Anime/Manga: Bankai Starting with Demon Slayer

But who can predict what bad things will happen in this world?

What if we encounter a situation like this again in the future, where we are forcibly suppressed by some kind of world law, or even fall into a desperate situation where our spiritual power is completely frozen?

It's just that the overall military strength in this world is not high, and everyone is relatively friendly; otherwise, it would be incredibly dangerous.

What if he could extract a portion of the core power and forge a backup outside his body?

So even if his main body is completely locked down, this backup might become his last trump card to turn the tables.

Thinking of this, Asuka could no longer suppress the impulse in her heart.

After returning to his room, he immediately sat down cross-legged and completely immersed himself in his body.

What are you going to do?

With the ignition of the Hellfire, Adnes, who had previously lost contact, was able to reconnect.

He watched the bird with curiosity, accompanied by the white wolf, and could sense that the bird was performing an extremely dangerous maneuver.

“Let’s do a little craft.” Asuka calmly replied in her heart, “Don’t forget, I’m an expert in this area.”

Are you referring to that wooden rice ball carving?

"...I'll say it again, it's a cat."

The next second, his consciousness directly penetrated into the depths of his soul.

The core, formed from the power of hell, was pulsating continuously, with the auras of the six realms intertwined and swirling within it, flashing with six different shades of red light.

Asuka took a deep breath and probed her consciousness into the six realms of hell, beginning to draw out countless red threads from that immense power.

The process was very slow. Those powers had already merged with his Creation Core, and trying to separate a part to form independently was like trying to pluck pieces of bone from his body—it was incredibly painful.

But Asuka didn't care about this discomfort. He patiently peeled away the power from the depths of his soul and gathered it in his palm.

The red thread gradually took shape in his hands, transforming from a blurry halo into a gradually clearer outline.

At first, the outline was very distorted, consisting of either a grotesque skull, sharp bone spurs, or blood-soaked chains...

There's no way around it; this is the most primitive aesthetic and form of hell.

"It's so ugly, so ugly! Change it for me!"

The immense spiritual pressure of the flying bird crashed down, instantly crushing those ferocious phantoms.

He had already decided that the ring was to be given to Shinobu Kocho, so how could it be made into such a disgusting skeleton shape?

He closed his eyes, and the image of that woman in a feathered kimono with butterfly patterns, gently waving her arms under the wisteria trellis, floated into his mind...

The blurry outline in the palm began to transform, gradually losing its violent edge, its color deepening little by little, and finally turning into a restrained and noble purplish-gold luster.

This creation, formed purely from the laws of hell, slowly stretched in mid-air, eventually taking the shape of a slender and elegant ring.

The ring band is not a smooth design, but was carefully carved by the bird into two intertwined wisteria vines.

The vine's texture is incredibly lifelike, with warm firelight flowing through every vein.

On the front of the ring, the core power is transformed into a tiny butterfly about to take flight.

The butterfly's wings had a translucent, crystalline quality, with a flickering golden-red flame trapped inside.

This wisp of fire has no destructive power whatsoever, only endless warmth and a sense of protection.

When the last bit of the power of the law was injected into it.

This ring, forged entirely from the power of hell, was finally fully formed in the bird's palm.

The bird could clearly feel that the pulse within that small ring resonated with its own soul.

It is an extension of one's own power, a backup of power that exists independently outside of this mortal body.

As long as he has this ring, even if he is sealed away again, he can temporarily mobilize the power to support the battle.

perfect.

Chapter 849 Wedding...Wedding Ring?!

In addition to the idea of ​​backing up this power, Asuka also had deeper considerations.

After going through so many dangers, he wanted to protect Shinobu Kocho's safety as much as possible, at the very least ensuring that she would have the ability to escape when facing opponents of the Superhuman level.

Therefore, we must make Shinobu Kocho wear this ring.

Feiniao clutched the purple-gold ring in her palm and strode through the corridor of the Verde base.

He moved very fast; his baby-like short legs created afterimages as he tumbled around, knocking over two mechanical arms that were moving crocodiles along the way, startling the modified crocodiles in the laboratory who shrank into a corner.

After searching in vain, he could only follow his intuition and run outwards along the base's passageway.

The exterior of the underground base is a spacious courtyard-style platform, and further away is Namimori's amusement park; the scenery is quite nice.

A gentle breeze rustled through the greenery, creating a soothing sound.

Asuka found Shinobu Kocho next to a bench in the courtyard.

The sunlight gave her butterfly-patterned feather cloak a soft golden edge, her purple hair swayed gently in the breeze, and her crystal-like eyes sparkled with a relaxed and gentle smile.

Surrounding her were Kyoko Sasagawa, Haru Miura, and Bianchi.

They came with Tsuna, Gokudera, and Ryohei, but it seems they've already been taken away by Reborn.

With no pressure of fighting, they gathered together and discussed some lighthearted girl topics with Shinobu Kocho.

"So, that newly opened dessert shop, their strawberry mille-crepe cake is absolutely divine!" Xiaochun exclaimed excitedly, her eyes sparkling. "Xiaochun, you absolutely have to take Shinobu with you to try it next time!"

"Hai, that sounds really nice." Kyoko cupped her cheeks, revealing a sweet smile that melts hearts. "Shinobu-san has been taking care of everyone all this time, so she should relax and have something sweet."

Shinobu covered her mouth and chuckled softly, looking tenderly at the two innocent and lively girls: "Thank you, Kyoko, Haru."

"If we have time later, I would be happy to go with you."

Bianchi, sitting to the side with a cup of espresso in her hand, maintained the elegance of a mature woman.

She took a small sip, looked at Shinobu Kocho and said, "Miss Shinobu is truly a role model for us women. She is gentle, beautiful and strong. She is truly remarkable."

Asuka watched this heartwarming scene from afar, and her originally hurried steps unconsciously slowed down.

Yeah, Shinobu Kocho spends all her time either taking care of those kids at the house or running around with me...

He hadn't seen Shinobu Kocho so unguarded, chatting with her close friends about desserts and daily life in a long time.

"Oh, it's Asuka-kun."

The perceptive Shinobu Kocho was the first to notice Asuka's gaze, and the smile on her lips deepened.

Upon hearing Shinobu's voice, Kyoko, Haru, and Bianchi all turned around.

Shinobu Kocho stood up and walked over gracefully, her gaze falling on his somewhat embarrassed face.

"What's wrong, Asuka?" she asked softly. "Is Chrome feeling any better?"

Asuka, who was initially very anxious and had been mentally rehearsing how to give the ring to her the whole way, was filled with anticipation.

Seeing so many eyes staring at him made him feel a little embarrassed.

This man, who never blinked when faced with life-or-death battles, even those capable of overturning the entire world, was now unusually embarrassed.

He subconsciously pulled his hand holding the ring back a little, his eyes somewhat unfocused: "Ah... um, Chrome is all right now, she's resting."

Bianchi's sharp eyes immediately caught Asuka's hand pulling back and the subtle atmosphere between the two.

As a worldly and mature woman, and especially as a "poisonous scorpion" who prioritizes love, Bianchi immediately understood.

She put down her coffee cup, calmly stood up, and took the hand of a little girl who was still curiously looking around.

"Huh? Miss Bianchi, what's wrong?" Xiaochun was completely confused.

“I suddenly remembered that there seem to be some ingredients in the base’s kitchen.” Bianchi said calmly, leading the two girls back away without making a sound. “Xiaochun, Jingzi, let’s go prepare dinner tonight.”

"Hai? But we were just chatting with Shinobu..."

"Adults have many important things to deal with alone, so children shouldn't ask too many questions."

Ignoring Koharu's protests, Bianchi very tactfully pulled them back inside the base, giving Asuka and Shinobu enough private space.

After watching Bi Yangqi lead the two of them and disappear around the corner of the corridor, the surroundings became completely quiet.

Only the gentle breeze rustling through the courtyard remained.

Asuka looked at Shinobu Kocho in front of her, slowly extended her right hand, which had been behind her back, and opened her palm.

The exquisite ring of perfect harmony lay in the center of his palm, radiating a purple-gold light.

“This…” Asuka said seriously, “Here you go.”

Shinobu Kocho looked down at the exquisitely designed ring that exuded a mysterious power, her eyes filled with surprise.

However, she did not immediately reach out to take it, but instead quietly watched the bird, seemingly waiting for him to continue.

Asuka picked up the ring, gently took Shinobu's hand, and placed it in her palm: "With this ring, no matter what happens in the future, no matter how far apart we are, we don't have to worry."

"As long as you think of it, this ring will resonate with me... I will immediately sense it and come to protect you!"

After hearing Asuka's words, Shinobu Kocho's fingers curled slightly as she gripped the ring, which still carried his warmth.

A faint blush rose on her cheeks, and her usual sly smile disappeared, revealing a rare girlish shyness.

"Just..." She bit her lower lip, her eyes lowered, "Is that all?"

Asuka stared at Shinobu's slightly flushed cheeks, her brain racing, seriously considering what other functions the ring might have that she had overlooked...

A few seconds later, the bird's eyes lit up, as if it had solved a huge problem.

"Oh! You really reminded me!"

Feiniao clapped her hands, thought for a moment, and then added with a serious expression, "With this ring, you can freely enter and leave Hell! You no longer need to worry about any soul burial rituals, and..."

Bang!

Before he could finish speaking, he received a solid blow to the top of his head.

Shinobu Kocho had already raised her hand at some point and unceremoniously smacked his head.

Asuka covered her head, looking at the girl in front of her with a bewildered expression.

Shinobu Kocho, whose cheeks were originally slightly flushed, now looked completely helpless and embarrassed.

"You really are..."

Those eyes gleamed with a mixture of reproach and amusement, revealing a dangerous smile as she struggled to suppress the urge to poison the other person.

"What an idiot... I thought it was a belated wedding ring..."

"Wow--!!"

In a distant corner, three girls who were secretly watching gasped in surprise, causing Asuka and Shinobu to look in that direction at the same time.

Xiaochun stuck out her tongue awkwardly, scratching her head sheepishly, "...So that's what Miss Shinobu and Mr. Baby's relationship is like. I'm so surprised, I'm so sorry..."

"This is love."

Bianchi nodded in agreement, wiping away tears from the corners of her eyes.

Only the bird was left bewildered in the wind.

Chapter 850 Travelers from Parallel Dimensions

The fact that the bird ignited the flames of hell gave Xingyan O, who was rushing to create a device to remove the curse, great confidence.

On the main control panel, Verdi repeatedly calculated the data of Asuka's eighth attribute, fire, his face filled with undisguised excitement.

"This is too perfect... The peak energy of the deathly flames emanating from this guy has completely exceeded my expectations..."

Verdi's voice trembled: "This powerful energy, capable of transcending the limits of life and death, will surely fill the last missing link in the model!"

Reborn, who was sitting on the corner sofa and silently wiping the lizard Leon's body, looked up and asked with his usual smile, "So, the device to lift the curse of the Rainbow Children is finally showing some promise?"

"It's more than just a lead!" Verdi opened his arms as if embracing a brand new era: "As long as the flame wavelength of the eighth attribute is incorporated into the core equation, it will only take a few more days at most for the first prototype to be completely completed!"

"Our curse is finally coming to an end!"

Reborn paused for a moment, then put Leon back on the hat.

He walked to the control panel, glanced at the complex charts that ordinary people could not understand, and then made a decision.

“In that case, I will inform Scully and Colonello, and I will also contact the Giglionero family…” Reborn’s gaze was deep, revealing little emotion.

"All Arcobaleno, assemble in Namimori immediately."
