I simultaneously traverse countless worlds

Compared to the affairs of Mizuki Shiranui and Igawa Asagi, Dragon Demon Li Mo has also been busy these past few days. He has reorganized the forces under the Dark Star Group, and those administrative managers and subordinate security companies have been given the [Spark Seed] in key positions and at the grassroots level, making his Dark Star Group a monolithic entity. He has also greatly strengthened his control over the yakuza organizations and liaisons with Japan, China, America, and other countries.

Without a doubt, Dragon Demon Li Mo had no intention of fully trusting his current base of power, nor those partners who claimed to be cooperating but actually had other ideas from time to time. He directly used the control ability of the [Seed of the Extraordinary] to reorganize his Dark Star Group. As for those who controlled Japan, Ming Dynasty, and America, they also felt no psychological pressure.

It wasn't that Dragon Demon Li Mo thought that the human nations and hidden demons of the Kiss of Contract world might have noticed the detection methods used by the [Seed of the Extraordinary] to control the other party. He wouldn't even mind directly taking control of the entire Neon world instead of just consolidating his own base for now. The reason was the good habit he had developed in the Demon Realm: he was still very careful in his actions.

Now that Dragon Demon Li Mo has consolidated his base and strengthened his power and subordinates, he has set his sights on a previously unfriendly target, preparing to bring Mizuki Shiranui and the others to eliminate this intended target!

………………

"This time, our target is a powerful monster that has been hiding in Tokyo for a long time. Based on the information we have so far, it should be a vampire lord!"

"If my information is correct, this vampire lord's name is Edwin. He is a demon lord who fled to the human world when the Tokyo Demon World passage opened more than ten years ago. According to the classification, his strength is undoubtedly that of an S-class demon, which can be said to be an extremely powerful demon lord!"

"However, its strength must have been significantly damaged during the Tokyo Demon World Passage incident, and it chose to lie low due to fear of weapons from all sides..."

A few days later, in a secret underground conference room at the Dark Star Group headquarters, Dragon Demon Li Mo looked at several beautiful women, including Mizuki Shiranui and Igawa Asagi, whose faces were very serious, and slowly began to explain the targets he was going to target this time.

Edwin, the vampire lord!

This is naturally one of the bosses in the original "Taimanin" storyline, but in this mixed world of Kiss of Contract, it is still the top boss whose true form is hidden in Tokyo, even stronger than the power that Dragon Demon Li Mo previously possessed.

The reason is very simple. To roughly describe it using the demon classification system in the original "Kiss of the Contract" storyline, D-rank demons are trash that can be dealt with with light weapons, C-rank demons are low-level demons, B-rank demons are mid-level demons, A-rank demons are high-level demons, and S-rank demons are beyond the limits of high-level demons. In the demon world, they would be different demon lords, which can be converted into mobile miniature mushroom eggs-level weapons of mass destruction.

Of course, if it's just about strength, the humans in the Kiss of Contract mixed world still have ways to deal with it. Just look at the later stages of the Kiss of Contract anime in Belon City, where they used a space-based satellite laser cannon, a weapon that had already been phased out of active service, to deal with Ogata Kanna, who was identified as an S-class demon (even though it didn't hurt her in the slightest). This shows that the human nations are not without ways to deal with S-class demons. Even if an S-class demon is killed by human high-tech weapons, it's just a matter of paying a price.

Unfortunately, it seems that the vampire lord Edwin learned his lesson from the Tokyo Demon Realm Passage incident and has maintained a low profile as a vampire for more than a decade. If it weren't for the fact that Dragon Demon Li Mo had previously established the Dark Star Group and gathered a lot of power, and that he knew the general plot of "Taimanin", he might have really overlooked it.

Currently, Vampire Lord Edwin is Tokyo's largest underground gladiatorial arena and slave smuggler. He has also won over many powerful figures in Japan by transforming himself into a half-vampire. It's safe to say that if Dragon Demon Li Mo hadn't previously established connections between the Ming Dynasty and America, and if they weren't on the same track as forces controlled by each other, he would likely have faced attacks from the other side much earlier, instead of secretly planting spies and occasionally causing trouble for them.

As for Edwin, the vampire lord, he certainly has considerable power, but none of his professions are exactly respectable. However, as a native lord of the demon realm, he has risen to become a powerful figure in the Japanese underworld in just over a decade. His abilities are truly remarkable, showcasing the demon's talent in this area. It is said that his human trade and trade in demonized creatures have even reached other countries such as America.

Dragon Demon Li Mo was not surprised by this. When he transmigrated to the modern world before, it was said that the new era of human trade had already become public in places like America and Europe. If this were the mixed world of Kiss of Contract, there probably wouldn't be much change in this regard. In fact, it could be said that the trade of demons and demonized creatures had already become public!

"How could this be? These guys are using debt to force bankrupt individuals to fight in underground arenas? And making them fight monsters with melee weapons?"

Upon seeing the partial information provided by the Dragon Demon Li Mo, Igawa Sakura, who possessed a strong sense of justice, almost lost her temper. She naturally knew what kind of dangerous creatures demons were; even ordinary people with guns might not be able to handle them, and deploying them with melee weapons would be tantamount to murder. If even one out of a hundred ordinary people survived, it would be a blessing from the gods.

"Not only that, the vampire lord Edwin's forces also occasionally kidnap young and beautiful girls or boys, buying and selling them as slaves. They even kidnap low-level demons and demonized creatures, and their smuggling networks extend overseas. It is said that the vampire lord also uses this to select his prey..."

Sharon, who had received education from the Tianxing Church about the dangers of demons and monsters, was not surprised by Igawa Sakura's surprised attitude. She reviewed some of the intelligence information in her hands and keenly noticed the key point. She only mentioned it subtly and did not continue when she found that Igawa Sakura did not understand.

Not only Sharon, but also Mizuki Shiranui and Igawa Asagi tacitly refrained from revealing why a vampire lord from the demon world had such a large influence in Tokyo. Aside from unfortunate individuals who went bankrupt due to debt and the occasional kidnapped teenagers, low-level demons and demonized creatures would become commodities in this special trade and be shipped out of Japan. The reasons under these circumstances are self-evident. However, the unspoken truth is too cruel for an innocent girl like Igawa Sakura.

At the very least, Igawa Asagi, Mizuki Shiranui, and Sharon all knew that many demon churches killed and sacrificed demons for power, lifespan, youth, and a series of other things. For a vampire lord, there were many ways to get those old immortals who held power in Japan to cooperate willingly. Even the Dragon Demon Li Mo used some rather unconventional methods at the beginning to develop the power he had built up.

For example, extracting the life force of certain death row inmates and scum of the underworld and fusing it into tiny grains of "blood crystals" could prolong the lifespan of those immortal beings, which allowed the great demon Li Mo to gain a foothold and successfully develop his power...

"That's right! So our target for this operation is Edwin, the vampire lord hiding in the underground arena. We must eliminate him!"

Hearing Igawa Sakura and Sharon's words, Longmo Li Mo unconsciously recalled his past actions and felt that he was at most more principled than the vampire lord Edwin. After glancing at the beautiful women with a slightly guilty look, he directly stated his plan. Igawa Asagi, Mizuki Shiranui, and the others did not object. Even though they knew the danger was extremely great, they did not believe that Longmo Li Mo would rashly go to his death.

However, looking at Dragon Demon Li Mo, Igawa Asagi felt that she should remind him. After all, as the current leader of the former Anti-Demon Ninja, she really understood what an S-class demon was. It was a terrifying existence that could destroy a small country!

……

"Mo, Mo-jun, are you really going to face an S-class vampire lord head-on?"

A little later, when she arrived at Longmo Li Mo's office, she saw that Mizuki Shiranui, whose face looked rosy and alluring, was walking out. After giving her a "reassuring" gesture, she stepped into the office and looked at Igawa Asagi, who was still a little unaccustomed to being with Longmo Li Mo, and asked.

"Of course, otherwise do you expect those old immortals who were bought off by the vampire lord Edwin?"

Faced with Igawa Asagi's crucial question, Dragon Demon Li Mo chuckled and stood up from his chair. He then pulled the stunningly beautiful woman, dressed in an office lady outfit, into his arms. Sensing her subtle resistance, he unceremoniously mocked those Japanese old men who were utterly unreliable and might even betray him to the vampire lord Edwin. He confidently declared, "Don't worry, I want to see more of your alluring figure in your wedding dress. I won't be foolish enough to go looking for someone I can't beat to my death..."

Well, Longmo Li Mo had previously done something very outrageous to Igawa Asagi as well. He used Igawa Sakura's safety as a bargaining chip to make this beautiful captured anti-demon ninja wear a white wedding dress, and then did all sorts of things to her. Later, he even took advantage of this energetic beauty, Igawa Sakura.

When asked about the unspeakable memory she and her sister had experienced, Ikawa Asagi's pretty face flushed crimson. Even though it was a shameful memory she had tried so hard to forget, it was brought up again by this scoundrel in front of her. She was so angry that she couldn't help but pinch Long Mo a few times. However, Long Mo Li Mo didn't care at all. Instead, he continued to hug the beautiful woman in his arms and talk in a low voice.

However, for Jinghe Asagi, her mind calmed down. The Dragon Demon Li Mo was not acting rashly on impulse. He had previously shown a mysterious extraordinary inheritance and powerful pressure. So, he should have his own confidence in dealing with an S-class demon, instead of leading them to their deaths.

At least, Igawa Asagi understands this now. The problem is that because she suspects Longmo Li Mo's actions, she is required to successfully kill this S-class demon and then change into a pure white wedding dress to spend a good night with Longmo Li Mo!

(Also from Baidu, these are wedding photos of Igawa Asahi!)

Chapter 8 Underground Arena

"Please come in, both of you!"

Three days later, in the evening, at a large underground parking lot in the Tokyo metropolitan area, the parking lot security guard at the entrance checked the license plate and confirmed that there was no problem with the special metal card in his hand before respectfully speaking with a smile.

At first glance, this large underground parking lot seems to have no problems. Occasionally, you can see vehicles entering or leaving. However, the security guards in charge of the parking lot are unusually capable. Unlike the middle-aged men or even old men in their forties or fifties who are security guards in ordinary parking lots in Japan, the security guards in this large underground parking lot are all strong men in their thirties, with a muscular build and a high level of vigilance. They are also equipped with equipment such as stun batons, and the security room even has non-lethal weapons such as Taser guns.

Those in the know understand that there is actually a deeper underground arena here. Wealthy people seeking thrills are invited in by acquaintances. If ordinary people drive here and park, they are just parking their cars here!

"Ok!"

Facing the security guard who came to greet him, Longmo Li Mo, who had disguised himself as a customer of an underground arena using makeup, replied calmly and drove straight in. When he passed the security room, he exchanged glances with the three security guards waiting inside, but no one found it strange.

The reason was simple: none of the three security guards' eyes were on the seemingly ordinary Dragon Demon Li Mo, who was disguised. Instead, they all unconsciously looked at Jinghe Asagi, who was wearing a blue dress. Despite the disguise, she was still a stunningly beautiful woman. Her fair skin, as smooth as jade, was particularly captivating, and the graceful figure highlighted by the dress made men stare. If they didn't know that the guests coming and going were all rich and powerful and were aware of their own identities, the three security guards probably would have already been whistled at.

Unfortunately, none of the three security guards in the security room had any intention of losing their jobs or even their lives. Apart from stealing a few glances at the beautiful woman nestled next to the "rich young master" to satisfy their visual cravings, they had to continue working. Except for one of them who thought that he could go to Kabukicho to vent his frustrations during his shift, they all continued to work seriously, afraid that something might happen while they were on duty.

Therefore, Longmo Li Mo parked the luxury car on the second floor of the underground parking garage, which was marked as almost full, with an attitude of familiarity. Then, led by a security guard, he and Jinghe Asagi took the elevator down!

……

"Quick! Kill that demon!"

"Tear that guy apart! I've staked five million yen on you, don't lose!"

"The outcome will be decided soon..."

When Jinghe Asagi followed the Dragon Demon Li Mo through two hidden passageways and entered the underground arena, she was greeted by a boiling, enthusiastic atmosphere and a cacophony of voices.

In the underground arena, which resembled the Colosseum in ancient Rome, hundreds of spectators cheered loudly from their seats, encouraging the two sides engaged in a fierce battle below. One side was a low-level lesser demon, while the other was a young man who was clearly no weakling. He was currently wielding a katana and fighting the lesser demon, dodging and trying to counterattack.

Undoubtedly, gambling is inevitable in underground arenas. Guests seeking thrills here naturally don't mind betting on their favorite side. Many guys who might have dressed politely in the past are now cheering loudly for their chosen side without any restraint. Watching the little devil reappear and tear off the young man's arm, then being pierced through the bat wing by a samurai sword and going berserk in pain, tearing his opponent's neck apart and drinking blood, made the audience cheer.

At this moment, the audience in the underground arena, who were clearly wealthy, were all excited by the fighting and bloodshed. Some of them were even groping their female companions while drinking. Some women, who were usually quite unrestrained, were also engaging in intimate acts with the men around them. The whole scene was filled with an atmosphere of decadence. If the ancient Romans could travel back in time, they would probably find the scene very familiar.

After the fight ended, the personnel from the underground arena quickly rushed out of the arena's main entrance. Using specially made tranquilizer guns, they took down the little demon that was trying to crash into the specially designed protective glass wall. They then took away the little demon that had just eaten human flesh and drunk human blood, and cleaned up the arena to prepare for the next fight.

As for the young man who had just died, his body was cleaned up by two people from the underground arena wearing protective masks. They simply threw it onto a small cart like trash and pushed it out of the underground arena for disposal!

"Ladies and gentlemen, you have ten minutes of free time. The next match will be between our underground arena's star gladiator, Rakshasa Ghost, and three demonized black bears!"

Seeing the audience in the underground arena were in high spirits, a pleasant female voice quickly came over the loudspeaker, announcing that a new gladiator match would start every ten minutes, featuring one of the arena's star gladiators against three demonic creatures that could be rated as D-class demons.

Clearly, the underground arena has long had a set of specific operating rules. While watching the bloody scenes of demons tearing apart ordinary people might be exciting for a while, it would become boring and even unpleasant after a while. Therefore, the strong who can defeat the demons would naturally be promoted, just like the star gladiators who won many battles in ancient Rome. The underground arena specifically selects those who have excellent physical qualities and strong willpower, and only those who can survive and kill their enemies can achieve this.

Even though such a combination of luck and skill is extremely rare in the underground arena, there is no shortage of money or desperate paupers. This is enough for the underground arena to select a group of true gladiators who can successfully fight back against demons and demonized creatures. When these true gladiators fight against demons, the scene is particularly exciting and will excite the audience.

Upon hearing that a celebrity gladiator would be appearing soon, some of the audience members who had been shouting and cursing just moments before couldn't help but prepare to place their bets again, while others, fans of the celebrity gladiator, cheered loudly.

"M-Sir...is it always this bloody here...?"

On the other side, Ikawa Asagi, who had just stepped out of the passage and witnessed this bloody and magical scene, was angry when she noticed that Longmo Li Mo had reached out and put his arm around her waist. Just as she was about to say something, she noticed his gaze. Then, out of the corner of her eye, she noticed that the staff of the underground arena were watching her. Knowing that her behavior of standing still because she was a little angry seemed to have attracted attention, she pretended to be frightened, threw herself into Longmo Li Mo's arms, and whispered something.

When they discovered that the beautiful Asagi Igawa was terrified by the bloody scene and was whispering in her male companion's arms, the employees of the nearby underground arena also shifted their attention. This kind of scene is very common for newcomers who are visiting for the first time!

"Yeah, you'll get used to it after a couple more times!"

Hearing Igawa Asagi's words, and knowing that she had adjusted her mindset, Dragon Demon Li Mo fully displayed the image of a wealthy Japanese playboy with a net worth exceeding 100 billion yen, casually enjoying the sight of the beauty with one arm around her waist. He then headed towards the viewing room he had reserved in advance: "The star gladiator Rakshasa Oni is about to appear. Let's hurry to my reserved room. He's a star gladiator who has won five gladiators. We'll have a good watch then..."

As the largest underground arena in Tokyo, the guests are naturally not ordinary people. Those crammed into the regular audience seats are mostly wealthy families or presidents of small to medium-sized companies. In Japan, they are above the middle class but can barely be considered rich. The gap between them and the super-rich or even zaibatsu is still very obvious.

The underground arena would never allow the wealthy, politicians, and chaebols to sit in the ordinary spectator seats. The entire underground arena has two floors of private viewing rooms. Even the small viewing rooms near the ordinary spectator seats are reserved only by the wealthy or ordinary politicians. The higher-level large viewing rooms will not be opened to guests who are not considered the most important guests by the underground arena. They are basically reserved for the descendants of Japanese chaebols or high-ranking figures in Japan.

With the help of the newly revived Shadow Legion, Dragon Demon Li Mo had completely ascertained the situation of this underground arena. He did not reveal any information to the outside world, disguised himself with a suitable identity, and entered the underground arena with a female companion. The security guards and staff of the underground arena did not suspect anything. The two scantily clad female attendants respectfully escorted Dragon Demon Li Mo and Jinghe Asagi to a private room.

In fact, if Longmo Li Mo wanted, the two waitresses could stay in the private room and do whatever they wanted. However, Longmo Li Mo acted like a rich young master, embracing Jinghe Asagi and groping her, which made the two waitresses leave immediately!

……

"Mo, is this underground arena just going to stay open like this?"

At this moment, having entered the private room and confirmed that there were no eavesdropping devices around, Ikawa Asagi looked through the one-way transparent protective glass wall at the roughly cleaned underground arena below. Seeing that the arena floor even had a thick layer of black sand formed from congealed bloodstains, she knew that countless people had died here. However, what puzzled her was that if Dragon Demon Li Mo could find out the news, it was impossible for the Japanese side not to have received it.

Putting everything else aside, just look at those hundreds of unruly spectators below. If you say they're all tight-lipped, someone would believe it. Ikawa Asagi doesn't believe that the Japanese really don't know about the underground arena. Does that mean they're not going to do anything about it?

"Tsk tsk, don't find it strange. Quite a few people in Japan have benefited from this underground arena, and some have even helped cover up its existence!"

Hearing Jinghe Asagi's seemingly naive words, Dragon Demon Li Mo couldn't help but glance at her, wondering if she hadn't learned her lesson enough. However, after a moment's thought, he didn't reprimand her. Instead, he explained the situation to her, then reached out and tapped Jinghe Asagi's forehead: "Otherwise, let me show you the true nature of this underground arena..."

Jinghe Asagi still didn't understand what Longmo Li Mo was saying, and didn't know why her man had reached out and pointed at her forehead. However, she already had a high degree of trust in Longmo Li Mo, so she didn't dodge but let his finger hit her target.

The next instant, Ikawa Asagi felt her vision blur, as if her consciousness had left her body. She saw the massive underground arena from a god-like perspective. It was located nearly 300 meters underground, avoiding any possible urban infrastructure or basement environments. Upon closer inspection, it resembled a huge space the size of a small town, with a large underground parking lot and two logistics warehouses above it for concealment. Even the ordinary residents in the surrounding area did not know its details.

Just as Ikawa Asagi was feeling somewhat bewildered, she suddenly entered the underground arena again, and like a ghost, she began to investigate the hidden areas within the arena where other guests and even ordinary employees were strictly prohibited from entering!

Chapter 9: Who is more evil, the demon or the human?

"How many more died today?"

"Three are already dead, so get ready to bring in the Rakshasa Ghost immediately. As for the corpses of the other three good-for-nothings, we'll dispose of them along with their families. According to the old rules, the elderly and the sick will be dealt with directly. If any of the women are pretty, we'll keep them with the children. As for the women who don't quite meet the standards, we'll let the brothers have some fun with them!"

"Hehe, Brother Sato, I see two women in their thirties with really great figures. We can have some fun tonight..."

In the preparation room of the underground arena, a dozen half-vampires, whose appearances were not much different from humans, were throwing the corpses of recently deceased contestants into disposal bags as if they were dealing with garbage, while discussing how to dispose of the few contestants who had just entered the arena.

As an underground gladiatorial arena established by a vampire lord of the demon world, the treatment of those who use Japanese yakuza methods to capture bankrupts, homeless people, and kidnappers to become gladiators is definitely very cruel. Even their family members and friends who were captured may be dealt with directly because of their defeat.

In this regard, vampire lords have a set of special follow-up methods. For example, the blood of defeated gladiators is extracted, and their corpses are used as feed for demons and demonized creatures. If their families are captured, unless they become true gladiators who can kill lesser demons and demonized creatures, they are considered expendable in the underground arena. Women and children may be sold as commodities, and more often they become missing persons that no one cares about.

In particular, when Igawa Asagi stood like a ghost in this maintenance room, she noticed that a blood-red light was emanating from the dozen or so half-vampires. That bloody and sinful light made her instantly understand that it was the sins they carried. In layman's terms, it was the resentment of intelligent beings before their passing that was clinging to them, enough for other people with keen senses to perceive their general situation.

If we use the unit of resentment as a measure of killing one person, none of these dozen or so half-vampires have less than thirty units of resentment. In any country, they would be considered extremely dangerous serial killers, let alone half-vampires, who are anomalies. If discovered by any country, they would inevitably be captured or even killed.

When Igawa Asagi instinctively wanted to pick up her weapon, she realized that she was still in a special state as if she were a ghost. Then, she involuntarily changed into different perspectives and saw the dark side of the underground arena!

……

Soon, in the underground arena, Igawa Asagi witnessed all sorts of sordid things that represented the darkest side of human nature!

The captured homeless and bankrupt individuals fight desperately against the captured little devils and demonic creatures for their own or their families' lives. If they win and are not seriously injured, they can temporarily save their own and their families' lives.

Even if they manage to win a hard-won victory, but are already severely injured or have lost most of their lives, the half-vampires in the underground arena will not hesitate to take action and drain the blood from these wounded and dead people. Their families are often drained of blood and die. Occasionally, star gladiators who can defeat demons and demonized creatures may seem to have good treatment, but in reality, if they fail or are severely injured, they will be disposed of and replaced by newcomers.

The audience who came to the underground arena to watch the bloody gladiatorial matches were completely indifferent to these miserable people who had been squeezed out of their last bit of value. They cheered for the victory of the side they had bet on, and did not care at all whether the winner was human or not. Even if the winner was a demon or a demonic creature, they would still cheer for it. Seeing the unfortunate gladiator fighting to the death against the demon or demonic creature, they felt more excited and their own hormones surged.

Leaving aside the ordinary rich people who were causing trouble in the audience, even the audience in the small viewing boxes cheered and even touched their partners and the guests in the boxes when they saw the star gladiator Rakshasa appear and quickly kill one of the three demonized black bears. What was really disgusting was that there were not only men and women, but also women and women, and even men and men.

Faced with such a sordid affair, Igawa Asagi was filled with shame and anger. She didn't even know if these spectators could be considered human, or perhaps they were even more terrifying than demons. However, the next second, she sank into the lowest level of the underground arena!
