I'm a magnetic field madman

Each generation of offspring died young under extreme torment, never to meet a peaceful end.

Kagaya Ubuyashiki would not want his children to repeat his mistakes.

No matter how much you talk about his selfless dedication, he is still a person, a father and a husband.

He wouldn't want his tragic fate to be passed down, nor would he want his children to continue this painful cycle.

He had a premonition that Muzan might be defeated in their generation. Because they had the strongest Pillars in history, and also a "child" who had broken free from Muzan's control over their destiny.

And now, God has even sent us another being stronger than all the pillars, just like the swordsman with the markings who created the Breathing Technique back then!

Kagaya Ubuyashiki couldn't stop, and he couldn't stop wanting to end this tragic cycle of cause and effect in his own generation.

As for that person named Bai Wujie, will he become an even more terrifying disaster than Muzan...?

Kagaya Ubuyashiki couldn't find an answer, but he didn't think it was a problem he needed to worry about.

Or to put it more bluntly, he doesn't care.

In Zhu's eyes, he was a gentle and loving lord; in the eyes of his wife and daughter, he was a devoted husband and father.

This is indeed his nature, but beyond all that, he is also the head of the Ubuyashiki family and the one who bears the destiny of eradicating that evil spirit.

Therefore, he possessed sufficient resolve, even ruthlessness, because only someone with a sufficiently hardened heart could...

How could they possibly carry out such a cruel trial, pushing immature youths into the hunting grounds of starving beasts and then selecting the qualified ones?

A tough approach and a resolute attitude are the most important foundations for the Demon Slayer Corps leader.

As for gentleness and compassion, these must give way to the courage to make decisions.

Moreover, no matter how terrifying Bai Wujie's thoughts may be, he is still a human being.

In Kagaya Ubuyashiki's mind, as long as someone is human, no matter how terrible they are, the things they do cannot be called a disaster.

Throughout history, the biggest killers of humanity have always been humanity itself. Muzan, this self-proclaimed "natural disaster,"... could eat more people in a lifetime than humans kill each other in a week.

The reason for fighting Muzan is that he is the source of demons, a new species that preys on humans and may replace them after spreading.

This kind of racial conflict requires any means necessary and at any cost! But when humans fight each other, it's just an internal matter.

Because this may simply be a difference in choices between ideologies and stances... The outcome of a war is a major event for a country or an individual... but for humanity itself, it is merely an internal change.

Therefore, Kagaya Ubuyashiki must recruit Shiro Mukai!

He wouldn't have any foolish or naive ideas like "the devil is killed by an even bigger devil," nor did he have time to worry about such things.

If he really wants to kill the Emperor to deal with Muzan, then let him go... If he really wants to recklessly kill Muzan, then let him go.

As long as he is still human, and as long as they remain of the same race, Kagaya Ubuyashiki can accept all of this!

"A country will continue to turn even without an emperor, and the world will still exist even without a country."

Kagaya Ubuyashiki leaned against his wife's chest, murmuring as a hazy sleepiness crept in...

"But only Muzan, only this monster..."

"They must die."

11. Infinite City Gathering

The space is distorted, and the zero particles that suddenly appear here create a strong sense of dislocation.

The entire space is in an upside-down position. Zero Zi raises his head, and countless staircases and corridors exist above and around him. The misaligned space violates human geometry, trampling the coffin lid of gravity under his feet.

She wanted to know what kind of place this was, but Lingyuzi felt that her curiosity wasn't that strong.

Because at that moment, there were more important things and more obvious thoughts in her mind.

The rapid sound of the pipa rang out continuously, and right above Lingyu's head, a woman at the end of a staircase was playing the pipa, while fear twisted and writhed around her.

bass!

With the rapid sound of the pipa, Lingyu was suddenly transported to another space... In front of her, a woman dressed in a gorgeous and beautiful black kimono looked at her with indifferent eyes.

"Master Wuhan."

Ling Yuzi knelt down without hesitation, because there was no need for any understanding or knowledge; all that was needed was to kneel.

She wouldn't even ask where the bloodstains that hadn't been cleaned up came from, nor would she ask about the condition of the Lower Moon One who was convulsing and wailing beside her.

Muzan wouldn't want them to ask questions; the self-centered Demon King is only capable of absolute self-centeredness and willfulness.

I never care what others think, I only need to think what I think.

"You are the last Lower Moon to arrive."

Muzan looked down at Reiji with disdain and said coldly...

Give me an explanation.

"Lord Muzan, it took some time for me to heal my injuries, and now I need to find some blood to eat," Zero said in a low voice.

Muzan narrowed his eyes slightly, but still accepted Rei's explanation.

Because he could still feel his absolute control over this tiny thing in front of him, an unstoppable, powerful force that could easily give and take life.

Although it was only for a moment, it seemed as if the zeros had slipped out of my control... but now I realize that it was just an illusion caused by overthinking.

Unless it is death, or a special case like Tamayo's, no demon can escape its control.

"Besides you, there's only one other Lower Rank demon left," Muzan said in a cold voice.

"Because you are so incompetent, I no longer need you."

The Twelve Demon Moons were originally established to help Muzan find the Spider Lily... The apex of the demons, which originated from his initial partner Kokushibo, is actually a severely stratified hierarchy with an exaggerated power gap.

The upper and lower moons are worlds apart, and ironically, the structure of the upper and lower moons, which should be an upward channel, has never had a single successful example.

For hundreds of years, no Lower Moon demon has ever been promoted to Upper Moon through a bloody battle of replacement... and every Upper Moon that has been replaced has done so either "internal" within themselves or by the emergence of a new, powerful demon that has replaced the weaker one.

Powerful demons seem to be destined from the moment they are born, while weak things can never break through this boundary no matter how hard they try.

For Muzan, the Lower Moon was worthless.

He could easily create hundreds of ghosts of that caliber.

The Upper Moon demons are what he values, and the Upper Moon demons have never changed in the past hundred years...

The strength of these six Upper Moon demons also exhibited a precipitous disparity.

The strength of the Upper Six siblings, Upper Five Jade Pot, and Upper Four Half-Tengu may be comparable, but they are all three who can be easily killed when facing Upper Three.

And Akaza's power is completely inferior to Doma's power...

Kokushibo, one of the strongest opponents, is a powerful figure that even Muzan himself needs to be careful to deal with.

But no matter which Upper Moon it is, it can easily annihilate all the Lower Moon demons!

After tolerating these scumbags for hundreds of years, Muzan has finally lost all patience today.

Since it has no value and can't help me, useless things might as well just die and become my food!

"Oh my, Lord Muzan arrived so early? And he even had the leisure to eat a bunch of snacks?"

A cynical laugh rang out, followed by a man with white oak hair and rainbow-colored eyes.

A man dressed in lavish clothes, his head splattered with blood, appeared beside Zero and laughed.

"But there are two left. Are they meant to be snacks for us subordinates?"

"Watch your attitude toward Lord Muzan."

A chilling voice rang out from the other side of Ling Yuzi, and a fierce and muscular young man with short dark red hair and wearing a mandarin jacket walked over and said coldly, while casually punching away the hand of the gorgeous man who was reaching out...

"Also, stay away from me."

"How terrifying, how terrifying! Lord Muzan has already begun to exterminate us, the Twelve Demon Moons."

With a mournful and frail figure, a hunched old man shakily descended the stairs beside him... Compared to the other Upper Moons, he had no imposing presence whatsoever!

"Hehehe, don't worry, Bantengu. If Muzan-sama has such a good appetite, he would probably eat us one by one."

From a porcelain pot placed on flat ground, a strange creature appeared, its eyes replaced by a mouth...

The demon, whose eyes were in its mouth, emerged in a twisting and turning manner, like Aladdin's lamp.

"Lord Muzan is as beautiful as ever! Even with a different body, he remains the same."

Speaking with an infatuated air, the beautiful woman in a well-fitting kimono, her cheeks flushed, stared at Muzan and cried out.

These are the Upper Moon demons.

Reiko lowered her head almost to the floor, the aura emanating from these Upper Moon demons...

This put immense pressure on her, who considered herself to be at the top of the ghost class.

It's like a mouse facing a cat that's trying to catch it...

"So, for Lord Muzan to allow us to gather after such a long time, there must be something important going on."

The flamboyant Upper Moon Two, Doma, grinned at Muzan. His attitude and demeanor were not just disrespectful, but practically suicidal.

"Oh my, I'm really looking forward to it!"

"The blue spider lily and the elimination of the Demon Slayer Corps are the only two purposes I created for you, and you have not accomplished either of them yet."

Muzan ignored all the demons below, but the bulging veins on his neck revealed the depth of his anger and impatience.

"I'm starting to doubt whether your existence is even necessary."

His words, spoken casually, possessed an unparalleled power to intimidate these ghosts!

Daki, the sixth Upper Moon demon, Gyokko, the fifth Upper Moon demon, and Hantengu, the fourth Upper Moon demon, immediately prostrated themselves without hesitation, like humble servants!

Akaza, the third Upper Moon demon, knelt down on one knee, while Doma, the second Upper Moon demon, grinned and dawdled, mimicking Akaza...

There was only one limit: Kokushibo, who had been kneeling beside Muzan in the room from beginning to end, remained motionless.

It's easy to see their strength and status in Muzan's eyes just from their attitude!

Perhaps for Muzan, three Upper Moons would suffice. Any one of Upper Moon Three could easily kill Upper Moon Four, Five, or Six!

"But now, the reason I've summoned you here is because there's something I need you to do."

Muzan coldly looked at Zero, and she uncontrollably stood up and walked in front of Muzan, then forcefully gouged out her own eyeballs with numbers on them.

"There's a problem I need you to solve. Either you die at his hands, or you die at mine."

Muzan looked at the eyeball in his hand, then crushed it with a gentle squeeze. With a flick of his wrist, several drops of thick, blood-red liquid seeped into the heads of the Upper Moons.

Lingyuko endured the pain, not even daring to cover her missing eye socket. Muzan didn't actually need to do that, but he loved to assert his authority whenever possible!

"Ah, ah, ah, what an interesting person."

Doma, syncing with the memories of the remaining few, watched Shinobu Kocho's figure and laughed in a voice several octaves higher...

"It looks like the younger sister of the child I ate?"

"Fool, Lord Muzan wants you to see something else!"

Akaza said coldly, but his clenched fists clearly revealed his boiling fighting spirit!

"Such skill! I never imagined that there were such swordsmen in this world."

Kokushibo said in a low voice, and he couldn't help but place his hand on the hilt of his sword. The intense excitement of facing his opponent spurred him to stand up and look at Muzan in a deep voice...

"Lord Muzan! Please hand this person over to me to deal with!"

Perhaps this swordsman named Bai Wujie's swordsmanship is still not as good as the sword he once faced, but he is already the second strongest swordsman that Kokushibo has ever seen!

Moreover, he was so young, almost childlike. How could such talent not remind Kokushibo of the person he remembered most vividly?

Muzan glanced at the excited Kokushibo. If any other demon spoke to him in such a commanding tone, they would already be dead.

But Kokushibo was different. He was not his subordinate but his partner. Although Kokushibo called him his lord, Muzan clearly understood that Kokushibo was also a demon beyond his control.

At the very least, Muzan can't just attack Kokushibo as freely as he would other demons... But even so, he is still the sharpest sword in his hand.

"So where is this interesting person?" Douma asked with a smile.

"Let me use my men to search. Someone with such an outrageous style should be found quickly."

Finding someone who actively seeks out Muzan instead of hiding like the Demon Slayer Corps isn't that difficult, at least for Doma, who controls the Eternal Paradise Cult.

Muzan's veins twitched slightly, but he still managed to endure the guy's words.
