Chapter 87: Celestial Phenomenon

Muzan's flesh and blood scattered toward the surroundings, and the dense forest gave him an unprecedented sense of security.

As long as he hid into the forest, Jotaro absolutely could not destroy all the flesh chunks. The escape technique he had bitterly trained these days gave him enough confidence.

With just one piece, he could regain his form.

"Yare yare…" Jotaro said lightly, "Even up till now, you still haven't understood? The most terrifying part of Star Platinum isn't its precise movements or its overwhelming strength."

"It's that it can stop time!"

He suddenly stretched out his finger and shouted, "Time stop!"

Reflected in Muzan's cells was all green vegetation, showing how desperately he longed to hide in the forest.

But that would be a reality he could never reach.

"Ora ora ora ora…"

In an instant, Star Platinum pieced together Muzan's body like a shattered porcelain being reassembled.

Though it was tattered and broken, one could still make out Muzan's form.

"Time resume!"

"What!"

As soon as consciousness returned, what entered his eyes was not green vegetation, but Jotaro's face.

Muzan was shocked and cried out in panic.

"Let me see… Mm, not a single piece was missed." Jotaro said with a half-smile.

Star Platinum considerately aligned the wounds, and Muzan healed even more comfortably, soon, the bloody seams were fully closed.

Before he could even react, Star Platinum's fist came again, along with Jotaro's voice, colder than a mountain spring.

"Very soon, you'll become your favorite kind of meat chunks, only, not just ten thousand pieces this time."

A golden light suddenly burst from Star Platinum's body, brilliant ripples filling its form.

Muzan saw the full outline of Star Platinum for the first time, and it was also the last.

Under the raging onslaught of Star Platinum's storm-like blows, Muzan's body shattered into one hundred thousand fragments, and each fragment pulsed with ripple energy.

'Time stop! And this power like the sun! My life is over!'

The tiny flesh chunks, under the corrosion of ripple energy, turned into wisps of blue smoke, vanishing without end.

Even if Muzan was still unwilling, he had no strength to turn things around.

Shinobu and the others who had rushed over just in time witnessed the scene of Muzan's demise, and their hearts could not calm down for a long while.

The Demon King who had troubled humanity for so many years was finally dead, and he died so miserably.

At this moment, she didn't know whether to feel joy… or sorrow.

Though the demon had vanished, the people who had died at the demon's hands could never return.

Shinobu shifted her gaze from Muzan's vanishing flesh fragments to Jotaro and murmured, "Big sister, if your spirit watches from the heavens, you can rest in peace now. The pain we experienced will no longer fall upon others."

Jotaro stood quietly in the center of the battlefield, spotless from head to toe.

He reached out his hand and pulled out a notebook, flipping to the page of Muzan's bill. At the bottom of the bill, he steadily and swiftly signed his name,

[Kujo Jotaro]

Rip!

He tore off the bill and tossed it into the air. He stuffed both hands into his trouser pockets, the tail of his coat swaying in the wind.

"Debt paid in full. Keep the receipt."

A strand of flame appeared out of thin air on the bill, slowly burning it into ashes. At the moment it touched the ground, the ashes were completely swept away by the cold wind.

———

Once Muzan died, all demons related to him perished completely.

"Everything is over."

Kagaya Ubuyashiki looked at the ceiling and spoke in a soft voice.

He had been monitoring the situation on the battlefield all along, and the moment Muzan died, he immediately received the news.

As for why he hadn't offered Jotaro any help, it was because Jotaro had warned them earlier not to interfere.

"What a reliable man." A smile floated to the corners of his mouth.

Amane exclaimed, "Kagaya, the scar on your face is fading!"

"Mm." Kagaya Ubuyashiki smiled gently and said, "I feel an unprecedented vitality. Muzan's curse has already been cleared."

The two looked at each other and smiled, and tears streamed from their eyes.

"Jotaro-san helped us with such a great favor. How should we thank him?"

"Even if we handed the entire Ubuyashiki family business to him, we still wouldn't be able to repay his kindness!" After calming her emotions, Amane spoke softly.

Kagaya Ubuyashiki smiled and said, "He wouldn't care about those things. He is a pure man."

"He helps others without holding any ulterior motives."

With his own strength, he stood up and looked at the fog-covered mountain peaks in the distance.

"The Demon Slayer Corps no longer needs to exist. Before its disbandment, I plan to erect a grand monument for Jotaro-san. To forever remember the kindness he gave us."

———

Under the dark night sky, the first ray of dawn light sparkled, Jotaro stood with the light at his back, and the shadow on the ground was as straight as his body!

Watching Jotaro slowly walk over, Tanjiro's eyes had already gone wide, his heart's excitement completely uncontrollable.

In his eyes, this was the coolest man, he had a feeling of glory just looking at him.

'What a great person!'

Tanjiro's blood surged, and he secretly resolved, 'From now on, I will definitely become a reliable person like Jotaro.'

Just as he was about to walk forward to welcome him, an anomaly suddenly appeared beside Jotaro.

Having defeated Muzan, the humans of the Demon Slayer world had been liberated from the demons' harm.

Jotaro had completed the system's ultimate mission. At this moment, the passage to traverse worlds opened, a dark red beam of light shone onto his body.

Fierce winds whipped around, foreign currents surged.

Jotaro was also startled. Although he had long known he would leave this world soon, he didn't expect it to happen so suddenly.

"You damn system!"

Inside the light beam, a powerful suction left him unable to move.

"Jotaro-san!"

The beam of light that appeared from nowhere caused Tanjiro and the others to panic. They shouted anxiously, their eyes full of worry.

Nezuko seemed to sense something. Without any hesitation, she rushed over.

"Don't come over!" Jotaro shouted, "Inside this beam you'll be transported to another world, don't get caught up in it."

Nezuko seemed not to hear him at all, she had already entered the light beam and immediately hugged him.

Her slender arms wrapped around Jotaro's waist, rendering him unable to move.

"What are you doing!"

'Star Platinum!' His body couldn't move, so he wanted to use his Stand to throw Nezuko out.

However, in this vast and powerful interdimensional passage, even the Stand's strength was insignificant.

With the enormous suction, even Star Platinum couldn't resist.

Seeing Nezuko had rushed into the beam, Tanjiro also wanted to step in, but he immediately heard Jotaro's stopping voice.

"Tanjiro! Stop!"

"Jotaro-san…" Tanjiro's raised foot paused, hesitated for a second, but then he gritted his teeth and prepared to step forward.

Who knew, the beam of light shot straight into the sky, and the figures of Jotaro and Nezuko turned into twinkling starlight and disappeared before his eyes!

A sky-filling force swept in, and Tanjiro was thrown out entirely.

He staggered and climbed up, looking at the now empty earth before him, and cried out, "This… what happened?"

"Jotaro-san! Nezuko!" He called out twice, but no one responded.

He suddenly thought of something, looked around, pounding his chest and stomping his feet.

"Damn it! Why is Miss Shinobu gone too! Where did everyone go!"
