I planted a sacred tree in Tokyo.

Chapter 784 Departure, A New Battlefield

Adachi Ward, Tokyo.

"You're going to Mexico?"

As a talisman floated in front of her, Nao, who was brewing tea, gently gave her instructions.

"be careful."

"Yes, Mother."

The talisman emitted a childish voice, and judging from her excited tone, it sounded like she was going out for a spring outing.

"Hey,"

As the light on the talisman faded, Nao brought a cup of tea to the living room.

“My child is all grown up and wants to be independent so quickly; even in terms of ability, he is much stronger than me.”

"This only proves that you are indeed not suitable for cultivation?"

Sitting in the living room was You!

Of course, it's his clone.

Yu could indeed forcefully raise Nao's strength to god-level in one go: but what good would that do? Would she be competing for the title of the most pathetic god in history?
Even the young lady of Jiu Kong, who used to get beaten up every day, is actually a veteran of countless battles. Putting aside the fact that she always suffers defeat, when fighting against someone of the same level, there are really very few people in the entire extraordinary world who can defeat her.

Even if he were to drop to an ordinary level, he would still be a master of swordsmanship, fighting, and practical combat among ordinary people.

It can only be said that neither Nao nor Ichiyo has any talent for cultivation.

It's already quite good that Xiaoying and her sister were able to advance to the Dragon level.

It was also someone who cheated.
"Life isn't just about fighting."

He picked up a cup of tea and comforted Nao. Now he had the power to control multiple 'worlds' and his strength was enough to reverse time and death. There was no need to ask those around him to work harder.

They really have no talent, so they might as well just lie down: anyway, with You's methods, dragging everyone into 'immortality' is no problem at all.

On the other hand, it's only been five or six years since the Extraordinary Return.
"I know, but—"

How could Nao, as a mother, not worry about letting her one-and-a-half-year-old daughter 'roam' outside?
"Don't worry,"

In response, You raised his hand and pressed down.

"With me around, it's just a matter of gaining some 'experience' in growing up."

"Well, I believe you."

If it weren't for Yu's guarantee, Nao would have already gone into battle;
Even if he lacked the strength, he couldn't possibly let his daughter face the Demon King without his consent.

Setagaya Ward, Tokugawa family.

Has the situation become that serious?

In his room, Touma Kamijou, with his phone pressed to his ear, looked serious.

"The actual situation is even more serious, Touma-kun."

The calm voice of Director Zhu Ya came through the phone.

“Now it’s not just people from Bharat, but people from the Philippines, Indonesia, Australia, and even here are going to New Delhi to worship.”

"The number of people disappearing every day is conservatively estimated to have exceeded 100,000!"

It was more terrifying than World War II.

Even in world wars, the daily death toll is only 2 to 4.

Those people were supposedly on a 'pilgrimage,' but everyone knew what they were really there for.

Legend has it that in the 'Paradise,' one can even meet the dead!

In the years since the Resurrection, who hasn't lost several friends, family members, or even a lifelong loved one?

Even though many people vaguely suspect that there is something wrong with the 'paradise', what does it matter if they can see their relatives and loved ones again?
"There is also the 'Asura Realm,' which has attracted a large number of canine-level superhumans."

Director Zhu Ya's voice came through the phone again.
As extraordinary powers continue to spread, extraordinary potions are becoming more and more common. Perhaps in a few years, those without spiritual power will no longer be considered 'human'.

However, precisely because of the continuous spread of extraordinary power, many extraordinary individuals have raised the following points:
Kick the dog-level beings out of the ranks of the extraordinary!
Just because someone has a bit of strength and can run a little faster, does that give them the nerve to call themselves extraordinary?
You must master at least one skill or technique to qualify as extraordinary!

But learning techniques and skills is easier said than done.

For ordinary people without talent, reaching the Wolf level requires more than ten years of arduous training:
Even in an extraordinary era, with widespread fitness activities, a lack of real-world experience makes breakthroughs difficult.

"I know, after all—"

Kamijou Touma sighed.

In his class, some students bought tickets to Bharat.

Academy City is a very 'turbulent' place; there have been many students who have broken through to gain spiritual power by taking injections and medicine.

Now, as the requirements for extraordinary individuals become higher and higher, simple spiritual power is outdated; to master techniques and skills, one needs to break through in actual combat: unless one is extremely wealthy or has a family tradition, where would one get the money to hire a private tutor for extraordinary individuals?

Quanyuan Club?
Not to mention a real fight, he might have to lie in bed for ten days or half a month.
To enter the Kengan Association competition, you also need to pass the preliminary rounds.

And the opponents in the preliminary round were also other students.

Therefore, for ordinary students,
I want to get ahead of everyone else and break through to the wolf level.

Unless you can meet the 'Golden Mentor', one of the seven urban legends.

Rumor has it that in Academy City, there is a mysterious person who likes to guide students in their cultivation; he has taught superhumans at the Tiger, Demon, and even Dragon and God levels!
However, most people scoffed at this, saying it was even more absurd than another urban legend, "the God of Fortune bestows blessings."

However, both of these 'urban legends' are actually true:
Kamijou Touma can testify to this.

But those with his luck are extremely rare, one in ten million.

"No matter what, I can't just sit idly by."

After sighing,

The boy with the sea urchin-shaped haircut became more determined.

"If that god really has a problem."

At this point, Touma's gaze fell on his right hand.

To throw a punch at 'God'?
This wasn't the first time for him.

"Hehe~~ Let's do it then."

The next second, two hands reached out from behind and wrapped around Touma's neck.

Feeling soft pressure on his back, Touma Kamijou instinctively sat up straight. "Dolly?"

"Director Zhuya,"

With her long, flowing hair cascading over Touma's shoulders, Dori took the initiative to strike up a conversation with Director Takeya on the other end of the phone.

"Leave the matter of Barat to us. What do you think?"

"If Miss Dolly is willing to help, that would be wonderful."

Director Zhu Ya's voice came through the phone.
"Please feel free to ask if you need anything."

The island nation's government will do everything in its power!
"Dolly, why?"

After hanging up the phone, Touma tilted his head, subtly keeping his distance from the girl clinging to his back, and asked her with a puzzled look.

Dori Kamijou—oops, Dori's personality is more like a 'little devil': besides her fanatical love for Touma and her respect and fear of 'Hikari-nee,' all she has left is jealousy and rivalry with Shizuka.

They don't care much about other things.

After research, the experts from the Metropolitan Police Department's Psychology Division unanimously concluded that:
It's all Diablo's fault!
Dolly was able to awaken her self-awareness so quickly thanks to the 'guidance' of that demon god; but since he was a demon god, he certainly wouldn't teach her anything about 'truth, goodness, and beauty'.

In addition, there is another reason that is difficult to say: the bloodline of Susanoo seems to be very 'obsessive'. Whether it is Ōtengu, Ie, Dori, or Hikaru, they are all some kind of fanatics: Susanoo himself is also like this.

So theoretically speaking, Dolly doesn't care how many people die in Barat at all;

Even classmates don't care about her at all.

"But I care about you, Touma-kun."

Leaning against Touma Kamijou's back, the girl's 'offensive' was relentless:
"Dolly is willing to do anything you want to do—just for you."

Such girlish sentiments left Touma Kamijou at a loss for what to do.

Bang!
Next second,
The door suddenly opened.

"Great, very good—"

"In that case, let's go!"

Tokugawa Shizuka strode in with a dark expression, her long hair flying like tentacles behind her: it was a dissipating magnetic force, a scene of mutual repulsion.

"Hehehe~~ Sister Jing is so angry."

Dolly refused to get up from Touma's back.

"I'm so scared I can't walk. Can you carry me, Touma?"

? ?
I think you want me dead!
The longsword in the still room began to hum.

Caught between two beautiful women, Touma Kamijou was sweating profusely.

We should hurry to Barat and see what's going on with that 'Ganesha', the elephant-headed god.

And persuade the classmate to come back.

"Are we just going to go there like this?"

Over the Pacific Ocean, a 'cowcart' pulled by two foxes sped by; inside the huge carriage, Xiao Gang, who was sitting cross-legged, raised his hand to speak.

"Of course, speed is of the essence in war!"

The little moon floating in the air saw him wave his sleeve.
"We are extraordinary beings, and it is only right that we leave home in the morning and return with heads in the evening!"

No, no, no, it just seems like you haven't had enough fun, right? And your upbringing can only be described as tragic.

Xiao Gang was already tired of complaining about Xiao Yueye's "behavioral patterns": but thinking about it carefully, how many of the "demigods" in mythology were actually easy to deal with?

If they don't cause trouble in front of the main god, they're already considered good children.

"So, what's the plan?"

Having decided to head straight for the 'King of Sin's' territory, Xiao Gang had no choice but to start planning his next move.

However, he forgot one thing:
"plan?"

"There's no such thing—"

After speaking, Xiaoyue turned to look at Xiaozhi.

"What do you think, Little Zhi?"

"No."

Xiao Zhi shook his head without hesitation. His intelligence was insufficient to think like a 'plan': all he needed to do was unleash 'world-shaking power'!
hiss--

Faced with these two companions who possessed 'astounding wisdom', Xiao Gang gasped.

"Actually, if you have power, many things will be easily solved, right?"

Xiaoxia tried to defend Xiaozhi, but Xiaogang immediately pointed out:
"You guys aren't planning to go straight to the 'King of Sin,' beat Him up, and force him to tell you where Rai Pikachu is, are you?"

Nod, ×2
My headache is getting worse.
It's normal for Princess Xiaoyue to be a little simple-minded at one and a half years old.

Xiao Zhi, you're at least 10 years old, how can you behave like this:
"When we get to Mexico,"

no way,
Xiao Gang had no choice but to offer his own suggestions.

"I'll go and find out the situation first, and then we'll make a plan."

—The transformation techniques I learned before can finally be put to use!
"Hey?"

"We can't go directly to that King of Sin."

"Let's listen to Xiaogang."

Xiaoxia then joined in trying to dissuade them:

"First, if we rush in directly and alert them, and they simply kill Pikachu, then we will lose the whole game."

"Secondly, if the other side directly uses Pikachu as a hostage, we will also be in a very passive position."

The best-case scenario is to secretly rescue Pikachu!

At that point, will we fight or retreat?
The initiative is entirely in their hands.

"That sounds pretty interesting~~"

For Xiaoyue Yejian, this was her first time traveling far from home, and all her experiences were new and exciting, so she didn't care much about them.

As for Xiao Zhi: Since everyone says so, he can't really object.

After all, he possesses astonishing wisdom.
Let's hope for some earth-shattering power.
