PDLP Chapter 224 So it turns out... even the blood of gods is bloody!
Chapter 224 So it turns out... even the blood of gods is bloody!
Great Xia, the headquarters of the Night Watch.
Several images were displayed simultaneously on the huge screen.
To the left are the crimson cracks in the sky above the land of cherry blossoms, along with the constantly gushing blood and debris.
On the right are the spiritual energy monitoring data within the Great Xia territory, and that data is changing in a strange way.
In the center is a real-time image of the spiritual energy vortex in the direction of Lu County. That enormous vortex, with a diameter exceeding ten thousand miles, is slowly rotating.
President Qin stood in front of the screen, arms crossed, brows furrowed.
Behind him, a dozen people sat upright, not daring to breathe.
"Report!"
A technician stood up and said, "The preliminary analysis results for the situation in Japan are in."
President Qin took the report and quickly glanced through it.
Then, his brows furrowed even more.
"Possibly it fell from Takamagahara? And merged with the present world?"
He looked up at the technicians.
Is this conclusion reliable?
The technician nodded.
"Based on the analysis of energy fluctuations, some of those limbs still retain extremely powerful energy fluctuations."
"This energy is similar to the phantom images of the Hehe Erxian (Two Immortals of Harmony) that we detected in Luxian County."
"But it's more brutal, more primitive."
After listening, President Qin remained silent for a few seconds.
Then, he turned around and looked at everyone present.
"Everyone, please share your thoughts."
There was a few seconds of silence in the conference room.
Then, a senior executive stood up and cleared his throat.
"President Qin, I believe that the strange phenomenon in Japan this time is essentially the same as the Oasis incident that happened in our country before."
"They are all a fusion of the secret realm and the present world."
"However, the scale is much larger."
He paused.
"Moreover, judging from the blood and debris, the situation in Takamagahara, the land of cherry blossoms, is extremely bad."
"It might even... have been completely destroyed."
Upon hearing this, everyone present nodded in agreement.
This judgment is the same as what most people think.
But President Qin did not express his opinion.
He simply looked at the executive and asked a question.
"If the secret realm has merged with the real world, then why hasn't there been a large-scale fluctuation of spiritual energy in the Sakura Country?"
"Our monitoring equipment clearly detected the drastic changes in spiritual energy concentration during the Oasis incident."
The executive was taken aback.
Then, he opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word.
Yes.
If a secret realm were to merge with the mortal world, it should be accompanied by the release of a large amount of spiritual energy.
However, in the land of cherry blossoms, apart from the energy fluctuations of the wreckage itself, there was almost no additional release of spiritual energy.
This is not reasonable.
The meeting room fell into deep thought.
At this moment, the head of the monitoring department stood up.
"President Qin."
He spoke, his expression somewhat strange.
"I think we already have the answer to this question."
All eyes were on him.
President Qin looked at him.
"explain."
The head of the monitoring department took a deep breath.
"The moment the strange phenomenon appeared in the Sakura Country, the energy fluctuations in all the secret realms within our Great Xia territory almost simultaneously returned to calm."
"The practice of the Deer County Vortex extracting spiritual energy from the secret realm has ceased, and..."
He paused.
"The vortex then turned towards the direction of the Cherry Blossom Country, instantly drawing in a large amount of spiritual energy."
"The exact number cannot be estimated."
"At the same time, during this period, the influence of the spiritual energy vortex on our Great Xia decreased by 43 percentage points, and its influence on the world decreased by 26 percentage points. It is still declining."
These words caused an uproar in the room.
"What?!"
"Has our secret realm returned to normal?"
"this……"
The crowd was abuzz with discussion, their faces filled with shock.
President Qin was also stunned.
He stared at the head of the monitoring department, his eyes filled with disbelief.
"You mean... that vortex of spiritual energy is currently absorbing the spiritual energy from the crack in the sky above the Sakura Kingdom?"
The head of the monitoring department nodded.
"Yes."
"And the absorption rate is extremely fast."
"Almost at the same time that the strange phenomenon appeared in the Sakura Country, the vortex began to draw spiritual energy from that direction."
He paused, then continued.
"Therefore, although the strange phenomenon in the Sakura Country looks massive, in reality, the vast majority of its spiritual energy has been absorbed by the vortex."
"Otherwise, given the scale of energy leaking from that crack, the entire Sakura Country would probably already be..."
He didn't finish his sentence, but everyone understood what he meant.
Silence fell again in the meeting room.
Everyone was shocked by this information.
"I have a question."
At this moment, a senior executive raised his hand.
"If that vortex is indeed drawing spiritual energy from the direction of the Sakura Kingdom, then could we assume that...?"
"Was the strange phenomenon in Japan caused by being drawn in by the vortex?"
"Even... that crack was torn open by the vortex?"
These words caused another uproar in the room.
This guess is even more astonishing than the one before.
At that moment, President Qin suddenly remembered what Master Li had said—
"They're just some demons and monsters, nothing to be afraid of."
At the time, he thought that Master Li was referring to the shooting stars in Japan.
Now think about it...
Could what Master Li was talking about be that crack?
Could it be... those things behind the crack?
"President Qin."
At this point, the head of the monitoring department spoke again.
"There's one more thing."
President Qin looked at him.
"explain."
The head of the monitoring department took a deep breath.
"There's one more thing."
President Qin looked at him.
"explain."
The head of the monitoring department took a deep breath.
"Currently, we have detected various unusual phenomena at several ancient religious sites around the world."
"Mount Olympus, the ruins of Babylon, the Giza pyramids..."
"There are abnormal energy fluctuations in both."
He paused.
"Moreover, these phenomena only appeared after the spiritual energy vortex had formed."
After listening, President Qin fell silent.
Then, he suddenly laughed.
"I see."
He said.
"Relay my orders."
"Continue to monitor the situation in Japan."
"Strengthen vigilance in coastal areas."
"At the same time, we are closely monitoring the developments of other religious holy sites around the world."
Report any unusual activity immediately.
"yes!"
The crowd responded in unison.
President Qin stood up and walked to the window.
Outside the window, the night was deep.
But in the southern sky, countless lights were faintly twinkling.
That's the direction of Luxian County.
That's the direction of Qingfeng Temple.
As President Qin looked at the beam of light, a strange feeling suddenly welled up in his heart.
Master Li...
It's changing the whole world!
……
at the same time.
The land of cherry blossoms.
Blood rain continued to fall from the sky.
Those severed limbs continued to fall, crashing onto the ground, onto the roof, and onto the torii gate of the shrine.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
One sound after another, and the entire city of Chuyun trembled.
Abe Shōkichi stood in the rain of blood, soaked to the bone. Blood streamed down his hair, blurring his vision, but he didn't wipe it away. He simply stood there, staring unblinkingly at the enormous thigh in the plaza in front of him.
Only one thought occupied my mind...
What exactly happened?
That day, a voice came from Susanoo's head, instructing him to sacrifice young boys and girls to await the right opportunity.
He believed that it was the opportunity for the gods to return.
But now...
The sky split open, blood rained down, and the remains of gods fell from the heavens.
How can this be considered a return to normalcy?
This is a fall!
This is Takamagahara falling!
Standing there, Abe Shōkichi felt his faith crumbling bit by bit.
He remembered the wreckage at the crash sites.
Those severed limbs, those mangled bodies, those severed heads...
He thought it was a gift from the gods.
But now he knows.
That was not a reward at all.
Those are the divine bodies of the gods of Takamagahara.
It is their broken, shattered divine body.
Abe Shōkichi swayed and then knelt on the ground.
What exactly happened?
This doubt almost dragged him into the abyss.
He didn't understand.
Why?
Why did the gods of the Cherry Blossom Country become like this?
Who... turned them into this?
That golden giant sword?
Or something else?
Abe Shōkichi knelt on the ground, trembling all over.
"Sir!" came a subordinate's voice from behind, "Sir! What should we do now?"
Abe Shokichi did not answer.
He knelt there, motionless.
What should I do?
He also wanted to know what to do.
What else can be done in this situation?
tired.
Destroy it.
Abe Shōkichi closed his eyes, and blood mixed with tears slid down his face.
He stuck out his tongue and licked it.
The smell of blood was very strong.
"Is this the taste of the gods?" he murmured.
"So, even the blood of gods is bloody."
Just then...
A female voice echoed in Abe Shokichi's mind.
This time, the voice was no longer ethereal; it was very close, very close, as if someone was speaking behind him.
Moreover, the voice was filled with anger.
"What kind of trash have you messed with this time?!"
