That's truly embarrassing.
The situation is different now. Even if Scorpio were left in the outskirts of Tokyo, no organization would dare to make a move.
The Grim Reaper's reputation terrified the entire world in this battle.
With immense power and ruthless nature, they are capable of destroying entire cities at will, making them far more terrifying than the twelve zodiac signs.
The fact that they had sent out the cursed son earlier had already offended him.
Now that the leaders are considering how to repair relations, who would dare to cause trouble?
Is it because they think their region has too large a population?
Even within the Five Stars Association, some high-ranking officials are preparing to flee, wanting to get as far away from Japan as possible.
Given the hatred between the organization and Yalin, once discovered, they would be in a situation where they could neither live nor die, and might as well slit their own throats.
The once-powerful Five Flying Association seemed poised to disband on the spot after this battle.
.....
Presidential Palace, Osaka Ward.
Qi Wuzongxuan was watching the battle between Yalin and Scorpio over and over again with a grim expression.
Finally, he sighed silently.
Even he couldn't help but have a thought.
Shh, can we reconcile?
Facing a deity walking among humans, even the idea of mutual destruction is probably unrealistic.
Are you suggesting we threaten him with the cursed child?
This thought only lasted a few seconds before Qi Wuzongxuan dismissed it.
Putting himself in Yalin's shoes, he didn't think this would be useful. In fact, once the news got out, it would immediately bring Yalin to his door.
Of course, even if he didn't do that, the other party probably wouldn't let him go.
This is a dead end.
Qi Wuzong Xuan frowned, pondering how to deal with this formidable enemy.
Perhaps it's time to step back from the spotlight and use a stand-in to take the fall?
Unlike Dr. Albrecht, he had only met Subject One a few times.
Moreover, it's all one-sided observation; the other party isn't familiar with him. If he tries to deceive them, he might have a chance to survive.
Of course, this is not safe when facing a god on earth, and there is a very high probability that the anomaly will be detected.
He considered several other plans, all of which were extremely risky.
Even as president, he is now in dire straits.
This caused a hint of ferocity to appear in Qi Wuzongxuan's eyes, if he were truly forced into a corner.
Let's test the so-called Grim Reaper on the entire Osaka area to see if it's really immortal.
......
Yalin strolled through the streets of Osaka, heading towards the city center.
Unlike Tokyo, the taxes here are extremely harsh, and the atmosphere is quite oppressive.
Qi Wuzong Xuan had a terrible reputation among the people, and he was assassinated by his subordinates every now and then.
If the Holy Emperor was an idol, then Qi Wuzong Xuan was undoubtedly a power-wielding figure, a truly ambitious ruler.
Yalin made no comment on this, but focused his gaze on the cursed child, then frowned.
The weak wield their knives against the even weaker; in such a repressive atmosphere, the treatment of the cursed children in Osaka is even more brutal than in Tokyo.
After all, the Holy Emperor in Tokyo still sympathizes with the cursed child, so he won't go too far in public.
As for the Osaka area, after the lower-class residents were oppressed, most of them did not dare to resist and naturally transferred the pressure to the cursed children.
With an outlet for their pent-up emotions, the region was able to stabilize and there were no large-scale riots.
For Yalin, there was more trash to clean up.
Upon entering the Presidential Palace, they came before Qi Wuzong Xuan, who knew nothing about the matter.
The enemy is currently instructing its subordinates to deploy various deadly weapons against Yalin, including nuclear weapons capable of destroying the entire city of Osaka.
Japan possesses nearly half of the world's chromium resources and is the largest exporter of chromium.
Therefore, after the defeat in the Gastrea Wars, they quickly rebuilt themselves and reaped a wave of benefits.
As a city that has developed heavy industry, Osaka's possession of a variety of weapons of mass destruction surprised Yalin.
All I can say is that the technology tree in the Black Bullet world is somewhat outrageous.
Yalin listened calmly to the elaborate trap the other party had laid out for him, and as the conversation was about to end, he spontaneously clapped his hands.
By revealing oneself in the hall, one breaks down the cognitive barriers of the others.
Qi Wuzongxuan looked at Yalin, who was so close to him, and his face turned ugly, but he quickly regained his composure.
He greeted her with a friendly smile: "It is truly an honor that the esteemed Grim Reaper would grace Osaka with his presence."
It was as if the previously plotted schemes and traps had nothing to do with him.
This speed of turning on him left Yalin speechless. He truly lived up to his reputation as an outstanding ambitious man; his reaction was something even the Holy Emperor could not match.
Of course, the other officials and guards did not have such a good mindset. As they watched Yalin's face turn pale, they nervously swallowed their saliva.
They were afraid that a disagreement could turn the presidential palace into a bloody mess.
Yalin looked at Qi Wuzongxuan with great interest: "According to the Five Flying Soaring Society's custom, you should call me Number One. Why did you change your address?"
Damn it, I knew he was there.
Qi Wuzongxuan felt no sense of luck, but his expression remained unchanged.
"Haha, Your Excellency Death is joking. Albrecht's offensive actions back then were purely his own doing."
I harbor no ill will towards you whatsoever. To demonstrate my sincerity, I, Qi Wuzongxuan, hereby withdraw from the Five Flying Stars Society, effective immediately.
As the old fox spoke, he observed Yalin's expression, trying to grasp the mind of this Grim Reaper.
"Of course, if you wish, all the cursed children of the Osaka region can be given to you."
This Grim Reaper is a natural disaster for humanity, but it is different for the Cursed Children.
Perhaps there is hope in this regard.
Yalin watched Qi Wuzongxuan's self-rescue actions without changing his expression.
This made the old fox realize that he had failed to sway the other party. However, since the preparations hadn't even begun, he didn't have a single bargaining chip.
It seems we'll have to pay a heavy price. It's heartbreaking, but we can only talk about the future if we're alive.
"Your Excellency Death, if you wish to seek revenge against the Five Flying Society, I can provide you with a list of all its members and their specific information."
Qi Wuzongxuan stared at Yalin and said very seriously.
The Five Wings Society's plan is to control the entire country of Japan. To this end, each of the five regions has a senior executive who can mobilize the organization's resources in order to seize power.
Shiko Senichi of Tokyo originally aimed to eliminate the Tendo family and become the one in power.
These cadres commanded a large number of members, and without the cooperation of an insider, it would be extremely difficult to capture them all in one fell swoop.
Qi Wuzongxuan's move can be described as completely betraying the Five Flying Association.
But those who achieve great things don't concern themselves with trifles; as long as they can survive, these things don't matter.
Moreover, he has an even more important bargaining chip.
"In addition, if you wish, the Osaka region can recognize you as its leader."
Whatever the order, I will do my utmost to fulfill it for you.
Qi Wuzongxuan spoke very frankly, which surprised Yalin.
Putting everything else aside, this president is indeed a remarkable figure, with all sorts of favorable conditions.
If Yalin and the Five Flying Association had no enmity, they might have spared his life temporarily, like Tendo Kikuno, to make use of his remaining value and make the operation go more smoothly.
However, Wu Xiang must die!
Yalin's eyes turned indifferent, and his Demon King talent instantly enveloped the entire Osaka region.
An invisible restraint brought all the people in the presidential palace under control, and a cruel smile appeared on Qi Wuzongxuan's unwilling gaze.
"Your suggestion is good, but Albrecht is already dead."
It's unfair to him that you're still alive.
No way, who the hell cares about fairness!
Qi Wuzong was stunned and quite unwilling.
His grand ambitions were all thwarted; he didn't even manage to unify Japan. His downfall was utterly laughable.
Yalin did not give him another chance to speak, but instead made him experience what Albrecht had gone through.
When Yalin came out of the presidential palace, the Wanhun Lantern had been refueled.
The taunt talent is activated targeting all residents of Osaka, causing everyone to look in the direction of Yarin.
The flickering flame on the lamp wick symbolizes the light of sin and punishment shining upon the city.
Volume 1: Chapter 176: The New Era (4k)
Yalin's actions were always decisive. In a very short time, he dealt with the problems in the four major regions of Osaka, Sendai, Reihoro, and Hakata, and brought the cursed children of these cities back to Tokyo.
Then the Holy Emperor, the apparent leader, sent troops to take over, preventing these regions from perishing due to chaos.
The process went quite smoothly, with almost no resistance.
Thanks to Yalin's cleanup efforts, the number of survivors is only a very small fraction of the original population.
The entire region was plunged into confusion and suffering, almost in complete chaos, and unable to mount any effective resistance.
