Genshin Impact, but the chat group

"Alright, your mission is now complete. Scorpio will be here soon. Do you want to observe Scorpio up close, or go back to the Tokyo area and find a safe place to rest?"

"I want to observe Scorpio up close."

For Hiruko Kagetane, Scorpio was not a threat. With his physical abilities, although he couldn't kill Scorpio or some slightly weaker Gastrea, he could certainly protect himself from such threats.

Therefore, he wanted to see Scorpio, or more precisely, he wanted to see how this mysterious person, Li Yue, would deal with Scorpio.

A Level 5 Zodiac Gastrea! How many Level 5 Zodiac Gastrea have died in the world so far? These terrifying monsters are the main reason why humanity has lost up to 90% of its population. They are so powerful that human weapons are useless against them, and they are constantly spreading viruses, causing many humans and animals to be infected and become the Gastrea army we see today. The more humans fight, the fewer there are, while the more Gastrea there are.

The reason why humanity is now considered to be barely surviving is because the LV5 Zodiac remains a threat to humanity. Those holmium metal monuments that can resist Gastrea can only resist ordinary Gastrea, and are completely useless against the LV5 Zodiac.

"Since you want to see it up close, then come along with me."

As Li Yue spoke, she drew the Yama Blade from her waist and slashed at the air.

A blue portal appeared, and on the other side of the portal was a pitch-black floor.

"This is!"

Hiruko Kagetane's eyes widened again beneath his mask. Before, Li Yue moved so fast right in front of him that he couldn't even catch a trace of her. Later, she even became invisible right in front of him. Now, she even directly slashed out a portal with a single strike. Just who was this person in front of him?

Overwhelmed with shock, Hiruko Kagetane, holding Kohina's hand, followed Li Yue across the portal. On the other side of the portal was none other than the holmium metal megalith on the outskirts of Tokyo.

"Hahahaha~~~"

Looking down at Tokyo, Hiruko Kagetane burst into laughter, covering his head.

"That's amazing! I never imagined you possessed such power!"

"May I have the honor of knowing your identity?"

Hiruko Kagetane removed his formal attire and knelt down on one knee directly in front of Li Yue.

What do you think my identity should be?

"Who are you?"

Hiruko Kagetane looked up at Li Yue and fell into deep thought.

"You can confirm it later. Now, let's wait for Scorpio to arrive."

Li Yue didn't say anything more, but crossed her arms and looked towards the Pacific Ocean.

Hiruko Kagetane didn't say anything more. Instead, he stood up, stood behind Li Yue, put on his top hat, and then they looked towards the Pacific Ocean, because that was where Scorpio would appear.

As the Seven Stars Relic was unlocked, Scorpio, far away in the Pacific Ocean, immediately sensed the presence of that tricycle and began rushing towards Tokyo.

The movements of Scorpio naturally did not escape the notice of satellites in Tokyo. Because a large number of dark clouds suddenly appeared over the forests surrounding Tokyo, the satellites could only focus their lenses on the outer edge of the clouds, and then they saw the movements on the sea.

Scorpio is so large that even when it moves underwater, it causes violent ripples on the surface of the water. Wherever it moves, the seawater surges up due to its impact, forming a huge bulge. This scene was easily captured by satellites.

As the satellite images were transmitted back to the command center in Tokyo, the Emperor and Kikunojo Tendou learned of it.

"The legacy of the Seven Stars has been unlocked!"

408. Tokyo Destruction Crisis

[A sadistic scumbag: Is this the post-apocalyptic world? But it doesn't feel like the end of the world at all.]

[How arrogant! This is clearly a perfectly normal city, not a post-apocalyptic one. And that tower...that's the Tokyo Tower! This is Tokyo!]

[A plump woman in black stockings: This must be Tokyo in another world.]

[I'm hungry: Although you might not think this is the end of the world, and this is indeed Tokyo, Tokyo is currently the only place left in the Kanto region.]

[The sadistic scumbag: Well, it's not that your place isn't apocalyptic enough. After all, the group admin said before that your world has already lost 90% of its population, making it an absolute apocalypse. But your Tokyo doesn't look apocalyptic at all!]

[How arrogant! Yes, yes, what post-apocalyptic world has a magnificent city like yours? You should be building wasteland structures! Those so-called glamorous cities built in the apocalypse are a complete waste of resources! With those resources for such massive construction, you should strengthen your defenses and prepare properly for enemy attacks!]

[I'm hungry: How about this? Unfortunately, I don't quite understand.]

[Silly Guy: It's understandable if you don't quite understand. Even though it's the end of the world, those in power are still in power. Naturally, they want to live comfortably, so they build skyscrapers. And the wealthy people under them also want to live comfortably, so they also build skyscrapers. The so-called wasteland is just a place where those without money or power live.]

[A plump woman in black stockings: Tsk, even in this apocalyptic world, she's still like this. She deserves to look like this.]

While waiting for Scorpio to arrive, Li Yue didn't just stand there. Instead, she opened the chat group and started a live stream, letting the group members see what this world was like.

However, Tokyo doesn't really look like a post-apocalyptic city, which has led to some group members making a lot of sarcastic comments.

[Silly Person: People always want to live a good life. Although I don't quite understand how Tokyo, such a small place, can run its businesses so well, and even have time to produce anime like "Girls of the Sky Jewels," I guess their resources are never a problem.]

Tokyo in the world of Dark Bullet is indeed outrageous. The Tokyo area is not large, but it is no different from before the disaster. It has everything, and resources do not seem to be scarce at all. People even have time to hold demonstrations. The resources required to maintain modern life for so many people in the Tokyo area are terrifying. The reason why Tokyo was able to appear so prosperous in the past was that almost half of Japan was sending resources to Tokyo.

Industrial and agricultural resources are constantly being transported to Tokyo, which is why Tokyo is so prosperous. In other words, every major city relies on the supply of resources from surrounding areas or even distant regions to develop. Tokyo, with such a small area, is able to do such a fancy thing. It can only be said that their resources seem to have appeared out of thin air.

[I'm hungry: But, even though I'm in Tokyo, it's the first time I've experienced seeing Tokyo from someone else's perspective. It feels quite magical.]

[Silly Guy: You're about to see something even more shocking.]

Li Yue adjusted the camera's angle, pointing it towards the sea.

[A sadistic scumbag: The forest?]

How arrogant: the ocean?

[Plump woman in black stockings: What's so magical about this?]

[Silly Guy: The magical time hasn't arrived yet, but you'll see it very soon.]

In the field of vision, the once calm sea began to ripple. Although it was night, the moonlight still shone on the sea. The dark clouds that Li Yue had gathered earlier had dissipated under Li Yue's control. Since the children of the curse had all left, there was no need to use the power of the North Wind to retrieve them, so the dark clouds were no longer needed.

Under the moonlight, the waves on the sea grew larger and larger, and the sea became increasingly turbid. The seawater near the shore looked as if it were being churned up by a bunch of propellers.

[Silly Guy: Here I am.]

On the beach, the seawater that had been constantly washing over the sand suddenly began to recede rapidly, like the ebb tide. However, the speed of this receding tide was astonishing. After the seawater receded by tens of meters, huge waves began to rise on the surface of the sea and rushed directly towards the shore.

[Crazy, scumbag boyfriend: It's a tsunami!]

The seawater gathered together, turning into a tsunami that rushed onto the beach, swept across the sand and into the forest. The trees in the forest were instantly snapped, and some were even uprooted. Only the thick trees that had grown for decades were able to hold on and not be swept away.

The Gastrea hidden in the forest were naturally washed away by the sea. The Gastrea, which were usually incredibly heavy, were swept away by the sea and carried deep into the land. Some Gastrea were washed onto the rocks and smashed in half, while others were even torn to pieces.

Blood of various colors mingled with the seawater, turning the already murky waters completely black.

But this was just the appetizer; the real culprit that triggered this terrifying tsunami has now appeared.

A colossal body slowly emerged as the seawater surged ashore. Its dark brown, cracked muscles were covered in scars, resembling those of smallpox, with protrusions growing on them. Eight sickle-shaped, barbed objects pierced the skin from its neck, head, and right eye. Its head was abnormally large, with a bird-beak-like curved object extending unnaturally from the corner of its mouth. Its left eye was pitifully small. After emerging from the water, this enormous body slowly stood upright, reaching a height of several hundred meters. This towering body moved on its two thick legs, but the ground was too soft for it, causing both legs to sink into the muddy sand near the shore. This meant that although it had emerged from the sea and stood up, it could not walk quickly, each step sinking deep into the mud.

[A depraved, scumbag boyfriend: What is this? A monster?]

[Silly Guy: Remember what I said before about the virus monster that humans created themselves?]

[Black-stockinged, chubby woman: So, this is the Gastrea that was infected with Gastreavirus?]

[Silly Guy: That's right, and they're the original Gastrea that caused the most casualties among humans.]

[I'm hungry: Is this what Scorpio is like?]

[Silly Guy: Yes, now, the crisis of Tokyo's destruction has begun!]

409. The Final Battle Weapon

Scorpio was attempting to land, but the soft seabed slowed its progress. Before it could fully reach the shore, the Tokyo Maritime Self-Defense Force launched an attack.

Despite having experienced the Gastrea Wars, Tokyo still had the money and resources to establish the Maritime Self-Defense Force. However, this hard-won Maritime Self-Defense Force was ruthlessly crushed by Scorpio.

The naval forces in the Tokyo area were completely destroyed on the spot. After destroying the Tokyo Maritime Self-Defense Force, Scorpio continued to advance towards land. The Seven Star Relics that summoned it were originally in a church by the sea, but the tsunami it caused by landing washed the Seven Star Relics deep into the land, and that direction happened to be towards Tokyo.

Scorpio's enormous body slowly moved into the darkness. Like the seabed, the land was still relatively soft for it, causing it to leave a crater more than ten meters deep with each step. Its heavy and massive body made it move extremely slowly and with great difficulty on land. If it were in the sea, it could lie down and use its huge tentacles to move forward quickly, but unfortunately, the conditions on land were far inferior to those in the sea.

Scorpio has appeared, and the commotion is so great that it has been felt throughout Tokyo. Even from a distance, some high-rise buildings in Tokyo can see Scorpio's massive body, which is incredibly clear under the moonlight, even from tens of kilometers away.

"Scorpio has finally appeared."

Inside the Tokyo command center, the Holy Emperor looked at the enormous figure of Scorpio on the screen and sat down helplessly.

"Assistant Tendou, is there any way to stop Scorpio?"

"Unfortunately, our army does not have the weapons to stop him."

"Wouldn't Tokyo be destroyed?"

"That's not necessarily true. Although our army doesn't have the weapons to stop it, there are outside of Tokyo!"

Kikunojo Tendo directly ordered the controller to move the satellite's camera and focus it on a giant building in the forest outside Tokyo.

"This is the Heavenly Ladder, officially named the Linear Electromagnetic Projection Device."

This is the ultimate weapon built by humans to fight against the Zodiac during the Gastrea Wars. It is a railgun module that can fire metal projectiles with a diameter of less than 800mm at sub-light speed. Before it could be officially used in the Gastrea Wars, humans were defeated and forced to withdraw, and it was abandoned in the forest.

Although the cell phone was abandoned, the main body of the weapon was completed and it was ready to be used. However, due to its large size, it was difficult to move. In addition, with the Gastrea attack, humans could not defend it to the death for the sake of the weapon, as the casualties would be too great. Therefore, it was abandoned. In essence, it was still usable.

"Scorpio has begun its landing, but this weapon is also usable. We can send someone to activate it and use it to kill Scorpio!"

"Then send someone over quickly!"

The Holy Emperor was very anxious. She immediately issued an order to send people to activate the Heavenly Ladder, determined to keep Scorpio out of Tokyo.

After the Holy Emperor gave the order, Tendou Kikunojo nodded to the officers, and only then did the officers begin to act.

Since the police had already withdrawn, and it was only the first day, Rentaro Satomi had no chance to become the hero in this battle against Scorpio. The military directly dispatched helicopters carrying holmium shells to transport them to the Sky Ladder.

Li Yue and Hiruko Kageyu stood atop the stone monument, where they could clearly see the helicopter that had departed from Tokyo and was flying towards the Heavenly Ladder.

"Sir, should I stop them?"

Hiruko Kagetane was naturally familiar with the Heavenly Ladder. After all, it was the ultimate weapon known to the whole world back then, but it had never been fired even once.

Seeing helicopters flying in that direction, Hiruko Kagetane learned of Tokyo's intentions and volunteered to Ri Yue.

"I can guarantee I'll stop them!"

As Li Yue had previously stated, the Heavenly Ladder was one of the methods Tokyo used to stop Scorpio, but as a subordinate of Li Yue, Hiruko Kagetane couldn't let Li Yue do it himself. So, he had to do the dirty work.

Moreover, he was quite happy to do this kind of dirty and tiring work.

"No need. It's too much of a waste of time to go all that way to deal with those people."

Li Yue shook his head, rejecting Hiruko Kagetane's application to participate in the competition.
