“Tsk tsk tsk, truly the progenitor of all demons.”
“Survived a small-yield hydrogen bomb.”
On the deck of Prinz Eugen.
Beifa tossed the ragged and disoriented Muzan in front of Lu Chen.
“So you’re magic creatures? Only the real sun can kill you?”
Lu Chen asked curiously.
Muzan was lying on the ground, only exhaling, not inhaling.
After suffering a near-annihilating blast, even with five brains and seven hearts, it was doubtful he could survive a hydrogen bomb, even with three heads and six arms.
“I think it was the yield that wasn’t enough, and he really did run fast.”
Li Jie said nonchalantly.
“I minimized the yield of the warhead, less than one-tenth of its conventional power, otherwise he would’ve been turned to ashes.”
“…”
Muzan, at this point, couldn't even use his Blood Demon Art, let alone stand up.
He was only alive thanks to the powerful vitality and recovery power of a demon.
He looked up, vaguely recognizing Lu Chen's appearance.
“You are…”
“We met before? Forgot?”
Lu Chen kicked him.
“Last time we met, you wanted to kill me. Oh, I was naked when we started, so I couldn't beat you.”
“!!!”
“You?!”
He recalled that Lu Chen was the man who inexplicably appeared on the holographic interface, and the girl beside him was the same.
Although they had changed clothes, the appearance of the Kanmusu was very recognizable.
“Don’t kill me.”
Muzan slowly uttered these words.
As the ancestor of all demons, he was incredibly proud, but the fear of death made him willing to abandon his dignity and beg for mercy.
“Reason?”
“I can share my blood with you, granting you unimaginable power and eternal life.”
“…”
“Then you might as well just die.”
Lu Chen thought for a moment, took out a syringe, and quickly drew a tube of blood from Muzan, then stored it in a sealed container.
“Though you’re quite weak, taking a sample and keeping it as a collection, studying it back home wouldn’t be bad.”
“After all, you are a boss, at least.”
“…”
All sorts of feelings of resentment welled up on Kibutsuji Muzan’s face. He never imagined that he would face such a ridiculous end.
“Oh, are you looking for this?”
Lu Chen pulled out the blue Blue Spider Lily from his pocket and threw it at him.
“This… this… this!!”
Muzan’s eyes widened, and he suddenly regained his senses.
This was the Blue Spider Lily he had been dreaming of! The treasure that allows demons to no longer fear sunlight!
He gently held it in front of him, lightly stroking it.
He thought if he ate it now, could he regain all his strength and escape from here.
Then.
Splat—
The Spider Lily lost its color, staining his hand with paint.
“??????”
Muzan glared at Lu Chen, as if questioning him for being so unethical.
“If you’re stupid, don’t blame others.”
“You have the Spider Lily now, be content and go on your way.”
As the rising sun on the horizon slowly climbed higher, Kibutsuji Muzan turned into a wisp of black ash under the sunlight.
With a gust of sea breeze, he dissipated into the Pacific Ocean.
…
【Current World: Demon Slayer】
【Mission Objectives:】
1. Eliminate the Twelve Kizuki. (Completed)
2. Completely eliminate the threat of “demons.” (Completed)
【Rewards have been issued, the host can return to the original world】
As Muzan dissipated in the sunlight, the system prompt sounded.
Lu Chen picked up the two rewards and looked at them.
One was the training methods for Sun Breathing and Moon Breathing, the same as Yoriichi Tsugikuni and Kokushibo.
Used to enhance swordsmanship, Sun Breathing has a flame-like enchantment effect, while Moon Breathing can emit blade-like sword energy.
The other was Kibutsuji Muzan’s Blood Demon Art, with strange and bizarre techniques, including things like self-division, death child form, whip spike, etc.
“…”
“Commander, are you going to learn these things? I remember the Demon Slayer Corps using similar techniques?”
Beifa asked.
“It’s fine to have a look when you have nothing to do, learn a trick or two, but don't bother studying them. It's just beginner stuff, not very valuable.”
“I actually wanted to learn something like the Curry Stick or Great Void Swordsmanship...”
Lu Chen thought for a moment.
“Modifying the breathing techniques could make them into physical education materials, for our students and residents to use for health improvement in the future.”
“Oh…”
The Kanmusu don't need to learn these things, but thinking about the future where the Star Sea Alliance will include breathing techniques in compulsory physical education in elementary and middle schools, they still find it quite interesting.
“So are we returning now? I wonder how far along Akashi's Gundam has come, and how is the situation in the harbor…”
Prinz Eugen asked thoughtfully.
“Return? Of course not.”
“We have something even more important to do.”
Lu Chen waved his hand.
“Everyone, materialize your hulls, proceed to the northeast 32 direction, target Tokyo Bay.”
“Let the Shogun of the island nation see.”
“Open the door, let’s deliver free trade!!!”
Swoosh—
After entering the open sea, the Kanmusu jumped off the deck, projecting their real forms.
A vast fleet suddenly appeared on the boundless sea.
The gold and white Richelieu-class battleship was at the forefront, followed by two 30,000-ton armored aircraft carriers.
On the flanks, a heavy cruiser and a light cruiser were escorting.
The fleet sailed south, cutting through the waves, unstoppable.
Along the way, many warships, carrying the Japanese flag and chrysanthemum flag, patrolling the coastline were terrified and quickly moved aside.
They looked at this fleet warily.
The Demon Slayer timeline is only in the early 20th century. The Combined Fleet, even counting torpedo boats, has a total tonnage of only around 70,000 tons.
In the face of aircraft carriers and battleships, they were small like ants.
“Communication, Yokosuka Coastal Guard is calling.”
“Please state your intentions, repeat, please state your fleet affiliation and intentions.”
The ships stationed in the nearby military harbors kept contacting this fleet.
As a matter of course, fleets that intrude into territorial waters without permission can be fired upon first and then questioned.
But they simply didn't have the courage to attack this carrier fleet, they could only repeatedly contact the fleet flagship, trying to figure out who they were.
“We are the Star Sea Alliance Expeditionary Force.”
“The fleet will land in Tokyo Bay in two days, please have the Shogun prepare to receive us.”
