The Path to Godhood Begins from the Otherworld

The Fuso Taimanin chose to place its headquarters in the Aoki Sea of ​​Trees perhaps because they saw no risk in controlling the space-time channel connecting to the Demon Realm. Instead, they could use the sealed space-time channel as a bargaining chip in negotiations with the Fuso government.

"I don't think they're being complacent, but rather that the Taimanin of this world are taking advantage of the Fuso government's ignorance of intelligence about the demon world. Simply put, they're exploiting the information gap to profit."

Chapter 36: Agreeing on a Cooperation with Alice

"If Luo Shu says this, many of the things that I thought were inconsistent before seem to have appropriate explanations."

Princess Alice pondered for a moment. "For example, why does the Fuso government of this world tolerate the Taimanin Headquarters operating outside the country's legal control? If it weren't for the unexpected kidnapping of Asaki Igawa's fiancé, I'm afraid this situation would have continued."

"So, Alice-san, do you want to cooperate?"

"Of course, but the counterattack on the Demon Realm is only feasible if we can use the Taimanin for our own benefit."

Princess Alice gathered her thoughts and said, "Also, we need to be careful about cornered people."

"Indeed, if those insects at Taimanin Headquarters become aware of our intentions, there's a risk that the information about the space-time passage connecting Aokigahara Forest to another world will be exposed."

Luo Shu thought for a moment and said, "Considering that it may take a long time to support Jinghe Ashaji to become the new leader of the Taimanin Squadron, I think the establishment of a cross-border trading company can be planned in advance."

"Where is the source of goods?"

"A cross-border trading company, is it possible that they can only choose to plunder the demon world?"

Luo Shu smiled and said, "Princess Alice, is there no special product in your world?"

"Ah?" Princess Alice was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and then she realized something. "Mr. Luo Shu wants to sell resources from our world to this world?"

"I remember Alice is an elf, right? According to the setting of the Fuso light novel, you elves should have specialties like fruits, or something like the fountain of life would also be fine."

"Mr. Luo Shu, how do you know about the Fountain of Life?" Alice didn't expect Luo Shu to suddenly mention this word. "Could it be..."

"It really exists." Luo Shu was stunned. "No, Princess Alice, please don't tell me that this fountain of life can really make people immortal?"

"How is that possible? The Fountain of Life is ultimately the product of highly concentrated liquefied life force. Its production is scarce, and at most it can extend life by a few decades."

"That's quite exaggerated." Luo Shu's mouth twitched when he heard that. "It's better not to sell this thing, otherwise Fusang in this world will be completely finished."

"why?"

"Princess Alice is an elf, so you should be considered immortal."

"I think so." Princess Alice paused for a moment, "Are humans obsessed with immortality?"

"Of course. Haven't you seen the human history of this world?"

Luo Shu smiled. "Heroes and heroes throughout history, emperors and rebels alike, have all been unable to escape the pursuit of immortality. Why do you think human medical technology has made such great progress in modern society, second only to our research on weapons?"

"But what is the significance of extending lifespan by several decades for humans?"

"For ordinary people, it's indeed meaningless. However, for the elite at the top of society, the true value of a few extra decades of life is far beyond what can be measured in ordinary money."

"I see." Alice was thoughtful after hearing what Luo Shu said. Then she said, "Then Mr. Luo Shu, please choose some fruits that are not found in this world."

"Yes, but considering the existence of such a disgusting organization as the Agricultural Cooperative in Fuso, it is necessary to support an agent in the Fuso government if possible. It would be best if the Agricultural Cooperative could be abolished."

"I understand. I'll have the kingdom send professionals to assist later." Princess Alice noted the Fusang Agricultural Cooperative mentioned by Luo Shu. Then, she heard the report from her subordinates, "Luo Shu's classmate, Ursula has returned. I'll go greet him first."

"Okay, I should go investigate that strange building from earlier."

Luo Shu thought for a moment, "I have a feeling that we might soon run into that high-ranking official of the Nomad Organization, the former Taimanin rebel ninja, Haboro."

"I hope that day won't come too late." Princess Alice chuckled. "After all, it will always be very troublesome if mice hide in the dark all the time."

"Nomad is not a rat, but a dormant venomous snake."

"So, classmate Luo Shu, be very careful when you lure the snake out of its hole."

"Don't worry, I know that you should hit the snake at its most vulnerable part."

Luo Shu said this and hung up the call.

Then he activated the teleportation anchor he had previously set up inside the strange building.

However, when Luo Shu returned to the strange building again, he found that the corpse of the demon in the room and the related equipment that he had not had time to take away were missing.

"Is this place abandoned?"

Luo Shu didn't expect that less than an hour had passed and the building had already lost the ability to sense the presence of demons.

"Nomad is truly decisive. Did he choose to retreat because he discovered the death of the clone, Long?"

Thinking of this, Luo Shu couldn't help but regret not getting rid of the second clone's body when he left. "This is not good."

As he pondered this, he left the room and conducted a thorough search of the interior of the building.

More than half an hour later, Luo Shu came to the outside of the building and found that this place seemed to be located on the seaside.

"Is it a dock somewhere in Tokyo's port area?" Luo Shu reached a high point in the building and looked out into the distance, catching sight of the busy dock not far away. "They're using a barrier to keep ordinary people away from the building. It seems Nomad's infiltration into Fuso is far greater than expected."

Just as Luo Shu was pondering the relationship between this building and the world outside Fuso, he suddenly felt a fatal sense of crisis.

This is?

Luo Shu glanced down at his feet.

"So cruel."

Luo Shu immediately understood that this building must have some kind of self-destruct program pre-set. "Ambush in the energy pathway? Using the accumulation of magical energy to create an explosion targeting the entire building. Nomad is indeed a munitions expert. This method is quite ruthless."

However, he didn't quite understand why Nomad gave up this facility so easily. Was it just because his plan against the Jinghe sisters was ruined by him?

Or was it Princess Alice who was exposed?

Could it be that Nomad mistook the person who rescued the Jinghe sisters as someone sent by Princess Alice?

Well, in that case, Princess Alice would become my scapegoat.

I always feel a little sorry for Princess Alice.

"Ok?"

Just as Luo Shu was about to teleport back to the Sky Island World to avoid the impact of the explosion on the building, he keenly caught a sight.

"It's interesting."

Luo Shu didn't expect that Nomad had arranged a monitor. He raised his head and looked towards the northeast direction, then activated the imperial weapon [Shangri-La].

Chapter 37: Vampires and the Use of Blood

After the dimensional array on the imperial weapon [Shangri-La] was activated by Luo Shu's magic, it took him and disappeared on the roof of the exploded building.

Thanks to the coordinate information provided by the World Tree Terminal, Luo Shu quickly reached the location of the attacker.

Then, Luo Shu did not give these observers a chance to react.

Luo Shu looked at the three observers in front of him. They seemed to be half-demons. Seeing that they still had some human signs in their bodies, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly, "You should understand what I say, right?"

The three half-demons were stunned for a while before they reacted and immediately attacked Luo Shu.

Luo Shu didn't expect that these three half-demons actually had such high combat skills and such strong ability to respond on the spot.

However, this physical fitness seems to be inferior to that of a real demon.

"Won't you answer?"

As Luo Shu spoke, he leisurely looked at the three half-demons.

As a result, he found that these three half-demons were creatures with red eyes, long silver-white hair, and fangs at the corners of their mouths.

Luo Shu immediately understood what these three half-demons were.

"So it's a vampire?"

The three vampires disguised themselves as half-demons, but they didn't expect Luo Shu to see through their identities so quickly.

So they stopped performing.

Suddenly, countless thick blood emanated from the bodies of the three half-demons.

Under the moonlight, the blood quickly turned into three weapons: a knife, a gun, and a sword.

"You're truly a vampire, transforming blood into something useful. That old man Edwin Black must have thought you were surveillance cameras."

Luo Shu owned the World Tree Terminal, so he had some knowledge of vampires. So when he saw the three blood weapons appear, he raised his hand slightly.

Immediately afterwards, countless magic circles emitting blue light lit up behind him.

[Ice Freezing Technique A] combined with [Flash Memory Calculation A].

Finally, countless ice weapons of different sizes and shapes appeared behind Luo Shu.

This scene left the three vampires stunned.

However, they had already swung the bloody weapons in their hands.

Luo Shu looked coldly at the vampires rushing towards him like moths to a flame, and controlled the ice weapons to nail the three vampires to death in mid-air.

He didn't dare hold back, after all, no one knew what the relationship was between Edwin Black and these three vampires.

However, the sudden appearance of these three vampires made Luo Shu realize that perhaps Nomad was not really expelled from Fuso by the Taimanin more than ten years ago and fled to the Lighthouse Country as Alice had learned from the Taimanin.

Nomad's penetration into the society of the Fuso world is far deeper than he had imagined.

It seems that some of the information about demons from the Taimanin is not entirely credible.

Luo Shu looked up at the waning moon in the sky and sighed.

"I hope my appearance won't be exposed, otherwise things will be troublesome."

However, he knew very well that it would be useless to think about it at this moment.

Luo Shu calmed himself down, cleaned up the scene, and then teleported back to Qianying Apartment.

Nothing happened that night. The next morning, Luo Shu contacted Kurumizaka Ruri, Hamasaki Reina, and Sasaki Setsuna, had breakfast with them, and then went to school.

However, what Luo Shu did not expect was that Class B welcomed a new transfer student this morning.

"This is Ursula, the new transfer student to our school. She's from the same world as Princess Alice."

"My name is Ursula."

Shirakawa Miwa didn't expect Ursula's self-introduction to be so brief. She was a little helpless and arranged for Ursula to sit in the seat behind Luo Shu.

When Luo Shu heard this name, he immediately thought of the friend that Princess Alice mentioned on the phone yesterday, and it seemed that her name was this. He immediately shifted his gaze to the Elf Princess.

Alice gave Luo Shu a meaningful smile.

Luo Shu was a little confused, but he soon noticed a gaze.

He subconsciously shifted his gaze, only to find that Ursula was looking at him with an aggressive gaze as she passed by his seat.

When Ursula noticed Luo Shu looking at her, her eyes suddenly turned into the golden vertical pupils unique to the dragon clan.

Is this the dragon clan?

Ursula discovered that Luo Shu was not affected by his pressure.

You have to know that she concentrated her pressure precisely on Luo Shu.

However, Luo Shu seemed unaware.

This couldn't help but make Ursula's rating of Luo Shu improve a lot.

It also made her initially believe Alice's high evaluation of Luo Shu's personal strength last night.

Luo Shu certainly didn't understand that Ursula had become curious about him. He was currently thinking about what Ursula's sudden reveal of the dragon pupils meant.

Could it be that he wanted to give himself a warning?

But I didn't feel any mental oppression from the other party.

Wait, could it be that my [Iron Will S] made me immune to it?

Uh, never mind. I'll ask Alice what's going on later.

Next, apart from the arrival of a transfer student in Class B in the morning, not much happened.

At lunch time, Luo Shu, Kurumizaka Ruri and three other girls went to the Idol Research Club classroom to meet up, and then returned to the Sky Island World to have lunch.

After lunch, Luo Shu did not perform a life ensemble with the three women, but watched a movie with them in the Lord's Mansion of Yggdrasil in the Sky Island World.

After lunch, he teleported the three girls back to the Idol Research Club classroom at Seishin Academy.

There were no accidents in the afternoon classes.
