I'll kill you after I finish this game!

The situation on site can only be described as very pessimistic, unlike the original work where the Ubuyashiki base was openly and legitimately located.

What came into the view of Lei Zhe and his two companions was a landscape filled with wounded soldiers missing limbs, and some were even carrying the bodies of their dead teammates.

"Ah...I...I don't want to...become...a ghost, kill...me!"

Several other members were trapped on makeshift bed frames, wailing and moaning. Their arms or shoulders bore gruesome scratches and huge bite marks, and their skin was constantly developing malignant tumors.

Some Demon Slayer Corps members, who hated demons and had a strong sense of honor, made a heartbreaking plea to the Butterfly Mansion female members who were treating them, with ferocious expressions, to end their lives.

These girls, who were busy running around administering medication to suppress the illnesses in the patients, also constantly comforted them, cared for them, and gave them injections.

However, these drugs can only alleviate the progression of their disease. Now, the ghosts outside are just like zombies, with extremely strong infectious power.

Even if they don't eat you, if you get injured, the physical wounds will gradually become chronic and turn you into a ghost.

Most of the members of the Demon Slayer Corps are people whose families were destroyed by demons. Some of them hate demons and have a strong sense of justice, so they naturally don't want to become demons themselves.

Because once they become evil spirits, they lose their humanity and the precious memories they had as humans, ultimately transforming into a newborn evil spirit that thirsts for flesh and blood.

For those Demon Slayer Corps members who exist for revenge, this was worse than killing them.

Chapter 68 Kagaya Ubuyashiki: The hopeless future has changed!

"Mr. Lei Zhe, could your healing abilities...?"

Tanjiro couldn't bear to look at his fellow team members who were about to fall ill, and looked nervously at Reiji, who possessed that warm power.

His expression seemed to suggest that he was hoping that Lei Zhe could once again bring a precious glimmer of hope amidst endless despair.

Tanjiro knew his behavior was somewhat rude, but he was the kind of person who would kneel down for the sake of someone he cared about.

Even if his rude and excessive behavior would make Mr. Raize dislike him, Tanjiro would grit his teeth and do it as long as it could prevent a tragedy from happening.

Raijiro knew what kind of personality this boy had, and he couldn't possibly dislike someone like Tanjiro.

Raiji expressed his respect and understanding for the Demon Slayer Corps' selfless act of slaying man-eating demons and the sacrifices they had made over the past century.

"Don't worry, there's still hope."

Lei Zhe smiled faintly and nodded, waving his hand at the members who were about to fall ill, showering them with golden light.

Sweating profusely, with black hair and purple bangs at the ends, Shinobu Kocho, wearing a butterfly headdress, arrived carrying the newly concocted medicine and was met with a shocking scene.

"Ugh..."

All the Demon Slayer Corps members, still lying on makeshift beds and stretchers on the ground, their bodies enveloped in a golden light, their brows furrowed slightly, and their cries were muffled groans as their physical pain gradually subsided.

Under the stunned and shocked gazes of the female members of the Butterfly Mansion and the Hidden members, the toxic tumors on the wounded, shrouded in golden light, disappeared at a visible speed.

Strands of dark, malevolent mist continuously emerged from the infected wounds of the injured, eventually being evaporated by the golden light enveloping their bodies.

This wasn't what shocked them the most. What truly shocked Rengoku Kyojuro and Urokodaki was that the injuries on those members who were missing limbs and were on the verge of death were regenerating and healing themselves at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The arms, hands, thighs, and feet all healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

If they hadn't sensed no ghostly aura from their teammates, they would have instinctively assumed that the other person had become a ghost.

In their minds, only those despicable ghosts possessed such inhuman self-healing abilities.

"This...this...Young friend Lei Zhe, you and I...that!"

The old swordsman Urokodaki was so surprised and overjoyed by this scene that he was speechless and couldn't utter a complete sentence to Raiji.

Tanjiro and Kyojuro Rengoku also showed surprised smiles, gaining a new understanding of Reiji's warm and healing power.

It's unbelievable that the other party's healing power can even heal injuries like missing limbs.

"What on earth is going on... Mr. Purgatory!?"

Shinobu Kocho recovered her senses and immediately rushed to the side of the first member whose severed limb had regenerated. She carefully examined the other person's incredibly good physical condition and exclaimed in disbelief. But just as she was about to go to see another wounded soldier, she saw Kyojuro Rengoku at the entrance.

After some pleasantries, everyone here got to know Lei Zhe and his group, thanks to Lei Zhe's previous generous treatment of them.

The Demon Slayer Corps members didn't suspect much, and their surprised smiles, reflecting the miraculous scene at the scene, revealed that many of the injured were friends of others.

That alone is enough to earn him respect.

"pat-"

As the intricate underground space opened, a wooden door slowly opened, and surrounded by swordsmen of the Demon Slayer Corps' Pillar level, Raize finally arrived at his destination.

Under Shinobu's frequent and slightly burning gaze, Raize and the others were finally about to successfully meet the other Pillars and their surviving Master.

After being notified, the residents gathered together, and Lei Zhe saw the figures.

With a purple pattern painted on his forehead, the Sound Pillar Uzui Tengen was slightly taller than the others, but his left arm was missing.

It looks like it was lost because of the battle.

With a white spiky head, three long scars on his face, and his body covered in wounds, the Wind Pillar Sanemi Shinazugawa, who had lost his right leg and replaced it with a wooden prosthetic, looked at Raize with extremely wary eyes.

There was also a Stone Pillar named Gyomei Himejima who was 'watching' Reiji and the others from a special perspective. He had Buddhist prayer beads around his neck and his hands were clasped together, constantly muttering something. Another Water Pillar named Giyu Tomioka, who had social anxiety symptoms and a detached expression, was standing some distance away from the others.

The expressionless boy with long black hair and mint green tips, the Mist Pillar Muichiro Tokito, possesses an ethereal aura like a rosy cloud.

Looking curiously at the three of them, Kanroji Mitsuri, the Love Pillar, had a pair of large, light green eyes, a mole under each eye, three long, cherry-pink braids, and grass-green ends.

She has heterochromatic eyes, one green and one gold, her mouth is wrapped in bandages, and she has long black hair like seaweed.

Wearing a black and white striped haori, with a white snake coiled around her neck constantly flicking its tongue, she warily eyed Reiji's snake pillar, Obanai Iguro.

To put it simply, these pillars were both curious and wary of Rai Zhe, and a very few even harbored a hostility that was ready to strike.

As people who fought desperately in a post-apocalyptic world, their current strength far surpasses that of the original characters, and one can vaguely sense the strange aura emanating from Raiji.

They could definitely sense the powerful aura of the two women behind them, but although Lei Zhe could see them, he couldn't perceive anything about them.

If they hadn't looked over there, they wouldn't have known there was someone standing there, and it was precisely this strangeness that made them wary.

In their understanding, the reason they can't perceive it isn't because the other party is too weak, but because the gap is so large that they simply can't detect it!

The strongest being here, Gyomei Himejima, felt it most directly. In his 'eyes,' the auras of Genova and Irina Shidou, who stood like guards behind Reiji, were dozens of times stronger than theirs.

That holy power, which was several levels higher than battle qi, truly shocked him.

With just these two people, if they were hostile, they could easily tear this place apart.

So, the two people who could sense Lei Zhe were already this strong; those who couldn't sense him were probably even more outrageous.

"Namo Amitabha Buddha, the Central Plains are indeed a vast and resource-rich land, and its people are incredibly powerful. Even girls can be trained to be so strong—"

"Ah, how pitiful!"

Muttering to himself, the giant man was also in tears, which puzzled Genovya and Irina, who were sensing his presence.

What's going on? It's understandable that people here are wary of the environment, but why is this blind, big guy crying for no reason? He's such a weirdo.

"Our lord has arrived!"

Upon arriving here, they were greeted with various stares from the other pillars. Before long, two little girls dressed in kimonos, resembling Japanese dolls, appeared at the corner of the cave entrance, pushing a man in a wooden wheelchair whose body was wrapped in bandages.

The other Pillar-level swordsmen, including Urokodaki and Tanjiro, immediately knelt on the ground, while only Reiji and Genovya remained standing.

Both leaders were observing each other.

In Rezer's view, the man was quite thin. Although he was wearing a formal and gorgeous aristocratic robe, he was sitting in a wheelchair and looked like a flickering flame that could be extinguished at any moment.

Under the slightly furrowed brows of Genovia and Irina's gaze, the man whom the Demon Slayer Corps called their Master had a face that looked like it was ulcerated, with eerie purple veins running down it.

His dark gray eyes were completely unable to see, and his trembling face looked as if he were enduring immense pain.

"What a vicious bloodline curse..."

Genovia looked at the man. As the Holy Sword of the Church, she naturally had relevant knowledge and immediately determined that the man was cursed. She frowned and couldn't help but mutter.

The other pillars, upon hearing Genovya's voice, couldn't help but glance at the woman in surprise.

This woman can tell what's wrong with her lord just by looking at him...

"Hey woman, how do you know our lord is under a curse?"

Sanemi Shinazugawa was the most temperamental and vigilant person here. Upon hearing that this unfamiliar woman had immediately revealed his lord's situation, he placed his hand on the hilt of his Nichirin sword and questioned her with great caution.

Genovia and Irina, however, responded to Sanemi Shinazugawa's wariness and poised hostility with looks of utter disbelief, prompting the Wind Pillar to erupt on the spot. Irina pointed at Kagaya Ubuyashiki speechlessly and said:

"The curse that runs deep in his bones is almost overflowing from his body. You don't think your lord is suffering from an illness, do you?"

After Irina finished speaking, Genovya looked at Kagaya Ubuyashiki with a hint of pity in her eyes, and then said something that really stung the Demon Slayer Corps members:

"Moreover, the type of this curse clearly aims to kill your lord and all those related to him by blood. Did your lord's ancestors offend any vicious scumbags that would cast such a cruel curse on him?"

Upon hearing this, all the Demon Slayer Corps members fell into a deathly silence, their faces filled with dark shadows. Most of the Pillars knew what was going on with their lord.

When Genovia and Irina mentioned it, everyone immediately thought of that damned Muzan.

"...You two ladies have excellent taste."

Her voice was somewhat weak and hoarse, but it contained a subtle sense of relief.

"A monster appeared among my ancestors, causing all the great calamities we face today. This is the suffering I must endure. I had already lost all hope for the future, but..."

"Did you use your ability to foresee the future to see a changed future?"

Lei Zhe smiled faintly as he continued Kagaya Ubuyashiki's words. With Yu's words of wisdom, he could naturally sense some of the causal lines of fate, but he couldn't interfere as easily as Yu.

His ability to create a hierarchy can indeed interfere with causality.

The precognitive ability of the lord before them is actually a power unique to their clan, a power that emerged after Muzan became a demon.

The Ubuyashiki family, through their ability to "foresee the future," accumulated a vast fortune for the Demon Slayer Corps and helped them survive numerous crises of annihilation.

In the original manga, the final battle in the Infinity Castle was initiated by Kagaya Ubuyashiki, the leader of the Demon Slayer Corps.

He joined forces with Tamayo to fight against Muzan Kibutsuji, using his "foresight" to predict Muzan's next move.

However, the time for "predicting the future" is limited, and Kagaya Ubuyashiki can only freeze the predicted result at the beginning of the final battle in the Infinite Castle.

After that, it was his son, who also possessed the ability to foresee the future, Ubuyashiki Teriyasu, who took command and launched the final battle.

“Sir, you are indeed very amazing. Because of your arrival, I have seen that all the dark tragedies will usher in the dawn.”

"I sincerely welcome, no, I thank you for coming!"

Kagaya Ubuyashiki revealed a joyful smile. Although his face was ulcerated and disfigured, Raize could still see that the gentle and refined soul beneath that ugly exterior was genuinely rejoicing over something.
