People in Demon Slayer: The Journey That Began with Demon Slayer

If the person inside the coffin is indeed Mr. Yosuke, then Kibu Y Muzan will definitely be personally guarding the coffin. Therefore, my plan is that at night, all members of the Demon Slayer Corps will launch the main attack to draw Kibu Y Muzan and his Upper Moon subordinates into battle, while Mr. Osamu and the others will rescue Mr. Yosuke.

Having to wait until evening, the impatient Shinobu Kocho looked at Kanae Kocho and asked, "Sister, what should we do?"

Kanae Kocho was also undecided and looked at Osamu beside her: "Mr. Osamu, should we wait until tonight to act together with everyone?"

Forcing himself to calm down, Zhi frowned and thought for a moment. If he and the other three demons, along with the Butterfly Sisters, were to face Kibuyaku Muzan and the three Upper Moons now, their chances of survival would be slim.

However, by joining the Demon Slayer Corps and having their support, the chances of success are much greater.

With difficulty, Zhi nodded and said, "Alright! As soon as the sun sets, we'll launch a full-scale attack on Kibu Muzan!"

——

At this moment, Yang Jie, inside the black coffin, was surrounded by complete darkness, without a single ray of light, and his body was unable to move.

Yosuke called out to the system, but received no response. He could only slowly repair his damaged heart.

Just as Yosuke was concentrating on repairing his heart, he heard the voice of the god in his ear.

"Compared to you and Muzan, you and I are more like brothers."

The sage's inexplicable words made Yang Jie frown: "What do you mean?"

Now, Yosuke and he are both trapped in this dark space. The god said very calmly, "Before the appearance of demons in this world, the rules of this world were incomplete. Only when the first demon appears and is finally killed by the chosen one of destiny will the incomplete rules of the world be completed."

I was chosen by fate, bearing the power of the world's rules, to guide the first ghost to appear in the world. My ability to use words and to foresee the future is the power of the rules. But I never expected that you would also be chosen. That incomplete power of the rules would descend upon you and protect you, allowing you to live instead of dying.

Even if the chosen one were to kill Muzan Kibutsuji, the broken world would not be able to replenish the power of its rules.

Because the missing piece of the power of the rules is within you! Yosuke Ubuyashiki!

Yosuke Ubuyashiki, we are both chosen by fate, bound by the power of rules—a bond far more sublime than blood ties!

Based on the contents of the divine oracle, Yosuke made a guess about the origin of the system. He was almost certain that the system within his body was the incomplete power of regulation.

This also explains why the deity was able to know precisely when the power bestowed upon him by the system would end.

Chapter 132: The Final Battle is About to Begin

Yosuke had no idea how long he would be trapped in this black coffin; in the endless darkness, he couldn't feel the passage of time at all.

Yosuke was very worried about whether the Oni Crow had delivered information about Muzan Kibutsuji's newly acquired Word Power ability to the Butterfly Mansion.

Based on Yosuke's understanding of Muzan, now that his biggest obstacle has been eliminated, he is very likely to make a move against Nezuko or Iwakatsu Tsugikuni, who have overcome the sunlight.

If you don't understand Kibu Y Muzan's new abilities, you might suffer a great loss.

The deity abruptly asked, "Are you very worried about your companions?"

Yang Jie remained silent. The sage was his enemy, so there was no need to waste words with him.

The God continued, seemingly oblivious, "Don't worry, it won't be long before you're reunited with your companions. This dark space isn't your ability, but rather a product of the power of rules within you. The power of rules within me is far stronger than yours, and I can decipher it given enough time."

Yang Jie frowned. He didn't think the God was exaggerating, because everything the God said was true, meaning the black coffin wouldn't hold them for long.

"Through my ability to foresee the future, I have learned that your companions have assembled their forces and are about to launch a final assault on Kibuy Muzan. The theater is about to end, Ubuyashiki Yosuke, you are about to be checkmated!"

Outside, however, the sun was still shining brightly.

Just as the god said in the black coffin, a large number of Demon Slayer Corps members have gathered inside and outside the Butterfly Mansion. At this moment, everyone is staring intently at the sun, their hearts surging with excitement.

Because the moment the sun sets, the official campaign against Muzan Kibutsuji will begin.

Not one was afraid, not one retreated, because they all shared the same vision: to fight the evil spirits in place of their ancestors who had sacrificed their lives, and to create a world without ghosts for their descendants.

Yushiro's Blood Demon Art is somewhat similar to Yosuke's Blood Demon Art, Eye-Hidden. It can be used to block the vision of others or make people see things that are not normally visible. It can be activated through talismans, and can also see everything that other talisman bearers see through talismans. It can even create visual illusions.

With Yushiro's help, Kagaya Ubuyashiki scattered a large number of crows imbued with Yushiro's Blood Demon Art in the Infinite Castle in Ōsumi Village, observed the terrain of the Infinite Castle, and used the Crow's Eye to draw a map of the Infinite Castle.

Kagaya Ubuyashiki said to Iwakatsu Tsugikuni, "Mr. Tsugikuni, you are most familiar with the Upper Moon demons. Could you explain the abilities of those three Upper Moon demons to us?"

Ji Guoyan nodded and began to explain the abilities of the Upper Moon.

"First is Douma, who can turn his frozen blood into mist-like 'ice crystals' and spread them out with a fan. When human skin comes into contact with Douma's ice crystals, it will freeze. If the ice crystals are inhaled into the lungs of an opponent, they can cause breathing difficulties and eventually lead to alveolar necrosis."

Its weakness is that you should avoid inhaling ice crystals and engaging in ranged combat when fighting it.

"Then there is Hantengu. Hantengu's ability is centered around 'Blood Demon Art? Concretization? Split'. When Hantengu is in danger, his strong emotions of joy, anger, sorrow and happiness can be materialized through this Blood Demon Art to protect his body."

The four clones each control four completely different Blood Demon Arts, and the Blood Demon Arts do not affect their own cells, so there is no need to worry about accidentally harming their own people. After completing the split, Hantengu will use the tiny "Kei" as the main body to control the four immortal clones to fight. "Kei" only needs to run away and hide to easily defeat the opponent in a war of attrition.

Even if the clones are beheaded, they will not disappear and can even freely split into smaller, degraded clones. When the main body is in extreme danger, the four clones will merge and evolve into "Zengbotian," a being with explosively increased power.

"Finally, it's Nakime."

When Nakime was mentioned, Kokushibo's expression became somewhat serious.

"Nakome herself is not very strong in combat; one Pillar could kill her. However, her ability is the most troublesome. She can use Blood Demon Art to change the spatial layout within the Infinity Castle and can teleport things within the Infinity Castle."

If you want a battle without any worries, you must take care of Nakime first!

Following Kuniyama's evaluation of Narumi, no one dared to take it lightly.

Imagine if you were halfway through a battle, about to slay the demon, but Nakime teleported you away—then all your efforts would be wasted.

Kagaya Ubuyashiki thanked Iwakatsu Tsugikuni, saying, "Thank you so much. This information is extremely important to us."

With this information from Kokushiro Tsugikuni, perhaps the Demon Slayer Corps members can be spared far fewer casualties.

As for Muzan's abilities, the Demon Slayer Corps, with Yosuke's help, already knew about them. Even the newly acquired power of words was shared with the Demon Slayer Corps members through Yosuke's demon crows.

The humans living in the villages surrounding Ōsumi Village have all been evacuated by the Demon Slayer Corps in order to prevent innocent humans from being controlled by Muzan Kibutsuji and forced into battle hundreds of years ago.

The Butterfly Sisters and Tamayo distributed first-aid medicines and drugs that could suppress or weaken demons to the members of the Demon Slayer Corps.

All preparations were complete, and everyone present was full of confidence and believed in victory.

Meanwhile, on the other side, they are in the Infinite City.

Nakime knelt before Muzan and reported, "Lord Muzan, my eyeball clones have discovered that the Demon Slayer Corps has fully assembled and is preparing to advance towards the Infinity Castle."

Kibuy Muzan sneered disdainfully, "Now that Ubuyashiki Yosuke is gone, what chance do they have against these humans who are like ants? Ridiculous! That's fine, saves me the trouble of going looking for them myself."

"Nekome, gather all the scattered demons and teleport them to the Infinity Castle. This time, I will crush every single ant that defies me!"

Nakime nodded and said, "Yes!"

Kibu Muzan once again ordered Doma and Hantengu: "This time, you will lead all the demons and be responsible for killing all the Demon Slayer Corps members!"

"Yes!"

Kibuy Muzan looked at the black coffin beside him: "Ubuyashiki Yosuke, this time the only winner will be me! It's a pity you won't be able to see this. Don't worry, if you can still live and get out of the cage you created, what you will see is the pile of bones of your companions! And this world will become a paradise for demons!"

The brutal laughter of Kibuyaku echoed throughout the Infinite City.

"Finally, I'll soon become an ultimate being, immune to sunlight!"

Chapter 133 The Great Battle Begins

As night falls, it heralds the imminent start of a great battle between humans and demons.

With Kagaya Ubuyashiki's words, "May you all have good luck in your battles," the entire Demon Slayer Corps officially set off for the Infinity Castle in Ōsumi Village.

Standing at the front of the group were Kanae Kocho, Shinobu Kocho, Kanao Tsuyukiro, Katsumi Tsugikuni, Osamu, Gyutaro, Koyuki, and Koume. They couldn't wait to rescue Yosuke.

Following closely behind were the Pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps.

The Rock Pillar is Gyomei Himejima, the Water Pillar is Giyu Tomioka, the Sound Pillar is Utengen, the Wind Pillar is Sanemi Shinazugawa, the Flame Pillar is Kyojuro Rengoku, the Serpent Pillar is Obanai Iguro, the Love Pillar is Mitsuri Kanroji, and the Mist Pillar is Muichiro Tokito.

Following behind the Pillars were Tanjiro, Zenitsu, Genya Shinazugawa, and Inosuke, who had roughly bandaged his injuries and rejoined the battle—the four Pillar candidates.

Then there is the core combat force of the Demon Slayer Corps, a large army composed of nearly a thousand demon-slaying swordsmen.

The last unit in the group is the Demon Slayer Corps' logistics unit, responsible for providing logistical support to the combat personnel on the battlefield.

The main force of the Demon Slayer Corps arrived outside the Infinity Castle in Ōsumi Village.

Outside the Infinite Castle, leading the group was Muzan Kibutsuji, whom everyone wanted to kill, with Doma and Hantengu standing behind him.

Behind them were hordes of evil spirits, no fewer in number than the Demon Slayer Corps' army.

The Pillars stepped forward, facing Kibu Muzan directly: "Kibu Muzan, do you remember everyone here? We all lost our happy lives because of you! Now we've come to take our revenge!"

Kibuy Muzan glanced around at the Demon Slayer Corps members and said calmly, "Would you remember a few ants just because you stepped on them?"

Upon hearing this, everyone glared at Kibutsuji with hatred.

Kibuy Muzan continued, seemingly unconcerned, "They're so annoying. Everyone wants revenge on me. It's really irritating. Wouldn't it be enough if they just survived?"

Those I killed were no different from those who perished in a natural disaster; there's no need to delve into it. After all, the dead cannot be brought back to life. Isn't it enough to live a peaceful life? Why bother seeking revenge against me?

Immediately afterward, Kibuy Muzan continued, "No ordinary person would be foolish enough to seek revenge against themselves. Only madmen like you would choose to sacrifice your lives for your so-called 'family' and 'friends.' I'm tired of fighting an organization like this. This time, I'm going to wipe you all out completely!"

"Now is the time to completely annihilate the Demon Slayer Corps!" With a wave of his hand, Muzan Kibutsuji's massive army of demons marched towards the Demon Slayer Corps!

Kagaya Ubuyashiki, who is currently at the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters, has Yushiro's talisman on his forehead. He can see everything that other talisman bearers see through the talisman and can send orders to the Demon Slayer Corps swordsmen on the battlefield in the first instance through the talisman.

"Attack! It's time to make a clean break!"

With Kagaya Ubuyashiki giving the order to attack, all members of the Demon Slayer Corps launched their attack.

The final battle between humans and evil spirits has officially begun.

However, there is a difference in strength between humans and demons. It takes two to three demon-slaying swordsmen to kill an ordinary demon.

A thousand-strong Demon Slayer Corps swordsmen against a thousand demons—the situation was unequal from the start.

The Pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps had a clear objective: to target Muzan Kibutsuji, who was positioned behind the army of demons.

If we can kill Kibu Muzan, then all of this can end.

The sword technique of breathing was continuously used, and the demon-slaying swordsman fought fearlessly, gradually stabilizing the unfavorable situation.

Osamu and his companions had a very clear goal: to enter the Infinite Castle and rescue Yosuke.

However, the demons are like maggots clinging to bones; once one batch is killed, another batch of demons will take its place, making it impossible for them to get close to the Infinite City.

Osamu and the others, who also had Yushiro's talisman on them, heard Kagaya Ubuyashiki's voice in their ears: "Please don't worry, I will now have Kyojuro and Muichiro pave a path for you."

As soon as Kagaya Ubuyashiki finished speaking, Kyojuro and Muichiro appeared in front of Osamu and the others.

"Breath of Fire? Ultimate Technique? Ninth Form? Purgatory!"

Kyojuro Rengoku charged forward with the power of hellfire, successfully carving out a path that led directly to the Infinity Castle.
