I became the Lord of the Eternal World in Tokyo.

She slammed the bowl down: "We're still hungry!"

Upon seeing this scene, Uesugi Tetsu glanced at Shihandai, who was sitting to Tamamo's right, and found that the latter had no reaction whatsoever.

He originally thought that older figures, especially sword masters like Yagyu Akira who had taught such talents, would place great importance on etiquette.

Unexpectedly, Tamamo's actions had no impact whatsoever.

This is really...unexpectedly easygoing.

Yagyu Akira began clearing away the dishes, then whispered something in Tamamo's ear, making the girl's eyes light up.

Shi Fan Dai casually waved to them, then put his hands behind his back and said he was going to check on the barrier that hadn't been activated for a long time.

Uesugi Tetsuya, who was having his post-meal time to scroll through his phone, simply said "Oh."

Because a message came through the Special Affairs Department's app.

—Yuan Jingshui and Jiujieyuan Jin have also failed their second attempt at the 41st floor of the Warring States Projection Secret Realm and are already preparing for their last life.

Since he had nothing else to do, Uesugi Tetsuya, who had been itching to go in, also wanted to enter the secret realm to see just how powerful this so-called "unknown powerful buff" really was.

He yawned.

"I'll find a place to lie down for a while."

Tamamo, who was preparing to enjoy a delicious late-night snack, had no energy to pay attention to him and casually waved her hand: "Okay, okay, go play somewhere else."

Uesugi Tetsu didn't mind. He found a room that looked like a guest room and lay down in a corner on the floor.

—The projection realm, enter!

Water pressure is like a mirage, or perhaps it doesn't exist at all.

When Uesugi Tetsu opened his eyes again, he found himself in a familiar pure white space.

However, just like last time, there was still mist in the very center of the space.

This is a bit troublesome; I'll have to nag myself about it again later...

As Uesugi Tetsuya was thinking this, he lowered his head as if sensing something.

Then, he suddenly found that in his right palm, he was holding a super sword that looked to be over forty meters long, with a bright and dazzling silver blade, and was radiating golden flames all over its body.

This appearance is simply outrageous, wild, and cool. It looks like a +15 enhanced red equipment, incredibly powerful.

Kaga Kiyomitsu at his waist was also stunned, staring blankly at the forty-meter-long sword that exuded an aura capable of destroying everything, and fell into a long daze.

The young and ignorant Jia couldn't understand how such a perfect and powerful weapon could suddenly appear in its master's hands. In comparison, didn't it seem very useless?

You have entered the projection realm again!

You have triggered an "unknown, powerful buff"!

[You now know that the "unknown powerful buff" is actually the "hero's forty-meter-long sword"!]

【The Hero's Forty-Meter Greatsword: A colossal cleaver, forty meters long, that can only be easily lifted and wielded by a hero, capable of destroying everything in its path】

Uesugi Tetsu:?

His fingers twitched slightly, but he had already inadvertently touched the edge of the fog wall.

Rumble... Rumble?

The roaring thunder, which was about to strike, suddenly stopped.

Not far away, the four-tailed fox projection that had just raised its hand froze in place, swallowing hard before lowering its hand.

Just as Uesugi Tetsu was about to examine the outrageously powerful greatsword in his hand, he discovered that the fog wall had already dissipated.

Logically speaking, shouldn't there be lightning strikes?

He had just looked up when he saw the projection of the four-tailed fox walk up to him, look him up and down, and then click his tongue.

"Dude...when did I become this strong?"

Uesugi Tetsuya was shocked: "You didn't say that last time. So I'm a chameleon myself!"

"Holy crap, don't move!"

Upon seeing the forty-meter-long sword move, the projection exclaimed in alarm, "This is not normal! What's so strange about it? This thing is even more powerful than a demon or god!"

Uesugi Tetsuya saw that the blade of the greatsword was less than three or four meters away from the projection. If he shook his hand again, the projection would probably be reduced to ashes immediately.

Although there is no data to support this, both Uesugi Tetsuya and the projections felt the same way.

Putting down the large sword, Uesugi Tetsu briefly explained the situation to him via projection.

Projector patted his chest and sighed with lingering fear.

"It's just this little thing... You should have said so earlier. Don't just pull out your big knife all the time. The feeling of killing with your eyes wide open is terrifying."

When Uesugi Tetsu put himself in her shoes, he realized it was true.

The moment I opened my eyes, I saw a forty-meter-long sword, capable of killing anyone it wielded, lying across my face. Anyone would tremble at the sight.

Honestly, this knife is ridiculous. In this secret realm, whoever it hits dies. It's practically a guaranteed win for them...

Where did this bug-like buff come from?

Uesugi Tetsu shook his head and spoke to the projection.

"Let's not waste any more time. Let's talk about spirit control techniques or lightning magic first..."

An hour and a half later.

"So this is how the spiritual energy path should be..."

I was talking about the projection when I suddenly stopped halfway through.

He looked at Uesugi Tetsuya, and as soon as he opened his mouth, the light in his eyes suddenly disappeared.

"what's the situation?"

Just as Uesugi Tetsu was listening intently and preparing to try it out himself based on the projection, he found that the sound beside him had stopped.

He looked up and saw a pale white lightning bolt crashing down.

At his peak, Uesugi Tetsuya could easily dodge a projected lightning spell.

He casually picked up the broadsword and slung it over his shoulder, gazing thoughtfully at the projection suspended in mid-air with its empty and cold eyes.

Uesugi Tetsu narrowed his eyes.

"Has the bug where the projection gained self-awareness after seeing me been fixed?"

After casually annihilating a large group of thunder dragons with a swing of his greatsword, Uesugi Tetsuya couldn't help but gasp in astonishment.

Even though I had anticipated the strength of this blade, I still felt a bit uneasy when I actually saw that it could kill my projection with a single kick.

In the next few minutes, Uesugi Tetsuya tried many more conversations with the projection, even throwing Kaga Kiyomitsu in front of him.

But it's still useless.

It's as if a switch has been flipped, causing them to lose their senses and ability to think.

"Pity……"

Uesugi Tetsu shook his head helplessly, gently swung his greatsword, and turned the last lightning bolt, as thick as a little finger, and the four-tailed fox projection into nothingness.

The space instantly became empty, as clean as if it had been wiped clean with an eraser.

A notification popped up indicating that the player had cleared the 40th floor of the secret realm.

[You have cleared the 40th floor of the Projection Realm. Do you wish to accumulate rewards until you clear the realm, or claim your rewards immediately?]

The hints for the 40th floor are slightly different.

But Uesugi Tetsuya doesn't need to hesitate.

[You have made your choice; accumulate rewards until you clear the dungeon.]

The reason is far too simple.

Uesugi Tetsu glanced down at the forty-meter-long sword in his hand, and after a fleeting moment, he saw a new wall of mist before his eyes.

"Who will be on the forty-first floor...?"

He wielded his broadsword and sword, piercing through the wall of mist.

The next moment, a general with an iron mask and an exquisitely crafted uniform appeared before Uesugi Tetsuya.

Behind him stood a black flag bearing the pattern of five papayas.

Uesugi Tetsuya, who was already well-versed in the history of the Warring States period, blinked.

"The Oda family?"

Who is standing in front of me?

Shibata Katsuie? Niwa Nagahide? Or perhaps the monkey who went solo before the Honnoji Incident?

It couldn't possibly be that Sixth Heaven Demon King...

"I am Oda Nobunaga, the ruler of the land!"

The general with the iron mask spoke thus.

As his cold voice fell, Uesugi Tetsu could feel the dimensions of the pure white space suddenly change.

It seems that it has changed from 100×100×100 to three 1000-meter sections.

Immediately after that, tens of thousands of troops appeared behind Oda Nobunaga.

Well-equipped and imposing arquebusiers, hatamoto soldiers, archers, cavalry, and countless foot soldiers... even behind Oda Nobunaga, several generals of the Oda clan appeared as projections from nothingness.

In the chilling silence of armor clashing against metal, Oda Nobunaga, at the head of the procession, mounted his horse and raised his katana high.

"kill!"

The ten thousand soldiers behind him opened their mouths in perfect unison, their imposing presence overwhelming.

"kill!"

Uesugi Tetsuya's scalp tingled slightly.

These armies are different from the armies before the revival of heaven and earth—the vast majority of them have come into contact with breathing techniques or Yin-Yang arts that absorb spiritual energy to some extent.

Oda was quite open-minded in this regard, just like with arquebuses.

In addition, Oda Nobunaga and his generals were all at least three-star level, no weaker than the projections of the thirty-seventh and thirty-eighth floors.

In other words, these forty-one levels require challengers to face a dozen or so projections from the thirty-seventh or thirty-eighth level alone, plus perhaps nearly ten thousand projections from the twenty-third or thirtieth level with similar strength.

Furthermore, they are well-trained and can be organized into a unified military formation.

"No wonder Shizumi and the others couldn't win..."

Uesugi Tetsu looked up and saw that the army formation stretched as far as the eye could see: "How can one fight against ten thousand superhumans?"

"But for me, it doesn't make much of a difference."

He weighed the forty-meter-long broadsword in his hand, which felt as light as a piece of paper: "It's just a matter of swinging it a few more times."

After a few seconds of silence, the overwhelming force of ten thousand men, with an aura that seemed to rival that of ghosts and gods, pressed down like a black curtain from the sky.

Uesugi Tetsu yawned, half-opened his eyes, and charged forward with his sword.

……

Meanwhile, outside, Tamamo, who was slurping noodles and scrolling through her phone, saw a notification pop up on her screen.

"What? Didn't we turn off notifications?"

Muttering to herself, Tamamo clicked on the prompt rather unhappily, and was directly taken to the cyber-version of the top 100 list page in the Special Affairs Bureau APP.

"What happened...?"

As she was speaking, her pupils suddenly contracted.

Because, the original number one on the top 100 list, Jiu Jieyuan Jin, has been squeezed down to second place!

Tch, so the Yuan family got first place again, huh...

Tamamo looked up.

However, the name that topped the list was completely unexpected!
