Chapter 198: An Extremely Brutal Otherworld Invasion
Of course, just one hundred thousand script points, wanting to recreate the gods, and manifest the Feathered Serpent God and God fighting until the starry sky shook and stars fell in swathes — that was impossible.
Apart from the palm strike that blasted apart the Mi Nation, and the initial walking corpses, everything else had only the momentum and aura, no actual power, all were the most realistic visual sensations, yet it still cost one hundred thousand script points.
"Six hundred thousand script points, should be enough for a while."
Kamikawa Mitsu was in a very good mood.
Creak.
Kamikawa Mitsu's bedroom door opened, he turned his head to look, and from outside the door peeked a small head — a delicate, lovely face, big sparkling eyes clear and flawless, curved into crescents, endearing.
"Nii-san, I've decided where I want to go play."
Kamikawa Chie's rosy cheeks had cute little dimples, her eyes blinking.
"Oh? Decided?" Kamikawa Mitsu looked at Kamikawa Chie at the doorway.
Having received compensation from the airline, a government reward, and compensation from Yamazaki Company, Kamikawa Mitsu had earlier made a decision to take Kamikawa Chie out to play during the winter break.
The other day, knowing Kamikawa Chie liked visiting famous historical sites, Kamikawa Mitsu had offered many destination options, such as Osaka Castle, Nara Prefecture, Okinawa, and so on — all places Kamikawa Chie liked.
But she suffered from choice paralysis and couldn't decide for the moment.
Yesterday Kamikawa Mitsu checked the time — winter break would arrive in another week — so he asked Kamikawa Chie if she'd decided, but she still hadn't, saying to give her one night to think and she'd decide where to go.
"I want to go to Mi Nation."
Kamikawa Chie said sweetly.
Kamikawa Mitsu was stunned, somewhat slow to react.
Mi Nation?? Could it be…
"Nii-san, I want to go see Lord Cimu's Crater." Kamikawa Chie blinked, little stars still twinkling in her eyes.
Lord Cimu's Crater refers precisely to the massive crater formed when Lord Cimu's palm obliterated the five great states of Mi Nation.
Now that the gods have returned and the deities reappeared, the world knows gods exist. Lord Cimu's Crater in Mi Nation is the only 'trace' of gods and demons in action that people can witness, so it naturally became a place many enthusiasts of gods and demons want to visit.
Kamikawa Chie, who likes things like yokai and shrine maidens, was naturally no exception, wanting to go see yokai and gods for herself.
"Nii-san, can we go?"
Seeing Kamikawa Mitsu spacing out, Kamikawa Chie grew anxious, afraid he wouldn't let her go.
"If Chie wants to go, then I'll take you. Coincidentally, plane tickets to Mi Nation have been very cheap lately."
"Wow! That's great, thank you, Nii-san!"
Kamikawa Chie flew into Kamikawa Mitsu's arms, brimming with happiness and joy.
Kamikawa Mitsu smiled, rubbed Kamikawa Chie's hair: "What thanks? I said I'd take you out to play. Anywhere you want to go is fine. It's late — have you finished your homework? If not, hurry up and finish it."
"Yes, sir, yes sir!" Kamikawa Chie stood up and saluted, bouncing away like a cheerful little sprite.
"This girl." Kamikawa Mitsu smiled and shook his head.
Immediately, he picked up his phone and opened it to look at news about Mi Nation.
When he saw one piece of news he paused, his gaze falling on the photo published with the news — a satellite image of Mi Nation, clearly showing a palm-shaped massive crater on Mi Nation's vast land.
Looking at the photo, Kamikawa Mitsu was somewhat lost in thought, murmuring:
"Don't blame me for killing you. You'd die sooner or later anyway. Better to die at a god's hand than at another world's — at least you'd die with dignity, not be slaughtered cruelly."
It turned out the reason Kamikawa Mitsu annihilated Mi Nation's five states was not for his own selfish gain of more script points by cruelly killing the people of five states — there was another reason.
When making this script, he had monitored Mi Nation, wanting to see if there were otherworld invasion channel nodes there, to avoid the situation where, halfway through the script, if anotherworld invasion occurred, he could respond in time.
For this script, Kamikawa Mitsu had prepared for a long time, making sure everything was foolproof, afraid of mishaps.
The result of the detection was that Mi Nation indeed had otherworld invasion channel nodes, and one of them showed signs of loosening — certainly the otherworld on the other side was invading, opening a channel to this side.
He checked and found the otherworld channel wouldn't be opened in the short term, but it would be sooner or later — either half a year later, or one year later.
Learning Mi Nation had an otherworld channel, Kamikawa Mitsu spent some script points to have the system detect what kind of world that otherworld was — brutal or harmonious.
The system detected that world… extremely brutal.
An extremely brutal otherworld invasion — the consequences could be foreseen, destined to be carnage.
That otherworld channel's location was right at the center point of the five states.
Kamikawa Mitsu was not bloodthirsty, but he wouldn't be so naive as to want to save all living beings. One must know that as time goes on, otherworld invasions will increase, especially since Japan, as the world's weakest barrier point, would suffer the most invasions.
What if?
What if, when that time came, Japan's and Mi Nation's otherworld invasions erupted simultaneously, and Kamikawa Mitsu couldn't handle both — he'd definitely have to choose which to save first, and the other could only be saved later. Japan was where he was reborn, and his sister's homeland, so Kamikawa Mitsu would naturally save Japan.
And choosing to save Japan meant Mi Nation might be invaded first, and the people of the five states around Mi Nation's otherworld channel would almost certainly be doomed.
There were also considerations of script points, strength, the strength and numbers of otherworld powerhouses, and so on — considering peak-level combat, it was impossible to constantly watch out for battle aftermath and the like.
Kamikawa Mitsu made his plan: at the location of Mi Nation's channel, clear out a vast unmanned zone as a buffer belt, intercept the enemies there, and avoid harming the innocent.
As long as no one was near the channel, Kamikawa Mitsu wouldn't need to hold back, and could employ many methods to fight the enemy with full force.
The true reason Kamikawa Mitsu annihilated Mi Nation's five states was the otherworld invasion.
Waving away the thoughts in his mind, Kamikawa Mitsu put down his phone, planning to finish today's homework, then shower and sleep.
Ding-dong.
His phone rang.
Someone sent Kamikawa Mitsu a message via Line.
"At this hour, who's messaging me? Tsuchimikado-san? Or is it… as expected, it's her."
Kamikawa Mitsu recognized the other's Line avatar.
The one messaging him was Rie Katsu, whom he'd added at the maid café a few days ago.
【Kamikawa-kun, are you asleep? I finished watching that 'Rakshasa Street' you recommended — it was really good. Any other Hua Nation anime you'd recommend? Oh right, there's a new show recently, that 'Interspecies Reviewers' — have you seen it? It's so dirty, oh my god, facepalming. jpg】
Looking at the message, Kamikawa Mitsu skillfully replied.
【Finished Rakshasa Street? That fast? It's only been a day and a half. Did you stay up all night reading manga?
There are a lot of great anime in Hua Country — you could try *Fox Spirit Matchmaker* or *Spirit Blade Mountain*. I remember you used to like watching silly anime, so I'd suggest *100,000 Bad Jokes*. I haven't watched any of the new shows yet, no time — final exams are coming up soon.】
