"Infinity Castle, The Final Battle Ends"
With twenty minutes until dawn, the Hashira were exhausted, Aoki and Tanjiro Kamado showing significant wear.
Ten minutes until dawn, everyone capable of fighting Muzan Kibutsuji was badly injured, yet they continued their relentless assault.
Two minutes until dawn, Muzan Kibutsuji realized he couldn't kill everyone, so he attempted to escape, but the Demon Slayers frantically blocked his retreat.
One minute until dawn, the sun's outline was visible on the horizon. Muzan Kibutsuji's desperation grew.
With ten seconds to dawn, Muzan Kibutsuji tried to burrow underground, but he was forcibly pulled back.
At dawn, Muzan Kibutsuji, his body transformed into a giant infant, was exposed to the sunlight and disintegrated into dust.
With Muzan Kibutsuji's demise, the exhausted Aoki used his last bit of chakra to activate Kamui, releasing Shinobu Kocho from the Kamui dimension.
In the Kamui dimension, Shinobu Kocho had anxiously waited, knowing her release signaled victory, while continued confinement meant defeat.
After releasing Shinobu Kocho, Aoki's Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan reverted to normal eyes, and he collapsed, falling into Shinobu Kocho's arms.
In his final moments, Muzan Kibutsuji had intended to inject his blood into Aoki or Tanjiro Kamado, but the relentless attacks prevented him from passing on his legacy.
Muzan Kibutsuji was utterly defeated.
As dawn broke, countless people in the ruins embraced, weeping with joy. Few noticed Shinobu Kocho holding Aoki, who had fainted from exhaustion.
Months passed after Muzan Kibutsuji's death. All participants in the final battle, including Aoki, underwent recovery. Aoki's recovery was the longest; his severe injuries and exhaustion kept him unconscious for months, his life force dangerously low at times.
During those months, Shinobu Kocho remained by his side, just as she had during his injuries on the Mugen Train, never leaving his side.
She had only suffered minor lung damage during the Infinity Castle battle and recovered quickly, focusing on Aoki's care and treating other injured Demon Slayers.
Months later, Aoki awoke, bringing the conflict to a true end.
Another significant event occurred: Ubuyashiki Kagaya, the former head of the Demon Slayer Corps, passed away from illness twenty days after Muzan Kibutsuji's defeat, causing immense grief throughout the Corps, especially among the Hashira.
Demon Slayer Corps Headquarters, Head Family Residence
In Ubuyashiki Kiriya's residence, the nine Hashira gathered, including Aoki, who had fully recovered.
"Thank you for coming," Ubuyashiki Kiriya said, addressing the Hashira. "This is our final Hashira meeting."
He listed the Hashira by name: "Aoki, Gyomei, Sanemi, Giyu, Shinobu, Obanai, Mitsuri, Muichiro, Kyōjurō, Tokito."
"I'm immensely grateful that no Hashira were lost, though many others are gone. But we succeeded in killing Muzan Kibutsuji."
"From today, the Demon Slayer Corps is officially disbanded. You are free to go."
After a moment of silence, the Hashira responded in unison, "Understood."
"For your unwavering dedication and sacrifices, the entire Ubuyashiki family expresses our deepest gratitude." Ubuyashiki Kiriya, Ubuyashiki Amane, and the others knelt before the Hashira.
The Hashira declined the Ubuyashiki family's thanks, stating it was their duty, requiring no reward.
The meeting concluded, and the Hashira departed.
A peaceful atmosphere filled the headquarters, except for Aoki's room, which was unusually quiet.
Inside, Aoki and Shinobu Kocho sat in silence, neither speaking.
Shinobu Kocho removed her colorful haori, her sister's final keepsake. She had always worn it, unable to move past the past.
But now, after the final battle and her successful revenge, she had moved on, symbolized by removing the haori.
She then removed her Demon Slayer uniform.
As the camera zoomed out, the room was filled with intimacy.
The next day, Shinobu Kocho awoke, her first sight being Aoki's face beside her.
Honestly, she had never been this close to him before. Remembering last night, her face flushed, but a smile played on her lips.
Gently stroking Aoki's sleeping face, she snuggled into his arms, quickly falling back asleep.
Aoki awoke at noon to find Shinobu Kocho gone.
He dressed and went outside, seeing Shinobu Kocho in a kimono. She looked undeniably beautiful.
Aoki, no longer restrained, simply stared.
"Hmm… I never noticed before, but Shinobu, you have a great figure," Aoki mused, stroking his chin.
"Wh-what are you saying?!" Shinobu Kocho, after a moment of hesitation, blushed and looked away.
Aoki approached and embraced her, his voice tender. "I'm saying, Shinobu, you're incredibly beautiful."
Shinobu Kocho was startled, but before Aoki could act, she gently kissed him.
Then, the system prompt unexpectedly appeared.
"Ding!"
"Congratulations, host, on defeating Muzan Kibutsuji, the strongest boss in the Demon Slayer world! The Multiverse Travel System is now active! Please proceed to the next world!"
Countless worlds appeared in Aoki's mind.
