Eto glanced at the lava pool, feeling utterly useless. She had even chosen to arm herself with human equipment after losing her ghoul status, all to be able to contribute in the search for the original species and the ensuing battle. But after all this, it seemed she was only good for shouting '666' on the sidelines, and she hadn't even done that. She hadn't fired a single shot from beginning to end. Even clearing the flesh walls made of kagune was Wang Xiaoming's job. She was truly useless.
But with a big shot around, it was indeed unnecessary for her to be of any use.
"Let's go, let's go back."
Eto followed Wang Xiaoming out. Tatara didn't say anything, simply following Eto as she left. As for Amon, naturally he couldn't stay here alone, so he went out with them.
The four of them left the large cavern of the 24th ward and came to the surface. Looking at the still-raining Tokyo, they sighed in unison.
It was over. The evil of this world, everything was over. The so-called ghouls would gradually withdraw from the stage of human society from this day forward, and the world would return to the hands of humans.
"So, what are you planning to do next?"
Wang Xiaoming pulled out an ice cream from who knows where and handed it to Esther, letting her slowly lick it with her little tongue. As for himself, he looked at the three people beside him, waiting for their answers.
"I'll probably just go back to my old life."
"Old life?"
"That's right. Don't let my appearance fool you, I'm a bestselling novelist. Even if I've lost my ghoul powers, supporting myself is no problem. As for Tatara, how about you follow me and be my bodyguard or something?"
"I have no problem with that. Thank you, Eto."
"Hahaha, between the two of us, is there any need for thanks?"
Eto nudged Tatara's waist with her elbow, laughing as she spoke.
"Amon, what about you? The CCG should be disbanding soon. The suppressant isn't only effective on ghouls, the CCG's quinque weapons will also become useless, and there won't be any ghouls for you to fight. According to Japanese custom, you'll probably be directly dismissed. This will be a huge layoff, and the corresponding partner businesses will also collapse. There will probably be a wave of unemployment."
"I should be fine. Although I'm not skilled at many things, I'm very confident in my physical strength. I can consider joining the army or becoming a construction worker. Supporting myself shouldn't be a problem."
Amon also shared his thoughts.
"As for the other ghouls, I can only feel sorry for them. Apart from a few ghouls, the rest basically have no jobs, no education, and no technical skills. They'll probably end up as thugs, joining the yakuza, or becoming the lowest-level laborers."
High-level ghouls all had their own social identities, but low-level ghouls were a bit tragic. Many of them didn't know anything. Now that all the ghouls in Japan had become ordinary people, it meant that Japan suddenly had many unemployed people. If they wanted to survive, they had to honestly go to work.
"However, this is at least better than eating people. Everyone is human now."
Wang Xiaoming couldn't help but laugh when he heard this.
"You say that so easily, but Japan suddenly has hundreds of thousands of unemployed people. These people will probably increase the burden on the incompetent Japanese police."
"In that case...."
Amon tilted his head and thought for a moment.
"How about I become a police officer!"

"I'm back!"
Inside the laboratory, Wang stretched out his arms, making a gesture to stretch his body, while behind him, Esther wrapped her arms around his neck, hanging on his back, her little head close to Wang Xiaoming's ear.
"Xiaoming, welcome back."
Wang Xiaoming smiled and reached out to support Esther from behind.
"Esther, didn't we go together? You should also say 'I'm back.'"
Esther obediently nodded, then followed Wang Xiaoming and said.
"I'm back."
The Ghoul world, to put it bluntly, was caused by the Ghoul virus causing mutations in humans, that is, Ghouls. Wang Xiaoming was different from other transmigrators. He didn't start by showing off and killing a group of Ghouls as soon as he entered, nor did he stand on the Ghoul side and kill a group of investigators. From beginning to end, he only took action once at the end, solving the source of the Ghoul virus. All the remaining Ghouls were dealt with by Wang Xiaoming with suppressants, and he even used the method of letting the Ghouls fight each other.
It must be said that Wang Xiaoming played the American to the fullest, supporting agents, and then letting the agents fight each other, giving himself time to accumulate preparations, and then directly taking everyone away in one wave.
Most of the time, Wang Xiaoming used it to produce suppressants, and then load the suppressants into the Tomahawk missiles on the American Navy destroyers. The rest of the time, Wang Xiaoming basically kept getting those munitions, and then selling them to the Ghoul parties. The rest of the time, Wang Xiaoming basically took Esther around Tokyo to eat, drink, and have fun.
Esther was a foodie, and although there was also food in the Danmachi world, the food to eat was ultimately limited. Yayako was in charge of the familia's kitchen, but Yayako didn't have time to stay in the kitchen every day. She was now the main combat force of the familia, going to the dungeon, so in the absence of celebrations, the food in the familia, although abundant, didn't have everything.
Therefore, Wang Xiaoming, bringing Esther to a modern world, naturally had to take Esther around Tokyo, eating all kinds of delicious food.
As for after the mission ended, Wang Xiaoming stayed in the Ghoul world for a few more days. These days, Tokyo was very lively. The Ghouls became ordinary people, and had no jobs, so the Ghouls who didn't have much ability started doing all kinds of things. They also wanted to survive, but they had to eat ordinary people's food, and at this time they needed money very much.
So, for money, the timid Ghouls ran to work, the bold ones became gangsters, and the more Buddhist ones, such as Yoshimura, started their own shops. In order to help these Ghouls who had become ordinary people and wanted to open shops, Yoshimura even established a mutual aid chamber of commerce to help these Ghouls open shops.
In short, because Tokyo suddenly had hundreds of thousands more ordinary people, Tokyo's GDP suddenly increased a lot. After all, these guys basically didn't have much consumption originally, and they didn't need any consumption. They only knew how to fight and eat people every day. Now that they had become ordinary people, there were suddenly many more needs, and consumption surged.
The number of workers in Tokyo suddenly increased a lot, bringing a lot of labor to Tokyo, and at the same time driving consumption growth.
This wave, this wave is a great improvement in the Japanese economy!
After all, the Japanese economy depends on Tokyo.
Eto Yoshimura continued to be her bestselling novelist, Tatara became her bodyguard. After all, Eto Yoshimura, after becoming an ordinary person, was really a weak and powerless girl. Although Tatara also lost his Ghoul abilities, his size was there, and fighting had a natural tonnage advantage.
Amon really went to become a police officer, and even became one, rushing to the front line every day to fight with those Ghouls who had joined the yakuza. As a result, it seemed that he was still fighting with "Ghouls."
In short, the future of this Ghoul world should be pretty good.
Lifting Esther up with his hands, Wang Xiaoming opened his system.
"Come, come, let's see what skills I've gotten."
Before, when he leveled up to LV5, Wang Xiaoming got a skill. Now that he had completed the world level breakthrough mission, Wang Xiaoming also got a second skill.
[Achievement: Leveled up to LV5]
[Achievement Reward: This person's skill is no less than mine]
[This person's skill is no less than mine]
Characteristic: You can curse the enemy. After saying 'This person's skill is no less than mine,' all of the enemy's attributes will be reduced by 50%.
This was the skill Wang Xiaoming got when he leveled up to LV5.
To be honest, this skill is a bit redundant because Wang Xiaoming's other skill, [Listen to Me, Listen to Me], can also reduce the enemy's attributes by 50% after saying the line. It's just that Wang Xiaoming hasn't encountered any enemies that require him to reduce their attributes.
However, these redundant skills can be stacked!
That is to say, when encountering an enemy, Wang Xiaoming first activates [Listen to Me, Listen to Me], saying, "This person's power is not below mine," directly reducing the enemy's attributes by 50%. Then, after saying this sentence, he also activates this newly acquired skill, further reducing the opponent's attributes by 50% on the already reduced base.
Once stacked, the opponent's attributes will only be 25%, instantly turning into one-quarter of their original strength, essentially crippling them on the spot.
But that's not the most important thing. The most important thing is the reward for completing the world level breakthrough.
[World level has been increased, currently LV5]
[World level task completed, world level breakthrough reward issued, achievement reward type changed during LV5 level]
[Reward has been issued, please check]
[World Savior Reward: 100% Certainty of Catching a Blade Barehanded]
[100% Certainty of Catching a Blade Barehanded]
[Trait: Your swordsmanship is too horrible to bear. Li is unable to watch any longer and chooses to impart his superb swordsmanship to you. With this passive, when you swing your sword, the person you designate as the target will be forced to kneel before you and catch the blade barehanded. Activating this skill requires the target to be within your line of sight, or you know the target's real name.]
[When the skill is activated, a judgment will be made. If the opponent can clasp their hands together, the judgment will succeed, and the skill will be activated. If the opponent cannot clasp their hands together, the judgment will fail, resulting in a powerful attack with 500% attack power.]
Damn, not bad, these two skills for leveling up to LV5.
The level-up reward is a debuff that reduces the enemy's stats, which is a decent skill, but this second skill is a bit too strong!
Li Jing's 100% Certainty of Catching a Blade Barehanded, those who know, know. This is a rule-level control skill, and it's a super-strong group control!
Although this skill directly prevents Wang Xiaoming from killing people with a sword, the control ability can be said to be maxed out.
Moreover, who says that 100% Certainty of Catching a Blade Barehanded can't kill people? You must know that Esther is now the Fire Demon Sword. When activating the Fire Spirit King Authority, Esther's blade will turn into a scorching red blade.
At that time, the taste should be very charred.
As for enemies who cannot clasp their hands together, just as General Li Jing once said:
"Those who can't even clasp their hands together are not qualified to receive his sword!"
A powerful attack with 500% attack power. If I stack my buffs, then reduce the opponent's attributes, and then strike with a sword, if the opponent can't clasp their hands together, they will really die on the spot!
Looking at his newly acquired skill, Wang Xiaoming smiled happily, and immediately thought of something, directly pushing open the laboratory door.
"Yazi, let's go, I'll take you monster hunting!"
308. Receive the Sword, Susanoo
In the Campione world, a cyan spatial portal reappeared, and Wang Xiaoming brought Esther and Yazi to the Campione world together.
This instance world can be in single-player mode or multiplayer mode. For example, bringing Yazi in now counts as multiplayer mode.
The Campione world instance also regained its color due to Wang Xiaoming's return.
Everything was exactly the same as before Wang Xiaoming left. There were no changes. When Wang Xiaoming left, he was in his room in the new Lushan City. Now that he's back, he's back in the room in Lushan City.
"This world, is this the world where Akira-kun obtained his power?"
Yazi looked around at the furnishings. It was a very ordinary room. Other than being quite large, there wasn't anything special about it.
"That's right, this is my room in this world. This world is also the world where I obtained my power. The Dragon Transformation skill was obtained in this world."
"Campione, is such an ability really okay in Orario?"
Yazi couldn't help but ask. Orario is a place ruled by the gods. Becoming a Campione, it would seem that it would provoke the hostility of the gods.
"Do you think there's anything wrong with me? As long as I don't use those overly symbolic abilities obtained from the gods in front of the gods, and besides, Campione is just the name of this world. In Orario, Campione is not commonly used. The gods in this world are not true gods. The power we obtain after killing gods is just curse power, not divine power."
The power between each world is not interchangeable. The gods of the Campione world are just a group of counterfeits endowed with abilities, not true gods.
"So, this world is just a simple way for us to obtain power. You don't need to worry about the rest, Yazi."
"I see, I understand."
Wang Xiaoming's answer made Yazi nod reassuringly. Since Wang Xiaoming said so, Yazi naturally believed it unconditionally.
"Let's go, let's go out and see this world."
Wang Xiaoming took Esther's hand and led Yazi out of his room together.
It was night when Wang Xiaoming left, so the time he came back was still night. However, outside Wang Xiaoming's room, there were people waiting to be summoned not far away, so there was no need to worry about manpower at all. In this world, Wang Xiaoming possessed the title of Great Ming Dragon King.
"Someone!"
Wang Xiaoming stood at the door and called out, and immediately a member of the Five Prisons Sacred Sect ran over.
"Your Majesty Dragon King, what are your orders?"
"Have Mariya Yuri come over."
"Yes!"
The subordinate left immediately and returned again in less than 2 minutes. This time, she was accompanied by a brown-haired girl, who was Mariya Yuri.
"Your Majesty Dragon King, is there anything you need me for?"
After Mariya Yuri came over, she immediately bowed to Wang Xiaoming. Wang Xiaoming's actions in Japan were too frightening for her, especially since her sister was also here now. If she didn't obey Wang Xiaoming's orders, she was worried that her sister would be affected.
"I will need to use your spirit vision later, come with me."
"Yes."
Wang Xiaoming gave the order, and Mariya Yuri immediately agreed without any hesitation.
"Alright, let's go out now."
Wang Xiaoming led Esther and Yazi out, and Mariya Yuri followed behind Wang Xiaoming. She didn't know what Wang Xiaoming was going to do, but she could roughly guess some things. What could use spirit vision was nothing more than things related to the Heretic Gods. Either to see divine tools, or to see Heretic Gods, or to see Campiones.
Mariya Yuri only hoped that Wang Xiaoming was looking at Campiones, because although there were battles between Campiones, they were still between Campiones, and the impact on the surrounding area was not comparable to the appearance of the Heretic Gods.
Moreover, Wang Xiaoming, as the Great Ming Dragon King, would always take care of his territory.
However, Mariya Yuri was very curious about the two people beside Wang Xiaoming. One was a very young silver-haired girl, who seemed to be from Northern Europe, and the other was a purple-haired girl who looked about seventeen or eighteen years old. The purple-haired girl also had a sword at her waist, and judging from her attire, she should be Japanese.
Where did these two people come from? They didn't have any curse power on them, so it could be determined that they were not Heretic Gods, but the situation of their appearance was too strange.
She lived in a room not far from Wang Xiaoming's room, with her sister. To go to Wang Xiaoming's room, she had to pass by her door, but she didn't see anyone passing by her door. Where did these people come from?
With such doubts, Mariya Yuri followed the group out of the courtyard and arrived at the top of Mount Lu all the way.
