Genshin impact : Heaven's Will, Let Teyvat Become The Supreme World

Chapter 39: chapter 39



*Chiba Prefecture, Not Far from Tokyo*

A small hospital with its lights on stood in the night. When the door of the operating room opened, family members rushed forward anxiously.

"Miss Tamayo, my father..."

"Don't worry, your father is fine," Tamayo said, pleased that she had saved another life, despite being a demon.

At that moment, the door of the medical center burst open.

"Miss Tamayo, something big has happened! Something big has happened!"

Tamayo frowned. "Yushiro, you are too impatient. What if you scare the patients and worsen their conditions?"

Although Tamayo was a gentle, motherly figure, Yushiro rarely saw her angry. But when she was, it was indeed terrifying. As Tamayo's subordinate demon, he could sense it clearly.

After a brief moment of fear, Yushiro became enamored once again, saying, "Ah! Even an angry Miss Tamayo is so beautiful."

Tamayo sighed. "Why are you in such a hurry, Yushiro?"

"Here, Miss Tamayo, please take a look at this," Yushiro said, handing her a newspaper.

Tamayo took the newspaper from Yushiro's hand, her expression shifting from surprise to confusion and finally to shock.

"The Demon King, Muzan Kibutsuji, has turned the royal family and the nobles into demons. He wants to turn Tokyo into a demon city and fight the army in the city?"

"And now, the gods have taken action, suppressing all the demons in Tokyo. The entire city is shrouded in divine light?"

How could this be?

Back when she was still human, Tamayo was a skilled doctor. Muzan Kibutsuji had turned her into a demon, forcing her to perform endless experiments in an attempt to create a drug that could help demons overcome the sun.

As his close servant, she knew Muzan's character well. Could he really do something so audacious given his cowardly nature?

After all, five hundred years ago, even after Yoriichi Tsugikuni, the creator of the Breath Techniques, had died, Muzan had hidden away for a century out of fear.

She simply couldn't imagine Muzan doing something so reckless.

"Where did this news come from?"

"It's spreading everywhere. Almost every newspaper has put this on the front page, along with information about the Visions and Lady Yae's descent to earth. Look, Miss Tamayo," Yushiro said, pulling out newspapers from different publishers.

"I see... So that's how it is. In that case, it's not surprising at all," Tamayo said after reading through the newspapers.

Although Muzan Kibutsuji was cowardly, he feared death the most. If the gods had descended to kill him, gifting the Demon Slayer Corps powerful abilities capable of tracking demons, then of course he would go to any length to create more demons and use the chaos to hide himself.

"The trouble that Muzan Kibutsuji caused this time is so big that almost all of the royal family and nobles in the shogunate cabinet have turned into demons. The country has been temporarily taken over by various shrines. Now, nations all over the world are turning to the shrines, asking for divine intervention regarding the Visions, Lady Yae, and the demons."

Yushiro was visibly excited.

"Does the whole world now know about Muzan Kibutsuji?" Tamayo was still processing everything. "What is the 'Vision' anyway?"

"Not only that," Yushiro continued, "according to the announcement by the high priest of the shrine, Muzan Kibutsuji will be put on trial at noon tomorrow."

"The trial of Muzan Kibutsuji?" Tamayo's face turned serious.

"Although I don't know the specifics, we must go and see for ourselves if it's truly Muzan Kibutsuji," she said.

Despite Muzan often changing his appearance, as his former servant, she could easily recognize him.

"I'll prepare a carriage for you, Miss Tamayo."

Not only was Tamayo preparing, but the Upper Rank demons who were still unaware that they had been abandoned were also left confused.

What was happening? Muzan Kibutsuji had turned the entire royal family and the nobles of Tokyo into demons, wreaked havoc in Tokyo, and even fought against the army, causing the entire world to learn about it?

This wasn't like Muzan at all. They knew him as someone who killed demons for eating people too openly, always trying to maintain a low profile.

And now, Muzan Kibutsuji was captured and was going to be tried at noon tomorrow?

Was this real or just a shogunate conspiracy against demons?

Whether it was real or fake, if the Demon King were killed, the curse binding them all would mean their deaths as well. Therefore, they had to find out the truth.

The problem was, they had no idea where Muzan was.

And the trial of Muzan Kibutsuji was to take place at noon tomorrow.

But it wouldn't matter if it was noon—the mere sight of the rising sun would be enough to make them vanish.

*Dawn Approaches*

The first rays of sunlight shone on this city that had not slept through the chaos.

The bustling streets were sparsely littered with dark stains, and severed limbs and pieces of flesh could be seen here and there. Rifles lay discarded in the corners.

Golden bullet casings and a faint wisp of smoke remained—evidence that something had transpired the previous night.

Thousands of shrines, large and small, were surrounded by crowds. The importance of these shrines in people's lives last night was beyond question.

While Tokyo's general population was just emerging from hiding, newspaper offices began printing furiously, delivering newspapers to the newsboys as fast as possible.

"Read all about it! The culprit who turned the royal family and nobles into demons—Muzan Kibutsuji, the thousand-year-old Demon King—has been captured!"

"At noon today, Muzan Kibutsuji will face judgment by the priest in front of the Kaifuki Shrine!"

"After the trial of Muzan Kibutsuji, new revelations from the high priest will be shared with the nations of the world!"

People emerged from the ruins, weary from a night of terror, hearing the shouting newsboys.

"Newspaper, give me one!"

"I'll take one too!"

Soon, newspapers were sold out, and people all over the country knew what had happened in Tokyo.

"Captured? That damned Demon King was caught?"

"Yes, I heard he was caught by two immortals from Takamagahara. We might even see the immortals during the trial!"

"Well, even if the damned Demon King was captured, it won't bring my son back. He worked at the Imperial Palace, and a demon took him from me!"

"The people killed by demons can't come back, but you can pray to the gods. Perhaps your loved ones can find peace in their next life."

"That's all we can do now. God bless us, Lady Yae bless us, the immortals bless us."

"Let's go! I want to see the Demon King put on trial!"

*Noon*

In front of Kaifuki Shrine, under the bright sun, Muzan Kibutsuji was tied to a tall post, the sun's rays blocked by a large umbrella above his head.

As soon as he thawed and regained consciousness, he was completely disoriented.

Before him were countless human faces, with a circle of demon slayers surrounding them.

Hadn't he boarded a ship to a country across the ocean?

He recalled his most recent memory, and his face turned pale.

He had indeed boarded the sailboat, but he remembered hearing a voice. When he turned around, he had seen the two immortals from Takamagahara.

After that, everything went blank.
