Chapter 426 Justice Descends from Heaven
[The selection process is already complete, Master.]
Luo Shu immediately responded.
Ever since his last experience with a deus ex machina, Bai Ze has been thinking about preparing a few more trump cards.
Having come to Yingguo alone this time, in a dangerous situation, Bai Ze would certainly not be without his trump cards.
The plan to take over the Steel Continent only came about after arriving in Japan; before that, the idea was simply, "Let the meteor fall."
Bai Ze gazed at the sky and said, "Let's take the Heavenly Demon Dharma Form as the landing point."
The sound was transmitted via a communication channel to the satellite—distant space.
In the dark universe, a meteorite was propelled by an invisible force and entered the gravitational capture range of Earth.
However, it fell.
As it entered the atmosphere, it was enveloped in a layer of burning, crimson flames.
It was like a burning sword sweeping across the night sky, leaving a dazzling, ever-elongating fiery tail behind it as it fell from the heavens.
The target—Heian-kyo, the capital of Japan—is even detailed down to a specific individual—Bai Ze's Heavenly Demon Dharma Form.
Gryphon and Brolin, who had already suppressed Bai Ze with their mental and telekinetic powers, looked up simultaneously as a huge fireball entered their field of vision.
Meteorite? Shooting star?
At a time like this?
Before they could figure out how to respond, a series of low, cracking sounds came from the sky, like distant thunder, but more solid and oppressive. Then, a dazzling light exploded in mid-air.
A meteorite of sufficient size may disintegrate and explode due to pressure in mid-air. The energy generated at that moment is the peak of pressure destruction, ranging from thousands to hundreds of thousands of tons of TNT equivalent.
Using numbers alone might not be specific enough, so let's use the simplest example.
The "little boy" who left a deep impression on Xiao Rizi in his previous life was equivalent to 1.5 tons.
Of course, meteorites disintegrate at an altitude of several kilometers or even tens of kilometers above the ground, and the peak power of the explosion is also at that moment. The destructive power is not as great as that of a nuclear weapon of the same yield.
Once it reaches the ground, its destructive power will certainly have been greatly reduced.
However, Glion and Brolin are currently trapping Bai Ze's Heavenly Demon Form in mid-air.
The high-pressure air crashed down like an invisible, indestructible wall, and the terrifying shockwave struck the force field created by Glion and Brolin.
The instantaneous collision caused Gryphon to let out a ferocious roar, and his black dragon form was revealed in an instant.
Brolin, on the other hand, had her invisible ripples materialize, forming a blurry wall similar to high-pressure air.
The two did not let Bai Ze go despite the shockwave from the meteorite's explosion; with their strength, they shouldn't have been crushed to death by a single shockwave.
As a result, the force field not only did not disappear, but was further reinforced, but was still subsequently blasted downwards by the giant wall of air pressure.
The force field formed a unified force field that crashed straight into a building and penetrated from the top floor to the bottom in an instant.
The high-pressure air shattered all the buildings at the center point, creating a violent shockwave that swept outwards, shattering countless panes of glass and fragile objects.
And afterwards, the disintegrating meteorite fragments, trailing forked fiery tails, crashed to the earth.
But at that very moment, a resounding clang suddenly rang out.
The storm paused for a moment, and the world was calm for a brief instant.
A bright, sharp blade swept across the sky in the blink of an eye, leaving a mark like a scar.
The storm fractured, the flames on the rift were extinguished instantly, and even the fragments shattered in mid-air, turning into countless pebbles and even dust, which rained down like rain.
The natural disaster was contained in time, but the two opposing forces in the meeting room changed at this moment.
The imposing sword energy that had been firmly holding half the territory suddenly retreated, suppressed by another violent energy.
"Has the swordsman from Japan made his move?"
On the other side of Heian-kyo, Bai Ze sensed the energy and spoke in a low voice.
At the same time, the footage inside the venue was also secretly stolen and presented to Bai Ze through nano-units.
At this time, the situation in the meeting room between the two sides was still stable.
Western Union Lieutenant General Ronald Kane stood tall and imposing like a mountain, inspiring awe in the assembled Chinese nobles and officials.
The bystanders dared not speak up.
Ronald Kane, a former Ultra Warrior, stands at a standard 2.5 meters tall, like a small giant. Ultra Warriors are seasoned veterans, and Ronald's combat experience is countless; his murderous aura is beyond the tolerance of ordinary warriors.
Opposite him stood an elderly warrior with white hair and beard.
The samurai had a physique unlike that of ordinary Japanese people. His large kimono accentuated his robust figure. Although he was old, he was still sharp and vigorous. Beneath his aged appearance lay a sword aura as fierce as a storm.
Needless to say, this person is none other than Tsukahara Shin'emon, the universally acknowledged sword saint of Japan.
He is one of only two Nine Stars in Japan, and also the biggest trump card that the Japanese royal family can rely on now.
As for the other nine-star, although he was a Japanese warrior, he had broken through with the help of the Western Alliance and had already gone to the Western Alliance before this storm.
"A single sword strike shattered all the meteorite fragments."
Ronald spoke in a deep voice, "If it were a head-on confrontation, I might not be your match. But unfortunately, you were distracted."
The two were originally locked in a standoff, but because the Sword Saint of the Garden was distracted and made a move, Ronald seized the opportunity.
In that instant, Tsukahara Kensei was at a disadvantage.
At this moment, there was a bloody hole in the old man's shoulder, from which flowed chilling sword energy and explosive energy like cannon fire, clearly indicating that he had been injured.
But his swordplay became increasingly imposing.
Or rather, it was tragic.
Although the injury affected his performance, it also boosted his aura and spirit to their peak. Moreover, Tsukahara Sword Saint had his own methods to suppress the injury, allowing him to fight again.
Faced with such an imposing presence, Ronald couldn't help but be on his guard.
However, his confidence never wavered; on the contrary, it grew stronger.
"Lord Tsukahara, even if you defeat me, it will be meaningless."
Ronald said in a deep voice, "There are two other experts of my level, and the general may return at any time. Now that the Rift Sea Whale is about to arrive in the East Sea, the Eastern Xia Federation is more concerned about the security of the coast, and they have also been provoked by the Divine Luo Empire in the Mountain and Sea Realm."
"Joining Western Union is your only option."
Upon hearing this, Iehara Kensei's aura remained unshaken, but the representatives of the Five Regents behind him showed strong signs of being moved.
They organized the negotiations in order to gain greater benefits, but now that the general has flexed his muscles and raised his fists, their ulterior motives have slowly and cautiously been put away under the threat.
Capital is profit-driven, greedy, and also weak.
Faced with that unstoppable power and the current dramatic situation, the representatives of the Five Regents clearly realized that they could no longer influence the overall situation.
Not to mention them, even the King of the West, who was hiding behind the scenes at this moment, was somewhat hesitant.
Even if she has boarded another ship, it will be meaningless if that ship cannot reach the coast of Japan in time.
In the Far East, only the Eastern Xia and Ursus were able to counterbalance the Western Alliance.
Ursus has yet to appear, and Dongxia is also showing signs of being overwhelmed with its own problems. Yingguo alone is simply no match for the Western Alliance.
After a brief silence, an elderly man representing the Imperial Guard of the Five Regents slowly spoke, saying, "Sword Saint, now that the situation is settled, then we..."
A sudden, sharp pain shot through his heart. The Konoe family representative braced himself on the table in front of him, swaying as intense agony spread across his face.
"Konoe—" another old man exclaimed upon seeing this, and was about to help the Konoe family representative when he suddenly showed the same look of pain.
Then, the two of them swayed and fell to the ground.
"Konoe, Takatsukasa."
Matsudō Kōji shouted in a low voice and hurriedly went to check on the two's bodies.
"This is··...."
Matsudō no Kōji suddenly stepped back, his face showing shock. "Heart shattered, meridians broken—this is the omnipresent zero-point vacuum energy, the General's punishment."
Vacuum zero-point energy is everywhere. If the general so desires, he can make vacuum zero-point energy mix with air or vital energy and be absorbed into the body.
If the target is not strong enough, the general can even make the vacuum zero point appear directly in the opponent's body, causing the opponent to explode and die.
When the general suppressed the Japanese, he used similar methods to demonstrate his power.
Matsudō no Kōji had also experienced that era, so he shouted out those words almost instinctively.
"Shut up!"
Ronald immediately shouted and went forward to examine the body.
The victory was already secured, and the general had no reason to make another move.
Even if these five ungrateful bastards were to die, there would be plenty of opportunities later, rather than choosing this moment.
However, Matsudō Tsunetsugu, whose defenses had been breached by fear, firmly believed that this was the shogun's punishment, and
...
'
Looking at the projected image before him, Bai Ze slowly said, "The rest of the people present also subconsciously believed Matsudō Tsunetsugu's words. They thought that if the imperial family and the five regent families were removed, the Western Alliance would be better able to annex Japan."
"That makes sense; conspiracy theories will never lack fertile ground to take root and sprout."
Spiritual energy is being constantly depleted, providing impetus for guiding the mind on a large scale.
But at the same time, Bai Ze's divine will continued to rise.
The general is going to lose, Bai Ze was so certain.
In terms of direct strength, Bai Ze doesn't even have a chance to withstand a single move from the general at this moment, but in the struggle for Ying Kingdom, the general has indeed fallen into an absolute disadvantage.
Bai Ze already knew about Zhang Huayang's other arrangement.
To prevent the worst-case scenario, Vice Principal Zhang Huayang sent Ye Liuyun, a martial artist from the Heavenly Gate, to the Cloud Wasteland in the Mountain and Sea Realm.
Once the general opens the spatial rift, Ye Liuyun, who is waiting there, jumps over to give the general a surprise.
As the most skilled martial artist of Dongtian Tianguan in recent years, Ye Liuyun's skill level is not as high as the general's, but his combat strength is not much weaker than the general's.
The general's vacuum zero-energy furnace is indeed very powerful; in terms of quantity, it may not even be as powerful as the divine enemy.
However, when it comes to quality, that's not the strength of vacuum zero-point energy.
Moreover, battles between Heavenly Gate warriors are not based solely on the data on paper.
Of course, this also applies to people of the same level. If someone's combat strength is inferior to that of a general, then the general will show them what it means to be utterly invincible and despairing.
In short, the general is now being held back by Ye Liuyun.
A faint fluctuation appeared around Bai Ze, his spiritual power solidifying and interfering with reality.
At the same time, divine will reached the mind, permeating every area of the brain, and began to impact the last of the seven souls.
—Tenchōpo!
Feeling his will power rising, Bai Ze looked at the scene in the venue and said calmly, "Announce to all citizens of Ying Kingdom."
"A notice to all citizens of Ying Kingdom—" Matsudō Tsunetsugu spoke at this moment, transmitting his voice to the live broadcast cameras, "The Western Alliance General harbors wolfish ambitions. To stop the General's attempt to annex Ying Kingdom, our Five Regent Families have already paid the price with the lives of two heads. Next, it may be me, or it may be someone else, anyone. Anyone who attempts to stop the General may die."
"But I am absolutely not afraid of death. For the sake of Japan!"
This must have been the most glorious and righteous moment in Matsudō Tsunetsugu's life, a moment that even the entire Japanese aristocratic class had never witnessed.
The sudden announcement stunned everyone present.
It's not that I was moved by Matsudō Tsunetsugu's greatness and righteousness, but rather that I never expected this old guy to have this side to him.
Those who were able to enter all held considerable positions in Japan; they all knew the true nature of the noble families and high-ranking officials.
It's one thing to just pretend normally, but now you're telling us you're serious?
Old man, if you want to die, don't drag us down with you.
Even with Bai Ze subtly manipulating emotions, it was difficult to make those present suddenly risk their lives for Ying Kingdom.
Even if Bai Ze wanted to change everyone's thinking and turn them into patriots, it would be far more difficult than turning them into servants, and would consume far more mental energy.
but-
"Use your general identity to issue an order on the Western Union's military channel," Bai Ze's voice grew increasingly indifferent, "to eliminate all those who resist the general."
As soon as the words were spoken, the order was sent to the communication terminals of every Western Union soldier.
Then, gunshots rang out.
That must have come from somewhere not far away, outside the venue.
Immediately afterwards, sporadic gunshots rang out, gradually becoming more frequent.
If you're unwilling to resist, then we'll help you resist.
Meanwhile, amidst the ruins of the dilapidated building, celestial demonic energy swirled around a crystal, slowly coalescing into shape.
Bai Ze's Heavenly Demon Dharma Form reappeared.
The bombardment of high-pressure air shattered the force field and caused the Bai Ze Dharma Form trapped within it to collapse. However, as long as the vital energy remains, this Dharma Form can be completely reformed.
This is the advantage of the Dharma form.
Otherwise, Bai Ze wouldn't have used the Heavenly Demon Dharma Form as the landing point to send down the meteorite.
In comparison, the situation of the other two may not be so good.
