Tokyo: I am the Lord of All Demons!

"Me..." Ishikawa Risa hesitated, because she saw that Fujita Mino and Morita Jun were both giving her bad looks.

What's going on...?

Clearly, Shimizu Suzune hopes that Ishikawa Risa will side with her, or at least express a neutral opinion.

As for why Ishikawa Risa, a newly joined member of the Shinto Order, has the right to speak, it's because she fought Hanako, and it was a one-on-one duel outside the Shinto Hall. Perhaps she knows something different about Hanako.

Because she knows too much, Ishikawa Risa now feels like she's being roasted over a fire, her brain is sizzling, and she's about to be "cooked" by the high temperature generated by her rapidly running thoughts.

Under the watchful eyes of the three, it took a while before Ishikawa Risa finally figured out how to answer.

She said, "My opinion is that I request guidance from the Supreme God."

This statement is brilliant; it avoids the hatred that might arise from not taking sides, and cleverly deflects the problem.

Seeing her like this, Shimizu Rinne didn't know what to say to her. After all, the deity's will was an absolute command, and the deity was always right; this could not be questioned.

Fujita Mino and Morita Jun had similar thoughts to Shimizu Suzune. They originally wanted to crush Shimizu Suzune, the first divine messenger, with a 3-1 score, but they failed.

But they were not completely defeated. Even if Risa Ishikawa did not take sides, the result is still two to one, so they still won!

Just as they stepped forward in unison, preparing to persuade Shimizu Suzune with a two-to-one result, the body of the First Divine Envoy in front of them suddenly faded.

"What's going on? What's wrong with her?" Seeing Shimizu Suzune's unusual behavior, Ishikawa Risa couldn't help but ask.

Fujita Mino and Morita Jun had no choice but to back down together, while simultaneously signaling Ishikawa Risa to "mute".

Jun Morita said to her, "Shh, it might be the High God coming..."

"What? Goddess..." Risa Ishikawa exclaimed involuntarily, while covering her mouth.

The moment Shimizu Suzune's translucent body began to emit divine light, Fujita Mino and Morita Jun finally confirmed the fact that the supreme god was about to descend into reality.

They hurriedly pulled Ishikawa Risa down to their knees, but they weren't kneeling to Shimizu Suzune; they were kneeling to Goddess Uesugi.

"Kami-sama!"

Yes, Makoto Araki did indeed descend, but he did not appear directly in front of all the divine messengers. Instead, he chose the first divine messenger, Suzune Shimizu, and descended directly into her heart.

After a while, the divine light on Shimizu Rin gradually disappeared, her body became no longer transparent, and she returned to her normal state.

At this point, the supreme deity had completed issuing his decree to her and then quickly departed.

Seeing that Shimizu Rin had returned to normal, the three divine messengers stood up and looked at her face, anticipating her words.

Shimizu Rin opened her eyes and slowly recounted the decree of God: "The Supreme God told me that Hanako will become the Demon King tomorrow night, at which time the world will be in extreme chaos. We need to suppress Hanako, who has become the Demon King, within a controllable area."

Shimizu Suzune continued, "The High God also said that if the cost is too high, we don't need to make the complete annihilation of Hanako our goal. We just need to dispel most of the demonic power in her body so that she can no longer affect human society for a short period of time."

Then, Shimizu Suzune delivered the final message: "The High God also said that we need to pay special attention to Shinozaki Sachiko, as she may join forces with Hanako."

Upon hearing her words, Fujita Mino, Morita Jun, and Ishikawa Risa all fell silent.

Especially Fujita Mino, she never imagined that Shinozaki Sachiko would one day collude with Hanako.

Fujita Mino even blurted out what was on her mind: "This is terrible. If Shinozaki Sachiko joins us, the few of us divine messengers won't be enough..."

Her concerns were not unfounded, because Sachiko Shinozaki was the embodiment of the Heavenly God Academy, and was absolutely invincible within it.

However, the Heavenly God School is not actually immovable. If Sachiko Shinozaki wants to, she can move the Heavenly God School to the area where Hanako is located at any time.

If Sachiko Shinozaki joins the battle, at least two divine messengers will have to fight her, but then Hanako-san will be outmatched, and the two divine messengers have no chance of defeating her.

"What's wrong? Is Shinozaki Sachiko very strong...?" Ishikawa Risa asked, tilting her head.

“Very strong, ridiculously strong. She might be the number one person after Hanako.” Fujita Mino turned her head and stared at Ishikawa Risa’s face, making a serious face to show that she was not exaggerating.

Jun Morita, who was also standing on the side, disagreed. She thought that Mino Fujita and Suzune Shimizu were afraid of Sachiko Shinozaki because Sachiko Shinozaki was a very strong spirit in the early days, but she was not among the top spirits.

However, since Jun Morita had never actually fought Sachiko Shinozaki, he dared not draw any conclusions.

Since it involves Sachiko Shinozaki, we can only let the experienced Suzune Shimizu and Mino Fujita make the decisions.

Shimizu Suzune frowned, her voice becoming heavy: "If Heavenly God Academy joins the war, that's the worst-case scenario..."

Just then, Ishikawa Risa raised her hand and asked, "Shimizu-san, have you asked the God of the Underworld for help? If he could help, wouldn't things be much simpler for us?"

Everyone looked at her.

……

……

The divine messengers were having a headache, and Miss Hanako was having a headache too. She couldn't sleep, tossing and turning. She kept feeling that there were too many divine messengers on Earth. What if they couldn't defeat so many?

Or perhaps we should seek help from the Supreme God?

However, she quickly dismissed this idea. As a ghost king, how could she be defeated without a fight? At least she should test their strength first, so that she could better explain herself to the supreme god later.

Chapter 133 Searching for Hanako

As a result, both the divine messengers and the ghosts felt they were no match for each other and wanted to seek help from their lord, Araki Makoto, to resolve the situation.

This is not what he wanted to see. The scene he wanted was a grand spectacle of gods and demons fighting, a battle so fierce it darkened the heavens and the earth.

The current situation, with everyone asking him for help, feels like a game of make-believe.

Now that things have escalated to this point, Makoto Araki is starting to doubt whether his excessive intervention in the battle between the divine messengers and the demons is still the right thing to do. Should he try a different approach, such as letting them roam free?

Overall, Makoto Araki was quite satisfied with them. The ghosts, led by Hanako, caused panic, while the divine messengers, led by Suzune Shimizu, brought hope.

In particular, in the past few days, at least five shrines have converted to the "Arakami" under the call of the Shinto Agency, which has laid the most solid foundation for Makoto Araki's eternal existence.

Years later, as long as people still believe in this ara-shin (wild god), he is theoretically immortal, which is the charm of Japanese gods and the power of incense offerings.

Of course, in the end, Hanako did not call out the name of her goddess; the thought of asking for help had just crossed her mind before she extinguished it herself.

The thought was extinguished because of a noise nearby; she sensed an incredible force surging towards her.

The peculiarity of this power lies not in its sheer strength, but in the fact that it is, in fact, ghostly power…

Perhaps because Japan is still too big, Hanako has been in the real world for so long and has never seen another urban legend.

Could it be a supreme god?

wrong.

Absolutely not.

The power of the Supreme God is several times greater than this power.

As Hanako was still pondering, the demonic power drew ever closer, accompanied by a deafening roar. The next second, a girl in a black school uniform, propelled by a wave-like force, rushed towards Hanako.

That's right, the newcomer is JC (JK is a female high school student, JC is a female junior high school student, and JS is a female elementary school student). This JC is now looking down at Hanako.

The place where Hanako is now is not a secluded spot. It is just an apartment that is temporarily uninhabited and there are no defenses here, so it should not be surprising who appears here.

Even so, Hanako was still puzzled that others dared to approach her. Even if the other party was a ghost, they should have shown respect for the strong.

Someone just barged in like that. Hanako's face quickly turned ugly. She pointed at JC's face and asked, "Who are you...?"

The police officer introduced herself: "My name is Sachiko Shinozaki. Of course, if you want to know my other name, you'd better be prepared..."

After the other person spoke, Hanako lowered her guard, and a slight smile appeared on her lips: "Oh? What's your other name?"

Seeing the other party's disdain, she knew they were not someone to be trifled with, but Shinozaki Sachiko wasn't about to lose face. She said in a proud tone, "Heavenly God Academy."

Miss Hanako scoffed, "Oh, I thought you were another demon king, but it turns out you're just one..."

Shinozaki Sachiko interrupted her, continuing, "I'm not here to play games with you. We need to join forces to fight against the divine messengers."

Hanako remained dismissive, saying, "Did Cammy-sama send you to help me?"

Sachiko Shinozaki, however, did not intend to answer her directly: "Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask."

These words indeed startled Miss Hanako. As the Demon King, she was also unable to disobey the orders of the High God.

Then, she created a virtual space for the Celestial Academy, bent down, pointed inside, and said, "It's easy to be disturbed when resting in reality, so come into my space."

Hanako neither refused nor said anything; she simply glanced at Sachiko Shinozaki a few times before going inside.

Shinozaki Sachiko followed them back, and then the entrance to the virtual space closed, disappearing into the dark space.

……

……

The Shinto Hall is still holding a meeting.

Ultimately, the pro-war faction, led by Shimizu Suzune and Fujita Mino, reached a consensus at the meeting.

They decided to completely defeat Hanako before she fully became the Demon King, and if Sachiko Shinozaki joined the battle, they would destroy her and the Heavenly God School together.

As for where their confidence comes from, it comes from the Supreme God. The Supreme God is always their strongest backing, so they are willing to fight to extinguish the arrogance of the Demon King Hanako.

Shimizu Suzune stood up and announced the meeting's outcome: "Then let's act quickly and nip Miss Hanako in the bud. In the process, we must maintain contact."

“Received!” Fujita Mino, Morita Jun, and Ishikawa Risa all expressed their approval in unison.

Subsequently, the divine messengers, along with police inspectors drawn from outside, split into three groups to conduct a full-scale manhunt for the demons throughout Tokyo.

Believe it or not, during the search for Hanako, they actually found a few poor little devils, who were then wiped out by the divine messenger.

Destroying a minor demon would be a piece of cake for the divine messenger. Only a demon spirit like Yamamura Kikuko could put up a fight against the divine messengers who nowadays all possess divine artifacts.

Incidentally, the purpose of this mission by these divine messengers was not only to target Miss Hanako, but also to thoroughly investigate the movements of all the ghosts and spirits in Tokyo.

The method of investigation is very simple. The divine messengers all have the ability to sense ghostly power. Now, they can sense a faint ghostly power even when they are standing several kilometers away.

Shimizu Suzune led her own team, accompanied by two police inspectors who helped with driving and carrying equipment. The area she needed to search was Chiyoda Ward and several surrounding administrative districts.

In order to search for Hanako efficiently, Shimizu Suzune also carried the Yata no Kagami (Eight-Span Mirror) to enhance her divine power and thus expand the range within which she could sense demonic power.

Fujita Mino also had her own team, with only one police inspector as her personal driver.

She mainly searched the Nakano Ward, especially the Nakano Ward Municipal Junior High School. If she was lucky enough to meet Sachiko Shinozaki, she would definitely try to persuade her not to get involved with Hanako.

Fujita Mino didn't know if she could persuade Shinozaki Sachiko, but if she didn't try, who knew if it would work?

There was another team, of course, consisting of Jun Morita and Risa Ishikawa, whose search location was Nerima Ward.

What's in Nerima Ward?

Nothing.

The main reason is that Nerima is a large administrative district and far from Shinto Hall, so there is a good reason to suspect that Hanako is hiding there to escape.
