Chapter 141: The Beginning of the Great War
The actions of the Hatsune Victory Team and the Buddha Light Team essentially handed the initiative over to S.H.I.E.L.D. and Nick Fury.
The director of S.H.I.E.L.D., Mr. Blacklight, clearly did not waste this opportunity. He quickly took action, although this time, his actions had little to do with Bai Luo and the others.
Nick approved Sato Ryuseki's proposal to "temporarily safeguard" the Cosmic Cube, but he also made a request: he wanted the other party to hand over Loki as a show of good faith.
In fact, Sato Ryuseki's other "good faith" item, the Hatsune Miku music box, had already been directly submitted by Bai Luo. They couldn't use that thing for now; although it was a powerful weapon, it was useless if they couldn't utilize it. Bai Luo thought it better to hand it over early, as it would hold more leverage in Nick's hands.
Of course, if Bai Luo could use that item right now, he wouldn't have easily handed it over to Nick.
Nick Fury's proposal was rejected by Sato Ryuseki. He claimed that his relationship with Loki was merely one of cooperation and that he couldn't hand anyone over. Moreover, Loki was extremely powerful; they couldn't subdue him and deliver him up.
Naturally, Nick didn't buy into such talk about Loki's immense strength.
However, with the situation as it was, Nick had no way to force the issue. He was currently in a cooperative stance with Sato Ryuseki and couldn't afford to break relations outright. Instead, he made another request for Thor to meet Loki.
This request was easily agreed upon by Sato Ryuseki, which was actually suggested by Bai Luo. He understood very well that when Sato Ryuseki proposed cooperation with S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Avengers, it meant that Loki's status as a former ally of the Hatsune Victory Team had suddenly become awkward. Although Sato Ryuseki might have said many good things afterward to appease the trickster god, Bai Luo was certain that with Loki's character and intelligence, he would undoubtedly become suspicious and even entertain other thoughts. Thor didn't need to do much; just a little guidance would suffice. If Loki had any intention at all, he would surely take action in the future.
From what Bai Luo knew, Nick had informed Vikas about Sato Ryuseki's cooperation invitation and "conspiracy" almost immediately. Using his methods, he managed to keep the Reincarnators of the Buddha Light Team at bay for now, hiding in the shadows.
Bai Luo couldn't help but smirk, thinking that Nick Fury was even more cunning than he was; he intended to kill two birds with one stone.
But Bai Luo was not concerned; after all, this group of Reincarnators had their own hidden agendas, and no one had pure intentions. They all approached the situation with the mindset of a one-night stand. Even if Nick wanted to be polite, Bai Luo would still take action. Now that Nick had made the first move, it left Bai Luo with no choice but to wait patiently.
And indeed, after Bai Luo's negotiations with Sato Ryuseki, Vikas made his move about four days later.
At this point, the massive magic circle or barrier being drawn by the Reincarnators of the Hatsune Victory Team in Water City was nearing completion, which was their limit of tolerance.
This moment of action was crucial for Vikas and his group of Reincarnators. The reason was simple: according to their judgment, the Hatsune Victory Team's Reincarnators were about to complete the final step of the magic circle. They chose this moment to strike in order to attack from both sides. Vikas, the most powerful and enigmatic member of the Buddha Light Team, would launch an assault on the other Reincarnators of the Hatsune Victory Team, while Tiger Lee would lead another group from the Buddha Light Team to ambush Sato Ryuseki.
According to Buddha Light Team's plan, this was undoubtedly the best combination. Although SHIELD claimed that they would not deploy any ground troops due to heavy losses and would only use Aircraft Carriers for support from afar, over time, the members of Buddha Light Team had basically figured out the strengths of Hatsune Victory Team members. Their abilities varied widely; Vikas could easily suppress most Japanese Reincarnators. Although two Reincarnators from Vikas's side had already fallen in battle, Tiger Lee was strong in his own right, and Dog-headed Man had significant advantages in various aspects. Paitun was another who had never shown his true strength. According to their reasoning, facing a captain from Hatsune Victory Team should not pose a problem; even if there were issues, they could likely delay things for a while.
This way, they could attack on both fronts—rendering the magic circle or barrier set up by Hatsune Victory Team in Water City completely ineffective while annihilating this Japanese Reincarnator team and securing victory in this team battle.
As for Nick's attitude at SHIELD, it was clear: his people had suffered heavy casualties in the last battle at Nishiden River District—some dead, some injured, some missing. This time he would not deploy ground troops but could provide air-to-ground missile support.
Of course, that was what he said; when the fighting truly began and SHIELD's missiles were launched, it would be beyond what these Reincarnators could control.
It seemed that both Buddha Light Team and Hatsune Victory Team were quite confident in their ultimate victory. However, Bai Luo understood Nick's true intention: he wanted to retrieve the Cosmic Cube and capture both groups of Reincarnators to interrogate them about their abilities and origins while making them pay for the destruction they caused on Earth.
His plan was straightforward: once these two groups finished fighting or were nearly done, he would send people in to take them all down.
However, Nick was unaware that once these two teams of Reincarnators finished their battle—even if there were any survivors—he wouldn't be able to catch a single one as they would all be teleported back to Main God Space.
On that day, the entire Water City sprang into action.
The battle erupted first on Vikas's side, and from a distance, one could see the flames rising from a corner of Water City. However, Bai Luo did not move. His task was to keep an eye on the battlefield where Sato Ryuseki was located. This was a request he made himself, as he felt that the young man wearing thick glasses was not simple at all. If anything were to happen, it would surely be here with Sato Ryuseki.
Thus, even though Bai Luo knew that there might be opportunities or heads from Reincarnators for him to pick up on Vikas's side, he still chose to remain in his position, observing the situation on Sato Ryuseki's side.
And indeed, it seemed that this was the case.
When Tiger Lee revealed himself and ignited the entire second floor where Sato Ryuseki was hiding with his soul fire, the young man calmly walked out of the house. He adjusted his glasses and fixed his gaze on the massive Dog-headed Man, Tiger Lee, who possessed the Nerathus Bloodline, with an expression that showed no signs of tension.
