Chapter 243: The End of an Era Represents the Birth of a New God
Although Yoshida finally obtained seemingly valuable information from Makoto Takahashi after going through all kinds of tortures, Yoshida was not happy! Not to mention the bitter process of obtaining information, even the information obtained was not as valuable as he imagined!
Knowing that the final ending was completed in "Tide and Tiger", and also knowing that the last face would be a joint operation of several protagonists, and Makoto Takahashi, who was frenzied, repeatedly said that he would kill many characters during the Armageddon, which made Yoshida very worried! But Yoshida had no way to say it to others, and he didn't know how to say it! Knowing that the tragedy was about to begin, he was powerless to stop it, so he could only watch...... This sense of powerlessness, this sin of weakness, made Yoshida entangled for nearly two months!
Having said that, Yoshida was still very surprised by the yokai era that Makoto Takahashi had constructed through the manga! Although four yokai manga with different styles were serialized, the yokai era built through these comics really allowed Yoshida and even many readers to witness the process of the yokai era from prosperity to decline! Counting the comic "Slippery Man", which has ended, the development sequence of the four yokai manga has allowed many readers to witness the rise and fall of the yokai era!
In the manga Inuyasha, youkai and humans divide the world...... No, to be precise, the weak human beings at that time were just the objects of wanton predation by the monsters! Because the degree of development of human society was not very high at that time, and human beings were still in the period of cold weapons, and the lethality of monsters was not very high, so in the comics, the real enemy of monsters was only the monsters themselves! For the monsters standing at the top of the food chain, human beings were just food that could be replenished at any time......
And in the comic "Slippery Ghost", which has ended, the generation of the Nuliang group has realized that the yokai will gradually decline! Therefore, after defeating the monster feathered fox entrenched in Kyoto, it did not replace the dominance of the Kyoto yokai. ●⌒ Top-notch novel, instead, he took his monsters back to his hometown in Edo and hid in the dark!
Maybe youkai can continue to kill people unscrupulously, but such a path will eventually lead to the destruction of youkai! It is precisely because of foreseeing such a situation that Slippery Scoop will take his youkai and choose to live in seclusion in human society. Because since the battle of the feathered fox, Nuliang has seen the development potential of human beings, and realized that the era of belonging to youkai has passed, and human beings will become the real rulers!
The most obvious is naturally the progress of humans in the battle between humans and monsters in the manga "Tide and Tiger"!
Whether it's "Inuyasha" or "Slippery Head", there is not much about humans in these two yokai manga. When dealing with youkai, most of them rely on cold weapons and spells...... By the way, the humans here are just passing by soy sauce tricks, and they are just humans who haven't joined the protagonist's side or even established a relationship with the protagonist's side!
But in the manga "Tide and Tiger", when humans deal with monsters, they have begun to use modern weapons! Although monsters are still very powerful, they are powerful. But it's just a talent from their own race!, so many readers see that in "Tide and Tiger", humans use hot weapons to fight monsters. I will have this feeling in my heart to a greater or lesser extent......
Yokai Age...... It's come to an end!
"This ...... Is that what Makoto you want to express?" Yoshida had a melancholy expression on his face after reading the new manga draft, "Because human beings are constantly progressing and developing, so ...... Is the yokai era declining?"
Although he had already felt the meaning that Makoto Takahashi wanted to convey from the manga, Yoshida always felt a little uncomfortable! After all, the yokai manga has been serialized for a long time. From the big monsters that humans couldn't compete with at the beginning, to the monsters whose names are now bound by a friend's book, they have witnessed the monsters go from being so powerful that they can only follow humans to ask for their names...... The process of the entire yokai era from prosperity to decay made Yoshida's heart very complicated!
It's not because Makoto Takahashi said it. The reason why the yokai era is coming to an end is ......
"Now, my dependents belong to the cat, witness an ordinary human being, become a savior hero-like existence, and then watch this hero San, gradually aging with the passage of time...... Because you understand that this is an irresistible ability, do you feel sympathy in your heart?" Looking at Yoshida's tangled and depressed expression, Makoto Takahashi gently tapped the table and sneered disdainfully, "Hmph! Human beings, this creature, because of such pathetic compassion, is so weak that I am disgusted!"
Although it is not wrong...... But the root of the sin is really Makoto Takahashi, right?
"Ah Cheng, the monster era you built really makes me feel like a hero is in the twilight......"
Yoshida, who has developed resistance to Makoto Takahashi's ridicule of human beings, did not turn on the spit mode, but unexpectedly agreed with Makoto Takahashi's point of view! Because the three comics that are still serialized now, the difference in combat effectiveness between the monsters is too great! "Inuyasha" is the earliest yokai manga, whether it is the purebred big monster Lori control killing pill, or the villain's half-demon Naraku, and even the occasional passerby monster, it is much stronger than the monster in the new manga "Natsume"!
"Let's put it this way...... After the battle with the dragon bone spirit, the dog daddy, for the sake of the princess of the sixteen nights, was seriously injured and was able to successfully enter the village garrisoned by the army...... But if it were in the current era, hundreds of atomic bombs and hydrogen bombs would be thrown over, and Daddy Dog would definitely have no bones left!" Makoto Takahashi looked at the pensive Yoshida, and a ghostly smile appeared on his face, "When humans were still slash-and-burn, youkai were able to use demonic power, when humans began to use swords, youkai still used demonic power, and when humans began to use missiles, youkai still used demonic power...... In the face of human beings who have been making progress, the monsters have not made any progress, so the decay and extinction of the monster era is not the so-called heroic twilight, but an inevitable fate!"
"Na, my family belongs to the cat, the end of an era means the beginning of a new era, the replacement of the old and the new, the will of the development of the world, and the truth in the universe that cannot be disobeyed!" Without giving Yoshida a chance to speak at all, Makoto Takahashi said to himself, "You are just witnesses, you are only observers, so your duty is to witness everything, observe everything, ......that's all!
"By the way, Makoto mentioned on the phone that you wanted to talk to me about the order of the manga serialization...... "Yoshida faced Makoto Takahashi's upcoming attack on the second lieutenant, and chose to switch topics for defense without hesitation, "So, is there anything wrong with the serialization order?"
"Well, it's not a big problem, I just want to perform a large-scale operation, announcing to all humans and the whole world that the feast that ends in the yokai era is about to begin......" Makoto Takahashi showed a look of fanatical anticipation on his face, and continued to make up for what had been interrupted by Yoshida before, "At the same time, I also said to Gaia-chan, who represents the will of the world, that my Phoenix Temple is really fierce...... will become a god who will create a new world!" (To be continued......)
