Tokyo: I am the Lord of All Demons!

The other person on the phone said, "I'm driving, and I'm currently on my way back to Shinto Hall."

“I advise you not to,” Shimizu Suzune said, shaking her head. “The situation is a bit complicated right now. It would be better if you found a safe place to stay, preferably abroad. This country is no longer safe to stay in.”

Despite Shimizu Suzune's warning, the other party still spoke in an incredulous tone: "...Is the situation that serious?"

Shimizu Suzune didn't respond to Kishimoto Shingo's words, but said seriously, "I'll only say this once, if you want to survive this catastrophe, the farther you run, the better."

After saying that, before the other person could even finish speaking, Shimizu Rin hung up the phone.

Taking this opportunity, Shimizu Suzune dialed Ishikawa Risa's number, but there was no answer; the call showed that the other party was out of service.

There was no other way but to use divine power to scan and search for Ishikawa Risa. Considering that the situation was getting worse and worse, we had to meet up with her as soon as possible.

……

……

Not long ago.

anyway.

After being bombarded by firearms and then struck by Shimizu Suzune's white-bladed demon bow, Ooi Yushin's body and demonic power have become doubly weakened, and his life is in grave danger.

Given his injuries, it would take him several days to recover, and it would be virtually impossible for him to escape Shimizu Suzune's search on his own.

Fortunately, just when he felt desperate, a girl in a black dress suddenly stood in front of him.

Although he didn't know who the newcomer was, Ooi Yuomi subconsciously believed that she must be his savior, so he reached out his hand to her for help: "Who are you...?"

The other party said, "This entity, born to adjudicate the wanton actions of a certain man, can also be called 'World Will'."

"The will of the world..." Ooi Yuuji chewed on the words, then raised his eyes, which were obscured by blood, "So, are you a human, a god, or a demon?"

Ooi Yushin's questions were almost instinctive; he didn't expect the other party to answer them.

Unexpectedly, the other party patiently replied, "I am neither human, nor god, nor ghost, but the embodiment of this world."

Because it was nighttime, and with the blessing of the red moon, Ooi Yushin's body and demonic power rapidly recovered during their conversation, and he was almost able to stand up again.

As Ooi Yuomi stood up, the girl who called herself the "Will of the World" turned her head to look behind her.

He then said, "Hmm? There are cockroaches coming. This place isn't very clean. Let's find somewhere else to talk."

As she spoke, she waved her hand.

Her figure, her power, and even Ooi Yushin's body and his demonic power vanished into thin air in that instant.

Then, it appeared in another place.

Because it was pitch black, and Ooi Yushin was still lying on the ground, no one knew where this place was. It smelled of grass, so it was probably on some unknown lawn.

Thanks to the red moonlight, Ooi Yuomi was finally able to see the true face of the girl who called herself the "Will of the World".

She is about 1.5 meters tall and has a very thin figure, but her double ponytail hairstyle gives the illusion that she is younger than her actual age.

But in reality, a life or "existence" like hers has no age; age is merely a crude definition of one's own life journey.

The lighting wasn't good enough, so Ooi Yuomi misjudged the situation. The girl's black dress appeared to be black, but it was actually a dark purple dress.

The dress also features deep red butterflies, which are not static but dynamic.

No, it wasn't just the butterflies on her skirt that were moving; even the two butterfly hair clips on her head were fluttering.

The girl in the black dress, who called herself the "Will of the World," stepped forward and said, "Shall we continue our previous topic?"

Ooi Yuuji then belatedly scratched his head, saying in a daze, "Oh, about what we were talking about earlier? You mean, you're not a ghost or a god, but an incarnation of this world?"

World Will: "..."

The fact that the world's will did not respond to Ooi Yushin's question took Ooi Yushin by surprise.

He originally thought that this so-called "world will" should not have its own consciousness, but only act based on the "subconscious" like some kind of animal.

While thinking, Ooi Yutomi suddenly had a flash of inspiration and blurted out, "I suddenly thought of a question, may I ask you one?"

In response, the corners of the World Will's mouth curled up slightly, and she said, "Are you trying to ask about the 'fake people' that are everywhere on the streets? What's going on?"

Ooi Yuuji's pupils contracted, and he involuntarily took a step back, exclaiming in horror, "You can actually read minds...?"

However, the World Will spoke in a completely incomprehensible language: "What is the World Will? It is the thoughts of this world, and I am merely an entity created by the consensus reached by the wisdom contributed by these humans."

Upon hearing this, Ooi Yutomi broke out in a cold sweat: "You truly make people feel an extreme presence..."

The World Will scoffed at this, saying, "Do you find it terrifying? Isn't it because humanity grew tired of the world's dance of ghosts and gods that I came into being?"

Ooi Yuuji shook his head and said coldly, "So, you were born from the will of humanity, and you appeared here to destroy the demons, right? If that's the case, why did you save my life?"

The girl in the black dress smiled and said, "Perhaps I didn't explain it clearly enough. Since ghosts are formed from human souls, they can certainly be a part of me, so do you understand?"

"I still don't understand." Ooi Yutomi shook his head again, then seemed to realize something: "You mean, you're not saving me? You're doing what you think is right?"

“Exactly.” The World Will laughed, pointing at Ooi Yuuji’s nose and saying, “You look like a fool, but you’re not completely clueless!”

Ooi Yutomi still found it unbelievable, and he continued to press, "Don't you... have any requests of me at all? Like, do you hope I will take revenge or something?"

The World Will said, "Of course not, because whether I ask you or not, you and the divine messengers are irreconcilable enemies."

After thinking for a moment, Ooi Yuomi asked, "Can I ask you one more question? I have quite a few questions, please forgive me."

The World Will seemed to have seen through Ooi Yuuomi's thoughts once again, and she asked, "You want to ask who is stronger, me or the Demon King Akane, right?"

"Yes." Ooi Yutomi thought to himself, not hiding his thoughts.

The World Will began its introduction to Akane with a blank expression: "The Demon King Akane is also composed of souls, and moreover, she is composed of the souls of several extremely unfortunate women. She possesses the most sorrowful and negative power in the world."

Seeing that the world's will was still not getting to the point, Ooi Yutomi impatiently urged, "So...?"

The World Will continued to speak expressionlessly, like a robot: "Although my soul composition is not pure enough, compared with Ghost King Qian, it is nothing."

"...Are you a great shaman?" Yuomi Ooi posed this hypothetical question.

Unexpectedly, the girl in the black dress started to take it personally: "Your assumption is correct. My abilities are indeed superior to Akane's, and by more than just a little bit."

The manifestation of the World Will made Yuomi Ooi realize a problem: the World Will does indeed have its own "personality".

Since she has her own personality, she cannot be without flaws, and if she has flaws, she can be exploited.

Ooi Yutomi gritted his teeth, seemingly unwilling, and said, "Since you are so powerful, why don't you destroy that high and mighty god? Isn't that one of the most important purposes for your existence?"

Unexpectedly, the girl in the black dress said, "I must advise you here: if you want to use me, you'd better take back those little thoughts! The will of the world is omniscient and omnipotent in this world."

To this, Ooi Yutomi scoffed: "Is that so? What if I could tell you about areas you don't know?"

“Absolutely impossible.” The World Will shook its head, a rare occurrence for it.

Seeing the actions of the world's will, Ooi Yushin laughed out loud: "I won't even mention that high and mighty god, you probably don't know anything about his messengers either."

The girl in the black dress said, "Trying to provoke me? Although it won't work, I still have to tell you a fact: I not only know where his messengers are, but I also know where he is hiding right now."

Upon hearing the question about the World Will, Ooi Yuomi hurriedly pressed for an answer: "Where is it?"

He asked this question for two reasons: first, he didn't believe the world's will was so powerful; second, he wanted to use her to obtain valuable information so that he could deal with the threat from the divine messenger in the future and share the information with Ghost King Qian.

The World Will, which is the girl in the black dress, said: "Alright, both of the divine messenger girls are in Tokyo, and they are currently preparing to meet up; as for their god, he is currently in a house built against the mountain in Kanagawa, where he is being served by two beautiful girls—a divine messenger and a shikigami—while he plays games!"

"Haha!" Upon hearing the word "playing games," Ooi Yushin couldn't help but laugh.

"Why are you laughing?" The girl in the black dress was completely bewildered. She never expected that she would be bewildered. Wasn't she supposed to be able to read minds?

Could it be that her mind-reading ability is conditional? At this moment, Ooi Yuomi suddenly noticed this detail.

Ooi Yuomi covered his mouth and laughed, "I'm laughing because you actually told me a joke like 'Gods are playing video games'."

The girl in the black dress calmly said, "This is not a joke, but the truth."

Ooi Yushin laughed even harder: "Then why don't you tell me what game he's playing right now?"

Regarding this game, World Will said somewhat uncertainly, "That game should be PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, right?"

Upon hearing this, Ooi Yutomi burst into laughter: "Haha! So you mean I should log in and snipe him?"

The girl in the black dress looked displeased at Ooi Yutomi's words. This was the first time she had shown displeasure. She said angrily, "What do you mean? You don't seem to believe me?"

Chapter 190 Kitamura Sighs

Kanagawa.

It was already late at night.

Makoto Araki is still playing games. To his left is Mino Fujita, and to his right is Eri Kitamura; they are his wings.

While playing a game, Makoto Araki suddenly felt his left eyelid twitch, but it was just a twitch and he didn't immediately feel any bad omen.

At this moment, Fujita Mino noticed the god's unusual behavior, because he had been controlling his character to run, but suddenly stopped halfway through, so he turned his head to take a look.

Upon closer inspection, she noticed that the High God seemed to be troubled, so Fujita Mino asked him, "What happened, Cami-sama?"

After asking the question, Fujita Mino turned to look at the screen and started controlling the game character in her hand.

Makoto Araki frowned. He continued moving his game character while answering Mino Fujita's question: "Something bad might happen soon."

"What's so serious?" Fujita Mino tilted her head, looking puzzled. "Is it about those fake people?"

Prior to this, Fujita Mino and Kitamura Eri had already investigated the fake man incident and shared information with Araki Makoto.

After investigation, it was found that those pseudo-humans did indeed lack intelligence, and it was initially determined that they were reincarnated from the animal realm. However, Fujita Mino and Kitamura Eri's abilities were very limited, and they were unable to investigate their origins.

As for Makoto Araki?

He actually had no investigative methods; the only people he could use were a few divine messengers, a shikigami, and a ghost.

However, it is certain that the fake person was not created by Makoto Araki, nor was it created by his "system".

The system I acquired during my transmigration is currently in a dormant state and will not automatically generate ghosts or pseudo-humans.

As for why it needs to go into hibernation, it's because Makoto Araki has now become a god and feels he no longer needs it.

Now that Fujita Mino is asking if he's confused because of the fake person incident, it's time for Araki Makoto to give an answer.

After a moment of contemplation, Makoto Araki said, "There are actually many complicated doubts about the appearance of fake people on the streets, but my ominous premonition does not come from fake people. I think it originates from something else."

At this point, Makoto Araki and Mino Fujita, led by Eri Kitamura, had already secured a victory, bringing the game to a close.

Fujita Mino turned around, blinked, and asked, "Eh? There are other threats?"

Makoto Araki shook his head, thought for a moment, and said, "I'm not so sure, but I have a feeling that it will be the biggest threat to date."
