Two Realms: Don't call me evil!

After more than 10,000 Sakura Country soldiers were tragically killed and buried in Wakayama Prefecture, the entire Sakura Country's political arena and people were shocked.

The opposition parties began to frantically criticize officials such as Saionji and Ito, accusing them of poor performance and causing such a tragedy.

The people were also very dissatisfied, and the families of the dead and injured Sakura Country soldiers demanded an apology and compensation from the government. A huge wave of public opinion swept across the country, demanding that the government immediately deal with the monsters entrenched in Wakayama Prefecture to prevent them from returning to the sea and threatening other coastal areas.

The top leaders of the Sakura Country were overwhelmed. Such huge casualties could not be covered up at all.

Then the pressure was further passed on to the military and fell on Sakura Defense Minister Hideaki Sugiyama.

For this purpose, Sugiyama Hideaki put aside his status and came to Wakayama Prefecture in person.

At this time, there were more than 30,000 soldiers from the Sakura Country gathered in Wakayama County, but they no longer dared to enter Wakayama County, fearing that the powerful sea monsters in the city center had already been killed.

"We must take over Geshan County within three days. I don't care how you do it."

Recalling the mandatory order given to him by Saionji Ito before he left, Sugiyama Hideaki looked sternly at the senior officers present and ordered coldly: "Launch a new round of offensive against Kakayama Prefecture. No matter how many casualties there are, I just want to see the city return to our hands."

"There are more than a dozen Overlord-level monsters in Wakayama County."

The group of officers and staff present looked embarrassed. The so-called overlord-level monsters were a simple classification of monsters in Wakayama Prefecture by the Sakura Country. The Sakura Country called monsters over 50 meters overlord-level, those over 20 meters large, those over 10 meters medium, and those under 5 meters small.

Seeing the expressions of these officers, Sugiyama Hideaki's face was grim, and he continued: "I allow you to use all heavy firepower. The military will no longer restrict weapons in this area."

When the many officers at the scene heard this, their eyes suddenly lit up.

Obviously, although Sugiyama Hideaki did not say clearly what happened to the survivors in the city, and it was not easy to say such things clearly, everyone understood Sugiyama Hideaki's subtext, which was to let them ignore the survivors in the city and open fire to bombard Wakayama Prefecture. By then, there would definitely be survivors who would be accidentally injured or even killed by their own firepower.

In this case, the army can launch a major counterattack against Wakayama Prefecture.

If there is enough heavy firepower, with artillery, air force and missile forces working together, even if there are some powerful sea monsters in Wakayama Prefecture, they will be of no use. The reason why Wakayama Prefecture could not be taken down before was entirely because the military was not allowed to use heavy weapons.

"Yes, we will definitely take over Geshan County within three days."

The officers on the scene were confident and their morale was high.

Soon, the Sakura Country army organized a new round of offensive against Wakayama Prefecture.

The first to break the sinking was the artillery bombardment of Wakayama Prefecture by the Sakura Country artillery.

Artillery pieces were lined up outside the city, including self-propelled howitzers, towed howitzers, and multiple rocket launchers.

With an order, thousands of artillery pieces fired at the same time, and heavy shells fell into Goyama Prefecture. Based on the intelligence obtained by the Air Force reconnaissance, fierce bombardment was launched on the area where monsters were densely populated.

In an instant, the city was filled with flames, smoke, and collapsed buildings.

Many sea monsters only heard a sharp whistling sound, and then a flash of fire appeared before their eyes, and their huge bodies were torn into pieces, with their limbs and arms blown away by the shock wave.

Humanity’s powerful thermal weapons, especially heavy firepower, are so powerful that most distorted sea monsters simply cannot withstand this level of bombardment.

A 155mm shell can smash a tank weighing dozens of tons, and it only takes one shot to deal with most deformed monsters.

What followed was an attack from the air force.

In the center of Wakayama County, there are about a dozen octopus monsters and spider crab monsters with a body length of tens of meters. They stand out among the deformed sea monsters and have the highest genetic stability, blood concentration, and mutation intensity. Each of them has grown to this size by devouring and killing many of its own kind. They are also called overlord-level sea monsters by the Sakura Country.

More than 10,000 Sakura Country soldiers who died in Wakayama Prefecture were destroyed by the attacks of these overlord-level sea monsters.

call!
An oppressive whistling sound was heard from the sky above Wakayama Prefecture. A team of F35 fighter jets flew high in the sky, and several napalm bombs were dropped into Yufeng Square in the city center.

In an instant, flames shot up into the sky and blazing flames burned fiercely in Yufeng Square.

The large amount of white spider silk and densely packed small spiders that were originally there suddenly sizzled under the fire from the napalm bomb and soon turned into charcoal.

Boom!

The ground opened up, and a fifty-meter-tall spider crab sea monster crawled out. Seeing its child suffering such a tragic plight, it immediately let out an angry roar.

But then, several air-to-ground missiles were dropped. The highly explosive missiles were extremely powerful and landed accurately on the spider crab sea monster.

In just a moment, most of the body of the spider crab sea monster was blown to pieces, blood and internal organs were all over the ground, and it died on the spot.

No matter how powerful your self-healing ability is, it will be useless if your body is blown to pieces!
The spider crab sea monster, which would have only suffered minor injuries under the tank's main gun bombardment, was now killed by several consecutive missiles.

After all, a tank shell weighs only 20 to 30 kilograms, while the TNT in a missile alone weighs 400 to 500 kilograms. There is absolutely no comparison, and the power is incomparable.

The fighter jets were flying at high altitudes. Even though some sea monsters had the ability to fly, they could not keep up with the speed of the fighter jets and were quickly eliminated by air-to-air missiles and ground-based air defense firepower.

The air force fighters that pose no threat can output firepower unscrupulously. Relying on the advantage of air supremacy, they can launch precise missile strikes on any overlord-level sea monsters that appear and are tens of meters in size, destroying them in the first place and creating favorable conditions for the advancement of ground forces.

After several hours of bombing by the air force and artillery, the ground forces of the Sakura Country began to enter Wakayama Prefecture, mainly with large numbers of armored vehicles and tanks, with armed helicopters flying overhead.

When facing armored forces, those ordinary small and medium-sized monsters find it difficult to break through the powerful firepower network and threaten these steel monsters.

As for the large monsters and overlord-level monsters, they were also dealt with by missile troops and the air force. The entire advancement was many times smoother and easier than before.

On the contrary, those small and micro monsters mostly hide in city buildings and their whereabouts are strange. It is impossible for the Sakura Country army to flatten every building in Wakayama Prefecture, so they will eventually need to send troops in to explore and search.

At this time, close combat is bound to occur, causing heavy casualties to the Sakura Country soldiers in the street fighting.

However, relying on their numerical advantage, the Sakura Country army still captured the streets of Wakayama Prefecture layer by layer, and their powerful firepower swept away all enemies in front of them.

However, the only consequence of this fire bombing was that many buildings in Wakayama Prefecture were riddled with holes, and the entire city became a war zone. There were also a large number of Sakura Country survivors hiding in Wakayama Prefecture who suffered heavy casualties from the artillery and air strikes of the Sakura Country army.

However, just as the Sakura Country army was advancing and retaking most of Wakayama Prefecture, a document arrived from Tokyo.

All attacking Sakura Country troops were ordered to stop advancing and instead blockade Wakayama Prefecture to prevent any sea monster from escaping.

This order puzzled the soldiers from the Sakura Country. They could obviously recapture the entire Wakayama Prefecture soon, so why should they stop at this critical moment?

But as a large number of soldiers in military uniforms, with blond hair and blue eyes, and either white or black skin, rushed to Wakayama Prefecture and began to take over the defense line of the Sakura Country soldiers, all the Sakura Country soldiers suddenly realized and became furious.

All these new soldiers have a title, called American troops stationed in Sakura.

As a defeated country in World War II, the Sakura Country is the country with the largest number of American overseas troops. A total of about 113 American soldiers are stationed in the Sakura Country, deploying the Seventh Fleet, the Fifth Air Force, the Third Marine Corps, etc., with as many as military bases.

After these soldiers from the Beautiful Country arrived in Goyama County, they immediately drove away the soldiers from the Sakura Country and only asked them to do some odd jobs. Then they began to block the entire Goyama County, not allowing the deformed sea monsters inside to escape, nor allowing the survivors from the Sakura Country to come out.

The U.S. military surrounded the entire Wakayama Prefecture, brought in a large number of experimental instruments and research equipment, and established an institution called Wakayama Prefecture Biological Research Institute nearby.

It is obvious that the United States intends to treat Wakayama Prefecture as a sea monster biosphere and research laboratory to study the secrets of sea monsters, completely disregarding the lives of the Sakura people in Wakayama Prefecture.

Naturally, this move caused quite a stir in the international community and was met with a barrage of criticism at home, so the Sakura government could only hold a Q&A session for journalists.

Prime Minister Ito Saionji attended the question-and-answer session in person and invited the commander of the United States in the Sakura Country, Fro Hernandez, to attend as well.

"Mr. Smith, I am truly sorry for the tragedy that occurred in Wakayama Prefecture. As the Prime Minister, I failed to protect the lives of the people. I am truly sorry."

As soon as he appeared, the Prime Minister of the Sakura Country, Saionji Ito, bowed three times in a row. Under the spotlights of countless reporters, he bowed for three minutes.

This question-and-answer session was broadcast live across the country of Sakura. Many people in Sakura watched this scene on TV, and their anger towards Saionji Ito was reduced a lot.

After all, Saionji Ito has already apologized, so what else can he do?

"Mr. Prime Minister, Goyama County is now controlled by the U.S. military. Have you secretly reached some dirty agreement with the U.S. that is not visible to the public, completely disregarding the lives of your own people and allowing the U.S. to do whatever it wants in Goyama County?"

When it came to the question-and-answer session, a French reporter couldn't wait to stand up.

Saionji Ito's face turned dark. He really thought that he was willing to do this, but he didn't even look at the status of the Beautiful Country in the Sakura Country. Even if he wanted to refuse, he had to be able to do it.

Of course, you can't answer like this verbally.

"Misunderstanding, this is all misunderstanding. The reason why we invited the United States to settle in Wakayama County is entirely because the United States' military strength is stronger and can guarantee security. At the same time, the United States' scientific research strength is world-class. With their help, we will be able to find out the secrets of these sea monsters as soon as possible."

Saionji Ito said confidently, finding a perfect excuse for his behavior.

"Wakayama Prefecture has not been completely recovered. There are still a large number of Sakura citizens in it. I saw a video uploaded by survivors of Wakayama Prefecture online. They said that the U.S. military did not rescue them and prevented them from leaving Wakayama Prefecture, making them food for the monsters."

Another reporter stood up, this time he was from the Bear Country.

The commander of the United States stationed in Sakura Country, Fro Hernandez, picked up the microphone and said calmly: "This statement is pure slander. We have detected that the Sakura people in Goyama County have been infected with an unknown virus due to long-term contact with sea monsters. If they are allowed to come out and are not properly controlled, it will lead to the destruction of lives.

So, out of necessity, our army chose to assist the Sakura Country Self-Defense Forces in blocking Wakayama Prefecture first.

In addition, several new isolation camps are under construction near Geshan County. We will regularly airdrop daily necessities to Geshan County. There are very few sea monsters left in the city, and they will not threaten the safety of the survivors inside. Once the isolation camps are built, we can transfer the survivors of Geshan County into them. If there are no problems at that time, we will naturally let them return to normal life. "

After hearing what Flo Hernandez said, many reporters at the scene had a big question mark on their heads.

"Isolation camp? Why does it sound so familiar?"

"You forgot that the Jake Group used this trick against the squids two years ago."

"Oh my goodness, why do I feel so familiar? The Jake Group used the zombie virus to isolate the squid people, and the United States used the sea monster virus to isolate the Sakura people. The world is really a cycle!"

The reporters in the audience were whispering to each other, with strange looks on their faces.

The tactics that the Jeko Group once used on the Squid Country were used by the Beautiful Country on the Sakura Country. Apart from anything else, the two countries really have some kind of tacit understanding in this regard.

There were also reporters sent by the Jeco Group in the audience, who were looking at Flor Hernandez speechlessly.

It’s bad, the beautiful country has taught me real skills.

In the past, the JEC Group always followed the lead of the Eagle Sauce, but today they didn’t expect to be touched by the Eagle Sauce.

"I have a question. The Wakayama incident was said to be caused by the discharge of nuclear wastewater by your country, Sakura. A research institute has confirmed that excessive amounts of nuclear material were detected on the sea monster's body. When will Sakura stop discharging nuclear wastewater?"

The reporter from the JEC Group took the microphone and asked questions that many people were concerned about.

"The discharge of nuclear wastewater has nothing to do with the sea monster this time. The specific reason for the appearance of the sea monster is still to be investigated and confirmed. Once the specific details are studied, we will fully announce them to the outside world."

Saionji Ito denied it without thinking. Not to mention that it was not certain yet that they were the cause of the sea monster attack. Even if it was true, they could not admit it. That would make Sakura Country criticized by the international community. Even Sakura Country would blame the authorities and him as the prime minister. After all, the casualties in Wakayama Prefecture were there. Once he admitted it, it would mean that he would be fully responsible for the sea monster attack in Wakayama Prefecture.

Seeing the shameless face of Saionji Ito, many reporters in the audience did not believe it at all, but since he refused to admit it, there was nothing they could do.

After the Q&A session, the sea monster incident did not end there. Countries around the world began to send people to explore the truth behind the sea monsters, curious about how these sea monsters appeared.

A week later!

In the waters around the Ogasawara Island, an ocean-going research vessel flying the flag of the United States is sailing, accompanied by two warships of the United States.

The research ship brings together the United States' top biological experts, paleontologists, microbiologists, and even ancient history experts.

These are all the world's top experts. Most of them were invited by the United States. Of course, these experts themselves are also very interested in this.

The sea monster incident in Wakayama Prefecture has caused a lot of controversy. This new species of sea monster has completely aroused the curiosity of these experts.

Many people believe that this is a major discovery that will go down in history. If we can find out the secrets of these sea monsters, perhaps humans will be able to make rapid progress in the fields of science and technology and biology.

"The locator is still working. The bait fish's location is 27183.13551."

"The sonar system is working normally and no unusual signals were detected."

"The baitfish's navigation path map will be sent back to headquarters."

Inside the research vessel, a large number of people are busy working.

“Keep tracking the baitfish and don’t lose sight of them.”

An old man with gray hair but full of energy, looking at the sea chart very attentively, spoke.

Her name is Viola Bailey. She is one of the world's top marine biologists. She has discovered dozens of new marine species. She has knowledge of large ocean currents, species distribution, microorganisms, geology, and marine botany. She is also the chief scientist of this team.

What Viola is doing now is tracking a bait fish. The so-called bait fish is actually a sea monster, a medium-sized sea monster.

After taking control of Wakayama Prefecture, the United States immediately joined the research on sea monsters.

The United States took a large number of sea monster carcasses in the city for dissection and research, and also captured a number of living ones.

Through research, scientists in the United States discovered that these sea monsters were indeed mutated from ordinary marine organisms. Most of their genes matched the characteristics of marine organisms, and a large amount of nuclear material residues were detected in their body tissues.

The most important thing is that the blood, flesh and even genes of these sea monsters contain some substances and genomes that they do not understand and are completely unknown.

These strange blood substances and genomes seem to be the reason for the appearance of sea monsters.

The United States specially extracted special blood substances from these sea monsters and tried to inject them into the human body. As a result, the prisoners used for the experiment died on the spot.

However, this also made the United States feel ecstatic. Just because it is not possible now does not mean it will not be possible in the future. If they can figure out this blood substance, they may be able to purify it and develop a version suitable for the human body and use it on humans. Even the senior officials and chaebols in the United States have already fantasized about using this method to strengthen their physique and increase their lifespan.

Some people also suggested that if this blood substance can strengthen the human body, why does it sound so similar to the genetic warriors of the Jeko Group?

Sea monsters possess many unique abilities, and genetic warriors also have various special abilities due to physical mutations.

Later, some people speculated whether the Jeko Group was the mastermind behind the sea monster incident.

However, this proposal was quickly overturned.

Because the United States once had some flesh and blood remains of genetic warriors, it has done a lot of research on the existence of genetic warriors.

Although the United States cannot breed genetic warriors on its own, it knows that genetic warriors have insect-like genes in their bodies. Combined with the insect farms under the control of the Jeko Group, the United States believes that the Jeko Group breeds genetic warriors from insects and has nothing to do with the ocean.

Moreover, by comparison, there is no commonality in the substances in the bodies of genetic warriors and sea monsters.

Having ruled out the suspicion of the Jeko Group, the United States has further aroused its interest. Perhaps they can develop a genetic warrior that is comparable to or even surpasses the genetic warriors of the Jeko Group and create the existence of mutants.

However, after the death of the sea monsters in Wakayama Prefecture, even if their bodies are preserved at low temperatures, that special substance and genome will quickly dissipate and collapse. Therefore, in addition to research, the United States especially cherishes the existing sea monsters in Wakayama Prefecture. These are the only source for studying that kind of strange blood substance. The United States is reluctant to kill the sea monsters in Wakayama Prefecture and protects them like giant pandas.

At the same time, scientists are asked to find out the causes of the mutations of these marine organisms.

To this end, scientists placed locators in some mutated sea monsters, released them back into the sea, and then tracked their movements.

Many marine creatures have migratory characteristics and will return to their birthplaces to mate and reproduce. By tracking these mutated sea monsters, perhaps these marine creatures will return to the sea areas that caused them to mutate.

The research ship in front of us is one of the ones sent by the United States. There are many similar research ships.

"Mr. Viola, is this really useful? We have been floating on the sea for three whole days."

At the side, a U.S. military officer with the rank of colonel spoke up. His name was Elle Wilson, and he came on behalf of the U.S. government.

"At least this is the solution that we can most easily see success. No one can guarantee success in scientific research. Sometimes a little luck is the key to success or failure. Now it depends on whether we can win the bet on luck."

Viola shrugged, pointed at the signal data sent back by the locator, and said, "We have worked so hard and have come to this point. I will not be satisfied if we don't find an answer."

Hearing this childish joke, Eller spread his hands and said, "Okay, you're an expert, I'll listen to you."

Viola smiled, looked at the biting sea breeze and the endless blue ocean outside, and suddenly said, "Believe me, I have a hunch that we may be approaching the truth now."

"Premonition? Can such a thing be reliable?"

Eyler felt helpless. In his opinion, scientific research was a serious and meticulous matter. How could it be attributed to the illusory sixth sense?

"I'm quite lucky."

Viola didn't say much, just stared at the sea condition data on the electronic screen.

More than an hour passed and it was lunch time. Just as Viola was about to go to lunch, an excited voice suddenly came from the boat.

"Report, the bait fish has stopped moving and is diving towards the seabed, at a depth of 500 meters, 1000 meters, or 1500 meters."

boom!
As soon as the news came out, there was a sensation on the ship and all the scientists gathered around.

"Maybe it found its way home."

Viola's eyes were full of excitement. She patted Eller's shoulder and laughed, "What did I say? I've always had good luck."

"you are right."

Eller gave him a thumbs up.

"Where is the bait fish located? Be specific."

Olvera demanded, pushing her way to the front of the crowd.

The employee who managed the locator looked up and said, "Here. This is the Mariana Trench!" (End of this chapter)
