Infinity: The main god space starting from Naruto

Chapter 239: Ghost
"Tsk."

Dio sighed and suddenly exerted force with his right foot. The ground instantly cracked and the whole person shot up into the sky like an arrow.

Standing on the ruins, he scanned the surroundings with his sharp eyes.

But there was nothing. No blood, no footprints, not even a trace of movement in the air.

This is not normal. With Tanjiro's serious injuries, it is impossible for him to leave quietly.

Not far below Dio, Tanjiro held his breath and did not move.

There was a piece of talisman emitting a faint glow stuck to his chest. It was Yushiro's blood demon magic talisman.

The power of "Eye-hidden" completely concealed his existence, and even Dio could not detect it.

A calico cat crouched quietly beside Tanjiro, its golden eyes staring upwards vigilantly. Its tail swayed gently, but made no sound.

Dio sneered: "Hidden?"

A golden world instantly appeared behind Dio, and the stand's fists bombarded the surrounding ruins like a rainstorm.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Amidst the dull roar, gravel flew everywhere. Each punch accurately hit the spot where someone might be hiding.

Suddenly, a blast of gravel almost brushed Tanjiro's cheek. The strong wind blew up his hair and cold sweat slid down his cheek.

Dio stood in the ruins and looked around, his eyes passing over every shadow.

After a moment, he took back the Stand: "It doesn't matter if I can't find it. A mere Tanjiro can no longer affect my plan."

He turned to the three bodies on the ground. Dio raised his right hand, and his blood vessels suddenly expanded, bursting out of his body like a living thing.

The densely packed blood vessels split in the air, turning into countless tiny branches.

The blood vessels squirmed and extended to the bodies of the three people. Dio's blood invaded their bodies and injected new vitality.

"Arise, my servants!"

After a moment, Gyomei Hirame, Minami Fushigi and Iguro Obanai opened their eyes.

"Master." The three of them knelt on the ground and bowed their heads in greeting.

Dio looked around: "With the power of the Demon Slayer Corps, plus my Stand ability, it is enough to deal with Muzan."

What we should consider now is how to find Muzan. If the other party keeps hiding in the so-called Infinite City, then our mission will never be completed.

"Let's go."

After thinking for a moment, Dio turned and left, followed by the other pillars and the zombies.

When Dio's footsteps completely disappeared, Tanjiro finally couldn't hold on in the crack at the other end of the deep pit and slowly slid down to the ground.

Excessive blood loss made his consciousness begin to blur, and the coldness spread from his limbs to his whole body, but he still held the Sun Blade tightly, and his knuckles turned white due to the force.

A cat next to him stuck out its pink tongue and gently licked Tanjiro's bloody cheek.

"Tsk, that's really troublesome."

Soon an impatient voice sounded from the darkness, and a figure appeared.

He crouched down and checked Tanjiro's injuries. "Your injuries are so serious. Didn't Tamayo-sama specifically order us to save you?"

The figure took out a cloth bag from his arms and sprinkled special medicine powder into it. The powder fell on the wound, making a slight hissing sound.

Then he carefully carried Tanjiro on his back, making sure the wound would not be damaged again, and left quickly.
Soon, Tanjiro vaguely felt himself being placed on a soft bed. There were rustling footsteps and the sound of equipment colliding around him.

"The injury is too severe. Ordinary treatment is no longer possible." A gentle voice came from a distance.

"Master Tamayo! You don't mean to..."

"There is no other way. Only by using that method can his life be saved."

"But that's too risky! What if..."

"There is no time to hesitate."

…………

Soon, Tanjiro's consciousness began to blur and he fell into a strange dream.

He saw the familiar home. Under the warm yellow light, the family sat around the dining table.

The mother gently served rice to everyone, Hanako smiled as she passed food to her younger brothers and sisters, and Nezuko was playing with her little sister.

The picture suddenly distorted. The warm light turned into a glaring blood color, and the figures of the mother and the younger brother and sister fell one after another, and the blood spread on the wooden floor.

"No!"

"Nezuko!" Tanjiro rushed forward and hugged his sister in his arms, "Why did it turn out like this!?"

But the next moment, an irresistible feeling of hunger surged from the stomach, the throat was dry and painful, and the tip of the nose was filled with the tempting smell of blood.

Tanjiro froze, he slowly turned his head and saw his reflection in the broken mirror.

It was a ferocious face, blood-red eyes, sharp fangs, and skin with bulging veins.

He turned into the being he hated the most - a ghost.

"No!"

Tanjiro woke up suddenly, gasping for breath, cold sweat soaking his clothes.

He looked around and found himself lying in a windowless room. The dim light of the oil lamp danced on the wall, illuminating the simple furnishings.

Tanjiro lifted up his clothes and saw that the wound on his abdomen had completely healed, without even a trace of scar left.

He remembered that he was severely injured by Dio, and his internal organs were shattered. He found the clothes beside him, put them on, opened the door and walked out. Yushiro was standing in the corridor, holding a bottle of potion in his hand.

"Mr. Yushiro!" Tanjiro paused when he saw the familiar figure, "Did you save me?"

Yushiro stopped, turned around and glared at Tanjiro fiercely. Before Tanjiro could speak, Yushiro turned around and strode away.

"Wait." Tanjiro was about to ask more when a familiar figure appeared at the end of the corridor.

"Ms. Tamayo!" Tanjiro exclaimed.

At this moment, Tamayo's face was even paler than usual, and even her lips had lost their color. She held onto the wall, her steps somewhat unsteady.

"Ms. Tamayo, what are you doing..." Tanjiro was interrupted by Yushiro before he could finish his words.

"If it weren't for saving you, how could Lord Tamayo become like this!" Yushiro shouted angrily, clenching his fists, his whole body trembling:

"Do you know how much Lord Tamayo paid to heal your wounds?"

Tanjiro stood there in a daze, looking at Tamayo with eyes full of shock and self-blame.

"Yushiro." Tamayo gently raised her hand, signaling him not to say anything more. She looked at Tanjiro and forced a smile, "Don't worry, I'm just a little weak, I just need to rest for a few days."

"Your injuries are too severe. Ordinary treatments can no longer save you. I just used some special methods."

"Special method" Tanjiro muttered these words silently, and the nightmare just now flashed through his mind.

That feeling of thirst for blood, ferocious fangs, bloodshot eyes. He raised his head suddenly.

"Could it be?" He stretched out his trembling hand and grabbed his chest.

The heart in the chest was beating abnormally slowly, and the blood vessels under the skin were more visible than before.

Tanjiro then rushed into the room and looked at the mirror.

"No" Tanjiro looked at himself in the mirror, his eyes widened in shock. He was very familiar with those eyes, they were the eyes of a demon.

He staggered back two steps until he stopped with his back against the wall. His legs could no longer support him, and he slowly slid down the wall and sat on the ground.

At this time, Tamayo appeared at the door, followed by Yushiro.

"I know this is hard for you to accept." Tamayo squatted down and gently held Tanjiro's hand: "But please believe me, you are still you. No matter what you become, your heart will never change."

At this time, Yushiro looked at Tanjiro's hand held by Tamayo from behind and clenched his teeth.

Tamayoshi continued to explain: "I used some of Dio's blood and mixed it with my blood, which allowed you to survive."

"Dio's blood?" Tanjiro was stunned.

"Yes." Tamayo nodded, "Dio's cells have amazing vitality and regenerative abilities. I combined them with my blood to create a special transformation method."

Yushiro interrupted from behind: "Lord Tamayo spent a lot of energy to complete this experiment. Now you are neither controlled by Muzan like an ordinary demon, nor dominated by Dio's will."

"Moreover," Tamayo paused, "the power brought by this method will far exceed that of ordinary humans. Your physical fitness, reaction speed, and recovery ability will be greatly improved."

Tanjiro clenched his fists at this time. He could feel an unprecedented power surging in his body, and every cell seemed to be filled with explosive energy.

"I can concoct some drugs to suppress your bloodlust," Tamayo continued, with worry in her tone, "but it will weaken the power you gain."

"No need." Tanjiro suddenly raised his head and his eyes became firm.

"What?" Yushiro frowned and looked at Tanjiro, "Do you know how dangerous it is to lose control?"

"Ms. Tamayo has already given too much for me." Tanjiro stood up, "The most important thing now is to stop Dio and Muzan. Since this power can help me achieve my goal, let me continue in this state."

At this time, Tamayo took out a small bottle from her sleeve, which was filled with dark red liquid. Tamayo handed the bottle to Tanjiro, and the blood in the bottle exuded a strange smell.

"This is the blood left by Dio."

Tamayo explained, "I will continue to study the characteristics of his blood and try to find a way to deal with him."

"Thank you, Miss Tamayo." Tanjiro bowed deeply, "Without your help, I might have..."

At this moment, he suddenly felt a burning thirst in his throat. It was a desire for blood, and Tanjiro took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

Upon seeing this, Tamayo immediately stepped forward to support him: "You need to rest now. It takes time to adapt to the new power. Stay here for a few days until you have full control of the power."

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

At the same time, in a palace somewhere.

Dio stood in the center of the hall, with a dense crowd of people below him, all of whom were high-ranking officials who had been transformed into zombies.

"Have you found the specimen?" Dio stood in front of the window, his eyes sweeping over the crowd kneeling on the ground.

He raised his hand, and the person next to him took out a drawing of a blue spider lily.

"Master, we have sent people to search for blue spider lilies all over the country." A man trembled and said, "But..."

“But what?” Dio turned around, a dangerous gleam in his eyes.

"This flower is too rare, and"

"Useless!" Dio kicked the man in front of him away. "I don't care what method you use, just find it for me! Mobilize all the manpower, and turn all of Japan upside down!"

He turned to the others and said, "Remember, burn the blue spider lily immediately after you find it, and bring back only one intact one. If you find someone hiding it."

A cruel smile appeared on Dio's lips: "Kill the nine clans!"

"Yes! Master!" everyone answered in unison.

Dio sneered in his heart. Although he didn't know why Muzan was looking for this kind of flower, he would definitely not let him achieve his goal.

In that case, put an end to his hope."
