A Great Civilization That Never Existed!
The arrival of the Demon Slayer Corps pleased Imu, as it made the Sea Star World even more lively.
As the leader of the Sea Star, his vision for the future of this world is to transform it into the central hub of Heavens and Myriad Worlds, a vibrant and diverse core world where a hundred flowers bloom.
"These four sisters, who look almost identical, would be perfect as maids."
On the virtual image in mid-air, photos of Ubuyashiki, Jingū, important characters from the Demon Slayer Corps, and Tamayo, Yushiro, and others were displayed.
Imu certainly has maids now, and quite a few, but as a transmigrator, he still desires some special ones.
This is a perfectly normal collecting habit!
"Speaking of which, according to the agreement with King Enma, we should also send some souls of people from the Demon Slayer World over there."
Imu was satisfied with the deal, since it gave him a way to continue improving his strength, and all he had to give up were the lives of some Otherworld beings and ownership of the Otherworld soul domain.
The World Government is currently powerless to intervene in the realm of souls; as for the future, we'll deal with that later.
"I'm not sure about the Kabane World, but the Demon Slayer World does have a Hell with a reincarnation mechanism. However, judging from the souls that keep popping up, it's clear that there's no professional organization managing it."
"What is the curse of the Ubuyashiki Family?"
Imu sat on the Empty Throne, frowning in thought, wondering, "Or is there no curse at all, and it's just a genetic disease?"
He considered these things because any world with a god must be treated with utmost care.
"Sir, this is a newly delivered Nichirin Blade."
Stussy carried a silver tray into the empty hall. Imu slightly raised his head, his cold gaze focused on the black-sheathed Samurai on the tray.
Although Noah was always in flight, the World Government always found a way to send things over, such as having someone with the ability to fly deliver them personally.
The next second.
As soon as Stussy stood still in the audience, the knife, under the control of Formless force, flew swiftly to Imu and automatically detached from its sheath, hovering silently in the air.
Imu narrowed his eyes, sensing the faint golden aura emanating from the Nichirin Blade.
"Is this the energy of sunlight?"
If he could bring this Nichirin Blade to Hell, it would surely be quite lethal to those demons. Unfortunately, he can only rely on the power of the 'Enma Blade' to allow his soul to freely enter and leave Enma Hell.
After thinking for a moment, Imu stood up and took the hilt of the knife in his own hand.
Really.
A few breaths later, bright silver lightning patterns began to appear on the blade of the Nichirin Blade, living up to its reputation as the 'Color-Changing Blade'.
"Isn't this my Conqueror's Haki?"
Imu examined the patterns on the blade with great interest. It is said that the color-changing principle of this Nichirin Blade is to reflect the wielder's inner thoughts onto the blade.
Of course, if one practices a certain Breathing Technique, the corresponding color of that Breathing Technique will take precedence over the inner characteristics.
Next, increase the pressure you apply to the knife.
As this process unfolded, Imu could clearly feel the blade rapidly heating up and turning red. Soon, it transformed into a Samurai radiating intense heat, as if it had been heated to a red-hot state.
This is the evolved form of the Nichirin Blade: the Crimson Blade!
The key is body temperature. The Demon Slayer Corps uses the "Total Concentration Breathing Technique" to accelerate blood flow and heart rate, raising body temperature and heating the blood, thereby maximizing muscle strength.
Based on the unique physical constitution of humans in the Demon Slayer World.
At such times, their bodies, with a temperature above 39 degrees Celsius and a pulse rate exceeding 200 beats per minute, have a chance to Awakening 'stripes' that further enhance their physical abilities and greatly increase their grip strength, naturally causing the Nichirin Blade in their hands to transform into Crimson Blade.
In Imu's perception, the pale golden aura emanating from the blade became more pronounced, indicating that the sunlight energy had become more concentrated.
"I'm curious, where are your limits?"
A slight smile played on his lips as he tightened his grip on the blade. At the same time, the already Crimson Blade began to emit an even more intense red light.
"Oh!"
A moment later, the hilt of the knife creaked under Imu's grip, as if it were howling in pain, which made him stop using more force.
At this moment, the blade of the Crimson Blade was enveloped in a layer of golden and red flames.
It seems this is the strongest form of the Nichirin Blade. He now really wants to find Muzan Kibutsuji to test it on and see if this blade has any effect on him.
According to Imu's memories, ordinary Crimson Blade were ineffective against Muzan's infinite self-healing.
"It seems that the reason why Yoriichi Tsugikuni was able to inflict Muzan wounds on Yoriichi Tsugikuni then was because he brought the temperature of the Nichirin Blade close to this state, or the Sun Breathing had some kind of amplifying effect on the Nichirin Blade."
"But shouldn't I give this form of Nichirin Blade a name?"
Just as Imu began to consider a name, Stussy below the stage and the Kuja Guard standing on both sides were all looking at the Nichirin Blade in his hand with astonishment.
The aura emanating from the knife subconsciously reminded them of the midday sun, only without its blinding intensity.
"Let's call it the Blaze Blade, the Blade of Radiant Flame!"
Imu made a decision, and decided to collect such a Nichirin Blade. It was best to have one of these weapons, which possessed a strong power of sunlight.
After all, there will definitely be dark attributes existing in the myriad worlds of the future.
However, Blaze Blade is just the name of this form. As the Nichirin Blade becomes more widespread in the Sea Star World, there will definitely be more and more Blaze Blade appearing.
He remembered that the sun-like aura of the Nichirin Blade would increase as the content of 'Scarlet Ore' and 'Scarlet Iron Sand' increased, just like the chain hammer and chain axe of the Stone Hashira, Gyomei Himejima.
"Stussy, pass down the order: forge me a Nichirin Blade with the maximum content of 'Scarlet Ore' and 'Scarlet Iron Sand'!"
Imu felt that his Nichirin Blade should be the best Nichirin Blade, so that he could give it a better-sounding, exclusive name.
After saying that, he released the Nichirin Blade from his hand, waited for it to return to its original form, then inserted it back into the hilt, and then sent it back to the tray in Stussy's hand in the air.
"Yes!"
Stussy responded respectfully and quickly left the hall to inform the World Government.
Imu slowly sat back on the Empty Throne. When he talked about 'Scarlet Ore' and 'Scarlet Iron Sand', he thought of the strange things about the Demon Slayer World.
According to the reports from the Five Elders, the swordsmiths of the Demon Slayer Corps said that the two minerals containing the essence of the sun came from a place called Seven Star Mountain on the opposite continent, which, according to their tradition, is called 'Sun Mountain'.
Imu looked at the map and was surprised to find that this 'Sun Mountain' was the location of a North Pole Village in his previous life.
North Pole Village, a famous tourist destination in its previous life, was known as the "City That Never Sleeps" and was the best place to observe the Northern Lights.
Similarly, around the summer solstice each year, when it is almost daylight for 24 hours, the Demon Slayer Corps will purchase 'Scarlet Ore' and 'Scarlet Iron Sand' from maritime merchants during this season.
However, what surprised Imu the most was not the Seven Star Mountain and the North Pole Village, but the fact that that civilization did not exist on the Asia Continent of the Demon Slayer World.
Don't ask if it's reasonable or not; just read the description. In this regard, I'm completely unreasonable—if it doesn't exist, it doesn't exist!
