Chapter 39
The Sacrifice of the Sound Hashira, Kocho Shinobu Suspects Her Madness!

Finally done!

Ming Nu let out a sigh of relief.

Her biggest fear was that Butterfly Kanae would refuse to die, and insist on fighting her to the death.

If it really came to that, it would be a real problem.

Killing her would be a pity, but not killing her wasn't an option either.

After all, she couldn't really let Butterfly Kanae chop off her own head, could she?

She would die!

Having finally gotten the chance to see the deity again, how could Ming Nu possibly be willing to die in such a humiliating way?

Thankfully, Butterfly Kanae was a good sister.

She might not care about her own life, but she would never disregard Butterfly Shinobu's life!

"Ming Nu, are we starting the sacrifice ceremony now?"

Beside her, Tong Mo's excited voice reached her ears: "After seeing the deity, I must pray to Him, to grant me the ability to feel emotions!"

"Yes, let's start now. If Guiwu Tsuji Muzan finds out, it will be bad."

Ming Nu had been diligently hiding near Guiwu Tsuji Muzan recently. Naturally, she knew that her trash boss was going crazy trying to find a suitable witch!

He had even set his sights on the child-bearing Zhu Shi!

If it wasn't for Tuan Zang and Makiguchi Zen'en in the group chat, worried that Guiwu Tsuji Muzan's reckless actions would anger the deity and drag them down with him,

they would have spent more than an hour trying to reason with him. Probably the trash boss went to capture Zhu Shi already.

Lu Ming actually knew about this too.

He wouldn't mind trying a married woman.

After all, the spirit of Cao Cao is immortal, right?!

But, since the rules were already established, only a pure woman could become a witch.

Lu Ming naturally wouldn't break them.

If he was really curious about Zhu Shi's taste, he could just find a time later to let the witch from the Demon Slayer world bring her back to Wasteland, right?

Could it be that the witch would dare to refuse the will of the deity?

Impossible...............

At the center of the altar.

Butterfly Kanae, who had been eavesdropping the whole time, was getting increasingly confused.

Even though every word that Ming Nu said, taken individually, she understood.

Why couldn't she understand a single sentence when they were put together?

What was this deity descending, witch qualification, Guiwu Tsuji Muzan almost going crazy..................

What the heck was this all about?

What were these demons up to?

While she didn't understand, Butterfly Kanae still managed to pick out a few useful pieces of information.

Firstly, the Demon King Guiwu Tsuji Muzan had sacrificed an Upper Moon named Daki not long ago!

He had received a gift from the deity!

And that Upper Moon named Daki had become a witch serving the deity!

Unfortunately, she seemed to have angered the deity and was banished from the highest realm.

Secondly, that Upper Moon named Ming Nu seemed to have also gained the deity's favor and successfully escaped Guiwu Tsuji Muzan's control.

And that Upper Moon Two, Tong Mo, was the helper Ming Nu had found for herself!

The two of them were now using her as a sacrifice to offer to the deity!

"No way.................."

"How can there be something so ridiculous in this world?"

It was fine when she didn't understand. Now that she did, Butterfly Kanae felt it was absurd.

What was this all about!

How could there be a deity in this world?

If a deity really existed, why hadn't it come to eliminate these cannibalistic demons?

It was fine that it wasn't eliminating the demons.

The funniest part was that Guiwu Tsuji Muzan, the Demon King, not only offered sacrifices to the deity, but was also rewarded!

The deity rewarding the Demon King?

Was that even a deity?

It was clearly an evil deity!

Butterfly Kanae thought that either she had misheard or these two Upper Moons had gone crazy....................

But, it was a good thing they were crazy.

She could use the strength of these two Upper Moons to eliminate Guiwu Tsuji Muzan!

Butterfly Kanae had already figured it out. She would cooperate with Ming Nu later.

After the ceremony ended, she would try to communicate with these two Upper Moons.

Even if she couldn't bring them back to the Demon Slayer Corps, getting some intel would be good.

It would definitely be better than nothing, right?

Ming Nu, of course, didn't know what Butterfly Kanae was planning. She just wanted to complete the sacrifice ceremony as quickly as possible before Guiwu Tsuji Muzan found out!

Once the sacrifice ceremony was complete, she would receive the deity's gift.

From then on, she wouldn't have to fear the Demon King anymore!

Just like Mei!

Thinking of this, a flicker of excitement crossed Ming Nu's single eye.

She knelt in front of the altar, with Tong Mo by her side.

She recited the prayer she had practiced countless times in private!

"In the profound abyss of the universe, the stars shine with their eternal light!"

"I call upon you, the omniscient and omnipotent One who unites all!"

"Great Ruler of Dreams, Weaver of Time and Space."

"You are the root of truth! You are the end of fate! You are the eternal creator!"

"Your humble servant, Ming Nu, offers the sacrifice, Butterfly Kanae, to you. I beg you to cast your merciful gaze upon us!"

As the words fell.

Ming Nu and Tong Mo bowed their heads together.

After three bows, the altar finally reacted!

Under the excited gaze of the two, and the astonished, unbelievable eyes of the Butterfly sisters.

The altar projected a galaxy, guiding the arrival of the deity!

It was an aggregation of billions of stars!

It emitted a dazzlingly bright light!

Especially evident in the night!

It was as if a sun had risen, illuminating the entire world!

"There really is a god!?"

Butterfly Kanae was dumbfounded, seeing this from the center of the altar.

It turned out these two Upper Moons hadn't gone crazy, and she hadn't misheard.

In this world..................

There really was a deity!

But, why had she never seen this god in any temples?

Butterfly Kanae's doubts only lasted for a moment.

Because, as she was doubting, the answer automatically appeared in her mind.

Butterfly Kanae knew.

It was the world instinctively spreading the name of the deity!

—One who unites all!

Eternal and great, the true deity!
