Game Merchants Starting from the Ninja World

"I'm just an observer listening to your simple account of your experiences, and I can already sense that something is wrong. Haven't you felt anything after living for a thousand years?"

He didn't believe it at first either.

It wasn't until that godlike game merchant spoke of it himself and showed it to everyone that...

All arguments are pale and powerless.

"This is because of me, the Demon Slayer Corps."

Kibutsuji Muzan took a deep breath.

He couldn't explain it.

Even if he said that fate couldn't exist, after hearing Orochimaru clearly and logically recount his experiences in the Demon Slayer world,

He couldn't help but start to have doubts.

Is it really just a coincidence?

"If we follow Orochimaru's logic, Yoriichi Tsugikuni is like a messenger of fate, created specifically to clean up and tidy up this flawed product."

Muzan Kibutsuji's gaze was unfocused.

Even if he managed to escape the pursuit of fate, he would hide in the shadows until Yoriichi Tsugikuni died of old age.

However, the other party still passed down the method of killing himself and the breathing technique.

The Demon Slayer Corps was weak.

With Demon Slayer Corps members constantly appearing to hunt demons, theoretically, even using the most rudimentary methods, several hundred years should be enough to find the Demon Slayer Corps' lair.

But ironically, despite possessing the Twelve Demon Moons, he has been unable to find the strongest creature on the Demon Slayer Continent.

So, is it really true, as Orochimaru said, that his death was predetermined by fate?

A strange sense of resentment and anger welled up inside Muzan Kibutsuji.

His entire body began to tremble violently, like waves, and started to become deformed and twisted.

"No, this shouldn't be happening!"

"If everything is governed by fate, then what is the meaning of my existence?"

Muzan Kibutsuji's hoarse voice

It emanated from a constantly expanding and distorted mass of flesh.

His greatest fear was death.

Similarly, if even the meaning of existence is revealed to be a process like that of a puppet on a string, what difference is there between a self that has lost its meaning and death?

Perhaps it was the memory of Yoriichi Tsugikuni that disturbed his emotions.

Perhaps it was because Orochimaru, who was stronger than him, confidently uttered the prophecy that he would definitely be destroyed.

And the various new changes that occurred in the Demon Slayer world after the arrival of the Reincarnation Game left him bewildered and panicked.

Anyway,

Muzan Kibutsuji's emotions are currently in a state of extreme confusion and complexity.

There is no such thing as a life necessarily having meaning.

Orochimaru's calm voice reached the ears of the bewildered Muzan Kibutsuji.

His voice is deep and slow, possessing a natural charm that makes people unable to help but believe him.

"But if you keep living, you'll always find a chance to break free from your fate."

"It's like you accepted the game's invitation and appeared in the Grand Forest."

"Just like when I happened to meet you."

Orochimaru swung his necromancer's staff.

A dense aura of death permeated the distorted flesh and blood, absorbing all the uncontrolled dark energy surging within.

"Come, become my subordinate."

"If you're not content to be the wind that turns the windmill, then surpass those windmills chosen by fate and take control of your own destiny."

Muzan Kibutsuji, lost and confused

The external body was almost turning into a dead infant, but Orochimaru pulled out the original body that was buried deep in the flesh and blood.

Kibutsuji Muzan raised his head.

Looking into those indifferent golden snake eyes, and hearing the other party's nonchalant words, as if he could break the shackles of fate with a flick of his wrist.

A sense of defeat welled up inside me.

Envy.

Having been a ghost king for a thousand years, he felt ashamed and inferior to the other.

Fang Yi, who was still focused on the Demon King and Orochimaru, showed surprise and thought to himself:

"Orochimaru, is he trying to extend his reach into the Demon Slayer world? What a huge ambition."

The Fire Empire is currently under blockade by the four nations, preventing it from expanding further and even facing the possibility of being breached.

The ninja world has run out of ideas to break the deadlock.

I originally thought,

Orochimaru will, just like before, abandon the Fire Empire, go into hiding, and establish a small force similar to the Sound Village.

But unexpectedly, the other party would turn their attention to another world.

First, he came into contact with the Straw Hat Pirates from the One Piece world, but found it wasn't a good fit. Now, he happens to have encountered Muzan Kibutsuji from the Demon Slayer world.

Under normal circumstances,

Orochimaru wouldn't waste words with the Demon King who was being used as experimental material.

The fact that he said those words already fully expressed his attitude.

"That's true. The Fire Empire, which has already launched its nationwide ninja program, will produce an unimaginable amount of reward points once it's fully established."

"It's not like the Sound Village, where things can be discarded and exchanged at will."

Orochimaru, who rules the Fire Empire of the Ninja World.

Even if the output needs to be shared with the new nobles like the Hyuga clan, a considerable amount of reward points can still be obtained.

His in-game value has reached the limit for a Tier 1 player.

One million reward points.

It's worth noting that even in the vast and wealthy world of One Piece, which has practically swallowed up the wealth of the four seas, the Celestial Dragons Im and the Five Elders, who consider themselves gods, have not reached the limit of one million reward points.

Orochimaru, however, achieved this level of power by controlling a region of the ninja world.

In essence

It is a method of exploiting the consciousness of the ninja world, which will incur the ninja world's disgust and be targeted by fate.

Therefore, the Fire Empire will be besieged.

However, the ninjutsu of the Ninja World Academy contains an origin, and the victors in battles in the pirate world can devour the origin of the losers. This is a rule that has been set since the birth of the world.

It cannot be easily changed.

Just like the consciousness of the Demon Slayer world, it guided the birth of Muzan Kibutsuji through destiny, wanting to create a perfect life to help its world advance.

However, Muzan killed the doctor who helped him, thus failing to become a perfect being.

Even if the Demon Slayer consciousness wanted to clean up the flawed product recycling source, it couldn't directly violate the world's rules and take action. It could only spend a large number of reward points to guide the birth of Yoriichi Tsugikuni.

But Muzan Kibutsuji is still alive and well a thousand years later.

of course,

Without external interference, the constant targeting of the entire world's consciousness would mean that even if one managed to escape once, they would still be wiped out by the relentless onslaught of power.

Just like Orochimaru, who used swift and decisive methods to kill nobles and daimyo and establish the Fire Empire, he was repeatedly ambushed by various wandering samurai, wandering ninjas, and ninjas from the four countries in less than a year.

This is the price of exploiting the consciousness of the ninja world.

It's like the natural disaster caused by Im and the Five Elders forcibly exchanging reward points that exceeded the limits that the One Piece world could bear.

These are all punishments and counterattacks from the world's consciousness.

Chapter 302 The Ghost King Used as a Meat Shield

"impossible!"

Although Muzan Kibutsuji has personality flaws...

But it is also because of his sensitivity and flaws that he is unable to trust or submit to anyone.

In his eyes, surrendering was no different from handing over one's life to Orochimaru, and he would never agree to that.

He would rather gamble that the fragments from his self-destruction wouldn't be completely devoured by Orochimaru's undead creatures than agree to Orochimaru's request.

Feigned submission?

He himself possessed the ability to control ordinary demons, and he was worried that Orochimaru would use the same methods against him.

"You, who cannot even overcome death, are unwilling to be my subordinate?"

Orochimaru was surprised, not expecting Muzan Kibutsuji to be so wary. He laughed and said, "In that case, buy the life you cherish from me."

"500,000 reward points."

It's no wonder that a cowardly soul could have such a strong will to live was chosen by a game merchant.

Indeed, no player should be underestimated.

"I can't get it out."

Muzan Kibutsuji looked troubled.

Upon hearing that Orochimaru was willing to spare him, a desire to survive ignited in his eyes, but upon hearing about the astronomical sum of money offered to buy his life, his vision blurred.
