Chapter 198 88: At least I'm still alive
Bai Shihang still underestimated the temptation of the treasures and wishes he made up.

Even the big families knew that wishes were limited and it was impossible to fulfill unreliable wishes.

But this is a great opportunity to get closer to the Holy Child, and who knows the limits of wishes.

More importantly, if you can’t get it yourself, you can’t let others get it either.

Because you don’t know what kind of wish the other party will make, and whether the interests and even the survival of your family will be destroyed under this wish.

Anyway, to realize the wish, you need the heads of three of the faker's subordinates. As long as you take one, the other party will be helpless. This is very important.

"Hah!"

The puppy swung its tail suddenly, sweeping away a large piece of lava from Ito. The hot lava rain spread across the earth like meteors.

Ito was not affected at all and increased the firepower. The magma inside the flaming body seemed to become more viscous. He pounced on the puppy, leaving the magma completely on its body surface, forming a suit of magma armor.

The puppy was scalded to a medium-cooked state and rolled around in the mud like a wild boar, trying to get rid of the magma on its body. There was a huge earthquake and the ground sank by several centimeters.

Seeing that it was working, Ito pressed on step by step, never giving the dog a chance to relax, and forced the opponent back to the beach along the same path he came from.

But just as they approached the ocean, they heard a sound like the ocean was boiling, as if some terrifying giant was quickly breaking through the surface of the sea - then, a large shadow quickly covered the two fighting giant monsters.

Ito looked up and felt a little dazed for a moment.

A pillar that reaches the sky rises from the sea. Its hundreds of meters high completely crushes the fire giant and the puppy that are only tens of meters tall. Under the backlight of the sun, it seems as dark as the projected shadows, full of distortion and weirdness.

".Is this your mother?"

Ito's arrogance was reduced by three points. As expected, body size suppression is the most primitive suppression.

The puppy retreated cautiously, with wounds all over its body.

Without saying a word, the huge tentacle swung down directly. The loud bang that seemed to destroy the world made people witness the spectacle of a meteorite impact, as if the whole Tokyo shook three times.

The huge shock wave was like a sandstorm, sweeping across half of Tokyo.

Afterwards, the tentacles slowly retracted into the sea, but the earth, which had been tortured repeatedly, was shaved off another layer of mud and rocks, as if a big hole had been dug out. A large amount of sea water poured in frantically along the channel created by the tentacles. It would not be long before this place would become part of the sea.

People's dull eyes struggled to regain their spirits, their throats dry, only to find that the two super monsters who had just been fighting fiercely had disappeared.

Where are you guys? Were you flattened?

All parties had prepared for a fierce battle, but they didn't expect that they were prepared for nothing and ended up being the losers.

The only consolation might be that the monster probably didn't know about exchanging wishes and treasures, so they could continue searching in the water.

But where did such a huge and terrifying beast come from?

"Commander, the mines have been detonated, but we still haven't detected any traces of the octopus monster. Do we need to send out a fleet to track it?"

"Track for twenty nautical miles. Any use of force is prohibited." Ricky gave a face-saving order.

In this way, at least from a procedural point of view, he did send out pursuers and did not let the other party leave directly.

Looking at the completely unrecognizable city on the screen, Ricky could not get rid of the shock in his eyes: "This kind of power must be completely mythical creatures, right? Where do they come from?"

Amei, the President regretfully had the nuclear briefcase put away and did not move up the opponent's ranking. He felt a little regretful, but considering the disaster-stricken situation in Japan, the next opportunity to throw it should not be far away.

seabed.

Ito could no longer maintain the form of a fire giant and could only stay alive underwater by relying on the raging waves.

At this moment, he was being held in the puppy's hand, and its eyes were full of a desire for revenge. It glanced at Ito from time to time, giving him a bad feeling.

However, given the current situation, one doesn’t need to have a premonition to know that things are going to get bad.

Moreover, his treasure, the Golden-mouthed Jade Toad, had been taken away by the tentacles without his knowledge.

"I hope I don't die in a very ugly way." With the mentality that he was going to die anyway, Ito's mind began to race.

On the puppy's back, Xiao Ke was playing with the golden-mouthed jade toad that he had snatched from Ito, and couldn't let it go.

It seems to have a special sense of smell for these treasure-like things, and it loves them extremely and has a strong possessiveness.

But alas, this thing is not made for it.

Bai Shihang's mind moved, and golden light shone from the eyes of the Golden Mouth Jade Toad, as if it came alive. It croaked, and slipped away from Xiao Ke's tentacles, leaving behind a series of bubbles, and its body disappeared almost instantly.

Xiao Ke fished it out twice in a daze before realizing that this was not an illusion.

Gone! The treasure I got ran away by itself!

Angry!

Or is there anyone nearby?

Who stole my baby!
The puppy below felt Xiao Ke's anger, and immediately straightened its expression, which had been threatening Ito with its eyes, and swam forward with a serious face, fulfilling its duty as a driver.

The angry Xiao Ke searched for his treasure for a long time but couldn't find it. In a rage, he stretched out a dozen giant tentacles out of the sea and slapped them around. All the passing sea turtles were hit by them, and a large number of fish were knocked unconscious by the rolling sea water, and their bellies turned up.

"Retreat! Retreat!!"

The destroyer Amei, which was already following tremblingly behind, was so frightened by the indescribable strange scene in front of it that it immediately made a sharp turn and ran back to Tokyo Bay at an overloaded speed.

At that speed, the Self-Defense Force fleet responsible for assisting from behind couldn't even catch up with its shadow.

After venting, Xiao Ke calmed down a little. The puppy under him swam as fast as it could, fearing that the boss would beat it for some reason. After all, it was not a masochist.

The ocean gradually deepened, and their target was the large island in the south.

There, Xiao Ke's followers have initially established a foothold, controlled several villages, and steadily expanded their territory in areas where information exchange is inconvenient.

Perhaps soon, the second extraordinary kingdom will be born on this planet.

Tokyo.

The ground was devastated, thick smoke billowed, and from time to time, firefighting missiles fell, raising large clouds of dust.

The survivors crawled out from everywhere, their eyes filled with the bewilderment of the three philosophical questions, as if they had become zombies, letting the drifting dust cover their already dusty cheeks, completely unaware of where to go next.

Come back home?

Not to mention whether my home is still there, even if it is, it has become an ocean now. If I want to go back, I can only become a kappa.

Ogawa Ayami sat under a green tree, looking at the sky filled with gray haze, silent.

"Sir!" Miyamoto on the side suddenly saluted.

Ogawa moved his gaze and saw a woman walking towards him. She looked very familiar and seemed to be one of the three special events that had appeared in the media.

"Ms. Xiaochuan, for your safety, you will be included in our protection system for a period of time in the future, and the relevant loss of work will be paid at 1.5 times your current monthly salary. Please cooperate."

Ogawa knew that he had no right to refuse to cooperate. In this case, he might as well give up the pointless resistance and ask the question that concerned him: "Excuse me. Is Ito still alive?"

Takashima shook his head: "I don't know. Only Ito knows the answer to this question now."

"Is that so?" Ogawa lowered his head and clenched his fists.

The crying sound lingered over the ruins. A group of crows circled in the air like messengers from the underworld, uttering neither sad nor happy cries as a eulogy.

People can only use universal sentences to comfort each other.

"At least we're still alive."

This is true. For some people, not even a single hair can be found, and they have completely returned to the earth.

Not only the people in Shinagawa District, but the whole of Tokyo and even Japan can feel unprecedented fear from these successive disasters. Even if they are stupid, they have discovered the pattern. From the beginning, the extraordinary disasters only damaged a few buildings and a few blocks, and then escalated step by step to the current behemoth where the entire area is almost dug up and the sea is created.

If things continue like this, will the entire Tokyo be razed to the ground next time?!
Amaterasu, has Japan fallen into some anime dimension?
The fear of the unknown has also given rise to people's anger. Since they cannot target the unknown, they can only use the authorities as a target and use angry accusations to ease the lingering chill and fear in their hearts.

Constantly attacking the government and the Special Affairs Bureau for inaction and waste of tax money.

But now the authorities are unable to take care of themselves. Shinagawa District has been completely paralyzed, and there are still large areas of ruins where there may be survivors, and emergency rescue is needed.

After calculating the cost of reconstruction, the Prime Minister was overwhelmed by the exaggerated figures and began to publicly ask for assistance from the international community, promising to share all data on the attack unconditionally.

Soon, a large number of countries responded immediately, saying they felt obliged to do so for the sake of humanitarianism and the solidarity of all mankind.

But it will take some time to raise relief supplies, and they hope to send an advance team to serve the victims first.

Then the embassies looked at the list and found that it was full of scientists doing various research! What kind of service is this! Aren’t you just thinking about researching the battlefield?
A certain major country even said that it could use its own aircraft carrier as a cargo platform to urgently deliver some emergency food, and that it would send a fleet to protect its people.

That’s right, this country is India.

Although Ami is somewhat dissatisfied, they are now also caught up in the war and are unwilling to bear too much of Japan's recovery construction. It would be a good thing if other countries could share some of the burden.

Anyway, this kind of extraordinary monster is indeed the public enemy of mankind, and it is not unacceptable for Japan to share this information in exchange for aid.

Just like they had shared some information about the octopus monster with the public before, although the main purpose at that time was to maximize the benefits of publicity since it could not be concealed at all.

".From the situation in all aspects, it can be seen that supernatural activities are becoming more and more frequent. Once we get stuck in a quagmire war, it may have a great impact on our strategy. In view of this, I think it is not easy to go to war with Lord Wolf now, but it is not appropriate to resort to negotiation. Instead, we should implement a tacit ceasefire line without agreement."

Ricky is reporting to the commander-in-chief on the details of the lizard monster incident in Shinagawa District, and expresses his opinion on the commander-in-chief's proposal to conduct a comprehensive investigation into the Wolf Lord.

The commander-in-chief nodded expressionlessly.

Although Ricky's views are the same as those of many big families, the fact that they did not agree on a ceasefire shows that they are not on the same path, but their views are more conservative.

Among that group of families, apart from a part that the commander-in-chief won over with benefits, many of the rest have explicitly or implicitly expressed their hope to formally recognize the existence of the Natural Kingdom for the sake of precious peace. Haha, everyone knows what a good idea they have.

"I'll have to trouble you with things over there. There may be a lot of foreigners in there recently. Tell them to stay rational and not do anything they will regret later."

"I understand."

After turning off the communication, the commander-in-chief stared at the screen in silence for a while and made an internal call.

"William, come in for a moment."

After a while, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in."

William walked in, closed the door gently, and came to the commander-in-chief: "Sir, what do you want me to do?"

"How much do you know about Ricky?" the commander-in-chief asked directly.

William's heart skipped a beat, and a standard smile appeared on his face: "As my superior, Lieutenant General Ricky has given me a lot of help in life. From what my father said and my own understanding, I think Lieutenant General Ricky is a serious but not old-fashioned man at work, and a frugal and interesting man in life."

The commander-in-chief nodded slightly. He knew all this. "If I plan to completely eliminate the Wolf Lord, what do you think?"

Did Ricky predict that the commander-in-chief would ask him this question? William thought to himself. Or did Ricky guide the commander-in-chief to ask him this question?

So Ricky is worried that he will show that he is in favor of war. If he also advocates war, it will cause the commander-in-chief to suspect that he is also Ricky's man.

After observing for these few days, he felt that Jaden in the new extraordinary was Ricky's eyes. After all, Jaden was apparently Ricky's confidant.

After pretending to think for a while, William said cautiously: "I wonder what the generals or think tanks think?"

"Don't worry about them, just do your thing." The commander-in-chief waved his hand.

William had no choice but to smile helplessly: "From the perspective of all mankind, I think we and Lord Wolf are irreconcilable; but from the perspective of ordinary people and families, I think it's okay to preserve the Kingdom of Nature."

"But many people will subconsciously overlook an important factor, which is the issue of legitimacy. On this planet, once the first alien is established and we take the initiative to acknowledge its legitimacy, then with the current frequency of extraordinary people appearing, will the second and third ones be far behind? By that time, whether this planet will still be ruled by humans will be questionable."

In fact, William knew that the commander-in-chief was a man with strong opinions. When he asked questions, most people already had their own ideas in their hearts.

Moreover, it is not difficult to see from the commander-in-chief's past that he wants to fight. William is just following his words and, by the way, fulfilling Ricky's original instructions.

America may be about to usher in a long-awaited domestic continental war.
