Tokyo Gods Only Want Beautiful Priestesses

The sky was a dark red, devoid of sun and moon, save for storms and streaks of red lightning. The land was a blood-red hue, littered with the bones of various corpses, and even the occasional rivers in the distance flowed with crimson blood. There was no sign of life; desolation seemed to be the dominant theme here.

The shrine has never been to Hell, but the sights of the animal realm already closely resemble the feeling of Hell.

"How about it? This is the animal kingdom, a world of pure survival of the fittest, where even herbivores have to rely on drinking blood and eating meat to survive."

The centipede-like woman opened her hands and feet, the lines on them seeming like living tentacles, expressing her excitement.

The essence of survival is killing and plundering. To survive, one must take the lives of others, even those of cattle and horses grazing on grass.

The animal kingdom is such an extreme place, where instinctive desires are amplified infinitely.

"What's there?"

The shrine maiden raised her head and looked into the distance. As far as her eyes could see, there seemed to be some buildings.

"Those? That's your destination, of course. Even animals that act purely on instinct will form their own groups and emulate human wisdom; that's how demons are born."

"The so-called Four Heavenly Kings of the Animal Realm are just four powerful demons who have most successfully imitated humans in the animal realm."

The giant centipede kindly explained all this to the shrine, its gaze fixed intently on the shrine.

"Since I've explained so much to you and kindly shown you the way, shouldn't you reciprocate and give me something in return?"

"Ok?"

"Are you a dragon? My mouth has been watering ever since I saw you."

She wiped the drool that she couldn't control from the corner of her mouth. No wonder she had been eating so much before; she was suppressing her appetite by constantly eating.

Now, they have successfully led the shrine to an open area where the two of them are alone. Centipedes are inherently gluttonous creatures, and the pervasive instinctive aura of the animal kingdom makes the giant centipede's appetite even more uncontrollable.

"Let me taste you. Just one claw will do. That Bao Ji is poisonous; she felt terrible after just a couple of bites. You shouldn't be like that, right?"

As the centipede spoke, her body became increasingly ferocious, revealing centipede tentacles through the cracks in her hands and feet, and her jaws split open, exposing her mandibles.

Now she is about to truly reveal the terrifying power of the dragon-eating centipede.

The first day of the college entrance examination really makes me nostalgic for the days when I was also writing furiously in the examination hall.

Chapter 134 What do you think this place is?

"I was wrong! I won't do it again! Please stop stepping on it!"

It was still in the animal kingdom, the only difference being that the once arrogant and confident centipede was now being trampled underfoot by the Divine Palace.

The earth was riddled with holes, as if it had been plowed back and forth countless times by some giant drilling machine. Jagged rocks and countless claw marks destroyed the surrounding land like knife cuts, turning the plain into valleys.

The instigator, at this moment, could only helplessly be trampled underfoot by the shrine, being repeatedly ravaged.

"Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! My skin is being rubbed raw! Please, please, have mercy! Let's make peace! Let's make peace!"

As it turns out, legends are legends and reality is reality; the giant centipede ultimately couldn't eat the dragon and could only find something related to the dragon as a substitute.

"Reconciliation? Fine, but shouldn't you offer some apology?"

Jingu loosened his grip and, somewhat curiously, bent down to touch the mandibles at the corner of the centipede's mouth. These were the giant teeth that centipedes used to catch prey, capable of injecting massive amounts of venom. But magnified so many times, they possessed a strange and eerie beauty.

Oh no, I guess I'll have to start accepting weird aesthetics now.

"What...what are you going to do?"

The once imposing and arrogant centipede was now behaving weakly, her face flushed, touching someone's teeth—a very strange sight. From Ibuki's words, she had heard of the shrine's reputation for debauchery and lust; could it be that they were going to do something to her here?

"Hehe~"

The shrine maiden released her jaws, raised her hand, and touched her long tentacles again, revealing an evil smile.

"Change it!"

"Ok?"

On the land of the animal kingdom, a colossal beast crawled across the earth, leaving deep scars wherever it went, as if cleaved by a knife and axe.

The giant centipede, over a thousand feet long, revealed its true form. The divine palace stood atop its carapace, and its feet, like giant blades, mercilessly destroyed and harmed everything in their path.

This feeling is really great! It reminds me of when the Evil Emperor Xuantian rode a spider when I watched The Legend of the Condor Heroes. Riding these arthropods is actually more comfortable.

Whether it's a horse or a tiger or wolf, the movement of muscles when exerting force will inevitably cause bumps. Insects, on the other hand, do not have this problem. Especially when magnified many times, the exoskeleton of insects looks as shiny as steel.

On their way to their destination, the shrine finally got a glimpse of the animal realm, because since all the creatures there are spirits, trees and flowers cannot grow there.

Whether it's wolves, insects, tigers, leopards, cattle, horses, sheep, or rabbits, they will only fight and devour each other for their own survival. Because the lifespan of a soul is limited, they constantly replenish it by devouring other souls. Chaos and fighting are their normal state.

However, according to the giant centipede, the more remote the place, the less intelligent it is. Most of them are just ordinary animal spirits. But as they gradually become aware of their instincts, they begin to imitate human wisdom and transform into demons and the like. These creatures are usually found in areas closer to the center.

Ordinary spirits are no longer enough to satisfy their needs; they must devour more powerful opponents. Of course, the animal realm isn't only populated by these native spirits.

A large portion of them were demons from outside.

Aside from the occasional visit of the giant centipede, there were also figures like Bao Ji who established themselves locally and made quite a name for themselves.

Nowadays, it's no longer possible to distinguish between animal spirits and demons from the outside world; they're all essentially the same, continuing to fight for survival.

As they approached their destination, Jingu gradually came to see what the buildings were. It was a city built to resemble a modern metropolis, with red skyscrapers forming a strange urban landscape. The lights were somewhat soft and bright, and even the few neon lights had an eerie dimness.

There's always a feeling of seeing a ghost in the middle of the night. If you turned around in the real world and saw something like that, you'd probably think you'd encountered a ghost.

Upon reaching the vicinity of the metropolitan area, the giant centipede transformed back into human form, retaining some of its centipede characteristics without reverting to its human form.

"Is this enough? I really have other things to do, so you can go find Bao Ji yourself?"

The centipede, which had diligently served as the shrine's mount all the way, just wanted to escape as quickly as possible. It hoped that no one it knew had seen what had just happened, otherwise it would have been a huge loss of face.

After saying that, he ran away in a flash, feeling that nothing good could come of staying near the shrine.

The shrine didn't pay her any attention. Although he had a fondness for insect girls, it wasn't much, and he wasn't that perverted yet. Instead, he began to observe this urban area of ​​the animal world with great interest.

Strangely, some are bipedal but retain animal fur and features, some are similar to humans but retain their own physical characteristics such as wings, tails, and ears, and there are also those bizarre states where one is half human and half animal.

In the modern world, these would roughly correspond to three different groups: furry, kemonomimi (animal-eared girls), and half-orcs.

However, he didn't know if it was because Jingu was too handsome or what, but he always felt that these animals were looking at him. However, Jingu was gradually getting used to it.

After scanning the surroundings and locking onto a bunny-eared girl, he walked towards her with a smile, his charm fully unleashed.

"Hello, I'm from the outside world. Do you know Bao Ji? She's one of the Four Heavenly Kings. I need to talk to her about something."

The rabbit-eared girl blushed and her legs went weak, completely unable to resist the shrine's smile. Just as she was about to speak, a deafening whistle rang out, and deep red spiritual energy splattered onto the signboard behind her.

Although the building was not damaged thanks to the sturdiness of the building materials, the shock of the explosion still left the bunny girl and her companions covered in dust and dirt, and the rabbit's eyes instantly turned red.

A group of animal spirits appeared from around the corner, driving war chariots and arrogantly bombarding the streets. Naturally, this behavior provoked a counterattack.

"Just because I'm not showing my teeth doesn't mean I'm a pushover! Sisters, let's kill those sons of bitches!"

Forgetting about the shrine, the rabbit-eared girl called out to her sisters, firing spirit energy bullets from her fingertips at them as if they were free. Rabbits are ferocious animals; don't be fooled by their cute appearance.

In an instant, the entire street erupted into a fierce street fight. Whether they seemed mild-mannered or cowardly, they all revealed their ferocious side. Explosions rang out one after another, and the shrine instantly became an outsider.

There was order, but only one thing: this guy saw it and immediately exclaimed that he wanted to go home, feeling the breath of freedom. Then, thinking of the so-called Four Heavenly Kings of the Animal Kingdom, I understand—this is Gotham with bats, but no Batman.

I don't understand why these animal spirits rarely engage in close combat but instead use spirit energy projectiles.

This chapter contains 5058 words.

I'll just sketch out a little bit of what the animal kingdom looks like for now, to give you a general idea.

Chapter 135 Advancing into the Animal Realm

How are the recent revenue figures?

Sitting in the chair, Bao Ji crossed her legs, her delicate arches tensed, and used her toes to lift the chin of the person kneeling on the ground.

Even as a woman herself, she couldn't help but feel breathless, her face flushed, and an urge to lick the feet of the person in front of her arose.

"Everything was running smoothly and normally while the adults were away. Although there were quite a few skirmishes and unexpected losses, overall it was still growing steadily."

In the animal kingdom, there is no such thing as currency, but there is a more direct form of hard currency—the soul, which all living beings in this world need. Or, to be more specific, it can be called soul power, or soul force.

Souls also have a lifespan, and will eventually dissolve and merge into the world under the wear and tear of time. Therefore, for them, the soul is life. In the animal kingdom of the past, no one would exchange a precious soul for other things, but for the animal kingdom of today, it is a different story.

When Bao Ji arrived in the Animal Realm and joined forces with three other great demons to create this demon city, the Animal Realm entered a new era.

"Oh? It can still maintain growth? I thought they would eat up a lot of market share while I was away."

Bao Ji lowered her foot and changed her posture. As her legs shifted, her long, voluptuous thighs were revealed from the slit in her cheongsam-like skirt. She wasn't particularly concerned about the exact revenue.

She wasn't an animal spirit, and that little bit of soul couldn't do much for her; it was mostly just for amusement.

"Recently, the overall soul quantity in the animal realm has been steadily improving, so most animal spirits have surplus energy to enjoy themselves. Even if they suffer some losses in the battles with other forces, their numbers are still increasing."

The soul is not only life and currency, but also electricity, light, a universal medical supply, bullets in battle, and everything in this city.

This is the animal kingdom, a world where people fight each other, using their lives as a stake.

The spirit energy bullets used to mimic humans are intended to reduce risks and losses. In close combat, once a part of one's body is torn off, a significant amount of soul power is lost. This applies even to foreign demons with physical bodies. Devouring and being devoured is a double-edged sword.

Having no interest in hearing the other party's report on the amount of soul power stored up, as well as the losses and casualties in the various battles, Bao Ji asked the next question.

"How's the Primate Park? Is it doing there? We haven't lost any of our share, have we?"

Before the woman kneeling there could speak, the door was suddenly pushed open, and Jingu walked in, greeting Baoji.

"Oh, Bao Ji, I've been looking for you for ages."

An enemy attack? She had never known that her boss had male friends. In the animal kingdom, they were either friends or enemies. How did they manage to get in? As the question arose, she quickly rolled and turned around, revealing her claws, her spiritual energy bullets ready to be fired.

"Idiot! Put your claws away!"

Bao Ji's tail slapped her head, making her stumble. But that wasn't the most bewildering thing. What truly confused her was that her boss, that treacherous, cunning, and ruthless woman, was now running in a panic to the boy she considered an enemy, bowing low.

She smiled in an almost fawning manner.

"Lord Jingu, you came to the animal realm without telling me. It's too sudden. How am I supposed to serve you?"

While attending to the woman at the shrine, the woman cast a cold glance at her. Knowing that she was not in the right place to be there at this moment, she silently crawled out.

“Something came up, so I went to find you at Red Leaf’s place, but you weren’t there. So I came to the Beast Realm to look for you.”
