Chapter 1261 Leviathan Emerges
Pacific Ocean Battlefield.
Two distinct fleets sailed across the sea surface, while fighter jets maintained a tense standoff in the skies—a stalemate that had persisted for half a month.
Under the relentless pressure from the Chaos Realm fleet, the Japanese Self-Defense Forces' maritime defense line had repeatedly retreated, now pushed to the western Pacific coast. With less than five hundred kilometers remaining, they risked being forced into Tokyo Bay.
The combat prowess of the Japanese Self-Defense Forces was undeniably strong, especially with their cutting-edge emerging technologies ranking among the world's most advanced.
Yet, the military might of the Chaos Realm was terrifyingly superior. The so-called emerging technologies stood no chance against the Atech inherited by the Chaos Realm.
"Did you see yesterday's news?"
"You mean the Fourth True Ancestor declaring war on Japan?"
In the sky, two Japanese Self-Defense Force fighter pilots switched to a private communication channel.
"Do you think the contents of that declaration are true? Are we really risking our lives for such a foolish government?"
"Who knows…"
The pilot's tone was noticeably demoralized.
Having provoked two True Ancestors at once, public discontent in the country had reached a boiling point. Reports even mentioned protest rallies on the main islands, demanding the government apologize and offer compensation to the two True Ancestors.
Morale among those fighting on the Pacific front had plummeted to rock bottom in recent days.
No one wanted to sacrifice their lives for an incompetent government.
Moreover, the ones they had offended were two major True Ancestors!
In this era, True Ancestors were synonymous with the last people anyone should cross. They were essentially walking natural disasters, capable of bringing ruin to nations and homes with a single misstep!
And yet, the Japanese government had foolishly managed to antagonize two of them at once!
"Enough chatter. These matters aren't for us to discuss."
Their superior's voice cut through their whispers via the headset.
It was clear from his tone that even he felt helpless.
"The Prime Minister is scheduled to hold a press conference. Our only task is to hold the True Ancestor alliance forces here."
"Right… By the way, doesn't something feel off today? Why is the Chaos Realm fleet being unusually quiet?"
One pilot sensed something amiss.
Normally, the Chaos Realm soldiers—fervent defenders of their True Ancestors' honor—would have eagerly charged into battle by now. Why were they holding back today?
"I heard the forces from Tsukishima are joining us today. Could that be why?"
"No, I haven't heard about Tsukishima having a navy."
"Wait! Radar shows something rapidly ascending from the ocean floor! It's fast—almost at the surface now… What kind of monster is that?!"
"ROOOOARRRR——————!"
Suddenly, a colossal spray of water erupted into the sky!
A deep, resonant roar, like the toll of a heavy bell, echoed across the sea.
Looking closely—
Not only the Self-Defense Forces but even the Chaos Realm soldiers paled in terror.
A serpentine behemoth, four kilometers long, emerged. Its head alone dwarfed skyscrapers, reducing both fleets to the insignificance of ants before it.
As soon as it surfaced, the giant serpent opened countless densely packed pores across its body.
In the blink of an eye, missiles launched from those holes, trailing fiery tails, and surged toward the Japan Self-Defense Force across the sea!
Each missile had a biological form resembling that of a hornet or snake, seemingly capable of automatically selecting targets. Their trajectories were distinct and precise, homing in on their objectives with deadly accuracy!
A rough count revealed there were hundreds of these living missiles!
"Boom! Boom! Boom—!!!"
Fireworks ignited in the sky above the Pacific Ocean.
Faced with the rapidly tracking, high-speed living missiles, the pilots were filled with despair, forced to watch helplessly as the projectiles crashed into them, engulfing them in flames.
The fleet on the sea suffered a similar fate, with ship after ship struck by the living missiles, sending plumes of smoke spiraling into the sky like tornadoes.
In just one volley, the Self-Defense Force fleet was crippled, and all fighter jets were annihilated!
"Is that... Leviathan?"
At the center of the Chaos Domain fleet, Gada couldn't help but rise from her seat, gazing in awe at the mighty Jealous Serpent.
"To think he even managed to tame Leviathan?"
The Jealous Serpent Leviathan was a genuine creation of the gods!
While others might not know, Gada was well aware that Leviathan's essence was a self-aware super-weapons factory, capable of automatically producing a variety of weapons internally.
A super-monster that even the three True Ancestors could do nothing about, left to roam the depths of the world's oceans!
Its status was truly transcendent!
"As expected of the man you've taken a liking to, right?"
At that moment, a male voice abruptly rang out.
The female guards nearby immediately tensed, summoning their familiars.
"Stand down."
But Gada waved them away.
Turning to look, she saw a stunningly beautiful youth who seemed blessed by heaven and earth standing on the deck.
Behind him was a raven-haired beauty with hair trailing to the ground, clad in a thick twelve-layered kimono, holding a grimoire.
"You're not disguising yourself anymore?"
Gada raised an eyebrow, her gaze sweeping over the dark-haired beauty before settling on Eiji.
"There's no need now."
Eiji smiled casually.
In the past, he only wore sunglasses and a mask out of consideration for Natsuki Minamiya's position.
But now? The entire Shinshi City is my backyard—why bother with disguises?
"Aya, go clean up the mess."
"As you command, Master."
Sendoumi Aya respectfully acknowledged the order before activating spatial transfer and vanishing from the deck.
Immediately after, numerous mages affiliated with the Library of Criminal Organizations appeared on the battlefield, effortlessly dismantling the Self-Defense Force's remaining forces with various grimoires.
"The LCO... that can't possibly be your army, can it?"
Gada watched the mages moving freely across the battlefield, her expression turning peculiar.
"Ah, you know how it is! My Shinshi City doesn't have a navy, so I had to bring in some auxiliary forces to fill the gap!"
Eiji chuckled and stepped forward, wrapping his arms around Gada's slender waist.
"How about supporting me a bit? I don't mind living off your wealth!"
It was late November, exactly one month after the Hollow Eve Festival. Sendoumi Aya had fulfilled her mission, successfully reclaiming control of the LCO.
Fortunately, LCO is the world's largest terrorist organization with thousands of members—large enough to function as an army without seeming out of place. Moreover, their individual combat capabilities far surpass those of ordinary soldiers!
"Once this matter is over, why worry about lacking a navy?"
Jiada rolled her eyes at him.
But she didn't push him out of his embrace.
Seeing this, how could the surrounding guards fail to understand the situation?
So the master of the Chaos Domain was the legendary Fourth True Ancestor!
"By the way, is there a television here?"
Eiji looked around.
"The Japanese Prime Minister is holding a press conference—let's see how he dies!"
