In the evening, after Tanjiro and the others returned, a very loud scream rang in Mount Sagiri, came from Urokodaki Sakonji.
After all, the resurrection of Sabito and Makomo was something that would shock anyone, especially since both of them had been devoured by demons.
The next day, they all gathered at the place where Tanjiro had been training before. This time, Sakonji and Nezuko was with them, but Nezuko was still in unconscious state, and they covered her with a black cloth because demons couldn't tolerate direct sunlight.
"Do you think that... being will really appear again?"
Even after asking multiple times the night before, Sakonji was still quite skeptical. Even though his two disciples are alive, he still found it hard to accept.
However, just as he was questioning it, Asahi once again appeared in the darkness.
"He's here! Sir, we've brought Nezuko!"
Sabito promptly spoke. He didn't know who Asahi is, but felt that addressing him as 'sir' seemed appropriate.
"Good!"
Asahi didn't waste time with pleasantries, and immediately waved his hand, then, a beam of light entered Nezuko's body, extracting a small amount of blood from her.
This blood is Muzan's blood, which had been injected into Nezuko's body. Then, Asahi filled it into a small vial.
"This blood is Muzan's body injected into Nezuko's body. I will hand over this blood to you. I've severed the connection between this blood and Kibutsuji Muzan. How to deal with it is up to you. But it's best not to use it indiscriminately. This blood will still turn people into demons, and even if they can't resist the blood, they will die!"
Asahi placed the vial in front of the group and then pointed at the black cloth covering Nezuko, destroying it directly.
Then, the sunlight shone on Nezuko, but there was no problem, showing that she had indeed become a human again. This sight startled the others.
"She's really back. It's really wonderful!"
Tanjiro couldn't help but cry again, which was perfectly understandable, given that he has loss so many of his loved ones.
In fact, Asahi can resurrect their deceased loved ones, but there was no need for that at the moment. He wanted to use this as motivation, to encourage them to defeat Muzan, and the rewards he would provide afterward would likely motivate everyone to give their all in battling Muzan.
"Sir, to have such power, are you a god?"
Sakonji couldn't help but ask, after all, only a god could possess such abilities.
"For you all, I might be considered a god. It seems that you have something to say!"
Looking at Sakonji in front of him, Asahi answered with a smile.
"Lord God, can you resurrect all the people in this world who have been killed by demons?"
Although it might sound greedy, Sakonji still had to ask this question.
"Yes, I can, but why should I grant your request to kill all the demons? For me, it's merely a matter of waving my hand and as long as their souls still exist, I can indeed resurrect everyone, but why should I do it?"
Asahi's question left Sakonji in silence 'That's right, the being before me is a God and has incredible power, so why would he help us? In the end, he is a God, a supreme being, so why would they assist us?'
"I… I understand, I have been impertinent!"
Although Sakonji was wearing a mask, from his voice, it can be seen that he is very depressed now.
"I helped these three because I asked them questions, and their answers pleased me. My actions are entirely based on my preferences."
"Of course, I also hold disdain for Kibutsuji Muzan. So here's the deal, I can help you become stronger, and in return, you must promise to kill Kibutsuji Muzan."
"This is like a game, and it's also a mission. I help you fight against demons, and your responsibility is to slay Kibutsuji Muzan. If you accomplish this, I can resurrect your loved ones, but only those who are truly close to you. As for the rest, you need not concern yourselves with them!"
"I'll give you one month, which should be enough time for you to report this matter. During this month, I will train these guys here, and at the end of the month, you must provide me with an answer: whether or not you'll join this game, a game where lives are the stakes."
After Asahi finished speaking, he instructed Tanjiro and the others to come for training the next day and then departed.
"A game with lives are the stakes? It should be said that as expected of a God. However, I can't make this decision on my own!" Sakonji murmured softly.
After witnessing his disciples being resurrected and demon being turned into human, Sakonji had come to believe that Kanyo was indeed a god. Therefore, he promptly returned with the group.
After returning, he quickly wrote down everything he had experienced and sent it in a letter using the crow, which delivered it to the Demon Slayer Corps Headquarters.
In fact, Kibutsuji Muzan is very stupid. Although Demon Slayer Corps is very cautious, it is not impossible to find their headquarters.
Even without Nakime's later ability, he can still infect the crows to locate the Demon Slayer Corps Headquarters.
Even though Kagaya had some precognitive abilities, they weren't always effective, so finding them was not difficult, but he chose not to do so.
In short, his own actions had turned his trump cards to trash cards.
Pulling the others into the Infinity Castle, which was sealed underground, would have been a better plan. In essence, it was his own recklessness that had led to his demise.
Isn't it better to let the others starve to death in Infinite Castle?
Muzan is indeed cautious, but not entirely so, and his actions are somewhat absurd.
The letter, carried by the crow, reached the Demon Slayer Corps Headquarters in just a few days.
"A letter from Urokodaki Sakonji, the previous Water Hashira at Mount Sagiri? What is written on it?"
Because his eyes have been corroded by the disease, Kagaya is now blind and can only rely on his wife to help him read the contents of the letter.
Subsequently, Amane didn't give it much thought and began reading the letter. However, the further she read, the more absurd it all seemed.
"How is it possible… Things like gods and such…"
Amane was left somewhat speechless. She had initially wanted to refute it, but upon further reflection, she realized that she came from a family of priests. So she decided to keep her thoughts to herself. Moreover, her husband was still suffering from the curse of the god. Denying the existence of gods or deities might not be the best idea.
