As the picture jumps and changes, the mountains collapse, the earth collapses, and the wails of humans and the sound of falling rocks mix, playing a lament composed of blood and life.

Before the Brilliant Natural Disaster, the power of human beings seemed small and insignificant.

Uesugi Kiyoshi stood on the top of a crumbling mountain, biting his lip, his eyes like a storm brewing.

He crushed his silver teeth, and blood oozed from his lips.

While witnessing this catastrophe, memories poured out of the depths of his mind like a trickle--unlike the previous rough acceptance of the memory of the dog god, this time the memory fragments emerged, much more relaxed.

The faces of the earthquake died in his mind and became familiar.

Exiled alone, slaying demons, replacing them, painstakingly managing the territory, facing enemies on all sides, winning battles, Kanto heroes...

What the Lord of the Hundred Ghosts said just now gradually became clear, as if he had experienced it himself.

He looked up suddenly, but saw himself in the white robe, standing side by side with him, his eyes were also deep like water, and there were angry flames spreading.

"Ahh Even though I know that this is a phantom and this is a fake, I can't suppress my anger every time I see this scene..."

"Be an impotent weakling... How does it feel? ”

“...”

"Not good!"

Uesugi Kiyoshi almost squeezed out four words from between his teeth, and the words were like knives.

The Lord of the Hundred Ghosts shrugged his shoulders, and his face didn't look much better.

"You just watched it, and then unsealed a memory."

"And I, who have experienced it myself, is more painful than you, you are angry, don't spill it on me!"

"You know what's most important in this day and age?"

"Population! A fixed population is the cornerstone of all development. ”

"As I said, I have decreed to encourage marriage and childbearing."

"Musashi Country is such a big place, there are no more than 10,000 households, whoever has a wedding event, if I am not really busy and have no time to take a break, I will prepare a gift, come to congratulate you, you may not know the thinking of people in this era - they regard it as a very high honor."

"Congratulations to the lord of the kingdom!"

"They warmly welcomed me, and the newlyweds received my congratulations, all of them smiled, and they were full of hope for their future life."

"Because, compared to the previous youkai, I am indeed a lot stronger as a lord."

"They call me Lord of our country, and they call me Lord Yuan... Be respectful to me, obey me, and treat me like a god. ”

"This is my people."

"When the Seven Kingdoms came to invade, I didn't issue a wartime conscription order, and the young people who came to volunteer to join the army all broke through the threshold of the barracks."

"They don't want me to lose, they don't want their homes to be destroyed, they are willing to throw their heads and spill their blood for me..."

"But what about me?"

"I didn't protect them..."

Taking a deep breath, the tone of the Lord of the Hundred Ghosts became low.

"Thousands of miles of fertile land were destroyed in one fell swoop, half of Edo Castle collapsed, and more than 70% of the 10,000 civilians in Musashi were killed or wounded."

"My hard work for the past few years has been gone."

"Just because of an earthquake, just because of a monster that can cause an earthquake!"

"Maybe it's because of that damn modern thinking, I don't have any species resistance to monsters, I have always felt that people are good and bad, demons have good and evil, bad people should die, good monsters, why shouldn't they live?"

"But this time, it's the first time in my life that I hate a youkai so much."

"I can't wait... Frustrate it! Bone! Yang! Ash! ”

"Afterwards, I checked this matter, this earthquake catfish is the guardian spirit of Inari Shrine, and for some reason it suddenly went crazy, and it was an earthquake that was set off at all costs."

"I blocked it with Ah Chi on the beach, fought with him for three days and three nights, and used up the last of its strength and chopped it alive!"

"I don't care about the reason for his madness, just find the owner behind it."

"For example, if Achai goes out and bites people, I will be responsible, in the same way, that Inari Shrine, don't think about staying out of it!"

"Since then, all my territory is not allowed to worship the god Inari, I saw the Inari Shrine tear down one by one, and I smashed one of the white fox statues."

"My actions even alarmed the oracles of Takamagahara, who came to look for trouble, and were also frightened away by my swords, and frightened back - that's all for later."

Uesugi Kiyoshi squinted his eyes, although he felt that this move was a little impulsive, and the Inari Shrine might not be the culprit, but in this situation, he only felt relieved.

He has always been a man who repays kindness and blood for blood.

If you suffer a loss, you have to fight back.

"This earthquake is just the beginning..."

"Although the casualties were serious, this earthquake was only within the scope of Musashi Province, and I was already in charge of the eight countries of Kanto at that time, and although this kind of casualties were painful, they were not so painful."

"The loss of population can be slowly recovered, the land can be destroyed, it can be reclaimed, the city collapses, and it can be rebuilt."

"But..."

"The house leak happened to rain overnight..."

The lord of the hundred ghosts stomped his feet, the stars shifted, and the scenery changed.

The scene of the catastrophe that put great pressure on Uesugi Kiyoshi has changed.

He was in a tent at this time.

The Japanese military tent, called the "Jinmaku", is made of cloth and is connected with a curtain string, and the Jinmu curtain behind Uesugi Kiyoshi is on a black background, and it is embroidered with a brilliant and open gentian family pattern.

In this battle, when people looked at it from a distance, they knew that it was Genji's army, and it was clear whether it was friend or foe.

The sky at this time was light gray, and gloomy cumulonimbus clouds piled up on the dome, spreading, forming a large, impermeable net.

The air is humid and you can smell a distinct smell of sea.

The storm is coming.

Uesugi Kiyoshi sat on the main seat, and it was obvious that the atmosphere was not quite right.

The bloody atmosphere is so thick that it can't be dissolved, the armor of the eye-catching ashigaru or the generals is torn, the battle robes are stained with blood, and the blood-colored gentian patterns on the curtain are also a little dirty, obviously there has been a big war here.

There were only two people in front of him.

One is the ninja "Wind Demon" I saw before, and the other is the demon sword "Achi" who looks exactly like Maki Tofumi.

Wind Demon made a simple bandage on his left arm, obviously not lightly injured, bowed to Uesugi Kiyo, and walked out without a word.

Ah Chi just looked at him quietly, and had no desire to speak.

At this time, the voice of the Lord of the Hundred Ghosts sounded in his ears.

"As you can see, there is a wave of unevenness, and another wave rises."

"Before I could provide disaster relief and restore the cities and farmlands of Musashi Province, I received terrible news."

"Fishing villages along the coast, scouts reflect... Traces of youkai were discovered. ”

"This kind of thing, I would rather believe it than not, I will go to verify it immediately."

"The scout is right..."

"There are a lot of traces of yokai activity along the entire coastline of Kanto, and many fishing villages have been attacked."

“...”

"It's a Kraken."
