You son of a bitch, you big boss, you actually want to run away at a time like this?!

Chapter 73: 72. Demon King Wakaba Mutsu

When faced with someone he can't beat, Muzan Kibutsuji's strategy has always been the same—run!

If I can't beat you, I'll run away and lie low, employing a strategy of outlasting you. As long as I outlive you, I'll still win in the end!

This is a victory for the race!

After all, this was a lesson he learned from his painful defeat a thousand years ago. Just that one time made him understand that even if he seemed to have a great advantage, he should never just blindly attack.

In any case, time will always be on his side; nothing is more reliable than the "staying put" tactic.

Therefore, after it was confirmed that Jotaro Kujo's ability might be time stopping—

Muzan's mental journey is quite simple.

Although I am very likely to kill this human, even extremely likely.

But why should I take that risk?

Even if his attacks are powerful, he can't kill me. Even if I have overcome the sun, I am already invincible in terms of life. Even if we really have to fight to the death, it will definitely be this human who can control evil spirits who will be the first to give out.

But I, Muzan Kibutsuji, have never been a person who pursues 'victory'!

Victory has never been an important word in my dictionary; all I pursue is a long and healthy life!

So, facing a power I can't comprehend, why should I take the risk even if I could win?

Running away is the most damn wise and damn right choice right now!

"Since you are my allies, then help me stop them."

Muzan let out a sinister sound. Although he made a move as if he was about to fight to the death, he turned around and ran without hesitation!

Even before leaving, he didn't forget to plot against his ally.

Without warning, a bladed whip pierced towards the evil Ruoye Mu, intending to buy him time.

At this moment, Ruo Yemu's feelings were also extremely complex.

Damn it, I never expected this guy to be so timid!

You clearly have an absolute advantage, and even if the opponent fights desperately, they can't possibly reduce your health bar to recover. Instead of thinking about taking them down in one fell swoop, you're planning to just run away?

I thought I had already underestimated the depths of Kibutsuji Muzan's depravity, but I never expected this.

His incompetence and despicable nature as scum still exceeded my imagination!

However—fortunately, I, Uchiha Mutsu, was prepared!

Just as Muzan was about to launch a sneak attack, Evil Wakaba Mutsu suddenly spoke softly.

"It's time, let's make our move!"

In an instant, Muzan froze on the spot!

"what did you do to me?!"

Muzan let out a scream that was a mixture of anger and panic.

"To you? No, no, no, I should say what we did to Tanjiro Kamado."

Now that the pretense of civility had been shattered, the wicked Ruoye Mutsu simply laid bare everything she had done.

Looking at this demon king who was not only incompetent but also lacked courage, Evil Wakaba Muku activated his two-tomoe Sharingan and sneered.

"Long before you, I had already buried my soul in this body. Although you have had a long time, your stupidity and experience are not enough for you to see through Su Shidong's tricks!"

"Impossible, you're clearly right here—"

"Who says a person can only have one soul?" Evil Wakaba Mutsu casually remarked.

"Have you forgotten your good subordinate, Half-Heaven Dog?"

Muzan's eyes shrank instantly!

Hantengu's Blood Demon Art can split him into four different demons: "Accumulated Wrath," "Cola," "Empty Joy," and "Utter Sorrow." These split-off Hantengu are like different facets of himself, different personalities.

But in reality, those were the results of Hantengu redistributing his soul using Blood Demon Art.

Muzan never cared about these things in the past; he didn't care about anything that prevented him from overcoming the sunlight.

Moreover, even if he wanted to study it, he had no way to understand the meaning of the soul, but when this was mentioned, Muzan thought of such a possibility.

“Yes.” The wicked Wakaba Mutsu smiled with a mixture of pleasure and chilling malice.

"I left a personality inside Tanjiro Kamado long before you did. I took over the will of this body even earlier than you."

"You swapped your soul for your original body, but then you devoured it. Now, your souls are intertwined, and you might as well guess, given the chance, would he rather kill you or me?"

"Muzan!!!"

At the same time, another voice erupted from Tanjiro's demonized body.

That was Tanjiro's own voice.

He was filled with sorrow, anger, and despair of self-destruction, but there was no doubt that he was attacking Muzan within him with all his might!

Even the Ghost King's soul isn't necessarily much stronger than that of a mortal.

Or rather—Muzan Kibutsuji's soul, from the very beginning, was that coward who cowered in the mansion, trembling with fear, constantly terrified that death would take him away!

"Stop! Tanjiro Kamado, do you know what you're doing?!"

In the spiritual world, Muzan, relentlessly pursued by Tanjiro, screamed in agony.

"We've all been betrayed! This perfect body belongs to you; we can share it. What we should be doing is eliminating her!!!"

He was pointing towards 'Wakaba Mutsumi' in the distance.

The one who coldly observed all of this, who was then cut off by the evil Wakaba Muku, was infused into this body with a soul-reversing killing technique, becoming a part of her soul!

Tanjiro's demonized body is constantly breaking down and rebuilding. To outsiders, it looks like he's going crazy, talking to himself in different tones while tearing and attacking his own body!

Beyond the spiritual world—

Before Evil Wakaba Mutsu could utter a second word, the other side spoke first.

"Star Platinum: The World!!!!"

I, Jotaro, don't like hitting women—but scum like you is an exception!

Moreover, although Jotaro still doesn't fully understand the situation, he knows that taking down the suspected culprit is definitely not a problem!

But Jotaro's attack missed completely.

To be precise, the moment he shattered the 'Evil Wakaba Mutsu,' it turned into a wisp of smoke and vanished.

Jotaro frowned, and time flew by. At the same time, the evil Wakaba Mutsu, who was carefully hiding, didn't dare to breathe!

That was close! That was really close!

If it weren't for the fact that he wanted to be safe and send his shadow clone out to speak, he probably would have been beaten to death by now!

Although this shadow clone directly depleted a third of his chakra, thankfully he was unharmed!

She took a few deep breaths, swallowed a soldier's ration pill to forcefully pull the fear of facing Jotaro Kujo out of her mind, and then interlaced her four fingers to form a hand seal again.

Ninja Art: Shadow Clone Technique!

She created another shadow clone, which circled around for a while before emerging from the ruins. Although she was still terrified of Jotaro, she kept a straight face and pretended to be the 'most evil'.

"You need to think this through. If I fail, what will remain inside its body is Muzan Kibutsuji."

Then, the evil Wakaba Mutsu, who seemed to have appeared out of nowhere, looked at everyone and sneered.

"Then he can continue to do evil in this world, while if I win, I will eventually leave this place. No matter how it goes, you have indeed succeeded in eliminating Muzan."

If Muzan wins, he will continue to do evil in this world. But even if the reincarnators win, they will eventually have to leave.

She simply presented this binary choice, leaving them with no other option.

At least Tanjiro Kamado chose the latter.

He didn't know where these evil reincarnators came from, nor why they did what they did. But they didn't belong to this world, and they could take this body with them!

Since that's the case, we'd rather leave it to them than leave it to Muzan!

The few remaining survivors from the Demon Slayer Corps who were still observing remained silent. No matter how angry and hateful they were, they had no choice but to accept the choice between the two options presented to them.

Compared to Muzan Kibutsuji, even if these reincarnators of unknown origin who have committed such heinous acts are hated, it is still an acceptable choice.

"As for you—" Evil Wakaba Mutsumi looked at Toyokawa Shoko and the other two, trying hard not to look at Kujo Jotaro's dark face shrouded in shadow, and sneered.

"The sun has risen, and your evacuation conditions have been met. Now evacuate, and we will all be happy."

The sun had fully risen, and at the same time, the voice of the supreme god appeared in their minds.

The evacuation point has been opened, and it's not far from here; you only need to walk one kilometer back to get there.

But Jotaro Kujo did not choose to leave. He was calmly analyzing the current situation. Chihaya Aine looked at Toyokawa Shoko, who was shocked, saddened, and even more angry at the current situation of Wakaba Mutsumi.

"Xiao Mu! Tell me, what happened to you? How did you become like this?!"

Evil Wakaba Mutsu didn't answer, only looked at her with utter contempt.

After all, in her eyes, Ruoye Muku was an incompetent and cowardly good-for-nothing, and Toyokawa Shoko was a similar, nonsensical thing!

The essential difference between her and them is that, for her, this cycle of reincarnation has never been a pleasant game.

Tick-tock, tick-tock, time slips away.

Tanjiro, now transformed into a demon, suddenly stopped his endless cycle of self-damage and repair.

Upon seeing this, the evil Wakaba Mutsu tilted his head slightly, revealing a pleased smile.

"Not leaving? It'll be too late now."

The demonized Tanjiro—no, it should be the demonized Wakaba Mutsumi—opened his scarlet eyes.

The writhing flesh instantly reshaped the body, molding it into the form of Wakaba Mutsumi.

"Then stay here and die!!!"

She revealed a bewitching yet sinister smile, then screamed.

"Nakime, send him and me away!!!"

The paper door opened again, sending her and Jotaro out of the battlefield!

Chapter 74: 73. Evil, Ghost King, Mental Illness (Bonus Chapter)

The body occupied by the spirit personality of Wakaba Mutsuki, which was partially severed from Wakaba Mutsuki.

In the judgment of the main god, whether this thing belongs to the reincarnator 'Wakaba Mutsu' is a rather vague determination.

Originally a patient with multiple personality disorder, he was able to achieve the ability to cut his soul apart, much like the creation of a Horcrux, after being influenced by the special technique of "reverse soul killing".

No, in fact, even without Nagasaki Motoyo, this evil Wakaba Mutsumi had already made similar plans.

In the background, Qiu Hai can see the exchange options that the evil Wakaba Mutsu can access, and without exception, they are all things that can help her 'split her soul'.

For example, this thing she really likes, but can't afford to buy right now.

Zabaniya (delusional illusion)

Type: Legendary Magic

Description: A Noble Phantasm based on the concept of multiple personalities. Multiple souls exist within a single entity. By dispersing one's own soul, one can exist in the present world as multiple spiritual entities. Exchange requires 1400 Intelligence, 1200 Spirit, one B-rank side quest, and 7000 reward points!

A Noble Phantasm from Hassan of the Hundred Faces in the Type-Moon universe, a skill with extremely severe side effects. After obtaining it, even if you don't have multiple personalities, it will forcibly separate your mind.

But for Mutsumi Wakaba, whose multiple personality disorder was even more absurd than Hassan's, this side effect was useless.

The greatest function of this Noble Phantasm is to materialize and release all personalities. But more than combat power, Akimi felt that 'releasing' all personalities was one of her goals.

Perhaps, she simply wants to create a reincarnation team that consists only of herself?

Qiu Hai stroked his chin; he had never seen such a case before!

However, it is worth encouraging and worth trying.

With a flick of her finger, Qiu Hai approved the demonized Wakaba Mutsumi's identity as a 'Reincarnator' in the judgment! However, she needed to pay 3000 reward points and a D-level side quest to purchase a low-level wristwatch to redeem her as a 'human creator'. Furthermore, after the final battle, she would need to use 5000 reward points and a B-level side quest to purchase...

Only the official Reincarnation Watch can allow the demonized Wakaba Mutsumi to exist as a true reincarnator.

Since Qiu Hai doesn't offer the option to create babies, this can be seen as him fixing a bug in the items he sells.
