Chapter 40
Douma Wants to Become a God? Fine, I'll Grant You Your Wish!

Witnessing the descent of a god once again, and it being the ritual she herself conducted.

Needless to say, how excited was Ming Nu!

A god, brought by me!

What an honor was this?

Ming Nu will never forget how envious she felt when Muzan made his sacrifice.

Now, it was finally her turn!

“I will obtain everything!”

Ming Nu was not content to merely be Upper Rank Four!

What she desired was................

To become the god's representative in the human world!

.......................................

Meanwhile, in the laboratory of the Infinite Mansion.

Muzan, who was racking his brain to find a new sacrifice, suddenly changed his expression!

With such a grand event like the descent of a god, it's estimated that the whole world knows now!

How could Muzan not notice?

He wasn't deaf or blind!

“How is this possible? Why has a god descended?!”

“Could it be that Danzo or Zouken Matou, those two fellows, have arrived in my world?”

Such thoughts were quickly denied by Kibutsuji Muzan: “No, impossible. The chat group's time travel function requires five people to be gathered before it can be used!”

“How could they possibly come to my world?”

“It must be a native of this world! Who could it be?”

One name after another flashed through Muzan's mind.

First, Mei could be ruled out, because she was a shrine maiden, unable to perform a sacrifice ritual.

Gyutaro could be ruled out as well, because he was the reason why Mei was disliked by the god.

Then, who else could it be?

Who else knows of the existence of gods?

“Ming Nu!”

That's right!

It was Ming Nu!

Perhaps it was because this Upper Rank Four usually had no presence, so Muzan thought of her last.

The next second, a surge of intense anger and shame overwhelmed him.

Muzan had previously mocked Danzo for being stolen from by the Third Hokage, but now, the tables had turned on him!

But, how did Ming Nu do it?

Besides anger, Muzan couldn't help but feel confused.

All demons were under his control. If Ming Nu had a change of heart, logically, he should have noticed long ago.

Why was this happening?

Could it be.....................

That Daki, that woman, was helping her behind his back?

“Damn it! Dare to betray me!”

“One after another, you are all the same. I should have crushed you all to death right then and there!”

Smashing the table in the laboratory with a punch, Muzan raged for a while, but still decided to go to the altar.

He naturally wouldn't dare to interrupt the ritual, but this didn't mean that Muzan would just give in and let Ming Nu compete with him!

Traitors must pay the price!

Muzan would kill Ming Nu with his own hands after the ritual!

.........................................

The god descended.

Infinite power, like the ocean, surged forth!

The soft and beautiful Milky Way, like a ribbon of light, circled around Ming Nu.

Granting her wish.

The blood given by Kibutsuji Muzan completely lost its effect. At this moment, Ming Nu severed her connection with the Demon King.

No!

To be precise, Ming Nu had become another Demon King!

She had also become the source of demons!

On par with Kibutsuji Muzan, no longer inferior!

Moreover, due to Ming Nu's unique spatial abilities, if they really fought, her strength might even surpass Kibutsuji Muzan!

This was what Ming Nu wanted!

She wanted to break free from control, compete with Kibutsuji Muzan, and become the only representative of the god in the human world!

“Is this a god?”

Looking at the transformed Ming Nu, Douma, whose heart had been devoid of ripples, felt a tremor.

Douma, who had never felt any emotions since birth, not even joy, anger, sorrow, or joy, felt a faint emotion called "desire" in his heart.

This faint desire, under the influence and amplification of a certain power.

In an instant, it turned into endless waves, engulfing Douma!

Countless, incredibly greedy thoughts sprang up in his heart!

He yearned for the god's grace.

He yearned for the emotions that normal humans had.

And even..................

“I want to become a god.”

Douma, who didn't know what he was saying, whispered these words.

Drawing a horrified yet murderous gaze from Ming Nu beside him.

Douma had gone mad!

That was the first thought that appeared in Ming Nu's mind.

To dare speak of becoming a god in front of the god itself.

Wasn't this a provocation?!

A mere demon, daring to covet the realm of the gods?

This wasn't the way to seek death!

More importantly......................

Don't drag me into your death wish! You bastard!

Ming Nu now deeply regretted choosing such a creature to collaborate with!

Knowing that Douma didn't have the emotions of a normal intelligent life, why did she still choose him?

Now, the whole world was going to be doomed.

The god now..................

Must be furious, right?

Ming Nu closed her single eye in resignation.

If it wasn't for the god being present, she would have loved to kill Douma, this oblivious creature, with her own hands!

What Ming Nu didn't know was that how could a lower lifeform, with its own thoughts, fathom the mind of a god?

Just like right now.

Mortals thought that the god would be furious and send down divine punishment to destroy everything.

Because mortals wanted to covet the realm of the gods, they also wanted to become gods.

In doing so, wouldn't that pose a threat to the gods?

But the truth was?

The god wasn't angry.

On the contrary, not only was the god not angry, it found it amusing!

So you want to become a god?

Alright!

I will grant your wish!

The starlight that was supposed to turn into a cocoon to create a shrine maiden, changed course.

It was poured into Douma's body, enhancing his life essence and, in the process, infused him with vast knowledge!

As a god, how could it be as simple as just having power?

The god's very existence carried an amount of information that mortals couldn't understand or analyze!

This was one of the reasons why mortals couldn't look directly at the god!

To become a god, the first thing to do is to accommodate and understand the information required to become a god!

Only when wisdom could control power could one break free from the cocoon and become a god!

Otherwise, if power controlled wisdom, it would result in a distortion!

Ultimately, it would turn into a monster that had lost its self-awareness!
