Hidan's Solution

At this moment, Hidan had no idea that he had already been misunderstood by the great Jashin-sama. After soaking in the hot bath, he climbed out of the Blood Pool.

"Ah, that felt good!"

He stretched hard, then looked at Simu and said in an extremely provocative tone, "Looks like you're not completely useless after all, trash Simu."

Simu glanced at him. A dark crimson blood shadow flashed past in an instant, cleanly severing Hidan's head.

"Mmm~~"

Hidan let out a muffled groan.

For a moment, Simu had no idea whether his beheading technique was a punishment or a reward for this guy!

These masochists were truly disgusting.

Especially masochists with Immortal Bodies!

Under the power of the Kagune, Hidan's head rolled across the ground several times before coming to a stop.

Unlike before, when he could only rage helplessly after his head hit the ground, this time Hidan directly shot out large amounts of spider silk from his neck, connecting his head and body together. Then, relying on the powerful vitality of his Immortal Body, he rapidly healed.

Soon, there was no trace of the wound at all!

"Kehehehehehe!"

A wild grin immediately spread across Hidan's face.

"Trash Simu, I won't be afraid of you cutting off my head anymore! Even if you chop me into eight pieces, I can put myself back together!"

"One day, I'll definitely kill you and sacrifice you to Jashin-sama!"

He drew the black spear in his hand and pointed it at Simu.

"No, not someday. As I am now, I can already defeat you!"

With that, he prepared to swing his spear and charge at Simu.

Simu sighed, feeling rather puzzled.

Could Kagune affect a person's brain too?

No, Hidan had never had a brain to begin with. Could it be that after entering Hidan's body, the Kagune had started functioning as his brain?

Facing Hidan's attack, Simu did not move at all. Two bright crimson limbs grew from his body, whipping up a dense blood-colored storm at terrifying speed.

Hidan had only charged halfway when he was swallowed by the storm and chopped into eight pieces!

Eight pieces in the most literal sense.

His head, both hands, both feet, and torso split into three pieces—eight pieces in total.

"Hmph, damn Simu, your attacks can't do anything to me now!"

Hidan was extremely confident. He activated the power of the Kagune within his body, preparing to reconnect and restore himself.

But no matter how hard he tried, the Parasitic Spiders on his body showed no reaction.

"Stop wasting your strength."

Simu crouched in front of Hidan and looked down at him. "I personally created all of these Kagune. As long as I want to, I can control their actions whenever I please."

The moment he heard that, Hidan's face fell. He roared in dissatisfaction, "I knew it! You definitely had bad intentions!"

Simu shrugged and said casually, "No matter what, you can't beat me. Having an extra Kagune at least gives you another trump card when dealing with other people."

That might have been true, but how could the mighty Lord Hidan be so spineless? He immediately declared, "Damn Simu, you'd better pull your filthy thing out of me! Let me tell you, even if I get beaten to death here today, I, Hidan, will never use your Kagune for even one second!"

"Mm-hm, sure, sure."

Simu did not argue. Once Hidan was truly chopped into eight pieces by someone else, he would understand what it meant to change his tune.

After unlocking Hidan's ability, Simu slowly took out a box.

Countless [Kakuhou] emerged from the Blood Pool, and Simu placed them into the box one by one.

After finally getting the chance to leave headquarters and carry out a mission, Simu would never give up an opportunity to spread the name of Jashin-sama.

After all, he had been in this world for three months, yet Jashin-sama's Raising Mini-game still had not leveled up!

How could he pass up the chance to farm some reputation for the Jashin Cult while carrying out a mission?

"Bastard Simu, just you wait! I'll definitely get revenge!"

Beside him, Hidan rubbed his neck. Though he had an Immortal Body, having his head cut off so many times still left him with some strange sensations.

"Now that you've finished packing up, hurry and go."

Simu picked up the box and walked out of the Shrine.

Hidan followed right behind him, muttering under his breath.

Neither of them had much to pack. Simu still needed to prepare a change of clothes, but Hidan did not need to bring anything at all.

To him, the mission site was only a day's journey away. Two days for the round trip, plus another two or three days to complete the mission.

Less than a week in total. Why change clothes? At worst, he could just wear them inside out.

"You two were pretty quick."

Kikuchi Miura was quite satisfied with them in that regard.

Two Jashin Cult followers stood beside him. They were Kikuchi Miura's assistants and also participants in this mission.

Rather than calling Kikuchi Miura and the others mission participants, it would be more accurate to call them supervisors.

The Cult Leader knew Hidan and Simu's strength. Completing a mission like this should not be a problem. The key was how they would complete it, and whether they would cause any trouble.

Especially Hidan. If no one supervised or restrained them and simply let them do as they pleased, the Jashin Cult might be besieged by the Five Great Nations tomorrow!

"Alright, stop rambling and get moving," Hidan said impatiently.

Kikuchi Miura gave Hidan a deep look but said nothing, heading straight into the forest.

As for the other two followers, they dared say even less.

Who in the Jashin Cult headquarters had not heard of the tyrannical might of the two God Children, Hidan and Simu? Offending them was no different from committing suicide.

Especially Lord Hidan—he really would chop you up just because he did not like the look of you!

The Jashin Cult headquarters had been built deep in the mountains. The surrounding forest was lush and dense, but there were not many wild animals.

Anything even remotely large, not just tigers and black bears—even rabbits had been captured by the Jashin Cult members and sacrificed to Jashin-sama.

At this moment, Simu and Hidan could only see tiny Black Beetles in the forest, or the occasional crow flying overhead.

As they walked, Kikuchi Miura began introducing the mission.

"Our mission is to reach Shuiyu Village before tomorrow night, use our Jashin Cult necklaces to contact Mr. Sakamoto, obtain intelligence about Gato from him, then head to the headquarters of Gato Shipping Company and kill Gato."

Hearing Kikuchi Miura's lengthy explanation, Hidan gave a bored yawn.

"What intelligence? What Sakamoto? If we want to kill Gato, why not just find him and kill him directly?"

Hidan gave Kikuchi Miura a disdainful look, as though he were disgusted by his intelligence.

Kikuchi Miura's face darkened. "Before a battle, we must first gather intelligence on the enemy!"

Hidan shot him a scornful look and said carelessly, "Gathering intelligence is something only weaklings need to do. The strong only need to go over, kill the enemy, and sacrifice them to Jashin-sama."
