The Witcher: The Journey to Transcendence from Marvel...

Chapter 480 Coercion

The entire city of Tokyo seemed to be violently disrupted by an invisible giant hand, plunging into an unprecedented abyss of chaos.

The once bustling and lively streets are now like a living hell, filled with screams, heart-wrenching cries, and an atmosphere of despair and helplessness.

Thick smoke billowed like a ferocious demon, rising from iconic buildings such as the Emperor's residence, shrines, and temples. Raging flames licked at every corner of the buildings, gradually engulfing them and illuminating the originally dark and oppressive sky.

The pungent smell of burning ash permeated every inch of the city's air, making every breath a painful and terrifying experience.

"What exactly happened?"

The people of Tokyo were filled with panic, their eyes brimming with fear and confusion. Like startled birds, they ran around asking questions, their voices trembling with helplessness. However, the surrounding crowd was equally panicked, and no one could give a definite answer.

Amidst this extreme panic, rumors proliferated and spread rapidly like a plague, becoming increasingly outrageous.

On the streets and alleys, some people, pale-faced, spoke with certainty that this was a sudden attack launched by the country opposite, their tone filled with fear and worry.

Some people speculated that it was the work of terrorism, since the chaotic and fiery scene was no different from the terrorist attacks they had seen in the news reports;

Some superstitious people suspiciously claim that these are paranormal events. The towering flames, the deafening sounds, and the eerie lights that flash from time to time all seem to confirm the intervention of some supernatural force.

Everyone is weaving their own explanations and imaginings for the cause of this disaster.

Amidst the chaos, a few daring young people, though filled with fear, were driven by curiosity. With trembling hands, they slowly raised their cameras, their fingers shaking slightly with nervousness. With great difficulty, they managed to press the shutter and capture this incredible scene—a person riding on a broom, whose movements were light yet eerie, appearing particularly mysterious in the firelight.

And the flames shooting out from what appeared to be an ordinary wooden stick (a magic wand) were intense and dazzling, instantly igniting the surrounding air.

Once the photo was taken, it seemed to sprout wings and spread at an astonishing speed.

"It's a wizard!"

Those who saw the photo were initially stunned, then screamed in shock, their faces filled with disbelief and disbelief.

"Wizards really do exist in this world."

At that time, computers and the Internet had gradually entered people's lives and become important channels for information dissemination.

Some people uploaded these photos online.

In an instant, the whole world was in an uproar. People of different skin colors and languages ​​gathered online, and discussions, exclamations, and doubts mingled together like a tidal wave, creating a huge uproar.

"Oh my god!"

American netizens across the ocean stared wide-eyed at the photos on their screens, exclaiming in astonishment, their faces filled with shock and excitement, as if they had discovered a new continent; "A wizard, a living wizard!"

A British netizen left a message on a social media platform, their tone filled with disbelief.

"I hope it's not some kind of prank."

Many people were skeptical, leaving comments questioning the authenticity of the photos. They found it hard to believe that wizards, who had only existed in legends and movies, could actually appear in the real world.

Regardless, the news spread like wildfire across the globe, startling world leaders who convened emergency closed-door meetings to discuss countermeasures.

Meanwhile, Wes broadcast everything that was happening in Tokyo live to every wizard in a near-live broadcast.

The magical world was instantly in an uproar.

Upon learning the news, the U.S. Minister of Magic was furious. His face turned red, veins bulged on his forehead, and he slammed his fist heavily on the table. With a dull thud, several cracks instantly appeared on the hard surface.

"He's putting us in a difficult position!"

The minister's voice was hoarse with anger, almost a shout, and the muscles in his face twitched with rage.

Wes's actions undoubtedly exposed the wizarding community to the Muggles' view, rendering the International Law of Secrecy, which had maintained peace between the wizarding world and the Muggle world for many years, worthless under his reckless behavior.

What is even more shocking and infuriating is that he openly attacked the most important city in the country. This act undoubtedly pushed wizards and ordinary people to the opposite side, as if drawing an insurmountable chasm between the two worlds.

"He's completely insane!!"

This was a war of life and death for two races, and its brutality far exceeded imagination.

Once war breaks out, hatred and fear will spread like wildfire until one side completely annihilates the other, at which point the war will not end.

Wes's mad actions undoubtedly ruthlessly threw the spark of war between the wizarding world and the Muggle world, instantly shrouding both worlds in the shadow of war.

"We can't wait any longer."

The higher-ups in the magical world, especially those arrogant pure-blood families, could no longer sit still.

The latest novel is first published here!

They were not fools; on the contrary, with the wisdom and keen insight passed down through their families, they saw through Wes's sinister intentions at a glance—he was clearly forcing them into a corner.

Pure-blood families hold a pivotal position in the magical world, controlling more than half of its resources, including precious magical materials and ancient magical texts.

They knew that if they remained in this world, they would face a direct conflict with the Muggle world, a conflict in which they had no chance of winning.

With their rapidly advancing technology, Muggles have acquired the power to destroy the world.

If war breaks out, the magical world will suffer heavy losses and may even face annihilation.

Now, they only have one choice—to go to Wes's world.

When the pure-blood family made this decision, the entire magical world seemed to be propelled by an invisible hand, and quickly sprang into action.

The elders of the family held an emergency meeting to discuss the specifics of the relocation.

They dispatched messengers, using magical owls to deliver messages to every member of the family, instructing them to pack their bags.

Inside the magic shop, the shopkeepers were busy packing up precious magical items.

At the magic school, the professors looked grave. They gathered the students, briefly explained the situation, and told them to go home and reunite with their families to prepare for the relocation.

The magical world was instantly thrown into a flurry of activity.
