The wrath of the emperor can cause millions of corpses to lie in wait and blood to flow for thousands of miles.
If a scholar is enraged, two corpses will lie prostrate, blood will flow five steps, and the world will be draped in mourning.
Qin Shi Huang, who conquered the six states and was a powerful and ambitious ruler, was still chased around a pillar by Jing Ke with a dagger.
An old, dying emperor, with a few words spitting out from his sleazy front teeth, could turn a person from the highest-ranking official into a prisoner, and a prisoner into a person of great power. But a mere palace maid could strangle the Jiajing Emperor, who was at the height of his power in the twenty-first year of his reign, and almost take his life.
There is no such thing as absolute invincibility.
The same applies to time stopping.
Shibuya Sky is a newly built viewpoint in recent years, an open-air platform overlooking the entire Shibuya area.
Li Changzhou and Yang Qinglan stood on the glass that served as a railing.
"Shibuya Crossing... Crossing... Isn't that Tokyo Tower over there? It's so close as the crow flies? Oh, I've discovered a huge forest!" Li Changzhou looked at the vast forest in the distance.
In such a vast green space in Tokyo, Li Changzhou could only think of... well, he knew nothing about Tokyo.
"Don't rush to use the fire wave. Burning down such a large area of forest is a serious diplomatic incident," Yang Qinglan said to him.
"Hasn't this already become a serious diplomatic incident?" Li Changzhou pointed to the crossroads at his feet.
According to the information he just found in the map, Shibuya Crossing is one of the busiest pedestrian crossings in the world, and it must be quite important to Japan.
This can be seen from the fact that many movies and games have been filmed here, such as Persona 5.
And now...
The ground was piled up, car wrecks were everywhere, smoke filled the air, and collapsed walls were visible everywhere, with lifeless bodies lying beneath them.
"How can we deal with this guy without using the Flame Wave?" Li Changzhou was at a loss.
His initial idea was to bury the opponent with flames as thick as the deep sea, flames so thick that even if time were stopped, the opponent would not be able to survive.
As a result, fire cannot be used now.
“Let’s observe for a while longer,” Yang Qinglan said. “The stopping time cannot be without any restrictions.”
"...Then why did we come here early?"
"Observe on-site, act at any time... cannot use real identity."
Shibuya Crossroads, time: 8:21 AM.
"Summon!" A figure raised his left arm, and a stone duel disk popped out. "Lava Demon!"
Black vines descended from the sky, turning the crossroads into a forest—no, a sea of fire—these vines were covered in black and red lava.
Ugh!
The lava demon, several meters tall and resembling vines, roared, and a powerful shockwave stirred up a gale.
The puppet Li Qianxia, who had lost most of her power, was almost blown away. Jolyne Kujo held her in his arms and shielded her eyes with his other hand to protect her from the strong wind.
The air heated up at a speed that could be felt by the naked eye, and in the blink of an eye, it had become a heat wave.
"Lava Demon, Flame Annihilation!" The middle-aged male player with the Duel Disk pointed at the storm and gave the order.
The vines spread out like a volley, whipping into the storm.
"Mu Da Mu Da!"
The storm laughed wildly, remaining motionless, its hands clasped in its pockets in front of its chest.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
The air continued to explode, and the vines flowing with lava burst open one after another. Even the spewed lava could not get within two meters of the storm.
"Impossible!" Duel Disk roared in disbelief. "If the Stand gets injured, the user will also get injured. No matter how fast the punch is, if you throw so many punches, you'll get burned by the flames!"
"...Could it be!" The Duel Disk suddenly felt a surge of fear.
“That’s right,” Storm laughed cruelly. “To deal with trash like you, the wind from my fists is enough!”
"What?!" All the players were shocked.
Even Yang Qinglan, who was watching the battle from the sky above Shibuya, was shocked.
"Why did they suddenly start commentating while they were fighting?" The intelligent girl couldn't understand it.
“Japanese games,” Li Changzhou touched the corner of his left eye with his right index finger, “are like this.”
At the crossroads, another Japanese player stepped forward; he looked to be only seven or eight years old!
"I'll help you! Go, Articuno!"
The red and white Poké Ball was thrown with the force of being smashed, and a dazzling white light burst out from inside the Poké Ball.
Tokyo, where it usually snows at least in December—and most of the time in January—suddenly saw snow in November, though only in Shibuya Crossing.
Snowflakes fluttered down from the night sky.
Amidst the dreamlike snowflakes, the dazzling white light gradually faded, revealing the beautiful and sacred figure of a large bird with blue feathers, a crest on its head composed of three deep blue rhomboid feathers, and red eyes.
With its colorful, flag-like tail feathers fluttering, Articuno, one of the three legendary birds, has broken through the dimensional barrier and appeared in reality.
The blue flames, like special effects, rippled around the bird's body, adorned with ice crystal-like particles, creating a beauty beyond words.
"Articuno, use Reflect on Lava Hound!"
Buzz!
A transparent glass panel appeared in front of the lava demon.
Bang! The air exploded, and the lava demon's whip flew out without shattering.
"Great!" The trainer jumped up, overjoyed.
"Reflective Barrier, reduces physical damage received, lasts 5 turns." Storm raised his head and looked at Articuno flying above the crossroads.
"One second, just one second." He kept his arms crossed and raised one index finger.
