I directed the mythical revival in Tokyo

Chapter 201 The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter: The True Ending
Izumo City

"what!"

A tree root suddenly sprouted from the ground and spread wildly in all directions.

It penetrates the road surface and continuously forms protrusions on the ground, as if depicting the movement trajectory of a huge monster underground.

A young office worker in a shirt, with a panicked look on his face, holding a briefcase tightly in his hands, and his tie loosened.

He felt a strong threat from underground. He stared straight ahead, not daring to look back. He just kept moving his legs forward, trying to escape.

"Tough luck! Tough luck! Tough luck!"

He kept cursing in his mind.

pat!

Suddenly, the office worker felt his feet sink and instantly guessed what was about to happen.

His face suddenly changed, but it was too late to react.

With a thud, he fell heavily to the ground.

Looking at the slightly cracked ground, a feeling of despair surged into my heart like a tide.

"it's over!"

He closed his eyes helplessly, preparing for the inevitable end.

However, at this critical moment, a warning suddenly came from the sky ahead.

"Put your head down!"

In their panic, office workers subconsciously pressed their entire bodies against the ground.

Boom!

There was a horrible sound of wind above his head, as if something heavy was flying over him.

Then, a deafening crash sounded behind him, as if to shatter his heart.

Then he felt his neck being lifted up instantly, and his whole body was suspended in the air.

"Wow!"

The strong feeling of weightlessness and the whistling wind swept over him, making him unable to help but scream out.

However, he soon realized his gaffe and quickly covered his mouth, fearing that he would make any more noise.

"Am I saved?"

The office worker felt relieved for having survived the disaster and began to look around.

He found himself being carried by a girl with horns on her head, flying between the high-rise buildings.

The girl had a nimble figure, and every jump she made him feel a strong sense of weightlessness.

He couldn't help but look back, and saw that where he was before, a concrete pillar several tens of meters long was deeply embedded in the ground, breaking a tree root tentacle in the middle.

Seeing this scene, he became even more convinced that he had escaped.

The office worker looked at the girl next to him and instantly understood her identity.

"A student of Butei Academy? Thank you..."

Just as he was about to express his gratitude to the girl, there was a sudden sound of wind pressure in the sky, followed by continuous bombing sounds.

Boom!

He tried his best to open his eyes and look behind him, only to see dense barrages of bullets pouring down like raindrops, enveloping the entire city center in a sea of ​​fire.

“This is the city center!”

Bang bang bang!
In the sky, shells poured down like raindrops, scattering wildly downwards.

These shells, accompanied by strong air flow sounds, whizzed past the center of Izumo City and hit the roots of the trees.

Continuous bombing sounds rang out, and the bark around the tree roots was blown apart and splashed everywhere.

However, after suffering severe damage, the tree roots began to swell slightly, and then new root buds continued to emerge, trying to recover vitality.

But apparently, its growth rate has become abnormally slow.

Izumo City Command
Colonel Basa witnessed this scene and couldn't help but reveal a look of relief on his face.

However, it can still be effectively stopped by the attack of modern weapons.

"Sir, don't we need to consider the surrounding buildings?"

The blonde secretary, hugging her notebook, couldn't help but ask.

Colonel Basa glanced at her and said calmly.

"You have to remember that this is Izumo City. We have only one goal, and that is to ensure that this area is always under the jurisdiction of Amelica."

"Whether buildings in other places were bombed into ruins has little to do with us. Izumo City has a large population now, and post-disaster reconstruction is only a matter of time."

It can even be said that when Colonel Basa recalled the unprecedented positive attitude shown by the local residents of Izumo City when they heard about the rewards for their contributions to the construction, he couldn't help but feel a hint of contempt in his heart.

Anyway, what Izumo City lacks the least right now is labor.

Just as he was immersed in his thoughts, the secretary beside him suddenly spoke, with a hint of worry in his voice.

"But Colonel Basa, those tree roots are now almost spreading to the Izumo Shrine! Once we get there, do we still need to provide fire coverage?"

The secretary's words suddenly woke Colonel Basa up. His pupils shrank and he quickly turned his gaze to the shrine not far away.

The roots of the tree were seen spreading towards the Izumo Shrine, aiming directly at the landmark sacred pillar.

Seeing this scene, his expression suddenly changed.

The reason they chose to build here was to please the potential gods of the Izumo Shrine.

If the tree roots really spread to the shrine and even destroyed the sacred pillar, the consequences would be disastrous!
"bad thing!!!"

……

The chief priest of Izumo Shrine, dressed in gorgeous ritual attire, is standing in front of the shrine gate.

His face was full of fear as he stared at the approaching tree roots.

Behind him, a witch looked pale and her legs were trembling.

She couldn't help but persuade him, "Lord God, why don't we hide away first!"

However, the god rejected her with a trembling voice.

"We have nowhere to retreat! The Izumo Shrine is right behind us!"

He turned his head and faced the raging tree roots again, but he couldn't help but recall the Takemikata god he had met before, and the Americans who were vying to please him.

He understood that if he chose to escape at this moment, he would lose something more important than life.

At this moment, a majestic and distant voice suddenly came in the air.

"Such a strong earth vein aura!"

"Is this... the root of the sacred tree? Why is it here?"

Hearing this familiar voice, the God's face instantly became excited, as if he was pulled back from the abyss of despair.

He looked up at the sky and saw a purple-haired figure with a shimenawa behind him slowly descending.

At that moment, he seemed to have lost all his strength, and his body couldn't help but begin to fall slightly.

Fortunately, the witch behind him grabbed his arm in time and held him steady.

The two of them looked up at the figure in the sky together. The witch couldn't help but put her hands in front of her mouth and muttered excitedly.

"It's Takemikata-shin!"

……

After settling the office workers and ensuring their safety, Mao Liyuan quickly returned to the scene, and felt a headache when faced with the spreading tree roots.

"This is too much, we can't handle it all!"

Buzz!

Suddenly, a strong sense of oppression came from the sky, causing Mao Liyuan's heart to beat wildly.

She felt a sense of crisis, as if all the hair on her body was about to explode.

She couldn't help but look up, and saw a figure carrying a shimenawa gradually appearing under the moonlight.

Under the moonlight, the purple-haired god slowly raised his hands from both sides.

The next moment, the clouds in the sky began to flash with thunder and lightning, and countless golden lightning bolts were brewing in the clouds, ready to go off.

As the purple-haired deity pressed down with both hands, a terrifying golden lightning bolt suddenly struck downwards.

The crackling golden lightning quickly forked as it fell.

From one to two, two to four, it continues to grow exponentially!
Cover the entire area where the tree roots are.

The tree roots were instantly annihilated by the fine particles of golden lightning!

The air in Izumo City smells like decomposing air.

There was a sound of jumping next to Moriyuan, followed by Nia's trembling voice echoing in her ears: "Is that the Takemikata God of Izumo City?!"

"Shh!"

Mao Liyuan stared at the purple-haired god above.

The two held their breath and stared at the next scene.

The purple-haired deity glanced slightly toward the northeast, and then a breeze blew by, and along with the wind, the figure of the purple-haired deity that had been in the moonlight disappeared...

————————Suwa City

"Come on! Lord Snake God!"

"Tear them apart! Brothers and sisters are mighty!"

On the shore of Lake Suwa, countless residents gathered around the city center.

The terrifying giant hands hundreds of meters long fought fiercely with the thousand-meter-long rock snakes, and they pulled the tree roots beneath them unscrupulously.

The giant rock snake suddenly curled up forward and tightly wrapped around the tree roots.

The tree roots seemed to begin to resist, but in the face of the powerful force of the giant rock snake, the resistance seemed so powerless.

The tree roots on the surface were torn off.

Boom!

The ground seemed to come alive, rising and falling with the rocks and land, completely covering the remaining tree roots.

Then, a crunching sound was heard from under the ground.

Listening to the chewing-like sound, the residents of Suwa City were filled with excitement.

"Oh oh oh! That's great!"

"Long live Suwa Daimyojin!"

"This is our Suwa City! Do you have a Suwa City like this? It's so safe and complete!"

At Suwa Shrine, Lord Asatake Yasuharu finally breathed a sigh of relief as he watched everything settle.

He couldn't help but look at the smiling blond god beside him, his eyes revealing deep admiration.

He walked quickly forward, knelt on the ground with a plop, and lowered his head lightly.

"Thank you for your help!"

The blond god gently touched the top of the head of the silver-haired girl in front of him, with a half-smile on her face, making it impossible to tell her emotions.

The antennae eyes on her hat narrowed slightly and swayed from side to side.

"Tsk, tsk, it might be too early to be happy now!"

……

"Report to Minister Miki!"

The assistant's voice echoed throughout the Extraordinary Countermeasures Bureau, with urgency in his tone.

"Currently, the darkness centered on Nara Prefecture has almost covered the entire Neon, with only a few counties in Kyushu and Hokkaido remaining."

"With the continued efforts of the extraordinary people and the military across the country, the mutations have been contained as much as possible."

The assistant browsed the real-time data and quickly analyzed and summarized it.

"Izumo City and Suwa City have been the first to resolve the crisis! In addition, the Tohoku region has fallen, and the troops stationed in Hokkaido are rushing to provide support!"

"The rest of the area is in a stalemate!"

After hearing these reports, Minister Miki's tense expression relaxed a little.

He turned his gaze to Nara Prefecture, where the growth rate of the main sacred tree had obviously slowed down and was no longer as rapid as before.

Minister Miki gripped the corner of the table tightly, penetrated the protruding wooden part with his fingers, and grabbed it hard, as if looking for some kind of support.

He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.

"It seems that Princess Kaguya's purpose is indeed to draw the power of the earth veins from the ground to nourish her green gem."

At this moment, the priest next to him had water stains on his face. He quickly wiped it dry with a towel and regained some consciousness.

He heard Minister Miki's voice as soon as he entered the room, so he immediately added.

"If I'm not mistaken, Princess Kaguya's ultimate goal is to continue to expand the scope of that darkness!"

"But what's the point of just extending the night?"

The assistant at the side asked the question subconsciously, but then an embarrassed look appeared on his face. It was obvious that he had figured out the key point after calming down a little.

The priest saw this and glanced down. Seeing that some people were pretending to be calm, he sighed. He asked without revealing his expression.

"Do you remember the circumstances under which those tree roots appeared?"

The assistant immediately understood the priest's intention, which was to remind those senior officials who had not yet figured it out.

"Those tree roots that appeared across the country only gradually appeared after the darkness spread!"

"That's right!"

Upon hearing this, the priest handed the towel in his hand to the staff beside him, with a solemn expression on his face, staring at the main body of the sacred tree.

"Wherever the night covers, the tree roots will be able to extend. After absorbing nutrients, the tree roots will give back to the night, thus promoting its continued spread!"

Thinking of the terrible consequences that would follow if this process was not stopped in time, a hint of relief flashed across the priest's face.

"If we react a little slower, the darkness will spread to all of Neon in just half an hour!"

"Even said..."

The priest looked at the globe that served as a decoration on the side, walked quickly forward and fiddled with it, looking at the locations of the surrounding countries, and remembered the unintentional words he had said before.

"I almost became a crow's mouth! This is really a crisis of annihilation level!"

Suddenly, Susanoo's solemn voice was heard in the picture.

"Kaguya, are you crazy? How dare you so recklessly prepare to absorb the earth power of the whole world!"

"Don't you know what the consequences will be if you absorb all the earth veins?"

"When the gods return and learn of your actions, do you understand the price you will pay?"

Under the gaze of countless people, the bright moonlight shone on Kaguya's face, and her eyes appeared unusually calm.

She gently put her hands behind her back and then showed a look of indifference.

"It doesn't matter. I will become the Lord God, right?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Kaguya's aura was no longer concealed and burst out like a raging flood.

Boom!

The terrifying aura almost became material and spread throughout the Nara Prefecture in an instant!
"cough cough"

"Such a strong pressure! The efficiency of energy flow is decreasing!"

Yamagami Tetsuya felt this sudden terrifying pressure and his body trembled slightly involuntarily.

His eyes focused, feeling his body gradually becoming stiff and the flow of energy seeming to stagnate.

Subconsciously, I looked up at the figure in the sky.

At this moment, the battlefield fell into silence again.

Princess Kaguya threw the gorgeous long sleeves of her twelve-piece kimono to the sides and opened her arms.

As if to embrace the whole world.

There was a hint of nostalgia on her face.

"You know what? The Moon People have to pay a price for longevity. That is, in order to ensure their purity, they need to resist all emotions!"

"Thousands of years ago, when I became interested in emotions, those people sent me to the ground without hesitation in panic."

"But after I came to the ground, I found that the poison everyone was talking about was just an excuse for them to escape and fear death!"

"They said they wanted me to come to the human world, erase my memories, and learn about life, but in fact they just wanted me to suffer so as to warn the moon people who want to have emotional contact!"

Princess Kaguya looked up at the bright moon in the sky with a hint of sarcasm on her lips.

"My experience on the ground, and my interactions with Grandpa Uchiha and Grandma Senju, made me understand what emotions are..."

"So a thousand years ago, when the Moon People captured me and brought me back to the Moon Palace, I was ready to die together with the Guide!"

"First, let Zi'anbei stay to fulfill the two elders' wish to have an heir."

"Then, after death, hide in the moment, waiting for the thousand years when the spiritual energy dissipates and the gods are separated from the human world!"

"Use the contact information left behind to find the descendants of the Uchiha clan."

"Find a sacrifice, prepare the ritual, and then retrieve the body!"

Say it.

Princess Kaguya stretched out her hand, and four gems except the green gem surrounded her body again!
The hem of the dress is swaying!

"Although there were some accidents in the middle and I only recovered a part of my strength, but now as the only god in the world, there is no need to hide it anymore!"

"After I absorb the power of the earth veins, this thousand-year-old wish will come to an end!"

Extraordinary Countermeasures Bureau.

The air at the scene had frozen and everyone stood there in a daze.

After hearing Kaguya's declaration, the priest even forgot to take his right hand off the globe.

He exchanged a glance with Minister Miki, revealing a hint of despair.

"Is your purpose no longer concealed?"

"Doesn't that mean..."

[From Kaguya's perspective, no one can stop her?! ]
