Chapter 112

Space-time tunnel.

"Everyone, we are about to pass through the final space-time storm and arrive at the other world! Get ready, I'm going to charge through in one go!"

"Understood!" x7

Luo Li piloted the 【Nirvana】 through the space-time storm, her eyes determined, her expression serious.

She knew the importance of this journey, and an inexplicable excitement surged in her heart.

In the other world they were about to reach, she would reunite with Bai Yue and bring him home.

The roar of the 【Nirvana】 was deafening, as if the cry of a phoenix echoed in the universe; it charged forward, fearless of the obstruction of the space-time storm!

Demon Slayer World.

One month later, inside the Infinity Castle.

For Kibutsuji Muzan, this past month had been the most difficult time.

Ever since the moment Upper Rank One Kokushibo died, his fear of Zero had become even more profound!

And now, the only Upper Rank demon of the Twelve Kizuki left was Nakime.

Even so, Kibutsuji Muzan did not give up on his efforts to find the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters.

He injected his blood into Nakime once again for her to absorb, and at night, he dispatched more eyeball clones to search for the location of the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters.

Furthermore, Kibutsuji Muzan was preparing for a major move!

A month had passed since the Kaigaku trial incident.

During this period, the swordsmen participating in the Hashira Training had seen their strength improve like never before!

Among them, the most attention-grabbing were the trio of Tanjiro.

Tanjiro's strength could be said to have reached the 【Kinoe】 rank.

Zenitsu was shocked beyond measure upon learning the news of his senior brother Kaigaku's betrayal, finding it hard to accept for a time.

Knowing what Kaigaku had done, he found it unbelievable; he never expected that the senior brother he respected most would be such a person...

If not for the comfort of his grandfather Sangdao Ciwu Lang and the advice of his partners, he might have remained depressed forever.

Butterfly Mansion.

Inside the basement.

The Butterfly sisters and Tamayo looked at the three newly developed drugs before them, and finally, relaxed smiles appeared on their faces.

Based on Kibutsuji Muzan's abilities, Tamayo felt that the drug to turn back into a human alone was far from enough to contend with him.

Thus, through the efforts of the three, three other drugs were developed.

One was a drug that could accelerate the aging of Kibutsuji Muzan's body.

Another was a drug that could prevent Kibutsuji Muzan from splitting.

And the last one was a drug that could destroy Kibutsuji Muzan's cells.

Once Kibutsuji Muzan absorbed the drugs, they could slowly drag him out.

After all, if Kibutsuji Muzan discovered something was wrong, he would definitely return to the Infinity Castle!

Hiding there to stall for time and slowly decompose the drugs was not impossible!

But now a new problem had arisen.

How to make Kibutsuji Muzan absorb these drugs into his body?

Kibutsuji Muzan was not some arrogant samurai, nor was he a human driven by emotion.

Kibutsuji Muzan was merely a life form obsessed with survival.

When his life was threatened, he would definitely prioritize self-preservation.

"Leave this to me! I will use myself as bait, carrying these drugs, and let Kibutsuji Muzan devour me!"

Tamayo proposed her own method.

In her eyes, this was the only feasible method.

However, this method was stopped by the Butterfly sisters!

"No! This method is absolutely not allowed!" said Kocho Shinobu.

Through these two months of getting along, her attitude toward Tamayo had shifted from initial rejection to acceptance.

Learning of Tamayo's past and her actions, Kocho Shinobu felt respect while also feeling sympathy.

Kanae was naturally the same.

Finally, Kanae suggested: "Why don't we wait until Zero returns to discuss this? I believe he will definitely have a way."

"Zero... very well, then let's wait for him to return before thinking of a way..."

Mentioning Zero, an unusual emotion appeared in Tamayo's eyes, but it was quickly hidden away.

This scene was naturally noticed by Kanae, but she did not point it out.

Boom!

The Butterfly sisters and Tamayo heard the massive thunder and lightning outside the Butterfly Mansion.

Thinking something had happened, they hurried out to check.

Tamayo also put on that black cloak, covering herself from head to toe to block the sunlight.

When they arrived outside the Butterfly Mansion and saw the strange scene in the sky, they were instantly stunned into silence.

They saw dark clouds obscuring the sun in the sky, even the sunlight was blocked, and it vibrated from time to time accompanied by thunder and lightning!

Coo!!!

As if enduring some kind of torture, faintly, it seemed as if some kind of energy was breaking through the boundary!

However, the scene that followed made them feel a sense of panic and fear!

The sky seemed to be torn open, and a huge vortex appeared.

The opening of that vortex grew larger and larger, and in that instant, a red object slowly emerged from the vortex!

It looked just like a head.

When that red object was fully revealed, everyone finally saw its appearance clearly.

Outside was a red transparent eggshell, and inside was a giant steel bird.

It was just that this structure reminded some people that it seemed very similar to that object of Zero's!

Ubuyashiki Yaoya, in his mansion, saw this scene and exclaimed: "Visitors from beyond the sky, they have arrived...!!"

When the giant steel bird completely appeared above the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters, everyone felt the oppression it brought even more clearly!

Moreover, its massive size occupied at least one-third of the Demon Slayer Corps' area.

"We have arrived at the other world—the Demon Slayer World. Xiao Yun, try to see if you can contact that child T0," Luo Li ordered.

"Yes, Sister Xiao Li!"

But before Bai Yun could take action, she received a message from T0.

【Nirvana, Nirvana, this is T0, please respond if received, please respond if received!】

"T0!" Seeing this, Luo Li immediately replied:

【T0, this is your Sister Luo Li, where are you now?】

【Sister Luo Li! That's great! Master and I have finally waited for you! I am right below where you are hovering!】

Through the screen, everyone indeed saw a group of people gathered below.

【Okay, I know, T0, wait for us there! Also... is Bai Yue... there?】

【Master will be back soon! He has been missing you very much!】

Bai Yue... has been missing me...

T0's words fell into Luo Li's ears, and she could no longer suppress the excitement and longing in her heart, hurriedly leaving the cockpit!

The other six people followed her as well.

Xiao Yue sat on Kanae's shoulder, looking at the 【Nirvana】 in the sky, her heart filled with immense excitement.

Having seen the 【Nirvana】 earlier, she thought it was a hallucination.

After confirming it repeatedly, she was sure it wasn't a hallucination, and the first thing she did was notify her master.

Then she contacted the 【Nirvana】.

Crack!

A hatch opened below the 【Nirvana】, and then a huge flying disc emitting blue light descended slowly, carrying the seven people.

"This world really has boundary suppression; I feel my strength has been suppressed to less than half!"

Luo Zhan Yun expressed his feelings, and Luo Li and the others felt the same.

"I hope my Bai Yue is okay, otherwise... I don't mind destroying this world!" Luo Li thought to herself.

The seven people landed on the ground, looking at the crowd gathered before them, their eyes constantly searching for T0's figure.

Every member of the Demon Slayer Corps felt a sharp aura and invisible pressure from them!

It was as if it were natural bloodline suppression.

And the killing intent hidden deep within!

"Sister Luo Li!"

Whoosh!

A petite figure emerged from the crowd, flying into Luo Li's arms like a little rabbit, hugging her full chest tightly.

"Sister Luo Li, I missed you so much! I missed you all so much."

"T0! Are you and Bai Yue okay?"

Luo Li held T0 in her palm and asked with concern.

"Mm-hmm, Master and I are both fine, Master is on his way back."

"As long as you're okay! That's really great..."

Bai Yun, standing to the side, asked: "T0, how did you end up here in the first place?"

"Sister Bai Yun, that's a long story, I'll tell you later. Let me introduce you to some of my friends first. By the way, Master gave me a name, called Xiao Yue."

"Xiao Yue... that's nice, you have your own name now too."

Afterward, Xiao Yue brought everyone to Kanae and the others, introducing them to each other one by one.

"So beautiful! Is she the Luo Li that Zero mentioned?" Kanae was stunned by Luo Li's peerless beauty, her heart filled with shock and envy.

She had never seen such a beautiful woman; it was as if she had walked right out of a painting.

Realizing she was acting a bit uncomposed, Kanae quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, excuse me."

"Japanese?" The seven people present were proficient in various languages, so they heard what she was saying.

"Welcome to the Demon Slayer Corps, guests from beyond the sky," Ubuyashiki Yaoya said, accompanied by his wife, as he came before Luo Li.

Hearing Ubuyashiki Yaoya's voice, the seven people felt a light, airy sensation in their minds.

It made them feel pleasant and relaxed.

Clang!

A sound came from not far behind Luo Li.

Turning her head, she saw Bai Yue, whom she had been thinking about day and night.

"Luo Li..."

"Bai Yue..."

【Master, Sister Luo Li is here!】

Zero, who was exterminating evil demons, suddenly received a message from Xiao Yue through his 【Analysis Glasses】.

Overly excited, he accidentally used too much force and twisted the evil demon's neck off.

Immediately, he left the place without looking back.

The evil demon thought it had finally escaped a disaster, but unexpectedly, a bomb landed at its feet.

Boom!

With a massive explosion, the dilapidated temple was blown open, and the evil demon was blown into pieces, exposed to the sunlight.

"I'm not reconciled...!!" Amidst the evil demon's unwilling roar, it was burned to ashes by the sun~

Zero directly took out his 【Light Energy Flying Device】, strapped it to his back, and flew toward the Demon Slayer Corps.

In just ten minutes, he flew to the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters.

Clang!

After landing, he saw several comrades he had once fought alongside standing not far ahead, as well as his sister Bai Yun, and Luo Li, whom he had been thinking about day and night.

"Luo Li..."

"Bai Yue..."

Seeing Luo Li, the longing in Zero's heart surged like a tide, drowning him. His footsteps became light.

With extreme speed, he arrived before Luo Li in an instant, opened his arms, and couldn't wait to pull her into his embrace, feeling her warmth, her heartbeat, and everything about her.

Luo Li also didn't expect Zero's hug to be so tight, as if he wanted to knead her into his body, so that the two would never be separated again.

At this moment, time seemed to stop, and the whole world became quiet.

Zero and Luo Li's heartbeats intertwined, their bodies pressed tightly together, as if they were a beautiful painting.

At this moment, the worries in Luo Li's heart vanished instantly because of this hug.

She also hugged Zero tightly, feeling the familiar scent on him.

"Luo Li..."

"I'm here, I've always been here."

"I missed you so much, I'm sorry..." Zero's body twitched slightly; he cried, this was the first time he had cried.

"Mm, I understand."

Luo Zhan Yun put his arm around Bai Yun's waist, and the couple smiled at each other.

Releasing the hug, Luo Li held Zero's face and said gently: "Bai Yue, you've changed... the current you is much better than before."

"Zero..." Kanae and Mitsuri came before Zero.

Seeing this, Luo Li was a bit confused.

Zero explained: "Zero is my name in this world, and their relationship with me is the same as yours."

"The same as mine..." Luo Li pondered this sentence, looked at Kanae and Mitsuri, then looked at Zero.

Suddenly, she had a realization.

Keeping a smile on her face, she looked at Zero with a dark belly and asked: "Can you give me an explanation?"

Although she knew that Bai Yue might have more than one wife in the future, this was Luo Li's most direct sixth sense!

Moreover, when Bai Yue was young, many women had confessed to him, and those people included those with precious status...

Even now, it is still the same.

But being beaten to the punch is just uncomfortable.

Everyone present felt the intimidating power radiating from Luo Li.

The inexplicable pressure made everyone feel a bit breathless.

Even the air was filled with a faint scent of jealousy.

"Mm." Zero knew Luo Li was jealous, so he was willing to spend more time explaining it to her properly.

At the same time, he gave Kanae and Mitsuri a reassuring look.

Afterward, Zero came before Luo Zhan Yun and Bai Yun.

"Zhan Yun, long time no see!" Zero extended a hand.

"Long time no see, you kid have really changed a lot!" Luo Zhan Yun also extended a hand and bumped his fist with Zero's.

"Xiao Yun, these past few years, it's brother's fault for always making you worry."

"It's okay, brother, it's great that you're still alive!" Bai Yun felt joy in her heart and threw herself into Zero's arms.

This feeling was just like when they were children.

He also bumped fists with former Number Three, Number Four, Number Six, and Number Nine one by one.

"Everyone, long time no see!"

"Long time no see!" x4

He explained the situation to Ubuyashiki Yaoya, then took the seven of them, along with Kanae and Mitsuri, back to his mansion.

Xiao Yue sat on Luo Li's shoulder, looking happy.

After they all left, the other Hashira swordsmen felt as if they had survived a disaster.

Feeling the invisible pressure radiating from the seven of them, they were scared into a cold sweat that soaked their backs.

Some swordsmen with lower strength collapsed on the ground, gasping for air.

The scene just now had scared them so much that they didn't even dare to breathe loudly, holding it in until now.

Ubuyashiki Yaoya was the same; confirming that these visitors from beyond the sky were not enemies, his heart also relaxed.
