Chapter 198: Lord of the Hundred Demons

In Japan, religious belief is not something unique or out of the ordinary.

Christianity, Buddhism, and Shintoism all have a wide range of audiences and believers. Even small churches that make up doctrines at random and try to make money are able to thrive. This shows the popularity of religion in Japan.

However, it is a bit too much to expect some bad boys to believe in religion.

So when Toosaka Tora shook his head in confusion, Uesugi Kiyoshi was not surprised.

It is an indisputable fact that the stairs to gods and the statues of gods in the mirage require faith.

But he is not cut out to be a charlatan. He is quite good at killing people, but he is not good at tricking people into believing in religion or worshipping a god.

He had thought of some solutions before.

For example, as Li Fuyao mentioned, we can use the power of the Dongwen Society to promote faith and shape the image of gods, but it is always better to be prepared.

He has not tasted the sweetness of becoming a god yet, but having seen Li Fuyao's true body before, he somehow feels that the path to "becoming a god" is probably a threshold he must pass in the future.

After all, human power is limited.

Uesugi Kiyoshi glanced at several of Tosaka Tiger's followers who were hiding far away, and those bad guys immediately slipped back into the activity building.

His expression became friendly, and he helped Toosaka Tora up, covering half of his body with an umbrella to protect him from the rain.

"Tousaka, I think there is one thing you must understand. There is no such thing as pie falling from the sky in this world."

"The Tousaka Group. I vaguely remember seeing the name of this group on the document Maki handed me. They started out in the sex industry and also did loan sharking. After accumulating capital, they also got into the business of precious metals and minerals. Your father is a smart man."

"But your uncle seems to be a pure Yakuza. If this foundation is handed over to him, it will be ruined in an instant."

"I'm not bragging, but in the eyes of the Tohsaka Group, they are really insignificant. It would only take a word to kill someone like your uncle."

"But why should I help you?"

"As for what happened between us before, I can let it go. You didn't do anything excessive to Xingzi, and you were sensible later on. I won't be so petty."

"But if you want me to help you now, you have to give me a reasonable reason."

"Don't even mention the words 'serve me for the rest of my life'. If I raise my arm now, there will be many people who will shout and pledge their loyalty to me. I don't care what they say."

"I want to -- act!"

At first, Toosaka Tora was just a bad guy with a hot temper and impulsive personality.

However, misfortune and disaster are the best catalysts for human growth. When his family goes through major changes, he has to be careful in everything, which has made his character firmer and more calm.

In fact, he had thought about many reactions of Uesugi Kiyoshi, such as beating him up to vent his anger, just walking away, or just ignoring him.

He has prepared himself mentally. Now the situation is stronger than him, and he will not lose sight of his position.

But from what I hear, it seems like there might be hope?

He was not a fool without brains. He could understand the hidden meaning of Uesugi Kiyoshi. He was required to do something as an equal exchange.

Toosaka Tora's expression immediately became more respectful. He hunched his tall body slightly and whispered, "Uesugi-san, if you have anything to say, please tell me. I will definitely do it for you."

Uesugi Qing pondered for a long time before slowly speaking.

He didn't say anything to Toosaka Tora immediately, but took out his cell phone and dialed a number.

"Hello, Maki, it's me."

"Oh it's Kamishi, Maki is in a meeting?"

"Forget it, it's not a big deal. Go check which hospital the former leader of the Tousaka Group is currently in. Transfer him to a hospital under the name of the Touwen Society and assign someone to protect him. Don't let him die."

"that is it."

After a few brief words, Uesugi Kiyoshi hung up the phone.

Then he met Toosaka Tora's grateful eyes and said softly, "I don't like people working for nothing. This is my sincerity."

"I don't like beating around the bush. I want to popularize a religious sect in Tokyo, and I want to leave this matter to you."

"Of course, I didn't ask you to do much, and it's not all your responsibility."

"Your target is [student]."

"I don't care what method you use. Apart from some funds, I won't give you any assistance. Everything depends on you."

“Elementary school, junior high school, high school, and even college.”

"The more the better, the faster the better, spread the faith and praise the name of our Lord."

"You can use any method you want as long as it doesn't harm others. If something goes wrong, I'll take the responsibility for it. I can handle the police or the mafia. You don't have to worry about anything."

Uesugi Kiyoshi stuffed the umbrella into Toosaka Tora's hand, stretched himself, and his eyes became somewhat unfathomable.

"You found me today. It's your fate. I will have someone protect your father. Since I have seen this, the Dongwen Club's subordinate groups will not have their leaders die suddenly and we won't do nothing about it."

"But, if you want to take back the Tohsaka group."

"Go do what I said, and everything will fall into place."

"You might get more."

"Of course, you can refuse. Even if you refuse, I will guarantee your father's safety. However, I will no longer be involved in your affairs, and I will not come to school often in the future. I can only wish you good luck."

Uesugi Kiyoshi has already figured out the effect of the power of faith.

Not only can it replace mirage as a consumption for using supernatural powers, it can also serve as an efficient "fuel" to drive the divine body of the Inugami.

This seems to be no different from the effect of mirage, except that the efficiency as energy is different.

However, the stairway to the gods told Uesugi Kiyoshi that the so-called power of faith has a more important function.

It can create "extraordinary".

In ancient times, when humans were ignorant, gods were revered as creators.

Correspondingly, they also have the miraculous ability to "create".

But now the "faith" that Uesugi Kiyoshi possesses is very little, and has not yet reached a usable level, so he is unable to explore more secrets.

This was also the original intention of his sudden idea.

The most popular audiences of Japanese religions are the elderly, children, and housewives.

Toosaka Torana's social skills allow him to have a certain influence among the "students". To give the simplest example, he used to collect protection fees. So if the offering of "money" is changed to offering of "faith", then I am afraid that many weak people who are troubled by school violence and seeking shelter will be happy to do so.

After all, most of those who seek protection from bad people are not rich.

Toosaka Torara is quite famous as a bad boy. His family is a subordinate group of the Touwenkai, so he knows his background well. Uesugi Kiyoshi also asked Kudo Yuichi to investigate him. Although he is a bit arrogant and unreasonable, he has never done anything bad. He is a "traditional" bad boy who follows the rules. If nothing unexpected happens, he will join his family's group after graduating from high school, become a member of the Yakuza, and then carry on the family business.

But after something unexpected happens at home, he will have one more reason to fight for it.

To be honest, if his uncle hadn't been playing tricks and his father's life and death were not in danger, Uesugi Kiyoshi might not have chosen Torasaka Tora.

In his opinion, the obsession of hatred is one of the strongest motivations for people to become stronger.

As expected, Toosaka Tora nodded heavily without even thinking.

"Yes, I understand."

"Please rest assured. I once had a friend who was brainwashed by a small religion. I led people to rescue him. I also understand the tricks used to deceive people."

"Oh sorry, I lost my temper. I didn't mean your religion."

Toosaka Tora looked up at Uesugi Kiyoshi with some trepidation. His words just now seemed to be a satire on Uesugi Kiyoshi's attempt to mislead the people. In his memory, if any subordinate dared to talk to his father like that, he would probably be beaten up.

Uesugi Kiyoshi did not react excessively, but just smiled mysteriously.

Seeing that he didn't seem to take his gaffe to heart, Tosaka Tora breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't dare to say more and asked directly: "Lord Uesugi, then..."

"What is the name of our sect? Which god do we believe in? What is the main purpose of our doctrine? Please tell me."

Uesugi Kiyoshi did not make this decision on a whim.

He had been thinking about this matter for several days and was prepared for these questions.

He summoned up a bit of the mirage that could bewitch people's minds, and with a smile on his lips, the boy's voice seemed ethereal in the rain, as if it came from outer space.

"Focus and listen to what I say."

"He is the Lord of Tokyo."

"He is the uncrowned king who wields the sword and controls life and death."

“He is the protective wing of the weak and those who seek good.”

“He is the death knell for demons and evildoers.”

"."

“He exists forever in the mirror flowers and water moons, and is the eternity above the mirage.”

"He is the one who brings about the night parade of a hundred demons and slays all the evil spirits."

"The Saint of Swords, the Lord of All Demons!"

To those who are not familiar with the situation, this passage may seem a bit immature and incomprehensible, but after reading a lot of information from the Collectibles Association, Uesugi Kiyoshi understands that this is not just a casual remark.

This was the prayer he had thought of after racking his brains.

These prayers are somewhat crude compared to Buddhist or Christian ones, but the basic principles are similar.

This is a lighthouse that guides the power of faith of believers to reach the Sea of ​​God's Stars, and it is also a lasting navigation mark.

These words actually describe Uesugi Kiyoshi himself.

He was quite cautious in his actions, so he added a restriction in the first sentence - he kept the area scope fixed at "Tokyo".

Therefore, when believers recite this prayer, it will not attract the attention of the gods outside of Tokyo, and the influence of "outsiders" on "locals" is still limited.

"Wielding swords and life and death" naturally refers to his swordsmanship and the life-and-death battles he experienced.

Protecting the weak and punishing the wicked was a preliminary doctrine he established - not because he had an excessive sense of justice, but because this doctrine was more popular in Japan where the common people were generally oppressed.

It also implies his deeds of slaying demons.

The location represented by "eternally existing in the mirror flowers and water moons, it is the eternity above the mirage" refers to the dream mirror world, in the mirage tower. This is the "foundation" of Uesugi Kiyoshi. If the plan goes well in the future, this place is very likely to expand into his "kingdom of God".

As for the last sentence, it refers to the power of the Hundred Demons Scroll, his command over hundreds of demons, and the prospect of fighting against ghosts and gods.

He couldn't think of any high-sounding name for a god, so he used his original dream of learning swordsmanship - to become a sword saint, plus the identity of the owner of the Hundred Demons Scroll.

so.
