Setting Sun
Although it lacked the dazzling sword light of light pollution, the Wall of Sword Wind constructed from the Sand and Stone stirred up by the orca phantom extended far into the distance. The visual impact of that colossal wall far surpassed that of light pollution.
The Omen that had been drawn along the path vanished instantly, but even more Omen began to move in this direction.
Feng Xue's use of the "Heart Over Matter" power to gather the monsters was clearly quite effective. Although the dense array of Omen seen in the aerial photographs was chilling, the pressure on other regions was significantly reduced.
The Omen themselves have long been overwhelmed by chaotic consciousness; they only have the instinct to acquire consciousness. Whether it's devouring the void or killing humans, they will do anything to gain consciousness.
Of course, this also includes cannibalism.
The Omen, who had no concept of satiety, met on the road drawn by Feng Xue. When the distance closed to the point where they could reach out and touch, the Omen could not resist the temptation and opened their mouths wide at their "kindred spirits" who were also aggregates of [consciousness].
To be precise, it is inaccurate to regard Omen as the same kind. Just as each omen comes from a different world and has a different underlying setting, there is also a lack of necessary connection between Omen. To regard them as the same kind is as foolish as some film and television works that regard fox demons eating rabbit demons or mermaids eating fish as cannibalism to avoid confusion.
These individuals, who have absolutely no concept of "kindness," move forward while gnawing at each other. They do not have the idea of "killing" each other, or rather, they only have instincts and have never even had the concept of "thoughts."
However, this situation was not reassuring enough, because as the density of the Omen increased and they began to devour each other, although their overall numbers started to decline, their size visibly expanded, and behind them, even more gigantic Omen emerged from the ruins.
"This really brings out all the old Omen that have been accumulating on the outskirts of the Infinite City for decades."
Feng Xue unleashed a series of "Orca Big Fight" attacks, blasting away all the approaching Omen. Then, when the Omen had gathered enough, she Orca River Severing Slash, erasing Omen all at once.
Such battles were almost effortless for him. As time went on, the streamers who were originally waiting to fill in gradually relaxed. In addition to the background music, some even set up tables and became the atmosphere team.
The Sun in the Sky, gradually moved westward, and the light became increasingly dim and yellow. However, the afterglow of the sunset made the streets, which had been reduced to ruins, appear even more desolate. Combined with the distant view that looked like some madman had started a rumbling sound, Feng Xue couldn't help but take out her phone and take a few pictures to use as wallpaper.
"How much longer can we hold out?" Within the now-illusory God Gathering, the masked figure in blue robes asked, while the Hundred-Eyed Demon, who had left behind a clone, pressed his left eye and replied:
"Those that can be lured out with True Thing are basically all here. At the current rate, we probably won't last until tomorrow."
"Then let's begin." The voice beneath the demon mask was cold and clear. Upon hearing this, Hundred-Eyed Demon nodded without any surprise.
"The Midsummer Night Festival in all prefectures are ready, and all the Amanojaku are in place, but is it still at Fuji TV? Although it wasn't attacked there, it's too close!"
"Sky Tree." The concise term was uttered, Hundred-Eyed Demon nodded, understanding that this was the answer, and immediately began making contact.
Her clones were spread throughout the entire Eastern Kingdom. As commands were issued, doors in various parts of the Eastern Kingdom opened one after another, and Landfill Area Manager who had made achievements in the past year arrived at their designated locations to welcome the upcoming transformation.
As the Setting Sun dipped lower into the sunset, Feng Xue's phone suddenly rang. He immediately unleashed a Basic Fist Technique, dispelling the Omen nearby, then pulled out his phone and connected directly to the caller ID:
"What is it? I'm busy right now!"
"Our people have arrived in Tokyo Bay and will be there in ten minutes at most!"
Chen Xiyao's voice accompanied by the sound of orderly footsteps. Feng Xue was slightly taken aback, then said:
"These big ones are almost empty, you can go somewhere else now."
"We're here to take over your battlefield. The Midsummer Night Festival has been moved up... Never mind, just check the major TV stations and Online Platforms in the East on your phone and you'll see!"
Chen Xiyao spoke hurriedly, while Feng Xue used the Heavenly Sphere Star Shifting Technique a martial arts technique) to take the tablet from a news anchor who was acting as a mood-maker. She switched to TV Tokyo and saw a group of men and women sitting in a large circle in front of a brick and stone open space with a shrine torii gate as the background. Candles flickered in the air. Although there were no supernatural elements, as the sky gradually darkened, the strange atmosphere of fear brought by the candlelight slowly fermented.
"Is this the ritual of the Hundred Tales?"
Feng Xue immediately sensed the chill emanating from the live broadcast scene. Looking up at the sky, she saw that the Setting Sun was only a few rays remaining, and it was probably not long before it went down.
"Right now, all the slightly larger cities in the Eastern Kingdom are holding Midsummer Night Festival, and even I can't manage to be in two places at once!"
Although Feng Xue possesses the Gu Poison Body, those little things are only good for dealing with Low-level Supernatural Tale. They would struggle to even contend with the squad leader of the Hundred Tales, let alone the inevitable executives.
"I know! But according to our intelligence, the Hundred Tales Ritual has a distinction between primary and secondary rituals. These rituals are secondary; the truly important one is the core ritual!"
Chen Xiyao said as she ran, and Feng Xue narrowed her eyes slightly and said directly:
Where is the core ceremony?
"I don't know, I can only confirm that it was in Tokyo. It was probably at Fuji TV a few years ago, but we surrounded Fuji TV immediately after landing in Tokyo Bay and didn't find any trace of the ceremony."
As Chen Xiyao spoke, Feng Xue could already sense the rapidly approaching aura in the distance. He once again waved the Orca Pillow, using the Tidal Force to push away the Omen, and smoothly exchanged positions with a group of soldiers with Golden Bell Shield level 10 or higher.
"Huff, huff..." Chen Xiyao gasped for breath as she shoved a map of Tokyo into Feng Xue's hand, speaking rapidly:
"We've already marked out the possible locations, and we've sent people to investigate those areas, but they've all disappeared."
Listening to Chen Xiyao's words, Feng Xue unfolded the map, looked at the five or six red circles drawn on it, and nodded, saying:
That's enough.
"That's good. By the way, we've found Warehouse No. 8 and are currently negotiating with them." Chen Xiyao finally caught her breath and brought up the issue of the parents of a certain high school girl with Black Long Straight Hair.
Although there was no reason for it, after learning about the characteristics of the girl named Yomi Yurika, who served as a clue, she couldn't help but feel a bit wary.
"Oh, so you found that Phantom Object too?"
Feng Xue immediately became interested. Chen Xiyao, seeing that his attention was on the Phantom Object, felt somewhat relieved and nodded, saying:
"It's supposedly a memorandum that can make people and events recorded in it forget them, and the pages torn from it have a weakened version of the effect. It's also said that the paper can be recycled. However, judging from the current progress of the negotiations, it's estimated that in the end we'll just exchange technology and aid for some pages. After all, we're not robbers."
