As the supreme god, I choose to watch movies in the multiverse.

This being, which would be considered a supernatural or fantastical creature in most worlds, was standing inside the room. This 'ghost' had a robust physique and was inlaid with six drum-like objects.

The words "Xia Lu" are etched in his right eye, along with a cross-shaped scar that completely obscures the words "Xia Lu," making it look like a cross mark.

Before this ghost stood a mother and daughter trembling in fear. The mother held her daughter tightly in her arms, staring at the evil spirit with utter terror in her eyes.

"I...I can still become stronger. If I eat a little more, and a little more people, I will be able to return to 'Xia Lu'."

Repeating these words, the drum demon Kyōkai slowly walked towards the trembling mother and daughter.

Unlike humans, ghosts can grow stronger by consuming enough people. However, due to his innate talent, he has found it difficult to grow any further, which is why he was expelled from the Twelve Ghost Moons by the Ghost King.

However... Kyogai, yearning for recognition, will continue to eat people even after exhausting his talent, until he gains the approval of that person and becomes Lower Moon Six again!

The gradually revealed worldview made it clear to the audience outside the light screen that the world presented by the light screen was not an ordinary world.

At least from the description, there is a person in this world known as the 'Ghost King'. Although we do not know how strong he is, judging from the title alone, he is definitely a formidable character not to be underestimated.

Kasumigaoka Utaha: "Because you were abandoned by your comrades, you want to continue to grow stronger and rejoin the ranks? Ha, even the most hateful person has a pitiable side."

Conan: "Whatever his purpose, eating people to become stronger, this guy... is absolutely unforgivable."

First Pillar Tanjiro: "Man-eating demons... they can become stronger by eating people, masaka?"

In another Demon Slayer timeline, Tanjiro showed a look of surprise and disbelief. This description was far too similar to their world, and... wasn't that Demon King the murderer who killed his entire family?

"No...it's not time to be sure yet. I've never seen that ghost before; it might just be a coincidence..."

Tanjiro shook his head and focused his gaze more intently on the image on the screen. Although he couldn't yet confirm the accuracy of the information, he already had a benchmark in his mind.

Bishop of Destiny: "Man-eating demons? Since demons exist in that world, there must be organizations or individuals that are their nemesis..."

Eriri: "Hmm... If you ask me, the next plot development should be that Dio saves the mother and daughter and proves that he is not a bad person."

In the world of ordinary people, Eriri chooses to trust the judgment of the light screen image rather than Dio's villainous aura. No matter what, such an image would never choose a villain as the protagonist. Even if the other party is not as flawless as Alicia, he must have his own extraordinary qualities.

The evil spirit named Xiang Kai walked towards the pitiful mother and daughter, its eyes revealing a fierce look.

Although it wasn't rare blood, the blood contained in this mother and daughter was still extremely nutritious for ordinary demons, and would definitely be able to further enhance his strength.

Bathed in moonlight, the figure of Kyōkai, the Drum Demon, appeared exceptionally terrifying, his eyes revealing a thirst for power.

As the footsteps drew closer, the mother tried to throw things at Xiang Kai's burly body, but all that was scattered around were some discarded manuscripts and papers.

How could such a 'weapon', which even ordinary people cannot harm, possibly have any effect on the evil spirit before them? On the contrary, because of the great mother's resistance, Xiang Kai's eyes became even more ferocious, and his expression seemed to be somewhat distorted.

His expression suggested he was about to devour the poor mother and daughter.

Just then, as if whispering in the darkness, an unusually cold voice appeared in Xiang Kai's ear.

“wryyyy......”

In an instant, his gaze turned toward the window from which the sound had come, and there stood a stunningly handsome man with fair skin, blond hair, and blue eyes.

He was shirtless, with his hands behind his back, chest puffed out, displaying his perfect body proportions to everyone.

"Who are you!" Instinctively, Xiang Kai asked the newcomer. Putting aside the other party's strange actions, his cold and terrifying expression made Xiang Kai break out in a cold sweat almost instantly.

He had never seen such a terrifying person. Even his master, the legendary Ghost King, had never displayed such a suffocatingly cold and evil aura.

"Heh, it seems the timing is off, interrupting your meal," Dio said in his wicked yet magnetic voice, his tone utterly nonchalant.

His eyes were full of interest as he looked at Xiang Kai, like a child who had found an interesting toy. On the contrary, he didn't even give the attractive mother and daughter next to him a second glance.

"Answer my question, who are you, a member of the Demon Slayer Corps? Or someone else?" Dio's nonchalant attitude disgusted Kyogai, who was standing to the side. This arrogant attitude reminded him of the editors who had returned his manuscripts.

"How rude! Is it only when you talk to others that you use questions?" Dio's tone seemed to have cooled down a few degrees, indicating that he was quite dissatisfied with Hibiki's remarks.

Stepping into the room, Dio carefully observed his surroundings while maintaining a distance from Xiang Kai. Naturally cautious, he would not approach any suspected dangerous individuals casually.

Even though this corpse-man's physique was incredibly weak, Dio would never underestimate him. Of course... more importantly, Dio couldn't be sure who the vampire behind this corpse-man was.

The scattered papers and the upside-down ceiling and floor had caught his attention from the start, and his eyes, when he looked at Xiang Kai, already showed a sure determination to win.

With one foot planted on the discarded manuscript, Dio slowly said, "Don't worry about me, Corpse Man. Go and enjoy your meal."

With his hands behind his back, Dio completely exposed his physical weaknesses to Kyōkai. This arrogant gesture clearly touched Kyōkai's fragile heart.

"How dare... how dare you show such contempt for me!"

Xiang Kai's voice was filled with anger as he slammed his hand on the drum on his body. In an instant, the world inside the room turned upside down, as if the entire world had been reversed.

Dio was slammed heavily against a wall, and at the same time, a sharp energy struck Dio's body.

Because of the powerful malice and aura emanating from Dio, Kyōkai used 100% of his power from the very beginning.

His Blood Demon Art can cause the room to constantly flip and change, and can also release destructive claw-shaped shockwaves, so... as long as he is in this house, Kyōkai is almost invincible.

However... when the dust settled, Dio, who should have been lying on the ground, was nowhere to be seen in Hikaru's eyes.

"wryyy... what are you doing, you zombie...?"

A magnetic voice rang in his ears, and Dio, who should have fallen to the ground, suddenly appeared to Xiang Kai's left, and the distance between them was less than two meters!

Chapter 112 People live for peace of mind

When did this happen?

The audience outside the light screen widened their eyes.

Kyokai the Drum Demon's skills certainly attracted the attention of many viewers, but... as the main character of the film, Dio is always being watched by someone, no matter when or where.

Even though Dio had already been knocked down by the upside-down house, how could he still appear to Kyokai's left side at a speed invisible to the naked eye?

Is it simply about speed and reaction time?

Light screen image bullet comments——

Alicia: "I didn't see it clearly. Can you replay it? Humans can't possibly be that fast."

Bronya: "No need to replay it. Bronya has already had Heavy Bunny slow down the scene more than a thousand times. He seems to have disappeared out of thin air and appeared behind the demon without any transition, just like teleportation."

Kakyoin Noriaki: "Instant teleportation? Could this be Dio's Stand power?"

Dio: "Hmm, KaQin, are you investigating my Stand power? Even after learning that I, Dio, am the chosen one, you haven't given up on being my enemy?"

Somewhere in Egypt, Dio was especially excited to see himself appear in the holographic image. Fate had finally been on his side; all the efforts of the Joestar family had been in vain, and he, Dio, had won the final victory.

.........

Light screen image——

The sudden appearance of Dio left Xiang Kai bewildered, his lower iris eyes revealing shock and fear.

He kept clapping the six ghost drums embedded in his body with both hands. The more rapid the drumming, the faster the room spun.

However... after only five or six taps, his hands fell limply to his sides.

Cold sweat beaded on his forehead, accompanied by a look of astonishment; his eyes were fixed on Dio.

The kaleidoscopic rotation of the room was meaningless to him; the man before him... had completely suppressed his Blood Demon Art.

"ゴゴゴゴゴゴ"

Perhaps for artistic effect, such a symbol appeared in the light screen image. As Xiang Kai looked, a man named Dior... was standing in mid-air.

He crossed his arms and looked down at the evil spirit in front of him, his body radiating golden light from within.

"What's wrong? Are you not going to continue? Although it doesn't sound very good as an instrument, it's enough as a pastime."

This was the first time Kyogai had ever encountered such a terrifying opponent. There was no hope of winning, and even the so-called elite Demon Slayers of the Demon Slayer Corps did not instill in him even the slightest fear.

"I... have been defeated." Kneeling on the ground, Xiang Kai knew that continuing to struggle would only result in death.

His head drooped limply, and he pleaded, "You're a ghost too, aren't you? That lord forbids us from killing each other. These two are yours now, please spare my life."

Although he was very unwilling, the demon in front of him was far more powerful than any demon he knew, except for Muzan.

Even without the mark of the Twelve Demon Moons in his eyes, he was definitely a valuable subordinate of Lord Muzan, completely different from someone like him who had been abandoned...

As Hibiki thought to himself, the immense power that Dio displayed made him subconsciously think of the Demon King Muzan Kibutsuji. How much of the Demon King's blood would it take to become so powerful?

He didn't know what was in his heart, but... Dio was definitely a loyal follower of the Demon King, otherwise he wouldn't have such great power.

“…That sir?” Dio repeated the “that sir” that Kyokai had mentioned, a hint of amusement in his eyes. Under Kyokai’s shocked gaze, he said, “I see. So there are vampires like me in this world?”

"You...aren't you one of that man's subordinates?" Kyokai's eyes were filled with shock, because this was impossible. As long as they were demons, they would absolutely obey Lord Muzan. It was impossible for a demon to exist independently and not be controlled by Muzan.

Wait... he said 'the same kind of vampire,' could it be...?

Before he could voice his suspicions, Dio's calm yet dangerous voice rang in Kyōkai's ears: "You seem to have misunderstood something..."

Although his voice was magnetic, it sent chills down one's spine, like a sweet danger.

"There can only ever be one true emperor who stands tall in the world! Ko No Dior is the true emperor of this world!"

That's right, there's no need for two ultimate beings in the world. Dio is the most perfect vampire, and everything else is just his appendage.

"I am very interested in your abilities. Come into my arms, Dio, and I will grant you even greater power."

"Hasn't the 'master' you mentioned already abandoned you?"

"I'll give you one chance. Just take a few steps back, kneel down outside the door and show your loyalty to me, and I'll consider you my partner. Otherwise... if you think you've lived too long, then come forward."

The sweet yet dangerous voice kept echoing in Kyōkai's ears. He had originally thought that Dio would be Muzan's servant, but he never expected that... Dio would actually be the same as Muzan.

Being taken in as a subordinate by a demon king who is suspected to be similar to Muzan should be considered an honor for him.

But... Dio was too arrogant. Not only did he look down on him from beginning to end, he also trampled on the articles that Dio considered precious.

This crossed Kyokai's bottom line. Those things that the editor called trash were the very things he had painstakingly created. Even if it were Muzan, he would never allow them to be trampled on like this.

Although moving forward would mean death, Kyokai was already prepared for it. He still carried the fear of Dio, but for the sake of his obsession, he still moved forward.

However... the result presented is a trend of regression.

Dio crossed his arms and laughed, "Hahaha, backing down now? So you still want to be my companion, Dio."

Kyokai, the demon of the drum, was startled and took a second step forward with fear in his heart, only to find himself back where he started, leaving him completely bewildered.
