Chapter 16 The Last Bushido Spirit
The questioning comments were immediately drowned out by angry rebuttals from Chinese netizens.
"Internal strife? You mean our protest against the inactive prime minister is internal strife? What does he take you for? He takes you for a troublemaker!"
"This kind of person has too weak knees; they're prone to kneeling when they see the Prime Minister!"
"But when he saw that the Holy Lord was summoned by the Dragon Kingdom, his chest hardened, and he stopped listening to anything."
"Lu Shuren, a scholar from China, once studied in Japan. After returning home, he wrote an article on 'borrowing from others.' Who would have thought that years later, our country would also produce such fools, mediocre people, idiots, and morons!"
After refuting the "skepticism" and "rationalism" within Japan, these people also sincerely went to the Holy Lord's post.
"Thank you, Holy Lord, for revealing the truth!"
"The Holy Lord is an A-rank divine beast! How could His words be false?"
"The Holy Lord is a demon, so naturally He cannot tolerate ferocious beasts that are inferior to Him. Such petty tricks are beneath His Holiness!"
"Our Holy Lord is truly honest! He dares to speak the truth!"
"Justice will prevail!"
Although Lin Sheng is an A-level divine beast and the guardian deity of the Dragon Kingdom, he did not become arrogant in the face of these "fans'" praise.
Instead, they actively gave them thumbs up.
Lin Sheng is having a blast liking and reading comments here.
Suddenly, a phone call came in.
Seeing the name displayed on the screen made Lin Sheng hesitant to be careless, so he quickly clicked to answer the call.
"Greetings, Holy Lord! Are you busy?"
A warm, approachable voice rang out.
"Greetings, sir!"
Lin Sheng looked at the constantly refreshing barrage of comments on his phone and hesitated before speaking.
"I'm busy, but it's nothing serious! It's nothing, nothing at all!"
"Please feel free to give any instructions, sir."
The old man said "Oh," and then said...
"My Lord, I heard you revealed the truth online?"
Lin Sheng was somewhat embarrassed.
After all, this matter was not discussed with the superior.
If Japan reacts, Yamamoto will be much more assertive.
It would not cause a diplomatic incident between the two countries.
What should we do?
Lin Sheng would feel really bad if he brought anything bad to the Dragon Kingdom.
Just as Lin Sheng fell silent, not yet having figured out how to speak...
The old man's tone was firm and serious.
"Holy Lord, I know how much courage it takes to reveal the truth."
Upon hearing this, Lin Sheng's eyes widened in surprise. "Ah?!"
"You did a great job today!"
"Not only do we have to face the rebuttals of those who question us, but we also have to deal with the incomprehension of those around us. It's a really difficult situation."
"On one side is the oppression of dark forces, and on the other is a sincere and righteous heart. I understand your predicament."
The leader's words left Lin Sheng even more bewildered.
He pointed to himself.
"I?"
Are you referring to me, a fire demon with a dragon's head, a human body, a burly build, a face like a sharp knife, a crocodile mouth, sharp teeth and claws, and prominent pectoral muscles?
Lin Sheng scratched his head, thinking to himself, "I didn't realize I was this great."
The leader continued.
"That's right, it's you!"
"Don't worry, China will always be your strong support, and we will always support you."
"Go ahead and do it with confidence!"
"Normally, you only stay in the country, fulfilling your duties and making great contributions."
"Of course, there's nothing wrong with that."
"But after all, your global perspective, your willingness to question, and your contribution to building a community with a shared future for mankind—these qualities open up a whole new world!"
"Do you understand?"
"hiss!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Sheng felt doubtful, or rather, certain.
The leader wanted to be like him.
Great minds think alike.
Lin Sheng grinned mischievously.
"Understood."
"Sir, I understand."

Japan is currently in a situation like a powder keg about to explode.
Internal troubles include public anger and questioning, while external threats include a tussock beetle eroding the land.
Once ignited, it will cause a huge explosion!
Prime Minister Yamamoto saw this message from the Holy Lord.
His legs went weak instantly, and he collapsed to the ground.
"Disgrace!"
"This is blatant slander!"
"Baka yarou, that demon is dead, dead!"
He looked at the ministers with pleading and urgent eyes.
But what he didn't expect was—
The ministers' gazes were as cold as frost.
The way he looked at me
It was like looking at a dead person.
It was as if he was saying that this was what he deserved.
This is the blame he should take.
……
You can't get rid of it.
The public needs an outlet for their frustrations.
The Yamata no Orochi's desire to devour the woman needs to be satisfied.
It's now placed on the table.
Furthermore, the Holy Lord very cleverly separated the ministers from the Prime Minister.
All it takes is to push the prime minister out.
The anger of the people can be quelled.
They could also openly seek out women to sacrifice to the Yamata no Orochi.
Even if the public knows.
They wouldn't care too much.
Or rather, under the immense pressure of the Earth-Eating Armor, sacrificing a few beautiful women is not a big deal.
They can also escape perfectly.
Three birds with one stone!
In fact, they already had this idea.
The Holy Lord inadvertently angered the people.
Unexpectedly, going with the flow actually helped them out.
Prime Minister Yamamoto's pupils contracted slightly.
Familiar faces from everyday life.
It has become completely unfamiliar.
"Matsushita Taro, please say something for me!"
"Yamazaki, please help me! You know, the Holy Lord is slandering me!"
"Kimoto Tadashi, you know this doesn't really concern me, right?"
"Huh? Is that right?"
"Is this correct?"
"Baka!"
This morning, Prime Minister Yamamoto was high and mighty, dressed impeccably; now he's sprawled on the ground, screaming hysterically.
"Click-clack..."
Eventually, his voice gradually became hoarse and he could no longer make a sound.
In the eyes,
He was no longer angry.
There was no time left to hate the Holy Lord.
He doesn't even blame the Holy Lord anymore.
But... he didn't want to die!
Suddenly, he turned his head sharply, staring intently at the Yamata no Orochi, his voice filled with anticipation.
"You...will help me, right?"
"A mythical beast!"
The Yamata no Orochi flicked its tongue and simply shook its head.
"You know you're no longer of any use."
"I won't help you."
---
The last glimmer of hope in Yamamoto's eyes was completely extinguished.
I... have nowhere to retreat.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
"You swarm of insects!"
"Hahahaha! I am Susanoo!"
"I am the Emperor of Cherry Blossoms!"
Yamamoto trembled all over, shouting excitedly like a madman, completely losing his usual composure.
"That's enough!"
"Stop pretending to be crazy!"
Matsushita Taro drew the sword from the admiral beside him.
"I hope the spirit of Bushido still exists."
"I'm giving you a chance to commit seppuku!"
With that, Matsushita Taro threw the sword over.
"Bang bang bang..."
Yamamoto did not go to pick him up.
The sword fell to the ground with a clang, the echo reverberating throughout the palace.
a long time.
His Excellency the Prime Minister tremblingly picked up his sword, muttering to himself.
"The spirit of Bushido..."
"The spirit of Bushido..."
"Ah! I am Susanoo! I will slay the great serpent!"
Suddenly.
The Prime Minister turned his head, charged forward, raised his sword, and then thrust it forcefully into the hard, serpentine scales!
