A person in Tokyo becomes a demon god

Chapter 299 The King's Feast

"What, a sea king?"

In another world, the grand arena of the Netherlands once again greets the sunrise.

Meanwhile, the "News King," having just woken from a nap, heard news from his subordinates: a "Night Parade of One Hundred Demons" had broken out in Tokyo, but was resolved by two "passing heroes." Giant monsters called "Sea Kings" had appeared in the open sea, their flesh possessing the property of enhancing physical abilities.
"So many things happened at the same time."

Rubbing the bird's face, News King felt a little regretful.

Even when the major event of the 'biohazard crisis' broke out in America occurred, he, the 'King of News,' was not present.

His supernatural reporters were only at the E-level, so scaling walls and leaping across rooftops was no problem for them. But ultimately, they lacked his ability to soar through the skies, and they failed to broadcast these events live in time, truly unworthy of the title 'King of News'.

"You all set off immediately to work on a special report."

News King, determined to expose everything about the 'supernatural era', gave instructions.

"Whether it's 'Resident Evil,' 'Night Parade of One Hundred Demons,' or 'Sea Monster,' everyone must know about it!"

He hadn't forgotten that the reason 'Your Excellency' had granted him power was to allow him to reveal everything about the supernatural world to ordinary people. Although News King didn't know the significance of doing so, it was what he was doing anyway, so there was no reason for him to refuse.

"That's it, my match is about to begin!"

The cheers outside made 'News King' cut off communications and fly away.

Since being robbed on the road, he has become much more cautious: his flying ability is certainly overpowered, but if he is blocked on the ground, he will be doomed.

Can sea monster meat improve physical fitness?
When he got back, he tried it too.

Hua Hua Hua——

As I flew out of the room, the enormous sound echoed in my ears.

This is the sound wave formed by the applause and cheers of 100,000 spectators: because the great heroes have made their appearance.

Welcome to the Rose Garden Arena!

The host is still the 'Joker,' who is raising his hand in the ring:

"First, there's the foreign warrior, Gou Chen, who decisively defeated his opponent in yesterday's match!"

A warrior dressed in Heian period attire stood calmly on the arena. For him, this tournament was nothing more than a 'test': to test whether his skills were up to par.

That's right, Gou Chen is also a clone remotely controlled by someone: As the supernatural world has developed to this point, apart from 'Nobleman' and 'Gou Chen', all other beings have been secretly replaced by someone with high-level Homites, along with various Devil Fruit abilities, and one person has single-handedly carried out the transformation of a world.

For this competition, someone even sent out a third clone, the 'Joker'.

Of course, to others, this is just a sign of the return of the 'mythical age'.

Clang, clang, clang,
On the other side, amidst the rustling of armor, a blonde, blue-eyed female knight also made her appearance.

"Oh, oh, oh, now it's time for—"

The Joker raised his hand and gestured to the other side:
"The cornerstone of Camelot, the red dragon of Britain; the forger of the Round Table, the eternal flame of knights; the wielder of the sword in the stone, the one blessed by the Lady of the Lake; the one who slew the lowly king, the one who ended the Saxon invasion; the light of victory in the twelve battles, the prophesied son of Avalon; the guiding star of the Holy Grail War, the supreme ruler of the united islands."

After rattling off a long list of 'great achievements', the Joker finally took a deep breath:

"The Queen of Britain: Artoria Pendragon!"

slap slap slap,

"Pendragon—"

"Knight King!"

Thunderous applause and deafening cheers erupted, a stark contrast to the 'unfamiliar' Gou Chen; this man was a world-renowned figure.

The sound waves from the entire arena came in waves, leaving Pegasus Hope speechless.

"It seems Aya is quite popular."

"The strong deserve the respect of all."

Holding the broken 'Zanmei-maru', Machii Isao remained calm, clearly having recovered from the blow of defeat.

By wrapping 'Wei Dou' around a weapon, it can be enhanced into a divine weapon: Gou Chen has already pointed out the path to the future for him—which not only did not discourage Machii Isao, but made him overjoyed.

Because there are even higher peaks of swordsmanship waiting for him to climb.

"The strong are meant to be surpassed!"

Pegasus Nozomi nodded slightly at the fervent fighting spirit of his 'comrade' beside him.

"Um,"

"That's what makes it interesting."

Both of them were true 'martial artists': they never considered being afraid of others being stronger than themselves; for them, it was good to have strong people around.

Because only in that way can we have the goal and motivation to surpass and defeat.

"Woman, I see confusion in your eyes."

On the arena, Gou Chen slowly spoke.

"This kind of battle is not exactly enjoyable."

"Feel sorry,"

Artoria did not refute, but instead apologized sincerely.

"To fight with this mentality is indeed disrespectful to Your Excellency, because—"

The girl in military uniform replied that because she pulled out the 'Sword in the Stone,' her appearance was forever frozen at the age of 15. This was an ability that countless people dreamed of, but for her, it was more like a curse.

“I have come here to seek the ‘way to be a king’.”

? !
As soon as she said that,
The entire arena fell silent.

The Way of Kingship?

For most viewers, the king is an object of admiration, a respected figure, and a target of fear. In the quiet of the night, or when they see children wearing wooden crowns and playing around, they may have the fantasy of 'How wonderful it would be if I were the king.'

That was ultimately just a fantasy, so everyone was astonished to hear the King of Britain say such a thing.

What kind of 'way to be king' does a dignified knight king pursue?
“I used to think that only by handling affairs without bias and punishing enemies without favoritism could one be a qualified ‘king’.”

The girl leaned on her long sword, her eyes lowered.

For the sake of Britain, she acted cautiously and never revealed any emotion, but in the end, she was only rewarded with the words of her knight Tristan: 'King Arthur doesn't understand people.'

Tristan's true intention was to express his heartache for King Arthur: his impartiality and honesty, devoid of any human emotions or selfish desires.

However, when these words reached the ears of the other knights, they confirmed the 'fact' of the king's cold-blooded ruthlessness.

"My fate proves that I was not a worthy king."

The girl, who readily admitted her defeat, looked around the grand arena.

"So, what is the way of the king?"

【They're here! They're here!】

[A king's feast, indeed, there's no escaping it.]

[That's normal, after all, our king is truly heartbroken and has begun to doubt his own path.]

What kind of answers will these 'kings' give?

In the news king's live stream, the barrage of comments was already dense: This king of England is very similar to the character in a certain game in Japan, and now it seems that their personalities are also very similar - both are lost and have denied their past.

"Ha ha ha ha!!"

The quiet audience erupted in laughter. Floating behind Ling was 'Siegfried': his name was Prince of the Netherlands, but he was actually the king.

He only accepted the title of prince to give face to his brother-in-law, the King of Burgundy.

"Does this need to be said?"

The man, with his arms outstretched and only his upper body remaining, announced.

"He who destroys everything is king!"

"There's no point in dwelling on this; let's get to work!"

Snapped,

As Siegfried was making his declaration, a hand grabbed the back of his head from behind.

"shut up!"

Bang!
He exerted force with his palm, pressing Siegfried down.

He was slammed heavily into the ground before he could finish his absurd statement.

After covering his palm with 'Wei Dou', Rei was able to do things like 'grabbing ghosts with his hands'.

"This idiot only thinks with his lower body; don't listen to his nonsense."

After smashing Siegfried into the audience, Rei calmly clapped her hands.

"Should we replace thinking with instinct?"

Even so, Artoria on the ring seemed lost in thought.

Is this the way of kingship of Siegfried, the great hero who slays dragons?
"The Way of the King,"

Beside him stood the Italian prince, Dietrich, with one arm crossed over his chest and the other casually outstretched.

"Why not leave that kind of thing to someone who can govern the country well?"

He was also the king of Italy.

However, his uncle usurped the throne, but with the support of his friends and soldiers, he fought his way back to the capital and reclaimed the throne.

Only after everything calmed down did he realize that his friends and soldiers who had supported him had fallen on their way there.

Ironically, his uncle actually did a good job.

This caused Dietrich great distress:

But the pain he experienced was replaced by an indescribable pleasure!
How could someone in such a situation possibly lead the country?

So he chose to exile himself.

"Choose to escape?"

Hearing this answer,

The blonde, blue-eyed girl in a blue battle robe and silver armor lowered her eyes.

In a sense, she also chose to 'escape': if, if she hadn't pulled the 'sword in the stone' that day, would the tragedy of the future have been avoided?

"Your Excellency Dietrich,"

On the other side of the audience, Beowulf, the King in the North, with his arms crossed and a gentlemanly demeanor, spoke.

"The king should reveal everything to the people!"

"I never consider myself a perfect person. When faced with a powerful enemy, I will also call for help from my subordinates."

This burly man swept through the competition with unparalleled skill.

He carelessly exposed his shortcomings.

"The king is someone who laughs, drinks, fights, and even faces defeat with his warriors."

"Lord Beowulf, you are a true king."

Artoria greatly admired Beowulf: "Well, it would be even better if he wore trousers."

To reveal everything to everyone. Perhaps, that's what she's missing?

To maintain the prestige of the King of Britain, Artoria disguised herself as a man and froze her heart. This led to her ill-fated marriage to Griffith, Lancelot's affair with the Queen, and even the betrayal of her 'son' Mordred.

If only she could be more frank.
"No, no!"

Another voice rang out from the opposite stands.

"The so-called king is a lone wolf."

Attila the Hun casually shook his finger.

"Hunt everything, plunder everything, trample everything, make everyone hate you, fear you, and fawn over you!"

"The moment you show signs of exhaustion is the moment of your death!"

This is his way of being a king.

???

"Uncle Attila, is this really you?"

Even Wood Spirit No. 17 couldn't help but complain that in the few days they'd spent together, all this guy did was play with married women: it had absolutely nothing to do with the 'lone wolf way' he talked about.

"No, Little Seventeen."

This time, Mulan, carrying a long sword, surprisingly didn't argue.

"This man is just that kind of person."

what?
Is that so?

Mumei No. 17 shook her head after glancing at the burly man in sunglasses who was giving a thumbs-up and laughing, saying things like "Mulan understands me best."

incredible.

"The King's Way of Devouring Everything."

Artoria shook her head slightly at this person's statement.

"I'm sorry, but I cannot agree."

There are many kings with this kind of personality: but the strongest among them is this 'Hun King'.

After all, Rome, which represented Western civilization, was utterly humiliated by him, receiving money and women in return.

"The Way of Kingship?"

Finally, Gou Chen raised his golden longsword on the arena.

"I don't understand this kind of thing, but—"

"Once you've decided on a goal, stick to it and never regret it, no matter what you encounter."

This is his, or rather 'someone's', way of being king.

"Come on, let's begin."
