The seemingly restored social order deteriorated at an unimaginable speed within half a month.
Numerous suspicious gatherings have been taking place, and incidents suspected of being cult activities are rampant.
Subsequently, a large number of people exhibiting similar symptoms to the previous "disorder" appeared on an even larger scale.
The number of cases nationwide has exploded, reaching the point where it affects everyone around us. The Metropolitan Police Department's emergency hotline is ringing 24 hours a day, and officers are so exhausted that they have no time to rest.
Worse still, some police officers have also begun to be assimilated by the cult.
It can no longer be described as the spread of a virus or disease; it is linked to religious rituals and illegal gatherings, making the leaders of these countries realize that the situation is getting out of control.
The higher-ups have already deployed the military to suppress the unrest, but the situation has not improved, and a strange sense of crisis hangs over them.
It seems that the number of normal citizens is decreasing. Although the change in numbers is not obvious yet, it would be dangerous if this continues.
This situation cannot be resolved by weapons, let alone the fact that it is simply impossible to use weapons of mass destruction against civilians.
There was no other way but to ask for help!
...
In the office of the person in charge at a base in China, a large screen is playing footage of the current chaos within the country.
Two six-winged seraphim were making sarcastic and grumbling remarks about the great god.
"You humans are such a hassle. It's so close, why don't you just let us go there and purify it!"
"I don't think I need to repeat myself, no means no."
He Zhongze replied lazily.
"But why don't you send someone over to clean up the mess yourselves? This level of chaos isn't much of a problem for you, is it?"
“That is another country’s sovereign territory. We have no right to go there to enforce the law unless they actively request assistance.”
Michael clapped the red cross sword in his hand, somewhat impatiently.
"There are so many messy sovereignty claims. When will they ask for help? Will they wait until the whole country turns into a monster before they even realize there's a problem?"
"It'll be here soon, what's the rush? I'm human and I'm not in a hurry!"
Lieutenant General Li Shengyao remained calm and composed in the room, his eyes closed as if he hadn't heard the argument.
Although He Zhongze appeared relaxed and carefree, he knew in his heart that this was not only an opportunity for the Abyss Demons, but also an opportunity for the six kingdoms.
In order to give the World Tree Alliance absolute say among ordinary humans, even forces such as the Immortal Abode and the Dark Sanctuary remained silent in this incident, awaiting the six nations' handling of the matter.
Because the angels were right about one thing.
There are just too many messy claims to sovereignty among humans; with over two hundred countries, there are just over two hundred different voices.
This situation might have been manageable during the era of Earth's fragmentation, but once the true era of Earth's expansion began, such internal chaos within the race would only hinder the overall interests of the race.
Of course, achieving unification of all humanity is impossible, at least not now, but it is possible to create a force within the human race that possesses a decisive voice.
Without resorting to internal strife such as war, an opportunity was inevitably needed, and the demons provided that opportunity.
The World Tree Alliance needs a stage to rise to power. For this stage, all known human forces, such as the Immortal Abode, the Dark Sanctuary, the Deep Blue Magic Group, the Spirit Masters, and the Ten Thousand Beasts Manor, have chosen to exercise restraint and leave the task to professional political manipulators.
A knocking sound came from the door.
With He Zhongze's permission, a soldier in military uniform entered the room, saluted Li Shengyao, He Zhongze, and several other human officers, and then saluted the angels.
"Report! The Central Committee has issued the Twelfth Exorcism Order. Due to urgent requests for assistance from Japan and South Korea, our tactical corps, the Second to Fourth Corps, are ordered to be ready to set out at any time!"
Li Shengyao suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze sharp and piercing.
He Zhongze drank the water in his cup in one gulp, stood up, and smiled at Michael.
"Look, here it is!"
...
A dozen military transport aircraft bearing the red flag insignia, escorted by fighter jets, flew across the vast ocean toward their destination.
Several Japanese fighter jets took off, not to obstruct, but to guide.
"Qianhe-1 is calling the command center, reporting the presence of Chinese aircraft."
"Chizuru No. 1, guide them here and fly directly to the key city target."
"clear."
...
As it approached Tokyo, a large transport plane flew lower and lower, reaching an altitude of 500 meters above the ground.
F-16 fighter jets named Chizuru No. 1 and No. 2 followed the transport plane along with the Chinese escort aircraft.
The filming equipment on board the plane recorded the entire process, and at this moment, there are also some helicopters circling around filming.
The rear cargo door of the transport plane suddenly opened slowly.
"What are they planning to do? Are they going to airdrop supplies first? Or are they going to parachute in soldiers? Didn't they say they have the equipment to identify the source of a hazard? Are they going to just drop the equipment down?"
The Japanese high-ranking officials observing from the rear discussed the matter with puzzlement.
Inside the cabin, thousands of soldiers from ten companies of the Tactical Second Army Corps were ready.
As the fuselage doors opened fully, the commander shouted, "Move out!"
Everyone rushed toward the howling cabin door in order, and jumped down toward the city below.
In just half a minute, all of the thousands of soldiers had jumped off the plane.
Twenty meters before hitting the ground, the soldiers in front activated their speed brakes, landing on the streets of the foreign city with a series of roars as they made contact with the ground, crushing patches of concrete.
Whether it was the high-ranking Japanese officials observing this scene from behind, the ordinary people watching through the windows of buildings, or the people who were still lingering on the streets despite the local government's notice prohibiting them from going out.
Everyone stared in astonishment as they saw the sci-fi warriors plummeting from the sky without parachutes.
Two small red flags were sprayed and engraved on the shoulder straps of each soldier.
This scene was not only witnessed by Japanese personnel, but also broadcast live to the world online. This was originally just a small tactic by the Japanese to prevent China from sending troops and taking any extreme actions, and they obtained China's consent with little effort.
But at that moment, the hearts of hundreds of millions of people watching the live stream felt as if they had been struck by a hammer.
It took me several tries to confirm that I wasn't watching a science fiction movie.
On the streets of Tokyo, the members of the tactical corps knew that the cameras from the planes above were definitely giving them close-ups.
Led by the commander, everyone cracked their knuckles, a gesture that had become almost a signature move of the Fountain Warriors, without exception across the six kingdoms.
"Hey, execute Plan One! Everyone move out!"
"Bang~" "Bang~" "Bang~" "Bang~" "Bang~" "Bang~" ... . . . . .
Countless surfaces were crushed by the reaction force.
Before countless camera lenses, the group of Chinese soldiers clad in silver-white technological armor who had just been standing in place vanished from the camera's view in an instant.
"Bang!"
"Clang!"
In front of countless screens, water cups and notebooks were smashed on the floor.
Soon, the high-speed camera slowed down the lens by ten times before it could barely make out the moving images of the soldiers with blurry afterimages.
Some were excited, some were apprehensive, some were nervous, some were uneasy, and some could hardly believe it.
Is this the Chinese military? Is this the technology that humanity currently possesses? What about the other five "originating countries"?
