Pain... piercing pain... the heart felt like it was being gouged by a sword, the pain caused Kibutsuji Muzan to kneel on the ground, "Hiss... hiss..." inhaling continuously....
He groaned in agony, his body slumping over, curling up in a bow shape...
Nakime stopped playing, beside her Kokushibo was practicing swordsmanship, honing his skills day in and day out. The "Void Cry God Departure" in his hand suddenly retracted, reflecting the moonlight, startling him, and a faint moon blade flashed out, in the blink of an eye slicing off a corner of the floor...
"Crack~" The wooden floor fell into the void, as Nakime's slender fingers lightly plucked the strings, restoring it to its original state... This female demon with her hair covering her eyes, always concealing her true face, felt the ghost blood belonging to Kibutsuji Muzan within her boiling and vibrating, she softly called: "Lord Muzan."
At the headquarters of the Ten Thousand Worlds Bliss Church, wearing the attire of a founder and indulging behind curtains, Tong Mo, along with Gyutaro from the Red Light District and his sister Daki, as well as countless evil ghosts transformed either by Muzan or the Upper Moon, all, be they feasting on blood or hiding from sunlight, stopped their actions simultaneously, as if prearranged...
Touching their chests, to the place where their heart was, also the place Muzan's ghost blood resided, they were shocked to find... an emotion known as "fear" and "panic" suddenly surfaced, then expanded, growing wildly, instantly transforming into waves that flooded and submerged them...
Everything seemed to point to Kibutsuji Muzan, in a daze, the demons realized... "That man is afraid!"
"My Lord." His heart surged like tides, but Kokushibo forcibly suppressed it with his strong willpower...
The man's waist bore the "Void Cry God Departure", clad in a purple kimono with snake patterns intertwined with black spots, wearing black hakama underneath, the geta on his feet moved silently, instantly appearing beside Kibutsuji Muzan, supporting him by the arm, as he looked at him once more... the former unbothered lord who was indifferent to everything, commanding the life and death of demons, now had an uncharacteristically pale face, clutching him tightly...
Most of his body leaned on him, with a ferocious expression, he said: "It's Kamado Eiichiro!"
Muzan groaned in pain: "He must have done something... I can feel it, he is working against me in the shadows!"
A head of fiery red hair swayed in the wind... Kokushibo's six eyes suddenly focused, recalling the moment through the demon's eye that day with the young man, after the battle on the Infinity Train, when they had looked at each other across space... "Clang~" The sword was drawn, flashing with a gleaming cold light....
Kokushibo stepped forward steadily, shielding Muzan behind him, gazing ahead: "My Lord, do not worry. What has been done, we only need ask him to find out!"
[Transparent Realm]... activate!
Swish!
Perception broke through physiological limits, as mental power touched a philosophical level... fused with Kokushibo's, or rather Tsugikuni Yoriichi's lifetime understanding and mental power, seeing through "eye power", knowing all!
In front of the empty wooden floor, a wisp of mist emerged out of nowhere... the mist outlined a youthful figure, whose eyes "poof" ignited "two suns", it was... borrowing [Curse] to trace the [Line of Cause and Effect], using Ubuyashiki Kagaya as a medium, to split a trace of consciousness, outlining a consciousness body, injecting into the Infinity Castle, Roy's consciousness avatar!
"Kamado Eiichiro, how did you appear here?!" Muzan, through contact with Kokushibo's body, shared the [Transparent World], the moment he discovered Roy's figure, his sharp teeth almost gnawed to pieces, the veins on his forehead bulged as if a dragon turned over, one by one protruding fiercely, flinging out a "Sting Whip"!
[Sting Whip]: A bone thorn whip formed by extending both arms, integrated offensive and defensive, agile, and as hard as rock.
Its attack range is extremely wide, covering a ten-meter radius, and the spikes on the whip can change position and shape at Muzan's will. The swinging speed is extremely fast,
Even Gyomei Himejima, who had opened the Transparent World, in the original work could not react, and in their prime, it gave Tsugikuni Yoriichi chills down his spine. It has incredibly strong destructive power, its direct hit can destroy half of a house. Moreover, the sting whip carries Muzan's blood, according to Muzan's will, its cells will not turn the target into a demon, but totally destroy the target's cells, needing only one hit to kill.
What is most despairing is, the sting whip also bears countless "mouths", which when opened and closed, can generate a huge suction force, even capable of creating vortices in the air, delaying the enemy's movements, tearing everything around apart, drastically compressing the opponent's space to execute sword techniques!
"Whoosh——" The sting whip, with Muzan's terrified and angry strike, howled, the countless small mouths on it opened wide, sucking towards Roy... below, a flash of sword light even faster than the sting whip, at the moment it flashed, it unleashed hundreds of moon blades, breaking space's constraints, collaborating with the sting whip to create a vortex, pinning Roy in place, slashing towards him...
The young man with fiery red hair was blown back and suspended by the wind from the sword and whip shadow, savoring the current state, pondering deeply.
[Nature] [Repercussion] [Cause and Effect] [Rotation]... "Cause and Effect... Cause and Effect... with cause there is an effect....."
"Puff~" as several "Sun Swords" within Ubuyashiki Kagaya's body incinerated the curse, Roy's consciousness immersed, traveling inadvertently along the line of cause and effect, embarked on a nebulous journey, looking back, a faint understanding surfaced in his heart, though not clear, holding onto this faint feeling, opening his hand, he conjured Shallow Strike — [Eclipse],
He softly murmured: "Liberate."
"Everything in the universe, reduced to ashes. The sun rises in the east."
Suddenly... a red sun leapt from Roy's sword tip, as the young man gracefully lifted the Eclipse, slowly rising...
