Giyu Tomioka remained silent for a moment before finally asking, "Why are you doing this?"
Sol looked into the distance, his expression calm but unreadable. "Because I want to change the world I live in."
That answer left everyone stunned.
Shinobu Kocho stared at him. "What do you mean, you want to change the world you live in?"
Sol's gaze moved across the group, a faint smile forming on his lips. "You all know I come from another world. In that world, there are people hundreds, even thousands of times stronger than demons. I need to build a powerful force if I want to change anything."
He stood up and walked beneath the cherry blossom tree. "Your world is only the beginning for me. I need to build a loyal team here, one that can support me when the time comes."
Giyu tightened his grip on his Nichirin blade. "So you turned Muzan and the demons into your subordinates?"
"You could say that." Sol turned back to face them. "But I gave them a better choice. They no longer need to rely on eating humans to survive, and they can walk freely in the sunlight."
Gyomei Himejima pressed his palms together. "Amitabha… that truly is a great blessing."
Silence filled the courtyard for a moment. Shinobu gently touched the butterfly ornament at her waist before speaking again. "If I join you, can you really revive my sister?"
"I guarantee it," Sol replied without hesitation. "As soon as I return from the other world, I will fulfill your wish."
Giyu looked up, hope flickering in his eyes. "Including Sabito and my sister?"
"Of course."
Kyojuro Rengoku suddenly stood up. "I will join! I trust you, Sol!"
Shinobu and Giyu exchanged a glance before slowly nodding. Gyomei, his face wet with tears, followed shortly after. "If it will save more people, I am willing."
Sol smiled, clearly satisfied. "Good. From now on, you are the core members of the new Demon Slayer Corps. Your duty is to supervise the behavior of all demons."
At that moment, Muzan stepped forward respectfully. "Lord Ancestor, what about the members of the Demon Slayer Corps who refuse to join?"
Sol waved his hand casually. "Leave them alone. As long as they do not interfere with my plans, I will not act against them. They might even choose to join later."
Shinobu exhaled softly. "Thank you."
"Don't thank me," Sol said as he looked toward Mount Fuji in the distance. "We are all chasing our own goals."
Over the next two days, Sol carefully arranged everything for the future. The new Demon Slayer Corps would be led by Gyomei Himejima as captain, while Giyu Tomioka and Kyojuro Rengoku would serve as vice captains. Their task would be to monitor the behavior of all demons during Sol's absence.
Soon after, the Emperor officially announced the formation of a special public security force, with Doma as its commander. His role would be to eliminate any demons that disobeyed the new rules.
Early one morning, Sol stood at the highest point of the Imperial Palace. Muzan and the Upper Rank demons stood respectfully behind him.
"All three thousand travel points are ready. It's time to leave."
He glanced back. "Is everything prepared?"
Muzan immediately dropped to one knee. "Everything is ready, Lord Ancestor."
Sol nodded, then turned toward Shinobu and the others nearby. "Remember our agreement. While I am gone, supervise these demons properly."
Shinobu nodded solemnly. "We will not disappoint you."
Sol gave a faint smile and raised his hand. A portal from the Infinity Castle opened instantly and swallowed Muzan together with the Upper Ranks.
"Wait for my return."
Those were the last words he spoke before stepping into the Infinity Castle.
Shinobu stood silently on the palace roof, staring at the empty sky. A complicated emotion flickered in her eyes.
"Sol… please return safely."
Inside the Infinity Castle, Sol stood on a high platform, looking down at Muzan and the Upper Ranks kneeling before him. Black and red bio-armor slowly covered his body, and his crimson eyes shone faintly in the darkness.
"Listen carefully," he said in a low voice. "When we arrive in the new world, the moment I release the Infinity Castle, you will hide immediately."
Muzan pressed his forehead to the ground. "Rest assured, Lord Ancestor. We will follow your orders without hesitation."
"That world is far more dangerous than this one," Sol continued as he walked slowly down the steps. "Any strong person there could crush you without effort."
Kokushibo's six eyes narrowed at the same time. "Then we should…"
"That is why you will hide first," Sol interrupted calmly. "Once I deal with the problems there, I will summon you again."
He stopped in front of Muzan. "Do not cause trouble in the new world. When I call you, I expect all of you to have grown stronger."
Muzan looked up, fear clearly visible in his eyes. "We will not disappoint you, Lord Ancestor."
"I hope so."
Sol returned to the center of the platform and raised his arm. A system panel appeared in front of him. Without hesitation, he selected the option to cross over.
His body slowly began to fade, turning into countless particles of light that scattered through the Infinity Castle as if he had never existed at all.
"Lord Ancestor! We have not crossed over yet!"
Just as Muzan and the others cried out in panic, the scattered light particles suddenly surged back together. In the next moment, Sol's body reformed completely.
A new message appeared in front of him.
Do you wish to spend three thousand travel points to purchase the Demon Slayer world? Without purchase, the world will continue to operate with a normal time flow. After purchase, you will be able to freely adjust time and return to any point.
Sol did not confirm immediately. Instead, he glanced around at Muzan and the other demons still inside the Infinity Castle, and a small smile appeared on his lips. His guess had been correct. Crossing over from within the Infinity Castle allowed him to take everything inside with him.
He looked at them again, his expression turning serious. "Once the Infinity Castle is released, run immediately. Do not hesitate. The upcoming battle is not something you can interfere with. Do you understand?"
Muzan and the others nodded repeatedly, their eyes filled with fear and respect.
"Good. Prepare to escape."
Black and red armor instantly covered Sol's body again. Before Muzan and the others could even understand what was happening, they were teleported away.
