From Earthbound Spirit to Tokyo Evil

Chapter 294 Yaki

Unlike the numerous but extremely small wishes coming from distant Neon, Xia Chuan felt the difference immediately after the wishes coming from Mizhou were generated.

Because he didn't know how long this situation would last, he immediately began to make soul jades for use as reserves and threw them to Paul for safekeeping.

The first batch of spirit gulls had already died in the aftermath of Astaroth's power, the second batch died in the impact of Xia Chuan's fight with him, and the third batch died one after another in the aftermath of the nuclear explosion, but Xia Chuan still kept looking for the fewer and fewer birds around, sending them to high altitudes as his eyes to observe the situation in the north.

Nuclear explosions continued to occur, but most of them failed to break through to the sky above Area 51. In order to ensure that they could have a certain impact on Astaroth, they were often mixed in with many other missiles and detonated when they were still a certain distance away. Dazzling light continued to bloom in the air, and a large number of mushroom clouds slowly rose into the sky and lingered for a long time, bringing a weird, terrifying but certain peculiar beauty to the spectacle.

Most of the mushroom clouds were on the west and north sides, and there was nothing in the sky to the south, completely revealing the terrifying figure of Astaroth in front of Xia Chuan.

Perhaps because the human reaction far exceeded his expectations, his expression was no longer as relaxed as before, but a large amount of fear and despair and prayers directed at him were continuously gathering from all corners of the world, growing his strength every second, and making him begin to focus his attention on the barrier in front of him that prevented him from returning to this world.

Standing in Xia Chuan and Long Qingting's position, they could only see that he stretched out a hand and was fighting fiercely with some object that seemed not to exist in the void. As time went by, his hand seemed to be slowly moving forward.

"Scout!" Long Qingting shouted anxiously.

This situation was no longer something a mere human being like him could participate in, but rather a war between gods. This feeling of powerlessness was more painful to him than death.

"My strength is not enough!" Xia Chuan was also anxious, but he knew that if he did not accumulate enough strength to act rashly, his attack would be meaningless. Instead of adding fuel to the fire again and again, it would be better to wait a little longer and accumulate more strength to deliver a sufficiently painful blow. "Instead of worrying here, why not go to the surrounding cities and help me get more wish power!"

"Okay!" Long Qingting took action immediately, and disappeared in the direction of the city with a flash of golden light.

Xia Chuan didn't know what he would do, but his power was enough to be a miracle in front of ordinary people, especially the golden light, which should have a certain effect in front of the ignorant masses.

He turned his attention back to the slowly rotating storm of resentment surrounding the gate of hell that trapped Astaroth, thinking quickly in his heart.

There is no doubt that thunder can restrain Astaroth's power, but such a way of using it is too rough and inefficient, and he is obviously no match for his opponent who is an ancient god and has successfully spread terror across the globe.

He must find a more efficient way to use it.

What kind of light should be used to dispel the endless darkness before our eyes?

Just as he was thinking hard, there was a sound of something shattering in the sky. The next moment, the space in front of Astaroth suddenly twisted violently, and his right hand suddenly broke through the barrier between illusion and reality and successfully entered the real world.

The speed of the resentment storm suddenly accelerated, and the screams of countless vengeful spirits gathered together to form a background music that was enough to make people despair, and the whole world seemed to become darker.

It was not known whether it was due to the fear brought by this scene or the result of Long Qingting's efforts, the power of wishes coming from the south suddenly increased at this moment, and Xia Chuan no longer hesitated.

If you wait any longer, there may be no chance.

"I said, let there be light!"

He put aside all distractions and uttered this initial decree.

A pillar of light descended from the sky, but it did not disperse with his body as the center to drive away the darkness as it had done in the past. Instead, it gathered into a thin beam in front of him and shot towards the hand in the distant sky that was reaching out to this world!

The storm of resentment was penetrated by this seemingly insignificant light, but Astaroth's hand was hit hard. His roar echoed in the sky. The next moment, a black light shot towards Xia Chuan, but he was prepared and blocked it with another beam of light.

Unlike the explosion caused by the previous thunderstorm, the collision of the two rays of light did not cause any disturbance. It was as if the two worlds were quietly eroding each other, but this silent confrontation was more direct and dangerous than before.

If there weren't still various explosions dispersing Astaroth's power, Xia Chuan might not be able to hold on for even a few minutes, but concentrating all his strength on one point just as he wanted, allowing his strength to play the greatest role, and even because of that unexpected blow, Astaroth's hand retreated a little.

I am not alone in this struggle.

Xia Chuan tried his best to encourage himself.

If it were just him, he might not be able to defeat Astaroth, but he was not alone.

The soldiers who risked their lives to get close to the coast and continuously fired missiles at Area 51. The people who worked hard to eliminate the influence of fear in different parts of the world. The people who tried to get more power for him. And of course, the power to isolate the ancient gods from this world.

Must succeed!

"Looking for death! Go to hell!" Astaroth roared again. His actions did not change at all, but for some reason, Xia Chuan's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

"Erika! How's things in Tokyo?" He had to spare a bit of his consciousness to ask the fox.

"Everything is fine!" The fox replied in a firm voice. "We are mobilizing more people to pray to you! Can you feel it?"

"Tell me immediately if anything happens!" Xia Chuan said.

"Don't worry about us!" replied the fox.

Being distracted in a battle like this is a very dangerous thing, so Xiachuan immediately refocused his attention on the confrontation with Astaroth.

But what he didn't know was that at the moment the call was interrupted, the fox demon gritted his teeth, held the magatama and soul jade collected from various places in his hands, and shouted to the people: "Now is the most critical moment! No one should disturb the battle of the Lord God!"

In the distance, in Tokyo's most prosperous urban area, a huge shadow was struggling in the newly formed ruins. After a moment, it crawled up, raised its huge head, and spewed poisonous smoke around.

Then, another head, a third, a fourth...

Chapter 295 Yaki (2)

"Yama no Orochi!"

On the streets of Tokyo, a huge figure like a mountain was wantonly destroying everything around it, knocking down tall buildings, flattening streets, and crushing people and vehicles into pieces who did not have time to escape.

Special effects dramas, games, and animated films have depicted such scenes countless times, but only by experiencing them in person can you know how desperate ordinary people are when facing such monsters.

Many people saw what happened in the City of Thousand Peaks on TV, but they didn't know that the Demon City had already dealt with the descending ancient god in another way. The fear of death made them involuntarily recite the name of that thing, unconsciously providing it with the power to repair its body, making it more and more excited.

"Hahaha~ Die! Die all of you!" The thunderous laughter spread in all directions from the area where it was. At this time, the shelling finally arrived.

After launching a general attack on Area 51, most of the ships of the Lucia Pacific Fleet had already urgently sailed to the west coast of the United States and joined the offensive. At this time, only a small number of old ships and small ships that were not equipped with cruise missiles were left. At this critical moment, the anger and hatred for the ancient gods who destroyed the Thousand Peaks City made them immediately launch an attack!

The complacent Yamata no Orochi was caught off guard, and its huge body was immediately torn apart by the ship's guns. The body that had not yet been fully repaired became bloody again, which made it angry, and it pointed its eight heads in different directions, looking for anyone who dared to attack it.

However, due to its lack of understanding of modern society, it just instinctively searched within a few kilometers around it, and could never imagine that these things were launched from the south of Tokyo Bay, dozens of kilometers away.

"Get out, you ant!" it roared loudly, and at the same time, it used its tail to sweep a block directly into pieces. "Get out!"

The answer was the bombardment of artillery groups scattered around Tokyo according to Akasaka's orders. With the experience of the Demon City successfully destroying the ancient god, they should have done better and destroyed it as soon as it landed. But the fighting will and training of the Japanese civil servants were far from being comparable to those of Daxia. In fact, Akasaka had to spend a lot of energy to force them into battle. If it weren't for the lack of skills to operate these weapons, it might be much easier for Akasaka to let his own people go.

In this case, even if the target is so large that it hardly needs to be aimed at, the intensity of the artillery fire is still far from enough to destroy it on the spot, and it cannot even make the Yamata no Orochi lose its mind.

After being attacked repeatedly, it finally realized that this world was very different from the world it remembered. Although it still didn't know where the attacks came from, it continued to create destruction and damage, crushing the houses in its way and moving southward towards Tokyo Bay.

"Please prepare nuclear missiles!" Kuroda Mitsuji, who was temporarily promoted to the position of commander-in-chief, immediately realized the potential opportunity here and excitedly called the Special Forces Office.

Tokyo Bay had already been hit by a nuclear bomb once, so another attack would not be a problem. If it could be hit when it was close to the coast, it might be destroyed without paying too heavy a price.

An attack there might result in the death of hundreds of thousands of people, but at least it would be better than detonating a nuclear bomb in the center of Tokyo and killing millions of people.

In fact, all the politicians in Tokyo had already fled. Although no one said it explicitly, the hints that they could learn from the Lucia people when necessary had already reached Kuroda Mitsuru through various channels.

"This is the price you have to pay, and no one will blame you for it."

Given his age and qualifications, the fact that he was asked to preside over such an important task at such a time speaks volumes. No matter how the incident was resolved in the end, no matter who would eventually rule the world, he knew very well that he would be the one who stood up and took full responsibility.

Even so, as a member of the Akasaka clan, he hopes to destroy this monster at a lower cost rather than razing Tokyo to the ground. Otherwise, how can he face his predecessors in the Akasaka clan who died heroically to protect this land?

Surprisingly, the Yamata no Orochi's movements suddenly stopped at a certain moment. It raised one of its heads as if it was talking to someone, and was even very angry for a while. But in the end, its movements stopped and it suddenly changed direction, rushing towards the mountains northwest of Tokyo!

What happened?

Such a sudden change surprised Kuroda Koji. He immediately realized what was in that direction and anxiously dialed the phone.

"Your Majesty Kamiya, the Yamata-no-Orochi is rushing towards you! Please evacuate immediately!"

"What?" The fox demon Erika was a little surprised, but then she understood.

Since the other party's goal is to interfere with and influence Xiachuan, it is only reasonable to target them directly when destroying Tokyo has no effect.

But how did the information they hid here leak out?

Dozens of names flashed through the fox's mind in an instant, including the high-ranking officials of the Neon government who knew their whereabouts, the members of Akasaka who picked them up here, the government officials in charge of managing this underground fortress, and even members of the Kasumigawa Society. Or, could it be the evil god who had been lurking in Neon before but was not eliminated by Kasumigawa?

If this problem is not solved, will they encounter other dangers after escaping from here?

If we want to escape, who should we take with us? Just Yui and Chiyu? What about the others?

What if I just hide here and don't leave?

Can the Yamata no Orochi tear through the layers of protective facilities used to defend against nuclear weapons and endanger them hiding deep underground?

"Erika? What happened?" Seeing her holding the phone in silence, people who had been following her lead for some time suddenly became nervous.

"No, we won't leave!" Everyone's doubts made the fox demon make a decision instantly. "Isn't it just right for it to be near here? Acting Deputy Kuroda, if we launch a nuclear attack on it here, with the mountains blocking it, the killing power will be quite concentrated, right?"

"but……"

"I believe in the defensive capabilities of this fortification." The fox said. "Instead of fleeing hastily to face unknown dangers, it is better to fight here! Destroy it here, Kuroda-kun, please!"

Kuroda Koji was stunned for a moment, then nodded vigorously on the other end of the phone: "I understand, then, please take care of yourself!"

Chapter 296 Yaki (3)

The way the Yamata-no-Orochi moves looks weird and funny, but because it is so huge, although the frequency of its twisting is not high, it actually moves very fast, and anything that stands in its way will be crushed into pieces without exception.

By this time, Kuroda Mitsurugi was certain that its target was the three-defense fortifications where the Kasumikawa-kai priestesses were hiding. Although he also wanted to know how the information was leaked and known to the evil god, the most important task at the moment was not this, but to try his best to evacuate the people in the path of the Yamata-no-Orochi.

The artillery fire has stopped.

Only the Lucia gunboats continued to bombard the behemoth, continuously inflicting wounds on it and provoking its anger.

Kuroda Koji didn't know whether he should try to get the Lucia people to stop, because they would not suffer the consequences of the Yamata no Orochi's revenge, but a large number of houses on both sides of the road became terrible and tragic wreckage under the Yamata no Orochi's venom attack. But in the end, for various reasons, he still didn't do that, just looked at the red beacon on the electronic map that was moving rapidly to the west of Tokyo, gritting his teeth and waiting.

In less than twenty minutes, the Yamata-no-Orochi had crossed most of Tokyo and began to enter the relatively sparsely populated hilly area, which made everyone nervous.

The nuclear bomb was ready for launch and it only took three minutes to hit the target, but at this moment, the huge body suddenly twisted in the air. The next second, it suddenly disappeared from people's sight, catching them off guard!

what happened?

"Contact the observer immediately!" After a brief moment of surprise, Kuroda Koji immediately issued the order.

Something that big couldn't just disappear like that, it must still be there, it's just...

Because that place had been designated as a nuclear explosion site, all personnel had been evacuated dozens of kilometers away. For a moment, it was impossible to determine what had happened.

The helicopter that had been tracking the Yamata no Orochi from a distance and providing them with first-hand information could only venture forward, but they could only see that the Yamata no Orochi's destructive movement trajectory suddenly disappeared at that place, and nothing could be seen around it.

"Switch to thermal imaging! What about the abnormal fluctuations?" Kuroda Koji ordered loudly.

But at this moment, the helicopter suddenly lost its balance and spun rapidly in the air, then crashed into a nearby building and exploded and caught fire.

"What happened?" People immediately asked the other helicopter, but before they could answer, it also lost control and crashed into the ground!

"It must still be nearby! Launch the nuclear bomb immediately! Quick!" Kuroda Koji grabbed the satellite phone that had been in contact with the Special Forces Office and shouted frantically.

After all, they still underestimated the power of the ancient gods, mistaking them for ignorant monsters. Only then did people realize that if they were given enough time, they might be able to accept and adapt to this world more quickly than anyone else, and that they also possessed unpredictable and strange powers.

The power of that giant bear is severe cold, what is the power of the Yamata no Orochi?

Kuroda Koji immediately called the fortifications again: "Your Majesty Kamiya, the Yamata no Orochi suddenly disappeared less than five kilometers away from you. Please be vigilant!"

"Disappeared?" The fox demon frowned tightly. This was not good news.

"The nuclear bomb has been launched and will cover the attack area in one hundred and forty seconds..." Kuroda Koji's voice was still chattering, but gunshots sounded faintly somewhere above their heads.

"It's too late... Everyone, prepare to fight!" The fox demon put down the phone and said to everyone around him. "Remember what I said before, no one is allowed to interfere with the battle of the gods at this time! All priests, step back, and do not use the word spirit technique even if you die! The chosen warriors of the gods, go to the front! The priestesses are not allowed to perform the Kagura dance, let your shikigami fight!"

Kiryu Ichiryu, who had been sitting silently in the corner, stood up, drew his sword, threw the scabbard aside, and walked proudly towards the entrance. Under his leadership, all the chosen warriors in the shelter roared in a low voice, put on masks, and drew their swords.

Kawaguchi Rena summoned the Inugami with a serious expression. It was the first time that Asakawa Manabu saw his sister's Shikigami. He wanted to say something but was pulled back by Moriyama Chiyu.

The Nekomata Moriyama Shengli has also appeared. It sniffs the air somewhat uneasily. Moriyama Chiyu touches its head, clenches her fists, and is also ready for a fight.

The two evil spirits were summoned by the Nekomata and immediately penetrated the concrete and floated upwards, ready to see what kind of enemy was approaching, but they lost contact with the Nekomata the moment they appeared.

"They are right up there..."

Kiryu Ichiryu suddenly roared, and the knife flashed. A snake-like monster nearly two meters tall fell in front of the entrance, but it did not die. Instead, it put itself together again and grinned: "Found it!"

The next moment, the fortifications suddenly shook violently, as if something was pounding the floor fiercely in the upper space, trying to break it open.

The fox demon waved his hands continuously and kept chanting. Suddenly, fog appeared and enveloped the entire space.

"Fox? If it was Kyuubi, it would be fine. Do you think you can stop me with your ability?"

#####

Many things are like a snowball. They are the most difficult at the beginning, but once they get on the right track, amazing changes will immediately occur.

This is how Astaroth spread terror and despair through television, and the same is true of Xiachuan's acquisition of power of will.

He didn't know whether it was the result of Long Qingting's efforts or the previous efforts of the governments of the Mi continent and various religious groups finally paid off, but the actual result was that the source of his willpower quickly developed from a trickle in the beginning to a spring sufficient to support him in his fight against Astaroth. Later, he could even gradually strengthen his output of light beams, continuously attacking Astaroth's claws that were reaching into this world, causing him to roar in even more exasperation.

"You will definitely regret this!" He roared loudly, but the next moment, he suddenly changed his attitude.

"Xia Chuan, what good will this do for you?" He said in a gentle and persuasive way in the direction of Xia Chuan. "After what happened, do you think they will still get along with you? When they realize the horror of the gods, will they still believe in you and tolerate your existence? Only gods can understand gods, and only gods can accept gods. This world is big enough for us to divide. Among the ancient gods who responded to my call and returned to this world, there is enough room for you, a new god. But humans? What do you think will happen to you after I am driven back to the Kingdom of God?"

"When a nuclear bomb falls on my head, have you ever thought that it will fall on your head one day? You may not care, but what about those people you care about?"
