I simultaneously traverse countless worlds

However, Li Mo, the demon god, is no longer the same as he was when he was an ordinary person. Now that he has mastered absolute power, he naturally has an advantage over the Demon Slayer Corps. The previous grudges with the Demon Slayer Corps were settled, but now that they are going to join forces, it is a different matter!

"I understand. Does Mr. Li Mo have any needs or requests?"

Knowing that the encounter between the demon god Li Mo and the Demon Slayer Corps was not pleasant from the beginning, and that he later kidnapped the Butterfly Sisters and acted alone, Ubuyashiki Kagaya calmly asked him to state his requirements for cooperation.

Empty ideals are hard to compare with the bread in your hand. Kagaya Ubuyashiki was very aware of this. He and the heads of the Ubuyashiki family never used any righteous cause to trick people into dying. Even when recruiting people whose families were destroyed by demons and having the legitimate reason to kill man-eating demons, the Demon Slayer Corps still guaranteed the logistical support and disability compensation of its members, which is why it has been able to fight the demons for thousands of years.

Upon hearing Kagaya Ubuyashiki's words, Oni-shin Rimo sensed the sincerity in his tone. Raising an eyebrow, he knew the other party genuinely wanted to cooperate. A strange smile appeared on his face as he stated his conditions with a playful tone:

"Alright, I need to study your [Apocalypse] ability and the blood samples of everyone in the Ubuyashiki family. How about we cooperate based on that?"

The Deal Reached in Chapter 39

When the request from the demon god Li Mo was made, Ubuyashiki Kagaya's expression stiffened and he did not answer immediately. However, his wife and the six pillar-level powerhouses present all changed their expressions. Two or three of the pillar-level powerhouses were filled with anger and looked at the demon god Li Mo with great hostility.

The requirement to obtain blood samples from all members of the Ubuyashiki family for such research would be considered a slight insult and disrespect even to an ordinary person, let alone the Ubuyashiki family, which has a history of over a thousand years and is a major sponsor of the Demon Slayer Corps. Even the current head of the family is the leader of the Demon Slayer Corps. It can be said that when the six Pillar-level powerhouses heard this, they all felt a sense of shame, as if "a subject would die for his lord's disgrace."

Currently, Japan's Taisho era was not like the later Taisho period, where the country tried to belittle China and consider itself superior to gain a psychological advantage on the battlefield. Influenced by Chinese culture, it developed into Japan's own unique Bushido, which at least ensured that the samurai who served in government were generally very loyal to their lords.

For these Pillar-level powerhouses of the Demon Slayer Corps, joining the Demon Slayer Corps and becoming a Pillar-level powerhouse is practically equivalent to becoming a subordinate of Kagaya Ubuyashiki. In the Sengoku period of Japan, this would be equivalent to serving the Ubuyashiki family. If the Demon God Li Mo proposed a deal as a condition for cooperation, they would actually be able to accept it. There is no such thing as a free lunch. In Japan, there is a similar proverb. No one expects to get a powerful force to cooperate with them just by saying a few nice words.

The problem is that what the demon god Li Mo asked for was an insult to Ubuyashiki Kagaya and the Ubuyashiki family members. It was more like a doctor asking for guinea pigs. It seemed normal but was hard to accept. If it weren't for the mysterious and unpredictable nature of the demon god Li Mo, and Ubuyashiki Kagaya's subtle gesture signaling them not to act impulsively, there might have been some hot-tempered Pillar-level powerhouses who jumped out.

However, even though Ghost God Li Mo sensed the hostility of several Pillar-level powerhouses, he didn't take it to heart at all. He leisurely sipped his tea and prepared to wait for Ubuyashiki Kagaya's reply. But Kocho Kanae and the others were a little nervous!

"...Mr. Li Mo, I understand that you want to study my Apocalyptic abilities, but what is your purpose in needing blood samples from my family?"

After hesitating for a good ten seconds, Kagaya Ubuyashiki finally calmed himself down and looked at the tall man sitting in front of him with a normal expression. He cautiously probed the question, neither agreeing nor rejecting the deal outright.

humiliation?

Such feelings would only arise in Ubuyashiki Kagaya's mind and then disappear. He was not one of those self-important daimyo families. The abilities of daimyo throughout history have become worse and worse as time goes on. However, many daimyo and nobles felt that their face was more important than anything else.

If a daimyo or noble were present, Li Mo's words would do nothing but cause conflict. Unless a sharp blade was pressed against their throats or their heads were about to fall, it would be impossible for those arrogant people to calmly face such provocative words. This was especially true for families that had been around for a long time.

However, the situation of Kagaya Ubuyashiki and the Ubuyashiki family is different. Each generation of the Ubuyashiki family members is cursed and restricted by the curse that they cannot live past the age of thirty. They spare no effort to lift the curse for themselves and their descendants. Moreover, when they were cursed, they seemed to become exceptionally precocious and decisive in their actions, leading the Demon Slayer Corps to fight against demons for thousands of years.

Kagaya Ubuyashiki's situation is just like that. Born as the only male heir of the Ubuyashiki family, he witnessed his father's painstaking efforts to maintain the Ubuyashiki family and the Demon Slayer Corps after the Meiji Restoration, which had become somewhat decadent before the curse gradually took effect. Moreover, when he felt the curse on his body begin to take effect, he also understood that he had to lead his family and the Demon Slayer Corps to eliminate evil spirits, and killing the Demon King Muzan Kibutsuji was the destiny that the Ubuyashiki family had fought for for thousands of years.

It was precisely this arduous ordeal and the sense of death threat brought by the curse that made Kagaya Ubuyashiki and the heads of the Ubuyashiki family outstanding figures of their time. Although they had no fighting ability to speak of, they were able to maximize their management skills. In addition, with the influence of the Ubuyashiki family and the Shinto priests who were allied with them by marriage, the Demon Slayer Corps was able to suppress the matter of the demons in secret.

In particular, Kagaya Ubuyashiki, the current head of the Ubuyashiki family, is exceptionally capable and charismatic. He is kind and gentle even to ordinary members of the Demon Slayer Corps, and he insists on cleaning the gravestones of the fallen Demon Slayer Corps swordsmen every day. It can be said that he devotes all his strength to slaying evil spirits.

Therefore, after a moment of anger, he immediately calmed down and weighed the pros and cons of the deal proposed by the ghost god Li Mo. Asking about the reason for seeking blood samples from members of the Ubuyashiki family was also a test!

……

"Haha, don't worry, I need to examine your blood samples and those of your family members to see if I can break the curse!"

Seeing Ubuyashiki Kagaya's very serious yet slightly probing question, Oni-shin Li Mo chuckled a few times. He then explained why he had sought blood samples from all members of Ubuyashiki's family. Only when the atmosphere relaxed slightly did he look at Ubuyashiki Kagaya seriously and say, "Furthermore, regarding your [Apocalypse] ability, all I need to do is examine your physical condition and wait for your experience of feeling [Apocalypse]..."

To be honest, the demon god Li Mo didn't have any aversion to Ubuyashiki Kagaya or the Demon Slayer Corps (but he didn't have any fondness for them either). He was speechless about how he suddenly transmigrated to the Demon Slayer world, abruptly encountered an injured demon, and was infected by demon blood, eventually turning into an ordinary demon. However, he had to admit that when he was imprisoned by the Demon Slayer Corps at the Butterfly Mansion headquarters, at least he didn't encounter anything too bad.

At least compared to those demons who were captured by the Demon Slayer Corps for eating people, experimented on, or even thrown into Mount Fujikasane as trial monsters, the treatment that Demon God Li Mo received was quite good. Even he had to admit that, from his position in the Demon Slayer Corps, it was already a good thing that he didn't just execute an ordinary person who had become a demon on the spot. Imprisoning him was normal. Didn't you see that at the beginning of the original Demon Slayer anime storyline, even Kamado Nezuko was almost killed?

Even though Giyu Tomioka, the Water Pillar, knew that Nezuko Kamado, who had become a demon, was Tanjiro Kamado's sister, he had already heard about and even witnessed firsthand the tragic cases of demons feeding on their relatives. Kanae Kocho, the Flower Pillar, was imprisoned not out of any remorse, but also because the demon Li Mo was unlucky enough to be caught in the crossfire.

Otherwise, Li Mo, the Ghost God, felt that he would encounter Pillar-level powerhouses such as the [Stone Pillar] and [Sound Pillar], and would probably be killed by them without a second thought, even if he knew that he was innocent and turned into a demon, the situation would likely be the same.

The reason was mentioned before: the Demon Slayer Corps had seen too many people watch their loved ones being transformed into demons by the "Original Demon Blood," thinking they could still influence them with kinship, only to have their flesh and blood devoured by their demonized relatives. Even those demons who later regained their sanity would go insane upon recalling this scene.

Without a doubt, devouring the flesh and blood of one's own relatives would drive any normal person completely insane, unless they are utterly heartless or have an extremely hostile relationship with them. In addition, since these people have already become demons, it can be said that they have truly become inhuman both psychologically and physiologically. The Demon Slayer Corps has seen this situation many times, and most of the time they give the other party a final act of mercy and kill them directly rather than leave them to become a demon that wreaks havoc on the area.

Most of the Pillar-level powerhouses agreed that the demons should be exterminated. The Stone Pillar and the Sound Pillar were typical examples. They had compassion for ordinary people, but even if the Demon Slayer Corps didn't kill them, ordinary people who had become demons could never return to their peaceful lives. Having already fed on human flesh and blood and fearing sunlight, they became aliens in the eyes of humans.

It is well known that humans can fight to the death and even exterminate certain human groups over differences in skin color and religion. To say that humans would tolerate cannibalistic demons is less accurate than suggesting that they might be attracted by the fact that demons can live forever...

Ahem, the topic seems to have veered a bit. Let's get back to why Oni-God Li Mo's attitude towards Ubuyashiki Kagaya has improved, and why he even went out of his way to explain to him and several Pillar-level powerhouses that Oni-God Li Mo is now quite certain that Ubuyashiki Kagaya genuinely wants to cooperate and is not planning to use any underhanded tactics like using someone else to do his dirty work.

In this situation, Ghost God Li Mo didn't think it was entirely impossible: watching the "Demon Slayer" anime was one thing, but actually taking the anime's plot as gospel was a bigger problem. Heaven knows what methods Ubuyashiki Kagaya, the leader of the Demon Slayer Corps, had. Anyway, Ghost God Li Mo didn't think the other party was a naive fool. If he were really a naive fool, would he have been able to revive the slightly declining Demon Slayer Corps in the context of a series of major events, including the fall of the Tokugawa shogunate, the Meiji Restoration, the First Sino-Japanese War, and even the Russo-Japanese War?

It's obvious that Japan has been aware of the dramatic changes in recent decades. Just over a decade ago, it fought a major war with Tsarist Russia and was heavily indebted. It only recovered thanks to the benefits of World War I. As the current head of the Demon Slayer Corps, Kagaya Ubuyashiki has been able to revive the Demon Slayer Corps and the Ubuyashiki family, which were in a state of decline. To say that someone with such ability and skill is a pushover would be a joke.

Especially in Japan, a place that values ​​lineage and family prestige, a series of measures such as exchanging interests and demonstrating strength are unavoidable. When significant interests are involved, even high-level power struggles may erupt. The fact that Kagaya Ubuyashiki was able to take the opportunity to strengthen the Demon Slayer Corps and the Ubuyashiki family's power certainly indicates that it was not a smooth process. Being able to fight against those old foxes and maintain his own interests is not something that can be achieved simply by maintaining family prestige and reputation.

It's no exaggeration to say that among the information about the Ubuyashiki family that the ghost god Li Mo collected, the current head of the family, Ubuyashiki Kagaya, was highly regarded. He believed that Kagaya was not only outstanding in his own abilities but also good at discovering talent. Several old Japanese forces that had been dealt with by Ubuyashiki Kagaya suffered heavy losses and were targeted by other enemies. It would be strange if Ubuyashiki Kagaya's planning and leadership were not involved.

Now, Ghost God Li Mo is certain that, with his keen soul perception, Ubuyashiki Kagaya genuinely wants to cooperate. Therefore, he will not adopt a distant attitude and is prepared to join forces with him to eliminate those evil spirits.

"...I see. Then let's discuss this in detail!"

Upon hearing the words of the ghost god Li Mo, and finding that the other party had actually become amiable, Ubuyashiki Kagaya naturally felt uneasy. However, thinking that he would only live for less than ten years at most, and that his descendants would also suffer the same tragic fate brought by this curse, his determination became even more unwavering.

Admittedly, Kagaya Ubuyashiki felt that the other party's sudden change in agreeability might indicate some other intention. However, as the current head of the Ubuyashiki family and the leader of the Demon Slayer Corps, he naturally understood that there was no such thing as a free lunch. If the other party proposed other conditions, he could consider the situation. If he could agree to them, he would agree directly. If he could not agree to them, he could consider reaching a deal in another way. Unless the other party's demands were truly outrageous, he would not mind paying with money or other means.

Kagaya Ubuyashiki didn't care much for material possessions like money. He led the Ubuyashiki family and the Demon Slayer Corps, which had quite a few businesses. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to support the various expenses of the Demon Slayer Corps, which had more than a thousand members. If he really wanted to come up with money, he could even offer a considerable amount of gold as a traded commodity. Conditions such as blood samples and research on the [Apocalypse] ability would be even less of a problem.

However, what Kagaya Ubuyashiki didn't expect was that the demon god Li Mo really only needed the blood of the Ubuyashiki family members and to study their abilities. He had already obtained a lot of precious metals like gold and other treasures from those forces in Japan!

……

"We need the Demon Slayer Corps' information on the locations where demons are active and related intelligence. As a bonus, we can provide elite soldiers to help us hunt down those demons!"

"Soldiers? Those damned things are best kept secret!"

"Hehe, don't worry, those elite soldiers are all private soldiers, and they won't let anyone else know about the missions they're carrying out. Besides, their combat strength and equipment won't disappoint you. By the way, you Demon Slayer Corps swordsmen can also witness the scenes of modern warfare..."

When Ubuyashiki Kagaya spoke up and began discussing the terms of the deal with Onijin Rimo, the topic of their conversation shifted to the practical needs of cooperation. For example, Onijin Rimo directly proposed sending elite soldiers to help, which caught Ubuyashiki Kagaya off guard.

Originally, the Demon Slayer Corps and even the Ubuyashiki family did not have ordinary soldiers. In the shogunate and even the earlier Sengoku period, ordinary soldiers had little power to fight against demons, and only elite swordsmen could put up a fight. However, after the successful overthrow of the shogunate, Japan established a national army, not the private army of daimyo nobles.

Moreover, while the soldiers on the Japanese side are known for their bravery, they are actually better suited to using firearms to fight humans. It would be too difficult to expect ordinary soldiers to overwhelm and kill demons. Furthermore, even though the Ubuyashiki family has been intermarrying with Shinto priests for generations and their influence in Japan is deeply entrenched, it would still be impossible for them to recruit an army. That's no longer the situation in Japan's Warring States period.

However, in the eyes of the ghost god Li Mo, it was no big deal for Ququ to use elite soldiers to suppress evil spirits. He could turn the world upside down with a single order. It would be easy for him to mobilize the Japanese navy or army for a battle, and that would be with his elite soldiers under his complete control. With the light and heavy weapons he had selected specifically for evil spirits, most of the evil spirits would probably not be able to withstand the attack of modern weapons, even weapons at the level of World War I.

Given the insistence of the demon god Li Mo, and the offer to bring along Demon Slayer Corps swordsmen for support, with ordinary demons as the initial targets for testing, Ubuyashiki Kagaya and several Pillar-level powerhouses were persuaded. They had previously seen dozens of fully armed elite soldiers at the gate of the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters, and naturally felt the dangerous aura emanating from them, and were also curious about the combat power of these elite soldiers.

Therefore, the demon god Li Mo made a strong statement. In addition, since ordinary demons could be chosen as targets for joint battles beforehand, both Ubuyashiki Kagaya and those Pillar-level powerhouses ultimately agreed and agreed to each of the other conditions!

"Mr. Li Mo, then let's become partners from now on!"

Having reached a cooperation agreement with the ghost god Li Mo in just over half an hour, Ubuyashiki Kagaya sat down in his seat, slightly tired, but his mental state was obviously very good, his eyes were bright and he spoke very seriously.

Just now, Kagaya Ubuyashiki and several Pillar-level Demon Slayer Corps members reached an agreement with Li Mo, the Demon God. The Demon Slayer Corps will provide elite swordsmen and all the intelligence they possess, while Li Mo will provide military force and official support. Together, they will first clear out the evil spirits within Japan. After clearing out all the evil spirits that can be found and confirmed, they will then concentrate their efforts on finding the Demon King, Muzan Kibutsuji, and completely annihilate this Demon King who has committed countless atrocities.

Compared to Kagaya Ubuyashiki and the other Pillar-level Demon Slayer Corps members, having obtained the exchange conditions he desired and feeling the tender gazes of Kanae Kocho and the others, Demon God Li Mo was equally pleased, yet he seemed to be hinting at something when he replied:

"Of course, we will definitely wipe out all the man-eating demons!"

Chapter 40 Slaying Evil Spirits

A few days later, in a mountain range near Kyushu Island on Honshu Island in Japan, an ordinary demon emerged from a cave in the deep of night and greedily ran in one direction, licking its sharp teeth as it ran, its face contorted like a demon.

This is the reality for the vast majority of demons. After being transformed into demons by the "ancestral demon blood," they completely lose control of themselves and wantonly kill and devour humans. By the time they regain their sanity, most demons have already become completely different beings in body and mind. The case of a female demon doctor like Tamayo regaining her human sanity is a rare and unique one.

These demons, created at will by the Demon King Muzan Kibutsuji or transformed into demons by the blood of other demons, all possess a certain degree of rationality. For example, this demon, which is over three meters tall and resembles an upright bear, hides in the mountains and only occasionally comes out to hunt. Otherwise, it never appears in the sight of humans. As for legends of mountain spirits and monsters, they are far too common in Japan, where feudal remnants still exist.

Often, the so-called mountain spirits and monsters are just bandits who rob and kill merchants and travelers, then fabricate stories about encountering a monster that eats people to cover up their crimes hidden in the mountains. Even the Demon Slayer Corps sometimes can't tell whether more people die in the mouths of demons or at the hands of their own kind. Many times, the Demon Slayer Corps' intelligence agents discover that the so-called man-eating monster rumors are actually just crimes committed by some humans themselves.

Of course, this ordinary demon at this time really exists. It was transformed into a demon more than a year ago. After eating its beloved wife and parents, it went completely insane and became a man-eating demon. Now it hides in the mountains and occasionally attacks passers-by or the surrounding mountain people. It has almost become a new monster legend in the area. The Demon Slayer Corps' intelligence personnel noticed these messages and confirmed them repeatedly before passing them out.

However, just as this ordinary evil spirit was following a mountain path it was used to taking, preparing to see if there were any tasty prey in the surrounding mountain villages, a dozen flares suddenly turned the night sky into daylight. The ordinary evil spirit was completely dumbfounded, having never seen such a scene before, and stood there stunned!

"Fire!!!"

Seeing that the ordinary demon was frightened by the flare, the commander of the elite squad, wearing a gas mask and disguised, waved his hand and gave his waiting subordinates the order to attack.

Da da da —————— Pfft!

As the squad commander gave the order, several MG-15 light machine guns roared out, and several chains of fire composed of flares and incendiary rounds struck the ordinary demon who was stunned in place and had not dodged, instantly turning it into a mosaic of flying flesh and blood. Then, more than a dozen soldiers with submachine guns rushed forward.

Although the ordinary demon appears powerful in the eyes of ordinary people, it is still quite weak in the face of modern killing weapons. The 7.92mm machine gun bullets of the MG-15 light machine gun can tear flesh and blood apart without any problem. If it weren't for the ordinary demon's equally powerful regenerative ability, it would have no chance of survival if such a light machine gun were combined with assault infantry tactics. And now it is desperately regenerating, waiting to slaughter these elite soldiers in a while.

However, the elite soldiers who rushed forward immediately pulled out phosphorus grenades. These phosphorus grenades, produced by the Gallic soldiers, were used as defensive weapons in trench warfare. Now, they were thrown out and turned into a net of fire, instantly engulfing the still twisted and healing body of the evil spirit. The high temperature of the phosphorus grenades directly turned this ordinary evil spirit into a ball of flame. The phosphorus grenades, which contained aluminum powder, phosphorus and other substances, could melt ordinary steel. If a human came into contact with them, they would be burned to a pile of ashes.

It's obvious that the demons in the Demon Slayer world are carbon-based life forms. When ordinary demons encounter this terrifying thing, their super regenerative abilities are useless. They are burned into a pile of charcoal by the high-temperature phosphorescent fire. One ordinary demon didn't even have time to react before it was shot into a pile of flesh and blood by a light machine gun and then set on fire by a phosphorescent grenade. It died without ever understanding what had happened.

The surrounding area was filled with over fifty elite soldiers who waited in silence. The elite soldiers who stepped forward even threw phosphorus grenades three times in a row, and two flamethrower soldiers stepped forward to use flamethrowers to clean the ground again with high temperature!

"Cease fire! Check carefully to see if it's burned to ashes!"

Seeing that the two flamethrowers hadn't caused any reaction in the remains of the ordinary demon, the commander of the elite squad in charge of the operation raised his hand, signaling his men to conduct a thorough search to confirm whether the ordinary demon was dead or alive.

Unfortunately, this ordinary demon, lacking even Blood Demon Arts, had no special abilities like fire immunity. It was hit by concentrated fire from modern light weapons, phosphorescent grenades, and flamethrowers, and its charred body could not possibly survive. The reason no one had noticed this weakness of the demon before was simply because they had never witnessed the cruelty of modern weapons and there was no suitable source of high-temperature flames nearby. It would have been quicker to use sunlight or a Nichirin Blade, which is why the demon hadn't noticed it.

Beside the commander of the elite squad, the three Demon Slayer Corps swordsmen who had gathered looked at each other in bewilderment. They were all wondering what their role was as a precaution. This elite squad had dealt with an ordinary demon in a single encounter, a demon that usually required the Demon Slayer Corps swordsmen to join forces and fight desperately to test it out!

……

On the other side, at the edge of Natagumo Mountain, dozens of massive vehicles arrived with a roar. Under the protection of the troops already on guard, these self-propelled guns with thick, long barrels began to adjust the height and angle of their barrels.

If a seasoned military enthusiast were present, they would immediately recognize the origin of these dozens of seemingly simple self-propelled artillery pieces.

Saint-Chamon 194mm self-propelled howitzer!

This is a high-performance self-propelled artillery piece designed and produced by the French during the First World War, which ended a few years ago, based on their experience in the long trench warfare against the Second Prussian Empire. It was purchased by the ghost god Li Mo as post-war supplies.

In a sense, this French self-propelled howitzer was arguably the best self-propelled artillery in World War I, and it wouldn't have been outdated even in the early stages of World War II. Its range and power were absolutely formidable, and while its mobility wasn't outstanding, it wasn't bad compared to World War I. If it weren't for the fact that Li Mo controlled Japan and his power was strong enough, and that France, with its poor economy, was preparing to exchange its stockpiled munitions for hard currency, this kind of weapon of war wouldn't have been so easy to acquire.

At this moment, the demon Li Mo arranged for the lower moon demons of Natagumo Mountain to be a feast of two heavy self-propelled artillery regiments. For example, 194mm howitzers would have been the support firepower of divisions or even armies in European countries during World War II. Self-propelled artillery was even more of a separate organization or an elite unit. I believe that the demons of Natagumo Mountain who know this fact will definitely be moved to tears!

"Fire! Fire a full load of shells right away!"

Looking at the seemingly quiet Natagumo Mountain, the commander, who knew there were many evil spirits in this mountain range, wisely ordered two heavy self-propelled artillery regiments to open fire first, preparing to give Natagumo Mountain a baptism of artillery fire with thousands of shells.

Boom——————! ! !

When the first test-fired heavy artillery shell landed in Natagumo Mountain, the roaring sound and the resulting fire and light were particularly conspicuous. Moreover, under the illumination of the flares, not only could one see the smoke and dust dozens of meters high, but the impact point was also a crater with a diameter of more than 20 meters.

As a large-caliber howitzer that is considered one of the heavy artillery pieces in Europe, the 194mm shell weighs over 80 kilograms and contains nearly 20 kilograms of explosives. The resulting power is that a single 194mm heavy artillery shell can kill anyone within a 100-meter radius. Unless you are hiding in a well-protected reinforced concrete fortification, the kill radius is 300 meters away from the point of impact.

A few breaths later, dozens of heavy artillery shells whistled down onto Mount Natagumo. The violent roar and blast waves instantly turned patches of forest and earth into a shower of debris. The rate of fire of 1.5 rounds per minute may seem slow, but the power of heavy artillery is enough to make anyone feel that the rate of fire is not a problem at all. A basic load of heavy artillery shells is 60 rounds, and a total of 48 heavy artillery pieces, nearly 3,000 shells, were thrown at Mount Natagumo... Well, even the poor imperialist Japan during World War II could not have been so extravagant. If it were the wealthy and powerful American soldiers, they probably would have done just that.

Li Mo, the Ghost God, didn't care about such a small amount of money. The guards officers under his command all understood their boss's meaning: if they could try to kill the evil spirits with modern weapons, they shouldn't try to risk human lives. Under this idea, the massive scene of dozens of 194mm self-propelled guns converging on Nata Spider Mountain unfolded, letting the evil spirits experience the power of the god of war.

However, the elite troops' guards officers, who were in command, soon saw that in addition to the deafening roar of heavy artillery, they also heard dense machine gun fire and the shrill screams of demons, which made them unconsciously pay attention to what was happening!

"Report! Several demons have been spotted trying to break out; we're intercepting them with machine guns!"

Before the commander could ask any questions, a communications soldier quickly put down the field phone he was holding and reported to the commander and the Sound Pillar Tengen Uzui and Flame Pillar Kyojuro Rengoku, who were waiting at the temporary command post, informing them of what had happened at the front.
