Batman: Is He Really a God?

Lin Xiao looked around, seeing tents everywhere. "I hadn't noticed before, but why are there so many tents now?"

"Little Sakura, can't you speed up a bit? Is post-disaster reconstruction really this slow? Things move so fast in the Ultraman world."

Meanwhile, in the chat group.

[Smile Under the Wisteria Flowers]: "Everyone, please allow me to say goodbye to you all in advance."

[The Underdog Who Wants to Be Hokage]: "Huh?! Sister Shinobu, what are you going to do? Why are you suddenly saying something like this!"

[He Is Simply God]: "??? Shinobu Kocho, calm down. Tell me what's happening."

[Smile Under the Wisteria Flowers]: "Mr. Lin Xiao, I finished reading the memory copy you uploaded and immediately reported it to Master. Relying on his clan's intuition, Master deduced that the family of a boy named Tanjiro Kamado is very likely to be murdered recently."

[Smile Under the Wisteria Flowers]: "Since my jurisdiction is closest to Mount Kumotori, I rushed over to check. I just didn't expect... I actually ran into him."

[Dark Knight of Gotham]: "Who is he?"

[Smile Under the Wisteria Flowers]: "Muzan Kibutsuji."

[Smile Under the Wisteria Flowers]: "I know I can't win. Even if all the Hashira gathered here, we couldn't win. But if I back down now, the family on this mountain and countless ordinary people in the future will continue to bleed in the dark."

[Dark Knight of Gotham]: "Wait, don't give up yet. Does he have any weaknesses? We can brainstorm some ideas."

[Smile Under the Wisteria Flowers]: "If he has a weakness, it would be the sun. He fears the sun."

[Dark Knight of Gotham]: "The sun? I'll have you try ultraviolet lamps."

[Smile Under the Wisteria Flowers]: "It's too late. If possible, please help this world in the future. I won't say more, everyone. May your world forever be free of evil demons."

The moment she saw this message, the rice ball in Lin Xiao's hand paused in mid-air.

"Really... soloing the final boss at level 1?"

This kind of foolishness and courage embedded in one's bones was precisely the thing ordinary people found most impossible to refuse.

Without the slightest hesitation, Lin Xiao clicked on the chat system's jump interface and locked onto the world where [Smile Under the Wisteria Flowers] was located.

[Ding! Cross-border teleportation activated!]

At the same time, in the Demon Slayer World.

"Cough... cough cough..."

Shinobu Kocho fell into the snow, fresh blood staining her haori. Her Nichirin Blade had snapped into two pieces, and her chest heaved violently.

Standing ahead of her was a man wearing a black suit and a white fedora.

Muzan Kibutsuji.

"A mere Hashira who can't even pierce my skin dares to block my path." Muzan looked down at Shinobu Kocho from above, his gaze filled with utter disdain. "Go die, you annoying bug."

Muzan's arm instantly transformed into a terrifying, barbs-covered flesh whip, and with a shrill whistle that tore through the air, it fiercely lashed toward Shinobu Kocho on the ground!

Shinobu Kocho despairingly closed her eyes.

"I'm sorry, everyone, but in the end, victory will definitely be ours."

However, the pain of her body being torn apart that she had anticipated never arrived.

"Swish!!!"

A dazzling pillar of red light unceremoniously smashed down from the night sky of Mount Kumotori!

"What is that?!"

Blinded by the sudden, intense light, Muzan retreated several steps in a frenzy. He watched in horror as the indestructible flesh whip he had lashed out evaporated directly into the air the moment it touched that pillar of light!

The light slowly dissipated.

Shinobu Kocho blankly opened her eyes, and then, she saw an unimaginable back.

It was a creature standing roughly two meters tall, colored in red and silver. It radiated a warm glow all over its body.

Ultraman Gaia, life-sized form!

"You... what kind of monster are you?!"

Muzan let out a scream of utmost terror. He watched in panic as it turned out not just his arm was gone; when that red-and-silver figure stood there, the kind of radiance emitted from its surroundings was actually stronger than the sun!

"Ahhhhh!!!"

Muzan wasn't even touched, yet his body—hailed as the ultimate life form—began to slowly dissolve directly under the illumination of the passive light radiating from Gaia's body, just like a snowball thrown into a furnace!

His skin was turning into ashes, his flesh evaporating into the void, and the powerful demon cells inside his body completely lost even their instinct for regeneration in front of this pure light of Gaia!

Inside the chat group.

[Ding, group member's first cross-dimension travel detected; the live broadcast room has been opened.]

Ultraman Gaia paid no mind to the screaming Muzan behind him.

He merely turned around, squatted down halfway, and extended a hand toward Shinobu Kocho, who was sitting blankly in the snow.

As he drew closer, Shinobu Kocho felt a warm current surge into her body, and her fractured bones and fatal wounds miraculously healed within a few short seconds.

"Yo, you alright?"

A gentle voice carrying a somewhat casual tone echoed in Shinobu Kocho's mind.

"Leave the rest to me. You can rest a little now."

Shinobu Kocho stared dazedly at the red-and-silver warrior before her. "Are you... Mr. Lin Xiao?"

"It's me."

Gaia stood up, only then turning his head to look at Muzan Kibutsuji, who had already had half his body dissolved in the light and was desperately crawling backward through the mud.

"Don't... don't come over!! The sun!! Are you the sun?!! I don't want to die!!" Muzan wailed miserably, tears and snot streaming down his face, retaining not a shred of the Demon King's imposing aura.

"The sun?"

Lin Xiao flicked his wrist, looking at Muzan's wretched state. His tone held no lofty judgment, only unmasked disgust and aversion.

"You think far too highly of yourself. To deal with a coward like you, is the sun even necessary?"

Lin Xiao couldn't even be bothered to use a skill, simply taking a step forward.

As the distance closed, the light instantly surged violently!

"No!!!"

Accompanied by Muzan Kibutsuji's final roar filled with terror, his remaining physique failed to last even a single second under Gaia's radiance, and he was completely "evaporated" cleanly just like morning mist.

The millennium Demon King hadn't even taken a single punch from Lin Xiao before he was forcefully "shone" to death by this blinding light of Earth.

Looking at the empty snowfield, Lin Xiao reached out to stroke his chin, unable to help complaining in the group:

[He Is Simply God]: "That's it? I thought I'd be able to warm up a bit. This thing is way too fragile, right?"

[The Underdog Who Wants to Be Hokage]: "That monster didn't even touch you, and it actually melted directly?! What kind of ninjutsu is this?!"

[Snow Queen of the Service Club]: "Incredible..."

Gotham City, the Batcave.

Bruce Wayne stared fixedly at the frozen live broadcast screen, his brain running at a frantic pace as he tried to use science to explain everything that had just happened.

"There were no attack motions with external energy leakage. Merely because he stood there, he inflicted eradication upon that creature named Muzan. The chat group shouldn't give out random names—could his group name actually be true..."

[He Is Simply God]: "Chat group, why didn't you have a quest? You don't even give a reminder when group members are about to die?"

[Ding, it was detected that the group member was not in mortal danger.]

[He Is Simply God]: "Are you out of your mind? If I hadn't come over, she'd be gone."

[Ding, it is detected that group member 'He Is Simply God' has enough points to travel; issuing a quest is unnecessary.]

[He Is Simply God]: "???"

[Snow Queen of the Service Club]: "This..."

[Dark Knight of Gotham]: "...This chat group is very... calm."

[The Underdog Who Wants to Be Hokage]: "Feels pretty awesome."

[He Is Simply God]: "Damn it, that makes sense."
