Chapter 147 A Mantis Trying to Stop a Chariot!
A bluish-white light shot into the sky from Mount Fuji.
The light grew brighter and brighter, eventually coalescing into a gigantic phantom in mid-air.
The illusory figure was an old man.
With white hair and a withered face, he wore ancient priest's robes and held a huge magatama in his hand.
The jade magatama was bluish-white, as large as a house, and emitted a faint glow.
Eight-foot-long jade ornament.
One of the three sacred treasures of Sakura Country.
The old man's phantom hovered in mid-air, looking up at the descending golden giant sword, a resolute expression on his withered face.
"Baka..."
He spoke, his voice old and hoarse.
"Our land of cherry blossoms will not tolerate being bullied by outsiders!"
The words fell.
The eight-foot-long magatama in his hand suddenly burst forth with a dazzling bluish-white light!
At the same time, the old man's phantom began to solidify, emanating an incomparably terrifying pressure!
That oppressive aura...
It was a divine realm!
Inside the Kyoto Arena.
Bishop Bernard stared wide-eyed at the sky.
"Divine Realm..."
He murmured, "The Land of Cherry Blossoms actually hides a divine realm!"
Deputy Director Eric's eyes widened as well.
He recalled the secret files of the New World.
The archives state that at the end of the war in the last century, the Sakura Kingdom attempted to awaken the sleeping divine realm and reverse the course of the war.
But it ultimately failed.
did not expect……
It's actually happened now!
On the other side, Abe Shōkichi knelt on the ground, raised his head, and looked at the old man's phantom in the sky, his eyes flashing with disbelief.
"This is……"
"This is... that great man from three hundred years ago?!"
He trembled all over, and his eyes shone with an astonishing light.
Three hundred years ago, Iwasaki Yuichi, the last powerful being in the Divine Realm of the Sakura Kingdom, abandoned his physical body on the verge of death and entrusted his soul to the Yasakani no Magatama to sleep, silently protecting this land.
This slumber lasted for more than three hundred years!
Now, at a time when the Sakura Kingdom is facing annihilation, he has finally awakened!
"My lord!" Abe Shōkichi cried out hoarsely, "Please protect my Sakura Kingdom!"
In the sky, the phantom of Yuichi Iwasaki seemed to hear his voice.
He lowered his head and glanced in the direction of the arena.
In those eyes, there was weariness, helplessness, and...
A hint of despair that was barely perceptible.
But he did not back down.
He looked up at the massive golden sword that was about to strike.
Take a deep breath.
then.
Yuichi Iwasaki's phantom, holding the Yasakani no Magatama, met the golden giant sword that descended from the sky.
Although his face was withered, his eyes, burning with blue flames, revealed endless determination.
He could sense the power contained within the golden greatsword...
Incredibly powerful!
So powerful that even with the divine artifact Yasakani no Magatama in his hand, he felt his soul tremble!
"Eight-foot jade pendant! Town!"
Iwasaki Yuichi let out a low roar, and the Yasakani no Magatama in his hand burst forth with a dazzling bluish-white light!
The light transformed into a massive pillar of light, shooting skyward and colliding with the golden greatsword!
boom!!!
A deafening roar!
The entire Sakura Archipelago seemed to be trembling violently!
however.
next second.
Yuichi Iwasaki's expression changed.
He felt that his eight-foot-long magatama, which he had activated with all his might, was no match for that golden giant sword...
It's like a mantis trying to stop a chariot!
Click!
A crisp cracking sound.
The first crack appeared on the surface of the Yasakani no Magatama.
Followed by.
The second one.
The third way.
The cracks are becoming more numerous and denser.
finally……
boom!!!
The Yasakani no Magatama shattered completely!
It transformed into countless bluish-white specks of light and dissipated into the air!
"No……"
Iwasaki Yuichi murmured.
He looked down at his hands.
Those hands are becoming transparent.
Starting from the fingertips, little by little, it transforms into specks of light, drifting away with the wind.
He looked up at the golden greatsword that was still slashing down.
His eyes were filled with resentment.
It has been asleep for three hundred years.
I woke up, all for this one strike.
then……
This is the end?
He opened his mouth, as if to say something.
But he didn't say anything.
The figure vanished completely.
There were no more obstacles in the sky.
The golden greatsword continued its downward strike.
Abe Shōkichi knelt on the ground, completely dumbfounded.
He opened his mouth, as if trying to shout something, but no sound came out.
He had only one thought in his mind:
It’s over.
It's all over.
The only divine being has fallen.
The Yasakani no Magatama, one of the three sacred treasures, is shattered.
Cherry Blossom Country...
What else?
In the sky.
The golden greatsword continued its downward strike.
Getting closer.
Getting closer.
at last.
boom!!!
The giant sword struck the ground.
The entire land of cherry blossoms was trembling violently!
Countless houses collapsed!
Numerous landslides!
The tsunami roared and crashed inland!
but……
Very strange.
The greatsword did not cause any further damage after it struck.
It just fell to the ground.
then.
It exploded.
Transforming into countless tiny golden specks of light, they spread in all directions at a visible speed, like a spring breeze!
I swept through Kyoto.
Sweep across Guandong.
It swept across the entire state/island.
Sweeping across Hokkaido.
Sweeping across the nine provinces.
Sweeping across every corner of the cherry blossom country.
It left no damage in its path.
The house did not collapse.
The tree was not broken.
No one was injured.
Like a warm breeze, gently blowing by.
Then, the golden light continued to spread outwards.
Sweep across the sea of cherry blossoms.
Sweeping across the ocean.
It swept across even farther places.
Ultimately, it vanished into the world.
Inside the arena.
Abe Shōkichi knelt on the ground, his body swept by the golden light.
He froze for a moment.
Then, he felt it.
It's a very strange feeling.
Like...
Something was taken away from my body.
It's not pain.
It's not weakness.
Rather, it is a kind of...
An inexplicable sense of loss.
It's like losing something very important.
But he checked his own body.
In good condition.
There were no abnormalities.
He looked up and around.
Those Japanese people who were kneeling on the ground raised their heads one by one and looked at each other in bewilderment.
They also felt that sense of loss.
But again, there was no damage.
"this……"
Abe Shōkichi was stunned.
He slowly stood up.
My body can move again.
The terrifying pressure disappeared.
The golden greatsword also disappeared.
The sky has returned to its normal blue color.
The sunlight streamed down, making it feel warm and cozy.
everything……
Is it all over?
Abe Shōkichi stood there, somewhat bewildered.
He suddenly remembered the sense of loss he had felt earlier.
What is that?
What exactly did that golden giant sword do?
Abe Shōkichi suddenly turned his head and looked in the direction of Mount Fuji.
There, the bluish-white light had completely disappeared.
Yasakani no Magatama...
Broken.
Yuichi Iwasaki...
It has fallen.
And all this resulted in was a gust of wind formed from golden light?
There was no actual harm?
Abe Shokichi's mind was in complete chaos.
He couldn't figure it out.
I really can't understand it.
That sword was so terrifying, so powerful, that even Iwasaki Yuichi, who wielded the sacred Yasakani no Magatama, couldn't withstand its attack...
After it was cut down, nothing was destroyed?
This……
Why is that?
Is it...
Just to scare them?
Abe Shōkichi's heart sank.
If so...
The Cherry Blossom Kingdom lost a divine being and a divine artifact, but in return...
Just a threat?
He dared not think any further.
Just then.
what! ! !
A piercing scream suddenly rang out in the arena!
