I planted a sacred tree in Tokyo

"Big news, this is really big news."

After a certain "news king" live-broadcasted the "corpse" of Mannoroth at close range, he did not leave America, but rushed to Rio Rancho City and stepped into the church guarded by many extraordinary people wearing black robes with red clouds and masks.

"Should I address you as Luigi, or Lord?"

In the church, there was only a figure with his back to him.

The figure was emitting a bright white light, and just standing calmly under the cross, he gave people a feeling of being awe-inspiring and inviolable.

Ghost level!

KYG narrowed his eyes.

He follows Kanihime every day, and occasionally meets with Otakemaru, so he is extremely sensitive to the aura of the strong; this is also the reason why he can shuttle between various battlefields and still be alive and kicking until now. Moreover -

The other party did not hide, or had no way to hide, this powerful spiritual power!

"Please feel free, Mr. KYG."

Luigi turned around, revealing a face that was familiar to journalists; but he didn't know if it was KYG's illusion, but he felt that the newly promoted ghost-level extraordinary person in front of him was full of compassion.

"You are the 'News King' of this world. I would like to ask for your cooperation in something."

"It's to promote your name, right?"

KYG is not afraid of the opponent, because he has the Sea Country behind him: with the combat power of two ghosts and two dragons, he is not afraid of anyone unless it is a top monster.

"Exactly."

Luigi nodded slightly.

In fact, the propaganda agency under his command is enough to spread his reputation.

But there is one thing: if KYG, the 'King of News', comes out to 'refute the rumors', it will deal a huge blow to his reputation.

Luigi doesn't care about reputation, but if he doesn't have enough faith, he can't suppress the pollution of the extraordinary characteristics in his body, and Mannoroth who is ready to resist at any time: if he hadn't designed a battle between the two sides in the mental space, both sides would be injured; now he would have lost control, either turned into a monster, or become the new Fire Lord.

"I need people's faith, Mr. KYG, for the future of mankind."

"learn,"

KYG nodded.

The island nation came up with the 'Huojin God', which also follows the path of the power of faith.

Even though he was beaten by the Duke of Yan Yang, it doesn't mean he is not strong: at least KYG knows that Chuan and Mai are still alive - it's just a 'change of generation'.

In his opinion, Luigi wanted to go down this path as well, to which the News King simply shrugged.

"I will let my people cooperate with you, but——"

KYG turned around and prepared to leave and added:

"The road you are going to take is not an easy one."

"Good luck."

It not only refers to the path of faith, but also the path of 'salvation'.

"Thank you very much,"

After KYG left, Sekus came in and bowed to report.

"Lord, what should be done with those who drank the 'Blood of Fire' imprisoned in Seattle?"

During the battle with Mannoroth, they controlled a group of people who had just drunk the "Blood of Fire"; now that everything has settled, they have taken the time to deal with this problem.

"Bring them here and let them absolve themselves of their mistakes."

Secchus continued to ask respectfully,

"One of the young men had a mother who was seriously ill and dying."

It was also good luck that half of Seattle remained because of filial piety.

“Provide them with treatment.”

Luigi answered without thinking. In theory, they had already betrayed humanity, but they had not had time to do evil, so they could still make amends. Otherwise, no matter if they fell into the hands of the Grand Commander or the Holy Church, they would only have one way to go, and that was death.

"I will obey your will,"

Just as Secus was about to leave, Luigi suddenly called him.

"What's the name of that young man?"

"Sauron,"

"Soren Amedici."

On the other side, California.

There is a solemn atmosphere on Mount San Antonio, which has been completely transformed into a erupting volcano.

Facing the existence before them, the Fire Lords all knelt on one knee.

Because the one with his back to them was Duke Yan Yang!

"Father, I'm sorry to disappoint you."

Akash, the eldest son, spoke first, and the man with a romantic and wandering look bowed his head deeply.

"Please give us a little time, we will wash away this shame with fire!"

If these guys hadn't fought on their own, Mannoroth wouldn't have died: no matter what, the Burning Legion had the advantage in combat power.

The result was a chaotic fight. Apart from not pulling each other down, they were simply a group of laymen.

"Old father,"

"I will personally twist off the human head that killed Mannoroth!"

Katrina, who had a huge meteor hammer beside her, also looked up and swore, no matter how much they quarreled, they were all from the Fire Demon clan, and they would never agree to be killed by humans!

"In that case, the battle here is left to you."

Duke Yan Yang didn't even turn his head back, and suddenly turned into a ray of light and shot towards the west, leaving behind only a few faint words.

“Don’t let me down.”

"Father is gone,"

Dubra, who looked like a little priest girl, thought about it.

"If I were the island government, I would definitely recall the extraordinary person codenamed 'Shura' as soon as possible."

In fact, the island government asked Youjun to take action and directly teleport Xiao back.

I'm afraid of being killed by Duke Yan Yang.

"What should we do then?"

Without Mannoroth who usually gave the command, Katrina, a leather-clad girl who could only charge, was at a loss on the spot.

"Let's continue with Mannoroth's plan first."

The eldest son Akash pushed up his brown sunglasses.

"Convert a large number of humans into our 'Fire Demon Clan' as our vassal army."

On the one hand, it can increase their military strength; on the other hand, these transformed "fire demons" have much higher IQs than ordinary fire creatures.

He can completely serve as a mid-level commander and staff officer to solve the problem of them fighting in a swarm without any order.

With Mannoroth dead, the Fire Lords began to get serious.

Duke Yan Yang did not personally take action because -

"A troublesome little human girl,"

Returning to Sun Island, Duke Yan Yang couldn't help but feel a headache when he saw the huge pits below.

He asked his children to check, and found out that Jiukong Yaoai could indeed be resurrected. Some time ago, in an island country, he resurrected a bunch of big monsters from a certain "demi-plane" and had a chaotic battle with the great Onmyoji Abe Haruaki. In the end, he was beaten away in one move, and those big monsters collapsed on the spot.

This information was still confidential, but it was not unknown; as a result, Duke Yan Yang was afraid to act rashly.

Jiukong Yaoai is not afraid that he will kill Xiao, as long as he can be reborn into the world immediately after killing him.

But Duke Yan Yang does not have this ability.

If Jiukong Yaoai was shameless and launched a surprise attack on the 'Flame Lord' under his command, there would surely be heavy casualties.

Well, let the children go and gain experience.

The King of Fighters Demiplane,

“Hoo~Hoo~~”

The girl, who was sweating profusely from training, just stopped to catch her breath when a snapping sound was heard next to her.

"Don't stop! You're far from reaching your limit!"

Iori Kazuka, holding a stick, waved the "spiritual stick" in his hand with an angry voice, forcing Shimizu Ami to continue, hitting the puppet in front of her with "soft fist" over and over again.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Under Iori Kazuka's "stick education", poor Shimizu Ami squeezed out all the exercise she had in the previous month;

There were many images before my eyes, and my hands and feet seemed not to be my own.

"Not enough, not enough!"

But who is Iori Kazuka?

She was a person who advocated solving problems with violence. Besides, she was a master at the level of Qianghu, so she knew the girl's physical condition very well. Adhering to the spirit of "training to death if not dead", she began the real hellish training.

"Come on! Let me see where your limit is?"

???

She was so numb that she didn't even have the thought of "dying". Shimizu Ami just punched mechanically.

If she doesn't move on her own, Yihua doesn't mind using a stick to assist her.

“Oh, what a nostalgic scene.”

Mr. Big, wearing a bald head, sunglasses, and a suit coat, stepped into the training room and couldn't help but sigh.

"It reminds me of my time in the army—"

And Gis, who came with him, laughed directly,

"Oh, when she gets beaten like a dead dog, she'll know how to punch hard."

In the eyes of these two gangsters, Shimizu Ami is completely "not knowing how lucky he is": Mr. Big had to fight on the battlefield, and Gis had to go through untold hardships to become a disciple of Baji. In order to gain power, they have suffered a lot.

It is precisely because of their past experiences that they are so eager for power.

And this girl, just by drinking a bottle of medicine, gained the "Chi" that others had practiced for many years; and looking at Iori Kazuka's precious energy, she even sent two fighters to serve as bodyguards for Shimizu Ami, so we know that she has other secrets.

In fact, Shimizu Ami's progress was rapid, and she was already able to easily defeat several gangsters.

Even the gangsters have spiritual powers: that is, they are all dog-level.

"You two came here together, is there something going on?"

Facing Yihua who was coming,

Giss pulled out a stack of papers and handed them to her.

"96th King of Fighters Tournament, list of participating teams?"

Yihua took the document, which contained information about each team, along with photos.

"Island team?"

The first to be hit was a team that left Yihua stunned.

Yes,

This world also has the concept of country.

"This team has won the King of Fighters title twice."

After all, they are collaborators and they still need Yihua and his team to contribute, so Gis explained conscientiously:

"Captain Kusanagi Kyo is the current head of the Kusanagi family, an ancient martial arts family from the island country. He can melt gold and boil iron with his Red Flame, and combined with Kusanagi's fluid technique, he is very powerful!"

Pointing to the young man with regular features and a righteous face in the photo. There was a reason why he was introduced so carefully by Giss: after all, this Kusanagi Kyo has never been defeated since he started fighting, and he won the King of Fighters championship twice in a row, all thanks to him.

As for his teammates, Goro Daimon and Benimaru Nikaido, they are just thigh pendants and not worth mentioning.

Crash,

Yihua, who had noted down the other person's characteristics, turned to the second article.

What he saw was a crazy man with red hair covering one eye, wearing a dark suit, red trousers, and a red leather belt between his legs.

"This guy's name is 'Iori Yagami',"

Gis pointed at the man with unusual clothing and a unique hairstyle.

"Rumor has it that he is Kusanagi Kyo's nemesis, and his strength should not be underestimated. However, his two teammates are said to be the secretaries of the black market merchant Lucard, so I don't think they are that strong either."

Rugal is a dark businessman who controls the black market for weapons, drugs, and other things in this world. He was the organizer of the first two King of Fighters tournaments, but after being defeated by Kyo, he and his own aircraft carrier were blown to ashes.

That’s right, this gangster boss owns his own aircraft carrier.

"Next up is the Hungry Wolves,"

At this point in the introduction, a complex expression flashed across Gis’s face.

Terry and Andy from the Hungry Wolf Team were the adopted sons of his former good brother Jeff. It was also these two people who knocked him down to Gist and he escaped by pretending to be dead.

"Terry is the strongest, the others are nothing to be afraid of."

After a brief introduction, Gis motioned for Yihua to turn to the next page:

There were two men and one woman, all wearing karate uniforms with the word "Extreme" embroidered on their chests, so their identities were self-evident.

"The Dragon and Tiger Team, the head of Kyokyu-ryu Karate, Ryo Sakazaki, his sister Yuri Sakazaki, and his 'brother-in-law' Robert."

As he spoke, Gis glanced at Mr. Big, who had a bald head and sunglasses next to him.

"Well, I was careless."

As a BOSS that was defeated by the Extreme Flow, Mr. Big's words were not very confident; if he fought again, he would most likely lose.

"Next up is the 'New Women's Fighter Team,'"

Speaking of this team, Gis gave a mocking smile.

"Well, they are the 'special guests'. After all, we have to show our gentlemanly manners - especially this time, there is only Mai Shiranui participating, I wonder where she found these two girls from."

In Gis's opinion, this team was just here to make up the numbers.

But Yihua was stunned when he saw the photo.

Isn't this the president of Hongo?

Yihua glanced strangely at Gis and Mr. Big beside him, and observed a second of silence for them.

If they were to go up against President Hongo, I'm afraid these two guys would suffer a great loss.

Mr. Big's strength is between the tiger level and the ghost level. Gis is stronger, but his strength is limited and can only be regarded as a weak ghost level.

Although President Hongo has been "demoted", she was once a strong ghost after her transformation; and she also specializes in physical skills - this world is like a fish in water for her.

“Although the remaining Super Power Team, Angry Team, and Gold Team are strong, that’s all.”

After introducing several major participating teams, Gis looked confident.

"Our goal is to defeat them!"

"When the final comes, facing Kusanagi Kyo, the Eight Heroes will definitely not be able to resist taking action. By then—"

Hunt down the Eight Heroes and seize the 'Blood of the Great Snake'!

"I understand your plan."

Iori Kazuka closed the information in his hand. This so-called King of Fighters competition was indeed full of strong people: every contestant was at the tiger level.

Well, let her meet these famous fighters from the "demi-plane".

The 96 King of Fighters Tournament starts!
