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

Five minutes later.

The first compressed video appeared online.

The video's title is simple and blunt: "God, or demon, has descended upon Akihabara."

In the video, the towering tree that grew wildly from under the asphalt road occupies the center of the entire frame.

Beneath the giant tree lay the wreckage of more than a dozen BTR-80 armored vehicles, pierced, entangled, and crushed into twisted shapes by the tree roots.

Broken metal and mangled flesh mingled together, creating a hellish scene.

At the end of the video, dozens of pure black ravens fly out from the shadow of the giant tree, circle once, and then disappear into the horizon.

Following the second, third, and dozens more videos shot from different angles in higher definition, they began to spread virally on all major social media platforms such as Twitter, YouTube, Facebook, Weibo, and TikTok.

#Akihabara Sacred Tree#

#Crow God VS Madara#

#The Bears were wiped out#

Three simple and direct keywords, in just thirty minutes, reached the top of the social media trending lists in more than 180 countries and regions around the world at an unprecedented speed.

"My God... this is a massacre! A blatant massacre! Those soldiers were just carrying out their duties! What right did he have to do this?"

"He's not the Raven God, he's the Butcher of Tokyo! A complete madman! He's more terrifying than Madara Uchiha and Arjuna combined!"

"He must be punished! China must hand over this monster! If he dares to massacre the UN forces in Tokyo today, he'll dare to plant this damned tree in New York, London, and Paris tomorrow!"

The Western internet, led by the bald eagle, is filled with fear, anger, and condemnation.

Countless keyboard warriors have labeled Jiang Ming, the Mirror No. 1, as a war criminal who indiscriminately killed innocent people, and demanded that the international community impose the most severe sanctions on him.

However, on the other side of the wall, online public opinion in China presents a completely different picture.

"Holy crap! That's incredibly cool! In the blink of an eye, the Tree Realm descended! This is truly a superhuman from our own China!"

"Don't talk nonsense upstairs. What massacre? Didn't you see the Russian sniper fire first? Didn't you see their armored vehicles charge up first? That's self-defense!"

"Exactly! I won't offend others unless they offend me! If they do, I'll wipe them out completely! Crow God did a great job! He'll definitely deal with any kind of dissent!"

Soon, a more complete video, released by the Ninth Intendant, circulated on the Chinese internet.

The video clearly records the entire process of the Russian sniper firing the first shot and the bullet hitting Jiang Ming's Mirror Image No. 1.

It also recorded how those dozen or so armored vehicles charged at high speed toward the two people in the center of the street in a standard pincer attack.

unambiguous evidence.

Chinese netizens were instantly in an uproar.

Countless people poured out of the high walls, holding screenshots of video evidence, and engaged in fierce debates with those who condemned them on external online platforms such as Twitter and YouTube.

"Open your eyes and see clearly! It was your so-called 'peacekeeping forces' that struck first!"

"Your soldiers are allowed to shoot and kill, but we're not allowed to fight back? What kind of robber logic is that?"

"A classic case of double standards! They're notorious for their double standards!"

"Damn! The Japanese surrendered and asked the five permanent members of the UN Security Council for peacekeeping, and the Russians came up and attacked our people right away? Do they really think we're pushovers?"

"Well done! That's how it should be done! Anyone who dares to touch our people, whether they're a permanent member of the UN Security Council or not, we'll wipe them out!"

"Those white pigs and banana people clamoring on the internet, look carefully: they started it! What we did was self-defense!"

#CrowGodJustifiedSelfDefense#

Thanks to the efforts of countless Chinese netizens, this hashtag was pushed to the top of the trending topics list on Weibo in China, forming a stark contrast with the hashtag #TokyoButcher# on foreign websites.

Two stances, two voices.

Amid this escalating global war of words, a deeper fear has begun to spread in the hearts of ordinary people.

Whether condemning or supporting, everyone has to admit one fact: humanity's existing armed forces are incredibly fragile in the face of these monsters known as "superhumans".

Today, it's Russia that's unlucky; who's next?

When reasoning fails and weapons become ineffective, what can humanity rely on?

In the midst of the panic, some people remembered the silver-armored saintess who had used a holy flag to block a meteorite not long ago over Hiroshima.

It also reminded me of the Arbiter who took away the world-destroying demon god with golden chains on the ruins of New Delhi.

Thus, a new wave of public opinion began to emerge on the chaotic internet.

"@Vatican News, save us! Ruler! Joan of Arc! The Chinese Raven God has gone mad! He is abusing his power! Please step in and punish him!"

"I beg you! Arbiter! You are the guardian of the Holy Grail War's order! This slaughter can no longer be tolerated!"

"He killed over three hundred people! That's over three hundred lives! Doesn't this violate the rules of the Holy Grail War? Please give a fair judgment!"

Within just one hour, the comment section of the Vatican's official Twitter account was completely flooded with millions of messages from around the world.

People seemed to have grasped at the last straw, frantically praying that the "arbitrator" who was above all the participants would step forward and stop this out-of-control disaster.

Tokyo, the temporary command post of the five-nation joint operation force of the Russian Federation.

A burly Russian general was staring intently at the huge electronic screen in front of him.

On the screen is real-time footage transmitted from the drone at high altitude.

In the heart of Akihabara, the giant tree that defies all the laws of nature stands silently, its branches swaying in the breeze, as if mocking the insignificance of humankind.

"General, preliminary casualty statistics are in..."

A staff officer stepped forward and reported in a dry voice.

"The first and second armored infantry companies, along with their attached sniper detachments and heavy fire support units... a total of 317 men... have all been confirmed dead, with no survivors."

The general's fists clenched so tightly they cracked.

Three hundred and seventeen people.

A reinforced battalion's worth of troops.

In less than ten seconds, they were all wiped out by a single tree.

This is no longer a battle; it's a one-sided crushing defeat and a humiliation.

He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and when he opened them again, only cold madness remained in his gray-blue pupils.

He suddenly turned to the communications officer beside him.

"Connect me to Moscow! Top-secret encryption! I need to report directly to the defense command center!"

"Yes, General!"

The line was connected quickly.

"This is the Tokyo Joint Operations Force. At 3:40 PM Tokyo time, our unit was openly attacked by the Chinese superhuman 'Crow God' in the Akihabara area."

"Three hundred and seventeen of our officers and soldiers sacrificed their lives heroically."

He encrypted all the video footage from the scene, along with the horrifying report of casualties, and sent it over.

One hour later.

Chinese Embassy in Moscow.

The ambassador had just finished a day's work and was preparing to have dinner.

A phone rang urgently.

It was an emergency note from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation.

"...The Ross Federation expresses its strongest protest and condemnation of the heinous war crimes committed by your country's superhumans in Tokyo."

"We demand that the Chinese government hand over the murderer Jiang Ming within 24 hours and provide full compensation for all losses caused by this incident."

"Otherwise, the Ross Federation reserves the right to take all necessary measures."
