He worships power and believes that power is the master of everything.
He doesn't care who will become the new Ghost King, as long as that person can demonstrate power that convinces him.
The new member Dio Brando undoubtedly left an indelible impression on Akaza.
In Akaza's eyes, a strong man like Dio is the Demon King he recognizes.
However, when it comes to Wu Han, Akaza's attitude is completely different.
His disgust for Wu Han was almost beyond words.
If it weren't for Dio's order, Akaza would have long been unable to tolerate Wu Han's presence and would have rushed forward to twist off his head.
Chapter 73 Remarks on the launch
I just received a notice from the editor that it will be on the shelves soon.
To be honest, I'm quite nervous right now. This is the first time for a newcomer to write a book, and to be honest, I have a lot of questions.
For example, the depiction of battle scenes seems to be insufficient, and the creation of characters is sometimes broken. I am very grateful for the readers' reminders and tolerance. The author is also trying his best to correct it and will try to avoid this situation in the future.
Regarding updates, please rest assured that after the work is put on the shelves, there should be no problem with daily 10,000 this month. After the stock is used up, the update speed will return to normal levels, so please bear with me at that time.
Finally, I would like to ask for a wave of first orders. For works like Paradise Literature, the biggest worry is that readers will choose to keep reading. I can understand that everyone likes to save up the books to read together after they are finished, because that's how I ordered when I read Mosquito Books.
But in the early stage, I still trouble you to subscribe and support. Thank you again to all the readers!!!
Chapter 74 Cooperation
"Okay, Muzan Kibutsuji is dead, now let's all talk about our plans." As the words fell, the air around them seemed to become a little heavier.
Akaza frowned, his face full of disdain and disgust, "Who cares? As long as he's not that trash human." As he said that, he spat on the ground again, as if this could vent his dissatisfaction in his heart.
Yuhu stood aside and watched Akaza's reaction. Although he felt the same way, he still advised: "Akaza, calm down. That human has Dio's support now, and we can't afford to offend him for the time being. Instead of venting your emotions here, you should think about our next plan."
Having said that, he looked around and his gaze lingered on Hantengu and Mingnu for a moment.
The two were as silent as ever, as if everything in the outside world had nothing to do with them. Yu Hu couldn't help but feel helpless. He thought he had a bad character, but in front of these two people, he felt like a normal person.
"I... hate that man." Mingnu's cold voice broke the long silence, and her words revealed her deep disgust for Wu Han.
Compared with Muzan Kibutsuji, Wu Han obviously lacks the awe-inspiring charm in their hearts.
As evil spirits, they might temporarily succumb under the pressure of Dio Brando, but the rebelliousness and wildness in their hearts have never been truly tamed.
At this moment, the ghosts began to think about how to get rid of Wu Han, the thorn in their eyes, without offending Dio.
Soon, Lin Yi's figure appeared in Yu Hu's mind.
The ghosts smiled at each other, already having a plan in mind.
Whether it is Wu Han or Lin Yi, their life and death are nothing more than an insignificant drama to the ghosts.
The disappearance of any party will not bring any substantial losses to these evil spirits. Instead, it may become a topic of conversation for them after dinner, or even a source of chaos that they are happy to see.
At the Demon Slayer Corps base, the few pillars who were still able to move gathered in the conference hall.
Looking at the members below, Ubuyashiki Yoya slowly opened his mouth and announced a shocking news to everyone: "Kizan Kibutsuji Muzan is dead."
After the words were spoken, the conference hall fell into a brief silence.
This news is undoubtedly a bombshell for every member of the Demon Slayer Corps.
Everyone looked at each other, and the conference hall fell into an indescribable silence.
Suddenly, the space in the hall began to distort, as if torn apart by an invisible force.
A jade pot appeared out of thin air in front of everyone, suspended in the air.
The Snake Pillar Iguro Obane had fought with Yu Hu before, and he reacted instantly, with a fierce murderous intent flashing in his eyes.
"Everyone be careful!" Iguro Obanai shouted, and swung the Sun Wheel Sword in his hand violently. The blade light slashed towards the body of the pot like a silk thread.
However, just as his blade was about to touch the body of the pot, a skinny arm suddenly stretched out from the pot and steadily blocked his attack.
Immediately afterwards, a creepy laugh came out from the pot, and Bantian Gou's ugly body gradually emerged from the jade pot with a hideous smile on his face, as if he was mocking their incompetence.
Afterwards, Tamakuteru, Naruto, and Akaza also appeared one after another. They stood opposite the Demon Slayer Corps, creating a confrontation situation.
"Why do we have to start fighting right away? This time I come here to seek cooperation." Yu Hu's unique voice sounded particularly abrupt in this solemn conference hall, like a stone thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples.
The tense atmosphere was like frozen ice, permeating every corner of the conference hall.
The pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps drew out their Nichirin swords, pointing the tips of their blades at the evil demons opposite them, ready to respond to any possible conflict at any time.
The confrontation between the two sides is like a warehouse filled with gunpowder. Just a spark can instantly detonate it and turn it into a sea of fire.
Ubuyashiki Yoya waved his hand to signal everyone to stop the action. He knew very well that there must be a hidden story behind the death of Kibutsuji Muzan.
At this moment, he was ready to listen to the purpose of these waxing moons and see what secrets they could reveal.
Yu Hu tried hard to force a smile on his face, but his merman-like appearance made the smile look not only devoid of warmth, but also exuding a weird and creepy aura.
As Yuhu told the story, the members of the Demon Slayer Corps finally had a general understanding of what happened in the Infinite City.
When Yu Hu described that Wu Han was followed by a tall, long-haired, handsome man, Lin Yi suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
This sense of familiarity was so strong that Lin Yi couldn't help but reach out and interrupt Yu Hu's narration.
Lin Yi asked anxiously: "Wait a minute, is the blond man you mentioned named Dio?"
Lin Yi frowned, feeling an inexplicable pressure in his heart.
If the opponent is really Dio Brando, it will mean that they are facing an unprecedentedly powerful enemy.
In Lin Yi's opinion, Dio's ability is simply an upgraded version of Muzan Kibutsuji, or even an enhanced ProMAX version.
Whether in terms of abilities, attributes or skills, Dio is much stronger than Muzan Kibutsuji. Such an enemy is really too difficult to deal with.
Yu Hu's voice sounded again, confirming Lin Yi's guess: "Yes, his name is indeed Dio Brando. However, the man named Wu Han prefers to call him Dio, and we don't know the reason."
Looking at the solemn expression on Lin Yi's face, everyone in the Demon Slayer Corps realized the seriousness of the situation.
They exchanged glances with each other, knowing in their hearts that the enemy they faced this time was probably stronger than ever before.
Ganlu Temple Mitsuri and Lin Yi have always had a good relationship. At this moment, she couldn't help but come forward and ask with concern: "Lin Yi, who is this Dio? Is he really that strong?"
Lin Yi smiled bitterly and nodded, and replied: "If it is really the Dio Brando I know, I am afraid that even if we put all of us together, we may not be able to defeat that man."
As Lin Yi described Dio in detail, the members of the Demon Slayer Corps finally understood why he had such a solemn expression.
He is arrogant and insidious, has extremely weak moral values, is extremely cunning and good at thinking. Such an enemy is undoubtedly the most terrifying.
When Lin Yi said that Dio could even stop the time around himself to attack the enemy, the conference hall fell into deathly silence.
The ability to manipulate time is unheard of and unseen. It completely breaks the Demon Slayer Corps' conventional understanding of combat.
Chapter 75 Signing the Contract
As the meeting ended, the pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps stood up and returned to their respective rooms with solemn expressions.
Everyone's steps seemed a little heavy, as if they were carrying a heavy burden on their shoulders.
They had faced countless evil spirits and powerful enemies before, but Dio's abilities were beyond their imagination.
Time stagnation, life control, body temperature taking away... these abilities are like myths, making it difficult for them to fully digest and understand them for a while.
Lin Yi and Ubuyashiki Yoya looked at each other, then stood up at the same time and walked towards the outside of the Demon Slayer Corps’ base.
When the guard saw the two people, he wanted to step forward to ask, but was stopped by Ubuyashiki Yoya with a gentle wave of his hand.
A few minutes later, Lin Yi and Ubuyashiki Yoya came to a quiet little pavilion.
The environment here is elegant and it is a good place for conversation.
"Since you are here, sir, there is no need to hide. Come out." Ubuyashiki Kazuya's voice echoed in the air, breaking the silence around him.
As soon as he finished speaking, the leaves in the jungle trembled slightly, as if responding to his call.
Then, a blond man walked out from the bushes, and his appearance broke the surrounding silence.
Dio walked to the pavilion calmly, his eyes swept over Lin Yi and Ubuyashiki Yoya, and a meaningful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"You two are in such a good mood that you are waiting for me here." Dio's voice was low and magnetic, as if it could attract people's attention.
He slowly walked into the pavilion and confronted the two men. An invisible contest quietly unfolded.
Yu Hu and others thought their actions were secretive, but they were nowhere to be hidden under Dio's insight.
Sealing the room actually exposed their whereabouts, and Dio easily followed the clues and tracked them here.
Dio sat upright on a stone chair, facing Ubuyashiki Yoya and Lin Yi. He looked relaxed, but his heart was full of vigilance.
Ubuyashiki Yoya gave him a feeling of being unfathomable. Although his perception told him that he was just an ordinary person, his sixth sense kept giving him warnings.
"Interesting, you are much better than those scum in the Infinite City. How about coming under my command? I can guarantee your eternal youth." Dio's words were full of temptation, and his voice seemed to have some kind of magic that made people fall into it unconsciously.
Ubuyashiki Yoya shook his head slightly and rejected Dio's recruitment.
"No, for me, immortality is not what I pursue."
When Dio heard this, a look of surprise flashed across his face.
He obviously did not expect that his temptation would be rejected so easily by Ubuyashiki Yoshiya.
However, he quickly regained his composure. Since Ubuyashiki Yoshiya rejected the invitation, Dio did not waste any more words.
Dio turned his head towards Lin Yi, looking at him with a playful smile on his face, as if evaluating this new opponent.
"Are you the one who's hunting down that guy Wu Han?" Dio's tone was filled with a hint of ease and curiosity, as if he was talking about an interesting trivia.
He did not forget that ever since Wu Han summoned him to this world, he had been shouting that there was a hunter chasing him.
Now it seems that Lin Yi is most likely the hunter responsible for dealing with Wu Han.
In Dio's perception, Lin Yi is an elusive existence.
His aura was like a bottomless black hole, and any attempt to explore it would be ruthlessly swallowed up by it.
This feeling of being unable to see through made Dio feel wary and fearful.
Dio is an extremely cautious and cunning enemy. Without fully understanding the opponent, any rash action may lead to unpredictable consequences.
“So what?” The black and white rose in Lin Yi’s hand seemed to sense the fighting spirit of its owner and began to tremble slightly.
"Well, I don't want to bother with your business. I came here this time for other things."
"Boy, don't you feel that this world is strange?" Dio asked, staring at Lin Yi closely, as if he wanted to discover something from Lin Yi's face.
When Dio lifted the hidden curtain, Lin Yi put away the black and white rose in his hand.
He already understood Dio's intention of coming here.
"What is your purpose?" Lin Yi asked directly.
Dio didn't beat around the bush and answered directly: "Blue Bana."
Lin Yi was not surprised to hear this answer.
Among all the treasures in this world, this is probably the only thing that can attract Dio's attention.
"Okay." Lin Yi readily agreed to Dio's request and drew up a contract with the help of the power of Samsara Paradise.
"In exchange, I need you to help me kill Wu Han, even if you don't do anything."
Dio nodded indifferently. To Dio, betrayal was something he was already very familiar with, and he and Wu Han only had a cooperative relationship, so there was no question of betrayal.
As he spoke, Lin Yi used the power of Samsara Paradise to quickly draw up a contract.
This contract specifies in detail the rights and obligations of both parties, as well as the serious consequences of breach of contract.
The parchment slowly floated down from mid-air in front of the two of them, with densely written terms and restrictions on it.
Dio read the contents of the contract carefully, not missing any details.
When he saw the lower right corner, a sneer appeared on his lips.
