I'm in an American comic book, and all my teammates are main characters and bosses.

Chapter 15: You, go and kill Tang Sanzang and his disciples!

The Lapis Lazuli of Genji...

As the enemy lost control of the surrounding space with the sound of the jade axe, a thoughtful look appeared in Wolf's eyes. The power of the Fountainhead Ruri originates from the Sakura Dragon, whose power granted him an immortal dragon's blood. He had initially thought this power was merely a curse that brought disaster, but now it seemed that to survive in that place called the Abandoned Universe and welcome the return of the Divine Child, he would inevitably need to demonstrate his value and ability.

Only in this way can the princess grow up without worries after her return and be reunited with him!

Thinking this, the wolf's eyes grew increasingly cold. Maximizing its senses, it swiftly locked onto Muzan Kibutsuji, who was some distance away, separated by countless doors. Then, it kicked down a door and charged relentlessly towards Muzan's location.

Meanwhile, Ron, who had been forcibly transferred to the Infinite City, pressed down his hat on his head expressionlessly.

The triangular hunter's hat with its brim folded inwards is a classic workshop attire. The withered feathers are a symbol of this hat and a tribute to a legendary hunter.

Although he still wore a playful smile, a closer look would reveal that Ron's eyes were now filled with indifference and meticulous thought.

The Infinite Castle, Nakime's Blood Demon Art, a close attendant of Muzan Kibutsuji. The size of the space is unknown, but it is directly connected to Nakime's abilities. If Nakime's power is strong enough, then the size of the space could extend to infinity.

There is no concept of coordinates within the Infinite Castle. Instead, it is a domain centered on Nakime herself, which can continuously expand according to Nakime's will.

Nakime's fighting strength is weak, but the Infinity Castle's ability to change according to her will is extremely powerful. When her strength is sufficient, Nakime alone can exhaust the stamina of several Pillars.

However, as it stands, Nakime's grasp of the essence of this space is still very superficial; she can only make the most basic use of it, such as gravity manipulation and spatial teleportation.

Although its destructive power is weak, Nakime's ability is actually the one that interests Ron the most—in fact, it interests Ron more than Muzan Kibutsuji.

Most Blood Demon Arts are unique, meaning even Muzan Kibutsuji cannot use the Blood Demon Arts of other demons. However, as the Demon King, Muzan Kibutsuji can decide the life or death of other demons with a single thought.

But as I said before, this won't help Ron at all. Wolf alone is enough to kill Muzan Kibutsuji... Having already embarked on the journey to the Dragon's Return, Wolf's power is even greater than the Wolf in the game's storyline who single-handedly wiped out all the key figures and high-ranking officials of Ashina.

Thinking for a moment, Ron paused, first transforming into a sonar "Hee~", then looked at the Dieffenbachia behind him and said with a light laugh, "The Dieffenbachia doesn't want the wolf to live in fear, does it?"

Upon hearing this, Benyouko's expression changed slightly, but she quickly calmed down and said, "Master Ninja is very strong, there's no problem, Master Ninja will take care of that enemy."

Upon hearing the words of the Transcendental Child, Ron nodded and then said, "This space is very interesting, so I plan to discuss some academic issues with the owner of this space. However, this space is quite special, so you need to stay close. Spaces that are too far from me are under the control of the enemy, and venturing into them might teleport you directly into the enemy's midst."

Upon hearing this, the Peripera, dressed in a snow-white kimono, nodded somewhat timidly and followed Ron step by step—but the scene looked rather bizarre, especially since the Peripera was heavily pregnant, which made Ron look even less human.

Forget it, they weren't even human to begin with.

Meanwhile, in the center of the Infinite Castle, feeling herself lose control of both areas at the same time, Nakime's hand trembled slightly.

Seeing this, he squeezed out some of the pieces of flesh from his body, laboriously completing the regeneration of his body. Kibutsuji Muzan glanced at the chunks of flesh stained with the light of glass, his gaze solemn yet mixed with a hint of fear. But soon, Kibutsuji Muzan carefully concealed this fear.

Turning his gaze to Nakime beside him, Muzan Kibutsuji said coldly, "What's wrong?"

"Two people have disrupted my control over the Infinity Castle." Upon hearing Muzan Kibutsuji's question, Nakime lowered her head and calmly replied:

"One of them is the ninja you are currently fighting, and the other is the man in black and the pregnant woman in white who are traveling with that ninja. They each used different methods to break free of my control over their respective areas, and I cannot keep them constantly on the run by manipulating the Infinite City."

She paused, then a serious look appeared in Nakime's eyes: "They've started moving, and the area that broke free from control is moving along with them."

"Stop them, change the structure of the Infinite City."

"...I can't do it." Faced with Muzan Kibutsuji's order, Nakime shook her head, sweating profusely, after a moment of silence. "Although the methods are different, the moment they begin to move, the space around them will slip out of my control along their path. I can only manipulate other spaces to pile up in their inevitable path, but I can't stop them from moving forward."

"Damn it!"

Upon hearing Nakime's words, Muzan Kibutsuji's gaze shifted slightly. He then looked at Nakime with a glint in his eyes and said cruelly, "Then send me out of the Infinity Castle as far as possible, and then send them to the other side."

Upon hearing this, Nakime quickly guessed what Muzan Kibutsuji meant.

Under Nakime's control, the coordinates of the Infinity Castle can constantly shift within the material realm. This includes the Upper and Lower Moon demons, all bearing Nakime's Infinity Castle mark. With a single command, they can swiftly appear within the Infinity Castle from anywhere in the world. In the Swordsmith Village arc, Upper Moon Two, Doma, requested that Nakime send him to the village as well, but Nakime refused and returned him to her residence.

Now, it's clear that after realizing the Infinite City couldn't exhaust Ron and the others, he no longer intended to linger in this dangerous place. Instead, he planned to use the Infinite City to teleport himself far away and then figure out how to deal with these two troublesome individuals.

For example—wait for them to die of old age!

Dig up their graves! Whip their corpses! Steal their offerings!

It remains to be seen what method Muzan Kibutsuji will come up with to deal with Ron and Wolf, but one thing is certain: Muzan Kibutsuji is truly afraid.

Whether it was Ron or Wolf, what they showed Muzan Kibutsuji was far more than just sheer power—at least, in Muzan's eyes, even if they were strong, they were only at the level of Yoriichi Tsugikuni. But the problem was that the methods they displayed were completely unheard of by Muzan Kibutsuji.

It's not just about swordsmanship and physical prowess. More importantly, it's about the endless array of techniques: the shuriken that gleams with a blue light, the blazing white flames, the katana made of ordinary iron that prevents the user from regenerating, the ability to prevent Nakime from controlling the Infinity Castle, and a past little known even a thousand years ago…

Each and every one of them, any one of them, would have been enough to plunge Muzan Kibutsuji into a prolonged state of vigilance and even fear. And now, for some unknown reason, they all erupted at once!

Muzan Kibutsuji didn't know the reason, but what it was didn't matter anymore. At least, Muzan Kibutsuji could clearly feel that the fear brought by this unknown was suffocating him.

Thinking this, Muzan Kibutsuji turned his gaze to Nakime beside him, and said coldly, "What are you all standing there for? Hurry up!"

Hearing Muzan Kibutsuji's angry rebuke, Nakime's forehead was covered in sweat. The biwa in her hands also produced many chaotic noises during the process. But even so, the surrounding space remained completely unchanged.

The prolonged silence made Muzan Kibutsuji realize something was wrong. He then turned his gaze to Nakime beside him and demanded sharply, "What happened! Tell me!"

"I...I can't open it." Nakime's voice betrayed a hint of panic and fear. Facing Muzan's command, she stammered, "I expanded the Infinity Castle to its maximum extent, accidentally absorbing many civilians from the surrounding area. Too many voices and consciousnesses appeared within the Infinity Castle, making it impossible for me to distinguish one from another. At that time, I wanted to release some useless individuals, but I already realized I couldn't freely release or absorb others into the Infinity Castle!"

As she spoke, Nakime gritted her teeth and said, "It's that guy in black! It must be him! This feeling of not being able to control the Infinity Castle started with him! As long as we kill him, everything will be resolved!"

Upon hearing Nakime's words, Muzan Kibutsuji couldn't help but clench his fists, a solid killing intent flashing in his eyes—If I could kill him, would I need to call you?!

But now is not the time for reckless behavior—the Infinity Castle is built in another dimension, and even Nakime only gained the ability to connect to and control it to a certain extent through her Blood Demon Art. If Nakime dies here, then with the annihilation of the Infinity Castle, no one knows where all the life within it will disappear to!

Even though he desperately wanted to strangle Nakime with his own hands, Muzan Kibutsuji could only suppress his killing intent and, after a moment's thought, coldly asked:

"Who are their targets?"

"...That ninja's target is you."

Nakime swallowed hard and said, "Although they are far apart, his straight-line target is always you. The black-clad hunter's target, however, is me; she said it herself."

Hearing that only one person was pursuing him, Muzan Kibutsuji relaxed slightly. Ignoring Nakime's thoughts, Muzan coldly said, "Move me to a distance; I'll draw that ninja away."

"You guys, go and take care of that hunter!"

Huh? Me?

Upon hearing this, Nakime nodded after a moment of silence, then played her biwa and teleported Muzan Kibutsuji to the other side of the Infinity Castle.

Just as Nakime sensed, upon discovering Muzan Kibutsuji's presence on the other side, Wolf didn't hesitate much. After only a brief pause, he immediately turned and chased after Muzan. Nakime, however, didn't relax at all.

Muzan Kibutsuji can sense whether a demon has betrayed him and can directly control the vision of other demons through his dominance. However, Muzan Kibutsuji is currently too preoccupied with his own life-or-death crisis to notice what Nakime is seeing.

Nakime can create numerous eyeball clones, each resembling an eyeball with tentacles growing from the back. These clones have no combat ability; the tentacles are solely for movement. In a real fight, even a child could easily crush an eyeball with one hand.

However, Nakime is able to share vision with these eyeballs. And now—

Holding the small gadget in his hand, Ron's face was full of a peaceful smile: "Nekome, right? I've come to find you. Remember to protect yourself; I have a lot of knowledge about this space that I want to discuss with you."

While Ron was still speaking, on the other side, through the squad voice chat, Wolf's voice came from the other end.

"The target escaped, leaving behind a person who seems to be the controller of this strange space."

"Go after Muzan Kibutsuji." Ron nodded in response to Wolf's question. "I have something to discuss with her... The Divine Child is with me, so don't worry about her safety."

"Okay, thank you."

Upon hearing Ron's words, Wolf nodded, then changed his stance and headed in the direction where Muzan Kibutsuji had moved.

While communicating with the wolf internally, Ron's body also smiled as he looked at the eyeball before him, saying calmly, "I know about your past, but I have absolutely no interest in it. However, your ability is quite interesting, so I plan to pack this 'local specialty' up and take it back to my world."

"Of course, I know that if you even have the thought of betraying Muzan Kibutsuji, you will die instantly. So don't worry, just do as he says and send all the prepared demons here."

"..."

Upon hearing Ron's words, Nakime couldn't help but swallow, letting out a slightly abrupt "gulp" in the deserted center of the Infinite Castle. Without saying much, Nakime simply focused her mind and then began to play a series of incredibly dense notes on her biwa.

The next moment, all the sealed doors in front of Ron opened, and more doors appeared on both sides of the road. Emerging from those doors were not only hordes of low-level demons used as cannon fodder to exhaust their energy, but also a few leading demons whose eyes were engraved with the word "Upper Moon"!
