Tokyo.
Black clouds formed by divine power condensed in the sky, spewing forth countless demons, truly a myriad of them. More demons surged from beneath the earth and from the sea.
At this moment, the entire Tokyo was like a demonic hell. Demonic roars echoed everywhere, blood flowed incessantly, and death was constant.
Those who had left were right to do so, for staying here meant certain death.
The Tokyo Spirit Management Association members defended the Spirit Management Association building, unleashing a continuous barrage of heavy firepower. Fire streams and shells repeatedly bombarded the endlessly charging demons.
Zhao Tongzhi's hands moved swiftly, her surging spiritual power cleaving a Rank 2 demon in half. Her young face was ashen. She hadn't expected this. The three individuals had been brought here to deal with the three special-grade demons lurking beneath the sea, while she was meant to slay a god.
But unexpectedly, the god appeared, and the three special-grade demons did not. The entire Tokyo was then swallowed by countless demons.
"Team Leader, forget about this so-called god for now. Let's deal with these demons first."
"Yes, Team Leader. With these demons tying us down, we can't assist you in slaying the god."
Zhao Tongzhi tilted her head to look at Aresva, who stood in the sky. Gritting her teeth fiercely, she finally turned and joined the battle against the demons.
Aresva, watching the scene below from the sky, let out a disdainful chuckle. However, he paid no mind to the Spirit Management Association members on the ground.
Instead, he turned his gaze towards a certain spot.
His expression was impassive as he silently calculated. Then, he took a step forward, bent his body slightly, and punched downwards. Divine power accompanied his fist, striking directly at the ground.
RUMBLE!!!
The earth trembled, the waves rose higher, and the entire Tokyo shook.
Aresva roared loudly, "Ricardo! Come out!"
Ricardo, who thought Aresva was unaware of his awakening, grinned. He had initially planned to watch them fight before making his appearance, but he hadn't expected to be discovered.
But, so be it. Let them fight.
Ricardo raised his hands above his head, tearing open the dark space. He straightened his body and shot out, breaking through the ground with a boom. He drew a rainbow arc in the air and hovered in the sky, facing Aresva.
"Aresva, thank you for coming to greet me."
After thanking him with a smile, Ricardo continued, "Are you here to kill me?"
Aresva looked at Ricardo and smiled slightly. "We've been fighting for tens of thousands of years, no need for pleasantries. Let's just get started."
Ricardo narrowed his eyes. "This is so annoying. I've just awakened, and I have to face life-and-death combat. Why don't you let me go? Or, we can kill that bitch Pridena together, or perhaps Nefeta, that whore."
"In short, you want divinity. I'll help you get two, won't that be enough?"
Aresva smiled at Ricardo, a golden spear appearing in his hand. "Stop stalling. I've seen these little tricks for tens of thousands of years, I'm getting a bit tired of them."
"Pah, boring."
Ricardo, seeing his stalling tactic exposed, was displeased. At the same time, a slender sword with a handguard appeared in his hand, resembling a "sewing needle" from a game.
Ricardo attacked first, his sword edge slashing directly at Aresva. Mid-swing, he changed his attack to a thrust, aiming for Aresva's chest.
After parrying Ricardo's sword with his spear, Aresva unleashed his divine power, engulfing Ricardo.
Ricardo grinned and also unleashed his divine power, clashing with Aresva's. Two massive vortexes of divine power formed in the sky, stirring the black clouds and pushing them apart. Looking up from the ground, it was as if the sky had been split in two.
In the sky, gods were fighting, their immense divine powers raging wildly.
On the ground, humans and demons were also fighting, spiritual and mental energy sweeping through the streets, clearing out demons.
In the sea, divine envoys were also fighting. Aresva's two divine envoys were battling Ricardo's three divine envoy monsters, causing huge waves to erupt on the sea's surface.
He Li sat on top of a tall building, staring blankly at the apocalyptic scene. Shaken, he slowly raised his hand, put a freshly peeled sausage into his mouth, and began to chew slowly.
"So strong, so intense. Aresva, don't just block with divine power, use your ultimate moves!"
"Ricardo is also an idiot. You know your divine power is inferior to Aresva's, so be more agile, maneuver more. Close-quarters combat against a long weapon, do you think you can gain an advantage? Do you know about micro-management?"
"Oh dear, you two aren't doing well. Seriously, what can I say? You're lower gods, it's an operational issue."
Xiao Yue, who was supporting He Li's psychic barrier beside him, gave He Li a fierce glare. Watch the show if you want, but you're really talking too much.
"They've started fighting. We haven't followed the plan Pridena agreed to. What are you going to do?" Xiao Yue asked.
Xiao Yue had no idea what He Li was thinking.
In fact, ever since Bai Fei and the Zhang father and son were calculated and killed by him, He Li hadn't discussed matters with him. He was resentful of Xiao Yue, and Xiao Yue knew this. He also accepted this outcome.
He understood that his actions had consequences.
Therefore, he was asking He Li about his next move, so he could refine He Li's plan or handle some of the dirty, tedious work that He Li was unwilling to do.
He Li finished his sausage and drank a bottle of yogurt. He frowned, saying unhappily, "The yogurt in Japan can't be licked for the cream layer. It's so annoying. I only drink yogurt to lick the cream layer. Otherwise, why not just drink soda?"
As if in a fit of pique, he threw the yogurt bottle downstairs.
He Li stood up, patted the dust off his pants, glanced at the battle in the sky, and turned back to Xiao Yue, saying, "Of course, we're going to aggro them."
He Li smiled, a sinister smile.
"We'll lure the demons to Tokyo Port. Don't forget, there are three master hunters from the Hunter teams at Tokyo Port. They need to share the pressure from the city center."
Xiao Yue gave a wry smile. When it came to scheming, He Li was no match for him, but when it came to wicked plans, he was no better than He Li. This guy was too wicked.
After speaking, He Li let out a howl and jumped off the building.
Xiao Yue frowned. This was the 50th floor.
Immediately after,
A shrill scream echoed from downstairs:
"Brother Xiao, save me!"
Xiao Yue sighed helplessly. "Crazy, incurable."
Tokyo Port.
Shang Jun stood on the observation tower, dual-wielding his swords, fighting the demons swooping down from the sky. At the port, in front of Susan and Jin Rong, a sea of corpses had already formed.
Countless demons were still charging, and not only that, many demons were crawling out of the sea port, attacking their rear.
"Demons are no longer appearing from the sky or the ground, why are there still so many!" Jin Rong shouted to Susan while using lightning to kill demons with both hands.
"Don't worry about it! Protect the [God-Slaying Nuclear Bomb]!" Susan yelled.
