I directed the mythical revival in Tokyo

Chapter 206: The Power of the Sun's Origin, Smoke Mirror

“The darkness, coldness, and wild beasts of the night brought fear and suffering to humans in primitive society.”

"Daytime sunlight brings light and heat, enabling all things to grow."

"The sun provides the energy for all things on earth to grow, and it also has a very direct interest in the development of human society."

"Therefore, in various early human civilizations, the earliest god created by humans was the sun god, and the earliest form of worship was sun worship. Often, sun myths are the core of all myths."

Kira Yoshimitsu slowly closed the black-covered, gold-rimmed book in his hand, feeling the weight in his palm. He raised his hand slightly, and the book began to float upward as if in a state of weightlessness.

The moment the book ended its contact with the palm, it disappeared into thin air like an illusory bubble.

He cast his gaze towards Spider-Man beside him. The confusion in his eyes had revealed his inner thoughts completely.
Kira Yoshimitsu sighed slightly, then stretched out his hand.

Feeling the nostalgic warmth brought by the top of her head, Spider-Girl couldn't help but narrow her eyes slightly.

"Go check out the recent state of your soul!"

After Spider-Girl left, Kira Yoshimitsu turned his gaze to the panel.

What comes into view is the brand new ability emerging from the fourth-level pool.

[Sun (Divine Power)] lv4 [Power of Origin] lv4 [Super Speed] lv3
It turns out that theocracy is not the only thing that appears in the fourth-level prize pool, a finding that is the same as the previous three-level prize pool.

Initially, Kira Yoshimitsu thought that all the contents of the prize pool were pure supernatural abilities like [Sparseness and Density Control]. However, when he unexpectedly obtained [Fraud (Fragment of Divine Power)], this surprise broke his inherent concept.

The same is true for the four-level prize pool.

Although at present, theocracy seems to account for a higher proportion in the four-level prize pool.

This may be due to the fact that theocracy has frequently appeared in the results of recent draws, resulting in some kind of bias in impression.

But in reality it seems that I just drew too few times.

As for the Sun.

Simply put, there is nothing fancy about it, it is just a pure numerical weirdness in light and heat abilities.

Pure and powerful.

The same is true for the [Super Speed] ability.

It is a physical enhancement ability that focuses mainly on increasing speed.

After all, there is a certain correlation between physical strength and speed. Therefore, this ability can not only increase the user's speed, but also enhance their physical strength to a certain extent.

It’s just that the speed value is also filled a little higher.

What's more special is.

Kira Yoshimitsu opened his hands, and a dazzling white light appeared in his palms.

As the heavy breath came towards him, an unprecedented look of surprise appeared on his face.

"I found a treasure!"

As for the [Power of Origin], he once successfully restored a completed craft to its raw materials.

At first, he thought it was just a power similar to turning back time.

However, after many in-depth tests, he discovered a unique application of the power of origin.

That is.

Kira Yoshimitsu uses the power of origin, wrapped in energy, to exert the ability of the hole.

At this moment, the dimensional space was like a newborn baby, greedily absorbing all the nutrients around it to replenish itself.

The range also began to grow wildly.

Looking at the satisfactory work in front of him, Kira Yoshimitsu turned his gaze to the panel again, and saw that the hole ability that had been motionless before had changed drastically in an instant.

[Hole] lv3 (Origin Power Enhanced)
"Using this aura to forcibly upgrade other abilities? Shouldn't it be traced back to a higher root form!"

In fact, Kira Yoshimitsu had already guessed about the abilities before. He believed that most of the abilities could actually be traced back further and had higher-level alternatives.

"There are really a lot more things to do now!"

……

Bang bang bang!
In the sky, countless fireworks bloom brilliantly under the clouds.

At this moment, countless aircraft formations were crossing the sky in an orderly manner, their tails dragging colorful tail feathers.

There were crowds of people around a towering hill.

Everyone's eyes were focused on the huge log on top of the hill that was hundreds of meters long.

The log was tightly tied with dense hemp ropes, the other end of which was held in the hands of a group of strong men who wore colorful ribbons on their heads and had excitement on their faces.

The huge log is tied with the Shinto symbol of Shimenawa, and the people riding on it are full of pride.

The logs teetered on the edge of the hill and seemed ready to roll down at any moment, a spectacular sight that everyone was expecting.

It is the legendary Suwa Shrine's Onahira Festival. Simply put, the Onahira is dragged by humans and erected at the Kamisha Hongu Shrine in Suwa City. People ride on the Onahira cut from the mountain, slide down the steep slope with a maximum inclination of 35 degrees, cross the river that has swollen after the snowmelt, and go to Suwa Taisha Shrine.

Although the traditional activities of the Onbashira Festival are always accompanied by considerable risks and even cause casualties, people remain enthusiastic and flock to it.

What’s more, times have changed!
This year's Onbashi Festival is more grand than ever before!
At the foot of the mountain, a serious-looking silver-haired girl led a group of children and began to sing sacrificial songs. The melodious singing echoed in the air.

"Suwa Daimyojin~"

……

"Hello, everyone! Welcome! Today we have gathered in Suwa City to witness the grand Onihashira Festival held every seven years. Please follow my gaze. The Onihashira has been carried to the top of the hill!"

"Next, the exciting wood-falling ceremony will begin!"

“It is worth mentioning that today in the audience, we have welcomed many guests from all over the world who came specially to participate in this Onbashira Festival.”

The host was now directing the camera with great passion, aiming the lens at the bustling host desk.

On the stage, countless figures who had appeared on television screens and in international news now appeared vividly before our eyes.

Faced with the arrival of these heavyweights, the host couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

[Is this the appeal of Suwa Daimyojin? ]

In every previous disaster situation in Tokyo and Nara Prefecture, Suwa Daimyojin was there to save the situation.

It can even be said that in today's world, apart from the three major religions, Suwa Daimyojin has single-handedly raised the influence of its faith to an unprecedented level.

only……

Thinking of the huge frog statue he had seen before, he felt like complaining.

Although high-ranking government officials wanted to establish a humanoid image of Suwa Daimyojin, it is said that the frog was requested by Suwa Daimyojin himself.

Considering that their purpose is to please the other party, senior government officials naturally make the decision based on Suwa Daimyojin's own preferences.

Is this reasonable?It makes sense!
Even say...

Glancing sideways, he saw several burly, physically enhanced transcendents carrying a royal chariot with great anticipation. On the chariot sat a gigantic frog statue that was so heavy that its size could be felt with the naked eye alone.

"Knowing that the gods like frogs, there is no need to try to please them..."

Suddenly, thunderous cheers came from behind.

He knew instantly that the moment had come.

"Everyone, please pay attention!"

An expression of "surprise" immediately appeared on his face, and he quickly guided the photographer to turn the camera to the back.

Boom!

As expected, amid the deafening sound of the whistle, the huge log that was hundreds of meters long began to slide slowly down.

It was like riding a slide, rushing down from the top of the hill with overwhelming momentum.

Amid the noisy crowd, the host tried his best to raise his voice and shouted with almost all his strength.

"The ceremony that is currently being performed is the Mu Luo! According to ancient legends..."

As he shouted, countless policemen and soldiers behind him were working hard to maintain order.

They waved their hands constantly and pushed the fanatical crowd who wanted to break through the defense line.

"Hey, hey, hey! Everyone, stand back! Yuzhu is coming! Don't push, don't push!"

“Just let me touch it! If I can touch it, my ability will definitely awaken!” “Suwa Daimyojin! The pillar! I’m here! Look at me! Look at me!!!”

"You guys should retreat quickly, the Yuzhu is really coming!"

Listening to the fanatical voices in the back, the host shuddered subconsciously.

"According to legend, during the falling wood, the brave will receive God-given luck!"

……

"God's luck?"

In an elegantly decorated office, an old man's drowsy eyes suddenly flashed with clarity. He smiled subconsciously, then shifted his gaze from the screen in front of him to the secretary beside him.

He recalled the previous world wars, in which America's unique geographical location had been an important factor in victory.

Thinking of the mythical-level wars that frequently broke out in many major cities in Japan, the old man couldn't help but feel a little relieved.

"Fortunately, we in America don't have so many endless monster legends!"

"While other countries are mired in the quagmire of war, we can use this precious golden period to fully develop our own extraordinary power!"

At this point, a gleam of light flashed in the old man's eyes.

He glanced at the screen where the God Festival was about to enter the next stage, and suddenly asked the secretary:
"Has Vulcan Corporation made any progress in its research on extraordinary weapons?"

"Yes," the secretary calmly gave the answer he had prepared long ago after hearing the question.

"In Izumo City, the IS plan implemented by Vulcan Corporation has achieved remarkable results, and the experimental data of Unit-01 is encouraging!"

Considering what Vulcan had said to him in private, he chose to pass on the words as is.

Suddenly the old man glanced at the secretary with a half-smile in his eyes.

It seemed as if he could see through his thoughts.

"In that case, I hope they can polish their work better. I heard that Lockheed Martin's Black Warrior Project is also about to succeed?"

Hearing the old man's implication, the secretary suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. But when he saw that the other party did not intend to continue asking questions, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

[I have said everything I need to say. I will accept this money without hesitation! ]

"What do you mean?"

The secretary asked cautiously.

"Money doesn't just come out of the blue. Whoever wins the military order will ultimately depend on the product!"

"Give Lockheed Martin some more time! After all, it's not good for one company to dominate the market alone!"

"understand!"

"Also, in the election, I remember there seemed to be some interesting candidates?"

Hearing the implication of the old man's tone, the secretary smiled knowingly and then answered.

"Do you mean Mr. Donald Valentine?"

"What do you think of him?"

Hearing the old man's sudden question, the secretary couldn't help but feel nervous.

“He’s a very interesting person!”

After the secretary turned and left.

The old man looked at the secretary's back and became indifferent.

"These guys, do you really think I'm old and confused?"

Then the old man turned his gaze to the screen again. At this time on the screen, Yu Zhu had come to the next process.

"Fortunately, Amelica doesn't have these monsters!"

The old man, feeling a little relaxed, suddenly noticed the Indian-style ornaments displayed nearby.

His face was a little stiff.

"I think should not be?"

……

Texas, Tiger Bar.

Under the dim lights, an inexplicable tense atmosphere permeated the first floor of the bar.

"Brother, what important person is coming that has the boss on such alert?"

A black-clad young man wearing sunglasses asked the team leader next to him cautiously. The young men around him also pricked up their ears, fearing that they would miss any information.

“He’s a big shot from the Black Hand Gang!
Hearing the key words, the black-clothed brother's pupils suddenly shrank and he couldn't believe his ears.

He couldn't help but whispered again to confirm, and pointed upstairs, "Boss, you are talking about the one in San Francisco..."

Suddenly, the sound of "thump thump" of footsteps came from the stairs on the second floor, interrupting his inquiry.

Everyone immediately turned their eyes to the stairs, only to see a middle-aged man with a silver backcombed hair and an elite temperament slowly walking down. He ignored everyone, left the bar, and stepped into the black sedan that had been waiting at the door for a long time.

……

"Those guys are finally gone!"

The burly man let out a long sigh, casually put his feet on the table, lit a cigar, and began to relieve his mental fatigue.

The goateed man in a vest who had been waiting for a long time finally got the chance to step forward.

He took out a wooden box from his arms and opened it carefully.

"Boss, our people are said to have received a very strange item."

When the burly man heard this, a hint of interest appeared on his face.

After all, the man with the goatee has followed him for a long time and has always been reliable.

The moment he opened the gift box, his heart suddenly trembled and the previous conversation echoed in his mind.

[Barn, don't forget who gave you your extraordinary power! In addition to providing information about the Sea Overlord Restaurant, your new mission is to collect stone antiques engraved with animal patterns! ]

"Oh my god, isn't this a coincidence?"

He was startled and quickly put away the wooden box, preparing to go downstairs.

However, just as he took a step, his foot slipped and the wooden box suddenly vibrated slightly. The stone inside suddenly flew out, drew an arc in the air, and smashed hard into the unknown stone statue that he had treasured for many years.

"Boss, are you okay?"

The goateed man nearby rushed forward quickly and held him steady.

But he didn't seem to care about his own safety, his eyes were fixed on the place where the stone met the statue.

In the light he caught a glimpse of a mouse pattern.

Instead of the expected crisp sound of stones hitting the statue, a sizzling sound like melting butter was heard in the house.

In the eyes of the two, the stone seemed to be absorbed by the statue and disappeared without a trace in an instant.

"Is this... true?"

The burly man muttered to himself, a look of disbelief on his face.

Then, the stone statue in front of him began to fade gradually.

From the legs, waist to the head, the stone statue gradually took on human skin color.

Da da da

As footsteps sounded, a handsome man with a black feather crown on his head and an obsidian necklace on his chest appeared in front of them.

"Is it now... the Fifth Sun Era?"

"you are?"

Faced with the subconscious question in front of him, the man in ancient costume did not hide anything.

"Tezcatlipoca, of course you can also call me [Smoke Mirror]"
