202. Black Bullet : War Against Scorpion and Tokyo Area Government. (3)

"Unbelievable..."

"This group of people is are group of monsters, especially the bald one who is fighting that Gigantic Scorpion head-on!"

...

While the chat group members and servants were fighting against millions of Gastrea Creatures in Iwaki, in the Tokyo Area, the government officials were watching their actions via satellite with feelings of panic, confusion, and fear mixed together. The reason behind that was that they did not expect the Kaito group they wanted to capture to be a group with superpowers, and now they were indirectly indebted to them.

All the Tokyo Area higher-ups knew that if that gigantic Scorpio (who was not a normal level 5) and millions of Gastrea creatures landed in their area, the Tokyo Area would be finished without any chance to fight back.

However, at the same time, they are also afraid because if this group succeeds in clearing Scorpio and is unhappy with them (because they previously sent many military personnel to capture them), there will be no one who can stop them from taking over the entire Tokyo area.

Because in the previous operation, the officials and commanders ordered the majority of the military and high-ranking officers to try to capture Kaito's group. Now, those thousands of military armies confirmed to have been wiped out by the impact of the fight between Saitama and Scorpion at the beginning--  which means the defense of the Tokyo area is currently the weakest since the Tokyo Area was established.

...

"What... what should we do, Commander Kikunojo? Wouldn't those groups target us after they're done with those creatures?"

"That makes sense! There's no way those people would be happy, especially after that broadcast!"

"Also... It's been confirmed from satellite that no one survives, and even if they do, we really can't rescue them since it's too dangerous to get close to Iwaki right now."

"We don't have enough men to go there, either way. Almost all military forces were sent off to Iwaki... now look what's happening."

"Damn it! What should we do now?!"

"..."

"Commander?"

"Tendo-san... Are you okay?"

"...I am not okay, Seitenshi-sama. But let me think for a second what we should do to save the Tokyo Area."

...

Tendo Kikunojo, as the highest commander, closed his eyes to think about what they should do while trying to hide his deep grief and sadness due to major losses.

This is because he knows that his adopted grandson (Rentaro) and granddaughter (Kisara) also joined the operation to capture Iwaki, too. Now all the military personnel sent were confirmed to be dead, which means he lost 2 family members that he cared about very much, and the successor of the Tendo family in the future.  (He didn't know that both of them managed to survive due to plot armor)

After thinking for a moment, Tendo Kikunojo, who had already resigned himself to the situation, then ordered something that surprised all government officials: "Send the nuclear bombs to Iwaki and kill both Gastrea and that group altogether. Make sure it covers all the area to make sure none of them survive."

...!!!??!!!

Hearing their commander's maniacal order, all of the Tokyo Area government officials were shocked, and even Seitenshi looked at him with disbelief.

"That... Isn't that too extreme?!"

"Commander, are you going crazy?!"

"Do we need to take it that far?!"

"Tendo-san! I don't agree with your orders! They are all trying to protect Japan from Scorpion!" (Seitenshi)

...

Already expecting her harsh rejection, Tendo Kikunojo just shook his head and patiently explained, "Seitenshi-sama, we have no choice but to do this."

"It's very obvious those groups are too dangerous to be left alive."

"We always have a choice! W-We should talk with them and negotiate... m-maybe we can work together and are willing to listen!" Seitenshi tried to persuade being a stubborn.

"Can you guarantee that they will cooperate with us? From what I see, if that group comes here, they are probably just going to kill us."

"He won't!"

"It is clear from the broadcast that the yellow-haired swordman seems to hate us and this world very much."

Seitenshi's tone is getting weaker, but she still tries to argue, "That... but Kaito is willing to protect Tokyo for a few weeks... I'm sure he's a good person."

"Then let me reveal to you something, Seitenshi-sama."

Tendo Kikunojo sighed and opened a holographic graph related to murder and lost people in the Tokyo Area past months, "Recently, there have been many murders and missing people in the Tokyo Area, and all of the victims have a record of torturing cursed children beforehand."

*Click* *Click* *Click*

...!!!

"...What is this... Why... did no one tell me?"

Looking at the sky-high graphic of lost and murdered people recently, Seitenshi was genuinely shocked and gasped, "Could it be, all of this was caused by Kaito..."

Tendo Kikunojo nodded solemnly, "It is very likely that the yellow-haired swordman did it. Killing many people in Tokyo to protect cursed children... can you still call him a good person? He doesn't have a problem with killing people he thinks are bad."

"...But he only kills bad people... he won't kill innocent people..."

"It's possible. But the risk is too high, Seitenshi-sama... and we can't gamble our lives on that small chance... as we can admit that none of us here are exactly innocent."

*BAMM*

Tendo Kikunojo slammed his table, "Besides, did you forget the most important thing, Seitenshi-sama?!"

"It was them who invited Scorpion to this country-- this situation won't happen if the yellow-haired swordman hadn't opened the suitcase."

...!!!!!

"..."

Hearing Tendo Kikunojo's anger, even though Seitenshi still didn't like his idea, she could only bow her head silently and didn't say anything furthermore.

After hearing his speech, many of the officials supported Kikunojo's extreme decision--- because, like Tendo Kikunojo, they were also afraid of Kaito's group killing them after being done with Scorpion. What if they didn't stop at killing them and wanted to kill all people in the Tokyo Area later? As the leader of the Tokyo Area, Seitenshi couldn't let that happen, even if it's just a chance... she simply can't bear the risk.

Although they didn't know that at this point, Tendo Kikunojo simply doesn't care anymore.

After all, this old man is an unreasonable person when it comes to revenge, a person who decided to oppress all cursed children because the Gastrea creature killed his family members. Although Rentaro and Kisara's 'death' was not the fault of the group members, in Tendo Kikunojo's eyes, they were the cause, and he wants the Kaito group to die!

...

In the end, Tendo Kikunojo's decision was approved by all related government officials and military leaders, and they decided to send 3 nuclear bombs to clean all the Gastrea creatures that gathered in Iwaki. Initially, they only wanted to send one of them, but knowing their identity as a group of superpowers, the Tokyo higher-ups decided to add 2 more to make sure they were all wiped out in the nuclear explosion and cover a massive area of millions of Gastrea creatures gathering in the Iwaki area.

...Of course, the chat group members who found out about this information later would become very angry, especially Kaito, who didn't expect that Tendo Kikunojo had the thought to kill his family members.

>>>>>

While everyone is fighting against the Gastrea creature to some degree, Kayaba Akihiko is the only non-combat member on the battlefield, but he has a different, important role to achieve. Unlike everyone else, Kayaba's role was to observe all the developments and opinions of the people of this world about their fight, since such a thing would be important to make their next decision after this war.

However, when Kayaba saw what the Tokyo Area wanted to nuke this area and even double checked it, even the calm Kayaba Akihiko couldn't help become panic and immediately tell everyone in the chat group about it.

=====

...

[SAO Administrator]: "@Everyone, I have confirmed that just now, the Tokyo Area government there ordered their military to launch 3 nuclear bombs towards the Iwaki area to destroy all Gastrea creatures and us together!"

[Mage of Exodus]: "What?!"

[God Tongue]: "What?!"

[Baroque Works Leader]: "What?!"

[Queen of Sekirei]: "What?!"

[Owner]: "What the fuck?! Is it my bad luck, isn't it?"

[Railgun Girl]: "What?! Are they crazy? Do they want to kill us that much?!"

....

Of course, after seeing this news, all the chat groups became angry because they did not expect the Tokyo Area government to want to exterminate them along with the Gastrea creature. Even though they were here trying to prevent the buffed Scorpion from destroying the Tokyo Area, the chat group members were stabbed in the back.

No one accepts such news well, especially Kaito. To say Kaito was furious, enraged, is an understatement. 

Kaito even has the idea to teleport to the Tokyo Area government building now and kill all the officials who gave and agreed to do such a thing to them... if they are currently not in the middle of a war with countless Gastrea creatures and having the task of retrieving Est's soul fragment in Scorpion.

Luckily, the chat group has many props to save themselves (from Kaito) and can travel to the base world/otherworld to save themselves; otherwise, this situation would be very desperate. After all, besides Saitama and Yuu, all chat group members have no confidence that they will be fine after being hit by a nuclear bomb, because apart from the explosion, there is also the radiation, which is very dangerous.

=====

[Mage of Exodus]: "Well, the nuclear bomb will clean the Gastrea creature. Thankfully, Manaka's suggestion to Kaito for developing a prop to escape in an emergency helped a lot in this case."

[Root Princess]: "You're welcome."

[Owner]: "Indeed. Didn't expect they were that crazy!"

[Mage of Exodus]: "Kayaba, how long will it take for the bomb to reach here?"

[SAO Administrator]: "2-3 minutes... since the distance is quite close to the Tokyo Area and the technology of this world is quite advanced."

[Railgun Girl]: "So fast?!"

[Owner]: "Damn it, we don't have much time! Everyone, evacuate from this place right now! We are going to make sure the Tokyo Area official are going to pay for their arrogance soon after we finish the Scorpion."

To say Kaito is enraged is an understatement, as the Tokyo Area dared to attempt to deal with them, his family, with a nuclear bomb. Before this fight, Kaito only had the idea to force the government to cooperate under their power, but now, he wanted to change all of them into powerless, cursed children and let them feel how society was going to treat them!

...

[Sekirei Number 3]: "Got it."

[Uchiha Prodigy]: "Understood. I will tell Otsutsuki Kaguya and Obito to escape too."

[God Tongue]: "Teleport or go to base world?"

[Owner]: "Both are fine, just make sure you won't be affected by the nuclear explosion area!"

[Necromancer]: "Got it."

[Elementary Grade Magical Girl]: "I will fly away with Ilya-chan!"

[Root Princess]: "I will temporarily return all the servants and the retrieve barrier, too. Kaito-kun, could you help me?"

[Owner]: "Sure. Stay in your position."

[SAO Administrator]: "Owner, I have also detected there are also a few surviving military personnel near the Iwaki area... among them also the protagonist group, and they should survive from the thing you call plot armor."

[Owner]: "Damn it, I will send a few clones and send them away to safety!"

Kaito isn't surprised in the slightest that Rentaro and others are here. After all, they are the protagonist group, and seeing how he suddenly turns into 'dark', they probably wanted to change and save Kaito or something.

Kaito naturally wanted to save them too, although he has an issue with their character; it's undeniable that they have become his friend, and Kaito won't abandon his friends.

...

[Mage of Exodus]: "Is that all? How about Saitama-sensei?"

[Owner]: "Uh... Nuclear bomb might be the ultimate human weapon, but I don't think it would do a shit to Scorpion or Saitama-sensei."

[Railgun Girl]: "Saitama-sensei and Scorpion will be fine! He's probably too busy to open the chat group right now."

[Owner]: "You are right. Enough talking, let's move!"

...

====

With Aika and Kaito's orders to evacuate from the battlefield, in less than half a minute-- all members fled in their way to save themselves. Most are capable of saving themselves using their basic movement speed, while some weaker members either need to be teleported or use Kaito props to teleport them to base.

This made the Gastrea creatures that were previously restrained immediately act more wildly in the direction of the metal suitcase (Scorpion's influence)... as if to rejoice that the group of people that trying to stop their movement was now gone. They then begin to destroy anything on their path, and even begin to escape the Iwaki area and go to the nearest settlement in the country, Tokyo.

Unfortunately for those creatures, their time is cut short by 3 fierce lights shining above their sky. Soon, the 3 nuclear bombs reached them, splitting the sky over Iwaki into three and producing a tremendous explosion force, which obliterated everything in the area.

*DUAARRR*

...!!!

*DUARRRR*

...!!!

The first obliterated the city center, where the concentration of Gastrea creatures was highest. The second was the coastal district where the chat group was centered.

*DUARRRR*

...!!!

The third struck the sea where Saitama and Scorpion fought intensely on the sea-- but naturally, both of them are fine and didn't get affected by it in the slightest.

In just a very short time, the area that was previously filled with the ruins of buildings and millions of thousands of Gastrea creatures was razed to the ground---vaporized as if it had never existed due to the explosion. Everything got obliterated, making the whole area turn into a nuclear wasteland... but at least it does solve all the Gastrea creatures that come to the area.

For the first time, Kaito watches a nuclear explosion directly, admits how terrifying this ultimate human weapon and begins to have an idea of whether he could learn how to make one too later.

He also realized, despite all of his fancy abilities, in the end, he is still very weak... as Kaito admits there's no way he would survive facing such an explosion head-on. He quietly put agenda to strengthen his own body after completed this task.
