A person in Tokyo becomes a demon god

Chapter 231 Branching Paths and Battles

"Ha, of course we choose the person. Oh dear..."

Bang Bang Bang!
Balmonk raised the 'Dragon-Slaying Holy Sword' in his hand.
He then slammed his sword against Dietrich's "Demon Sword" Exzax, using the blade itself.

This caused Siegfried to clutch his back and groan in pain; strictly speaking, he was a soul attached to the Dragon-Slaying Holy Sword.

Attacking the Holy Sword is equivalent to attacking Siegfried. Meanwhile:
"Oh my gosh, I'm getting excited!"

The 'magic sword' in the hands of the effeminate prince Dietrich has also become 'normal' in length.

"Alright, you two, follow me on the 'treasure' path."

After teaching Siegfried a lesson and getting Dietrich into 'battle mode', Rei walked towards the 'treasure' path without hesitation.

"Stupid woman, what are you doing?"

Siegfried immediately objected, saying, "What's the point of life if there are no virgins?"
"Shut up, you bastard who thinks with his lower body!"

This is the Netherlands, Siegfried's 'hometown': since the 'treasure' route has all sorts of magical items, we should definitely go this way: with Siegfried, a 'local', in the party, we can definitely identify high-value treasures.

Money is of little use, and as for people, it's absolutely forbidden: given Siegfried's personality, he would definitely go all out, and Ling doesn't want to lose face in front of hundreds of thousands of viewers.

Thinking of this, Ling glanced slightly behind her: many people had already secretly followed.

As for News King?
A live broadcast from the sky is enough.

And so, the 'perverted team'—no, I should say the 'prince team'—set off first.

"A treasure? Interesting~~"

Carrying a three-foot-long green sword on her back and wearing a nimble long robe, Mulan, dressed in a cold and aloof 'knight-errant' style, had a slight shift in her gaze.

Perhaps among those treasures lies something that could help kill this Xiongnu king?
"I choose the treasure path, Little Seventeen, what about you?"

"Of course, it's the Treasure Road!"

Wood Spirit #17 raised her hand high. For the same reason, money meant nothing to her, as for people?

She had recruited some decent human subordinates who even helped her research a lot of useful things, which earned her the qualification to participate in the 'Rose Garden Competition'.

If I could obtain a treasure with plant attributes, hehehehe~~
"Let's go."

???

“Wait, wait!”

Attila the Hun, wearing sunglasses, quickly called out to the two.

"What about my opinion?"

"oh,"

Mulan turned her head away indifferently.
"It's obvious without even thinking that you'll choose the 'human' path."

Then trying to find a widow there is utterly stupid; we don't have time to waste on that guy now.

"Hey, hey, hey, I'm your 'king' after all, aren't I?"

Attila's protest lacked any kingly demeanor.
"Yes, but it's two to one."

The noisy 'Hun' team also set off.

"Money, treasures, people."

The imposing Beowulf's gaze fell on the path of 'money'.

"In that case, let's take some gifts back for the children."

His kingdom was a typical frozen wasteland, with scarce resources. Beowulf himself couldn't use the money, but his people needed it.

In fact, the real 'Scandinavian' region is not that cold, because due to the influence of the warm Atlantic current from the Gulf of Mexico, the temperatures in both Norway and Sweden are not low.

But when someone was writing the background, they casually declared that barbarians should live in harsh, cold lands, so...
"Matsumoto-sama, what is your opinion?"

"I have no objection,"

Matsumoto Jinpei was indifferent to money, treasures, and people; they were all external things to him. He believed that by training 'Fishman Karate' to its peak, he could also become a strongman.

"Your Majesty, please allow me to lead the charge."

The young knight stepped forward; he was Vigraf.

The only man who dared to fight alongside Beowulf, braving the 'dragon's might'.

"it is good,"

Beowulf naturally praised and encouraged the bravery of his men.

If he wore pants, he would be the perfect 'king'.

Seeing that even the 'Barbarian Team' had left,

"Let's go too,"

Pegasus gestured towards the three paths.

"You two, what's your choice?"

"I choose money,"

The mature and aloof beauty, Machii Isao, spoke first.
"I need some 'Rheinmetall' to forge a handy weapon."

Choosing the 'treasure' path might indeed lead to encountering finished products like precious swords, but Machii Isao had used a samurai sword his entire life and was already used to it.

Using other weapons, it's no problem to easily defeat weaker opponents; but when facing a truly strong opponent, would you dare to use a weapon you're not familiar with?

Just like esports pros, they don't care what they use to smurf, but when they're actually playing professionally:
They still chose to use their own specialty.

Otherwise, if things go wrong, you'll have nowhere to turn to complain.

"Where is Lady Artoria?"

The female swordsman in blue plate armor shook her head slightly at the question.

"I have no opinion."

She doesn't need money, treasures, or people.

"Okay, we'll choose the money route."

Pegasus hopes for the same outcome. She has always been accustomed to hand-to-hand combat and would not use weapons even if given to her, so it doesn't matter which path she chooses. However, it would be nice to obtain supernatural metal and forge new weapons for Ichika.

In this way, the 'transformation team' has already set off.

As the strong choose their own paths, fewer and fewer people remain in this area.

Those who remained exchanged glances, their expressions revealing something in each other's faces.

I saw the same expression.

"Gentlemen, I propose the formation of an alliance."

A man carrying a long spear and shield spoke first.
"We all know how powerful those great heroes are. Only by uniting can we have a chance of winning."

"You're right, I'll listen to you!"

"Just tell me what to do!"

The shills who had been prepared in the crowd immediately echoed loudly.
The others nodded in agreement: their strength wasn't particularly high; by 'real-world' standards, most would hover around the D- level. Such strength wasn't enough to dominate this competition; they'd only be considered significant figures in villages and towns.

And their goal is also very clear:

Other contestants!
As these people set off, the elimination rounds of the Rose Garden Competition officially began.

Under the watchful eyes of hundreds of thousands of live spectators and billions of people in the real world: the chapter of epic heroes begins to be written.

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.

"Amazing!"

Itabashi Ward, Tokyo.

In the Akizuki mansion, Inoue Kaori, who learns about everything that happened in the 'other world' through the news king's live broadcast, can't help but sigh.

“Shrink people out of thin air, construct mountains and rivers, and let many heroes compete in the arena.”

"Is this kind of tactic really just that of a clown?"

So far, the only mysterious organizer has appeared: the 'Joker'. However, his ability to easily deal with the 'Wild Hunt' and set up this 'stage' has opened the eyes of the powerful and wealthy in the real world.

It truly lives up to its reputation as an 'other world' rife with myths and legends.

"Who knows?"

Knowing full well what was going on, Qiu Yuelu picked up her book.

"Perhaps it's an incarnation of some Norse god?"

In any case, all of these things were decided on his whim: who could have imagined that the 'Otherworld Tournament,' which attracted the attention of billions of people around the world, was actually unfolding in the book in his hands.

"Money, treasures, and people~~"

"Wow, what a grand gesture! Can you bring back people from another world?"

Five little figures floated around Kaori and joined the discussion.

"It might work?"

"If you can get in, you can get out naturally."

Those were all people 'created' by Akizuki Ryu herself. Apart from certain special great heroes, the memories of the others were simply wiped clean. As for what skills they possessed?
Even Qiuyue Lu needs to be investigated, but it doesn't matter. As the saying goes, when a group of children gather together, a leader will emerge.

When these people come together, the 'intelligent' will also emerge as the ruling class.

Then everyone changes their 'identity' and continues living.

He also has a healthy body.

This is a profit!

If the people from another world knew the truth, they would definitely want to chop off someone's head.
Unfortunately, they had neither the knowledge nor the power to find out.

Under someone's ability, they are playing their own role.

As the crowd dispersed, Nozomi Tenma, Isao Machii, and Artoria embarked on the path of 'money'.

At Pegasus's suggestion, the three of them and 'Beowulf's' team chose different paths: the king's 'three-sword style' was simply too unbearable to look at, and none of the three in the team wanted to face him.

"Huh? This is."

Soon, the three people in the forest stopped.

What appeared before them was a bizarre monster five meters tall, with the head of a chicken, the neck of a snake, wings, and covered in scales.

Five meters may not seem tall, but the famous Tyrannosaurus Rex only had a head height of about 5.5 meters: that is to say, this 'snake-chicken beast' has a size similar to that of a Tyrannosaurus Rex.

If you put it together with Tyrannosaurus Rex, it's a complete massacre—meaning Tyrannosaurus Rex would be massacred.

Chicken Snake: Basilica
This thing comes from the second level of Impel Down, the Beast Hell in the One Piece world.

It's important to know that the second level holds pirates with bounties between 2500 million and 5000 million; for example, Mr. 3 under Crocodile. The fact that the Cockatoo can feed on these pirate executives speaks volumes about its strength.

but--

Pfft

A silver light flashed suddenly, and before the beast could even display any of its power, the huge chicken head crashed down.

The chicken-snake beast, capable of feeding on pirates with bounties in the tens of millions, was instantly killed!

"A beautiful strike,"

Artoria offered praise to Machii Isao, who had beheaded the monster with a single stroke.

"It's nothing,"

Having exchanged a few blows with her, Machii Isao naturally understood just how strong this female knight was.

"If it were you, you would be even more efficient."

After saying that, Machii Isao glanced at the knife in his hand with displeasure.

This knife is a high-tech product forged by the island nation's government, but unfortunately it can no longer keep up with its capabilities, and it requires extreme caution to use.

"Gentlemen, this is probably what money is."

Pegasus wanted to go forward and saw a treasure chest tied to the back of the chicken-snake beast with an iron chain.

"Is this what 'money' is?"

"It seems the organizers are quite thoughtful."

As Tianma gathered his 'qi' in his palm, he sliced open the treasure chest with a chop, revealing its contents:

Glittering gold coins!
Although the treasure chest wasn't very big, it was about the size of a shoebox, and it was full of brand-new gold coins. A quick glance revealed at least several hundred of them.

In the real world, due to the return of the 'supernatural era,' the price of gold has soared. In addition, someone sent out clones to secretly 'take' a lot from the vaults of various countries, making the value even more exorbitant.

In this other world, gold is the highest-level currency.

but--

"It's ordinary gold,"

With a casual pinch, the gold coin in his hand transformed into a twisted and deformed Pegasus of Hope, and he shook his head slightly.

Ordinary money—means little to them.

"Ladies,"

Just then, a few frivolous voices rang out.

"Since it's just 'ordinary' gold, could you kindly part with it and let us have it?"

As he said this, several soldiers holding weapons and assuming an attack stance surrounded him.

"you,"

Artoria raised an eyebrow, but was stopped by Pegasus, who had stood up.

"Let me do it."
