Ma Ran raised an eyebrow: "Considering the time, itâs about right."
Ogata Shitou didnât look too pleased.
Originally, according to the speed of the Profound Immortal Teamâs convoy, they should have made it in time.
But now...
They were still far away!
Though he desperately wanted to charge into Nagasaki to save people immediately, Ogata Shitou remained somewhat realistic about his own capabilities.
As a National Guardian-level Superpower User, Ogata Shitouâs growth potential was decent, but his current combat power was indeed not outstanding among his peers.
And he had already learned some information about Feng Yuji through his exchanges with the Prophet Ma Ran.
He understood clearly that rushing there alone right now would be reckless, nearly a suicide mission.
So, even in his urgency, Ogata Shitou forced himself to remain calm.
He quickly found a live-streaming page and handed the phone to Ma Ran.
On the screen, scenes of Sea Demon Feng Yuji rampaging in Nagasaki were being broadcast.
Perhaps due to the poor filming skills of the streamer, or the fear overwhelming them, the entirety of Feng Yuji wasnât visible from the live feed.
In the frantically shaking lens, one could vaguely see a shadow that blotted out the sky.
Wherever the shadow passed, drops of black rain drizzled down.
The residents of Nagasaki, upon being touched by the rain, exploded without warning, turning into pools of blood that merged with the black rain, ascending into the sky, and merging into the shadow of Feng Yuji.
"..."
Ma Ran frowned: "Pass down the order for all combat squad members to wear hazmat suits in advance."
This Feng Yuji, itâs genuinely powerful.
In the previous generation, although countries managed to kill it, at a great cost, no one knew its origin until Earthâs end.
Itâs known that itâs definitely not a native Earth lifeform, having infiltrated Earth for quite a time.
In its larval state, Feng Yuji should be minuscule, even smaller than an ant, with high-priority invisibility and fission capabilities.
Before evolving into its mature form, if inflicted with fatal damage, it would immediately split into countless offspring, turning one Feng Yuji into thousands upon thousands.
Eliminating it prematurely is not feasible.
But once it awakens from dormancy, after devouring a large amount of living flesh and souls, it will metamorphose into its complete form, capable of producing a vast number of offspring.
Therefore...
If left unchecked, a Sea Demon disaster is indeed a "World Destruction-level" catastrophe.
Ma Ran shook his head, tossing the phone back: "I donât ask you to maintain composure like Mount Tai collapsing before you; at least adjust your state."
"The battle is about to begin."
"Donât die so easily!"
Upon hearing this, Ogata Shitou took a deep breath.
Lately, the Profound Immortal Team, using extreme business and the JPN Extraordinary Comprehensive Tournament as spear and shield, has crushed many of Japanâs extreme organizations and noble families, consuming vast resources and rapidly expanding its influence!
Having plundered abundant resources, the current Profound Immortal Team is formidable!
A lot of Extraordinary Ones, amid relentless battles and resource infusion, have grown rapidly, boasting formidable combat ability.
The attrition rate is high, but the results are considerable.
Even with some confidence in himself, Ogata Shitou knew that even without considering the entire Profound Immortal Team, simply looking at the twelve battle squads in this convoy, any squad could potentially take him down.
So...
Within the convoy, the Profound Immortal Teamâs battle squad members are not just there for numbers.
Each one has their own meaning and value for being there.
"Ah..."
Ogata Shitou held the phone in one hand, pressing down on the acupuncture point near his nose with the other hand.
In recent days, the Profound Immortal Teamâs influence has rapidly spread, reaching as far as Yamaguchi Prefecture.
The northern half of Japan is almost entirely under the Profound Immortal Teamâs influence.
But...
Yamaguchi Prefecture is still separated from Nagasaki by Fukuoka and Oita Prefecture.
Originally, according to "Lord Zhao Guanlanâs" plan, the Profound Immortal Team was only responsible for the safety of civilians within its jurisdiction; those west of Yamaguchi Prefecture, whether they lived or died, were not their concern.
The reason "Profound Immortal" agreed to intervene in the Nagasaki rescue was solely on the account of Ogata Shitou [Profound Immortal Right Arm] and his vow of allegiance.
However...
Screech!
The synchronized sound of brakes reached Ogata Shitouâs ears.
The convoy was blocked again.
His barely contained anger exploded as if doused with gasoline.
"Die!"
Ogata Shitouâs bloodshot eyes, immediately summoned two Shikigami known for their killing abilities: "Slaughter those blocking the way!"
"If they want innocent civilians to die needlessly, Iâll have them die first!"
"Slaughter them all for me!"
"Kill them all until nothing remains!"
Ogata Shitou, who usually appeared cunning but was inherently kind, had been pushed to a breaking point, almost turning evil.
At this moment, veins bulged on his forehead as his body trembled with rage: "Anyone who dares block the way, Iâll kill them!"
Ma Ran impassively closed the car window, ignoring the screams and cries coming from outside, calmly playing on his phone and tapping the screen rapidly.
Zhou Yu, seated in the back, dared not look directly but used the corner of his eye, activating the Electric Fire Stone ability for a quick glance of 0.2 seconds.
Turns out...
The leader, busy as he was, had posted on the 2CH forum during the break.
"Internal Secret Messaging! Mystery of the Profound Immortal!"
Content as follows:
"I am a senior member of the Profound Immortal Team, specific identity and name will remain anonymous; those who know, know, no need to elaborate here."
"Originally, the leader intended only to ensure the safety of residents within Profound Immortal Teamâs coverage; other areas were to be handled by the authorities."
"After all, as a country with a five-millennium legacy from the Other Shore has a sayingââMind your own business.â Doing our best is enough for a clear conscience."
"However! The National Guardian-level Ability User, [Profound Immortal Right Arm] Mr. Ogata, paid many costs and promises, pleaded and begged the leader for action."
"The leader relented and decided to directly proceed to Nagasaki for disaster relief."
"Our convoy was initially on track to arrive before Feng Yujiâs awakening [Video File: Convoy Crossing Entire Island]."
"Everyone sees, we didnât delay!"
"However... halfway, those âcarnivoresâ deliberately sent people to block the road, severely delaying us."
"As a result, Feng Yuji awoke, and we hadnât arrived yet!"
"No one at the disaster site could control the situation..."
"Mr. Ogata was almost infuriated to death!"
"Even a good-tempered person like him finally couldnât hold back from a massacre [Video File: Ogata Shitou Kills Roadblockers]."
"Friends, do you think Mr. Ogata was right? I, for one, think he did nothing wrong!"
"Ah yes! I deviated quite a lot. Letâs get back on track now!"
"As a high-level member of the Profound Immortal Team, Iâm privy to some highly encrypted messages!"
"If not for our Profound Immortal Team heading to the âSea Demon Battlefieldâ for a showdown with the terrifying âFeng Yuji,â with my low survival chance, I wouldnât share this."
"The [Profound Immortal] Lord Zhao Guanlan, with Yin-Yang Power at its core, grinding creation, wields a mighty force far beyond the well-known [World Destruction Thunder]!"
"In my view, Profound Immortalâs scariest ability is the Melt Devouring technique, consuming and melting everything with magmaâs power!"
"This time, everyone should be able to witness the invincible stance of Profound Immortal!"
"No more words, itâs time for the battlefield now."
"Wish me luck, everyone! (B-heart.jpg)"
The writing was tiny, and after reading it, Zhou Yuâs eye couldnât help but twitch slightly.
The longer he interacted, the more he felt that this Profound Immortal Lordâs style was quite eccentric, like something out of the blue, and very...
Unconventional.
