I'll kill you after I finish this game!

After fighting this guy, Raiji easily defeated him and copied Yoriichi's abilities.

After completing the copy, Raiji bid farewell to Yoriichi Tsugikuni. He had no intention of recruiting or reviving him, because Raiji knew that all Yoriichi sought was peace, and it would be pointless to say anything.

In this underworld, Reiji didn't find any gods; all the mechanisms and environments of hell were created by heaven and earth.

He did see quite a few little devils, like monsters, in hell, responsible for torturing the most wicked souls.

Rai Zhe grabbed a few kids and asked them questions before he learned that there really are no gods in the Demon Slayer world, and there is no Izanami, the mother goddess of the underworld, in the Netherworld.

Along with the ferryman who was originally responsible for ferrying souls across the Sanzu River, they were also human souls. They were unable to reincarnate in the underworld and stayed there for a long time, which turned them into this state.

That's how the saying goes: evil people need to be dealt with by other evil people.

Those evil spirits and little devils in the underworld who are responsible for tormenting others were once evil people. After falling into hell and never being reborn, they were tormented to the point of losing their original selves, and then they become the next little devils responsible for tormenting others.

Thus, there will never be a shortage of such beings in those hells.

Meanwhile, Razer's Valhalla has now expanded in scale with a large number of souls as its foundation, and he has replicated all the environments that exist in Hell.

Now, Muzan is the first to enjoy the renovated Demon Castle, while retaining his self-awareness, he is forever subjected to endless punishment.

Let's take one last look at Muzan. He has now been transported to the new world, his face pale and trembling, feeling the inescapable pain in his soul.

"How many more times... do I have to die...?"

At this moment, Muzan turned his head and noticed that there was a familiar person accompanying him.

She was a very beautiful woman, dressed in a deep purple kimono decorated with wavy pale purple branches and red flowers, with a wide beige sash around her waist.

After recalling his memories, Muzan recognized the woman as Tamayo, the one who had once escaped his control.

Muzan should have been furious to see her again, but seeing Tamayo made him feel comfortable and relieved for the first time ever.

As long as he doesn't see Yoriichi Tsugikuni, Muzan thinks it's not bad.

However, Muzan soon changed his mind, as he once again donned a Sengoku period kimono.

Looking at the familiar bamboo forest surrounding him, and the spotted swordsman he had "accidentally" met at the corner ahead, Muzan's heart and eyes were filled with profound despair.

"No...don't come over here!"

"Don't come near me..."

"Don't come any closer!!!"

Muzan let out a miserable and utterly desperate roar.

From this point on, Muzan will continue in this state in the Demon Castle's Pleasure House, unless Reize is destroyed; otherwise, this situation will continue until Eternal Calamity.

..........

Muzan is dead. He's already dead in the reality of Demon Slayer. Moreover, most powerful demons were either captured by the ship girls and used as test subjects, or they were directly killed by artillery fire.

With Muzan gone, the subsequent war to reclaim the country was completed after half a month, thanks to Raize's help.

But after the victory, no one had the heart to celebrate. This nationwide extermination operation had caused a massive reduction in Japan's population to the point of being critical.

It was only a half-step away from the true destruction of the country.

Their victory was a brutal one built on ruins. Looking at the desolate ruins where the demons were gone, all the survivors felt heavy-hearted.

Regarding this, Reiji didn't intend to help them selflessly. Helping them deal with Muzan and those demons was already the maximum support they could provide.

They need to figure out their own solutions for post-disaster reconstruction and population issues; the people here in Rezhe are not their caretakers.

As Raiji had predicted, Kagaya Ubuyashiki, one of the last remaining nobles in Japan, became the ruler of the country.

However, he, the person in power, is not happy at all because of the current situation across the country.

His greatest wish was not to be a ruler. His original plan was to spend the rest of his life with his wife and children after defeating Muzan.

After all, without the curse that bound him, and with precious ease and time, this was his greatest pursuit.

But the current situation simply does not allow him to do so; he is the only one in the entire country who is qualified to be in power.

As Kagaya Ubuyashiki watched Raiichi and his group pack up and leave, his emotions began to stir.

He made a decision that was complicated for him and surprising to Rezer.

"...You mean you want to include Japan in my hometown area!?"

Lei Zhe looked at the gentle and refined man in front of him with surprise, repeating the idea the man had proposed in a somewhat incredulous tone.

Kagaya Ubuyashiki surprised Raiji by proposing to him that he wanted to join the Central Plains Kingdom.

After all, he wasn't very interested in this neon world and was about to leave for a new world, but Kagaya Ubuyashiki's sudden performance really surprised Raiji.

After all, annexing one's own country into another is tantamount to destroying one's own country.

"Sir, your country has the phrase 'everything is in ruins and needs to be rebuilt,' but Japan right now is in ruins and has no chance of rebuilding whatsoever."

Kagaya Ubuyashiki said with a bitter expression, "Just looking at all the reports coming in from all over the country, I feel both headache and helplessness."

The population is on the verge of collapse, food supplies are almost depleted, and the land is contaminated by the blood of demons—everything is in dire straits.

Even if the demons are eliminated, their homes and environment are already riddled with holes. After Muzan evolved and mutated, the blood of the demons under his command could pollute the environment to the point that it was comparable to nuclear radiation.

The land and water sources are so polluted that they are practically unusable.

"Sir, we have no way to repay your kindness in helping us eliminate the evil spirit, and it would be extremely impolite to ask for your help again, but... I have no choice but to make this request..."

Looking at Rai Tetsuo in front of him, Kagaya Ubuyashiki's handsome face was filled with conflicting emotions of gratitude and shame.

Grateful for Reiji's selfless help, yet ashamed of his own troublesome benefactor persona, Ubuyashiki Kagaya felt utterly disgusted with himself.

But he could not watch the few remaining lives in the country slowly die.

The Lei Zhe forces before them, their benefactors, are the best choice to help the entire nation overcome this difficult time.

They had no choice but to beg the other party to save their lives.

Kagaya Ubuyashiki's own principles did not allow him to do such a thing, a behavior that even he himself despised.

But with the survival of the nation at stake, he had no choice but to do this; he couldn't let the remaining lives die.

Under immense pressure and the torment of his conscience, Kagaya Ubuyashiki bitterly brought up the matter to Raiji.

"To be honest, it really surprised me to hear this from you."

Looking at Kagaya Ubuyashiki in front of him, Raiji said with a sigh.

In exchange for Lei Zhe's help, which involved giving up territory across the country, it sounds like Lei Zhe got a great deal.

But putting aside whether Razer is interested or not, given the current mess that Japan is in, Razer won't get a single benefit from it.

He doesn't care about any territory in Japan. He's about to leave anyway, so what use is territory to him?

However, the fact that it could be of some help to his hometown in this world made Razer hesitate a little.

If it weren't for the unexpected factor of evil spirits, history would have followed the conventional path that Reiji believed in.

Reiji's hometown in another world also needs to undergo a baptism of fire and rebirth; he just needs to proceed according to the normal process.

Without Japan as a historical enemy, history may have shifted, but thanks to Raize's intervention, it won't go completely astray.

This world, which doesn't have many extraordinary elements, is somewhat malleable. You can temporarily use it as your secondary base. I've recorded its coordinates, so you can travel there at any time.

Just then, Neptune spoke up while Reiji hesitated, and his words tipped the scales in Reiji's mind.

Besides considering his own child, Neptune also plans to reshape this world, as long as it can be restored smoothly in the future.

Taking over a world as a branch base—the potential benefits of this arrangement piqued and tempted Razer's interest.

After Neptune swallowed the evolution system, he also regained some of his power and functions.

For the available games, six games have been unlocked for Razer: "Journey to the West 3", "The Legend of Sword and Fairy 1", "Fate/stay night", "The Legend of Jin Yong", "Touhou Eiyashou", and "NieR: Automata".

Also, the God's Curse, God's Might, and Kagura, which were previously released together with God's Wrath in the main world, have been loaded, and Razer can start playing this game at any time.

Besides Farmville and Azur Lane, this is another large-scale, permanent game that requires Razer to invest time and effort in as a secondary career.

That's Genshin Impact, the game that brought Reiji's hometown to the world and successfully exported its culture.

It's an open-world adventure game, and the items, tools, materials, and other treasures it contains are all quite good.

After considering the benefits he could gain and weighing the pros and cons, Raiji gave Kagaya Ubuyashiki a hearty smile.

It seems I'll need to stay a while longer; I need to get back to my hometown.

He could help Japan, since this would also be his territory, but he would still prefer to build a branch base in his own backyard.

Moreover, the underworld in this world is a place where I can put more effort into it. Since the underworld is fully automated, can I, the King of the Dead Tomb, move in there?

Without Muzan and his demon lords, the world is now completely invincible.

This is the opening act of Rezer's journey.

In the boundless world that follows, Neptune will continue to guide him toward that extraordinary path.

Now, the second act is about to begin!

Chapter 75 Lei Zhe: Impure! Filthy!

The sky over the new world was gray, as if shrouded in a thin veil of filth.

Large swaths of dark clouds piled up in the sky, making the originally vast expanse of the heavens seem somewhat crowded.

A sliver of warm sunlight pierced through the heavy clouds, shining down on the suffering world.

In this tranquil moment, a shooting star, shimmering with brilliant light, broke through the thick clouds along with the sunlight and fell to earth.

"Emmm, Neptune, I suspect you're messing with me!"

Having finished the personnel deployment and base construction in the Demon Slayer world, Reiji was once again pulled into the new world by Nep. Reiji, transformed into a meteor, still descended from the sky to the earth. Opening his eyes and stepping out of the light, he looked at everything in front of him with twitching eyes.

Beside Lei Zhe was a stunningly beautiful silver-haired girl with a blank expression, her beautiful eyes filled with curiosity as she turned her head to look around.

Lei Zhe held Xiao You's soft, boneless little hand in his palm. He enjoyed the warmth of his beloved in his hand, which made him feel very at ease.

However, after bringing Xiaoyou to the new world together, the anticipation suddenly turned sour.

Because the previous world was not a very pleasant one, Lei Zhe had no intention of letting Xiao You leave his personal mini-world.

However, after he finished setting up Demon Slayer, he told Yui about his experience in the new world, and the girl got a little angry after hearing it.
