Chapter 76 - Return

"Calm down, Tanjiro," Lexon said, looking at him flatly.

"Mmph, mmph," at his side, Nezuko, a little frightened to see her brother's eyes turn red, tugged at his sleeve.

"Lexon... Nezuko..." Persuaded by his good friend and his sister, Tanjiro gradually regained his senses, merely glaring at Muzan Kibutsuji with hatred.

Muzan Kibutsuji's miserable state at this moment did not arouse the slightest bit of pity in Tanjiro's heart.

Because he knew just how selfish, how unreasonable this demon Muzan was.

He was a kind person who could sympathize with other demons for various reasons, but Muzan alone—Muzan Kibutsuji alone could not stir any sympathy or pity in him.

Muzan Kibutsuji was the root of all evil! The source of sin that had brought disaster to countless innocent humans for his own selfish desires! An absolute evil demon who trampled on the lives of others at will!

After hearing Tanjiro's hateful words, Kagaya had finally, completely believed Lexon's story.

Tanjiro had personally come into contact with Muzan, and because of his keen sense of smell, he knew Muzan's scent. It was highly unlikely he was mistaken.

Lexon's firm words and Tanjiro's reaction as proof allowed him to cast aside his doubts.

Although there were still many questions, he would ask them later.

Kagaya Ubuyashiki asked his wife, who was supporting him at his side, "Amane... what is Muzan Kibutsuji's condition now?"

"He's covered in wounds, most of his organs have been removed and have not recovered. He's covered in mud, sprawled on the ground, on the verge of death," Amane Ubuyashiki described in her husband's ear.

"Hahahahahahaha!" Kagaya Ubuyashiki appeared extremely, extremely happy and joyful at this moment. His mood was incomparably cheerful, and he burst into loud laughter.

Everyone was silent. The only sound in the entire courtyard was Kagaya Ubuyashiki's resounding laughter.

As he laughed, tears seemed to seep from the corners of his eyes. At the same time, it also triggered his illness, causing his laughter to turn into a violent cough.

"Master!"

Many worried shouts rang out.

Shinobu Kocho walked directly up to Kagaya Ubuyashiki, wanting to check on the Master's condition.

But Kagaya directly raised his hand slightly, signaling not to worry. He suppressed his cough and stopped laughing.

"Put him away, Lexon," Kagaya Ubuyashiki said.

[Demonization]

Blood Demon Art: Different World in a Pot.

[End Demonization]

The same ominous aura flashed past.

Muzan Kibutsuji's figure vanished.

"Lexon," Kagaya Ubuyashiki suddenly called his name.

"Hmm?" Lexon quietly looked at Kagaya.

Kagaya Ubuyashiki and his wife were seen slowly sitting down formally, then bowing their bodies, their palms pressed to the floor, their heads lowered.

They offered Lexon the highest form of respect, the dogeza.

"Master!!!" The various Hashira were very surprised.

"Please raise your heads," Lexon's straight-standing body did not change, his indifferent gaze falling on the Ubuyashiki couple.

"Thank you so much for ending the thousand-year curse of the Ubuyashiki family, for ending the fate of the Demon Slayer Corps, for no longer letting innocent people suffer and grieve because of evil demons, and for allowing all the swordsmen of the Demon Slayer Corps to rest in peace..." Kagaya did not move his body because of Lexon's words, but instead spoke words of gratitude in a heavy tone.

Vaguely, Lexon seemed to see countless swordsmen in Demon Slayer uniforms standing behind Kagaya Ubuyashiki.

"You're welcome," Lexon showed a smile.

"Thank you," all the kneeling Hashira also bowed their heads to Lexon. Even Obanai Iguro, who was the most displeased with Lexon, did so.

"That's about enough," Lexon's smile receded, and he put on a serious expression.

"Alright, alright," with Amane's help, Kagaya Ubuyashiki stood up again with some difficulty.

"Your health is declining by the day, Master," Lexon said to him.

"I know," Kagaya Ubuyashiki smiled. "It is enough that my mission is complete. Nothing else matters."

"You should live a little longer if you can. After all, you have so many people who care about you," Lexon's gaze swept back and forth over the various Hashira.

Kagaya Ubuyashiki also saw everyone looking at him with concern, and a gentle smile blossomed on his face. "Then I will live for a very long time."

"Then you must do your best, Master."

"By the way, Lexon, can you now tell us the specific details of what happened?"

Immediately after, Lexon explained everything that had happened to them in as much detail as possible. He demonstrated the three-piece set of the Mark, the Crimson Red Blade, and the Transparent World. He even played around with the breathing styles he had mastered, including Sun Breathing, revealing his absolute strength, and attributed all of his power improvement to his own excellent talent.

That's right, all abnormalities could be explained with "I'm special," "I'm a genius," "I'm awesome."

That was Lexon.

Two days later, Kagaya Ubuyashiki gathered all the members of the Demon Slayer Corps. Even former Hashira, personnel from the Swordsmith Village, cultivators, and logistics staff all came.

Then he had Lexon release Muzan.

He had everyone write their grudges, sorrows, and hatred on paper and gather them to stick on Muzan's body.

Finally, under the blazing sun at noon, Lexon took out his Nichirin Sword, circulated his Sun Breathing to bring forth scorching flames, and burned Muzan and all the papers to ash.

It symbolized that everything of the past had dissipated with Muzan's death.

One could remember, but one should not continue to be immersed in it, and thus begin a new life.

[Demon Slaying contribution has reached 100%]

[Hidden world quest "A World Without Demons" completed]

[Congratulations on obtaining "Control over a base in the Demon Slayer world"]

[Control over a base in the Demon Slayer world: The Demon Slayer world will no longer be used as a story world and will become the exclusive base of the Reincarnator "Lexon." Reward points can be consumed to bring out story characters from the Demon Slayer world (they can only be active within the Main God Space, and as vassals of the Reincarnator, they will die along with the Reincarnator).

The time node will no longer change. The Reincarnator can freely choose to freeze or let the time of this world flow.]

The cold, mechanical voice of the Main God appeared.

The death of Muzan Kibutsuji also meant the completion of Lexon's hidden world quest.

It meant that he had completely cleared the world of Demon Slayer.

"Are you leaving?" Shinobu Kocho asked, looking at Lexon.

"Yes," Lexon replied.

The news that he was leaving for an unknown place and might not return had already been spread. He had also already said goodbye to Urokodaki Sakonji, Giyu Tomioka, Tanjiro, Nezuko, Tamayo, Yushiro, Inosuke, and others he had contact with. Although they were basically very reluctant, there was nothing they could do in the face of Lexon's determination.

The demonized Youmei had been handed over to that Rara. Rara also did not stay in this world any longer and returned to the Main God Space with Youmei.

"Thank you for helping me get my revenge," Shinobu said gratefully to Lexon.

The Upper Rank Two, Doma, the demon who had killed her sister, had died at Lexon's hands. The other had fulfilled her wish for revenge, which made her feel very grateful.

And he had also completed the mission of the Demon Slayer Corps. No more innocent people would suffer because of evil demons...

"Live a good life," Lexon said to her flatly.

The Demon Slayer Corps had now been disbanded. They no longer had to serve as demon-slaying swordsmen and would live good lives in the future with the financial support of the Ubuyashiki family.

"I'm not angry anymore, Lexon," before Lexon turned around, Shinobu said to him, revealing a happy smile without any concealment.

This was Shinobu Kocho's own, most heartfelt smile.

"That's good," Lexon smiled back at her.

He turned around and recited in his heart.

[Return]

Lexon's figure abruptly turned into a white light and vanished.

Watching Lexon's dissipating figure, Shinobu's smile froze. Her heart suddenly tightened, her pretty brows furrowed, and she placed her crossed hands over her chest.

Her cherry-pink lips moved, slightly parting.

So please don't go.

These words were ultimately never spoken.
