140: Everyone has assembled in Tokyo. Madara Uchiha: Everyone's here.

Seventy-two hours remain until the gate opens.

The entire Tokyo has completely turned into a heavily fortified military fortress.

Armored vehicles of the five nations' armies patrol the empty streets, the tracks of tanks crushing fallen leaves in front of Ginza luxury stores, making a piercing sound.

The airspace above the city has been designated an absolute no-fly zone.

Drones from all global media, like vultures circling outside the restricted area, broadcast every move of this ghost town twenty-four hours a day without interruption.

The center of the storm is exceptionally calm... Magic City International Airport.

A VIP passage exclusively for government dignitaries has been temporarily cleared.

Caster Furina, wearing modern clothes convenient for movement and a wide-brimmed hat covering most of her face, quickly walked toward the apron under the escort of several Ninth Bureau special agents in black suits.

Her three Hydro summons had now turned into harmless forms.

Lord Uther had turned into an octopus-shaped plush pendant, hanging from her suitcase handle.

Madam Heivima and Miss Xebelda turned into two small and cute seahorse and crab brooches, pinned to her collar, swaying slightly with her steps.

A special plane printed with the bright national emblem of China had been waiting for a long time.

Furina boarded the gangway, looked back at the city she had played in for a long time, and then walked into the cabin without looking back... At the same time.

Tokyo, British-controlled area, Yokota Air Base.

A Boeing 777 passenger plane belonging to John Bull Royal Aviation, led by a guide car, slowly taxied to the designated parking spot.

The cabin door opened.

Rider Isaac Newton walked off the plane alone.

He still wore that 17th-century scholar's robe embroidered with alchemy symbols, holding that cane inlaid with a prism in his hand.

He carried no luggage.

Or rather, for him, he himself was the most massive knowledge and power.

The John Bull garrison commander, a man with the rank of brigadier general, stepped forward quickly, just about to speak and report.

"Your Lordship, I am..."

"Shut up."

Newton didn't even look at him, walking straight past him.

"I am not interested in your soldiers' games. Do not use your muscle-stuffed brains to disturb my calculations."

The brigadier general froze on the spot, his long prepared speech all stuck in his throat.

He could only watch as this man, who represented the end of science, walked into the temporary laboratory prepared for him as if inspecting his own garden... Bucharest, Romania.

An unmarked Il-76 military transport plane roared into the sky under the cover of night.

Inside the cabin, Lancer Vlad III sat with his eyes closed.

His Master, Radu Petrescu, was meticulously wiping a military dagger, the scar on his face looking particularly hideous in the dim light.

The two men said not a single word.

But the killing intent in the cabin, as heavy as substance, almost froze the air... Vatican.

In the prayer room, Ruler Jeanne dArc performed a farewell gesture to the Pope.

She turned around and walked toward the Berserker Arjuna, who was bound by golden chains and still in a deep sleep.

The golden chains hummed and slowly tightened, the other end automatically wrapping around Jeanne's fair arm.

"O Lord, please witness the end of this war."

Accompanied by the girl's soft prayer, the next moment, she and the bound Berserker turned into countless golden points of light and vanished into thin air... China's temporary command center in Yokohama, Tokyo.

In a quiet room, the fragrance of tea curled up.

Saber Li Bai and his Master Zhang Ruoxu were sitting on either side of a Go board.

On the board, the black and white stones had already fought to the mid-game, the situation was complex and difficult to resolve.

Li Bai held a white stone, suspended in mid-air, hesitating to place it.

He sensed several powerful and distinct auras arriving one after another.

Zhang Ruoxu picked up the teacup and took a small sip.

"The wind is about to rise."

Li Bai smiled, and the white stone in his hand landed cleanly on the Tianyuan position of the board with a snap.

"When the wind rises, one should drink a large bowl of wine."

...America, Yokosuka Naval Base.

On the deck of the USS Ronald Reagan aircraft carrier, the sea breeze howled.

Archer Franklin Delano Roosevelt sat in his wheelchair, gazing in the direction of Tokyo.

His Master, Captain Evan Cross, stood behind him as straight as a javelin... Shinjuku Ward, at the top of a skyscraper.

A figure that had been sitting cross-legged slowly opened his eyes.

Dark red armor, a flame war fan, and those crimson Sharingan eyes with three slowly rotating tomoe.

Assassin, Uchiha Madara.

He sensed one powerful aura after another, strong enough to tear the earth apart, appearing in this city.

A long-awaited curve spread across Uchiha Madara's lips.

He slowly stood up and spread his arms, as if to embrace the whole world.

His voice was not loud, but it echoed on the empty rooftop.

"Finally..."

"Everyone is here."

...Thirty-six hours remain until the gate opens.

While the secular armies and extraordinary Servants focused all their attention on Tokyo, another war had already reached a white-hot stage in the network world invisible to humans.

A website named "New World Pioneer Forum" was quietly established on the dark web.

Black background, jumping green code, and a completely anonymous posting mechanism.

This place became a carnival ground for global careerists, madmen, scientists, and lunatics.

Within three hours of the website's establishment, the number of registered members exceeded one million and was still growing crazily at a geometric rate.

The pinned post on the homepage was a Basic Guide for Survival and Pioneering in the Mirror World V1.0 published by an anonymous person.

【Hot Sections】

【Geological Survey and Resource Development】:

A user with the ID "MIT_PhD_in_Geology" published a paper over ten thousand words long.

By modeling the geological data of the main world Earth, it accurately predicted the precise coordinates of dozens of ultra-large rare metal veins, oil fields, and diamond mines in the Mirror World.

Below the post, countless IDs claiming to represent certain consortiums or national interests were bidding crazily, trying to buy out this coordinate data.

The price had already soared from one million dollars to nine figures.

【Physical Rule Application and Weaponization】:

The discussion in this section was even crazier.

"Since the Mirror World has no life, it means there are no microorganisms. So, what does an absolutely sterile environment mean for biological experiments?"

"No atmospheric resistance, no Coriolis force. If we build a railgun on the equator, what level could its range and power reach? Could it knock down the moon with one shot?"

"I have an idea. Using the slight differences that may exist in the time flow rate between the two worlds, can we build a 'natural' supercomputer?"

These crazy ideas, which would be considered fantasies in the real world, were being analyzed for feasibility here by a group of top scientists and engineers with an extremely rigorous attitude.

【Colony Construction and Social Structure】:

The discussion here was full of politics and intrigue.

"Regarding the naming rights of the first colonial city, I suggest a public auction."

"We must establish a brand-new set of laws in the New World, a set of laws that truly serves the pioneers! The morals and rules of the Old World do not apply to the New Continent!"

"Alert! According to my intelligence, Five Permanent Members have already begun secretly recruiting the first batch of 'pioneers,' with quotas strictly limited to the military, scientific research institutions, and large state-owned enterprises! We civilians must unite to fight for our own tickets!"

Countless true and false intelligence and various guides gathered and fermented here.

Intelligence agency personnel from various countries had already swarmed into this muddy water like sharks. While crazily collecting valuable intelligence, they also posted various false 'guides' to try to lead potential competitors astray.

Greed, ambition, wisdom, lies... human's most primitive desire for pioneering was completely ignited under the temptation of this huge cake of a brand-new, masterless Earth.
