I sparked a mysterious resurgence in Marvel.

Chapter 342 Slaughter Battle

As it turns out, the anomaly at the University of Tokyo was merely a coincidence.

Although the timelines of Hell and Tokyo began to distort and overlap, the Japanese government's deliberate suppression and cover-up meant that the common people were completely unaware of the demons, and thus, the situation on the surface did not completely spiral out of control.

The demons that appeared in Tokyo by taking advantage of that momentary spatial overlap, after hunting enough food, also cooperated unusually well by hiding and lying dormant, seemingly waiting for the final explosion.

Tokyo still appears to be a thriving metropolis and the brightest jewel in Japan.

At least, Erin didn't see many demons along the way while tracking Cassius and his companions.

The famous scene of a hundred demons parading at night has not yet fully taken shape.

In a taxi that Erin had hailed at random, Luo was reporting information about the black sedan to Erin.

"BOSS, the target vehicle has stopped in front of the red-light district in Shibuya, Tokyo. Satellite detection has shown that both targets have gotten out of the car and entered a Kabukicho in the red-light district. They are currently 7.4 kilometers away from us. We expect to arrive at Kabukicho in 13 minutes."

Kabukicho.

Is this their destination?

Is this their temporary hiding place, or their next target?

After the taxi, which had been hypnotized and controlled by Erin, took Erin to the red-light district, Erin did not immediately go to Kabukicho.

Cassius and Mortis had been inside Kabukicho for over ten minutes, and Erin had no idea what they had been doing in that time, or whether Kabukicho was their temporary base.

and so.

Before entering Kabukicho, Erin had to make some targeted preparations in advance, and even prepare to escape.

·······

The second floor of Kabukicho.

After staring at the street outside through the crack in the window for ten minutes without seeing any suspicious people, Mortis said calmly to Cassius:

"In the past ten minutes, 237 people have passed by this street, but apart from a group of middle-aged office workers eager to seek comfort from young women, some students and delinquents constantly peering into various shops, trying to satisfy their curiosity, or a few young women looking for job opportunities, I haven't found any suspicious individuals worth paying attention to on this street. Are you sure you sensed being spied on just now?"

"Of course, I have a lot of faith in my intuition."

Upon hearing this, Mortis's eyes flashed with a sharp light. "Close-range spying cannot escape our senses. If your senses are not mistaken, then we should be being monitored remotely."

"Remote monitoring methods—satellites or magical detection? The Japanese government, the Hand, or the sorcerers of Kamar-Taj? Or perhaps the big fish we just caught?"

After muttering a few words to himself, Cassius suddenly laughed and said, "Never mind, it doesn't matter who it is anymore."

As he spoke, Cassius crushed a piece of black crystal he had been playing with in his hand.

"Snap!"

As the black crystal shattered, an indescribable aura of terror instantly spread from Kabukicho in all directions.

The moment that terrifying aura spread.

One by one, the demons that had been hiding and lurking throughout Tokyo roared to the sky.

next second.

An astonishing change occurred in the sky outside Kabukicho.

···········

ash.

Countless gray-black ashes, exuding the scent of gunpowder and sulfur, obscured the sky.

One second the sky was bright and sunny, the next it was shrouded in gloom, and the whole sky suddenly became dark and gloomy.

A steady stream of grayish-black ash drifted down from the sky, settling into the metropolis shrouded in ashes.

These seemingly inconspicuous gray-black ashes seem to carry an extraordinary power, with each grain of ash seemingly containing an astonishing temperature.

"ah!!!"

When those grains of ash, imbued with the smell of sulfur, fall to earth, landing on the figures walking on the streets, and even being inhaled by them.

An astonishing heat instantly erupted on their skin and even in their nasal cavity.

In an instant, it burned scorch marks on their skin, delicate nasal cavities, and internal organs.

Followed by.

A series of piercing screams and painful cries quickly echoed through the city shrouded in ashes.

The sky, already shrouded in endless ash, was gloomy, and the piercing screams and cries only added to the city's eeriness and terror.

And just then...

One after another, bizarre-looking, ferocious monsters suddenly rushed out from various dark corners.

Some of them roam the streets, slaughtering all humans within sight, while others infiltrate buildings, attacking residents hiding in houses and high-rises.

Slaughter, death, and a bloody feast unfolded unexpectedly in this most prosperous metropolis of Japan.

Amidst this bloody slaughter, sharp air raid sirens soon blared throughout the city.

"Alarm! Alarm!"

"All residents should immediately proceed to the nearest shelter for refuge..."

"All residents should immediately proceed to the nearest shelter for refuge..."

The blaring sirens echoed through the city, quickly waking Tokyo residents who were either unaware of what was happening or shocked by the bloody scene before them.

········

And then, suddenly, endless ashes began to fall from the sky above Tokyo.

A sharp magical shriek suddenly rang out from within the Sanctuary of the Demon City.

Upon seeing the gray-corroded Tokyo area displayed on the core barrier of the Sanctuary, the mages on duty in the Sanctuary of Shanghai all changed their expressions.

"This is bad. The invasion of Tokyo by the Hell Dimension has suddenly exceeded the warning level. The Hell Dimension and Tokyo are beginning to overlap significantly, and more and more Hell monsters are taking the opportunity to invade Earth, and this number is still rising."

"Quickly, summon all the mages immediately and increase the shielding power of the protective barrier to push back the encroachment of the Hell Dimension on Earth."

"We can't let those demons that have already invaded Tokyo run rampant, otherwise they'll only exacerbate the erosion of Earth by the Hell Dimension. We need to send a group to Tokyo to expel or kill those demons from Hell..."

Under a series of orders.

The mages of the Sanctuary of the Demon City each took their positions, and the entire Sanctuary of the Demon City began to operate at high speed, like a huge machine.

Meanwhile.

Erin, who had just set up a backup plan in a red-light district karaoke bar, also heard a series of exclamations coming from not far away.

"Damn it, what...what is that thing?!"

On the street outside the Kabukicho, there were more than ten corpses lying on the ground. Among them, a white figure dressed in a red floral kimono with her hair in an exquisite bun, dressed as a geisha, was lying on a corpse, trembling slightly.

It seemed to be crying, or perhaps it was afraid of something.

This scene might not seem like anything special at first, but if the crouching figure had a head with no facial features, only jagged, blood-stained teeth, and even a piece of intestine hanging from it, then this bizarre scene of corpses scattered on the street would have a huge impact.

Whether it was the exclamation that startled her or not, the next second, she crouched low and ran towards the person who had exclaimed in a contorted position.

Although those were clearly distorted limbs, swinging erratically, they strangely unleashed astonishing speed, emitting unintelligible screams along the way.

In the blink of an eye, she rushed from the red-light district street into the Kabukicho next to Erin.

soon.

Screams echoed from the Kabukicho restaurant next to Erin.

···········

"How pitiful..."

For some reason, the kind-hearted Erin felt no sympathy whatsoever for the tragic scene that had unfolded next door.

Perhaps it's because the people who come to this street to spend money aren't exactly good people worthy of sympathy;

It could also be simply because Erin was surrounded by Japanese people.

With a sigh, Erin's figure flashed and disappeared into the chaos.

the other side.

Cassius drew back the curtains and quietly admired the gray-black ashes that fell from the sky, almost swallowing the entire city.

As the gray-black ashes fell, and the monsters returning from hell continued to appear.

Slaughter, death, and depravity continue to spread throughout the city.

As these forces spread.

Cassius, who had previously stolen a sliver of the power of corruption through underhanded means, also felt the power within his body constantly increasing.

He opened his arms and reached out into the void, as if trying to forcefully embrace that intoxicating power.

"Hmph, I think I understand now why those demons who have the power of death, slaughter, chaos, and fear are so keen on spreading fear and creating chaos. This feeling of increasing power is truly intoxicating and irresistible..."

"Bang!"

Before Cassius could finish his reflection, a faint gunshot rang out, and before the smile on his lips could fade, a black bullet blasted a fist-sized hole in Cassius's chest.

After glancing down at the gaping hole in his chest, Cassius's smile vanished, and he said coldly, "I hate it when people interrupt me..."

"Bang!"

No sooner had Cassius finished speaking than another gunshot rang out beside him.

"Really? Well, I'm sorry, but I actually quite like interrupting people."

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

With the roar of the dragon slayer, Cassius's upper body was quickly smashed to pieces.

And this time.

Cassius finally saw, through the gunshots, Erin, who was bombarding him with bullets that could curve, from across a house.

"I found you."

With a roar, Cassius, whose upper body was almost completely shattered and whose face was deathly pale, seemed unaffected. He activated his ability, turning himself into a shadow and disappearing into it.

[Shadow Jump]

"Bang!"

Cassius, who had leaped from the shadows to stand behind Erin in an instant, was struck by a black light bullet with a bang as he emerged from the shadows, before he could even get a clear look at his surroundings.

With a crisp sound.

Cassius's head was smashed open like a ripe watermelon.

Followed by.

A raging fire erupted from Erin's right hand, transforming into giant fiery pythons that swept towards Cassius's body.

"Sizzle!"

Before the Eternal Flame could get close, Cassius's body melted rapidly into a pool of black liquid, just like a wax figure scorched by flames.

Immediately afterwards, the black liquid disappeared into the shadow at its feet.

Then, before the raging fire arrived, they vanished without a trace.

In the slightly pink room, Erin's eyes suddenly turned deep and quickly darted around, and the [Dragon Slayer] in his hand pulled the trigger as his left arm spun rapidly.

next second.

A pale black light bullet, accompanied by the roar of the Dragon Slayer, smashed through an invisible shadow, delivering a devastating blow to Cassius, who was about to change direction and launch another attack on Erin.

With several promotions.

Erin's intuition from the [Clown] potion was also amplified several times.

Cassius's undisguised malice was like a light shining in the darkness; Erin could clearly sense it even with his eyes closed.

Not to mention that in Erin's vision, every time Cassius performs a Shadow Leap, it creates a ripple in the air.

Of course, this is also because Cassius's power was stolen through a magical ritual, and he cannot perfectly control it. Otherwise, if Cassius could perfectly blend into the darkness, even with his spiritual vision and Erin's intuition, it wouldn't be so easy for him to find the other party.

"Bang bang bang!!!"

As several more gunshots rang out, Cassius, who had just emerged from the shadows, was once again riddled with bullets.

With an angry roar, Cassius, whose body was battered and pale, and whose spirit had been repeatedly shaken by the roaring dragon and its aura of malevolence, instantly changed his plans.

Using the power of shadow, Cassius transformed his body into a shadow once again and quickly disappeared from Erin's side.

"Heh, trying to run away? Not so easy."

Snapped.

With a snap of his fingers, a pale blue light suddenly rose in the pink room where Erin was.

Although the light blue magical barrier wasn't very powerful, it still managed to stop Cassius from escaping the room using [Shadow Leap].

The next second...
