Moreover, this power does not require physical modification or mutation; it can be mastered through training and learning… This is an irresistible temptation for any individual or organization.
Once the news spreads that "the lone transmigrator 'Kyojuro Rengoku' possesses a method to gain superhuman strength simply through training and learning," the armed forces of the entire world will be watching him.
This applies to both underground illegal forces and countries around the world.
Although Kyojuro's displayed strength seems capable of keeping out all those with ill intentions, it's easy to dodge a spear in the open, but hard to guard against a hidden arrow.
Kyojuro is a human being. No matter how powerful he is, he still needs to eat, drink, sleep, and use the toilet...
As long as he remains human, there are countless weaknesses that can be exploited.
He is just one person, and as long as his personal strength does not surpass that of the organization, the actions against him will not stop.
Human greed will not be deterred by his great power; on the contrary, it is like the hunger of a starving wild dog seeing fresh food. Even knowing that it will come at a great cost, it will still rush forward one after another.
Coulson worried that this method of gaining immense power would fall into the hands of an ambitious organization that would recklessly use force for its own selfish desires. He also didn't want this righteous man, whose mission was to eradicate evil, to meet with misfortune.
That's why he extended an invitation to S.H.I.E.L.D. to Kyojuro.
S.H.I.E.L.D. can provide him with protection and help him achieve his ideals, while he can also make great contributions to S.H.I.E.L.D. and to humanity; it's a mutually beneficial relationship...
Both professionally and personally, Coulson believed that S.H.I.E.L.D. was the best place for this man.
Therefore, even though he felt the chances of successfully recruiting him were slim, he did not intend to give up.
"Whoo~"
Coulson took a deep breath and looked sincerely at Flame Pillar. "Mr. Kyojuro, I'm afraid that won't work."
Your power is so great, and you have no past record, which in itself is one of the factors that cause social instability. We at S.H.I.E.L.D. have an obligation to monitor such people.
Secondly, establishing a private armed force... not to mention having to appease the local government, the cost of establishing such an armed force is also a considerable sum.
As far as I know, although Gu Qing has some assets, she can't afford such expenses, and she doesn't have the connections to quell the government's objections.
"I can help with that!"
Tony suddenly changed the subject.
Upon hearing this, everyone looked over in astonishment.
Coulson was furious: What do you mean?
My chances of recruiting were already slim, and now you're causing trouble. This is too much for me!
Tony shrugged nonchalantly and said, "Nothing else. He saved me, so I'll repay him. If he needs help, this is nothing."
The truth, of course, is not as simple as he makes it out to be.
Although Tony is a grateful person, he would never repay kindness in this way.
He offered to help because he himself hoped that an organization like the Demon Slayer Corps would exist in this world.
In his investigation of the ghosts, he uncovered many truths hidden beneath the surface of the world.
Vampire Empire, The Hand, Ghost Rider, Hell's Devil...
The world is threatened not only by terrorists and ambitious individuals, but also by these extraordinary beings lurking in the shadows. The world needs an armed force that can fight against these extraordinary beings, that belongs to humanity, and that fights only for humanity.
Of course, this is on the premise that this armed force is truly as noble as Tamayo and he described.
Therefore, if he were to ultimately fund Kyojuro's establishment of the Demon Slayer Corps in this world, he would inevitably intervene, strictly controlling the character of each member and the organization's rules and regulations to prevent it from becoming a tool for personal ambition.
"Thank you for your kindness, but it's too early to talk about these things now. The idea of establishing the Demon Slayer Corps just popped into my head recently. I haven't thought about the pros and cons or its feasibility in depth. I'll ask Mr. Gu Qing for his opinion before we discuss the specifics."
After answering Tony's question, Kyojuro turned to Coulson and said seriously, "I don't object to your attitude towards me, but I won't stop my actions because of it. I have..."
Just then, a figure suddenly descended from the sky, landing in the distance like a cannonball, causing a violent tremor and roar.
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a man with short, peach-pink hair, golden eyes, pale skin, and his body covered with countless dark blue tattoos representing sinners emerge from the smoke and dust.
The man was so fast that no one could see him clearly.
The man's target was very clear, pointing directly at Tamayo. He saw nothing else besides his target and was in front of Tamayo in the blink of an eye, extending his right hand with bright red fingernails.
Everyone was still in a daze, as if they had just come back to their senses.
Just as the man was about to succeed, the man who was like the sun stepped forward.
"Breath of Flames, Second Form: Rising Flames!"
Kyojuro stepped forward and blocked the man's path, his blade slashing upwards with such ferocity that the air seemed to distort, like a blazing sun descending from the night sky.
"puff!"
The fist was split in the middle, pointing directly at the arm.
The man who suddenly appeared and launched a surprise attack without saying a word was stopped.
He didn't linger in the fight; with a light step, he retreated, leaping back more than ten meters away.
"Who goes there!"
It was only then that everyone came to their senses, raised their weapons, and aimed at the attacker who had suddenly appeared.
Then, they saw the number in the man's golden eyes—Upper Moon Three!
It was an Upper Moon demon!
Everyone was horrified, feeling panicked and fearful.
They were almost wiped out by a Lower Moon Five before, and now an Upper Moon Three has appeared. How are they going to fight this?
"Snapped!"
Kyojuro strode forward and stood in front of the crowd.
As everyone gazed at that broad back, a sense of peace inexplicably settled over them.
What are we afraid of?
Isn't there a top expert here who specializes in exorcising evil spirits?
This Upper Moon Three was injured as soon as it appeared. Even if it is stronger than the previous Lower Moon demons, its strength is definitely limited and it will certainly not be a match for Mr. Kyojuro.
All we need to do is provide cover fire when Mr. Kyojuro is fighting the demon.

Upper Moon Three's left arm, from the middle finger to the forearm, had been severed in two, but he didn't even glance at it, his eyes fixed intently on Rengoku Kyojuro. It was as if a peerless master, long deprived of a worthy opponent, had suddenly encountered a formidable foe, filled with intense interest.
"It's a fine knife!"
The man spoke, a hint of excitement in his voice.
At the same time, he swung his left arm, and the two severed arms closed up instantly, healing completely. That speed was incomparable to Coulson, whose body required a considerable amount of time to heal even after being pieced back together.
This gave the group, who had finally managed to calm down, a bad feeling.
Could this ghost be one of those super-powerful bosses?
"Don't be afraid, I will protect you!"
Kyojuro's resounding words, delivered with an unwavering confidence that once again calmed the uneasy crowd.
"I have to admit, this guy is really handsome!"
Tony pouted and said with a reluctant expression.
Coulson smiled broadly, looking at the figure in front of him as if he were seeing his idol. Most of the other special forces members also breathed a sigh of relief, and their gazes toward Kyojuro's back held a different kind of emotion.
Only Tamayo and Yushiro remained solemn.
The Demon Slayer Corps has been established for nearly a thousand years. Although there have been few, there have been quite a few, between the Pillars and the Twelve Demon Moons, with both sides having their share of victories and defeats.
However, this only applies to battles against Lower Moon demons.
The Pillars have never won a single battle against the Upper Moon Demons.
Even though this Flame Pillar seems stronger than the previous Pillars, it is still not an optimistic prospect whether he can defeat the Upper Moon Demon who has never lost.
"That's where you're wrong!"
Compared to the tense atmosphere of everyone else, this Upper Moon demon appeared relaxed and nonchalant.
He placed his left hand on his waist and stretched his right hand forward, saying, "I hate weaklings. I feel disgusted to death when I see them. But you are different. I can tell at a glance that the fighting spirit surrounding you has been tempered and refined to a level close to the supreme realm. You are a Pillar, aren't you!"
"I am the Flame Pillar of the Nine Pillars, Kyojuro Rengoku!"
"Flame Pillar... I am Akaza, the Upper Moon Three of the Twelve Demon Moons!"
After the two introduced themselves, Akaza said, "I can't understand why you, with such great power, would protect these incredibly weak guys?"
If you are a strong person, you should be able to feel my power!
Do you really think you can defeat me even with a bunch of burdens around you?
Or perhaps I've misjudged you, and you're actually so weak that you can't even perceive the difference in strength between us?
"Isn't it natural for the strong to protect the weak? It's just that we have different standards of value."
Kyojuro swung his Nichirin Blade, his expression serious, and said:
"I see."
Akaza's smile widened, as if she was even more fond of the man before her.
"It's such a waste for a man like you to die like this. I have a good suggestion: how about you become a ghost and join our side?"
These words startled everyone, sending a chill down their spines.
Demons possess powerful physiques and immortal lifespans. Even if Kyojuro doesn't care about power, immortality is something countless people dream of. Can he resist such temptation?
If not, the already unfavorable situation will turn into a dead end.
Then, before the idea could fully pass through everyone's minds, Kyojuro's righteous and stern refusal reached their ears.
Without the slightest hesitation, the man refused, which relieved everyone and made them look at him with even greater respect.
Even Tony had to admit that this Flame Pillar was indeed as resolute and virtuous as Tamayo had described the Demon Slayer Corps to him.
Don't rush to refuse.
As if he had anticipated Kyojuro's answer, Akaza showed no surprise at all. "Do you know why you failed to reach the highest realm?"
