He's in Marvel, working behind the scenes.

Chapter 151 The Aftermath of the Great Battle

Stark Tower.

Top floor.

"Tony, there's a press conference later that we need you to attend."

"Tony, Tony..."

"I don't know what you did last night, but since you don't want to go, then don't go. Make sure you eat this."

The footsteps faded into the distance until they disappeared.

After a while, Tony lifted his tired face from the sofa.

He glanced at the hamburger on the table; it was his favorite flavor.

He stared silently at the hamburger for a while, then reached out, took it, opened the packaging, took a big bite, and wolfed it down.

As I ate, tears involuntarily streamed down my face.

The ordinary hamburger reminded him once again of the hardships he endured in the terrorist caves of the Middle East…

He thought of Ethan, who had shared hardships with him but failed to escape with him; he thought of the time they fought together, but only he and a few others had survived by sheer luck.

Although the Hulk finally arrived, repeatedly smashing Muzan Kibutsuji and Kokushime into mincemeat, grabbing their necks to face the sun, and finally turning into ashes with screams under the sunlight... although these incredibly satisfying and comforting things happened right before my eyes.

But Tony felt no pleasure or comfort whatsoever.

He was in pain and heartbroken. All he wanted was for those who had fought alongside him to come back alive and share with him this not-so-delicious, yet cherished, hamburger.

Tears streamed down my face, and the hamburger buns melted away, leaving a mushy mess.

But Tony kept munching on the burger.

He still remembers the scene when, in the instant of the explosion, Kanroji Mitsuri and Iguro Obanai disregarded their own safety and tackled him to the ground, while they themselves were pierced by flying shards.

He was rescued once again.

But he couldn't save the person who had saved him.

"Sadness, grief, and the urge to cry?"

Genos walked to the coffee table and looked at him calmly. "If you want to cry, then cry out loud and let your friends and family share the pain. Bearing pain alone is heartbreaking."

No, no.

Tony wiped away his tears as if his secret had been exposed, and protested, "I'm just burning from the spiciness. This damn burger has so much chili in it. I'm never going to this place again."

Genos glanced at the wrapper casually tossed on the coffee table, which showed the original cheeseburger.

Tony, looking guilty, grabbed the wrapper, crumpled it into a ball, and threw it in the trash can. "Look," he said, "these stores don't care at all these days. They put so much chili in a plain cheeseburger."

"Here's another suggestion for you."

Genos remained unfazed and calmly said, "If you can't let go, then try to make up for it, make up for everything you've lost."

"How can you get back what's already lost?"

Tony, as if a powder keg had been set on fire, shouted, "Didn't you also search the world for your enemies after your hometown was destroyed? Why didn't you try to make amends?"

"You are different from me."

Genos looked at him calmly, "You still have precious people by your side, while I have nothing left."

"……Feel sorry."

"nothing."

Genos said calmly, "I used to be just like you. Even though Dr. Kuno was right beside me, I didn't see him. I only knew how to search the world for the robot that destroyed my hometown to take revenge. It wasn't until I came to this world and had nothing left that I realized how precious it was."

I just hope you don't end up like me.

After saying that, he turned and left without waiting for Tony's reaction.

……

After getting what he wanted from the Security Council, Fury returned to the New York office.

He found Teruya Ubuyashiki and asked bluntly, "Kibutsuji Muzan is dead. What are your plans now?"

"Let's find a place and live a good life!"

Without hesitation, Kiriya said, "The curse that bound the family is gone. It's time to live a normal life."

"But have you thought about other people?"

Upon hearing the question, Kiriya paused for a moment, then asked in return, "...What do you mean?"

"No one died tragically, but the demons were not extinct."

Fury turned on the projector and played images of Hulk wreaking havoc on Muzan and Black Eyes...

On one side is Hulk, a B-rank 7-star being enraged; on the other side are Muzan, a B-rank 3-star being poisoned by the aging poison, and the strongest B-rank 2-star, Kizuki.

Their battle was completely unsurprising, a one-sided and crushing defeat.

Faced with the Hulk, who is impervious to blades and spears, possesses immense strength, and grows stronger with each battle, Muzan Kibutsuji and Kokushime, who rely solely on their physique and swordsmanship, are completely helpless against him.

Regardless of the strategy or the ultimate move.

Hulk just keeps spinning around on one pillar.

Despite Muzan and Kokushibo's continued use of their regenerative abilities to fight the Hulk, they were merely stalling for time against an enemy whose defenses were impenetrable, capable of sending them flying dozens of meters with a single slap.

Until the sun came out, the two were burned to ashes.

Is there a problem with this?

After watching the entire video, Huili looked at Fury with a puzzled expression.

"Of course there's a problem."

Fury paused the video, then rewound a bit, pointing to a corner and saying, "Look, didn't this ghost escape?"

Hui Lizai looked closely and indeed spotted someone sneaking around the corner.

"Because these demons were weak and recovered slowly, they were still lying dead when Hulk arrived, so he didn't notice them. And then he was too focused on dealing with Muzan and Kokushibo, so these guys escaped after they recovered, and he didn't even know it."

Hulk is not a meticulous guy to begin with.

Furthermore, being in a state of anger made it quite difficult for him to pay attention to the subtle details of his surroundings during the fight.

Kiritoya understood this as well, and therefore agreed with Fury's words.

After a moment of silence, he asked, "So, what does Mr. Fury want me to do?"

"Rebuild the Demon Slayer Corps!"

Fury stared into Kiriya's eyes and said, "Although the Demon Slayer Corps has been destroyed, you are already a qualified leader. You know everything about the Demon Slayer Corps, including its reconstruction."

"I'm sorry, the Ubuyashiki family's assets were all destroyed in last night's battle, and we couldn't bring the family's businesses with us, so..."

"Money is not a problem."

Fury declared confidently, "I'll provide whatever funding you need to establish the Demon Slayer Corps, and its legitimacy will be officially recognized worldwide. I have only one requirement: the Demon Slayer Corps cannot participate in any political events; it must only point its blades at those dark creatures."

Upon hearing this, Kiriya fell into deep thought.

Seeing this, Fury nodded in satisfaction.

If Kirito agrees immediately, he'll worry that the kid is unstable.

But now, there's nothing to worry about.

He provoked them, saying, "I heard from members of the Demon Slayer Corps that your Demon Slayer Corps is not only fighting for your own revenge, but also for the common people of the world. What's happening now has nothing to do with your Ubuyashiki, but those ordinary people are already suffering from the threat of demons and other dark creatures."

Or is it that your Demon Slayer Corps is fighting for ordinary people, and that's just empty rhetoric to glorify yourselves?

"Mr. Fury!"

Kirihira glared at him with a furrowed brow. "I know you're trying to provoke me, but I won't allow you to insult those who fought and sacrificed for others in this way!"

"I'm sorry, I used too strong a word."

"Whoo~"

Kiriya took a deep breath and said, "I promise you, I will rebuild the Demon Slayer Corps for this world, but I need the team to remain independent and not allow any national departments to interfere."

"I think so too."

Fury smiled.

……

Convenience store.

"Face Dickon and those five old guys from the Hand are still alive?" Gu Qing looked surprised.

During this battle, everyone's focus was on powerful figures like Muzan and Kokushibo, so he didn't pay much attention to them.

Unexpectedly, these guys managed to escape in the chaos.

"No wonder they say good people don't live long, but evil ones live for a thousand years. These guys, as Marvel villains, are quite good at saving their lives," Gu Qing couldn't help but sigh.

These guys guessed Muzan and Kokushibo would lose from the Hulk fight, so they ran away without getting involved.

Otherwise, they'll get involved.

It's quite possible that Muzan could escape.

However, it doesn't matter. Even if they turn into ghosts and escape, they're not any formidable opponents.

Perfect timing, a few extra leeks.

As for Huilizai, let them follow Fury. It's a good opportunity to promote the breathing technique and gain more prayer points.

"Mr. Gu Qing! Mr. Gu Qing!"

Just then, a familiar voice came from outside the building.

Gu Qing leaned out of the window and saw Coulson's familiar figure.

He was standing in the sunlight, clearly having been injected with the drug to turn back into a human, and now he was human again.
