Chapter 1152

# The Golden Lion's Sky-Piercing Pillar of Ryukyu!

For Shiki, shooting down two F-15 fighter jets was simply not worth mentioning.

Although the airplanes in this world were very fast, their attack methods were quite limited.

Counting them all, there were only three: autocannon, missile, and aerial bomb.

Among these, aerial bombs could only be used for bombardment of ground targets.

And his Float-Float Fruit ability was extremely effective at countering autocannons and missiles.

Just like before, if you dared to launch a missile, he could counter-control it from a distance and perform a 'Turnaround Attack'.

As for the remaining E-3 early warning aircraft, Shiki naturally saw it too.

However, seeing that it had no intention of attacking him, he left it aside and continued flying towards Kadena Air Base.

Upon arrival, the scene described earlier unfolded.

Shiki released the four Den Den Mushi with base plates attached, while slowly descending with the gale.

But all of this was under the E-3 early warning aircraft's 'watch'.

And when his height from the ground had just reached about two thousand meters.

Below, Kadena Air Base had already sounded the piercing alarm.

Large numbers of pilots and personnel were seen rushing out of various building facilities.

Soon, on the two three-thousand-seven-hundred-meter-long runways, F-15 fighter jets lined up in long queues.

The fighter jets at the front had already begun acceleration.

The rumble they produced also grew louder and louder.

It wasn't until the landing gear beneath the fuselage was retracted, the nose lifted upwards, and the turbofan engines sprayed orange-red fire from the tail, that the entire fuselage shot straight into the clouds like an arrow released from a bowstring.

【Roar!!!】

A thunderous sound burst instantly exploded, forming a visible white mist ring behind the fuselage.

These two F-15 fighter jets that took off first did not immediately launch an attack on Shiki, but instead circled rapidly around him.

They had already been informed of the fate of the previous two F-15 fighter jets, so they certainly wouldn't launch missiles right away.

They were also waiting for the other fighter jets below to fly up.

Just like that, every few minutes, in groups of two F-15 fighter jets, they successively flew up into the high altitude.

However, their pilots didn't know what to do, or rather, no one wanted to be the first to initiate an attack.

Until angry words sounded in the cockpit.

"What are you bastards doing? The enemy is only one thousand five hundred meters from the ground! Attack!"

"Don't be afraid of his superpower! Everything must have a limit! As long as our firepower is sufficient and fierce enough, I believe we can definitely shoot him down!"

The pilots heard these words, one after another.

Although their hearts were filled with helplessness, they could only open the glass cover on the autocannon control button with their thumbs.

After all, their high salaries, prize money, and benefits were for the nation to buy their lives at this moment.

Just like this, the M61A1 Vulcan autocannons installed on the outer side of the right intake duct of each F-15 fighter jet began to rotate at high speed with a 'buzzing' sound.

【Da da da da da————】

【Da da da da da————】

Incredibly rapid and dense large-caliber gunshots instantly echoed throughout the sky above Kadena Air Base.

Shiki, currently in mid-air.

Was already surrounded by these autocannon rounds coming from all directions, with a rate of fire reaching four thousand rounds per minute and a caliber of twenty millimeters.

It could be said that this was a true rain curtain of bullets, a true storm of metal.

It was also one of the representatives of modern firearms technology.

"So noisy!"

Shiki, with a cigar in his mouth, let out an unhappy roar.

It was truly because the commotion of these fighter jets was too great, too disruptive, coupled with the sound of the autocannons firing.

It was simply tormenting his ears.

Suddenly, an invisible power fluctuation erupted from Shiki's imposing body, sweeping across the entire area in an instant.

One after another, the incoming autocannon rounds suddenly stopped in mid-air.

Looking out, countless densely packed black dots surrounded Shiki.

This scene left the pilots flying the F-15 fighter jets dumbfounded.

Immediately after, they saw those black dots begin to rotate around Shiki.

Or rather, they were rotating along with the formed whirlwind.

Not only the wind and bullets, some pilots noticed that even the nearby clouds and mist, and the cloud mass higher up, also began to flow rapidly, visible to the naked eye.

"Oh God..."

"Has the Storm Woman appeared in reality?"

"We need a superhuman!"

"Damn it, my plane is out of control!"

"No!!!"

Not only were the pilots on the scene screaming frantically and letting out desperate wails.

Thousands of personnel within the base below were also looking up at the terrifying scene in the sky.

In their panicked mood, they continuously uttered various swear words to vent their emotions.

In the command room.

Lieutenant General Damiano and a group of technicians.

Were equally in disbelief at the screen feed.

Shiki's figure had long since disappeared.

In its place was a white tornado storm, swallowing up the F-15 fighter jets around it, one after another.

Even though their flight speed reached Mach 2, they seemed completely unable to resist the storm's attraction.

Then, they saw clumps of explosion firelight appear within the great storm where the clouds and mist had converged.

Those were the F-15 fighter jets, their final burst of light and fire.

At the same time.

On the runways within the air force base, fighter jets were still flying up into the sky, one after another.

However, these pilots were no longer thinking about attacking Shiki, but rather preparing to get as far away from here as possible...

They weren't Japanese; knowing they couldn't win at all, how could they still recklessly court death?

But Shiki had no intention of letting them leave!

"Roar!!!"

Suddenly, a sound like a wild beast's roar echoed above everyone's heads.

Everyone, including Lieutenant General Damiano, immediately saw that the tornado storm that had swallowed over a dozen F-15 fighter jets had transformed into a towering white cloud lion, as massive as a mountain.

It opened its gaping maw, staring with terrifying lion eyes, majestically overlooking the Kadena Air Base where they were located.

When the E-3 early warning aircraft's camera zoomed in to the maximum, a golden figure could be vaguely seen atop the white cloud lion's head.

On the other side.

Shiki grinned coldly, his eyes filled with contempt.

"You ants who only rely on external aids, witness what true strength is! My! The strength of the Golden Lion!"

Shiki raised his right arm and waved forcefully downwards, roaring:

"Lion's Might: Imperial Palace Heaven Scroll!!!"

"Roar!!!"

The white cloud lion responded by letting out another roar that echoed through the sky.

Wind and clouds gathered in the void, and sound waves rolled and spread.

City residents within a radius of hundreds of miles around subconsciously stopped what they were doing and looked up towards the direction of Kadena Air Base.

The next moment.

This enormous white cloud lion, brandishing its claws and fangs, crashed headfirst onto the vast airport ground.

【Rumble————】

Rolling clouds and mist like a tsunami, carrying fierce wind and waves, instantly submerged everything and all facilities here.

The fighter jets lined up on the runway were sent flying into the air like blades of grass blown by the wind.

Thousands of personnel of various professions were swept up by the gale and sent flying everywhere like ants.

Even their screams were suppressed by the howling fierce wind sounds.

But the most spectacular sight was the countless debris from the ground, runways, lawns, and buildings and facilities that constantly broke apart and floated upwards...

This scene was simply a perfect replica of the 'Windstone Catastrophe' that occurred in the Zero Magic World!

Time passed little by little.

The wave of clouds and mist sweeping across the earth gradually dissipated, and the fierce super strong wind and waves also calmed down.

Shiki floated in the air with a rampant expression.

Letting the coat of justice behind him and his waist-length thick golden hair sway in the wind...

Below his feet.

Was a devastated, shattered, deserted earth filled with building ruins everywhere.

Only the outlines of straight runways crisscrossing could still prove that this was previously an air force airport.

Above his head.

Were F-15 fighter jets, E-3 early warning aircraft, aerial refueling aircraft, attack helicopters, drones, etc., over a hundred of the Lighthouse Country's most advanced military aircraft, floating at high altitude, one after another.

In the cockpits of some of these planes, there were still living pilots.

At this moment, their faces were filled with despair and terror.

Even though the planes were in normal flight status, no matter how much they increased the thrust of the turbofan engines, they just couldn't make their planes move!

And the scene outside the cabin was also terrifying like a nightmare.

Not to mention the densely packed building debris.

The key was that person after person, some familiar, some unfamiliar, were also floating in the air out of nowhere.

Some were either dead or had fainted from fright; in any case, they remained still.

But most people outside were screaming wildly! Screaming in agony!

They were even vomiting and crying!

This was a height of a full thousand meters from the ground!

Some pilots even saw Lieutenant General Damiano, whom they normally could only admire from afar...

"Trash is not needed."

Shiki suddenly spoke coldly from below.

The next second.

All the building fragments above, as well as the thousands of Lighthouse Country officers and soldiers enduring terror and cold.

Their previously floating state suddenly stopped.

This made them and the pilots in the cockpits freeze.

But reality didn't stand still with them.

"Ahhhhhh!!!"

"Ahhh! God, oh God, I don't want to die yet!"

"No——————"

The pilots watched dumbfounded as the people outside fell along with the building fragments.

At this moment, they felt an indescribable terror.

Terrified that the planes beneath them would also fall.

But thankfully, whether it was the fighter jets they were in or other types of airplanes outside, they all remained steadily floating in their original positions.

Some quick-witted pilots immediately guessed that the other party probably wanted to keep these airplanes.

This made them subconsciously let out a sigh of relief and inwardly exclaim their luck.

Otherwise, they would most likely have shared the same fate as the people outside.

Meanwhile.

Shiki was enjoying the scene of the surrounding people and objects falling like raindrops.

Thousands of Lighthouse Country people smashed onto the ground one after another, splattering into clumps of scarlet 'flowers'.

Finally, they were completely buried by large amounts of building debris in this foreign land.

Actually, Shiki really wanted to keep some of the pilots.

However, he really didn't have the patience to look for them one by one, so he simply threw them all down. He figured there should be plenty of pilots in this world, so a few less wouldn't matter...

Besides, he still had things to do next.

When the last person landed, Shiki looked up at the hundreds of airplanes above.

He felt they were floating too scattered, so he waved his hand and pushed them further away, quickly turning into a 'large iron ball' made up of various modern military aircraft clumped together.

"Then let's make a big mess, Gurararara!"

The smile on Shiki's face became increasingly unrestrained, and his aura also began to rapidly strengthen.

"Float up! Float up!"

"Everything must obey my commands!"

He began to fully activate the Float-Float Fruit ability within his body.

The power of awakening was also fully activated.

This caused the invisible fluctuations emanating from Shiki.

To actually manifest as faint ripples in the void.

The ripples layered upon each other, falling onto the shattered earth below.

They spread rapidly along the vast ground in all directions, like a wave.

【Rumble rumble rumble...】

【Bang bang bang bang...】

The ground of Kadena Air Base began to shake violently, as if a high-energy earthquake had suddenly occurred.

Amidst the intense tremors, the earth rapidly cracked.

Long, thick ground fissures spread outwards like a spider web.

At the same time, large, broken off pieces of land floated upwards.

As time rapidly passed.

With Kadena Air Base as the center, the affected area grew wider and wider.

Ishikawa City to the north, Chatan Town to the south, and Okinawa City to the west also began to show the same scene.

In just about twenty minutes, this southern area of Okinawa Island had completely turned into a scene of doomsday.

The earth was shattering, people were screaming, buildings were collapsing...

And this was not the end.

The power of awakening of the Float-Float Fruit, supported by Shiki's terrifying strength, was still sweeping towards more distant directions.

Wherever its power reached, it was met with destruction and ruin, and then flew into the high altitude, quietly floating.

After nearly an hour, the entire Okinawa Island, covering an area of over 1200 square kilometers, had completely broken apart, turning into countless debris floating at a high altitude of several hundred meters.

They blocked all sunlight like thick dark clouds, leaving the remaining parts of the island below and the vast ocean completely shrouded in an endless shadow.

This was an indescribable, soul-stirring scene!

This was a scene like a miracle!

As for Shiki, he first continued to pick out the airplanes from among them.

Then, with his will, he controlled everything in the air, to rapidly converge towards the center in front of him.

Inside were buildings, warships, missiles, cannons, and countless people...

【Rumble rumble rumble!】

They formed a torrent of ruins from all directions, concentrating in one area by piling up on each other.

And rapidly formed a 'towering pillar' that continuously increased in height and grew thicker, at a speed visible to the naked eye.

This process lasted for nearly six hours!

The four video Den Den Mushi that Shiki had thrown out earlier also filmed these scenes from different directions.

Finally, a sky-piercing stone pillar over three thousand meters high and several hundred meters wide appeared at the original location of Okinawa Island.

Facing Mount Fuji in Tokyo from afar!

This was the product created by Shiki gathering most of the substance from Okinawa Island!

The residents living on the other islands of the Ryukyu Islands had long been attracted by this earth-shattering momentum.

It can be said that they witnessed the formation of this 'stone tower' almost entirely.

Some of these people were dumbfounded, some knelt on the ground praying frantically.

Some, due to excessive terror, were in tears, slumped on the ground trembling...

"Hmm, looks like something is still missing."

Meanwhile.

Shiki, floating beside the 'sky-piercing stone pillar', was muttering to himself while stroking his chin.

A moment later, his eyes lit up.

He immediately put the idea in his heart into action.

He rapidly flew upwards, sound bursts exploded in circles behind him.

Soon, Shiki arrived above the top of the 'sky-piercing stone pillar'.

"This is my masterpiece, of course, it must have my mark!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the power of the Float-Float Fruit was activated again.

He saw that the top of the 'sky-piercing stone pillar' began to change towards another shape...

A few minutes later.

A silver lion, completely condensed from metal, over a hundred meters tall.

Stood proudly upright on the very top, gazing in the direction of Mount Fuji.

When the brilliant sunlight shone upon it, it immediately burst forth with ten thousand rays of dazzling golden light...

"Not bad, not bad!"

"With this, it won't be considered that I came to this world for nothing!"

Shiki, wearing a blue coat of justice, landed on the head of the 'male lion', directly spread his arms and laughed wildly towards the sky.

His laughter, aided by gusts of sea breeze, quickly spread throughout every corner of the Ryukyu Islands...

"Gurararara! Gurararara!"
