Tokyo: I am the Lord of All Demons!

She is a divine messenger and theoretically can look directly at the sun, but she still cannot look directly at the sun for a long time, or she will still get hurt.

While shopping, Fujita Mino originally wanted to find someone to ask about the situation, but now everyone seemed like a fake, and she felt it was better not to easily contact these people.

What if she encounters a fake and gets entangled with him? Without the orders of the Supreme God, she cannot deal with these fakes, otherwise even a small action of hers could cause an imbalance of Yin and Yang.

Chapter 184 Engraved in DNA

Not only were the divine messengers in Kanagawa perplexed by the numerous fakes on the streets, but even Enma Ai and Yamamura Kikuko in Tokyo were equally puzzled by the large number of fakes around them.

What puzzled them was not only that the false people belonged to the spirits, but also that these false people did not belong to the spirits of the human realm, but to the spirits of the "animal realm".

What are the spirits of the animal realm? It means that they were animals in life, but after death, their animal souls attached themselves to humans.

The basement of a shopping mall.

Enma Ai and Yamamura Kikuko had just finished shopping when Yamamura Kikuko complained, "What's going on here? Why were there so many fake people in the mall?"

"Kikuko, so you felt it too?" Enma Ai was already drenched in sweat after just emerging from the fake group.

Kikuko Yamamura frowned: "This is bad. I have a feeling that something is definitely happening in this world, and we've been kept in the dark."

Upon hearing this, Enma Ai asked, "So, tonight, should we still launch Operation Demon King and reap the world's fear?"

They originally planned to launch Operation Ghost King tonight, at which time the two of them would become Ghost Kings and bring pain to the world.

However, the prerequisite for becoming a demon king is that there is profit to be made. However, nowadays, many fake demons have appeared all over Japan, while normal humans are becoming fewer and fewer.

To become a demon king and then harvest the fear of the world refers to harvesting the fear of normal people, while false people and beasts, because their souls are relatively incomplete, naturally have no fear to be harvested.

Kikuko Yamamura didn't comment on Enma Ai's doubts. She patted Enma Ai on the shoulder and said, "It's up to you! If you want it, I'll be with you and we'll turn this world upside down together!"

Enma Ai was somewhat moved, and tears welled up in her eyes. She said, "Kikuko, I'm satisfied with just hearing you say that. Come on, let's make the world feel pain together!"

Kikuko Yamamura nodded: "Then let's go to Kyoto now, and while we're at it, let's send a signal to the High God and find a suitable time and place to transform into the Demon King."

“Okay!” Enma Ai nodded.

And so, the two ghostly girls set off for Kyoto, and along the way, they sent a signal to Makoto Araki.

……

……

Kanagawa.

Fujita Mino's villa.

Makoto Araki was sleeping in late again today, doing nothing. He was sleeping soundly when a signal entered his mind.

Then, Makoto Araki woke up.

Analyze the signals in your mind.

The signal was sent by Kikuko Yamamura in the name of Ai Enma; they wanted to transform in Kyoto around midnight tonight.

The transformation into a demon king surprised Makoto Araki, because these two ghostly girls had wanted to become demon kings for a long time, but they had delayed for many days and finally decided to become demons to harvest the world.

You know, if they hadn't reminded Araki Makoto, he would have thought they had already become the Demon King!

In addition to the signal from Kikuko Yamamura, which included not only the prospect of transforming into the Demon King on a chosen day, but also a crucial piece of information.

In the intelligence report, Kikuko Yamamura stated that there are many strange people on the streets. They look like people, but they are not actually people. Their inner souls are those of beasts.

Araki Makoto was somewhat confused by this information. He knew what the Animal Path was, but connecting the Animal Path with humans was something he couldn't quite understand.

Hey, is this a scam?

Am I not a genius in Shinto?

How could there be things I don't understand?

Thinking about this, Makoto Araki recalled something he had pondered before: if this world lost its balance, it could lead to uncontrollable risks.

For example, those pseudo-people reported by Kikuko Yamamura are actually a kind of risk that Makoto Araki cannot control.

What should we do now?

Did they kill them all?

Or how should I put it?

First of all, killing him is unlikely.

There's no reason to kill them, and Makoto Araki doesn't have the energy to do such a thing. According to Kikuko Yamamura's intelligence, there are quite a few fakes in Tokyo alone. Who knows how many fakes there are in total?

While Makoto Araki was still thinking, the door to the room opened and Mino Fujita walked in.

When she saw that Makoto Araki had woken up, Mino Fujita was clearly a little flustered: "Eh, Masai, I didn't know you were already awake, Makoto-sama..."

What Fujita Mino is wearing now is undoubtedly a shrine maiden outfit, but she doesn't usually wear it at home; she wears pajamas instead.

So, at a glance, he knew she had already gone out, and Araki Makoto asked, "Do you have something to report to me?"

“Eh, yes…” Fujita Mino, caught off guard by the question, felt a little embarrassed. She didn’t know how to tell the God that the streets were full of fake people.

Seeing that Fujita Mino couldn't give a straight answer, Araki Makoto simply asked, "Aren't there many fake people on the streets of Kanagawa as well?"

Although Fujita Mino herself defined those targets as "pseudo-people," she couldn't help but feel taken aback when the word came out of the mouth of the god.

She said, "Eh?! False humans? Does 'Kami-sama' refer to those ghosts and spirits that live in human bodies and can move under the sun?"

Instead of answering her question, Makoto Araki countered with, "You saw it?"

Fujita Mino nodded, pursed her lips, and said, "Yeah, I was just shopping and I noticed that there are hardly any normal people left on the streets. It's almost all beasts controlling human bodies. It's terrifying..."

Fujita Mino's words confirmed Araki Makoto's conjecture. It seems that he was indeed too lazy after becoming a god, which led to the abnormal situation in this world.

Fujita Mino reacted even more strongly to Araki Makoto's reaction, exclaiming in astonishment, "Eh? You're kidding, right? Cami-sama, you didn't know that before?"

Araki Makoto didn't want to talk to Fujita Mino about her questions. He didn't want to hear any of her discouraging remarks. What he wanted was an answer.

An answer that can handle this.

Of course, Makoto Araki is now a god, and theoretically, as long as there is a constant stream of incense offerings from the shrine, he can live as long as heaven and earth.

But the problem lies in this theory: what if everyone in this world becomes a false human? Then he will no longer receive offerings, and in that case, his god might face destruction.

Some might wonder, can't ghosts offer him incense? The answer is no.

Unlike ghosts, which are actually byproducts of Makoto Araki's creation, ghosts cannot give back to the creator.

Therefore, Makoto Araki's current state of mind is actually complex; he needs a wise person to guide him on the right path.

Araki Makoto looked down at the somewhat silly Fujita Mino; this girl was clearly not the "smart" type.

Even so, Araki Makoto had no reliable people at the moment, so he could only casually ask Fujita Mino, "What do you think we should do next?"

"Huh? Us?" Fujita Mino really didn't expect that her goddess would describe the two sides like that.

“We”—this means that the Supreme God treats her as a whole, as someone with whom one can share hardships and as an equal.

Fujita Mino's flattery surprised Araki Makoto, who was somewhat disappointed. Tsk, these divine messengers are all pretty but useless vases!

“…What can we do?” Fujita Mino finally spoke, her voice rising in pitch.

"We'll meet force with force and water with earth! If they pose a threat to us, we'll eliminate them!" Fujita Mino said, raising her right fist in a fighting stance.

Everyone understands this statement.

However, Makoto Araki was still quite surprised that Mino Fujita would take the initiative to bring up the topic of battle.

Aren't these divine messengers always incompetent, like a puppet regime that collapses as soon as it leaves the suzerain state?

Unexpectedly, these people actually volunteered to fight without the deity's permission.

Yes, that's exactly what Fujita Mino thought. She wasn't a weak woman, but someone who could protect others.

Before this, the High God had always protected her and trained her, allowing her to grow into the young woman she is today.

Now it's time to repay the debt. Fujita Mino is no exaggeration to say that she is now willing to give her life for the God.

Araki Makoto simply smiled at Fujita Mino's bravery, not understanding why they were so resolute.

But if we do the opposite, then there is no doubt that Makoto Araki would never sacrifice his life for them.

After all, no matter what, the only thing in this world that truly belongs to you is your life. If you lose your life, you lose everything.

However, since Fujita Mino had said that, Araki Makoto naturally had to say something: "Your words are enough. But things shouldn't have gotten that serious yet, and you don't need to risk your life."

With just that one sentence, Fujita Mino was moved to tears, and she pursed her lips, saying, "Kami-sama..."

In Fujita Mino's eyes, Araki Makoto is a handsome and charismatic person, someone she wants to protect for the rest of her life.

That's right. Even though some of Fujita Mino's memories have been erased, her deep-seated admiration for the god is something that can never be changed. She would do anything for him.

While Fujita Mino was still moved, Araki Makoto suddenly asked, "Do you have any more specific information about those fakes?"

"Huh? No." Fujita Mino shook her head. When she encountered fake people while strolling around outside, she always avoided them and didn't dare to question them, so naturally she didn't have any information.

As Fujita Mino was thinking this, she suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said to Araki Makoto, "Then I'll go out and investigate some more!"

"Go ahead. If anything happens, you can decide for yourself. If you really can't find a solution, then come to me." Araki Makoto had no objection to this. He didn't want to be facing Fujita Mino all the time, even though she was just like a personal maid. He would still feel uncomfortable being with other people all the time.

After Fujita Mino left, Araki Makoto immediately lay back down on the bed and fell asleep.

There's no way around it; he's been addicted to video games lately and hasn't slept for days. He's really exhausted himself and now needs to catch up on sleep to restore his energy and stamina.

Oh, actually it's not that I don't need to catch up on sleep, the problem is that there's nothing to do right now. Fujita Mino has to go out to investigate information, while Kitamura Eri is sleeping soundly in another room.

Let's talk about it tonight!

……

……

That said, Risa Ishikawa, together with the head of the Shinto Agency, went to Asakusa Ara Shrine, the largest Ara Shrine in Tokyo, for inspection, and they are now at the signing stage.

Shingo Kishimoto, the head of the Shinto Office, is currently signing documents in his office at the shrine, while Risa Ishikawa is taking advantage of this free time to stroll around the Ara Shrine.

The shrine covers a large area, but Ishikawa Risa has no concept of its size. She only knows that she is walking around inside the shrine, and after walking for almost half an hour, she still can't reach the end.

In terms of scale, this shrine can accommodate at least a thousand priests and shrine maidens working at the same time.

This leads to the question: where can so many priests and priestesses be recruited? After the attack on the divine messenger, Ishikawa Risa doesn't believe anyone would dare to apply for priest or priestess positions now.

Forget it, who cares!
