Chapter 294
“Is this… what’s going on beneath Sakura Island?” Li Xiang hadn’t participated in the Sakura weirdness disaster himself, but he’d followed its developments closely, and the higher-ups had sent over plenty of files for him to assist with research.
Yang Yuxin pointed out, “But look at the top-left aerial view—it doesn’t really look like Sakura Island… That patch shrouded in weirdness black fog should be Sakura Island.”
Li Xiang adjusted his glasses and said, “Actually, headquarters sent me a file before. Three months after Shen Ge and the others went to assist, there was a massive explosion in Hujiang City. After that, large coastal areas were submerged, and the entire Tokou City area was shattered into islands.”
“This map doesn’t show the complete Sakura Island, but if you piece together the surrounding islands, you’ll see it matches the area from Tokou City to Chiba.”
“So I suspect this ‘heart’ is the epicenter of Sakura’s weirdness disaster—the former Hujiang City.”
Aside from Li Xiang, Shen Ge also saw the problem. In fact, as he gradually realized that the “Tiangan” organization was no less of a threat than the “Twelve Branches,” he’d known that the new Weird King under Sakura Island was a ticking time bomb.
Back during the Sakura weirdness disaster, limited by his strength at the time, Shen Ge had made it all the way to the new Weird King’s presence but lacked the power to kill it once and for all.
He’d thought about finding an opportunity to deal with it, but the string of issues in the Dream World afterward had consumed all his attention. Now, his worst fears were coming true.
The birth of the new Weird King had indeed helped alleviate the emergence of weirdness events to some extent—but it also meant the new Weird King was constantly growing stronger by absorbing weirdness energy. Once it awakened, it wouldn’t just be Sakura Country, Bang Country, or Great Tianchao at risk—the entire world would face a crisis.
