Tokyo: I am the Lord of All Demons!

In Qian's understanding, since the existence of divine messengers is so weak, they must be able to be "mass-produced". Since they can be mass-produced, then theoretically, the other party's god would not cherish them so much.

Unless this divine messenger is truly the opponent's weakness, he will not take action.

Suddenly, Akane realized something and asked Ooi Yushin directly, "You mean, the opposing god intervened, but only rescued one of the divine messengers, while this one was left behind?"

Ooi Yuuomi scratched his head, his face full of question marks: "Yes, I also think the other party's divine behavior is very strange. He doesn't seem to intend to kill me, even though it's just a matter of lifting a finger. With this kind of power, he should be able to easily hunt down the hellish brats who are transporting Shimizu Suzune."

Akane's pupils dilated slightly. She quickly floated to "Shimizu Rinne's" side, squatted down, and reached out to probe the body.

“It’s genuine,” Qian said.

Ooi Yutomi asked, puzzled, "It's genuine, is there a problem?"

Qian said with a serious expression, "The other party may have deliberately let us capture her; this could be a trap."

Ooi Yutomi still didn't understand why Akane had so many doubts: "Even if it's a trap, so what? You can just devour her, turn her divine power into demonic power, and take it for yourself. Wouldn't that achieve our goal?"

As Akane spoke, she placed her hand on Shimizu Suzune's forehead again and said, "I need to determine whether this is a man or a woman first."

Yuomi Ooi didn't know why Akane was so concerned about gender, but since she had said so, he explained directly: "If she is a divine messenger, then she must be female, and there are no other male divine messengers in the Shinto Hall."

Qian didn't speak, but her expression became serious during the probe.

"How is it?" Ooi Yutomi couldn't help but ask with concern.

Akane said, "The soul is indeed female, but the depths of her soul are locked. I cannot read her thoughts, and I cannot confirm whether she is Shimizu Suzune or not."

After thinking for a long time, Ooi Yushin still couldn't understand why Akane was so cautious, so he stepped forward and said, "I'm very sure that she is Shimizu Suzune. I would recognize her even if she turned to ashes."

Akane looked at Ooi Yushin with a serious expression and said, "You're too naive. Sometimes what you see isn't necessarily the truth. It could be someone else pretending. Even if she is a divine messenger, she should be unable to block her soul since she's already unconscious."

Upon hearing this, Ooi Yushin took a closer look at "Shimizu Suzune's" face and noticed that her eyebrows twitched.

Ooi Yutomi hurriedly pointed to Shimizu Suzune's face and said, "She's awake!"

Upon hearing this, Qian turned her head to look.

She did wake up.

"Shimizu Rin" slowly opened her eyes as if she had just woken up, and even rubbed her sleepy eyes with her hands.

Qian was somewhat surprised by this.

Because she detected the "Shimizu Suzune" status early on, and this status hasn't changed since then.

This further suggests that "Shimizu Suzune" may not have fainted, or she may have woken up early and was just pretending to be asleep.

But whatever the reason, these doubts only made Akane more suspicious and more cautious in her treatment of "Shimizu Suzune".

Akane wasn't in a hurry, but seeing that the other party had woken up, Ooi Yuomi was on high alert and quickly summoned the Grim Reaper's Scythe.

"Shimizu Rinne" was no pushover either. She transformed into a beam of divine light and shot into the sky, but instead of fleeing the scene, she landed on the grass ten meters away.

Yuomi Ooi acted swiftly, transforming into a black beam of light and striking in front of "Rinne Shimizu," raising the Grim Reaper's Scythe.

"Shimizu Suzune" was not a lamb to the slaughter. She immediately conjured a longsword and parried Ooi Yushin's attack.

Yuomi Ooi was puzzled that his move had been parried. When did Suzune Shimizu become so powerful?

Shouldn't she be a newbie?

How could he actually catch the Grim Reaper's scythe?

Furthermore, shouldn't her divine weapons be a blade and a dark bow? When did she change them to a longsword?

Ooi Yushin had many ideas, but the other party didn't give him a chance to think about them. He simply raised his foot and kicked him to the ground.

Akane, who had been watching from the sidelines, finally couldn't hold back any longer. She suddenly exerted force with her right foot and shot towards the divine messenger girl like an arrow.

Then, it unleashed a demonic claw, grabbing at the chest of the divine messenger girl.

In the next instant, the seemingly "caught off guard" girl's chest was pierced by the ghostly claw, and she fell to the ground like a robot that had lost its power.

Seeing how frail she was, Qian was still puzzled, but she immediately used her sword to support herself on the ground and got up.

If she hadn't resisted, it would have been difficult to dispel Qian's doubts, but she did resist, and kept resisting, which dispelled Qian's doubts.

Even so, Akane still didn't completely believe that "Shimizu Suzune" was herself.

Or rather, they didn't believe she could be captured so easily and then surrender without resistance.

I don't believe any of this.

Ultimately, Akane still didn't believe in Ooi Yushin's abilities, nor did she believe in the deity behind the divine messenger; she always felt there was something fishy going on.

Akane opened her arms—

A pair of fangs protruded from her cherry-like mouth, making her look like a vampire.

A pair of black wings grew from her petite back, and a large number of black feathers were scattered, so many that they seemed to blot out the sky.

That wasn't all; Qian's feet grew thicker and more curved, eventually transforming into bird claws.

Seeing this, Ooi Yushin couldn't help but want to complain, "How come your Akane is a female ghost that combines Japanese bird monster and Western vampire?"

However, since the opponent was the Demon King, what Ooi Yuomi had to do was to cooperate by moving away from Akane's position, but he still kept a close watch on the situation in the park in case anything went wrong.

The next moment, Akane, with her black wings and fangs outstretched, suddenly exerted her strength and rushed towards the location of "Shimizu Suzune" like a rocket.

Then, with two claws, it grabbed the back of Shimizu Suzune's neck and back, and lifted her into the air.

Before anyone could react, Akane opened her mouth and used her fangs to pierce Shimizu Suzune's neck, breaking her artery. After the blood flowed out, she put her mouth to the artery and began to suck.

And just like that, without any struggle, "Shimizu Rinne" was quickly drained of her blood by Akane.

No, it wasn't just blood that was being sucked; even the lifeless shell of the divine messenger girl was inevitably devoured by the demon king, Akane.

Like a zombie, Ghost King Qian devoured the corpse of the divine messenger girl from head to toe in no time, leaving only a pool of blood and a pile of bloodstained clothes.

Even as she devoured the divine messenger girl, the ever-suspicious Akane remained suspicious of her prey.

First of all, Akane did indeed completely plunder the divine power of the divine messenger girl by sucking blood and devouring her flesh, and the divine power was several times greater than imagined.

However, there is a question: Akane feels as if she has not actually consumed the soul of the divine messenger girl, so even if she has completely devoured her, she still feels as if she has not eaten anything.

Forget it! I've already swallowed the divine power, so there's no way I can spit it out now.

At present, all Qian needs is time. She needs a lot of time to digest the devoured divine power so that she can transform it into her own usable demonic power.

After finishing her hunt, Qian retracted all her fangs, black wings, and demonic claws, slowly landing on the ground and transforming back into a girl.

Because she ate a shrine maiden raw, Akane's belly is now so swollen it looks like she's pregnant, as big as a balloon.

Qian's belly is too big, and she is feeling a bit uncomfortable. Walking is also not very convenient, so she simply stands up and waits for digestion.

However, the divine power within the divine messenger girl was still too overwhelming. Even though Qian had regained her footing, she still felt as if she were drunk, and her consciousness was very unstable.

Although divine power is as intoxicating as alcohol, Qian has only converted a tiny bit of it so far, yet she already feels like she's exuding an overwhelming aura. She's not sure how to describe it; perhaps it would be more appropriate to call this aura "pressure"?

Yes, that's what intimidation was all about!

I feel like a god!

……

……

Having witnessed the entire process, Ooi Yushin, perhaps feeling pressured, respectfully stepped forward: "Congratulations, Demon King! After absorbing the divine messenger, Shimizu Suzune, your demonic power is now unmatched. The entire world will submit to you..."

Chapter 182 I'm sorry to have wronged you

Ooi Yutomi knelt down and said humbly, "Compared to you, we are but dust and stars. Please give the order, and I will hunt down those remaining pitiful divine messengers, ending their lonely, painful, and ultimately fatal fate..."

While Ooi Yutomi was spouting these flattering nonsense, Akane absorbed some more divine power, and that alone doubled her original demonic power.

I dare not even imagine how much stronger I would become if I converted all of the divine power of the divine messenger girl—five times, or ten times?

Overeating can lead to indigestion, and since Qian's stomach is too bloated to fight the divine envoy, she simply shook her hand and said:

"There's no need to rush to deal with the remaining divine messengers. Besides, it's almost dawn, you should go back now!"

After saying that, he disappeared into the space, vanishing without a trace along with the hellish imps.

Ooi Yutomi frowned, but he didn't think much of it and left the park.

……

……

That said, after Fujita Mino was sacrificed in place of "Shimizu Suzune", the three-person gaming group was reduced to just two people.

In a two-person game, because Makoto Araki's skills weren't very good, he ended up failing to win in several consecutive matches.

For example, in the fifth game tonight, he still didn't get a chicken dinner. After he was ambushed by the enemy, Kitamura Eri was then ambushed by another enemy, leading to the defeat.

Upon seeing Eri Kitamura eliminated, Makoto Araki slammed his keyboard down, exclaiming, "What a trash game! I'm not playing anymore!"

Seeing this, Kitamura Eri silently picked up the broken keyboard and tidied it up. "So, what do you want to play, my lord?"

Araki Makoto sighed and said, "It's all the same no matter what I play. Even if I'm playing Rift, I still need a support/healer. Otherwise, I can't play these trash games."

Eri Kitamura frowned, glancing at the red string tied to Makoto Araki's hand. "Fujita? Her soul should be returning soon, right?"

The red string in Makoto Araki's hand is invisible to the naked eye of ordinary people, but its function is extremely important—it can ensure that a person's soul does not immediately perish after leaving the body.

Yes, even if Qian eats away at it, and even if she eats away at part of its soul, it doesn't matter.

For Makoto Araki, even if Mino Fujita only had one percent of her soul left, he could still revive her.

—This is God.

After being reminded by Kitamura Eri, Araki Makoto twitched his fingers and directly pulled the soul from the other end of the red rope.

The next second, a person who looked a lot like Fujita Mino floated into the room, but she had no lower body or feet, and the cut surface was uneven, as if she had been eaten.

After being pulled over, Fujita Mino looked pitifully at the man and woman beneath her, unable to speak.

In her soul state, she is unable to speak; one can only glean her meaning from her expressions, much like a program that cannot function without its hardware.

"I'm sorry to have wronged you," Makoto Araki teased the girl's soul.

Kitamura Eri remained silent, knowing that saying too much would only lead to more mistakes, and it was better for such a weak little brat as to speak less.

However, since Fujita Mino's soul was also unable to speak, she could only gaze longingly at the two of them, trying to convey her thoughts in this way.

Even without her saying it, Makoto Araki knew what she wanted to express; she simply wanted a new body for him.
