Orochimaru, hunted by Konoha and the Navy, never expected to encounter such high-quality experimental material in Gran Forest.
Without a Life Lock, dying would result in random drops of equipment, skills, or even bloodlines.
He originally intended to ignore the other party.
However, the abilities Muzan Kibutsuji displayed sparked Orochimaru's hunting instinct.
"Lukas destroyed too many of my high-level undead. It's a pity that players can't truly kill each other, otherwise I'd really like to add you directly to my undead army."
Orochimaru felt regret.
However, even if he couldn't kill him, he could still use him for research.
"Arrogant, seeking death."
Muzan Kibutsuji was a man of few words.
Having held a high position for so long, he maintained an absolutely arrogant demeanor even when facing the Upper Ranks, causing him to refuse to back down even after realizing Orochimaru was not simple.
Black Blood Thorns!
His skin tore, and countless streams of blood gushed out from his body, twisting into iron-wire-like thorns that lunged at the unsuspecting Orochimaru.
"Can he even control his blood independently? This is getting more and more interesting."
Orochimaru stood still.
The iron-wire thorns directly shredded him, and his body, broken into several pieces, fell to the ground.
"Hmph, weak human."
Muzan Kibutsuji's expression was disdainful. He straightened his suit and turned to leave.
In the Demon Slayer World, there were no humans or demons who dared to provoke him.
He never expected such a reckless existence in the Reincarnation Game.
The next second,
A faint voice came from behind him, saying, "So that's it. It sounds like you're not human. Can you tell me your race?"
Pfft.
With the touch of gelatinous skin, a Ghoul's arm pierced through Muzan Kibutsuji's chest.
Orochimaru's eyes held both confusion and surprise.
The confusion was because when his arm penetrated the opponent's chest, the Necromancer aura had already been released.
The Necromancer aura, spread throughout the opponent's body, fed back to him.
The opponent seemed to possess multiple hearts and brains, truly a peculiar creature.
Moreover,
From the brief contact, he had already determined that the opponent seemed to be a new player who had not undergone any enhancements.
In other words, the Muzan Kibutsuji before him was a non-human player from an Otherworld.
And not those human players who had exchanged for alternative bloodlines.
"Not dead, how is that possible?"
Muzan Kibutsuji's eyes were filled with horror.
He looked down at his pierced body, feeling as if he were dreaming.
He was a nearly perfect being.
The moment the iron-wire thorns, twisted from his blood, pierced the opponent's skin, he should have detected the opponent's life fluctuations.
He should have been completely dead.
How could he still be alive? What kind of thing was the opponent?
"Surprised? I am a Necromancer, and I also have the Ghoul bloodline. Strictly speaking, I've been dead for a long time."
Orochimaru extended his other arm and directly crushed one of Muzan Kibutsuji's heads.
There are many types of Ghouls, from the lowest level scavengers, undead who control dark energy, bloodline Ghouls, and even rarer Ghoul Kings.
They all share a common characteristic: death.
Therefore,
Trying to sense life from a Ghoul is a very foolish thing to do.
"Ghoul?"
Muzan Kibutsuji struggled, wanting to escape,
But he was firmly pinned to the ground by two gray-black bone spears, and the Necromancer aura continuously corroded his body.
"A type of undead from legends, feeding on corpses and demonic creatures."
Orochimaru was happy to explain the confusion to him,
Just as in his original destiny, he was willing to help Sasuke grow and agreed to Sasuke's request to kill Uchiha Itachi.
Mutual exchange, each taking what they needed.
Every life has its own meaning, not a meaningless disappearance.
"Demon-eater?"
A low growl emanated from deep within Muzan Kibutsuji's throat.
All the hairs on his body stood on end.
The opponent's ability was very strange, and he couldn't determine if he could win.
Especially upon hearing that the opponent could eat demons,
He didn't even consider the possibility of the opponent lying and immediately prepared to activate his most powerful ability, Self-Splitting.
Even Yoriichi Tsugikuni, who mastered Sun Breathing, couldn't kill him with this move.
Splitting into one thousand eight hundred fragments,
As long as even one fragment remained, he could fully recover using his own regeneration ability.
This was his strongest life-saving method!
"What a chaotic Otherworld, there are even monsters that eat demons. Damn it, once I become a truly perfect being, I'll definitely make you pay for this in blood!"
Muzan Kibutsuji was furious inside,
But more than that, he was terrified.
After Yoriichi Tsugikuni's death, he hadn't felt the fear of near-death for nearly a thousand years.
Even though Hantengu told him that he wouldn't die in the Reincarnation Game, he wasn't willing to take the risk without seeing it with his own eyes and having concrete evidence.
He would escape if he could.
A crack appeared on Muzan Kibutsuji's face, rapidly spreading.
His entire body was about to turn into fragments and escape.
Suddenly,
Orochimaru smiled and said, "Splitting? I advise you not to do that."
The Necromancer aura suddenly erupted.
White bone skeletons, flesh-rotted scavenger dogs, blue-winged bone dragons circling in the sky, vengeful spirits—
Thousands of figures instantly surrounded them.
"What's going on?"
Muzan Kibutsuji froze in place.
His body, which was about to self-destruct, and the splitting fragments, abruptly stopped.
He could feel it.
The strange fluctuations emanating from those undead creatures, like seeing prey, greedily surrounded him.
Once he self-destructed,
They would swarm in frantically and devour all the fragments.
His limit was one thousand eight hundred fragments,
Which wasn't even enough for each of these undead creatures to have one fragment.
Gulp.
Muzan Kibutsuji swallowed, but then remembered Hantengu's words about resurrection, gritting his teeth and preparing to continue self-destructing.
With his mind control ability,
Hantengu shouldn't dare to betray him. Since he said he could revive, then it should be correct.
"You haven't bought a Life Lock yet, have you?"
Orochimaru smiled eerily, as if reminding him, "If you die, the Reincarnation Game will randomly deduct one of your abilities."
Deduct an ability?
Muzan Kibutsuji's mind went blank. He didn't seem to recall Hantengu mentioning that?
When reading memories, he vaguely read about the Life Lock,
But most of his attention was focused on the Reincarnation Game's Store, so he overlooked some basic rules.
And at that time, Hantengu, who logged into the Reincarnation Game,
Wasn't as unlucky as Muzan Kibutsuji.
He was already skilled at stealth and disguise, so he quickly blended into a town and purchased a Life Lock. He wasn't penalized for dying.
So he didn't emphasize this aspect of the information.
"Damn Hantengu, how dare he conceal such important information!"
Muzan Kibutsuji's eyes were filled with horror.
If dying really deducted abilities, he absolutely couldn't die.
Everything he had,
Was because of his mutated body. If it was just deducting Blood Demon Art or something else, it would be fine.
But once this body was deducted by the Reincarnation Game,
He would become an ordinary human.
At that time,
If all the demons with his blood also died as a result, it would be fine. He could still secretly hide elsewhere and rise again.
But if only he became human, and those demons were unaffected,
Once he returned to reality,
The moment he appeared in Infinity Castle, he would be killed by Nakime.
On this point,
Muzan Kibutsuji was very self-aware.
He absolutely did not trust the loyalty of his subordinates. All his confidence was maintained under the condition that he could control the life and death of other demons.
