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

Chapter 21: As the hospital director, of course I must work for the benefit of the patients!

"Wow, so the Mortal Blade can be used as a primary weapon too?"

Seeing the wolf's Dragon Flash, Ron stepped out from behind it. Gazing at the lingering black and red sword energy in the air, his eyes were filled with amusement and excitement.

In the game, the Mortal Blade's sole purpose is to perform the Mortal Slash. It deals decent damage and has extremely high poise reduction, making it a god-tier skill for fighting bosses. However, aside from that, Wolf primarily uses the Kusanagi as his main weapon in combat, and the Mortal Blade is more often used as a ritual blade to execute undead, rather than a combat weapon.

In response to Ron's astonishment, Wolf remained silent for a moment before simply saying, "The Mortal Blade puts mental pressure on the user. If used as a primary weapon, unless one is a dead person returning from the underworld, one will fall into the path of Asura."

Upon hearing this, Ron nodded in understanding.

This explains why Wolf doesn't actively use the Mortal Blade—besides having a large amount of life force drained the moment he draws the blade, prolonged use would turn him into a madman who only knows how to slaughter.

This coincides with the "Shura Ending"—the so-called Shura Ending, where Wolf, after completing a series of missions, obtains the Mortal Blade, returns to the castle tower, chooses to pledge allegiance to his adoptive father, and follows the ninja code, successively killing the Fire Keeper—or rather, Emma the Wolf Keeper—and the elderly Isshin Ashina. After this, Wolf's adoptive father returns with the Mortal Blade: Opening Gate and Genichiro's head, believing himself to become the new ruler.

Finally, he was stabbed through the heart from behind by the wolf and died. At that time, the wolf was the Asura Demon in this world view. The Asura Wolf is also recognized as the strongest wolf in the game's storyline - because at that time, the wolf's arm was burning with the same flames as the previous generation's Asura Vengeful Demon, and the two Mortal Blades that could kill the wolf were in the wolf's hands.

The power of the vengeful spirit originates from the resentment of the dead. In other words, the more people the wolf in the Asura ending kills, the stronger it becomes. The only two weapons capable of killing the wolf are in its hands. If the gods in the world-building do not interfere, the wolf could easily wipe out an entire world single-handedly... In fact, even if the gods intervened, they might not be a match for the Asura wolf.

After all, even before the wolf transformed into a demon, it was already capable of making the Sakura Dragon weep.

As he pondered this, Ron also watched the battlefield before him with great interest.

There is no doubt that Muzan Kibutsuji is completely dead, as the system interface already displays the words "Mission Completed".

Under the influence of the global virus, Muzan Kibutsuji escaped for a short time and created a large number of deaths in order to regain his power.

Now, looking at these corpses, some of which had been devoured of flesh and blood, and others of which had been drained of blood, Ron felt no discomfort whatsoever. Instead, he walked up to examine them one by one with great interest.

Well, as expected of Muzan Kibutsuji, he always targets the high-ranking officials and nobles! Just from the clothing left on those corpses, Ron could tell that those who died here were either ministers or nobles. As for the one in the lead, if he wasn't mistaken, it looked like some kind of imperial seal?

Noticing Ron examining the corpses, a shadow of sadness crossed Wolf's eyes, and he murmured, "My mistake..."

"I don't care, DIO~ The mission is to wipe out the global virus, not to protect hostages. If they die, they die. I don't know them anyway."

As he spoke, Ron readily got to work, lifting the corpses one by one and putting them down in front of the wolf. Before long, the corpses in the room were neatly arranged in a six-character shape.

Looking at his work, Ron nodded in satisfaction—arranging corpses to look like corpses, he really was a damn artist!

Thinking it over, Ron contacted Nakime directly, saying, "Return the body to where it came from, and remember to keep it as it is. Don't ruin this hard-won aesthetic!"

The so-called contact with Nakime was actually just speaking directly. Through the eyeball familiar that followed Ron, Nakime heard Ron's request. Although she was puzzled, she still obediently did as she was told. The reason she gained Muzan Kibutsuji's trust was not only because of her abilities, but also because she was silent enough to do whatever he asked without any opinions of her own. Anyone who didn't know better would think she was mute.

And Muzan Kibutsuji...

Nakime has already witnessed Muzan Kibutsuji's death.

As Muzan Kibutsuji's familiar, Nakime should have died the instant Muzan died. However, while Wolf was fighting Muzan Kibutsuji, Ron used a blood-collecting vial to give Nakime a new source of energy.

While Nakime's appearance and abilities haven't changed much, she is fundamentally different from before. Her most obvious characteristic is that the Nichirin Blade and sunlight no longer possess any terrifying lethality against her. Furthermore, Muzan Kibutsuji's blood curse has been directly negated by Ron's Bloodborne Curse.

Logically speaking, Nakime's transformation shouldn't be over yet, and she should have already gained some of the opportunities to advance to a higher level, like traditional hunters. However, given the current situation, it's unlikely she'll achieve that advancement in the short term. For now, let's consider her half a member of Ron's familia.

Speaking of which, if Nakime is his familia, then whose familia is he? The Blood Princess of the Moon? Or the Daughter of the Universe? Surely it can't be those two things, Algomila and the Goddess of Rebirth? As for the Orphan of Kos, that's a completely different matter…

Thinking it over, Ron didn't dwell on it too much. After seeing the corpse in front of him disappear, he said to the wolf beside him, "Alright, is there anything else? If not, let's get ready to go back."

The wolf silently shook its head, indicating that it had nothing else to do to linger. Meanwhile, upon hearing Ron's words, after a brief hesitation, Nakime softly inquired, "Master, may I leave with you?"

Although she didn't know where Ron came from, the moment she overcame her weakness to sunlight after completing the blood healing, Nakime felt that she had become Ron's subordinate... or perhaps a member of his kin? At least, that's what the message in her blood told her.

Although she didn't know what this meant, perhaps it was just another curse suppressing Muzan Kibutsuji's curse, Nakime didn't care much—she had never been particularly loyal to Muzan Kibutsuji.

We're all just working for someone else; it doesn't matter who you work for, right? Besides, the new boss clearly has better career prospects...

To this, Ron simply replied, "Of course I'll take you, but it's not up to me. We'll see. If that doesn't work, you can transform into Blood Echo and take me away too."

As he spoke, two dark red drops of blood appeared in Ron's hand, spinning rapidly. Although they were just drops of blood, Nakime knew that they were extracted by the new boss from the souls of Upper Moon One, Kokushibo, and Upper Moon Three, Akaza, respectively. She just didn't know the principle behind it, or whether the souls still retained any vitality.

Thinking it over, Nakime simply nodded silently, then fell silent, waiting for Ron to give his final answer.

Since they already know that their life and death are in the hands of others, there is no need for Nakime, a working-class person, to struggle anymore.

Let fate decide.

Click on "Task Settlement." First, have Nakime dismantle the Infinite Castle, returning all the lives inside to their original locations. Then, you'll see the final result of the mission.

Mission Name: [World Virus Eradication Campaign]

Mission Location: Demon Slayer

Task status: Completed

Task rating: B

Task Rewards: 50 System Coins, Personal Shop officially opens, and unique items from the Demon Slayer universe will be randomly added to the shop.

Note: The rating system, from top to bottom, is: S, A, B, C, D, E. The rating criteria are a comprehensive evaluation of the execution method, execution speed, and impact on the world line. Furthermore, all task performers are included in the overall calculation during the statistical analysis; if one person's contribution is too low, the overall final rating will be lowered.

Upon seeing the mission results, Ron nodded thoughtfully.

According to the system's explanation, the result of this mission should have been an A. However, due to the low overall contribution of the Transcendental Child and the fact that Muzan Kibutsuji devoured a large number of high-ranking officials in order to restore his strength, the final mission score was reduced to B.

Meanwhile, realizing that perhaps her low profile was the reason this had happened, Beniraka's expression changed slightly, and she murmured, "I'm sorry, it's all because of me..."

Upon hearing the words of the cleric, the wolf instinctively wanted to say something. In response, Ron silently raised his hand, shook his head, and said to the system, "Appeal."

【Speaking.】

Upon hearing the system's reply, Ron stated frankly, "The 'Changing Raptors' are not combat personnel. In the original world view, they are more often logistical production personnel providing special supplies. I believe it's unfair to demand the same performance from logistical personnel during missions as combat personnel."

"In this mission, our main task was to kill Muzan Kibutsuji. We didn't suffer any damage in the process, which meant that the chances for the Divine Child to demonstrate its abilities in this mission were almost nonexistent. Therefore, I think the overall requirement for the Divine Child in the mission settlement should be reduced."

[Under review, please wait.]

Upon hearing Ron's words, the system interface changed to a loading [...] symbol.

Ron, however, remained remarkably calm about it—as mentioned before, the system was less of a system and more of a special kind of WeChat for businesses.

Ron was the head of one of the departments. However, unlike the companies people imagine, the system, structured around the rules of the World Tree, had no room for personal relationships; basically, it was all about saying what you meant. Just like when Ron first came into contact with the system and received extra system coins by reporting a loophole in the newcomer benefits, as long as the request was reasonable, the World Tree system would correct and change it immediately.

Sure enough, in just a few minutes, new subtitles appeared in Ron and the others' sight.

[Data corrected, appeal successful, task rating increased to [A], additional compensation: 30 system coins.]

Seeing the mission score rise, Ron nodded in satisfaction. Beside him, the Divine Child also quietly breathed a sigh of relief. The wolf, though silent, softened its demeanor, no longer as cold and distant as before.

As for the additional compensation, it was only 30 system coins... Ron didn't care too much about that.

Based on Ron's intuition, the World Tree system was quite organized, not the personalized system that people imagined, possessing its own emotions and able to arbitrarily adjust task requirements and rewards according to its own preferences. In this case, the score increased, but the subsequent reward increase was still only thirty, which meant that the scoring system still had some inflated deductions that Ron hadn't yet discovered.

This means that, within the World Tree system's design, the purchasing power of system coins is extremely strong. So strong that increasing from fifty to eighty system coins can create a different level.

Thinking it over, Ron clicked "Confirm." With a whooshing sound, the gold coin count on the system interface in Ron's mind rose from 99 to 179.

New players start with 50 System Coins, receive 50 System Coins as compensation for delayed activation, spend 1 System Coin to purchase a legal identity and currency in the mission world, and complete missions for 80 System Coins.

After confirming that there were no problems, Ron turned his gaze to the wolf beside him. Only after confirming that the wolf and the Chrysalis had also received system coins did Ron nod.

During this process, Ron also discovered something: the team system interface showed that he was a Level 1 Executor, Wolf was a Level 2 Executor below him, and the Transformer was a Level 3 Executor below Wolf.

Thinking about it, Ron asked, "What does the system level affect?"

[Accepting quests and daily refreshes of the personal shop.]

"OK."

Ron nodded thoughtfully. He didn't yet have a precise understanding of this Executor level—mainly because his current team only consisted of Wolf and the Chrysalis, both from the same world. The entire team was basically just the Chairman and CEO; there wasn't much to delve into. He could study it properly once they returned to their abandoned space sanctuary.

Thinking it over, Ron asked, "Can I take some local specialties with me?"

[Okay, please pay the time travel tax. The total value is calculated to be 30 system coins.]

The Blood Echoes of Upper Moon One and Three. Plus Nakime, and it's already thirty system coins?! Stroking his chin, Ron inexplicably felt that the price surge was probably due to the living Nakime consuming too many resources. But glancing back at Nakime's obedient sitting posture, Ron simply clicked to pay.

The Infinite City's ability to gather forces and fight directly regardless of distance is quite convenient. Who knows what kind of trouble might arise if it is transformed into Blood Echo... After all, this is also the first time I have tried to transform the soul of a creature from another world.
