Giyu Tomioka was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Why are you doing this?"
Allen's gaze drifted into the distance: "Because I want to change the world I live in."
This answer stunned everyone.
Shinobu Kocho stared intently at Allen: "What do you mean, you want to change the world you live in?"
Allen's gaze swept over the crowd, a slight smile playing on his lips: "You should all know that I come from another world, where there are people hundreds, even thousands or tens of thousands of times stronger than demons. I need to establish a powerful force to change the world."
Allen stood up and walked under the cherry blossom tree: "Your world is just a starting point for me. I need to build a loyal team here to be my support."
Giyu Tomioka gripped his nichirin blade: "So you turned Muzan and his demons into your subordinates?"
"You could say that." Allen turned to face everyone: "But I gave them a better choice—they no longer need to rely on eating people to sustain their lives, and they can walk freely in the sunlight."
Gyomei Himejima clasped his hands together: "Amitābha... this is indeed a great blessing."
A brief silence fell over the courtyard. Shinobu Kocho's fingers gently brushed the butterfly hair ornament at her waist: "If I join, can you really revive my sister?"
"I guarantee it." Allen's voice was firm: "As soon as I return from the other world, I will be able to fulfill your wishes."
Giyu Tomioka looked up, a glimmer of hope in his eyes: "Including Sabito and my sister?"
"Of course."
Kyojuro Rengoku suddenly stood up: "I'll join! I believe in Mr. Allen!"
Shinobu Kocho and Giyu Tomioka exchanged glances, then slowly nodded. Gyomei Himejima, with tears in his eyes, said, "If it can save more people, I am willing."
Allen smiled with satisfaction: "Very good. From now on, you are the core members of the new Demon Slayer Corps, responsible for supervising the behavior of all demons."
Just then, Muzan stepped forward: "Lord Ancestor, regarding those Demon Slayer Corps members who are unwilling to join..."
Allen waved his hand: "Let them be. As long as they don't interfere with my plan, I won't act against them. Perhaps they might even join my forces."
Shinobu Kocho breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you."
"Don't thank me." Allen turned to look at Mount Fuji in the distance: "We are all striving for our respective goals."
Over the next two days, Allen laid out his future plans. The new Demon Slayer Corps would be led by Gyomei Himejima as Captain, with Giyu Tomioka and Kyojuro Rengoku as Vice Captains. They would be responsible for supervising the behavior of all demons during Allen's absence.
Emperor Yoshihito also officially announced the establishment of a special public security force, with Douma as its commander, responsible for eradicating disobedient Man-eating Demons nationwide.
In the early morning, Allen stood at the highest point of the imperial palace. Muzan and the Upper Ranks stood respectfully behind him.
"All three thousand Crossing value (travel points) have been maxed out. It's time to leave here first."
"Is everything ready?" Allen asked.
Muzan knelt on one knee: "Everything is ready, Lord Ancestor."
Allen nodded, then turned to Shinobu Kocho and the others standing nearby: "Remember our agreement. While I'm gone, you must supervise these demons well."
Shinobu Kocho nodded solemnly: "We won't disappoint you."
Allen smiled slightly, then raised his hand. The Infinity Castle's portal swallowed Muzan and the Upper Ranks.
"Wait for my return." These were Allen's last words before entering the Infinity Castle.
Shinobu Kocho gazed at the empty palace roof, a complex emotion flashing in her wisteria-like eyes.
"Mr. Allen, please be sure to return safely..."
Inside the Infinity Castle, Allen stood on a high platform, looking down at Muzan and the Upper Ranks prostrating on the ground. Black and red bio-armor silently covered his entire body, and his crimson eyes gleamed with dangerous light in the dim space.
"Remember," Allen's voice was low and cold, "when you arrive in the new world, the first thing you must do the moment I release the Infinity Castle is to hide."
Muzan's forehead was pressed to the ground: "Rest assured, Lord Ancestor, we will strictly follow your teachings."
"That world is much more dangerous than this one." Allen slowly walked down the steps.
"Any strong person there could easily crush you."
Kokushibo's six eyes all contracted simultaneously: "Lord Ancestor, then we..."
"That's why I'm having you hide first." Allen stopped in front of Muzan: "Once I deal with the troubles there, I will naturally summon you."
Allen nodded with satisfaction: "Remember, do not cause trouble in the new world. When I summon you, I hope you will all have made your own gains."
Muzan looked up, a hint of fear in his eyes: "Lord Ancestor, we will not disappoint you!"
"I hope so." Allen turned and walked to the center of the high platform: "Now, prepare to cross over."
He raised his arm, and the system panel opened before his eyes. He clicked 'Cross Over.'
Allen's body gradually became transparent, eventually transforming into countless light particles of varying sizes that dissipated within the Infinity Castle, as if he had never been there, never appeared.
"Lord Ancestor! We haven't crossed over yet!" Just as Muzan and the others cried out in panic,
countless light particles of various sizes and colors surged out from within the Infinity Castle again. As the light particles converged, Allen's body slowly reappeared.
"Do you wish to spend three thousand Crossing value (travel points) to purchase the Demon Slayer World? While not purchased, the Demon Slayer World will operate at a 1:1 time flow rate. After purchase, you can manually adjust the time flow rate and cross over to any time node."
Allen did not rush to confirm, but looked around. He saw Muzan and his demons still in the Infinity Castle, and a smile involuntarily appeared on his lips. It seemed his guess was correct: crossing over within the Infinity Castle allowed him to bring the creatures inside with him.
Allen looked at Muzan and his demons, his expression serious: "Once the Infinity Castle is released, you must run immediately. Do not linger. The upcoming battle is not something you can interfere with, do you understand?"
Muzan and the others nodded repeatedly, their eyes filled with reverence.
"Good, prepare to escape." Allen's body was instantly covered in black and red armor. Before Muzan and his demons could figure out what it was, they were already teleported out... Here is the protagonist's current template.
