I'm a demon in Tokyo!

Chapter 430 An unexpected encounter with the miniature Nanjo; her tiny stomach simply can't hold it all! Fist is power; strength is righteousness.

What you see is what you get, triggers.

In the blink of an eye, all the compound eyes on the heads of the red ants that were lying by the lake, ready to drink a couple of sips of water and leave, disappeared!

The holes on both sides of the head appear as if they were there from the beginning, regular and neat.

If we ignore the large amount of green blood that keeps gushing out of it.

Click, click, click!
The red ants on the lakeside immediately became agitated. Some fled into the bushes, some plunged into the lake, and some even ran to the giant elephant's feet, only to be crushed under its feet.

At the same time, Uesugi Tetsu's level also soared to [lv11], which is already higher than that enormous elephant!

The prompt before him also indicated that Uesugi Tetsuya could be promoted again.

But this is hardly the right time for a promotion.

Two increasingly alluring thousand-eyed eyes flickered slightly, calmly shifting their gaze to the giant elephant that was still drinking water voraciously.

—If this huge thing doesn't die, I might just kill it when I walk by.

The giant elephant itself probably thought it had just passed a speed bump.

Uesugi Tetsu stared intently at the giant elephant for a while, and when he found that the latter still didn't react—

It was confirmed that the person inside this giant elephant was definitely an ordinary player of the Bubble Player game.

Even an ordinary superhuman should have felt his blatant gaze.

Without further thought, I launched the operation based on what I had seen and learned.

—Anyway, playing Bubble Players is pretty much the same as playing a game. Even if the giant elephant's inner self is an ordinary person, Uesugi Tetsu doesn't feel any psychological burden when "eating" eyeballs.

"Why are these tiny ants suddenly running around like crazy?"

The giant elephant that randomly encountered the [Ancient Demon - Elephant Demon] didn't care about such a small detail that couldn't even scratch its skin, and just kept drinking water.

Even at level 1, the elephant demon is enormous, holding a dominant position in this jungle and grassland.

However, the problem that followed was that the experience required to level up was enormous... The giant elephant trampled and carried every big creature it could find before it barely managed to reach level eleven.

The next instant, the giant elephant found that everything in front of it had suddenly turned pitch black.

It wasn't that the sky darkened, but rather that I couldn't see anything for no reason, just like a screen suddenly turning off.

Because the giant elephant is played by reducing all senses to 0% and using only buttons as a pure game, losing eyeballs would only leave the giant elephant itself puzzled.

"Is there a bug?"

The giant elephant thought with some surprise, wondering how even the usually reliable Special Affairs Department could have problems.

However, he didn't criticize it much, after all, it was the first time the Special Affairs Department had "played games".

The giant elephant waited a while longer, and after discovering that the "bug" seemed to have truly not been detected and fixed, it said with slight displeasure,
"Forget it, no more playing."

The giant elephant simply withdrew from the black box.

—From the perspective of Uesugi Tetsuya, who was 500 meters away, everything seemed even more magical.

He first noticed that the giant elephant stood motionless with its eyes empty, and then after patiently waiting for several minutes, the giant elephant suddenly exploded with a "bang".

It turned into a neat pile of materials—square pieces of fresh meat like small houses, neatly arranged thick bones, and a complete pelt.

Uesugi Tetsuya, who was preparing to make his move: ? ? ?
No, what is going on?
Uesugi Tetsuya was completely baffled, but he knew for sure that this was a good thing.

He no longer needs to outwit and outmaneuver the giant elephant; he can simply go over there, collect the inheritance, and happily lick the bag.

Driven by telekinesis, the two eyeballs quickly flew to the pile of bright red flesh and began to extend their blood vessels to absorb nutrients.

Thanks to the giant elephant's selfless sacrifice with its eyes, Uesugi Tetsuya's level instantly broke through to [lv13], and his experience points continued to rise rapidly with the supply of flesh and blood.

Because of the large chunks of flesh, a large number of insects and small animals swarmed into the forest.

Uesugi Tetsuya accepted all the eyeballs offered, and with great frugality, he ate them all without discrimination, leaving not a single one behind.

Because the remaining flesh and blood was so large, and because there was no change of day or night in the ordinary world, Uesugi Tetsu didn't know how much time had passed.

He simply stood still, and he practically captured the eyes of all the living creatures in this jungle and grassland.

Qianjing's level also increased rapidly, and after several promotions, it directly reached [lv29]!
—From two solitary eyeballs, it transformed into a bizarre shape consisting mainly of a large mass of black, viscous liquid, with at least dozens of scarlet pupils constantly rotating on it.

Wriggling, eerie...

There were no human-related factors involved, only the ever-changing black mucus that connected all the pupils, and the Thousand Eyes that had grown to a total of thirty in number.

Although this appearance is enough to make an ordinary person's sanity drop to zero, it has a unique kind of beauty for Uesugi Tetsuya.

The beauty of strength!

If it is to evolve into a human form, it must give up this highly malleable liquefied body and even require the nourishment of two Thousand Eyes.

This is simply incomprehensible!

"So, this is what Qianqing should look like normally?"

As Uesugi Tetsu thought this, he was lifted by his telekinetic powers and arrived in the sky above the jungle grassland.

If you use the All-Seeing Eye to scan the entire area, you'll find that this vibrant region is pitifully small compared to the empty wilderness further out.

Unfortunately, even though his all-seeing eye swept in every direction and found only empty land, he had no choice but to leave.

Because he has almost completely drained the resources of this "oasis".

At present, experience points can hardly be increased anymore.

"Outside the oasis, there are no living beings and almost no spiritual energy... This is even worse than the real world."

Uesugi Tetsu then transformed all the Thousand Eyes into the All-Seeing Eye.

After searching for a long time without finding anything, Uesugi Tetsuya had no choice but to head in the direction where the golden light he had first seen disappeared.

In any case, heading in the direction where there might be more living beings is definitely the right thing to do.

With a surge of psychic power, Uesugi Tetsuya, who had transformed into a black sphere, shot off into the distance.

"However, why haven't any special missions appeared yet?"

Amidst the whooshing sound of air being cut, Uesugi Tetsu brought up a blank quest panel: "Is this some kind of open-world exploration game...?"

After making a casual remark, Uesugi Tetsu didn't pay much attention to it.

It just kept speeding and speeding, and when it encountered other demons on the road, it would swallow their eyes from a distance, and then continue speeding...

After flying for an unknown amount of time, Uesugi Tetsu saw his level slowly rise from [lv29] to [lv37].

"I don't know if it's considered high... Huh?"

At a height of a thousand meters, Uesugi Tetsu slowed his movement, and dozens of Thousand Eyes all looked in the same direction.

The All-Seeing Eye immediately extends the field of vision.

The level indicator, which we haven't seen in a long time... is it moving?

【lv45】

A huge symbol popped out from the head of the burly minotaur wielding a battle axe.

The minotaur, whose level was a full 45, now had bloodshot eyes and was covered in dried blood, looking like it was seriously injured.

Even so, the minotaur was still desperately chasing after something.

What is he chasing?
Uesugi Tetsu narrowed all of his eyes at once.

They discovered the small target the minotaurs were chasing; the little human target also had something similar on its head... [lv5] ? ?
Uesugi Tetsuya's figure suddenly stopped!
Brake hard.

This scene is truly bizarre.

In the modern world, this would be almost equivalent to a half-star severely injuring a three-star, or even a three-and-a-half-star, and still trying to escape from the latter.

As the cautious Uesugi Tetsuya focused his gaze on the face of the tiny human child, his thoughts paused slightly.
"Nanjo...sister?"

"Why is there only such a small one?"

—Nanjo Manami felt the blood slowly flowing from the wounds on the surface of her frail body, and felt the tremors getting closer and closer beneath her feet, knowing that she couldn't run much further.

The spiritual energy in this godforsaken place is far too thin.

Even if she drained everything she passed through, it was to no avail; this meager amount of spiritual power couldn't even heal her physical injuries.

"Is this the end of the publicly funded trip...?"

Nanjo Manami, who was two heads shorter than the average elementary school student, sighed slowly, deciding not to waste any more time on meaningless things.

Before this thought could even take hold, she suddenly heard the minotaur behind her let out a bloodcurdling scream. "Hum—!"

The minotaur, seemingly under some kind of spell, rolled over and collapsed to the ground, foaming at the mouth, appearing to be near death.

As soon as Nanjo Manami stopped and turned around, she saw a large mass of black slime floating in front of her, followed by a dozen or so terrifying scarlet eyes rolling out.

He looked her over with a half-smile.

An extremely rare chill rose from the depths of Nanjo Manami's heart.

She took a half step back, suppressing these pointless emotions, and it took her several seconds to find the corresponding memory.

"...Qianjing?"

How could someone become such a taboo?
What incredible luck!
Why do I have to go through the perspective of a little kid again?
Nanjo Manami did not try to do anything further.

Because she knew that since she had been under the watchful eye of [Thousand Eyes] for some time, there was no way she could escape.

As for resistance...

Do not make jokes.

So she yawned and found a rock to prop up her head.

I lay down.

Uesugi Tetsuya looked at the miniature version; Nanjo Manami, with her chubby little face, was acting like a complete slacker, a stark contrast to her earlier demeanor. He couldn't help but chuckle as she delivered her lines.

"I'll protect you, Nanjo-nee."

He looked with satisfaction at the utterly astonished expression on that small face, a smile playing on his cold eyes.

"Hum..."

laugh!
The minotaur's roar had just resumed when it was completely crushed into a pile of meat patties by the immense psychic power.

This unique experience will likely become an unforgettable memory for the other person as well.

Nanjo Manami gasped and sat up again, her gaze strange.
"Uesugi-kun... how did you turn into this thing?"

"I guess I was lucky." Uesugi Tetsu used his telekinesis to vibrate the air, producing a viscous, strange tone. "Actually, it's pretty powerful, extremely strong."

As he spoke, the minotaur's two eyeballs, which he had deliberately preserved intact, rushed over and merged into the viscous black liquid.

Nanjo Manami silently watched this bizarre scene unfold before her, and quickly accepted the premise.

She didn't mince words and asked directly.

"Uesugi-kun, can you carry me?"

"piece of cake."

After using his telekinesis to envelop Nanjo Manami and connect her to his back, Uesugi Tetsu heard her sigh.
"I was careless... Changshi's start was too bizarre, he didn't even have a chance to develop."

His little face, covered in dust, was filled with displeasure.

"The entire village had only a few hundred people, and the number of extraordinary ones was very small. The village also had almost no spiritual energy. In less than two days, they encountered a demon player who had been developing for an unknown period of time, and the player wiped out the entire village in one fell swoop."

As Nanjo Aimi floated into the air, she slowly gathered spiritual power to heal her wounds, and her voice became a little lighter: "The two spirits who were born in the same village as me are already asleep."

"If we had chosen [Non-human] from the start, it probably wouldn't have been so difficult..."

Uesugi Tetsu remained silent.

He floated atop the minotaur's corpse, receiving the inheritance while staring at the [lv5] above Nanjo Aimi's head, unsure of what to say.

How the hell did they survive?

When I'm at level five, I'd probably get slapped into mush by this minotaur.

Incredible.

"—And who knew this world was such a desolate place. If I had been born in the present world, I would probably have already started implementing the [correct] policy."

Nanjo Manami, speaking in a childish, grandmotherly tone, made a sarcastic remark.

"Correct? What is this, Nanjo-nee?"

"I almost forgot, Uesugi-kun, you didn't know this because you didn't come in with an invitation."

Nanjo Aimi first ordered several chunks of minotaur muscle, then, ignoring the nauseating scene below, stuffed them all into her mouth and said slowly.

"The invitation letter states that to break through the 49th level 'boundary,' one needs to have a 'correct' belief that is absolutely correct in their heart."

Before this, it was all just the beginner phase.

Upon hearing this, Uesugi Tetsuya suddenly realized what was going on.

It turns out we haven't left the beginner village yet; all we need to do right now is mindlessly grind monsters and level up.

No wonder the area quests haven't been triggered yet, because the main quest is too obvious—it's just about constantly leveling up and then using this so-called "correct" breakthrough.

It's just that Uesugi Tetsu missed this information because he didn't complete the prerequisite area unlocking quest [Invitation], which is why he's currently confused.

"Correct...is this how you seek the answer?"

Uesugi Tetsu murmured, then asked Nanjo Ai, who had quickly devoured strawberry juice with her mouth full, "Nanjo-nee, what's right for you?"

"have not thought."

Nanjo Ai patted her flat stomach, reached for two more pieces of minotaur fragments, wolfed them down, and then pouted.

"I came here on a government-funded vacation, I never expected it to turn out so messy..."

As she spoke, she chuckled.

The petite Nanjo casually wiped the red from her lips, then clasped her hands together in prayer towards Uesugi Tetsuya.
"From now on, I'll leave it to you, Uesugi-kun, to continue having fun with me, this little burden!"

Where is the burden?
Uesugi Tetsuya didn't even bother to comment on the issue; he simply mentioned that a conspicuous golden light had flown in one direction, and he was preparing to go there as well.

"Then let's go that way."

Nanjo Manami said nonchalantly, "Anyway, we'll just have to wait for the real world to fall down and grab a huge wave of resources."

"Oh, right, Uesugi-kun."

Nanjo Ai's slightly bulging abdomen deflated at a visible rate.

She blinked, then spread her hands in front of the two scarlet eyes that were constantly watching her.

"I'm hungry, is there anything else to eat?"

Uesugi Tetsuya surveyed the barren land, devoid of even a blade of grass, and fell silent. Then, he raised an eyeball using the black slime.
"How about you eat me?"

……

"I will not allow this world to sink."

"Responding to the wishes of all beings and relieving countless sufferings."

"That's what Buddha is like."

The small figure, enveloped in Buddhist light, uttered: "If the present world will sink and all living beings will perish, then why don't I just hold up this present world, which is like a sea of ​​suffering?"

You can't do it.

"The inability to do it does not change the fact that it is correct."

Above the rift valley and ruins, a vast and magnificent golden light shone.

A colossal Buddha image rose from the ground, seemingly supporting the heavens and the earth.

On the other side of a crumbling world.

"—If you are powerful enough, then whatever you do will become [correct]."

"What is considered right or wrong in this world can change because of people."

The girl said calmly,

"The fist is power."

On the ashen earth, the blazing, magnificent sun rises, crushing all dissenting voices into dust.

Then, unsurprisingly—

They discovered a familiar Buddha's light illuminating the sky on the other side.
