Chapter 241: Battling the Snake (Part 3)
"Attention everyone, the Target is breaking through towards the East Direction! All defense echelons prepare to intercept!"
Buzzing, Frank hung from the hatch of a helicopter with one hand, staring intently at the Yamata no Orochi crawling and slithering down the mountain.
The Yamata no Orochi's massive body crawled into the burning Aokigahara (Sea of Trees). The towering trees, over ten meters high, were less than a third of the Yamata no Orochi's snake body.
As it crawled, the burning towering trees were crushed down in swathes with a rumble. In the center of the burning Sea of Trees, it forcibly created an Isolation Zone by crushing everything in its path.
Four attack helicopters and dozens of Iron Armors pursued the Yamata no Orochi, attempting to stop it. Unfortunately, neither missile attacks, Vulcan Cannon fire, nor even Tony Stark controlling an Iron Armor's self-detonation could stop this behemoth's determination to head East.
"What's in the East?" Tony Stark asked with some doubt.
Frank even ordered S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Intelligence Department to connect with Monarch to inquire about the Yamata no Orochi's Target.
This question wasn't just on Frank and Tony Stark's minds.
"East Direction, eighty kilometers East of the Yamata no Orochi is Tokyo. At its speed, if we can't intercept it, it will enter our country's heartland within two hours!
Gentlemen! If we don't want to see a repeat of the Fall of Tokyo, we must intercept it at all costs!"
At the foot of Mount Fuji, hundreds of Japanese-made Type 10 Tanks formed a Steel Flood, kicking up smoke and dust as they maneuvered towards the East Direction of Mount Fuji.
In the sky, dozens of Apache attack helicopters had already arrived at the designated location ahead of time, forming an aerial defense position.
Twenty kilometers away from Mount Fuji, at the Command Center, the short Japanese Defense Minister looked solemnly at the several Generals of the Japan Self-Defense Forces standing before him, speaking earnest words of encouragement.
Just as the atmosphere was stirred up with some fervor by the Japanese Defense Minister's words, a Middle-aged Man wearing glasses and bearing the shoulder insignia of a Major General hesitantly voiced his concern:
"Mr. Tanaka, the Japan Self-Defense Forces are unilaterally deploying attack helicopters and the Air Force. Shouldn't we seek General Krav's Order? Without the Federation's approval, it seems we don't have the authority to open fire!"
The Major General's words were like a sharp needle pricking a fully inflated balloon. The morale that the Japanese Defense Minister had painstakingly stirred up immediately deflated completely.
Japanese Defense Minister Tanaka Junpei's old face, honed by decades in politics, twitched a few times, almost losing his composure.
"The situation at Mount Fuji has already been reported to the Federation. General Krav has ordered the four Navy Battleships at Okinawa Military Base to blockade Honshu Island to prevent the disaster from escalating!"
Tanaka Junpei did not directly answer the question about the authority to open fire. He implicitly stated that the situation had been reported, the 'dads' already knew, and had sent people to set up a fence nearby.
"Officer, the Target has reached the outer perimeter of the Aerial Interception Position! Requesting permission to attack!"
In the Corner of the Command Center, a Communications Soldier stood up and reported.
"Order! All units engage freely!" Tanaka Junpei commanded the Military Officers, "At all costs, we must stop the Yamata no Orochi!"
"Yes, Officer!" The young Communications Soldier saluted and quickly used the communicator system to relay Tanaka Junpei's Order.
"Gentlemen, the front-line command will be entrusted to you. I wish you all success in battle!"
After watching the several High-level Staff of the Japan Self-Defense Forces take off in attack helicopters, Tanaka Junpei turned and returned to the temporary Command Center Tent.
"East! Eighty kilometers East is indeed Tokyo. Could it be because of Tokyo's population? This Great Demon wants to eat people!"
In front of the map, Tanaka Junpei's finger moved constantly. He couldn't think of anything in Tokyo besides its dense population that could attract this Giant Beast's attention.
"It's the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant! The leaking Nuclear Reactor there attracted the Yamata no Orochi! Titans feed on atomic energy! It must be the Nuclear Reactor there that attracted it!"
Ishiro Serizawa, who narrowly escaped death from the Japanese Observation Post, contacted the World Security Council's High-level Staff through Monarch's channel. This important intelligence was quickly relayed to the Command Center at the foot of Mount Fuji.
"Nuclear Reactor, how far is it from here?"
Captain America's voice sounded in Tony Stark's communicator.
"Three hundred kilometers! Between Mount Fuji and the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant, there's a Japanese city. Currently, over two hundred thousand residents haven't been evacuated. We must intercept it before it enters the City!"
"In this situation, I might need a Hulk!" Tony Stark looked at his surrounding 'family members', which were reduced by half, and stated his request to Captain America.
"As you wish!"
A few seconds after Captain America's voice ended, Tony looked up.
A green figure leaped down from a Quinjet, whistling as it crashed down.
"Hulk!"
A roaring voice accompanied the Green Big Guy, echoing in all directions.
Tony recognized who the reinforcements were, and his nervous mood immediately relaxed. After all, with Hulk, a top-tier powerhouse, present, it could at least buy some time for the nearby Japanese residents to evacuate.
"Hulk!"
The Hulk leaped down from high altitude, landing directly in front of the Yamata no Orochi. The Ground was forcibly smashed into a Deep Pit by him.
Climbing out of the Deep Pit's edge with his wide green palm, the Hulk roared at the Yamata no Orochi before him, clenched his fist, ready to teach the Yamata no Orochi a lesson.
"Hiss!"
Several snake heads of the Yamata no Orochi swayed, and the figure of the Green Little Guy was reflected in its cold Snake Eyes.
A black scale snake head suddenly lunged forward, opening its large mouth, and directly snatched the Hulk into its mouth with one bite, swallowing him with a gulp.
"Captain, the Hulk seems, seems to have been eaten by that Giant Snake!"
Seeing this scene, Tony Stark was stunned. He said to Captain America with some uncertainty.
All along, the Hulk had been one of their main powerhouses in the Avengers. Even Thor, the God of Thunder from Asgard, was slightly inferior to the Hulk.
Such a powerful Hulk being swallowed in one bite by this Giant Snake made Tony Stark even doubt if he was seeing things.
Frank watched the Hulk being swallowed by the Yamata no Orochi in one bite, and silently put the ejection knife he had drawn back into his Five Yin Pouch.
Giving up on the idea of close combat, an army green shoulder-fired missile appeared on his shoulder. After aiming, he aimed at the Yamata no Orochi and pulled the trigger.
Meanwhile, after swallowing the Green little bean, the Yamata no Orochi's massive body continued to slither towards the foot of the mountain.
"Target entering Range!"
On an AH-1 Cobra attack helicopter, the Helicopter Pilot watched the behemoth rushing towards him with a rumble. Its several huge snake heads, each capable of easily opening its mouth and swallowing him along with the entire helicopter.
His hands were sweating nervously. After hearing the firing Order from the communicator, he pressed numerous weapon system firing buttons on the helicopter in one breath.
Six Hellfire anti-tank missiles simultaneously shot towards the Target.
After receiving the Order to fire freely, dozens of attack helicopters hovering in the air to intercept almost immediately fired the most powerful weapons on their helicopters.
Over two hundred Hellfire Missiles bombarded the Yamata no Orochi's body.
Boom boom boom boom! The Giant Snake, as large as a small mountain, was instantly engulfed by the exploding artillery fire.
In the hearts of the Japanese people, the Yamata no Orochi has always been the most powerful Great Demon, its status among Yokai in myths and legends even surpassing Tamamo-no-Mae, Tengu, and Shuten-dōji, the three great Yokai.
With a mythical Yokai suddenly appearing in reality, it was naturally false to say that these Japanese Soldiers weren't having doubts in their hearts.
Seeing the Hellfire Missiles hit the Target, the soldiers of the Japan Self-Defense Forces attack helicopter formation finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The effectiveness of the Hellfire missile had been fully proven on the Iraq battlefield.
Iraq, known as the world's third largest army, had over five hundred tanks destroyed by Hellfire Missiles.
