Chapter 71 Saving the Day
"Come look! Someone's flying in the sky!"
"His clothes look like those of ancient Japanese nobles!"
"There's nothing I can't accept that even bronze statues can come back to life and beat up the stupid and arrogant American army."
"This world has truly gone mad!"
"So our mythology might actually be true; the Japanese authorities just couldn't stand it anymore and started to wrap things up!"
Of course, the above sentiments are from a minority; most people, especially women, are almost driven to madness.
The reason is simple: the appearance of Abe no Genji in Onmyoji is too appealing.
"Honey, look at me! Look at me!"
"Honey, I love you!"
There were even instances of Japanese girls jumping and dancing right there at a U.S. military base, trying to get Abe Gen's attention.
As the birthplace of anime and manga culture, Japan has an even higher regard for appearance than South Korea, which is known for its face-changing cosmetic procedures.
Su Fan naturally didn't feel anything special; on the contrary, he felt a little embarrassed!
Because what he needs to do next is to defeat the Sugawara no Michizane statue and proclaim to the world the power of the Onmyoji Abe no Gen.
The American army was strong enough, right? But it was easily defeated by Sugawara no Michizane, who killed countless people.
Then Sugawara no Michizane must be powerful, and now that I am playing the Onmyoji Abe no Gen, as long as I can easily suppress Sugawara no Michizane, then the character of Onmyoji Abe no Gen will be established!
After all, in Su Fan's script, the character Abe no Gen is a positive character in the struggle between good and evil, even though the villains in the script have not yet appeared!
Su Fan was slightly embarrassed, however. He was unstoppable, like a god or a Buddha. The statue of Sugawara no Michizane, who had brutally defeated the American army, was actually a puppet controlled by him.
The Onmyoji Abe no Gen is the identity he plays now.
Therefore, the Onmyoji Abe no Illusion's suppression of Sugawara no Michizane is essentially a battle between himself and his own opponent!
Although outsiders were unaware of the intricacies involved, Su Fan, as the mastermind behind everything, was fully aware of everything!
But the play must go on, because as awkward as it may be, the feeling of fooling the world is strangely satisfying!
The world is muddy, but I am pure; everyone is drunk, but I am sober!
The Sugawara no Michizane statue clearly noticed the Onmyoji Abe no Gen flying in the air, and then ignored the American army.
The bronze statue of Sugawara no Michizane, wielding lightning, attacked the Onmyoji Abe no Gen.
In an instant, lightning flashed and thunder roared! Abe Gen was completely enveloped in lightning! His whole body seemed to be bathed in a pool of lightning and being baptized, which was no more than the heavenly tribulation in myths and legends!
Of course, the thunderous baptism had no effect on the Onmyoji Abe no Gen, who was being played; it just made him look cooler.
After all, the statue of Sugawara no Michizane is quite powerful; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he's currently invincible in the human world.
The power of faith accumulated over countless years has manifested in a single moment, resulting in formidable strength.
In fact, it was really satisfying to solo the American military base at the Sugawara Michizane statue, but the cost was also really high. He had previously forcibly taken a hit from an intercontinental ballistic missile, which directly consumed one-tenth of his Faith Power.
In other words, the location chosen was special, and if the United States were willing to indiscriminately bombard the area, there might still be hope.
But how could outsiders know the true state of the Sugawara no Michizane statue? They only see that even when it is broken, it can still be repaired, but they do not know that the repair consumes the invisible and intangible power of faith.
The Onmyoji Abe no Gen, who emerged from the thunder, seemed completely unaffected, remaining like a noble young master who stood apart from the world.
The Onmyoji Abe no Gen gently waved his folding fan, and an illusory magic circle appeared eight times above and below the Sugawara no Michizane statue!
"Go back to Takamagahara!" the Onmyoji Abe no Gen said to the bronze statue of Sugawara no Michizane.
Immediately, the magic circle emitted boundless and dazzling light. After the light dissipated, the Sugawara no Michizane statue was restored, with all the power of faith within it completely consumed.
Everyone stared at the elegant, noble-looking Onmyoji Abe no Gen, as if he were their savior!
Strictly speaking, for the soldiers at the American military base who were brutally beaten by Sugawara no Michizane, the appearance of the Onmyoji Abe no Gen was indeed a savior!
As the Sugawara no Michizane statue returned to normal, the false demons gradually disappeared.
"Oh~"
The American soldiers, who had narrowly escaped death, cheered as the problem was solved.
Seeing that the area was safe, some enthusiastic fans even rushed towards the Onmyoji Abe no Genji.
Su Fan had no intention of staying to continue being a monkey, so the Heavenly Dao used [Material Delivery] to send Su Fan away from this place.
Meanwhile, Japanese police officers put their skills to good use and began the post-war cleanup work.
The biggest losers in this battle were not the Japanese royal family, who brought out the Three Sacred Treasures.
Instead, it was the United States, so calling it an undeserved disaster wouldn't be an exaggeration. They were peacefully enjoying hotpot and singing songs at their base when they were suddenly sanctioned.
The combat level displayed by this bronze statue is no less than that of a well-equipped and well-trained modern army, and may even be better!
The reason why the United States has a hegemonic status is because of its strong military strength. As a result, the area where it is most proud is being repeatedly beaten by the other side.
What's unacceptable is that the other party is Japan, and what's even more unacceptable is that a country that could easily crush a military base was easily dealt with, as if slaughtering chickens and dogs!
This is practically a provocation against America's hegemonic status, yet they still can't understand the other side's line of thinking.
It's incomprehensible why a bronze statue could come back to life, even possess self-repairing abilities and the power to control lightning.
This was undoubtedly the most frustrating war the United States had ever fought since its founding.
The proud and mighty American army was defeated, and the opponent was none other than the country of Japan, which they both looked down upon.
At the dilapidated American military base in Japan, three out of ten soldiers have perished!
Even those who remain are mostly injured and not in good condition.
Even if these people don't understand the international situation, they still understand that the future is about to change!
"What a disgrace! This is utterly disgraceful! Our entire military base, with tens of thousands of troops, was defeated by a bronze statue!"
"Aren't we the guardians of the world? How did it become like this?!"
"I must be dreaming. This is all fake. It can't be real."
Even with the facts right in front of them, many American soldiers still refused to believe it and engaged in self-hypnosis.
As for the Japanese police force responsible for the search and rescue, they were unusually unyielding towards the Japanese army, instead showing a hint of disdain in their eyes and behaving rudely.
After all, admiring strength is a deeply ingrained cultural trait in Japan. Although admiring strength is human nature, the Japanese are clearly unparalleled in this regard.
In the past, the United States was militarily invincible. Even if you humiliated or despised us, we could pretend to be your cowards and act as your puppet troops.
Now that the myth of America's invincibility has been shattered, the attitude of the Japanese people has also made a complete 180-degree turn.
