Global Games: My Skills Can Be Upgraded Infinitely

Chapter 111 Date Munehide

Changsheng Cave Heaven: "May I ask, senior, if the altar is a seal, then what about the longevity that attracts others to the stone slab?"

Mo Lan was puzzled.

Xu Fu explained, "After Orochi died, I established a court and ordered the construction of this altar, hoping to weaken and suppress the power of the True Ancestor."

"Unfortunately, I died before that, and this bronze tablet was altered by someone with ulterior motives."

"My original intention was to send the stone tablet back to the Qin Dynasty and inform the First Emperor that one of the true ancestors was being suppressed here, and that the seal must not be broken and that the seal should be further enhanced for generations to come."

"But as the saying goes, when a person dies, his policies cease. After I die, people will forget how terrifying the True Ancestor was."

Mo Lan tasted the tea brewed by Xu Fu; it was quite delicious. "Who dares to tamper with your stone tablet?"

Xu Fu sighed: "I'm afraid it was my disciple who was bewitched by the remnants of Orochi's power and altered the information on the stone tablet."

"Fortunately, the last seal I left on the bronze cauldron was not broken, and the stone slab was later lost to history."

"One piece was enshrined by the Japanese court, and the other was seized by the Yuan court. Unexpectedly, it eventually ended up in the hands of the Ming Dynasty."

""

"Looking back now, it was all fate."

"I can feel that the power of the Orochi True Ancestor has gradually recovered because the integrity of the Longevity Cave Heaven was destroyed."

""

"If he wants to break the seal on the altar, then he only has one path to take."

"What?" Mo Lan pricked up her ears.

Xu Fu looked at the moon in the sky and sighed slowly: "Blood sacrifice."

"A large-scale blood sacrifice covering the entire city of Kyoto—that's probably the true purpose of 'Yagito'. But now, it's already too late."

As soon as Xu Fu finished speaking, Mo Lan's mission guidance updated again.

[Mission Guide: Orochi's millennia-long scheme has begun, with a large-scale blood sacrifice already underway. No one can stop it; the only way to break this deadlock is to seek a final solution from Xu Fu.]

[Final Mission: Defeat the sixth-ranking Yamata no Makoto, who is possessing Date Munehide.]

"Was I too late?" Mo Lan asked, reflecting on her journey and wondering where she had gone wrong.

Xu Fu shook his head: "Orochi has waited for this day for far too long, and no one can stop him."

Okay, then Mo Lan understands.

This is a linear copy; no matter how the process goes, it will eventually reach this step.

During the time the two were talking.

Hojo Masanobu's Tenka Gosho (Imperial Palace) has been engulfed in flames and thick smoke.

This fire was like a divine punishment, a judgment upon Hojo Masanobu's tyranny and inhumanity.

All the guards and generals had fallen in pools of blood.

When Kiyono Genichiro returned to the Tenka Gosho, he was greeted by this scene of purgatory.

He stood there, stunned, and saw a tall man slowly emerge from the fire.

The man was holding a severed head; it was none other than Hojo Masanobu.

"Date Munehide...!"

Kiyono Genichiro's clothes beneath his armor were soaked with cold sweat, because the man standing before him at this moment no longer seemed like a human being.

Date Munehide slowly raised his head, his deep red eyes like those of a demon, and gave him a smile: "Long time no see, Genichiro-kun."

"You...!" Kiyono Genichiro pressed one hand tightly against the katana at his waist, but still didn't have the courage to draw the blade.

This was his biological instinct protecting him from attacking the person in front of him, otherwise he would die instantly at their hands.

Date Munehide, carrying Hojo Masanobu's head, slowly walked past Kiyono Genichiro, leaving behind a casual remark: "Genichiro-kun, in consideration of your past help to me, you shall witness the demise of the Hojo clan."

After Date Munehide was betrayed by Hojo Masanobu, only Kiyono Genichiro, out of consideration for their past friendship, spoke up for him and helped him out financially on several occasions.

This is why Date Munehide spared his life.

After Date Munehide left, Kiyono Genichiro collapsed to his knees as if all his strength had been drained, panting heavily.

When Date Munehide arrived in Kyoyama with Hojo Masanobu's head, the city's defenders, beset by internal and external troubles, collapsed in disarray.

Hojo Masanobu's army, which had just been transferred from Kyoto, was completely wiped out by Date Munehide before it even reached Kyoyama.

Thus, amidst the raging fire that engulfed the Imperial Palace, the Hojo clan completely withdrew from the stage of power struggles.

"Damn it... that Date Munehide, he acted way too fast!"

Xia Shan Overseas:

Having failed in his mission, Fujino Seiran fled through the forest, pursued by a ninja squad.

He never expected that while he was fighting well on the front lines of Xiashan Kingdom, his hometown would suddenly be burned down.

With Hojo Masanobu's death, their faction was immediately deemed to have failed the mission, and the remaining players scattered and fled.

"You dare to chase us? You're asking for death!" Seeing that the ninja squads were relentlessly pursuing them, Fujino Seiran, after confirming that there was no large force around, decisively drew his weapon, Kaiyou.

In just over ten rounds, all the ninja troops were killed by him.

Fujino Seiran slowly sheathed his sword.

[Quest Guide: Because your main quest failed, your remaining quests will be merged into the main quests of other players.]

]

You are free to choose which side to join, but your score for all subsequent tasks will only be 50% of the original score.

The factions you can currently choose from are as follows:

[1: Date Munehide. The main storyline for this faction is Bloodstained Kyoto, eliminating all hostile forces.]

[2: Embroidered Uniform Guard. The main objective of this faction is to eliminate the Orochi True Ancestor.]

"Next..."

After a brief hesitation, Fujino Seiran changed direction and headed straight for the Jinyiwei's garrison.

He could have chosen to defect to the enemy and join Date Munehide's new camp, but Fujino Seiran was actually very unhappy about it.

Damn it, he's already ruined his own reputation, how could he possibly still go and be someone else's dog?

Fujino Seiran preferred to take a gamble with the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

The upcoming factional conflict will most likely revolve around Kyoto.

The Embroidered Uniform Guard faction will also step into the limelight.

It wasn't until Fujino Seiran arrived at the Jinyiwei's garrison that he learned Mo Lan had already gone to Changsheng Cave.

Ji Yunting said, "Mr. Fujino, our commander has given instructions that you may stay at the camp for the time being if you wish."

Fujino Seiran was surprised that Mo Lan had made arrangements for this in advance, so he took the opportunity to join the Jinyiwei camp.

Your faction has been updated to: Embroidered Uniform Guard.

[Mission Guide: Defend the Jinyiwei residence, resist the impending attack, and await the Jinyiwei commander to retrieve the dungeon items from Changsheng Cave.]

"ah?"

Fujino Seiran felt unlucky; he had only just arrived at Mo Lan's side when the battle was about to begin.

But since things had come to this, he had no choice but to accept the situation, while praying in his heart that Mo Lan would return soon.

After Date Munehide murdered his lord and took over the military legacy left by Hojo Masanobu, he faced almost no obstacles.

That's just how things are in Japan; backstabbing between rulers and subjects is as common as drinking water. This is an inevitable distortion caused by the scarcity of natural resources.

The men below would follow whoever could lead them to victory and provide them with food.

After Date Munehide seized power, his first order was to abandon Kyoto and return directly to Kyoto.

"Date Munehide, what are you doing! This is the Imperial Palace!"

Outside the Kyoto Imperial Palace, the ministers felt a sense of foreboding as they watched Date Munehide arrive with a group of samurai.

Date Munehide smiled slightly.

Hojo Masanobu was the destined one to establish his own government.

Therefore, after killing Hojo Masanobu, he further nourished the progenitor finger within his body by absorbing the power of destiny from the other party.

Now, Date Munehide has set his sights on the entire Kyoto Imperial Family.

"Date Munehide, could it be... you intend to kill your lord?!"

The chief minister, his beard bristling, blocked the entrance to the imperial palace, berating Date Munehide: "You wolf in sheep's clothing! How can you repay His Majesty's bestowal of titles upon you? The Kujo clan's army is already marching towards Kyoto! You'd better..."

He was speaking when a head flew high into the air.

Date Munehide wiped the blood from his face: "Boring."

Behind Date Munehide, a samurai commander swallowed hard upon seeing this: "Sir, are we really going to do this?"

"Isn't this... not a good idea?"

Date Munehide narrowed his eyes slightly, a hint of disdain and disgust showing in them.

He despised the country's high-ranking officials, who were clearly greedy to the core, like maggots crawling on rotten flesh, yet they still disguised themselves as righteous and dedicated to the people.

That's... absolutely disgusting.

Date Munehide gently raised his hand, and like a demon, he plucked the head off the general who had voiced his doubts.

Then, without turning his head, he said indifferently, "Any more objections? You all."

"No!"

Upon seeing this, the other samurai turned pale with fright and immediately knelt on one knee before Date Munehide, vowing to follow him to the death, sir!

Date Munehide then headed towards the palace: "Once the palace is cleared out, let's deal with those Imperial Guards. The Eternal Heaven, hehe..."
