I, Uchiha Hikaru, have joined the chat group.

Chapter 382 One Punch!

Ding!

A series of text message notifications rang in the pockets of many people in different areas.

Someone took out their phone, glanced down at it, and saw a mass text message on the screen:

"This is the headquarters of the Snake Clan. The young master has ordered everyone to immediately drop everything and evacuate the surrounding population. Stay away from the Tama City area immediately! I reiterate, this is not a drill!"

As the shadow emperor of the entire Japanese underworld, the Snake-Headed Eight Family is the common leader of all Japanese yakuza organizations. Now, this leader has issued an emergency order. Everyone who received the text message, even if they didn't understand the cause of the matter, realized the seriousness of the situation. A small portion of them stood still, while the majority began to carry out the order.

at the same time.

Genjiro then made another call to Uesugi Kotsugi: "Father, something's happened! The White King has resurrected and is currently fighting with Miss White King... also known as Uchiha Hikaru. The battle is taking place at the Akaki River, about 50 kilometers from downtown Tokyo!"

"?"

Uesugi Koshi was stunned for a few seconds before he reacted and then asked about Origin Chisei's current situation.

"...Eri and I are here, and nothing's wrong for now. But the Beni area has completely collapsed, and we don't know how this battle will end."

Genji spoke quickly: "I suggest immediately lifting the restrictions on 'Princess Kaguya' and hacking into the Self-Defense Forces' weapon systems at 100% power. If the worst-case scenario comes to pass, we may need to make every possible effort to kill the newly born White King and prevent it from causing annihilation to Japan."

"..."

"Kaguya-hime" is a supercomputer secretly developed by the Snake Clan, possessing computing power similar to "Norma" but relatively independent.

Using conventional methods to mobilize the Self-Defense Forces, even with the power of the Snake Clan, would be extremely difficult. However, using Princess Kaguya might only take ten minutes or even less.

Uesugi hesitated for a few seconds, then nodded: "Alright, let's make some preparations first. The specifics will depend on the situation over there... You guys act according to the circumstances over there, I'll take men and head over immediately!"

Similar calls also occurred in several other places—

Japanese officials had just learned of the "earthquake" from the public;

An executive officer who had been held back for eight years was dispatched here due to the cooperation between Kassel and the Snake Clan.

There's also the Gattuso family, the dragon-slaying clan, and the spies left behind by a certain potato chip girl in Japan...

Beneath a surface that is far from peaceful.

Another storm, woven from the various forces across the Dragon Realm, is gradually taking shape...

……

At this moment.

Uchiha Hikaru and Haku were standing in the air, hundreds of meters above the Red Well, separated by a distance.

This battle has only been going on for less than fifteen minutes. For both sides, it can only be considered a preliminary warm-up.

However, for the surrounding land, this is already an unbearable burden.

The Red Well has disappeared.

Not only that, but most of the ground within a radius of several miles has collapsed and sunken, turning what was originally a mix of hills and forests into a low-lying, sunken "basin".

Cracks radiated outwards for dozens of miles, the deepest and widest of which resembled a gaping abyss, swallowing any passing humans and vehicles. Large amounts of boulders and trees were swept into the air by the shockwaves, only to be instantly crushed into dust by the terrifying pressure emanating from the two figures locked in their confrontation.

The Akaki River and the Tama River have also basically dried up.

The river water was scorched dry by the high temperatures generated during the battle, and then turned into a misty fog that permeated the air within a radius of a thousand meters, like a layer of misty white fog.

In the light mist.

Uchiha Hikaru crossed his arms over his chest, his expression calm.

Behind it stands the "Kusanagi" (Lake of Clouds) suspended in mid-air.

She did not use "Ama-no-Murakumo" in the battle, but instead wrapped and controlled it with "ki", making it float behind her, and then fought the White King in close combat with only her hands.

One reason for doing this is to elevate one's social standing.

After all, the sight of a sword hanging on one's back looks cooler, just like the Truth-Seeking Ball in Six Paths Mode.

Secondly, it's because it's unnecessary.

While the "Ama-no-Murakumo" is undoubtedly a divine weapon of the Dragon Clan world, even Lu Mingze couldn't withstand its sharpness. However, Uchiha Hikaru's hands and elbows, enveloped in condensed "ki," were not much less sturdy. In the fierce battle just now, apart from a few minor cuts on her clothing, she was basically unharmed.

Therefore, there is no need to use weapons anymore, as it would be an unfair victory.

"You haven't used your full strength yet, have you?"

Uchiha Hikaru smiled slightly: "In front of me, you don't need to think about holding back your strength. Use all your methods, and I will grant you a dignified ending befitting your status based on your performance."

"..."

The White King did not respond immediately, but slowly stretched out its body, its scales opening and closing as if breathing. With this movement, bone spikes emerged from its body, like thousands of sharp swords slicing through the surrounding air, creating vortexes that appeared and disappeared as if tearing through space.

"You...are indeed very strong."

The White King opened its mouth and emitted a hoarse, indistinct voice—unlike the White King in the original work, which evolved from Herzog by stealing its fetal blood, the current White King's consciousness was still the remnant of the original White King. The original White King was more female, hence the voice it emitted was also somewhat androgynous.

"Since... the fall of that one, this is the first time I've encountered an enemy as formidable as you..."

"Really? Thank you for the compliment."

Uchiha Hikaru nodded slightly.

"So...give it your all."

The White King let out a hoarse laugh and continued, "You may not understand the rules of us dragons... Battles between kings are always fights to the death. Only one of us can leave here alive."

Lu Mingze said something similar in the original story, when he was speaking to Herzog.

Therefore, the name Uchiha Hikaru is not unfamiliar to him.

only……

"Are you sure you want to witness my full power?"

Uchiha Hikaru tilted his head and glanced at his feet out of the corner of his eye.

She didn't actually mind showing off the results of her special training on Namek to the White King. However... she was a little worried that the land beneath her feet might not be able to withstand it.

If too much force is used and Japan in this world is actually sunk, then neighboring China will probably not fare well either.

"Let's find a slightly more open place."

Faced with Uchiha Hikaru's suggestion.

The White King opposite him, however, showed no intention of obeying. Instead, he glanced down indifferently and said, "Are you worried about the lives of those humans down there? As a powerful being on par with my race, you should be standing high in the heavens, yet you are worrying about a bunch of ants. This is not the behavior of a powerful being."

"If that's the case..."

"Then let's wipe them all out!"

Before he could finish speaking...

The White King suddenly flapped its wings and let out a long neigh: "Word of Power - Azure Thunder Domination!!"

This moment.

The clouds in the sky churned violently. Drawn by the power of the White King, they formed a massive vortex. As the clouds collided, bolts of lightning of varying sizes intertwined and swirled, pouring down to the ground like fine raindrops, instantly creating a curtain of "rain" that enveloped an area spanning dozens of miles!

then……

"Word of Power: Black Flame Prison!!"

Another high-level Word of Power.

The pitch-black flames roared in mid-air, then transformed into dazzling fireballs, mingling with thunder as they crashed down upon the earth.

The already devastated Tama region suffered another devastating blow. Numerous bolts of lightning and fireballs struck nearby cities, turning once brightly lit areas into charred ruins in the blink of an eye. Buildings collapsed in swathes, plunging into the abyss-like fissures.

Uchiha Hikaru frowned slightly and mentally tagged Erii.

[Little Monster: Light, I'm here.]

[Anonymous: ...Tell your brother to be careful, and try to run west.]

It was just a fleeting thought in my mind.

In reality, Uchiha Hikaru sighed softly: "There's a mistake in what you just said, and I'd like to correct it first."

"Um?"

The White King was taken aback: "What, you don't actually care about the lives of those ants?"

"Well, it's not that I don't care at all. But what I need to correct isn't that, but rather..." Uchiha Hikaru paused, then exhaled and began, "How did you come to the conclusion that you could be on par with me?!"

With that last sentence.

A tiny flame ignited in Uchiha Hikaru's chest.

Then, in a very short time, it spread like wildfire, burning fiercely!

[Fire and Thunder God - Flame Mode]!

To be precise, it's a "Super Flame Mode" enhanced by "Chakra"!

At that moment, an invisible wind blew Uchiha Hikari's hair high into the air, and then her entire body was enveloped in this dense layer of "qi," becoming somewhat ethereal and transparent. A crimson storm suddenly arose, sweeping out in all directions, and instantly annihilated the lightning and flames created by the White King upon contact.

Rumble...

The ground shook violently.

At this moment, tens of millions of people in the entire Kanto region felt a sinking feeling in their hearts, and an inexplicable sense of oppression surged into their minds!

White King also opened his eyes wide in astonishment, staring blankly at Uchiha Hikaru. Just as he was about to say something, he saw a beam of light come to him!

boom--!!!

One punch!

It was just a simple, clean punch, but to the White King, it was like a fiery meteor hurtling towards him! Carrying the intense heat of the blazing sun, it ignited the surrounding air, turning it into a crimson ocean!
