He is a pure-blooded dragon in the miniature garden.

Chapter 120 is confirmed; preparations are underway for the final assault.
Near the Butterfly Mansion, in a mansion controlled by the Ubuyashiki clan.

Inside the courtyard, the leader of the Demon Slayer Corps had been almost completely assembled.

A tall, blind monk, wandering in the dark on the rocky islet, mourning.

The Wind Pillar, Shinazugawa Yami, with his white, spiky hair and face covered in knife scars.

The sound pillar with a white cloth wrapped around his head and eye makeup, is Yuzui Tengen.

Obanai Iguro, the Serpent Pillar, with short black hair and bandages wrapped around his mouth.

And then there's Giyu Tomioka, the Water Pillar who recently became a Water Pillar, with long black hair, wearing a haori with different patterns on the left and right sides, and is a man of few words.

Including the Flower Pillar, Kanae Butterfly, and the Flame Pillar, Kyojuro Rengoku, who haven't arrived yet.

Almost all of the Demon Slayer Corps Pillars were gathered in this small courtyard.

Kagaya Ubuyashiki had not yet arrived. The Pillars, who were usually strolling around the island nation and rarely saw each other, were chatting idly.

"Sound pillar," Yu Yuantian said, arms crossed over his chest.

"Has everyone read the letter our lord wrote to us?"

"Wait three more days. If that deity does not return in three days, then launch a full-scale attack on Edo."

"Perhaps we can bring a glorious end to this war between humans and ghosts that has lasted for thousands of years."

"I can't believe it," said Yoshiyuki Tomioka, who was standing next to him, his voice tinged with indifference.

"It's possible that they will suffer a spectacular total defeat."

Upon hearing this, the Pillars, who were about to speak, were suddenly speechless, looking as if they had choked on their words.

Even Uzui Tengen, who was the first to speak, looked somewhat embarrassed.

He just wanted to say something in advance to boost morale, but after Giyu Tomioka did this, morale is probably going to drop quite a bit.

However, this is indeed the truth. Even with the potion formula left by Su Nian, a potion was made that could truly activate the power of the Breathing Technique, causing the Pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps to experience a surge in strength.

Each of them is now confident enough to single-handedly defeat a former Upper Moon demon, and some are even as confident as Yoriichi Tsugikuni.

While he may not be as strong as Yoriichi Tsugikuni, the strongest swordsman of the Sengoku period, the gap has narrowed considerably.

However, they were not confident in the face of Muzan Kibutsuji, who had truly become the ultimate life form, and the Upper Moons who were not afraid of sunlight.

Their growing strength does not mean that their enemies have become weaker.

So Giyu Tomioka wasn't wrong, but could you please not be so blunt?

Uzui Tengen looked at Tomioka Giyuu with a somewhat awkward expression. He finally understood why there had been rumors that this Water Pillar was difficult to get along with.

That's some serious sarcasm.

The scene fell silent for a minute or two after Yoshiyuki Tomioka's venomous words.

Uzui Tengen then spoke again.

"So when exactly will that deity return?"

At this moment, Shinazugawa Mimi, who was standing next to him, curled his lip and said.

"I admit that the deity has been a great help to us, but surely we don't have to rely on them for the final charge?"

What if the other person really comes back late?

As the eldest, Yanzhu Beimingyu Xingming put his hands together in prayer.

“Amitabha, I think we should wait a bit longer. We don’t know much about the Twelve Demon Moons yet, let alone Muzan Kibutsuji. We should be more cautious at this time.”

"We should confirm this when His Majesty the God returns."

At this moment, Obanai Iguro, the Serpent Pillar who was perched on the tree, looked down at the group and said.

So, all we can do now is wait?

"No, we still need to see when the Flame Pillar brings the successor of the Breath of the Sun."

Uzui Tengen picked at his ear with his little finger.

"But in any case, our time is running out."

At that moment, two little girls with white hair came out of the house.

"Our lord has arrived!"

Upon hearing this, the five pillars immediately stopped chatting, knelt on one knee, and respectfully looked at the Japanese-style hall opposite them.

At this moment, Kagaya Ubuyashiki coughed as he walked out from inside, went to the corridor, knelt down, and asked the two girls.

"Is everyone here?"

“Father, everyone is here except for the Flame Pillar and Flower Pillar who have not yet arrived.”

"I see. The Flame Pillar is almost here, and the Flower Pillar has returned with His Majesty."

Kagaya Ubuyashiki coughed and said.

Upon hearing this, the pillars present all breathed a sigh of relief; it was good that they were back.

Although they were very confident in their current strength, they ultimately lacked confidence in the face of the unknown Demon King and the Twelve Demon Moons.

They did fight the red and blue oni who were unafraid of sunlight, but the effectiveness of the Nichirin Blade was greatly reduced, and it was no longer able to kill them completely.

Only members of the Demon Slayer Corps who have fully activated the potential of breathing techniques and can utilize 'ki' can truly kill them.

Moreover, ordinary red oni are strong enough to rival the pillars, while blue oni, although not as regenerative, are no less troublesome; they are too agile.

Not to mention the many other demons with blood demon magic who are no less powerful than the Blue Demon and the Red Demon.

If Su Nian hadn't helped them activate the true power of the breathing technique, they would probably have been wiped out long ago.

If even the lowest-level demons are like this, these Pillars can't even imagine how powerful the Twelve Demon Moons and Muzan Kibutsuji would be.

However, they simply don't have enough time. If they continue to wait, the scale of the Medicine King Eternal Paradise Cult established by Muzan Kibutsuji will expand.

The number of demons under Muzan Kibutsuji's command will continue to increase, at which point they will have no chance of killing Muzan Kibutsuji.

The demons under his command were more than enough to easily wear down the Pillars and members of the Demon Slayer Corps.

Without the help of Su Nian, a deity of unknown origin, they truly wouldn't know how to defeat these evil spirits.

The desperate reality left these pillars with no choice but to place their hopes on Su Nian.

At this moment, upon hearing the good news, Giyu Tomioka could not contain his excitement and couldn't help but ask.

"My lord, when will that deity come to find us?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Yuantian and the others were completely dumbfounded. What did that mean? Sending a being like a god to find them? Were they even worthy?
That was a true deity walking among mortals.

If you can't speak, please stop, okay? Water Pillar Giyu Tomioka!
In an instant, all the pillars couldn't help but think to themselves, "If our lord weren't still here, even we would be verbally attacking Giyu Tomioka right now."
At this moment, Kagaya Ubuyashiki coughed twice, but then laughed.

"Alright, Giyu, let's wait until the Flame Pillar returns and then go to the Butterfly Mansion to visit the God."

He understood Giyu Tomioka and knew that the other man was just bad at talking and would often say inappropriate things, but he had a good heart.

Moreover, he had talked with Su Nian and knew that Su Nian was not the kind of petty person.

Sending Su Nian to find them was... somewhat disrespectful to the gods.

Even having Su Nian live in the Butterfly House carries a somewhat sacrilegious connotation.

The Ubuyashiki family has a long history of intermarriage with Shinto families, so they are naturally familiar with the various rituals of serving the gods. However, it seems that Su Nian is a god from the other side of the sea, which is why he did not act rashly.

Just then, a logistics staff member ran quickly from around the corner and shouted.

"My lord, Lord Rengoku Kyojuro, the Flame Pillar, has arrived with an unfamiliar lord."

Not long after, Kagaya Ubuyashiki led the six Pillars and Tanjuro Kamado to the Butterfly Mansion.

As soon as they entered the Butterfly Mansion, they saw Su Nian holding Kurihara Kanae and teasing a group of little girls, with Kocho Kanae and Kocho Shinobu serving him on either side.

Of course, it's less about serving and more about teasing the adorable lolis in the Butterfly Mansion.

The Butterfly Mansion serves as a hospital for treating injured members of the Demon Slayer Corps. The pharmacy is staffed by quite a few lovely girls who also want to contribute to the Demon Slayer Corps.

At this moment, Su Nian also noticed that someone was coming, so she gently put the chestnut flower and Kanao down from her arms and said to the Kanao.

"Alright, Kanao, go play with them. We have something to talk about."

Kanao nodded and obediently followed Kanzaki Aoi to another room.

Meanwhile, Kanae Butterfly, who was to Su Nian's right, stood up, bowed to Kagaya Ubuyashiki and the Pillars, and said elegantly.

Greetings, everyone.

Only then did the Pillars see with their own eyes the young man with black hair and eyes, sitting between Shinobu and Kanae, who had helped them so much, and with a gentle expression.

At first glance, they really couldn't see anything special about Su Nian.

I just felt that the other person was very gentle and handsome, and seemed to be no different from others.

But upon closer inspection, one discovers that the other person possesses a sense of detachment from worldly affairs, as if they are out of place in this world and have no connection with it whatsoever. Even their gentleness is a subtle feeling that seems close but is actually cold.

Moreover, for some reason, they found that they couldn't seem to remember what Su Nian looked like. No matter how good their memory was, after looking away and trying to recall carefully, all that remained was a blur.

At this moment, Su Nian seemed to notice their gaze and tilted her head, wondering what they meant by looking at each other and then stopping.
"What's wrong? Is there something strange on my face?"

"No, it's nothing."

All the pillars spoke in unison, except for the Water Pillar, Giyu Tomioka, who had been warned by Tenyu Suigen that keeping quiet was the best way to avoid offending the gods.

Su Nian seemed to understand something; it was probably one of the characteristics of gods: mortals should not look directly at gods.

However, things like bursting a mortal's head are a bit too bloody and cruel, too inhumane, and not sophisticated enough.

Therefore, the universal approach of sandbox gardening is to create a sense of ambiguity, giving people a strange feeling of being able to see clearly but not remember.

He had only recently become a god and was not yet accustomed to this characteristic. Besides, this characteristic was usually only good for fooling mortals, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

As for an explanation, he was too lazy to bother.

As for the Kanae and Kocho sisters, they are both their own shrine maidens, so they are naturally not affected by this characteristic.

How could a priestess not know the appearance of the gods?
At this moment, Kagaya Ubuyashiki, who was standing next to him, laughed.

"Your Majesty, I am truly sorry to have disturbed you."

"Ignoring it is simply to put the history of this world on the right track."

Su Nian shook her head and glanced indifferently at Kagaya Ubuyashiki.

"You look a bit pale. You probably don't have many days left to live."

Kagaya Ubuyashiki sighed, forced himself to sit down in front of Su Nian, and said.

"I learned from His Majesty a few days ago that Muzan Kibutsuji had overcome sunlight and become the ultimate life form, and that's how it is."

Upon hearing this, Rengoku Kyojuro and the other Pillars' expressions changed instantly, and they asked.

"Your Majesty, is there any hope of curing the curse upon our lord?"

All eyes were on Su Nian, for as the leader of the Demon Slayer Corps, Kagaya Ubuyashiki was the true core of the Demon Slayer Corps.

Without his management, which allowed the Demon Slayer Corps members to operate without any worries and recklessly wield their blades against demons, the Demon Slayer Corps would probably have disbanded long ago.

"It's a small matter. You were just implicated by Muzan Kibutsuji. As Muzan Kibutsuji's strength increases, the curse on you also intensifies."

"Everything can be resolved as long as we kill Muzan Kibutsuji."

Upon hearing this, everyone was somewhat surprised, not expecting that the final outcome would still fall on the one who killed Muzan Kibutsuji.

It was as if everything would be resolved once he died.

Upon realizing this, everyone instinctively gripped their Nichirin Blades tighter.

At this moment, under everyone's expectant gaze, Kagaya Ubuyashiki coughed and asked very solemnly.

"Ahem... Your Majesty, what are our chances of success if we were to assassinate Muzan Kibutsuji now?"

Upon hearing this, Su Nian glanced at the pillars present and said with a playful expression.

"If the seven of you were to take on Muzan Kibutsuji alone, you could all perish together."

The implication is that there is a chance of success in assassinating Muzan Kibutsuji, but the cost would be severe, and the other Twelve Demon Moons and other evil spirits would have to be eliminated.

Of course, Hanazono Kocho wasn't among these seven people. She's now Su Nian's person, so Su Nian certainly wouldn't let her take any risks.

The person who replaced her was Tanjuro Kamado, the father of the original protagonist Tanjiro Kamado and the inheritor of the Sun Breathing technique.

The current Muzan Kibutsuji possesses five brains, seven hearts, five heads, and fourteen arms. To defeat him, at least seven Pillar-level beings capable of unleashing the true power of his Breathing Techniques would be needed.

This was the result of Su Nian's manipulation and leniency. Unless Yoriichi Tsugikuni were alive, even the seventy Pillars combined might not have achieved any significant results.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Su Nian's words.

Even if it means mutual destruction, as long as there is hope of victory, they have long since disregarded their own lives in order to deal with Muzan Kibutsuji.

If sacrificing their mutilated bodies could kill Muzan Kibutsuji, they would be more than willing.

This is the best news they've heard so far.
