The Demon King, reborn in Japan as a monk

Sensing that his abilities had improved, Ishihara Sho didn't hesitate. After spending the night with his friend A, who had returned from Tokyo, he decisively returned to the apartment where Emiko was staying. In the dead of night, he activated the mental perception technique he had developed in the Naruto world, which was modeled after Kagura's Mind's Eye. Instantly, the condition of all the residents within a one-kilometer radius was reflected in his mind.

Without further thought, its spirit split into countless tentacles, intruding into the minds of the surrounding residents and guiding their dream consciousness into its own dream world...

Instantly, Ishihara Sho's dream world expanded rapidly, pushing the surrounding chaotic mist to spread and dissipate, while Ishihara Sho's mental power also rose upwards at an extremely exaggerated pace.

It even gave him a feeling that he was about to lose control, so he couldn't help but sit down cross-legged and enter a Buddhist state of meditation while digesting his rapidly increasing spiritual power.

Then, as if he had broken through a certain critical point, Ishihara Akira's mental world suddenly changed...

Of course, this is the perception after the enhancement is over. As for now, in a Buddhist state of meditation, he doesn't have much mind to pay attention to these 'forms' that interfere with him.

Until the entire promotion process is completely completed—

"Is this the world of LV4 level espers? It truly lives up to its name." Ishihara Sho muttered with deep emotion, feeling the enormous difference between LV4 and LV3 levels.

Leaving aside distant examples, just in terms of natural perception—that is, without using perception techniques—his mental scanning range increased from about 150 meters to more than 500 meters.

Although it may not seem like much, its ability to receive information instantly is completely different from that at 150 meters.

The straight-line distance also increased from more than 300 meters to more than 1,000 meters, almost reaching the state he was in when using the perception technique.

Then there are other abilities. Although he hasn't had anyone test them, he feels that they have all improved remarkably!

Next comes the Heavenly Demon ability. There's not much to say about the seven emotions and six desires, but as the foundation of the Heavenly Demon power, the ability to arouse the inner demons of others has been greatly enhanced. This allows him to see the weaknesses in a person's mind the moment he sees them, and then enter into those weaknesses to have a huge impact on their mind.

In addition, he seems to have gained the ability to divide his mind into thoughts.

This is what is known as multitasking.

He could transform into countless beings with a single thought, much like the Taoist immortals of the Yang realm… While he wasn't quite that extreme, creating a hundred or so seemed like no problem at all. This was a timely and much-needed ability for his upcoming urban legend distribution plan.

He was worried about how to monitor the dream monsters he had released.

As for the problem of creating them?

How could a creator god of a dream world be stumped by something like this?

Mass hypnosis to dream, or directly using the authority of the creator god to materialize an urban legend character, and then release it into the demon realm to devour the remnants of dreams, wouldn't a new, semi-native urban legend creature be created?

Then release it using the same method that the Slit-Mouthed Woman used to escape...

Ishihara Sho can now imagine the panic and chaos that will ensue when people discover that the original urban legends and bizarre fairy tales are actually real.

"Tsk, now that I think about it, he's starting to resemble those shoe cult members in movies and TV shows more and more..."

……

Without hesitation, Ishihara Akira used his Creator God authority to create an eight-foot-tall adult. He then used his newly awakened ability to split his mind and project a thought onto the eight-foot-tall woman, which then infiltrated her core. Ishihara Akira then threw the newly created eight-foot-tall woman into the lower demon realm composed of dream remnants released from the subconscious of those foundation stones, and began his journey of devouring.

"Next is to choose a host..."

"Unfortunately, I don't have the authority in the real world. Otherwise, I could have used that authority, along with the genjutsu I developed in the Naruto world, to transform the area near the Kannon Temple into a semi-dream world and simply send the Eight-Foot Woman out..."

Immediately, Ishihara Sho sighed and carefully examined the information of the cornerstones he had brought into the dream.

For example, gender, age, name, and what they do.

As for more details, he would need to enter the other person's dream consciousness and conduct hypnotic investigation to find out.

……

"Too hasty..." After a long while, Ishihara Sho sighed helplessly after figuring out the basic information of this batch of newly acquired foundation stones.

There's no other reason than that these people's identities were far too ordinary...

So ordinary that it seemed completely undetectable!

Or perhaps, he chose the wrong place to recruit people.

Because there wasn't a single shrine within a radius of several kilometers around the Guanyin Temple that his family ran, even if they did send out the eight-foot-tall woman, they wouldn't be able to attract the attention of any special individuals!

This would only cause panic among the surrounding residents, making them even more eager to flee towards the temple...

While this did increase the temple's incense offerings and revenue, now is not the time for Ishihara Sho, who wants to explore the true nature of the world.

Therefore, it's better to go somewhere else.

"It seems we can only wait until daytime to check the map and see where there are more temples and shrines in Nagoya, and then release the story of the Eight-Foot Woman or other urban legends there, and wait for the incident to unfold."

Afterwards, Ishihara Yu created some demons and monsters such as Hanako, Sadako, Kayako, Spider Woman, and Bone Woman, and then put aside his thoughts, closed his eyes, and familiarized himself with the changes in mental power.

Nothing more happened that night, and the incident occurred the next day.

Yumiko went to work, while Ishihara Akira went to the temple to greet believers. He also took out his phone to investigate the situation of shrines and temples in Nagoya, and in the afternoon, he arrived at the location he had chosen for his mission.

Then select targets and deliver the message.

For example, Hanako from the toilet, Ishihara Sho decided to send her to a nearby high school.

Sadako was placed in the hospital.

Kayako was placed in a yakuza office.

The spider woman was released into the park, and then a target was selected for deployment.

The Bone Woman went to a nearby love hotel and randomly selected targets to target.

Then came the eight-foot-tall woman. After thinking for a moment, Ishihara Akira assigned her to the role of a part-time shrine maiden at a nearby shrine...

"I hope everything goes well." Finally, Ishihara Akira took one last deep look at the shrine maiden who had just regained consciousness and was completely unaware of what had happened, then turned and left the shrine, returning to the temple.

Chapter 116 Legendary Operation

Then that night.

In the Yakuza's office.

"Fukuda, go buy him a drink." The yakuza leader slumped in his office chair, his legs crossed and propped up on the table in front of him, and ordered the man standing in the corner of the room without looking up.

The man named Fukuda did not answer and remained standing there without moving.

"Huh? Fukuda, are you deaf or something? I told you to go buy me a drink, didn't you hear me?" Seeing that Fukuda didn't answer, the man raised his head, which had been resting on the edge of the chair back, and scolded Fukuda with an annoyed look.

"Hey, Fukuda, Boss Okamoto is talking to you." At this moment, a man who seemed to be on good terms with Fukuda couldn't stand it anymore and quickly walked over to the silent Fukuda, patting him on the shoulder.

This time, Fukuda actually made a move, turning his head to look at the man.

But the man was startled by Fukuda's appearance, cried out in surprise, and staggered backward.

"Kiyoshi, what are you up to, kid!" The man named Okamoto put his feet down, sat up straight, and frowned.

Then a series of "crackling" sounds came from Fukuda's body. Fukuda was sprawled on the ground in an extremely contorted position, his neck twisted 180 degrees to his back, his limbs like those of an insect-like cladoceran, propped against the ground in the opposite direction, his body facing the ceiling, and crimson blood slowly flowing from his ashen face.

"Holy crap! What the hell is this?!" Okamoto exclaimed in fright, jumping up from his chair and hiding behind it.

Fukuda turned to look at Kiyoe, then back at Okamoto. Without a word, he moved his body and rushed to the desk with incredible speed. With a leap, as if a human had broken free of muscle limitations, he easily jumped onto the desk and then pounced on Okamoto.

"Get out of here!" Okamoto yelled, quickly running to the side and grabbing the weapon lying there—a baseball bat.

Fukuda landed, turned around, and charged towards Okamoto again.

Perhaps because he had a weapon, Okamoto became much bolder and stopped running away. Instead, the moment Fukuda rushed up, he swung his stick and struck Fukuda on the head.

"boom!"

Fukuda's head was split open!

But Fukuda didn't react at all. He rushed forward, grabbed Okamoto, slammed him against the wall, and crushed Okamoto's bones with his bare hands...

It is evident how immense Fukuda's power was at this moment, even though he was no longer human.

"Ah!" Okamoto let out a painful scream that he could not bear.

As for Kiyoe, she had already turned and run out of the office the moment Fukuda lunged at Okamoto, and went outside to call the police station.

He wasn't stupid; he could see clearly that Fukuda, whose limbs were not human, was obviously no longer alive, and it was even uncertain whether he was still human. So rather than staying there and gambling on uncertain luck, it was more reliable to call the police for help!

As for whether it would be embarrassing or something...

This isn't the first time Japanese yakuza have called the police for protection; it's been rampant for over thirty years.

……

Meanwhile, inside the hospital.

In a special ward, a female patient in a vegetative state suddenly opened her eyes, which had not been open for countless years according to records. In a way that was somewhat contrary to human biomechanics, she used the strength of her waist to lift her upper body off the bed without putting any effort into her legs.

Then, looking down at the patches attached to the various instruments on his body, he roughly ripped them off.

Then, the woman stood up, turned around, and left her hospital room.

"Hey, Saki, look at that person, isn't that Miss Aimi who lives in 402?"

"How is that possible? Miss Aimi is in a vegetative state." The nurse named Saki first mocked her colleague before turning her head to look at the person her colleague was looking at.

His eyes widened in shock, and his expression turned incredulous.

"It really is Miss Aimi, but how is that possible?" Saki murmured in disbelief.

Putting aside the reason why Miss Aimi woke up, just looking at her body, as a patient who has been lying in bed for almost three years, even if someone comes to massage her every day to keep her muscles active and prevent them from atrophying, it's not something someone who has just woken up from a vegetative state can immediately use and walk on!

Not to mention, she didn't eat for three years and relied entirely on intravenous nutrition. Even if she wasn't lacking in nutrition, her physical strength wouldn't be able to support her engaging in such high-intensity activities.

So Saki didn't dare to hesitate. After her initial shock, she quickly ran out of the nurses' station and to the beautiful girl in their eyes.

"Miss Aimi, why did you come out? You still need to rest. You should go back to your ward and get some rest." The woman named Saki held Miss Aimi's arm and gently advised her.

Aimi tilted her head and looked at Saki beside her.

"Hello, Miss Aimi, I'm Saki Rie, the on-duty nurse in charge of the VIP ward. If you need anything or have any requests, you can just use the call bell to summon us. We have someone on duty here 24 hours a day." Saki, assuming that Aimi was unfamiliar with her, introduced herself in a very professional manner.

As expected of a VIP ward in a private hospital, the service is excellent...

But Aimi completely ignored her, or rather, because Sadako, who had consumed a large amount of demonic creature remnants, was filled with nothing but tyranny and had no desire to communicate with anyone. With a flick of her arm, Saki was thrown out like a strongman, crashing sideways into the wall beside her.

"boom!"

Saki's body trembled violently, and she opened her mouth to spit out a mouthful of blood.

The shock did indeed cause blood to flow backwards in the heart, in addition to the blood drawn from biting the tongue.

Saki then fell heavily to the ground and couldn't get up for a long time.

"Saki!" exclaimed the nurse beside her. She immediately picked up the landline phone and used the internal keypad to call security...
