Interspersed with Roy's reflections on "life," "the world," and... a series of "propositions" that every "human being" must face, based on "life," "the living," and "the dead"...

Roy decides to bring some shock from "another world" to the "natives" of this world!

Illusion Jutsu originates from "self-awareness".

And what exists in my Cognitive World?

There are Dream Passage... there's a familiar Sea of Cognition... there are "doors" standing on the sea's surface, each bearing a different pattern and representing a different themed world...

Strictly speaking... "I am the door, the door is me, I am... Mr. Door!"

"Squeak~" As crimson filled the Sun-Earring Boy's eyes, the three black tomoe slowly rotated. Roy's consciousness sank, his gaze falling on the Fake Ging. His lips moved slightly, and he silently uttered. "Illusion Jutsu: Unlimited Void..."

In the Cognitive World, leading to the world of Demon Slayer, a wooden door with a Demon mask hanging above its entrance suddenly peeks out a crack, then... slightly open... half open... until it's wide open!

Roy, relying on his own "Nen," contained the entire Demon Slayer world. With a thought, he attempted to immerse himself in all the "tangible" and "intangible" things within the Demon Slayer Demon Slayer world through imagination... Then, he compressed everything—including every flower, every blade of grass, every tree, every stone, every person, every demon, every house, every pond, every cloud, every day, every meal, every sleep—into a mere 0.01 seconds of his [worldview]...

Then, use the Sharingan to project it onto the Fake Ging!

From a distance of nearly a hundred meters, Fake Ging looked at Roy with apprehension, but when he suddenly met the Sun-Earring Boy's scarlet eyes with Three-Tomoe, he froze and fell into a daze!

"Chirp"

A swift swooped down, cutting through the rain...

Amidst the swirling mist, the world instantly transformed in the blink of an eye as the Fake Ging eyes blinked.

He had no idea what had just happened; he had only glanced at the other person when he turned into a birch tree... He struggled violently, trying to move his limbs, and the leaves rustled as they shook the trunk, scaring away a woodpecker that was perched on his body and trying to drive away insects.

"Tap... tap... tap..." The woodpecker flew away through the rain. Fake Ging saw it, bewildered and at a loss... A thought flashed through his mind, and he wondered, "How did I suddenly appear here? And how did I turn into a tree?"

As a result... his consciousness wavered... and when he came to his senses again... he had turned into a stubborn rock not far from the tree.

"Drip, drip..." The rain washed over the stone surface, cold and damp, making him feel extremely uncomfortable. He couldn't help but shiver, only to discover, to his dismay, that he couldn't even sneeze... He was resigned, he was terrified, he struggled frantically again, his consciousness wavering... When he regained his senses...

He suddenly found himself transformed back into a woodcutter, wearing a straw hat and carrying an axe, hurrying into the mountains to chop wood before nightfall, taking advantage of the last glimmer of light... He stood by the stream, watching a strange face reflected in its waters, and instantly, all the memories of his past flooded his mind... his children, his wife, his troubles, his joys, his sorrows... everything filled him with melancholy and a sudden realization. He awoke with a start, abandoning his woodcutting, and with a frantic urge, began to run, trying to escape this world. But...

Before he had even run a hundred meters, his consciousness flickered again, and when he came to his senses... he was already high in the sky, surrounded by a dark, oppressive cloud... The blazing Great Sun was overhead, while Thunder roared within him, crackling and surging like electric snakes...

Fake Ging's mouth gaped open, and with a roar... Boom! A bolt of lightning struck, unfortunately hitting a wolf that was hunting for food beneath him... The wolf foamed at the mouth, convulsed, and collapsed... Fake Ging stared blankly at everything, and then...

It turned into raindrops, pouring down...

She had become a woman, washing clothes by a pond in the village.

He transformed into a mule, letting out a pitiful howl as the peddler lashed him with his whip, then galloped wildly in pain, becoming a man-eating Demon. He then sneaked into a house under the cover of night, biting off a human's neck and feeling the blood spurt out... He became Demon Slayer, chasing Demon alongside the pillars... He became Himejima Gyomei Ubuyashiki Kagaya... He became Kibu Muzan, cowering in the indistinguishable Infinite Infinity Castle, where he saw in his heart that familiar face that filled him with terror, fear, and a desire to die immediately...

"It was him... the one who fought me... he's the one who threw me into this world!"

The Fake Ging- clad Muzan Kibutsuji, clutched his chest, gritting his teeth as he suddenly understood everything... Then his consciousness flickered again... This time he became Nakime, then Kokushibo... then Doma... then Uzui Tengen Gyutaro... then Tokito Muichiro...

He was like an outsider soul, trapped in the world of Demon Slayer, endlessly cycling through time, wanting to escape but unable to... He could only passively Kunai accept the [Demon Slayer world] imposed on him by Roy, his consciousness constantly cycling between "wandering" and "lost"... slowly sliding into the abyss of collapse.

"Buzz..." The [Dojutsu], activated by Nen Qi, continued to operate...

Hunter Association

Wing keenly noticed that the Fake Ging suddenly stopped moving. The Sun-Earring Boy's clear eyes, hidden behind his glasses, subconsciously drifted to Roy. The moment they met Roy's Three-Tomoe Sharingan that were slowly rotating in crimson... for some reason, a sense of fear rose up, causing him to stumble back two steps. His back then stopped abruptly as a small hand reached out and pressed against him!

"Don't panic, he's not targeting you." Biscuit supported Wing. Well... without the old man explaining, just by looking at the three tomoe appearing in Roy's pupils... the old woman narrowed her eyes and immediately judged... this was definitely not the Scarlet Eyes, one of the "Seven Wonders of the World".

"They're eyes I've never seen before... they seem rarer than some gemstones..." A flicker of emotion crossed Biscuit's beautiful amber eyes as she turned to look at Netero and asked, "Old man, have you figured anything out?"

In one corner of the floor, Netero, with her hair tied in a topknot and her ears adorned with two earrings, seemed to have forgotten to drink the red tea offered by the Beans. Her eyes, weathered by time and worldly experience, calm and unmoved by external things, were fixed on the scene, and a rare glint of light appeared in them!

The old man glanced around and saw that it wasn't just the Fake Ging who was frozen in place... In the several battlefields divided in the Land of No Owner, those facing Jin, Razor, Gotoh, and Elena... "Fake Razor," "Fake Gotoh," "Fake Elena," and that elephant-like Magic Beast with a membrane-like face, resembling an elephant's membrane... all stopped moving the moment Roy Sharingan, their whites rolling upwards, and they fell into a dazed state...

"People only freeze under a strong ideological shock."

"Hehehe... It's not that they don't want to move, it's that they can't move."

As the tea smoke curled upwards, the extraordinary insight of "Strongest Human" was uttered. Looking closely at the Fake Ging and Fake Razor in the picture, he felt a sense of dazedness, just like when he, Linne, Jager, and others first entered the Dark Continent and were attacked by Sandworm. He had also experienced this kind of dazed state for a very short time.

"Ideology..." Wing leaned against Biscuit's small but strong hand, repeatedly chewing on the phrase. Suddenly, Biscuit grabbed the tuft of hair on his head and ruffled it, saying, "... You're talking about cognition~"

Biscuit squinted at Roy's Sharingan, and said in a deep voice, "They were stunned, they must have seen something beyond their comprehension..."

"Beyond comprehension?"

"Right."

Curiosity took hold, Wing stealthily glanced at his master and then at his advisor... The latter stroked his beard, his eyes gleaming, seemingly... eager to try?

The Sun-Earring Boy's Adam's apple bobbed, he swallowed quietly, and then glanced at the screen again.

Inside the ruined church, the "Fake Razor," "Fake Gotoh," "Fake Elena," and "Elephant Tapir" all remained motionless...

Jin, Razor, Gotoh, and Elena were also clearly taken aback, immediately noticing their opponent's unusual behavior.

What happened?

"Why did the other party suddenly crash like a computer?"

Elena, who was dealing with the Elephant Tapir, seized the opportunity after a moment of distraction and hurriedly manipulated the button wrapped in [Button] to pierce the Elephant Tapir's body... A hazy mist surged, and the Elephant Tapir turned into a wisp of mist and dissipated. Then... the girl's vision blurred, and when she came to her senses, she had fallen out of the Land of No Owner and returned to reality.

"Puff... puff... puff..." Three more soft sounds followed...

Jin, Razor, Gotoh each fired three "Nen Bullet," killing the "Fake Razor," the "Fake Gotoh," and the "Fake Elena." Then... the illusion was broken, and they returned to reality. The group exchanged glances and then focused their attention on the figure at the front, who was not tall but exceptionally upright.

"Young Master..." Three tomoe slowly swirled in her blood-red pupils. Gotoh rushed to Roy's side immediately. The moment her long, narrow eyes, sometimes tinged with melancholy, met the Sun-Earring Boy's gaze, she froze on the spot, stopping in her tracks.

"It seems to be his... masterpiece."

You'd better not touch him.

Jin and Razor came up and noticed Roy's strange behavior.

The man raised his hand to adjust his hood, covering his messy hair, and reminded Gotoh. His gaze lingered for a moment on the Sun-Earring Boy's bloodshot eyes, then he clasped his hands behind his back and waited quietly to the side, taking the opportunity to... survey his surroundings, searching for the [person behind the scenes].

Elena had already unleashed her Nen Ability [Master of the Situation], using [Circle] to begin exploring the ruins... Further in, Razor and Gotoh, one on the left and one on the right, formed a triangular formation, subtly protecting Roy behind them.

The Hunter Association, including the images of Jin, Razor, Gotoh, and Elena, has all vanished, leaving only Roy alone in the Land of No Owner. He slowly activates his Sharingan, savoring the [Unlimited Void]... and unhurriedly summons [En], splitting off a Heart Bug that invades the Fake Ging along the Thread of Causality.

Unexpectedly... the Fake Ging exploded with a bang!

The Heart Bug was also blown to ashes!

Roy was taken aback. The panel displayed a message... [Monster Compendium expanded...]

A wisp of "Post-Mortem Nen Phantom Beast" detected... Racial innate Nen Ability begins to be released...

[Note: Elephant Tapir (Post-Mortem Nen)... Rating: A]

[Manifested Aura: B-: 78/1,000,000]

[Potential Aura: A: 564/10 million]

[Evaluation: Due to lingering attachments, a trace of his spirit remained after Post-Mortem Nen, rendering him far weaker than he was in life]

Roy felt a sudden rush of air to his throat, and he tumbled out of the Land of No Owner, his internal alarm bells ringing.

Jin, Razor, Gotoh, and Elena exchanged glances, then all looked towards the very front of the church, where a broadsword was stuck upside down in the ground...

A skeleton and a massive elephant carcass stood silently watching the group across rows of seats. "Pfft—" Two eerie green flames suddenly ignited in the skeleton's empty eye sockets. Just then... a mournful sigh, carrying the weight of time, filled the air...

"Please Forgive Xiao Ba, it... just didn't want you to disturb my Slumber."

"Boom!"

The floor shook, causing the chairs to clatter. Before Roy, Kim, and Razor could react, the skeleton gently stroked the elephant corpse beside it, signaling it not to be anxious, and with a wave of its hand...

Suddenly, a desolate elephant's cry rang out.

The magnificent cathedral, with its towering dome nearly a thousand meters high, seemed to come alive in an instant.

Open your mouth and spit...

They then treated Roy, Jin, Razor, along with Gotoh and Elena, as uninvited guests and "spit them out"!

With a creak, the tall stone door, adorned with various bas-reliefs, slammed shut... Just before it closed, Roy exchanged a glance with the skull through the gap...

As the pale green will-o'-the-wisps flickered, the image of the Sun-Earring Boy was deeply etched into Roy's mind... Then, another soft sigh surfaced in Roy's heart, "Ah... I met your brother."

"Does this mean that even you ultimately failed?"

Roy's pupils constricted sharply, and then he glanced at the skull... The door remained tightly shut, blocking his view... Only the Sun-Earring Boy, Jin, Razor, and the others remained, staring blankly... The mountain-like church vanished inch by inch, as if someone were using an eraser to wipe away the lead dust... Right before his eyes, using the technique of "Anti-Conjuration," it materialized and disappeared into the void...

Until it disappears completely.

Jin, Razor, and Gotoh Elena looked at each other in disbelief, just like when they faced Roy's Sharingan and were hit by the Fake Ging in the [Unlimited Void], they were stunned at the bottom of the sea and could not come back to their senses for a long time!

"Crack!" Without the church's protection, the protective membrane covering the seabed shattered instantly, and seawater rushed in... Jin forcibly regained consciousness, grabbed Elena using [Water Repulsion], and shouted to the others, "Now is not the time to stand still, go up and talk!"

Razor glanced discreetly at Roy, who was deep in thought with a furrowed brow, then leaped upwards like a fish, following closely behind Jin's steps, swimming towards the horizon...

Gotoh quickly tucked the [Infinite Pistol] into his robes and pulled Roy along, saying, "Young Master, let's go."

The Sun-Earring Boy repeatedly chewed over the words "Ah," "brother," and "failure," his thoughts swirling and flickering...

In the original story, there's a scene where Nanika and her brother Alluka repeatedly switch faces. She took a deep breath... and together with Gotoh, leaped upwards, heading towards the sea...

When appropriate, the panel will display a prompt...

[Hint... The elephant's innate Nen Ability has been extracted...]

[Note: Anti-Conjuration... can be achieved by transforming the real into the unreal, by reverse concretization, bringing physical objects into the Cognitive World...]
