Tokyo: I am the Lord of All Demons!

Kitamura Eri's brow twitched, then she opened her sleepy eyes and asked blankly, "...Is something the matter?"

Fujita Mino said solemnly, "Yes, and it's an extremely serious matter. Eh, so... haven't you sensed anything unusual about western Japan?"

Upon hearing this, Kitamura Eri calmed down and stared at the west side for a few seconds before replying, "...No, there really isn't."

Fujita Mino, not wanting to beat around the bush, asked directly, "The Shinto Agency just called and told me that a ghost's demonic power is rapidly expanding in western Japan, and the rate of expansion is unlike normal cultivation advancement. Do you know what's going on?"

Kitamura Eri frowned, pondered for a moment, and said, "This...it might have absorbed the resentment of other ghosts?"

Fujita Mino frowned, her expression showing disbelief as she asked, "It's just resentment, isn't it? Can the resentment of a mere brat be that strong?"

Upon hearing this, Kitamura Eri became smug: "Of course, don't underestimate the resentment of ghosts. The energy contained in people who died unjustly can destroy the world!"

After a moment's thought, Fujita Mino replied, "So, the reason why there's such a scene is that several extremely resentful ghosts have gathered together in western Japan?"

Kitamura Eri shook her head and exclaimed, "You're so smart, Fujita! When did you become so smart?"

Fujita Mino tilted her head to follow her rhythm and met her eyes: "No, shouldn't you call me 'master'?"

Seeing this, Kitamura Eri tilted her head and said cleverly, "Is that the point? The point is that wronged ghost! Her strength has now surpassed that of you, the divine messenger!"

Fujita Mino tilted her head, but gave her a disdainful look: "Can I understand you boosting the morale of others while belittling your own?"

Kitamura Eri, being the best at talking, naturally wouldn't back down and retorted, "I'm just stating the facts!"

"Forget it, I'm not going to argue with you about this." Fujita Mino shook her head and then said, "Do you have any good ideas?"

This statement was part of Fujita Mino's long-planned strategy; she hadn't adopted Kitamura Eri for nothing.

Instead, we should make her put in the effort or even sacrifice herself at the most crucial moment; that is the mission of a shikigami.

Kitamura Eri was taken aback by Fujita Mino's idea at first, but then said, "I'm afraid it's a bit difficult. In the face of absolute strength, any technique is useless!"

Fujita Mino brought her face close to Kitamura Eri's, her breath brushing against her face, and then asked, "What if the enemy doesn't have an absolute overwhelming advantage over us?"

Caught off guard, Kitamura Eri tilted her head back slightly. She hadn't expected Fujita Mino to act so manly. She nodded and said, "Well... that makes things easier. I can help you find her weakness..."

Fujita Mino straightened up and said, "Alright, when do you plan to set off to find her weakness?"

The above statement completely exposes Kitamura Eri's tool-like nature. However, she never had any feelings for Fujita Mino, since humans and demons are different, and the two were only together to use each other.

Kitamura Eri said somewhat helplessly, "Then I'll go now."

To reiterate, she didn't have any reservations about what Fujita Mino said; she was just a little complacent and somewhat fearful.

Slackness stems from lack of sleep.

Fear stems from the unknown.

Some might wonder, aren't ghosts supposed to be fearless? Why would they fear something more powerful than themselves?

That's the problem. The so-called "fearlessness" of ghosts is just a crude definition humans have of them.

To the spirits, humans are like lambs to the slaughter. Until the very last moment, the butcher will not think that the lambs can pose a fatal threat to him, so he is "fearless".

However, in reality, spirits with spirituality like Kitamura Eri can still sense life-threatening dangers when facing divine messengers and other spirits, and subconsciously avoid them.

Last time during the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons, even that big guy who was so arrogant almost fell into the hands of the Demon King Enma Ai, and in the end he could only kneel down, beg for mercy, kowtow and apologize to get forgiveness.

Before leaving the villa, Kitamura Eri turned around and said, "I'm going now."

Then, he looked up to see the change in Fujita Mino's expression, to see if she was really that heartless.

Fujita Mino turned her head away, avoiding eye contact, and said, "Then you must come back and report the situation to me."

In response, Eri Kitamura said, "What if I don't come back?"

Fujita Mino still didn't turn around, and continued to pretend to be calm, saying, "...Don't say such unlucky things."

Although Fujita Mino has her back to Kitamura Eri, Kitamura Eri can still sense her emotional fluctuations.

Since that's the case, let's add fuel to the fire: "What if? I mean, what if, let's assume..."

Fujita Mino still kept her back to Kitamura Eri: "If you don't come back to report in time, I will definitely settle the score with you. The ghost spirit is not completely dead. Even if you are beaten to a pulp, I can still find you."

This is the truth.

If the divine power is not strong enough, the ghost will not be annihilated, but will only become escaped ghost power, which will then be absorbed by other ghosts.

If there were a powerful force strong enough to reunite these scattered ghostly energies, theoretically the ghost could be resurrected.

This theory applies not only to supernatural beings like ghosts and spirits, but also to all things. If the molecules and atoms in a human body can be recombined, it is possible to dynamically adjust age, or even resurrect.

However, unlike humans, the resurrection of ghosts is not that difficult, nor does it require such great power.

For example, a spirit of the level of the Demon King Hanako Sachiko can revive or create countless small spirits like Kitamura Eri who don't have much power.

Ultimately, in this world, as long as you have enough power, you can solve anything.

However, the reality is that neither Fujita Mino nor Kitamura Eri can be described as having "powerful enough". Even Fujita Mino, the second divine messenger and the strongest divine messenger, still does not deserve the title.

Ultimately, there is only one person in this world who can be called the "strongest," and it goes without saying who that person is.

Kitamura Eri glanced at Fujita Mino one last time, then said, "I'm going."

Then, they left.

After Kitamura Eri left, Fujita Mino finally turned around, staring blankly in the direction Kitamura Eri had gone for a long time.

After experiencing countless changes, Fujita Mino found that she had not become stronger, but rather somewhat fragile.

She was afraid of losing her family and her best friends, but sometimes she couldn't be so sentimental, so she could only choose not to face it.

Yes, after just one or two days of getting to know each other, Fujita Mino already considers Kitamura Eri as her friend and family.

Unfortunately, compared to the other divine messengers, Fujita Mino is far too lonely. Her former good friends have all gone far away and found love with others.

Thinking about these things, Fujita Mino went up to the roof of the villa again, concentrated her mind and energy, and began to track Kitamura Eri's aura.

Meanwhile, they tracked down the ghost, which was still in the same spot, but judging from her movements, it seemed she was about to move.

It all depends on Kitamura Eri.

……

……

After leaving the villa, Kitamura Eri did not head straight for Osaka. Instead, she walked to a roadside tree and began to unleash her demonic power to summon her companions.

At her call, her old playmates emerged from the nearby sewers and bushes.

There were four ghosts that emerged from various nooks and crannies: the Azure Heavenly Ghost, the Green Heavenly Ghost, the Yellow Heavenly Ghost, and the Red Heavenly Ghost.

These ghosts and monsters do not look like humans. Some are deformed and look like upright pigs, while others look like winter melons and are unusually short.

These are all members of the Tengu family. They have no special abilities and can only rely on more powerful spirits to survive in this world.

Eri Kitamura, a spirit who can take human form, often acts as the "big sister" to weaker spirits.

Chapter 167 Terrifyingly Strong

Osaka Prefecture.

somewhere.

Street trees under the sunlight.

The light and shadow are still there.

Akane.

At that moment, Qian inadvertently looked up and noticed a little devil rapidly approaching her.

Just as Qian was wondering how a little devil dared to come this way, the little devil stopped.

Then, more and weaker little devils began to gather around her, whispering and discussing something.

Forget it, this is none of my business. As long as she's not targeting me, then this isn't a problem.

Just then, dark clouds blew in and blocked out the sunlight near the roadside trees. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Qian left the roadside trees and crawled into the nearby sewer.

Once inside the sewers, Akane could clearly feel that her demonic power had increased slightly, and she felt comfortable.

Even though the roadside trees blocked the sunlight when she was on the ground, the heat accumulated on the ground still made her feel uncomfortable.

Being a ghost is too hard.

During the day, try to stay in the sewers as much as possible. It's like home here. Save surface activities for the evening.

Goodnight, ghosts.

……

……

Eri Kitamura openly gathered four little devils on the street and ordered them to search for Akane along the tree-lined road.

However, although these little devils were not very strong, they were not stupid. As soon as they heard that they were looking for a powerful enemy, they scattered immediately.

Before long, Kitamura Eri was left all alone under the shade of the tree.

Looking at the mess on the ground, Kitamura Eri almost laughed in anger: "Is it really necessary? These cowards."

But soon, she sighed and looked up at the sky, "Then I'll have to go by myself?"

Just as she was preparing to charge forward with all her might, she discovered that the powerful ghost's ghostly power had miraculously disappeared.

"Did they finally escape?"

Eri Kitamura had actually anticipated the ghost's disappearance. After all, it was still broad daylight, and if someone with Akane's powerful demonic energy didn't restrain it, it would surely attract the attention of the gods.

Even if Qian's ghostly power is strong, it is difficult to defeat the divine messenger in broad daylight. After all, the divine messenger can obtain a continuous source of divine power during the day, while the ghost spirit will be weakened.

Because the demonic power disappeared, Kitamura Eri became bolder and immediately sped up to run towards where Akane had originally been.

After a long journey, Kitamura Eri finally arrived at the roadside tree where Akane had been standing and discovered the clue.

"As expected of the Demon King, the places he's been to all smell so good..." Kitamura Eri murmured to herself. Suddenly, she remembered something incredible and took a deep breath, letting out a "top-level lung-clearing" breath.

"...That feels good."

The lingering fragrance of the Demon King was not just an ordinary scent; a trace of her demonic power remained in this area, enough to satisfy the frail Kitamura Eri's hunger countless times.

For example, just like a small amount of money that slips through the fingers of the richest man in a big city is enough for a poor family to live on for a lifetime, that's the kind of feeling between the Ghost King and the little ghost.

However, Kitamura Eri was extremely greedy; absorbing just a little bit of the Demon King's fragrance was not enough for her, she wanted to inhale it all.
