Chapter 189: 189: Flesh Recovery, Self-Division
[Talent Skill: Self-Division]
[Fusion Condition: Muzan Kibutsuji uses this ability in front of the player]
[After fusion, the player can make their body explode and split into countless pieces that scatter at near-sonic speed. Even if the scattered body fragments are destroyed, as long as a single piece survives, the player can fully regenerate through unmatched recovery power.
However, the player's natural healing ability will be suppressed, and the time required for recovery will be proportional to the strength of that healing ability.]
[Talent Ability: Flesh Recovery]
[Fusion Condition: Completely kill Muzan Kibutsuji]
[After fusion, the player's healing ability will be greatly enhanced. Even if an arm is cut off, it will rapidly regenerate. At the same time, the player's blood will contain a special curse. Any living being that has the player's blood in their body will have their flesh and blood collapse and self-destruct within a short time if they mention the player's name or any related information.
However, if the player has not fused with Original Blood Demon Art, they will be unable to use their own blood to transform other living beings.
In addition, the player will no longer have a lifespan limit, and their body will remain in peak condition forever.
Friendly reminder: After fusing this ability, the player will fear sunlight and cannot be directly exposed to it. Unless the player consumes the blue spider lily, this weakness cannot be fixed.]
Inside the wooden coffin, Ivan Greevs calmly scrolled through the information on the panel.
In his opinion, every one of Muzan's talent skills was excellent, especially Flesh Recovery. Not only would it grant endless lifespan, but also extreme regenerative power. Aside from the sunlight weakness, it was basically all advantages. For Muzan, obtaining the blue spider lily was nearly impossible.
For Ivan, it wasn't a problem at all. Even if the blue spider lily didn't bloom this year, he still had another year. Even if it failed to bloom for two years in a row, he could still spend Fantasy Points later to re-enter the Demon Slayer world.
Getting the blue spider lily would be extremely easy for him. He would never end up like Muzan, searching for a thousand years and still finding nothing.
Besides that, Self-Division and Perfect Mimicry were also outstanding abilities.
The first would give him extremely strong escape capability. The second would give him extremely strong concealment ability.
As for Original Blood Demon Art, it was outside the range of what Ivan was willing to fuse. Although Blood Demon Arts were the true essence of demons, that only applied to everyone except Muzan. Muzan's real essence was Flesh Recovery. His Blood Demon Arts weren't even as good as those of the Twelve Kizuki.
More importantly, fusing that ability would change his diet. Ivan discarded it without hesitation.
Even Hannibal still needed vegetables to go with his meat. Eating only meat? Even Uncle Hannibal wouldn't accept that.
While Ivan was browsing the panels..
Outside the coffin, Muzan's face turned dark. He summoned Doma.
The moment Doma opened his mouth to speak, a tentacle shot out from behind Muzan and pierced straight through Doma's head.
The vein-like tentacle madly sucked away Doma's flesh and blood. Under Muzan's control, Doma couldn't move at all. He could only stare as Muzan drained him dry.
His eyes were filled with shock. He had no idea why Muzan was killing him.
Clang! An iron fan carved with lotuses fell to the ground and turned into a pile of ash.
Muzan retracted the tentacle and looked coldly at Kagaya Ubuyashiki. "As you can see, the one who just died was Upper Rank Two, Doma. That should be enough sincerity for you. If you want me to keep killing, hand over the item."
Listening to Muzan's completely emotionless voice, Kagaya froze for several seconds, then shook his head. "You just killed an Upper Rank who stayed by your side for hundreds of years without hesitation. You truly have no human emotions. What exactly do you see them as? Convenient tools?"
"Aren't they?"
Muzan had never taken the Twelve Kizuki seriously. As long as he wanted to, he could create even more of them.
"Fine. As you wish." Kagaya Ubuyashiki struggled to his feet, picked up the wooden box, and slowly opened it under Muzan's burning stare.
The moment the lid lifted, the ground began to shake. A scorching wave of heat erupted from beneath their feet.
Accompanied by a thunderous roar, flames shot into the sky and completely engulfed both of them in an instant. The explosion was like a clap of thunder that shook the heavens. This was a man-made disaster, a catastrophe created by Kagaya Ubuyashiki's own hands.
Just as Kagaya's body was about to be torn apart by the explosives buried beneath the surface, a dark red membrane burst out of the wooden coffin and instantly wrapped around him. The hardness and flexibility of that membrane were something Muzan Kibutsuji could never match.
In the roaring flames, Muzan's outer skin was rapidly destroyed, exposing the blood-red muscle and tendon underneath. Half of his skull had been blown apart. Only one eyeball and half a jaw remained. At this point he no longer looked human. He looked like a grotesque monster.
The intense pain flooding his body made him roar in pure rage. "You dare trick me?!"
Even while furious, a flicker of lingering fear ran through him. If there had been just a little more explosive, he might have actually died.
Right then, a familiar figure appeared in his vision amid the sea of flames.
"It's.. you! ...Ivan!" Muzan bit out each word.
"You were inside that coffin!"
No wonder he hadn't been able to sense the man's presence. He had been hiding inside a completely sealed wooden coffin.
"You're a real idiot. You killed your own subordinates without even checking if the blue spider lily was real. Someone as stupid as you? Even if you flipped this entire world upside down, you'd have a hard time finding a second one." While speaking, Ivan's figure had already appeared right in front of Muzan. He threw a punch that instantly punched straight through Muzan's chest.
"You think this is enough to kill me? Dream on."
The punctured chest writhed and extended layers of flesh, trying to pull Ivan into Muzan's body.
"I'll make you regret ever showing up here!"
Several spiked tentacles burst from Muzan's back like scorpion tails and stabbed hard into Ivan's neck. Muzan's blood contained massive amounts of toxin. It could turn humans into demons, and it could also make human flesh collapse and rot.
Ivan not only didn't stop the needles from entering his body, he actively dropped the defense of his skin and let the blood pour into him without resistance.
"I already told you you're an idiot. You've been thinking I was a demon this whole time, right? You really think your blood is going to work on me?"
Ivan's words made Muzan's pupils shrink. Without the slightest hesitation, his body suddenly swelled up and then exploded like a bomb.
In an instant, thousands of body fragments flew in every direction, trying to escape the center of the blast. At the same time he ordered Nakime to pull him into the Infinity Castle.
But Doma's death made her hesitate.
She was afraid Muzan would kill her the same way he had killed Doma. It wasn't just her. Kokushibo and Akaza, who had been lying in wait nearby, also showed no intention of saving him. Both of them turned expressionlessly and began withdrawing.
"You think you can escape in front of my speed? You really believe you're some immortal, undying existence?!" Ivan's electromagnetic sense locked onto every single piece of Muzan's flesh with perfect precision.
Every time he swung his blade, another fragment of flesh turned to ash. His figure flickered rapidly through the center of the explosion.
Until he finally grabbed the last remaining piece of flesh.
Ivan grinned viciously at the chunk of meat in his hand. Instantly, thorn-like bone spikes erupted and pierced through it. The high temperature radiating from them continuously roasted the writhing flesh. "Someone like you thinks he's worthy of being called a perfect being?"
