Traveled through time at the same time, but both clones were beautiful girls

The courtyard wasn't very large.

The seven Pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps knelt in respect.

It was not that they willingly used such grand ceremony to welcome guests of unknown origin, but rather that the lord they served with all their heart was also humbly kneeling on the ground.

They looked up, all scrutinizing Adam with subtle, discreet eyes.

Adam didn't even glance at them. He was somewhat interested in Kagaya Ubuyashiki, the man cursed by the heavens, but when he saw Ubuyashiki's face, he couldn't help but show a hint of sympathy.

"You... seem to have known I was coming beforehand?"

"This morning, I saw the sunrise with its colorful rays and the purple aura coming from the west, and I knew that an ineffable and sacred being was about to descend."

"Get up."

The man, whose face was severely disfigured, knelt on the ground and opened his almost blind eyes: "So that our esteemed guest may know that the Ubuyashiki family is related to Muzan Kibutsuji by blood. Since a thousand years ago, the entire family has been cursed, and the boys born to them die shortly after birth."

His voice had an unusual magic as he recounted the secrets of his family: "In order to prevent the bloodline from dying out, the Ubuyashiki family followed the advice of the shrine priest and married girls from the priest's family generation after generation. Although this has continued the lives of their descendants, for thousands of years, no one in the family has been able to live to the age of thirty."

"However, everything has its blessings and misfortunes. The Ubuyashiki family offended the heavens and also gained some special abilities... For example, at certain times, they can see some vague futures, so they can barely maintain the Demon Slayer Corps with these minor skills."

"This morning, as I was lost in thought, I vaguely sensed that a deity was about to descend into the world, and I had a premonition that the Ubuyashiki family's thousand-year-old wish might also be fulfilled."

His tone grew increasingly agitated, and he respectfully bowed to Adam, saying, "Please tell me frankly, are you God?"

Adam nodded: "Indeed."

Several suppressed gasps rang out in the courtyard.

Adam stroked the bright red blond hair in his arms: "However, don't think of me as some kind of savior god. I am indifferent to most of the suffering in the human world, and I am not interested in your entanglements with ghosts."

"That……"

"I've come today because Zhen Hong wants to say goodbye to you all."

"That's it."

Although there was intense disappointment in Ubuyashiki's eyes, her mind was at peace.

"Humans should be human, and gods should be gods; this is how it should be."

"Ubuyashiki Kagaya, I'm really starting to have a newfound respect for you."

Adam was slightly surprised, not expecting that a mortal who knew he was going to die young could have such a calm and composed mind.

After he and Shinku devised a plan in their minds, he pretended to ponder: "Destroying one Kibutsuji Muzan is as easy as turning one's hand, but what can I get from you? Shinku's relationship with you alone is not enough to make me take action."

Ubuyashiki's expression changed several times, and finally he sighed with a wry smile and said, "I'm afraid Ubuyashiki and the Demon Slayer Corps can't provide what the gods need."

"not necessarily."

Adam, holding Shinku, sat down opposite the Ubuyashiki.

He pointed to the table.

The wooden tabletop suddenly blurred into a transparent world!

The dazzling lights gradually coalesced into a concrete image, revealing a magnificent and splendid room in Edo.

In a dimly lit room with closed doors and windows, a pale-skinned, curvaceous, black-haired beauty was sleeping soundly.

Her face was undeniably beautiful.

Her beauty was undeniably stunning.

"This, this is..."

"Kibutsuji Muzan."

"How could Muzan be a woman?!"

As Adam nodded, the pillars that had gathered around to watch the spectacle all shouted that it was impossible.

Sound Pillar Uzui Tengen stroked his chin and frowned: "Where do I feel like I've seen this room's decor before? Oh! Isn't this the courtesan's room in Yoshiwara!? Does the God mean that the Demon King is..."

"Yes, selling ditch."

"..."

"What's so strange?"

Adam nonchalantly retorted, "A living dead who has lived for a thousand years has long since tasted all the pleasures of the human world. Now, transforming into a woman to enjoy new pleasures and savoring sensual delights from a different perspective, isn't that perfectly normal?"

Hearing Adam's nonchalant words, everyone fell silent.

They no longer questioned the authenticity of this deity.

Because ordinary people cannot say such things.

Just as they were admiring Muzan Kibutsuji's slumbering beauty with mixed feelings, the Demon King, far away in Yoshiwara, Edo, seemed to wake up from a nightmare!

In his cold, plum-red eyes, an ultimate fear, absent for four hundred years, resurfaced!

"who is it!?"

"Yoriichi Tsugikuni! Did you crawl out of hell?!"

He was certain the room was empty.

"it's me."

However, a human mouth sprouted from the luxurious wooden dressing table: "We're looking for you, Muzan Kibutsuji."

At the same time, the ceiling grinned and said, "Everything in the world is looking for you; you can't escape it."

"boom!"

A large hole was torn in the ceiling by a fleshy tentacle.

"Playing tricks! Damn it, playing tricks!!"

Kibutsuji Muzan was furious.

But upon discovering that all the dead things in the house seemed to have come to life, he immediately jumped up like a rabbit and screamed incoherently.

"Nakome!!"

Upon hearing a mournful lute tune, Muzan Kibutsuji was teleported back to his lair—the Infinity Castle—by his subordinates.

Regardless of what happened just now, anyway...

Let's hide first!

Muzan Kibutsuji quickly hid in the Infinity Castle and ordered Nakime to summon the Twelve Demon Moons to protect him.

……

"It really is Kibutsuji Muzan!"

Through the desktop world, Ubuyashiki and the Pillars witnessed Muzan's ugly behavior.

Adam turned his head and asked Shinazugawa Sanemi, who had regained consciousness, "Shinazugawa, tell me, is this Infinity Castle in front of you, which is limited to the tabletop, the real lair of Kibutsuji Muzan, or just a projection?"

"what?"

Shinazugawa frowned and scratched his head: "How could Muzan's lair be only the size of a desktop? This can't possibly be real!"

Adam laughed: "Okay, go in and have some fun."

The wind pillar suddenly felt that everything around it was getting bigger!

The lord and the other pillars looked down at him in astonishment, like giants.

Before he could speak, a gust of wind blew him up, and he fell into the desktop world like a tiny ant.

……

Kibutsuji Muzan, who was lecturing the Twelve Demon Moons, abruptly shut his mouth.

"..."

He stared silently at the Demon Slayer Corps member who had suddenly appeared before him, his lips trembling, unsure of what to say.

Sanemi Shinazugawa's eyes widened.

"This……"

Neither his eyes nor his nose could deceive him.

Of the figures surrounding him, six were trash, while the other six were all terrifying demons. The one furthest away from him, Muzan Kibutsuji, made his body tingle just by looking at him.

"This place really is... how is this possible?"

"Hey, are you... are you human? That's strange, how could a human get in here?"

"Nakome? What's going on?"

"I...I really don't know! He just walked in out of nowhere!"

Upper Moon Two Doma curiously examined Sanemi Shinazugawa, then fanned himself with a somewhat bored expression: "Sigh, what a smelly man. I have no appetite for him at all, but Lord Akaza must really like this kind of thing, right?"

"Shut up, all of you!!"

Enraged, Muzan screamed and demanded, "You bastard! How did you even get in here?!"

It's no wonder he was worried when a Demon Slayer Corps member suddenly appeared in his lair.

"Muzan!! It really is you!!!"

Shinazugawa Sanemi laughed viciously, staring at him with hatred, completely unconcerned that he was trapped in enemy territory.

"It really is you! I'm going to kill you!!"

"Just you?"

The six Upper Moons attacked almost simultaneously, attempting to dismember the human.

But their sure-fire attack missed completely, and the human disappeared from the Infinite City in some inexplicable way.

Chapter 44 Have you ever heard the story of the Cursed Swordsman...?

"It's true! It's true!"

With a flash before his eyes, Shinazugawa, back at the Ubuyashiki mansion, exclaimed, "That's Kibutsuji Muzan! I can't mistake that feeling!"

The unruly pillar of wind knelt before Adam and kowtowed deeply.

"My Lord God! Please send us to that Infinite City! We want to fight that beast to the death!"

Shinazugawa Sanemi knelt down.

The other pillars exchanged glances and then knelt down again.

They begged Adam to send them into that eerie, infinity castle so they could have a chance to fight Muzan Kibutsuji to the death!

Almost every one of the nine Pillars present harbored an irreconcilable hatred for the demons and Muzan.

Adam remained unmoved, his fingers idly tracing patterns on the desktop, zooming in to examine the images of Muzan and Upper Six Strings closely.

The other ghosts are fine.

Only Upper Moon Five, Gyokko, had a truly unique appearance. Adam had thought that the cursed spirits in the world of cursed arts were already rather sloppy, but he never expected that there would be such a master in Demon Slayer.

Seeing that the gods were ignoring them, the Demon-Slaying Pillars were filled with anxiety.

Muzan Kibutsuji is the progenitor of demons who has plagued the land for a thousand years and is the source of all man-eating evil demons.

If Muzan is killed, all the demons in the world will die instantly. Since the Demon Slayer Corps was established, countless swordsmen have rushed to eliminate this scourge, but very few have been able to find his whereabouts.

We absolutely cannot miss this opportunity today...

Shinobu Kocho quietly raised her eyes and looked at Shinku, who was sitting on Adam's shoulders, with a pleading expression.

Ah, you idiot, you fell for it!

Zhen Hong chuckled inwardly, and just as she had discussed with Adam, she suddenly spoke up: "Adam, evil spirits have been poisoning this country for thousands of years, and many innocent people have lost their lives to them."

"That's none of my business. Shinku, the world has never worshipped me, so naturally I have no reason to protect the world."

"Is there anything you want, or someone you want?"

Shinku knew that the original body had feelings for the Butterfly Sisters.
