The demon monk in the second dimension

"I have an announcement to make. Doma is dead. From now on, Nakime will be the new Upper Moon Two!"

Nakime raised her head from behind Muzan Kibutsuji.

In her single eye, there is a large "two".

Upon hearing of Doma's death, the Gengetsu members, who had just recovered from their grief, remained expressionless and dared not utter a word.

They can't even protect themselves now, so how can they have the mind to care about others?

Akaza couldn't help but laugh at the sight of only Upper Moon Three, the Touki.

He has a straightforward personality and comes from a martial arts background.

When facing a Pillar of the Demon Slayer Corps whom he respects, he would even erect a tombstone and bury the person after killing them, rather than eating their corpse.

He absolutely does not kill or eat women.

She was very incompatible with Doma, who was a LYB (a derogatory term for a woman who is overly affectionate and effeminate) and who always dressed in a effeminate manner. Doma believed that eating her followers was the greatest reward for her and that he was a womanizer.

He was overjoyed to hear of Doma's death.

After reprimanding his subordinates, Muzan issued new orders.

“I have lifted the restrictions on your blood, and now you can create new ghosts with your own blood.”

“A village, a town, even a city! Go and create more and more ghosts for me, the more the better!”

Upon hearing this, both the Upper Moon and Lower Moon demons looked up in astonishment.

"Is this a move to let us ghosts rule the world?"

Muzan offered no explanation, but instead spoke menacingly to the Crescent Moons with his crimson eyes.

"If you disappoint me again next time, the punishment won't be as simple as it is today."

Bang Bang Bang!

As soon as he finished speaking, Nakime plucked the lute and sent the Twelve Demon Moons out of the Infinite Castle.

Not long after, Muzan Kibutsuji was also sent away.

Following this spatial fluctuation, the Crimson Light Sword carried Xia Zhi directly through it.

In a room resembling a study, Natsumi watched from behind as Muzan Kibutsuji, who was completely unaware of what was happening, felt the flesh on his back twitch.

"Now that the restrictions have been lifted, you're no longer needed."

"Kibutsuji Muzan, become my provisions!"

puff puff!

Behind Xia Zhi, below his shoulder blades, a large expanse of fleshy tentacles covered in sharp teeth swept towards Muzan Kibutsuji like lightning!

These fleshy tentacles were densely packed, like two enormous fleshy wings spreading out behind Xia Zhi.

With a soft "poof," the two wings quickly merged into one, forming a blood cocoon that engulfed Muzan Kibutsuji.

"Ahhhh!!!"

Overwhelmed by sudden, excruciating pain, the severely injured Muzan Kibutsuji screamed in agony.

He had no idea what had happened to him or what had occurred.

But sensing the danger to his life, Muzan Kibutsuji instantly blew himself apart, triggering a powerful shockwave like a missile explosion!

This is his strongest move, and also the most suitable way to escape.

As long as a piece of flesh the size of a finger escapes, Muzan Kibutsuji can be resurrected.

Kibutsuji Muzan's flesh and blood scattered like shrapnel, at a speed that even exceeded the speed of sound!

However, the blood cocoon formed by Xia Zhi's Nascent Soul stage body was something that Muzan Kibutsuji could not break through.

He blew himself up, which ironically led to his rapid death.

Even Muzan Kibutsuji's screams and the sound of explosions were blocked by the blood cocoon and could not be heard.

After a violent tremor, the blood cocoon resembled a large, chewing mouth, constantly wriggling up and down as if enjoying a delicious meal.

"They were so determined to die. This is going to be difficult."

Because of the excessive consumption of his primordial spirit, Xia Zhi's thinking became somewhat sluggish.

His headaches persisted, sometimes even causing him to lose focus.

Just as Muzan Kibutsuji self-destructed, Xia Zhi successfully spared his life, leaving him alive as a piece of flesh the size of a fingernail.

As the progenitor of demons, once Muzan Kibutsuji dies, the other demons will also die.

The seeds have just been planted, and the summer solstice is still waiting to be harvested.

In this way, although Muzan Kibutsuji was still alive, he had lost his own consciousness.

It's simply about "living".

Perhaps it could be called a plant ghost.

However, because Muzan Kibutsuji self-destructed too quickly, the curses he had placed on the other demons disappeared.

In other words, these ghosts have lost control.

Now, not only the crescent moon, but even ordinary ghosts can use their own blood to reproduce new ghosts.

"Well, forget it. Anyway, my goal isn't to control these ghosts. I wouldn't want such a huge karmic debt even if it were given to me for free."

Xia Zhi felt awkward for a while, but then she couldn't help but burst out laughing.

You have to believe that he was definitely a step slower because of a headache, not because of a slip of the hand or anything like that!

Chapter 83 The Taisho Rebellion

Although Muzan Kibutsuji's curse has gone wrong, the cannibals are unaware of it for the time being.

This curse only activates when Muzan Kibutsuji's name is mentioned, or when someone tries to say anything related to him, killing the demons.

The cannibals understood when they were turned into monsters that they would die if they uttered that person's name.

I'm not so reckless as to want to try it out and see if it's real.

When a normal cannibal encounters a human, its first reaction is to eat him, not to try and turn him into a ghost.

Therefore, for the time being, only the Twelve Demon Moons have spread the number of demons due to Muzan Kibutsuji's orders.

After consuming Muzan Kibutsuji, Natsume once again used the Crimson Light Sword to break through space and return to the Infinity Castle.

He used the same trick again, appearing from behind Nakime.

Xia Zhi stretched out her hands, her arms as long as an ape's, and hugged Ming Nu tightly.

Kill the girl in your arms!

"Woo!"

Suddenly being hugged, Nakime instinctively cried out.

The next moment, countless tiny tentacles resembling fleshy buds sprouted from Xia Zhi's arms and body, plunging fiercely into Ming Nu's body.

These buds quickly entered Mingnu's body, connecting her body with Xia Zhi's, as if the two were born together.

Xia Zhi looked down at Ming Nu, her eyes as still as an ancient well.

"Spatial abilities are rather troublesome; I can't keep you here."

Nakime felt an irresistible force rapidly eroding her body and pulling her into the body of the strange man in front of her.

She tried to use her blood demon magic to fight back, but found that she couldn't move her body at all, and even half of her face had melted away.

In less than two seconds, Xia Zhi devoured Ming Nu, leaving behind only a geisha's dress and some of Xia Zhi's hair that she didn't eat.

With Nakime's death, the spatial perception became disordered, and the Infinite Castle, with its countless rooms like castles in the air, could no longer be maintained and collapsed instantly.

boom! boom! boom!

One by one, Japanese-style rooms crashed down from mid-air with a deafening roar like demolition.

The tables, chairs, benches, bookshelves, and tatami mats in the room were smashed to pieces on the floor.

Soon, Infinite City ceased to exist, leaving only a ruin as large as a small mountain.

……

Kibutsuji Muzan personally gave the order, and the Twelve Demon Moons dared not neglect it.

Kokushibo, the Upper Moon One with six eyes, or rather Yoriichi Tsugikuni's twin brother, Kokushibo, decided to turn the members of the Demon Slayer Corps into demons in order to better combat the Demon Slayer Corps.

Just like he was back then.

The Demon Slayer Corps has hundreds of members, but not every one of them possesses an unwavering will and the strong spirit to face death with equanimity.

Akaza's target is samurai.

On the fourth Upper Moon, Hantengu, who was a bandit when he was human, goes to find thieves, mountain bandits, and robbers according to his own preferences.

Upper Moon Five, a self-proclaimed artist who loves making teapots, is a teapot demon named Tamako who plans to turn artists such as painters and craftsmen into demons.

He heard that a novelist named Ryunosuke Akutagawa had become very famous recently, and he remembered it.

As the sixth level of the Upper Moon, Gyutaro and Daki naturally decided to set their sights on the tech workers in the entertainment district.

As a brothel that only opens at night, it's a perfect hiding place for ghosts.

Simply put, it means following your heart.

The lower moons weren't as picky as the upper moons.

They were terrified that at the next gathering they would be eliminated for failing to achieve Muzan Kibutsuji's goal, so they went mad and created cannibals.

Even ghosts know the principle of not draining the pond to catch all the fish, so they only eat one or two people every now and then in their own territory.

But this time, they completely abandoned their so-called territory and started creating ghosts village by village.

In a short time, the number of cannibals across the Taisho era increased by tens or even hundreds of times!

Many remote villages were turned into ghost villages, swallowing up all passing tourists and merchants.

Dozens of ghosts gathered together and, driven by hunger, launched a massive attack on the town even at night!

Many people discovered the existence of ghosts and watched them rush into houses and devour the humans inside.

As a result, news of the cannibals' appearances was gathered at the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters like snowflakes.

……

This was just after the end of World War I, and Emperor Yoshihito had been on the throne for more than six years. The country had just experienced a riot caused by a nationwide surge in rice prices.

The cannibals' frequent activities were masked by war and riots, and their impact was not yet significant.

It's still under control for now, and won't cause panic among people.

Compared to the more legendary ghosts, the recently concluded First World War was far more terrifying.

This time, however, Kagaya Ubuyashiki received more than ten times the number of reports about demon attacks, and there were even reports of hordes of demons attacking towns.

"Ghosts are creatures with a strong sense of territory. They are rarely seen even in pairs, so how could they appear in groups?"

He felt strange.

"What exactly does Muzan Kibutsuji want to do?"

Originally, Muzan Kibutsuji traveled around, choosing only the humans he liked and turning them into demons.

Why did you suddenly become so open to everyone?

"Does he intend to rule this country with ghosts? When did he become so audacious?"

Because of Yoriichi Tsugikuni, Muzan was terrified that his location would be exposed.

If another strong person like Yoriichi Tsugikuni appears among humans, or even someone stronger than him, wouldn't he be finished if they found him?

Such a Muzan could not possibly become an overt ruler.

The idea that he could indirectly rule the country by controlling the Taisho leadership is utter nonsense.

The Taisho administration knows that while becoming a demon grants immortality, it also means dying when exposed to sunlight, having to eat human flesh, and being controlled by Muzan Kibutsuji.

They were no longer in control of their own lives; rather than receiving the blessing of immortality, they were becoming slaves to others for all eternity.
