I simultaneously traverse countless worlds

"Mayor, the trouble caused by the demon cultists is over. Your job is to get the citizens back to work as soon as possible and prevent any work stoppages!"

Upon hearing Hachisuka Masataka's words, General Wang, who was over forty years old, disregarded the other party's respectful attitude and still politely raised his wine cup in acknowledgment. However, his words were quite serious as he conveyed the order he wanted to deliver.

"That's right, the mining and smelting of [Orgon Ore] absolutely cannot be stopped!"

General Herrington, who had also received orders from America's side, turned his gaze away from the young men at the banquet and spoke in a very serious tone. He was conveying orders from America's official authorities and various conglomerates, and that the supply of [Orgon Ore] must not be disrupted.

"Hai! I understand!"

Without a doubt, Hachisuka Masataka, who understood that the orders of the two bigwigs were not to be questioned, bowed again and replied firmly. He knew that he was sitting in the position of mayor of [Veron City], and that even the Japanese officials and local tycoons treated him with utmost respect because the two superpowers were backing [Veron City]. If he failed to meet the requirements of the two superpowers, the consequences would obviously be dire.

Otherwise, if either Da Ming or America has any complaints, a single word from Hachisuka Masataka could remove him from his position as mayor of Belon City. He doesn't want to lose his current wealth and status, so naturally he will have to devote all his energy to carrying out this order!

……

"Xiu, the steak is almost ready!"

At the same time, in an office in Belon City with a PMC company sign, the half-demon girl, Mu, wearing a kitchen apron, looked at the steak that was almost done cooking and reminded her lover, who was still sitting in the living room, to prepare to serve the steak she had bought. It was a rather lavish steak set meal with the other side dishes she had bought, a delicacy that she could not afford on a regular basis unless she had plenty of money right now.

Thanks to the important location of Belon City and the constant influx of demons and mutated creatures, Kisaragi and Ogata Osamu's standard of living is quite good, at least much better than the meager life of eating bean sprouts in the original anime and manga of "Kiss of the Contract"!

"Oh? Kisaragi, I understand..."

In response to the reminder from the half-demon girl Kisara, Ogata Osamu, who was sitting alone in the living room, looked up, forced a smile at the half-demon girl Kisara who was busy in the kitchen, and then got up to help pull out the living room table and chairs. However, he was clearly in a dazed and absent-minded state.

Last night, witnessing the two superpowers "easily" kill an S-class demon and resolve the trouble caused by the demon realm portal summoned by the demon cultists, Ogata Osamu felt as if he had returned to a time more than ten years ago. He felt that his parents and sister might have died in a demon blood sacrifice event created by the demon cultists. Compared to more than ten years ago, the power on the side of [Beron City] has increased by an unknown amount. Thousands of demons and demonized creatures died helplessly under the brutal firepower of humans.

Even if it were the half-demon girl Kisara, Ogata Osamu felt that in the face of such ferocious firepower, she wouldn't be much stronger than the demons and mutated creatures that had already been blasted to dust. His desire for revenge would become absurd. The S-class demon from last night alone was something that he and Kisara could not handle. Many of the demons they had witnessed were already corpses.

Now, Ogata Osamu has adjusted his mindset. He feels that his revenge and search for the truth are almost over. So, should he consider future issues, such as the relationship between himself and Kisara?

Chapter 50 Leisure and the Future

"What a delightful beach holiday!"

A few days later, on a private island beach in the Ryukyu Islands, Dragon Demon Li Mo leisurely lay on a beach chair, wearing sunglasses and admiring the beautiful beach scenery in front of him. He lazily sipped fruit wine and sighed softly.

For Li Mo, the Dragon Demon before his transmigration, a beach vacation was a reasonably affordable activity. However, after his transmigration, he was reborn into the Demon Realm, a place where even drinking water required vigilance to prevent attacks from aquatic monsters or other dangers. Matters as trivial as a beach vacation, which had nothing to do with life, were long forgotten. Only vigilance and killing could quickly make him stronger.

In a short time, Dragon Demon Li Mo abandoned the mindset of the modern peaceful world in the Demon Realm and became a cold and cunning little devil. He relied on caution and luck to fight his way up to the first level of high-ranking demon. Only after successfully entering the human world through a spatial rift did he feel like he had been reborn.

You're talking about the demons' experiences in the demon realm?

Sorry, that really wasn't a pleasant memory. What impressed Dragon Demon Li Mo the most was that when he was first reincarnated as a little devil, before he even understood what was going on, he was almost hunted down by another newly born little devil and stained with his first blood.

As for his life in the demon realm afterward, for Li Mo, who was reincarnated as a demon, every day was a living hell. Even finding something to eat might be extremely poisonous or toxic to ordinary people. While demons could digest it, the taste was indescribable. As for delicacies and fine wines, they were definitely not something that demons below the level of great demons could even dream of.

—In the memories of Lord Edwin and the split soul of the Demon God Asmodius, there are actually some areas in the Demon Realm that maintain a certain order. At least only the Great Demons have the ability to establish a fixed settlement, the Demon Lords can build a Demon Castle, and the Demon Gods have their own core territories and direct subordinates. However, in the past, the Dragon Demon Li Mo had always been on the periphery of the Demon Realm. In addition, he would occasionally encounter wars brought by powerful demons, so he would not be foolish enough to go out and conduct suicidal explorations.

In any case, for Dragon Demon Li Mo, he had no desire to reminisce about his past life in the Demon Realm. He was more interested in the carefree life he led in the Human Realm, which was incredibly enjoyable and carefree. He had everything he needed for pleasure, including beautiful women, delicious food, and fine wine. Compared to the miserable life in the Demon Realm, it was like paradise. Naturally, he wouldn't miss the Demon Realm unless he went crazy and thought about returning to it.

Now, Dragon Demon Li Mo understands that if he wants to go further and take the initiative, returning to the Demon Realm is something he must do. Given the current situation between the Demon Realm and the Human Realm, multiple Demon Realm passages might open one day!

"Onii-chan~!"

Just as Longmo Li Mo finished downing a glass of fruit wine, Ogata Kanna's sweet voice rang out, followed by her hugging Longmo Li Mo's neck from behind, as if she were pressed against him from behind a beach chair.

Kanna Ogata had changed into a cute pink swimsuit. While her [B+] bust wasn't particularly prominent, the youthful energy of the girl was still dazzling. Her skin, glowing in the sunlight, proved the saying "fair skin covers a hundred flaws." Besides, the girl herself was already exceptionally beautiful, even before she had fully matured. As an S-class demon lord, she was also evolving towards perfection.

It's no exaggeration to say that Kanna Ogata changes every day. Whether it's her potential or her figure and looks, she is definitely one of the best among the Dragon Demon Li Mo's companions. She is just currently in a stage of adapting to her rapid growth!

"Oh, it's Kanna~!"

Seeing Ogata Kanna's intimate embrace, Dragon Demon Li Mo was enjoying the girl's hug. Fortunately, he was surrounded by many beautiful women, so he wouldn't lose his composure because of this small scene. On the contrary, he was enjoying the girl's affectionate posture.

"Kanna, please don't be so rude!"

Compared to Ryumo Li Mo's carefree attitude, Yuuki Akane, who came with Ogata Kanna, was somewhat helpless. Wearing a rather conservative sapphire blue one-piece swimsuit, she could no longer hide her mature and graceful figure, and her eyes were filled with tenderness and affection when she looked at Ryumo Li Mo.

"Kanna is quite lively..."

At the same time, Mizushiro Shiranui, who was walking over with Yuuki Akino, also nodded in agreement. Her action even made her prominent breasts tremble slightly. Her peach-shaped figure, which could not be concealed by her white bikini swimsuit, was enough to make other men stare wide-eyed and admire her closely.

After all, in the original storyline of "Taimanin," Mizushiro Shiranui is definitely one of the most popular Taimanin. Not only is she a widow, but she is also a top-tier beauty with both strength and looks. Moreover, after being fused with the [Seed of the Extraordinary] by Ryumo Rimo, her current strength is undoubtedly A-rank, which can be said to be no less than that of the original Taimanin leader, Igawa Asagi. At the same time, her figure and appearance have become even more charming.

Not only Mizuki Shiranui and Yuuki Akeno, but also five other beauties—Igawa Asagi, Igawa Sakura, Yazu Murasaki, Akiyama Rinko, and Yuuki Ayano—were on this beach. They were playing on the beach in two groups, and their different swimsuits accentuated their allure. They were a truly beautiful sight, probably more important to men than any ocean view.

Of course, Longmo Li Mo wouldn't let other men admire him. The island he chose was a private island purchased through the Dark Star Group. Apart from a few service robots, only Longmo Li Mo and several beautiful women were on the island!

"Haha, Kanna still needs to train more and master her power!"

Seeing the two beauties, Yuuki Akeno and Mizushiro Shiranui, approach, the Dragon Demon Li Mo casually pulled Ogata Kanna, who was holding him, into his arms. He then stood up and leaned over to them, kissing each other before turning to the pouting Ogata Kanna and instructing her, "As for other matters, you don't need to rush. First, fully master the power I sealed, otherwise it's easy to accidentally injure someone..."

Well, Dragon Demon Li Mo has now won over the hearts of several former Demon Ninja beauties and the mother and daughter, Yu Tong. Naturally, the beautiful girl Ogata Kanna is no exception. In fact, he has been paying much more attention to Ogata Kanna than to others these past few days.

Unfortunately, Kanna Ogata's rise to power was meteoric. From a three-year-old human loli to a fifteen-year-old half-demon girl, let's set aside the changes in her bloodline for now. However, the Demon God Asmoda spent countless resources and energy to create an S-class demon lord descent body on Earth in the human world, originally intending to use it to sacrifice the entire Earth to the demon realm. Unfortunately, it was captured by the Dragon Demon Li Mo.

However, while the Demon God's split soul was captured by the Dragon Demon Li Mo, Ogata Kanna's own soul was re-fused into her body. Even though she already possessed half-demon blood and reached S-rank, she still successfully fused and became the highest-level combatant on Earth. It can be said that if she could fully unleash her strength, she would be a powerful demon lord in the Demon Realm. After all, the power of the [Space] domain is somewhat overpowered, and demon lords of the same rank might not necessarily be able to defeat her.

The problem lies in this: a little girl who was only three years old before being sealed, a half-demon girl who only broke free a few days ago, it would be strange if she could perfectly exert the strength of an S-class demon lord. It's not even because Dragon Demon Li Mo actively sealed Ogata Kanna's power and gave her the [Seed of the Extraordinary] to fuse with her, it would take Ogata Kanna years to perfectly master her power.

Of course, Kanna Ogata's situation is already very good. Even though she is sealed, she can still exert the strength of a C-rank demon. If she can perfectly master her own power and thoroughly study its essence, she may even be able to advance to the level of a demon god in the future.

"Ugh~! Onii-chan~! Can't I master my powers faster?!"

Upon hearing Ryumo Li Mo's words, Ogata Kanna, who was gazing enviously at Mizushiro Shiranui and Yuuki Akeno's curvaceous figures, quickly hugged Ryumo Li Mo's neck tightly. Her sweet voice carried a hint of pleading; she didn't want to spend too much time mastering the power and wanted to stay by Ryumo Li Mo's side forever.

"Hmm, Kanna, if you're not afraid, I can offer even better training courses!"

Dragon Demon Li Mo naturally knew Ogata Kanna's little scheme when she asked for something. He didn't expose her but spoke with a slight smile. He would never let go of the cute girl he kept, especially since Ogata Kanna herself wished she could become his bedmate.

Seeing this scene, Yuuki Akino and Mizushiro Shiranui, who had been taking care of Ogata Kanna these past few days, didn't say much. In any case, in the Kiss of Contract hybrid world or other worlds, the upper echelons were already playing very elaborate games, and there was even less to say in Japan. Moreover, given Ogata Kanna's own situation, if she didn't stay by the side of Dragon Demon Li Mo, and instead had Da Ming and America know that she possessed the power of an S-class demon, all sorts of troubles would probably come looking for her.

Later, Longmo Li Mo leisurely embraced three beautiful women, greeting Jinghe Asagi and Jinghe Sakura, enjoying delicious food and preparing for a wonderful evening of fun...

Chapter 51 The Lively White Mist Space

"Huh? We're in the [White Mist Space] again?!"

When Dragon Demon Li Mo regained consciousness, he found himself not in the arms of the beauties, but in the [White Mist Space]. Slightly surprised, he walked forward without a care in the world, showing no concern whatsoever.

Well, or rather, none of the dozens of Li Mos from different worlds had actually figured out the secrets of the [White Mist Space]. At best, they were certain that it was harmless to them and even very beneficial. As a result, many Li Mos from ordinary worlds didn't pay much attention to the true nature of the [White Mist Space]. At most, they would come here occasionally to integrate their own memories and powers.

After all, if you don't fully understand the principles behind something's existence, and it's hard to say when you'll encounter it again, how can you study its essence?

In this regard, the Li Mos who transmigrated to the modern world didn't care much about it. They regarded the [White Mist Space] as their cheat code, using it to obtain enough extraordinary power to make themselves stronger, and didn't pay much attention to it. When they occasionally thought about it, they were more interested in trying out the functions of the [White Mist Space] than studying its essence.

Li Mo from other worlds, such as the Li Mo from a high-energy world, is very interested in the [White Mist Space]. In those high-energy worlds where extraordinary powerhouses emerge in large numbers and even gods and demons can be seen from time to time, they like to make themselves stronger, but they are more interested in the [White Mist Space], which allows Li Mo from multiple worlds to integrate their own power and memories. Unfortunately, so far, no Li Mo from any world has achieved any results in researching the [White Mist Space].

Even regarding the speculation about the [White Mist Space], Li Mo from different worlds has formed several different opinions. For example, one Li Mo proposed the "higher dimension" theory, believing that the [White Mist Space] might be a treasure from a higher dimension. Another Li Mo believes that the [White Mist Space] is their soul manifestation space. There are several other theories, but they are all limited to speculation.

In this regard, Dragon Demon Li Mo didn't have many considerations. Having experienced the baptism of the Demon Realm, he valued practicality. Regardless of what the [White Mist Space] was, if it could enhance his power, it was a good thing. There was no point in being hesitant!

"Tsk tsk, you're just as ruthless. I'm afraid there are hardly any members of the Dali Duan family left. You've even used the natives of the Indochina Peninsula as expendable resources!"

"Look at what you're saying. Do you think the natives can be so easily integrated? Some of them are still at the level of slash-and-burn agriculture and cannibalism. It would be better to use them to lay the foundation for a new empire. If you want the country in my world of Tian Long Ba Bu to enter the industrial age, I don't know how many lives would have to be lost. Fortunately, the route to India has already been opened up."

"That's true. In the feudal era, transitioning to the industrial age required far too much population and resources. Either they had to consume a large portion of their own population internally, or they had to find other scapegoats and resource-rich areas!"...

When Dragon Demon Li Mo arrived at the [White Mist Space], the first thing he saw besides the conspicuous giant display screen and a row of sofas was a few of Li Mo's discussion topics that would make ordinary people feel terrified.

Those topics of discussion that Li Mo was discussing would probably seem trivial to Li Mo from dozens of different worlds. The Dragon Demon Li Mo wouldn't care at all, since life in the Demon Realm is practically worthless, so he naturally wouldn't care about the cruelty of the topics being discussed. However, for ordinary people, they would probably be hard to accept.

In any case, whether in feudal times or in modern times, ordinary people are always hesitant to kill their own kind. It's a bit better in feudal times, but in the modern world, unless you're in a slum in America or in a chaotic country in Latin America or Africa, the probability of encountering gunfights or murders in peaceful countries like China or Japan is extremely low. Many people might talk big online, but if they were actually on the battlefield, their legs would probably turn to jelly.

Even for Li Mo from different worlds, the first time facing a battlefield or a scene of killing was somewhat unpleasant. Fortunately, he quickly adapted. Otherwise, Li Mo from different worlds would never have survived to the gathering in the [White Mist Space], let alone obtained the [White Mist Space]'s cheat.

Upon closer inspection, Longmo Li Mo discovered that the people being discussed included several familiar faces he had met during his previous visit to the [White Mist Space], such as Li Mo from the Gundam UC world, Li Mo from the Tian Long Ba Bu novel world, and Li Mo from the movie Purple Sun world.

Besides the three Li Mos who were having an enthusiastic discussion, there were also Li Mos from the Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress world whom Dragon Demon Li Mo knew, and another Li Mo from the Hunter x Hunter world, as well as three Li Mos whom Dragon Demon Li Mo did not recognize. Judging from their clothes and expressions, he thought they must be newcomers who had just entered the [White Mist Space].

This was not strange for the Dragon Demon Li Mo, who had integrated many of Li Mo's memories and powers and knew the characteristics of the [White Mist Space]. This was only his second time entering the [White Mist Space]. There were still many Li Mo from other worlds that he had never met, but the integrated memory information still included their situations. Moreover, the three unfamiliar Li Mo seemed somewhat restrained, which made it clear that this was their first time entering the [White Mist Space].

Of course, what caught Longmo Li Mo's attention was that the Li Mo from the Gundam UC world was different from the Earth Federation Army sergeant uniform he had seen in the Gundam UC world before. He had clearly changed into a space army field officer's uniform, which meant that he must have made some achievements in the Gundam UC world after leaving the [White Mist Space]. Moreover, there was also the Li Mo from the Tian Long Ba Bu novel world, who was wearing a gorgeous outfit with dragon patterns, something that only emperors and princes could wear in ancient times.

In contrast, Li Mo from the movie Purple Sun World also changed into new clothes, a set of clothes with a distinctly Western style. He looked very energetic in it, and compared to the near-death scene he was seen in last time, he now exuded a sharp aura, a special kind of power as if he held the power of life and death over many people.

Just by watching Li Mo's transformation in the movie Purple Sun World, Dragon Demon Li Mo knew that the other party's experience of returning was very exciting. After all, Li Mo was the one who knew him best. He didn't believe that the other party would let go of the Japanese soldiers who almost killed him and the Japanese during World War II after returning!

"Oh? Great Demon, what brings you into the [White Mist Space] today?"

Seeing Longmo Li Mo approaching, Li Mo from the Hunter x Hunter world waved and greeted him. He had already met Li Mo from the Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress world and the three new worlds, but he didn't expect that Li Mo from the Kiss of Contract hybrid world would come to the [White Mist Space]. However, this was not a strange thing.

"Yes! I was just getting intimate with Igawa Asagi and the others, and I'm still half asleep when I come here again!"

Upon being greeted by the Hunter x Hunter world's Li Mo, Longmo nodded without hesitation. While recalling the enchanting experience of the previous night, he looked up curiously at the Li Mo and others from the Gundam UC world and asked the Hunter x Hunter world's Li Mo directly, "But why are they all so energetic in their discussion? Is it making such a fuss?"

Having just entered the [White Mist Space] again, Dragon Demon Li Mo naturally didn't know what had happened before. However, listening to the conversation between Li Mo and the others from the Gundam UC world, and seeing their cheerful expressions, he knew that the Li Mos were having a great time chatting and it wasn't a quarrel or argument.

Don't assume that the Li Mos from different worlds all share the same thoughts and have no disagreements. Even if their memories before transmigrating are the same, their experiences in different worlds are very different. Li Mo may not necessarily agree with everything his counterparts in other worlds do. Fortunately, everyone can understand this. After all, you can't expect people in peacetime to understand many actions during wartime or even feudal times. The two sides may not even be on the same wavelength.

For example, during famines in feudal times, if the authorities didn't want widespread war and a lack of food to aid the victims, the common practice was to conscript able-bodied men from the disaster victims into local militias while leaving the old and weak to die. In modern times, this would be enough to make people condemn the authorities. Furthermore, the moral standards during wartime were far below those of normal people. Even Li Mo from different worlds had his own opinions on this.

As for the Li Mos from different worlds, at most they might feel that their practices in other worlds need improvement, but they would only offer suggestions and would not forcefully demand that the Li Mos from other worlds follow their advice. This is something that the Li Mos tacitly understand.

"Oh, you know, when Li Mo from the movie Purple Sun World went back last time, he caused a huge stir. He got Japan to mobilize Korean and Northeastern puppet troops to fight the Red Bear to the death, and he even went into Japan to arrange a decisive battle plan. He fought fiercely with America's side, and even the Five-Star Mai Tianhuang died in a kamikaze attack by Japan..."

When this topic came up, Li Mo from the Hunter x Hunter world was very enthusiastic. He directly recounted his experience of entering the White Mist Space and merging his memories with his counterpart from the Purple Sun movie world. He shared this exciting news with his friends without any hesitation. Even Li Mo from the Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress world and the other three newcomers were filled with admiration and excitement when discussing this topic.

Upon hearing Li Mo's words from the Hunter x Hunter world, even the Dragon Demon Li Mo couldn't help but feel curious. He quickly shook hands with his counterpart from the Purple Sun movie world, sensing the memories of that counterpart and the other two Li Mos. After observing for a while, he couldn't help but say:

"Looks like we all have the potential to be Paradox Interactive players!"

Chapter 52 Li Mo, a Paradox Interactive Player by Every Name?

Paradox Interactive players are pretty much all wicked and evil guys!

This is a joke, but for players of Paradox Interactive's games such as Europa Universalis, Hearts of Iron, and Crusader Kings, their various bizarre and witty decisions are enough to qualify them as war criminals in the real world.

Before Li Mo transmigrated, he hadn't played many strategy games produced by Paradox Interactive, but he had heard some jokes about Paradox players. Basically, players of those large-scale strategy games treated their NPCs as mere resources, and would use all sorts of means to eliminate enemy NPC nations. Even the Japanese during World War II, who were considered the bottom of human morality, probably didn't have the ruthless methods of Paradox players.

In the movie "Purple Sun World," Li Mo, after returning from the "White Mist Space," fully demonstrated his ruthlessness as a Paradox Interactive (P社) cloud player by directly rescuing the labor camp he was in, successfully saving Yang Yufu and a group of laborers.

Subsequently, Li Mo ordered his newly trained soldiers to torture and kill all the neon guards in the labor camps. He then arranged for his soldiers to lead Yang Yufu and the others in guerrilla warfare, giving them a good chance of survival, while he himself led his men to begin the revenge operation.

Soon, the movie world of Purple Sun, which had no supernatural powers at all, was transformed into a berserk state that no one could recognize under Li Mo's manipulation!

For example, the Red Bear's preparations to attack the North were blocked by the full mobilization of various puppet troops from Korea and the North as cannon fodder. Even though many of the puppet troops recruited by Japan were indeed not very combat-effective, the constant digging of numerous anti-tank trenches, fortifications, and close-range attacks from individual rocket launchers were still able to wear down the Red Bear's iron torrent.

Anyway, when Li Mo became the mastermind behind the scenes in Japan, and ordered the Japanese Locusts to resist America to the end, the Red Bear's offensive in the north was only progressing slowly, and the many puppet troops under Japan's command suffered heavy casualties.
