A person in Tokyo becomes a demon god

Chapter 79 Historical Nails

"America has withdrawn from the base,"

Akizuki Ryū, who had a comprehensive view of the situation, quickly discovered this change.

An army with a commander and one without a commander are completely different: but in this situation where someone is being bullied, what good is having a commander?
To reiterate, human weapons are designed to fight against human beings, aiming to eliminate enemies beyond visual range: as long as air superiority is achieved, one can basically do whatever one wants.

But now the knights have broken through.

It's equivalent to hundreds of tanks charging straight at you; defeat is only a matter of time.

Moreover, he even gave the prince a 'magical device' specifically to deal with modern communication.

An electromagnetic shield swept out, and if it didn't instantly revert us to World War II, it at least threw everyone into chaos, leaving them disoriented and unable to make any decisions.

Next-

America is probably going to go completely insane, so it'll be his turn to clean up the mess, huh?
Tokyo Bay,
On the amphibious command ship USS Blue Ridge.

Lieutenant General Thomas, who had just been transferred here, was on the phone in shock.

"Retreat now?"

"President, are you sure you've made a mistake?"

"Our side only suffered some 'acceptable' losses due to the enemy's surprise attack, and we will be able to regroup."

"There's no time, Lieutenant General."

On the other end of the phone came the slightly tired voice of the Golden-haired President.

"Just now, England, France, and Germany..."

One after another, the names of 'allies' came from the other end of the phone, leaving Lieutenant General Thomas completely bewildered.

"These countries have all issued warnings at the same time."

If they continue to 'attack' island nations, they will form an army to maintain world peace.

No, it should be said that a 'multinational army' is already on its way.

"what?"

"With them—"

Lieutenant General Thomas found it absurd: how dare those weaklings, who only deserved to sit outside the White House and wait to be received, band together to protest against the great America?

"And Da Mao also showed unusual activity."

This is troublesome.
"If we continue our 'attack' on Yokosuka, then..."

We are about to face a global siege!
of course,

Perhaps it's just a gesture from various countries.
But there are definitely some troublemakers among them.

America's practice of hoarding resources is nothing new.

The reason it has been able to maintain its glory for a century is that it has been able to exploit the world: militarily it has a huge aircraft carrier fleet, and culturally it has Wall Street controlling finance.

Now,

An opportunity has presented itself to other countries:

An opportunity to reshape the power structure, or even replace America.

"Why? England and France are our allies!"

"We even helped them win the war!"

"Calm down, Lieutenant General."

On the other end of the phone, the Golden Retriever's voice no longer had its usual toughness; it carried an undeniable weariness and exhaustion.

You should know the reason.

reason?

Yes, it is 'history'!
Lieutenant General Thomas was no fool; he quickly realized what was happening.

America has a history of only three hundred years.

Yes, the island nation's gods did not respond to the cabinet, but those 'monsters' have already appeared openly, even causing a 'spirit carnival' in Tokyo.

Now, only a small part of San Dezi's "Fairy Tale World" has been revealed. Whether it is a princess or a prince, their fighting power has attracted the attention and covetousness of countless powerful and wealthy people!
"The island nation has promised these countries to jointly research and develop 'supernatural powers,' on the condition that:"

Stand by his side!
This is not difficult to choose.
Most countries have their own 'history', their own 'myths', and their own 'legends'.

If supernatural forces spread from an island nation as the core...

Therefore, they are natural 'allies'.
Guess what?
Which country didn't receive an invitation?
Isn't this just classic 'American bullying'?

"We can also share—"

"Lieutenant General, do you believe such a thing?"

The president's rhetorical question left Lieutenant General Thomas speechless.

America's 'domineering' style is known all over the world.

If America were to take the lead in developing supernatural powers, other countries would be lucky to even smell the soup, let alone eat the meat!

In this situation, no national leader would agree to cooperate with the island nation rather than let the powerful America prolong its life through 'supernatural forces': at least the weak island nation needs them to deter America.

Then they will definitely offer benefits!
"How, how could it be possible?"

Lieutenant General Thomas held the microphone, wanting to say a thousand words, but unable to utter a single one.

Who is the culprit behind things getting to this point?

He knew it.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

"I surrender!"

"Don't kill me! I'll give you all the guns!"

After a fierce battle, the American soldiers finally realized, belatedly, that if they knelt down and surrendered, the knights would stop attacking them.

What's going on? If you had just said you would surrender, you wouldn't have been killed, and you wouldn't have wasted bullets and time.

"The enemy has already fled in panic; this battle—"

Amidst the smoke and blood of Yokosuka Port, the golden-armored prince stands proudly, sword raised.

"Our army has won a great victory!"

"Big victory!"

"Big victory!"

"Big victory!"

The silver-armored knights also raised their guns and shouted, it was indeed a great victory. Although the exact number had not yet been tallied, the few hundred of them had killed at least a thousand American soldiers, as well as various tanks, armored vehicles, and aircraft. It's not that they couldn't have killed more.

Instead, the other soldiers had already either hidden, fled, or knelt down begging for mercy: these knights disdained to kill prisoners.

"Follow me in triumph!"

"Face blindness and foot fetishism are not uncommon, are they?"

On the steps of the plaza where they had fought, the two beautiful women who had been locked in a life-or-death struggle were now chatting side by side.

“In our time, there is a group of people who are obsessed with ‘feet’.”

Kaori Inoue tried to persuade the other party.

She learned these things from her childhood sweetheart.

Akizuki Ritsu used to complain that the "erotic pictures" on the internet these days are just about sticking out a foot, which greatly annoyed those foot fetishists.

"Hehe, it sounds like your lover is quite interesting too."

The fight was over, and most of the resentment had dissipated.

A classic European beauty dressed as Cinderella, lifting her crystal shoes.

"Actually, it's not because of the prince."

It's mostly her own thing.
The Ugly Duckling that suddenly flew to the top of a branch

Born with a fear of the height of trees, it clings tightly to the branches; afraid of falling, even more afraid of waking up to find the prince has found a new love.

After all, she had nothing but a pumpkin carriage and glass slippers.

"Who said that?"

Kaori Inoue pointed out seriously:
"Isn't the 'martial arts skills' you've practiced so diligently the foundation for your survival?"

In the original Cinderella story, Cinderella doesn't fight; she's just a pretty face.

So, this 'Cinderella' chose to try flying.

"You've done a lot to help the prince."

Tap tap tap,

"My love, I want to apologize to you."

Just as the two were having a heart-to-heart talk, a series of hoofbeats sounded.

The 'prince' in golden armor has returned in triumph.
brush,

He got off his horse.

The prince removed his helmet, revealing a handsome face and long, golden hair as brilliant as a lion's mane.

"It was my fault for not noticing your inner unease."

The prince, who had just been slaughtering everyone, stepped forward.
He knelt down on one knee and placed his hand on his chest.

"Perhaps, as you fear, our love stems solely from a dance."

"But please believe me, during the time we spent together, I came to know your kind heart, your resilient character, and your occasional little temper."

As he spoke, the prince extended his hand.

"No matter what, you will always be my queen."

"My one and only true love."

"Your Highness, it's me."

Cinderella stepped forward and took the prince's hand; her eyes were filled with happiness.

"Look, isn't my prince handsome?"

Turning to his newly acquainted friend, he 'bragged':

"Yes, indeed."

Kaori Inoue nodded. Whether it was personality, appearance, or even strength, the other party's 'prince' was perfect.

but--

"If it's not what I like, then no matter how perfect it is, it's meaningless."

She only wants Brother Lu.

The girl used her little finger to tuck her flowing hair behind her ear; what happened next was none of her concern.

The wind whipped up by the helicopter overhead...
"Two,"

"Could I take up a little of your time?"

Inside the open cabin, half of Director Fujita's body was exposed.

“I am… well, the Minister of General Affairs of this country.”

"Please don't misunderstand, I am not with those troops; they are enemies who have invaded and are stationed in our country."

The battle is over, and it seems that neither Cinderella nor the prince are incapable of communicating.

Director Fujita didn't hesitate to come in person.

"It...it ended like this?"

Let alone ordinary people, even most of the powerful and wealthy in various countries are still completely unaware of this.

Seeing that the Seventh Fleet had actually withdrawn from Tokyo Bay, someone who was originally preparing to make a 'shining appearance' was left speechless with a mix of amusement and dismay.

His clones were poised to send the Seventh Fleet to the bottom of the sea to feed the fish, but America just chickened out, leaving him speechless.

Where is the domineering aura of the world's number one?

Shouldn't you be fighting to the death?
"It seems I overestimated America's determination to fight to the death."

Touching his chin, Akizuki Ritsu realized what was happening.

America

It is a typical 'isolated civilization'.

Taking advantage of its unique opportunities and geographical location during World War II,

This is how it rose to prominence, and its only rival, the Russian bear, collapsed on its own, making it a victory that came out of nowhere.

In its three hundred years of existence, the nation has seemingly been at war constantly, but in reality, it has never fought a single hard-fought battle. If it were to encounter a truly resilient civilization, it would surely be defeated.

With island nations now experiencing frequent supernatural disasters and other countries eyeing them covetously, America—lacking the courage to take a gamble—has chosen to retreat, which is not hard to understand, after all:

Even if we lose the island nation as a 'colony,' it's only an 'acceptable' loss.

And now we're going to war with the whole world and supernatural beings?
The risk is clearly too high!

"Fine,"

The person who had originally wanted to put on a 'grand show' shook their head.

"Then I'll—"

Go to sleep.
