A person in Tokyo becomes a demon god

Chapter 209 The Innately Evil Orochi Brat, This Old Man Will Now
[Igarashi Shinto?]

[At this crucial moment, instead of going into battle, what are you talking about here?]

[Oh no! The poison gas has already spread to Xiaoshan City!]

The comments section was in chaos; at this rate, it would spread to Tokyo in less than ten minutes. In fact, it had already entered the Tokyo metropolitan area, and the number of affected people was increasing exponentially. Tokyo city proper has a population of over 14 million, but the entire Tokyo metropolitan area has 44 million.

It can be said,
Half of the island nation's population lives in this region.

A faint purple mist spread out, causing unimaginable chaos. At this moment, who would have the leisure to listen to this 'country witch' rambling?
"Ahem, listen to me."

With her short twin tails and dressed in a gorgeous outfit, Igarashi Sakiko put on a serious face.

"The situation is critical, everyone, please lend your strength to our Lord!"

???

"If you do not wish to die, pray to my Lord."

"My lord is the compassionate lord of illusions, the goddess of the fall between reality and illusion! The end and the first bloom!"

The extremely chuunibyou (delusional) words spoken by Sakiko Igarashi, while seemingly chuunibyou, actually perfectly reflect Hinako Fukami's situation: Mirror: symbolizes self-examination, a split personality, and the boundary between reality and illusion. Flower: symbolizes the girl's beauty, purity, corruption, and ultimate bloom, transforming into a poisonous spider lily.

As for compassion, killing all the monsters is also a kind of compassion?
Come on, everyone.

Sakiko Igarashi, completely oblivious to her own chuunibyou (delusional) words, raised the Kagura bell in her hand.

"Believe in God, worship God, and pray to God."

"The Lord of Compassion in the Mirror Flower will surely protect everyone!"

The comments section paused for a moment.
This person's words are simply not convincing.

Not to mention that it's obvious to anyone with eyes that there's a huge difference in strength between the two "Deep Water Hatchlings" and the "Water Dragon God." This Igarashi God Lord, for example, has been drifting aimlessly in the sky since the start of the fight. While others are fighting tooth and nail, she remains impeccably dressed and doesn't look like a master at all.

If it had been six months ago, I would have immediately assumed they were scammers.

But the good thing is:

"Ladies and gentlemen, I, the King of News, guarantee that what Lord Igarashi said is true."

At the critical moment, it was News King who stepped forward: no matter what, he didn't want to see the island nation shrouded in poisonous fog, with only scattered supernatural beings remaining.

Since 'News King' says so,

[Should we pray to that 'Lord of Mercy in the Mirror'?]

I'd do anything for anyone who can save me!

Whether it was a desperate attempt to find a cure or grasping at straws, many people clasped their hands together and began to pray to that Deepwater Child—no, the Lord of the Mirror Flower.

At the same time, the island nation's government also began to exert its efforts.

"Repeat it! Repeat it!"

Throughout the island nation, from Hokkaido in the north to Okinawa in the south, radio broadcasts rang out in every city and town.

"This is the Cabinet Office of the island nation's government. Currently, the entire country is being struck by a massive, supernatural disaster called a 'toxic cloud.' Conventional methods have proven ineffective. To reiterate, conventional methods have proven completely ineffective!"

"Based on the final decision of the Supreme Countermeasures Headquarters, and in accordance with ancient records, the 'Divine Response Plan' is now being activated."

"We urge all citizens, wherever they may be, to immediately cease all unnecessary activities and to pray in unison according to the following instructions."

"The object of our prayers is—'The Lord of Mercy in the Mirror'."

Countless experts from the Metropolitan Police Department were watching the battlefield at Ebisugaoka intently, wanting to analyze every single detail frame by frame.

No sooner had Sakiko Igarashi finished speaking than dozens of experts presented their 'solutions,' and they were all remarkably consistent.

Why don't you worship gods?

Real name lost!

"Find the nearest mirror: whether it's a vanity mirror, a car window, or even still water, make sure you can see your reflection in it."

"Please place a flower—any kind, any state of being, even a wildflower by the roadside or a paper flower—in front of the mirror. If you don't have a flower, please visualize the image of a blooming flower in your mind."

The experts are indeed experts; in just a few dozen seconds, they had already come up with a whole bunch of 'prayer rituals'.

"Now, please join the cabinet ministers in prayer."

With the introduction of picture-in-picture in the lower right corner of live streams on mobile phones, TVs, and computers.

The cabinet ministers of the island nation bowed respectfully in front of a large screen that was brightly lit and reflected their images, with bouquets of flowers presented to foreign guests in front of them.

"The beauty without form, the twin gods, the true master in the mirror."

We offer up the cries of sorrow and suffering of this world.

May your compassion fall like moonlight;

Smooth the wounds of reality, freeze the madness of the riots.

May your gaze fall upon this place;
On both sides of the mirror, we are granted a tranquil end... or a beginning.

Throughout the island nation, especially in prefectures such as Aomori, Akita, Iwate, Yamagata, Miyagi, Fukushima, Tochigi, and Ibaraki, which were already covered in poison gas, countless people who had been rolling on the ground gritted their teeth, curled up, and knelt down with their hands clasped together after hearing the broadcast.

"The Beauty Without Form. The True Lord in the Mirror of Twin Gods."

"May Your God grant us miracles and have mercy on us!"

"Have mercy on us!!!"

Not only in island nations, but also because of the live broadcast by "News King," billions of people around the world witnessed it all, and many people subconsciously put their hands together and silently prayed.

The rabbit mourns the fox's death; if the island nation falls, will those gods and demons just obediently stay there?

If any one of them were to break out, it would be a catastrophe for most countries!

Although these beliefs are not exactly 'devout',
However, when the number reaches tens of millions or even hundreds of millions, the resulting power is enough to overwhelm mountains and seas, destroy cities and countries!
The prerequisite is knowing how to utilize this power; otherwise, it's all just empty talk.

"Huh?!" ×2
On the battlefield of Rongzhi Hill, the two 'deep-water kids', covered in wounds, stopped in surprise and looked at their hands.

"Watch out, Hinako—"

woo woo woo woo!

A water dragon's head accompanied by a howling wind.

With the power to shatter small mountains, it violently crushed towards the fledgling wearing the fox mask.

If this impact had landed squarely, any supernatural expert present would have been severely injured, if not killed. Yet, the usually agile Hinako was staring blankly at her beast arm.

boom----! !

A deafening roar shook the earth, sending dust billowing into the air.

The rising smoke and dust resembled a missile explosion, but after the smoke and dust dissipated:
"Um?!"

Hinako's right hand had swelled to several meters, looking like the Gear Third of a certain 'Gum-Gum Fruit'. With a massive influx of 'ki', this arm had transformed into a giant's hand! The outstretched giant hand forcefully stopped the 'faucet'.

The contrast between her petite frame and her small stature is astonishing.

"I see,"

"This is the power of the gods!"

brush----

On the other side, Hinako Fukami, wielding a spirit sword, suddenly swung her 'Inazuma' sword, and the crescent-shaped slash that roared out grew to tens of meters.

Pfft

A flash of light, and the massive, mountain-sized snake head crashed down.

Crash!
A massive amount of toxic water surged everywhere, startling many experts.

He suddenly became so much stronger?

"Hmph, the power of faith, what kind of skill is that?"

It looks like the 'Yamata no Orochi', but apart from the main head, the other snake heads are just 'fakes' created by the Water Dragon God using his water control ability. Being blocked or killed is completely harmless to the Water Dragon God.

"Aren't you also absorbing the fear of countless people? What right do you have to say that?"

As Nishida Rinko spoke sarcastically to her opponent, Igarashi Sakiko danced gracefully on a small hill on the outskirts of the battlefield.

She may be terrible at sports, but she hasn't neglected her family's 'Kagura Dance'.

Kagura, Kagura, means to please the gods.

Listen to the rhythms of that distant world;

"The winds of a thousand years of pines converge here at this moment!"

In Japanese mythology, the mischievous child Susanoo caused trouble all over Takamagahara, which angered his sister Amaterasu so much that she went into seclusion.

After the gods drove away Susanoo, they were troubled about how to get Amaterasu to leave her secluded 'Amato Rock'. So they had 'Ama-no-Mikoto' dance outside, and the gods cheered. Amaterasu, who was hiding in Amato Rock, curiously peeked out and was pulled out by Ame-no-Tadashi, who had been lying in ambush nearby.

In this way, the dance of Ame-no-Tsutsumi-no-Mikoto was passed down as the 'Kagura' dance used in ritual activities.

Every step and frown of the young girl, every turn and stride, was as if measured by a ruler.

The Kagura bell in her hand rang out with a clear, crisp sound.

Chanting a blessing aloud:

"A solitary ruler amidst a shower of cherry blossoms,"

"Though not an ancient forest god,"

"Neither are those who wield wealth."

"At this moment, please become both human and god! — Lady Hinako!"

As Sakiko Igarashi danced gracefully, amidst the ringing of bells and blessings, a massive influx of spiritual energy from all over the world converged and was directed towards the two Deepwater Hinako.

"snort,"

"Woo."

The immense force flowing into their bodies caused both of them to groan in pain.

At the same time, the girl, who finally gained the 'power of faith', also learned a lot of knowledge in the process.

For example, granting power to believers, how to establish one's own 'divine kingdom', how to travel to 'Takamagahara', and the secret of the Red Spring Seal!
"Everyone, stand back!"

Snapped,

As it spoke, a young boy clasped his hands together in prayer.

An invisible shockwave surged from her body, sweeping across the entire battlefield. It wasn't strong, but it was very resilient: it directly carried everyone away.

?

The other supernatural experts quickly realized what was happening.
This is how the enemy sends them off the battlefield: at the same time, the tattered sailor uniforms on the two girls begin to regenerate out of thin air.

"Water Dragon God, you should not have appeared in this world."

On the other hand, Deepwater Hatchling pointed his fingers like halberds at the eight heads of the monster that were truly offspring of gods and demons.

"The Mizuho Province of Toyo-Ashihara,"

As this Hina chanted the incantation, another Hina who had seen everyone off also raised her finger.

"The deity who leads the way with a white rabbit,"

The two children, one after the other, worked together in perfect harmony.

"Guardians of the Eight Thousand Spears,"

"Lord of the Great Cave of the Nether World,"

"Please grant my wish—" ×2
?

"No! You can't do this!!"

The eight-headed giant serpent's expression changed drastically, and it began to struggle frantically!
The mountains surrounding Rongzhi Hill trembled with an unprecedented intensity;
The mountains rise and fall like rolling waves, churning endlessly! It's as if an extremely ferocious and evil demon is about to tear the earth apart and crawl out from the underworld.

No, that's not right!
Because in this scene of cataclysmic destruction, the eight-headed serpent's expression is one of ever-growing despair.

"Don't even think about trapping me anymore, you are too great to be true—"

"snort,"

The water dragon god responded with a soft hum.

The next moment, towering crimson mountains rose up around the entire battlefield!

These mountains were so high and so magnificent that they rose to hundreds of meters in the blink of an eye, completely surpassing the Seven-Headed Water Dragon God, causing everyone's vision to darken: because cliffs and precipices rose up right in front of them!

As the mountains began to bend, everyone realized that these were not mountains at all, but five 'fingers' supporting the sky and touching the earth.

"My God, this is..."

The "News King" flying in the air has a high vantage point and a far-reaching view.
So, one could clearly see a crimson hand slowly rising above these mountains and land.

Before this hand, the seven heads and hundreds of meters long 'Water Dragon God' looked as small as earthworms in the palm of a hand.

"No!! No!! I—"

Just as the Water Dragon God was struggling frantically, his five mountain-like fingers had already closed up.

"Noisy."
