PDLP Chapter 213 Abe Shōkichi's Ambition
Chapter 213 Abe Shōkichi's Ambition
Onmyo-ryo Headquarters.
Abe Shōkichi knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times.
Then, he stood up and wiped away his tears.
At this moment, he was no longer lost and confused.
He is the Grand Onmyoji of the Onmyodo in the Kingdom of Sakura.
He is the highest-ranking official in the extraordinary realm of the Sakura Kingdom.
The person who should remain calm at this moment is the one most concerned about.
Abe Shōkichi took a deep breath and turned to look at his subordinates who were still standing there in a daze.
These people were all standing there with their mouths open and eyes wide, their faces filled with disbelief.
Clearly, they hadn't yet recovered from the shock they'd just experienced.
"Send men to the areas where those meteors fell immediately!"
Abe Shōkichi's voice regained its usual composure.
"Find out exactly what those things are!"
"At the same time, reassure the public and maintain order!"
He paused.
"Anyone who dares to cause trouble during this time, regardless of their status, will be killed without exception!"
The men were taken aback.
Then, he quickly bowed.
"Hi!"
Soon, only Abe Shokichi remained in the room.
He turned and looked out the window.
Outside the window, the lights still shone brightly.
Those auras are still powerful.
One after another, they shot into the sky.
From Kyoto, from Nara, from Osaka, from Nagoya, from Hokkaido, from Shikoku, from Kyushu...
It soared into the sky from every corner of the land of cherry blossoms.
Abe Shōkichi looked at the lights and felt the energy emanating from them.
His eyes welled up with tears again.
But he held back.
He took a deep breath and clenched his fist.
"Great Xia..."
he murmured.
"Now, we have a god too!"
His voice was very soft.
But his tone carried emotions that had been suppressed for too long.
It's frustrating.
It is resentment.
It's finally time to stand tall and hold my head high.
He had been holding this in for far too long.
The entire country of cherry blossoms has been holding back for far too long.
From the moment that sword fell, Japan became a laughing stock for the whole world.
Expelled from the nationality.
Isolated by the whole world.
Abandoned by former allies.
They were like stray dogs, despised and ridiculed by everyone.
but now……
The Cherry Blossom Goddesses are about to return!
They can stand up straight now!
Standing by the window, Abe Shōkichi looked at the dazzling lights, his heart burning with excitement.
He had waited for this day for far too long.
……
at the same time.
Europa, headquarters of the Church of Holy Light.
In the enormous conference hall, the Pope and the cardinals were staring at a large screen.
On the screen are images transmitted back by the satellite.
In the scene, shooting stars are falling from the sky above the land of cherry blossoms.
Those shooting stars were colorful, densely packed, and countless.
Even more bizarrely...
Those meteors caused no damage after they fell.
It just vanished into thin air.
Immediately afterwards, beams of brilliant light shot into the sky, soaring straight into the clouds.
Within those rays of light, some outlines could be vaguely seen.
The conference room was deathly silent.
Everyone stared wide-eyed at the images.
No one speaks.
No one even dared to breathe.
a long time.
A cardinal spoke with difficulty:
"Your Majesty... what happened in the Land of Cherry Blossoms?"
The Pope did not answer.
He just stared at the screen, his eyes filled with complex emotions.
The way those "meteors" appeared was too bizarre.
It appeared out of thin air.
There were no signs whatsoever.
and……
The energy fluctuations emitted when those lights burst forth...
The Pope took a deep breath and looked at the technicians beside him.
"Has the energy monitoring data come out yet?"
The technician stared at the instrument in front of him, his face pale.
"Your Majesty, they're out..."
He paused, his voice trembling slightly.
"Those energy fluctuations, even the lowest ones... have reached the standard value of the Divine Realm."
"The highest..."
He swallowed hard.
"The highest level has already exceeded our newly set standard for the Saint Realm."
The conference room fell silent once again.
Even the lowest level has reached the standard value of the Divine Realm?
Doesn't that mean...?
Any one of those meteors could unleash destructive power comparable to that of a god.
Moreover, how many such meteors are there?
Hundreds and thousands!
The Pope looked at the dense array of lights on the screen and felt a chill run down his spine.
"Contact our intelligence agents in Japan immediately!"
The Pope said in a deep voice.
"Find out exactly what that is!"
"yes!"
……
New World, Paranormal Research Bureau.
Jason stood in front of the big screen, his face ashen.
He was holding a coffee cup in his hand.
The cup had cracked at some point, and black liquid was leaking from the crack, dripping onto the ground.
But Jason was completely unaware.
He just stared at the soaring lights and the faintly visible figures on the screen, his brows furrowed into a deep frown.
"The Land of Cherry Blossoms..."
he murmured.
"What exactly happened?"
Beside him, the assistant spoke cautiously.
"Chief, could it be... the return of the gods from the Land of Sakura?"
Jason turned his head sharply and looked at him.
The return of the gods?
This guess made his heart sink.
If the legendary gods of Japan really did return...
The cooperation between the New World and Japan needs to be reconsidered.
After all, what the New World did before wasn't exactly honorable.
The assets of the Japanese expatriates were confiscated.
Forcibly repatriated Japanese nationals.
When Japan was at its most difficult time, they kicked it while it was down and stomped on it several times.
If the gods of the land of cherry blossoms were to return, how would they view the new continent?
Jason took a deep breath.
"Contact Abe Shokichi immediately!"
"I want to know the truth!"
"yes!"
……
The Gris Federation, Kremlin.
Ivanov stood by the window, holding a newly delivered intelligence report in his hand.
Intelligence reports indicate that a large-scale meteor shower has occurred within the territory of the Sakura Kingdom.
All those shooting stars fell within the territory of the Cherry Blossom Country.
and……
Each meteor emitted an extremely powerful energy fluctuation.
That energy level is at least at the divine realm.
Ivanov looked at the intelligence report, his brow furrowed.
He recalled the commotion from the Great Xia region earlier.
Kunlun Sword.
Strange phenomena in Lu County.
Desert oasis.
Now, it's another meteor shower in the land of cherry blossoms.
What kind of world is this going to become?
He turned around and looked at his subordinates who were waiting for orders.
"Pass down the order to intensify intelligence gathering efforts against Japan."
"In addition, notify our troops stationed in the Far East to raise their alert level."
"yes!"
……
Varanasi, the land of the white elephant.
On the banks of the Ganges, in an ancient temple.
The Grand Master stood by the window, looking at the eastern sky.
There, you can vaguely see some lights flickering.
That's the direction of the land of cherry blossoms.
He was silent for a long time.
Then, he murmured:
"The Land of Cherry Blossoms..."
"Is your god coming back?"
He paused, then shook his head.
"What good would it do to come back?"
"Some things cannot be solved by God."
He turned around and looked at the huge statue of Shiva behind him.
The statue remains majestic and mysterious.
But the Grand Master knew that it was just a statue.
The true gods have long since disappeared.
He sighed.
Let's continue to observe.
……
In the land of Mesopotamia, beside the ruins of Babylon.
Inside an inconspicuous underground building, several people dressed in black robes sat together.
They are core members of the Mesopotamian Extraordinary Organization.
This organization is called the "Sages' Society".
At this moment, they are discussing the same thing.
The strange changes in the land of cherry blossoms.
"What do you think of those unusual phenomena?"
The leader, a man in black robes, spoke.
An old man next to him shook his head.
"I can't see through it."
"The East is too mysterious."
"Our ancient books contain very few records about the East."
"All we know is that an extremely powerful entity once existed in the Great Xia Dynasty, but as for the Sakura Kingdom... there are no records whatsoever."
The leader of the men in black robes remained silent for a few seconds.
Then he spoke.
"In any case, we must be prepared."
"If something in Japan is truly reviving..."
He paused.
"It may not be a bad thing for us."
Everyone looked at him.
The leader of the men in black robes smiled.
"Don't forget, powerful beings once existed here as well."
"They are just asleep."
"If Japan can be revived, why can't ours?"
Everyone's eyes lit up.
"Sage, do you mean...?"
The leader of the men in black robes did not answer, but stood up and walked to the wall.
On the wall is an ancient mural.
The murals depict scenes from ancient Babylonian mythology.
There is the god of the heavens, Annu.
There is Enlil, the Lord of the Earth.
There is a water god named Ea.
There is the war goddess Ishtar.
Have……
He stared intently at the murals.
"Just wait and see."
"Our time will come too."
……
On the banks of the Nile.
Inside a tent next to an ancient pyramid, several elderly men dressed in white robes were talking in hushed tones.
They are core members of the Hippo Kingdom's Extraordinary Organization.
This organization is called "Eye of Ra".
"What are your thoughts on the situation in Sakura?"
An elderly man with white hair and beard spoke.
The person next to him shook his head.
"I can't see through it."
"But one thing is certain..."
He paused.
"Some kind of change is happening in Japan that we cannot understand."
The old man nodded.
"Continue to observe."
"Also, send someone to make contact with the Great Xia Night Watch."
"To express our goodwill."
"Yes."
