Fate's Choice: Livestream at the Start Summoning Billions of Ravens

Tokyo time, 10:00 AM.

Beneath the Rainbow Bridge, the calm surface of Tokyo Bay is torn apart.

Four LCAC hovercraft belonging to the 1st Marine Expeditionary Force of America roared loudly, kicking up two high white waves, and rushed straight onto the beach of Shibaura Wharf.

The hatch opened, and fully armed soldiers wearing the latest exoskeleton combat suits filed out. Their movements were precise and swift, and within three minutes they had established a fan-shaped beachhead, with the dark muzzles of their guns pointing deep into the city.

At the same time, Yokohama Port.

Several Z-20 utility helicopters hovered over the container terminal, with ropes hanging down, and Chinese Marine Corps assault soldiers dressed in black combat uniforms with golden dragons embroidered on their armbands swiftly glided to the ground.

At Chiba Port, massive Il-76 transport planes skimmed low overhead, parachutes blooming in the air as the most elite airborne troops of the Russian Bear Nation began to assemble in their designated area.

At Kawasaki Port, the massive transport ship slowly docked, its gangway lowered, and the combined forces of the British and French drove their armored vehicles onto the land of the Sakura Kingdom.

Helicopters from dozens of media outlets around the world circled at a safe distance, their telephoto lenses transmitting this unprecedented scene in real time to the screens of billions of people worldwide.

The armies of five nations entered the Tokyo metropolitan area simultaneously from five different directions.

Throughout the entire process, they encountered no organized resistance.

It was exactly 12 noon.

hum.

All mobile phones within the Tokyo area, regardless of brand or whether they were on silent mode, simultaneously emitted a sharp emergency alarm and forcibly popped up an unclosable push notification window.

The title of the window is: "Tokyo Temporary Zoning Control Ordinance".

Released by: Joint Operations Command of the Five Nations.

Below the announcement is an electronic map.

The entire 23 wards of Tokyo are completely divided by five glaring colors.

Chiyoda Ward, representing the political heart of the city, was painted in the colors of the American flag.

Ota Ward and Koto Ward, which have two major transportation hubs, Haneda Airport and Tokyo Port, were painted a bright red.

The most bustling commercial and entertainment centers, Shinjuku and Shibuya, belong to the white of the Russian bear country.

The remaining core urban areas are managed by John Bull and Gallic Rooster respectively.

Yokohama Port, the temporary command post of the Chinese advance force.

A commander with the rank of senior colonel handed a newly printed district map to a young man in a white tracksuit next to him.

"Advisor Jiang, look, we've taken over Daejeon and Gangdong wards, and Haneda Airport is now in our hands. It's the most important transportation hub, which will make it much easier for supplies and personnel from within the country to come over."

Jiang Ming, advisor of the Ninth Bureau, took the map, glanced at it, and then returned it.

"fine."

"Director Chen sent me here just to observe and watch the show. The specific actions are up to your military; I will absolutely not interfere."

After saying that, he walked out of the temporary command post alone and strolled around the port area, which was filled with containers and cranes.

The newly released "Tokyo Temporary Zoning Control Ordinance" is more than just a map.

It also stipulates a strict 10 p.m. curfew, and all public transportation except for licensed vehicles is suspended.

All news articles must be reviewed by the Joint Command Press Censorship Office before they can be published.

In just two hours, all the social functions of Tokyo, this international metropolis, were completely taken over by cold military control.

On the street, you can occasionally see some Japanese citizens hurrying along.

They watched as convoys of armored vehicles painted with foreign insignia drove past them, and they looked at the heavily armed, expressionless foreign soldiers, whose faces showed no anger or sadness, only a deep-seated numbness.

They simply lowered their heads silently, quickened their pace, and walked past these landscapes that did not belong to them.

Chiyoda Ward, the Prime Minister's Official Residence of the Sakura Country.

A Stars and Stripes flag slowly rose beside the existing flagpole.

The Self-Defense Force honor guard that remained on duty received orders from the Joint Command.

They were asked to lower their own national flag by hand.

The second day of the joint takeover.

Under the high pressure of military control, social order in Tokyo has initially been restored to stability.

America set up numerous checkpoints at various intersections in Chiyoda Ward to conduct rigorous checks on all passing vehicles and personnel.

Huaguo organized a large number of engineering troops in the Jiangdong District to quickly repair the port facilities and roads damaged by the earlier riots.

Everything seemed to be in good order.

Until 3 p.m.

Shinjuku Ward, under the jurisdiction of the Russian Bear Country.

In front of Shinjuku Station, on a spacious plaza.

Approximately 300 members of far-right groups from Japan, waving Japanese flags and carrying baseball bats and homemade Molotov cocktails, attempted to storm a checkpoint set up by the Russian army.

"The black card is causing trouble!"

"Down with the invaders!"

They shouted slogans long since swept into the dustbin of history, and threw Molotov cocktails at the BTR-80 wheeled armored vehicle blocking the intersection.

The glass bottle shattered on the hard armor surface, and orange-red flames instantly engulfed the vehicle.

But flames of this intensity are barely a tickle to military armor.

There was no response from inside the armored vehicle.

In response, they were met with a dark, high-pressure water cannon mounted on the roof of the vehicle.

laugh!

A massive torrent of water, as thick as a bucket, shot out with unparalleled force, instantly knocking over the front row of people.

Several people were knocked to the ground by the immense force, tumbling and crashing into the crowd behind them.

Immediately afterwards, several tear gas canisters were launched from the rear of the armored vehicle, exploding in the chaotic crowd and quickly filling the air with acrid white smoke.

The Russian soldiers, wearing gas masks and carrying huge riot shields and batons, marched in neat rows like bulldozers into the chaotic crowd.

There were no warnings, no advice.

There were only the dull thuds of batons hitting bones and painful screams.

The entire riot was completely quelled within just five minutes.

All the rioters had their hands tied behind their backs with white cable ties, were forcibly pushed down, and made to kneel on the cold roadside.

A tall, burly Russian officer, a cigar dangling from his mouth, slowly stepped off an armored vehicle.

He walked up to the far-right leader, whose face was covered in blood, raised his heavy military boot, and stomped hard on the man's head, pressing his face firmly into the dirty ground.

The officer lowered his head and exhaled a smoke ring.

This scene was clearly captured by many onlookers hiding in the distance, who then uploaded it to the internet.

The photo spread like wildfire around the world in just half an hour.

A brand new hashtag, #RussianPeacekeeping#, quickly climbed to the top of the trending topics lists in more than 100 countries in an extremely crude manner.

Global online public opinion was instantly ignited.

On online forums and social media in Japan, there was an overwhelming outpouring of grief and anger.

"A disgrace! This is an unprecedented humiliation for our nation!"

"How dare they! How dare they treat our people like this on our own land!"

"Get out! All invaders, get out of our country! This is the land of cherry blossoms, not your colony!"

"Protest! Protest to the whole world! We are not slaves of a conquered nation! We still have dignity!"

However, their voices sound so faint in the vast ocean of the international internet.

These angry remarks were quickly translated and spread to other countries' networks, but instead of sympathy, they were met with a barrage of ridicule and rebuttals.

The comment section of Chinese netizens became the front line of this online war of words.

"Laughable. Now you know how to talk about dignity? When you summoned Shuten-dōji to massacre people in Shinjuku, where was your dignity? Where was your dignity when Madara Uchiha was creating meteorites over Hiroshima?"

"The person upstairs is right. They had cockroaches in their own home, and they even raised them to be like Godzilla, almost setting the whole building on fire. Now that their neighbors have come in to help them kill the cockroaches, they're complaining that the neighbors have dirtied their floors? What kind of childish logic is that?"

"To be fair, the Russians' move was indeed simple and brutal, but when dealing with right-wingers who only have militaristic ideas in their minds, you have to use the only language they can understand."

"I looked it up, and the slogan these people were chanting was 'Heavy Kabanzai.' It's the 21st century, and they're still clinging to the ashes of World War II. Even the Soviet Union's military boots would find this kind of trash dirty."

"Stop with the double standards, okay? Look at our People's Liberation Army, helping you repair the port, clean up the garbage, and restore order in Jiangdong District. Why don't you come out and thank them? But you react so strongly to the iron fist of the Russian bear. To put it bluntly, you're just being cheap and deserve to be taught a lesson."

"I hereby declare the selection of the five greatest benefactors in the Holy Grail War officially underway! I'll cast my vote for the Russian bear first! This is called physical salvation, and its merits are immeasurable!"

"The funniest thing is that their own government has surrendered and accepted 'joint takeover,' and now a bunch of right-wingers are jumping out and shouting 'no!' Whose face are they slapping? Isn't this the legendary 'the Imperial Army can control me, but you can't control me'?"

"A meme sums it up: Japan: I just want to summon a Heroic Spirit to fight in the Holy Grail War. The whole world: No, you want to destroy your country."
