256: Chapter 256 Thunder spreads, Amaterasu mutes fire

In the Qinling Command Center, the atmosphere in the meeting room grew increasingly oppressive.

On the large screen, the mess in Japan's Red Capital was clearly visible.

That hundred-meter demon god stood towering, and amidst the black smoke and dust, the figure of the Heguo Heavenly God was shrouded in golden light.

No one had expected such a variable to suddenly appear.

But since Huaxia's immortal realm truly existed, it seemed normal for other countries to have heavenly gods as well.

"Japan's heavenly god." Director Li Guoan's low voice broke the silence, a hint of resentment in his tone.

"Hmph, these guys, they'll really worship any kind of filthy thing."

Sun Feng pushed up his glasses, his fingertips dancing rapidly across the virtual keyboard as a massive stream of data scrolled across the screen.

"Based on existing data models, it's impossible to directly measure the power intensity of a real-world deity."

He looked up at Director Li Guoan, a flash of worry in his eyes.

"However, if we look at the data analysis from the previous immortals throne..."

He didn't continue, but the meaning was self-evident.

"No chance of winning?" Zhang Yunhai asked in a deep voice, his brow furrowed.

Sun Feng shook his head: "Theoretically, yes."

"After all, Chen You is only at Qi Refining Seventh Layer right now. Even with the Monarch Incarnation's enhancement, it's just a mortal forcibly wielding divine authority; he hasn't truly reached the god level."

The meeting room fell silent; everyone was quiet.

After a while, Director Li Guoan looked at Sun Feng again.

"Contact the military, assemble the fleet, and prepare to execute the National Defense Special-1 Plan."

Sun Feng was stunned upon hearing this.

Zhang Yunhai also widened his eyes suddenly, "Director Li... you want to..."

"Regardless of whether Little Chen can hold out..."

Determination returned to Director Li Guoan's eyes, "Even if it's a god, they shouldn't think they can take away our hero!"

...

The pitch-black demon god stood upon the scorched earth, his left palm slightly clenched.

Invisible white threads, like a surging river, were continuously gathering from deep within the land of Japan, merging into his palm.

However, at this moment, Chen You didn't feel the slightest bit of relaxation.

"Damn it!"

A hint of solemnity flashed in his purple-gold eyes.

He knew that although the "Monarch Incarnation" was powerful, it was essentially a form granted by a "mythic skill," not his actual physical body.

He himself was, in the end, just a mortal at Qi Refining Seventh Layer.

Without the rule enhancement of the Source Realm, Qi Refining Seventh Layer... against a god?

But at the thought of the land beneath his feet that carried countless humiliations and blood-tears, and the expectant eyes in the command center.

That fear was instantly suppressed by a surge of intense fury.

"Scared of what!" Chen You cursed inwardly, his right hand gripping the giant sword even tighter.

The Heguo Heavenly God floated amidst the thunderclouds, his golden light growing brighter.

Hearing Chen You's declaration, the arrogance in his eyes was completely replaced by rage.

"Ignorant mortal, you do not know the divine might!"

Before his voice had even faded, the folding fan in the Heguo Heavenly God's hand suddenly pointed at Chen You.

"Amaterasu, Divine Fire!"

In an instant, the golden light on his body seemed to be compressed to the extreme.

Then it transformed into an incredibly hot golden pillar of fire, tearing through the dark clouds and shooting out with a momentum that could incinerate everything!

That pillar of fire was no mortal flame; wherever it passed, space began to warp, and the air was instantly sucked dry, letting out explosive booms.

This was the power of a deity, an absolute crushing force beyond worldly understanding!

"Let's see what you're made of!" Chen You's golden eyes narrowed.

He didn't have time to think; the hundred-meter-tall Monarch Incarnation suddenly raised the pitch-black giant sword.

The power of thunder and shadow instantly condensed on the blade, forming a purple-black sword qi barrier in an attempt to block that golden divine fire.

The Divine Firmament Heavenly Thunder Orthodox Method!

Thunderclouds surged, and purple-gold lightning struck the golden light pillar.

Boom—!

The golden fire pillar didn't stop for a moment, passing through the lightning and colliding with the purple-black sword qi barrier.

The divine fire spread like lava, silently dissolving the sword qi barrier.

In just a breath, the scorching divine fire broke through the barrier and struck directly against the pitch-black breastplate of the Monarch Incarnation.

"Hiss—!"

Chen You gasped; even through the incarnation, he still felt an indescribable burning sensation.

On the Monarch Incarnation's chest, the black armor began to crack and melt inch by inch under the scorching of the divine fire.

The pitch-black patterns, like scorched blood vessels, emitted a crimson glow.

Even more terrifyingly, that divine fire seemed to want to penetrate the incarnation and reach his actual body.

Chen You only felt his spiritual power being consumed at a terrifying speed, his heart beating violently as if it might explode at any moment.

"Qi Refining Seventh Layer is still too weak!"

He roared in his heart, but his body held on stubbornly, not retreating a single step.

In Japan's Red Capital, all the citizens kneeling on the ground erupted into deafening cheers upon seeing the heavenly god's divine fire instantly suppress the pitch-black demon god.

"Long live Amaterasu Omikami!"

"Die, devil!"

Watanabe Jie was even more moved to tears, scrambling up from the ruins and pointing in Chen You's direction while screaming.

"Let him die! Let him disappear completely!"

The Heguo Heavenly God's expression was unreadable, but his tone was full of contempt.

"Merely a hollow incarnation, yet you dare to challenge divine might."

He lightly shook his folding fan again, and the power of the divine fire surged once more, seemingly intending to completely incinerate Chen You's incarnation into ashes.

"Damn, it's over!" Chen You's face was pale, his spiritual power nearly exhausted.

But his left hand was still clenched tightly, with no intention of letting go.

"Come on! If you've got the guts, burn my incarnation and my body together! Whoever stops first is a coward!"

In his purple-gold eyes, there was no despair, but an almost frenzied ruthlessness.

I'll risk it all!

Just as he was about to activate the Burning Blood Heaven Incineration Art for a final desperate struggle.

"Hmph."

A cold snort exploded between heaven and earth without any warning.

That voice carried no emotion, yet it contained an inexpressible, supreme majesty.

A single syllable, yet it was like billions of thunderclaps exploding in the ears simultaneously, and also like a chaotic echo from an infinitely high and distant place.

The sky over the entirety of Japan's Red Capital instantly fell into a dead silence.

Whether it was the golden divine fire or the pitch-black demon god, all power fluctuations seemed to have been paused.

The space originally warped by the divine fire was instantly smoothed over by an even grander power.

The lead-gray cloud layer suddenly churned, as if stirred by an invisible giant hand, instantly stretching for thousands of miles.

The entirety of Japan was shrouded in thunderclouds.

Lightning rolled within the clouds; it seemed that in the next instant, the land below would be vaporized.

The Heguo Heavenly God's body suddenly trembled at that cold snort.

The golden light around him became as flickering and unstable as a candle in the wind, nearly going out.

That originally arrogant and indifferent blurred face now revealed an unbelievable shock and a deep-seated fear.

He suddenly looked up toward the vault of heaven.

There was nothing there except for the churning lead-gray sea of clouds.

But an invisible pressure, like Mount Tai pressing down, made him almost fall from the sky.

In the eyes of the Japanese citizens, their Amaterasu Omikami was actually trembling incessantly at this moment.

"I, who govern the Myriad Gods of the Thunder Department, who preside over the disasters and blessings of heaven, who hold the balance of all things, who rule over objects and men, who command life and death, and before whom all calamities and hardships shall disperse."

A grand and majestic voice, like the resonance of the Great Dao, echoed in the mind of the Heguo Heavenly God.

It wasn't a language, yet it was clear and precise.

That voice carried an unquestionable command, like a heavenly principle, directly engraved into the Heguo Heavenly God's divine soul.

"If you do not leave now, I shall destroy your divine kingdom."
