Nobunaga glanced at Lance casually: "What's wrong?"

"Wait a moment!"

Lance rinsed his mouth with sake and spat it on the ground: "Damn it! What the hell is this? Not even a bit of meat! Even a dog wouldn't eat it!"

"..."

Akechi Mitsuhide's cheek twitched and he subconsciously looked at Shibata Katsuie.

The latter was staring blankly at the half-eaten sakuramochi in his hand, lost in thought.

A few seconds later, Shibata Katsuie crushed the sakuramochi in his hand into powder, his face turning pale.

"His Majesty the Emperor has arrived!"

Just then, footsteps were heard and the voice of the ceremonial officer diluted the awkward atmosphere.

"Oda Nobunaga greets His Majesty the Emperor!"

Oda Nobunaga stood up nonchalantly and said calmly.

"Hahahaha, General Oda, how are you?"

The door opened, and the old emperor, surrounded by more than a dozen ceremonial officials, slowly walked into the Matsu Pavilion.

"Your Majesty is still as strong as ever."

"Hahaha, I'm already old and frail, how can I be strong and healthy?"

The old emperor turned his eyes and asked with a smile, "What is the matter, General?"

"Since His Majesty the Emperor has asked, I will not hide it."

Oda Nobunaga smiled and said, "I will order the daimyo from all over the country to gather 150,000 troops outside Kyoto. I wonder if His Majesty the Emperor knows about this?"

“…I know.”

The old emperor almost rolled his eyes and said reluctantly.

He is not blind, so he can see it naturally!

"Your Majesty, do you know what I am planning to do by gathering my army here?"

"...I really don't know, please tell me, General."

The old emperor looked around, with a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.

"Haha, does His Majesty the Emperor think that I am here to force him to abdicate?"

Oda Nobunaga laughed and said, "Your Majesty has misunderstood. If he wanted to force the emperor to abdicate, why would he need so many troops?"

"Haha, the General is right!"

The old emperor was so angry that his chest was suffocated. He forced a smile and said, "Even if the general came alone, I would not dare to disobey him."

"These troops are the elite troops of the daimyo from various places, and they will be setting out soon."

"Gathering outside the capital city of Kyoto, I just want to hold a swearing-in ceremony."

Oda Nobunaga said indifferently: "We have no intention of disturbing the people of Kyoto, so we did not enter the city."

"Going to war?"

The old emperor grasped the key point: "Japan is already in the general's hands. Where are you going to conquer with this army of more than 100,000?"

"Korea has been at peace for a long time, and its military preparations have been relaxed."

"And the court was plagued by constant factional strife and infighting, and was extremely corrupt."

Oda Nobunaga smiled and said, "We must destroy them!"

"Goryeo?"

The old emperor frowned and said, "The general is a rare talent. Goryeo is naturally nothing to be afraid of, but Goryeo is a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty. I am worried..."

"If it weren't for the Ming Dynasty, I wouldn't even bother to attack Goryeo."

"Ok?"

"The fortune of the Ming Dynasty has risen sharply in the past two years. It should be that a master has made a move and planned the world."

"Now that the great catastrophe of the millennium has begun, it is a great opportunity to destroy the Ming Dynasty."

"Korea is very close to Japan. We can cross the country by sea from Kyushu Island."

"After conquering Goryeo, we can use it as a supply point and move south to destroy Ming in one fell swoop!"

Oda Nobunaga smiled and said, "In a few years, we will send troops from the Ming Dynasty to conquer Rakshasa and the Nordic countries, and then we can rule the world for a thousand years."

"This..., the general's ambition is unparalleled in the history!"

The old emperor hesitated, pretending to be concerned: "It's just 150,000 troops. Is it enough to attack the Ming Dynasty?"

The old emperor was already delighted.

After the emergence of the shogunate, the emperor has always been a puppet mascot.

Although the old emperor had some experts under his command, they were just a drop in the bucket.

Even if he racked his brains, he could only raise an army of 20,000 to 30,000 at most.

It is simply wishful thinking to want to take back the dominant position in Japan.

But if Oda Nobunaga led his army to conquer Goryeo...

Doesn't that mean Japan is empty?
At this time, tens of thousands of people mean a lot!

God is helping me!

Thinking of this, the old emperor almost jumped up with excitement.

I wish Oda Nobunaga would get out of here as soon as possible.

"Soldiers are more valuable than finesse."

"Besides, since the fate of the day is in my hands, I will take advantage of the great catastrophe and annihilate the Han people, who are a hundred times more numerous, as easily as taking something out of a bag."

Oda Nobunaga smiled and said, "Your Majesty, don't you believe it?"

"Trust, trust, trust!"

The old emperor was delighted: "Since the general is so confident, I wish the general a successful start and the destruction of the Ming Dynasty in one fell swoop."

Although he had also heard of the great catastrophe that would last for thousands of years.

But those were just fragments of words spoken by Shennin and the others, just like the Riddler.

The old emperor didn't take it seriously.

Besides, the number of people under the old emperor's command is not even as large as that of any peasant uprising in the Central Plains.

I never thought that I could go and destroy the Ming Dynasty.

Are you looking for trouble?
Therefore, his goal has always been to become the true emperor of Japan.

The meal must be eaten one bite at a time, and the road must be walked step by step.

Don't aim too high!

"Thank you for your congratulations, Your Majesty."

Oda Nobunaga nodded and said, "Although the destiny lies with Japan this time, there is still a key thing missing to promote the catastrophe. I hope Your Majesty will help me."

"Yes, yes, General, just say whatever you want. As long as I have it, I will not be stingy."

The old emperor nodded repeatedly: "General, are you worried about the lack of military funds? My royal family's savings over the generations can also be used to help you in an emergency."

"Your Majesty is wise!"

Oda Nobunaga smiled and said, "The Immortal Sword has been kept by the royal family for generations. Please hand it over to me."

"The Immortal Sword? This is the divine weapon used by Amaterasu in the past. It has the power to create the world. It is the treasure of our country, Japan!"

The old emperor's eyelids jumped: "You want to borrow this knife?"

"Yes, but not by loan."

Oda Nobunaga said calmly: "After I take it away, I won't be able to pay it back."

"what?!"

"The Thousand Years will never be destroyed, and the great calamity will be merciless!"

Oda Nobunaga's expression remained unchanged: "If the 'Ruthless Sword' is revealed, it will mean that the great catastrophe of the millennium has entered its most critical stage."

"What does the Merciless Blade you mentioned have to do with the Immortal Blade?"

"Wuqing takes Qianqiu as his god, and his body inherits the sword world; his immortal body is his body, and his god shines immortally; his heart is the great catastrophe, and his devilish thoughts are unified!"

"Therefore, this weapon requires the divine weapons of the three realms of 'God, Demon, and Spirit' to be fused into one."

"In the past six months, I have worked very hard to obtain the 'Qianqiu Sword' and the 'Dajie Knife'."

"Now, with the addition of the Immortal Sword that your Majesty treasures, we can accomplish our mission!"

Oda Nobunaga said proudly: "With ruthlessness in my hands, I am destiny!"

"No! This sword has been suppressing the fortune of Japan. If it is destroyed, evil spirits will appear in all places, and the Japanese people will be killed or injured by more than one million people!"

The old emperor flatly refused and said: "When the time comes, no matter what the fate of the great catastrophe is, Japan will be flooded with blood!"

"so what?"

"Wha...what?"

"I am only here to get the Immortal Sword, not to discuss this with Your Majesty."

Oda Nobunaga said coldly: "I am only responsible for promoting the great catastrophe of the millennium to destroy the Ming Dynasty. Even if all the people of Japan die, what does it have to do with me?"

"You! You've been possessed by a demon!"

The old emperor took a deep breath, his eyes full of murderous intent: "Capture them!"

"Yes!"

The many ceremonial officials behind the old emperor burst out with astonishing momentum at the same time.

The sword light fell to the ground like a meteor, and the shuriken tore through the sky.

These ceremonial officers were either great swordsmen or jonin.

Everyone has an extraordinary cultivation.

"Amitabha! Why did your majesty rebel?"

A clear boy's voice was heard, and a little monk in white robes and golden robes suddenly appeared in front of the old emperor.

It was as if the wind from the entire world, carrying with it an unimaginable terrifying pressure, poured into the hall out of nowhere.

Screams continued to sound.

No matter they were sword masters or jonin, they were all lifted up by the strong wind and smashed against the walls of the hall, breaking bones and tendons.

The majestic and magnificent main hall of the imperial palace shook violently a few times, and there were also sounds of shattering under the weight!
"Ikkyu Sojun!"

The old emperor was horrified: "You, you! This Oda Nobunaga has repeatedly destroyed Buddhism and is known as the 'enemy of Buddhism'. Are you helping him?"

"Amitabha! All sentient beings have Buddha nature, and all sentient beings can become Buddhas!"

"Now the great general is so kind and righteous, so wise and brave that even the Buddha admires him and regards him as a fellow believer and confidant."

Ikkyu sighed, and a golden Buddha light appeared on his body, making him look majestic and solemn: "Your Majesty is deeply trapped in the sea of ​​suffering. Don't be stubborn and learn more from the general."

"you!"

The old emperor was furious: "Oda Nobunaga, you claim to be the 'enemy of Buddhism', but you actually colluded with the Buddhist sect in private. You are simply ambitious!"

"I am indeed an enemy of Buddha, but Buddhism is not a good thing either. Since Tathagata can't do anything to me, he has no choice but to cooperate with me."

"You too! I am only giving Amaterasu a favor. Do you really think I dare not destroy your mere royal family?"

Oda Nobunaga said coldly: "The time is almost here, bring me the Immortal Sword."

"Ah! Yes, yes! I obey your orders!"

The old emperor screamed, his eyes turned blood red, and his expression was dazed.

In an instant, he lost all consciousness and became a demon puppet.

"……Amitabha!"

Ikkyu subconsciously glanced at Oda Nobunaga, closed his eyes and chanted Buddhist mantras.

"Lord!"

Ten breaths later, the old emperor knelt in front of Oda Nobunaga, holding an extremely sharp sword.

"Well done. Now that we have the Immortal Blade, let's go."

"Akechi Mitsuhide, Shibata Katsuie, now that the three sacred artifacts have been gathered, you are responsible for supervising this matter and start forging swords directly."

Oda Nobunaga said proudly: "In seven days, I will swear an expedition with my ruthless sword."

"Well... we can forge the sword together. But when the Merciless Sword is born, it must be unsealed with the blood of an unrivaled master."

"Now that the Immortal Sword is destroyed, all the suppressed demons and monsters will be revealed..."

Oda Nobunaga said calmly: "In that case, I will kill the Yamata no Orochi and use its blood to open the seal, how about that?"

"That's enough, that's enough..."

Akechi Mitsuhide shrank his head and said quickly.

"So be it."

Oda Nobunaga nodded, and his body turned into a puff of black mist and disappeared into thin air.

"Get to work! Don't let anything go wrong and use us two as sacrifices first."

Shibata Katsuie took the Immortal Sword with a serious expression and left side by side with Akechi Mitsuhide.

"A bunch of inhuman guys, all wanting to interfere with the great calamity of the human race..."

Lance was silent for a moment, then he grinned and said, "This is starting to get interesting!"
