Chapter 88: All is Silence
The Extraordinary Countermeasures Bureau seemed to have pressed the mute button at this moment, and the silence was so frightening.
“Gudong——”
A sudden swallowing sound suddenly rang out in this solidified time and space, breaking the silence around.
However, this untimely sound did not attract anyone's attention. Everyone tacitly chose to understand and ignore it. Their attention was firmly grasped by the horrifying scene on the screen, and their eyes were empty.
Minister Miki's hands were gripping his thighs like iron pliers, his fingertips digging deep into the muscles, and he felt no pain at all.
His head was fixed stiffly on the screen, his gaze drawn as if by a magnet.
Just now, there was a battle between Sukuna and Susanoo.
Takasaka Ryuji... No! It was Susanoo who swung the sword in his hand. In an instant, the clear sky was replaced by dark clouds.
The moment Susanoo summoned the hurricane, the faces of officials in the conference room, especially those in the economic field, turned pale as paper and they almost fainted on the spot.
Hurricanes are the most powerful natural force in the world. Apart from floods and earthquakes, they have the greatest destructive power on cities.
Every time a hurricane strikes, it is accompanied by astronomical direct economic losses, and the indirect losses caused by it are even more turbulent and difficult to count.
The first and foremost impact is that infrastructure will be severely damaged, leading to traffic disruptions, power supply shortages, poor communications, and house collapses.
The repair of these infrastructures requires a lot of manpower, material and financial resources, and increases the burden of post-disaster reconstruction, not to mention the indirect losses caused by the suspension of operations on the part of enterprises.
However, just as people were beginning to plan for post-disaster reconstruction, Ryomen Sukuna's attack dealt another big blow to everyone!
Storm? Appetizer!
Let me open your eyes!!!
After Ryoumen Sukuna put his hands together, a terrifying white line streaked across the sky. The devastating blow tore the earth apart, splitting the city in two.
What happened before their eyes put an end to all discussion.
"The city of Taichi...was cut in two just like that?"
A participant sitting in the corner idiotically repeated everything he had seen.
He now even suspected that everything on the screen was a special effect in a movie, and was just used by the Extraordinary Countermeasures Bureau to fool him.
Hmm... maybe I'm dreaming.
The issue of post-disaster reconstruction suddenly became insignificant, and there was only one thought left in the minds of everyone present.
Faced with such a deity with the power to destroy the heavens and the earth, can modern weapons really fight against it?
Fear and helplessness surged like a tide, people's thoughts stopped, and they could only stare at Ryoumen Sukuna in a trance.
Suddenly, a barely audible voice asking for instructions was heard in the meeting room.
"Does the weather bureau's live broadcast need to be cut off again? Isn't it a little late now?"
After hearing Minister Saito's voice, everyone present recalled a "heavyweight" matter that had been temporarily ignored and not dealt with.
"Hurry up and control public opinion!"
Before Minister Miki could issue an order, the deep voice of Minister Fujiwara was heard in the conference room.
"Yes, that's right, quickly control public opinion!"
“Remove all related content from the shelves!”
"Also, there are keywords. No related words can appear on the Internet!"
"Pay attention to blocking homophones as well!"
Minister Fujiwara looked at the people in the room who were panicking again, but he appeared calm on the surface.
But in reality, my heart was in turmoil.
Before this, all he had seen in the materials were the battle videos of Tetsuya Yamagami and Ryuji Takasaka. In his opinion, the extraordinary people were just like that.
Even if there are subsequent Tsuchigumo incidents, he doesn't think there is anything to worry about.
The Tsuchigumo is a legendary monster, but what happened? It was destroyed in the same way!
You said Tsuchigumo blew himself up? Wasn't that forced by the military?
Well, rounding it off, the big monsters and mythical creatures are no more than this!
But what did he see just now?
Not to mention the even more terrifying Ryoumen Sukuna, the destructive power of Susanoo's power to control the storm alone is unimaginable on modern cities. The power displayed by the opponent reminded him of a conception of weapons by countless scientists.
Weather weapons!
Meteorological weapons are the use of modern scientific and technological means to artificially intervene in and create various extreme weather phenomena, which are used as weapons in military operations to affect the enemy's combat effectiveness and operational capabilities.
Its powerful potential in war has led countless countries to regard it as an important research direction in modern warfare.
And the gods actually used their own strength to unleash power comparable to that of meteorological weapons!
In addition, Ryomen Sukuna is even more heavyweight, and the destructive power displayed by that attack is simply a human nuclear bomb!
Minister Fujiwara's mind began to work quickly, considering how to report to the commander-in-chief next.
From the very beginning, in his opinion, the actions of the Extraordinary Countermeasures Bureau were perfectly planned and handled in the early stages. Whether it was the search for Tetsuya Yamagami or the response when the war officially broke out, everything was carried out in an orderly manner without any mistakes.
As for the follow-up?
Who would have thought that it was a superhero brawl one second ago, and in the next second Ryoumen Sukuna and Susanoo appeared and the style directly changed to a mythological battle?
The leap is so great that it's like a cartoon, soaring from ground-level battles to star-level battles in an instant!
This is no longer a battle on a different dimension.
Thinking of this, Minister Fujiwara looked in the direction of Minister Miki with a hint of sympathy in his eyes.
In fact, it is not impossible to let Minister Miki resign at this time and push someone else to this position.
But in his actual opinion, this matter has exceeded the responsibility that the Extraordinary Countermeasures Bureau can bear, and no one else can handle it better.
"A natural disaster! This is something that humans cannot fight!" Minister Fujiwara thought to himself, "Let this guy continue to shine in the front."
"Wait, look, it looks like Ryuji Takasaka survived this attack!"
The sudden scream brought everyone's attention back to the screen.
Only the helicopter footage was shown.
Gao Ban Long Er fell rapidly from the air to the ground, but the moment he landed, the magic sword emitted a green light, and a whirlwind softened Gao Ban Long Er's body before he fell to the ground again.
Immediately afterwards, everyone saw that the tattered kimono that Ryuji Takasaka was wearing suddenly turned into white light and disappeared.
"Phew! Not bad!"
"Could that tattered kimono be the legendary divine weapon? It was able to save Takasaka Ryuji's body from being cut in half by such a terrifying blow?"
"Oh no! Ryoumen Sukuna is about to finish off Takasaka Ryuji!"
