Anime/Manga: Bankai Starting with Demon Slayer

He could feel a warm current flowing back into his body along the lines of the mist pacifier.

The shackles that had bound his soul, preventing him from growing even an inch taller, were being peeled away layer by layer.

A pale blue mist billowed from his body, accompanied by the sound of his clothes being stretched open as his body swelled up...

The face that had been hidden under the hood gradually revealed the mystery and cold beauty of an adult sorcerer.

It was only at this moment that A-Gang and the others outside the arena belatedly realized that Mamon was actually a woman!

This made Tsuna and Gokudera, who were very worried about Boon, turn their heads away somewhat embarrassed, and could only judge the situation inside the room by the sound.

Even the usually gentle and composed Feng frowned deeply at this moment.

Fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. He took a deep breath, and his blood and qi surged violently like a rushing river.

His originally short body began to lengthen, and his long black braid, which originally reached his ankles, was suspended in the air as he grew taller, quickly regaining the gentle and unfathomable demeanor of an Eastern martial arts master!

Reborn, Colonello, Verdi...

Within a very short period of time, the seven Rainbow Children all underwent their own physical transformations!

The physical seal that had suppressed them for decades was drained by the flames of hell, and the life force accumulated within their small bodies surged out like a volcanic eruption.

Muscles become fuller, bones grow taller, and meridians are reshaped!

Seven figures that were originally only the size of infants.

Under the interplay of the seven-colored flames, they straightened their bodies one after another, once again revealing the peak posture belonging to the world's seven strongest people!

The bird standing in the very center of the rainbow cycle is also undergoing changes in its body.

The immense spiritual power that had been restricted by the black and white pacifiers was now being rapidly channeled back into his spiritual meridians through the seven tubes.

Every meridian was trembling, and every inch of flesh and blood was responding to that long-lost sense of fulfillment.

His heartbeat was steady and strong, and the six chains deep within his spiritual core simultaneously lit up red, cheering for their king.

The childishness faded, and his upright posture and deep features reappeared.

As his spiritual power increased, the power he could inject into the prototype became increasingly terrifying!

Asuka's eyes burst forth with golden-red divine light, pouring her surging spiritual power into the black and white pacifier without reservation!

"Smash it, this damned curse!"

Buzz—!

Having received a massive infusion of spiritual power from the bird, the already rapidly spinning Rainbow Cycle burst forth with unbelievable brilliance once more!

The seven-colored flames were no longer separate halos, but merged into a colorful light curtain, enveloping the black and white pacifier at its core.

It forms a perfect energy field that never goes out, is self-circulating, and is self-balancing!

The prototype emitted an unparalleled burst of intense light from its center!

The light was pure and intense, yet without the slightest aggression, washing over the entire space like a newborn sun.

Under the bright light, I involuntarily closed my eyes.

As the intense light gradually faded, all the roar and storm subsided.

On the central pedestal, the seven-colored flames continued to flow slowly, swirling around the black and white pacifier at a steady pace like a star ring.

They no longer draw life force from anyone, nor do they emit toxins, thus forming a completely self-sufficient and eternally independent system.

The rainbow cycle is complete!

This means that for the long years to come, no one in this world will need to bear the cruel curse of the Rainbow Children!

The fishy talk was savage and the plot was mad....

Today, it has come to a complete end.

In the center of the bright light, the bird stood quietly.

Because of the drastic change in his body size, his original childhood clothes were already damaged, but he just made a casual move—

Whoosh!

A vast amount of golden-red spiritual energy rapidly condensed around him, transforming into a well-tailored robe with black and gold patterns along the edges, which was lightly draped over his broad shoulders.

Asuka flexed her wrists, feeling the surge of spiritual energy within her body, and let out a long sigh.

He turned his head to look at Shinobu Kocho, who was standing on the sidelines watching him with a smile, and gave her a confident smile:

"Everything is under control."

Chapter 857 Rebirth

(BGM: Katekyo Hitman Reborn, DIVE TO WORLD, CHERRYBLOSSOM)

For the next few days, the skies over Namimori were exceptionally clear.

After breaking the curse of the long years, the Rainbow Children gradually returned to their own lives.

Vilti, who had secretly built a huge research base underground in Namimori Town, decided to disband his temporary laboratory as soon as the curse was lifted.

He packed and sealed the glass jars filled with various high-precision instruments and specimens of unknown organisms, and loaded them onto a private cargo plane bound for Europe.

His research institute, located on the outskirts of Milan and equipped with the world's most advanced facilities, awaits his next groundbreaking experiment that will revolutionize human understanding.

"As expected... magic and souls, in the end, are nothing more than some kind of advanced physical law that has not yet been fully explained by current science..."

As Verdi watched the aluminum alloy metal boxes, each marked with a strict serial number, being lifted into the cargo hold, he suddenly muttered something out of the blue.

He looked at the part of the data belonging to the Technology Development Bureau that Nie Yinmeng had given him to copy in his hand, his eyes filled with a complex desire to explore.

“But it’s no fun if you know the answer beforehand…” He casually burned all the data in a fire and strode towards the plane: “Knowledge is only interesting when you use your own brain to figure out the answer.”

Unlike Verdi's decisiveness and straightforwardness.

The atmosphere at an open-air cafe next to Namimori Station was rather subtle.

Under the eaves of the window, a tall and slender figure sat quietly in a wicker chair.

She wore a large, deep purple cloak with the brim pulled low, obscuring most of her exquisite and aloof face, with only her fair skin and delicate red lips faintly visible on her chin.

It was Mammon, the viper, who had regained her original beauty and tall figure.

At this moment, Mamon's eyebrows were slightly furrowed as she rapidly swiped her long fingers across the screen of the smart tablet.

On the screen were strings of dazzling numbers.

That was her astronomical amount of assets spread across dozens of secret bank accounts in Switzerland, the Cayman Islands, and the Vatican.

Logically, seeing the enormous wealth in his account, this former Rainbow Child would surely let out a greedy and gleeful giggle.

But at this moment, as Mamon stared at the string of cold numbers, his eyes, hidden in the shadows, were filled with emptiness and confusion.

Over the long years, she single-mindedly took on all sorts of dangerous assassination missions, frantically amassed wealth, and was meticulously frugal to the point of being almost stingy...

The fundamental reason is not simply to satisfy material luxury.

Her obsession with making money stemmed from her desire to find a way to break the rainbow curse.

Whether it's purchasing forbidden ancient books, hiring top-notch technical teams, or searching for legendary mystical items, each of these requires massive amounts of money to support it...

Money was once her only bargaining chip against fate and its curses.

But now, the curse has truly been lifted.

She didn't spend a single gold coin from her account, nor did she use any of the favors she had painstakingly accumulated.

The shackles that had plagued her all her life, reducing her to the state of an infant, shattered just like that.

Feeling the warm blood flowing smoothly through his body and his healthy adult limbs, Mamon sat there, momentarily at a loss, his heart filled with an indescribable emptiness.

Boom boom boom—!

Just as Mamon was staring blankly at the screen, a roar like that of a wild beast, the sound of a twin-cylinder motorcycle engine violently shattered the tranquility of the café.

Mamon frowned and looked back.

A hardcore modified cruiser, painted with a wild purple hue and skull details, came to a stop on the side of the road outside the cafe with a stylish drift.

Sitting in the car was a tall, muscular young man dressed in a black stunt motorcycle leather jacket, with a flamboyant purple cape tied behind him.

The young man deftly removed his helmet, revealing a head of fluffy purple short hair and a somewhat arrogant face. He was none other than Skull, the immortal being who had also regained his adult male body.

He tossed his purple hair, hung his helmet on the handlebars, put one hand on his hip, and struck what he thought was a cool and dashing pose, shouting at Mammon by the window, "Hey!! Mammon! Look over here! The weather's absolutely fantastic today, isn't it!"

"My newly modified tank has just been tuned. How about we go for a ride along the seaside highway in Namimori? The wind feels amazing!"

After speaking, Skull patted the spacious and comfortable back seat of his motorcycle, his eyes sparkling with anticipation and eagerness.

Faced with Skull's grand invitation, the other customers in the open-air café cast strange glances at him.

"...Idiot."

Marmon quietly turned off his tablet and placed a stack of coins under his coffee cup as change for payment.

Immediately afterwards, a faint purple ripple appeared in the space around her.

The next second, her figure vanished silently from the rattan chair like a wisp of purple mist.

"Huh?! Wait! Mammon?! Where did he go?! How did he run away again?! At least answer me, damn it!"

Skull stood frozen in place, pointing at the empty seat and wailing, drawing stares from passersby who thought he was an idiot.

Namimori Town, inside Namimori Shrine.

The ancient cherry trees rustled in the breeze.

On the wooden floor of the shrine's side corridor, Feng Zheng sat cross-legged quietly.

He, who had remained in a childlike state for many years, has now transformed into a gentle, refined, and exceptionally handsome young master.

Her long, jet-black hair was neatly braided at the back of her head, and her eyes were clear and deep, exuding a sense of transcendence and tranquility.

On the stone table in front of him, a pot of freshly brewed green tea was steaming gently, emitting an enticing aroma.

In an open space not far away, his newly accepted apprentice, Sasakawa Ryohei, was shirtless, sweating profusely as he practiced his punches.

"Push to the limit! Today I'll throw ten thousand punches to the limit!"

Liaoping brandished his bandaged fists while letting out a loud, bell-like shout.

Feng picked up his teacup, took a small sip of hot tea, and looked at his energetic apprentice with a gentle smile.

For the wind, which is used to calm and gentle breezes.

A cup of tea, a gentle breeze, and the vibrant energy of young lives working hard under the sun – that's the best life.

Meanwhile, familiar noises could be heard from Namimori Amusement Park, the largest and most bustling amusement park in Namimori Town.

"Clonello! What...what kind of outfit is this?! It's so embarrassing!"

A suppressed, shy scolding rang out in front of the shooting booth at the amusement park.

It was Lar Mich who spoke.

Having regained her original mature and tall figure, she was wearing a simple casual military jacket, and her dark blue short hair looked particularly dashing in the sunlight.

At this moment, she stood with her arms crossed over her chest, her cheeks flushed with a suspicious blush, glaring disapprovingly at the man beside her.

Beside her, Colonello, who had also regained his tall and muscular physique, was wearing a camouflage vest, revealing a pair of strong, iron-like muscular arms.

At this moment, Colonello is holding a super pink giant bear plush toy that is taller than a person, and he is even wearing a cat ear headband that he bought at the amusement park.

"Hahaha! What are you afraid of, Lal! This is an amusement park! Now that everyone's curses have been lifted, of course we have to have a blast! Let's have some fun!"

Colonello grinned and shoved the huge pink plush bear into Lal's arms, then wrapped his arms around Lal's slender yet supple waist.

"Look, I just hit ten moving targets with ten bullets, and that boss's eyes almost popped out of his head! This bear is my trophy for you! It's awesome!"

Lal was bumped right into by the giant plush bear. He smelled the familiar scent of Colonello, a faint blend of tobacco and sunshine, and his originally stiff expression finally couldn't be maintained for long.

She turned her head away awkwardly, muttering under her breath, "What a childish guy... Who wants something that only little girls like..."

Although she still refused to back down verbally, the hands holding the plush bear tightened their grip slightly.

Having escaped the curse of the Rainbow Children, Colonello and Lal are playing and laughing like an ordinary couple in the Namimori Amusement Park, which is filled with laughter and joy.

It can be considered as making up for the youthful years that were once stolen by curses and missions.

Chapter 858 Flying Bird's Grand Plan

Meanwhile, on the lawn of Namimori Town Park, a light and elegant figure sat quietly on the grass, gazing at the distant scenery.
