Gacha games can't save this bizarre world.

Zhao Hao completely razed his house to the ground; the ancestral home, which covered several square kilometers, was reduced to nothing, with not a single brick remaining.

Furthermore, Zhao Hao stated that the late payment fee is 20% of the final payment. It will be paid back tomorrow!

That very night, the man personally presented it to them, prostrating himself in apology.

They won't shed a tear until they see the coffin~

Even more surprisingly, the group of people Zhao Hao had saved from the Heian-kyo spirit disaster barrier actually came together and built a small shrine for "Happy Wind Man Sun Destiny Prince".

Moreover, in just a few days, they discovered several promising followers with considerable psychic potential. Now, they've all become players of the fantasy game!

That Naruto Shippuden even managed to find a fragment of the Great God!

Even more outrageous, he actually put that fragment with mysterious power inside the statue of the Happy Wind Man Sun Destiny as an offering! Is he that devout?

"Where can you find such a good believer? I'm so moved by him!"

Now Zhao Hao had five pieces in his hands, so he simply put them all into the statue to solidify his destiny for this day!

Now, even a single fragment of a demonic superhuman can seal off a piece of land. I have five fragments, so what's wrong with calling myself a god? Am I lying?

Zhao Hao is now almost no longer helping the Japanese government deal with the Yamata no Orochi.

After all, the current situation is nothing short of chaotic. Whether it's taking advantage of the chaos to harvest those random Fate Points running around—no, I mean slaying demons and upholding justice; or seizing the opportunity to develop the player base of the fantasy game—cough, to help the powerless civilians grow their strength to fight against injustice—it's all extremely desirable.

On the contrary, fighting to the death with Orochi would not benefit him at all.

Damn it, why am I risking my life for the Japanese?!

On the contrary, the demons in Japan are active now, and many Bronze Great Demons are taking the opportunity to cause trouble or support Orochi. Such an opportunity is very rare! Hunting down Bronze Great Demons is the best solution for me.

……

Exhausted, Tsuchimiya Yagaku leaned his sword against the headboard and lay down on the bed, too lazy to even get up and take off his tattered clothes.

She was too tired, or rather, the entire countermeasures bureau was on the verge of collapse.

The nationwide demonic unrest is now causing more than ten major and minor spiritual disasters and dozens of extraordinary events to break out every day across the country, which is equivalent to more than three months in the past.

In addition, with demons running rampant, you can almost always encounter demons eating people in alleys during the day, and there are far too few superhumans to maintain order and stability.

Even places like Kyoto are beyond their control.

Those more remote towns were basically left to fend for themselves.

We've entered an era where humans and ghosts coexist, with the human world during the day and the ghost world at night.

The first places to be hit hardest are cemeteries, funeral homes, and hospitals. Nowadays, apart from some hospitals in major cities that are under special defense, hospitals in smaller places are almost deserted.

It's haunted every day, with all sorts of monsters appearing frequently; no one can stand it.

What's even more outrageous is that those old medical devices have all "come to life".

A female nurse was terrified when she found a stethoscope listening to her chest in the middle of the night!

This stethoscope belonged to an old doctor from his younger days. He didn't need it anymore but couldn't bear to throw it away, so he kept it in a cabinet. Taking advantage of this moment, under the influence of spiritual energy and miasma, it became a tsukumogami (a spirit possession spirit). And to make matters worse, it's a lecherous spirit!

This kind of thing is commonplace; as long as there are no injuries or fatalities, it's usually handled on its own.

Encountering dangerous demons is what's truly terrifying.

The two doctors on duty at the hospital were found in the morgue the next day, their bodies almost completely gnawed off!

Many people have also called the police to report seeing the spirits of their deceased relatives in their homes, while others have claimed that their cats or dogs have become sentient and are talking.

In short, the countermeasures bureau is currently extremely busy.

Today, Tsuchimiya Yagaku handled the twelfth extraordinary event, killed six monsters, eliminated a large number of cursed spirits, and also went to the Exorcism Bureau to assist in handling a level two spiritual disaster.

I'm completely exhausted!

"I wonder when the reinforcements that the Immortal Mountain Boss mentioned will arrive. I can't hold on much longer!"

Tsuchimiya Yaraku reluctantly got up, grabbed the remote control, and turned on the TV.

The television was showing a ritual to ward off evil spirits at Lake Toya in Hokkaido.

Several superhumans, in coordination with dozens of members of a special reaction force equipped with psionic gear, carried out a psionic cleansing.

Inside the barrier, there seems to be a cursed spirit that looks like an old man.

Fortunately, the operation went smoothly. This so-called Toya Lake Sage wasn't very strong and had already been sealed away. Tsuchimiya Yagaku, along with most people watching on television, breathed a sigh of relief.

That's right, these kinds of things are now on TV.

There's nothing left to hide; demons have entered our homes. Now every household has talismans pasted on their walls, piles of salt, scattered beans, and offerings to their household gods. We've been forced into a new era.

Unexpectedly, Japan has taken the lead over America this time.

The next day, Tsuchimiya Yaraku went to meet up with his teammates, and the immortal mountain said, "Our foreign aid has arrived."

Tsuchimiya Gakura turned around and saw Ni leading a group of people, with Hayate Naruto at the head, walking over in a carefree manner.

Chapter 451 Extraordinary New Force!

"Haha, Ms. Tsuchimiya, we meet again." Nichimae grinned.

Tsuchimiya Yaraku felt a strange heat rising in his thigh, and he couldn't help but grip the hilt of his knife, wanting to stab Ni's face.

Immortal Mountain Man quickly stepped forward: "Thank you, thank you Lord Yasuo for sending everyone to help..."

The one who led the team was none other than Akiba Nizen.

After experiencing the Thousand Peaks Pilgrimage Ceremony in the Underworld and spending a "peaceful" weekend in Heian-kyo, his psionic level has rapidly increased to Black Iron 4-star!

Zhao Hao: Hmm, it seems Shuten-dōji wasn't lying to me; this spirit-energy sake is indeed quite effective. I didn't experience any side effects after drinking it before.

As for those accompanying him, they were Hayate Naruto and the others whom Zhao Hao had rescued from the spiritual disaster barrier of Honganji Temple.

At this point, Naruto was only a Black Iron 2-star, and none of the people around him were stronger than him; in fact, many of them were only Black Iron 1-star. They were clearly just there to make up the numbers.

After all, he has only been a superhuman for a short time, less than a week.

The reason they were able to reach Iron 2 stars in such a short time is because they followed the "path of faith," believing in the destiny of the happy wind man. As long as they were devout enough, they could get more and faster feedback.

The so-called "more and faster feedback" naturally refers to the quest rewards in the fantasy game.

Zhao Hao simply raised his hand slightly, gave them more easy and rewarding tasks, reduced the exploitation of spiritual energy rewards, and increased the profit-sharing ratio. Wouldn't that quickly improve their performance?

As the chief follower of the Happy Wind Man Sun Destiny, Zhao Hao spent a fortune to buy a horse bone, which can be considered as promoting the Gale Naruto Gate.

At this moment, the person brought by the second person was there to help the countermeasures bureau's action team.

Besides Tsuchimiya Gagaku's group, other groups also received assistance. Even Chosoga no Fusa and his group were sent to the Onmyōchō (the government office of Yin and Yang) to help.

That area is specifically for dealing with superhumans who take advantage of chaos to commit evil deeds, as well as the more dangerous spiritual disasters.

This time, Japan was surprisingly efficient, avoiding another year-long meeting. After all, if it had dragged on for even a few more days, Japan might have been wiped out.

The entire country is now on high alert, with martial law in place in various regions. Many supernatural organizations have been organized by the cabinet to maintain local order and security.

At this point, even traditional conservatives disregarded the need to resist the spread of fantasy games.

The belief in the "Happy Wind Man's Destiny" had spread to eight surrounding counties in just one week.

Because when you pray to His Highness the Sun at crucial moments, it really works!

After all, with the five divine fragments in Ri Tianming's possession, Zhao Hao was already able to infiltrate the land of Japan with the influence of dreams.

He can issue missions whenever believers need them, directly sending game players to handle supernatural events, kill cursed spirits, and rescue believers.

Just imagine, a monster several meters thick with a gaping maw, it breaks through the door frame and lunges in to swallow you and your family whole!

You stand in front of your family, while behind you your children cry and your wife screams. You watch as a foul-smelling mouth gets right up to your face, and you can even see the little tongue in its throat!

In this moment of utter despair, with a "Kucha," one or more "divine messengers" descend from the sky, swiftly and decisively killing the terrifying monster that was trying to devour them alive, and then telling you not to forget to leave a positive review for the quest...

That feeling of surviving a disaster!!!

That feeling of being reborn!!!

That feeling of being a second parent!!!

He believed in the gods that day, and when it really mattered, he stepped up!

For the rest of my life, I've sold my faith to His Highness the Heavenly Mandate! Please~

Then they frantically recommend their life-saving miracle to their friends and relatives.

In a short period of time, thousands of households have already set up ancestral tablets for the Sun God in their homes.

The game's curse mark also began to spread.

After all, there are promising talents among the believers, and Zhao Hao can't afford not to give them a chance, can he?

Over time, many believers became extraordinary individuals on the path of sleepwalking, and surprisingly, they also made quite a name for themselves under the organization of Hayate Narutomon.

They were numerous, and although their strength was average, they were sufficient to protect the territory and its people, and to help themselves during a crisis.

This rapidly emerging extraordinary force is developing at an astonishing pace.

In just one week, they produced forty or fifty new superhumans. It's like a sow giving birth, one after another.

At this point, Zhao Hao felt more and more that this crisis was a great danger to Japan, but for him, it was a great opportunity!

During this period, the game launched the "Eastern Japan Game Region" and opened a new version map, "Hyakki Yagyō: Chaos in Eastern Japan". As a result, the number of tasks and rewards for players increased by more than 30%.

It's important to know that Zhao Hao takes a cut; the more players, the more quests, and the more psionic energy!

I'm almost at Bronze 4-star!

"Damn it, if I don't stall for a few months, I'm not Zhao!" Zhao Hao thought to himself, seething with rage.

But there's another problem. The Mysterious Bureau has sent you to be fully responsible for handling large-scale supernatural crises in the Eastern Japan region. You can't just stand by and watch, or even hold them back.

There are techniques to procrastinating.

You're doing nothing but holding your phone and chuckling to yourself; even a fool could tell you're just slacking off.

You have to pretend to be busy, typing away on the keyboard, frowning, and switching programs or fiddling with tools every now and then. Hey, that's it!

Zhao Hao had also figured out how to dawdle during the work.

I'll work! And I'll work hard.

But I don't do anything related to dealing with Orochi. I deal with a huge number of supernatural events, quell spiritual disasters, and help civilians.

You can't say: Stop! Stop saving people! Come and discuss with us what to do with that Yamata no Orochi!
