Chapter 925: Chapter 40: I Pretend Not to See as I Play Along with Your Act

Destroy... this world?!

The words of the Unparalleled Demoness were as cold as a piercing north wind.

As cold as a knife, it swept across the planet’s surface in an instant, as if to freeze all life, clearly and unmistakably entering the ears of everyone in this world.

And there’s no need to consider the problem of different languages because the power beyond common sense easily allowed all listeners to instinctively understand the "message" they received. The voice seemed to strike the spirit, resonating with the soul’s frequency, making everyone feel as if they were hearing their own most familiar native language, echoing in their mind.

There would be no difficulty in understanding this, nor any possibility of misunderstanding.

Because this "message" seemed to be forcibly stuffed into their minds.

However—

Precisely because there would be no difficulty in understanding, and the accurate information was received clearly and unmistakably, many people’s expressions changed drastically once they realized what was happening.

Especially those related to the Mind Industry, as well as the relevant heads of each country, they knew the inside story, knew what was happening, and understood its serious consequences — because the "setting" was exactly this, the altered world line entered into such an IF line development.

Root of Evil Spirits!

Nine-tailed revival!

Once returned, it’s the end of the world!

This was something they had long known, but even for them, it was always a very distant, very distant concept, so distant that it seemed somewhat unreal, like those who had always lived in a time of peace’s understanding of the term "war."

— Everyone thought they understood the concept of war very well, but in the end, it was just what they thought; they couldn’t deeply comprehend the true terror of war.

— It always felt as if war was very far away, that they’d probably never see it happen in their lifetime, yet when it occurred, it was so sudden.

Perhaps it is just like this. Although in the Mind Industry it has always been the oldest legend, only part of a story for thousands of years, today in the blink of an eye it became a reality. Nothing was more frightening than this; facing such a sudden development made many people break out in a cold sweat.

"Attack! Launch an attack immediately!"

"But, but... a lot of people are watching..."

"Fool! At a time like this, you still think you can keep it hidden?!"

"Besides, even if we don’t act, do you think this Evil Spirit won’t make a move!!"

Not everyone was in a daze; some people reacted quickly, decisively issuing orders. Even though there was no such emergency plan, they couldn’t do nothing. After all, the Human World wasn’t without corresponding military force.

Even if it was just for dealing with the worst-case scenario of high-level Evil Spirits causing chaos, prepared to cope with out-of-control level-one-alert situations, some of those preparations should at least be able to play a role, right?!

Thus—

Under such a series of emergency orders.

The nearest military bases quickly went into operation, and the whimsical U.S. soldiers temporarily had new legitimate tasks to attend to.

At this moment!

Satellites in the sky changed their orbits one after another, and fighter jets began to take off one by one!

And it wasn’t just here; all countries were responding as quickly as possible.

In this modified world line, those who had formed deep cooperation with the Demon Exorcist group were fully aware of the severity of this incident.

So then—

They could only fight! Fight hard!

They all knew of the existence of Evil Spirits, understanding this was absolutely irreconcilable with the living, another kind of race in a certain sense. Though they transformed from deceased humans... but liken it to vampires or zombies, and then you can understand—

They were once human, now they were another kind of monster.

In any case, they couldn’t be kind-hearted in this respect, and even more so couldn’t retreat in the slightest. Otherwise, it would only be like in zombie movies, facing monsters turned into zombies but still hesitating or unwilling to act, ultimately harming themselves!

...

...

However, those who reacted were only a minority.

More were ordinary people, who didn’t even understand what was happening. They didn’t know what that enormous ominous scarlet light that split the sky meant, nor understood the sudden earthquake, and even more so, what the appearance of the Nine-tailed Demoness under that scarlet sky meant.

Everything was so magical, giving them an unusually intense sense of unreality.

It must be a dream!

It must be a dream! The bewildering feeling grew stronger, and the boundary of reality seemed to become blurred and illusory... Many people, with a dazed expression, rubbed their eyes vigorously, incredulously looking at the sky, and then rubbed their eyes again firmly.

Or pinched themselves hard...

Ow! It really didn’t hurt! So it must be a dream!

In reality, they were just dazed now, because of the excessive information shock they received, and having just been indiscriminately charmed again, their brains and perceptions were completely dulled. The weakening of their pain nerves probably went above eighty percent, so pinching themselves hard was almost unnoticeable.

At this moment.

Who knows how many people were just staring up with a face full of shock, looking blankly at the absolutely beautiful figure in the sky, grinning foolishly.

Even though it was just a dream, this dream was too real. Being able to see such a beautiful scene, they felt reluctant to wake up... The blood-red sky seemed to be burning, like a sunset on fire, or like those nine tails covered the sky.

And that beautiful figure gazed down upon the earth, her expression icy cold.

Behind her was a giant nine-tailed figure, gently moving up and down, its terrifying magnitude and size likened to a thousand-mile cloud band on a satellite map, sweeping across, yet resembling a kind of projected phenomenon, both exquisite and somewhat indistinct.

Too dreamlike, too surreal.

However, since it’s a dream, nothing happening would be strange, everyone subconsciously thinks so drowsily, the fear and shock felt from the earthquake and sky change, swiftly settled unknowingly.

Until—

The missiles howling from afar!

Boom!

Boom!! Boom Boom!!

Successive huge explosions erupted, guided with precise direction, almost no missile malfunctioned or failed, all accurately hit the target.

The fiery trails they dragged tore through the atmosphere, modern high-tech weaponry drawing death spirals, crashing into the target, blossoming into deadly fireworks in the sky! The flames bloomed under the blood-red sky, illuminating an area!

"..."

"..."

Brief silence.

When everything ceased, the smoke cleared, the silhouette of the Unparalleled Demoness still quietly suspended in the sky.

Her expression unchanged, her gaze unchanged, without even glancing towards the direction of the incoming attack as if entirely indifferent to what happened, her attention absolutely elsewhere. She now cares not for other things, how could she focus on such feeble noises?

Rather, she entirely concentrated her attention on other matters, outwardly appearing inexplicably icy, while inwardly fiercely gnawing her little tiger teeth, gritting them, thinking through some crucial matters...

These matters were so important that she focused all her attention, displaying astonishing disregard for other aspects.

These slight fireworks were less than a breeze blowing—

She might even completely overlook being bombed now.

Just continuing to gaze coldly into the distance, using an "extra fierce" expression to convey her dissatisfaction, then finding someone completely unreflective, still reaching out amidst the recent tremor to steady the shoulder of the "Witch" she was wary of...

Miss Fox Spirit’s mood suddenly turned foul.

Dissatisfaction!

Resentment!

Fury!!

Miss Fox Spirit took a deep breath, perhaps recalling earlier vexing matters, even though the recent matter concerning the illegitimate daughter had just passed, she began anew... so detestable, unfaithful, cheating, always late for dates, the fox sees through it all!

But again with the outgoing fist, or execution cannon?

Does it really have any effect?

The increasingly vexed Miss Fox Spirit, gnashing her teeth hard, her gaze crossing space, saw the black-haired youth in white with a strange expression, eyebrows twitching, he sent a subtle look of inquiry over.

"Haha..."

Showing a cold smile of anger, Miss Fox Spirit squinted her eyes, offering no response, just pretending not to see the Master’s expression, meanwhile having an idea.

This body is merely a Divine Spirit descent, but having swallowed all the evil spirits from half the planet in this Dungeon World, forming a Spirit Base, it naturally boasts considerable "quality," enough to support her Divine Spirit exhibiting power not inferior to a Beast’s embryo.

Just like every cell of the Master undergoing nuclear fusion, continually burning, releasing massive energy, naturally able to support the greatest Divine Spirit—

And raise the power limit of the manifestation to a frightful extent.

Eyes swiveling, Miss Fox Spirit entirely ignored the Master’s continuous hints and signals, she had a new idea, in her annoyance, not intending to cooperate with the other’s script. She lowered her head, her expression veiled by the shadow of her bangs.

The Nine-tailed Pangpang flickered behind her, then...

Suddenly, all tails fell!

Once again, they fiercely struck the earth!

...

...

Boom!!

Another earth-shaking scene, yet this time the commotion quickly came and went.

Yatsugaya Miko, having just found her footing, stumbled again losing balance, she exclaimed fearfully: "Is she... is she really going to destroy the world?"

"... It seems so..."

Gu Mo tugged at the corner of his mouth, thinking it might indeed be the case. After all, just one tail’s phenomenon fell from above, sweeping everything, possessing the power of overturning mountains and seas, directly triggering a local earthquake. Now with nine tails falling simultaneously, it only caused this kind of disturbance.

This is naturally not thunderous without rain, but all power centered at one point, reaching an apex.

Through the connection with the magnetic field of the planet beneath his feet, he sensed what was happening—

The Earth was responding to Miss Fox Spirit’s movements, beginning to brew a massive catastrophe.
