I'm a demon in Tokyo!

Chapter 438 The Birth of the Tenth Thousandth Eye! The Wandering World Plan! The Tide of the Underworld, Annihilating the World in an Instant!
Gulu, Gulu...

It was as if he had swallowed two burning earth cores. An indescribable burning and scorching sensation spread to every pupil of Uesugi Tetsuya's eyes, even turning his originally black body crimson.

boom! boom! boom!
The volcano erupted, and lava flowed.

Each golden-red eye had a bright, gleaming flame at its edge.

It took quite a bit of effort for Uesugi Tetsuya to finally digest the two double pupils provided by Kitano Runa.

The texture... was comparable to stuffing two freshly baked, piping hot soup dumplings directly into your mouth and biting them open in one go. Uesugi Tetsu didn't spit them out subconsciously and even suffered a minor injury as a result.

However, in contrast, fifty golden-red vertical pupils suddenly appeared on Uesugi Tetsu's jet-black dragon body!
Two for fifty!

The number of pupils that grew at once was unprecedented.

Uesugi Tetsuya was a little surprised—normally, he might need to swallow hundreds of thousands of pairs of pupils to achieve such an effect, and he might not even be able to do it.

Nowadays, it's amazing how much time can be saved simply by opening your mouth to eat.

Although the taste is a bit off, these are minor issues that can be overcome with time.

"Kitano-san, is there any more?"

Uesugi Tetsuya's eyes truly burned with passion.

"Uesugi-kun, do you think I'm like you, able to keep buying eyes wholesale?" The giant roc, with two holes filled with flames on its head, pouted in a very human-like way: "These two will take quite a while to grow."

"Since it works so well, I'll continue to feed you when I grow more, after all, resources shouldn't be wasted."

Kitano Runa has already treated this stage as a "simulation management" game, so she has to make use of everything that can be used.

—In the far east of the world, hundreds of right-thinking individuals gather together, all sharing the same general direction and goals, with an extraordinary presence like Kitano Runa maintaining order and balance.

Days passed by naturally and peacefully.

Almost every short period of time, large groups of monsters that have evolved into all sorts of bizarre shapes appear in order to escape.

The demons first entered the "All-Seeing Domain" that Uesugi Tetsu had spent a long time developing. After a brief ten seconds, all the demons would lose their pupils and fall into darkness.

Immediately afterwards, a golden roc would fly by with a cry, controlling the flames with exquisite precision to burn all the demons to death without damaging their corpses, leaving behind mountains of spoils.

Finally, a team of ordinary people would collect the corpses of these demons in batches and transport them back as reserve resources.

If, in the rare event of a human or player fleeing to the area, they are carefully examined and accepted by a designated "correct person".

What if a demon with malicious intent tries to slip through the cracks?
This is of course impossible.

Because above the dome, countless golden-red vertical pupils are constantly looking down at the earth.

During this time, those who came with Uesugi Tetsuya were also "working".

Because most people cannot always be correct in their actions, they spend their spare time on the "shipbuilding project," which significantly improves shipbuilding efficiency and avoids any major problems.

"It seems that, with the exception of a few, most of the right people also agree with focusing on survival."

After silently observing from the sky for a long time, Uesugi Tetsuya concluded.

The "minority" here naturally refers to Tokugawa Ryuji, Kujo Oboroya, and the "Sword Saint," who either disappeared or acted solely according to their own ideas—the "correct ones."

Furthermore, through extensive observation, Uesugi Tetsu clearly discovered the difference between choosing "human" and "non-human".

Generally speaking, the former is usually much weaker than the latter.

However, if you choose the [human] option, you can take this opportunity to improve yourself, and this improvement experience can be converted into real-world benefits. Is this a kind of benefit given by Yin Yang Assistance?
A prime example is Ririko, who has already begun to push her Sword Domain towards becoming a Sword Realm, and in the foreseeable future, she is highly likely to succeed.

This senior is very generous.

Even if the body inside the black box is different from reality, it is not much different in general, and the benefits gained by exchanging "a long time in a dream" are very obvious.

As for those who chose the "non-human" form, if they transform into a "fantasy being," their power will increase exponentially.

For example, his relationship with Kitano Runa, who had transformed into a pieced-together bird...

Having already possessed over five thousand pupils, could he be considered a Wild God? A Great Wild God? Or perhaps even higher, comparable to the once supremely righteous Heavenly Fox?
Uesugi Tetsu wasn't really sure; his specific feelings were as if veiled by a thin layer of gauze, making them very vague.

But one thing is for sure——

Now, with his five thousand pupils, Wan Yan Zhu Yin is far superior to his real-life self, who would have used all his trump cards.

Whether it's the so-called "Eye of the Evil God" or "Factory Owner Z" standing before him, they are nothing more than ants that can be destroyed in the blink of an eye.

"This expanding power feels... a bit distorted."

The moment this thought arose, Uesugi Tetsu understood why he couldn't clearly sense the strength he was currently experiencing.

"A dream, a game, what a painstaking effort!"

The pupils in the sky moved, and the dark clouds, as black as ink, surged, easily swallowing the two pupils that the giant roc usually threw up.

However, Uesugi Tetsuya's body only gained two or three pupils as a result.

"By the way, Kitano-kun, why isn't your ship finished yet?"

"They're making such a big splash, Uesugi-kun, didn't you pay any attention when you were just a deliveryman?"

The giant roc, hovering in the sky, served as a lighting tool while asking with some surprise.

Kitano Runa explained simply,
"In reality, we are not building a simple ship, like Noah's Ark... but a new world."

She used her "mind's eye" to look at the steel continent that was gradually taking shape on the pale yellow deep sea: "Among the correct ones, there are important figures from the Yin-Yang Bureau in reality."

"This important figure proposed the idea of ​​'Wandering in the Real World,' providing a concrete design. From the moment it was fully formed, it was one-twentieth the size of the real world, and it could continue to widen and enlarge afterward."

Is a specific design provided?
Uesugi Tetsuya was stunned.

"Kitano-kun, do you mean that our current world was created in the same way? Do I seem to have learned something I shouldn't know...?"

"of course not."

Kitano Runa was startled by his words. If it were true, it was a topic she absolutely couldn't touch. She might even have her memories erased when she woke up.

"According to that person, this is just 'an alternative to restarting civilization if the present world is wiped out,' and it's a good opportunity to test whether it can succeed in the dark."

That sounds pretty true.

Runa Kitano continued, "The new world floats on the deep sea, and naturally it must constantly resist erosion. Therefore, there are currently three ways to provide energy."

One method was to throw the demon's body into the furnace.

Secondly…

The giant roc shook its wings, whose light could illuminate thousands of miles: "It is the traditional way of converting solar energy and other energy sources into electrical energy."

"The third type is the energy of the mind. I heard that Ririko's sword heart is this kind of energy... To be on the safe side, three types were designed, which almost encompass all kinds of energy."

"But it's a piece of cake."

Kitano Runa casually flapped her wings: "The light and heat emanating from me alone could drive me to wander the mortal world for who knows how long."

"Maybe……"

Uesugi Tetsuya remained noncommittal.

With Kitano Runa gone, time sped up once again.

Normally, Uesugi Tetsu would either carefully observe Ririko's sword practice or chat with Nichi. As for Ye Chun... he was actually quite puzzled as to why Ye Chun often talked to Ririko and Nichi, but hadn't said a single word to him yet, and was always secretly watching him.

I must have done something to upset her.

Uesugi Tetsu wasn't quite sure, because he needed to focus more on the "macro" aspects.

Point your eyes to the heavens and observe the workings of civilization, the changes in the world...

In this way, one can truly experience the feeling of "the world changes, the sea turns into mulberry fields, and the sea dries up and the rocks crumble".

He did not let this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity slip by.

Perhaps not long afterward, under Uesugi Tetsu's watchful gaze, that once simple steel continent had become vast and magnificent.

The new modern world is almost complete.

A creation forged purely by human power floats on the surface of the deep sea. At the very center of the "present world" is a towering lighthouse that will later house many eyes.

At the bottom lies the core of the present world, a colossal furnace.

—The Thousand Eyes act as guides on the deep sea, the Giant Roc provides the energy needed for wandering in the mortal world, and the rest of the Right Ones each perform their duties, striving to advance their own right.

In the years that followed, New Modernity conducted several sea trials in coastal waters, repairing tons of problems that would never have occurred if it hadn't been sailing.

"The deepest part of the sea that can be seen has changed from light yellow to dark yellow."

Uesugi Tetsu's thoughts sank slightly: "The speed and ability of [Yellow Springs] to spread... is truly terrifying."

It truly deserves to be called one of the most terrifying things that can never be mentioned.

He looked towards the west, where the large hordes of demons had almost ceased to arrive recently, and could clearly feel—

Time is running out.

One day thereafter, a message came from a non-human scout who could transform himself into a tiny, almost invisible, yet infinitely long thread.

"The wave of destruction is approaching, and it is getting faster and faster. It will engulf the mortal world in three months at most."

"—Then let's set off immediately."

After less than five minutes of discussion, all those who were right reached a unanimous decision.

On a stable foundation, let the new world "wander" as quickly as possible.

After all, no one knows what will happen after that cataclysmic wave truly engulfs the mortal world.

Who knows, an unimaginable explosion might occur—if you're close enough, everyone might be sent flying into the sky and die.

"Uesugi-kun, I'll leave the observation to you then."

"Small things."

Sensing the deafening roar emanating from the deep yellow sea, Uesugi Tetsuya began to retract his "toll zone," which had extended for quite some distance.

"—I can also project what I see and show everyone just how terrifying this thing is."

"This is a good thing."

Kitano Runa's energy wasn't as high as when Uesugi Tetsu first saw her; she cackled twice.

"Many people haven't seen this wave yet, and some powerful 'rightists' even think that it's unnecessary for us to run away. With so many experts working together, stopping a tsunami shouldn't be a problem."

Uesugi Tetsuya just smiled.

If the words "Yellow Springs" were actually uttered, some knowledgeable ghosts and spirits might immediately withdraw, fearing any association with such a thing.

"Let's go."

He said.

……

Three months passed in a blink of an eye.

The new world has already wandered far enough that even those with good eyesight can no longer see any elements related to the mortal world.

Uesugi Tetsuya, relying on the massive slaughter of the countless monsters in the Deep Sea, has now surpassed the 7,000 mark in the size of his pupils, only slightly weaker than Kitano Runa's Pixie Bird.

—The Tide of the Underworld arrived as scheduled, and the scene of it devouring the last bit of the mortal world was also released by Uesugi Tetsu, shocking the entire New Modern World.

The good news is that nothing unexpected happened after Tokoyo was swallowed up.

The bad news is that the tide of the underworld did not stop with the disappearance of the mortal world; it continued to surge toward them.

This will be a long and drawn-out battle.

Since it's a long period, most of the time is just peaceful day after day.

In this peaceful atmosphere, apart from those who were correct in their own practice and monster-slaying, everyone began to seek out interesting amusement and developed many entertainment activities.

Aside from interacting with Ririko and the others, Uesugi Tetsu mostly served as a background figure, watching the world change from the top of the lighthouse.

"Speaking of which, I wonder where Tokugawa Ryuji and the others went. We haven't seen them since..."

Uesugi Tetsuya gazed at the endless yellow sea and thought to himself, "Perhaps they, like the Sword Saint, have found another answer."

And there's Nanjo-san.

That's right. Even though a very long time has passed, Nanjo has neither succeeded nor failed and is still in the "right choice".

No wonder she told herself at the beginning that "it might take a while."

"This isn't just a little bit of time..."

Uesugi Tetsu really couldn't understand why this could take so long; perhaps Nanjo-nee had her own secret.

"Also, the current situation is not very good."

Uesugi Tetsu was able to discover... and only he could discover that the number of monsters in the Deep Sea had increased compared to the beginning.

In contrast, the color of the sea began to fade from deep yellow to light yellow again.

Are there really that many monsters in the Deep Sea in reality?

Uesugi Tetsu recalled his many falls—except for one particularly terrifying experience, the rest of the time seemed quite safe and peaceful, and he felt nothing except for the water pressure.

"But in any case, the tide of the underworld continues to spread, and the deeper the sea is, the more monsters there are. Between two evils, we can only choose the lesser one."

There was no other way but to continue wandering.

"Is the 'Yin-Yang Assistance' method intended to test whether the 'correctness' will change as a result?"

who cares.

As another vast expanse of the sea's monster pupils were cleared, the ten thousandth golden-red vertical pupil silently opened in the darkness.

Looking down upon the present world of navigation, looking down upon everyone's every move, and looking down upon the boundless sea.

The first half of the Ten Thousand Eyes Candle Shadow has finally reached the point of "complete form" at this moment.
