From Earthbound Spirit to Tokyo Evil

"Welcome." Xia Chuan said.

His voice was like thunder, making people more cautious. At this time, the fox demon came up with several priestesses, smiled and invited them to get in the car, and took them to the meeting place arranged before.

Chapter 303 Pattern (2)

The location for the trilateral talks was chosen to be the tallest building nearby. Xia Chuan pretended to sit on the ground, actually sinking more than ten meters underground, while the two countries' top leaders sat at the windows of the top floor, and they were finally able to look at each other.

The red tape was basically skipped, and after a brief self-introduction and pleasantries, the two leaders quickly got straight to the point.

"The Doomsday Crisis is not over, it has just changed from one state to another. Lord Haizhai, at this time, it is urgent for the three of us to reach a consensus as soon as possible and take action immediately!"

In the latest world pattern, the United States, once the most powerful country on the blue planet, has been eliminated.

This is not only because its nuclear arsenal has been basically exhausted, all the important Watchers have been sacrificed, and at least one-third of the population and a large number of elite areas have been lost, but also because of a series of problems caused by oversaturated nuclear attacks.

"Before, out of helplessness, our country used a certain number of dirty bombs to attack Astaroth." Lucia's supreme leader said, but there was no regret on his face. "In addition, our three countries have detonated about 3,000 nuclear warheads of various yields. The only thing to be thankful for now is that the nuclear winter predicted by scientists will probably not occur, but it will still bring serious consequences."

Under the influence of multiple nuclear explosions and meteorite impacts, the shock waves have thrown a large amount of radioactive materials far away. Apart from the long-term impact on other places, at least one-third of the North American continent has become a seriously polluted area. Because of the political system and the degree of damage suffered by the United States, they are currently unable to evacuate and rescue residents in the contaminated areas, let alone reduce the spread of radioactive pollution. It is foreseeable that they will not suddenly have such capabilities in a short period of time. With the natural atmospheric activities of the earth, a large amount of pollutants will continue to pollute the North American continent and affect more distant areas.

Under this reality, it is actually difficult for the United States to participate in and lead international affairs as a world power. In fact, the current judgment of think tanks in Russia and Xia is that the middle class and upper class of the United States are likely to flee North America within a few weeks, and the reaction of the lower class will depend on the speed of news spread and the ability of the US government to confuse public opinion. But no matter how the situation develops, the United States will become a country with a population outflow, a large number of refugees will soon appear, and it is likely to cause more international disputes and turmoil.

Canada, the Cactus Country will be the first to be affected, but they themselves will also be one of the countries most seriously affected by nuclear pollution. Even with the most optimistic expectations, North America will face huge turmoil and crisis.

Another area greatly affected is the eastern Pacific Ocean. The pollution will soon sweep across Central America and many Pacific islands with the ocean currents, and eventually reach Luzon and affect Bactria and Neon.

Many American-endemic creatures and marine life may become extinct or mutate, but we are too busy to think about animals now. For the world, in addition to the capital market which will inevitably be greatly affected and may fall into a long-term downturn, the most pressing issue at present is that we have lost the world's largest food exporter. There are major concerns about the fourth largest exporter. The seventh, eighth, and ninth largest food exporters may be affected by radioactive substances, and agriculture in other regions of the world will inevitably be greatly affected. In the future, it is very likely that famine will be caused worldwide.

Bactria and Russia are food exporters themselves. Most of their agricultural areas are far enough away from the nuclear explosion site and have sufficient reserves and capabilities to deal with such a crisis. However, those countries and regions that were originally highly dependent on food imports will inevitably suffer large-scale starvation.

On the other hand, when the United States is in trouble and can no longer continue to exert influence and interfere with its sphere of influence, if there is no strong force to intervene quickly, the various political forces in these places will inevitably trigger a series of turmoil, and even large-scale conflicts and wars may break out.

If South America falls into turmoil, the second and fifth largest food exporters will be affected, and the famine will inevitably last longer, causing more deaths.

"I have no interest in places other than Neon." Xia Chuan heard the implied plea in their words and immediately made his position clear. "You can divide and deal with it in any way you want, as long as it does not involve me and does not affect Neon, I have no objection."

What a joke, Japan is annoying enough, and now he has to take over America, which is many times larger and has become a complete mess?

"So, if the United States attempts to invade another country's territory, what position will you take, Lord Haibi?"

This is not impossible. Given the nature of Americans, it may not be possible to seize a piece of land in Europe and Asia and rebuild a country, but concentrating the remaining military forces to seize a large piece of land in South America or Africa, expel or even massacre the local residents and take their homes for themselves is indeed a high-probability event.

Xia Chuan had even thought of the place where they were most likely to attack, the few temperate regions in southern Africa.

"I support whatever you do." Xia Chuan replied.

"Whether from the perspective of international order or the development of civilization, such a thing cannot be allowed to happen. What do you think?"

"That's right." Xia Chuan nodded.

"So, I think we have reached an agreement on the basics?" said Supreme Leader Lucia.

It is natural to show compassion, but in the current situation, many things are not so urgent. This disaster has caused at least 50 million deaths worldwide, and in the next few years, at least millions of people will die from the follow-up effects of the disaster.

Under this general trend, the fact that some countries and regions that originally belonged to the US sphere of influence starved hundreds of thousands or even millions of people to death and fought each other is actually not worth mentioning to the big country.

The only two important things were how to deal with the United States, the once powerful enemy, and Xia Chuan's personal wishes, and both of these have now been resolved.

Faced with such a result, the two countries' top leaders did not even make other requests, such as asking Xiachuan to deal with those ancient gods who were temporarily hidden, or to deal with radioactive materials in other parts of the world like they did with the radioactive fallout in Tokyo.

For them, those ancient gods who can be destroyed by modern weapons do not pose much of a threat. Once they solve the most important problem at the moment, they will naturally have time to deal with them.

As for radioactive pollutants, since it is a global problem, there is no need to consider it because it cannot be solved anyway.

"Nemon's food imports will not be affected in any way!" Daxia's top leader immediately promised. "As for reconstruction work, if you need it, please feel free to ask. I can't say anything else, but our country's strength is obvious to all. Nemon's other resources may be affected to a certain extent, but our two countries will definitely solve the problems that may arise in the relevant areas in the shortest possible time and restore the supply chain as soon as possible."

It was only then that Xia Chuan remembered that Japan was a country with scarce resources and could not be self-sufficient in food. No wonder the top leaders of the two countries had been talking about this before.

"Then I'll leave it to you," he said.

"For security reasons, the League of Nations and other international organizations no longer seem to be suitable to be established in the United States. Mr. Haizhi, what do you think about moving it to Neon? Of course, you don't need to worry about all the related work, as long as you think it is appropriate, there will be no problem."

This is as it should be. Since the United States has been kicked out of the chess game, the chessboard must be moved to another place. At present, the only ones who can determine the world situation are the two countries and a god who are meeting here. The most suitable new location is of course the territory of Xiachuan, who now looks more neutral and has a transcendent attitude.

"I don't mind. If you think it's suitable, you can put it in Neon." Xia Chuan also thought of this. Moreover, he guessed another reason why they did this, which was to send him a hostage to reassure him. "But forget about Tokyo, let's put it in Fukuoka."

"No problem." The supreme leader of Daxia nodded. Compared with other things decided before, this was a trivial matter. He didn't even mention other details. Since Xiachuan decided to build Fukuoka, which is still temporarily under the control of Daxia, Daxia will naturally be responsible for building all the venues and supporting facilities before handing them over.

"Let the people below handle the rest." said Supreme Leader Lucia.

There are still many details to be discussed, and a lot of cooperation can be further developed to deepen the relationship between them, but those are not things they should worry about.

"It seems inappropriate to celebrate under the current circumstances. Mr. Haiqi, when the relocation work of the International Alliance begins to show results, shall we get together again?"

"No problem." Xia Chuan readily agreed. "You guys go ahead and get busy."

Chapter 304 Competition for Jobs

Just as swiftly and silently as they came, two of the most powerful humans in the world left in a hurry. However, Long Qingting and Natasha, who were their entourage, stayed, and Erika went to the airport to see them off as Natsukawa's representative.

"You guys are here with a mission, right?" Xia Chuan called them to the window and asked curiously. "Tell me about it?"

The wolf sister immediately raised her hand and said, "Sir, I don't have any mission. I'm just a mouthpiece! They probably think that I'm more familiar with you and it would be easier to communicate with you than sending a newcomer, right?"

Xia Chuan thought about it and it was indeed true. With her intelligence and the fact that she dared to join forces with him to blackmail the psychic who was very important to the Cheka, it was really illogical to say that the Cheka had assigned her some task.

"I do have a mission." Long Qingting sighed. "There are six ancient gods hiding. Although they have not yet adapted to and integrated into this world, with their strength and wisdom, this should not be a difficult task for them. Although they should be honest for a long time with you around, the old guys are still worried that the Astaroth incident will happen again in the future. However, if they bring up this matter, Daxia probably won't be able to come up with enough bargaining chips for exchange. So... you should understand what I mean, right?"

"They want me to think about finding and destroying those guys myself, so that I don't have to pay any price?"

"That's true." Long Qingting nodded. "But they are not wrong to think so. After all, it was you who killed Astaroth. Before they get rid of you, those guys should not take any action too ostentatiously. Even if there is any conspiracy and there are casualties, it is likely to be in some remote place that we cannot reach, or come to Tokyo to deal with you. Whether in terms of threat or urgency, it is not the first priority for Daxia and Lucia."

"In the eyes of some people, I should be a much bigger threat than those six guys now, right?" Xia Chuan asked.

"Of course, there are quite a few people like this." Long Qingting said. "But they can only raise questions, but have no way to solve them. Instead, they turn questions into problems, so they become annoying guys. As far as I know, several senior officials of the Special Management Bureau have been dismissed and sent home because they said such things in public."

"It's only been a few hours?" Xia Chuan was a little unconvinced, but the Special Management Bureau was probably worried that if they didn't deal with this kind of person, it would be difficult to end the matter if he found out one day, so they took such decisive action. Of course, Long Qingting must have been completing his mission when he said these words.

"Natasha, haven't you heard similar news?" he asked with a slightly mocking tone.

"I don't know about that." Miss Werewolf shook her head. "But it would be strange if there weren't such people, right?"

"Haha." Xia Chuan couldn't help laughing. "You're right. It would be strange if no one was afraid of me and doubted me."

But he was not worried. Killing Astaroth thousands of kilometers away had given him great confidence. He also had this opportunity to see the strongest weapons of mankind. As long as they did not suddenly go crazy without any warning, he was now fully capable of keeping them out of Tokyo.

He cannot control what others think, nor does he want to care. As long as they know how to weigh the pros and cons and don't provoke him, then the world will be peaceful and everyone will live in peace.

Judging from the statements made by the top leaders of the two countries who came to him so soon, he believed that this would not happen, at least not before he revealed his intention to dominate the earth and exterminate mankind, or before mankind's weapons technology made subversive developments.

"Unless another Astaroth appears, I will not leave Tokyo." He said to Long Qingting. "However, if there is anything in the future, I can send someone to help."

"Your witches and priests are unable to undertake such an important task, right?" Long Qingting asked.

"Of course, this won't work now, but will it be the same in the future?" Xia Chuan said. "Speaking of which, since this country has become my toy, it's time to put my ideas into practice. Since you are left here, don't just sit there and help out. If you have any good ideas, be sure to tell me!"

"Put it into reality?" Long Qingting felt a little uneasy, but what Neon became had nothing to do with him after all. Even if this country became a mess like hell on earth, he would not make any criticism.

"Call those guys here!" Xia Chuan said to Kuroda Koji, but then changed his mind. "No, let them go home first and think carefully about how the country of God should be built, and then come to see me. As for the time, let's set it three days later. Tell them that the guy who can come up with the plan that best suits my wishes will become the first prime minister of God, and he will be the real prime minister, and he will be responsible for all government affairs in the future!"

"Yes!" Kuroda Koji immediately began to convey his new order and started thinking at the same time.

No one knows what fate Akasaka will face in the future. Should he take advantage of this opportunity to create a relatively bright future for himself, the people of Japan, and his colleagues in Akasaka?

After all, apart from the miko and priests around the God, the only people who know the God well are the people of Akasaka. Who else can come up with a plan that suits the God's wishes better than them?

He originally thought that Kentaro Sato would become the chief representative of God on earth. However, it seems that God does not want to do this. So, what is the mystery and opportunity here?

"You only give three days for such a big thing? Many of those people's subordinates will die from overwork, right?" Long Qingting shook his head.

"All I need is the most basic framework, or even just some highlights. Three days is enough." Xia Chuan said nonchalantly. "Do I have to read thousands of words of rules and regulations? Those who can't even think of this are not qualified to participate in this assessment. They deserve to die."

Unconsciously, as the attitudes of the people around him changed, his own mentality also quietly changed.

"You guys should go and rest too. Tokyo should be a mess right now, but we can always find a good place to live. Just let Kuroda arrange it."

The urgent matters were finally done, and it was time for him to think carefully about how to get rid of his current overly conspicuous and seriously inconvenient situation.

Chapter 305 No Disease, No Suffering

"Master Mukutani, they have all left." Erika reported to Natsukawa through the magatama. "What do you want us to do next?"

"Wait a moment." Xia Chuan said casually.

In order to receive the two countries' top leaders, Natsukawa specifically asked her to bring a few shrine maidens to help. Although Yui and Chiyu should have been known to people a long time ago, Natsukawa still didn't want them to expose themselves too much, so he didn't let them participate in the meeting.

When they came to the airport to make preparations, Yui, Chiyu, Kawaguchi Rena, Asakawa Manabu, Sato Kentaro and others returned to the headquarters of the Kasumigawa-kai and the Skeleton Shrine under the protection of Akasaka as he instructed. Natsukawa meant to let them see the extent of the damage so that Akasaka could come up with a repair or reconstruction plan as soon as possible, but Sato and Kawaguchi Rena returned to the headquarters of the Kasumigawa-kai, while Yui and Chiyu and the Nomiya sisters were stranded on the road, far away from the shrine.

The route chosen by the people sent by Kuroda Koji to protect them had deliberately avoided the areas that had been abused by the Yamata no Orochi and affected by the nuclear bomb, but from the underground shelter where they had been hiding to the Skeleton Shrine in Arakawa District, there were some areas that could not be avoided anyway. In particular, the huge damage caused by the asteroid had affected almost all of Tokyo, and there were almost no intact houses.

In fact, Xia Chuan had been distractedly checking their situation. He knew that they stopped the car shortly after they walked out and began to treat the injured along the way. He also knew that more and more injured people had gathered around them, and more injured people were being sent from all directions by people who had heard about this.

The Akasaka agents who were accompanying them to protect them could not, nor did they want to, stop them from rescuing people, so they could only ask their superiors for support. However, soon after their arrival, the Akasaka members who arrived later all forgot that their mission was to protect them and take them to the Skeleton Shrine. Instead, they all became staff members who participated in the rescue, were responsible for order, and directed people to receive the shrine's treatment in a more orderly manner, which made Natsukawa a little amused.

Let them do as they please.

Because he had always had a vague worry in his heart that they would become as distant as Erika and the others after seeing his image as the Giant of Light, Natsukawa had not actually met them directly. He only spoke a few simple words to them through the magatama that Erika had passed to them.

Before, he was even a little hesitant to observe them closely, for fear of accidentally seeing something he didn't want to see, but now that the things at hand have finally come to an end, he also knows that he no longer has any reason to escape.

They won't find out anyway.

He said this to himself in a cowardly manner, quietly shifting his attention.

Then he realized that he had overthought it.

There were too many wounded, and Yui and Chiyu were so busy that their miko costumes were so heavy that they were almost soaked. Especially Yui, her physical strength was far inferior to Chiyu's, but now she was doing the same amount of work as her. If it weren't for the fact that Kagura dance itself had the function of invigorating and healing, she might have collapsed long ago.

Nomiya Wakana was crying loudly not far away, but she kept dancing, trying to heal more people. Her sisters and other priestesses were also scattered everywhere, trying their best to help more injured people.

The shrine maidens walked forward while dancing the Kagura dance along the cleared road. In front of them were the citizens and members of the Akasaka Group who were working hard to clear the rubble, rescue the people trapped underneath, and try to clear the road to temporarily accommodate the wounded. Behind them were the wounded who had just recovered and were so surprised that they were crying with their families. There were also those who had woken up from the joy of being rescued and were running quickly forward, ready to join the ranks of rescuers.

At first, Natsukawa only cared about Yui Aoki and Chiyu Moriyama, but gradually, the indescribable atmosphere emanating from the scene began to make him pay attention to more people.

The pain of the injured, the anxiety of their relatives who guarded them, the loss of their homes and the confusion about the future, decadence, confusion, anger, unwillingness and even despair. It is not surprising to have these emotions after such a disaster. But after the witches passed by, these negative emotions miraculously disappeared, and were replaced by a wonderful atmosphere that is invisible and intangible, but real, and can cheer everyone up.

Regardless of identity, position, age, gender, and regardless of gains and losses, hard work, and possible dangers encountered during the rescue process, everyone has only one belief at this moment, which is to help more people.

Xia Chuan suddenly felt a little overwhelmed. To him at this moment, the people in front of him were like ants, worthless. Even the priestesses were actually just pawns of him, a god.

But at this moment, he suddenly felt a little ashamed.

He could have easily saved most people, but he never thought about doing so. He only thought about how to establish his ownership of the land, how to satisfy the attitude of the most powerful people in the world towards him, and how to throw more responsibilities away. How is he different from those politicians who didn't consider their responsibilities at all and only thought about how to please him and preserve their own interests?

He felt that Erika, Long Qingting and others' attitude towards him had changed, but in fact, wasn't it him who changed first and then influenced them?

Is this the change he wanted?

He is high and mighty, emotionless, regards humans as ants and toys, drifts further and further away from the people around him, and finally becomes a completely inhuman being. Is this the future he wants?

#####

After another round of "Katsura Dance", in the gap between two sections of Kagura Dance, Yui Aoki paused and looked around. She saw people's happy and joyful faces nearby, which made her breathe a sigh of relief and quietly relax her body. But she soon saw the endless ruins around her and the countless expectant eyes ahead. The heavy sense of mission made her unable to rest and immediately started the next round of "Katsura Dance".

At this moment, a voice suddenly came from the sky.

"I say, there should be no illness or suffering here!"

People looked up in surprise, only to see that the tall giant of light in the sky suddenly emitted a dazzling but not glaring light. The next moment, countless small pillars of light suddenly appeared in the sky of Tokyo, enveloping the injured and dying people. Not only that, many ruins were also covered with pillars of light. The next moment, the wooden pillars and walls that were difficult to move by manpower floated up by themselves, and then the people who were pressed underneath also floated up one by one.

In the beam of light, the wounded were healing at a speed visible to the naked eye. This abnormal phenomenon only lasted for a few tens of seconds before disappearing, leaving behind people all over Tokyo with eyes wide open and mouths open, standing there with their hearts pounding, unable to control themselves.

"Natsukawa Daimyojin!"

"The Great God of the Corpse!"

"Xiachuan Daimyojin!"

A few seconds later, all kinds of shouts suddenly resounded throughout Tokyo, and countless people knelt down madly, worshiping the light in the sky and shedding tears of gratitude.

This extremely energy-consuming word-spiritual technique had just consumed a large amount of Xia Chuan's spiritual power, almost turning him back to his normal size, but the next moment, the influx of massive willpower caused his body to expand rapidly. In just a few moments, he returned to his previous size, and then continued to expand.

This is really... This is not the result that Xia Chuan deliberately wanted, but he does not hate the power contained in this kind of wish that is appreciated by people.

"Natsukawa-kun...thank you! You've worked hard!" Among countless voices, he suddenly heard the most familiar one.

Full of joy, full of gratitude, yet not unfamiliar, just like at the beginning.

"This is all because of you, Yui." Natsukawa said. "Thank you, thank you. I'm sorry for making you work so hard."

"Natsukawa-kun?" Yui Aoki was a little confused.

"It's okay, Yui, let's keep working hard together!"
