Chapter 2454 The Meteor Energy Cannon Reappears!

Wow!

"What kind of ability is that, where bullets suddenly turn into flesh spikes?"

"It must be a Devil Fruit ability."

"Indeed, it doesn't look like magic."

"It could also be an Imperial Arms."

"But his body also changed."

"I think it's probably some kind of Zoan-type Devil Fruit, either a Dangerous Zoan or a Mythical Zoan."

Outside the Cloud Duel Arena on Island No. 106.

The twenty or thirty army officers who came to watch the battle were discussing among themselves as they looked at Shinazugawa Sanemi.

The person who walked out of the venue ignored this.

He walked up to the fishman major with a blank expression and pointed his double-barreled shotgun at him.

"Do you want to continue?"

The latter was enduring the pain as he tried to pull out the thorny whip.

To everyone's surprise, they struggled inside my body like living creatures.

If you forcibly pull on my right leg and left arm, they will definitely be ruined today.

"Damn it, I...I lost!"

In the end, the merman major could only grit his teeth and admit defeat.

next second.

A spherical device floating in the air flew over.

"Major Genya Shinazugawa has successfully challenged Major Mog and has gained the qualification to challenge someone of a higher level."

"Please proceed to Ground Duel Arena #56 at 11:20 AM tomorrow."

"Your opponent is Lieutenant Colonel Alfonso."

After hearing this, Shinazugawa Genya used his mind to control the spiked whip on the fishman major, turning it back into a bullet.

Wait for them to fly back to the left pocket of the coat on their own, then turn around and leave in full view of everyone.

"Brother, just wait, this time I'm going to be promoted to lieutenant general and catch up with you!"

Shinazugawa Genya made a silent vow in his heart.

There's no need to elaborate on past experiences.

He is 26 years old this year. Due to his lack of talent, he has been promoted to major with many setbacks over the years.

Genya Shinazugawa is unable to learn any style of Demon Slayer Breathing Technique due to his unique physical condition.

However, by devouring the flesh and blood of 'demons,' they can temporarily 'demonize' their own bodies.

Furthermore, they are able to master the Blood Demon Art of the devoured 'Demon'.

They can even extend their effects to the weapons they hold, such as knives or guns.

The problem is that 'blood demons' are a unique product of the Demon Slayer world, which originated from the 'Demon King period' of Muzan Kibutsuji.

Whether at the Army Headquarters or in the otherworldly realms he was conquering, he could not find any 'blood demons' to devour.

This prevented Genya from fully utilizing his physical advantages, forcing him to painstakingly train in spear techniques, physical skills, and Haki.

However, there are many people who are better than him in these aspects.

For many years, Genya could only watch as his older brother Sanemi rose through the ranks.

He is now a renowned Lieutenant General of the Second Main Battle Corps.

Until last year, Muzan Kibutsuji suddenly came looking for him.

He said he was recently at the Biochemical Research Institute, using the Ghost Pill of the Night-Seeing Clan from the Black Grass World, combined with his own bloodline factors from his 'Demon King Era'.

They developed Oni-Ohmaru, a drug that can temporarily put people into a 'demon state'.

The only problem is that if the user does not have an exceptionally strong will, it will be difficult for them to maintain normal consciousness.

But his goal is to minimize the conditions for taking the medication.

Because Muzan was well aware that 'Kingmaru' was of little use to powerful warriors of general rank or above.

The 'market' must be placed in the middle and lower levels of combat power.

That's right.

His goal is to 'sell' or, in other words, to earn merit points.

And to demonstrate more of our scientific research capabilities and value to governments around the world.

That's how Muzan noticed Genya's special constitution that allowed him to 'transform into a demon'.

He offered to help the other party fully acquire the ability of 'Demon King Transformation' on the condition that it be done.

In exchange, they would have Genya provide his own blood samples periodically to create a more mature 'Oni-Ohmaru'.

The so-called 'Demon King Transformation' refers to the ability to freely transform into Muzan during his Demon King era and to use his various Blood Demon Techniques.

However, this will not completely change Genya's race, but will exist as a transformation ability.

Therefore, he was still able to cultivate his domineering aura normally.

This caused Genya Shinazugawa's strength to begin to improve rapidly.

The patterned and transparent world also gradually awakened.

It is worth mentioning that.

Some officers and soldiers who were born and raised in the starfish, though they did not awaken the markings and the transparent world.

He claimed to have dreamt of his grandfather or a possible ancestor from a certain generation.

Upon waking up, one suddenly learns a certain technique, or even gains profound combat experience.

For example, someone who isn't very good at swordsmanship might dream of their grandfather fighting with swords.

When I picked up the knife again, I found it much easier to use than before.

As time continues to pass.

On May 6th and 7th, over two consecutive days, tens of thousands of army majors fought to determine the victor.

The winner can continue the challenge.

The loser can only end this military-wide assessment early and watch others strive for promotion opportunities.

Some people did not perform well in the previous three assessment items.

They also face the possibility of being demoted or transferred from combat units.

On the morning of May 8th.

Tsuchigumo stood in Ground Duel Arena #12, squinting at his opponent at the other end.

It was a figure with only one large eye on his face and a tall, strong build.

However, his height of only about two meters makes him look very short.

"A warrior of the Meteor Clan?"

Unlike the Dakini clan, they are quite powerful within the Army Headquarters.

They are also the main force behind intensifying the internal competition.

At this moment, the ball-shaped device acting as the referee floated in the air and emitted a voice.

"Major Tsuchigumo challenges Lieutenant Colonel Collins!"

"The battle begins!"

【boom! 】

Lieutenant Colonel Collins gripped the ground with his feet, his agile body unleashing terrifying speed.

The figure left a blurry afterimage in place before instantly appearing above the Earth Spider's head.

There was no use of any fancy skills, just a pure charge driven by strength!
This Meteorite warrior was well aware of the Earth Spider's power.

Therefore, the body's energy is directly unleashed.

In an instant, azure energy, as fast as lightning, surged outwards wildly.

"Meteor Energy Cannon!"

With a loud shout, Lieutenant Colonel Collins unleashed a simple, brutal torrent of energy from his chest where the meteor bead was located—an energy powerful enough to shatter mountains and split rocks!
Wherever the beam of light passed, the air was compressed to an extreme degree, emitting a mournful cry of unbearable strain.

It can even create shockwaves that spread outwards continuously.

However, faced with such a fierce attack, the Earth Spider stood still, neither dodging nor avoiding.

He simply waved the metal pipe in his hand, from which wisps of black smoke billowed.

He easily blasted away the incoming meteor energy cannon on the spot.

"Your Meteor Clan's combat talent is indeed worthy of respect."

"But if you want to be my opponent, you'd better send your father."

Earth Spider glanced at another Meteor Clan warrior in the crowd of spectators.

Alva.

Although his rank was only colonel, he was well aware that the other party had the strength of a general.

Because the two had sparred several times before.

It's not just Alva.

The Earth Spider has fought against all the Meteor Clan warriors at the general level within the Army Headquarters.

After all, both sides have extremely belligerent personalities.

The voice just fell.

The earth spider simply raised its right foot and stepped on the ground, and a thick, long stone pillar rose up from the opposite side.

With speed and force that are impossible to dodge.

Lieutenant Colonel Collins, having exhausted most of his energy, slammed the barrier above him.

[BOOM!!!]

Just then, everyone present, including Tsuchigumo, saw a bright flame burst forth from not far away.

Immediately afterwards, a huge explosion resounded throughout Army Headquarters.

That's the direction of Duel Arena #27.

【boom! 】

A giant, standing 23 meters tall and wearing a black coat of justice, came into view.

He fell heavily to the ground amidst the scorching flames.

His entire body was charred black and wisps of smoke rose from it.

"Lieutenant Colonel Merleona Vanmilian has successfully challenged Lieutenant Colonel Arnold and has gained the qualification to challenge someone of a higher rank."

"So strong."

The spectators were stunned.

The woman with fiery red hair defeated the giant warrior with a single, rising fire fist!
