Chapter 181: Chapter 122: Second Wave of Ability Inheritance, Counter-killing Japan, and Obtaining the Divine Artifact
Under the cover of night, the middle-aged man’s expression was vicious.
"General!" someone cried, running over to deliver an urgent report. "Kaminoya City was just submerged by Sea Beasts..."
His face darkened. The latest wave of inherited game abilities had just claimed another coastal city in Japan, yet he remained where he was.
"Wait!" the general snapped. All other emergencies were relegated to secondary priority. The Divine Artifact is the most important thing. I’m not leaving until I have it in my hands. Right now, his only goal was to refine the man from Xia Country and obtain the complete Divine Artifact. He was confident he could succeed. On the soil of Japan, the nation’s Divine Artifact was omnipotent.
"Wait," the general muttered again. He never expected that this wait would last for two days.
More than forty hours later, having not slept for three days, the middle-aged man swayed on the verge of collapse. He had severe dark circles under his eyes as he waited for the Divine Bottle to complete its refinement. At this moment, he was filled with incomparable rage. The "Sharingan" he had inherited the day before allowed him to see clearly inside the Divine Bottle, and what he discovered made him practically explode. The man from Xia Country was sleeping soundly, protected by twenty thick pillars.
His rage had stacked to its maximum. He swore he wouldn’t rest until Shen Fei was refined.
KRANG!
A strange noise suddenly echoed from within the Divine Bottle.
"Ah!" The general instantly activated his Sharingan, trying to peer inside to see what was happening. He never expected that the massive Divine Bottle would be sent flying. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓
CRACK!
The moment it was launched, the still-massive Divine Bottle smashed heavily into Mount Fuji in the distance, instantly shattering the mountain to pieces.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The Divine Bottle was thrown open, and seventy enormous, sky-piercing cylinders suddenly appeared from within, instantly shooting up to several thousand meters in height. Then, an endless, unrestrained barrage of attacks violently bombarded the land for hundreds of kilometers in every direction. The general only had time to let out a bloodcurdling scream before giant, tentacle-like vines skewered him from head to toe like a kebab. In his final moments, he saw the shattered Mount Fuji and the entirety of Reijing Bay being carpet-bombed by infinite attacks.
"KILL!"
After enduring for three days, Shen Fei was so hungry his scalp felt numb and his body trembled. He had estimated the time perfectly. In one explosive burst, now free from his restraints, he sent the Divine Bottle flying and unleashed an endless barrage of attacks upon his surroundings. He was venting his frustration from being trapped while also testing the full power of his Defense Towers. Here on the soil of Japan, he could attack without restraint, without scruple, and without pressure.
SWOOSH!
Amidst the endless attacks, Shen Fei controlled a Vine Tower to pull back the Divine Bottle, which had shrunk after shattering Mount Fuji.
SWISH!
With the Divine Artifact in hand, Shen Fei immediately slapped the 15% fragment he was holding onto it. An immeasurable light erupted in his hand. The Divine Artifact had finally become a 100% complete entity.
The general was dead. The small, dark purple bottle, now radiating a brilliant light, was clutched in Shen Fei’s hand. Glancing from side to side, he discovered that after the indiscriminate ultimate attacks from his seventy Defense Towers, the entire ground of Reijing Bay had sunk by several tens of meters. All buildings, crops, and vegetation had been completely obliterated.
ROAR!
Just as Shen Fei was about to inspect the Divine Artifact’s Attributes, a tremendous roar suddenly erupted from the waters of the bay ahead. Looking up, he saw a behemoth, eight to nine hundred meters tall, appear in the distance. It was Godzilla. The Godzilla’s body glowed with blue light, its massive maw open with long streams of saliva dripping down as it salivated over the Divine Artifact in Shen Fei’s hand. It then charged over at high speed.
"Gosu God!" a nearby Ninja cried out. Several of them had been skewered by the vines like gourds but hadn’t died yet, and they became ecstatic upon seeing Godzilla. "Please save our Japanese Empire! Please... please... annihilate this Demon!"
They recognized the giant Godzilla. It was the one that had rampaged through and destroyed a city a week ago before disappearing into the sea. Moreover, this one was now even bigger and stronger. Spitting blood and struggling, the few Ninjas looked on with faces full of anticipation. ƒrēewebnovel.com
Holy crap! An opportunist lying in wait? Shen Fei wondered. He didn’t know if Godzilla had been drawn by the energy bursting from the Divine Artifact or attracted by the carpet-bombing from his Defense Towers. Seeing the behemoth charging toward him, all he could do was turn his seventy Defense Towers and mercilessly fire a Cluster Attack at it.
ROAR! Seeing the energy beams that had appeared from thin air shooting toward it, Godzilla let out an angry roar, opened its great maw, and spat out a pale blue ion beam.
CRACK!
And then... there was no "and then." Seventy Defense Towers, while not yet at the one-hundred-tower chain reaction threshold, were not something a mere Godzilla could block. In an instant, the Defense Towers’ attack pushed back the blue ion beam and slammed into Godzilla’s head.
CRACK!
Then, from top to bottom, Godzilla’s body was pierced straight through.
"Ah! Ah! AHHH!"
The few half-dead Ninjas who had just been full of hope witnessed this. Their eyes rolled back into their heads, and they all kicked the bucket. At this point, the only person left alive in all of Reijing Bay was Shen Fei.
Alright, job’s done! And it dropped quite a bit of loot! After annihilating the Godzilla that had served itself up on a platter, Shen Fei controlled the vines to quickly pull the few dropped items to his side. Among them, the most peculiar was a pair of eye-like objects that had appeared on the body of the dead general.
WHOOSH!
With a flicker, Shen Fei’s body vanished. As he left, giant waves surged and seawater poured back into the cratered land. The endless sea completely submerged Reijing Bay, which had sunk by several tens of meters. All the bodies of the Japanese people, including the general, vanished without a trace in an instant.
(PS: I felt like this was dragging on a bit, so I sped things up in this Chapter to finish the plotline of conquering the Neutral City. The protagonist will go home and catch his breath for a bit, and then we’ll immediately start the next climax that’s been building for a long time!)
