"Bang!"
The demon was struck by the heavy hammer and slammed violently into the ground.
With a loud "boom," it crashed onto the street outside the mall, shattering a large section of paving stones and creating a shallow dent.
Blood spilled from his mouth, and two teeth flew out and landed on the street.
"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"
Four Source Warriors descended in a quadrilateral, surrounding the demon in the center, their sharp, active metal weapons pointed at it.
"The superiors ordered us to detain this demon."
One of the warriors transformed his weapon into chains, binding the dying demon on the ground.
...
Elsewhere, the battle against the demons gradually began, and some hidden demons were gradually detected by the Source Warriors and surrounded and attacked.
Some demons chose to surrender, while others were surrounded and killed. The situation seemed to be tilting entirely in favor of the human forces, and none of the previously envisioned strategies for overcoming difficult challenges were used.
"Block One has been cleared."
"The sweep of Block Nine is complete."
"Block Five cleared."
...
As the videos continued to circulate, and given the similar battle situations in other cities, all viewers and soldiers were filled with confidence in restoring normal order to Japan. So far, there have been no civilian casualties; at most, some people were simply frightened.
In the field hospital tent area temporarily set up by the Japanese government on the outskirts of the city, doctors and nurses are working diligently.
Its main task is to help those who are possessed recover.
A nurse was passing by a tent when she saw a man in a suit standing by the roll-up curtain, looking out at the seemingly bustling city of Tokyo in the distance.
"Mr. Qingtian, you have just recovered and need to rest more. Your body is very weak right now, so please do not walk around!"
The latter turned around and gave the nurse a gentle smile.
"Thank you, nurse. I will be careful."
After the nurse left, the man seemed to be muttering something to himself.
'However, I was truly surprised that humans have been able to develop and utilize the source and active metals to this extent. That mental infrasound is quite disgusting.'
'Sigh, if it weren't for the source cell group releasing water, tsk tsk...'
...
The initial scanning and clearing of Tokyo was not completed until sunrise on the second day. Although the Fountain Warriors were still physically strong because of their suits, they were inevitably mentally exhausted.
The massive information processing and exchange required by the suits is also a burden on humans.
A lieutenant colonel dressed in a Source suit strode into a large bank in Tokyo.
After passing through layers of sentry posts, they arrived at the sturdy vault door.
"Open."
"yes!"
One of the 10 guards stepped forward and quickly operated the multiple locks on the vault, which combined electronic and mechanical mechanisms.
"Sizzle~~~"
Amidst the vigilance of the soldiers, the vault doors slowly opened.
"Um?"
The moment the door opened, the lieutenant colonel realized something was wrong and quickly stepped inside.
All forty-odd captured demons sat or lay there silently.
The holy silver chains binding them remained intact, faithfully restricting their movements, which were so limited they could barely lift their heads.
However, on the suit's information screen, all the demons' life force was displayed as a gray number "0".
"They're all dead?"
It was just that the view was unclear outside; was it because it was blocked by the vault?
One of the guards seemed incredulous. They were faithfully performing their duties here, and the life force scan hadn't shown any significant changes; if anything, it was only that the readings became somewhat blurry after the person was locked in the vault.
He kicked a demon lying on the ground, which was swept far away to the other side of the wall, knocking down several other lifeless demons sitting against the wall.
The power amplification of the Source Suit is enormous, but I didn't even put any force into that kick just now.
"No! It's so light!"
The soldier cried out in disbelief.
...
In the tent area of a temporary field hospital on the outskirts of Tokyo, several Japanese medical professors asked a few nurses in surprise.
"You're saying that all those patients have disappeared?"
"Not all... those who were frightened, twisted their ankles, or got scrapes are still there..."
An old professor replied irritably, "Nonsense! I'm asking about those demon-possessed individuals! Haven't any of them disappeared?"
"Yes...yes..."
The entire field hospital's doctors, nurses, and guards, along with some Chinese soldiers camped nearby, were mobilized.
They searched the tent area and the surrounding area for the missing "patients".
...
The temporary command center of the Chinese Embassy in Japan was completely silent, as was the entire staff.
With a "bang~" sound.
He Zhongze slammed his fist hard on the table.
"They actually used shadows to shed their skin! We've been tricked!"
Li Shengyao, standing to the side, frowned as he looked at the simulated sand table on the table.
"Our habitual way of thinking has bound us, and it is clearly no longer appropriate to deal with the war against the fantasy species using the way of thinking about past wars."
"The enemy is not a human soldier from World War I or World War II, nor do they control steel weapons. They possess all sorts of bizarre abilities that cannot be fully counted, making them true 'mythical' creatures."
"The reason why the Abyss Demon can incur the wrath of the masses is that it must have the ability to do so."
Li Shengyao turned on the communication device.
"Although I'm reluctant to admit it, I have to say that we underestimated our opponent! I will write this self-criticism."
He Zhongze opened his mouth, but his angry momentum vanished.
"Michael is definitely waiting to see me make a fool of myself..."
Plan One only considered the strength of China's own forces, so the Angel race was naturally left in China. Thinking about how he had boasted before the expedition, He Zhongze blushed a little.
In the atmosphere of propaganda, such news obviously could not be hidden for long, and the Chinese military and government leaders remained tight-lipped.
He simply left out the "miscalculations" in the battle and frankly admitted that this was the first war fought by any country against supernatural beings, and that due to a lack of experience, he apologized to the people of the world.
However, just as the Chinese leadership had predicted, the strength of the Chinese frontline troops was undeniable. Even though they had been outmaneuvered by the devils, the devils chose to flee.
At least Tokyo seems safe now.
People around the world have expressed their understanding of the Chinese military online, generally believing that no other army could have done a better job. Even the Japanese public has expressed their gratitude for the Chinese military's efforts in maintaining Japan's stability.
The angry curses of a few right-wing Japanese were drowned out by the barrage of words. As for the missing Japanese who were possessed, most people believed that they may have been completely corrupted by demons, and even their families generally expressed pessimism.
Regardless, the Chinese military's support operation was generally highly effective, demonstrating its power beyond the world's imagination.
Meanwhile, all sorts of speculations about the world are springing up online.
Demons, real demons! Are there really gods and Buddhas? Are there angels too? What about Heaven and Hell? How much is hidden from ordinary people?
