Your Own Choice

The Game Treasury of the Endless Dreamer has been transformed into the system's capabilities.

Resources can be converted into cards, which are divided into several types, including item cards, skill cards, weapon cards, and so on.

Currently, the resources that can be converted are affected by practical factors. Because his soul strength is relatively weak, the system's functions are limited. Perhaps in the future, after his soul is enhanced, the system's functions will be able to convert things like character cards and treasure cards.

"Supreme Will".

As Long walked back to the village, his eyes gleamed.

The sublimation of one's own will is the purest form of spiritual growth, unlike in the game "Hunter x Hunter," where one uses abilities or external objects to strengthen the soul.

In other words, when traversing worlds, there is no need to reduce the burden on the soul or undergo segmentation... it is a primal transformation of the soul.

Growth requires experience and insight.

In the Hunter x Hunter World, Oboro gained a lot of insights through the manifestation of his own will.

In the world of Demon Slayer, the will he will pass on is one of inheritance.

Self-will resides in the individual; simply put, it's enough for them to become stronger and to uphold and firmly believe in their own ideas. However, the success of passing on this will, and whether it can be successfully cultivated, depends on the chosen target, that is, an outsider... It's full of uncertainties.

Therefore, Oboro also needs to determine whether there is someone in the world of Demon Slayer who can carry on his legacy.

Most importantly, by perfectly embodying this inherited will, he can gain some insight... allowing his spirit, including his understanding of the 'supreme will,' to become more thorough. Only when he is touched and understands what 'inheritance' is, can Oboro's goal be considered achieved.

Otherwise, it is very likely to end in failure.

But no matter what... with the system's abilities, he can plunder some resources in Demon Slayer to prepare for the next world.

Furthermore... after helping the power system of this world to grow a second time, he should be able to gain some benefits from the will of this world itself, that is, from the 'Little Tree'.

Long has already seen the path she will take in the future.

Before returning to the Hunter x Hunter World, he will use his supreme will to enrich Enhancement's abilities, helping him break through the barriers between different dimensions and gain the means to survive in each world. Because from now on, the worlds he travels to will all have power systems no lower than Demon Slayer... They are full of unknowns, and if there are spaces with particularly powerful or bizarre power systems or settings, he must have sufficient strength to protect himself.

In Demon Slayer, the sense of leisure and ease that exists due to the 'power system suppression'... may not always be maintained.

"Whether the will to be passed on succeeds or not, it is not a wasted trip."

After a while, Oboro returned to the shrine in Qinglin Town.

At this moment, all the unconscious villagers had woken up. When they saw the traces of the battle and the blood, especially the destroyed shrine in front of them, they were all terrified and completely panicked.

Meanwhile, Oboro's two maids were tied up with ropes by the villagers.

They are sacrifices; they cannot leave.

They were still planning to continue the 'transaction' ritual after the ghost returned.

"It's him!"

Someone spotted Oboro approaching and immediately called out.

A large group of people swarmed around it.

"Where is God deity...?"

"Tie him up first!"

Why didn't he die?

A series of distorted faces came into view through the blurry vision.

Through 'selling,' these villagers can obtain money and protection from Mireimaru... The selfish side of human nature is vividly displayed and amplified in this environment.

As long as you're doing well, you don't care about morality or good and evil... This world is inherently unequal, and it's a 'cannibalistic' world.

The old man who had escorted Oboro to this place earlier pointed his knife at him again, his face fierce.

"Those two samurai with swords... one with fiery red hair and the other with gray hair, they suddenly barged in, they must have done something?! Do you know anything about it?!" The old man pressed the tip of his short dagger against Oboro's face, demanding an answer with an imposing air.

In the old man's eyes, the important figure from the Shogunate in front of him was a coward who clung to life.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have obediently been sent over.

They didn't even resist.

If he just scare him a little, the man will definitely tell the truth.

"Actually, you're not wrong... You're all just trying to survive, and selfishness is an inherent quality of human nature. It's just that the ways and means by which we express our humanity can be good or bad, and that determines our respective destinies... So, when you choose this path, you must learn to accept your fate."

He stared blankly at the aggressive villagers.

Even some of the children looked at him with hatred and murderous intent, and whispered.

"Um?"

Everyone was stunned upon hearing this.

I don't understand what he meant by suddenly saying that.

But the next second... they found out.

The black haori fluttered, like a drifting wisp of cloud.

The two maids kneeling in the distance saw their master's wooden staff instantly transform into a weapon as sharp as a blade, sweeping wildly and churning through the crowd.

Those figures standing on the ground, gathered together, looked like rag dolls being torn apart; in an instant, their organs and flesh flew out, and they fell to the ground with a thud.

The shadowy figure only flickered a few times in the crowd.

He then flashed in front of the maid.

Behind him lay a ground littered with corpses.

No one survived; they all died...

Chiyoko and Rina both turned deathly pale instantly.

As Oboro's personal maids, they had served him since childhood. This lord was frail and sickly from a young age. Although he had the background of being a retainer of the Shogunate, he was actually very humble, even somewhat timid. His samurai identity was merely a decorative embellishment to allow him to reside in the magistrate's office; he had hardly ever touched a sword.

When something significant happens within the magistrate's office, he only makes a brief appearance and rarely goes out.

But things have been different since this man recovered from a serious illness a few months ago.

Both of them noticed a change in the man's personality.

First, he changed his surname, then he killed a demon with a single sword strike at night, and now he lives permanently at the Mount Kumotori ...

Now we've arrived in Qinglin Town.

However, during this time, Oboro always behaved very gently, sometimes with a smile on her face, and was very polite to people... This made them feel a little unfamiliar, but also very warm.

However... at this moment, what happened before their eyes made the two of them feel as if they had fallen into an ice cellar.

I almost didn't recognize her...

Especially Oboro's eyes, which gleamed with a cold light.

Cold and emotionless.

Most importantly, everyone... is dead.

In the blink of an eye, he was killed.

The one who was killed was a person... not a ghost.

This behavior...

This completely overturned their understanding of Oboro over the past few months.

The two were even still thinking... what had happened?

The fluttering haori swayed gently, slowly drooping down to Ryou's waist.

The blood-stained cane fell to the ground. Long walked past the two maids and strode away into the distance.

They ignored the frightened girls.

There was no further explanation or superfluous statement.

"Follow or leave... the choice is yours."

Only one sentence remains, lingering in the cool night breeze.
