Tokyo: My Superpower Refreshes Every Week-Chapter 643 - 641: Japan in Turmoil

This is an incredibly spectacular sight, as if the dormant lake god has awakened, turning the tranquil lake surface into a churning sea of clouds.

The sky was dyed the color of water, becoming deep and mysterious.

A school of fish swam toward the sky along the current.

After a brief shock, Yonezawa Tomohiro quickly remembered that he couldn't just stand there; he had to record a short video to show his family and friends online.

He hurriedly discarded the fishing rod in his hand and took out his phone from his bag, activating the video recording function, "Look, the water from Lake Yamanaka is flying into the sky!"

In his thirties, Yonezawa Tomohiro spoke with an excitement akin to a child at the age of seven or eight celebrating New Year.

He then turned the camera back to Lake Yamanaka—there wasn't a drop of water left, the bottom was full of silt, trash, aquatic plants, and some fish that hadn't ascended with the lake water, struggling in the muddy ground.

Yonezawa Tomohiro didn't feel like running down to catch the fish; he shifted the camera back to the sky, watching Lake Yamanaka's water gathering in the air far away.

The original cloud layer dispersed, allowing him to see where the lake water converged up high.

Not only here, but he also saw the remaining four water streams carrying fish forward.

The destination of the lake water was a massive meteor-like sphere, its surface seemingly covered with various complex patterns.

From this distance, it was impossible to see clearly what patterns were on it.

"What is that?"

Yonezawa Tomohiro looked increasingly excited.

Recently, the talk of different world events has been creating a buzz both domestically and abroad, but Yonezawa Tomohiro believed most of these events were just trending topics or marketing stunts by influencers or companies seeking attention.

He never thought he would personally experience an event related to the Different World.

"Is this the power of the Different World? What is the cause? Who caused this situation?"

He voiced a series of questions, but no one could answer them, nor did he expect anyone to.

Yonezawa Tomohiro stood there excitedly, his mind drifting home as he wondered how to boast about this scene to his family.

He couldn't wait to see if Kochou would dare say fishing is useless now.

...

The waters of the Five Lakes of Mount Fuji all gathered around the altar, and Aozawa made the waters of the five lakes merge together, settling down to form a massive square twenty meters below the altar.

Then, Aozawa caused five circular water columns with a diameter of ten meters to rise in different directions from the lake water square, leveling with the altar.

Water bridges split from the tops of the five water columns and connected to the edges of the altar.

The water columns connected to each other, forming a circular shape, enhancing the ritualistic feel.

The fish swam inside the water.

Aozawa watched the scene with interest, noting that the fish themselves weren't affected by his abilities.

But with the water floating in the air, they naturally could also swim in the air; however, if their bodies left the water, they would fall.

Staying in the water didn't affect them at all.

Aozawa stood at the center of the altar, timing it perfectly, raising his hand and saying, "And God said, 'Let there be light.'

At 1:20 in the afternoon, an intense blinding white light exploded, radiating from the surroundings of the altar toward the sky over Japan.

The blinding white light flashed across the sky and then disappeared without a trace.

...

At Brilliant High School, on the third floor of the club building, the blinding white light flashed and disappeared in the manga club, where three people stopped their actions simultaneously.

Yoshikawa Sayuri showed a hint of puzzlement and said, "Did a light just flash by?"

"I saw it too."

Phoenix Academy Maggie replied, quickly stepping to the window and peering outside.

Clouds floated in the sky, occasionally revealing a blue sky, indicating that the current weather was good, and the flash couldn't have been lightning.

"Strange, what was that light?"

"Probably nothing to worry about."

Upon hearing Yoshikawa Sayuri say this, Phoenix Academy Maggie shook her head, her delicate porcelain doll-like face full of seriousness as she said, "How could it have nothing to do with anything? This kind of abnormal phenomenon is likely related to the Different World."

"Well, let's search online."

Nomura True Wave took out her phone and quickly opened TikTok; before she could search for the mysterious light, she saw someone had uploaded a video titled "The waters of the Five Lakes of Mount Fuji are rising."

"Wow, can this be real?"

Nomura True Wave showed a hint of surprise.

Phoenix Academy Maggie and Yoshikawa Sayuri gathered around her, looking at her phone screen from either side.

The waters of Lake Yamanaka were no longer a serene blue but turned into crystal-clear streams, lightly floating into the air toward a sphere.

The phone used for recording the video clearly wasn't of high quality, unable to capture distant scenery clearly, making it quite blurry.

As a result, people in the comments questioned whether it was a low-budget fake video.

Nomura True Wave shared the same doubt, refreshing quickly to find that more than one person posted such videos.

Several people had posted similar videos, all around the Five Lakes of Mount Fuji.

The video from Kawaguchi Lake, the closest to Mount Fuji, was evidently clearer and had already reached a hundred thousand views, still rising.

Nomura True Wave looked at the sphere densely covered with patterns, floating in the sky.

Suddenly, a burst of blazing white light flashed and quickly vanished, and the video returned to normal.

"Light?!"

Hearing the person taking the video make such a sound, Nomura True Wave also understood where the strong light just came from.

"Are you kidding me? This is Adachi District, and light coming from Mount Fuji could actually reach here."

"I'm afraid it's not just here."

Phoenix Academy Maggie responded, searching the internet for the strong light and finding that people from various places reported seeing a flash of strong light in an instant.

If her guess was correct, the range of this strong light most likely covered all of Japan's skies.

Does this have anything to do with Dio?

Phoenix Academy Maggie entertained this suspicion, then exited the browser, opened Aozawa's chat interface, and sent a message: "Aozawa, have you seen the news online?"

The message she sent quickly showed as read, "I saw it. I can feel a powerful force contained within the light."

"Really, where are you?"

Phoenix Academy Maggie wanted to meet with Aozawa to discuss this matter; she was very curious about the kind of power contained within the light.

...

Lian Cui in the Imperial Palace is mainly used for banquets, especially for hosting government leaders or famous figures from various fields.

Compared with Toyomei-den, Lian Cui is usually used for smaller, more intimate banquet occasions.

Lian Cui is divided into north and south rooms through partitions.

For conversations, they are usually held in Lian Cui South.

Inside is spacious and bright, impeccably clean, primarily in simple tones, presenting the Imperial Palace's consistently elegant style.

Sliding doors opened, and Madame Kochou stood in the corridor, wearing a gorgeous kimono in the color of a lush bamboo grove, with a black and red bow at the back.

The different color combinations made this kimono really beautiful.

Her jet-black long hair was pinned with a gemstone-studded gold hairpin; necklace, bracelet, and luxurious ornaments adorned her body, making her exude an aura of regal and noble grace.

Kochou stepped into the conversation room of Lian Cui South. Even with the experience of the five attendees, they couldn't help but praise from the bottom of their hearts, truly beautiful.

But they were not the type easily dazzled by beauty.

Iwasaki Muneta, with his square face, spoke up, "Madame Kochou, I suddenly couldn't contact my father and bodyguard just now. Is it related to why you called me over?"

"According to the information I received, Mr. Iwasaki is unfortunately involved in the Different World incident, and it's unclear whether it's related to Dio.

This is a report from the CIA; you can take a look."

Kochou handed a report to Iwasaki Muneta, who quickly browsed it, then passed it to the people beside him.

After a while, the five present realized what they were currently facing.

Even with their experienced minds, they couldn't help but show a hint of fear and sorrow on their faces.

Although in the eyes of many, the heads of conglomerates are perceived as cold and ruthless, as long as they are human, they will experience sorrow and anger.

They usually don't see the people below them as human.

Iwasaki Yizo was different; he was considered one of their own, even a respected and trustworthy elder.

When such a person dies, they naturally wouldn't remain indifferent.

"Father!"

Iwasaki Muneta couldn't control his sorrow.

Even though he would often curse Iwasaki Yizo to die, attempting to seize control himself, facing this result truly, an indescribable sadness gripped his heart, and tears flowed uncontrollably.

The habitual criticism and comparisons vanished, leaving only beautiful memories and regrets in his mind.

Kochou said gently, "Mr. Muneta, now is not the time for sorrow. You must take up the flag of the Mitsubishi Group.

As for the Takamagahara plan, we need someone else to lead it. Who do you think is suitable?"

Hearing this question, the five present quickly suppressed their emotions, transforming into emotionless machines and starting to calculate.

How should they answer to align best with their interests?

And, was Kochou really asking for their opinion or trying to use them to push her choice?

The five were well aware that Kochou's recent actions were clearly overstepping, which was why the deceased Iwasaki Yizo joined forces with the other four major conglomerates to oppose her.

But now the conservative Minister of Finance was dead, and the new leader chosen by the conservatives clearly did not have the former's high prestige.

And they lost Iwasaki Yizo.

Collaborating with each other wouldn't be easy, and during this period of adjustment, anyone opposing Kochou might be struck.

After a brief silence, Iwasaki Muneta spoke, "Prime Minister, who do you think is more suitable to lead the Takamagahara plan?"

This change in address was no small matter, and the leader of the other four major conglomerates cursed inwardly.

Iwasaki Muneta clearly wanted to smoothly succeed to the position himself, so he was willing to show a compromising stance to Kochou.

"Indeed, we'd like to hear the Prime Minister's opinion."

The other four naturally couldn't fall behind and expressed their willingness to hear Kochou's suggestions.

Kochou received their answers with a smile on her face.

At this moment, the Prime Minister's Aide stood outside the sliding doors and whispered, "Prime Minister, an urgent incident has occurred, and your attention is needed."
