Oboro surpasses Tanjiro's timeline in the original work, becoming the new Demon King ahead of schedule.

Only...

"This power of flesh and blood..."

After shaking off Muzan, Oboro felt his new body and smiled.

From a physical standpoint, it absolutely surpasses the life of most Hunter x Hunter.

But it's still... too weak.

In terms of physical damage alone, this body probably couldn't withstand even a single blow from the 100-Type Guanyin Bodhisattva.

With Zeno's Emission- type Nen power, he could instantly destroy this flesh and blood, leaving not a single cell behind.

Not to mention the various Nen that can ignore 'realistic factors'.

Of course, the key is that in the world of Hunter x Hunter, there exists a power concept called 'Nen'.

Demon Slayer does not have a power source comparable to it.

However, in the world of Demon Slayer, this body has already reached the very top.

The attributes have been slightly enhanced, but not to an unreasonable degree. The biggest improvement of the Ghost King in this new life level is that it has overcome sunlight.

In terms of vitality, as long as there is one cell left, it can recover quickly.

It sounds insane, but it depends on the enemy and the environment. In the advanced world, there are many ways to make a person evaporate and disappear in an instant.

His current state reminded him of an anime character.

Kars, the ultimate creature in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, is almost immortal.

It was eventually sent into outer space and became a statue made of minerals.

Furthermore, his level of recovery only changed after Muzan's strength increased... If it were Tanjiro in the future who transformed into a demon king, he wouldn't reach such a tiny level as 'individual cells,' and would only be immune to sunlight and the damage from Nichirin Sword.

As for Doma and Kokushibo.

Oboro only helped them break free from Muzan's control; he did not pass on his will.

However, the conflict between the two and Muzan is irreconcilable.

A battle is inevitable.

"That's about it... There's nothing more I need to do. Now we just have to wait for it to blossom and bear fruit."

Long smiled slightly as she greeted the rising sun.

In his perception, the will of this world had grown from a Little Tree to a very strong and upright one.

The withered branches and leaves have regained their green color, creating a lush and verdant canopy.

The next step, and the final step... is to bear fruit.

This is the limit of what he can achieve with his abilities.

Help the 'Little Tree' to grow back to this height.

If it were to grow any taller, firstly, it would break through the 'roof,' which is the spacetime barrier, and secondly, he didn't have the ability to do so.

The greenhouse he saw protecting the 'Little Tree' meant that this was the maximum height a tree could grow in the Demon Slayer world.

Once the spacetime barrier is destroyed, this world will be annihilated... in other words, it will die.

Even if, with his help, the power system of Demon Slayer Future will be completely renewed and cross the threshold of the higher world, it will probably still be the lowest level in the sequence of higher worlds.

As for comparing it to Hunter x Hunter, it's simply impossible.

Because even in the higher world, Hunter x Hunter is definitely among the best.

This doesn't refer to Nen or the human world, but simply because the 'Dark Continent' exists within the Hunter x Hunter.

Based on Oboro's experiences and his observations of the Demon Slayer world's will, it's likely that... the Hunter x Hunter World has already reached the level of the top dimensional world.

What is the top-tier dimension?

The most representative example is Dragon Ball.

In that time and space, a planet and a civilization could be destroyed in the blink of an eye.

For some powerful characters in Dragon Ball, in a world like Hunter x Hunter, a single move could completely destroy them.

But the strength of Hunter x Hunter lies in its incredibly complex power system.

There are some things, or rather, things, that cannot be killed by ordinary sources of power.

Perhaps powerful energy is not the most deadly thing for them.

Especially when rules are involved...

However, energy is always relative, and so are rules. When using the power of rules to fight against an unbearable force, it will also fail.

So... Hunter x Hunter Master can't compare to Dragon Ball; this is just a comparison made by Oboro.

There are quite a few other top-tier timelines that are weaker than Dragon Ball.

Hunter x Hunter, after all, just a higher world, merely approaching the top dimension, and not yet a part of it.

Before the Shogunate collapsed, Oboro had already made preparations and accumulated some wealth.

Although he is no longer involved in power, he can still live a good life in the secular world.

Instead of returning to Entertainment District, he changed his appearance and settled down in a town at the Mount Kumotori after a long period of time.

Today, this small town has become very prosperous, with an expanded area and a much larger population.

The architecture also exhibited a style different from that of the Edo period.

The chaos of the human world has disappeared, and it is not as turbulent as the late Edo period. Although ghosts are now everywhere, they have formed a certain 'tacit understanding' with humans. With the Taisho era democratic atmosphere, it is a completely new era.

Long bought a new house.

His former residence here is now in ruins.

He hired some servants and began his reclusive life.

The following day, Oboro went up Mount Kumotori alone.

The dwelling place of the Kamado Clan.

Everything felt so familiar...

The house stands in the same spot, in a clearing in the woods.

However, it appears to have been recently renovated.

When Long arrived, he happened to see a man chopping wood and making a fire, while a woman was hanging clothes to dry nearby.

The man wore familiar Hanafuda Earrings, and his hair and pupils were also dark red.

Clearly, they are contemporary descendants of the Kamado Clan.

Hello, may I ask...?

As soon as Long stood at the intersection, the man's gaze was already fixed on her.

They had clearly noticed it long ago.

His five senses are extremely sharp.

It's summer now, not the season for selling charcoal, so as Kamado Tanpei said before, it's more suitable to pick some wild vegetables or chop firewood to sell.

The man wiped the sweat from his forehead, a warm smile on his face, and greeted them.

My first thought was that Long was lost in the mountains.

However, upon seeing Oboro's appearance and attire, his eyes widened in surprise.

"May I have your name?"

Long asked with a soft laugh.

"Black haori... How... How could this be?"

The man looked shocked.

He also has this outer garment; it was passed down from his ancestors.

Furthermore, he also knew the origin of this special haori.

It was a gift from a great man named Oboro to the Kamado Clan a hundred years ago.

The ancestors even preserved the image of that person in the form of a wood carving.

"I...I am Kamado Tanjuro."

The man's throat bobbed.

On his face, Oboro saw the outlines and eyebrows of Kamado Tanpei and Kamado Tanjiro from back then, only Tanjiro Kamado was fatter and less slender, and he no longer had that sickly look.

A burlap headscarf was wrapped around his short hair.

"You are..."

Kamado Tanjuro hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

Long knew what he wanted to ask.

I was just about to answer.

The next second, the man, who had been unsettled, suddenly narrowed his eyes, stared intently at Oboro, and his expression changed.

At the same time, he raised the wood-chopping knife in his hand, pointed it at Long, and said decisively, "You are not that person!"

"What... are you?!"

"Oh?"

Oboro Ichiraku.

"You actually noticed it... It seems that helping the Kamado Clan improve their Sun Breathing back then was indeed the right thing to do."
