Chapter 1602

Japan War Zone, Hokkaido.

Inside the hollow underground space, packed like rats, the survivors hiding underground fervently watched the woman at the front.

Before a middle-aged woman in a white robe, a bewitching, dazzling ball of light, like a source of power, continuously shone upon the Awakened Ones.

"Remember! This is Amaterasu bestowing power upon you!"

"The gods have given us guidance! To restore our former glory, we must reclaim everything that is ours!"

"Use the blood and souls of those Chinese people as an offering to the gods!"

"The more we sacrifice, the greater the power we will gain!"

In the light's glow, the woman's expression was somewhat deranged.

She violently grabbed an Asian-faced youth with one hand and shoved him beneath the light ball onto the execution platform.

With a crack, the axe stained with flesh and blood easily severed the youth's head.

As the youth died, a faint milky-white mist was instantly absorbed by the light ball.

On the right side of the underground space, the many captured Huaxia survivors looked on in despair and fear at the woman and the ongoing ceremony.

At the woman's feet, heads were piled high.

Thick blood flowed across the ground, yet the Japan War Zone survivors kneeling below showed no fear, merely licking the blood on the ground with fervent eyes.

It seemed that the blood of their own kind was the sweetest juice, a source of power.

Everyone craned their necks, hoping that Amaterasu would call their name, making them the next lucky one to receive power.

"Kill! Hurry and kill them!"

"We will take back everything! Revenge!"

"Let these pigs die! They don't deserve power!"

The shouts echoed in the dim underground like a repeating curse.

The Huaxia survivors forcibly brought here mostly collapsed, trembling and weeping.

A minority who had power but were tightly controlled struggled desperately, their faces unwilling.

"You bunch of beasts!"

"We shouldn't have saved you! Scum! Beasts without humanity! Dogs can't change their eating habit...!!"

Among the captured Huaxia Awakened Ones, several three Fourth Rank Awakened Ones now had eyes full of regret and self-blame.

It seemed they hated, hated themselves for being soft-hearted and still treating this group of Japanese survivors as humans!

Since the end of the confrontation, the Awakened Ones forces in the homeland of the Japanese theater have almost been wiped out.

In the confrontation, casualties were heavy, and they forcibly created many Supernatural Incidents; it can be said that the entire Japanese theater's major alliances and authorities almost collapsed.

Numerous out-of-control Supernatural Incidents and monsters ravaged the entire theater.

In an extremely short time, the whole country fell.

Safe Zones were breached one after another; under the mentality of breaking the cauldrons and sinking the boats, forcibly increasing strength, the final failure was something the Japanese authorities could not bear.

No military, no high Fourth Rank.

From then on, survivors in the Japanese theater could only scatter and flee like homeless dogs, with over seventy percent of the population dying in large numbers in a short time.

At the same time.

And as Huaxia survivors stranded in the Japanese theater unexpectedly discovered, they had actually become the only surviving combat force within Japan.

Originally, the two sides merely had mutual hostility, checking each other in some regions, and they were still at a disadvantage.

But after the death of all of Japan's high Fourth Rank forces, they instead became the hope of all survivors.

Watching the Japanese masses weeping under monster pursuits and corpse tides, many Huaxia Awakened Ones felt compassion and simply chose to reach out and rescue.

After all, at the time, everyone was human; no one could bear to watch their own kind die miserably before them without feeling anything.

Especially, the Japanese theater no longer had any high Fourth Rank forces; in the eyes of the Huaxia Awakened Ones at that time, they didn't have to worry about the other side biting back.

With a mindset of humanitarianism and compassion.

Originally just six Safe Zones where Chinese gathered, in an extremely short time they absorbed a large number of fleeing Japanese survivors.

At first relations were fairly harmonious; relying on Huaxia Awakened Ones to resist monsters, the fleeing Japanese theater survivors all respectfully curried favor and worked hard.

Furthermore, some even proposed to join the Huaxia theater, pleading with Hua Guo authorities to intervene and rescue.

After all, the survival environment in Japan's homeland was truly too harsh.

Under such circumstances, Huaxia Safe Zone's high Fourth Rank Awakened Ones were all moved; with many survivors' Japanese High Level currying favor, they also thought this might be a good thing.

They, too, wanted to return to the mainland.

If they could quell the age-old grudge, and the other side truly wished to surrender and merge, in a sense it would be worthy of being recorded in history.

From a certain perspective, Hua Guo people inherently have a kingly-way complex.

Compared to exterminating enemies completely, Huaxia civilization inherently leans more toward absorption and integration, embracing all.

But no one expected that, after a few days ago when several super-powerful individuals suddenly appeared among Japanese survivors, the nightmare began.

First, a false report of a Supernatural Incident outbreak led to the transfer away of Chinese high Fourth Rank personnel.

Subsequently, a large number of Japanese Awakened Ones inside the Safe Zone, under the leadership of those several super-powerful individuals, directly assaulted the Chinese High Level and, in an extremely short time, took control of the entire Safe Zone.

Afterward, it became an inhumane sacrificial ritual, resembling a cult's ceremony.

"You saved us?"

"Wolf heart, dog lungs?"

On the ritual platform, the woman wearing a ghost mask sneered, looking at the Chinese three Fourth Rank who were cursing themselves as if they were pigs and dogs.

Their eyes were full of mockery and contempt.

"You Chinese pigs, do you even deserve to say you saved us?"

We merely temporarily lost our strength, letting you this bunch of lowly pig and dog contribute your trivial strength.

Drag him over!

Use the blood of this Chinese pig as an offering to the gods!

As the words fell, the woman eagerly touched the card on her chest, her eyes filled with desire and fervor.

They will come back to kill!

The gods will never abandon them!

Let the blood-red sun flag rise again over that land!
