Tokyo: I am the Lord of All Demons!

With the Aragami's command, the servant god Chun's personality underwent a tremendous change, like turning the pages of a book. His eyes were no longer hazy, but became clearer than ever before.

It was because she accepted her persona as the servant god Chun that her golden body slowly transformed back into her original shrine maiden attire.

However, the appearance of this shrine maiden's outfit is different from that of ordinary people. It is darker in color and more like a ghost.

As for the headless female corpse on the lawn, that former body of hers had become an incorruptible "specimen".

No, that's not a specimen.

That was her past life.

Now, this is her present life.

She is the shikigami Chun.

What is a "shikigami"?

Shikigami, also known as servant gods.

They are beings that are generally more advanced and more powerful than divine messengers. For example, Chun's combat power is much stronger than Fujita Mino's after he was reborn as a shikigami, but he is subject to greater restrictions.

What are the limitations of shikigami?

The answer is that, compared to divine messengers, shikigami (spirits) lack the freedom of their bodies and minds and must stay by their superiors' side at all times, carrying out any orders to the end.

It can be said that a shikigami is a shadow clone of the god who is absolutely obedient to his commands, except that this clone has its own will, nothing more.

After accepting her new identity, the shikigami Chun didn't say another word; she had completely forgotten everything from her past.

Yes, she has no worries now, no worries about birth, aging, sickness and death, and no worries about family or love.

Right now, she's just an obedient girl standing beside Makoto Araki, doing whatever the god asks her to do.

Araki Makoto was very satisfied with Chun's obedience, so he turned his head to look at the real world below.

He pointed to the Shinto Hall and asked, "Ah Chun, tell me, how do we break this deadlock?"

With a blank expression, Chun said, "Does Lord Aragami want Chun to destroy Hanako Sachiko?"

Makoto Araki didn't answer, but instead asked, "Can you do it?"

“It only won’t work at night. If it’s during the day, it’s as simple as this…” Chun said, flipping her palm and the back of her hand in front of Araki Makoto, as if to show that she could turn the world upside down with a flick of her wrist.

Chapter 145 Negotiation

Makoto Araki has no doubt about Jun's ability to defeat Sachiko Hanako during the day.

Or rather, he didn't doubt his ability to create "shadow clones," but since they were clones, they were definitely not as powerful as his original body.

What is Makoto Araki's true form? He is a god who remains powerful regardless of day or night; he is a true god.

As for why he didn't intervene to stop the farce of the ghosts and the divine messengers fighting, it was simply because he himself was happy to see it happen.

If he really wanted to stop it, he wouldn't even need to lift a finger; a few words of reprimand for Hanako and Sachiko would be enough to end the fight.

The problem now is that Makoto Araki wants this battle to end quickly, in whatever way.

However, it was not convenient for him to take action himself, so he decided to increase his investment in the Divine Messenger camp to strengthen the power of the righteous side. For example, the resurrection of Morita Jun into Jun was based on this consideration.

……

……

Time flies.

Before we knew it, it was 2 p.m., the hottest time of day. Under such high temperatures, the Hundred Demons activities in Tokyo were almost completely halted.

In contrast, the activities of the divine messengers were much more lively. For example, Shimizu Suzune was the first to wake up, feeling refreshed.

She walked out of the Shinto Hall and onto the deserted streets, feeling that she could hold her own against Hanako Sachiko at her peak that night.

It's a pity that a peak-level divine messenger versus a peak-level ghost spirit seems to be impossible, otherwise it would be absolutely spectacular.

Suzune Shimizu got up early, not just to go shopping. In fact, after Tokyo became a ghost town, everything was in a mess and there was nothing to shop about.

She walks the streets to patrol and deter the evil spirits lurking in the shadows, and if she's lucky, she hopes to find where Hanako Sachiko is.

When it comes to finding Hanako and Sachiko, the best way for Shimizu Suzune and the others would have been to use urban legend websites like 2ch and rely on the help of netizens to find them.

Unfortunately, Tokyo is now a ghost town, and no netizens can find Hanako Sachiko for them anymore.

This is one of the key reasons why Hanako Sachiko can hide during the day.

If there are still many people in Tokyo, then by mobilizing them, it shouldn't be long before we find Hanako Sachiko...

Since there are very few people in Tokyo, the Shinto Office has to patrol on its own to try to find information about Hanako Sachiko. Most of the police inspectors in the office have already been dispatched.

However, Tokyo is so big, and it's a 3D structure, that finding Hanako Sachiko, who is hiding in the shadows, with just a few people is as difficult as climbing to the sky.

However, Shimizu Suzune was not entirely helpless against the ghosts hiding in the shadows. For example, she tried to activate the divine messenger's vision to search for the ghosts in the shadows, and she succeeded.

However, instead of finding Hanako and Sachiko, they found some low-level elite monsters. These ghosts weren't very valuable at the moment, and Shimizu Suzune didn't want to go to the trouble of eliminating them.

Just then, Shimizu Rinne suddenly had a flash of inspiration. She discovered that a powerful demonic force was approaching from the ground!

Shimizu Suzune was startled and quickly summoned her divine weapon, the White Blade, and stood in the sunlight, ready for battle.

A short while later, the ghostly force underground shifted to the soil beneath a roadside tree and then stopped moving forward.

Shimizu Rinne gripped her white blade tightly and began to approach the roadside trees. At that moment, a shadow suddenly appeared under the trees.

Upon closer inspection, it wasn't a shadow.

It was a human figure.

Or rather, it was a ghostly figure.

The ghost was about 1.5 meters tall. She wore red princess shoes and a long red dress with a large bow tied at the back.

"What the hell are you?" Shimizu Suzune asked tentatively, almost instinctively.

The other party replied, "Enma Ai."

Upon hearing this, Shimizu Suzune's eyelids twitched violently. The previous demon king hadn't been dealt with yet, and now another one was coming.

The sky is falling!

Just as Shimizu Rin was about to break down, Enma Ai spoke up again: "Don't misunderstand, I'm here to help you defeat Hanako Sachiko."

"Huh?" Shimizu Suzune initially doubted whether she had misheard.

However, Shimizu Rin quickly regained her composure, her thoughts racing.

Thinking about it carefully, even humans fight amongst themselves. It doesn't seem so unbelievable that a demon king would want to defeat another demon king with the help of a divine messenger.

Ultimately, whether human or ghost, when it comes to matters of interest, they can turn against each other and fight amongst themselves.

The girl who called herself Enma Ai revealed a sinister smile: "You really want to know where Hanako Sachiko is, don't you?"

Shimizu Suzune nodded, neither confirming nor denying, "That's the idea."

Enma Ai smiled and said, "If I could tell you where they are hiding, what benefits would you offer me?"

"Benefits...?" Shimizu Rinne frowned, momentarily at a loss for words.

benefit?

What are the benefits?

Or rather, what benefits could the divine messenger offer the spirits? Could it be a promise on behalf of the Shinto Temple not to exterminate them?

The Shinto Office is not the kind of organization that indiscriminately hunts down all ghosts. The Shinto Office believes in punishing evil and promoting good. As long as a ghost does not harm people, it will not be on the Shinto Office's kill list.

Regarding the question of benefits, Shimizu Suzune racked her brains but couldn't come up with anything, so she could only ask Enma Ai: "Since you've come here, you must have thought about what kind of 'benefits' you want. Tell me, state your conditions."

"I don't want any benefits." Enma Ai smiled mysteriously. "Killing Hanako Sachiko would be beneficial to me."

"Why?" Shimizu Suzune's gaze sharpened slightly; she immediately sensed that Enma Ai's purpose in coming here was far from simple!

Enma Ai's lips curled up slightly, a smile on her face, but her tone carried a hint of malice: "Because of Hanako Sachiko, they've wiped out all the citizens of Tokyo and driven them all to other cities. How can my Hell Communication continue to operate like this?"

This statement is a lie.

Her Hell Correspondence was not limited to the Tokyo metropolitan area; it had no effect on the cursed or cursed individuals even if they were in other cities, it just meant they had to travel further away.

What Enma Ai truly hated was that Hanako Sachiko had stolen the limelight, not only nearly defeating the divine messenger but also establishing an unparalleled prestige among the demons.

Sachiko Hanako's flamboyance naturally aroused the dissatisfaction of many spirits, among whom Ai Enma felt that the cake had been touched.

She was clearly the Demon King, the only one capable of leading the demons to conquer the world! Yet someone else had beaten her to it! How could Enma Ai not hate Hanako Sachiko?

Moreover, Hanako and Sachiko are hostile to humans. If the two of them were to rule over humanity, it would inevitably lead to a war between humans and demons, which is currently underway.

If Enma had fallen in love with Yamamura Kikuko and joined hands with her, perhaps this chaotic world of war between humans and demons would not have occurred.

However, no matter how Enma Ai tried to argue, Shimizu Suzune remained skeptical of her words.

Ghosts and spirits are not to be trusted!

The Ghost King is even less believable!

Therefore, Shimizu Suzune maintained her distance from Enma Ai and instead questioned, "What you're saying is just empty talk, how can I believe you?"

However, Enma Ai scoffed at this: "Oh dear, do you have the right to question me now? You divine messengers are barely able to protect yourselves, aren't you?"

Shimizu Suzune fell silent.

They were truly out of resources, having just lost a key general the previous night, severely crippling their combat capabilities.

Anyway, things can't get any worse, right? Maybe we should see what Enma Ai is up to first, Shimizu Suzune thought to herself.

So she asked, "Then tell me, what do you want our divine messengers to do?"

Enma Ai shook her head, a dimple appearing on her face: "I said, I don't need you to do anything. Rather, I will provide you with all the necessary assistance, such as information about Hanako Sachiko's abilities."

"Then let me ask you!" Shimizu Suzune suddenly spoke loudly, her eyes wide open.

"You...you ask..." Enma Ai was caught off guard by the divine messenger's reaction and was momentarily speechless.

Shimizu Suzune asked directly, "When we were fighting Hanako Sachiko, everyone was divided into pairs, but everyone was in their own world's Shinto Hall, and everyone had to face a Hanako Sachiko. Do you understand what I mean?"

After the other party asked the question, Enma Ai breathed a sigh of relief: "Sure, isn't this just an illusion? Create an independent space, then pull people into it, and then create clones of yourself to attack the enemy from multiple angles."

Seeing that the other person understood, Shimizu Suzune quickly asked, "How do we break their illusion?!"

Enma Ai calmly explained, "It's very simple. As long as we can accurately strike their weaknesses and weaken their demonic power, the illusion will collapse on its own."
