Tokyo: I am the Lord of All Demons!

He's going to be a ghost hero now!

Without wasting words, Ooi Yushin raised the Grim Reaper's Scythe and jumped toward the searchlight. Then, with a sudden swing, scalding blood exploded in front of him, splattering all over his face.

The killings went far beyond that.

Ooi Yushin jumped up again, this time specifically seeking helicopters for sabotage, and in no time at all, he shot down several more armed helicopters.

However, no matter how much killing Ooi Yutomi carried out, countless cannon fodder still came to their deaths, constantly filling the battle lines.

After another ten minutes of slaughter, Ooi Yushin clearly felt that his strength was running low and wanted to rest, but the cannon fodder continued to arrive in droves.

Ooi Yutomi casually dispatched a Self-Defense Force member, then scoffed, "Aren't you all afraid of dying? Are you all fakes?!"

However, before Ooi Yutomi could confirm whether these people were imposters, a new offensive came.

This time, it's no longer a human wave tactical charge, but a continuous barrage of various types of artillery shells for tactical ground bombardment!

After the last soldier next to Ooi Yutomi was dealt with, self-propelled artillery, air-launched missiles, rockets, and other shells were all fired at Ooi Yutomi's location.

However, no amount of artillery fire could solve the problem of excessive demonic power in Ooi Yushin's body. Doing so would only have one effect: to completely enrage him.

After the artillery fire, the scene was a mess, and a deep crater, resembling a meteorite crater, even appeared in the center of the impact zone.

With broken arms and legs, ragged clothes, and his face covered in soot, Ooi Yushin crawled out of the crater. "Seriously, you guys really angered me!!"

Gazing at the blood moon hanging in the sky, he roared in utter helplessness, "Once I get up, I'll kill you all!!"

It must be said that human firearms are still effective against ghosts, at least against half-human, half-ghost beings like Ooi Yushin. For example, right now, his mobility has been clearly slowed down.

If there is further artillery fire, then Ooi Yushin will not be able to extricate himself from the shell crater until the artillery fire is stopped.

Therefore, after suffering such a saturation attack, Ooi Yushin's first thought was to take revenge, and to start with the arsenal, so as to avoid being attacked again.

Despite being blown to bits and still able to move, Ooi Yushin was in considerable pain when he was hit by artillery fire.

Some ordinary shells were already giving Ooi Yushin a run for his money. What if it were a Tsar Bomba or even a nuclear warhead? Wouldn't he be blown to bits?

No, it's not just minced meat; things won't be that good. More likely, they'll be vaporized on the spot by a nuclear bomb.

However, nuclear weapons cannot be deployed at will. For example, in crowded places, people will have reservations.

Therefore, to avoid further damage, Ooi Yushin had to take action, either by attacking the arsenal or by going to a populated area.

Decided.

Yuomi Oi is about to climb into the bomb crater, and this time he plans to go to the Prime Minister's official residence or even the Imperial Palace, so he won't have to worry about being hit by shells.

Suddenly, really suddenly, while Ooi Yushin was still climbing out of the bomb crater, a foot stepped on his right hand.

Her feet weren't big, and she was wearing small leather shoes, so she looked like a woman.

Who is it?!

Ooi Yushin suddenly looked up, wanting to see who was so ungrateful as to dare step on his hand.

The moment he saw her feet, Ooi Yuomi had already devised a thousand ways to torture her, determined to torment her to death.

However, when he looked up, he saw that familiar red and white shrine maiden outfit and that familiar face—the young lady Shimizu Suzune, with her slightly chubby cheeks.

Ooi Yushin's pupils contracted sharply, and he tried to pull his hand back, but he couldn't pull it back even a little bit.

He asked in terror, "...Are you a human or a ghost?"

Shimizu Suzune laughed and said, "You yourself are a ghost, but you can't tell whether I'm a human or a ghost. Isn't that ridiculous?"

As she spoke, Shimizu Suzune summoned her pair of divine weapons—the White Blade and the Nether Bow—and held them in her left and right hands respectively.

Upon learning that the other party was not dead and had not become a ghost, Ooi Yushin's expression became noticeably more composed: "You're not dead? Was the one last time a substitute?"

Shimizu Suzune sneered, "What, Ghost King Akane doesn't understand me? It's one thing if you can't see it, but can't you see it either?"

“So, you’ve come here to settle scores with me,” said Ooi Yutomi calmly, as if the hand being stepped on wasn’t his own.

"You have committed far too many evils, you sinful soul, you should rest in peace." Shimizu Suzune said, raising the white blade in her hand and stabbing it directly at Ooi Yushin.

Ooi Yushin wasn't stupid. He knew his defenses were weak and that if he were stabbed by a blade, he would be crippled even if he didn't die. So he immediately performed a "heroic act of cutting off his own arm" and flew up.

When she saw Ooi Yutomi fly up, Shimizu Suzune was full of doubt. For a moment, she couldn't understand how he flew up, since his hands should still be under her feet!

Do you not want your hands anymore?

Shimizu Rinne lowered her head slightly, and what she saw was astonishing: Ooi Yushin had indeed severed his hand like a gecko, which was why he was able to fly.

However, contrary to what Shimizu Suzune had expected, after escaping, Ooi Yuomi did not attack her, but instead turned around and tried to fly away from the place.

"Trying to run?" Shimizu Suzune sneered, using the Dark Bow as her bow and her white blade as her arrow, immediately drawing the bow and releasing the arrow!

On one side, Shimizu Suzune swiftly completed the action of drawing her bow and charging up her strength. On the other side, Ooi Yushin was seriously injured due to underestimating his opponent, so he was now flying slowly like a mosquito.

Shimizu Rin closed one eye, calibrated her aim at the fleeing ghost, and silently counted down in her mind.

It only takes three seconds!

Three seconds!

That will allow you to charge up your power!

three!

two!

One!

Without any unexpected resistance, Shimizu Suzune's white blade successfully transformed into an arrow released from a bow, soaring into the sky!

Right in front of the arrow's point, Ooi Yushin was completely unaware of the impending danger and continued to slowly flee.

The next second, the arrow pierced the man's chest and knocked him down.

The ghost that was knocked down quickly disappeared among the buildings and vanished without a trace.

Seeing this, Shimizu Suzune turned her head and said, "Send someone to check."

She was speaking to the soldiers.

She brought a squad of soldiers with her when she approached the area, intending to have them manage the battlefield.

Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, several assault team members rushed out and boarded several armored vehicles.

After watching the armored vehicle drive away, Shimizu Suzune found a relatively tall building nearby and quickly climbed up.

Once up there, Shimizu Rinne activated her third eye to search for traces of ghosts and spirits in the vicinity.

As for why she didn't chase after them, it was because she was worried about a trap. Entering an unknown place rashly would be irresponsible to her own safety and to humanity.

After all, she is now one of the few divine messengers. If she can't even guarantee her own safety, how can she save the world?

……

……

Unfortunately, Shimizu Rinne scanned the surrounding area several times, especially the place where the ghost fell, but still couldn't find any trace of Ooi Yushin.

Shimizu Suzune frowned, completely baffled: "Where...where did this guy go?"

In her view, even if Ooi Yushin was ultimately injured by an arrow, he would still have a ghostly aura remaining, instead of being completely undetectable as he is now.

Therefore, Ooi Yutomi's unusual behavior after his defeat further convinced Shimizu Suzune that there must be an ambush in the unknown area where Ooi Yutomi fell.

But now he's run away.

He's escaped, there's nothing we can do about it. Shimizu Suzune, after all, isn't a detective, and doesn't know which direction to pursue him from.

Shimizu Suzune sighed.

Before this, Shimizu Suzune had actually been hiding in a small house nearby. She was hiding there because she was worried that the Demon King Akane or Ooi Yuomi would come looking for her.

Unexpectedly, Ooi Yutomi actually managed to sneak into the Shinto Hall in an attempt to find her, but he failed.

Shimizu Suzune was naturally relieved by this, but the misfortune within her relief was that she never expected that this guy would intensify the massacre because he couldn't find the divine messenger girl.

Faced with this massacre, Shimizu Suzune considered stopping it, but she dared not act rashly, fearing that she would get involved and end up not only unable to help but also giving the enemy an extra head, which would be bad.

Chapter 189 World Will

That said, it was precisely because of Shimizu Suzune's cautious nature that she adopted a "pick the peaches" strategy—waiting until humans had bombarded the demons with artillery fire before striking and subduing them in one fell swoop.

To be honest, not only those military personnel, but even the divine messenger girl Shimizu Suzune herself never imagined that human firearms could actually harm spirits.

Generally speaking, if it is an ordinary, intangible ghost, then firearms will have little effect.

However, although Ooi Yuomi absorbed demonic power and became a demon spirit, he did not abandon his physical body, which has now become a burden that restricts demonic power.

Therefore, Shimizu Suzune couldn't understand why Ooi Yuomi still wanted to retain his physical body instead of becoming a more powerful ghost.

At this moment, a naive thought popped into Shimizu Suzune's mind: Did he want to "carry on the family line"?

When Shimizu Suzune first thought that Ooi Yutomi would care about such a question, she thought he was just ridiculous. But she couldn't think about this question too much, because it was terrifying to think about.

For example, if humans possess extraordinary powers, such as ghostly powers, will their genes mutate, potentially allowing their offspring to master ghostly powers?

This problem is too terrifying for Shimizu Suzune to think about too much right now, but she now has a new goal, which is to stop Ooi Yutomi from doing this.

He absolutely cannot have any offspring!

However, those are things to be done in the future. The problem facing Shimizu Suzune now is whether or not to reorganize the Shinto Hall and the team of Shinto servants.

Just then, Shimizu Rin's phone rang. She took out her phone and saw that it was Shingo Kishimoto, the head of the Shinto Agency, calling.

"Hello, this is Shimizu." After clicking the answer button, Shimizu Rinne greeted him.

The other person then said, "Shimizu, wasn't I supposed to go to inspect the shrine with Ishikawa Risa this morning? But now I've gotten separated from her. What should I do?"

"Ah, how did we get separated?" Shimizu Suzune immediately realized that this matter was not simple.

Shingo Kishimoto continued on the phone, "She said there were fake people nearby and a battle might break out. To avoid me getting hurt in the battle, she said we should split up."

Shimizu Suzune frowned and continued, "Did she tell you where you two would meet up?"

After thinking for a moment, the other person replied, "No... Oh, yes, she told me to go back to the Shinto Hall first, and we should meet there."

Upon hearing this, Shimizu Rinne turned her head and glanced in the direction of the Shinto Hall, saying, "She's not here. At least not now."

The other party remained silent.

Shimizu Suzune thought for a moment and asked, "Kishimoto-san, are you still at the Ara Shrine?"
