A Dimensional Journey Begins with the Dragon Clan

"boom--"

A violent explosion echoed throughout a U.S. military unit.

"What? This guy is... a foreign... soldier? Which country?"

Looking at the unconscious man in military uniform in front of him, Huang Luzhe couldn't help but feel a little confused.

"What is certain is that Jinso will drop a bomb on Huiyou, where only the strong ones are left. Then the purpose of destroying Huiyou will be achieved."

He couldn't help but think of the man's judgment.

"…Is it really as he said…?"

"Da da da--"

"Ahhh-"

Gunshots and screams could be heard in the distance.

This made Huang Luzhe even more certain that this was probably the bomb dropped by Juansuo.

"...Let the armed non-magicians... soldiers fight against the players who have returned from the Death Rebirth Tour, so as to activate the cursed power of the barrier and complete the rehearsal before assimilating with Tengen."

Li Mei looked at Junsuo and roughly guessed what the man was planning.

"That's roughly it, but if this is your entire plan, I can only give you 60 points." Juansuo laughed.

"Indeed, except for Tokyo and Sendai, the magic power of each barrier is still insufficient. Although I have persuaded each country to send troops to each barrier, the battle between the army and the magicians is not that fierce."

"The incarnation-type players are another matter. I think many awakening-type players are in a tough fight."

Juansuo said this while letting his cursed spirit clean up the corpses on the ground.

"No matter how strong the awakened players are, there are still quite a few who are resistant to killing. After suffering a certain degree of loss, the army will naturally withdraw. And the points gained by killing non-magicians are too low, so players should not pursue them relentlessly."

"...Is that so." Li Mei nodded slightly when she heard that.

"Did you notice?"

Juansuo asked, "The reason why I arranged for the army to move at night is to create some advantages for the soldiers."

"Even non-magicians can release a large amount of magical energy at the moment of death." Li Mei said, "Are foreigners no exception?"

"That's right. Even for foreigners who have no connection with cursed energy, there is a difference at the moment of death. Although the cursed energy is negligible, their 'death' can generate a load that is enough to cause mutations in the brain." Kinso explained.

"From the very beginning, you never intended to let the magicians and the army really fight." Li Mei finally understood Juansuo's intention.

"Even if they don't have to fight head-on, there are reasons why non-magicians can't win no matter what."

"All enchantments are infested with cursed spirits, and the night is their home turf."

···········
"I'm afraid that Juansuo's purpose is to use cursed spirits to massacre non-magicians on a large scale!" On the other side, the angel also judged Juansuo's purpose.

"Why!?"

"As a safety measure in case the cursed power of the Bankai participating in the Death and Annihilation Tour cannot fill up the barrier!"

"Even so! But how can we get thousands of ordinary people to pour into the barrier?"

"…Maybe this is all my fault."

"It's just because I'm so popular that my fans are crazy about me," said Gao Yu Shiyan.

"..."

The rest were speechless.

"It's better not to joke around at this serious moment."

"Sorry~"

Just as everyone was on their way, a stun bomb was suddenly thrown towards Xuan Hao.

"!"

Xuan Hao was slightly stunned, but he still reacted and kicked him away.

Soon, they were surrounded by heavily armed troops.

"Who are you!?"

Gao Yu Fumihiko looked at the soldiers in front of him and asked puzzledly.

"The non-magicians who invaded the barrier turned out to be soldiers!?"

Fushiguro Megumi looked at these people and judged in his heart, "They are not the Self-Defense Forces! What is their purpose! To protect the humans in the barrier!? But they just dropped a stun bomb--"

Chu tu tu tu——

While he was thinking, the other party had already opened fire.

"Wow ah ah-"

Gao Yu Fumihiko dances in the barrage.

The rest of the people quickly found shelter and hid.

"They opened fire... It seems they are not here to protect us..."

Fushiguro Megumi thought, "We can only let them tell us the answer in person..."

···········
After a while, the soldiers were subdued by the crowd.

"I don't know the details. I'm just a small soldier."

The captured soldier replied.

"I heard from above that they want to study the thing you use, called cursed power or something, and plan to turn it into a new type of alternative energy."

"Is he Japanese?" the angel asked Takahashi Fumihiko.

"He's a local guide. In short, he's a traitor."

As he spoke, Gao Yu Fumihiko stepped forward, grabbed the man by the collar and said indignantly, "You traitor!!"

"You really want to try out the feeling of saying the word 'traitor', right? But now please shut up..." the angel complained speechlessly.

"Research is being conducted so that our citizens can achieve personal energy self-sufficiency in the future..." Fushiguro Megumi murmured after hearing the information he obtained.

"Huh?" Xuan Hao was a little confused.

"So far, this kind of argument has never appeared in Japan, which makes people feel incredible." Angel expressed his doubts.

"To put it bluntly, the top of this country is the Curse General Administration Department," the soldier explained. "Those conceited guys are unlikely to take the lead in popularizing cursed power. The higher the position, the greater the responsibility. This concept will never take root in Japan, where the 'self-responsibility theory' is prevalent."

"...Could it be that Kinso is planning to use the new energy as bait to lure the non-magician army into the barrier and offer it as tribute to the cursed spirits?" Fushiguro Megumi broke out in sweat.

"Use the cursed power released by a large number of humans at the moment of death to fill up each barrier. In this way, the previous rehearsal for the assimilation of the people of this country with Tianyuan will be completed." said the angel.

"To pull this amount of people into the various barriers? How is it possible?" Fushiguro Megumi found it a little hard to believe.

"That person is very versatile and eloquent. I'm afraid he has deployed troops from several countries."

"Using complicated rules to turn the Death Reborn Tour into a death game is also to prevent someone from guessing this situation in advance?"

"Let's go save them." Xuan Hao suggested lightly.

"We want to save those soldiers? They are planning to kidnap us and do something with our bodies?" Gao Yu Fuyan was a little surprised. "Maybe they will do something unspeakable to us."

"But if we leave it alone, by the time the 'exercise' is over, the people of this country might merge with Lord Tengen," said Fushiguro Megumi.

"I don't quite understand the specific situation." Gao Yu Shiyan was a little embarrassed.

"No."

At this moment, the soul within the angel asserted.

"A total of 50 players died in the Tokyo First and Second Barriers. This Tokyo First Barrier has been filled with cursed energy."

"So what? So what?" Xuan Hao was a little confused.

"There's no point in you doing this."

"Whether you rescue those soldiers from the cursed spirits or not, the result will be the same."

"So, what?" Xuan Hao asked again. "Hua and I have a symbiotic relationship. The risks she has to take are also my risks. Don't drag her into a meaningless fight."

"Stop interfering, I don't trust you." Xuan Hao said calmly.

"?" Fushiguro Megumi was a little confused.

"..."

"From just now... were you talking to the angel? Or to me? Anyway... I'm very unhappy." The angel and the host reached a consensus at this moment.

···········
Somewhere in the barrier, cursed spirits were brutally slaughtering ignorant non-magicians - soldiers from various countries.

"I am a soldier and I have already prepared myself for sacrifice."

"I may fall to the bullets fired by terrorists at some point, or I may die from stepping on a landmine in the desert at any time."

“I don’t know when, but it could happen at any time.”

"But this is different. I don't want to die like this...!!!"

Looking at the monster in front of him, the soldier's eyes were filled with fear.

···········
"This isn't like you."

Fushiguro Megumi said to Xuan Hao who was taking action.

"……Yeah?"

Xuanhao responded indifferently.

"...Let's not talk about what you mentioned first." Fushiguro Megumi said, "'You' refer to the angels and Sukuna, right?"

···········
"Oh God... the angel came to guide me to heaven..."

Just when the soldiers felt despair, an angel appeared.

···········
"If it were your normal self, you would be more considerate of Kurusu's feelings," said Fushiguro Megumi.

"After I met up with you, I was wondering..." Xuanhao responded calmly, "Will Kurusu become the replacement for Kugisaki? This scares me."

"…What nonsense are you talking about?" Fushiguro Megumi frowned slightly when he heard this.

"…I'll apologize to her later."

"You really should apologize."

"Is there something you want to say?"

At this moment, the angel, or Kurusu, had successfully rescued the soldier and returned to them.

"The last frame is mine!!"

Of course Gao Yu completed his mission and returned.

···········
Meanwhile, the 'drill' is going on, and the entire archipelago will be transferred to the other side!!
Outside the boundary.

"?"

"Feeling uncomfortable?"

"Is the anti-white draft too dry?"

Even ordinary people began to feel something unusual was happening.

"Have you cleaned the dust filter thoroughly?"

"Brother, if you haven't washed it, then it's gone."

Suddenly, someone began to tremble inexplicably.

"?"

"what happened?"

············
On the 16th.

noon.

"If it's just the end of the drill, it's fine."

Zenin Maki came to the barrier here and found Xuanhao and others.

"But according to the man who claimed to be Brother Xuanhao, Lord Tianyuan was captured by Juansuo."

"!!"

Everyone was slightly surprised when they heard this.

"Zhang Xiang... Where is Miss Jiujiu?"

"The scene at the high school was horrific. There is only one thing that is certain, Kinso is still alive... So!!"

"Miss Jiujiu, who is at the same level as Yuta, is still no match for Kinsoku even if she joins forces with Jiuxiangtu and Lord Tianyuan."

"Although I've known for a long time that Juansuo is very powerful, the facts have proven that it's impossible to deal with him with ordinary methods..."

"It's a blessing in disguise that the prison gate was not damaged."

Everyone looked at Zenin Maki's story and was slightly surprised.

She said such a big thing, but she was really calm...

In just a few days, he became a completely different person.

Maki-sister...

What on earth happened?

"Then why hasn't assimilation started?" Xuan Hao asked.

"The sorcerer should be able to resist assimilation under the influence of cursed power. So there is no impact inside the barrier, but the outside world has been assimilated." The angel explained.

"No, some people with weak immunity 'fell ill' when they were not working, which caused a certain degree of public attention, but overall Japan is still the same as before." Zenin Maki, who came from the outside world, spoke lightly about the situation.

"I don't know what the reason is. Is it impossible to start assimilation? Or does he not intend to assimilate?" asked Megumi Fushiguro.

"We can't think of any answers to these questions no matter how hard we try, right?" Xuan Hao said, "For now, let's just focus on solving the problem of the Tsumiki barrier."

"Why didn't the seniors add additional rules immediately?" he asked puzzledly.

"Haven't we already decided on the additional rules?"

"1. Transfer of points. 2. Entering and exiting the barrier. 3. Communicating inside and outside the barrier. 4. Escape from death and return. That's basically it, right?"

"Speaking of this... Let's talk about 1 first," said Fushiguro Megumi. "If the scores of the participants in the Death and Annihilation Tour do not change on the th day, they will be deprived of the technique. The 'deprivation' here directly affects the brain, so it means 'death' in reality. In short, the purpose is to force the players to kill each other."

"Therefore, in order to avoid infighting and to allow for changes in points, additional rules were added to allow for the transfer of points. Xuanhao has already added this rule."

"Actually, it was completed by a Japanese car." Xuan Hao said.

"The problem is 2 and 3, adding rules that allow humans and radio waves to freely enter and exit the barrier." Zenin Maki said.

"Any questions?"

"Players are currently unable to enter or exit the barrier."

"But I can." Kurusu raised his hand.

"This is very confusing." Zenin Maki nodded slightly.

"'I' refers to the angel's technique," Kurusu explained.

"Can it work on someone other than yourself?"

"That's not easy to do." The angel explained on Kurusu's behalf, "If you want to use my technique to destroy the barrier, you must first destroy the source of the barrier. Since we don't know where it is, we are the only ones who can enter and exit the barrier freely."

"It's true that good things take time." Zenin Maki sighed, "Whatever. Regarding 2 and 3, the general rule of death and return did not mention prohibiting players from entering and leaving the radio waves from the beginning."

"Are you really discussing Motokawa Makoto!?" Gao Yu suddenly shouted from the rooftop.

"What the hell is that?" Zenin Maki was interrupted and looked at him with some confusion.

"Ignore him." Xuanhao motioned for her to continue. (End of this chapter)
