Chapter 24: Main Quest Issued

"Newspaper, new newspapers!" A childish voice rang out on the street, accompanied by the crisp sound of bells.

"What the hell are you doing in front! Can't you drive!" An angry driver stuck his head out the car window and cursed loudly at the vehicle ahead.

A noisy sound entered Uchiha Fugaku's ears, his consciousness gradually clearing as he slowly opened his eyes, but the next moment, the sight before his eyes left him stunned.

"Where is this?" Fugaku muttered to himself, disbelief filling his eyes. He looked around and found himself standing on a strange street.

Along both sides of the street, towering buildings stood like a forest, each embedded with countless panes of glass that sparkled in the sunlight. Such luxurious and magnificent buildings could not be compared to any daimyo residence he had ever seen.

Crowds of people flowed endlessly between them, their clothing and appearance completely different from the ninja world he knew.

"Genjutsu?" Uchiha Fugaku's eyes narrowed, his eyes instantly turning blood-red, three Magatama appearing on them.

Chakra fluctuations spread around him, but the scene before his eyes remained unchanged, everything seeming so real, without a trace of genjutsu.

He stared fixedly at his hands, clenching and releasing them tightly, his nails almost digging into his palms, but the pain felt so real that he had to believe all this was not illusory.

At this moment, Fugaku suddenly recalled that inexplicable mechanical voice that had resounded in his mind earlier.

"Have I really come to another world?! Is what that voice said true!" His heart trembled, but this completely strange world before him seemed to be proving the truth of that voice.

At this moment, a silver-gray sedan suddenly sped past him, bringing a strong gust of wind.

Uchiha Fugaku instinctively dodged to the side, widening his eyes as he watched the sedan speed away, leaving only dust flying behind.

"This car, it doesn't need a horse to move on its own?" He muttered in disbelief, his voice full of astonishment.

In the Ninja World, the most common means of transportation was nothing more than horse-drawn carriages. And this kind of mechanical thing before him that needed no power yet could speed along like a Mercedes was simply inconceivable.

Just as Fugaku was lost in thought, a young woman walked toward him, wearing a tight short top that exposed her flat abdomen, and shorts almost like underwear below, outlining her long legs.

Uchiha Fugaku couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air. In his understanding, how could women dress so revealingly? This simply violated etiquette and harmed morality! One or two might be understandable, but now almost half of the women were dressed like this.

Suddenly, a huge broadcast voice rang out, attracting Fugaku's attention.

Uchiha Fugaku looked in the direction of the sound and saw that on a towering skyscraper not far away, a huge screen was flashing with light.

On the screen, a host in a suit was solemnly announcing the latest news.

"According to the latest news, the Great Wall surrounding our city is about to be completed. This magnificent project will provide us with unprecedented safety and protection."

"This barrier will block all threats from the outside world, ensuring our city is free from disturbance. With it, we can live and work in peace on this safe land, living carefree lives."

And at the moment he heard the other party speaking, Uchiha Fugaku was stunned. What the other party said was completely different from the Ninja World, but the moment the other party opened his mouth, he could actually understand the meaning directly.

"Is this also the so-called ability of the Main God?"

Just as Fugaku was thinking, a pedestrian walked toward him. He instinctively dodged to the side, but unexpectedly that person passed straight through his body, as if he were merely a wisp of insubstantial air.

"This!" Fugaku couldn't believe his eyes. He reached out to touch the person beside him, but his fingertip directly penetrated the body, with no sense of substance at all.

It was only now that he discovered his whole body was enveloped in a layer of lustrous radiance, isolating him from everything around him.

Just as Fugaku was struggling to digest all this, in an instant, a virtual screen appeared out of thin air, hovering before his eyes. 【World: Pacific Rim】

【Level: Level 5】

【World Information: Earth is suffering invasion by giant beasts called "Kaiju". These beasts come to Earth through wormholes in the deep sea, leaving cities in ruins wherever they go. To contend with the powerful beasts, humanity invented giant robots called "Jaeger" to fight them. Currently the wormholes still exist, the beasts continue to invade endlessly, and the battle between humanity and beasts continues.】

【Warning: Prohibition on revealing any information related to the Main God Space, otherwise you will be permanently stranded in that Reincarnation World.】

The warning was specially marked in striking red, as glaring as fresh blood.

"Permanent Stay?" Uchiha Fugaku's heart gave a violent jolt upon seeing this.

Could it be that if he revealed the existence of the Main God Space, he could never return to his original world? The figures of Mikoto and Itachi flashed through Fugaku's mind.

"No matter what happens, I must find a way back." Fugaku's eyes turned sharp.

He took a deep breath, forcing himself to continue reading the content on the screen.

【Main Quest: Destroy the Wormhole】

【Difficulty A】

【Task Content: Find the location of the Deep Sea Wormhole, destroy the wormhole, cut off the source of the beasts, and completely eliminate their threat.】

【Mission Reward: 2000 Reward Points】

【Time Limit: None】

Uchiha Fugaku stared fixedly at the mission information before him, his brow tightly furrowed, sinking into thought.

"If all this is true, then I can only return to the Ninja World after completing this so-called Main Quest." He thought to himself, his expression growing increasingly grave.

"Kaiju, wormhole, invasion of another world..." These terms kept swirling in his mind, sketching out one terrifying apocalyptic scene after another.

Uchiha Fugaku was still immersed in the massive amount of information, his mind in chaos. Suddenly, a cold mechanical voice resounded in his mind: 【Mission starting, 5, 4, 3】

As the last number fell, a strange sensation instantly enveloped Fugaku's entire body. He felt he was no longer an outsider, but truly and actually existed in this strange world.

However, Uchiha Fugaku's appearance immediately became the focus of the street. Pedestrians who had been hurrying past stopped one by one, looking at this strangely dressed man in amazement.

"Beep beep beep!"

A black sedan braked sharply behind Fugaku, its hood almost touching his back. The driver stuck his head out angrily and roared at Uchiha Fugaku: "Where did this lunatic come from, standing in the middle of the road zoning out!"

But Uchiha Fugaku at this moment had no time to pay attention to the commotion behind him. He stared unblinkingly at the huge wall by the seaside, his expression becoming extremely grave.

An unprecedented sense of crisis enveloped his heart, as if something terrifying was approaching, bringing a destructive threat.

Seeing that Fugaku had no reaction, the driver became even more furious and continued shouting loudly: "Are you deaf? Can't you speak? Look at what you're wearing, what a mess, are you cosplaying?"
