Chapter 2301 Im's Modification Plan for the Demons of the Underworld!

March 15, 1508 (Haiyuan Calendar)

With the collapse of the Hero Association, this day became a turning point for the world.

In the days that followed, people found life to become very peaceful.

There are fewer weirdos, more heroes, and the police are more reliable.

Even if they occasionally encounter danger, the Justice Series jewelry and Kabane bio-underwear they wear can always save their lives.

The presence of their beloved white dog at home gives them peace of mind when they go out.

The news reports daily on the progress of Morgan Group's subway project.

Moreover, its efficiency is surprisingly high.

Nobody knows how they managed to dig all the tunnels connecting K City and the surrounding cities in just a few days.

The only thing that caused a little public outcry was Neo Heroes' revelation that the nutrient solution in the Kabane bio-underwear was actually colorless human blood!
However, apart from a few people who expressed discomfort, the majority of people reacted differently.
So?

Are we really going to give up something that can save our lives at any time and is lightweight and breathable just because of this?

Moreover, Morgan Stanley explained that it was artificial blood.

They're willing to believe it, whether it's true or false.
After all, in such a living environment, safety is the primary need, and few people have moral fastidiousness.

however.

What appears to be merely the calm before the storm is actually a situation where all parties need such time.
at the same time.

Im has returned to Noah's Ark in the Shikon Jewel world, accompanied by Lala, Sasdin, and others.

"You want to go back to Starfish?"

In the living room, Im held a black stone in his hand and looked at Lala, who had just placed a white stone on the board.

"Hmm, there doesn't seem to be much to see in this Shikon World, except for some difficult-to-get-along-with yokai."

“But you said that starfish can now give birth to monsters too~” After saying that, Lala urged, “Hurry up and get down, Lord Im!”

The two are currently playing a game called Reversi, also known as Othello.

The rule is roughly that if your piece occupies two points on a straight line, including the diagonal lines, then the opponent's piece in the middle can be flipped.

When the board is full and no more pieces can be placed, the number of pieces each player has is counted, and the player with the most pieces wins.

It's not as difficult as Go, but it's more fun, according to Im.

"Okay, then you can go back."

As he spoke, Im placed a black piece, trapping three white pieces on a diagonal line.

They then automatically flipped to become their own black pieces.

"Could you come shopping with me?" Lala looked at Im expectantly.

"No, Mu wants to stay here."

Im gently refused, wanting the stars to cover the world as soon as possible.

Although the Demon Spirit Star can also generate demonic energy and give birth to demons, the efficiency is still too low.

Moreover, it only applies to demons, but cannot grant starfish people better spiritual talents, nor can it allow monks to ascend to heaven and become Buddhas, thus obtaining the status of a Buddha.

These are things that only those with astrological destiny can do.

"All right."

Although Im didn't give a reason, Lala didn't press the matter too much.

"Then before I leave, shall I build a robot that can play chess with you?"

She could tell that Im liked the game, but no one here dared to play with him.

"Need not."

Im shook his head and refused: "Just play a few games with me every time you come back."

Lala smiled sweetly and made a promise: "Okay, I'll try my best to come back once a month from now on~"

"You can enjoy your trip without worry."

Im placed his last piece, winning by three pieces.

But genuine joy and relaxation cannot be faked.

This girl is not only exceptionally intelligent, but she also completely disregards his status.

"It's alright, this is the first time I've ever lost to someone in chess. You're amazing!"

Lala looked at Im with eyes full of surprise and admiration.

"After I finish exploring the starfish, I'll play a few rounds of games with you every day. I'll beat you someday!"

"Hehe, you still have a long way to go~"

In this cheerful atmosphere, Im smiled and looked more gentle than usual.

Lala has this quality that makes people happy.

In the blink of an eye.

After having lunch with Im, Lala led Sasdin and the others back to Mary Geoise through a small stargate.

She planned to visit the Academy of Sciences first.

Then visit some of the more famous islands like Wajima, Dressrosa, Tottoland, and Elbaf.

Im continued his studies, practice, and reading of government reports as usual, while keeping abreast of the latest developments in the world government.

At the same time, consider the things you've been hesitating about lately.

The question is whether or not to open a new stargate.
He now has the authority to open a small stargate.

And upgrade permissions for two medium-sized stargates and one large stargate.

I feel like I should wait a little longer.

Currently, the World Government needs to manage the Black Grass World, the Shikon Jewel World, and the Hyakki Yagyō World, while also helping the Claymore World, the Beast God World, and the Ninja World develop.

Only the Food Wars world and the National Religion world can save some trouble.

Besides.

Kizaru has led his fleet into the border of the Galactic Empire's star system.

A conflict between the two sides is imminent.

And there is the world of heroes that is conquering in a way that is gentler than ever before.

Not to mention that there are also many large-scale events in Haixing this year.

Would we be able to handle opening another stargate at this point?

At last.

The matter of the Demon Underworld also concerned Im greatly; he couldn't just leave it there unattended.

But I couldn't figure out how to handle it.

Only recently has he had some ideas, namely considering drawing inspiration from the underworld.

Then create another clone to guard the underworld.

Ideally, he should be able to devour the will of the underworld and merge with it.

Then, a new batch of top-ranking demons will be created to assist the demons at each level.

correct.

The abilities and possessions of the former Im can also be given to this new clone.

Anyway, I've already decided to specialize in swordsmanship, domineering, space, and time.

It can be seen as a kind of separation from the past.

Thinking about it.

Im found it increasingly feasible; the previous clones had worked very well, managing the underworld in an orderly manner.

of course.

Many figures, including Yama, Hagoromo Otsutsuki, and Abe no Seimei, contributed to this.

"However, the terms 'underworld' and 'the netherworld' are somewhat difficult to distinguish."

Im, sitting in his study, murmured to himself thoughtfully.

"We really should give it a new name."

"Demon Realm?"

"hell?"

"abyss?"

"We also need to think about the images of the next batch of supreme demons."

“There were ten before, but we don’t need so many. Since there are seven floors, one per floor will suffice.”

Im suddenly found that redesigning Hades was a very interesting thing to do.

It needs to be made more suitable for its own needs and those of world governments.

"Ideally, each floor could have a different function, for example, some for imprisonment, some for breeding, and some for training troops."

"The previous seven levels of the Underworld were too crude; although there were many of them, they were not properly developed and managed."

While outlining the scene with holographic virtual images, Im was seriously considering more ideas.

"And could we make the demons a little more normal? Their hostility towards all living beings is not good for the World Government."

"What if we encounter a world in the future where other demonic forces exist?"

"Perhaps we can send them to deal with it, then we won't need to worry about the problem of demonization."

　No need to worry about this book being betrayed by the original Im; we've already prepared for that, and we'll just pass it on to this new clone!
