Crossover Anime: Starting with Bankai from Demon Slayer

Chapter 205 The Man Who Makes His Wishes Come True

"The underlying principles are quite different... Right now, you're like a walking wish-granting machine."

"You desperately want that little girl to become stronger, that mother to have the ability to protect herself, and that they to survive this war."

"And so, the world responded to you."

"The power within you has begun to unconsciously interfere with reality, forcibly distorting cause and effect, turning the impossible into the possible."

"It's like giving them a cheat code."

This result was unexpected by Asuka.

He looked down at his hands, completely unaware that he had been unconsciously influencing those around him all along.

"Then... is this harmful to them?" This was Asuka's biggest concern.

"As it stands, apart from slightly overdrawing future potential, there's nothing seriously wrong. After all, if you die, you won't even have a future." The young man shrugged, looking completely unconcerned.

Asuka breathed a sigh of relief, her gaze becoming complicated: "Now that you're awake, I have many questions for you."

He asked urgently, "What exactly is going on with this Holy Grail War? Why are there Hollows transformed from Shinigami? And..."

""

"Stop, stop, stop, one at a time."

The young man waved his hand, interrupting the bird's series of questions.

His expression suddenly turned serious: "Feiniao, listen up. This time, you're really in big trouble."

"trouble?"

"What do you think you're participating in? A trial for heroes? Or a miracle to fulfill your wishes?"

The young man said coldly, "That so-called Holy Grail has long been broken."

"9

"It's broken?" Asuka was taken aback.

He personally rolled out of the magic circle of the Heaven's Cup, so he naturally knew that the situation inside was not good, but he couldn't explain the specific reason.

"That's right. In the Third Holy Grail War about sixty years ago, the cup was contaminated by something called Angra Mainyu."

"It is a collection of curses that gather all the malice in the world, a manifestation of humanity's original sin."

The young man waved his hand in the void, and a scene appeared before the bird's eyes.

It was a huge golden cup overflowing with black mud.

The black mud churned and roared, with countless distorted human faces wailing within it; just one glance was enough to send chills down one's spine.

"The Holy Grail now is not a wish-granting machine at all, but a hole connecting to hell."

"Whatever you wish for, it will be fulfilled in the most twisted and malicious way."

"You want world peace? It will kill everyone."

"You want the dead to come back to life? It will turn the person you want to resurrect into a living corpse that only knows how to kill."

"Remember that little girl's wish? If she wanted the whole class to get a good night's sleep, they would probably all become vegetable and never wake up. That's how wicked she is."

"This..." Feiniao felt a chill creep up her spine.

It turns out that this war was rotten to the core.

"If that's the case, then what's the point of fighting for it?" Asuka asked, puzzled. "Would we risk our lives for such a piece of junk?"

"Because, with the exception of a very small number of people, most people don't know the truth."

The young man said sarcastically, "It's pathetic that they're like moths to a flame, sacrificing their lives for that illusory miracle."

"As for the Hollowfied Shinigami you mentioned... they are pitiful people who have survived to this day because of your influence..."

""

"If it weren't for the variable that brought Shinobu Kocho into the picture, he would have left that world long ago. You only have yourself to blame."

At this point, Asuka suddenly realized a problem.

He stared at the black-haired youth in front of him, his eyes filled with doubt.

"etc...

'

"Then why do you know so much?"

Asuka frowned, her body involuntarily tensing up: "Weren't you always inside me since you were little?"

"Your memories should be consistent with mine... I've never heard of any Angolan Manuel, nor have I ever been to this world..."

'

"Where did you find out about these things?"

From the early days in Rukongai to the later world of Demon Slayer Corps, this young man always seemed to know many things that Asuka didn't.

The black-haired youth did not panic when faced with the bird's questioning.

He half-opened his dark eyes, simply watching the birds in flight, his deep gaze seemingly concealing endless secrets.

After a long silence, he slowly spoke.

"You and I are one, and that will never change."

He turned around, his back to the bird, and looked at the white spirit butterfly fluttering in the void.

As for how I know...

"6

"Perhaps it's because I've seen too many futures... or perhaps it's because some special encounter gave me this information. You will know, but not now."

The young man turned away, ending the conversation.

"Now, most importantly, I must warn you of two things."

His expression carried a hint of warning: "First of all, the Holy Grail War—you must keep my warning firmly in mind. Don't harbor any thoughts of using the power of the Holy Grail; it will only make you suffer more losses than gains."

"Furthermore, because of this interdimensional journey, the power of 'Wish' within you has been mixed with fragments of the Holy Grail's malevolent intent, and is becoming somewhat out of control."

"What does that mean?" A sense of foreboding rose in Asuka's heart.

The young man pointed to the spirit butterfly.

"Just like Shinobu Kocho and her friends."

"Because of your influence, their souls were extracted from their original world after death and appeared in the Soul Society, which should not exist."

The young man took a step closer, looking directly into the bird's eyes.

"Your power is dangerous; it can create miracles, but it can also bring disaster."

"We do not yet know what kind of changes will occur to the souls you have influenced, and now this power has been mixed with malevolent malice."

"But if you don't want to repeat the same mistakes—like dragging that little girl Sumire Kamado into Rukongai...

"Don't get too close to anyone in this world, don't develop too deep a bond with them, and especially don't have that obsessive feeling of 'I absolutely have to save them.'"

"otherwise...

'

The young man's voice turned icy and chilling.

"When you leave this world, they will likely be captured by your willpower and fall into the spacetime rift with you."

"At that time, I can't guarantee whether they will live or die, or whether they will turn into some kind of monster."

The bird stood frozen in place.

He remembered the trusting look in Violet's eyes, and the courage that Haruna displayed in protecting her daughter.

If, because of your own actions, they become wandering ghosts in another world...

"I understand." He nodded.

"very good."

Seeing that the bird had taken his advice, the young man's expression softened slightly.

"Remember, you are just a passerby. Finish your war, find your way back, that's what you should do."

"As for the people of this world... that is their own destiny."

As the young man spoke, the surrounding chaotic void began to collapse, and light once again filled the field of vision.

"Now, let's prepare to welcome our guests."
