A person in Tokyo becomes a demon god

Chapter 55 Tokyo Battle Royale
tap tap tap,

"What's the situation now?"

As he put on his clothes, Director Fujita strode toward the command room.

The streets were filled with Metropolitan Police Department personnel hurrying along, not even having time to stop and salute the Commissioner.

"Yes,"

The secretary, jogging behind, quickly gave a report.

"Ten minutes ago, a large number of 'nightmare monsters' appeared in Hiramachi 2-chome, Meguro Ward."

"The monster has already spread to surrounding towns such as Yakumo, Nakane, Ookama, and Hobunya, and it won't be long before..."

It will spread to Meguro Ward!

? !
"So fast?"

Pushing open the door to the command center, Director Fujita, dressed in a suit, swept his gaze across the room.

In the command center, a few people were already sitting sparsely; more people kept rushing in from other doors and taking their seats.

One by one, the screens lit up, gradually revealing the situation in various parts of Meguro Ward: the island nation does value 'privacy,' but in the face of a life-or-death crisis, who cares about such things? A large number of cameras quickly informed the Metropolitan Police Department of what had happened.

"These monsters look..."

His abilities are so similar to those of 'Takumi Oshima'?

"What's the situation with Takumi Oshima?"

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh,"

"There's nothing unusual about the Oshima family!"

Miya Hana, who had just rushed over, answered while keeping an eye on the screen.

It cannot be said to be similar.
They're exactly the same!
If she hadn't already contacted her subordinates on the way here, she would have almost thought that Takumi Oshima had gone berserk again.

"The scale is completely different, and the form of the outbreak is not a point-to-point spread, but a simultaneous outbreak in multiple areas."

This is only natural. The middle-aged office worker's Devil Fruit ability was mostly locked by someone, leaving only his dream-making ability. Meanwhile, his clone "Tai Chang" possesses all the abilities of the Mythical Zoan Fruit Kirin, and can completely materialize monsters and physical entities from other people's dreams from a distance.

The fruits consumed by the Celestial Dragons' "Knights of God" are naturally all top-tier.

Now, the entire Meguro district is teeming with nightmare monsters!

These monsters come from those who are already asleep, and they bear the brunt of most of the physical exertion.

Otherwise, given Akizuki Ritsu's current physique, creating tens of thousands of creations in one go would leave him breathless on the spot. Devil Fruits also need to be developed. When Ace first ate the Flame-Flame Fruit, he could only use it to start fires and often burned his own things.

Unless one is already an expert: but clearly, this person is still some distance from being a true 'expert'.

The only way to cheat is to use Devil Fruit abilities.

"So, in other words, a being with similar abilities to Oshima, but even more powerful, is preparing to unleash a 'Night Parade of One Hundred Demons' in Tokyo?"

"Yes, Director—"

Miya Kana pointed to the chaotic scenes on the numerous screens.
strictly speaking,

"The Night Parade of One Hundred Demons has begun."

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.

On the sidewalk of the main street,
"Don't come any closer!!"

The middle-aged office worker collapsed to the ground, repeatedly kicking his legs in an attempt to back away.

However, how could they possibly escape at that speed? Several vicious dogs with human heads on their heads rushed up and began to tear at them.

"No, leave me alone"

Amidst the screams, there were these murmurs.

This is a 'human-faced dog', which is essentially a depiction of the ugly state of those who lost their jobs but were unwilling to go home after the financial collapse of the island nation in the last century; drunk and lying in a garbage dump.

However, now, real 'monsters' are rampaging through the city, speeding through the brightly lit streets and hunting wantonly.

Besides these island nation 'urban ghost stories', there are also many traditional 'hundred ghosts':
A 'tomb raider imp' dressed in white mourning clothes, wearing a tattered straw hat, and with eerie ghostly flames; a 'red tongue' with its lower body hidden in smoke, three eyes side by side on its upper body, and a long tongue sticking out from its blood-red mouth; and a 'paper umbrella demon' with its lower body being human and its upper body being blood dripping from a tattered umbrella.
And there were 'flower cards' pasted on their faces.
Short and ugly, wearing a simple loincloth,

Armed with sticks, hammers, planks, and kites; 'Tenjaku' (demons) of four skin colors: red, blue, yellow, and green.

These traditional demons, some flying and some running, also joined the rampaging ranks.

However, the number is even greater:
"Why are there zombies?!"

A young man ran while breaking down in tears, asking a distraught question.

Behind him, a group of rotting, outstretched, swaying humanoid monsters came staggering after him.

This is just a standard 'zombie'!

Zombie culture is also popular in island nations; the famous 'Lee San Kwang' series is a game made in Japan.

"Aren't zombies good?"

Another companion, carrying his younger sister and running wildly, complained.
"Slow and steady wins the race. Do you really want to see a 'licker'?"

"Brother, over there—"

As soon as she finished speaking, the younger sister on her back pointed.

Everyone turned to look, and on the glass exterior wall of the building next to them, there was a figure that looked like a skinned frog, with its brains exposed on its head and a long tongue wrapped around a severed arm.

A licker?!

This iconic pose sent chills down everyone's spine.

The body, which was originally panting, immediately squeezed out new strength.

Run!

This thing isn't a slow-moving 'zombie'.
If it gets caught and infected... no, looking at the severed arm in its mouth, it probably won't even have a chance to get infected.

Fortunately, the 'licker' was chewing on the arm in its mouth and did not notice the fleeing group: besides, the streets were full of people running around, so it was not so easy to be a target.

As the saying goes, you don't need to outrun the tiger, you just need to outrun your teammates.

"so far so good."

After running several hundred meters, the young man carrying his sister breathed a sigh of relief.

"Just a licker, if it were a 'tyrant'."

"Roar!!!" A tall figure strode out from the crossroads ahead.

It was a monster over two meters tall, with bulging, muscular muscles all over its body—a true demon of muscle! Its heart was exposed on its chest, visibly beating; one arm swelled into a huge claw, and a large eye on its shoulder rolled around.

"A tyrant?!"

A gasp rang out from the fleeing group, immediately attracting the attention of the other side.

???

"This way——"

Fortunately, there was a small alleyway nearby, and the group immediately slipped into it, and then:
"Mako, cover your brother's mouth!"

If this guy keeps talking, who knows what other monsters might come out.

They were considered lucky, or rather, exceptionally determined, to calmly escape the monster. Many more, however, couldn't accept reality.

"Help! Help!"

"It's all an illusion, it won't fool you—click!"

"God, I pray that your kingdom may come, O God!"

The entire Meguro district was in complete chaos, with countless people scrambling out of buildings and fleeing for their lives along the streets: these monsters could inflict 'physical damage' and also had the ability to pass through walls, so hiding in buildings was tantamount to suicide.

All those who are not yet asleep,

Regardless of gender, age, strength, or physical condition, at this moment, everyone must unleash all their potential to escape!

As for those who stay put and pray, sorry, they have neither the Buddha's descent nor the appearance of angels, and they don't even have the 'courage' to run away. They are destined to be eliminated by this era.

Black butterflies fluttered among the concrete jungle, following the chaotic fleeing crowd, picking up ping-pong ball-sized 'orbs of light' from their cold bodies.

The soul, composed of remaining lifespan
At the top of the high-rise building, the woman in black and the child in white watched all of this.

Life lies in movement; to gain strength, a powerful body and a tenacious will are both indispensable, and moreover:

As a large number of black butterflies flew back, they brought with them countless small white orbs that emitted a soft glow.

The scene may seem dreamlike, but the truth is incredibly cruel: these are the souls of hundreds of people!

"These souls are so weak."

The woman in black frowned, clearly displeased.

The Soul-Soul Fruit collects souls to create 'Homies', and in addition to quantity, quality is also required.

The souls of ordinary people can at most create 'Homies' that only know how to flatter flowers, plants, tables, chairs, and benches; to create stronger weapons 'Homies', one needs the soul of a strong person as the core.

In the world of One Piece, her former master, the nun who trafficked people, could only be used to deceive others.

But after falling into the hands of Charlotte Linlin, she immediately became incredibly powerful!

The reason is simple: the con artist nun can't beat a real master.

And this old lady could slaughter a country at the age of five!

The quality of the souls that can be obtained varies drastically.

"My dear sister, this is just how times are."

The white-clad child, 'Tai Chang', shrugged.

"Isn't that why you woke me up?"

This is not simply a killing spree, but a battle royale: the strong survive, the weak perish.

As these powerful beings advance further, they will become the source of the higher-level 'Homitz' planned for someone.

"Look, the island nation's government has also mobilized."

Da da da da,

Woohoo, woohoo, woohoo~~
The sound of helicopter rotors could be heard in the distance, and further away, a long line of police cars, flashing red and blue, were rushing here from all directions.

In fact, whether it's people in helicopters or police cars;
They were all gritting their teeth and trembling, but they had no choice but to come.

Because this is Meguro Ward!

Meguro Ward is bordered to the west by Setagaya, a traditional affluent area.

To the east are the Minato Ward and Chiyoda, and to the north are Shibuya and Shinjuku.

It can be said that although Meguro Ward is not well-known, it is an important transportation hub and also the most densely populated area among the 23 wards of Tokyo.

If we allow this 'supernatural disaster' to spread, it's practically like stabbing Tokyo in the heart: no, it might even mean Tokyo won't exist anymore!

and so:
"Gentlemen, I know you are very scared!"

In the helicopter that flew in, there was an old man, fully armed and wearing a thick blast suit, with a blast shield in front of him: Captain Kitano was giving a pre-battle pep talk.

“I know that you all have parents, wives and children, and are the pillars of your families.”

"but--"

Pointing out the window, looking down from the transport plane window, one can see that brightly lit Tokyo has been transformed into a hellish place where humans and 'ghosts' mingle.

"If we don't fight, who will stop these monsters?"

"Gentlemen, summon your courage and show those monsters what you've got!"

“This is our home!”

"We will never retreat, and there is nowhere to retreat!"

After saying that, the old man clenched his fist and stood up.

"Oh oh oh oh oh!!"

"Kill!"

"Eighteen years later, it's happening again."

A jumble of answers erupted in the cabin, a mixture of anger, helplessness, grief, and despair.

brush,

woohoo~~
As the cabin door opened, a gust of wind rushed in.

"set off!"
