Shinji Ikari, the pilot of Unit-01 during the Spirit Awakening Era

"Tch..." Isayama Mei spat fiercely. Toguro's younger brother really didn't expect her to jump out from inside. After all, for Isayama Mei, using this skill was just a whim, and she didn't think much about it at all. However, in terms of the effect, Isayama Mei felt that it was worth it!

Unlike Shinji Ikari's "Super! Cracking Purple Flame Bullet!", the "Roar of the Flood Dragon" she unleashed consumed far less demonic energy and spiritual energy than Shinji's. However, the damage and destruction it caused were immense! Mei Isayama glanced at it and scoffed! Although the corner of the arena that Shinji's shotgun had left in ruins had been repaired, the damage was still quite evident. While her shockwave seemed to cause more thorough destruction, its effect was clearly incomparable to the blood-soaked crater it created that day.

"Oh...oh!" The little rabbit let out two exclamations, quickly ran onto the arena and stood next to Isayama Mei. "The winner of this match! Player Isayama Mei!" After saying this, she looked at the scales on Isayama Mei's body with some envy. "What a cool look. I didn't expect you to be a half-demon."

"Just an accident~" Isayama Mei didn't intend to say more. After all, the source of her power was incredibly dangerous, and she knew very well that her behavior, logic, and thoughts were all influenced by the remnant soul of the dragon. If one day the dragon's remnant soul awakened within her, and she were replaced, she wouldn't be surprised at all! Half-demon? A death warrant!

So she needs to become stronger! Constantly stronger! Stronger than anyone else! Well, this can be considered a positive influence from the dragon.

"You've worked hard!" Little Rabbit looked at Isayama Mei with some sympathy. Whether among demons or monsters, these so-called half-demons undoubtedly suffered discrimination and harm. In a sense, it is understandable for half-demons to be close to humans. After all, even if they are being used, humans will at least pretend to be closer. But among demons, it is naked discrimination and harm.

Silently wiping away her tears, as a not-so-powerful demon, Little Rabbit could only say that her treatment was only slightly better than that of these half-demons. Half-demons were the targets of bullying, and they, these weak demons, also suffered all kinds of bullying. Therefore, Little Rabbit was particularly "understanding" of Mei Isayama in front of her.

"Oh! Right!" Izayama Mei didn't seem to notice the commentator's sudden melancholy expression at all. After all, once she chose this path, she couldn't care less about other people's opinions. The Izayama family was going crazy! A promising future star had suddenly... become a half-demon?

However, on this point, Mei Isayama thought Shinji Ikari made a lot of sense. You bunch of guys who use the Killing Stone have the nerve to say that being a half-demon is a disgrace? Ha! You've got some nerve!

"What?! You really want to do this?" Little Rabbit was startled and looked at Isayama Mei in disbelief. After all, what she had just heard was quite shocking.

"What's Isayama doing with his meditation?" Shinji Ikari tilted his head and looked at the stage. Clearly, Usagi's exclamation was definitely not something interesting.

"Isayama Mei has decided to directly challenge the remaining three members of the Demon World Berserker Team! Yes! She'll face all three of them alone!" Little Rabbit seemed to have offered some advice to Isayama Mei. As the host, she had been observing the battle up close and naturally understood the situation. The Demon World Berserker Team was already formidable, let alone the three remaining members! Especially the core members and the general—each one was undoubtedly stronger than the last. It wasn't simply a matter of defeating the three guys Isayama Mei had previously taken down.

"This woman is insane..." Shinji Ikari sighed. How could he not understand what Mei Isayama meant? This woman just wanted to participate in a death match and squeeze out her potential. After all, before fusing with the dragon, she already had combat power close to A-rank. With the assistance of Shinji Ikari and Yuu Aso, the three of them had killed A-rank opponents before!

As a result, although there are strong opponents in this Dark Martial Arts Tournament, they are clearly not strong enough! For her, this is not enough to force out her potential; she needs an absolute, life-or-death battle!

"You're all insane!" Offstage, another person also thought, "Who's gone mad?" Yakushiji Ryoko, holding a satellite phone, was barely containing her rage, roaring into the receiver, "Are you ready? Just an hour ago, you were saying the landing force wasn't ready!"

“Yes…but!” Yakushiji Ryoko received a definite answer; the original landing force was indeed not ready. “Wait, the original? The operation plan has been changed?! How come I didn’t know? Are you kidding me! My men and I have been on the island for so long, and you’re only telling me now that the operation plan has been changed?”

"Not even a modification? Inspector Toyama! Are you out of your mind?" Yakushiji Ryoko was almost frantic. She and her men only had a small amount of equipment. Although they had found a shallow area, if they were discovered on such shallow waters, the landing force would definitely be overwhelmed by the demons! Was this courting death?

"Hello!?" Yakushiji Ryoko hung up the phone. Clearly, the high-ranking officers of the Metropolitan Police Department had completely had enough of this guy's violent outburst, especially since Yakushiji Ryoko was a woman. In Japan, only Yakushiji Ryoko's situation was exceptional; otherwise, the only outcome would have been her complete demotion and expulsion from the police force!

"What kind of mess is this! These bureaucrats have gone mad, have the Americans gone mad too?" Yakushiji Ryoko looked at the satellite phone in her hand with annoyance. There was no doubt that this decision could not have been made by a mere superintendent of police; it was clearly a final decision from a higher level.

The right to pull the trigger that was originally in Yakushiji Ryoko's hands was snatched away by the other side, who immediately prepared to launch an attack! What an overbearing act, and what a mad decision...

"Moreover..." Junichiro Izumida hesitated for a moment, "Although we chose this beach, we didn't have time to report it. The people on the island probably only found out about the landing site after arriving in the nearby waters." Because many ships had rushed out, anyone with a brain could guess that some people on the island already knew about the impending attack and were trying to avoid the risk.

Ryoko Yakushiji wasn't surprised at all by this scene. The extent of their collusion with the Japanese government was so deep that calling it two sides of the same coin would be a slight exaggeration! After all, as the daughter of the heiress of Asia's largest police equipment manufacturer, Ryoko Yakushiji knew very well that hosting such a dark martial arts tournament was something many powerful figures coveted! Without their support, not to mention anything else, all those demons on this island...

If these demons and monsters are completely unprepared and just let themselves be slaughtered, then Yakushiji Ryoko will really start to wonder if this hellish place is some kind of staged drama! The other side has already prepared everything, just waiting for them to foolishly walk up and deliver themselves to their doom!

"How's Shinji Ikari doing? Any new information coming in?" Ryoko Yakushiji took a few deep breaths. Without a doubt, whoever had interfered in this damned operation, they had clearly made all the necessary preparations. She just didn't know what they were thinking!

"Not yet." Junichiro Izumida shook his head. He was certain that no communication had come through, because according to the last communication this morning, Junichiro Izumida knew that Shinji Ikari was going to participate in the second match this morning, and Junichiro Izumida had even wished Shinji Ikari a good start! So how could Shinji Ikari possibly have communicated with him?

"So what do we do now?" The special operations team members looked at each other in bewilderment. They had endured hardship and lived in constant fear for a whole day and night, only to have their mission's meaning and value completely erased by a single sentence from their superiors. This left them utterly confused.

“Then let’s proceed according to our operational plan. Natsumi, is that automatic substation you discovered earlier reliable?” Ryoko Yakushiji’s eyes flickered. There was something she didn’t say: she had just had a big argument with Superintendent Toyama, mostly for show. Superintendent Toyama was clearly very angry. Losing control of the mission naturally meant that the Metropolitan Police Department would lose a large share of credit, and the subsequent benefits would be distributed directly according to merit!

So this directly means a loss for the Metropolitan Police Department. As the representative of the Metropolitan Police Department in charge of the command center, how could he be willing to let all of this happen! He had already hinted at everything to her over the phone, and now Yakushiji Ryoko's eyes were flashing as she was listening to every word of the meeting from Superintendent Toyama.

“There aren’t many people inside. If Miyuki hadn’t pulled me back, I probably would have counted them all for you.” Natsumi patted his chest. “So Inspector Yakushiji is planning to start his operation from here?”

“Yes! If we can secure that place, at least we'll have shelter from the wind and rain. Then I'll try to sneak into the hotel and carry out the plan based on the intelligence we've gathered.” Yakushiji Ryoko sighed. “I have to find a way to inform Shinji Ikari… Why doesn’t that guy have a phone?”

"It's probably because satellite phones are too bright."

"Humph!"

Chapter 261 The Infiltrating Human Force

"The winner..." After saying goodbye to her new best friend who had just taken on four opponents, Xiao Tu continued to diligently fulfill her duties as a commentator. However, just as the last match of the day was about to end, an unexpected incident occurred that she had never anticipated!

"Boom!" An explosion suddenly rang out as a missile accurately hit the outer wall of the competition venue. Sunlight streamed into the venue, and everyone stared in horror at the scene before them, for they heard more piercing shrieks tearing through the air, hurtling closer and closer.

A series of explosions erupted nearby, leaving them with shocked expressions. These demons mostly lived in the human world, though primarily in relatively stable and peaceful areas. After all, for these low-level demons, a relatively peaceful human world was, in a sense, a very important factor.

After all, in the dog-eat-dog world of the demon realm, they are at the very bottom of the food chain, living a precarious existence. In the human world, they are relatively well-off thanks to their own abilities, which naturally gives them a sense of superiority.

As for human weapons of war, even if they hadn't seen them themselves, they had basically been exposed to them through the advanced media. But today, they suddenly realized something that made them feel somewhat desperate: these human weapons were now raining down on their heads, with explosions happening constantly in the distance.

"What happened?!" A group of wealthy people stared in shock at the scene before them.

"It's nothing, they just didn't take my advice to wait a few more days, and ultimately launched the attack according to the original plan." Zuo Jing lit a cigarette. "Dude! Looks like you couldn't convince that brat Shinji Ikari."

"Heh!" Toguro sneered. At their level, let alone wavering, even being suspicious was a rare occurrence. Without sufficient confidence, one could never reach their level.

"You..." The group of dignitaries were stunned by what the two people in front of them were saying. Those who were not quite clear-headed were still asking, "What are you doing?" Those who were quick-witted had already rushed to the door with their bodyguards without making a sound.

But when they opened the door, their faces instantly turned as ugly as the unlucky guys running wildly in the venue outside. There was no other reason; the other three members of the Toguro team were leaning against the corridor outside the door, looking like they were there to guard the door for them.

"You!" If you still don't understand this scene, then your brain has really been eaten by zombies. Zuo Jing knew that the military was about to launch an attack on the demons on this island, but he did not warn anyone. He just sent someone to talk to the other side, hoping that the other side would postpone the attack for a few days.

But listening to the rumbling explosions outside, there was no doubt that the other party had completely seen through his request and was simply ignoring him.

"What are you trying to do by blocking our way! We should leave here as soon as possible and get to a safe place!" a powerful figure shouted loudly. Just then, a missile fell outside the window, and the sound of an explosion suddenly rang out. The demons crushed by the fireball of the explosion crashed into the thick glass outside the private room, and the foul-smelling blood spraying from their severed limbs almost stained the entire glass red.

"Oh! Hmm... Although they haven't agreed to cooperate with me, I feel that it's about time for you to leave the stage. Their attack is also about time, so your deaths can be used as an excuse, can't they?" Zuo Jing said casually, sending chills down the spines of all the nobles.

"You dare! You're just..." An elderly man pointed at Zuo Jing, about to say something, when he suddenly felt a chill in his chest. Looking down, he saw a large hole in his chest, and a large amount of blood splattered on the wall behind him. "You actually dare..." He slowly collapsed, slumped onto the floor, his face filled with disbelief.

"Toguro-nii, the action was a little too bloody." Sakyo lit a cigarette, turned around and greeted Toguro-nii behind him. Toguro-nii chuckled and withdrew his gesture, which was similar to Misaka Mikoto's. Then Sakyo turned to the group of people in front of him and raised his cigarette, just like he would when seeing them off at the hotel entrance after a banquet. "Gentlemen... take care!"

"Ah..." Blood splattered, scalding blood splashed onto the bulletproof glass that was already stained red with demon blood (as well as other colors). With the power of the four members of the Toguro team, almost in a very short time, all the nobles who had organized this dark martial arts tournament and their bodyguards lay on the ground and became corpses.

"Crow." Toguro looked back at his teammate, Crow, who nodded and pointed. A huge explosion occurred in the corner of the private room. The thick bulletproof glass was blown away, and the already mangled corpses were completely obliterated. Although the method was a bit crude, there was no doubt that, combined with the human attack, no one could say that the deaths were not caused by the human attack.

The five then swaggered through the VIP room door and headed towards their designated escape route, preparing to go underground and reach the laboratory.

"What's going on..." Meanwhile, on the arena, Little Rabbit was crouching below the ring, watching in terror as various building ruins kept falling from above. Continuous explosions were creating more and more broken bricks and tiles that crashed to the ground.

"You idiot, didn't I tell you to run towards the hotel if anything happens!" A figure suddenly appeared and blocked her way.

"Wow! Mei!" Little Rabbit excitedly hugged Isayama Mei. She was so touched. Isayama Mei, who was still in bandages, actually came to find her? The whole venue was in complete chaos. Everyone was running for their lives, but someone was still thinking of her!

"Hey, you helped me out just now, how can I not come to my rescue now!" Isayama Mei tossed the little rabbit over his shoulder and then slapped its round bottom hard. "Now we have to rush out! The situation outside is not so simple."

"Huh?! Ah!" Usagi had just cried out in surprise after being spanked, then seemed taken aback by what Mei Isayama said. She immediately felt the ground rapidly receding and the arena shrinking quickly, but Usagi blurted out, "The escape route is over here..."

"Going that way is a death sentence!" Mei Isayama scoffed. Although he and Shinji Ikari were speechless, the enemy didn't follow the expected pattern at all and didn't warn them before launching the attack. Shinji and the others only found out about the attack when they saw the air-to-ground missiles falling from the sky. It was absolutely deadly.

"Why..." Little Rabbit was still asking when she understood. A large number of helicopters were unloading soldiers from a distance, and these soldiers in black armor were rushing toward the venue, entertainment center, and hotel.

One large squad of soldiers has now blocked all the passageways in the entire competition venue and is frantically spraying high-temperature flames into all the passageways with flamethrowers. The agonizing screams echo throughout the passageways. Without a doubt, this way of dying is more painful than being shot.

There were also many soldiers armed with general-purpose machine guns, who were firing at the demons that were falling from the second and third floors. The screams were deafening. More demons were trapped inside the stadium and could not get out. They could only continue to endure the missile bombardment from the sky.

"Ah! You damned humans..." Under such a situation of being slaughtered by the unique sect, some demons naturally began to fight back fiercely. After all, among so many demons, there were still quite a few who were relatively strong. In addition, there were some contestants watching the battle and gathering information about their opponents.

Led by these guys, many of the Babem family's private soldiers, clad in light armor, were wiped out in an instant. A large group of demons followed them out, but the moment they rushed out, they were shocked to see that the humans were ready. In addition to the soldiers, also clad in black armor, who had already formed a formation in front and immediately began to attack them with fierce firepower, some transported robots also fell from CH47 Chinooks. These AL97 Atlas-type mechs were equipment of the Ground Self-Defense Force.

"Clearance to fire!" With a command from the officers in the rear command post, over a dozen jets of fire swept out, licking at all the figures moving on the opposite side. Caught off guard, these powerful demons were swept away by the 6-barreled 20mm Gatling gun (which appeared in the old OVA of the Mobile Police, during the scene where the Ground Self-Defense Force entered Tokyo, where it set a police car on fire as a sacrifice). In the smoke and dust kicked up by these armor-piercing shells hitting the ground, large patches of blood quickly appeared. Rockets and anti-tank missiles also plunged into the smoke and dust, blasting these demons who tried to retaliate to pieces.

The armored vehicles that arrived later quickly joined the battle with their small-caliber machine guns. Under such intense firepower, most of the demons were swept down like grass. Even though a few powerful demons could withstand such firepower, they knew that humans could land on the island at any time, and the attack helicopters firing at the venue could turn their guns on them at any moment. So after they rushed out, they turned around and began to flee.

"...This is so cruel..." The little rabbit in mid-air watched the scene below in shock. She watched in horror as humans frantically slaughtered these ordinary demons. Amidst the constant explosions and screeching sounds, a massive number of demons were being washed away in blood.

"If the Mountain God Festival was a frenzied revenge by a group of madmen against all the evil deeds committed by demons, then this place is the eruption of the long-standing resentment of humans being tortured and devoured by demons." Isayama Mei looked down with cold eyes and said indifferently. It was nothing for the army to block the gate and kill these ordinary demons. The big boss above was obviously very dissatisfied with the restless demons and monsters after the Mountain God Festival, so he launched such a purge.

It's obvious they want these guys to understand that while some small countries in the Southern Hemisphere may indeed be controlled by demons, here, humans have the final say!

"But...but..." Little Rabbit naturally understood what Mei Isayama was talking about. Since demons follow the law of the jungle, then when humans are strong, they can naturally slaughter demons. According to the logic that the strong are respected and the weak are at the mercy of others, there is no problem. However, Little Rabbit was still a little unconvinced. Humans' sudden attacks easily began to harvest lives on a large scale.

"But isn't it unethical for humans to launch a sneak attack like this?" Mei Isayama shook his head. "I think you should also know that nighttime is the active period for demons. Many demons like to attack and devour humans at night. Not to mention anything else, hmph, didn't that hotel you stayed at have that damned hidden menu? Little Rabbit, this is a war to the death."

As they spoke, Mei Isayama and his group had already moved away from the competition venue and arrived at a small pier not far from the hotel. Strangely, some competitors and some humans had gathered there, clearly preparing to escape from the island that was turning into a battlefield.

"So everyone's here now?" Yusuke Urameshi glanced at Mei Isayama. He wasn't prepared for this sudden turn of events. He was only informed of the incident at the very beginning of the explosion and was brought here by the Onmyōryō (Yokai Bureau). On the way, he also called some new friends he had made during the competition, both human and demon.

"Why do you think you can leave... Urameshi Yusuke!" A tall, muscular figure appeared not far away—none other than Toguro's younger brother, the victor of the previous Dark Tournament! "Perfect timing, the commentator's here too! Let's start the semi-finals early!"

"Are you crazy? You still want to fight under these circumstances?" Huanhai looked at the most familiar stranger in front of him, his expression extremely complicated. "Once the fighting starts, the army could come at any time!"

"Hey!" Toguro-nii didn't answer, but instead threw two punches. The terrifying force of the punches caused huge dents in the cruise ships behind them, followed by a slow-motion disintegration of the lower sections of the hulls. Seawater rushed in, and the ships were on the verge of capsizing and sinking on the dock. "Do you think... you have the right to refuse? As for the army, they're busy killing those worthless demons." Toguro-nii grinned maliciously, delivering the most direct threat.

A group of people on the dock glared at Toguro-nii and the men behind him with gritted teeth.

"..." Yusuke Urameshi looked back at his friends. Kurama nodded to Yusuke, Hiei had a "I really can't do anything with you" look on his face, Kuwazumi was excited, and Genkai sighed and got into a fighting stance. Clearly, she had decided to take the first match herself!

"Little one, say 'start'."

"Eh? Eh! Well then, let's have the semi-final! Team Toguro vs. Team Urameshi Yusuke! Begin!"

Chapter 262 Urameshi VS Toguro's Younger Brother

"So Toguro's brother really has arrived? It seems there's not much time left." Shinji Ikari, who had already moved to a cargo ship on the coast, watched as Asuka took his battle suit from him and began to take off his clothes in front of her.

"Hey, tone it down a bit!" Asuka immediately turned around, her face flushed. "Don't you know what shame is?"

"Huh? Our previous maintenance room was only separated by a curtain. Shinji Ikari was only wearing his underwear, and we even went swimming together. I wasn't completely naked, so you should have seen... Pfft!" Shinji Ikari teased Asuka, who then kicked him into the LCL where Unit-01 was lying.

"Pervert! Pervert! I'm going to tell Ryoko! You idiot Shinji!" Asuka cursed wildly by the platform, her anger genuine.

"That's too much!" Shinji Ikari, who was inside the LCL liquid, splashed Asuka with LCL liquid, making Asuka so angry that she jumped up and down on the railing, but Shinji below was completely helpless.

“Ah, the days of youth.” Misato Katsuragi rested her chin on her hand, watching the scene from a distance with a smile on her face. After all, it was rare to see Shinji Ikari get his comeuppance. This little brat had acted like a grown man from the very beginning, and rarely did he react like a teenager. This made Misato Katsuragi and Ritsuko Akagi, who was tilting her head to look, feel quite novel.

"Shinji! You should thank Asuka. She helped you pilot Unit-01 onto the barge." Ritsuko Akagi said with a grin. She had already received the new toy that Shinji had asked someone to bring out. Although it was just a little bit of extract, Ritsuko Akagi really hadn't expected something as magical as the "Fruit of Time."

On the night the match ended, Shinji Ikari went to find Kurama, and the two of them sneaked into the room of the Mado family. While Shinji was still rummaging through drawers and cabinets, Kurama had already found the things that the Mado family had hidden. Sure enough, in front of a master thief like Kurama, this crude method of hiding was as conspicuous as putting a label on a table.

Then, Kurama used a very professional method to share the Time Fruit extract with Shinji Ikari. Both of them felt that this petty theft had been quite fruitful. After asking Shinji Ikari to give his school baseball team some face, Shinji Ikari said no problem, as it was about time for him to retire from the game. After all, the difficulty of his training had become increasingly higher, and naturally, he needed more and more time.

These past two days, Ritsuko Akagi hasn't started researching this thing yet. After all, Shinji put up a sign on it saying, "High risk! If you mess around, I'll just have to raise you like a daughter!" Ritsuko Akagi just laughed it off when she was teased. However, the content of Shinji's warning really piqued her interest, and she's recently started having the engineering department modify some specialized equipment.

After all, they had all witnessed Shinji Ikari transform into that mysterious armored warrior wielding an energy blade, and everyone was extremely shocked by it. Among them, the most shocked was Ritsuko Akagi, whose research had begun to expand in scope.

As for the small bottle that Shinji Ikari had sent to Ryuji Danma's car dealership, Ritsuko Akagi basically felt there was no need to ask what it was. The remaining question was whether she could figure out its secrets.

"Really? Thanks!" Shinji Ikari, who had jumped onto the insertion plug on the back of Unit-01, waved to Asuka. Asuka spat in annoyance, turned her head away from Shinji, and was then splashed with LCL liquid that Shinji flung up at her! "You just wait!" Asuka pounded on the railing and roared angrily. At that moment, Shinji Ikari jumped into the insertion plug with a series of smiles.

"How's the data?" Ritsuko Akagi looked at the equipment in front of her. She was only monitoring the key data. More detailed data analysis could only be seen on the computers at NERV headquarters.

"All data tests have passed, and some data are even better than before..." Maya Ibuki said with some surprise. All the data has been compiled, and Shinji Ikari passed all the testing procedures almost instantly.

“Now, we’ll just wait for the ship to dock.” Misato Katsuragi glanced at her watch. “Shinji has twenty minutes left, and you have about five minutes to fight. Can you handle that?”

"Tell me about the situation on the island first. After all, I just heard that when Mei Isayama and Urameshi tried to evacuate, they were stopped by Toguro's younger brother." Shinji Ikari said this, but he wasn't actually that worried. After all, Mei Isayama might not be able to beat Toguro's younger brother, but... if he really annoyed his older sister... the terrifying demon would show them what the Himuro family's exclusive fighting style was all about, a complete thrashing.

However, the current situation is somewhat different from what Shinji Ikari imagined. Because Toguro has hijacked the ship and claims to have prevented the spread of bombs, no one has the courage to sail away yet. For the time being, they can only follow their demands and conduct what is called a semi-final match.

"The human army has already stormed the island, and the demons have not put up any effective resistance." Little Yama stood next to Zuo Jing, seemingly trying to persuade him, "No matter what you want to do, you have already failed. Open the road and let them board the ship and leave."

"Attacked the island? Yes, the human army did indeed land on the island, but whether they are demons or monsters, they all have trump cards yet to be revealed. I'm very curious, who will ultimately clean up the battlefield? Or will it be a US Navy submarine that simply launches a nuclear missile?"

"Since you know the determination that humanity has made, aren't you afraid of death?" Little Yama looked at Zuo Jing with a strange expression. Zuo Jing was still speaking so casually. Little Yama found it hard to believe. After all, it was with the terrifying power of these firearms that humanity had managed to withstand the attacks of demons with various abilities and still keep the human world firmly under human control. Not to mention that Zuo Jing was just an ordinary human who would die if shot.

"What I want is an entire era! And now, the gates of this era have opened a crack, revealing to me a glimpse of its scenery." Zuo Jing exhaled a puff of smoke, a smile playing on his lips. Undoubtedly, today's scene had deeply moved him. He had been to those places in the south—yes, those places filled with screams of terror, those chaotic scenes teeming with carnage.

In those places that were still called "countries," the towns where humans were dominant hunted and killed demons everywhere, while the cities where demons were powerful treated humans as livestock. It was in such chaotic places that people like him had the opportunity to truly enter the ruling class of the country!

"Is this the kind of chaos you want?" Little Yama immediately grasped the meaning behind Zuo Jing's words. "So, what you want is a world that connects to the Demon Realm, a world that you theoretically think should be chaotic and disorderly, right? I didn't expect you to be such a boring person."

"Oh? Is there anything you can tell me?" Zuo Jing naturally knew that the Spirit Realm had sealed most of the Demon Realm passages. Although there were some smaller passages, many had been forcibly closed or sealed recently due to the activities of some human organizations, and the Spirit Realm had been involved in many of these actions.

"It's not what you imagine. The real Demon Realm isn't a completely chaotic country like in South America. In the Demon Realm, there are clear concepts of nations and territories, and the strictness of its rule is far more bloody and brutal than you think." Little Yama shook his head. Another fool who thought the Demon Realm was a good place just because he hadn't seen it. "You can ask those unlucky guys who smuggled themselves over from the Demon Realm how many people Huang Quan kills each year who threatened him or failed to meet his demands."

But that wasn't the end of it. Little Yama delivered the final blow, "I believe you already know that although Toguro's brother is very strong, even A-rank demons cannot pass through the barrier set up by the Spirit World. In other words..."

"..." Zuo Jing fell silent. In other words, although Toguro's brother was invincible and powerful in the human world, in that world he might just be a skilled fighter, not invincible at all. He might be able to stir up trouble, but...

"Thump..." Yusuke Urameshi crashed hard into a capsized cruise ship, his entire body caved into the hull, and he spat out a mouthful of blood. Kurama, Hiei, and Kuwazono, who were standing nearby, were also kneeling on the ground, their faces filled with disbelief. A little further away, Genkai, whose face was half young and half old, lay on the ground, his life hanging in the balance.

"If you're not strong enough, keep getting stronger. If they're stronger, then become stronger than them." Toguro's voice came from not far away. Toguro had two or three scorch marks on his body. "I have to admit, these guys are indeed stronger than I imagined. I've used 100% of my power. Congratulations! But if no one can defeat me today, you will all die here."

Although Kurama, Hiei, and Sangen managed to defeat Toguro's three brothers—Toguro-nii, Karasu, and Takei—after exhausting all their methods, their attacks only caused Toguro-nii a little trouble when facing him directly; they were far from enough to seriously injure him.

"Hmph... I don't want to say this, but could you do me a favor, Shinji Ikari's sister?" Koenma clasped his hands together and looked at Himuro Kirie in front of him. Originally, Shinji Ikari planned to have his teammates leave with him on the speedboat, but Himuro Mimori wanted to watch the game more, so Himuro Kirie said that they could stay as well (Isayama Mei and Yusa Emi looked at each other but did not express their opinions).

"..." Himuro Kirie slightly turned her head to look at the little Yama in front of her, seemingly considering whether to refuse. After all, whether the little Yama was handsome or not had nothing to do with her, Himuro Kirie. He wasn't her younger brother or sister, so why should she make a move?

“Toguro’s brother… actually has made great contributions, he shouldn’t…” Koenma smiled bitterly and pleaded with Himuro Kirie, wanting Himuro Kirie to help him, preferably to wake up Toguro’s brother.

“How foolish…” Huanhai struggled to turn to the side. She looked at the face in front of her that was the same as it had been decades ago. Her eyes were filled with anger and a bit of helplessness. Although she had not yet handed over the Spirit Jade, her old body, even with the temporary restoration of her youth, was completely unable to compete with Toguro’s brother in front of her.

"So, you're the strongest person right now?" Toguro's younger brother charged towards Himuro Kirie. He recognized the young Enma, and since he was willing to lower himself to beg for help, Himuro Kirie was clearly a truly powerful individual. He longed for a goal, he yearned to become even stronger, and the worst part was... there were very few people among humanity qualified to be his goal! Too few!

Gojo Satoru, who could have been his target, had already used his magic to escape with his students the moment the human army launched its attack.
