As Arkhan and the others made their way to the source of the commotion, the surrounding civilians and soldiers quickly withdrew three blocks away, following Siduri's instructions.
In the face of a god, numbers were utterly meaningless.
"Oh my, seems like some extraordinary guests have arrived."
Quetzalcoatl, standing about a hundred meters away from Arkhan and the others, tilted her head sideways as she spoke at them.

After a while, as Siduri came to refill the oil lamps in the throne room, she glanced at the silent Kingu and then at the silent Gilgamesh.
After hesitating for a long while, she eventually spoke up.
"Your Majesty—"
"It's getting late, Siduri. You should go rest." Gilgamesh suddenly interrupted her.
Siduri blinked her eyes, hesitated for a moment, then bowed her head slightly.
"Yes, Your Majesty. Please rest early."
As Gilgamesh waved his hand in response...

Time finally flew to the next day.
"Are you ready?"
Homura asked the group of voice actors before setting off.
"No problem!" Honoka slapped her chest confidently.
"OK! Let's go!"
Nodding, Homura waved to Eriri and the others before setting off.

"Speaking of which, it seems like nobody ambushed Homura-kun last night..." Nozomi said with a grin.
Homura: "..."

"Huft... Huft... Huft..."
Unknowingly, within the unfinished training ground, the myriad flashes of blades and booming echoes had vanished without a trace, leaving only the sound of rapid breaths reverberating through the air.
A group of Hashira, who could maintain a steady breath even in their sleep and had honed their breathing style to the extreme, found themselves unable to control their quickening breaths at this moment.
"Two hours?"
Riezel estimated the time and ...

On the way back to Uruk, Arkhan took a look at the reward he had just received—the Key of Blankness.
It was a set of armor, slightly different from what he had in mind, but its functions were similar. As long as he inserted the Herrscher Core of the Divine Key into it, he could obtain power comparable to a true Herrscher.
However, at the same time, it would impose a huge burden on the wearer's body.
Nevertheless, this burden was still within manageable limits for Arkhan.

"You've landed so many hits on me, isn't it my turn next?"
Saying with a smile, Arkhan unleashed the Black Dragon Body, his body was covered in black scales, a pair of dragon wings sprouted from his back, his eyes turned into icy vertical pupils, his long black hair danced wildly, and he exuded a chilling aura of death.
BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!
Without giving Gorgon any chance to react, he relentlessly pounded her face with one punch after another, the echoing ...

Under Riezel's gaze, all the Hashira quickly decided on their respective opponents.
Kyoujurou and Sanemi were the first to make their choice and formed a group.
As both of them drew their swords swiftly, Sanemi was the first to launch an attack, rushing at Kyoujurou.
Next were Obanai and Mitsuri.
Despite their opposite personalities—one gloomy and indifferent, the other cheerful and lively—the two formed a group faster than anyone else and seemed to get along quite...

"No wonder you didn't wake me up, turns out you've been captured, Kingu."
Goddess of Demonic Beasts, Gorgon, spoke with undisguised disdain as she looked at the captured Kingu behind Arkhan.
"I'm sorry, Mother..." Kingu said dejectedly, their face full of shame as they lowered their head.
Although the figure before them wasn't their true mother, their capture was indeed a fact.
"Hmph!"
Gorgon snorted coldly, no longer paying attention to Kingu, but shifting her g...

Even with Kingu's usual calm composure, they couldn't help but curse.
Why did this black-haired man have so many bizarre weapons?
However, they understood that verbal abuse wouldn't change their current situation. Despite their efforts to escape the gravitational pull, they lacked the strength to break free since their body was burdened with injuries.
In the end, after a brief standoff, Kingu was ultimately captured by the gravity of the Star of Eden an...

Watching this funny scene, Homura hugged Haru, burying his face in her fluffy fur.
Confused, Haru raised her paw and gently tapped Homura's face.
"Meow? (What's wrong?)"
"Little one, it's nothing—pfttt..."
Homura couldn't hold it any longer and burst into muffled laughter on Haru's fur, nearly making her fur stand on end.
After calming down, Homura lifted Haru onto his lap and stroked her fur with a serene face.

In a week's time, even though the training ground for the Demon Slayer Corps had not yet been developed enough for many members to use simultaneously, it was sufficient for a dozen or so people to train together without a problem.
Consequently, Riezel brought a group of Hashira to this place, an open space surrounded by countless trees, with piles of lumber in the corners from recent logging.

As the air rippled like water, numerous golden chains shot out, weaving into a dense net aimed at binding Arkhan tightly.
"Not only have you taken over Enkidu's body, but you've also mastered the Chains of Heaven?"
Arkhan shook his head slightly as he watched the agile, dragon-like golden chains.
"What a pity, you're still not him."

Arkhan snapped his fingers lightly, and several golden chains with golden spear...

A long time ago, Tiamat, the Goddess of Beginning and Earth Mother Goddess in Mesopotamian mythology, was banished to the World of Imaginary Numbers by her own children.
Although she had recently returned to this world through the collapse of the human order foundations and the power of the Holy Grail, fully awakening wasn't an easy task.
As a result, under someone's arrangement, the vengeful Goddess of Demonic Beasts, Gorgon, synchronized her consciousness with Tiamat, allowing t...

With a yell, Tecchin released Hermit's handle he was holding and blew on his burnt palm.

All the swordsmiths immediately gathered around their village chief, blowing on his palm along with him.
A group of burly men wearing masks crowding around a small elderly man, blowing on his hand, looked bizarre no matter how one viewed it.

Arkhan nodded and answered her calmly.
"As I said, among the three goddesses who descended upon Uruk this time, not all of them are our enemies. However, the Goddess of Demonic Beasts is the one we must eliminate. If we let her continue to live, the pressure on the front line will be too great."

All the girls couldn't help but be speechless.

In the next moment, tears flowed uncontrollably from people's eyes.
No one had expected that the rumored selfish and arrogant goddess would be such a kind and loving goddess. When they remembered their previous disrespect toward her, everyone couldn't help but feel intense shame.
Although Ishtar's reputation wasn't good, in reality, very few people had actually seen her with their own eyes. Most people's impressions of her came from rumors circulating in the streets.

Upon hearing Muzan's declaration, Kokushibou, Akaza, and Douma were taken aback.
Unfortunately, Muzan didn't elaborate further.
After all, this was just how the Demon King was, not only cruel and ruthless but also viewing the demons he created as tools to find the Blue Spider Lily and eradicate the Demon Slayer Corps.
He himself lacked human sensibility, a being diametrically opposed to the concept of 'human' both physically and mentally.

It was a very peculiar space.
What made it peculiar was the chaotic arrangement of the buildings, presenting a very eerie layout.
Some were upside down, some were separated from each other, some overlapped like blocks, and some even sat directly on the walls and ceilings, giving one a feeling of entering a dream or a kaleidoscope, very discordant.
No one knew where this was—or rather, those who knew of this place were generally not human.
