East Ocean, Osaka. Midnight. Seventy kilometers away from the center of Osaka.
There was a very traditional castle here, which was said to have been passed down since the Warring States Period in the East Ocean. The white outer walls and cyan glazed tiles had been constantly repainted over the years, so the Japanese-style castle looked as good as new.
The castle was built in the middle of the mountains. In the original Warring States Period, it was a place that was easy to defend and difficult to attack. It was also a place that the military fought for.
But with the passage of time, the usefulness of this ancient castle was gradually forgotten by people. It was unknown whether it was intentional or human beings were forgetful creatures.
The beautiful castle was not far from the bustling city of Osaka in the East Ocean, but it was famous.
Most people in the East Ocean did not know the location of the castle. Perhaps it was because the castle was located in the middle of the mountains? Who knew?
Of course, it could not be ruled out that the owner of the castle was not an ordinary person.
The ownership of the castle was in the hands of an organization that had been around for nearly eight hundred years. The name of this organization was the famous Yamato Society of the East Ocean's underground world.
There was a saying in the East Ocean: The East Ocean was managed by the government during the day, while the East Ocean was managed by the underground society at night.
In the East Ocean, the two major underground organizations had completed the subterfuge of the entire government. The government of the East Ocean could only exercise its authority during the day, while the night was their world.
One of them was the Yashida Group that managed the entire Kanto region. On the surface, it was a legal company, but in reality, it was the leader of the East Ocean's underground society. The leader of this group, Yashida Mariko, was a ruthless woman.
The other was the leader of the Kanto region — the Yamato Society. The original leader should have been Takanobu Yoshisawa, but this unlucky fellow had died in New York, killed by Li Jie during the Beast incident.
Originally, the Yashida Group wanted to annex all of the Yamato Society's properties, including the castle.
But they did not expect that after the death of the original leader of the Yamato Society, the new leader would be even more powerful and cruel.
The new leader of the Hand Peace Society was the guy that Li Jie had been searching for, a man named Kim Pyong.
The tall Kim Pyong stood on the top of the Heavensguard Pavilion, looking into the distance as if he was waiting for someone to arrive.
"Is he not here yet?" Kim Pyong asked the person next to him.
"Not yet," replied Kim Pyong's right-hand man, Bullseye. This guy who had a gun target tattooed on his forehead was a little twisted and perverted.
However, he was Kim Pyong's best assistant. Perhaps the two of them were similar in certain aspects.
"Who are you waiting for? Kim Pyong." A dignified and hoarse voice came from behind Kim Pyong, followed by a series of orderly footsteps.
At some point, nine people had appeared in the Heavensguard Pavilion.
The leader was wearing a green cloak and a full set of metal armor. This was not the design of Tony's Iron Man Armor. It was not as fancy as Tony Stark's, just a simple iron color.
The design of this Iron Man Armor came from its owner, and it was completely independent from the inside out.
Under the cold moonlight, the armor glowed coldly. The man's face was covered by a steel mask, and only a pair of eyes could be seen through the gap of the mask.
The emotionless look in his eyes made even people like Bullseye feel a little scared.
The person who came was the King of Latvia, King Dum. Behind him were his personal guards, all of whom were clad in powerful steel armor.
"Welcome, President Doom. I've been waiting for your arrival. " Kim Pyong had a warm smile on his face. It was impossible to tell that he was the king of the American underground world, and at the same time, half of the East Ocean's underground world.
"Now that I'm here, are you ready?" Doom's voice was still dignified and cold.
"Also, compared to the title of President, I prefer people to call me Doctor. I'm a scientist." Dum corrected Kingpin's way of addressing him.
"Of course, Doctor Doom. Thank you very much for your support. Without your support, I'm afraid our plan wouldn't have gone so smoothly. "Kim Pyong followed Doom, while Bullseye was stopped by Doom's guards.
Kim Pyong led Doom down the stairs of the Heavensguard Pavilion until they reached the depths of the castle. After that, they took a special elevator to a depth of nearly five kilometers.
This was where the secret of the Shogun Society was kept for so many years, as well as the true god they worshiped, Beast.
Doom slowly walked out of the elevator. There was a huge and spacious underground space. The Onmyojis of the Shogun Society stood on both sides, trembling.
A huge and bottomless hole was in the center of the space.
A few huge and thick special iron chains were hanging on the top of the cave, forming a special magic formation, on which numerous talismans were pasted.
These were the secret skills of the Shogun Society's Onmyojis.
"Let me see what they're capable of," Doom said as he stood at the edge of the hole.
"Honorable sir, this is very dangerous. We've already lost Beast. There's nothing here that can suppress the evil spirits below, "an older Onmyojis said.
"You only need to follow my orders, not question them." Doom's voice was cold.
Following his words, the guards he brought with him moved. They were all equipped with Doom's specially developed weapons, the molten guns.
One shot was enough to vaporize a human in an instant. Even the strongest Russian frontal force, the Steel Torrent, could not resist this weapon.
That was because the radiation produced after the molten guns hit the armor was enough to kill the crew inside the tank.
Ten guards with such equipment were enough to overturn a Russian tank battalion, and they could even win completely.
The eight guards raised their weapons. These Onmyojis seemed to know how powerful these guys were, and had probably seen them before.
The Onmyojis trembled as they removed the chains and talismans sealing the hole. A dark and cruel aura began to emerge from the depths of the ground.
Just standing beside the hole was a form of torture, because the energy emitted from the hole was enough to drive people crazy.
The Shogun Society's Onmyojis put up a barrier and tried their best to resist the negative energy coming from the ground.
But it seemed to have little effect, and the Onmyojis' resistance was getting weaker and weaker. When the final barrier shattered, the howls of evil spirits seemed to come from the depths of the hole.
Perhaps it wasn't as if, but there really were evil spirits howling.
"Looks like it's real, this really is an entrance to hell." Doom didn't seem to be worried about his own safety at all. He walked to the edge of the hole and looked down.
Suddenly, a red demon appeared from the hole. It had the same bat wings as in the legends, and a curved demon horn on its head.
It had strong arms and a strong body, and a long demon tail. The only difference from the legends was that it didn't have red skin, but black.
But this couldn't hide its evil nature. "Smell of humans." The demon's mouth was drooling, and it couldn't speak clearly.
But it was useless even if it spoke clearly, because it was speaking in the demon's language, and not many people present could understand it.
But Doom didn't need to understand what the demon was saying. Because the demon's next action already showed what it was going to do.
He unfurled his wings and flew towards Dum, who was closest to him.
The guards had already readied their guns and were ready to fire. The moment the demons began to move, the eight guns were already firing at full force.
The guns started to operate at full power, and a buzzing sound came from the gun barrels. Immediately after, a red beam of death sliced through the air, leaving a trail of burnt energy in the air.
"Human weapons are useless against demons." The red demon thought so, and it didn't even think about dodging the death beams that were surging toward it.
"Ridiculous demon." Doom said it was ridiculous, but he didn't smile at all.
He looked calmly at the demon that was about to pounce on him, but was instantly disintegrated by the heat beams from the guns. His eyes were full of disdain.
The commotion in the cave grew louder. Doom took out a small metal ball and threw it into the ground.
The violent and restless underground cave instantly calmed down.
"Seal it up," Doom said. The Onmyojis felt like they were pardoned, and they quickly sealed the entrance to Hell.
"Doctor, please forgive my curiosity, but what did you just throw down?" Kim Pyong followed beside Doom, and the two were about to take the elevator back to the surface.
"Just some souls," Doom replied. "If we really want to go to Hell, we need enough souls as stepping stones."
"More than ten years ago, I met a group of monks in the Tibetan Plateau in China. They taught me many things that I couldn't learn in university. "
"I've heard about your governance in Latvia. Although the outside world has doubts, Latvia is very peaceful now." Kim Pyong was a little suspicious about the origin of Doom's soul.
"There's no war, and there's no hunger. It's no longer the war-torn country when the Soviet Union disintegrated. "
"Yes, Latvia is my country. Although I don't have much passion for this country. But my mother once sacrificed her life for the peace of this country. And I will carry on my mother's will. "
When Doom said this, it was the only time he expressed any emotion tonight.
"So these souls came from the frontline in Eastern Europe. There's nothing better than war to collect souls."
"This is the craziest madman I've ever seen, even crazier than me!" Bullseye cursed in his heart. He knew he was already crazy, but he didn't expect Doom to be even crazier.
He could even sacrifice the lives of millions of people for his own plan.
"We've already disposed of most of the nuclear waste from the Stanich family's island." Kim Pyong was very rational and didn't respond to Doom's words. He was afraid that whatever he said would be wrong, so it was better to change the subject.
"Got it. I'll have those things shipped over." Doom's emotions were very quickly restrained. His mood swings could no longer be felt.
"Although it's a bit unreasonable, I still want to know what those things are used for. It's very dangerous to dispose of nuclear waste. "Kim Pyong had always been relatively humble in front of Doom.
As a world-class mafia boss, he knew very well what kind of attitude he should show in front of people.
"I believe we're all together today for the same reason, Kim Pyong. I can tell you some things. Those are weapons, but they haven't finished the final assembly. "Doom didn't refuse to answer Kim Pyong's question.
"Someone once came to me and asked if I was willing to make a deal with him."
"I refused because no one can make a deal with the White Wolf Glove in front of me. Not even a so-called demon. "
"That guy thinks too highly of himself and underestimates me."
"He thinks I'll make a deal with a demon who goes back on his word? And then be at his mercy? "
"He left, but he didn't know that he had left a loophole. He shouldn't have let me know about his world. Or as a demon, does he think that humans can be manipulated by him? "
"The first rule of any deal is an equivalent exchange. Perhaps as a demon, he doesn't understand this rule of the human world. "
"And I'll teach him deeply that he should show the right attitude when making a deal with someone."
