248 Subduing the Monster City Single-Handed (Part 2) / 249 A Grand Occasion
Shuya, having said this, looked at the world around him and said, "Eight out of ten Japan Monster have already surrendered to me, and eight out of ten Japan Monster Domain belong to me. I would like to ask, who exactly... has the right to rule this Monster Domain?!"
Shuya's words carried Divine Power, and as soon as they were spoken, they resounded throughout the Kyoto Monster Domain like rolling thunder.
A few seconds later.
The four gates of the capital city suddenly swung open!
Eight or nine out of ten (censored) phantoms of the extraordinary warriors summoned by the clan heads, such as Yamata no Orochi and Tamamo-no-Mae, turned their weapons toward the Kansai Monster.
The heads of the Kansai families were speechless, only one sentence kept repeating in their minds:
It's all over, it's finished...
P. S. 1: It's been a long time since I've played (Part 1) and (Part 2) in the title.
Ps2: Regarding the final battle in the Kyoto Monster Domain, I couldn't find a reason why the protagonist would be caught in a tough fight. The overwhelming force was already overwhelming, so there was really nothing to write about. Therefore, I just decided to show off and be done with it.
Chapter 264, Section 248: One Horseman Monster City (Part 2)
Shuya gently lifted the reins, and the white horse, enveloped by his strength, leaped nimbly onto the city wall.
The Kansai Monster dared not move, restrained by the surrounding phantom warriors.
Shuya single-handedly suppressed all the Monster in the city.
He leisurely rode forward. The white horse wasn't particularly intelligent, but it knew this was a momentous occasion, a highlight of its demonic life, so its movements were as elegant as if it were participating in the Olympics.
Shuya let Hakuba do as he pleased, leading him to Yamata no Orochi and Tamamo-no-Mae.
Their demonic forms Shuya, who was riding a horse, which was clearly the result of shrinkage.
Shuya looked at them and asked, "Are you willing to surrender?"
"I don't want to!"
Tamamo-no-Mae Yamata no Orochi, its eyes filled with resentment, roared, "With all the power of the Kansai Monster, I can summon Yamata no Orochi! Even without the support of the Monster Domain, I can defeat it!"
Before he could finish speaking, Shuya let out a soft sigh.
In an instant, the power that had been dormant in the Monster City was awakened by Shuya.
Four-colored rays of light shot up from all four directions of the capital city, and four phantom images of sacred beasts, taller than the city walls, loomed over the four sides.
Shuya looked at the Yamata no Orochi with a kind expression.
The Yamata no Orochi saw the four enormous sacred beasts with their heads bowed, their sinister gazes fixed on him.
His mind went completely blank.
Shuya said, "The Heian-kyo in reality was built with reference to the theory of the correspondence between the four gods. This capital city was built with the participation of the Strange Arts of Great Hua, and the power of the four sacred beasts was also incorporated into the construction of the city. As long as there is an order from the Alliance Leader of the Monster alliance, the power of the Four Sacred Beasts can be used to defend the city."
"I possess the Vermilion Bird Divinity, sharing the same origin as the Vermilion Bird Holy Beast over there, thus receiving a tremendous boost to my power. Even if you summon the Yamata no Orochi, it would be no match for me."
After Shuya finished speaking, the enormous Vermilion Bird lowered its head and approached Yamata no Orochi and Tamamo-no-Mae.
Vermilion Bird's pupils, like Shuya's eyes, were both so kind and compassionate.
Vermilion Bird opened her mouth and her voice boomed. "Do you want to surrender now?"
Thump!
The Yamata no Orochi no Orochi collapsed under the pressure. Its serpentine body lay limp on the ground, unable to exert any strength, its tongue sticking out and unable to retract.
The power of the Vermilion Bird Holy Beast accumulated in the capital over the years was too great, and he was completely stunned.
"Um?"
Shuya frowned, and Vermilion Bird's aura fluctuated.
Tamamo-no-Mae jolted awake and cried out, "We surrender! We surrender!"
Ding-dong.
Ding-dong...
It's unclear whose weapon fell to the ground first among the Kansai Monster, but soon everyone dropped their weapons.
They didn't directly face the pressure from Vermilion Bird; they just watched from the sidelines, but the pressure emanating from him already created a great sense of oppression for them.
This isn't some kind of life-or-death battle between races, and besides, they don't want to fight to the death for those Monster families.
The lower and middle-level Monster were the quickest to surrender; these were Monster without any power, and the concept of ruling had never been relevant to them.
Seeing this, the great Monster of the Monster family had no choice but to surrender.
There's really no way we can fight anymore.
The patriarch obeyed, and the subordinates promptly surrendered; the old Monster made no move.
How do I play?
We can't win, there's nothing we can do, we'll just have to surrender.
Three consecutive surrenders. jpg
Thus, from the fall of the Mount Oe Monster Domain to the complete surrender of the Kyoto Monster Domain, no more than half a day had passed.
The Kanto Monster Alliance successfully unified all Japan Monster and announced the establishment of the Japan Monster Alliance.
This big news spread rapidly.
At the same time, the legendary story of Inoue Shuya single-handedly Monster City also spread.
The establishment of the Japan Monster Alliance, led by Shuya, was a minor matter for the entire Earth Federation, but for the police departments of the Japan Administrative District, it was a momentous event.
This matter inevitably alarmed the special departments of the Japan Administrative District.
The Earth Federation does not have a separate department to target superhumans.
Extraordinary individuals, like ordinary people, are under the jurisdiction of the police system; the Extraordinary Department is a branch of the police system.
From the perspective of the Earth Federation, most superhumans are just ordinary people with some power; they might not even be able to win against a soldier with a gun.
But not all extraordinary individuals are like this.
For example, masters like Li Shuhong and Shuya, gods, and so on...
Monster.
While the power of Monster is weaker than that of gods, their ability to absorb the Power of Awe and grow rapidly is something that the Earth Federation truly fears.
Gods and Monster, these two types of extraordinary beings, have always been required to conceal their identities.
This was an agreement made with the extraordinary individuals when the Earth Federation was established.
Given the overwhelming military power of the Earth Federation, the gods and Monster had no choice but to agree.
But the gods are in a better position, being allowed to spread their faith to a limited extent.
Because if deities cause trouble, they will lose the Power of Faith, and their stance naturally leans towards ordinary humans.
Monster, on the other hand, become stronger the more trouble they cause.
Therefore, Monster were kept under strict guard.
Many people speculate that the current situation where there is no unified leader for Monster in the world's various administrative regions is intentionally orchestrated by the Earth Federation.
Takaita Daisuke didn't understand this question, nor did he dare to ask.
All he knew was that he had been summoned by the National Police Agency's Supernatural Bureau again because of Inoue Shuya's matter.
The Supernatural Bureau is the department in Japan Administrative District that manages extraordinary individuals. It's a very simple name, and its power is not great; it only manages extraordinary individuals.
This wasn't the first time Takaita Daisuke had been summoned here because of his relationship with Inoue Shuya.
He even felt like he was half a member of the Supernatural Bureau.
The headquarters of the Supernatural Bureau is located in Tokyo, which is easily accessible.
Takaita Daisuke been here many times before. He registered with practiced ease, and after waiting for a while, someone came to lead him to a familiar room to meet his familiar superior.
"..."
"..."
Takaita Daisuke and his superiors looked at each other speechlessly, seemingly choked with emotion (not really).
The structure of the Supernatural Bureau is not as complex as other departments. There is a director and deputy director, several section-level departments, and then some combat teams.
According to Takaita Daisuke, the Supernatural Bureau has been short-staffed for many years, but he has heard that the director, deputy director, section chief, and other high-ranking officials all come from prominent Onmyoji families and have impressive backgrounds.
The others below them were merely collateral branches of superhuman families used to deal with the government; they possessed talent, but none of them were among the top tier.
A significant portion of them were also wild martial artists and practitioners of Strange Arts.
But despite the small number of participants, there are still quite a few experts among them.
Kamo, Abe, Ashiya, and other major Onmyoji families have all collaborated with the Supernatural Bureau.
These Onmyoji alone are enough to suppress Japan.
In the legends passed down through generations, Onmyoji have always been adept at suppressing Monster. In the present day, these legends have become solidified, evolving into a natural rule for Onmyoji to suppress Monster.
Gods need faith and won't cause trouble, and ordinary warriors can't defeat guns and cannons; that's how the stability of Japan Administrative District came about.
However,
Now.
Japan Monster have surprisingly become unified.
It was unified in the hands of a human who possessed the identities of both a god and Monster.
This is ridiculous and utterly incomprehensible.
Section 265, page 249: A Grand Event
What's even more troublesome is that Onmyoji can counter Monster, the Heavenly Demon Body can also counter Onmyoji.
Even the Heavenly Demon Body stood on that side, as did the Shinmeiryu, who was tasked with exorcising Monster; their stance seemed to subtly lean towards Shuya.
The Supernatural Bureau had not yet received a response or instruction from the Earth Federation regarding the information they had previously reported, and now this mess had arisen from the Monster' side.
This is really annoying.
The Onmyoji in the Supernatural Bureau didn't really want to deal with these troublesome matters; they just wanted to focus on their cultivation.
Unfortunately, the situation changed drastically, and the leaders of the Supernatural Bureau could only complain that those Kansai Monster were too weak.
You surrendered in less than a day? What are you trying to do?
I'm so anxious to help you all!
The leader of the Supernatural Bureau was lost in thought when Takaita Daisuke up directly.
He said in a deep voice:
"Director Abe, actually, I'm not really that familiar with Inoue Shuya."
He's said this many times before.
Abe nodded noncommittally.
He didn't answer, but instead asked, "Takaita, do you know the latest news?"
"What news?"
Takaita Daisuke confused.
Deputy Director Ashiya said, "He has unified the Japan Monster."
Takaita Daisuke: "???"
