Infinite Terror: This Middle Continent is Rebellious

Chapter 252: Grand Sacrifice, the Eve of Destruction
The president, who was somewhat hesitant, became excited after hearing Lieutenant General Gary's words.

"Yes, we will make America great again, we will make America great again!"

If he can make America great again before the end of his term, his fame and status will surpass those of Washington and Lincoln, and he will have no problem serving as president for several more terms.

““““Make America great again!””””

The officials stood up one after another, raised their right hands high, and shouted slogans loudly. They looked at each other and could see the determination in each other's eyes.

Whether America can become great again is very important, but what is more important is that the two spell tools that can summon hundreds of thousands of soldiers must never appear in the hands of foreigners, especially not in the hands of America’s biggest rival.

The president pressed his palms together, asked everyone to sit down, and then asked Lieutenant General Gary, "Lieutenant General Gary, what are your plans for the next action?"

"According to surveillance footage, the Zhongzhou team can summon approximately 10 soldiers every hour. Their individual strength is comparable to one against a hundred. We also need to deal with the 50 sorcerers within the barrier. This operation will require at least regular troops."

Gary had witnessed Nozomi's strength, and had also seen the battles between the Tokai team, the Nakasu team, and the Maihama station from the surveillance, so he boldly said a number.

"Such a large-scale troop deployment cannot be ignored by the international community."

"That's right. We can't act alone without other countries. Once we take action, other countries unwilling to be outdone will follow suit, but they won't know our true purpose. I suggest calling on all countries to participate in this counter-terrorism operation."

"Anti-terrorist operation?"

"Yes, the sorcerers, dog-headed soldiers, and cursed spirits gathered in the ten barriers, these non-humans mutated by Japan's biochemical experiments, are our targets."

Lieutenant General Gary's eyes were fierce. He directly defined the action and plan and put all the blame on the Japanese government.

The politicians looked at each other, then nodded, thinking it was a good idea.

But will other countries believe it?
"Just share some of the profits. Are our scientists worse than those in other countries?"

"...Of course not."

"That's all. We can distribute the captured sorcerers in batches, or share the research results with other countries. Our country only needs to conceal the existence of the summoning bracelet."

The military and the government reached a consensus, and the House of Representatives and Congress quickly approved it. After the White House held a press conference, the armies of various countries were mobilized, causing turmoil in the international situation.

In the center of the storm, Tokyo, Japan, a group of people were walking hurriedly on the desolate streets.

Some of these people were dressed in suits and ties, some wore black hats and priest uniforms made of patterned fabrics, and some wore white tops and red hakama. Politicians, priests, shrine maidens, and guards, everyone had a solemn look on their faces, with uneasiness flickering in their eyes.

As I passed through the tall buildings, my pace gradually slowed down.

In front of them, there was a building that looked like a Japanese restaurant. It was of quite high standard and was not a place that ordinary people could come to.

However, the restaurant is now half gone, as if it had been chopped down by a giant with an axe. The walls and the second floor have been demolished, turning it into an open-air building.

However, there were still people cooking in this dilapidated restaurant.

A sturdy man with four eyes, wearing loose clothes, sat at the dining table with various meat dishes on it.

Not far from the man, a young man with a bob haircut, whose gender was indistinguishable, was working as a chef, cutting meat with an ice knife.

But! The food on the cutting board was a person! And it was a young woman!
"vomit!"

Seeing this scene, the witches' stomachs churned and they couldn't help vomiting.

The faces of the priests and politicians also turned very pale, and their legs were shaking.

They had heard of Ryomen Sukuna's reputation, knew that Ryomen Sukuna was the cursed king, and also heard that Ryomen Sukuna was a man-eating evil ghost.

However, when they actually saw Ryomen Sukuna eating a person, the visual impact made them realize what kind of ghost they were about to invite.

"Lord Sukuna, some tactless guys have arrived. Do you want me to take care of them?"

Upon noticing the visitors, Li Mei frowned and looked at the group of people with a critical eye, her gaze mainly focused on the priestesses.

A witch accidentally made eye contact with Rimei, and her hands and feet suddenly became cold and she couldn't breathe.

She discovered that the way the boy looked at her was clearly the way a chef looks at ingredients.

"No! No! I want to go home!"

The young witch's legs went limp and she collapsed to the ground, crawling backwards using her hands and feet. Her terrified expression made her pretty face lose its beauty and her gorgeous attire became dirty and messy.

The cries filled with fear made the team even more confused, and several witches lost their minds and turned to run away.

"Shut up! Don't be disrespectful in front of Lord Ryoumen Sukuna."

A fierce look flashed in the eyes of the leading witch, and she gave the guard a look.

The guard quickly pulled out his pistol and shot the fleeing witch to death.

Suddenly, the surrounding witches opened their eyes wide, with expressions of extreme fear on their faces.

They could never have imagined that they would lose their lives so carelessly while welcoming the gods.

"It's a bit interesting."

Ryomen Sukuna laughed with interest.

Rimei retracted her steps. Although Ryoumen Sukuna didn't say anything, she understood from his attitude that he allowed those people to approach.

"Saiou?"

Li Mei glanced at the leading shrine maiden and recognized her identity from her clothes and makeup.

The priestess who dared not move forward was shot dead, and the remaining priestess naturally did not dare to escape again, and ominous speculations arose in their hearts.

Ryomen Sukuna likes to eat women and children. The shrine headquarters asked these shrine maidens to accompany the priests to welcome Ryomen Sukuna. Could it be that they are planning to give them to Ryomen Sukuna?
In an instant, the witches looked ashen, and they felt as if their legs were tied with stone chains weighing hundreds of pounds, and they had to use all their strength to take a step.

When the group got closer, they heard Ryoumen Sukuna say, "You're raising your head too high."

The leading Saiou immediately knelt down, and the politicians also knelt down very skillfully. The priests and shrine maidens who knew how terrifying Ryomen Sukuna was also did not dare to neglect him.

However, when an invisible slash slashed through the air, several politicians who were too self-righteous and did not kneel down in time were beheaded, and red and white liquid splattered all over the people around them. Feeling the liquid falling on him, even the King couldn't help but tremble.

Ryoumen Sukuna rested his arm on the table, supporting his chin, and asked calmly, "Do you have something to say to me?"

The King placed his hands on the ground and kowtowed respectfully.

"We are here to welcome Sukuna-sama into the shrine. Sukuna-sama, please accept our worship, just as you did a thousand years ago."

The accompanying priests, shrine maidens, politicians, and guards also knocked their heads to the ground to show their utmost respect to Ryomen Sukuna.

This is the helplessness of the Prime Minister's residence.

In fact, the Prime Minister's Office and the Shrine Headquarters were still discussing how to enshrine Ryomen Sukuna. Who knew that the United States would suddenly form a coalition force and classify Japan's sorcerers, cursed spirits, and death soldiers as the products of out-of-control biochemical research.

In an emergency, the Prime Minister's Office had to make a quick choice and enshrine Ryomen Sukuna as soon as possible, borrowing Ryomen Sukuna's power to maintain their position in the future turmoil.

"Look, they're always like this. Before I defeat the strongest force, they call me a cannibal demon and want to expel me, seal me, and destroy me. After I defeat the strongest force, they worship me as a god and welcome me with great ceremony."

Ryoumen Sukuna sneered and turned to Rimei.

"Being arrogant at first and then being respectful later makes you laugh when you think about it."

Rimei said coldly, "The fact that these lowly mortals can recognize the greatness of Sukuna-sama is their only virtue."

The King of Sai, the Secretary, the Grand Priest and the others listened to the ridicule of Rimei and Ryomen Sukuna, but they did not even dare to raise their heads.

Ryoumen Sukuna ate a piece of sashimi and asked Saiou in a playful tone, "I was originally your god. Now you want to worship me as a god. Is it because you defined me as a demon before?"

Saiou said without a word, "How could it be? Lord Sukuna has always been our deity. I have only heard that Lord Sukuna has appeared in the world. I have come to invite Lord Sukuna to the shrine, to accept our offerings, and to participate in the national festival. This would surely be our supreme honor."

Ryoumen Sukuna thought for a moment and said nonchalantly, "A sacrifice... Sure, which shrine?"

Saiou was silent for two seconds. She bit her lip and said firmly, "It's Ise Jingu!"

Ryomen Sukuna opened his four eyes and looked at Saiou in surprise.

The main deity of Ise Grand Shrine is Amaterasu Omikami, the ancestor of the imperial family. The deity's body is the Yata Mirror, one of the three sacred treasures that symbolize imperial power. Both its status and symbolism are unique in Japan.

This woman is really brave enough to let a cursed king like him be worshipped in Ise Shrine.

"It's too far. I won't go. I have an appointment and won't be leaving Tokyo anytime soon."

Ryomen Sukuna shook his head.

The reason for not going was, on the one hand, as he said, he and Nozomi had an agreement that they would stay in Tokyo until the end of the Death and Extinction Journey to avoid any accidents.

The main task is to kill the strongest sorcerers after the victory or defeat of the sorcerers in the four major barriers of Tokyo, assist Nozomi to end the cycle of death and assimilate Tengen and Japan's 100 million humans.

On the other hand... in this world of reincarnation, Ryoumen Sukuna also has some concerns about whether the almighty gods really exist.

In order to prevent any accidents from happening and affecting Nozomi's plan, I decided not to go to Ise Jingu Shrine to receive the sacrifice. Although it would be very pleasant to think about it, I decided not to do it.

The chief priest of Ise Grand Shrine couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, a look of relief on his face.

If such a monster were allowed to enter the Ise Grand Shrine, he would definitely be nailed to the pillar of shame by Shintoism. Fortunately, Ryomen Sukuna did not accept the invitation.

"If you can't leave Tokyo... Izumo Shrine is in Shimane Prefecture, Fushimi Inari Taisha and Heian Shrine are in Kyoto, Atsuta Shrine is in Aichi Prefecture, and Meiji Shrine, although in Tokyo, is dedicated to Emperor Meiji, which is unworthy of your status..."

Saiou was a little embarrassed and quickly thought about which shrines and shrines in Japan could invite Ryomen Sukuna to receive worship.

At this time, the secretary said: "Yasukuni Shrine!"

The Saiou and the Grand Priest looked at the Prime Minister's secretary in surprise.

Saiou cursed in a low voice: "What are you talking about? Yasukuni Shrine? That place is too sensitive!"

"This is also what the Prime Minister meant. When choosing a shrine for Lord Sukuna, the Prime Minister mentioned the Yasukuni Shrine, hoping that Lord Sukuna could become our country's guardian deity, and..."

As he spoke, the secretary lowered his voice.

"The Prime Minister is considering making a protest to other countries. The Nakasu team's motives for coming to Japan are too impure. In addition, the international community is considering deploying coalition forces to our country. The Prime Minister hopes to show some emotion to other countries through some unacceptable things."

The secretary could not say in front of Ryomen Sukuna that the Prime Minister intended to use Ryomen Sukuna's power to fight against the international situation. If something went wrong, he could put the blame on Ryomen Sukuna and claim that it was because of the coercion of the evil ghost Ryomen Sukuna.

It was only because the scale of Yasukuni Shrine was not as good as that of Ise Grand Shrine that Japan was worried that Ryomen Sukuna would think that Japan was looking down on him, so it was finally decided to use Ise Grand Shrine.

Saiou was speechless and looked at Omiyaji in confusion.

"Team Nakasu? I don't know where those rats fled to after Gojo Satoru was defeated by me. Wen Lie, who defeated Gojo Satoru, is still sealed... If Wen Lie breaks the seal and finds that all his companions have died in Yasukuni Shrine, I might see some very interesting expressions."

Ryoumen Sukuna showed a malicious smile. It was indeed a bit boring to stay in Tokyo all the time. Those members of the Nakasu team might make him happy for a while.

The secretary said loudly, "Yes, we will hold the regular spring festival five days later... No, we will hold the Ryomen Sukuna Festival and designate that day as a festival to commemorate Sukuna-sama. At that time, we will welcome Sukuna-sama with a mikoshi!"

That afternoon, news that the Japanese government would hold the Ryomen Sukuna Festival at the Yasukuni Shrine on October 10th appeared on the televisions, computers, and mobile phones of countless residents.

For a moment, everyone thought that the Japanese government had gone crazy, and the Internet in various countries exploded, with people madly criticizing the Japanese government's stupid behavior.

Zheng Zha, Zhan Lan, Chu Xuan, Liu Qiang and others who were far away in the four countries also saw the news.

Gathered in front of the TV in the hotel room, everyone looked at each other with extremely strange expressions.

They wanted to get angry, but the situation was so outrageous that it made them laugh even more.

Chu Xuan said calmly, "If God wants someone to die, he will first make him crazy."

He watched the news, but his expression didn't change at all, as if he had known this would happen.

Just like what I saw at the White House press conference yesterday, he had the same expression.

　I still couldn't stop myself. I hope the market doesn't fall too much on Monday.
