Dimensional Invasion: I Can Fish for All Heavens

Chapter 162 A poignant beauty blooming amidst destruction; the weak have no right to govern the strong.
Tenyu Sora was very curious about Ye Xuan, extremely curious, to the extreme. The root of this curiosity was the strength Ye Xuan possessed.

In a sense, she is just like Esdeath from Akame ga Kill!, believing in the law of the jungle, yet also regarding battle as the ultimate enjoyment.

For her, the strong are both prey and peaks she yearns to conquer.

This is why she took the initiative to come into contact with the anime and tokusatsu of Daxia for the first time, which is the source of Ye Xuan's power.

She wasn't interested in Armor Heroes; she'd seen too many of those righteous and benevolent ideals. The same was true for Kamen Rider; while the slogan "Fight for human freedom" was catchy, what did they actually change besides eliminating evil?

But "Fox Spirit Matchmaker" is different. It features a tragic love story of reincarnation and continued destiny, a vow made under the Bitter Love Tree, and the entanglement between Tu Shan Hong Hong and Dongfang Yue Chu over hundreds of years.
These stories surprisingly stirred a rare feeling of "love" in her; especially the heart-wrenching yet sweetly bittersweet love, which perfectly matched her aesthetic.

Just like Esdeath freezing to death while holding Tatsumi in the end.
The image of "the beloved lying in a pool of blood, trembling fingertips as they died, the broken tears in their last eyes, and the painful yet blissful smile frozen on their lips" flashed through Amayu Sora's mind. Her face flushed unnaturally, and her breathing became rapid.

That kind of extreme emotional outburst, that poignant beauty blooming amidst destruction—that's the "love" she longed for.

"You really look like a yandere right now."

Kagura Shimizu's indifferent voice suddenly rang out. She stood at the door, her brows slightly furrowed, not understanding why Amayu Kuroko would show such an expression.

"Maybe I really am."

Tenyu Sora's expression gradually calmed down, and she gave her a bright smile, as if her earlier lapse in composure had never happened.

She gently tapped the screen, and the image froze on the moment Ye Xuan unleashed the Flowing Blade of Fire:
"What do those old guys up there expect us to do with these videos?"

"Can we find a way to deal with Ye Xuan from this?"

"Leaving aside the power of the myriad treasures in the Great Xia works that Ye Xuan possesses, don't Liu Ren Ruo Huo and the others understand it?"

"With one strike, what happened before could happen again."

Tenyu Sora tilted her head, a hint of mockery in her smile.

As for what she mentioned about what happened back then, Kagura Shimizu naturally knew what it was, and shook her head slightly, saying:
“These are not the kinds of things you should say in front of them.”

"Of course I know."

Amane Mio waved her hand casually, lazily stretching her waist. The thin uniform outlined her perfect curves, her slender yet strong waist, her long legs, and the lines of her collarbone that were faintly visible with her movements.

"At a time like this, it's truly pathetic that the most vigilant nations are still those that are all human beings."

"The number of mutated creatures is increasing, and their strength is improving, but the old guys' minds are still stuck in the past; they are still immersed in the game of power, enjoying the last of their decadent pleasures."

"The only commendable thing is that they gave us the authority to form a team of superhumans."

"However, this is probably only because they know in their hearts that the weak have no right to manage the strong."

Suddenly, Amayuu Mio revealed a breathtaking smile, a smile so beautiful it was almost unsettling, yet it carried a sharp edge, like a blooming datura flower, gorgeous yet deadly.

"They are simply being wary of something that they should have been wary of in the first place."

"A person who has done something wrong will always be paranoid and suspicious."

Kagura Shimizu said calmly.

That's a very insightful observation.

Amane Sora chuckled softly, knowing what Kagura Shimizu meant.

"I'm really looking forward to that day." Lighthouse, conference room.

"The Great Xia Dynasty already has more than twenty known holders of the Heavenly Treasures!"

"Although most of them are Devil Fruit users, even with the most numerous Devil Fruits, we haven't found a single user here!"

"Two fifth-tier! One fourth-tier! Five third-tier! And this is only the number we know! Nobody knows exactly how far the Great Xia Dynasty has progressed in the realm of the extraordinary."

At the conference table, a middle-aged man in a suit suddenly slammed his hand on the table and stood up. He then strode to the projector and pointed his finger sharply at the symbols of various countries.

"Not just Great Xia, the whole world is moving forward as much as possible in this era."

"Two holders of celestial treasures have already appeared in the Sakura Kingdom, and one of them is even more terrifying than the other holder of the celestial character template!"

"Even now in the Russian Bear Country, someone has lifted Thor's hammer and become a new-era Thor, most likely possessing fifth-tier strength!"

"Although no one has pulled the sword out of the stone yet, judging from the Russian bear country, it may not take long!"

"And there are also the successors of Joan of Arc from the Gallic region!"

He turned and scanned the crowd, his voice almost forced out through clenched teeth:
"And what about us? As the most powerful nation in the world, we don't even have a single holder of a celestial treasure!"

"not a single one!"

Shouldn't we feel ashamed and reflect on this?!

The conference room was completely silent; the air seemed to freeze.

Suddenly, a young man in the corner cautiously raised his hand:

"Actually, there was one; the one who obtained the Mark III armor."

"The treasures from all the heavens that have been handed over need not be mentioned!"

The middle-aged general interrupted sharply, speaking in a cold tone.

The conference room fell into silence again.

That's why no one dares to reveal their identity as the holder of the treasures of the heavens. What if they also "voluntarily" hand them over?
Although a subsequent announcement stated that they would do their best to cultivate any holder of the Heavenly Treasures, unless the Heavenly Treasures are unobtainable, these Heavenly Treasures will probably change owners very soon.

It's not just the treasures of the heavens.

Of those who initially revealed their superpowers online, quite a few have disappeared.

As for why it disappeared, don't we all know the answer?

In this situation, even if superhumans are no longer needed, how could those powerful and talented superhumans dare to step forward?

"Now, the only way to turn this around is to regain the people's trust, their trust in the beacon."

The middle-aged general's voice suddenly lowered, carrying a heavy sincerity; he looked around at everyone, his gaze seemingly piercing through the conference room and looking at the entire country.

"We need to tell them that the lighthouse is in its most critical moment, and we need the strength of everyone; we need to make the people understand that the lighthouse needs heroes now."

"We want to tell those awakened individuals who have the power that this country needs them to stand up and protect this land and everything they cherish!"
