Chapter 494: 493, Disaster strikes Kyoto_1
“Don’t worry about that.” Emperor Manina XIII said with confidence:
“There are two sea areas between Huaxia Nation and Japan, the Yellow Sea and the Bohai Sea. The average depth of the Yellow Sea is 44 meters, and the Bohai Sea averages at 18 meters. Compared to these monsters that are generally over 60 meters tall, this is a small ditch. Do you think these depths could pose a problem for them?”
“Ah, I didn’t think of that.” Commander Langqi blushed a bit.
As the commander-in-chief, he was somewhat embarrassed that he hadn’t thought of this.
“Alright, Langqi.” Manina didn’t intend to ridicule his subordinate. “You go and inform all the expeditionary bases on Blue Star to activate the Gravitational Funnel!”
“Understood!” Langqi turned and entered the command on the main console, conveying the Emperor’s will to every officer and soldier in the expeditionary army.
…
…
Blue Star – Japan – Kyoto.
After the Gravitational Funnel was activated, the sky over Kyoto suddenly underwent a dramatic change.
The pedestrians on the street were walking as usual.
But suddenly, they found that the sky had abruptly darkened.
Surprised, they looked up and found that a huge red “funnel” had appeared in the sky, somewhat reminiscent of a tornado on the American plains.
However, this “funnel” was hundreds of times larger than a tornado, covering the entire sky. Its blood-red color made one feel as if the end of the world was coming just by looking at it.
“What’s going on? (Japanese)”
“What on earth is this? (Japanese)”
People questioned those around them in surprise, but no one could give an answer.
The red “funnel” was spinning rapidly in the sky. Soon, the sky darkened, and what was supposed to be a morning at nine became a terrifying night.
Just as people were shivering in fear, a loud voice came from the sky: “Insects of Blue Star, come and enjoy this terrifying feast! (Chinese)”
The words were spoken in Chinese by the Skuru people after translation.
Most Japanese people don’t understand Chinese, so they were still bewildered.
But a very small number of Japanese do understand Chinese. After hearing these words, their faces changed dramatically!
It’s finally happening!
…
Seven to ten seconds after the red “funnel” began to spin in the sky, it was fully formed.
At the smaller end of the “funnel”, gigantic monsters measuring sixty to seventy meters long were being thrown out.
Some monsters were heavily specialized in defense, their skin covered by a thick, hard shell;
Some monsters were agile and powerful, like an oversized tyrannosaurus, charging fearlessly into the densely populated areas of Kyoto as soon as they landed;
Some monsters were enveloped by enormous spiritual energy auras. The auras radiated dazzling light that could blind an ordinary person with just one glance. These monsters were the spellcasters among the monsters;
There were also flying Warcraft who skipped the “land” stage saving time, soaring freely in the sky over Kyoto as soon as they emerged from the mouth of the funnel.
…
The terrifying point was that these monsters were not acting completely at liberty, their actions were still being controlled by the Skuru people.
Under the remote control of the Skuru people, these monsters formed groups.
The defensive and power-oriented monsters specifically targeted Japan’s industrial facilities, oil tanks, and warehouses;
The magic-oriented monsters penetrated deeply into the city. Under the cover of their wide-range spells, buildings crumbled like tofu dregs;
The flying Warcraft took advantage of their speed to raid Japanese military bases, airports, and ports.
Upon receiving the news, the government officials in Japan’s war zones hurriedly fled by private plane.
But in the face of a large number of flying Warcraft’s blocking and interception, only a few managed to escape. Most of them were shot down by flying Warcraft before they could even leave their homeland.
However, Japan’s Prime Minister Fujiwara Chika was extremely lucky.
At the time of the incident, she was not in Japan but was visiting Goryeo in the southwest.
Upon seeing such desperate news from her homeland, she quickly appealed for help to the world in her capacity as the cabinet prime minister.
…
…
The scene shifts back home.
Just as the “Gravitational Funnel” was forming, Su Yu, Cat Morning Star, and Elder Tao all simultaneously looked towards the northeastern sky, their expressions instantly darkening.
Although Zhong Feng was already at a fourth level strength, his abilities were still insufficient to let him feel the earth-shattering changes in the distance.
So he asked: “Su Yu, Elder Tao, what’s happened?”
“A ‘Gravitational Funnel’, a Gravitational Funnel has opened.” Elder Tao’s face was extremely somber.
“‘Gravitational Funnel’? Where has the ‘Gravitational Funnel’ appeared?” Commissioner Zhang exclaimed.
“In Japan, right in Japan’s largest city – Kyoto.” Su Yu answered.
“In Kyoto of all places…”
Everyone in the room was momentarily speechless. They had made guesses, but none of them had predicted it would happen in Kyoto.
Not long after, Chairman Hu Jing received an information stream from Japan.
The Chairman transferred the authority of the information stream to Wen Li, who immediately used the information stream to decode real-time images of the current situation in Japan and projected them on the screen.
Su Yu and the others quickly looked at the video screen.
As seen in the video, a “sky-covering” swarm of monsters was wreaking havoc in the city. The actual situation in Kyoto had turned into a living hell.
Japan ranks among the top economies worldwide, but in terms of military power, it lags far behind.
This massive swarm of monsters directly broke through Japan’s defenses, leaving them with no ability to fight back.
In fact, regardless of Japan, if such a large swarm of monsters fell in Huaxia’s central city of Huaxia Nation, it would not be possible to withstand. Even if it were possible to eliminate the entire swarm, it would be severely damaged, let alone in Japan.
…
Looking at the tragedy happening in Japan, the room was unimaginably heavy.
After about half a minute, Chairman Hu Jing spoke first: “Prime Minister Fujiwara Chika of Japan has already sent me a plea for help. How should we assist?”
Commissioner Zhang shook his head, leaned back weakly in his chair, and said slowly: “Mr. Chairman, in actuality, this isn’t something that can just be helped if we want to.”
“If we send a carrier group over, the odds are high that it will end up buried there without achieving any military results, let alone rescue the people of Japan.”
“Ironically, all we can do is to stand firm on the coasts of Shandong and Jiangsu. We are truly helpless in the face of what is happening across the sea.”
Chairman Hu Jing turned his head to look at Su Yu.
Su Yu also nodded and said, “I agree with Commissioner Zhang. The only thing we can do is to protect our home. We are simply incapable of launching an external counter-attack.”
However, Chairman Hu Jing shook his head: “But I know all of this, and I am also clear about the cards we have in our hands. But we must try to save them, even if we can’t truly help, we must at least put on the appearance of doing so. Do you understand? Otherwise, it would be a huge hit to our human unity”
