Chapter 332: Muzan Visits the Biochemical Research Institute!

Chapter 332: Muzan Visits the Biochemical Research Institute!

The Demon Slayer Corps Headquarters is hidden among towering mountains and steep ridges. The dense vegetation makes the nights here very cool, though there are quite a few insects.

In the master bedroom in the Manor Backyard, Ubuyashiki Amane sat beside her husband, holding his arm, listening to his words and the chirping of insects from outside.

Her original name was Jingu Amane. She was an extremely beautiful woman with snow-white silver hair, even called the 'White Birch Tree Fairy' by Mist Hashira Muichiro Tokito.

The Jingu Clan is an ancient bloodline of Shinto priests in Japan, naturally possessing much stronger Life Force than Ordinary People.

To help the Ubuyashiki Family continue their Bloodline as much as possible, they married into the latter's family heirs generation after generation. But even so, the Ubuyashiki boys could not live past thirty.

Amane married Kagaya Ubuyashiki when she was seventeen and he was only thirteen. Originally, she was dissatisfied with this unfree arranged marriage.

But after meeting Kagaya Ubuyashiki, he said to her, "If you don't like it, I will refuse this matter."

These words, so considerate of her Stance, ultimately made her decide to marry him.

Over the years, she had given birth to one son and four daughters for him, and had worked hard to be a perfect wife, helping him manage the various affairs of the Demon Slayer Corps.

"Amane, I saw it."

Kagaya Ubuyashiki's blind eyes seemed to be looking through the bead curtain on the window, 'gazing' at the Milky Way in the sky, speaking a meaningful sentence.

"Is it our Future life?"

Ubuyashiki Amane was not surprised by this. She looked at her husband's face with a slightly curious Gaze.

"Yes, it's a place called the Flower Capital. Many cherry blossom petals are fluttering in the Air, and I also saw you and Kiriya with happy Smiles."

"It sounds like we're doing well."

Ubuyashiki Amane showed a joyful, gentle Smile.

She knew that the men of the Ubuyashiki Family would Awaken a Future Sight Ability. Past family heads used this Ability to do business outside and earn enough Wealth to provide the large amount of Funding needed by the Demon Slayer Corps.

This Future Sight Ability could be said to be both controllable and uncontrollable.

It was controllable in that he could decide when to activate the Ability, but uncontrollable in that the time point of the Future Sight was random. What he saw was just a Screen Feed of something that would happen within roughly a year.

"However, I also saw the Future of this Country, a Future filled with War and death."

Kagaya Ubuyashiki's mood was heavy at this moment.

Clearly, Lucci's 'invitation' and 'Affiliation' were not friendly negotiations, but extremely forceful Military aggression. Just as he had said before, this was Conquest!

Ubuyashiki Amane had heard about the various Matters that happened in the afternoon, so she naturally understood what her husband meant.

"We can't stop it, can we?"

"But I'm wondering if I should give the Japanese Government a little warning. After all, we have been inheriting our Bloodline in this Country for thousands of years..."

Kagaya Ubuyashiki fell into hesitation and distress. The Feeling of knowing a great disaster was about to happen but having to keep silent, and even having to go live in the aggressor's World, made this gentle-to-the-bone man feel tormented.

Ubuyashiki Amane could understand her husband's feelings. She reached out her slender Palm and placed it on his cheek.

"Even if you put these Matters on the Prime Minister's desk, would they believe it? Even if they believed it, what could they do?"

Saying this, she took out a Newspaper from a nearby drawer, looked at the picture on the front page, and said softly.

"This is the latest Asahi Shimbun. It reports that the Urban Area of Hachioji City has been destroyed into ruins by a Super Sandstorm, and a Great Fissure appeared, up to seventeen meters deep, five meters wide, and over four hundred meters long, with severe desertification at the edges."

These words plunged Kagaya Ubuyashiki into a long silence.

He knew what his wife wanted to say. This must have been a Grand Gesture by Vice Admiral Crocodile.

Such a powerful Combat Power, comparable to a Natural Disaster, was simply invincible to the Japanese Government. And such an existence was merely a Vice Admiral in that World Government!

Who knew how many Vice Admirals they had? Who knew how terrifying the Admirals above them were?

Perhaps, they could be told to evacuate the people in advance...

But if the World Government found out about this, wouldn't it cut off the chance that might change the Ubuyashiki Family's Fate, and also ruin his family's happy Future?

"Ah—"

In the end, the Master of the Demon Slayer Corps could only let out a long sigh.

The next morning.

Lucci stood by the window of the guest room, quietly watching the large number of Crows flying out like Dark Clouds.

This was the Demon Slayer Corps recalling their dispatched members.

After all, joining the World Government and going to the Sea Star World was a monumental event, so a Conference had to be held with everyone.

Those who were willing would go together, and those who were not would naturally stay.

A moment later, Lucci took out a Transponder Snail and began to Report the Situation of the Demon Slayer Corps to the Command Center of the Otherworld Strategy Committee.

Sea Star World.

In the First Half of the Grand Line, within the World Government's exclusive Triangle Current, a Marine Warship was sailing at extreme Speed through the rapids.

Muzan Kibutsuji stood by the round window, numbly watching the Giant Iron Gate slowly closing behind him. The five-circle cross imprinted on the Gate was so blinding.

He already knew the Truth about the World Government.

Along the way, he first saw the Black Army continuously pouring in, then the magical Star Gate that could travel between two Worlds, and also the vast, reddish land.

Naturally, he also knew where he was heading now.

He heard it was a large Prison called Impel Down...

Behind Muzan stood a Woman wearing a Black Kimono, with long black Bangs covering half of her face. It was his Attendant, Nakime.

For hundreds of years, it was thanks to her Blood Demon Art that the teleportation Function of the Infinity Castle had been operating normally.

Now, this World Government seemed to have taken a liking to this Ability of hers.

As for the Twelve Kizuki, they weren't so lucky. Thinking of this, Muzan turned his head and glanced expressionlessly at Crocodile, who was sitting leisurely in a chair with his legs crossed, constantly puffing out Cigar smoke.

It was because of the presence of this man, like the Desert God in Myth, that even without any physical restraints, he didn't dare to have the slightest thought of escaping.

Soon.

This Warship arrived in front of the Steel Gate of the Great Undersea Prison. It was the same as always; eight Marine Warships were stationed outside the high walls at all times.

The Sense of Oppression that rushed over was enough to make one feel suffocated.

At this moment, Impel Down, having received the News, had already set up its Situation. Dozens of Prison Guards holding rifles stood on both sides of the Stone Bridge, their eyes fixed straight ahead.

"Welcome back, Vice Admiral Crocodile!"

Magellan, wearing a Black Uniform with bat-wing decorations on his back, looked down at the approaching Crocodile and greeted him.

"Heh heh."

Crocodile's mouth twitched at his greeting.

"Another Giant..."

Muzan Kibutsuji looked speechlessly at Magellan, who was estimated to be nearly five meters tall. For him, a Demon under 1.8 meters in Height, the 2.5-meter tall Crocodile was already very tall.

"So this is the Prisoner from the Other World? You are very lucky, because you are the first, enough to be recorded in Impel Down's history."

After speaking, Magellan waved his hand and said, "Come with me, you still need to go through a few procedures."

"Let me warn you, this guy is no weaker than me. You'd better be honest~"

Crocodile bent down and whispered a Warning in Muzan's ear, then turned and left without another word. He truly didn't want to stay in this place for another second.

Muzan didn't reply. In fact, he didn't need to be told; he could feel the dangerous Aura emanating from Magellan himself.

When he and Nakime, accompanied by a group of Prison Guards, passed through an upward-rising iron bar gate, they arrived inside the Stone Building on the Sea level.

"Ah ah ah—"

"No, don't!"

"Save me! I don't want to go down! Ah—"

Instantly, desperate pleas for mercy, painful, miserable Screams, and various sounds filled with Negative Emotions poured into the ears of Muzan Kibutsuji and Nakime.

Well, you really can't say anything. Upon hearing these sounds, Muzan not only felt no fear or Nervousness, but instead showed an Expression of enjoyment.

To be honest, if he weren't a Prisoner, he would actually quite like the atmosphere here~

"Come here, you two! Put the Three-Piece Set on him!"

Magellan gave the Order to Gecko Moria and Tarklama, who were glaring at each other not far away.

Because Tarklama's Shadow had been cut off by Moria earlier, the two had developed a grudge. Although he knew this was a Decision by the World Government's Higher-ups to guard against him, he could only find trouble with Moria.

So whenever they met, he would speak sarcastically, and sometimes when things got heated, they would even exchange a few blows, only to be taught a lesson by Magellan who rushed over. Day after day, they became a well-known pair of rivals in Impel Down.

"Three pieces?"

"Who is this Big Shot now?"

Gecko Moria and Tarklama first snorted coldly upon hearing this, then walked over while looking curiously at Muzan and Nakime.

One must know that the Rules of Impel Down had changed.

The first four Underground 'Hells' had been largely emptied, with everyone pulled out to serve as various construction Laborers. From now on, only Prisoners with a Bounty of over 100 million would be eligible to be held here and be handcuffed with Seastone Handcuffs.

On top of this, Criminals deemed very dangerous and likely to escape would have their Shadows cut off by Moria. This way, even if they did manage to get out using various strange Abilities, they would most likely be burned to death by Sunlight.

Then, Criminals deemed extremely dangerous, possessing very high Value, or those eligible to be confined in 'Infinite Hell', would have a 'Slave Green Ring' added.

These were jokingly referred to by the Jailers as the 'One-Piece Set', 'Two-Piece Set', and 'Three-Piece Set'!

Soon.

Muzan Kibutsuji and Nakime were first handcuffed at the wrists and ankles, then their Shadows were cut off from their feet by Gecko Moria using Large Scissors, and finally, Slave King Tarklama placed an emerald-like Green Ring around their necks.

"Muzan Kibutsuji, I've seen your Data/Files."

"I know Seastone Handcuffs have no effect on your Abilities, and you can freely manipulate your Body structure, but don't let me find out you've taken them off without permission. Believe me, you won't want to Experience the consequences."

Magellan glared down at the two Otherworld Prisoners before him with fierce Gaze.

In fact, he knew whether they had Shadows or not made no difference, as these Demons were inherently vulnerable to Sunlight. But this was also part of the procedure.

"Oh?"

"I'm curious what your Ability is?"

As soon as Muzan Kibutsuji saw that Crocodile was completely out of sight, his courage began to recover. He didn't believe there were so many people in this World who could completely counter him.

But just as he was about to make a move, the circular ring around his neck suddenly burst forth with bright green light, and his Body calmed down, no longer under his Control.

"Of course, you also can't take them off without permission."

Magellan snorted coldly and walked towards the Large Elevator in the distance without another word.

At this moment, only Tarklama's cold laugh was heard: "I Order you, follow Vice-Warden Magellan obediently and listen to his instructions!"

The next moment.

Muzan Kibutsuji, with a face full of shock, walked along with Nakime. His Body had completely become a puppet under their Control!

At the same time, he felt Despair for his Future...

Immediately after, the two were led to a Hall filled with High Temperature Steam.

They saw a group of trembling men and women of various strange appearances, lined up in a long queue under the supervision of Prison Guards holding Whips on both sides, leading to the depths from which wails and Screams constantly echoed.

"You two go and join the queue to receive the Baptism. I will wait for you ahead."

After saying this, Magellan ignored them. Muzan and Nakime's Bodies obediently joined the end of the queue and, as Time passed, slowly arrived at a Stone Platform similar to a diving board.

"Oh~ So the so-called Baptism is jumping into Hot Water for a bath?"

Muzan walked to the Edge of the Stone Platform and looked down at the large Iron Pot filled with boiling Hot Water below. The next second, without waiting for the tall Jailer beside him to urge him, he jumped down without hesitation.

With a splash, a large amount of scalding Wave and white Steam splashed up.

Next.

Nakime also jumped down very decisively. However, unlike Muzan's ease, she couldn't help but groan in pain. Her pale skin also turned red at a visible Speed, and signs of scalding began to appear.

But as a Demon, her super Self-Healing Ability kept her skin in a state of being scalded, recovering, and being scalded again repeatedly.

Presumably, this Feeling was quite 'refreshing'?

The Baptism lasted only ten minutes. After coming out of the boiling Hot Water pool, Muzan and Nakime changed into clean zebra-striped Prison Uniforms and took the Large Elevator with Magellan.

They finally stopped at Level 5.5. When the Elevator's Gate opened, a silver-white space filled with eerie purple light and more than a dozen people wearing White Coats came into the three people's view.

"Hahaha, they're finally here!"

Dr. Fritz looked at Muzan Kibutsuji and Nakime with a joyful Smile, laughing, "Welcome to the Biochemical Research Institute, the 'Demon Progenitor' from the Other World! This will be your permanent residence from now on!"

"Shurorororororo, I've been looking forward to this for a long time! I heard you've lived for over a thousand years. Hurry up and let me Research your Body!"

Muzan looked speechlessly at this guy with goat horns on his head, who was nearly a meter taller than Crocodile. He was now certain this was a World full of Giants.

Isn't there an even bigger, taller one behind him, estimated to be over six meters tall?

Meanwhile.

Queen, who had just arrived here not long ago, was also looking at Muzan Kibutsuji and Nakime with curiosity. Compared to Lifespan, he was more interested in the super Self-Healing Ability of these Demons.

Besides them, there was also Dr. Shouei from the Kabaneri World among the crowd.

His latest Research result was the discovery that even if a Kabaneri Body was incomplete, such as missing an arm or leg, as long as the Heart was not destroyed and there was enough Human Blood to consume, it would automatically recover within one or two months.

Originally, this should have been a discovery of great Value, but the appearance of these Demons from the Demon Slayer World made the Kabaneri World's Self-Healing Ability seem somewhat redundant.

So he wanted to see if the Demons' Bloodline Genes could potentially speed up the Kabaneri's Self-Healing Ability rate.

In short, Muzan Kibutsuji was currently being stared at by over a dozen pairs of burning Gazes. From now on, he would be the biggest 'Star' in the Biochemical Research Institute!
