Chapter 57

【Wan Shi Paradise Sect: Originally a religion founded by Doma's parents. At the time of Doma's birth, he had seven-colored irises and hair color as pure as white oak.

His parents believed this was a special child and believed he could hear the voices of the gods.

But in Doma's heart, he thought his parents were despairingly stupid, and he also thought the Wan Shi Paradise Sect founded by his parents was a boring religion.

Those so-called believers, Doma felt they were pitiful, so he always went along with what they said; in reality, he had never heard the voices of the gods.

As time passed, Doma also began to think that he was born into this world to help those pitiful people obtain happiness.

One day, his mother discovered that his father had slept with many female believers, so she hacked him to death, and his mother also committed suicide by taking poison in a state of near madness.

And the young Doma at that time faced such a huge change without the slightest fluctuation in his heart.

Until the age of 20, he met Kibutsuji Muzan and was turned into a demon! Because he had been treated as an object to pour out pain by countless adults since childhood, he eventually formed a strange value system that "death is salvation for humans."】

"……"

Looking at the information on the 【Analysis Glasses】 and associating it with Doma's personality, he felt increasingly disgusted by his existence.

"Death is salvation for humans? Then I wonder if death... is also a kind of salvation for you, Doma? Hehe..."

Zero made up his mind to take action tomorrow during the day.

As for why take action during the day?

Naturally, it was part of the plan.

His plan was divided into A and B.

Plan A was to go to Doma's Paradise Sect, fight him, and see if he could attract Kibutsuji Muzan's attention again.

If he could, that would naturally be the best!

If he couldn't, that didn't matter; he would just torture him well and let him, who had no emotions, feel what despair is!

Plus, because it was daytime, Doma would definitely be somewhat wary, and the Paradise Sect was his hiding place, so he wouldn't dare to destroy it wantonly!

Otherwise, once he used his full strength, for example, his Blood Demon Art: Sleeping Lily Bodhisattva?!

At that time, the building would be destroyed, and then he would definitely be scorched to death by the sunlight!

Under such scruples, he could torture Doma well!

Plan B was formulated just in case.

For example: Nakime!

Fighting Doma a few years ago, Doma was rescued by Nakime at that time, which led to him failing to kill him!

If Doma wasn't rescued by Nakime this time, he could kill an Upper Rank demon again! Weakening Kibutsuji Muzan's wings.

If he was rescued, then... hehe, at that time he could directly enter the Infinity Castle again and give Kibutsuji Muzan a "surprise"!

A "surprise" dominated by mecha!

Thinking about these things in his heart, the movements in his hands never stopped, checking every image sent back by the small drones.

"Hmm? This is..."

The image sent back by one of the small drones surprised Zero; not for anything else, just because a doorplate on it read "Wan Shi Paradise Sect" hanging high.

"Didn't expect to find it so quickly, hehe..."

Immediately, he controlled other small drones to head to the location of the "Wan Shi Paradise Sect" together.

They dispersed to film from the sky, forming a structural map and transmitting it to the 【Analysis Glasses】 here.

And according to the results of the thermal scanner inside the small drones, it was learned that inside and outside this huge sect, those so-called believers totaled about 250 people.

And in the very center of the sect, a human-shaped outline was also scanned, but the body temperature was frighteningly low.

From this, it could be inferred that that should be Doma.

Only a demon's body temperature would be so low.

"In this central location, trees are planted all around; it seems they were planted to avoid sunlight during the day."

"Hmm? Wait! This is... a basement?"

The image scanned by the small drone revealed that below the central location, there was another basement, and it looked like the scale was at least one-third the size of the sect.

Moreover, according to the scan results, there were also thermal reactions of life signs in the basement.

"It seems all answers will wait until tomorrow morning to check."

After carefully examining it for a while, he controlled all the drones to fly back and put them into the 【Nano Space】.

But Zero didn't intend to sleep, because above the ceiling of his guest room, in a certain corner, someone was observing him.

Without guessing, he knew it must be the hotel owner's subordinate, and fortunately, his 【Analysis Glasses】 drone had activated stealth mode.

Otherwise, if he had seen it, it would definitely have been spread out, and if Doma noticed it at that time, the plan might have failed.

Therefore, he continued to pretend he didn't know anything and sat by the window, looking outside.

It was as if he were just looking at the scenery outside the window.

The fact was indeed as Zero had thought; the hotel owner sent one of his subordinates to watch Zero in secret.

This was a method he had always used to seek profit.

And it was specifically targeted at those wealthy people and travelers; if it was a woman, she would be sold to the pleasure district! If it was a man, it was the same.

One night passed just like that.

Early the next morning, Zero got up early, ate some dry rations he brought, and prepared to go to the Wan Shi Paradise Sect to greet Doma properly.

Arriving downstairs, preparing to check out, the hotel owner asked: "This guest, didn't you say you wanted to stay for a few more days?"

"Not staying anymore. Last night when I was sleeping, a voice kept echoing in my mind, telling me one thing."

This statement immediately aroused the owner's curiosity, and he asked: "What thing?"

"That voice told me to go to the Wan Shi Paradise Sect. Oh, by the way, that voice also told me his name is Doma."

"You... you mean Sect Leader?!" Hearing this name, the hotel owner seemed very excited.

"Oh my, this guest, you are really lucky, actually being able to hear the call of the Sect Leader!"

"Yes~ really 【lucky】~ so I decided to tell him about you sending people to watch me in secret last night and wanting to harm me. I wonder how he will... deal with you?"

Upon hearing this, the hotel owner immediately became a bit nervous, and a trace of cold sweat broke out on his back.

Of course, this matter was just something Zero made up casually; he just didn't like the owner, so he made up such a reason, and he didn't expect it to be quite effective.

"This this... this guest, you you... you misunderstood, I was just... just... just worried about your safety, how could I possibly do such a thing? Yes, that's right, it was to protect your safety! That's why I sent people to protect you in secret!"

Zero sneered, and in his heart, he had to give a thumbs up to the hotel owner's "wit."

"Hmph~ meaning I still have to thank you? Then do you want me to go tell the Sect Leader about this matter now and let him decide? He can hear the voices of the gods; he will definitely know whether you are lying or not?!!"

The hotel owner was immediately scared and knelt in front of Zero, kowtowing continuously; he looked very terrified.

It's no wonder, the brainwashing was so severe.

Zero wouldn't sympathize with this kind of person, let alone give any mercy.

For such things, he probably hadn't done it just once; wouldn't it be too cheap for him to kill him?

He snorted coldly and turned to leave decisively.

It's just that before leaving, he left a "gift" in the room where he rested last night, hoping the owner would like it.

Afterward, according to the address recorded by the 【Analysis Glasses】 last night, he arrived at the Wan Shi Paradise Sect.

Just as he wanted to step in, he was blocked by the guards.

"Stop, what are you doing here?"

"Someone named Doma invited me to the Wan Shi Paradise Sect to see him."

"What? Sect Leader asked you to come?!"

The guards certainly knew what the sect leader of the Wan Shi Paradise Sect was called; someone who could be personally invited by the sect leader was definitely not an ordinary person.

Their faces changed instantly, becoming friendly.

"Oh my~ since you were personally called by the Sect Leader, you must not be an ordinary person! Please come in, please come in! I hope you can put in a good word for me in front of the Sect Leader."

"I will." Zero said so on his lips, but in his heart, he wasn't thinking that: "As long as the Wan Shi Paradise Sect is still there, it's fine."

Stepping into the gate of the Wan Shi Paradise Sect, walking straight all the way, whenever there were guards blocking, he would just repeat the same statement from just now, or else he would just describe Doma's characteristics.

Inside the Wan Shi Paradise Sect, the path was unobstructed, and soon he arrived at the door of the large house in the center.

He pulled open several wooden doors before arriving at the inner room, and he even heard sounds coming from the inner room.

There were men and women.

The man was obviously Doma, and the women were most likely his believers or something.

Without saying a word, he directly pulled open the last door and saw Doma chatting and laughing with the female believers.

Doma's smile still looked so fake and hypocritical.

Seeing someone else coming, Doma said with a smile: "Oh my~ which of my cute believers is it again..."

Before the words were finished, he saw Zero's face and immediately recalled the matter from more than half a month ago.

"Hehe... long time no see, Doma!"

Just like that, Zero and Doma stared at each other from a distance.

The female believers only felt that the air was full of gunpowder, especially the piercing killing intent on Zero, which made them shudder.

Taking advantage of the time when Doma and Zero were staring at each other, they hurriedly got up and left the room.

"Oh my~ my cute believers have all been scared away by you~ why be so tense? How about this, you sit down, let's have a good talk! How about it?"

Doma said with a smile.

Zero didn't say much, silently took out a 【Dark Alloy Cross Floating Cannon】 from the 【Nano Space】 and placed it by his side, then took out a 【Quantum Shield】 and stuck it on his chest.

He held up two fingers at Doma and said: "I'll give you two minutes to think about your last words."

Seeing this, Doma laughed: "How can you say that? You and I have met a few times, we can be considered old acquaintances, let's sit down and communicate properly?"

"Oh, right, right, Akaza-sama seems to want to see you again; it seems Akaza-sama likes you very much!"

"How about this, you also become a demon, so I can take you to see Akaza-sama; he will definitely be very happy, and also, Muzan-sama seems to like you very much too~..."

The more Zero heard, the more he felt that Doma was a truly disgusting and annoying evil demon, so he directly interrupted him: "Doma, do you have no self-awareness at all? Is there no one... no, is there no demon who told you that you talk too much?"

"Oh my, what are you saying? How could I be hated~ everyone likes me very much~ Akaza-sama often communicates with me too~ although it's always me looking for him to talk."

"But having said that, Akaza-sama hasn't eaten a single female human since he became a demon, nor does he kill women! No wonder he lost to me in the blood battle for position, don't you think... ah, right, right, I haven't asked your name yet..."

"You are becoming more and more annoying, Doma bastard!" Zero directly raised the 【Dark Alloy Cross Floating Cannon】, aimed the tail at Doma, and rotated the connection point of the cross floating cannon.

Click!

The cross floating cannon activated its second form, the tail opened to the left and right, revealing the machine gun barrel inside.

"Doma, to tell you the truth, everything you say, spouting nonsense, is all fabricated! Humans have various emotions, anger, happiness, laughter, sadness, etc.!"

"And you, your smile is disguised, truly annoying! You actually know it in your heart, right? Because... you don't have any emotions at all!"

Hearing these words, Doma's face gradually began to turn gloomy; it seemed this was what he should have looked like originally.

"How did you make yourself say these vicious words? Up until now... no one has ever dared to speak to me like this!"

"Roar~ is that so? Unfortunately, I am the first one who dares to say this to you, and also the last one! Let me tell you another truth; I came to your Wan Shi Paradise Sect today to avenge my lover! A few years ago, you harmed Kanae and caused her to almost die! Today, I will make you wish you were dead!"

"Is that so? Blood Demon Art..."

Click!

Rat-tat-tat-tat...

The machine gun muzzle of the cross floating cannon fired a continuous string of high-temperature bullets.

The long tongue of fire seemed to want to swallow everything in front of it.

Doma, who hadn't had time to activate his Blood Demon Art, had to dodge immediately.

The moment he left, the position he was originally in instantly exploded and began to burn.

But this was just the beginning.

Zero immediately turned the muzzle of the cross floating cannon and continued firing.

Doma wanted to get close, but he had no chance at all.

In the dim room, Zero's face, illuminated by the tongue of fire, appeared so evil and crazy!

Doma wanted to activate his strongest Blood Demon Art to create an Ice Bodhisattva, but it was daytime outside.

Once the Ice Bodhisattva broke through the roof, he would die just the same!

The only plan now was to lure this Pillar to the basement, so he could drag him down, freeze him, and offer him to Muzan.

But the idea was beautiful, and reality was cruel.

Zero seemed to have anticipated that he would do this, turning the muzzle to fire wildly in the direction he was advancing.

"Hahahaha... Doma, aren't you very powerful? Why don't you fight back! Hahaha!"
