Chapter 104: All demons' strength +1, Demon Slayer Corps' strength -1
After being struck by Muzan's critical strike and having his defenses breached, Shugo underwent a significant change.
This is a change that Muzan is happy to see.
They became closer.
Every time he went to bed, Shugo finally stopped looking like he was constipated.
The facts are undeniable, leaving Shugo no choice but to admit that his fatherly love has changed!
She used to aspire to be Muzan's father, then kicked him out and ran away. Why did she end up like this?
Hiiragi held the tea and sighed.
Muzan hugged Shugo, gave him a kiss, and said affectionately, "Aren't you going to work?"
Hiiragi choked, "Why are you suddenly so concerned about work?"
A beautiful woman with a wide waist, narrow hips, fair skin, and a pretty face shrunk herself into an adorable three-headed figure.
Shugo held the tiny Muzan in his arms, handling his affairs while venting to Muzan.
Seeing that Muzan was listening with great interest, Shugo thought to himself: You really just like listening to my stand-up comedy!
(The following is a continuation of the Stone Mask report from the previous two chapters)
[First Report on the Stone Mask Potential Development Experiment]
[Researcher: Nayuta Group]
[Regulator: Kokushibo]
[Experimental subjects: newly transformed ghosts; ghosts that have already consumed large amounts of food; multiple control groups were set up]
[Experimental Results: All demons who wore the Stone Mask and had their potential activated experienced varying degrees of increase in strength and agility, with new demons showing greater increases than older demons.]
[Data: Before experiment; After experiment (omitted)]
[Duration: The observation period lasted one and a half months, and no adverse symptoms have been found so far]
[Experimental Conclusion: The Stone Mask can be effective against demons, but its effect on developing life potential seems to be limited, with the best effect the first time and almost no effect the second time.]
[Note: Lord Kokushibo strongly requested to participate in this experiment.]
"Kuroshibo? How proactive." Shugo muttered to himself.
Perhaps because he had watched too many movies in his previous life depicting foolish researchers being killed by experimental subjects, Shugo repeatedly emphasized the importance of laboratory safety.
However, he did not ask Kokushibo to conduct experiments or supervise him.
To become stronger?
You can take the initiative.
But who told you that? How did Kokushibo, that shut-in who spends all his time training in the dojo, know about this?
Shugo remained expressionless. He decided to implement a confidentiality agreement from now on.
[Experiment Report: Second Report on the Development of the Stone Mask's Life Potential]
[Premise: Redstone, which refracts light, can amplify the effects of the Stone Golem (questionable)]
[PS: We have used Crimson Iron Sand and Crimson Ore. Redstone successfully drew out the 'sunlight' from the ore. Two of the experimenters have died.]
[Researcher: Nayuta Group]
[Regulator: Kokushibo]
[Experimental Method: Redstone was inlaid at the manufacturing station of the modified stone facet]
[PS: The Stone Mask works primarily because of the bone needles; the effect of the stone itself is unclear, but using the bone needles alone is ineffective.]
[Experimental subjects: Newly transformed demons; demons that have already consumed large amounts of food / demons from the previous batch that have already used the Stone Mask]
[Experimental Results: All the ghosts died instantly, in a manner similar to being killed by sunlight—scorched to death from the inside out?]
[Experimental Conclusion: The Stone Mask modification failed; the redstone amplified the power of light]
Muzan asked in surprise, "This gorilla ore, is it from the Nichirin Blade of the Demon Slayer Corps?"
The design, imbued with the power of sunlight, looks exactly like something the Demon Slayer Corps would have.
Shugo said nonchalantly, "That's right, these ores come from Sunshine Mountain. I had someone spread the word that the ores from the top of Sunshine Mountain have miraculous effects of prolonging life, and I made up a few stories."
For the sake of creating a buzz, he even got the Fujiwara family to cooperate.
The news caused a sensation as soon as it was released!
Then Shugo gave a mocking smile: "Many people went to look for minerals because of this. These minerals that absorb the power of sunlight are indeed quite strange. They have a warm and smooth feel, and the shogunate has taken them as its private property."
"I kept a close eye on the circulation of those ores, and also reported to the shogunate that some people were using these special ores to forge swords without authorization."
The man he bribed spoke with such fervor and passion!
Whistleblower: For the sake of the shogunate's rule!
"We sent them a few Nichirin swords and uniforms as samples, and the Shogun was furious!" (The Shogun was just the head of the shogunate; the Emperor was now merely a figurehead.)
"An order was issued to hunt down this organization, and many Demon Slayer Corps members have already been executed, including Pillars."
Shogun: Whether or not to kill the demons is another matter, but I've never seen a demon. A hundred men with swords? That's a private army! They pose a huge threat to my rule!
The enemy will naturally launch a full-scale attack.
Hiiragi also secretly had a sword ban issued, prohibiting ordinary people from carrying swords.
Muzan was stunned, his face showing a look of disbelief that such a thing could be done.
Shugo patted Muzan's cute head and looked at him with affection.
If you had even gathered a little political influence and caused some trouble for the Demon Slayer Corps, you wouldn't have died so silently; you would have at least dealt a heavy blow to the Demon Slayer Corps.
With your capabilities, you could easily take down an important city like Kyoto or Tokyo, if not the entire nation.
Then comes the much-anticipated demand from the robbers (they ask the Demon Slayer Corps for Nezuko).
Even though it's a big deal, it will definitely leave traces. At worst, you can just run away to another country.
The world is so big, don't just focus on this tiny, run-down island!
