The Blond X Sun Chariot

Open your mouth.

I want to say something.

In the end, he swallowed it back. With a meticulously groomed face, he looked up at the sun rising high in the sky, just like Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, and silently sighed inwardly.

Although, as the vice-captain of the First Division, it was his duty not to want turmoil to break out in the Seireitei or even the Soul Society, but... if it really came to that Sasakibe Chojiro would fiddle with the [Gonryomaru] tied to his waist. Just as his captain and close friend beside him had said, it would simply be... drawing his sword, it would simply be... fighting!

With a whoosh, a gust of wind rose, carrying spiritual energy as it slowly drifted by.

The courtyard fell silent, just like the "nuclear explosion zone" in the Demon Slayer world, devoid of life. The hillsides were covered with carbonized and charred earth, empty except for... a person sprawled on the ground, facing the night sky with their back to the scorched earth, silently replenishing their Nen Qi.

"Tap. Tap..."

He didn't know how much time had passed, but Roy felt as if he had taken another nap in a dream. When he slowly opened his eyes again, he looked at the bright Moonlight shining down, and without turning his head, asked in the west, "Is there any water?"

In the western suburbs of Kyoto, a tall figure emerged from the deep night as he strolled...

He wore a brown haori, the left half of which was imprinted with the Buddhist verse "Namo Amitabha," and the right half clearly displayed "Great Sun Mighty Dragon." Underneath, he wore a jet-black Demon Slayer Corps uniform, and a string of bright red Buddhist beads atop his head.

Approaching, he took a water pouch from his robes and tossed it to the man. Then, with his right hand on his chest, he knelt on one knee, bowed reverently, and said, "Praise be to the sun... Lord Eiichiro, please punish me."

"Glug, glug, glug~" The water sac flew over and was caught by the Sun-Earring Boy with long, fiery red hair Himejima Gyomei.

The monk grabbed it with one hand and held it in his grasp...

Roy let out a sigh of relief, then smiled at Himejima Gyomei and asked, "What punishment? What did you do wrong?"

"The mistake lies in weakness."

"The mistake was arrogance."

"My mistake was not being able to help you in any way."

Himejima Gyomei his hands together in remorse and uttered a Buddhist chant.

His tall and robust physique seemed to have grown even larger than before. Clearly, after opening his Aura Nodes and formally learning "recitation," the monks, through the purification of their qi through Nen Qi, could no longer compare to their past selves.

Through the Nen Qi emanating from the Himejima Gyomei, Roy noticed a wisp of "despondent" grayness. With a thought, he opened the Believer Panel and glanced at it...

[Believer: Gotoh (Note: Overflowing with loyalty)]

[Current Status: In the process of practicing...]

[Physical Nen Qi refining...]

[Current value: 628 (Note: 1 for ordinary people, 107 before the Aura Nodes are opened)]

[Manifested Aura: C-(84154/100000) (Note: Continuously increasing)]

[Potential Aura: C+(54988/100000) (Note: Continuously increasing)]

[The Four Major Principles: [Entanglement] Proficient... [Absolute] Proficient... [Practice] Beginner... [Development] To be developed]

[Department: Tendency...[Enhancement]... Pending "Water Divination" detection...]

[Grade: C]

[Note: Referring to Chimera Ant, your Believer "Himejima Gyomei" has already reached the level of an elite Chimera Ant squad leader, and is only one step away from becoming Chimera Ant Squadron Leader, showing great potential.]

Roy followed suit... and opened the "Believer Panel" of Rengoku Kyojuro, Giyu Tomioka, Shinazugawa Sanemi, and others one by one.

Most of the "evaluations" were D+.

Aside from Rengoku Kyojuro opening his Aura Nodes a bit too early, his rating has dropped to "C" level. However, whether it's "Manifested Aura," "Potential Aura," or his mastery of the [Four Major Principles], [Entanglement], [Absolute], [Refinement], and [Send] techniques,

They were all clearly inferior to Himejima Gyomei by more than one level.

Clearly, with the monk's "extraordinary talent," he has already surpassed others and become the undisputed number one among his Believer in the Demon Slayer world!

"Gyomei," Roy finished reading the message, closed the panel, and gave it a gentle glance, saying, "Self-awareness... that's not wrong... you saw it too, that's an opponent I couldn't defeat either."

The battle with Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni made Roy deeply understand the power of "A Thousand Years Have Passed" and "The Strongest Soul Reaper"!

Leaving aside the mention of "Zanpakuto," "Reiatsu," and the terrifying "combat experience" accumulated over nearly two thousand years, Roy knew very well that Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni had held back, and... he had held back a significant amount. Otherwise...

Now, what Himejima Gyomei saw was not him, but a charred skeleton...

"Who is he?"

"Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni."

"People of this world?"

"No, it's not in this realm."

Himejima Gyomei's tall frame suddenly trembled. He looked up again, tears streaming down his face, and tentatively asked Roy, "Lord Eiichiro, is there really a heaven beyond the heavens?"

"Of course," the Sun-Earring Boy said softly, his hands behind his head as he watched the Moonlight spill across his face. "Gyomei, never let your own perceptions bind you. What you think is impossible is ultimately just your perception; it doesn't mean it's... a fact."

Just like how I never imagined I would time travel, let alone that I would be transported to the Zoldyck in one fell swoop, thus awakening my Nen Ability "Gate of Cognition" and beginning my journey through the heavens...

Human life is truly amazing!

"Praise the sun..." With his chest heaving, Himejima Gyomei's breathing suddenly became rapid. Clearly, even a monk with the composure cultivated through years of Buddhist practice could not withstand the impact of this news, let alone others.

"Lu Sheng Lu..." Several more footsteps, some heavy, some light, Youyou in from all directions.

Roy lay quietly on the ground, his hands behind his head, admiring the moonlight. His restored Nen Qi allowed him to sense the owner of those footsteps even without using [En].

Among them is Rengoku Kyojuro.

Giyu Tomioka,

There is Shinazugawa Sanemi.

Uzui Tengen,

There were men and women, young and old, with whom he had formed bonds, such as Ubuyashiki Kagaya and Urokodaki Sakonji.

Every single one of them was someone who worried about him and cared about him.

These people were the result of the hope I brought them, and in return, they brought me warmth and hope... It seemed as if I was recalling the scene of observing [the sun] up close.

The Sun-Earring Boy stood up, dusted himself off, and smiled at everyone.

"Pop~" The dream shattered.

Consciousness returned.

The next morning, at four o'clock, the wooden grandfather clock in the corner of the bedroom chimed once.

Roy spent a few more moments cuddling with the people from the Demon Slayer world.

Then slowly open your eyes,

People followed through the "Sea of Cognition," traversing a colorful Dream Passage, instantly leaving the Demon Slayer world and returning to the Hunter world. "Whoosh~" Summer, cicadas chirped incessantly.

A cool breeze gently blew in as the fan by the window turned.

In Roy's bedroom at Kukuroo Mountain, the Zoldyck Family Ancient Castle, in the Republic of Padokea.

The Sun-Earring Boy's silver hair was draped behind his head and casually scattered on the bed sheet. Unlike usual, the ends of his hair seemed to have been coated with gold, presenting a dazzling yet noble glass-like gold!

[Hint: "Power of Faith" +170... Source: "Faith Calculation" from the general public in the Demon Slayer world...]

[Note: Current "Power of Faith": 417]

[Current "Life Energy": 384]

Total... 801...

Roy took a deep breath, forcing himself to suppress the urge to rush to the bathroom to refill his bottle. He rolled over and sat up in bed, hearing a series of snoring sounds, like the roar of a tractor, rising up against his pillow.

The Sun-Earring Boy chuckled and fiddled with the golden feather on Little Gold's head, then suddenly paused, wondering... why did Little Gold seem to have grown up a bit without him noticing?

Roy's eyes flickered, and he snapped back to reality. He then traced the Fat Crow's soft belly down to its paws, where a third paw was clearly emerging... Even though it wasn't as long as its other two, it was noticeably longer than before, though still a little smaller.

Roy then opened Little Gold's panel again to take a look...

[Nen Beast: Three-Legged Golden Crow]

[Status: Juvenile (10000/1000000)]

[Position: S+]

[Manifested Aura: D+(964/10000)→B-(40,000/million)]

[Potential Aura:?]

[Racial Trait: Sun Chasing (to be activated). Solar Flame Control: Iv1 (25/1000) → LV4 (70,000/100,000)... Chariot Driving: Iv1 (37/100) (Note: Activated)]

[Evaluation: A growth-type Nen Beast with Infinite potential]

[The Four Major Principles]: [Entanglement], [Absolute], [Refinement], and [Send] have all been [Mastered] by the host.

[Advanced Application Techniques]: [Zhou][Jian][Ying][Liu][Yuan] All [Beginner Level]

[Rating: B]

[Note: Based on Chimera Ant, your Nen Beast "Three-Legged Golden Crow" has already reached the level of an elite Chimera Ant Squadron Leader.]

As Roy remained silent, gazing intently at Little Gold, a realization gradually dawned on him... The so-called [Nen Beast] was less a [Conjuration] of [imagination] and more a "Conjuration" of "mental power."

If he is strong, Little Gold; if he is weak, then Little Gold is weak.

The Three-Legged Golden Crow shared his glory and his loss, their fates intertwined, in contrast to the Gotoh he had bestowed upon it the "Embrace."

The bond between Little Gold and him is even stronger than that of [The Embrace]!

Thoughts drifted, gradually clearing... Roy's eyes brightened, and he reached out a finger to gently poke Little Gold's cheek... "Caw~ Ooh!" The Fat Crow, its eyes still heavy with sleep, struggled to open its heavy eyelids, and with a snap, it bit Roy's finger!

"Why did you call me?!"

Roy's lips twitched; the anger on Little Gold's puffed-up cheeks was almost visible. He freed his other hand, and with a flick of his thumb and forefinger, gave it a quick flick on the forehead.

"Wake up, get up, take me for a flight..."

[Chariot Driving] is unlocked... Roy hadn't forgotten that this sentence was clearly recorded on Little Gold's panel.

The Sun-Earring Boy met the Fat Crow's gaze intently and persisted.

Reluctantly, Little Gold released Roy's fingers, flapped its fleshy wings, Youyou towards the window. It swept across the corridor and arrived at the garden adjacent to it, then let out a loud "Caw~ Oh~" as it grew louder in the wind!

With another flap of its wings, a bridle shimmering with golden light appeared around its neck, flowing long in the wind, one end connected to Little Gold, the other emerging from the void... slowly pulling out an ancient, weathered Sun Chariot...

The Sun Chariot was surrounded by a halo, obscuring its true form.

As it slowly emerged from the void, its two wheels rolling, revealing its form...

The entire Zoldyck Family compound,

It was as if... an immeasurable beam of light had been cast down upon Ge Di from the sky!

It instantly became as bright as day.

The entire Zoldyck Ancient Castle was alarmed!

"Waaah!" A baby's cry broke the silence of the night in the bedroom on the second floor of the Ancient Castle...

Before the huge French windows, a glimpse of beautiful silver hair flashed by, Silva appeared, dressed in pajamas, holding Kalluto in his arms.

On the first floor, in the westernmost bedroom, there was a large hole in the floor. A pair of empty eyes peeked out and leaped out. Then, on the mountainside, at the Butler Villa, Zi Po Tsubone, with two pink ponytails cascading down her back, walked out with Kurajing.

At the mountain gate, a middle-aged man, forced to Zee, was drinking tea and reading a newspaper when he looked up, his teacup tilted, and the newspaper was splashed with water.

Then... it was Mike, the butler, the maid, the apprentice...

As the Zoldyck Youyou awoke, their biological clocks disrupted by the early arrival of "light" and "dawn," they were forced to wake up. One of them, Zeno, with his striking white hair, was back from his daily kill. With nowhere to hide from the light, he stepped out from behind a wall, glaring at Roy helplessly, and said, "Hey kid, what are you doing now?"

A huge, ancient Sun Chariot, radiating golden light and bearing the marks of time and epic history, lies before me...

Roy took a step, landing instantly in a Photokinesis. In a single glance, he brushed past Zeno's shoulder and arrived in the garden, raising his hand to touch the wheel of the Sun Chariot chariot. He then...

"What else can we do?"

"I want to fly, Grandpa."

The Sun-Earring Boy's beautiful silver hair cascaded down his back, the ends of it a lustrous gold, swaying in the sunlight emanating from the Sun Chariot, its reflection strikingly etched in Zeno's eyes.

Suddenly, this guy, who was known for "One Kill A Day and a lifelong active player," was stunned and speechless!

Roy, your hair!

"It's changed color!" The window fluttered, and Illumi leaped out to add to Zeno.

In the second-floor bedroom, the large silver-haired man cradled a small silver-haired child in his arms, his gaze sweeping down, his brows furrowing. Roy's hair, with its shimmering, iridescent gold at the ends, was dazzling and blinding, no less striking than [the Sun Chariot].

For a time, the Third Hokage Zoldyck completely captivated!

"Maha, did you see something?" A Youyou murmur echoed from the dimly lit little bedroom.

The TV was still playing cartoons.

He was sitting in his favorite rocking chair.

Summer dawn is clearly the most pleasant time to sleep.

However,

A gaunt, thin old man, whether awakened by the bright light or the urge to urinate, appeared as the [Sun Chariot] appeared, and for a fleeting moment, Roy, unconsciously fluttering in the wind, revealed its ruggedness.

Maha; Zoldyck, this true "golden beam Zoldyck, suddenly opened his eyes, just like the other members of the Zoldyck, completely free of sleepiness.

"Other things are still unclear, but one thing is certain..."

A misty aura appeared.

The old man put his arm around Betty's waist and chuckled, "Roy, that kid, has evolved again!"
