[But [God] is different, or rather, [God] and the [followers] who believe in Him are different from us outcasts. They can leverage [faith] to pry open [natural authority], thus mobilizing "natural force" to aid themselves in battle]
[On the eighth day of landing on the Dark Continent, I once infiltrated the Samir Duchy, who worship [Storm], and had the fortunate opportunity to witness how the followers of [Storm] fought....]
[They internally differentiate into various [professions], structured like a pyramid. Through consuming... [holy water] made with materials from magical beasts that coincide with nature, paired with faith, they pry open [natural authority] and gain [divine power], which is several times stronger than Nen users of the same level who have not consumed [holy water]...]
[To further discuss [natural authority]... for those [professionals] who have already consumed [holy water], they can often enhance themselves with [natural authority] in two ways...]
[Firstly, directly mobilizing [natural force] to attack others. I've seen a [Storm] affiliated Emission Nen user accelerate the shooting of a "Nen Bullet" by calling upon [wind]...]
[Secondly, integrating [natural force] into themselves. For instance, an Emission Nen user can also consume [wind] to temporarily increase their "Sense", thereby enhancing their "Nen output"....]
[Due to being isolated from the Dark Continent for too long, most of us follow the second method passively, in other words... some well-known Nen users, lacking information, have passively consumed "fame" or "faith", explaining why their strength far exceeds others....]
"Munch... munch..." Roy ate his burger, engrossed, thinking about [natural authority], and a phrase popped into his mind... battling against the heavens, endlessly enjoyable!
Leveraging faith, using "magical beasts most aligned with a part of natural authority" as a medium, to pry open "natural authority"... perhaps this is the true nature of [God]!
So... 'Why did great-grandfather specifically instruct me to read this page?'
Roy saw the end of the page...[Thus, after knowing all this, I suddenly realized, only [God] can challenge [God]. Since [Storm] can become [God] through faith, why can't I?]
[He pries natural authority, I pry His authority. We are all thieves, so why chase after me?]
[I refuse!!!]
Alright... Roy instantly realized why he was targeted by the [unknown existence]... turns out Grandpa Jager caused chaos in their divine realm; who could tolerate that?
Some fruit farmer was indeed sincere, [Conjuration] indeed has... a major illness!
One page finished, Roy almost choked on a bite of burger, grabbed the milk, gulped a mouthful, and exhaled lightly, momentarily not knowing what to say...
Wutong timely handed over a tissue. Roy took it, closed the book, leisurely wiped his mouth, leaned his back against the chair, and stared out at the night, already understanding... what Maha meant.
The old man was telling him the origin of the [curse], and... how to fight against the [curse], which is....
Using Grandpa Jager's words——
[Only [God] can challenge [God]]
'Henceforth, I also need to develop followers, build my divine realm, establish a "monotheistic" nation!'
Worship what?
The young man slightly raised his chin, gazing at the high-suspended full moon, just waiting for night to pass and for the red sun to leap out, with a smile on his lips, he had the answer...
"Creak~" After dinner, Wutong pushed the dining cart, helped Roy close the room door.
"Gao~" The Golden Crow spread its wings, after Roy regained some Nen, it followed by feasting on a "beef burger", its round belly sticking out, flapping its wings, flopped onto the soft bed, panting while clutching its belly... all serving as reminders for Roy to get ready for bed...
"Dang~" The wooden clock in the corner chimed the hour's sound...
Roy rubbed his temples, recalling Tomioka Giyu sent Kasugai Crow to summon him for a meeting, briefly washed up, flipped into bed, immediately fell asleep... planning first to recuperate in the world of cognition, once spirit is restored, then go.
Soon, the young man fell into slumber.
As always,
Through the multi-colored dream corridor, to the familiar Sea of Cognition,
Bare-chested, removing shoes and socks, swam freely in the Sea of Cognition for an hour, bringing spirit to its peak, then dressed up, reaching out, and pushed open "Demon Slayer"'s grand door.
The familiar sensation of falling washed over...
[Hint: "Life Energy" +2+3+2+2...]
Roy returned to Demon Slayer, slowly following Kasugai Crow, dealing with several Evil Ghosts along the way, arriving at a valley covered in blooming wisteria.
The valley wasn't large, even deemed very small... unknown by name... in the original work, the specific name was never mentioned. Nearing, as Kasugai Crow fluttered in, a figure appeared in the entrance's sturdy wisteria tree.
He partly concealed his face, dressed in Demon Slayer Corps uniform, wore a black hood on his head, had a black and white mask on his face, squatting on the tree as if waiting for a long time... from afar he saw an approaching young man, short blade hung at his waist, clad in white, his fiery red hair swaying in the wind, ear ornaments depicting sun, moon, and mountains, advancing slowly.
Immediately he took out a scroll from his bosom, opened it, compared it, then jumped down the tree, and walked quickly to greet.
"Demon Slayer Corps [In], at the behest of the Lord, welcoming Lord Kamado Eiichiro!"
'In'... should be the department within Demon Slayer Corps specifically responsible for handling post-operations logistics...
"Hm." Roy smiled and nodded at him: "Let's go."
As swamp appeared underfoot, Roy descended underground, upon reappearing, he found himself amid the wisteria fields...
"This..." Muraoka Kenya opened his mouth wide, stunned in place for a long time, hastily shouted: "Lord Eiichiro, slow down... without my guidance, you won't find the Lord's mansion!"
However, the young man twisted and turned, each reappearance always stood at the correct fork... seemingly more familiar with the route than him, the very "office agent" responsible for external liaison for the Ubuyashiki Clan... bizarre indeed!
[En]: Able to capture others' positions through "Sense"... [Hashira] and [Evil Ghost] alike, the stronger they are, the denser the "Sense" they emit...
Within mere breaths, swamps emerged from a secluded courtyard outside....
The young man appeared, followed by the panting, relentless Muraoka Kenya, lifted his gaze towards the front... above the courtyard floated dozens of differently colored "Sense"...
There was the serene "white"... the lively "pink"... the sly "black"... the restless "red"... the innocent "gray"... the gentle "green", a medley of colors, quite spectacular, yet... except for a few, were uniformly tinged with a bit of "doubtful" "blue"...
Evidently curious and puzzled about Ubuyashiki Kagaya convening the Hashira Alliance Meeting, inviting non-Hashira... were both intrigued and curious....
"Huff... huff....." Muraoka Kenya finally caught up, shouting hoarsely: "Lord Kamado Eiichiro has arrived!"
"Creak~" The double doors opened... dozens of gazes instantaneously focused on....
The young man with a faint smile at the corner of his mouth stepped out, a swamp appeared underfoot, upon reappearing, hand wielding a shortsword, already in the courtyard, eyes landed upon the Hashira, except for Tomioka Giyu and Gyomei Himejima...
Flame Hashira·Kyojuro Rengoku... Sound Hashira·Tengen Uzui... Mist Hashira·Tokitou Muichirou... Love Hashira·Mitsuri Kanroji... Serpent Hashira·Izuki Kobane... Wind Hashira·Shinazugawa Sanemi, and... Insect Hashira·Kochou Shinobu...
"He's so handsome!" A pair of bright green eyes reflected Roy abruptly emerging from the ground, Love Hashira blurted out.
Soon after, Roy sensed a hostile gaze locking onto him... from Izuki Kobane perched on a pine tree in the courtyard!
