They watched the footage on the left side of the screen, which was still being broadcast live to the world.

Those human-shaped balloons kept rising into the air, and their numbers continued to increase.

That hellish scene.

At this moment.

It was no longer a disaster happening in a distant Eastern country, but a Damocles' sword hanging over the heads of every single one of them!

worldwide.

Hundreds of millions of people are watching this live stream!

If there were just one shot, a close-up of those heads...

As long as one daring reporter tries to capture a clearer image with a telephoto lens...

as a result of……

It's unthinkable!

"No...no!!!"

General Mike sprang up from his chair, his bloodshot eyes flashing with unprecedented terror and madness!

He roared hysterically, like a wild beast driven to the brink of despair!

"Cut off!!"

"Immediately cut off all network connections to Sakura Country! All of them!!"

"Shut down satellite signals! Cut submarine fiber optic cables!"

"Use every means possible! I don't care what methods you use, I want Sakura Country to disappear completely from the global internet within three minutes!!"

"Let it become an island of information!!"

"Hurry! Go and carry it out!!"

The general's roar echoed like thunder in the deathly silent command center, making everyone's eardrums buzz!

Everyone present.

They were all terrified by his seemingly insane appearance.

But they instantly understood the general's intention!

This is the only way!

Cut off the fuel supply at the root!

Since this ghost's killing pattern is "observable," then let's make it impossible to observe!

"Yes, General!"

"Immediately implement the highest level of information isolation protocol!"

"Notify the technical department!"

"Sever all public network ports leading to Sakura Country within one minute!"

"Contact Space Command!"

"Adjust the coverage area of ​​all communication satellites to avoid Sakura Country and its surrounding waters!"

The entire highest military command center.

This cold war fortress, at this moment, finally awoke from its long silence!

Countless phones were picked up simultaneously, and countless instructions were issued at top speed!

A piercing alarm sounded.

For the first time, not because of war, but in this hall that symbolizes the highest military power of the beacon nation, it rang out mournfully!

"besides!"

General Mike, panting heavily, swept his bloodshot eyes over everyone present.

"Immediately contact the White Elephant Nation, the Monkey Nation, the John Nation, the Gaul Nation... all the countries involved in this sanctions operation! Use the highest level of red communication!"

"Tell them what's happening in Sakura Country! Tell them the demon's killing patterns!"

"Order them!"

"In the name of our beacon nation, order them! Immediately! Right now! To take the exact same measures as us!"

"Isolate everything in Sakura Country!"

"Whether it's the movement of people or the flow of information!!"

"Anyone who dares to be even a second slower is playing with the lives of their own people! They are making an enemy of the entire world!"

His voice was hoarse yet resolute, carrying an unquestionable authority and... a deep fear!

He knew that this order was crucial.

The whole world.

It will be torn apart in an instant.

Sakura Country.

This country, which was not long ago their most loyal ally, will be completely abandoned and isolated by the entire civilized world.

It has become a living hell, shrouded in death and despair!

But he had no other choice!

This is no longer a game between nations.

This is……

Human civilization's self-salvation!

……

With each instruction from the United States, an invisible net was instantly spread across the entire world.

The global landscape.

In just a few minutes, a complete transformation took place!

White Elephant Kingdom.

New Ride.

The highest command center.

Having just received notification from the United States to "cease all actions against Kyushu and prepare an apology," the high-ranking officials, still reeling from the shock and humiliation, received a second, even more urgent and chilling, red communication!

"What?! A bizarre plague transmitted through vision?!"

"You'll die if you see it?!"

"My God! Is this...is this real?!"

After listening to the message conveyed by the United States, which was in a tone that was almost a mixture of command and pleading.

The entire command center of the White Elephant Kingdom instantly erupted into chaos!

"Quickly! Sound the highest national security alert!"

"Cut off!"

"Immediately cut off all network and communication with Sakura Country!"

"Close the border!"

"All ports near the eastern sea area are under military control! No ships are permitted to leave the sea!"

The same scene.

Simultaneously unfolding in the Monkey Kingdom, the John Kingdom, the Gaul Kingdom... and in the highest command centers of dozens of countries around the world!

A vast web woven from fear.

At an unprecedented speed, the island nation of Sakura was completely isolated from the world, both physically and informationally!

And all this.

For ordinary people living in the sunlight, it seemed so sudden and inexplicable.

The beacon of light.

New York.

Times Square.

On the huge electronic screen, the host, who was broadcasting global news, suddenly had a very strange expression.

He stammered out the urgent notification he had just received through his earpiece, a notification that even he himself couldn't understand:

"Uh... Ladies and gentlemen, we have just received an urgent notification..."

"Due to... technical reasons, this station will temporarily suspend all news reports about the Sakura Country region... to repeat, all..."

Before he could finish speaking...

The screen suddenly went black.

Followed by.

They started playing lighthearted and enjoyable business-themed videos.

At the same time.

Countless citizens of the United States, who were surfing the internet and discussing the "spectacle over the East City" with great fervor, were horrified to discover this.

All live streams related to Sakura Country have been forcibly shut down!

All related posts, videos, and even search results containing keywords such as "Sakura Country" and "Tojo City" are being deleted and blocked at an incredible speed!

It was as if there was an invisible giant hand.

They are using the most brutal and unreasonable methods to forcibly erase the existence of "Sakura Country" from their world!

"What happened? Why did my live stream end?"

"FUCK! My post was deleted! Has the admin gone mad?"

"What is the government doing? Why won't they let us see? What exactly happened there?!"

"I just saw a news pop-up saying the government has announced an immediate halt to all air and sea transport links with Sakura! And a ban on any citizens traveling to Sakura! Why is that?!"

The public's reaction.

What began as doubt quickly escalated into anger and panic.

Even more outrageous things are happening one after another.

Almost simultaneously with the announcement by the United States of isolation from the United States of Japan.

John's Country, Gaul's Country, White Elephant Country, Monkey Country... one country after another issued statements with almost identical wording.

Isolation!

blockade!
