I'm a demon in Tokyo!

Chapter 306 [Demon Incarnation: Hundred-Eyed Demon]! Hero and Demon King, Half-Step Demon God: Minamoto no Shizumi!

A moment later, the sword intent belonging to Yuan Xinshui dissipated.

Only a remnant resembling a TV remote control remained in the cracks of the ring steps.

The sword intent comes quickly and goes quickly.

Almost everyone present was confused about what was happening.

—What this sword intent did was simply to come here on behalf of Yuan Xinshui, who was far away and might not be able to make it in time, and to offer a silent word of encouragement.

That's it.

Hotaru, who had been silently consuming Minamoto no Shizuku, found that he could no longer swallow anything.

The disintegration of Yuan Jingshui's soul, which should have gradually turned into nothingness, stopped.

Then, Hotarumaru could clearly feel that the will of "Minamoto no Shizui" had begun to grow wildly again, re-aggregating at a speed many times faster than before.

Once again, they rushed towards the Sea of ​​Calamity.

Forced to reluctantly vomit out the indigestible portion of Minamoto no Shizumizu's soul, Hotaru could not comprehend it.

The already shattered soul and will can actually recover and heal, and even launch another attack on the ghosts and gods?

That greatest "calamity," the calamity that destroyed Yuan Jingshui, vanished without a trace.

This is the first time in thousands of years.

—Could it be because of the arrival of that sword intent that fell outside the shield and was extinguished in an instant, which could neither help nor do anything?

Impossible, absolutely impossible.

—What is the greatest "calamity" for Yuan Jingshui?

Perhaps she herself doesn't know, or perhaps she knows but is absolutely unwilling to admit it.

Actually, the answer is quite simple—

It came from the only "Keep going" that Yuanxinshui had ever said to her when she was a child, the only word of encouragement.

It was the only ray of light that illuminated Yuan Xinshui's "insignificant" life when everyone's attention was focused on her.

Therefore, everything that Yuan Jingshui did afterward, all the hardships he experienced, all the efforts he made, and all the pain he endured were all part of his life.

Everything I did was to gain my elder sister's approval.

In order to gain encouragement from the source of the heart water.

And now, she heard it.

"Is this okay?!"

Uesugi Tetsuya was speechless.

The willpower and vitality of this still water source are too tenacious; even with one foot in the grave, it can still pull itself back.

He glanced at the broken remote control next to the ring and suddenly didn't know what to say.

What a brilliant move, a celestial being descending from the heavens!
Girl, you're cheating too!

He originally wanted to respect the other person's last moments, but this unexpected turn of events occurred.

At a crucial moment, a family member shouting "Go for it!" can stop a predetermined death and allow the protagonist to break through again. What kind of classic shonen manga protagonist is this...?

Whatever.

If Minamoto no Shizumi is a passionate and righteous hero who can break through his own limits and save the world, then only Uesugi Tetsu can be the demon king who shatters dreams.

Because reality is not a story.

Heroes who charge forward shouting about vague notions like bonds, passion, and willpower will only be defeated by a demon king who has prepared a hundred backup plans and contingency strategies.

There's no reason for the Demon King to lose.

It's impossible for us to lose.

Sensing the rising energy of the still water, Uesugi Tetsuya, who was prepared, opened the Edo Castle gacha pool.

In an instant, the Hundred-Eyed Demon loli in the gacha pool felt his gaze.

Those scarlet eyes, like rubies, lifted up, as if sensing something.

Then Hyakume laughed.

Her smile was subtle, yet captivating.

I am here.

"Luckily you're here."

Uesugi Tetsuya smiled at her and clicked "Retrieve ten times" without any hesitation.

Let's start the final 10-pull of the Edo Castle gacha banner!
As 1,500 Soul Ash points were consumed, the semi-transparent Edo Castle began to tremble slightly.

But the next moment, the Hundred-Eyed Demon Loli raised her hand.

All the tedious, time-wasting gacha animations were thus stopped, and she herself floated up quickly under the relieved gaze of Uesugi Tetsuya.

As Hyakume flew toward the black sky, nine beams of light from the pile of treasures floated out behind her.

Among the nine beams of light, most were purple in varying shades, with the worst being a very deep blue.

What the hell!

Beneath the red Hannya mask, Uesugi Tetsu's expression changed drastically.

If we weren't sisters, would we do this?!

This is truly a good brother... He not only packed himself up and delivered himself to us, but also gave us a dowry worth far more than the "bride price"!
What kind of sci-fi movie is this?!

Hyakume and the nine beams of light behind her vanished into the deep space in the blink of an eye.

After Hyakume disappeared, the once "lively" Edo Castle began to collapse, and the pile of bones and the throne that she had built out of boredom began to shake.

Everything began to fall, sinking into an extremely thick darkness.

Even though the ground below and the sky were both equally dark, the darkness underground made Uesugi Tetsuya feel like he was being pricked by thorns. Just looking at it from an unknown distance, he could feel waves of chills.

Edo Castle...

A thoughtful look appeared in Uesugi Tetsu's eyes, but he quickly put it out of his mind.

That's not the focus right now.

Uesugi Tetsu looked up.

Then, a barrage of notifications appeared before my eyes, like a raging tsunami.

He simply ignored all the irrelevant prompts and placed them in his to-do list.

With the breakthrough to the level of a demon god right before his eyes, there was no time to look at these superfluous hints!
[You have obtained a new demon incarnation: Hyakume-ki!!!]

【…】

The Hyakume-ki incarnation card, which only he could see, had materialized and fallen into Uesugi Tetsu's dantian.

The pure black card was floating in mid-air, with scarlet agate embellishments like silk threads wrapped around the card surface, enveloping the naked Hyakume lying inside.

As Uesugi Tetsu's gaze fell upon him, the attributes of the Hundred-Eyed Demon incarnation immediately became clear.

[Demon Incarnation: Hundred-Eyed Demon]

[Physical Strength: +10]

[Willpower: +85]

[Charm: +15]

[Spiritual Arts: +10]

【Quality: Epic+】

[Rank: 3.5 stars]

[Rank Cap: Four and a Half Stars]

[Talent: A Hundred Eyes for You: The Eye of All-Seeing, the Eye of Thought, the Eye of Evil Vision, the Eye of Truth]

This time, the attributes boosted by transforming into the Hundred-Eyed Demon have also been clearly listed...

The attribute panel is very simple, directly stating that Hyakume-ki is a demon incarnation whose main attribute is willpower.

Moreover, the one you draw is a three-and-a-half-star!
It directly surpasses Samsung's Red Hannya and the Four-Tailed Fox, which is about to be upgraded to Samsung.

They came from behind and surpassed everyone else!

To this, Uesugi Tetsuya only had one thing to say—

As expected of you!

It was worth feeding the Hundred-Eyed Demon a mountain of huge eyeballs!
Next, we will discuss Hyakume's five talents.

Uesugi Tetsu intended to skim through them to get a general idea, but his gaze stopped when he saw the first talent.

【A Hundred Eyes for You: Due to the "Gift of the Hundred-Eyed Demon", when you transform into the Hundred-Eyed Demon, you will directly receive 100 "Eyes of the Hundred-Eyed Demon" without having to search for eyeballs.

When you choose to transform into other demonic forms, you can also stack the Demonic Form: Hundred-Eyed Demon and fully acquire all talents, but the attribute increase will be reduced by 50%.

"—You give me a hundred eyes, and I give you a hundred eyes." This was the first time he had ever seen an introduction to a talent.

The moment he saw this talent, Uesugi Tetsu felt as if someone was gently and tenderly embracing him from behind.

He didn't look back.

The gift of the Hundred-Eyed Demon... A hundred eyes for you...

Uesugi Tetsu's thoughts flashed back to that seemingly perpetually bored little face, and the resolute expression she had shown just moments before.

I will never waste this gift.

【All-Seeing Eye: Your dynamic vision and visual precision are greatly improved, your spiritual vision is greatly enhanced, and your field of vision is expanded to a space with a diameter of 100 meters centered on yourself.

At the same time, it can independently control 0-100 "Hundred-Eyed Demon Eyes" to open.

The more pupils open, the greater the improvement in dynamic vision, visual acuity, sharpness, and the range of vision.

[Note 1: The higher your "Willpower" and "Mindset," the stronger your ability to withstand the "Eyes of the Hundred-Eyed Demon."]

[Note 2: The more of the Hundred-Eyed Demon's eyes are open, the greater the load on the pupils. Opening fewer than 30 pupils simultaneously results in no load, while opening 80 or more pupils constitutes a high load.]

[Note 3: The effect of the Eye of Interpretation has been greatly improved.]

[Note 4: Consuming qualified demonic eyeballs can increase the strength of the Hundred-Eyed Demon Eye.]

[Psychic Eye: Generates psychic power one-tenth of the current "Willpower" attribute strength, and the strength of the psychic power will be greatly increased within the range covered by "All-Seeing Eye".]

[Note: Using this talent will impose a burden on "Hundred-Eyed Demon's Eye".]

[Evil Gaze: When the "Hundred-Eyed Demon's Eye" is used to continuously gaze at a target, the target will be affected by a curse. The longer the "total time" of the Hundred-Eyed Demon's Eye gaze, the stronger the curse will be.]

[Note: You can choose to toggle this talent on or off.]

[The Eye of True Sight: Compared to before, you seem to be able to see something different.]

Use the all-seeing eye to collect and master information.

It's a completely transparent world, with the entire map displayed.

The Eye of Mind can, based on the user's thoughts, exert an effect of mastering information with a percentage of several thousandths of its original value.

The Evil Eye completes the part about curses that Uesugi Tetsu completely failed to understand.

There's no need for complicated learning from the beginner level, nor is there a need to be extremely careful when casting spells for fear of provoking other terrifying beings and suffering backlash.

There's no need to become proficient in Yin-Yang principles, astronomy, or even knowledge about the calendar...

curse?

Very simple.

—Simply open the Hundred-Eyed Demon's Eyes and "look" at others.

One, ten, or even a hundred or a thousand can all curse at the same time!
Isn't this a thousand times better than voodoo dolls, talismans, or shamanic rituals?
The Eye of True Sight... its depth cannot be discerned for the time being, based on the riddle teller's explanation.

Is it probably a support talent?
In short, it's not very useful now.

In the terrifying speed at which his thoughts were operating under the limit, Uesugi Tetsu instantly understood the core of the Hundred-Eyed Demon incarnation and how to use it.

In short, it is centered around the "Hundred-Eyed Demon's Eyes," combined with terrifying information gathering abilities, almost omnipotent telekinesis, and a highly concealed and aggressive curse.

What supports the fighting power of the Hyakume-ki incarnation is, firstly, its willpower and state of mind.

Fortunately, my willpower is decent.

Although his mental state had not reached the stage of "Sword Heart Clarity," he had been baptized by the branches of the Myriad Manifestations and was considered one of the most outstanding among those with Sword Heart.

Second, there is the Eye of the Hundred-Eyed Demon.

—All of the talents of the Hyakume incarnation are fundamentally based on the "Hyakume Eyes".

Otherwise, no matter how high the attributes are, even a skilled cook cannot make a meal without rice.

Uesugi Tetsu lowered his gaze, staring at the single sentence in the avatar's introduction.

—I am here, I have always been here.

A hundred eyes, a gift indeed.

Finally, Uesugi Tetsu calculated his attribute panel if he added the Hundred-Eyed Demon incarnation.

[Uesugi Tetsu (Four-Tailed Fox Incarnation + Hannya Mask: Red + Lin Technique + Hundred-Eyed Demon Incarnation)]

Physical Strength: 196 + 5 = 201

[Willpower: 126 + 42 = 168]

[Charm: -2+7=5]

[Spiritual Technique: 131 + 5 = 136]

Despite his severe injuries and the presence of countless onlookers, the physical strength and willpower bestowed upon him by the innate talent of the Red Prajna have reached a terrifying level.

The 60 attribute points provided by the Hyakume incarnation elevate Uesugi Tetsu's already extremely high stats to a new level that ordinary three-and-a-half-star characters simply cannot reach.

If the Great Master were to stand before him now, Uesugi Tetsu would probably kneel down willingly without him even lifting a finger.

In less than a second, Uesugi Tetsuya closed all the prompts and panels in front of him.

Uesugi Tetsuya silently stared at Minamoto Shizumi, whose consciousness was gradually returning. He frowned slightly after sensing a powerful yet strange aura emanating from her.

spirits?

No, it's not ghosts or gods.

Although it resembles the aura of demons and gods, it is similar to when he directly transforms into the Red Prajna.

They are fundamentally different and are ultimately not true ghosts or gods.

So... does that mean he's "half-step into a god"?
However, there is no such thing as a half-step ghost or god, whether in the present world or the mortal world.

The path to becoming a god or a demon is one of either success or death.

It's either rebirth or destruction.

There is no middle option between the two ends.

But Minamoto Shizumi's actions...

Forget it, it doesn’t matter.

It's best to strike first.

Uesugi Tetsu interrupted his meaningless thoughts and murmured to himself.

—A series of incarnations, the Hundred-Eyed Demon.

"I am here."

That familiar, hallucinatory response rang in Uesugi Tetsuya's ears.

He closed his eyes, then opened them again.

Select the number of Hundred-Eyed Demon Eyes to open: All.

And so a new world blossomed before Uesugi Tetsu's "eyes".

As a result, all the ghosts and spirits turned their gazes and focused their attention on Uesugi Tetsuya.

Uesugi Tetsu's appearance remained unchanged beneath his thousand-faced disguise.

—It was only because, in the instant he opened all the Hundred-Eyed Demon Eyes, Uesugi Tetsu lost control of his gaze and saw the entire Sky City.

But with just this one move, Uesugi Tetsuya compressed his "field of vision" back into the arena.

Therefore, the accuracy of the line of sight is increased exponentially.

Just like a second ago, Uesugi Tetsuya maintained his silent stare.

But he can see every wisp of spiritual energy, qi, and air, and grasp all their movements from this moment onward.

Every tremor of the still water's texture was clearly visible.

Even the faint, subtle ripples where Genjiro had teleported before were clearly visible to Uesugi Tetsuya.

A full hundred eyes of the Hundred-Eyed Demon opened, and all their gazes fell upon Minamoto no Shizuku.

The curse begins, timer starts.

Yuan Jingshui, who had been keeping his eyes half-open, suddenly looked up, his almost godlike aura piercing the sky like a sword, and met the gaze of Uesugi Tetsuya, whose eyes were deep and unfathomable.

Uesugi Tetsuya, who had originally wanted to manipulate telekinesis, withdrew his thoughts and casually exhaled.

Forget it.

In such a short time, I still can't figure this thing out.

In short, let's put all the pressure on Minamoto Shizumizu.

The next moment.

The smooth, mirror-like black sword light, like silk threads, cascaded into the sky, enveloping Uesugi Tetsuya.

An aura capable of easily crushing a dozen or so great demons surged forth and landed precisely on Yuan Jingshui.
