A person in Tokyo becomes a demon god

Chapter 47 The Mastermind Revealed (Big Lie)
"No, drone formations are disappearing en masse!"

"It can't be stopped, not even by a nuclear explosion."

One after another, suicide drones exploded in the air, turning into clusters of fireworks;
The samurai, enveloped in a raging storm, could create a tornado with a single swing of his sword to annihilate a large number of these high-tech weapons.

Wind-Wind Fruit + Sickle-Weasel Fruit
"Too weak, too weak."

The samurai continued to ride the wind.

"In the eyes of adults, a mere drone is nothing more than a mosquito or a fly."

The golden spine sword in his hand was used as a straight man, but what the Heian samurai meant by 'too weak' was:

"You're wrong, Mikoto."

"I mean, my current strength is too weak."

Relying on Devil Fruit abilities, they seem to be 'invincible', but in reality, they are incredibly fragile.

If the main body is exposed, let alone the railgun; if caught off guard, laser weapons would be enough to take down Akizuki Ritsu, a standard glass cannon.

At that time, the only option will be to activate the Yomi Yomi no Mi (Yellow Spring Fruit) and walk the world in spirit form.
No, I don't want that kind of thing!

"Techniques are ultimately just external paths; the strength of one's own body is the foundation of everything."

The three admirals of the Navy were known as 'monsters' in their youth; each of them was capable of punching warships and cleaving mountains with their swords: it was precisely because of their strong physiques that they were able to unleash the full potential of their Devil Fruits.

Otherwise, Caribou, who had just entered the new world, thought he was invincible because of his Logia-type ability, and was instantly killed by someone with a single powerful punch.

Today was just an experiment with the Devil Fruit's abilities; to call it invincible is still a long way off. The kind of invincibility that Akizuki Ritsu wants is at least being able to withstand a nuclear bomb head-on without messing up her hairstyle.

As they spoke, the warrior had already flown above the Michael Monsoor, which was turning around and 'running wildly'.

Zumwalt-class destroyer,

America's new generation of multi-purpose land attack Aegis ships.

It boasts cutting-edge technologies that surpass contemporary standards and are newly developed, encompassing everything from hull design and electric propulsion to command, control, communication, network communication, detection and navigation, and weapon systems.

Possessing a submarine-like stealth design and employing a combat command system called the 'Integrated Defense System,' all weapons, aided by powerful AI, can coordinate perfectly, much like human fingers. They can unleash a barrage of missiles and naval guns at multiple targets in a short period, creating a concentrated strike.
but:

"Shit!!"

"Radar cannot lock onto the target! Cannot lock onto the target!"

"The Phalanx Close-In Weapon System has achieved maximum offensive output; the target has not taken any damage! I repeat."

Inside what is touted as the world's most advanced destroyer, American personnel at all levels were in complete chaos: this high-tech marvel, which, if lost during World War II, could have wiped out a fleet without a scratch, was being chased and forced to flee for its life by a mere 'person'.

The problem is that even the most advanced Zumwalt-class destroyers only have a speed of 30 knots.

Converted to familiar ground speeds, that's 55.56 kilometers per hour.

This speed, for a supernatural being:

What's the difference between crawling and climbing?
brush,

A figure broke through the dense barrage of bullets and landed on the deck.

"Go eat, Mikotomaru."

"Yes, my lord."

The golden spine longsword flew out, slicing open the destroyer's hatch and flying straight inside. Soon, gunshots and roars could be heard.

Calmness soon returned; the battle, or rather the massacre, was over in just a few minutes.

Once the distance is closed, the drawbacks of a technologically advanced army become glaringly obvious.

"Master, cleaning is complete."

The golden spinal cord blade flew out, gleaming with golden light.

Having just had a hearty meal, the weapon's power has increased even further.
That's right, as a 'Homitz', Tanaka Spinal Sword... no, Mikotomaru, can devour lifespan and soul to 'upgrade' and become stronger.

This is also why someone made the two who gained power fight each other: if they won, they could continue to level up; if they lost, they could be used as weapons to level up—everyone had a 'bright' future.

"It's time to end this,"

Don't be fooled by the samurai's seemingly nonchalant demeanor.
But actually, someone behind the scenes has already started to catch their breath.

Using so many Devil Fruit abilities in a short period of time would consume a lot of stamina: most Devil Fruit abilities consume stamina, the only difference is the amount.

In addition, everyone in the One Piece world is a tank, able to fight for days and nights without a problem, which means that the consumption of Devil Fruit abilities is often not noticeable.

A samurai dressed in Heian period attire took flight, aiming his long sword at the destroyer below.

? ? ! !
What is he going to do?

"Could it be"

As high-ranking officials from America and the island nation stared wide-eyed, a samurai wielded his sword and brought it down.

As he slashed out, the golden longsword in his hand shone brightly, and the lifespan and soul of the 'burning' American soldier began to burn intensely.

The next moment, the golden spine blade, which was originally of normal length, suddenly extended, expanded, and transformed into a 'giant blade' more than 20 meters long. It slashed towards the Zumwalt-class destroyer with a magnificent yet absurd and bizarre posture!

Golden light seeped into the deck, cutting through high-tech composite materials, penetrating the cabins, then the lower structure, and finally the seawater:

Tear————

boom! ! !
The seawater surged into huge white waves tens of meters high, and in the center of the waves was a destroyer broken in two.

The pinnacle of American technology, severed in two?!
Cut in two

Cut in two

Two ends

断、

Watching the footage transmitted back by the drone, showing two pieces of steel slowly sinking in the giant waves, Lieutenant General Thomas at Yokosuka Base twitched his lips a few times, but ultimately remained silent.

Yahweh, what is this?
"Ship-Slaying Blade!"

Inside the Metropolitan Police Department, the superintendents who were also watching the 'live broadcast' gasped in shock.

There is such swordsmanship in reality—no, there already is!
If one could master it, those mere naval fools—

Wonderful!

“This is a declaration,”

After cleaving the American destroyer in two, the Heian period samurai, suspended in mid-air by the wind, slowly spoke. His voice carried in all directions, clearly relayed back by the drones.

“My name is ‘Gou Chen’,”

“Our lord is the 'Lord of a Hundred Ghosts',”

“One day, our Lord will return and rule this world.”

Having said that, the samurai sheathed his golden longsword and pointed it at the warship that was beginning to sink in the whirlpool.

"Those who overestimate their abilities are like this boat!"

After saying that, a strong wind carried him towards the inland areas of the island.

"call--"

At the Yokosuka base,

A collective sigh of relief rang out.

If the enemy comes straight here: what should they use to defend themselves?
Even if there are carrier strike groups docked in the naval port, aren't they all just targets? Neither the 'Super Hornet' nor the 'Lightning II' has any experience dealing with ultra-low-altitude humanoid units.

Today, I was given a second chance at life.

"Contact Director Fujita!"

Lieutenant General Thomas, however, immediately calmed down.
Before leaving, the other party introduced themselves: perhaps we can find out their identity from the island nation.

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.

"Hana, you heard everything."

In the Metropolitan Police Department Inspector General's office, Inspector Fujita adjusted his non-prescription glasses.

"Yes, Director."

"Gou Chen, plus the previous 'benefactor,' it turns out to be him."

Because the term 'noble person' is too common: in island nations, it refers to someone of high status, so the island nation's government was previously baffled.

But now, with 'Gou Chen' revealing his identity, the full name of that 'noble person' is about to be revealed:

"The Nobleman of Heaven".

Tianyi is a celestial deity who emerges from the dwelling of the Jinggui in the year of Jiwei. He holds the Jade Balance to weigh the affairs of heaven and man, and is named Zaiyi.

The most divine is noble; wherever it goes, all evil spirits hide and flee.

Gouchen,
One of the six divine beasts: Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, Black Tortoise, Teng Snake, and Gouchen.

It corresponds to the six internal organs of the human body: heart, lungs, liver, kidneys, spleen, and gallbladder.

Those who could take these two as 'subordinates'

There is only one in the island nation's legend:
"Abe Seimei!"

Abe no Seimei was a representative figure of the Heian period in island Japan.

He was an undefeated master of Onmyoji who never lost a battle, ended the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons, and saw off eight emperors. He was a truly unparalleled Onmyoji who dominated an era—or rather, it is impossible to talk about the profession of Onmyoji without mentioning him.

Because the Tsuchimikado family, who later ruled the official government agency 'Yin-Yang Bureau' in Japan from the Kamakura period to the early Meiji period, were his descendants.

The white-clad Abe and the black-clad Tsuchimikado, who controlled the island nation's thousand-year-old calendar and the way of Yin and Yang, were renowned figures.

During the Edo period, children's folk rhymes included: "I don't know Minamoto no Yoshitsune, but I know Lord Seimei."

In the West, this would be equivalent to his family monopolizing the 'Papal Court' for a thousand years.

Of course, the Onmyo-ryo (the Bureau of Yin and Yang) doesn't have that much power.

However, as those in charge of sacrifices, divination, Yin-Yang philosophy, astronomy, and calendar systems, they were well-off and held a superior position.

However, precisely because of this, during the Meiji Restoration, the Bureau of Yin and Yang was forcibly dissolved: it was stripped of its noble status, its rituals and divination were replaced by Shintoism, and astronomy and calendar studies were assigned to schools, causing the Tsuchimikado family to fall apart.

Now, their family's 'ancestor' has returned!

"No, they were just two subordinates."

Miya Kana sighed.

"Abe no Seimei is most famous for his 'Twelve Shikigami'."

Shikigami are spirits that are commanded by Onmyoji (a Japanese sorcerer). Their power is related to the Onmyoji who controls them, and some shikigami can turn against their masters.

This kind of thing was first created by Abe no Seimei—all Onmyoji are walking the path he pioneered.

"Based on the Five Elements, with auspiciousness and inauspiciousness as the guiding principles."

For example, "Guiren" represents "Earth and Auspiciousness"; while "Gouchen" represents "Earth and Inauspiciousness".

"In addition to the balance of Yin and Yang, they are the Twelve Divine Spirits, also known as the Twelve Divine Generals."

After speaking, Miya Kana looked up at the screen:

America's multi-billion dollar technological military has become wreckage at sea.

The entire dock area in the port has been converted into a place for feeding fish underwater.

All of this was simply because one of the twelve shikigami, 'Gouchen', announced the 'celebration' of its master's imminent return.

"Director, shall I pay a visit to the Kurahashi family?"

Although the Tsuchimikado clan lost their "iron rice bowl" that they had held for a thousand years, it doesn't mean that they were all wiped out.

After all, they were once a powerful family with a thousand-year history, so they still had some dignity. Among them, after the 'Tsuchimikado Taikichi' family split up, they took 'Kurahashi' as their surname and have continued as a member of the nobility to this day; while the main family retained the Tsuchimikado surname.

Meanwhile, those scattered members of the Tsuchimikado clan,
The 'Tsuchimikado Shinto Fellowship Association' was established and still exists in the name of Shinto scholars.

Go ahead, but—

Director Fujita looked at the declaration of the Heian period samurai, Gouchen, on the screen.

One day, our Lord will surely return and rule this world.
Lord Seimei, a man of such refined taste:

Do they also want to dominate the world?

or,

Is there another motive?
