I, Uchiha Hikaru, have joined the chat group.

Chapter 385 Flying Crimson Flame Cult

This is the end.

The two said goodbye at sea and then went their separate ways.

Uchiha Hikaru returned to downtown Tokyo and communicated remotely with Erii via a chat group. After confirming her location, he teleported to her and Genji's side, bringing her back to Genji Heavy Industries. Then, they leisurely washed up, took a bath together, and went to bed to rest.

Uchiha Hikaru slept soundly and peacefully.

But for the people of the Dragon World...

Tonight, however, is destined to be a historic sleepless night.

I won't go into the details of the tsunami that swept through Tokyo Bay.

Compared to the crisis in the original work that nearly submerged the entire country of Japan, this tsunami was actually much smaller in scale. The preceding earthquake also did not last very long. Although it did destroy a large number of houses and buildings in the Tama River area and coastal cities, the casualties were relatively limited.

What truly keeps everyone tossing and turning at night...

It was that supernatural phenomenon witnessed by countless people.

—Or, it would be more appropriate to describe it as a "miracle".

A fiery giant, taller than Mount Fuji, appeared out of nowhere, carrying mountains and crossing seas, covering thousands of miles in an instant, piercing through Tokyo with a single spear thrust, and slicing down tens of thousands of meters with a single slash...

These kinds of scenes usually only appear in ancient myths and legends of various countries. If it were a race that wasn't good at exaggerating, they probably couldn't have created such an exaggerated effect.

But now.

It actually happened in real life and was witnessed by tens of millions of people:

Among these people were Japanese office workers and officials from all walks of life; American soldiers stationed at various bases; Chinese people who had settled, studied, or traveled in the Kanto region; tourists who flew over Japan that night; and people from ferries and fleets of all sizes.

A massive amount of high-definition photos and videos, accompanied by related text descriptions, are circulating wildly online.

The consequences of this...

The entire internet in the Dragon Raja world exploded.

The literal sense.

"#GiantofLight", "#HeavenAndEarth", "#AncientGodsResurrected", "#GreatKantoEarthquake", "#JapaneseTsunami"...

Keywords like these were searched hundreds of millions of times by netizens from all over the world in just 24 hours.

Various dubious myths, especially those from East Asian countries, have been unearthed, translated into various languages, and analyzed frame by frame and sentence by sentence in conjunction with online video files, making all sorts of serious guesses about the identity of the "Red Giant."

The surge in traffic even burned out more than a dozen servers.

Many religious figures flew to Japan immediately after hearing the news, hoping to find traces left by the "gods" and apply them to their own religions.

In addition, some people took this opportunity to establish the "Flying Crimson Flame Cult"... well, "Crimson Flame God" is what they call the red giant who is the incarnation of Uchiha Hikaru.

This emerging sect, which seems to be a sister sect to the "Flying Spaghetti Monster," attracted about 500,000 followers within just a few days of its establishment. Many of them were originally followers of other religions, but they did not hesitate to betray their original sects and join the "Red Flame God."

That's normal.

Although all major religions have some so-called "miracles", they are either stories written in the scriptures or tricks that are similar to magic tricks.

but……

That red giant, taller than Mount Fuji and wielding a ten-thousand-meter-long sword, was real, making it hard not to have other thoughts.

Unfortunately, there is no such thing as "incense and deity" in this world, so Uchiha Hikaru did not draw power from his followers.

Of course, a small group of rational people began to explain the event using various scientific concepts, such as "mass hallucinations," "light shows," and the "Hydra effect"... oh wait, I mean the "Manchester United effect." There were even claims that the red giant was from an extraterrestrial "higher-dimensional being"...

In a sense, this last guess is actually the closest to the truth.

……

Compared to the vast majority of uninformed people, the hybrids have more information.

So they quickly linked this to traces of dragon activity, guessing that the "Black King" had resurrected.

—Although the red giant that day seemed to have nothing to do with "dragons" at all, but... the history of this world was originally created by dragons, and countless ancient books and relics prove this point. How could a being that has nothing to do with dragons suddenly appear, yet possesses power comparable to the Black King?

It can't really be like what ordinary people on the internet are saying, that it's the resurrection of ancient gods or Great Old Ones, or an invasion by alien creatures, right?

to this end.

The Secret Service and the Kassel side urgently contacted the Japanese branch to inquire about the inside story from the Snake-Headed Eight Families. Angers, the Gattuso family, and Henkel and others also rushed over in person, all wanting to obtain first-hand information before the other side.

While Uesugi was being bombarded with questions.

Uchiha Hikaru finally returned to the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Japan and retrieved the White King's Dragon Bone Cross.

She originally intended to use this to catch Odin, that big fish.

However, whether it was because her displayed strength that day was a bit too overwhelming, or for some other reason, Odin left no trace in that sea area. On the contrary, the US and Self-Defense Force fleets, as well as some "civilian salvage teams" composed of hybrids, searched that area, but found no trace of the White King's remains.

That being the case.

Uchiha Hikaru no longer cared about Odin's thoughts, went into the sea himself, retrieved the White King, and then began to study how to boil it into soup.

Originally, she planned to call Xia Mi to ask how to eat "Dragon Bone Cross".

However, Lu Mingze made another appearance and provided relevant technical support.

"By the way, are you really planning to hand over the White King's power to that little girl beside you?"

Lu Mingze glanced at Erii not far away, his expression somewhat subtle: "Excuse me for speaking frankly, but her mind is much smaller than that of her peers, and she is not quite capable of controlling this power originating from the White King... If you just want to solve her bloodline problem, I have other ways to help you, and you don't necessarily have to take the White King's Dragon Bone Cross."

"It's okay, I already have a plan."

Uchiha Hikaru paused for a moment: "Eri is just inexperienced, but she's not stupid. With proper guidance, she'll know how to protect herself. To be honest, I think your older brother is harder to help."

after all……

At this point in time, Lu Mingfei is most likely in, and will likely remain in, the stage of being a subservient follower for a long time.

With the storylines of Xia Mi and Erii both altered, whether he'll even have a chance to use up all four of his lives is uncertain...
