Chapter 128: Underground Roots

Just when the conference call of the leaders of various countries was held, Tokyo was covered in red earth by Mio Ito's blood-colored frenzy.

On the other side, in the bay dozens of nautical miles away from the Yokosuka Military Port, over the "Lambry", Mio Ito's body floated in the air, and the mental power from Manami Mizuhara made her grasp the world around her more clearly.

The "tentacles" of the telekinetic power stretched out, and at this moment, Mio Ito seemed to be separated from this place and Tokyo, and the sea of blood that spread from the Diet building and the body standing in mid-air here and now were firmly connected by a backbone.

"I ......

“…… i.e. everything ......"

Mio Ito opened her arms.

It was as if the whole world was surrendering to her feet at this moment.

If at the beginning, before she fused with Manami Mizuhara, her total strength value was one hundred, then after fusing Manami Mizuhara and breaking the limit of life and soul, her value soared to more than five hundred in an instant.

And on the other side, as the prime minister, she integrated the entire Diet Hall and the entire Tokyo Metropolitan City outside the Council Hall, and tens of millions of people into herself-

Now she has increased nearly 100 times on this basis, and her strength has been 100 times that of her original self.

If you measure it by the "evolution level" formulated by Xi Gu, she has now reached the height of one hundred and sixty levels.

On today's earth, in addition to Xiya himself and his Shenmu clone, Mio Ito is the third strongest person in the world.

…… Of course, there is still an essential gap between her and the first two.

Despite this, when he climbed to such a height, Mio Ito was infinitely close to the appearance of a god in the minds of ordinary people.

The aftermath of the nuclear warheads of those four missiles has not been completely broken.

The intense nuclear radiation made the waters near the "Lambry" seem to have turned into a Jedi.

But those strong radiation and electromagnetic pulses don't seem to have any effect on Mio Ito, even if an ordinary person only needs to stay in this position for a few seconds, he will suffer from leukemia and other radiation diseases, and if he stays in this position for a minute, his body will be distorted, and if he stays for ten minutes, his whole body will ulcerate in large areas.

However, the telekinetic force covers the whole body, as fine as a net, and as isolated as a cover, allowing Mio Ito to be completely insulated from radiation contact.

Even...... While reading the power of motion, she also had a glimpse of the trajectory of radiation and electromagnetism.

Hot, Thorn, Wave, Jump, Shift, Diffuse......

The world around me turned into a huge picture and presented in Ito's mind.

The power sinks into the ocean, and everything it perceives becomes everything that is clearly visible "in front of it".

- Oxygen molecules in seawater, moving slowly in the gaps between water droplets. As it moves, the swaying fish skim by quickly, oxygen molecules enter the body through gills breathing, move through blood cells, and exhale carbon dioxide molecules dissolve in the water......

And just below the swimming fish, in the deeper sea, under the rock and soil formed over thousands of years, the magma in the earth's crust silently accumulates fiery energy, like a huge swimming dragon diving, looking at everything in the outside world with red eyes......

- The telekinesis continued to probe, and the perception declined, which was beneath the conglomerate and lava, and the hard minerals and shimmering crystals formed a huge cavity, and with the arrival of the telekinetic force, those cavities were stimulated by the traces of the telekinetic force to beat the sound of the distant voice, like an independent world...... In that cavity of veins and crystals, everything seems to be frozen in it......

- The diffusion of mental power is about to reach its limit, and although it can continue, the further down it goes, the closer it gets to the center of the earth, and then the more monotonous and repetitive the hot world......

Just when Mio Ito wanted to retract her mental power, a strange perception suddenly captured her.

That's the pulse of life.

Just around the corner, there are signs of activity.

- However, the telekinetic power has sunk to the bottom of the sea tens of thousands of meters below, how can there be life in such a hell?

As soon as the stunned feeling emerged, a familiar feeling came over Mio Ito's heart.

She continued to manipulate the telekinesis to spread along the veins in the rock formations.

Thereupon.

She "saw" it.

It was a strip of roots, tens of thousands of meters below the ground.

Even now, when the power of thought is about to reach its limit, it still hasn't been able to reach the end of those roots.

They are like swords piercing into the ground, carelessly piercing through the incomparably hard veins and rocks, not afraid of water, fire, water, or magma, and everything in the ground seems to be just its food.

And those roots are thus snare under the land, although they are located thousands or even tens of thousands of meters lower than the area of human activity.

But the world on earth is like a weak kingdom countless times lower than them, and as long as those roots move slightly, it will be a disaster that destroys the country and sinks the land.

Even Mio Ito......

Even if it's her......

Even if all the forces of the present are brought together, they may not be as powerful as the smallest of these roots.

Shudder......

A heartfelt tremor came from the bottom of my heart.

The moment she "saw" them, Mio Ito understood why.

Understand where they come from.

The arrogance of the self-proclaimed gods is gone.

All that is left in my heart is the fear that seems to be the instinct of life.

“…… That's what it is......

“…… Your real body? ”

Since gaining the ability of "flesh and blood resonance", since leaving the "Sugoku Bookstore", for the first time in the past few months, Mio Ito asked quietly about that distant existence.

The voice that seemed to be laughing but not laughing sounded in my head:

“…… That's part of me. Now that you can 'see' this place without my active help, your growth rate is really amazing. ”

"Even so, it's not as good as you, the 'Suen Imperial God'."

Mio Ito said lightly in her heart.

"I've now come to this point by merging the lives of tens of millions of people in Tokyo, and the presence of Manami Mizuhara...... I could feel that I was about to reach new limits—but even if mine could break through them, and even assimilate all of humanity into my world, it would be a hundred times more powerful at best......

“…… Even at that time, I couldn't compare to the 'you' I see now...... in terms of strength. Not to mention who I am now. ”

"Discouraged?"

The voice of the presence asked with interest.

"Discouraged?"

Mio Ito tilted her head, but suddenly laughed.

"How so?"

Although he is still in awe, he has an awe-inspiring temperament.

“…… The power of the gods is so powerful, it shines like the sun. But what I want to do is not to be the sun...... What I want to be is just the light itself. The light that allows all to join, the light that can pervade everyone—the beauty and ugliness, and the eternal existence.

“…… So, as long as there is a road ahead, I will keep going. ”

This concludes the dialogue.

The telekinetic force is withdrawn.

“……”

Mio Ito gently stretched out her hand.

Press again.

Just as Moses parted the sea, the cruiser under Mio Ito, along with the sea area under the hull, appeared a hole in this instant.

Cavities with a diameter of more than 100 meters.

- and then, the hollow turned into a whirlpool, burying the entire Lambry in the sea.

The whirlpools slowly filled, the waters swarmed in, and the sea returned to calm as if nothing had happened.

And the next moment, her body suddenly disappeared.

At the same time, from the position where he was standing in mid-air, thousands of red lines that were difficult to see with the naked eye shot out, and at a speed of more than dozens of times the speed of sound, they shot towards the Yokosuka military port.
