A person in Tokyo becomes a demon god

Chapter 119 Cloud Pattern Fruit?

boom! ! boom! !
In front of a seven-story office building,

An eight-meter-tall vine-covered tree figure is punching and smashing the building.

The windows shattered and large sections of the walls collapsed, quickly creating a huge gap in the building.
Immediately afterwards, the tree-man stretched out his hand, and his fingers, which spread out into a large number of vines, reached into the hollow of the building to catch the rats hiding inside.

"Those survivors are finished,"

In the sky,
An armed helicopter flew by.

The pilot looked down at the hellish scene with lingering fear.

Wherever the searchlights went, there were vast expanses of vines and scattered mummies; now these enormous vine-like tree people had appeared. How many people could possibly escape this city? The number was probably not optimistic.

"This is none of our business; continue distributing supplies."

Inside the cabin, several staff members were pushing out boxes of supplies; that was all they could do.

As for why they didn't lower their altitude to rescue the people?
Impossible. They only came to this city because of the generous 'attendance fee'.

Landing in the city means you're not working, you're risking your life!
"Finish it quickly, then..."

boom! !

An explosion engulfed the helicopter, and the 'pink' smoke from the explosion formed the shape of a skull.

It's both terrifying and somewhat cute.

Skull Exploding Grass!
"Those 'iron dragonflies' flying around are so annoying."

The one raising her finger and making a 'shooting' gesture was none other than the little girl in yellow, 'Liuhe'.

Her ability is the 'Flourishing Fruit', which can rapidly promote the growth of a large number of plants in a short period of time. Although it does not have the ability of the 'Forest Fruit' to transform into nature and cause plants to evolve, it has a stronger effect on promoting plant growth.

To compensate for her shortcomings, someone also provided her with a bunch of special seeds.

"That's much quieter now,"

After taking down the helicopter with a single move of her 'Skull Exploding Grass', the little girl continued to watch the show with great interest.

This special seed comes from the Boin Islands in the One Piece world: the island that devoured Sea Kings and where Usopp trained.

In the world of One Piece, even plants possess various supernatural abilities: vines that pierce through several cloud layers on a sky island thousands of meters high, the Sun Tree Eve that provides sunlight to Fishman Island from the depths of the ocean thousands of meters deep, and the Treasure Tree Adam that is far stronger than steel and was used to build the Thousand Sunny.

Usopp, on the other hand, fights using various special plants.

Even his giant slingshot, 'Black Hood,' is actually a living plant!

Don't be fooled by Usopp's low ranking in the Straw Hat crew's fighting strength; it's just that the enemies they face are far too powerful, making this 'plant weapon' seem somewhat ineffective.

"Hmm, there hasn't been any activity for a thousand years."

The little girl, Liuhe, stretched.

"Since I've been woken up, I might as well practice my old skills."

In 'Six Harmonies' understanding, a thousand years ago she managed the 'Medicine Garden' for the great Onmyoji Abe no Seimei and disliked fighting, so she is now somewhat 'rusty' with her abilities. It's normal for her to familiarize herself with them again; at the same time, her strength is far from recovered and requires:
"Plant more trees and restore this world to what it was a thousand years ago!"

"When Lord Seimei returns, he will surely praise them."

The little girl didn't make any move.
On the city's horizon, enormous plants are constantly breaking through the soil:

It doesn't require strong combat power; it's enough to get ordinary people "moving".

Splash,

Countless vines as thick as an arm penetrated deep into the building.
The desk, computer, and documents were scattered everywhere, like the end of the world! Miss Taomu screamed in fright as she tumbled and crawled.

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!!"

"Miss Peachwood?"

"I'll protect you—"

As it turns out, screaming does have its uses: at least it helps 'companions' pinpoint their location.

Raising their riot shields, the two young men retreated in the direction of the screams amidst the chaos.

Ok?
Unlike the three who fled in a disheveled state, Bu Buzhang's gaze swept over them.

They noticed that some of the tentacles that had been entangled with them were now spreading towards the trio.

Is it a sound? Or...
吸、

Taking a deep breath, the boy got up, gripped his knife with both hands, and strode toward the tentacles beside him.

tread!tread!tread!
This time, he deliberately put a lot of effort into each step.

But the tentacles remained 'unaware' until the high-tech longsword in his hand struck one of the tentacles heavily.

Pfft

Bu Bu Zhang went all out,
With the added sharpness of the long sword in his hand, he once again severed the tentacle as thick as an arm.

As he flew backward, the boy exhaled a breath of stale air.

brush,

A tentacle suddenly chased after him.

Understood!
"It's breathing—"

Suddenly, he hid behind a load-bearing pillar, and as the vines stretched out, he swung his knife and chopped off a section of Bu Buzhang, loudly alerting his companions.

"These plants use breathing to locate us!"

Or rather: the concentration of carbon dioxide.

breathe?

the other side,
Niko Rei, who was dodging the vines, was startled and immediately held her breath and rolled away.

Sure enough, the vines that had been relentlessly pursuing them suddenly slowed down.

With the bow drawn and the compound bow in her hand spinning, the girl was able to unleash a force of 60 pounds, but in reality, she only needed less than 20 kilograms of strength.

collapse!
The arrow struck the tip of the vine that extended from the window.

The concentrated sulfuric acid inside the arrow was spilled out and began to corrode the vine.

That's right, Niko Rei's arrows were modified by herself; they were originally used to store fireworks as props for performances.

After being modified by her and infused with concentrated sulfuric acid, it becomes a true attack combining physical and magical techniques.

"Second classmate, I have a plan!"

Now that he knew the other party's 'observation' method, and considering that this 'wooden spirit' looked clumsy, an idea flashed through Bu Buzhang's mind.

"Cooperate with me!"

"it is good,"

The archery girl answered without hesitation.
As for the other three? The two didn't even consider them as part of the fighting force; they figured it was better to just 'shout and yell' to attract the monster's attention.

"Ok?"

Over the city,

The little girl's 'six directions' gaze,

It landed on a tree-man that was constantly smashing buildings.

Under the tree-man's relentless pounding, the office building was already teetering on the brink of collapse, yet the tree-man continued its frenzied attack.

"Fool,"

No, these guys aren't even idiots, because they have no souls at all.

These vine-like tree-people are merely puppets created by 'Liuhe' using his abilities, possessing only simple attack patterns because they are plants. It's impossible to expect them to understand thought.
The result was this kind of silly demolition. Well, it seems those ordinary people weren't so stupid after all.

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!!"

"Why won't this monster leave us alone?!"

The woman surnamed Taomu was on the verge of collapse, protected by two men.

Little did she know that it was her shouting that attracted the attack—though in a way, her mockery was quite effective.

Thanks to her, the pressure on Urabe Akira and Niko Rei was greatly reduced.

Suck--

call!
They came out in a deep, long voice.

As Bu Buzhang, who was hiding behind the other load-bearing pillar, breathed heavily, the tree-man outside indeed swung his fist towards his direction.

boom! !

The building suddenly shuddered, and the load-bearing columns were smashed, sending cement flying everywhere and exposing the steel reinforcement structure.

it is good,

Behind the load-bearing column,
Bu Buzhang, however, was certain in his heart.

Keep smashing, you idiot! It'll be over soon.

He studied civil engineering, and the job prospects for civil engineering graduates were originally bleak; but now he has come in handy. Given the size of this office building, if this "wooden sprite" continues to be poured on, it will soon be unable to withstand the pressure.

Rumble,

As the building continued to shake, all the ceiling fixtures and lights fell off, leaving only the wires hanging down.

"Second subject, let's go!"

Feeling he was about to reach his limit, Bu Buzhang immediately called out.

"You three, come with us quickly!"

In the rumbling, shaking building, Niko Rei didn't forget to call the other three.

The five people tumbled and scrambled into the emergency exit, rolling down the stairs. Not long after—

Rumble, rumble! !
The office building, which had been ravaged by the tree-man for half a day, finally couldn't hold on any longer and crashed down on the tree-man.

The weight of several thousand tons collapsed down, and even a supernatural being could not withstand it: after all, this was just a creation made by 'Liuhe', and according to the setting, Liuhe had only just 'awakened' not long ago, and its strength was far from its peak.

Under the boy's deliberate guidance, the building collapsed, crushing the tree-man beneath it. Smoke and dust billowed out, raising a cloud of grayish-yellow dust.

A few minutes later, a figure carrying a person emerged from the lower half of the collapsed building.

"Thanks,"

The one being held in Bubu Zhang's arms was Niko Rei.

Of the five people, she was the only one not wearing protective gear. If it weren't for Bu Buzhang's protection, she would have been badly injured by the collapse, or even killed.

Faced with disaster, humans with protective gear and those without react completely differently: stab-proof vests, helmets, elbow pads, knee pads, full-body protective gear—this was one of the reasons why Urabe Zhang dared to implement this plan. Of course, this plan was essentially a gamble: but they were lucky and won.

"Put me down,"

Erke Ling, whose compound bow had been lost somewhere, blushed slightly.

Fortunately, everyone was covered in dust and dirt from the building collapse, and the dim lighting meant no one noticed anything unusual about her.

"Um,"

Unaware of the girl's unusual behavior, Fubu Zhang put her down and walked towards her with his long sword in hand.

"you?"

"I'll go check if this monster is really dead."

Approaching the 'Wood Spirit' whose body was mostly pinned down by the building, the boy held his sword horizontally and cautiously drew closer.

When he walked up to the wood spirit's 'human face', its features suddenly twitched.

Pfft!

The long sword plunged heavily into the opponent's 'between the eyebrows'.

"plant,"

With a swift slash, he tore apart the face made of vines.

"It should look like a plant!"

"Cough cough,"

"They survived."

At the same time, three other people covered in dust also crawled out.

"Urabe-kun, the monster is dead?"

"Huh? It's dawn!"

The young man with long, flowing hair looked up.

Sure enough, the sky was getting brighter and brighter, marking the end of the night.

The light shone on Bobu Zhang, who was holding a long sword, and the tree-man monster 'corpse' lying in front of him made him look like a hero, which made Niko Rei's heart suddenly race as she witnessed it all.

"Hey? What is that?"

With complete 'death', the vines that were once tightly intertwined began to loosen.

It was revealed within the face of the 'Wood Spirit'.

There's something that's glowing.

"This is?"

Extend your hand, which is wearing a stab-proof glove.

Bu Buzhang dug around in the vines for a while and pulled out a 'fruit'.

It was the size of an apple, but its surface had traditional 'cloud patterns' and emitted a shimmering white light, making it clear at a glance that it was no ordinary object.

"fruit?"

Could it be something to eat?

"These tree-men are so stupid!"

The 'Six Harmonies' that took in all of this floated in the air.
After thinking for a moment, she raised her hand and pressed it against her temple, communicating with her other 'colleagues' in her mind.

'My dear sister, my dear sister.'

'explain,'

A voice echoed in 'Liuhe's' mind.
'Could you spare me some souls? I want to create helpers.'

Liuhe's ability is 'plants', and theoretically they can 'borrow' the abilities of their colleagues, but that is limited to colleagues who have not yet awakened.

The noblewoman who possessed the 'soul' was the first to awaken. Therefore—

'Can. ’

Somewhere far away,
A positive response came through.

At the same time, a group of 'underworld butterflies' flew towards Liuhe.

'You choose for yourself.'
