I'm a demon in Tokyo!

Chapter 403: A wondrous sight of a golden giant in the sea of ​​calamity! Misjudgment, the blood moon behind the corpses, second playthrough begins.

The bluish-purple lightning in Asahikawa City fell like rain, directly dispelling the crawling darkness that covered more than half the city and illuminating countless dark pupils.

After acquiring the Grandmaster-level Spirit Control Technique and the Lightning Control Physique, Uesugi Tetsuya could use the relatively weak Five Thunder Technique with ease, as if it were breathing.

The spiritual energy consumed by the lightning magic in the previous breath was drawn into Uesugi Tetsu's body from the entire city of Asahikawa in the next breath.

"It's just that the spiritual energy in Asahikawa City is far too thin; no wonder it doesn't produce any outstanding figures..."

Uesugi Tetsuya, who had almost drained the entire city of Asahikawa in just a few gulps, suddenly changed his mind and did not absorb the last bit of spiritual energy into his body.

Instead, by pressing down with his palm, he caused the blue-purple lightning flashing in the sky to converge and transform into a deeper purplish-black color.

In the next instant, thousands upon thousands of purplish-black lightning bolts transformed into sharp swords and long blades, carrying terrifying heavenly might as they slashed towards the fierce monster whose killing pattern had been triggered by him.

The pitiful monsters that rushed towards Uesugi Che were cut into pieces by the Five Thunder Technique before they could even get close to him within a thousand meters, becoming more than half their original size.

Some of the weaker and more ferocious creatures were directly annihilated in the lightning.

Uesugi Tetsu ignored the extremely difficult-to-kill yet stingy "soul ash storage jars" and instead added fuel to the already raging fire of the flesh-body deity!
In an instant, the golden flames on the surface of the physical deity expanded vigorously.

Under such an exaggeratedly intense burning condition, even Uesugi Tetsuya in his current state could only last for less than three minutes before turning to ashes.

Uesugi Tetsu's body was almost transparent like jade, and one could even faintly see through his skin the green blood flowing within, its vitality rapidly fading away.

The core of the Myriad Spirits Furnace was roaring silently, striving to compress all the vast spiritual power into a single, instantaneous burst.

The lightning that extinguished the darkness and severed the fierce and treacherous was merely scraps of spiritual power that it could not use.

"The power... did not increase exponentially due to burning."

Uesugi Tetsu thought to himself.

This is normal, because even if one's power can be theoretically increased infinitely, there is always a marginal benefit to this increase.

The fact that the Divine Treasure of the Calamity Sea could elevate him from a non-god-like state to one comparable to a powerful being among gods and demons is already quite outrageous.

Uesugi Tetsu had never heard of such methods before.

Even with all his tricks except his trump cards before he possessed the Divine Treasure of the Sea of ​​Calamity, he could only barely defeat a disgrace like the "factory manager".

Moreover, the physical body of the deity is not very powerful now, and the mastery and development of the Divine Treasure of the Calamity Sea is only 5%.

The intense burning now not only provides more room for development of the Divine Treasure of the Calamity Sea itself, but also makes the enhancement of certain "permanent" attributes in the description of the Divine Treasure more obvious.

These were all sensations that Uesugi Tetsu felt after his intuition had been exaggeratedly amplified.

If ordinary people are burning their irretrievable lives and souls, then he is burning a cheap health bar that can be completely refreshed twice a day.

Burn more, be healthier.

At the same time, the golden flames emanating from the physical deity seated atop the sea of ​​calamity soared straight into the sky, and the warmth could be clearly felt even by mayflies a thousand meters away.

As the mayflies grew densely, more and more of them "saw" the physical deity, and the story of the "golden giant spectacle" gradually spread among the mayflies.

The golden flames on the giants' bodies restored their strength and stamina, allowing them to rush further and deeper into the Sea of ​​Calamity.

Uesugi Tetsu was unaware of this.

He simply unleashed his power without restraint, dismembering all the terrifying and bizarre creatures that could be seen at a glance in Asahikawa City, and then using lightning as a cleaner as much as possible.

Now that things have come to this, Uesugi Tetsuya will no longer hold back his power for fear of disturbing the "thing in the sky," since he will be slaying it soon anyway.

Another wave of lightning swept across, and Uesugi Tetsuya's majestic and indifferent voice, along with the dissipating spiritual energy, rumbled through the steel forest.
"If you want to live, don't look up at the sky!"

"If you encounter any remaining lanterns with human heads, hide or run for your life!"

The vast expanse of black and red energy transformed into a giant net, gathering and enveloping half of the human head lanterns in the sky, plunging them into a still deep darkness.

Sufficient amounts of Qi are enough to form a simple Qi circulation.

As long as there is no attack from a powerful external force, this protective energy net, which contains at least 100,000 lantern heads, can continue to exist.

Inside the room, Kujo Machi silently observed the streets around her, now so much cleaner, and noticing the reduction in the number of lanterns adorned with crowds. Suddenly, she asked,
"What is he doing? How can he manage such reckless behavior?"

Chisa replied, seemingly unrelated to the question.

"If it's something my master can do to help, he definitely won't hesitate to offer help without affecting his own contribution."

Upon hearing this, Kujo Machi lowered his head, staring at the protective charm in his hand, which contained exquisite power and fluctuated with five-colored spiritual energy, unsure of what to say.

Above the illuminated sky in the distance, apart from Kujo Machi, no one could see the huge, pale corpse hanging above Uesugi Tetsuya.

That is why, apart from her, no one knew what kind of terrifying existence Uesugi Tetsu was facing.

"Overlimit state, released."

Click.

As if shackles were breaking, a dreamlike sound rang in his ears, and Uesugi Tetsu could feel himself entering a "completely new realm" that was hard to explain.

—His understanding of everything he has learned so far, and his predictions of what will happen in the future, are all crystal clear!

His thoughts drifted to the auras of the various spirits and deities who had gathered after the Seed Wars ended, eager to get to know him.

These ghosts and gods... seem to be nothing special after all.

Uesugi Tetsu recalled Nanjo Aimi's presence when she was carving the core of the All-Spirit Furnace for him.

In an instant, the agitation in his eyes caused by the overwhelming power vanished.

My intuition is telling me—

Nanjo-nee is still as strong as ever.

The same applies to the corpse of the palace official in the sky.

Uesugi Tetsu knew that even though the priest's corpse was just an inanimate object, it would still be extremely difficult for him to cut it down, and he would have to use all his strength to have a chance.

Even if this corpse has been hanging in the sky for countless years, it still stands at the pinnacle of ghosts and gods.

Perhaps, this priest of Shiratsu Shrine was also someone who had crossed the threshold of becoming an Aragami during his lifetime.

Uesugi Tetsu gripped the Spider Cutter at his waist, the blood-red eyes on the hilt growing even more alluring, eagerly awaiting their master's use.

Just before he drew his sword, the black chains that had been binding the corpse of the priest swayed slightly, causing Uesugi Tetsu's myriad thoughts to rise and fall uncontrollably.

—If he hadn't spent an unexpected day and a half cultivating the four ultimate forms before actually arriving in Asahikawa City, completed the Flesh Palace Ultimate, and forged the unprecedented Calamity Sea Divine Treasury.

At this point, even using the ultimate state and activating the Six-Tailed Fox's "Rage of the Extreme" might not be enough to sever the corpse of the palace guard, who is fundamentally far superior to him.

—But if they hadn't trained before their arrival, perhaps the priest and the priestess wouldn't be dead yet, and the situation in Asahikawa City wouldn't have deteriorated to this point. Everything would still be in time.

Naturally, there was no need for him to make a desperate move at this moment to kill the palace attendant's corpse.

possible……

possible……

"Who can say for sure which is good or bad, which is more important or less important?"

"What's done is done, why should we look back?"

Uesugi Tetsu calmly responded to the millions of thoughts that arose and vanished, letting them all disappear.

His mind was as clear as a mirror lake, and he no longer thought about anything.

A clear, deep blue color emerged from the sheath.

Before the Spider Cutter could be fully drawn, the black chains that had been used to seal the corpse of the priest went berserk, bursting forth from the corpse's facial features one after another! They aimed to seal and envelop Uesugi Tetsuya in the sky!

Instantly, a feeling of being about to be sealed off spread through Uesugi Tetsuya's mind.

He was somewhat puzzled.
"Why do these chains attack me? Why are I bound up like this palace guard's corpse?"

"Could it be a special mechanism to prevent external forces from rescuing the palace priest's corpse?"

Although puzzled, Uesugi Tetsuya did not stay put and surrender.

The overwhelming black chains had just surged forth when countless fleeting futures flashed through his pitch-black eyes.

Uesugi Tetsu sighed softly in resignation, but the spider-slaying sword in his hand grew even more excited.

"That's the only one we can use..."

The long, narrow, azure blade was fully drawn, and after being coated with a layer of black and red aura and purified pure white lightning, it emitted a long-lost, exhilarating sword cry.

The instant the Spider Slicer's blade was aimed at the corpse of the priest, the three-stage deadly thrust ignored the countless black chains in the sky.

As they passed over them, the three thrusts landed simultaneously, without any sequence, on the same spot between the eyebrows of the palace attendant's corpse.

When the blade strikes, it will surely hit its target!
——The ultimate secret of the Natural Rinpoche style: the Nameless Three-Stage Strike!
The spider-slicer, like a tiny nail, pierced the center of the brow of the corpse of the palace master. Then, the black and red qi, starting from this point, cleaved the entire corpse of the palace master in a clear crack!

Beneath the crack, twisting black chains broke free from the pale flesh and blood, surging madly toward Uesugi Tetsuya.

But that’s not all.

A burst of pure white lightning suddenly ignited, like the sun, setting the corpse of the priest inside and gradually slowing down the black chains surging towards Uesugi Che.

Finally, it seemed to lose its vitality and floated in mid-air.

With almost all his might, Uesugi Tetsuya struggled to maintain an impenetrable defense, like a tortoise shell, to prevent the dying counterattack from the corpse.

A hint of joy flashed in his eyes the moment he witnessed the lightning successfully illuminate the sky.

It worked!
The chief priest's corpse was at least mostly obliterated.

With its hollow eye sockets, the head, which could serve as a vessel for the blood moon, would certainly be reduced to ashes without a trace!

In the room on the ground, even with her eyes closed, Kujo Machi, who was looking up, was still stimulated by the daylight-like light, which brought tears to her eyes.

After barely managing to open her eyes, Kujo Machi breathed a sigh of relief, overwhelmed with joy.

But as the "pure white sun" in the sky slowly disappeared...

Kujo Machi could see the mostly gone corpse of the palace priest, as well as the rapidly expanding blood lines on the remaining half of his body.

An indescribable, overwhelming terror, as if it were absolutely impossible to see, began to spread throughout her senses as the blood lines deepened.

"Something's about to come out..."

Kujo Machi's body instinctively began to tremble and shudder.

Her mind began to become confused and muddled, and she started uttering incoherent babbling.

"That thing is about to come out..."

"We have to find it quickly! We absolutely must find it!"

"Everyone will die..."

Kujo Machi lunged at her desk in her room and began frantically rummaging through drawers and cabinets, but even she didn't know what she was looking for.

Chisa initially thought that Kujo Machi was talking nonsense out of excitement.

But when the latter bumped his head against the corner of the desk without feeling anything, he realized something was wrong.

She grabbed Kujo Machi and asked loudly and seriously,
"Miss Kujo, what's wrong!"

Kujo Machi's pupils dilated slightly, and his teeth chattered uncontrollably: "It's coming, 'it' is coming out..."

Seeing Kujo Machi in this state, Chisa couldn't help but feel a chill run down her spine.

Could it be that... Master's actions just now were wrong and will bring about some even greater disaster?

But the girl didn't hesitate for long. She simply gripped Kujo Machi's arms tightly, mustered the last bit of breath in her chest, and almost roared a question, trying to wake him up.
"Tell me! Kujo Machi! Was what Master did just now the right thing to do?"

"practice……"

Kujo Machi seemed to be awakened by the question so close to her; her pupils gradually narrowed, but she dared not look up for even a moment longer.
"—That's wrong."

She spoke tremblingly, clutching the amulet hanging around her neck as if it were a lifeline.
"Absolutely not, we must not destroy that corpse in the sky."

……

"I haven't completed much of the main and side quests, and I have no idea how bad the area rating will be..."

Uesugi Tetsu watched as the remaining half of the priest's corpse was about to split open, and he breathed a sigh of relief. He regretfully considered that due to time constraints, he had hardly done any main or side quests.

But it wasn't until the very moment the bright bloodline broke that Uesugi Tetsu's intuition, which was comparable to precognition, amplified the warning to its maximum in an instant.

Tell him—

Something far more terrifying than the palace guard's corpse is about to descend!
A sticky feeling enveloped Uesugi Tetsuya's entire body, making it difficult for him to move. Even the flames burning on the Sea God's Treasury shrank considerably.

That feeling came from above!

With difficulty, Uesugi Tetsu raised his head and stared through the corpse of the priest, which had been completely torn in two, at a giant blood-red eye that was slowly emerging from the deep darkness.

Her bloodshot eyes were filled with malice, yet she simply stared at him silently.

It is crystal clear and hangs alone in the sky.

It's just like……

A blood moon.

Uesugi Tetsuya's thoughts exploded in an instant.

Why did the Blood Moon appear immediately after he severed the priest's corpse?
Was his judgment wrong?!
But where did it go wrong?
Which part went wrong?

No time to think too much.

In just a few moments, Uesugi Tetsu could feel his once unified state of mind being rapidly corrupted at a visible speed.

This life is about to end prematurely.

This "blood moon" is indeed beyond the power of ordinary people to resist.

Uesugi Tetsu felt no fear or regret.

He simply cast his last glance in the direction he had come from, with a hint of regret.

"I'm sorry, Chisa."

Once that thought crossed his mind, Uesugi Tetsuya had no time to think further or do anything more.

When life reaches its limit, consciousness is plunged into darkness.

……

But when he opened his eyes again, what came into view was Uesugi Tetsuya's eyes.

But it was Qian Sha who stood motionless in the pool of blood.
