"Infinity Castle, Muzan's Resurrection" "No, it's too late. Miss Tamayo won't hold out, and Muzan will resurrect," Ubuyashiki Kiriya stated
"Infinity Castle, Muzan's Resurrection"
"No, it's too late. Miss Tamayo won't hold out, and Muzan will resurrect," Ubuyashiki Kiriya stated at Demon Slayer Corps headquarters, sensing Tamayo had reached her limit. Muzan Kibutsuji's rebirth was inevitable.
"The first echelon of Demon Slayers is approaching Muzan Kibutsuji's location; the second echelon will follow shortly," one of his younger sisters reported.
Ubuyashiki Kagaya's expression changed drastically. He yelled, "Wait! Stop! Don't let them go to Muzan! Order them to stand down until the Hashira arrive!"
But it was too late. The first echelon had already reached Muzan Kibutsuji's location. They tried to attack the massive cocoon with their Nichirin Blades, but it was suspended in mid-air, making it inaccessible.
"Found him! This is it! It's Muzan! Everyone, attack!"
"Our blades can't reach him! Can anyone jump down?"
"Calm down! Let's cut the things securing the cocoon first!"
"Wait! Oyakata-sama ordered us to stand down."
"This isn't the time for that! We need to do something before the Hashira arrive!"
The enormous cocoon suddenly cracked open. The reborn Muzan Kibutsuji leaped out, instantly tearing a Demon Slayer to pieces.
"Muzan! He's out! Muzan's out! Everyone, be careful!"
Muzan Kibutsuji moved like a wraith, flitting through the building. Within seconds, he had slaughtered every Demon Slayer present.
"Wait for the Hashira! Otherwise, you'll be killed and consumed to fuel his recovery!" Ubuyashiki Kagaya shouted from headquarters, but it was too late. The first echelon had been completely annihilated.
"Immediate retreat!" In the Infinity Castle, a crow bearing Yushiro's blood demon art paper talisman spoke, only to be torn in two by Muzan Kibutsuji.
"Completely wiped out," Muzan Kibutsuji said, holding Tamayo's head. "Though the taste of food fades after a millennium, that was a delicious meal in my hunger. Sending food specifically for me— commendable, Ubuyashiki."
"As his children, I don't know who was in charge, but they were efficient. If you kneel before me, I might turn you into a demon. Most of my subordinates are dead."
"Tamayo, how is it? Your medicine to turn demons back into humans… seems completely ineffective."
Tamayo's head crumbled to dust, but her furious gaze remained fixed on Muzan Kibutsuji. "You will surely go to hell today!"
Muzan Kibutsuji found her pathetic. "Hundreds have said that to me, but none have succeeded."
"Give me back my children and husband!"
"Then die immediately and rejoin your slain family."
Muzan Kibutsuji crushed Tamayo's head.
Meanwhile, Yushiro, elsewhere in the Infinity Castle, sensed something and collapsed, his hands leaving deep gashes in the floor, his face contorted in rage, blood dripping from his mouth. "Hmph… Muzan Kibutsuji! I will not forgive you!"
The second echelon arrived, only to meet the same fate as the first, falling like infants before Muzan Kibutsuji, their blood splattering across the ground.
No one survived.
"Enough. Useless. Even Kokushibo was defeated. Tonight, the Demon Slayer Corps will be annihilated. Let's exterminate the rest!"
Demon Slayer Corps Headquarters
"All the Demon Slayers… they're all dead," Ubuyashiki Kagaya said, his voice heavy with grief, after two echelons were completely wiped out. "I failed. My poor command led to this massacre. They waited centuries for this day, poured their hearts into defeating Muzan, and my failure ruined everything."
Ubuyashiki Kiriya spoke. "Lord Kagaya, please listen. Don't blame yourself. There are always sacrifices in war. To kill Muzan Kibutsuji, we must pay a heavy price. No Hashira have died—that's fortunate. So, please, be strong. The war isn't over."
Ubuyashiki Kagaya hesitated, then his resolve returned.
"Confirm Muzan's location! Crows, maintain distance! His attack range is exceptionally wide! Assemble the Hashira immediately! All other Demon Slayers, concentrate your forces!"
Infinity Castle
"Muzan's resurrected! Muzan's resurrected! Hashira, assemble immediately!" A crow cried out, attracting everyone's attention.
Only Iguro Obanai and Mitsuri Kanroji were still fighting Upper Moons—Upper Moon Four, Nakime. Nakime's blood demon art held them back, preventing them from providing support.
Tanjiro Kamado, Giyu Tomioka, and Kyōjurō Rengoku were the first to encounter Muzan Kibutsuji.
"Muzan!" Seeing the reborn demon, Tanjiro Kamado remembered the scene at home—his family lying in pools of blood. The demon who killed his family stood before him.
Tanjiro Kamado's breathing quickened, his heart pounding, his face contorting with rage.
As he lunged towards Muzan Kibutsuji, Giyu Tomioka restrained him. "Tanjiro Kamado, calm down!"
However, Giyu Tomioka, his eyes bloodshot, was barely more composed than Tanjiro Kamado.
Kyōjurō Rengoku remained relatively calm, mainly because he had no family members killed by Muzan Kibutsuji.
"How tiresome," Muzan Kibutsuji said. "You people are so persistent, utterly annoying. I'm thoroughly bored. You all whine about parents, children, siblings… At least you survived, haven't you?"
