Reborn as a lotus, she initially refuses to hand it over to the state.

On the Tokyo internet.

The internet celebrity who was publicly mocking China just a few hours ago is named Watanabe Taro.

He is currently hiding in an apartment in Yokohama, and he recently posted a video.

The video title is: [The Dragon Kingdom was saved by the Lotus Demon; the Island Nation would never be in such a sorry state.]

In the comments section.

Many netizens from island nations joined in the mockery.

"Island nations possess the most comprehensive coastal defenses."

"It's pathetic that the Dragon Kingdom needs a monster to stop the beast tide."

"If the beast tide comes to the island nation, it can be completely wiped out in an hour."

But now, the smugness on Watanabe Taro's face has long since disappeared.

He huddled under the window, his phone camera pointed at him, and said in horror, "There are no Self-Defense Forces outside anymore. There were sea monsters passing by on the street just now. They seemed to be searching building by building."

The number of viewers in the live stream continues to rise.

Some netizens from island nations hurriedly inquired.

"Didn't you say the defenses were secure? Why did Yokohama fall? What exactly is the Tokyo Disaster Countermeasures Bureau doing?"

Some netizens from China also recognized him.

"Isn't this the guy who was just mocking China? What happened to your world's best coastal defense? Didn't you say you could wipe out the beast tide in an hour?"

Watanabe Taro looked at the comments with a grim expression. He angrily said, "Baka! Putting aside our island nation's top-notch coastal defense, let's talk about your Dragon Country. You clearly have sixth-tier powerhouses, so why don't you come to support our island nation? Where is your humanitarian spirit?"

"Since the Lord of the Azure Lotus can suppress the East Sea from afar, he can certainly save Yokohama. You cannot stand by and watch them die!"

The live stream was briefly quiet, then a comment appeared on the screen.

"Didn't you just say that island nations don't need the lotus?"

Watanabe Taro's expression froze. He opened his mouth, but before he could answer, he was stunned.

A loud bang suddenly came from downstairs.

boom!

The entire apartment building shook violently, and Watanabe Taro's face turned deathly pale.

He picked up his phone with trembling hands and slowly approached the window. Through the gap in the curtains, he could see a mutated sea lizard, seven or eight meters long, lying on the street below.

Its nostrils twitched incessantly, as if searching for the scent of living people, when suddenly a car alarm went off nearby.

The sea lizard suddenly turned its head and slammed down with its claw, causing the entire roof of the car to collapse instantly.

Watanabe Taro covered his mouth, tears streaming down his face uncontrollably. He was no longer as tough as before, and could only plead softly in front of the live broadcast camera.

"Someone please save me, I don't want to die, please..."

However, the next moment, the sea lizard seemed to have heard something, and suddenly raised its head, its gaze falling on the apartment window.

The phone in Watanabe Taro's hand suddenly fell to the ground.

The live stream then cut off.

……

Panic is spreading rapidly on the island nation's internet, and those netizens who previously firmly believed that the beast tide would soon be suppressed have completely changed their attitudes.

"Why haven't reinforcements arrived yet? Has Yokohama already fallen?"

"My parents are still there. Will Tokyo Bay become the next Yokohama?"

"The Disaster Countermeasures Bureau has been deceiving us all along!"

More and more people are beginning to question Ichiro Oda, and some are even digging up his recent press conference.

In the video, Ichiro Oda appears tough, claiming that the island nation has enough power to deal with the beast tide.

However, the reality is that many cities fell in a short period of time.

Millions of people remain trapped in dangerous areas, and a question quickly rose to the top of the island nation's online trending list.

[Ichiro Oda, when you say the situation is under control, exactly where is it under control?]

The comments below are getting increasingly heated.

"My younger brother died on the Wakayama defense line; he died without ever receiving reinforcements!"

"You only know how to shift the blame to China. Why didn't you organize an evacuation beforehand?"

"Since the beast tide came from the East China Sea, why were you completely unprepared? Someone from the Tokyo Disaster Countermeasures Bureau must be held accountable!"

Some people still direct their anger at China.

"This is all caused by the Lord of the Azure Lotus. The Dragon Kingdom must send Zhou Zhenshan to provide assistance. Since the Dragon Kingdom has the capability, it has the obligation to shoulder this responsibility!"

This time, however, many island nation citizens did not follow suit, because they had gradually realized that...

The Lord of the Azure Lotus never drove away the beast tide.

Zhou Zhenshan had just experienced a life-or-death battle and had no obligation to cross the sea to defend the island nation's city.

The ones who should really be held responsible are those high-ranking officials who knew the beast tide was approaching but refused to reveal the truth in order to save face.

……

Tokyo Disaster Countermeasures Bureau.

As Ichiro Oda watched the rising tide of public skepticism, his face darkened to the point of being almost dripping with gloom.

"Immediately close this topic and delete all false information targeting the Bureau of Spiritual Disaster Countermeasures!"

The official in charge of online public opinion hesitated and said, "Commander Oda, the number of related discussions has now exceeded ten million."

"We simply can't delete them all."

Oda Ichiro angrily retorted, "Then cut off the internet!"

An adjutant standing nearby suddenly looked up: "Many trapped people are now relying on the internet to find evacuation routes."

"Severing the network directly would cause even more serious casualties."

Oda Ichiro's expression froze. Before he could speak, the alarm sounded again in the command hall.

"Report: Yokohama's first line of defense has completely fallen!"

"Tier 5 sea beasts have entered the port area, and traces of sea beasts have been found in many parts of Yokohama city."

"The beast tide is expected to enter the outer waters of Tokyo Bay in fifteen minutes!"

Fifteen minutes.

The entire command hall fell completely silent. Ichiro Oda stood there, his fingers trembling uncontrollably.

It was only at this moment that he truly felt despair for their once-proud coastal defenses.

They are as fragile as a piece of paper in the face of a high-level beast tide.

Oda Ichiro said, "Immediately contact Fujiwara no Kamiji and Tsukirimi no Miko. No matter what, we must get them to find a way. Tokyo Bay cannot fall."

Linjiang City.

In the conference room of the Ninth Bureau branch, the staff finished reporting the latest battle situation.

Lu Cang stared at the large red area on the screen, the previous sneer gone from his face.

"Yokohama has fallen too. At this rate, Tokyo Bay can only hold out for another half hour at most."

Su Wan said with a solemn expression, "The beast tide is advancing too fast. After the Black Tide King died, they became even more frenzied than before."

Zhou Zhenshan stared at the satellite image and said in a deep voice, "It's the arm of that forbidden being sealed deep in the East China Sea."

Lu Cang asked, "Is it that forbidden being who confronts the Lord of the Azure Lotus?"

Zhou Zhenshan nodded: "It lost the Black Tide King and had a lot of power taken away by the Lord of the Azure Lotus. Now it needs more death and blood to make up for its losses."

"Island nations are densely populated and have many coastal cities, making them a ready-made pool of blood."

The hearts of everyone in the meeting room sank. The fall of the island nation was none of their concern, but the forbidden being could regain its power through this massacre.

Ultimately, it is not just island nations that are threatened.

Lu Cang looked at Zhou Zhenshan: "Director Zhou, should we provide support?"

Zhou Zhenshan said, "The East China Sea defense line has just finished a major battle, and the martial arts seed in my body has not yet been fully stabilized. I will not be able to carry out cross-sea operations again in a short period of time."

"Moreover, the coastal areas of the Dragon Kingdom also need to guard against the return of beast tides."

Su Wan asked, "So we just let them continue their slaughter?"

Zhou Zhenshan did not answer immediately. After a moment, he said, "Share the beast tide routes and the locations of high-level sea monsters with the island nation, and at the same time open up some satellite early warning information."

"As for sending Awakened Ones across the sea to provide support, that's not an option for now."

This is the maximum assistance that the Dragon Kingdom can provide at the moment.

After all, the island nation's official government had just publicly condemned China not long ago.

The Dragon Kingdom has no obligation to make its high-level awakened individuals bear the consequences of Oda Ichiro's foolishness.

Just then.

The satellite image on the screen suddenly changed.

The staff member's expression hardened, and he said, "Director Zhou, two high-level psionic reactions have appeared in the northern part of the island nation."

Zhou Zhenshan looked up.

All I could see on the map was...

The two beams of light are moving rapidly southward.

The staff member said, "It's Tsukiri Yukimi and Fujiwara no Miyaji."

"They abandoned the volcanic exclusion zone and are rushing back to Tokyo."

Lu Cang frowned and asked, "What will happen to the volcanic restricted area once they leave?"

The staff member said, "We can't worry about that now. If we don't return to Tokyo, the core area of ​​their island nation will fall first."

This is the island nation's biggest dilemma: saving the south might allow the northern restricted area to recover.

If we defend the north, Tokyo Bay may fall. Whichever side we choose, we will pay a heavy price.

……

In the center of Heilong Lake.

Chu Zhou also saw the news of the island nation's cities falling one after another, and the system notification sounded.

"Ding, the bloodthirsty power in the East China Sea is detected to be continuously increasing."

"The recovery process of the mother and fetus in the blood-sea is accelerating."

Current recovery status: Unknown.

"Please remain vigilant, host."

The seven lotus leaves on the Chu boat stopped swaying.

His initial interest in watching the spectacle faded; he didn't care how many people died in the island nation.

But the blood and fear generated after these people die will eventually become nourishment for the womb in the sea of ​​blood.

That's different.

In the underground ancient city, the strange stone said calmly, "See? I warned you long ago that these ancient taboos never care who dies."

"Whether they are from China or from the islands, in His eyes they are all just food for the flesh."

Chu Zhou asked, "At this rate, how long will it take for it to truly break free of the seal?"

Strange Stone said, "That depends on how many people die in this beast tide. If several densely populated cities on the island fall completely, the resurgence of that thing will be brought forward by at least several months."

Chu Zhou's expression instantly turned cold: "Several months?"

The strange stone said, "Even faster."

Ripples spread across the surface of Heilong Lake.

Chu Zhou originally planned to steadily accumulate evolution points.

After breaking through to the seventh rank, we will deal with the Blood Sea Mother Embryo deep in the East Sea.

But now it seems that the other party will obviously not give him much time.

The strange stone noticed Chu Zhou's change and asked, "Lotus Demon, what are you planning to do now?"

Chu Zhou said calmly, "Little Stone, you're right."

The strange stone was stunned; this was the first time Chu Zhou had so readily admitted that it was right.

Strange Stone asked in a deep voice, "Are you planning to go save the island nation?"

Chu Zhou laughed immediately, a hint of disdain in his voice, "Saving an island nation? Do you think I have that kind of free time?"

"The life or death of those Japanese chickens is none of my concern. However, the power within those sea beasts should not be given away to the Blood Sea Mother Embryo for nothing."

The strange rock shimmered with blood-red light, and it asked in confusion, "If you don't want to save those people from the island nation, then what do you want to do?"

He had figured out Chu Zhou; this guy didn't think like a normal person at all.

Chu Zhou said, "I haven't thought of anything yet. I'll talk about it when I do."

Guai Shi almost cursed. "Damn it, I was really looking forward to you doing something earth-shattering!"

So it turns out you're really that laid-back?

After a moment of silence, the strange stone spoke up: "Lotus Demon, in human terms, you're really laid-back, you've won without even trying."

Chu Zhou was somewhat surprised. "Oh, my dear concubine, I didn't expect this. What's wrong with you today? You're praising me so much. I'm getting embarrassed."

The strange stone turned to stone instantly, its surface shimmering with runes, and the golden chains wrapped around it burst into golden light.

He cursed, "Get out!"

"Little Stone, you've grown wings, haven't you? You're talking to me like that now." Chu Zhou chuckled.

The strange rock immediately sensed something was wrong. "Don't come any closer!" Sure enough, the next moment, Chu Zhou directly manipulated countless roots to entangle the strange rock.

A large amount of the source was instantly absorbed by Chu Zhou.

"Ding, congratulations host for absorbing the source of pollution, evolution points +10."

"Ding, Evolution Points +15."

"bite...."

Holy crap, Chu Zhou was also shocked. He didn't expect that this little stone's essence was quite rich.
