A person in Tokyo becomes a demon god

Chapter 291 The So-Called 'Hero'

Meguro Ward
This is in the early stages of a supernatural arrival.

The area once suffered a supernatural disaster called "Night Parade of One Hundred Demons," which resulted in nine out of ten houses being deserted: even residents who did not die from the supernatural disaster fled.

However, in just six months, the area was fully occupied again: people from other regions flocked to Tokyo.

In the event of a supernatural disaster, Tokyo, as the largest city in the island nation, would at least have a stronger defense.

In fact, that's how it should be.

But now——

"Monsters are swarming from Shibuya?"

"How could this happen? It's daytime!"

Noticing the live stream on the billboard, pedestrians on the street stopped and looked up in surprise.

"Never mind that, just run!"

Even without the Metropolitan Police Department's notification, in modern society where everyone has a mobile phone, many fearless individuals would livestream or post on social media while fleeing. News of another 'Night Parade of One Hundred Demons' in Nakano Ward quickly spread throughout Tokyo and even the world.

In an instant, countless people rushed out of high-rise buildings and ordinary detached houses in a panic, like ants being scalded with boiling water.

There's no way around it; the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons is a supernatural disaster with special 'non-physical characteristics'.

No matter how tall the buildings or how armored vehicles they are, they cannot withstand it.

Can only run!
In theory, with enough courage, ordinary people can also deal with this 'monster'.

However, when faced with an overwhelming horde of monsters, how many people can bravely forge ahead?

Heroes are praised by countless people because they are rare—most powerful and wealthy people's first reaction is to protect themselves.

When the monsters flooded into Meguro Ward, and countless people fled in panic:
tap tap tap,

Amidst the rapid sound of horses' hooves,
A man clad in military armor rode up on horseback.

"Monster, prepare to die!"

It was as if this scene had stepped out of a Japanese drama, where a warrior in bright clothes and gleaming armor thrust his spear through the chest of a demon.

Amidst shouts, the young man dressed as a classical warrior exerted force with both arms and suddenly flung the 'ghost' away.

"Konoe Yuuo is here, so stop your arrogance!"

Then, with a flick of his spear, the tip burst forth with points of silver light, and he thrust it towards the ordinary 'monsters' like a storm.

Puff puff puff puff,

Like rain pattering on banana leaves, amidst a dense chorus of piercing sounds, fist-sized holes burst open in the chests of the 'monsters'.

After easily sweeping away a large area, the general on horseback, spear in hand, turned his head.

Where are the men of the Konoe family?

This is a young man who looks to be in his early twenties. His eyebrows are sharp like a knife, but too sharp; his nose is like a mountain ridge, but too steep and strong; he wears a polite smile, the curve of which is perfect, and it is an expression that has been practiced countless times to best show his friendliness.

When combined, they give off a sense of inexplicable danger.

"Young Master, please forgive our lateness!"

"The Imperial Guard is here!"

As if they had rehearsed it a thousand times, as soon as the 'military general' finished speaking, groups of men in black suits rushed out from the streets and alleys nearby.

They all carried short swords and had white bandages tied around their heads with the words "Guards" written on them.

Hundreds of men rushed over and stood silently behind the mounted general.

A sense of gloom and oppression washed over me!

These people all had guns hanging from their waists.

The reason I didn't draw my gun was simply because I didn't need to.

"very good,"

Riding a tall horse, the young man, clad in armor but without a helmet, surveyed the surroundings with satisfaction before his gaze fell upon the fleeing citizens.

A flash of disdain crossed his eyes, and the young man raised the spear in his hand.

"Fellow citizens, please do not panic!"

"We, the Konoe family, will take care of any disasters that the Metropolitan Police Department doesn't handle; and we'll also take care of any disasters that the Metropolitan Police Department does handle!"

"As long as we're here, we won't let you get hurt—"

After saying that, the man pulled on the reins and turned the horse around.

"Guardsmen, charge with me!"

"charge!"

"charge!"

"charge!"

These burly men in black suits and white turbans raised their knives and shouted, and in an instant, a forest of knives rose up, their morale truly soaring.

tap tap tap,

And it wasn't just about shouting slogans. As the self-proclaimed "Heroic Guardian" charged towards the monster horde, a long spear darted left and right, actually going against the current and carving a path through the center of the black tide. The members of the Konoe family also rushed forward, their short swords thrusting fiercely, engaging the monsters in a fierce battle.

Thanks to this 'young master's' charge, the monster tide was actually pushed back.

? !
Witnessing this scene, those who were preparing to flee stopped in their tracks.

"The Konoe family? What kind of family is that?"

"Huh? You're from out of town, aren't you?"

There was an introduction from a Tokyo 'local' who was proud to share it.

"The Konoe family is a true thousand-year-old noble family, descended from the Fujiwara family. Historically, they have produced..."

"Even in modern times, there have been three prime ministers."

As he spoke, he looked longingly at the men in black suits who formed a line and pushed the monster tide back with 'Konoe Yuu-o's' as the arrow, his envy undisguised.

"It's decided."

"I want to join the Konoe family too!"

As times become increasingly chaotic, many large companies and conglomerates have begun to cultivate 'samurai' again.

Even the employees in their company regularly take time to practice, and when it comes down to it, they can form a small 'army'.

It has a certain shady character in the construction industry: as everyone knows, those in the real estate business are almost all corrupt. When something happens, they just drag the workers on the construction site into it. These workers are both brave and daring, and they are also "cheap". They are satisfied with just a little money, and even if they die, they can blame it on a work injury.

It wasn't just wishful thinking; seeing the crisis averted, many men even took the initiative to grab weapons and run towards the 'front line'.

"Young Master Konoe, let us join the battle!" "We can fight too—"

Ah, a bunch of mortals.

"very good,"

The young man who turned around nodded slightly.

"You are all fine men of this island nation, so let us work together to quell this supernatural disaster!"

"kill!"

With a flick of his spear, he tore a group of 'monsters' in half.

It turned into countless plumes of black smoke and dissipated.

"Kill!"

"Young Master of the Imperial Guard, peerless!"

All of this was faithfully recorded by a supernatural reporter in a nearby high-rise building and broadcast live throughout the entire island nation.

"I never expected the Konoe family to actually step forward."

While broadcasting live, the supernatural reporter, codenamed 'Flying Squirrel,' muttered to himself.

When he received the news from the Konoe family, he was somewhat skeptical: after all, these powerful figures in the island nation were all afraid of death, so how could they possibly do something so thankless? But to his surprise, the Konoe family actually stepped up.

Moreover, the eldest son of the family was personally leading the team. Even if they used the 'super injection' to become superhumans, the risks were still very high.

"I underestimated these powerful and wealthy people."

However, in reality, all of this was orchestrated by the Konoe family themselves!

Great, as long as I pretend to break through my strength under 'pressure', everything will fall into place.

While the 'fierce battle' raged on, Konoe Yuu's gaze discreetly swept across the top of the high-rise building: News King's subordinates were broadcasting live from there.

Now he's playing the role of a 'brave and fearless' hero, saving the people from dire straits—as for where those straits came from? Don't ask!

This is really troublesome.

Konoe Yuu-o felt utterly disgusted by his father's plans.

However, he also understood that although he had obtained the inheritance of 'Satsuma Hayato', he was not invincible in Tokyo.

He first donned the cloak of 'justice' to openly develop his power while secretly increasing his strength: one day, he would trample those supernatural masters, even great Yin-Yang masters and gods, under his feet!
"Everyone, follow me!"

While not exactly a bright person, Konoe Isao has one redeeming quality: he listens to advice.

Since his father made him 'act' like this, he should play the role of 'hero' well, including the one that caused Takumi Oshima to go berserk.

It's a pity we can't kill that guy now.

We must proceed step by step.

When the time is right, I will use my 'breakthrough strength' to kill that guy and be greeted with the cheers of the people: just thinking about it is interesting.

"A supernatural disaster has occurred in Nakano Ward?"

As the red-clad ninja sped through the skyscrapers, he pressed his earpiece.

"Yes, Uncle Fujikito, it's a supernatural disaster similar to the old 'Night Parade of One Hundred Demons'."

Yuka's voice came through the headset.

"Based on the information I've gathered online, the situation is under control."

?

The Metropolitan Police Department has fallen apart. Who is responsible?

"That's right, the area to the north is Itabashi Ward, and Ms. Inoue Kaoru has taken action."

A large number of "good girls" were mobilized, and even without firearms, they easily held back the monster tide with their fists and feet; they even began to clear out the monsters and invade the Nakano area.

Kaoru Inoue may not be able to beat her older sister, but that doesn't mean she's weak.

Ordinary D-class supernatural beings are no match for her, let alone these monster hordes that bully ordinary humans by relying on their 'immortality'.

"The Tokugawa family also set out from Setagaya Ward and established a defensive line in Suginami Ward to stop the monsters' westward expansion."

The Tokugawa family has learned of someone's plan to establish a nation from 'Mitsuko'.

At times like these, one should naturally try to make a good impression.

In any case, given the personalities of those three, they care more about their feelings for each other and have no interest in ruling mortals: in the end, this kind of "hard work" will still fall on the shoulders of the Tokugawa family.

With a goal, you will naturally have motivation.

"In the southern Meguro district, the Konoe family is leading the defense."

"The Konoe family?"

Upon hearing this term, Kenji Fujikido, who was speeding through the city, was somewhat surprised.

"I never imagined that these powerful and wealthy people would do such a thing."

Rushing to the front lines of disaster?

It seems I was too arbitrary before, thinking that all the powerful and wealthy were bad people.

"By the way, there is a wealthy businessman who called on everyone to resist supernatural disasters in the name of the 'Hero Association'."

"This association will provide the 'heroes' with operating funds, various weapons, and medical support."

As the old saying goes: life will find a way.

Even without the Metropolitan Police Department, numerous forces intervened and confined the "Night Parade of One Hundred Demons" to Nakano Ward.

After this battle, new forces and new 'heroes' will surely emerge.

"Uncle, should we wait for the other factions to enter Nakano Ward together?"

The girl, living in an apartment in Adachi Ward, suggested...
With other forces acting together, security will be greatly improved.

"No,"

Kenji Fujikido, who was leaping and bounding through the buildings, refused outright.

"Address the root cause of the disaster as soon as possible."

So that the citizens of Tokyo can have peace and tranquility sooner.

As he said this, the red figure flew over the building where monsters had already appeared.
