117: Japan is doomed! 2

RUMBLE RUMBLE RUMBLE—!!!

Within a radius of tens of thousands of meters, skyscrapers collapsed and shattered like building blocks!

Mountain ranges were severed in the middle!

The earth was ripped open with deep ravines!

It was merely one volley!

At least hundreds of thousands of Japanese didn't even have time to scream before they were... completely evaporated in this sudden attack!

Reduced to nothing!

BOOM—!!!

The entire Fusang Archipelago... was completely stunned! Petrified! Collapsed!

"No—!!! Lord! You attacked the wrong direction!!! We are your servants!!"

"Lord Yamata no Orochi! If you are hungry... the west! Divine Summer to the west has countless flesh and cities! Enough to satisfy all your desires! We are your people!"

"Lord! Wake up! You are the guardian god of our Fusang!!!"

Pleas, wails, and desperate shouts echoed throughout the ruins.

However,

the response they received was Yamata no Orochi's next, even more ferocious and cruel, round of attacks!

Minamoto no Yoshinobu reveled in the endless fear and despair radiating from below, his expression growing increasingly hideous and delighted.

"Guardian Beast?! Hahaha! These stupid, inferior beings! They actually expected me to protect them? How ridiculous... utterly ridiculous!!"

As his voice fell!

Yamata no Orochi's terrifying giant tail, thousands of meters long and covered in bone spurs and rotten scales,

suddenly lifted like the Whip of Divine Punishment,

and then... like crushing an ant, it smashed down hard onto a small town ahead where tens of thousands of people were still struggling to survive!

BOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The earth shook and the mountains trembled!

Smoke and dust shot up into the sky!

That town... along with all the life, buildings, and hope within it... was completely reduced to a flat, silent ruin under this single strike!

"Hahaha! Yes! Just like that! Wail! Fear! Despair! The more painful you are! The more delicious the negative emotions you emit!"

"The faster my power... recovers!!!"

Minamoto no Yoshinobu spread his arms and let out a maniacal laugh.

Down below,

countless twisted, pained, and resentful translucent soul phantoms floated up from the corpses of the tragically killed Japanese!

These souls did not dissipate; instead, as if drawn by an invisible force,

wailing and struggling... they turned into gray torrents, continuously surging toward Mount Fuji!

As this massive quantity of vengeful spirits poured into the base of Mount Fuji, the Ancient Seal deep within the mountain that was suppressing Cthulhu's right leg... suddenly dimmed by another fraction!

And with the slight loosening of the seal, Yamata no Orochi's massive body began to expand wildly again... at a speed visible to the naked eye!!

Five thousand meters... six thousand meters... eight thousand meters... ten thousand meters!!!

It grew larger and larger, more and more terrifying!

The shadow it cast was enough to cover an entire city!

Witnessing Yamata no Orochi's horrific attack,

the last hope of the Japanese was completely shattered!

All Fusang troops and Evolvers,

driven by extreme despair and rage,

launched a final, futile counterattack against Yamata no Orochi!

Tank shells whistled as they struck its scales, exploding into insignificant sparks!

Air-to-ground missiles launched by fighter jets were like fireworks hitting a mountain range; they couldn't even be called a scratch!

Those top Fusang Ability Users, who had reached over Tier 20 and were highly anticipated,

launched attacks with all their might,

but when they landed on Yamata no Orochi, they couldn't even leave a single white mark!

And every casual counterattack by Yamata no Orochi—whether it was the spray from a serpent head or a sweep of its giant tail—

or merely the movement of its mountain-like body—could easily evaporate organized troops,

and crush those so-called "Top Ability Users" like flies!

The efficiency of the slaughter,

increased exponentially with the insane growth of its size!

At ten thousand meters, a single attack could destroy an urban district.

At thirty thousand meters, one tail sweep could flatten a large city!

When its size broke the fifty-thousand-meter mark... the entire Fusang Archipelago had already become a true Hell on Earth!

Wails of misery filled the land, and blood flowed into rivers!

The traces of civilization were being rapidly erased!

And the entire world... hadn't even had time to make any effective response to this sudden, catastrophic disaster unfolding on the land of its "ally"!

Fusang,

this former economic powerhouse,

was heading toward complete, irreversible... destruction at an astonishing speed!

Divine Summer,

Dragon Abyss Pavilion conference room.

The sharp, piercing sound of the highest-level alarm tore through the brief calm without warning, and red warning lights flashed wildly, illuminating the entire corridor as if it were stained with blood!

"What's going on?! What happened now?! The highest alert?! Didn't the Sea God Cult just get destroyed?!"

Marshal Qin Zhenshan, who had just finished processing mountains of documents and finally managed to grab a moment of rest,

pushed open the heavy alloy door of the conference room, a trace of fatigue and confusion still on his face.

However,

when he clearly saw the scene inside the conference room, all weariness instantly vanished, and his heart sank sharply!

Inside the conference room, a pin drop could be heard.

The air seemed to have been sucked out, so heavy that it could almost drip water.

Without exception, the faces of all the senior generals and department heads present were extremely grim, as if covered in a layer of frost.

And Qin Zheng, who sat in the main seat—his teacher, once hailed as the God of War of Divine Summer, whose expression wouldn't change even if Mount Tai collapsed before him—now wore a look Qin Zhenshan had never seen before: one of extreme seriousness, even... an unshakeable heaviness!

"Te... Teacher, Marshal Lei..."

Qin Zhenshan's voice involuntarily lowered, carrying a hint of caution,

"The Sea God Cult is destroyed, the USA has submitted, and even if there's some trouble in the Arctic... with His Highness Kraken personally stationed there, it shouldn't... pose too great a threat, right? Why trigger the highest alert?"

Qin Zheng did not answer immediately. He merely glanced at him with eyes that were still profound but couldn't hide their weariness, then nodded slightly to the assistant beside him.

The assistant immediately complied,

and the holographic projection in the center of the conference room instantly lit up, beginning to play a real-time feed transmitted back by a high-altitude early warning aircraft.

The moment the image became clear, Qin Zhenshan's pupils contracted, he gasped sharply, and he froze in place as if struck by lightning!

In the image,

a terrifying behemoth, massive beyond the limits of imagination, was wreaking havoc across a familiar island nation landscape!

It possessed eight hideous serpent heads, each as large as a skyscraper, covered in dark purple, nearly black, twisted scales, burning with heart-stopping eerie green flames!

Its body stretched endlessly, like a living, terrifying mountain range,

its length... its length could no longer be measured by conventional standards, spanning nearly half of Fusang!

Wherever it passed, cities collapsed and shattered in swathes like sandcastles!

The earth was ripped open with bottomless ravines!
