Chapter 42 Subsequent Impact

The reappearance of King Arthur, Oda Nobunaga's declaration, and the unknown Heroic Spirit's explanation of the term "Heroic Spirit" undoubtedly caused a huge uproar.

Following the Sea Monster incident, the world's attention was focused on Japan. With so much explosive news spreading, every media outlet in every country was reporting on it frantically. After all, in this world, trending topics are everything that the news industry needs to survive.

What could be more sensational than the appearance of extraordinary beings like Heroic Spirits in an ordinary world? Moreover, they are all historically renowned figures, and with their handsome faces that make appearance-obsessed fans drool, it's said that one's values ​​follow one's looks. These three Heroic Spirits are not only handsome, but also have high status and strength!

That's right, Rider's identity wasn't kept secret for long; it was quickly uncovered by the resourceful netizens.

"Judging from his clothing, it's difficult to discern his era and identity, as he's dressed in modern Tang Dynasty attire. However, the magical formations he appears in several times clearly bear bronze inscriptions used during the Shang and Zhou Dynasties. Furthermore, his weapon—note that it's not a wooden stick, but rather wrapped with a red ribbon-like object. This is undeniably misleading, but if the red ribbon were lowered, wouldn't it resemble a whip? Or perhaps a fishing rod? Based on this, there's only one truth! The heroic spirit who calls himself Rider is none other than Jiang Ziya, the strategist of the Zhou Dynasty, the ancestor of the Qi state, and the protagonist of the Investiture of the Gods!"

By the way, this person with the online name "Sherlock Holmes is the strongest detective" is not a very convincing alias. Makoto Aoki said that if he weren't Shinichi Kudo, he would eat noodles upside down on live stream!

However, the identity of the third Heroic Spirit also directly ignited the online community.

"My goodness, shouldn't Jiang Ziya be a kind old man? Didn't he emerge from seclusion at seventy? How come he's so young and handsome!"

"But he's a Taoist priest! They say Chinese magic can prolong life? Never mind, I'll buy a plane ticket right now and go to the Taoist temple to become his disciple!"

"No, actually we're not even sure if he's Taigong Wang! It's possible that the netizen's deduction was wrong!"

"This wasn't just one person's deduction; I've looked at it frame by frame, and Jiang Ziya is the most likely candidate!"

"It is said that Taigong Wang enjoyed wealth and honor in the mortal world, which means he had not yet become an immortal."

"Please, who cares if he's become an immortal or not? Looking like he's twenty at seventy is awesome enough."

"King Arthur and Lord Nobunaga both looked quite young, but they were actually quite old when they died."

"Ah, I don't want to hear it, I don't want an old man, I want a handsome guy!"

"The magic is amazing! Thousands of people were sent away in a flash. It's incredibly powerful!"

"But aren't Heroic Spirits supposed to be from Norse mythology? Why are all the Heroic Spirits appearing now from other countries?"

"King Arthur is a Celtic myth! He's not from another country."

"King Arthur, Oda Nobunaga, and Jiang Ziya can all become Heroic Spirits, so Abe no Seimei can too! I can't wait!"

"Are all Heroic Spirits that powerful? Lord Nobunaga too, he destroyed a stadium in an instant."

"Shouldn't we be compensated for this?"

Taiko no Wang's immense popularity surrounding immortals even surpasses that of King Arthur and Oda Nobunaga, as both are topics related to longevity.

Since Jiang Ziya (Taigong Wang) truly possessed immortal powers, then immortals must also exist. As for immortality? Immortals can certainly live forever!

This immediately drew the attention of most intelligence agencies, including the brewery, to Taikomochi. After all, compared to Oda Nobunaga, who was definitively declared dead in history and whose legend of returning from Avalon after death sounded like a forced attempt to save face, Taikomochi was closer to the immortality that the public desired.

So, this dark-skinned, blond-haired fake liquor guy, who had barely returned to Japan and hadn't even caught his breath, received another notification.

"

If we find Taigong Wang, it would be best to find a way to capture him.

An undercover police officer who was working three jobs: ...

Hey, who does he think he is? Ultraman?

The man's lips twitched as his eyes swept over the photos of the stadium ruins on the computer screen. Did he look like someone who could defeat that kind of monster?

However, he was indeed very concerned about the matter of the Heroic Spirits. After all, their appearance in Japan and their possession of such powerful strength was ultimately not a good thing.

Leaving aside the fact that the other two are foreigners, even Oda Nobunaga, a native of Japan, has a reputation that is not a good one, but rather a notorious one like the Sixth Heaven Demon King.

Add to that the world-ending crisis that Taigong Wang spoke of...

It must be said that if these words came from an ordinary person, he would naturally dismiss them, but if they came from Jiang Ziya, the world-renowned strategist, no one could ignore them.

Of course, for ordinary people, although they are worried about the so-called world-ending crisis, they also have the mentality of "if the sky falls, there will be tall people to hold it up" and "aren't the heroic spirits fighting?" So, although some crab legs have been born in some places, those who are not worried about life still do not take this matter seriously.

Compared to the apocalyptic crisis that sounded too outrageous, Oda Nobunaga's declaration was more in line with their aesthetic.

"Waaaah, Lord Nobunaga, I want to be your dog!"

"Damn it, it's you again. Is being a dog so great? Woof woof!"

"As expected of Oda Nobunaga, who almost ended the Warring States period, this makes my blood boil!"

"Please elaborate upstairs~ What's causing all the excitement? *winking emoji*"

"The time has come to unify the land by force! Lord Nobunaga, I'm in!"

"I'm joining too!"

Of course, everyone knows that most netizens are just talking nonsense, but Oda Nobunaga also has quite a few supporters. After all, he is one of the most well-known figures in Japan, and he perfectly fits the Japanese aesthetic: powerful, arrogant, handsome, and invincible. He almost unified Japan but failed due to betrayal.

In Japan, there are probably no more than a handful of people who can rival Oda Nobunaga in fame, but while they may be famous, their popularity may not be as high as Oda Nobunaga's.

After all, when it comes to Oda Nobunaga's status in ACG (Anime, Comics, and Games), everyone else combined can't beat him.

Not to mention the living hero Oda Nobunaga, who is practically the most perfect image that Japanese people can imagine.

While they may like it, most people support Oda Nobunaga's "unification of the realm by force" declaration with a smile and in a joking manner.

"He wasn't joking."

Makoto Aoki scrolled through the online comments and shook his head. He figured Oda Nobunaga would probably make his move soon.

After all, he's not the kind of person who would restrain himself when bullied.

Those people in Japan who want to use underhanded tactics to influence the Nakano clan and thus control Oda Nobunaga... they're really dreaming!

Given Oda Nobunaga's personality, even if all five Nakano sisters died in front of him, he would not waver in the slightest. Of course, he would take revenge on the instigators a hundredfold afterward.

"Ugh~ Foolish and ugly, like an ostrich refusing to face reality, courting death, arrogant and laughable ugliness, even you, Master, would think they're beyond redemption, right? I really hate humans the most~"

With long purple hair, a red bow on the side, a devilish outfit, and an exceptionally large figure, this Servant with goddess-like beauty is of course a special class MoonCancer, originally a superior AI of Mooncell, and once almost destroyed the world.

Aoki Makoto looked at BB with mixed feelings. This was his first female avatar. How should he describe it? This womanly power was a bit too much, making him feel a little perverted while wearing this avatar.

Having acquired three exceptionally powerful combatants—King Arthur, Oda Nobunaga, and Taiko no Momochi—Makoto Aoki's fear of insufficient firepower was finally alleviated. Incidentally, his current fame is enough to unlock two more aliases, so Makoto Aoki readily selected his targets.

Makoto Aoki ultimately chose BB, after all, BB's power as an AI in modern society is simply too unstoppable. BB had just broadcast several meetings of intelligence agencies from various countries to Makoto Aoki, and even the actions of the Black Organization. It can be said that if Makoto Aoki wanted to, he could end the Detective Conan storyline ahead of time.

Due to BB's special nature, Makoto Aoki has to keep BB completely under his control. He can't find a Master to power up his power, so he almost always controls her himself. But BB's feminine charm is so strong that even now, Makoto Aoki sometimes can't help but scratch his toes.

In comparison, Aoki Makoto, who is disguised as Taikomo, is not expected to be separated from Taikomo. After all, he himself needs to have sufficient combat power, and participating in some of the following actions as Taikomo's master will also be beneficial to Aoki Makoto's plans.

"I need to gather all the information and know the attitudes of all parties, as well as the probability and intensity of their resistance after Oda Nobunaga's actions."

"Tch, how boring, senpai." Despite his attitude, BB worked very seriously. Countless data streams flowed by, and soon, quite accurate data was presented to Makoto Aoki.

"That's it."

Makoto Aoki nodded, a carefree smile on his face reminiscent of Oda Nobunaga's. It must be said that the influence of the Heroic Spirits on him was immense.

"Then let's get started."
