Tokyo: I am the Lord of All Demons!

[Consumption - Fear: 50000]

[Remaining - Fear: 560000]

【Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, Part Four: The Animal Realm*1】

[Note: Jizo 4 - Animal Path has been placed in the abandoned shrine; 5 will be refreshed at this time tomorrow, remember to come and buy it on time!]

There are only two left to go, it's just a matter of time. Makoto Araki has a lot of "fear" now, does he ever get bored scaring people?

The first thing to add to your cart should be the various items in the Artifacts section of the Item Mall, but after redeeming the Animal Path, no new artifacts were refreshed; the area was blank, with only a line of small text displayed in the center of the screen.

[Coming soon]

Good grief, so rich but have nowhere to spend it?

You call yourself a system? Do you really think you're a game? Why are you restricting players' rapid development?

However, one thing is one thing, and Makoto Araki has only one goal right now: to become a god on time. Nothing else matters.

Treat any excess "fear" as a numerical value. Whenever you want to exchange for more magical artifacts or advanced urban legends or ghost king urban legends, do so as you please!

At that very moment—

"I hate it so much!"

Hanako's voice appeared again.

Araki Makoto turned his head and saw that Hanako was not outside, but had entered the realm of the virtual shrine. She was floating alone on Araki Makoto's right.

Araki Makoto tilted his head back slightly and asked in confusion, "Why are you back? Shouldn't you be in the bathroom... scaring people?"

Upon hearing this, Hanako said dejectedly, "The performance is terrible. Not many people go to the bathroom at night. And those who are scared are all timid. They all react the same way. It's really boring."

Araki Seiichi was speechless for a moment.

He sighed and said, "You get bored of scaring people? What kind of novel tricks do you want to use to scare them?"

Upon hearing this, Hanako's face turned sinister. She raised her hands and said in a low voice, "They're too cowardly. I'm trying to scare you."

"..." Araki Makoto stared at Hanako's face for a few seconds before he could no longer hold back.

He shook his head and said, "Even if you say that, I'm not afraid of female ghosts. How could any man be afraid of female ghosts?"

Hanako: "..."

This time it was Hanako's turn to be stunned.

She never imagined that her supreme deity would say such a thing! What does it mean that a man isn't afraid of female ghosts?

As long as you're bold.

Sadako is on maternity leave, right?

Hanako was about to break down.

However, she then relaxed and looked at Makoto Araki with a bored expression and a pitiful look in her eyes.

Araki Makoto thought for a moment and said, "I do have a target who can guarantee you won't be bored, but she's very powerful, and you might get beaten up if you go to see her."

"Huh? Who is it?" Hanako stared innocently at Makoto Araki's face.

“She is a shrine maiden.” Araki Seiya stared at her face.

"Witches? Are there really any real witches in this world? I thought they were all just charlatans."

At this moment, Hanako was like a student who knew nothing, humbly asking her teacher, Makoto Araki, for guidance.

“Yes, and not just one. After tonight, many extraordinary powers may appear exponentially.” Makoto Araki said, looking up at the sky. The sky was white; there was no alternation of day and night in the realm of gods.

Upon hearing his words, Hanako's face turned grim, and she said, "Then we'll have to nip her in the bud."

"Huh? Aren't you the Demon King? Dealing with a few priestesses should be a piece of cake for you," Araki Makoto said casually.

"My current strength is not yet at the level of a Ghost King. The reason for this is, of course, that I haven't harvested enough fear."

Hanako said calmly, then added, "But I also want to lie down. I guess I'm just a useless ghost now."

Chapter 92 Dialogue with the Gods

Araki Makoto tilted his head back sharply, looking surprised, and said, "No, how can you lie flat? You're the Demon King, sister."

"Can't the Demon King just lie flat?" Hanako said nonchalantly, and instead began to perform a "lying flat" pose in the air.

Araki Makoto looked at him with disdain and said, "Of course not. Did I create you to be a lazy bum? I created you to harvest fear for me."

He shouted, "Get up now!"

Upon hearing this, Hanako stretched her lazy body and reluctantly "crawled" to her feet.

Hanako said, looking aggrieved, "What? There aren't many people I can scare at night anyway, so what's wrong with taking a break!"

Araki Makoto frowned and said, "Didn't I just tell you that you could go and intimidate a certain shrine maiden?"

"Tch, I don't have any expectations. I don't want to scare her to death if I just show up suddenly." Hanako was still as unmotivated as ever.

Araki Makoto urged, "Just hurry up and go! She's at Yomiyama Shrine."

"Alright, alright." Hanako was still reluctant, but suddenly she jolted and turned around to ask, "By the way, didn't humans set up a Shinto Hall? Should I go and destroy that organization?"

“That won’t do.” Araki Makoto shook his head and said, “The Shinto Hall is a safe zone; you can’t go in.”

"Safe zone? Why?" Hanako scratched her head, unable to understand.

Araki Makoto shook his head and said, "For no reason, just ask less and do more."

"Oh," Hanako pouted.

Then, it prepared to drift away.

Araki Makoto thought for a moment, then suddenly called out to her, "Also, next time, you can't just enter here without my permission."

"Huh? Why is that?" Hanako turned around again, looking puzzled.

The reason is actually quite simple: if anyone can freely enter Makoto Araki's divine realm, then the divine messengers led by Suzune Shimizu are very likely to encounter the ghosts led by Hanako here.

If they meet, it will prevent Makoto Araki from continuing to be the "savior of humanity" and the "savior of the spirits".

However, Makoto Araki was too lazy to explain to Hanako and simply said, "There's no reason why, just do as I say."

"Okay." Hanako nodded.

Hanako is still very well-behaved. Although she has a lot of problems, she does and follows the instructions that Makoto Araki asks her to do.

After leaving the realm of the gods, Hanako floated straight to the Yomiyama Shrine, intending to give a lesson to the shrine's messenger, Shimizu Suzune.

Hanako is the Demon King, and her movement speed is as fast as she wants. In no time, she floated into the interior of Yomiyama Shrine.

It was late at night, and most of the shrine staff had already gone to bed, with only a few still on duty.

Hanako started by visiting various shrines to see if any "gods" were hidden inside. However, she found that none of the shrines contained any gods; instead, they contained only a divine object called a "god-body," which usually symbolizes a god.

But that was just symbolic.

Hanako picked up one of the "divine pieces" and examined it closely, only to find that it was just an ordinary piece of wood with nothing special about it.

There are no gods in the world?

If there are no gods, where do the spells used by priestesses come from?

Hanako was somewhat puzzled, but continued to explore the interior of the shrine, hoping to bring back more of the shrine's secrets for the High God.

However, Hanako wandered around the Yomiyama Shrine several times but found no secrets or unusual humans; everyone there was just an ordinary person.

There were no magical artifacts here, which is enough to prove that this shrine is a very ordinary shrine, and Hanako did not find the legendary "shrine maiden".

That's true. Although Shimizu Suzune is a shrine maiden, there is no rule that she must stay at the shrine for a long time.

Hanako floated up into the sky, scratched her head, and looked puzzled. She muttered to herself, "Strange, where did the shrine maiden go?"

In fact, Shimizu Suzune did not return to Yomiyama Shrine, but went back to her home.

Araki Makoto didn't notice this, which is why Hanako missed her target.

Hanako, having missed her target, was even more frustrated.

Where to go now?

The realm of gods is definitely not a place one can enter casually.

The Supreme God has already spoken.

So, we must ask you, Your Majesty, where is that girl?

That's not a good idea.

Hanako is naturally a laid-back person, and now she has a perfect excuse to be lazy, so she won't report to the god in time!

Reported and corrected.

Then you have to go find the shrine maiden.

That's just asking for trouble!

So she had no choice but to slowly drift towards the abandoned shrine, intending to find a place to stay for a while.

at the same time.

Chiyoda Ward, Tokyo!

Shinto Hall.

Outside the hall.

In fact, Kikuko Yamamura was not far from Shinto Hall; she stayed several streets away from Shinto Hall, keeping an eye on it.

As expected, Kikuko Yamamura discovered a shocking secret: the Shinto Hall was actually consecrating a new religious artifact...

What does the mass production of ritual implements signify?

It represents the destruction of the ghost realm!

In particular, when she saw Fujita Mino, Morita Jun, and the others walking back to the Shinto Hall in high spirits, Yamamura Kikuko really wanted to tell her god about it.

She looked up at the night sky, trying to establish contact with the supreme god.

After a while, Makoto Araki noticed that Kikuko Yamamura, whom he hadn't paid much attention to, was looking in their direction, so he asked, "Is there something you need, Kikuko?"
