A person in Tokyo becomes a demon god

Chapter 266 The Organizers and the 'Immortality Reward'

who am I?
Wearing a well-tailored dark green velvet clown costume with a dark purple vest underneath, and sporting pale clown makeup and slightly messy black slicked-back hair, the 'clown' snapped his fingers.

"That's a good question,"

I'm your second uncle!

Of course, the Joker wouldn't say such a thing.

Although according to the mythological setting, he is indeed Siegfried's 'second uncle'.

"I don't mind playing around with you all in person, but that doesn't fit my 'aesthetics.' So:"

The 'clown' gave an elegant bow and raised his hand to the sky:

"Warriors, poets, and visitors from afar!"

"Please be silent, and listen to the legends from the frozen peaks and the heart of the flames!"

"Herein we sing praises to that who is no ordinary monarch, but the embodiment of power and glory—the Supreme Queen of Iceland, the symbol of invincibility, and the absolute master of martial skill and wisdom!"

Accompanied by the 'clown's' praise, a pillar of light descended from the sky.

Everyone instinctively looked up, and the sun shone on the earth;

A lithe figure slowly descended from within the beam of light.

She was a woman in military uniform.
She wore classic Nordic-style armor, beneath which was a gorgeous long dress, and a crown as sharp as a sword.

Her body was not that of a delicate woman in courtly poems, but rather the body of a warrior forged by the north wind; upright like a pine tree in the frigid zone, every line of her body contained the agility and power of a dragon.

Her face was a masterpiece sculpted by glaciers, with sharp features and a jawline that exuded an unquestionable decisiveness.

Those eyes were the color of the North Sea before a storm, a gray-blue that concealed thunder and whirlpools, their gaze sharp as a spear, capable of piercing through all false flattery.

Her long, golden hair, unlike the gentle waves of wheat, was like molten gold thrown into ice water, solidifying into wild, unruly curls, which were casually braided into battle braids and coiled under her crown.

"what?!"

"Brynhild—"

Siegfried was terrified when he saw the figure descending in the light.

glance,

The other person's cold gaze sent a shiver down Ling's spine.

What a cool older sister!

"Everyone,"

The 'Valkyrie' who descended from the sky spoke, her voice like the colliding of millennia-old ice, yet carrying a strangely exhilarating and stirring quality.

"I proposed this competition in order to select the king of the Netherlands."

The Valkyrie then calmly continued speaking.

"Does anyone have any objections?"

The 100,000 spectators were completely silent.

How dare they have any objections?

This is Odin's daughter, the leader of the Valkyries;

Also in mythology, she was 'tricked' by Siegfried into marrying the King of Burgundy, the Queen of Iceland.

"Wow, even Princess Brunhilde has made an appearance in person?"

Pulling his sunglasses down slightly, Attila the Hun looked up at the valiant queen who was slowly descending, and couldn't help but smack his lips.

"She's a good woman,"

And she's a 'widow,' what a pity:

“They are fundamentally different from us ‘people’.”

"Hmph, you do have some self-awareness."

Mulan, arms crossed and a cold expression on her face, snorted.

Whether she was an immortal or a descendant of gods, it was none of her business; her mission was to find an opportunity to assassinate the Xiongnu king.

"Brother Mulan, King Attila, I want to go home."

Wood Sprite chickened out on the 17th.

The 'Kappa Uncle' wielding the demon sword was already beyond her ability to deal with.

The subsequent appearances of the 'perverted prince' and 'Beowulf' left her speechless: now even 'Brynhildr' has appeared, who will be next? Odin? Or Loki?
The other world is too dangerous; she'd better go back to the forest to play!

"Don't panic, Little Seventeen."

Attila patted Wood Spirit 17 on the head, gave a thumbs-up, and revealed his white teeth.

"If danger arises, there is also—"

"With Mulan here, he will protect us."

Hey, shouldn't it be the person who says these kinds of things who is protecting others?
Wood Spirit #17 thought to himself, "But this is the 'King of the Huns,' so it's only natural for him to have his subordinates protect him."

They're not like Beowulf, who would stand up to protect his subordinates.

"So she's the Queen of Iceland,"

Beowulf looked up and nodded slightly at the other person.
"Given your position, it is only natural for you to host this competition."

After saying that, the burly man, whose armor had been completely destroyed in the previous battle and who was now only wearing a cloak, scratched his head and looked at Ling and Siegfried behind her.

"In that case, shall our battle continue?"

"Okay, okay," ×2
Whether it was the leopard or Siegfried's gaze;
They all drifted down, landing directly on the protruding, balcony-like 'spectator stands' in the arena.

Brunhilde is aloof, arrogant, and her every move is unlike that of an ordinary person.

What a cool older sister!

This is bad; it really is her.
Both of them were preoccupied with their own thoughts, and to face Beowulf in this manner was tantamount to courting death.

brush--

A shadow fell before them, and Beowulf's raised hand caught in the eyes of Rei and Siegfried, startling them both.

when.
He instinctively raised the Dragon-Slaying Holy Sword in his hand, but ultimately did not bring it down to attack.

"I abstain."

Beowulf, with his palm raised, made this announcement.

???

This left not only the audience at the scene stunned, but also billions of people in the real world.

What's going on? We've already taken our pants off, and this is what you show me?!
"I am participating in this Rose Garden Competition only to see if it will cause any unrest or casualties."

"Since it's a fair and legal competition, we'll let you young people have it."

Having said that, the King of the North turned around without hesitation.

"Keep it up, little girl."

He ended his life so gracefully.
They're off the field.
It's over.

,
"Is this Lord Beowulf really just here to watch the fight?"

"It seems so." In the Akizuki residence in Itabashi Ward, Tokyo, Inoue Kaori is chatting with Akizuki Ritsu.

"Upon closer examination, Beowulf was not interested in expanding his territory."

Otherwise, he wouldn't have needed to stay in the 'land of suffering' created by someone; he would have already marched on other wealthy countries.

"So his reason for participating in the tournament is simply to witness: whether it's the birth of a new king or the outcome of the tournament."

As 'Brynhildr', hosting the competition is naturally no problem.

The problem is her purpose.

According to mythology, Brunhilde was the mastermind behind the assassination of Siegfried.

Kaori Inoue seemed to be deep in thought. If it were her, being deceived by the person she loved, she would be considered calm even if she didn't massacre the country, let alone kill someone.

"Was killing Siegfried once not enough for her? Did she have to kill him a second time?"

"You ask me, who should I ask?"

Qiu Yuelu spread his hands. He was indeed the creator of everything, but he couldn't be bothered to write about such personal feelings in detail.

Besides, everything changes: the silly 'liger' of the past has now become a 'Siegfried' that is becoming more and more human-like; and it has been overshadowed by the leopard and can no longer stand up for itself.

"Speaking of which, is the Queen of Iceland the one from the Ice and Fire Island next to Greenland?"

Iceland,

It is located north of England, between Greenland and England.

Located near the Arctic Circle, it is the second largest island in Europe, with a total area of ​​103000 square kilometers, second only to England.

11.6% of its area is covered by glaciers: so the first people to discover this island named it 'Iceland'.

Iceland is a country with more than 100 volcanoes. It can be said that the entire country is built on volcanic rock: in many places you can see volcanic eruptions and lava flows on the mountains; below the mountains, the land is covered in snow and ice.

Therefore, it is known as 'Ice and Fire Island'.

"No, that's not it,"

Akizuki Ritsu possesses a vast amount of 'expert memories'.

I'm currently preparing to use the 'Brain-Brain Fruit' to create a supernatural 'library,' so I'm explaining this to Inoue Kaori:

"The 'Iceland' in Norse mythology is not the real Iceland, but a legendary and vague geographical concept."

If we were to draw an analogy, it would be roughly equivalent to the 'Penglai Island' of the previous life.

In the literary tradition of Middle High German, this place name represents a secluded and mysterious 'foreign land'.

In reality, Iceland has never had a monarchical tradition of a 'queen'; it was initially a federation ruled by chieftains, later belonging to Norway and Denmark, and only became an independent country eighty years ago.

"Strictly speaking, it's more like an affiliated area of ​​the 'Hall of Heroes'."

Siegfried's ability to infiltrate 'Iceland' and defeat Brunhilde through cunning was itself related to his bloodline.

This guy's motive for defeating Brunhilde was to propose marriage to his brother-in-law, the King of Burgundy. Brunhilde, however, had a crush on Ziegfeld, which sowed the seeds of disaster.

"Ladies and gentlemen, whether you are here today or elsewhere—"

Just at this time,
The clown's voice came from the live stream again.

"Lady Brunhilde, I sincerely apologize for concealing the matter from the tournament organizers."

"In response, the adults presented several 'pure gold' rings as compensation."

As he spoke, the clown opened his palm.

Five golden rings lay quietly in his palm.

A solid gold ring?

What use is such a small amount of gold?

What may appear to be an ordinary gold ring could be a windfall for the average person.

But even the powerful and wealthy, or even just the 'middle class', can afford it.

"hehe,"

For this,

The clown simply smiled faintly.

"Please note, this is not ordinary gold,"

"It is blessed gold, the 'pure gold' that countless heroes have coveted in legend."

"As long as you wear this ring, your body will remain in the state of wearing it, never aging, never dying—"

? ? ? ?
If Beowulf's previous withdrawal only surprised and shocked the audience, then...

This time, it was the turn of countless people in the real world to stand up abruptly.

My heart was pounding like a drum, and I was panting like a bull.
He stared intently at the ring in the 'Joker's' hand.

Eternal youth, is it true or false?
Is that really true?

Even Kaori Inoue couldn't help but voice her doubts.

"real."

Qiu Yuelu answered decisively.

Because this thing really is one of the secret treasures of the 'One Piece' world: pure gold!
This is a special metal that, under the influence of its radiance, can significantly extend a person's lifespan and prevent them from aging.

This was originally something the Celestial Dragons discovered and researched in their pursuit of immortality: apart from Im and the Five Elders, none of the other Celestial Dragons possessed the ability to live forever. Even pigs would certainly desire immortality: it's not hard to understand why the Celestial Dragons pursued these things.

It's just that the pure gold from the One Piece world was swallowed by the Island-Eating Fish.

Apart from Mischina Olga, a little girl who received a pure gold ring and lived for over two hundred years.

"How about I get one for you?"

Qiuyue Lu asked.
Besides the Op-Op Fruit, pure gold in the One Piece world can also grant immortality.

Moreover, there are few side effects: the Op-Op Fruit requires the user's life to perform the 'Immortality Surgery'.

"Hmm, something very attractive."

Kaori Inoue did not refuse; what girl wouldn't want to stay young forever?

"but--"

With her hand on the pistol at her waist, Inoue Kaori raised an eyebrow.

"I want to achieve this through my own efforts."

"Master, what a spirit you have!"

"That's right, a mere pure gold ring; the master could have it as easily as taking something out of a bag!"

"Hehehe, such a treasure is destined for my master!"

"When those guys come out, tell them to hand it over immediately."

"Alright, Number Two."

Even Number One couldn't stand it anymore; it made it sound like their master was some kind of treasure-hunting monster.

However, a ring that grants immortality.

Who could resist the allure of something like this?
