Muzan: Exterminate the World Government!
Captain Guts and Horobi, accompanied by the 'Twelve Kizuki', had just stepped into this mysterious Infinity Castle when they heard a crisp 'thud', which sounded like the plucking of some kind of silk string.
But more than the sound, the two were stunned by the sight before them.
Inside, it appears to be a brightly lit, antique-style wooden hotel, with sliding doors framed in wood and covered in paper, bright lanterns, and long, sloping staircases.
To be honest, it was absolutely stunning at first glance!
But if you look further, you'll find that the structure here is extremely complex, no, it should be described as chaotic, like a space with completely disordered dimensions.
All the rooms, sliding doors, and corridors are in a completely upside-down state in terms of direction, location, and even upside down. You can even see upside-down or sideways buildings and ghostly figures hanging overhead.
Looking at it for too long makes me feel dizzy.
"This is the Infinity Castle."
Through the Den Den Mushi on their shoulders, the Sea Star Homeworld Otherworld Strategy Committee, and even the Five Elders and Imu behind the scenes, all witnessed this wondrous scene.
"That Nakime's Blood Demon Art is really interesting. If she weren't a demon, I'd really like to capture her and add some special effects to my Noah."
Imu marveled at the images on the projection screen.
Infinity Castle.
Captain Guts and Horobi discovered that they didn't need to move at all. With a few more 'ding' sounds of the pipa, they moved around and eventually appeared on a platform.
Far away.
Standing there was a woman with fair skin and black hair, dressed in a black kimono, making no attempt to hide the curiosity and excitement in her scarlet vertical pupils.
"Muzan, the target has been delivered!"
Kokushibo walked over, knelt on one knee, and reported.
"Well done, go to the side and kneel down in worship."
The female version of Muzan Kibutsuji gave Kokushibo a satisfied smile.
"Yes!"
Soon, the 'Sixth Upper Rank' on the left and the 'Fifth Lower Rank' on the right knelt down on one knee, lowered their heads, and sandwiched Captain Guts and Horobi in the middle.
The scene looked quite grim.
It's worth mentioning that these "Lower Rank Demons," who were originally dismissed by Muzan Kibutsuji because "Lower Rank Five 5 Rui" died at Tanjiro's hands, were fortunate enough to survive due to the unexpected appearance of Guts and Horobi.
"From now on, you will answer whatever I ask, and don't spout irrelevant nonsense with your pointless will."
Despite not being much taller than Captain Guts, Muzan Juzan's gaze, tone, and attitude exuded an air of superiority and arrogance.
Captain Guts simply shrugged, indicating he had no objection. Their priority was stalling for time, so verbal communication was naturally the best option.
"But this guy's aura isn't really that strong."
He had, of course, received the information about Muzan. Now, through the actual verification of his Observation Haki, he found that Muzan was indeed not strong enough to be irresistible; he was only slightly stronger than himself.
This put Captain Guts at ease.
Muzan couldn't hear his inner thoughts, because she could only hear the thoughts of the Man-Eating Demon.
"Answer three questions first: Where are you from? What is the Kabane? And why did you come to Japan?" Muzan Kibutsuji asked coldly.
Captain Guts and Horobi exchanged a glance.
"We come from the World Government, and the Kabane, like you, are man-eating, blood-drinking monsters. As for our purpose here, it is, of course, to find you."
Captain Guts was naturally the one responsible for answering.
"What is World Government, and what do they want with us?"
Muzan Kibutsuji, who is currently playing the role of a successful entrepreneur enjoying life, has some understanding of the international situation, but she has never heard of any World Government.
"The World Government is an international organization with over 170 Affiliated Nation, and we two are members of the 'Nue' squad of its direct intelligence department, CIPHER POL. We're here to invite you to join the World Government!"
Captain Guts made no attempt to hide anything and openly explained his side's situation.
However, Muzan Kibutsuji believed that this World Government was an international alliance recently established by numerous countries overseas.
"So, besides you Kabane and us demons, there are other monsters in other parts of the world?"
Captain Guts smiled at this question, but his black Visor concealed the smile.
"Certainly!"
"Giants tens of meters tall, Fish-Man Race who can control water, Mink Tribe that resemble humanoid animals and can release electricity, tiny Tontatta Tribe are as small as elves, Snake-Neck Tribe with necks as long as snakes, and so on. You and we are never alone. There are countless strange monsters in this world!"
Heaven and earth bear witness, Captain Guts stated that he was telling the absolute truth.
These words were like a mental bomb, creating Tornado storm in the hearts of Muzan Kibutsuji and the 'Twelve Kizuki'.
"So this is what the outside world is like?"
Muzan Kibutsuji has never left Japan in the past thousand years.
Because she believed that the 'doctor' was a Japan had never been abroad, the 'Blue Spider Lily' in the prescription couldn't possibly be overseas.
There was no need for her to travel to other countries, which meant that despite having a thousand years of experience, her understanding of things outside of Japan was basically all from newspaper articles published in recent decades.
"If that's the case, then I can give you my answer now: I refuse, and from this day forward you will never be allowed to set foot in Japan again, because this is my territory!"
"As expected?"
Captain Guts wasn't surprised at all by Muzan Kibutsuji's words, because the intelligence report stated that this so-called 'Progenitor of Demons' appeared to be very domineering, but was actually just a coward.
Although she was curious, she wasn't particularly interested in experiencing new things. On the contrary, the sheer size of the World Government instilled fear in her and created a clear sense of resistance.
"That's impossible. No one can stop the World Government. Soon, our large forces will flood in here. You'll have no choice but to engage then. I suggest you prepare yourself mentally while you still have some time."
Captain Guts gave a sincere and admonishing tone.
This also ignited Muzan Kibutsuji's anger, and a strong killing intent flashed in his eyes as he looked at them.
"Since that's the case, you deserve to die. As for that so-called World Government's large force, if they dare to set foot in Japan, I will slaughter them all. Let's start with the two of you."
"Kill them!"
At Muzan Kibutsuji's command, the Eleven Demon Moons on both sides attacked without hesitation. The fastest of them all was naturally the strongest, Upper Rank One, Kokushibo.
It vanished from its spot in an instant.
In Setsuna, countless bright yellow crescent moons, accompanied by two silvery-white arc-shaped blades of wind, slashed horizontally towards Captain Guts and Horobi at an extremely fast speed.
"Moon Breathing - Second Form - Jeweled Flower Moon!"
"Hmph, Rankyaku!"
Captain Guts snorted coldly upon seeing this, and immediately launched a bright blue crescent-shaped vacuum slash with a high kick.
His was larger and longer, and in the blink of an eye, he cut the two incoming blades of wind in mid-air, continuing to fly rapidly toward where Kokushibo was.
At the same time,
Attacks from the other Upper Rank also came from all directions.
Upper Rank Two: Doma's Blood Demon Art: Winter Icicle! Upper Rank Three: Akaza's Blood Demon Art: Destructive Killing: Air Type! Upper Moon Five: Gyokko's Blood Demon Art: Thousand Needle Fish Kill!
Only Upper Rank Four: Hantengu.
Because of its special circumstances, it timidly crawled over, looking fearful, as if it didn't want to join the battle but dared not disobey Muzan Kibutsuji's orders.
As for the 'Lower Rank', their reaction was a beat slower than that of the 'Upper Rank'. Realizing that they could not participate in the attack immediately, they could only patrol and guard the perimeter.
