Consequence Of One's Actions!

(1621 Words!)

Anos: "Nice to meet you all, I am Anos Voldigoad. The Demon King Of Tyranny. I am the pinnacle of all strength and wisdom. I stand atop all races and I have no equal. And know that even throughout the Heavens and the Earth, I alone am the Honoured One."

Anos looked around and saw everyone tensed up at his declaration. He ignored them all and looked to the man with a strange purple infection spreading across his body. No, it wasn't an infection more like a curse. Anos hummed to himself with slight interest before turning to face Shinobu as he spoke.

Anos: "I take it that your sister still hasn't given an answer and you called me here because your leader asked you to?"

Shinobu gulped in nervousness as Anos spoke to her. Now that she actually got to take a proper look at him, she could tell that this man no this demon before her was horrifyingly powerful. But she still did nod her head.

Anos: "Well, it's not like I have anything better to do anyways. So tell me young man, why did you wish to see me?"

Ubuyashiki shivered but still calmly spoke.

Ubuyashiki: "I hope you will forgive me for not being able to bow, but this disease has prevented me from doing alot of things without support from my wife and children."

Anos merely nodded his head before he replied calmly.

Anos: "It's alright. As this isn't my castle, and you are the leader of an entire organisation, you must show some level of authority. To bow to one whom your people hate with a passion is no good for a leader to be seen doing."

Ubuyashiki: "Thank you for your understanding."

Anos: "As I said, something as trivial as bowing is of no importance to me unless you are to visit my castle. Now then, explain what do you want from me?"

Ubuyashiki: "Anos Voldigoad, I would like to ask you for help defeating this organisations biggest enemy Kibutsuji Muzan."

Anos: "The child who fears death more than anything huh?"

Everyone in the room became slightly confused at Anos's words, but he ignored them all as he continued speaking.

Anos: "But how interesting that this world has a flower that can grant you these powers."

Everyone: "WHAT?!"

Anos: "Hrrm? Ah, you all obviously don't know it. But the man you call Kibutsuji Muzan came to be who he is now because of a flower."

In Anos's hand appeared a lily spider flower, but instead of it being red, it was blue.

Anos: "This flower is the reason for the creation of the "demons". It's name is the Blue Spider Lily, and it's a flower that man has been searching for for thousands of years."

Ubuyashiki: "If it's something he's been searching for thousands of years, why hasn't he found it?"

Anos: "Simple enough, it's because the flower only blooms at daytime two or three days a year, and when it does, it only blooms for a short period of time and then it closes back up, resembling that of a big horsetail weed. And, the flower can never be reached by his demons anyway."

Shinobu: "Why's that?"

Anos: "Because it grows at mountains with a large amount of sunlight. And sometimes depending on the season, they don't even bloom at all."

Anos's words shocked everyone. The fact that demons came to be because of a single plant was beyond shocking. Everyone's attention was brought to Shinobu who asked Anos.

Shinobu: "Anos Voldigoad, say we got our hands on these blue spider lily, could it be used to make a poison that can turn demons into humans?"

Anos: "Of course it can. After all, the demons came to be because of blue spider lily, and if Muzan ever got his hands on it, he could make himself invincible to sunlight."

All the Hashiras were thankful that these spider lily's could only be found in locations with lots of sunlight, and that they don't stay bloomed forever.

Shinobu: "Then, do you think you can give us a blue spider lily to study it? Even 1 should be fine."

Anos: "Sure."

Anos brought out a single blue spider lily out of thin air, and handed it to Shinobu. Shinobu was ecstatic to get the blue spider lily, only for her face to scrunch up in confusion once the fully bloomed blue spider lily closed itself making it look like a horsetail weed.

Anos: "Have you forgotten what I said about the blue spider lily? They only grow in places with large amounts of sunlight. And obviously, this place doesn't have any sunlight reaching it making it un bloom. Good luck having to wait for it to rebloom, and making sure all the conditions for its blooming are met. "

Shinobu looked at Anos with blank eyes making Anos snicker with amusement. However, when he saw that even the other Hashiras weren't laughing he sighed to himself as he muttered.

Anos: "I was so sure what I did would make them laugh. Sigh, these youngsters will never understand comedy."

Anos's words caused the Hashiras eyebrows to twitch in annoyance as Sanemi all but growled.

Sanemi: "I'll kill this fucker"

However, Sanemi was stopped by his Ubuyashiki raising his hand gesturing Sanemi to stay put. Sanemi grumbled in annoyance, but still obeyed.

Anos: ' I wonder if these "Demons" die to sunlight is because the sun in this world contains holy elements that kills demons like the ones from my world? Or are they more vampire than demon and the sun kills them anyways?'

Anos muttered to himself.

Anos: "But still, Demons that die like Vampire's. That's a very sad story to hear."

Ubuyashiki: "So Anos Voldigoad, can I ask you to help make the Hashiras and they're Tsugoku's stronger to allow us the chance of beating Muzan?"

Anos hummed and looked around at the Hashiras who all were ready to strike him at any moment. He then replied.

Anos: "It's pointless to train them to surpass the physical strength of the Upper Moon Demons and Muzan. However, their technique and instincts can be honed far better than before."

Shinjuro: "Are you implying that we cannot grow stronger?"

Anos shook his head and replied.

Anos: "You misunderstood me. You most definitely can grow stronger, but no matter how much you grow in strength, the demons will always surpass you."

Anos pointed his hand to Gyomei as he spoke.

Anos: "Even if your strongest Hashira fought against an Upper Moon, he would be capable of only surviving fighting upper moon 3. And that still with extreme difficulties."

Everyone: "..."

Anos: "Never forget that not all of you have the ability to grow strong like Gyomei can."

Gyomei looked surprised as he questioned Anos.

Gyomei: "How do you know my name?"

Anos: "There is no secrets that I am unaware of."

Gyomei: "I see. Oyakata-Sama, may I ask him a question?"

Ubuyashiki was a bit surprised, but still nodded his head.

Gyomei: "Anos Voldigoad, your "Disciple" broke a sacred rule of the Demon Slayer Corps. She made a deal with a Demon, and while this would normally have immediately brand her a traitor, we haven't done so only because of the fact that she got a boost enough to outspeed Upper Moon Two from you. Tell me, what would you do if we said we wanted to have Shinobu commit seppuku?"

Anos:" It wouldn't matter if you executed her. I can simply revive her afterwards."

This time it was Tengen Uzui who questioned Anos.

Tengen: "And will she become a demon when she is revived?"

Anos: "If she wants to, I am more than capable of turning her into one."

The next one to ask a question was Giyuu Tomioka.

Giyu: "So your saying you can revive her, but she won't be turned into a demon?"

Everyone looked at Giyuu in shock. So much so that Tengen blurted out.

Tengen: "He can speak?"

Tengens words caused a vein to appear to appear on his forehead as he replied.

Giyuu: "It's important we know if being revived by him comes with any dangerous consequences. We cannot risk Kochou-San bearing a grudge against the Corps for her execution. With the fact that she is also this Demons "Disciple" we must be careful with what we choose as her punishment."

This time everyone was so baffled, that Kyojuro Rengoku blurted.

Kyojuro: "Incredible! He can apparently form full sentences! I never knew that!"

Everyone stifled their laughter hearing his words, but Giyu just got even more irritated. Anos also chuckled lightly as he replied.

Anos: "If I wanted to, I can turn you into any race. High-Humans, God's, Demi-God, Demon, Angel, any race that you wish for I can turn you into that race. Or if you prefer staying human, I don't mind."

Shinobu breathed a sigh of relief. Atleast she won't have to turn into the one thing she hated. But she still felt slightly sad that just because he could bring her back from the dead, he didn't even try to defend her.

Anos: "Shinobu. You must understand that your actions have consequences. And you must learn to take responsibility for your actions and their consequences."

Shinobu: "I-I understand. Oyakata-Sama, I once more apologise for what I've done."

Ubuyashiki: "I understand your frustration that lead you to getting desperate enough too acquire strength, but please understand that no matter what, you will still be punished for breaking our rules. Especially one of our biggest taboos."

Shinobu: "I.... I understand Oyakata-Sama. I'm willing to undergo any punishments given to me."

Ubuyashiki: "Shinobu Kochou, you are hereby sentenced to commit seppuku for breaking our taboo."

Everyone: "!!!!"

{AN: "Aight. Now, should I have her commit seppuku? After all, she did still bring to them a massive advantage by saving a fellow Hashira, and getting information on an Upper Moon Demon. I definitely think this should be good enough to let her off the hook with a slightly less gory punishment. But I'll let yall decide.}

Commmit Seppuku?

No Seppuku?
