Tokyo: I am the Lord of All Demons!

Then they discovered that above the first stall at the entrance of the restroom, a woman's body was slowly rising.

Although the origin of this woman's body is unknown, judging from the ghostly screams just now, the hanging woman's body is probably a female ghost.

So soon, the women's restroom in the train station was emptied, leaving only Fujita Mino and Hanako in a stalemate.

Hanako, who was hanging up, did not glare fiercely at Fujita Mino below her. Instead, she looked at her with interest, testing her strength.

After a simple test, Ms. Hanako learned that Fujita Mino's strength came almost entirely from the lightsaber in her hand.

In other words, as long as Hanako can knock the lightsaber out of her hand, she has already won.

However, destroying the lightsaber is not so easy, so Hanako decides to adopt a strategy of waiting for Fujita Mino to attack first and then find her weakness.

However, she miscalculated. While she was testing Fujita Mino, Fujita Mino was also testing her.

Fujita Mino discovered that Hanako's current strength was on a completely different level from before; the difference was like the difference between scoring 20 points and 100 points on an exam.

"Is this the Demon King..." Fujita Mino murmured to herself, still maintaining her standoff with Hanako-san, and also not intending to launch the first attack.

Fujita Mino's sword actually has a weakness: it is much weaker in ranged attacks than in melee combat. So theoretically, it is easier to win by relying on melee combat.

Seeing that Fujita Mino wasn't attacking, Hanako turned around and floated towards the door of the women's restroom.

"Stop!" Fujita Mino reacted quickly, shouting as she prepared to swing her sword.

Chapter 130 The fight begins, the fight begins

However, an embarrassing scene unfolded: Fujita Mino was using melee combat, so she couldn't affect Hanako's drifting away.

At this moment, Hanako stopped and turned around after hearing Fujita Mino's shout.

Hanako challenged, "I've stopped, so what?"

Fujita Mino never expected that her bluff would actually make the other person stop, nor did she expect that the other person would actually communicate with her. For a moment, she didn't know what to say.

After thinking for a moment, he pointed the Kusanagi Sword at Hanako and said, "Come down and let's settle this once and for all."

Unexpectedly, Hanako shook her head and said contemptuously, "You are too weak. Why don't you call on your divine messengers? There is strength in numbers, and that's the only way to destroy me."

Hanako was so arrogant that Fujita Mino was speechless for a moment; she had never seen such a request before.

Fujita Mino's gaze sharpened slightly: "Do you think they're afraid of you? That's why you're so sure they won't dare to fight?"

"I never said that!" Hanako said with a smile. At this moment, her body slowly descended from mid-air, but her feet did not completely touch the ground; she was still floating.

During this process, Fujita Mino couldn't help but take a few steps back to keep a safe distance from Hanako.

Seeing the divine messenger in front of her retreat, Hanako became even more confident: "Come on, come and cut me down! Why are you retreating?"

Fujita Mino ignored Hanako's provocation, but seeing Hanako's cooperation, she had a question: "Actually, I've always had a question."

"...What's the problem?" Hanako hadn't expected the other person to ask her a question in return, and even seem somewhat cooperative.

Fujita Mino shook her head, looked up at the ceiling, and said, "They all say you are the Demon King, but I don't think so."

"Oh? What do you mean?" Hanako's expression changed slightly. At this moment, she floated up again and hovered above the toilet, circling around Fujita Mino.

As she circled, Hanako also released a terrifying atmosphere outside the toilet to prevent unsuspecting people from entering and interfering with her confrontation with the divine messenger.

Following Hanako's spinning trajectory, Fujita Mino moved her body and pointed out the problem: "I think there must be a stronger person behind you."

Upon hearing this, Hanako, who was floating on the top of the toilet, almost had her Dao heart collapse and her body began to fall. Fortunately, she managed to regain her demonic Dao heart in time, preventing her from falling to the ground.

Seeing Hanako's reaction, Fujita Mino became even more certain that her guess was correct.

Seeing Hanako remain silent, Fujita Mino raised her hand, pointed at her face, and said, "There are many ghosts in the world, but I don't have even a single ghost loyal to you, which is seriously inconsistent with your status as the Ghost King."

Hanako didn't say anything about Fujita Mino's idea, but continued to circle around her to see what nonsense she could spout.

This is psychological warfare. Fujita Mino continued to reason: "You may not know, but in our Shinto Hall's files, Miss Hanako, you are not the only ghost defined as the 'King of Demons'."

"Oh? I really didn't know." Hanako couldn't help but reply, but she covered her mouth as soon as she said it.

This action was naturally noticed by Fujita Mino, which further confirmed that Hanako was not the only "Demon King".

There must be a much larger force behind her, such as the underworld or some other ghostly organization.

Yes, Fujita Mino believes that Hanako and the other spirits are organized. All the spirits appear to be disorderly, but in fact they are acting in an orderly manner, taking turns to cause trouble in the human world.

If these ghosts and spirits were truly as rumored—lacking intelligence and acting arbitrarily—the human world would have long since become a living hell.

In Hanako's view, Fujita Mino's idea was not without reason, but rather quite plausible.

Behind Hanako and the other ghosts, isn't it Makoto Araki, whom they revere as their supreme deity and the lord of all ghosts?

Unfortunately, Hanako's IQ wasn't very high, and she had long been eager to speak out against Fujita Mino's suspicions.

She said arrogantly, "So what if it is? Of course, my Kami-sama is silently supporting me behind the scenes."

In Hanako's view, her god-like deity was not a secret, but rather something to be proud of that should be made public.

A look of surprise crossed Fujita Mino's face as she asked suspiciously, "Ghosts also have Kami-sama?"

Hanako said disdainfully, "The word 'ghost' is something you humans created, just as you humans are seen as lambs being raised in a pen in our eyes."

Ignoring these provocative words, Fujita Mino pressed for an answer: "Where is your leader?"

Hanako gritted her teeth: "I can't ignore you using the insulting word 'leader' on my Kami-sama. Now I'm going to ask you, where are your 'accomplices'? Who ordered you to do this?"

Unlike Hanako, Fujita Mino is not easily provoked, so she once again ignored Hanako's provocation.

At this moment, Hanako seemed to be deep in thought, and quickly came up with the answer. She said, "I know, the person who instructed you lives in the Ara Shrine, right?"

These words were like a sharp knife piercing Fujita Mino's heart, causing her delicate body to tremble.

The existence of Ara Shrines is already an open secret. The main Ara Shrine is currently under construction, and there are five other affiliated Ara Shrines.

If Hanako were to take the risk of attacking the Ara Shrine, then regardless of the outcome, it would be a blow to the shrine's expansion.

However, Fujita Mino quickly adjusted her mindset and continued her psychological attack on Hanako: "Let me make this clear, my Kami-sama is omnipotent. If you dare to attack the Ara Shrine, you've got a death wish."

Hanako squinted and remained silent.

Fujita Mino continued to provoke: "I think you should ask your mastermind to come out, kneel down and surrender, and promise not to disturb the world anymore. Maybe then you can be spared."

This move infuriated Hanako-san, who jumped up and exclaimed, "I think you've had enough of living!"

However, the two women argued but never actually fought, a scene so peaceful it was worthy of being recorded in the annals of battles between gods and demons.

The problem was that during their argument, Fujita Mino and Hanako repeatedly mentioned the "boss" on the other side, which caused the "boss" to sneeze.

"Ah!"

Makoto Araki, who was leisurely strolling through the world, was currently savoring high-end coffee beans imported from Brazil. However, the coffee tasted mediocre, and a sudden sneeze made him sneeze as well, making his already mediocre coffee experience even worse.

Araki Makoto quickly realized why he had sneezed. He put down his coffee cup and muttered, "Which girl is thinking about me this time?"

He summoned the control panel and quickly discovered that Fujita Mino and Hanako were confronting each other in the restroom, and a major battle was about to break out.

"Oh ho!" Araki Makoto immediately perked up. He loved watching women fight and wanted to buy a bag of sunflower seeds to crack open right away.

However, what puzzled Makoto Araki was that despite the verbal abuse and even gesticulation from Fujita Mino and Hanako, they did not draw their swords to attack each other.

"What are they talking about?" Makoto Araki was a little curious, so he wanted to zoom in, but he immediately realized that zooming in would cause a problem.

Fujita Mino and Hanako-san appeared not to have made a move, but their divine and demonic powers were already intertwined, and the air in the toilet was being stirred up like seawater.

Because the power in the toilet was so chaotic, even when the camera zoomed in, Makoto Araki still couldn't hear their conversation.

"How about I go there myself?" Araki Makoto seemed to be thinking. If he were to go to the scene in person, he could consider showing his figure to only one side while the other side remained invisible.

But something seems off. Whom should I help?

Whether he helps Fujita Mino or Hanako, Makoto Araki feels pressured—since he, as a god, has already shown himself, why not lend a hand?

Even without taking action, it would still cause a shift in the balance of power. If Fujita Mino or Hanako were encouraged, they could easily crush their opponents, which is clearly not what Araki Makoto, who loves to watch the drama unfold, wants to see.

He just wants them to fight, but given the current situation, both women are too gentle and have their own concerns, so it's unlikely they'll actually fight.

It doesn't matter. Makoto Araki doesn't necessarily want to see these two women fight. When their conflict becomes irreconcilable, they will inevitably have another big battle sooner or later. We'll just wait and see.

Asakusa Tram Station.

In the women's restroom.

Fujita Mino and Hanako were still engaged in a heated verbal battle, both cursing each other's "God."

Of course, the verbal battle was started by Fujita Mino: "I'm telling you, does your so-called god even have a shrine? Does anyone worship him? How dare he call himself a god?"

Hanako retorted without backing down: "Who do you think you are? Gods who need shrines and human offerings are false gods, aren't they? True gods possess innate divine power!"

Fujita Mino retorted, "Whether someone is a false god or not is never up to you ghosts to decide. You must know that in this world, humans are the true masters!"

Hanako retorted angrily, "Every curse you utter now will be relayed to my Kami-sama, and you'll be in big trouble!"

Fujita Mino scoffed, "No need for that later. Just bring out your false god now, and let's have a proper fight!"

"Fine, let's fight! Who's afraid of you?"

Come on, come on!

You go first!

"..."

Well, the reason why this human and ghost are so abstract is, of course, because they each have their own little thoughts.

Fujita Mino and Hanako both wanted to extract more information from each other, which is why they argued.

When it comes to taking action, they are equally in sync.

When Fujita Mino arrived, she discovered that Hanako-san's demonic power was incredibly strong, an unprecedented level, making her a tough nut to crack.

In the Shinto Hall, Hanako defeated three divine messengers all by herself, demonstrating her formidable strength.

If a war were to break out, Fujita Mino wasn't confident of defeating Hanako, so she decided to avoid fighting if possible. After all, she had already extracted a lot of information from Hanako, so her trip wasn't a complete waste.

Hanako felt the same way. She discovered that Fujita Mino's Ama-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi was very sharp, and estimated that if she were to be cut by it, she would definitely be injured, which would affect her progress in becoming the Demon King.

As for whether she can gain anything from the verbal battle, Hanako doesn't care. Her only goal is to buy as much time as possible while reaping human fear.

And so, the man and the ghost engaged in a verbal battle for almost half an hour, yet neither of them made a move against the other.

When both sides were tired of arguing, Fujita Mino and Hanako-san simultaneously considered how to retreat.

After deciding to retreat, Ms. Hanako said, "Do you dare to come or not? If you don't come, I'm leaving."
