Chapter 373 How can we not go in and take a look?
As it turns out, Yuri Mariya's spiritual vision was indeed very powerful, and it was worth Aize's deliberate effort to bring her under his command.

She had only stood outside Sunlight City for a few moments when her psychic vision immediately reacted and told Aize something.

"When the sun rises again from the east, the stone monkey will leap into the sky, and the rebellious god will officially return and wreak havoc on the world."

In other words, Sun Wukong will be born no later than tomorrow.

However, leisurely waiting for tomorrow to arrive is not an option.

Because Yuri Mariya also saw that when night fell, the overflowing magical power of the Monkey God would rise to its peak, like a divine sword undergoing its final cooling process during forging, bursting forth under the cold invasion of the night.

At that time, the blockade of Nikko City will be breached, and Nikko City will be completely transformed into a primitive environment. The entire island nation will gradually fall into the hands of the enemy, and eventually everyone will turn into monkeys. If nothing unexpected happens, they will never be able to recover.

"It seems we've given Him too much time to accumulate power."

Aize realized this.

In the original story, when the rebellious Sun Wukong appeared in the world, it didn't have such a big impact.

But now, even before His birth, He has already brought about such a great influence, which shows just how much power He has accumulated in order to defeat Himself.

This shouldn't have been something that could be done easily, but Sun Wukong was in the Netherworld, where the importance of the spirit far outweighed that of the body. The realm of life and immortality was also much closer to the immortal realm of the gods than to the present world. In addition, this monkey himself was a special steel sword god, so he was able to do such a thing, right?
“What didn’t happen in the original story might happen here, and I should take that as a warning.”

With that in mind, Aize made a decision.

"Let's go in and have a look."

Thus, the group crossed the defenses established by the official history compilation committee and entered Nikko City.

During this process, no one stood up to stop Aize and the others, which meant that they had obviously been instructed beforehand.

The four of them then followed the national highway toward the direction of Sunlight Mountain.

Once we got here, it was no longer possible to drive.

Because the citizens of Nikko City have all turned into monkeys, the streets are full of vehicles. Some have overturned, some are still in the state of having collided with each other, and some have even driven into the buildings on both sides of the street, making the whole street a mess with obstacles everywhere, making it impossible for vehicles to pass.

One can imagine that the owners of these vehicles must have suddenly turned into monkeys while driving to create such a scene.

These monkeys, which were transformed from citizens and tourists, now acted like real animals. Some climbed onto buildings, some played with each other, some snatched food from the supermarket, and some were munching on a bunch of bananas. It looked extremely chaotic.

If someone were to appear in such a place, these monkeys might suddenly come and attack them.

Don't assume monkeys are easy to get along with; they can be much more mischievous than you might imagine.

Seeing this densely packed troop of monkeys, Aize couldn't help but recall his college days when he and his roommates climbed Mount Emei.

At that time, he encountered a group of monkeys. Not only was his backpack stolen, but his jacket that he had taken off was also taken, and he was even slapped by one of the monkeys...

Thinking of this shameful past, the man's gaze towards the monkeys turned hostile.

"Never mind, they weren't originally monkeys, they were transformed humans..."

Aize tried to convince himself, but found that the more he thought about it, the angrier he became.

To avoid taking his anger out on the monkeys that these people had turned into, and also to speed up their journey, Aize simply unleashed the power of the Blood Scythe of Domination, manipulated gravity, and sent the four of them flying into the air towards Sunlight Mountain.

Soon, the group of four arrived at the foot of Nikko Mountain. Looking at Nikko Mountain now, they all doubted their own eyes.

"Is this...is this still Nikko Mountain?"

Yuri Mariya looked completely taken aback.

"Is this definitely not some divine realm?"

"It's completely different from what I knew about Nikko Mountain!"

Erica and Liliana also expressed their opinions.

What was once a beautiful mountain with a trail for worship, Sunrise Mountain, has now been completely transformed into a primeval forest.

The trees, which I had never seen before, were growing wildly, and the landscape had changed dramatically. The flowers, grasses and trees were growing wildly, and countless dark shadows were moving around in them. It was no longer the Sunshine Mountain it used to be.

However, although it has been transformed into a primeval forest, the mountain does not appear desolate at all.

Its imposing presence commands the vast ocean, its tides surge like silver mountains, fish and dragons enter their lair, waves churn like snow, and mist, like a mirage, permeates the surroundings, where one can vaguely see red cliffs, strange rocks, and towering peaks.

Rare herbs and flowers never fade, green pines and cypresses remain evergreen, fresh peaches ripen all over the mountains and forests, and fruits bloom throughout the forests. Coupled with flowing clouds, waterfalls, and towering rivers, it is simply like a fairyland, which is truly amazing.

"It really has turned into Flower Fruit Mountain?"

Aize was also dumbfounded, somewhat surprised, and even secretly excited.

As a true descendant of the Yellow Emperor, how could I not have read "Journey to the West"?

Now, the legendary Flower and Fruit Mountain had actually reappeared before his eyes, the myth had become reality, making Aize almost forget that he was a god-slayer, someone who, like Erlang Shen, had come to subdue the monkey demon. "How can I not go in and take a look?"

Aize had this thought almost instinctively.

However, just as he had this thought, many dark shadows flew in from the Flower and Fruit Mountain that appeared on the ground.

"Jiji!"

"Chi chi chi chi!"

That is undoubtedly the sound of a monkey.

A group of golden-haired monkeys, their bodies almost brownish in color and resembling the appearance of the Monkey God before his seal was lifted, rushed out of Flower Fruit Mountain and landed around Aize and his group.

They were clearly different from ordinary monkeys, their eyes filled with ferocity as they looked at Aize and his group, like a group of wild and untamed demon monkeys.

They also possessed a strong magical power, proving that they were not ordinary monkeys.

"Be careful!" Wanli Gu Yuli exclaimed nervously, "This is a monkey messenger formed from a hair that fell from the Monkey God!"

The term "divine messenger" does not refer to a messenger of God, but rather to a summoned object that is at God's behest and is similar in nature to a magician's familiar.

"Monkeys turned from Sun Wukong's hair?" Aize instinctively shielded Wanli Valley Yuri behind him, looking at the group of ferocious-looking monkeys, and said, "A bunch of monkey offspring really did come?"

This is really... more and more like a myth being reborn.

Although Aize had encountered many gods and demons before, those beings were far removed from his past life. He might know of their existence, but he wouldn't feel much closeness to them.

But now it's different. Whether it's Sun Wukong or Flower Fruit Mountain, they are things he's been familiar with since childhood, and they've completely accompanied him as he grew up.

Now, these things are becoming a reality one by one, to the point that Aize's thinking has gone a bit off track.

"Jiji!"

"Chi chi chi chi!"

The monkey messengers, however, had little to say. After a burst of chattering, they pounced on them.

Upon seeing this, the flames on Aize's body, which had just been imbued with magical power, ignited, and two figures simultaneously darted in front of him.

"Steel Lion, reveal the essence of struggle in my hands—Lionheart, the time for the duel has come!"

The blond knight raised his arm and summoned the immortal magic sword.

"My wings, steel that forms phantom blades—Silver Master, grant me power!"

The silver-haired knight raised his palm and summoned a silver saber.

The Crimson Demon and the Sword Fairy simultaneously summoned their beloved swords, which, like the wings of Azer, leaped out instantly to meet the oncoming troop of monkeys.

"Pfft!" "Pfft!" "Pfft!"...

The two girls coordinated perfectly, sometimes slashing from the left and right, sometimes switching positions to meet the enemy, sometimes spinning back to back, and sometimes thrusting fiercely from front to back. In a sword dance that was truly a feast for the eyes, they actually killed several monkey messengers, who screamed and turned into monkey hair and disappeared.

"As expected, Lily, even if you keep saying you dislike me, the only person who can keep up with my pace, Erica Brantley, and work in perfect harmony with me is still you."

Erica, wielding the Lion King's Heart, slays the monkey messenger while revealing a bold and fearless smile.

"I was just afraid you'd rush in too fast and recklessly plunge into the enemy ranks, only to get hacked to death, so I had no choice but to cooperate with you!"

As Liliana spoke these words, her silver saber slashed past Erica's side, piercing through a monkey messenger that lunged at her back, thus resolving her crisis.

“Let’s leave it at that.” Erica chuckled, then turned to Aize and said, “My king, leave this to us.”

“There is no reason for a mere familiar of a god to trouble the great king to take action.” Liliana and Erica stood back to back and said, “Although it was not my intention, with this female fox and me here, there is no problem. Please go see the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, Your Majesty.”

As they spoke, the two coordinated their sword strikes, one blocking the monkey messenger's attack while the other slashed it in mid-air, turning it into monkey hair.

Although these monkey messengers are not as powerful as divine beasts, they are still demons commanded by the gods and are quite strong. Ordinary magicians are no match for them, not to mention that they have a numerical advantage.

Unfortunately, Erica and Liliana were not ordinary magicians; they were Milan's geniuses, child prodigies in the magic world, and beings of the rank of Grand Knight.

If Erica and Liliana's combat power is a ten, then those monkey messengers are around four to five.

Even with their numerical advantage, Erica and Liliana, working in perfect harmony, were still no match for them.

"Then I'll leave the younger one to you."

Aize nodded, then turned to look at Flower Fruit Mountain again.

"I'll handle the big one."
