The appearance of the Susanoo brought immense hope to the people, it was far more exhilarating than the news of the CCG collaborating with Aogiri Tree.
Even those in the 20th Ward's 'Safe Zone', like Yoshimura Kuzen and the others, as well as the members of the CCG and Aogiri Tree, could faintly see that azure-blue giant in the distance.
Yoshimura Kuzen recognized at a glance that it was Uchiha Byakuya.
"Byakuya-kun is already fighting with all he's got, we must give it our all as well…"
By this time, quite a few "Children of the Dragon" had already surrounded Anteiku.
Yoshimura Kuzen stood at the very front, having already transformed into the "Non-Killing Owl."
As long as the "Non-Killing Owl" didn't hold back, it didn't matter how many "Children of the Dragon" came, in the end, they were meaningless.
The damage dealt by the "Children of the Dragon" couldn't even keep up with the regenerative speed of the "Non-Killing Owl."
Especially since ghouls could, in fact, absorb the cells of the "Children of the Dragon."
Put another way, the "Children of the Dragon" were like walking RC cell packages.
The more the "Non-Killing Owl" fought against the "Children of the Dragon," the stronger he might eventually become.
"Although it's a bit of a hassle, I guess I'll do my part too~"
At this moment, Hoito Roma also transformed into her kakuja form, the "Dogdy Mother"
Although her favorite pastime was watching mayhem unfold, she knew that when it was time to actually contribute, she had to contribute.
The more credit she earned now, the more chaos she could enjoy later.
That included Yomo Renji, Koma Enji, and Irimi Kaya, who all played crucial roles as well.
They each summoned the members of the ghoul groups "Clowns," "Apes," and "Black Dobers."
"Renji, I've already brought over the people you needed."
Uta appeared out of nowhere beside Renji, raising his hand as if to place it on Renji's shoulder.
But Renji just dodged it.
"Uta-kun, you're here too, huh."
Roma greeted Uta as if he were an old friend.
Although the "Devil Apes" and "Black Dobers" had long since disbanded, their members remained deeply loyal to their original leaders, Koma Enji and Irimi Kaya.
At a call, they came without hesitation.
Koma Enji and Irimi Kaya, after a long time, once again donned their "Devil Ape" and "Black Dog" masks.
"Black Dog, I never noticed before but your mask is really ugly."
At that moment, Koma Enji commented as he looked at Irimi Kaya's mask.
"You're one to talk."
Irimi Kaya immediately glared at him.
"But don't go dying at the hands of those ugly freaks, the 'Children of the Dragon.' If you do, I'll laugh at you for the rest of my life."
"You wish. It's been years since I last stretched my muscles, but dealing with these things is a piece of cake."
Koma Enji flexed his joints, and the moment he finished speaking, he charged directly at the horde of dragon children.
Of course, Uruka Minami and Arima Kishou were also present.
"Arima-kun, I'll cover your back."
At that moment, Minami and Arima Kishou stood back to back.
"Mm…"
Though Arima could already manage a full 360-degree defense and evasion on his own, he didn't say anything in reply.
It could be said that the forces concentrated in this "Safe Zone" battlefield were even more terrifying than those of the CCG and Aogiri Tree.
The entire "Battle for the Defense of Tokyo" was primarily centered around two main battlegrounds: Anteiku and the "CCG + Aogiri Tree" alliance.
Second to that were the various regions where scattered ghouls were resisting the "Children of the Dragon" on their own.
The existence of the "Safe Zone" was also completely exposed to the public by the media around.
Who would have thought that such a humble looking coffee shop had actually gathered so many high-ranking ghouls?
However, what moved people the most was not the massive battle or the terrifying power on display; it was the sight of Minami, a ghoul, and Arima, an investigator, standing back to back in combat.
It turned out that there could be a time when humans and ghouls trusted each other like this.
"Your kakuja form has gotten even bigger, it's already several dozen meters tall now…"
Yoshimura Eto looked at the figure floating in midair and was once again astonished by Byakuya's kakuja transformation.
"I thought the one you used back at the CCG was already your limit. I didn't think it could get even more outrageous."
Eto exclaimed in awe.
"Actually… this still isn't my limit."
Byakuya said with a smile.
"This still isn't?"
Yoshimura Eto's eyes widened, her beautiful pupils blinking rapidly.
"You're really good at hiding things, huh. Never showing your true strength."
"You'll see soon enough."
Byakuya didn't waste any time and immediately advanced into his Fourth Form, the form he needed; Karasu-Tengu Form!
Washuu Estate.
Washuu Yoshitoki was keeping tabs on the outside world via his phone.
The moment he saw the third form of the Susanoo, he could no longer remain calm.
"Look quickly! That's Byakuya's kakuja form!"
Washuu Yoshitoki immediately handed the phone to the nearby Washuu Tsuneyoshi.
But Washuu Tsuneyoshi, being advanced in age and slightly farsighted, not only furrowed his brows but also had to hold the phone at a distance to even see it clearly.
The scene looked somewhat comical.
"Even that wasn't his limit…"
Washuu Tsuneyoshi murmured in a trembling tone.
They had never understood how Byakuya, being a half-human, was capable of undergoing a kakuja transformation.
Perhaps he had undergone a kakuhou transplant surgery at some unknown institute, one the Washuu family had never heard of.
Aside from that, they couldn't think of any other explanation.
But what mattered most right now was Byakuya's kakuja form.
That towering figure, more than several dozen meters in height had already made Washuu Tsuneyoshi feel a bit uneasy.
The "Dragon" may be large, but that didn't mean it was invincible.
If Byakuya managed to locate its core and destroy it, everything would be over.
"I knew it! Byakuya-nii will definitely win!"
Among the three men in the archive room, only Washuu Nimura had a completely different reaction.
"Don't celebrate too early. The dust hasn't settled yet."
Washuu Yoshitoki said calmly.
In truth, he also hoped that Byakuya could stop "Dragon."
He didn't place particular importance on the Washuu family's interests, he had always just followed orders.
If the "Dragon" lost control, even with the Washuu family's current power, they wouldn't be able to stop it.
In that case, it wouldn't just be Tokyo, all of Japan would suffer catastrophe.
Although a kakuja over several dozen meters tall didn't necessarily guarantee a victory over the "Dragon"-
Just as Washuu Yoshitoki had that thought, the next moment, they saw Byakuya's Susanoo on the screen suddenly sit down cross-legged.
As everyone wondered what Byakuya was about to do, the Susanoo's entire body underwent a massive transformation.
Not only did its size rapidly expand, but a Karasu-Tengu armor emerged from its form, and blue flames seemed to ignite all across its entire body.
Even without its legs, this Karasu-Tengu form of the Susanoo had already reached a height of one hundred meters!
A little nod to Madara-sama.

Original Author's note: Regarding the terms "complete form" and "final form," don't get too hung up on it. The naming conventions were already unified earlier; Karasu-Tengu is the Fourth Form, and anything beyond that is the Complete Form. This way, it's less of a hassle. As long as everyone gets what I mean, it's all good.
