Zongman: Capturing the goddess from Demon Slayer

"Ah?"

Muzan Kibutsuji, who was conducting experiments within the Infinity Castle, was dumbfounded.

He looked around blankly.

Appearing utterly helpless.

He couldn't understand why he could no longer sense Douma's presence.

Damn it, if Daki broke free from control and followed Lan Mingang, it's because she had the looks.

Surely Douma wasn't fancied as well?

Excluding the possibility of breaking free from control, only the option of being annihilated remained.

How long has it been?

From Upper Moon Six breaking free from his control, to Upper Moon One being instantly killed the next night, and then a month later, Upper Moon Two being annihilated.

In less than two short months, half of the Upper Moon demons were gone!!!

This...

It was simply unbelievable!!!

At this moment, Muzan Kibutsuji was already mentally exhausted.

He didn't want to get angry over these trivial matters.

After all, Upper Moon One, Kokushibo, was gone, and Upper Moon Two, Douma, was gone, so it was normal.

He took it lightly.

Dead is dead.

"Sigh~"

"The Upper Moons can't keep dying like this, or else we won't even have the capital to attack the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters."

"I can't possibly do it myself."

With a sigh, Muzan Kibutsuji said to Nakime:

"Nakime, bring all the Upper Moon demons to the Infinity Castle."

The time cost of nurturing an Upper Moon was too great; not just anyone could become an Upper Moon after turning into a demon.

Muzan Kibutsuji had to protect the remaining five Upper Moon demons under his command, at least until he trapped Lan Mingang in the Infinity Castle, they couldn't lose any more!

Thump~

Nakime plucked the biwa in her hand, and all the currently alive Upper Moon demons were summoned to the Infinity Castle.

Upper Moon Three, Akaza, looked around in confusion.

Wasn't it said that the castle would be sealed for a hundred years?

Why was he suddenly brought to the Infinity Castle?

What was Muzan Kibutsuji up to?

He hadn't even found Lan Mingang for a match yet.

Muzan Kibutsuji listened to the demons' thoughts.

In the past, Muzan would have severely punished a guy like Akaza who questioned him.

But now, Muzan Kibutsuji felt nothing in his heart and had no intention of punishing Akaza.

As long as he didn't screw up when annihilating the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters, he could do whatever he wanted.

After all, besides himself, Akaza was the strongest among the demons now.

Sigh, he was so tired.

"Akaza, Upper Moon Two, Douma, is dead."

As soon as these words came out, Akaza, who was still confused, instantly felt much better.

Cnm, sensing that Akaza was extremely happy, Muzan Kibutsuji almost laughed out of anger.

"Akaza, you are now the strongest of the Upper Moon.

"I have a question for you, answer truthfully."

Akaza knelt on one knee, bowed his head to the ground, and said:

"I will definitely answer truthfully."

"Can you still become stronger?" Muzan Kibutsuji asked.

"Yes!" Akaza replied firmly.

For Akaza, whose cultivation mostly came from his own training, as long as he had demon blood, he could become stronger.

The question was, would Muzan Kibutsuji be willing to give it to him?

"Very good, in that case, I will bestow upon you my demon blood!"

"Until you can't take it anymore!"

One of Muzan Kibutsuji's arms transformed into a huge fleshy tumor, with a bone spike at the end of the long tumor, piercing into Akaza's body.

Demon blood was being injected into Akaza's body little by little.

Akaza endured the intense pain brought by the transformation and strengthening, stubbornly squatting on the spot without moving or making a sound.

Remembering Enmu's painful appearance during the Lower Moon meeting, Muzan Kibutsuji was extremely satisfied with Akaza.

This was how an Upper Moon demon should be.

After injecting a large amount of demon blood, Akaza's aura suddenly soared.

Kaigaku was so frightened that he couldn't help but retreat.

Now Akaza felt that his whole body was full of power.

He was much stronger than before.

If that beast Douma hadn't died, he would have definitely initiated a positional blood battle, turning Douma into a pile of minced meat and then swallowing him.

But it was also thanks to Douma's death that he was able to become so strong.

"Akaza, stay in the Infinity Castle for these next few days."

"In a while, I will let you out to fight against the strong!"

"Does anyone else need demon blood?"

Demon blood was a treasure for other demons to become stronger, but for Muzan, wasn't it just his own blood? He had as much as he wanted.

Before, it was because he had to restrain his subordinates, and demon blood was used as a reward, so it couldn't be too cheap.

But now, cheap was cheap, as long as it could improve the combat power of the Upper Moon demons, it didn't matter.

Gyokko and Hantengu both shook their heads; their strength was just like that.

If they couldn't improve themselves, injecting too much demon blood would only lead to the collapse of their bodies.

"Um, Muzan-sama, I want demon blood..." Kaigaku said cautiously.

Muzan Kibutsuji glanced at Kaigaku.

"You should forget about it."

A piece of trash who couldn't even use the First Form was useless no matter how much demon blood he was given.

"Alright, this Upper Moon meeting ends here."

"From now on, all of you must honestly stay in the Infinity Castle and cultivate diligently."

"Soon there will be a moment for you to show your skills."

......

On the other side, Lan Mingang, Shinobu, and Kanao flew directly back to the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters after annihilating Douma.

Above the Demon Slayer Corps, Lan Mingang stopped and frowned slightly.

"Nakime's little eyes?"

"She discovered it quite quickly."

"I haven't gone to find you yet, but you've come looking first."

Shinobu and Kanao saw that Lan Mingang hadn't followed and stopped to ask:

"Mingang, what's wrong?"

Kanao also looked at Lan Mingang curiously.

"It's nothing, I just discovered that Muzan Kibutsuji might be attacking the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters."

"What!?" Shinobu was shocked.

"Mingang, you're not joking, are you?"

"What do you think?"

Seeing that Lan Mingang didn't seem to be joking, Shinobu flew back to Lan Mingang's side and took Lan Mingang's hand, flying towards Kagaya Ubuyashiki's villa.

"Kanao, you go back first."

"Mingang and I have to go to Oyakata-sama's place."

Lan Mingang and Shinobu arrived at Kagaya Ubuyashiki's courtyard.

At this time, Kagaya Ubuyashiki was already completely blind.

He could only use his two daughters to relay messages, to know who had come.

After learning that it was Lan Mingang and Kochou Shinobu, Kagaya Ubuyashiki said happily:

"I wonder what brings Mr. Lan to me?"

Lan Mingang said:

"The final battle is about to begin."

"Hmm? I wonder what Mr. Lan means by the final battle?" Kagaya Ubuyashiki couldn't understand what Lan Mingang was saying for a moment.

"The final battle between Muzan Kibutsuji and the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters."

"There is a traitor in the Demon Slayer Corps who has told Muzan Kibutsuji the location here, and if nothing goes wrong, they have also become a demon."

Sensing that Kaigaku was not at the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters, and with Muzan Kibutsuji finding the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters so quickly, Lan Mingang could guess with his butt that Kaigaku was following the old path from the original story.

He just didn't know who had turned him into a demon this time.

After all, Upper Moon One, Kokushibo, was already GG.
