Chapter 11 The altered prophecy shocks the Demon Slayer Corps!
Of the two Lower Moon demons, Ubume's Blood Demon Art is of the Illusion type.
Using incense as a medium, the five senses and mind of the target are manipulated to create an illusion that is difficult to distinguish from reality.
The downside is that it's not very suitable for outdoor environments; it's only suitable for enclosed spaces.
Because the wind blowing from the outside will disperse the incense that induces dreams, thus waking people from their illusions.
Nightmare's Blood Demon Art is a dream-type technique that traps people in a dream that Nightmare can control.
Furthermore, Nightmare can also turn enemies into idiots and effectively kill them by destroying the "spiritual core" deep within their dreams.
Both of these Blood Demon Arts are very suitable for training subordinates and increasing their combat experience.
Unfortunately, if Li Ke remembers correctly, the Guhuoniao should have died by this time.
It is quite regrettable that he became a stepping stone for Sanemi Shinazugawa to become the Wind Pillar.
The only remaining target is Nightmare, the psychopath from the original story.
However, the more troublesome issue is where Nightmare is currently located, as it is not mentioned in the original work.
Finding Nightmare in the vast sea of people is almost hellishly difficult.
Regardless, Li Ke still decided to carry out the plan to establish the Ghost Hunter organization and the plan to find Nightmare.
At the same time, Li Ke was also preparing to learn the Thunder Breathing Technique and its accompanying sword skills from Kaigaku.
With the aid of being in sync with the flesh sprout, the Thunder Breathing Technique and its accompanying sword skills should be learned quickly.
……
On the other side, at the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters.
I finished reading the letter that my predecessor, Urokodaki Sakonji, sent through Kasugai-ga (a type of crow).
After listening to the reports from Rengoku Kyojuro and Kanroji Mitsuri, Ubuyashiki Kagaya fell into deep thought.
"My lord, I think Li Ke is trustworthy. Perhaps we can join forces with him to deal with Muzan."
The one speaking at this moment was the Water Pillar, Tomioka Giyuu, who had seen the Demon Queen Nezuko, who did not eat people.
My perception of ghosts has changed drastically; I no longer believe that all ghosts should be completely eradicated.
"My lord, ghosts are a bunch of beasts with human faces. To talk about coexisting peacefully with ghosts is a joke!"
All the demons must be completely eradicated; they cannot be given any chance!
The one speaking at this moment was none other than the extremely short-tempered Sanemi Shinazugawa.
Over the years, he has seen and experienced a great deal, and knows just how evil and unforgivable ghosts can be.
Especially after his battle with the Lower Moon One, Ubume, Shinazugawa Sanemi, unable to accept the death of Tōno Masachika, developed a deep hatred for demons.
They wished they could completely eradicate the ghosts from the world, and did not believe that any ghost could resist eating people, firmly believing that "all ghosts are evil."
"My lord, Li Ke not only saved me, but also that mother and child. He is a good ghost, a kind ghost."
Before becoming a Love Pillar, Mitsuri Kanroji, who was fortunate enough to participate in the Pillar Meeting, shared her thoughts when asked.
Among them, Shinobu Kocho, who had been silent all along, paused for a moment before expressing her opinion.
There are no such things as good ghosts or kind ghosts in this world.
Anyone who believes that humans and ghosts can coexist peacefully is a fool; it's impossible for humans and ghosts to coexist peacefully.
As she spoke, Shinobu Kocho recalled her older sister, Kanae Kocho, who had passed away two years prior.
Her sister believed that the world was not full of man-eating demons, but also of non-man-eating demons, and that one day humans and demons would be able to coexist peacefully.
Despite her kind heart towards demons, the older sister died at the hands of Upper Moon Two, Doma.
Thinking about this, Shinobu Kocho became even less convinced that humans and demons could coexist peacefully, and even less convinced that humans and demons could really join forces to fight Muzan.
At this moment, Kagaya Ubuyashiki, who was being supported by his wife, finally spoke.
"I actually had a dream the night before last."
"Dream?!"
Upon hearing this, the five pillars present—the Wind Pillar, Insect Pillar, Sound Pillar, Rock Pillar, and Water Pillar—were all slightly taken aback.
As Pillars, they knew information that ordinary members of the Demon Slayer Corps did not, including that Kagaya Ubuyashiki possessed the ability to foresee the future.
Upon hearing Kagaya Ubuyashiki mention dreams, they immediately thought of the word prophecy.
"Yes, it was a dream."
At this point, Kagaya Ubuyashiki said, his hands trembling slightly:
"That was a terrible scene."
A red figure hovered above Tokyo, turning the entire island nation red, as countless people slaughtered each other on this red earth.
After a pause, Kagaya Ubuyashiki looked at the five Pillars, then at Kyojuro Rengoku and Mitsuri Kanroji, who were kneeling on the ground to the side.
"Actually, when I took over the throne, I had a premonition that our generation would surely succeed in killing Muzan."
A few days ago, I had a premonition that you, Kyojuro Rengoku, would successfully slay one of the Twelve Demon Moons on your own and become the Flame Pillar.
Therefore, I overruled everyone's objections and sent you alone to subdue the Twelve Demon Moons who had revealed their whereabouts, instead of sending other pillars.
But now the outcome has changed. Kyojuro Rengoku, you did not single-handedly slay one of the Twelve Demon Moons and become the Flame Pillar.
"My lord, are you saying the prophecy has been changed?!"
Yanzhui Mouming Yuxingming spoke in a deep voice, his heart filled with endless sorrow.
For thousands of years, the Demon Slayer Corps has sacrificed countless swordsmen, and finally, in this generation, they see hope for completely ending the scourge of demons.
Now, the lord tells him that the prophecy has been changed, and Kyojuro Rengoku has failed to kill one of the Twelve Demon Moons and become the Flame Pillar.
What does this mean?
This means that the prophecy that their generation will surely kill Muzan may also be changed!
At this moment, Sound Pillar Uzui Tengen placed his hand on his chin and said thoughtfully:
"Suspended above Tokyo, it dyed the entire island nation red, causing countless people to kill each other on the red land."
Such a magnificent scene is definitely not something humans can achieve.
After all, no human could levitate above Tokyo, let alone stain the entire island nation red; only a demon could do that.
Hearing the words of Sound Pillar Uzui Tengen, the other Pillars nodded slightly.
Who is that guy who hovers above Tokyo, turning the entire island nation red and causing countless people to kill each other on that red land?
They already had a vague suspicion in their hearts.
The answer is definitely Li Ke, it can't be Muzan.
After all, Muzan has been the progenitor of demons for over a thousand years, and this progenitor of demons has always been quite low-key.
The only thing that could be considered high-profile was creating a horrific island nation plagued by evil spirits, and committing countless acts of murder and evil.
Judging from Muzan's low-key behavior over the past thousand years, he certainly wouldn't have created such a grand spectacle.
So the demon that hovers above Tokyo and commits such terrible killings must be the demon Li Ke who can break the prophecy!
