A person in Tokyo becomes a demon god

Chapter 138 The Battle for Supernatural Fruits
"So it turns out that Brother Bu has such a legendary experience."

"Don't worry, next time I encounter a Wood Spirit, I'll ask about Number 18 for you."

The birdman took on everything.

"Thank you so much,"

Completely unaware that his 'special XP' had been watched by hundreds of millions of people around the world, the one-armed boy happily thanked the birdman in front of him.

[Is this guy planning to have sex with a tree?]

[What are you saying? That's a wood spirit, a wood spirit. How can it be considered a tree? Do you understand what a tree spirit is?]

[None of you have noticed the key point. Isn't the key point that his lover was turned into an enemy by a supernatural being?]

This caused an uproar worldwide.

Because the island nation's government blocked the news, other countries only had a vague understanding of it.
Even the island nation's own people only knew that the government had a strange 'supernatural team,' but now they realized that in the hands of those high-ranking beings, death was not the end, but the beginning.

The soul was captured by the other party and transformed into a supernatural being.

Yes, that did grant him supernatural powers, but judging from the behavior of that 'Number 17', he no longer considers himself human.

If you have no memories, are you still yourself?

[This young man, I'm afraid... sigh...]

Best wishes.

How romantic to pursue a lover who has completely lost their memory, or is even no longer 'human'!

[Romantic? Go spend a minute in that forest first!]

The barrage of comments was densely packed with onlookers, leaving only the island nation's 'section'; comments from other countries were naturally assigned to other sections. There are thousands of platforms worldwide that broadcast 'News King' live in real time.

It has to be said that it generated a massive amount of traffic and generated a lot of buzz.

They not only witnessed a great battle between humans and the supernatural, but also saw such a 'tender' love affair.

At the same time, an idea emerged in the minds of countless people.

This boy doesn't seem very bright, and despite only having one hand, he manages to thrive in this city.

I could do that too!

It can only be said that Bu Buzhang has caused great harm to people.

"Ahem, Mr. Wang from Bird News, we're leaving now."

"and many more--"

With a turn of his bird-like face, the young man, who called himself "King of News," focused his gaze on Erke Ling's hands.

A fruit resembling an apple, entirely white, but with raised cloud-like patterns on its surface, clearly not an ordinary object.

"This is a supernatural fruit?"

"Yes,"

He subconsciously pulled the fruit back a little, but the tall birdman had already shoved the camera right up to the fruit.

"Wow, is this the supernatural fruit that countless powerful and wealthy people crave?"

[Gain power by consuming it?]

[A supernatural fruit?!]

Sell ​​it to me!

【I will pay 10 million yen! 】

[Dream on, even ten million US dollars wouldn't be enough to get it.]

Ignoring the excitement in the live stream room, the birdman circled the girl, filming her once, before packing up his live stream equipment with satisfaction.

"Oh, coming here today was definitely the right decision."

This was the target that the mercenaries on the periphery risked their lives to achieve; unexpectedly, it was obtained 'easily' by these two teenagers. Judging from their fighting style, they had most likely also eaten supernatural fruits.

That's right,

Niko Rei has also eaten the supernatural fruit.

This one was for her uncle, Dr. Hongye.

"Zhang, let's go back to the hospital."

"Ok."

Seeing that the two were about to leave, the ever-familiar 'News King', maintaining his bird-like demeanor, followed them.

"You two mentioned a hospital?"

"Yes, Dr. Hongye is still on duty. If anyone in this city is injured, they can go there for treatment."

"Wow, another great discovery."

How can a hospital still be operating in a city like this?

Tokyo,

Chiyoda Ward.

In the Metropolitan Police Department Inspector's office.

"It's practically a standard post-apocalyptic survival movie,"

Miya Kana, who was also watching the live stream, looked up at the window: the daily urban scenery of Tokyo with its bustling traffic.

"Sometimes, I can't help but wonder if we live on Earth."

While things are relatively stable on their side, a massive population migration is underway in Osaka: the 'Wrath of the Forest,' which originated in Takatsuki City, is spreading in all directions: except for those avoiding Kyoto, towns and villages in other places are being continuously submerged by the forest.

The little girl shikigami named 'Rokuho' has full energy and uses 'Abundant Fruit' to expand the forest every day as long as she has the stamina.

When he's tired, he rests; when he wakes up, he works: his diligence puts someone to shame.

I started to wonder if I had set the bar too high.
We will use this as a template from now on.

When she develops the Abundant Fruit to its limit, that will be the time for the 'Forest Fruit' to make its debut.

"Without a doubt, we live on Earth."

Director Fujita looked up.

"If you have nothing to do, go to Takatsuki City and command the 'Special Creature Countermeasures Team' to try and obtain a supernatural fruit."

The so-called "Special Creature Countermeasures Unit" is a new agency of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department in the island nation.

The members inside,
They were all created by someone else, these 'half-demons'.

Similar to those centaurs and crocodiles created from the unfortunate members of the 'Tea Beard Pirates' on Punk Hazard Island.

Whether or not these animal limbs can achieve their intended effect is up to them.

"Yes, Director."

Knowing that her boss wished everyone would work 24 hours a day, Miyako Hana stood up.

"But then, a lot of people will probably head towards Osaka, right?"

Previously, due to the island nation's government blocking information, most people only knew that a supernatural disaster called "Wrath of the Forest" had broken out, with a massive plant outbreak centered on "Takatsuki City"—as the disaster continued to spread, its intensity had exceeded C+, and the affected area continued to expand.

Now, the whole world knows that the core of those 'human-faced trees' can grant ordinary people supernatural powers.

Undoubtedly, countless ambitious individuals and adventurers will flock here.

Once you enter this forest and obtain the supernatural fruit, you will immediately become a 'superior person' in a physiological sense!
How could anyone not be tempted by that?

In particular, the infatuated and passionate young man appearance of Bubu Zhang is very deceptive.

He was indeed single-mindedly pursuing his childhood sweetheart, but in actual combat, he was calm, collected, quick-witted, and fearless—a born warrior. Rather, anyone who has survived in that forest-covered city until now must possess considerable skill.

Those who think they can easily obtain supernatural fruits...

It is destined to become nourishment for the forest.

"Let them be,"

Director Fujita didn't care at all.

"It can also help relieve our pressure, if—"

If someone were to actually obtain the supernatural fruit from that man-eating forest, he would gladly offer praise and a 'recruitment letter' from the Supernatural Countermeasures Department.

The island nation's supernatural power is insufficient to deal with even ordinary supernatural disasters, let alone the lofty 'Twelve Shikigami'.

Not all supernatural beings are willing to join a government.

For example: the three siblings, the Kamaitachi!

And those powerful and wealthy individuals, after obtaining super injections and supernatural fruits, all use them themselves: expect them to come out and deal with supernatural disasters? Impossible.

A swarm of insects!
In other words, the director doesn't have the abilities of that "Queen" from the neighboring Korean country, otherwise he would have blown up these guys.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

In fact,
The three Kamaitachi siblings that Director Fujita has been longing for are now in Takatsuki City!
On the green-covered streets,

A tall, burly man dressed in black clothes and a black face mask coughed dryly, his fist clenched.

"Everyone, we're just picking some fruit and leaving."

? !
"Would you like to take a look at that package and order something?"

Are you here to buy goods?

"Put down the stolen spirit fruit, or we won't be polite!"

The wood spirits who arrived were furious and pointed at the youngest of the three, berating him angrily.

"Hey?"

He was carrying a bundle that was bigger than himself.
The little girl, dressed in black and with her face covered by a black headscarf, immediately began to argue.

"I picked it up!"

What does it mean to steal?
It's as if Xiaochu is some kind of bad child.

"Can't you just let us leave?"

The third figure spoke; even though she was dressed in black, it was easy to tell from her slender figure that she was a woman.

"Hmph, this forest is a training ground set up by Lord 'Liuhe'."

"This is not a place where you can come and go as you please."

The wood spirits certainly wouldn't let the other party take away a large number of 'spiritual fruits' so easily: even if they weren't strong enough, it was absolutely impossible.

Yes, despite the indignation of the wood spirits, they only made accusations without taking any action.

That's because, of course, it's because:

The several fallen 'human-faced trees' nearby
They were all cleaved in two by the sharp blades, turning into a pile of scrap.

"This way——"

Just as they were at a standoff, a voice came from afar.

"Everyone, I've brought reinforcements!"

Along with the voice of Number 17, several more 'Wood Spirits' sped over, while at the same time, a faint tremor came from the distance of the city: 'Human-faced Trees' from other places were on their way.

"Very good, let's get started!"

All that talk before was just a delaying tactic.

This is their home turf:
"Go, Sargassum!"

One of the 'Wood Spirits' slapped the ground with both hands.

swish swish swish

Giant seaweed burst forth from beneath her hands, like enormous pythons, coiling towards the three 'thieves'.

"Master the slash!"

With a flash of cold light, countless seaweed plants, which were like pythons writhing in the air, were instantly torn apart.

The black-clad man's five fingers had transformed into blades!
It can be said,
This guy's abilities are a perfect counter to these 'wood spirits'.

Even those 'human-faced trees' that were seven or eight meters tall were cleaved in two by the opponent's single strike.

"Number 6!"

Watch me!

That's why we have to wait for reinforcements to arrive, because of the abilities of the other wood spirits:

"Overlord flower!"

Another 'Wood Spirit' raised its hand, and a giant Queen of the Night flower sprouted from the ground.

Puff~~~
The giant night-blooming cereus spews out a visibly foul, yellowish-brown stench.

Once this odor is absorbed by a creature with a respiratory system and a sense of smell, it is enough to cause tears and snot to flow instantly, or even to cause the creature to faint.

"Oh, help, help me—"

Not to mention the short 'man in black,' even the big guy wielding the blade immediately felt dizzy and lightheaded.

efficient,

"wind!"

However, the third woman in black snapped her fingers.
In the blink of an eye, a whirlwind roared out, not only sweeping away the stench but also tearing apart the giant Queen of the Sea: the stench, carrying a large amount of sap and broken leaves, surged towards the wood spirits.

"Ahhhhh!!!"

"It stinks, it stinks, it stinks—"

"Number 7, what are you yelling for? We don't have a sense of smell!"

"Yes,"

The wood sprite called 'Number 7' was taken aback, but the scene before it was:

"He can control the wind? Then my ability is..."

Her ability is to create a sedative mist, and since the opponent possesses the ability of 'wind,' it will also be able to restrain her.

"Phoenix Leaf Shuriken!"

On the other side, a wood spirit waved its hands.

Wuwuwu————

One after another, large shuriken, resembling sycamore leaves, shot out.

The edges of this special plant are so sharp that they can easily slice through any creature that walks by. When she throws it with supernatural power, it is even more powerful, enough to easily slice through a light armored vehicle.

Ding ding ding,

Leaping forward to block Shiko's path, the tall man in black, Yoshifumi Nitta, sighed.

"Fight."

Since the other side won't let them leave easily, then we have no choice but to fight.
