Chapter 277: The Demon King is Born, and the Demon Star Fights Back

When did the strange idea begin?

Junji Ito didn't know.

He was born on June 6, 1963 at 6:06:6, and has been different since he was a child.

Junji Ito in his childhood, with a withdrawn, gloomy, and obedient personality, has always been unlikable.

Calm and quiet on the surface, but extremely active on the inside, he must be the strangest one among children of the same age.

Junji Ito discovered early on that he was different from others. He is very awkward, and the misfortune of others is his greatest joy. He is addicted to it and disgusted with it, and this tangled psychology has always accompanied him to grow up, even as an adult, under the influence of various rules of the adult world, it has never changed. Perhaps, in the eyes of others, he began to 'mature' and 'rational'. However, it is just the product of the individual beginning to adapt to social relations and rules, and the game between the two sides. He has never changed his way of doing things based on the pursuit of happiness.

Different from the 'ordinary' appearance, Junji Ito knows that there is an 'abnormality' hidden deep in his heart!

As early as kindergarten, he was exposed to grotesque stories......

The surprise manga called "The Mummy Teacher" opened the door to a new world for Junji Ito.

Dark, terrifying, weird, and twisted, Junji Ito sprouted in his heart from then on, and he was addicted to it and couldn't extricate himself.

Just when Junji Ito was promoted to junior high school, an incident happened, and a classmate named Tomie Kawakami passed away. For residents in small places, the fact that the classmate I met yesterday died in a car accident and died suddenly was too shocking. Even after the funeral, Junji Ito felt a great sense of unreality, as if he was dreaming. During that time, friends would often say, 'I can't believe it'. It is precisely because of this that Junji Ito has an unrealistic idea that his dead classmates will reappear in the school at any time.

It was at this moment that Junji Ito discovered that just reading the stories created by others was no longer enough to satisfy himself.

He picked up his paintbrush and began to paint his own world......

When Junji Ito finished his first work, he had a kind of enlightenment.

There is an unfathomable superhuman ability hidden deep within him, and unlike ordinary people, no one can be more powerful than him.

Obviously a novice, the painting style is clumsy, but his comics can bring people the ultimate thriller. His talent for terror is all on display in it. This talent is the result of precipitation since childhood, and without a teacher, he has mastered a skill called 'frightening others', and he can feel the tremor of his soul at a glance.

At this point, Junji Ito couldn't stop running on the terrifying road like a vehicle that had lost its brakes.

He just wants to draw the world in his mind, and he doesn't care at all what kind of reader can bear it. He uses what he thinks is the best way to create a daymare, reviving a character like the Fearmaker, so that the sun can't hide the dark clouds. Psychological, bloody, the two fears strike together, crushing the reader's little bit of meager immunity. It's not just 'horror', it's 'aesthetics'! It represents the purest concentration of horror creators. Junji Ito's world is never 'illusory', but 'real'.

One day, Junji Ito's cat, Koshi, was talking to him in the studio.

Cats can talk, which is not scientific, but it is interesting.

Junji Ito was not afraid, but communicated with each other curiously.

The 'Little Four' with the skull pattern on the back brought him the news of the original version of 'Infinite Space'.

This demon cat with wisdom thinks that Junji Ito also has the qualifications to become a reincarnation.

Graveyard Kitaro, Rift Girl, Demon Labyrinth, Drifting Classroom, Dream Gentleman, School Monster ......

Just as the 'Little Four' expected, in just a few missions, Junji Ito has grown to the pinnacle of the gold level!

When the path of infinite space came to an end, the mystery of the Four Heavenly Gates of the Divine Gate gradually unfolded in front of him.

According to Junji Ito's research, fear is magical, and when the power of fear increases, the more attractive it is to people. It is reduced to an abstract symbol in the spiritual world, detached from reality. It is only in the most metaphysical realm that we can get a glimpse of what we are. In this phenomenon, it is possible to gain the power to dominate everything behind the scenes!

It's all about ......

- Vortex.

Devour everything, twist everything, change everything, and use terror to rally spirits!

Finally, Junji Ito's creation began to explode.

Darkness, stress, anxiety, fear, gloom, destruction, death, destruction, doom......

On this tree of terror, Junji Ito entwined the vines in his brain into various things around him, playing with his horror dolls at a time. They are the hair that grows out of its own consciousness, the humanoid cave on Amikaya Mountain, the nightmare that grows longer and can't wake up, the no-fish that walks on land, the human head balloon that sentences humanity to be hanged collectively, the girl who turns into a slug, the monster that steals her appearance, the pervert who peeps in the drainpipe, the mold that devours everything, the Oshikiri who always lives on the edge of the alien dimension, and the Tomie Kawakami who is infinitely resurrected and reborn......

Countless horror stories, turned into real worlds.

The great name of the Twisted Heavenly Demon King has begun to circulate in the infinite space!

When Junji Ito completes the 'Black Conspiracy', a planet-sized sphere representing the soul appears.

While seeing it, Junji Ito understood that he had broken through the 'soul' barrier and the 'qi' barrier, and the two became one.

As long as he makes further breakthroughs in his body and mind, he will be able to become a true god and truly peek into the mysteries of the world.

At the same time, Junji Ito discovered that Tomie Kawakami's cells had undergone uncontrollable changes. Perhaps, from the very beginning, her birth was a mistake! The Resurrection Daughter began to multiply indefinitely, devouring anything around her that could be devoured. In the end, she was united by evil thoughts, and under the deep hope of Junji Ito himself, she incarnated into the 'Hell Star', a monster with three levels of qi, soul, and body, and more powerful than the creator.

In the beginning, Hell Star was able to barely control himself and not attack Junji Ito's main body. But after it devoured several nearby horror worlds, under the influence of the dark magic emitted by the world of Cthulhu, its original will that was originally formed by the integration of countless Kawakami Tomie, and it was already scattered and unseen, was completely polluted and fell into madness.

The world of Junji Ito is his creation and his body.

Its essence is a picture divided into several grids, and the Hell Star is the 'ink' that will infect it.

The 'body' represented by Tomie, the 'soul' and 'qi' transformed from the soul of the black conspiracy, the blood vessels of the earth in Baisha Village, the fruit of the blood rain tree, the stitched corpse representing the lonely mind, and the sword of the soul resurrector who can resurrect people...... All of this stems from Junji Ito's self-expression, which is the deepest desire of his heart.

In order to protect himself from being counterattacked, Junji Ito had to activate the defense mechanism. Using the eight layers of the world plus the 'whirlpool', together form an infinite loop of long dreams! Even if Hell Star really breaks through these eight layers of worlds, the 'reality' it can reach is also created by Junji Ito. The end will go back to the beginning and repeat again.

You can go deep, but you can never get to the 'real'!

If Shi Songhong hadn't used 'heaven and world, only me', it would have been the same ending.

However, no matter how powerful this kind of backhand is, it only makes Junji Ito linger.

He couldn't deal with Hellstar, because it was the product of his own greatest desire.

Junji Ito couldn't overcome his own mind......

Finally, after the Hell Star devoured the worlds of the 'Double Death Pavilion' and the 'Peacock King', a turning point appeared! The dark demon gods in hell escaped by luck with their god-level superb mana and escaped into the depths of the world of Junji Ito. In the sixth layer of the 'chaotic' world, they found the artificial monster 'Black Bird' deliberately left behind by Junji Ito, and with the power of the dark sun controlled by the 'Six Realms', they mastered the 'whirlpool' of the seventh layer of the 'turbulent' world, thus manipulating reincarnation and further slowing down the pace of the hell star to the depths of the Ito Junji world.

Junji Ito saw all this.

However, he did not intend to stop it, but acquiesced in the actions of the dark gods.

Since you can't defeat Hell Star yourself, let's cultivate a 'brave man'!

Under the deliberate guidance of Junji Ito, these demon gods began to spread some malicious information to the outside world.

The anomalous signal observed by the Blood Divine Prefecture through the 'Source Celestial Sphere' came from this.

Whether it's an outsider or these demon gods, as long as someone reaches the realm of 'three-in-one body', which is only weaker than the true god, they can help Junji Ito destroy the hell star and return to normal! That's what he wants.

Just as they thought, there was a reincarnation organization in the Eastern Region that surveyed the vision and sent a god-level reincarnation to find out the truth. Hiroshi Ishimatsu, who is the representative, was discovered by the coveted Hell Star on the periphery before entering the world of Junji Ito, and looked at him. Shi Songhong, who was only the first god level, was not the opponent of the Hell Star, he was deeply damaged, and even his recovery ability was weakened to the extreme. In desperation, he had to take the risk of escaping into the first layer of the 'appearance' of the world of Ito Junji. As soon as he entered there, he was besieged by many demon gods who were waiting for him. Fueled by the power of the demon god and Junji Ito, Hiroshi Ishimatsu was split into four parts. The body is occupied by Krumphes, and his soul and power are transformed into Doom and Heaven, responsible for continuing to resist the invasion of Hell Star, and as for his mental part, because he has comprehended the 'golden spirit', the other parts cannot be fused without being destroyed and transformed. The helpless dark demon gods could only throw Shi Songhong's spiritual light into reincarnation.

It's a pity that the plan to use reincarnation to wear down Shi Songhong's will and seize his power failed. As early as in the wonderful adventure world of JOJO, when he made a sacrifice for himself, Hiroshi Ishimatsu broke through the 'heart' barrier without even knowing it! This is also the fundamental reason why Jun Mozhi wants to save him from the infinite space. Therefore, even if he is deeply immersed in reincarnation, Shi Songhong will not die, and the light of his soul will only guide himself to find flaws!

No matter how strong the defense is, there will be an end to it...... As the threat of Hell Star became closer and closer, the demon gods were forced to lose patience by the pressure, and wanted to directly usurp Shi Songhong's power, so that they could also reach the same 'three-in-one body' realm as Hell Star, so as to destroy each other in turn. So, with the help of the power of the artificial monster 'Blackbird', Crumpet traveled through time and space, incarnated as a 'superpower transfer student' and 'exorcist' Shi Songhong, and tried to contact 'Hong Junfei' in many reincarnations. In order to prevent him from communicating with him in a crisis and awakening his god-level power, the demon god repeatedly appeared to eliminate the crisis for him, and took the initiative to teach him the magic seal and spells as a shackle.

In the beginning, this really works.

But the heart will never fall! Consistently, Shi Songhong finally found himself.

"I ...... Your name is Hiroshi Ishimatsu. ”

When they met in the forest, Hong Junfei asked another Shi Songhong, which was a manifestation of his awakening of self-consciousness.

It was from here that Shi Songhong, who was still Hong Junfei, gradually noticed that something was wrong.

As 'Hong Junfei', Shi Songhong's reason why his stomach has perfect biological cells is because he was influenced by the 'human-faced blackbird', and once ate his own meat in the 'tumbler' barbecue restaurant in the story of "Triglycerides". This is also one of the chains that the demon god has put on him, even if Ishimatsuhiro awakens, it can use the causal power of the law of time to deal with him. It's just that no matter how good the idea is, Kruface doesn't use it.

After slaying the Demon God and destroying the Vortex, Hiroshi Ishimatsu proved his worth.

It's all just a 'dream', but it's a 'real' dream.

Showing the top strength of the god level, he already has the qualifications to negotiate the conditions with Junji Ito!

So, Hiroshi Ishimatsu was guided by the hidden Junji Ito and came to his world as a 'game-breaker'.

"Now, make a choice!"

After saying everything, Junji Ito looked at Hiroshi Ishimatsu, his eyes with dark circles narrowed slightly, and a weird smile on his face: "When you know the truth of everything, you ...... What will be done? ”

"I ......"

Shi Songhong's hand clenched.
