Simultaneous travel: I am a talented person in all the worlds

Chapter 235 The Waters Run Deep
Consciousness, like something rising slowly from the deep sea, drags along fragments of broken memories.

The final moment of Mo Yu's lucidity in Demon Slayer is frozen at the instant after the body swapping—

In the blurry vision, I seemed to see the familiar faces of my grandparents, as well as the silver-haired woman with a unique temperament sitting next to me... According to the information in the group, that should be Feng Shayan, the girlfriend of the War Maniac.

Even a fleeting glimpse of her face, which he hadn't seen in person for over a year, was enough to stir up the softest and deepest longing in his heart.

However, the thought that his two elders should be safe with that unfathomably powerful "himself" around reassured him somewhat, and his chaotic thoughts subsided.

The light and shadow beneath my eyelids gradually became clearer, and I heard a subtle and rhythmic sound, like the rubbing of fabric or gentle breathing.

With a few trembling eyelashes, Gui Mie Mo Yu struggled to lift his eyelids.

My vision was initially blurry, as if covered by a thin layer of moisture. I blinked my dry eyes, and the light gradually focused, revealing a familiar, gentle profile.

Soft sunlight streamed through the window lattice, illuminating the woman's elegant pale pink dress and outlining her graceful silhouette.

She was looking down, her slender, fair fingers carefully tending to the white bandage on his right arm.

It's Kanae... She's alright... really... she's alright...

Having confirmed this, Gui Mie Mo Yu breathed a slight sigh of relief, and his tense nerves were finally able to relax a little.

That fierce battle, that desperate choice, that final, almost life-burning outburst... recalling it now still makes his heart pound and sends cold sweat down his back.

But looking at the gentle figure in front of me, safe and sound, it seems that all the pain, fear and sacrifice have become meaningful and rewarding!
Gui Mie Mo Yu subconsciously tried to move, but his body felt like it was falling apart, extremely sore, especially his right arm, which was throbbing with dull pain.

Even though the War Maniac had already restrained himself, that flick of his finger was still too much of a burden for him.

It seems as if there is some kind of curse in the dark, that no matter which world it is, whenever the War Maniac goes through a great battle, poor 'Little Right' is always the one who is injured the most.

"Ah, Mo Yujun, you're awake?"

The subtle movement was immediately noticed, and Kanae Butterfly looked up in surprise, her gentle, watery pale purple eyes brightening.

Only then did Gui Mie Mo Yu notice that her face was somewhat sickly pale, clearly indicating that her own injuries had not yet healed, and she had already begun to take care of him.

"How are you feeling? Is there anything that's particularly uncomfortable?"

Kanae stopped what she was doing, leaned forward slightly, raised her hand, and tidied a few stray strands of hair on his forehead.

As she drew nearer, a warm and clean scent, unique to her and mixed with the fragrance of herbs and faint flowers, lingered around the nose of Oni-slayer Mo Yu.

Those concerned autumn eyes were staring at him so closely, making him feel inexplicably awkward. He subconsciously wanted to look away; the distance was... too close.

"I...I'm alright..." Gui Mie Mo Yu lowered his gaze, which landed on her bandaged waist and abdomen. "Kanae-neechan, how are you? Are you badly injured?"

Kanae smiled gently, as if she had seen through his attempt to change the subject.

"I'm fine. It's just some superficial wounds and a little frostbite. I've applied some medicine and will be fine after a few days of rest."

Recalling the battle not long ago and his injuries, he sighed again, his tone tinged with a hint of reproach and lingering fear:
"As for you, Mo Yujun, you really went too far this time! Next time, you absolutely, absolutely must not take such risks again, understand?"

Demon Slayer Mo Yu slightly turned his head, shifting his gaze:
"understood."

This extremely perfunctory answer clearly showed that he hadn't taken it to heart at all.

Kanae was momentarily speechless with anger. She reached out and gently cupped his cheeks, turning his head back and forcing him to look directly at her.

"Look at me, Mo Yujun! I'll say it again, no! You're not allowed to risk your life like this again! Listen to me carefully!"

"I was listening carefully," Gui Mie Mo Yu blinked, looking completely innocent.

Seeing his expression, Kanae knew that ordinary words of advice wouldn't have much effect on him, so she simply emphasized her words:
"Then swear an oath to me!"

"Okay, okay, I swear to God..."

"wrong!"

Kanae, however, directly interrupted his subsequent perfunctory remarks.

He gently pressed his index finger against his lips, his eyes filled with intense seriousness.

"You're not swearing to heaven, you're swearing to me! Mo Yujun, you promised me you would never lie to me, right?"

Touching his lips with those soft, cool fingertips and forced to stare into those pale purple eyes, Ghost Slayer Mo Yu's heart skipped a beat, and in the end, he simply pretended not to hear.

Seeing Demon Slayer Mo Yu close his eyes, looking like a shameless idiot who said, "I was wrong, but I'll do it again next time," Kocho Kanae was both amused and annoyed, but mostly felt heartache and helplessness. "Sigh, you..."

Kanae tapped his chest helplessly, picked up the bandage again, and continued the work she hadn't finished, her voice trembling with a sob:
"It's always like this... always putting other people's safety before your own... But, Mo Yujun, have you ever thought about what would happen to me... what would we do if something really happened to you?"

Despite having his eyes closed, Mo Yu rolled his eyes behind his eyelids.

"What the hell? The only person I've ever cared about is you, okay? Everyone else? Maybe Ren counts as half, but as for the rest… I don't care if they die! As long as you're okay!"

"That's how it was during the trial, all to save Makomo..." Kanae listed his 'previous offenses'.

'Back then, the Hand Demon's claws were almost touching my face. It's like it would have let me go if I hadn't killed it. I was trying to save myself, okay! Makomo misunderstood, making it sound like I was really fighting the Hand Demon to save her...' Oni-slayer Moyu silently complained in his mind, refuting.

But as Kanae gently chattered on, his body completely relaxed. While enjoying this warm atmosphere, he also diverted some of his attention to the chat group.

[Demon Slayer: Thank you so much, everyone, for your tremendous help this time. (bowing and kneeling in gratitude.jpg)]

[War Maniac: It's nothing. But you'd better be careful; your world doesn't seem as simple as it appears.]

[Demon Slayer: Huh? What do you mean?]

[War Maniac: In theory, the extraordinary power in every world has an 'upper limit'.]

But the attack I delivered using your body surpassed the level of a Marked Pillar, and should be roughly on par with Yoriichi Tsugikuni, the world's undisputed powerhouse.

But I didn't feel like I had touched the 'limit of heaven', and I even felt that... if it weren't for the concern that your body couldn't withstand it, the power seemed to have a lot of room to increase.

This is a bit unusual.

[Demon Slayer (shocked): ?]

Regarding the claim that the power of the War Maniac's attack was similar to that of Yoriichi Tsugikuni, the top-tier Demon Slayer, Mo Yu believes it.

After all, he was someone who could take his body panel and kill Upper Moon Two with a single finger!
In the original work, Doma was quite imposing. His ultimate demise was due to his overconfidence. He never expected that Shinobu Kocho would be prepared to die, using herself as bait to accumulate far more wisteria flower toxins in her body than would be lethal.

Even though he was poisoned and his strength was greatly diminished, Doma still managed to overpower Kanao and Inosuke, who were the main characters' strongest fighters in the later stages of the story.

In the end, Kanao used her ultimate move, at the great cost of permanently losing one eye, to help Inosuke narrowly complete the decapitation.

If we draw a parallel with Kanao and Inosuke's performance in the final battle, the Berserker's strike, which could instantly kill a fully-powered Doma, would probably have a similar effect on the final boss, Muzan Kibutsuji.

Whether he'll die or not is unknown, but his head will definitely be chopped off.

At this moment, a group of heroes also appeared.

[Heroes: This world is indeed quite complex. The upper limit of breathing techniques should be 'marks,' but strangely, despite my talent and understanding of martial arts, after studying for several hours, I haven't been able to deduce how 'marks' are generated from your two breathing techniques.]

[Heroes: This is not right! Zhu's strength is at most at the first-class Qi Realm. Even if my mark can be strengthened tenfold, I will never be able to reach the threshold of the Celestial Realm.]

I am unable to unravel the ultimate secrets of such a high-level cultivation technique... either there are things within it that I cannot comprehend... or I am missing crucial core information.

Demon Slayer Mo Yu scratched his head. Was there even a question? A powerful figure whose very body was evolving towards the mythical path of the 'Sun God Body'.

The problem isn't with you, it's with the breathing technique I provided!

[Demon Slayer: I feel the problem might lie with 'Sun Breathing'. All five fundamental styles are derived from it. The fact that Flame Hashira's father suffered a complete mental breakdown and became despondent after seeing the records of his family ancestors suggests that 'Sun Breathing' contains something completely unique to it compared to other breathing techniques.]

He paused, then seemed to remember something else.

[Demon Slayer: Also, I thought about it carefully. Among the original Demon Slayers, Yoriichi Tsugikuni was the first to awaken his Demon Slayer Mark. And in the main story, the protagonist Tanjiro Kamado was also the first to awaken his Mark after initially mastering the 'Sun Breathing' technique. This is probably not a coincidence.]

[Heroes: Hmm~, 'Sun Breathing'? I'd like to see it sometime. As for the markings…]

'Those who develop markings will cause those around them to also develop markings, as if through resonance,' a point explicitly mentioned in the original work. It sounds somewhat like some kind of collective wisdom or 'intention,' something Qin Shi Huang would likely find quite interesting.

[Demon Slayer: Speaking of which, it seems like Qin's Moon hasn't been active at all today? What's he up to?]

[War Maniac: I know that. Judging by the timeline, he's probably busy scheming against Jing Ke, trying to 'send' him away so he can take control of Wei Mo.]

Then, according to his dark military strategy, he seized the opportunity to take advantage of the situation and win over his childhood sweetheart, Gongsun Li. Using Gongsun Li's connections, he then seized control of the entire State of Wei.

[Demon Slayer: ??? (Black guy with a question mark face)]

No, there's a cow here!!

The big boss in Qin Dynasty was actually Cao Cao?!
