Shinji Ikari, the pilot of Unit-01 during the Spirit Awakening Era

"I must say, your old friend's abilities are truly remarkable. With an army of this size, while it might be difficult to overwhelm an S-rank, someone like me, a mediocre S-rank, could easily be wiped out if I'm not careful," Shinji Ikari said with a wry smile, glancing at Kurama.

"Yomi's abilities have always been outstanding, even to the point of frightening me." Kurama's smile was very nonchalant, which made Urameshi Yusuke feel like he had a lot to say, but he didn't know where to start. How come all your friends are so terrifying, all of them are at least S-class? Oh, Shinji Ikari has friends like me who aren't S-class, so it's okay.

"This is the power of a king of the Demon Realm. The force we see here is just the one he can conveniently send. If we can find a way to break through this barrier, then it won't just be this small army coming. The king will naturally have followers and assistants to conquer everything for him." Fei Ying said calmly. Demons' thoughts are much simpler than humans'. Huang Quan is strong enough to rule everything, so naturally he doesn't need to worry about anything.

“Luckily I have PLANB…” Shinji Ikari sighed. What Hiei said actually touched on things that were only vaguely mentioned in the manga but not directly described: the power of the three kings of the Demon World and their authority. So Shinji didn’t say much, just listened to what Hiei was saying. After Hiei finished speaking, he sighed and decided to go for the kill!

"So?" Sangyuan and Zhen silently began to gather their spiritual power, preparing to fight. After all, if they wanted to seal this passage, they would have to rush down and deal with this place.

"Of course we should call someone who can solve the problem!" Shinji Ikari said matter-of-factly. If he didn't know his own limitations, he would be courting death. "I just hope that guy is done with his work by now."

"Huh??" Kazuma Kuwabara watched as Shinji Ikari took out his phone and started making calls.

"Manager, so are you willing to help?" Shinji Ikari said with a smile, knowing that someone was clearly more familiar with these matters.

"Let me see... Hmm, today's sales are not bad. I'll come over here. Did you bring the location coordinates I gave you last time?" Maou Sadao sighed, but he was also very interested in this so-called Demon World. After all, as a Demon King, the Demon World was like home to him.

"Of course I brought it," Shinji Ikari said with a smile. As friends he could call for help in crucial moments, that was the kind of support they gave him. Even though Gojo Satoru was a bit unreliable most of the time, you could absolutely trust him when it mattered. However, Shinji didn't know much about Gojo Satoru before he transmigrated, since the anime hadn't progressed much into the manga at that time, and Shinji himself hadn't had time to read the manga.

Shinji Ikari wasn't entirely clear on what happened next, only knowing that many famous figures were being hunted down. The invincible Satoru Gojo was also tricked in Tokyo due to some accident and sealed away for various reasons. Now, in Neo-Tokyo, although Rugo had already been killed by Shinji, it was hard to say whether the plot would unfold as it was supposed to. However, at least Shinji hadn't yet encountered a situation where he was completely immobilized by Satoru Gojo's curse, so he could assume that nothing had happened yet.

While lost in thought, Shinji Ikari quickly took out a pendant that looked quite exquisite. This was one of the few spatial coordinates that Sadao Maou possessed; otherwise, it would have been a ring. Under Ryoko Sakaki's death stare, Shinji Ikari wisely chose this pendant.

Even if Sadao Maou is a man, accepting someone else's ring in front of his girlfriend, for any reason, is a deadly act. Shinji Ikari never thought of such a foolish and suicidal act, and instead simply chose the pendant.

"As expected, organized demons are completely different from lone ones!" As the magic circle began to activate, the sound and light effects attracted the attention of the demons, and Shinji Ikari unleashed a Purple Flame Bullet.

To Shinji Ikari's surprise, the row of demons below immediately unleashed their own attacks in a counterattack. Although they couldn't completely block Shinji's attack, the demons behind him took the initiative to dodge and defend, so Shinji's Purple Flame Bullet couldn't unleash its full attack power. The exploding Purple Flame Bullet only claimed the lives of a dozen or so demons.

"Besides, I'm too weak. If it were Sensui Ninja, even if the other side tried to intercept and defend, he could probably sweep them away directly." Shinji Ikari narrowed his eyes. The demons below were obviously very wary of Shinji Ikari's attack. In their view, the other side had obviously used all his strength to defend. Normally, even a powerful A-rank demon shouldn't be able to cause them much damage.

In other words, a powerhouse surpassing A-level had appeared before them, which made these demons very nervous. After all, S-level basically meant an invincible existence, and the opponent could launch the same attack as before countless times if they wanted to! In the end, they could easily kill them all here.

"Pah... If Yuzaki were here too, we could hold him back! We wouldn't need to worry about the rest!" Several demons who had recovered most of their strength glared fiercely at Shinji Ikari standing there. He exuded the strongest threat. Although the remaining few also looked very troublesome, they were not invincible.

"I don't know why, but we suddenly lost contact with Youzaki. We don't know what happened." A somewhat effeminate demon next to him squinted and said through gritted teeth. Originally, their means of communication were still able to reach Youzaki, who was considered one of the stronger ones among them, but he suddenly disappeared without a trace a while ago.

"We'll talk about Yuzaki later. Right now, we need to... uh..." It was the sound of empty lungs. Because Shinji Ikari had drawn most of their fighting force, they hadn't noticed that someone was casually standing at the back until he came out to check the situation...

"This...this is...the King of the Human Realm?!" Cold sweat, like waterfalls, streamed down their foreheads. Perhaps it was because of the word "demon" in his name that they, as demons, could clearly feel the terrifying pressure emanating from Sadao Maou.

"At the very least, you shouldn't have made me teleport directly from such a close distance." Shinji Ikari took out the pendant, placed it on the ground, and infused it with his spiritual power. Within a few minutes, Sadao Maou teleported directly to Shinji's side from the readily available teleportation array (the McDonald's sign) in the McDonald's lounge.

The moment the teleportation spell dissipated, Sadao saw purple flames dancing in the sky. Clearly, the teleportation array here was a bit too loud. After all, it was the Demon King's teleportation array, and it wouldn't be fake if there were no sound and light effects at all. In this environment lacking light, these sound and light effects immediately became extremely conspicuous, instantly attracting the attention of the demons below, who immediately began to attack in groups.

Maou Sadao merely glanced coldly at the demons below, his gaze as sharp as Conqueror's Haki sweeping across the entire area, an unbearable weight that instantly became a burden for these demons...

Chapter 345 We've Found You

"Hmm? This is really interesting. I have to say, this so-called king of the demon world does have some skill." Maou Sadao looked at the gradually stabilizing teleportation channel with interest in his eyes.

As for Sadao Maou, he had been in this world for some time now, and he had always felt that the so-called strong people here used their power in a very crude way, and lacked any sense of awe and dedication to studying power.

However, the magical passage before him, clearly exploiting a loophole, gave him a sense of awe. The opponent's actions were remarkably precise, unlike the chaotic behavior he had previously observed from others in this area. This person's operation was exquisite, preserving the skill level of their soldiers as much as possible, allowing them to immediately engage in battle after passing through the passage.

Otherwise, according to the information that Maou Sadao knew, the group of elite demons who came last time were basically turned into fish on a chopping board after arriving here, at everyone's mercy! Don't ask Maou Sadao how he knew. A certain former elite who was frightened by him, now hypnotized by her and believing herself to be her younger sister, Umaru, has become a shut-in and useless girl. After Maou Sadao suddenly came to her door again, she poured out her heart. Whatever Maou Sadao asked, Yuzaki answered.

So in a sense, the person who has the clearest understanding of the Demon World right now may not even be Peony, who exists as a bridge between the Spirit World and the Human World, or the Little Yama who currently rules the Spirit World, but rather the person in front of him, Sadao Maou. He is very familiar with ambition. Once upon a time, he also had a group of such ambitious fools under his command. After working hard for a long time, these guys realized that it was all meaningless because he was the one who ultimately made the decision on who would succeed.

However, this guy named Yomi is playing the role he once played, so... Sadao Maou is very curious about where he gets the confidence to invade the human world now... Not to mention the scene on the other continent, it's no exaggeration to say that this small island is full of powerful people. Just the two powerful women beside Shinji Ikari are not easy to mess with. He himself has already misjudged one of them!

Sadao Maou was extremely bothered that he hadn't noticed the portion of Ayase Kurosawa's soul attached to Shinji Ikari. What had he missed? Although Maou didn't have the same urgency as in the original world, this was a remnant soul of a top-tier powerhouse, and Shinji clearly didn't remember what had happened. If he absorbed it, the things he could do would be far more than just a little.

However, Sadao Maou wasn't dwelling on the past. Since Aise Kurosawa had become the fiancée of one of his friends in a sense, there was no longer any hostile relationship between them. Everything was nonexistent. It was just that when he occasionally thought about it, he felt a vague sense of regret.

Now, he plans to study the construction of the passage carefully. After all, he is a Demon King. Although they are not from the same world, he still feels that the "King" of the Demon Realm is somewhat disrespectful to him. If he has the opportunity, he will definitely go and take a look. After the last step of the renovation of his new Demon King's Castle is completed, he has to say that the new Demon King's Castle is much more comfortable to live in than the previous one.

Of course, Shinji Ikari and the others had no idea that Sadao Maou's inner thoughts were so complex. They only felt that after Sadao Maou appeared, an eerie calm appeared on the scene. The demons that were roaring and preparing to attack them suddenly stood there blankly, completely motionless.

Shinji Ikari seemed to be making the most of his time to recover his spiritual power, eating one chocolate-covered liqueur after another without any sign of stopping. For some reason, Yusuke Urameshi thought to himself: Shinji Ikari will probably need to see a dentist soon if he keeps eating like this.

"Sadao-san." Shinji Ikari glanced at Sadao Maou, who seemed to have done nothing yet had already subdued a large group of demons below. "I'll deal with these small fry, and then you can seal off the passage, okay? Thank you for your help."

"Deal with these small fry? Among these fakes below, quite a few look to be quite capable." Sadao Maou laughed. He knew that Shinji Ikari didn't want to make things too complicated for him, but to be fair, if Shinji Ikari wanted to kill all of these guys in one go, it would still take some effort.

"My friends and I aren't some pushovers to be manipulated," Shinji Ikari said with a smile. He had used up a lot of his spiritual energy, but after consuming so much alcoholic chocolate, the energy within him was surging wildly. It was time to shout that his fingers were itching for more!

Having made up his mind, Shinji Ikari planned to use the Invincible East style to deal with these guys in front of him! It was time to remind them that he truly became an S-class rank not just because of his spiritual power!

"Fine... I'm already here, so I might as well finish this once and for all." Shinji Ikari sounded quite confident. "Oh, right, why don't you go and take care of those guys who might be bothering me? That way it won't be too boring." Sadao Maou flipped his hand, and a series of magic circles rose from his palm, with dark magic power spreading across them. It wasn't very convenient for Maou to come all this way, and tomorrow was Christmas, the day McDonald's had to go all out to compete fiercely with KFC every year.

Yes, in Japan, there's a strange tradition of eating KFC on Christmas... I don't know what kind of weird rule this is for a Western holiday, and what's even funnier is that KFC's Christmas jingle seems to have remained unchanged for over a decade...

So Maou Sadao had no time to waste here. Compared to these demons, the decisive battle in Third New Tokyo on Christmas Eve was far more important to him. Although the McDonald's in Third New Tokyo was famously delicious (the McDonald's meals made by the chefs of the Totsuki Group were naturally incomparable to ordinary McDonald's), and usually beat KFC, which also had a store in Third New Tokyo, Maou Sadao would absolutely not refuse if he could beat them up again in the decisive battle on Christmas Eve.

"Understood!" Shinji Ikari took a deep breath. If the Purple Flame Bullet was a technique from the Crack Kick Fist he learned from Sensui Ninja to deal with a large number of enemies, then the Master East style also had a technique for dealing with large numbers of enemies. Moreover, Shinji Ikari had recently mastered the application of this technique... In a sense, he could proudly say to Master East, "You old codger! I didn't embarrass you!"

So the moment Shinji Ikari took a breath and jumped down, Kurama looked around strangely. They were in an underground passage. Without the exhaust fan on, there was unlikely to be any wind in the passage. Even if there was a slight airflow due to the temperature difference, it should be a very small movement, not like now, which could make his hair flutter.

"Here it comes!" Yusuke Urameshi gritted his teeth. He had seen this move before. Although it had a very strange name, this move had left a very deep impression on him. It was like a bucket of cold water being poured on his head when he first touched the threshold of A-rank.

"Super! Overlord! Cinema Bullet!" With Shinji Ikari's roar, under the control of his released ki, a chaotic tornado tore apart everything in the tunnel in an instant. Massive amounts of various debris were shredded in an instant, and even the sewage in the tunnel's drain was sucked up by the tornado and turned into sharp blades that cut through everything! After being instructed by Kyo, Shinji Ikari had a deeper understanding of the skillful use of power and how to enhance the lethality of his moves.

"This..." The raging tornado swept everything away, and blades of air, like sword light, left sword marks in the passage. At the same time, the exploding sand, stones and steel bars further enhanced the tornado's destructive power. It was as if countless blades made of various materials were rapidly spinning in the tornado, determined to swallow everything and pulverize everything.

As the terrifying tornado surged forward, all the demons could no longer maintain their bizarre order. They scrambled to follow their instincts, running backward as fast as they could, even if it meant only being a fraction faster than their companions! After all, life is only once, and every second of survival was precious!

Then, endless crimson exploded within the tornado! Contrary to what many people imagined, the crimson wasn't a bright red; after it sprayed out, it was actually a darker shade than rose petals! And at that moment! This dark tornado seemed to be swallowing everything, devouring all the demons before it.

"This guy has truly reached S-rank now; his power is indeed impressive!" Sadao Maou nodded, but his admiring gaze wasn't directed at Shinji Ikari, but rather at the few powerful demons who had actually begun to respond, and quite skillfully at that...

Suddenly, demonic power surged into the sky, causing cement pillars and rock pillars to rise from the ground, not only blocking the blood-red tornado but also providing the demons with a hiding place and a fixed position for themselves.

"Damn humans!" The demons' faces were contorted with rage! They felt that if the human before them had no other tricks up his sleeve, then he might as well die!

"Found you!" Shinji Ikari's lips curled up. He suddenly realized something: there was a gap between S-rank and A-rank, just like now!

Chapter 346 Sealed Passage

Shinji Ikari's attack was blocked by a large number of rock pillars. After the strong wind swept away several layers of continuously rising rock pillars, it was blocked by the continuously rising rock pillars. These battle-hardened A-class soldiers chose the most effective method, exhausting Shinji Ikari's power to the maximum extent, and providing Yomi's subordinates with as much protection as possible.

Even though these rock pillars, once shattered, would add to the carnage created by the Super Tyrant movie bombs, those who didn't have time to hide behind them, or didn't hide far enough behind them, would find themselves amidst the chilling tornadoes, where the stench of blood would only increase.

Seven or eight A-rank demons, panting heavily, stared ferociously at the situation not far away. They had succeeded. After the world-destroying tornado devoured the lives of nearly half of the demons, it finally dissipated, and Shinji Ikari slowly landed amidst the blood and flesh on the ground.

Unfortunately, even these demons had no room for self-satisfaction. They had successfully blocked the attack of what should have been an S-class powerhouse, and it seemed they should feel honored for it, but that was all. Shinji Ikari slaughtered them, and the attack could be launched again. How many more times could they block it?

The panting demons didn't know, and didn't care to know, that their demonic power was almost completely depleted, and whether they could withstand another terrifying tornado with overwhelming force as before. Deep down, they had a vague understanding that their end was approaching.

Moreover... their gazes passed over Shinji Ikari, who had retreated swiftly after landing on the ground. A terrifying situation that no one could ignore was that of the powerful figure on the high platform who had appeared out of nowhere and whose mere glance sent chills down their spines. It seemed that he had already completed his preparations for his attack.

"Shinji, it seems your attack's destructive power could still be refined further." Sadao Maou was somewhat dismissive of Shinji Ikari's massive visual and auditory effects. "This isn't magic. Elements have their own visual and auditory effects. Every bit of artistic effect is actually a waste of your energy."

“Indeed…” In his serene state, Shinji Ikari didn’t bother with nonsense or sophistry. He simply admitted his problem. His moves were wide and sweeping, so it was not easy to control his power. Moreover, the East Invincible Style was more of a so-called mecha martial art… It could only unleash its maximum power when used in conjunction with a specialized Gundam.

Of course, the Gundam fighters are all guys who have achieved sainthood through their physical bodies. They can easily kick a building, break gold and shatter rocks with ease, and dismantle mobile suits as if it were child's play.

Could the techniques of such people be truly refined? How could that be? Of course, after breaking through a certain threshold, martial artists' skills will also improve dramatically! At that time, the application of power becomes a matter of the mind, unlike the previous wide-ranging movements. Shinji Ikari has not yet reached this stage, so Sadao Maou's words pointed out the biggest weakness of Shinji Ikari in using the Asiatique style.

One thing to mention is that, perhaps due to a difference in perspective, Himuro Kirie's modified version of the Master Asia style doesn't have this problem. Because it progresses gradually, although breaking through bottlenecks in the mid-to-late stages is quite difficult, it doesn't easily lead to the problem of Shinji Ikari wasting a lot of power due to insufficient power control skills.

In summary, the Dongfang Bubai style is characterized by its wide-ranging, powerful attacks, rapid progression, and high damage output, but it places a heavy burden on the body. If the user isn't strong enough, it lacks endurance in prolonged battles and demands a high level of mental fortitude. The Himuro style, which originated from the Dongfang Bubai style, is more focused and consistent, offering stable damage output, less pressure, and better sustainability; however, breakthroughs are more difficult. It's fair to say that both paths have their advantages and disadvantages.

"So-called techniques and spells are all techniques that draw upon one's own power..." Sadao Maou said softly, "In essence, they are all your own power... If you are just repeating the paths of those who came before you, Shinji, wherever they went, then you will at most go the same way. This is not good news for what you want to do now." Sadao Maou shook his head with a smile. He had a judgment about Shinji Ikari's thoughts. This guy obviously wanted to change something as much as possible. For humanity, this world is indeed somewhat cruel.

Judging from Shinji Ikari's actions, he has indeed achieved something. The things he promoted have at least caused a stir among humans on this island and in the surrounding countries. Countless exorcists, with cameras and chocolate liqueurs, are slaying demons.

However, in Sadao Maou's view, Shinji Ikari clearly wanted to do more than just that; he wanted to achieve much more! Sadao Maou could also vaguely sense that the humans in this world were holding their breath. These demons and monsters were not convinced and even had a desire for revenge, but because the majority of them were weak and did not have the power, they could only swallow their anger.

Sadao Masao was very interested in this drama, and even wanted to watch it to the very end, hoping that he might find some inspiration in the process...

"So... you need to carefully understand the true nature of your own power, Shinji. Your potential is far greater than you imagine." Sadao Maou lightly flipped his palm, and a massive amount of power was instantly unleashed. These roaring energy streams shattered everything and directly crashed into the fellow beings in the Demon World. This fellow being, which connected the two worlds, instantly developed terrifying cracks due to overload.

Not far away, originally intended to attract human attention and create trouble for them, the demons performed a blood sacrifice to break the seal on the ancient great demon, the Nine-Tailed Fox! The fear and despair that this blood sacrifice instilled in humans has not gone away. If Maou Sadao hadn't come, and no one had performed the ritual to suppress the spirits, it would undoubtedly have become a breeding ground for out-of-control evil spirits. But now, this despair and fear have directly become Maou Sadao's power.

These cracks have caused the spatial passage to be filled with uncontrolled spacetime rifts. Even a powerful S-class would have to think twice before trying to pass through, lest they be torn apart by these uncontrolled cracks and the passage become completely useless.

But that wasn't all. A terrifying surge of energy rushed through the passage, roaring towards the other side. Huang Quan, who was waiting for news at the entrance of the passage, saw this and immediately took action himself. He gathered his power and clashed head-on with the power from Maou Sadao! The result of the collision of the two forces instantly detonated the entire plaza!

After the radiance faded, only the plaza behind Huang Quan remained intact. The plaza in front of him had been completely destroyed by the clash of forces, and countless demons watched this scene in horror.

However, Huang Quan glanced at his palm with suspicion, a slight smile playing on his lips. This aura... for some reason, he had a strange feeling that the other party wasn't human! In the clash of power just now, Huang Quan had actually detected a similar origin to theirs—this was very interesting. A very powerful demon in the mortal realm? And actively intercepted them? This was truly intriguing!

"Suspend the advance... Send out more outposts and find out who is stopping us?" Huang Quan coldly uttered this order that chilled his subordinates to the bone before turning and leaving.

"What terrifying power..." At the other end of the passage, Kurama watched Maou Sadao casually unleash his attack, a hint of fear in his eyes. Although it was only a fleeting flash of power, the precise execution left almost no trace of energy dissipation. The passage was left with only a shallow crack, suffering virtually no damage. All the demons, no matter where they were hiding, were annihilated in one wave.

"It's nothing. You are all talented individuals with potential. You will understand this level." Maou Sadao chuckled. The person on the other side of the passage didn't know who he was, but he knew who was on the other side. He would go there, but not now. Maou Sadao slightly turned his head to look in another direction. A red-haired man holding a long sword stood at a passage entrance in the distance, staring at him. After nodding to him, he turned and left.

Maou Sadao withdrew his gaze. Clearly, those who were shocked by his power hadn't noticed this person. It's possible that Shinji Ikari had, but it seemed that he and the other party weren't hostile to each other, so Maou Sadao didn't say anything. After all, it was very possible that this was a backup plan prepared by some people, or even Shinji Ikari himself, in case the trip failed. Such a sense of vigilance wasn't unpleasant.

"So we've solved a problem now, right?" The fierce battles before arriving here were still very exhausting, not to mention that when trying to break through here, Kuwabara Kazuma himself had suffered some injuries that had not fully healed, and his ribs were still aching.

The situation before them seemed quite clear: Shinji Ikari first unleashed a tornado, killing a large number of demons and forcing other demons to dodge. Then, he stood up straight and took the attack head-on, clearing the screen. Next, it seemed he needed to resolve the issue of the Self-Defense Forces on the ground so that Neo-Tokyo could return to peace. However, this didn't seem to concern them.

"It's almost completely resolved!" The elusive woman, Izumo no Okuni, sat on the tightrope with a smile on her face. "Although I arrived a little late, this big shot's fighting power is truly astonishing!" Thinking of Kyo's words just now, Izumo no Okuni's eyes were full of apprehension. After all, there weren't many people who could make Kyo say, "I might not be able to kill this guy with one strike."

"So, can I leave the remaining seal to you?" Shinji Ikari closed his eyes and was catching his breath. Although he could now release the Super Overlord Bullet very smoothly, the terrifying consumption of this move was putting considerable pressure on Shinji. He had already squeezed out most of his internal energy and spiritual power through the drinks and other alcoholic beverages he had consumed. He needed some time to recover.

Of course, Shinji Ikari wasn't without other options for sealing this place. Seeking help from Himuro Kirie was the most realistic choice for Shinji, and Himuro Kirie's power could seal this teleportation channel very accurately.

but!

There is now a very real problem: Himuro Kirie has reached the final stage of the seal on Mount Hikami, which is undoubtedly a critical moment. Even with the support of Kurosawa Ayase, who is in fact sealing Yozumi, we must be extremely careful and will definitely not be able to free up our hands in the short term.

In a sense, Shinji Ikari's biggest asset was essentially sealed away at this point, and the Onmyōryō (Bureau of Yin and Yang) became the best alternative to resolve the immediate situation.

"It's not a big problem. Sadao-san has almost ruined this passage, so sealing it will be quite easy for us." Izumo no Okuni seemed to have already used magic or some other tool to observe the passage, so she made her own judgment and felt that it was not a very difficult task.

"Thank you for your hard work." Shinji Ikari, who had just dispelled his Mirror of Stillness state, was in a state of complete straightness. Since Izumo no Okuni has agreed, then we won't stand on ceremony.

“By the way, this really is…” Izumo no Okuni looked at Shinji Ikari with some hesitation. So far, demons in the human world are not rare. In a sense, it’s not too strange to talk about symbiosis. But the current situation is completely different. It’s an invasion of one world by another. When Izumo no Okuni learned this information, he was completely stunned. As a veritable information broker, Izumo no Okuni felt that he could never have imagined such news.

"There's no evidence, but it's pretty much confirmed." Shinji Ikari sighed. Although he didn't really want to say it, the fact was the fact: a king in the Demon World had already taken action and was planning to invade the human world.

“Alright.” Izumo no Okuni raised an eyebrow. The Onmyōryō was now fully operational. En no Miyabi and the former demon had found some of the things left behind by En no Miyabi. Moreover, after some adjustment, the two of them were no longer in the uncontrollable state they had been before. The Onmyōryō’s trump card was slowly regaining its former fighting power.

"How's the situation up there?" Shinji Ikari shook his head. NERV's Unit-02 and TERRA's Vamilian had broken into Neo-Tokyo. This was no ordinary operation, not to mention that the two had indeed clashed with the Self-Defense Forces from the very beginning!

"It can only be said that the Exorcist Goddess lives up to her name; she's already close to her prey!"

"So it sounds like things are almost over?"

"That's true!"

Chapter 347 Ryoko Yakushiji's Plans

"It's confirmed that the enemy's command post has no intention of moving." Miyuki rode Shinji Ikari's motorcycle. Yes, this time, Natsumi finally took Shinji's ride. However, it was because Ryoko Yakushiji needed a high-performance motorcycle that was easy to operate and could avoid the main roads and weave through the alleys in the new Tokyo area. She knew that Shinji and his partners were good at this, so she directly called Shinji. Shinji didn't waste any words and asked Ryoko Yakushiji how much she needed.

Given Yakushiji Ryoko's extravagant personality, she would definitely swipe her card without even asking the price at this moment. If Lancer doesn't help Danma Ryuji get some business, he'd really be out of his mind!

Just as Lancer had guessed, Yakushiji Ryoko purchased twenty motorcycles as temporary tools for her special operations unit. However, to her surprise, that very night, a group of thugs rode the motorcycles into the city and handed them over to her.

After inspecting the motorcycles, Miyuki reported two things to Yakushiji Ryoko. The first was straightforward: there were no problems with the batch of GSX250s. The second thing, however, greatly surprised Yakushiji Ryoko!

These motorcycles have specially made weapon racks that can be directly fitted with enough weapons to arm two people!

If it weren't for the NERV logo that was sprayed off with paint, Ryoko Yakushiji would have stormed off and looted Ryuji's car dealership. What were you trying to do with this modified car? Which yakuza boss ordered it from you?!

However, after trying out the motorcycle that Danma Ryuji had carefully tuned, the police officers from the Special Affairs Division were quite fond of it. The explosive horsepower, the surprisingly smooth gliding ability, the grip control that impressed them, and the concealed weapon slots that allowed them to quickly draw their pistols to engage the enemy.

However, these motorcycles were in a completely different league compared to Shinji Ikari's Hayabusa. Miyuki even had a slight thought of just swallowing it up, or rather, confiscating it! The heavy motorcycle that Danma Ryuji, whom she had met before, had carefully trained was truly amazing to her!

"This is really a bit unexpected. We planned so many backup plans, but they just chose the stupidest one..." Yakushiji Ryoko covered her forehead. The moment TERRA and NERV intervened and launched an attack, successfully shooting down all the Self-Defense Forces' rebellious air force, she knew her chance had come!

The Self-Defense Forces Army is currently rushing to the location of Unit 2 at full speed because there are still some remaining demons underground who are trying to escape. After all, once the Assassin Star below confirmed that the passage was roughly sealed off, he began to frantically persecute the remaining demons inside the passage. With all sorts of moves being used in the fierce battle, he has caused great casualties to these demons. If they don't want to be crushed into dust so easily, they must escape from here as soon as possible.

However, most of the stronger demons had already perished in the underground passages. Therefore, the self-defense forces that had surrounded them could now comfortably play the hero, using their firearms, armored vehicles, and the machine guns of their combat robots to annihilate all the demons on the ground. This would be their actual achievement! Perhaps, it would also be their lifeline…

However, even some slightly stronger demons are not a problem. If necessary, the second unit, operating at low power, can still fight for about a minute.

Therefore, at this point, the Self-Defense Forces' combat units had indeed been largely redeployed, leaving the area around the command post with minimal defensive capabilities. It's important to understand that this originally small dock area was previously defended by up to three infantry battalions, including 27 military robots; it was far beyond the reach of the hundred or so personnel from the Special Affairs Section.

"Based on my understanding of the other side, this so-called command post cannot be their real location. Moreover, we all know that they have some special things in their possession as their so-called trump cards!" Captain Goto of Special Vehicles Section 2 said calmly, a cigarette dangling from his lips. After the Special Affairs Section was re-deployed, it did not carry out its missions in a grand manner as in the past. Instead, it quietly began to investigate and collect intelligence. After leaving the police station, hundreds of police officers immediately took off their uniforms and disappeared into the millions of people in New Tokyo like rivers flowing into the sea.

“Yes, although the other party seems stupid, we can’t really treat them as idiots! After all, they seized a very rare opportunity this time…” Yakushiji Ryoko tapped her forehead with her phone. No one expected that the current situation was not simply a matter of “Eternal Emperor imitation crime”. Of course, the initial definition of this matter was “fake terrorist attack”.

However, with the collapse of the Eternal Life Society building, a large number of politicians who were originally surrounding the Eternal Life Society quickly disappeared. In fact, many of them, in order to ensure that their past misdeeds would not be known, were already plotting how to crush the remaining forces of the Eternal Life Society and kill them all.

Naturally, at this point, it seemed that the Eternal Emperor, who had seemingly dealt with the Eternal Society, was no longer properly labeled a terrorist, so he was downgraded to the so-called "Eternal Emperor imitating crime"...

What troubled Yakushiji Ryoko was that Goto was absolutely right. In military terms, placing a command post in such an obvious location was clearly not a smart move. It was very likely an attempt to lure their forces into attacking them.

Even though the main force has been withdrawn, the number of Self-Defense Force personnel "maintaining order" in the surrounding blocks is still several times that of their Special Affairs Section officers, and the other side generally has heavy firepower! This seemingly great opportunity may turn out to be a trap.

"So what's your opinion?" Nan Yun looked at her old colleague. As a woman, she had a gut feeling that her colleague probably already had her own judgment, but was unwilling to speak because she lacked evidence. However, Nan Yun was also certain of one thing: their current temporary superior, and perhaps their future superior, Yakushiji Ryoko, was not someone who followed common sense. For her, many things didn't necessarily require so-called "evidence"!

"Due to some unexpected circumstances, we can be certain that the other party is definitely in this port area unless something unexpected happens. The problem is whether they are actually in this so-called temporary command post. And unfortunately, because there are special countermeasures here, we cannot use drones to enter for reconnaissance, so we cannot determine the other party's location before entering..." Captain Goto shrugged. Including the Special Vehicle Section 2 hidden in the large warehouse, the entire Special Affairs Section only has the strength for one strike, so this strike absolutely cannot miss.
