The Demon King, reborn in Japan as a monk

……

Three days later, somewhere at the foot of Mount Fuji where he had broken free of his seal, Ishihara Shou, in his guise as Orochi, met the group of Eight Orochi who had now awakened their memories related to the Orochi Generals.

These are Goenitz the Storm, Shermie the Mad Indigo, Yashiro the Dry Earth, and Chris the Flame of Destiny, also known as the Four Heavenly Kings, along with Mature, Vice, and Ryuji Yamazaki, who respectively inherited the power of the Beast, the power of Death, and the power of Blood.

As for the last person, it should have been Leona's father, Gadiru. However, due to his incomplete awakening, his human will was stronger, unlike the other fully awakened members of the Orochi clan who were cold and ruthless except when it came to matters concerning Orochi. Therefore, after refusing Goenitz's orders, he was killed by Leona, who went berserk after Goenitz forcibly activated her Orochi blood.

This left him with a great psychological trauma, and he was extremely resistant to his own Orochi blood. So, although he received the call from Ishihara Sho through his bloodline, he did not follow the instructions to come to Japan for an audience.

Therefore, the seven people present were all members of the Orochi clan.

Seeing this, Ishihara Akira didn't waste any words. He reached out and grabbed a ball of blood-red energy that floated out from Yamazaki Ryuji's body and flew straight into Ishihara Akira's hand.

Then, Yamazaki Ryuji, like a corpse whose time had been accelerated by a thousand years, quickly dried up, withered, and finally fell backward to the ground, disintegrating into a pile of dust that drifted into the air.

"Goenitz, from now on, you will investigate an organization called NEST-S, or NEST-NEST. I need all its information. Yashiro and Chris will cooperate." Ishihara Akira ignored Yamazaki Ryuji's death and directly ordered Goenitz, who also showed no unusual expression.

“As you command, my lord,” Goenitz replied, bowing his head.

“Mature, Vice, and Shermie, you three stay. The rest of you may leave.”

"Yes."

Then, Goenitz stood up, and with him glancing back at Shermie and Chris looking back repeatedly as if reluctant to part with Shermie, they left the area at the foot of Mount Fuji.

"Mature, Vice, I need you to take complete control of Rugal's business, make it yours, and then mobilize all the power you have to investigate the information about the distant lands." After Goenitz and the others left, Ishihara Akira instructed Mature and Vice, who remained behind.

"Yes, my lord."

"As for now, come with me to see two people first."

After saying that, Ishihara Akira waved his sleeve, and the four of them immediately disappeared from the foot of Mount Fuji. In the blink of an eye, they appeared in a large room that was not grand, but whose decorations were elegant and noble in every detail. There they met Kagura Chizuru and Kagura Maki, who were dressed as shrine maidens.

“I don’t think I need to introduce them again,” Ishihara Akira said to Mature and the other two, who had adapted to the change in time and space and could see their surroundings clearly.

"What does Master mean..." Weiss asked, a sinister smile spreading across her face.

“Let me formally explain to you that from today onwards, the Kagura sisters, Kagura Chizuru and the entire Kagura family, will exist as my exclusive servant family. So put away your hostility. I do not wish to see you and them in conflict at any time,” Ishihara Akira explained.

End of Chapter 664

Having settled the relationship between the Eight Orochi and the Kagura family, the rest was simple. Based on Orochi's sense of its own kind, it was just a matter of collecting other Gaia clones all over the world. This was no problem for Ishihara Sho, who already had Orochi in his hands!

Because of their past experience dealing with Orochi, they become even more adept at handling other clones.

For example, when dealing with the dragon veins in China, Ishihara Akira only spent less than a week—

Of course, this is also related to the fact that the dragon veins in China have been suppressed by experts since the Qin and Han dynasties, and this practice has been imitated by successive dynasties, so that by modern times the dragon veins were already so weak that they were on the verge of collapse.

Therefore, the effort spent this week was not on how to suppress the dragon vein, but on preventing it from completely collapsing while suppressing it. Otherwise, Ishihara Akane could have obtained ownership of the dragon vein in just two days.

Then, as the two merged, an even stronger sensation surged into Ishihara Kaname's heart...

Following that were the great serpents worshipped in the Persian region, in distant lands of Europe, in Wales (a type of giant snake in Africa), in North and South America, and in Oceania and Antarctica…

As for the obstacles encountered during this period—

For example, the Distant Land Clan, the African Hermits, and the NESTS organization are all minor problems for Ishihara Shou. Whether it's the members of the Distant Land Clan, who possess nearly the power of the Eight Heroes of the Mighty Orphans and whose methods are even more bizarre, or the NESTS organization, which has technological means and has quietly taken the lead in the world by building a lunar base and an Earth orbital space station, they are all easily dealt with by mind control in front of Ishihara Shou, who can go to the sky, go to the earth, and travel in the sea!

Even if that doesn't work, he still has magic and martial arts; there's bound to be one that suits these guys.

So when Ishihara Sho gathered all the large serpent splits he sensed together and began to synthesize Gaia's consciousness, all the males of the Faraway Land clan died, leaving only the women brainwashed and handed over to Mature and Vice for modification.

All the high-ranking members of the NESTS organization, namely the bosses, are dead, leaving only some mid-level and lower-level members and cyborg clones. Moreover, the chip control in their minds is in the hands of Ishihara Sho.

Aside from changing owners, the NESTS organization is basically unchanged, continuing to operate quietly as before under the management of Deanna and Foxy, female executives quickly promoted by Ishihara Shou...

It just won't cause any more trouble like in the original story.

……

Then, Ishihara Sho refined the synthesized Gaia concept into his body, and then resonated with the planet—

"Thump, thump, thump..."

A violent, thunderous heartbeat instantly spread across the entire Earth, binding the heartbeats of all humanity and causing them to unconsciously synchronize with the massive heartbeat.

Then, a unique sense was activated, and Ishihara Sho, like a god, instantly gained all of Earth's senses, abilities, and control over weather and nature!

Humans are like the hairs on one's body. If he wanted to, no matter if you were on the African continent, an island nation in the Far East, or the North or South Pole, whether you were indoors or outdoors, awake or asleep, every move and every situation of that person could be clearly presented in Ishihara Sho's mind.

And this is only the most basic part.

Immediately afterward, Ishihara Yu's sensory perception seemed to transcend dimensions, suddenly rising from the perspective of the entire Earth, breaking through a certain level. In an instant, countless scenes of Earth began to appear in Ishihara Yu's mind—

The worlds of Naruto, Light Feather Flying, Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber, Under One Person, and A Certain Magical Index...

It can be said that he can clearly perceive any world that Ishihara has marked and that he has control over.

And this is only a part of the information that can be perceived; much more, there are worlds that even Ishihara Sho has never been to...

"What am I? A Great Luo?" Ishihara Akane wondered to himself, noticing that this situation was rather unusual.

"No, that's not right. My multiple perspectives are entirely achieved with the help of Gaia, or even some other inexplicable factor. So I'm not a Great Luo yet. At most, I'm a pseudo-Great Luo. My true level is probably still at the Taiyi realm, but I'm no longer a Celestial Immortal, but a Taiyi Golden Immortal!"

"As for when I can become a true Great Luo, that may only be possible after I find my own source point, or after I have refined enough worlds and can perceive the spacetime and the river of destiny that covers the vast universe."

After a pause, Ishihara Akira pondered, "However, this state is actually very helpful for me to refine the real Earth ahead of time, so that I can break free from these constraints and live a completely carefree life..."

"In that case, let's go back and start refining Earth."

After thinking it over, Ishihara Akira didn't waste any more words. He casually split off a clone and a part of Gaia's consciousness, leaving them in the King of Fighters world to continue their carefree life. Then, he himself turned into a streak of light and returned to the real world.

……

However, although he possessed Gaia's consciousness, it was ultimately Gaia's consciousness from the King of Fighters world, differing somewhat from the Gaia of the real world's planet. It required adjustment. Therefore, after returning, Ishihara Shou didn't immediately leave his secluded training area. Instead, he remained there, concentrating on sensing the Gaia consciousness within him. Then, he activated the unique privileges granted to him by being pulled into the Nightmare Space by the entire world. Together, they sensed the Gaia consciousness of Earth's reality—

First, there was only silence and desolation, a vast and mysterious void.

Then came a sudden, profound stillness, where countless stars converged.

Then, a huge, indescribable entity appeared in Ishihara Sho's perception and conveyed a friendly aura to him, making him realize that he had found the real deal.

Without further ado, he immediately used the Gaia consciousness in his possession as the source and interface, and began refining the Gaia consciousness before him through contact between the two.

Although the Gaia consciousness before him was complete, unlike the fragmented state of Orochi from the King of Fighters world, Ishihara Shou's experience was invaluable. With the Gaia consciousness at his disposal as a guide and his world authority as assistance, it didn't take too long.

In just three to five days, the Gaia consciousness on Earth in the real world took on the shape of Ishihara Sho and could cooperate according to his commands.

Therefore, Ishihara Sho no longer stood on ceremony and immediately got up and left the room where he was in seclusion. In a flash, he arrived above Antarctica, ten thousand meters in the air, and released his treasure for achieving enlightenment—the Chaos Bell.

"when!"

After the soft chimes faded, the Chaos Bell burst forth with a dazzling light as brilliant as the sun. Then, the light expanded, and countless tiny stars rapidly spread outwards from the bell, like a vast constellation of stars, quickly enveloping the entire Earth.

Formation: The Celestial Star Formation!

Then, with ripples spreading, the entire Earth disappeared from the sight of the gods in the higher realms.

Of course, as the managers of infinite worlds, the gods cannot always keep their eyes on Earth where Ishihara Sho is. Besides, even people slack off at work, let alone gods.

Therefore, even if there were a deity specifically managing the Earth where Ishihara Sho is located, it is possible that they simply didn't notice the changes at this time.

Therefore, despite the grand scale of the Zhou Tianxing Formation, no deity descended to investigate the specific situation.

Seeing this, Ishihara Sho secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Not daring to delay, he immediately activated the Chaos Bell again, controlling it to devour the entire Earth.

As for the moon?

We can deal with it after we've taken care of Earth.

……

The process of engulfing the Earth was not as long as Ishihara Sho had initially imagined.

After all, when he devoured Earth, not only did Gaia cooperate, but the entire Earth was also modified by him using human will. Even if the modification was not completed, it was still incomparable to ordinary planets.

Furthermore, the Chaos Bell now is not the same Chaos Bell he created in the Yangshen World. After his trip to the A Certain Magical Index World, with a large number of pseudo-Great Thousand Seeds filling the Zhou Tian Star Array, the Chaos Bell can not only devour planets, but also destroy them with a single shake of the bell. So what about Earth, which will actively cooperate?

Therefore, within minutes, the entire Earth was drawn into the Middle Thousand Worlds inside the Chaos Bell.

Then, Ishihara Yuuki used the same method to deal with the moon, and without lingering, he tore open the boundary between reality and illusion and entered the nightmare space in his true form once again!

After selecting a suitable location, the Earth and the Moon were released...

They completely transformed the Earth into their own realm of desire!

It also freed me from all ties and troubles, allowing me to truly live a carefree life.

"Now let's see how you find me, Mara." Looking at the Earth, which had already joined its own system and begun to operate, Ishihara Sho muttered with great delight.

"Next, I will try to use Gaia's consciousness to trace my origin and see if I can reverse the original world where I was born and achieve the Great Luo..."

Then, Ishihara Akane sat down cross-legged and focused his attention, examining one by one all the worlds related to Earth that he could perceive through Gaia's consciousness, exploring his own original planet among them.

The End.

---Aside---

P.S.: Since no one likes me continuing down this path, I'll end it here, take a few days off, catch up on some anime, and start brainstorming ideas for a new book.

However, there will be updates to this book later, but in the form of extra chapters, about once a day, to maintain popularity and prevent people from forgetting me after a long time.

Probably that's it.

Here are the follow-up arrangements and updates.

As mentioned in the previous chapter, it seems that no one wants me to continue writing this, and there's really nothing else to write about—mainly because I'm short on anime content and need to restock, so I'll just end it here.

But just because it's finished doesn't mean I'll stop updating. After all, even if I start a new book right away, it will take a month or two for it to be available. Although this income isn't much, it's still some income. So, I'll probably update it once a day by writing side stories, until the new book comes out.

However, the new book won't be released immediately, as I need to catch up on the anime series. So there will likely be a gap in my reading schedule for a while. If you want to read the new book, please join the group or follow the updates for this book. I will send out a notification when it's released so everyone can come and support it.

That's all I wanted to say.

Thank you all for your support along the way.

I know I'm regressing, for various reasons.

But because of writing books, my health has deteriorated, and I'm getting old. I no longer have the opportunity to find a job, so I can only rely on this line of work to make a living. Therefore, I will continue to work hard, and I hope everyone will continue to support me in the future.

The demon bows in gratitude here.
