World Will?

Silently prying the bear trap off his lower leg, Kurozawa casually tossed it onto the ground.

At this moment, that malicious intent disappeared, or perhaps it just hid itself deeper. In Kurozawa's Fighting Spirit perception, everything was calm, without a hint of abnormality.

Bang! Kurozawa slightly bent his leg and leaped out of the deep pit.

Behind him, because he hadn't used his Pitch-Black Aura, the Demon that had been headshotted didn't die. It seemed to realize at this point that it had provoked the wrong person and took off running into the distance.

Kurozawa beckoned, and Mingzhou materialized, unleashing a cold, sharp blade light from afar that sliced it in two.

Watching the Demon burn and turn to ash, Kurozawa's brows furrowed deeply.

In fact, two days ago, he had felt that something was off. There was always a faint sense of being watched, but even when Kurozawa quietly expanded his Fighting Spirit domain and searched with all his might, he couldn't find the person behind it.

So, he had to attribute it to a hallucination caused by being overly vigilant.

But tonight's experience enlightened Kurozawa. It wasn't a hallucination, and that unknown entity was already making a move against him.

The malicious intent detected by his Fighting Spirit perception came from the ground, from the sky, from the wind, from the air... from everything Kurozawa could perceive. It was hard for him not to think that this world was targeting him, even though the idea was preposterous.

He didn't arrive at this thought directly, but rather the conclusion was reached after analyzing the events he encountered.

First, there was no problem with Hyuga Wu knowing he was coming to kill him. With his temperament, it wasn't hard to see Kurozawa's undisguised killing intent.

But trying to escape the pursuit of Kurozawa, who possessed Fighting Spirit, was simply a pipe dream, unless he could also master Fighting Spirit and suppress his own Fighting Spirit fluctuations to break the perception lock.

Hyuga Wu had done all of this. Kurozawa had confirmed that for some unknown reason, he had awakened Fighting Spirit, and it happened precisely during the short time he and Kanae were away.

Furthermore, when Kurozawa had removed his Demon Slayer Mark and was still in Total Concentration state, where did the Demon that suddenly attacked him get its nerve? Previously, Hyuga Nai had become angry when he restrained her, but her venting target when she went mad was Hyuga Wu, because Kurozawa's aura made her dare not approach him.

Even if this Demon was in a state of confusion, it shouldn't have committed such a suicidal act. Organisms have an instinct to seek advantage and avoid harm, unless it was seeking death, but in that case, it wouldn't have tried to escape just now.

Not only that, the loose falling rocks that struck him, the bear trap under his feet, were all too coincidental.

The iron bear trap looked old, but its biting force was not weak. It had already broken through Kurozawa's tough skin and was squeezed out by Kurozawa's iron-hard muscles. If it were an ordinary person, having bones broken was also very possible. That bear trap was originally used to deal with fierce beasts.

Although it was just a scrape that broke a little outer skin, Kurozawa truly found it unacceptable to be injured in such a way.

All these events combined made Kurozawa clearly feel the malice from the world.

As a transmigrator, and one with the power of attributes like Despair Annihilation, Kurozawa had once thought, in a world whose future trajectory was originally fixed, what would that world think of someone like him suddenly appearing? If the Demon Slayer world had its own consciousness, would this consciousness try to eliminate him?

In the year since awakening Gray-White, Kurozawa hadn't encountered anything strange, so this seemingly groundless worry had been left deep in his mind. But now, he thought of it again.

"But does the Demon Slayer world really have consciousness?"

"If it does, why didn't it act before, and only start targeting me now? It seems to have only noticed me two days ago."

Kurozawa didn't know that two days ago, the Flame Pillar died and Mount Fujikasane was destroyed. The one who acted was Hongyue, but Hongyue's purpose was to find him.

"Regardless, it does exist, and it's spying on me, targeting me..."

"Although I thought about this possibility before, it's still chilling when it actually happens."

No one could remain calm when being targeted by the world they were in.

Kurozawa took a few deep breaths to calm his thoughts.

"Maybe it really was just an extremely low probability coincidence... Fuck! How is that possible!"

Kurozawa rarely swore, but he couldn't deceive himself.

After a moment of silence, Kurozawa suddenly looked up. Through the dense branches and leaves, he saw the silent, dim night sky. The moon hanging high seemed like an eyeball silently watching and observing him.

"Exposing yourself for a Hyuga Wu?"

"Is he worth you doing this?"

"Are you planning to use him to eliminate me?"

"Hmph, then let him try to his heart's content!"

Even his arrival at this village tonight and his falling out with Hyuga Wu showed signs of being manipulated.

With Kurozawa's personality, he would only appreciate people like Hyuga Wu and generally wouldn't bother them, but for various reasons, things had ultimately developed to this point.

However, since he couldn't change reality, Kurozawa had to accept it.

Even if his guess was correct and he had to be an enemy of the world, so what? The worst outcome was nothing more than shattering into pieces. Kurozawa never feared death; trying his best was enough.

Facing the sky, Kurozawa grinned, revealing a wild smile, and then he raised his right hand and gave it the middle finger.

"Want to kill me? Then come!"

While knowing that he was likely being targeted by the world itself, Kurozawa also analyzed some aspects of his current situation.

This consciousness couldn't directly attack him, only indirectly influence the people and things around him. This meant that Kurozawa would be very unlucky from now on, becoming hated by everyone, and it was even possible to become an enemy of the entire world.

But no matter what, as long as he was strong enough, none of this could threaten him.

"Right, the Eternal Paradise Cult... the cultists in there should be able to provide me with quite a few Potential Points."

"Doma... perhaps I'll have to confront him head-on."

Because of the existence of Gray-White, Kurozawa knew that sooner or later he would reach the peak, so he wasn't in a hurry. But now, it seemed he had to take action.

Upper Moon Two, his current self was definitely not a match. Kurozawa knew his limitations.

But Kurozawa could hunt his followers while engaging in a back-and-forth with him, using the acquired Potential Points to constantly strengthen himself. As long as Doma had enough followers, Kurozawa was confident he could eventually kill him.

Gray-White's nature was inherently tempting, constantly luring Kurozawa towards slaughtering ordinary people, towards destroying countless lives. But he had never done so. However, after tonight, everything would be different. About ten minutes later, Kurozawa returned the way he came and quickly arrived at the spot where Kanae was waiting.

Seeing him, Kanae said with displeasure, "What took you so long?"

"Well, I was attacked by a Demon while I was taking care of business, so it wasted a bit of time," Kurozawa said casually, not batting an eye, pulling out a lie.

Kanae saw the torn pant leg on Kurozawa's calf and didn't doubt him. She said, "Are you okay? You look injured. Let me see."

"No need, not even a scratch, just my pants got chewed up."

Kurozawa extended his calf and shook it. There were only a few white marks on the skin of his calf; there were no injuries.

After his Constitution reached ten points or more, Kurozawa's self-healing ability far surpassed that of ordinary people. Although it was still not on the same level as a Demon's regeneration, for shallow skin injuries, ten minutes was enough for complete healing.

Because the plan was to finish a world in about 150 chapters, the author wanted to pick up the pace, but the first few chapters felt a bit stiff. The author decided to just let things happen naturally and take it slow.
