Tokyo: I am the Lord of All Demons!

Araki Makoto smiled and joked, "Isn't it natural to fear the strong? Besides, there's a rule among you ghosts that the big fish eats the small fish, and I'm the big fish, and you're the small fish."

“You are a well-fed fish…” Qian hesitated, “No, you are a whale.”

Before Araki Makoto could speak, Akane immediately retorted, "Ah, saying I'm a whale isn't quite right. You should be the ocean, because the ocean only nurtures me."

Araki Makoto laughed and said, "I never expected that a demon king like you would describe me like that."

These words were spoken with a certain air of authority; any other divine messenger or spirit would have already knelt down by now.

But Qian, relying on the will of multiple souls, forcibly held on: "You, a god, also chat and laugh with me?"

Araki Makoto simply smiled at Akane's words; to him, they were utterly insignificant.

It's worth noting that she was able to withstand Makoto Araki's pressure only because he didn't exert any force. If he had used even a little force, he could have made Akane kneel on the ground just as easily.

However, Makoto Araki would not do such things. He did not want to crush Akane's self-esteem, after all, he still had to keep her around to wreak havoc on the world.

Akane felt conflicted about the oppressive aura that Makoto Araki had just unleashed. She had never imagined that simply standing and talking to him would be enough for him to suppress her.

That's right, it was suppression. Although she didn't kneel down in front of him, Akane could clearly feel that it was difficult to use her demonic power.

If he could use his demonic powers, Akane would have attacked him long ago, instead of waiting until now.

After all, to Qian, the man in front of her was just a legendary ghost or deity, not her god, whom she had not yet acknowledged.

But now, after the fight, Qian feels she can accept it.

I am no match for him.

I'm not even worthy to carry his shoes!

Qian originally thought there was nothing in this world she didn't know, but she never expected that the man in front of her would be so terrifying.

I know absolutely nothing about him!

Seeing Akane deep in thought, Araki Makoto chuckled, "You're thinking about me?"

"I didn't." After all, Qian was a combination of a woman's soul, so she refused without even thinking.

Rejecting a man is something women do subconsciously, but whether they will regret it later is another matter.

Makoto Araki used his divine power to transform it into a paper fan and said, "So, you're not planning to get down to business?"

"Me? I don't have anything important to do," Qian said dejectedly.

Before she could finish speaking, Qian suddenly changed her mind, "No, I have something important to do!"

Then, she tore open a spatial rift beside her, grabbed a wisp of the female ghost she had previously set her sights on, and before the ghost could react, she sucked it directly into her body.

After devouring the ghost, Akane's ghostly power did not increase immediately, but her size increased, making her look like she was pregnant.

Upon seeing this, Makoto Araki tilted his head back slightly and said, "You got pregnant at lightning speed! You can take maternity leave now."

Upon hearing this, Qian's face darkened: "You can't joke like that!"

Makoto Araki simply laughed off Akane's sullen expression; to him, it didn't matter how dark Akane's face looked.

In any case, there is no one that Makoto Araki cares about right now, let alone ghosts like Akane who can be mass-produced, he doesn't really care about those few powerful divine messengers either.

Perhaps this is the syndrome that comes with becoming a god. Makoto Araki felt what it meant to be "invincible and lonely".

Because he is so invincible, Makoto Araki is now too lazy to become a god in other instances. There is no need for him to do so. Being a Japanese god is actually quite nice.

Just then, Akane started to challenge Araki Makoto: "Eh, are you also doing nothing?"

Makoto Araki shook his fan. "No, my job is to be a boss. Have you ever seen a boss do anything? I just have employees to do the work for me."

Qian scoffed at this: "Pshaw, even if you're a boss, you still have to worry about whether the company will go bankrupt, right? Don't you have to do business too?"

Makoto Araki sighed and said, "You have a point, but my employees can handle business for me on their own, so I can't find anything to do."

While talking with Makoto Araki, Akane was seriously considering a question: what exactly did he mean by "company" and "employees"?

Could it be that the company refers to...?

This world?

And the "employees" refer to all the ghosts under this man's name?

But is this reasonable?

That's not very reasonable.

Although this man is a god, never forget that there are also divine messengers and the gods behind them in this world. The man in front of you is not the ruler of the world.

However, Qian's understanding was ultimately limited to the realm of ghosts and spirits, so no matter how hard she racked her brains, she couldn't figure out what a "company" or an "employee" meant.

Chapter 171 Head Pat

As the ruler of all demons, Makoto Araki needed to maintain an air of mystery, so he didn't talk much with Akane. He then sat down to meditate and slowly closed his eyes.

The next second, Makoto Araki, who had previously resembled a human being, had become a deity.

Yes, it's a statue.

Qian didn't know how the High God had done it, but this must mean that the High God had left, right?

Regardless of whether he left or not, the fact that the supreme god has become a statue means that he is already planning to issue an "eviction notice".

Akane didn't have the nerve to leave first, and then she returned to the scene of the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons.

It was already four in the morning, and the city was about to be bathed in the light of dawn. The procession of the Hundred Demons Night Parade had mostly dispersed.

Before the ghosts of the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons had completely dispersed, Akane captured several more female ghosts and then devoured them.

So far tonight, Qian has captured and devoured three female ghosts. However, she cannot digest these ghosts all at once and estimates that it will take her one or two days to digest and absorb them.

At that time, Akane's strength will undoubtedly improve further, and it is estimated that she will be two or three times stronger than Sachiko Hanako.

……

……

The first rays of sunlight in the morning successfully drove away the last vestiges of evil spirits on the earth, and the morning light shone into every household.

Feeling the sunlight, Fujita Mino woke up from her dream. In her dream, she met her god, who told her that if she could build one hundred shrines for him, he would make her a god.

Fujita Mino didn't take such a request to heart; it was simply impossible to achieve! That's why she was dreaming, not witnessing it in reality.

To be fair, Fujita Mino felt like it had been a while since she had seen the High God.

Fujita Mino got up. She wasn't sleeping in her own room anymore, just so she could leave it for the God.

She walked out of the room, pushed open her own door, and found that no one was inside.

Then, wearing pink pajamas, Fujita Mino stepped onto the balcony to bask in the morning light. "Kami-sama, shouldn't you really like playing video games...?"

Fujita Mino couldn't understand it. In her mind, if the god liked playing games so much, he would definitely come every day.

As a result, it only lasted one day.

She felt a little disappointed.

She had originally planned that if they met again, she would tell him her innermost thoughts—that is, to become a god.

Yes, Fujita Mino no longer wants to be a divine messenger; instead, she wants to become a god.

If one were to become a god, not only would one's power increase, but one could also attain immortality—something everyone would desire.

Furthermore, if one becomes a god, the gap between oneself and the supreme god will narrow.

I am not on par with the Supreme God right now, just like the emperor and his concubine in the ancient world of the neighboring Divine Dragon Continent.

However, if they become gods, the gap between them will narrow, and at that time, Fujita Mino's status will be equivalent to that of an "empress".

Being the only person that the Supreme God can care about is something that any divine messenger would yearn for! Just like a soldier who doesn't want to be a sergeant isn't a good soldier.

Fujita Mino leaned against the balcony railing, gazing at the rising sun over the sea, and began to mutter to herself:

"Kami-sama, at this moment, how I wish I could watch the sunrise and sunset with you..."

"Could you grant this little girl this small wish?"

"Eh..."

Fujita Mino's mood became somewhat down as she muttered to herself, but the sunlight shining on her face quickly cheered her up again.

Just as Fujita Mino was thinking about whether she should leave the sunlight and suppress her emotions for a while, she suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

A bright ray of sunlight shone down from the sun and landed on the balcony, transforming into a tall, slender figure.

As the human form took shape, the sunlight that enveloped him faded, and Fujita Mino saw the person's true appearance.

Fujita Mino shouted with ecstasy, "Kami-sama?!"

It was Makoto Araki.

He didn't want to come, but he found that Fujita Mino had been wanting to see him, so he came.

When Araki Makoto arrived, he didn't greet Fujita Mino, but instead walked directly into the room after her smiling welcome.

Once inside, Makoto Araki joked, "Did you expect me to come here and not even be offered a cup of tea?"

"Oh no, I'll make you tea right now, Kamisama!" Fujita Mino rushed in, flustered, and began to boil water and make tea.

It's simply unbearable to look at.

However, Makoto Araki didn't care about these trivial matters. He glanced around and found that Eri Kitamura was still in the e-sports room.

This girl is addicted to the internet.

Makoto Araki walked directly into the gaming room at Mino Fujita's house and found Eri Kitamura asleep in front of the computer.

However, Makoto Araki did not intend to wake her up. Instead, he sat down in front of another machine and turned it on!

Then, without further ado, I opened the PUBG game and started playing!

As Araki Makoto successfully started the game matchmaking, Fujita Mino had already brewed tea and brought it into the e-sports room.

Fujita Mino was shocked, but also somewhat expected, that the god-like figure had immediately entered the e-sports room to play games.

Seeing that the god had already started a game, Fujita Mino could only put her tea aside and say, "Kami-sama, please have some tea."

Without turning his head, Araki Makoto said, "Just put it aside for now."

Fujita Mino nodded and said, "Okay, Your Majesty, remember to drink it in time, otherwise it will get cold."
