Truth is everywhere within range

Japan, Shizuoka Prefecture, around Mount Fuji.

Nearly twenty minutes have passed since the huge, strange-looking spear was inserted over Mount Fuji.

During these twenty minutes, the weather was calm, and even the water surface of Suruga Bend was calm.

The previous vibration that seemed to tear the earth apart was as unreal as a collective dream.

At a time when the world's eyes are focused on Japan's Mount Fuji, this calmness makes people even more uncomfortable.

It's like the most desperate few minutes before leaving, and like the moment of eternal darkness about to welcome the dawn.

Sweat dripped from Ii Masaharu's forehead.

"Really, no problem?"

He looked at Professor Taketori who had already opened the lollipop beside him.

"Don't worry, for that guy, destroying the enemy is basically no problem. The biggest problem is the destruction that follows. In this regard, he is exactly the same as his mother."

Professor Taketori stuffed the lollipop into his mouth, looking like he had finished get off work.

"As a god, you often ignore some basic things because of your own strength. When you can lift hundreds of kilograms of weight with your bare hands, you will naturally not bother to think about the principle of leverage. When you can have tens of thousands of If you live for years, you will naturally have no sense of how you spend each day.”

"But human beings are different. Their bodies are weak and their lifespans are short. Therefore, humans will explore the essence of how things work and cherish every day. Haha, how do you say it? There is a proverb in China, ten thousand years is too long, just strive for it. Day and night.”

She stretched, showing off her elementary school body.

"The human god, well, is the old god who developed the system of belief in gods. He was also a very weak existence at the beginning. He did not even have the godhead of the old god. Among those who dominated the ocean, sky and earth Struggling to survive among the behemoths, don’t worry about being affected by those extraordinary battles and dying at all times.”

"Because of this, He continued to create, control fire, transform the earth, conquer the ocean, reach the sky, and finally relied on his fragile body to become the most powerful old god in the world."

After hearing Professor Taketori's words, Ii Masaharu fell into silence.

really.

Along the way, he has dealt with many old gods.

Although these beings are powerful and long-lived, their use of power is very crude. Even if they do not count those who have been sealed for many years, they are far inferior to humans.

Is this the limitation of the strong?

Not to mention, those old gods themselves are powerful, but their families are quite primitive. They only exist as agents of plunder and killing, rather than passing down knowledge and technology like humans. Even if one person dies, there are still thousands of others. latecomers.

Perhaps this is why the world is now dominated by humans, rather than those of the old gods.

"I'll go to Mount Fuji first to check the situation. After all, it's probably the first time I've used that thing, so there might be some problems. Oh, by the way, having said that, I suggest you contact the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism to ask them Send someone here.”

Professor Taketori held the lollipop in his mouth and prepared to leave. Before leaving, he made another confession.

"Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism? What can they do?"

The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism is responsible for transportation, land development, cultural tourism, customs, meteorology and other affairs, and has no direct relationship with the Onmyoji Agency, which has jurisdiction over spiritual masters.

"Redrawing the map, of course."

Professor Taketori smiled and walked out of the combat command headquarters.

Ii Masaharu was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly.

He commanded the exorcists to appease the people who were in panic due to the previous drastic changes in Mount Fuji, while waiting for Qiao Qiao's return.

Well, nothing happened to Sakuraba Kiriye for the time being, so Qiao Qiao should still be alive.

Although communication was not possible due to some special reasons, Ii Masaharu felt relieved after confirming this.

"How's it going? It's been thirty minutes and there's still no movement from Qiao Sang."

Hoshikawa Gogoto came in a hurry. He was previously responsible for organizing the cover and attack work for the Yashima operation in the Shizuoka area, but he arrived belatedly at this moment.

"Not sure?"

Ii Masaharu suddenly saw a spiritual reaction on the big screen around Mount Fuji.

The huge, strange-shaped spear suddenly started to tremble.

Click——

With a loud noise, cracks appeared on the indestructible barrier.

One, two, the cracks gradually increased and became bigger and bigger.

Like cracking an egg shell, cracks quickly covered the entire barrier.

Bang——

The barrier suddenly shattered, and the spear fell down due to its own weight.

fall?

It was only at this time that Ii Masaharu discovered what had changed inside the barrier.

Hua Hua Hua——

The sound of running water became the only sound inside the newly liberated barrier.

Seawater from the sea continued to pour into the huge hole, gradually filling it into the shape of a bay.

Bang——

The spear fell into the sea and penetrated straight into the earth, creating a bizarre scene.

As for Mount Fuji, it no longer exists.

"?"

Ii Masaharu was stunned.

Xingchuan Yuyan was also stunned.

"Issan Issei, there was originally a Mount Fuji here, right?"

The corners of Xingchuan Yuyan's mouth twitched and he asked tentatively.

"really."

Ii Masaharu nodded hesitantly.

The volcano, a symbol of the Japanese spirit that can be seen in most of the country, has disappeared.

Instead, there is a huge seawater lake with a diameter of more than 60 kilometers, and its edge is a perfect circle, like an artificial creation.

No, this is artificially made, right?

On the big screen, the observation station's synchronous transmission screen was enlarged, and you could see a figure above the lake.

It's Qiao Qiao wearing Hellbound armor.

He slowly fell down to the end of the huge spear and stood there.

"Communication access!"

The priest in charge of communications picked up Qiao Qiao's signal.

"Joe"

"The Kagutsuchi of Fire is so abominable!"

Qiao Qiao said righteously before Ii Masaharu could.

"He is trying to revive himself using Mount Fuji as his body. If you want to defeat Him, you must destroy Mount Fuji. This kind of hostage-taking is really despicable."

"."

"However, according to international practice, we cannot compromise with criminals, so I can only reluctantly remove Mount Fuji."

"."

"Although Kagutsuchi of Fire seemed to have given up resistance during the first helium flash, I knew that this cunning villain would not give in so easily, so I used helium flash a thousand times in a row. It was finally completely purified.”

"Wait a minute, is the helium flash you are talking about the kind of thing that can destroy most of the solar system in one go?"

Ii Masaharu finally couldn't help but complain.

"Well, because of the principle of Hell's Border Armor, I can get recharged after each helium flash and release it again, so I released it a thousand times in a row to ensure that the Kagutsuchi of Fire would not have any persistence left. read."

"Being able to witness the brilliance of the helium flash, he deserves to die."

Qiao Qiao explained and suddenly said again.

"Issan Ii, Mount Fuji should be insured, right?"
