Muzan Visits the Biochemical Research Institute!

The Demon Slayer Corps Headquarters is hidden among towering mountains. The lush vegetation makes the nights very cool, but there are quite a few mosquitoes.

In the master bedroom in the backyard of the manor, Amane Ubuyashiki sat beside her husband, holding his arm, listening to his words and the chirping of insects outside.

Her original name was Amane Jingū, an extremely beautiful woman with snow-white silver hair, who was even called the 'Birch Tree Fairy' by the Mist Hashira Muichiro Tokito.

The Jingū are an ancient lineage of God's Official in Japan, who are born with vitality far exceeding that of ordinary people.

In order to help the Ubuyashiki Clan continue its bloodline as much as possible, they intermarried with the heirs of the latter's family generation after generation. Even so, the boys of Ubuyashiki did not live past the age of thirty.

Amane married Kagaya Ubuyashiki when she was seventeen and he was only thirteen. Originally, she was dissatisfied with this marriage that was not free for her.

But after meeting Kagaya Ubuyashiki, he said to himself, "If you don't like it, then I'll refuse."

His consideration for her own position ultimately led her to decide to marry him.

Over the years, she has given birth to one son and four daughters for him, and has tried her best to be a perfect wife, helping him manage various affairs of the Demon Slayer Corps.

"Amane, I saw it."

Kagaya Ubuyashiki's blind eyes seemed to be gazing at the Milky Galaxy through the beaded curtain of the window, uttering a profound statement.

Is this our future life?

Amane Ubuyashiki, however, was not surprised at all, and looked at her husband's face with a slightly curious gaze.

"Yes, it was a place called the Flower Capital. Cherry Blossom petals were floating in the air, and I saw you and Kiriya with happy smiles on your faces."

"It sounds like we're doing well."

Amane Ubuyashiki revealed a gentle, joyful smile.

She knew that the men of the Ubuyashiki Clan all Awakening the ability to Future Sight, and that the heads of the clan had used this ability to conduct business and earn enough wealth to provide the Demon Slayer Corps with the large sums of money it needed.

This ability to predict can be considered both controllable and uncontrollable.

The controllability lies in his ability to decide when to activate his power, while the uncontrollability lies in the fact that the predicted timing is random, and what he sees is only a scene that will occur within a certain period of roughly one year.

"However, I also see the future of this country, a future filled with war and death."

Kagaya Ubuyashiki felt very heavy-hearted at that moment.

Clearly, the 'invitation' and 'joining' that Laskey spoke of were not friendly negotiations, but rather an extremely aggressive military invasion; as he said before, this was conquest!

Amane Ubuyashiki had already heard about what had happened that afternoon, so she naturally understood what her husband meant.

"We can't stop it, can we?"

"But I'm wondering if we should give the Japanese Government a heads-up, after all, we've lived in this country for thousands of years."

Kagaya Ubuyashiki was caught in a dilemma and distress. The feeling of knowing that a great disaster was about to happen, yet having to remain silent, and even having to go to live in the world of the invaders, was agonizing for this gentle man to the core.

Amane Ubuyashiki understood her husband's feelings and placed her slender hand on his cheek.

Even if you put these things on the Prime Minister's desk, would they believe you? And even if they did, what difference would it make?

As she spoke, she took a newspaper from a drawer and looked at the picture on the front page, saying softly.

"This is the latest issue of the Asahi Shimbun. It reports that the main urban area of Hachioji City has been reduced to ruins by Super Sandstorm. A large crack has appeared, measuring 17 meters deep, 5 meters wide, and over 400 meters long, with severe desertification at its edges."

These words plunged Kagaya Ubuyashiki into a long silence.

He knew what his wife wanted to say; this was definitely a major move by Vice Admiral Crocodile.

Such formidable combat power, comparable to a natural disaster, was practically invincible to the Japanese Government, while such a figure was merely a Vice Admiral in that World Government!

Who knows how many Vice Admiral they have? And who knows how terrifying the Admiral above them are?

Perhaps, we could allow them to evacuate the crowd in advance.

But if the World Government finds out, wouldn't that cut off the chance to change the fate of the Ubuyashiki Clan and ruin their happy future?

"Eh----"

In the end, even the Demon Slayer Corps' Master could only let out a long sigh.

The following morning.

Laskey stood quietly by the window of his guest room, watching the large flock of crows fly away like a dark cloud.

This is the Demon Slayer Corps recalling its dispatched members.

After all, such momentous events as joining the World Government and heading to the Sea Star World naturally require a grand meeting with everyone.

Those who are willing can come together; those who are not can stay.

A moment later, Laskey took out Den Den Mushi and reported the situation of the Demon Slayer Corps to the command center of the Otherworld Strategy Committee.

Sea Star World.

In the first half of the Grand Line, in the Triangle Current reserved for the World Government, a Marine warship is sailing at an extremely high speed through the turbulent waters.

Muzan Kibutsuji stood by the round window, numbly watching the massive iron gate slowly closing behind him. The Five-Circle Cross engraved on the gate was so glaring.

He already knows the truth about the World Government.

Along the way, he first saw the black army pouring in, then the magical Star Gate that could traverse between two worlds, and finally the vast, crimson land.

Naturally, they also knew where they were headed.

I heard it's an Impel Down called 'Impel Down'.

Behind Muzan stood a woman dressed in a black kimono, whose long black bangs covered half of her face; she was his attendant, 'Nakime'.

It was thanks to her Blood Demon Art that the teleportation function of the Infinity Castle had been able to operate normally for hundreds of years.

Now, it seems that the World Government also values this ability of hers.

As for the 'Twelve Kizuki,' they were Muzan so lucky. Thinking of this, Muzan turned his head and glanced expressionlessly at Crocodile, who was sitting leisurely in his chair with his legs crossed, constantly puffing out cigar smoke.

It was precisely because of the existence of this man, who was like a god of the desert in mythology, that he dared not have the slightest thought of escaping, even though he was not bound by any physical constraints.

Soon.

The warship arrived at the steel gates of the Impel Down. As always, eight Marine warship were stationed outside the high walls.

The overwhelming sense of oppression was enough to make one feel suffocated.

At this moment, Impel Down, having received the news, had already deployed its forces, with dozens of prison guards armed with rifles standing on both sides of the stone bridge, their eyes fixed straight ahead.

"Welcome back, Vice Admiral Crocodile!"

Magellan, dressed in a black uniform and adorned with bat wings on his back, looked down at Crocodile as he approached and greeted him.

"Hehe."

Crocodile's lips twitched slightly at his greeting.

"Another Titans."

Muzan Kibutsuji stared speechlessly at Magellan, who was nearly five meters tall. To him, a demon who was less than 1.8 meters tall, Crocodile, who was 2.5 meters tall, was already quite tall.

"So this is the prisoner from another world? You're lucky, because you're the first one, enough to go down in the history of Impel Down."

After saying that, Magellan waved his hand and said, "Come with me, you still need to go through a few procedures."

"Just a heads-up, this guy's no weaker than me, you'd better behave yourself."

Crocodile bent down and whispered a warning in Muzan's ear, then turned and left without another word; he truly didn't want to stay there for another second.

Muzan didn't reply. In fact, even without him saying anything, he could sense the dangerous aura emanating from Magellan.

Accompanied by a group of prison guards, he and Nakime passed through a rising iron bar and arrived at the stone building on the first floor above the sea.

"Ahhh----"

"No, no!"

"Help me! I don't want to go down! Ah----"

Instantly, desperate and frantic pleas for mercy, painful and miserable howls, and all sorts of sounds filled with negative emotions flooded into the ears of Muzan Kibutsuji and Nakime.

Hey, you know what, when Muzan heard these sounds, he wasn't scared or nervous at all; instead, Zero an expression of enjoyment.

To be honest, if he weren't a prisoner, he actually quite liked the atmosphere here.

"Come here, put the three-piece suit on him!"

Magellan gave the order to Moonlight Moria and Taklama, who were glaring at each other not far away.

Because Moria had previously cut off Taklama's shadow, the two had a grudge against each other. Although he knew that this was a decision made by the World Government's higher-ups to protect him, he could only cause trouble for Moria.

So whenever the two met, he would always be sarcastic and sometimes they would even exchange a few blows, only to be taught a lesson by Magellan who would arrive later. Day after day, they became a pair of sworn enemies known to everyone in Impel Down.

"Three items?"

"Who is this important person?"

Gecko Moria and Taklama snorted coldly after hearing this, then walked over while curiously watching Muzan and Nakime.

It's important to know that the rules in Impel Down have changed.

The first four underground 'Hell' levels have been basically cleared out, and everyone has been taken out to serve as laborers for various infrastructure projects. From now on, only criminals with bounties of hundreds of millions will be qualified to be imprisoned here and Seastone Handcuffs.

Based on this, criminals deemed extremely dangerous and potentially capable of escaping would have their shadows cut off by Moria, so that even if they did manage to escape using various strange abilities, they would most likely be roasted to death by the sunlight.

Then, criminals deemed extremely dangerous and of extremely high value, or monsters deemed worthy of being imprisoned in the 'Level 6 Infinite Hell,' will be given an additional 'Slave Green Ring.'

This is why the prison guards jokingly call it the 'one-piece suit,' 'two-piece suit,' and 'three-piece suit'!

Soon.

Muzan Kibutsuji and Nakime were first handcuffed by their wrists and ankles, then Gecko Moria used a large pair of scissors to remove their shadows, and finally, the Slave King Taklama placed an emerald Green Ring around their necks.

"Muzan Kibutsuji, I've seen your file."

"I know the Seastone Handcuffs won't work on your abilities, and you can also freely manipulate your body, but don't let me find out you've taken them off without permission. Trust me, you don't want to experience the consequences."

Magellan stared down at the two Otherworld prisoners in front of him with a fierce gaze.

He knew that it made no difference whether they had shadows or not, since these ghosts were destined to die in the light, but it was part of the process.

"Oh?"

"I'm curious what your ability is?"

Once Muzan Kibutsuji saw that Crocodile had disappeared, his courage began to return. He didn't believe that there were so many people in the world who were his natural enemy.

Just as he was about to make his move, the ring around his neck suddenly emitted a bright green light, and his body calmed down uncontrollably.

"Of course, you can't just take them off without permission."

Magellan snorted coldly and walked towards the large elevator in the distance without saying a word.

At this moment, Taklama sneered, "I order you all to obediently follow Vice Warden Magellan and obey his orders!"

The next moment.

Muzan Kibutsuji with shock, followed along with Nakime, his body practically becoming a puppet under her control!

At the same time, he felt despair about his future.

The two were then taken to a large hall filled with hot, humid air.

A group of trembling men and women of all shapes and sizes were seen standing in a long line under the watchful eyes of prison guards holding whips on both sides, heading towards the depths from which wails and screams could be heard.

"You all go and line up to be baptized; I'll be waiting for you up ahead."

After saying that, Magellan ignored them, Muzan and Nakime's bodies obediently joined the end of the group, and as time passed, they slowly arrived at a stone platform that resembled a diving platform.

"Oh~ so baptism is just jumping into a hot bath?"

Muzan walked to the edge of the stone platform, glanced down at the large iron pot filled with boiling water, and the next second, without waiting for the tall jailer beside him to urge him, he jumped down without hesitation.

With a splash, a large amount of scalding hot waves and white steam rose up.

Next.

Nakime also jumped down decisively, but compared to Muzan's Muzan, she couldn't help but groan in pain. Her pale skin turned red at a visible speed, and burn marks began to appear.

However, her extraordinary self-healing ability as a demon keeps her skin in a constant state of burning, healing, and then being burned again.

That feeling must be pretty intense, right?

The baptism lasted only ten minutes. After emerging from the hot water pool, Muzan and Nakime changed into clean zebra-print prison uniforms and boarded a large elevator with Magellan.

Finally, the Level 5.5 basement level. As the elevator doors opened, a silvery-white space filled with eerie purple light and a dozen or so people in white coats came into view.

"Haha, they've finally arrived!"

Dr. Fritz looked at Muzan Kibutsuji and Nakime with a beaming smile and said, "Welcome to the Biochemical Research Institute, the 'Progenitor of Demons' of another world. From now on, this will be your permanent residence!"

"Hey! I've been looking forward to it for a long time. I heard that you have lived for thousands of years. Please let me study your body!"

Muzan stared speechlessly at the creature with ram horns on its head, nearly a meter taller than Crocodile. He was now certain that this was a world teeming with Titans.

There's another one behind that's even bigger and taller, I'd guess it's over six meters tall, right?

At the same time.

Queen, who had only been there a short time, also looked at Muzan Kibutsuji and Nakime with curiosity. He was more interested in these demons' super regenerative abilities than their lifespans.

Besides them, Souei Wei from the Kabane World was also in the crowd.

His latest research found that even if Kabaneri's body is damaged, such as missing an arm or a leg, it will automatically recover within one or two months as long as its heart is not damaged and it has enough human blood to consume.

This should have been a discovery of great value, but the appearance of these demons in the Demon Slayer World has rendered the Kabane's self-healing ability somewhat useless.

So he wanted to see if the ghost's bloodline genes could enhance the Kabaneri's self-healing speed.

In short, Muzan Kibutsuji is currently being stared at by more than a dozen pairs of burning eyes, and he will soon be the biggest 'star' in the Biochemical Research Institute!
