A person in Tokyo becomes a demon god

Chapter 228 My King Makes a Grand Appearance!

"Director, this is Beowulf's file."

Within just a few minutes, information about 'Beowulf' was presented to Director Fujita.

"To be able to tear off a giant's arm with his bare hands? He is indeed a formidable warrior."

But that's exactly how they fought!
Even though Director Fujita wasn't a warrior, the mere thought of fighting something like that made him feel uneasy: like that golden longsword that screamed and flew away, looking for a place to clean itself.

Leaving aside the physical harm, the insults were terrifying.

"What did Norway and Sweden say?"

"A fierce argument broke out between the two sides, each believing that Beowulf was the guardian deity of their country."

Miya Kana diligently performed her duties.

According to the legends of history, Beowulf should have ruled both Norway and Sweden at the same time.

As for Denmark? It is explicitly stated that he helped the King of Denmark kill the demon and the sea monster, and then returned to Scandinavia to establish his own country.

As for the specific location?
Only Beowulf himself knew that, besides:

"The real Scandinavia must be in another world, right?"

Italy's Dietrich, Scandinavia's Beowulf, and Siegfried, who was attached to a leopard, are three epic heroes: all of whom are renowned figures whose stories have been passed down through famous poems.

"And then there's 'Gouchen,' who appeared in the 'other world.' If he's defeated by these Western European heroes, then we..."

Island nations are likely to face difficulties.

Although 'Gouchen' disdains to attack the weak, he is still a colleague of 'Guiren', 'Taichang', and 'Liuhe'.

Theoretically speaking, they are all enemies of the island nation. However, the current situation is that with the emergence of these 'great heroes,' Western European countries are both conflicted and reveling in the moment: regardless of whether these 'great heroes' have twisted personalities or not, just ask how strong they are!

As long as you are strong enough, those little 'quirks' can be completely ignored.

Once a matter escalates to the national level, many things become irrelevant: even good and evil become insignificant.

"I know,"

Director Fujita rubbed his temples.

"If 'Gouchen' is defeated, or even dies in another world, then:"

The NATO countries, eyeing the island nation covetously, will immediately rush in and carve it up completely.

The island nation has been able to maintain itself until now thanks to 'supernatural deterrence': regardless of whether those supernatural beings who stir up trouble are causing havoc on the island nation, they are ultimately beings from the island nation's mythology and legends, and are naturally on the island nation's side.

Once the island nation's supernatural powers show signs of weakness, human technology alone will not be enough to stop the Western European countries.

How did that 'Gou Chen' end up in another world?
My head hurts so much!
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.

“Lord Gouchen, I am the dog of Your Excellency, 'Nobleman'. If you need anything, please feel free to give the order.”

In the huge arena lounge, News King came to 'Gou Chen' and immediately slid to his knees upon meeting him.

On the one hand, this person, who was on equal footing with the 'benefactor,' was naturally also his superior.

On the other hand, News King also harbored the idea of ​​gathering information.

“I know of your existence,”

The 'Gouchen', dressed as a samurai from the Heian period, looks down at the bird-man sitting on a dogeza (a traditional Chinese Buddhist posture).

"A benefactor has granted you the power to reveal the supernatural world to the public: although I think it is unnecessary, since it is the benefactor's will, you shall do as he says."

"Yes, sir, I will certainly complete the mission."

The news king, completely impressed, immediately replied that he was already prepared to broadcast everything that happened in the supernatural world live, and he would do it regardless of whether there was an order from a 'benefactor'.

No, it should be said that the benefactor recognized this quality in him, which is why he bestowed upon him his power.

"Lord Gouchen, this is, after all, another world."

Please be extra careful.

With a determined effort, News King still managed to say those words.

His power came from the reward of a 'benefactor,' so expressing concern was not inappropriate; in reality:

"Are you afraid that I am no match for those foreigners?"

"Young ones don't dare!"

Hearing this question,

The news bird's head was pressed tightly against the ground.
He was terrified that the long sword would fly over at him in the next second and the bird's head would fall to the ground.

"My purpose in coming here is solely to witness the bravery of heroes from foreign lands."

Fortunately, Gou Chen did not get angry. Instead, he explained to News King:
"I can leverage the abilities of my colleagues to escape unscathed even when facing heroes from foreign lands."

Of course, that would be tantamount to 'cheating,' and given Gou Chen's personality, it would be an admission of defeat.

"I see, then I'm relieved."

While News King certainly didn't possess the keen political acumen of Director Fujita or Miya Hana, he instinctively didn't want his own legend to suffer defeat or even death. Now that he learned that Gou Chen had been prepared, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Go down."

With a wave of his hand, 'Gou Chen' immediately and respectfully withdrew.

"Sir, are these guys really those famous heroes from mythology?"

The 'Meishimaru' floating beside him, also known as the weapon-type Homie 'Tanaka Taiji', couldn't help but ask: Judging from his appearance alone, that 'Beowulf' does indeed fit the legendary image very well, but the way he fights with a third sword instantly destroys his dignified and majestic image.

"That's right, they are all legendary heroes."

'Gouchen' gave an affirmative answer, theoretically speaking, these great heroes were on the same level as his master: Abe no Seimei.

"This is a demiplane after the War of the Gods. In order for these people to survive, some kind of secret technique was probably used—we'll only know how strong they really are after we fight them."

And that is why 'Gou Chen' appeared here.

"So that's how it is,"

As the weapon of 'Gouchen', Tanaka Taiji can simply ask his master if he doesn't understand something.

If the question touches on a taboo, all that's needed is for Gouchen's aura to change;
Tanaka Taiji would then wisely shut up.

Ok?
Just at this time,
The golden longsword swirling around 'Gouchen' spotted a solitary figure.

Machii Isao,
The swordsman of the island nation
He had been defeated by his master's sword several times, so he was quite an old acquaintance.

That guy is one of them. Normal contestants need to form a team of three: even his master, 'Gou Chen', would temporarily create two 'Oni Warriors' to make up the numbers.

It's obvious that Machii Isao doesn't have that ability.

Are we supposed to just find two random 'passersby' to partner with?
There are quite a few experts participating in the 'Rose Garden Competition'. In this rest area, there are strong men who are five meters tall, warriors in full armor, men whose skin is covered with scales and who clearly have some special bloodline, and 'elves' with pointed ears, etc.

However, these experts mostly travel in groups of three or five, because they are all world-renowned masters.

Those who are alone are either top-tier experts or visitors from other worlds.

“Mr. Machii,” a familiar voice rang out just as Machii Isao, holding a knife, was pondering his next move.

"I see you're all alone. If you don't mind:"

The person walking towards him was dressed in unisex sportswear, with shoulder-length black hair cascading down his back, and a handsome face that was both male and female—it was Pegasus Hope.

"Can you team up with us?"

"Can,"

Upon encountering an 'acquaintance' in this other world, Machii Isao naturally wouldn't refuse, however:

"us?"

"Yes, I already have a teammate."

Tenma Kyou turned around and gestured for Machii Isao to follow.

"We met on the road and had a very pleasant conversation: the other person was a true knight with no bad habits, and could be a completely trustworthy teammate."

Because of 'certain' great heroes, the reputation of 'knights' has been lowered.

"Oh--"

Before Machii Isao could say anything, a bird's head popped out from the side.

"To receive such high praise from Lord Tianma, I would like to see what it's like to do, is that alright?"

"News King"

As for this guy who seems to appear wherever there's 'big news', Pegasus glanced at the live-streaming equipment in his hand and thought for a moment.

"can."

Anyway, once they're on the ring, their teammates' identities can't be hidden anymore.

"But don't be surprised when you meet my teammate, she's not a weirdo."

???

This seemingly unnecessary instruction caused Machii Isao and "News King" to exchange a glance.

It seems that most of the teammates that Pegasus hopes to have have some problems.

Is he also a pervert?
This enormous arena is very similar to the 'Roman Colosseum', a colossal building that can seat tens of thousands of people.

The interior also features numerous rooms for participants to rest and relax; not everyone enjoys gathering together, for example:

Led by Tianma Xiwang, the three arrived at a room where a girl was wiping a long sword in her hand.

The girl wore a sky-blue long dress and battle robe, silver plate armor with runes, and iron gloves on her hands. Because of the metal skirt and helmet, she could only stand and arrange her weapons. Such a fully armed warrior had long, flowing golden hair, emerald green eyes, and a pretty face that was beautiful even without makeup.

Her full military uniform testifies to her identity as a soldier.

However, her sweet and beautiful face carried a girlish gentleness and sadness.

glance,

His gaze turned toward the doorway.

The female knight wiping her longsword lost all her gentleness and sorrow, transforming into a valiant and extraordinary figure!
"Lord Tianma, you're back?"

The girl's voice was clear and crisp, without any hesitation.

"These two?"

"Let's consider them friends for now,"

Tenma raised his hand and first introduced Machii Isao.

"This is Machii Isao, the sword saint of my hometown, whose strength is no less than mine."

"Lord Machii,"

Upon hearing this, the girl in the sky-blue dress bowed respectfully.

"It's an honor to meet you."

"It's my pleasure,"

Machii Isao was not an impolite person, and he returned the greeting by raising his hand to his chest. He noticed:
The young swordswoman's accent seems different from the others.

Their 'language fluency' allowed them to communicate without hindrance, but the languages ​​they spoke were actually not mutually intelligible: they were essentially talking past each other.

"I'd like to invite Mr. Machii to team up with us. What do you think?"

gentlemen?

The girl's gaze swept over Machii Isao's chest, effectively concealing her surprise.

"I believe in Lord Pegasus."

The implication was that since this was the person Tianma wanted to introduce, she naturally wouldn't object.

Besides, she had no right to object: having come to this country alone, if she wanted to participate in the competition, she could only team up with others.

"As for this one—"

"I am a bard, nicknamed 'News King'."

The bird-man-like "News King" introduced himself.
"My job is to let countless people know about the deeds of heroes: Madam, you are clearly a strong person. May I ask if you know your name?"

"I?"

The girl hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to give her name.

"Altria Pendragon."

"Just a knight."

That's way too short. No, wait!

"Pendragon?"

Before coming to this other world, 'News King' had done his homework.

This word means 'dragon' and 'supreme leader' in Welsh.

There is only one company that dares to use this surname, and that is:
"Excuse me, are you a member of the Camelot royal family?"

After a few seconds of silence, the girl finally answered.

"If you're referring to the Camelot dynasty that ruled Britain, then:"

"I am its last king."

King Arthur? !

Yes, Artoria.

Isn't it just a female transliteration of Arthur? The male transliteration is Arthur!
Looking at the serious and earnest female knight in front of him, News King's beak twitched, but no sound came out.

Well, at least for now, aside from gender, this female knight's personality seems to fit the legends?
