Chapter 165: Chapter 165: Demanding Death Row Inmates
"Nostradamus’s Prophecy? That’s..."
Yuki Kirisu had heard of that prophecy before, but hardly anyone had ever taken it seriously, so she had to think for a moment before remembering what it was. "You mean the prophecy about the world ending in 1999?"
"That’s right. Although it’s only a prophecy from a few hundred years ago, and probably not many people nowadays take it seriously, based on the information I’ve learned so far, there really is a chance the great prophecy will come true."
Kotone Asaba speculated, "I’m guessing it should be similar to the principle behind all kinds of things becoming Devils. Nostradamus’s Prophecy may very well have become a Devil too, so once the time comes, the Great King of Terror will descend upon the human world."
"Then... how are we supposed to stop the prophecy from coming true?"
Yuki Kirisu believed what Kotone Asaba said, not only because she trusted Kotone Asaba enough, but also because it was true that anything could become a Devil.
It did not matter whether something really existed or not, as long as the concept existed.
For example, dragons did not exist, but because the concept of "dragons" existed, the Dragon Devil also appeared.
"I’m not too sure about that for now, but there’s no need to worry too much either. We’ll just take it one step at a time."
Kotone Asaba answered honestly.
Although he knew that Makima and the Famine Devil both wanted to stop Nostradamus’s Prophecy from coming true, he only trusted Makima. For now, he did not trust the Famine Devil. After all, who knew whether the reason the Famine Devil gave in the original story about delicious food disappearing was actually just an excuse to trick the Control Devil into cooperating with her?
He always felt that there had to be a reason the Four Horsewomen were not united.
Because of that, Kotone Asaba was not considering cooperating with the Famine Devil for the time being. At the very least, he had to understand that person well enough first.
"All right. Since you put it that way, we’ll rely on you when the time comes."
Yuki Kirisu was still fairly optimistic.
In her eyes, Kotone Asaba was already the strongest combat force Tokyo Public Safety had on the surface. If even Kotone Asaba could not solve that prophecy when the time came, then there would basically be no hope.
"Yeah. Just leave it to me."
Kotone Asaba said calmly.
At present, Nostradamus’s Prophecy was still far away for him. What he should care about now was not that thing, but how to deal with the War Devil and the Famine Devil.
As time slowly passed, everyone had more or less had their fill of fun.
At this point, Kotone Asaba and the others had already returned to Tokyo and continued doing what they were supposed to do.
Kotone Asaba was in Yuki Kirisu’s office discussing something with her. "I need some death row inmates."
"Death row inmates? What do you need death row inmates for?"
Yuki Kirisu immediately asked in confusion.
"I have a contract with a certain Devil friend. The ability I gained from that contract requires lifespan to use, so I need to absorb the lifespans of those death row inmates."
Kotone Asaba said, "In essence, it’s equivalent to carrying out their death sentences. It just depends on whether you’re willing to allow it."
Although from a legal standpoint, this kind of behavior definitely was not permitted, in a world overrun by Devils, strength still often ruled above all else.
For example, Makima directly used death row inmates to activate a Devil’s power, and who dared to criticize her for it?
Kotone Asaba had not directly pressured the Japanese government with force. He had chosen to discuss it properly first, which was already quite considerate. Otherwise, he could completely force the Japanese government with violence.
