I directed the mythical revival in Tokyo

Chapter 177: Was Neon's terrain carved out by Bo Gang?

"The Demon of Gen, Bogang. This name always sounds familiar to me."

Minister Miki was slightly stunned when he heard the name, and then he couldn't help but turn his head to look at the priest next to him.

The priest seemed to have expected this. He exchanged glances with Minister Miki. Both of them instantly recalled the origin of the name. They said in unison, "It was the guy that Takasaka Ryuji mentioned after he came back from the underworld during the Taiji City incident and told us to be wary!"

"It's been so long, I almost forgot about it!"

"If I remember correctly," the priest continued, "this name appeared at the same time as the gourd that can absorb divine power, right?"

"Yes, that's right! It's that gourd!" Minister Miki nodded affirmatively.

Suddenly, in the split screen, accompanied by the constant humming of the aircraft engine and air circulation system, Takasaka Ryuji's voice came out clearly: "I did hear about the 'Mountain Devil' at that time."

"According to Mr. Yu, there are eight demons in the ancient times, and they ruled the continents of the earth respectively. And according to the records of the time, the one who ruled the Neon region was the legendary demon Pogon."

Suddenly, Minister Miki asked anxiously, "So did Susanoo say anything about Hago's ability?"

There was a slight pause in Takasaka Ryuji's voice, and it was obvious that he was recalling something.

"It is said that its ability is related to the 'Gen' in the legendary Bagua!"

"Gossip?" When Minister Miki heard this unfamiliar word, a trace of confusion flashed across his eyes, and his mind went blank.

What a niche vocabulary.

He quickly stood up and shouted loudly in the room: "Does anyone know anything about gossip?"

When everyone heard the word "gossip", they were slightly stunned, and then looked around, hoping to find someone among their companions who knew something about it.

Just when everyone was feeling at a loss, the priest looked at the bewildered crowd below and felt a little speechless.

Then he opened his folding fan and explained to Minister Miki.

"Although I'm not deeply into gossip, I can try to explain it as much as possible."

"Before that, Mr. Assistant, please contact the scholars at the University of Tokyo who are familiar with the relevant content as soon as possible."

"Simply put, the Eight Trigrams is an ancient philosophical concept that uses a set of symbols consisting of three groups of yin and yang to reason about all things in the world. The 'Gen Trigram' is part of it, and it symbolizes mountains and rivers."

"Therefore," the priest continued, "the feathered fox called him the 'Demon of Gen' the moment she saw him! This means that the ability of this demon is likely related to mountains and rivers."

Minister Miki was slightly stunned, then seemed to realize something and pointed at the huge green monster, "The size of this monster can indeed be associated with mountains and rivers!"

"But this is a plain here!" he added doubtfully.

When the priest heard what Minister Miki said, he knew that he had begun to understand something, so he nodded slightly and then explained softly: "As the representative of mountains and rivers, the Gen Demon can indeed draw strength from mountains and rivers..."

Having said this, the priest suddenly paused, his eyes suddenly widened, and he stared at the green monster on the screen.

The monster was seen eating while continuously and obviously drawing power from the ground, competing for energy with the giant egg.

"Wait!" the priest exclaimed, "If it can draw power from the ground, shouldn't it be the demon represented by the Kun hexagram? Can the Gen hexagram also drive the power of the earth?"

汤屋
"Lord God, is that the red mochi you have been carefully cultivating?"

Spider-girl on the side bent her body curiously, looking at Kira Yoshimitsu who was staring at the "Black Mirror Live" with great interest on her face.

Kira Yoshimitsu seemed to have noticed Spider-Ko's question. He slowly answered while concentrating on observing the situation at the scene.

"Yes, I didn't expect that the glutton could have such a high degree of compatibility with the ability of density control!"

A long time ago, when Kira Yoshimitsu gained the ability of virtual souls, he accidentally discovered a special soul that could devour other companions.

That soul seemed to only know how to eat, and its horrible appetite was quite unique, making it stand out among many souls and be selected by Kira Yoshimitsu.

"This virtual soul looks sick. Why don't we feed it...?"

As his abilities continued to develop, Kira Yoshimitsu gradually learned a lot of information about the granting of abilities.

The most important point is that the ability of the offline people who are given abilities to withstand stress is related to both their body and soul.

Kojiro Sasaki, who had caused a big fuss in Kyoto before, was given three abilities by Yoshimitsu Kira: physical strengthening, thread, and slashing.

Behind this achievement is the result of the combination of Kira Yoshimitsu's body shaped by demonization and the tough soul forged in the bloody battle in the bathhouse.

It is this combination that allows Sasaki to steadily carry these three secondary abilities.

However, there is an upper limit to normal flesh production after all. Only by regularly using divine power for nourishment can the body hope to break through this limit.

But the cost performance ratio is too low.

In contrast, it is difficult for Kira Yoshimitsu to directly interfere with the soul.

There are currently only two ways to obtain high-quality souls: one is to be born with excellent qualities, and the other is to achieve an acquired transformation after going through numerous hardships.

Therefore, when Kira Yoshimitsu noticed the transformation of Miyamoto Musashi's soul, he was filled with ecstasy.

Because this indicates that he may be able to create a "vest" with a higher ceiling.

The gluttonous ghost soul at this time is the former example given by Kirara Yoshimitsu. Under continuous cultivation, this soul has indeed been tapped into huge potential.

"A soul capable of carrying level three abilities!"

"Even said..."

Kira Yoshimitsu couldn't help but glance at the panel.

[Density Control (Feature: Assimilation and Absorption)] lv3
"Under that terrifying and pure desire to eat, can new features be unlocked?"

You know, this is a third-level ability!
Although the fat woman's physical weakness hindered the creation of a stronger vest.

But consider the compatibility between the gluttonous ghost soul as the subject and the fat woman.

There is still no need to make sacrifices just to gain an extra secondary ability!
……

Extraordinary Countermeasures Bureau
Everyone stared at the horrific monster on the screen that was advancing recklessly and continuously swallowing buildings into its stomach like desserts. After each swallow, its body would swell slightly.

"Could it be that this guy will grow infinitely?"

"I don't think so," another person replied after thinking for a while, "If it was a demon that ruled Japan in ancient times, do you think Japan would still exist with its greedy character? With its character, I'm afraid it would start to eat the entire Neon after it found that there was no food to eat."

"That does make sense!" Everyone nodded.

The assistant at the side heard everyone's discussion and couldn't help but interrupt, "Is it possible that the legendary Eight Immortals had already sealed it before Bo Gang grew into his complete form?"

"In other words, rather than the fact that Bogang's growth has an upper limit and cannot consume the entire Neon Island, it is more likely that it has been sealed before it can destroy Neon."

"I suddenly had an idea. Is it possible that neon was much bigger than we think now?"

"Is it because of Bo Gang that we are what we are now?"

hiss--

Hearing the novel ideas put forward by the assistant, the geography experts in the crowd couldn't help but push up their glasses, feeling surprised.

"There is actually such an explanation?!"

“However, having said that, this can indeed be used as a research topic to be explored in depth - the connection between extraordinary beings and the formation of neon islands.”

Minister Miki also glanced at the assistant beside him with surprise.

Although he recently discovered that this assistant always came up with some unexpected ideas at critical moments, it must be said that for the Extraordinary Countermeasures Bureau, they are not afraid of hearing cold water, but are only afraid of lack of innovative thinking.

Therefore, Minister Miki actually holds a certain encouraging attitude towards this assistant who occasionally makes surprising theories.

Just as Minister Miki was lost in thought, considering the possible impact of Bo Gang, there was a sudden cry of surprise from the audience.

"Oh my god! Yuyuko's tail was blocked so easily!"

Hearing this, Minister Miki quickly turned his attention back to the scene.

The feather fox seemed to have lost its patience, and with a gloomy face, it thrust its giant tail forward. The terrifying and powerful black fox tail was like a train accelerating to its limit, making a piercing sound in the air.

Countless air currents were driven by the black fox tail, rolling up the wind and sand all over the sky, sweeping forward violently!

Everyone's heart was in their throat; they had witnessed the destructive power of that move with their own eyes.

The giant fox tail that stretched almost infinitely and was ready to go was enough to reach a thousand meters in the sky! One could imagine how powerful the energy it contained was!

Coupled with the fact that its tail is almost as hard as steel, its power should not be underestimated!
With a loud bang, the black fox tail and Bo Gang's fat belly collided instantly, causing a circle of violent air waves!

Boom!

The air wave was so strong that it caused the surrounding buildings to shake.

"Did it work? It looks like Bo Gang has responded!"

However, as the dust and air waves gradually dissipated, everyone was surprised to find that Bo Gang's strong arms were constantly grabbing his stomach.

The sharp claws scratched across the belly, leaving white marks, and a large number of stones rolled down the belly and hit the ground.

"What happened just now? Why does my stomach feel itchy?"

chewing...

(Building fills mouth) Chew chew...

"..."

This is too meaty, isn't it? ! !

Whoosh whoosh!
What's going on? ! !
Suddenly, a loud noise was heard from high in the sky, which made everyone's faces change and they all looked towards the sky.

I saw a large number of armed helicopters dropping a large number of familiar shells downwards.

Minister Miki immediately understood what the military was thinking at the moment.

"Could it be that those guys thought that as a fellow monster, Yuyuko seemed to be at a disadvantage in the battle, so they wanted to weaken Bogang through bombing?"

"These idiots are too confident in themselves. Aren't they afraid that the monster named Bo Gang and Yuyuko will join forces to fight back?"

However, when Minister Miki saw the excitement in Yuyuko's eyes, he instantly put his worries aside.

“It seems like this is indeed possible!”

"These two guys seem to be at odds with each other. Maybe the military's strategy will work."

Wait, what is Bo Gang doing?
God!

Everyone in the Supernatural Countermeasures Bureau couldn't help but cover their mouths with their hands, unable to believe what they saw.

On the screen, there were bombs falling from the sky.

Bo Gang actually chose to prop up his head and open his mouth?

……

Military Command

"Beautiful! I said that monster has a simple mind but strong limbs!"

At this time, the military commander waved his hat excitedly, with a smug smile on his face, and then turned around to show off to the people behind him.

"According to our deduction, we beat the green monster that was clearly in the upper hand to a low HP, so as to balance its combat power with that of the fox monster and let them restrain each other."

"In this way, we have prevented the fox monster from hatching the giant egg, and prevented the green monster from absorbing the power of the giant egg. When our high-end combat force enters the battlefield and faces these two monsters with low health, the turning point of the battle will begin!"

As soon as he finished speaking, warm applause broke out at the scene.

"As expected of you, the commander-in-chief in charge of Tokyo!"

"You are much more thoughtful than us. You can come up with such a wonderful solution in such a short time. No wonder you are the leader!"

Facing the compliments from everyone, the commander smirked and said, "Humph, you still have a lot to learn!"

As he spoke, he turned his gaze back to the picture, admiring his "masterpiece".

The green monster opened its huge mouth without any scruples, and several nuclear bombs were easily thrown into its mouth.

[Beautiful! Just blow him up like this!!!]

The green monster's lips pressed together.

Everything suddenly became calm.

The commander was stunned.

"Huh? What happened? Could it be that the nuclear bomb has fallen into disrepair and has become ineffective?"

He turned around angrily and yelled at the logistics staff, "Assholes! Such a good opportunity, but you guys made such a big mistake because of logistics issues!"

Suddenly, the military assistant spoke with a trembling voice.

"The situation is worse than the failure of the nuclear bomb! The monster was not hurt at all!"

Everyone quickly turned their eyes to the screen, and saw that Bo had just opened his lips slightly, with wisps of gray smoke emerging from his mouth.

A low thump echoed across Tokyo.

"this is delicious!"

“One more!!!”

The commander covered his heart in astonishment, feeling a strong sense of suffocation, then fell to the ground weakly, trying to calm himself down a little.

He lay on the ground, his eyes revealing deep disbelief.

"Oh my god, this monster..."

How is this possible? This type of nuclear bomb can almost be said to be one of the weapons with the most direct destructive power!
After all, for these monsters, the main radiation effect of the nuclear bomb may not be significant.

Therefore, sub-nuclear bombs, which are pure kinetic destructive power, have always been regarded as the best means to fight against these monsters!
But now, the result told him that all this seemed to be ineffective? !

……

At this time, the Extraordinary Countermeasures Area fell into silence.

When faced with extraordinary beings, this is the situation they fear most.

I'm not afraid of your great lethality!
I’m afraid I won’t be able to break through the defense!
Snapped!
After thinking for a long time, the priest finally raised his head and excitedly announced his discovery.

"I understand. The characteristics of the Gen hexagram are the key! In the Gen hexagram, the Yang energy rises and the Yin energy sinks, and the two do not interfere with each other. The Gen hexagram symbolizes stopping, stability and obstruction, so Bo Gang is likely to have extraordinary defensive capabilities!"

"In addition, because the yin and yang energies cannot blend with each other! The yang in the Gen Gua is at its extreme, while the yin is at its weakest! The yin becomes more yin, and the solid becomes more solid! The Gen Gua can accept and store all things of yin and yang! According to the concept of the Eight Trigrams, all things in the world are composed of yin and yang, which explains why the other party can absorb everything!!!"

"This is also the real explanation for why the wave will grow larger after swallowing buildings!"

"As for why Bo Gang of the Gen hexagram would use the power of the Kun hexagram? I have some guesses, but I feel there are some logical flaws."

“Professionals are still needed.”

"Based on the inferred Hagang ability! This will definitely help our next move!"

The priest looked up with a happy expression and expectation, but was met with the heavy expressions of the crowd, as heavy as a dead horse.

"Why are you all unhappy?"

"..." Everyone was silent.

"What happened while I was thinking and analyzing?"

The priest finally realized the seriousness of the situation.
