Why didn't they start the teleportation earlier?
On the other side, Musashi felt extremely anxious as he watched Tamayo and Muzan's confrontation begin, but there was nothing he could do about it. The initiative for teleportation lay with Tamayo.
Because Musashi's current perspective was provided by Yushiro, he could even feel Yushiro's body trembling.
The next instant, in Musashi's line of sight, Muzan's hand grabbed Tamayo's head, his thumb directly piercing her right eye.
"I said, aren't you too persistent, Tamayo! How dare you turn around and resent me?!
Who killed your husband and son? Was it me?
No! It wasn't me, nor anyone else, but you yourself! You ate them!!"
Muzan held Tamayo's head with one hand, speaking to her mockingly.
The medicine absorbed into his body could not be removed, but Muzan did not pay too much attention to it, and began to decompose the medicine in his body. At present, he did not feel too much discomfort.
Muzan's words caused the accumulated grievances and anger in Tamayo's heart to completely erupt at this moment. Her emotions had not been so agitated since the night hundreds of years ago when Yoriichi almost killed Muzan.
Tears instantly gushed out of her eyes, and the scene of her husband and son's tragic deaths reappeared in her mind. The murderer who killed them was herself, after she was turned into a demon by Muzan.
"If I had known beforehand that things would turn out this way, I would not have agreed to become a demon!! The reason I didn't want to die from illness was to witness my children grow up with my own eyes!!"
The gentleness she usually showed to almost everyone disappeared, and at this moment, only resentment remained in Tamayo's heart. She roared at Muzan with all her might.
Hundreds of years ago, she was an ordinary person suffering from an incurable disease. In order to see her children grow up, she did everything she could to find a cure, but in the end, she still could not change the outcome.
In this situation, Tamayo met Muzan, was deceived by him into becoming a demon, and then, having lost her sanity, she ate her husband and son under the immense temptation of blood relatives to a demon.
After regaining her sanity, Tamayo almost went mad recalling her actions. The burning regret tormented her heart day and night, yet driven by the demon's instinct, she still had to kill people. But she also kept looking for a way to break free from Muzan's control and escape the demon's instincts, until Muzan encountered Yoriichi, which allowed her to escape.
Muzan's sin is far more than just killing people; turning humans into demons and making them eat their own family members out of demon instinct—this is his deepest sin.
The Hand Demon during the Final Selection, Rui from Mount Natagumo, and Tamayo, are all people who have endured such pain.
If one only becomes lucid once during a deathbed flashback, it's fine, as the pain only appears at the moment before death. But if one awakens early and recalls their past actions, the heart-wrenching pain will accompany them day and night.
"But you also ate many people after that. Could all of that have been my illusion?
However, in my opinion, you ate with quite a relish."
Muzan pulled Tamayo's head close to him, mocking her.
"That's right, in my despair, I did kill many people! To atone for the sins I committed back then... I will perish here with you!!"
Tamayo shouted loudly at Muzan, her Blood Demon Art continuously active, affecting Muzan and Nakime's perception.
Upon hearing Tamayo's words, Muzan scoffed.
"I commend you for daring to come to my stronghold alone, but your head doesn't seem to work well, or perhaps you are overly arrogant.
Do you think you can perish with me just by looking at these medicines? Don't be delusional, only you will perish here today.
And I will never die! I will become an eternal existence!"
Muzan said to Tamayo with a smile, then the hand gripping Tamayo's head gradually tightened.
The next moment, Tamayo's head was crushed by Muzan, and her flesh and blood splattered onto the floor.
"Stupid madwoman."
The thorn Blood Demon Art that had previously restricted Muzan's movements had been fully absorbed by him, and his movements were no longer restricted. A tentacle with a huge mouth grew from his body, and the huge mouth on the tentacle completely devoured Tamayo's body.
What Muzan couldn't quite understand was that Tamayo had strangely smiled at him before her death, but after completely devouring Tamayo, he no longer considered this problem, only assuming Tamayo was crazy, after all, her coming alone to seek revenge on him showed her abnormality.
Drip!
The sound of water dripping onto the floor echoed, and Yushiro's emotions could no longer be hidden. Tears streamed down his cheeks, dripping onto the floor of the Infinity Castle.
"Oh? So there's another rat?" Muzan turned his head to look in a direction next to Nakime.
The next instant, countless flesh seeds with special talismans appeared in the air.
Immediately after, a figure descended from among these flesh seeds.
Upon seeing this figure, Muzan's pupils sharply contracted, and his scars subtly ached.
He immediately tried to split his body, but then he found that he couldn't do it at all.
The previous medicine!!!
Muzan's original composure vanished in an instant, replaced by fear and panic.
"Nakime! Quickly teleport this guy out!!"
Making a quick decision, Muzan roared at Nakime, while also beginning to transmit messages to Akaza, Douma, and all the demons he had recently created, telling them to hurry over.
"Sun Breathing, Eighth Form: Scorching Sun, Clear Blue Sky!"
His Nichirin Sword unsheathed, Musashi, already poised, swung his blade towards Nakime, a circular slash emanating from him, instantly cutting off the lower half of her body.
Musashi intentionally avoided vital points and did not slash the biwa in Nakime's hand, proceeding according to the previous plan.
Flames scorched Nakime's body, making her extremely weak at this moment.
Just then, Yushiro appeared behind Nakime, taking control of her, using the weakening effect Musashi had inflicted.
"Muzan!!! You have committed the deepest sin in this world!!
It was you who snatched Miss Tamayo away from me before my very eyes!!
Kneel and repent with regret! I will throw you all to the surface now!!"
With his fingers plunged into Nakime's head, the furious Yushiro, tears streaming down his cheeks, roared at Muzan.
The entire Infinity Castle seemed to tremble at this moment due to Yushiro's rage.
Yushiro had entered with Tamayo. He witnessed everything that had happened before, but due to Tamayo's previous orders, he could only endure the grief and anger, waiting for the teleportation to complete.
