Anime/Manga: Bankai Starting with Demon Slayer

The most likely explanation is that your existence will lead to the appearance of the first 'Hollow' in this world!

A Void? Asuka knew of this terrifying existence, but had never seen it with her own eyes.

What does this have to do with me?

"Your body is a prison I created for you using the spiritual and physical particles of this world, which is the essence of the soul."

"You don't need to think about the specifics too much. Just know that if you continue fighting, your spiritual pressure will inevitably break through this barrier!"

“If you choose to be an ordinary person, you may never hear me say these words to you.”

The young man's expression was serious, a rare seriousness on his face: "But now, if you don't want this world to be destroyed, stop. You can't fight anymore!"

The bird fell silent.

It wasn't a sense of responsibility or a surge of mission to save the world.

He couldn't understand.

"But if I don't take action, many people will die. Is there no other way to solve this?"

"...I've been talking for so long, and you haven't listened to a thing."

"I heard that, but I still want to ask, is there really no way?" Asuka's gaze was very firm: "They are too weak. Even an Upper Moon demon moon can give them a hard time. If they were to face Muzan Kibutsuji, everyone would probably die!"

Seeing his resolute attitude, the young man fell silent.

After pondering for a long time, he offered an answer that made the bird's eyes narrow:

"...Then the only option is to construct a domain that can withstand the influence of your spiritual pressure."

"How do I do it?"

The young man frowned: "The moment you break through your limits, I will distort the surrounding space into a non-existent plane."

"Because of the lifting of the restrictions, your physical body may collapse, and you can only fight for a maximum of fifteen minutes."

"...Even so, forcibly interfering with the real world still carries enormous risks."

"Fifteen minutes. After that, no matter what happens, I will forcibly shut down the spiritual energy circuits in your body."

"After that... all I can do is watch..."

The young man's words echoed in the bird's ears, lingering for a long time.

"That's enough."

In reality, Muzan severed his own neck and struggled to recover from the head injury, escaping the bird's terrifying blade at the speed of light.

He's made up his mind: he'll split into two thousand pieces right now! Run for your lives!

But the next second, he froze.

He wanted to escape, but he was suppressed by some force and could not freely control the splitting of his flesh and blood!

Space is distorted.

Centered on the bird, an unreasonable sense of oppression swept out, instantly reaching the area.

At this moment, it doesn't matter whether it's the brothers watching the battle, the Demon Slayer Corps members struggling, or the ravens flying in the sky.

All living things in nature felt difficulty breathing; a heavy, suffocating feeling gripped their throats!

Then, waves of irresistible fatigue and dizziness surged in like a tide, trying to drag their consciousness into an endless abyss of darkness!

"What is this feeling? Is it Muzan's Blood Demon Art?" Shinazugawa Saneya reacted violently, plunging his hand into his hand without hesitation, trying to stay conscious through the intense pain.

But he soon discovered that the dizziness was not a physiological reaction, but a deep exhaustion of the soul.

Thump... Thump...

One after another, muffled groans and the sound of kneeling rang out.

Even the mighty pillars could not completely resist the soul pressure originating from a higher level of existence, and they were unable to restrain themselves from kneeling on the ground, desperately resisting the exhaustion deep within their souls.

Shinobu Kocho was sweating profusely, her eyes filled with worry as she looked at the boy who was now standing in mid-air.

"Asuka... what exactly are you...?"

His skin was burning, his muscle tissue was peeling away, and his entire body was even beginning to become blurry and transparent.

Aside from Tanjiro's special vision that allows him to see souls, only the Pillars who have opened the Transparent World can still clearly see Asuka's figure.

That greyish-white feathered robe, surprisingly, evoked a sense of unease, a feeling that seemed to emanate from the darkness of death.

His aura was becoming increasingly terrifying.

"Wu-Can, pay for all the sins you have committed."

Asuka released her Zanpakuto, and after a gentle breeze swept by, she let it turn to ashes in mid-air.

His lips moved silently.

The next second, whether it was the bloody battle on the battlefield of the Infinite Castle or the Tokyo citizens nearby who were shocked by the battle of the Infinite Castle, they all witnessed a miracle.

Boom!

The night sky over Tokyo was lit up.

The blazing sun suddenly appeared in the sky, releasing its intense and dazzling brilliance!

Chapter 113 The sunlight is intense, and all things are revealed.

The air was churning, and the first snow of the winter night evaporated in an instant.

The wooden remains of the Infinite City ruins spontaneously combusted without any source of fire, and the iron signs on both sides of the street were so hot they could burn the skin!

"Aaaaaahh ...

A piercing scream erupted first from the shadows.

Those lower-level demons lurking in the shadows, trying to find a chance to survive, turned into blood in pain and screams the moment they came into contact with this golden-red light!

Their flesh melted away rapidly, like wax blocks thrown into a furnace, leaving them no room to struggle.

The blazing sun seemed to have an extremely destructive power over them; no evil spirit could withstand its force.

This resulted in certain special allies in another corner of the battlefield also suffering annihilation.

Yushiro let out a muffled groan. His delicate face began to crumble under the bright light, veins bulging on his forehead and dark red blood overflowing from his eyes.

As a ghost, even if he were on the side of justice at this moment, he could not go against his biological instincts—

He was afraid of the light, the light that was stripping away his life.

On the other side, Komashi, who calls himself the Fist Pillar, is in an even worse situation.

He was already on the verge of death because of the deadly battle with Wuchan, which resulted in him being injected with too many toxic cells.

Under the scorching sun, his body began to emit wisps of smoke, and it started to disintegrate at the cellular level.

“…Bastard.” He gritted his teeth, trying to punch away the ever-present heat wave, but his arm began to peel off as he tried to swing it.

"Inosuke! Hurry!"

Tanjiro let out a roar, disregarding his own injured body, and lunged forward.

Although the oppressive force emanating from the blazing sun made his body feel like it was on fire, he was, after all, human and did not experience excessive pain.

He endured the dizziness and drowsiness, and with superhuman willpower, stood firmly in front of Komashi.

"Charge forward like a pig! Charge forward like a pig! What's with this blinding light?!" Inosuke retorted, not to be outdone.

The beast's intuition told him that if he didn't stop this force, the doctor's henchman, the demon child, would die.

His muscular back, exposed to the scorching sun, quickly turned bright red, but it also solidly revealed the dark skin of Yushiro Shizuka.

But the changes are not over yet.

As the momentum continued to rise, the spiritual pressure within the bird's body finally tore open a corner, spreading outwards like a tsunami.

The weight of the air is increasing, and every inch of skin feels like it's being weighed down by a thousand pounds, making blood flow sluggish and slow.

"This...feeling...."

Kanroji Mitsuri felt a wave of dizziness before her eyes, and her consciousness gradually sank into the golden-red ocean, finally becoming the first to faint.

Not only her, but all the wounded pillars and the remaining team members could not hold on any longer and fell down like harvested ears of wheat.

Inosuke and Tanjiro collapsed onto their two demon colleagues, shielding them from the sunlight with their own bodies.

This was not an intentional attack; it was merely the aftershock of a bird's inability to contain itself.

The human body is ultimately unable to withstand the wrath of the gods at such close range.

"This is impossible!! This kind of thing could never be the work of human power!"

Wu Can's voice was trembling uncontrollably.

His bloodshot eyes were now filled with bloodshot veins as he frantically searched through the ruins for every shadow he could find to hide in.

Their proud regenerative abilities, their demon blood that could rival their own for a thousand years, and their eternal vitality all seemed utterly ridiculous at this moment.

Because that blazing sun seemed to have eyes; no matter which ruin or rubble Wu Can hid in the shadow of, its light would instantly penetrate the barrier and shine directly on his skin.

This is the spiritual pressure storm that bursts forth from Asuka's body; it is the convergence and extension of his will.

Wuchan's exposed skin was already extensively ulcerated, and her flesh was beginning to disintegrate.

This burning sensation is more terrifying than simple sunlight; it is a pain that directly burns the soul.

He tried to dive underground, but the ground beneath his feet instantly crystallized from the high temperature, becoming as hard as iron.

He tried to break free and escape, but his body resisted...

Or rather, he was pressed down on by the pressure of the bird, not giving him a chance to split!

Muzan Kibutsuji is trapped in Asuka's Prison of Lies!

Under this blazing sun, the condition of the birds is equally worrying.

Thin streaks of blood were seeping from the corners of his eyes, nostrils, and even between his fingers.

The body is collapsing.

[Kid! Ten minutes left! Stop pretending!]

The sound of a raccoon robbing echoed in my heart, accompanied by the muffled sound of blood vessels bursting inside my body.

"Let it end, Mukwan."

The bird's voice was soft, yet it rang out like a death knell in Mu-chan's ears.

He slowly raised his hands.

At that moment, the blazing sun in the sky suddenly contracted, and all its radiance collapsed in an instant before the bird.

He loosely clenched his right hand and placed it against the web of his left hand.

Within that intense golden-red light.

Extend your arms and pull horizontally.

A sharp, piercing cry, capable of tearing through space, rang out.

Sizzle—!!

Sparks flew everywhere, and the space trembled.

A long katana, measuring 1.5 meters in length, with a golden-red blade and a hilt engraved with ferocious patterns, was drawn from thin air!

The blade was unlike ordinary iron; it was as hot as molten lava and as turbulent as a storm, with thunder and lightning flashing around it from time to time.

The moment it appeared in the human world, all the light around it seemed to be absorbed by this knife.

The sky, which had been as bright as day just moments before, was plunged into darkness once more.

Only the long, golden-red katana still gleamed with dazzling light.

“What…what is this…”

The moment he saw that knife, he felt a real sense of death he had never experienced in the past thousand years.

He believed what Ubuyashiki said.

There really is a God in this world.

Once this blade falls... once someone is struck, even the right to reincarnation will be taken away...
