[Polu-porupuru, Polu-porupuru]
Suddenly, the sound of the Den-Den Mushi resounded. Crocodile held the cigarette in his mouth, then put the Den-Den Mushi in his palm and lifted the receiver into his shell.
"Hello?"
"The prey has taken the bait, the follow-up plan begins."
"Understood." Without saying more, Crocodile ended the call. He then took out a small piece of white paper from his pocket and placed it in the palm of his hand.
The next moment the paper began to move in a specific direction.
"Are you going to come with me, or stay here?" Crocodile determined the direction and put the paper away while looking down at Biba with his narrowed eyes.
Biba thought briefly and replied: "In this mission, speed of support is crucial. You better go alone."
"Okay, then you are responsible for arranging them."
As soon as he finished speaking, Crocodile transformed into a blast of sand and flew away quickly.
Biba watched the sandstorm disappear into the distance. Behind him, a black tide was slowly spreading. Last time, his world was invaded. This time, he was leading the invasion of another world.
Crocodile caused a huge sandstorm along the road. His arrogance and audacity in his unrestrained advance were due to three reasons.
First, the mission was to get to 'Infinity Castle' as quickly as possible.
Secondly, through the intelligence received, he already knew that the strongest person in this world was Muzan, who is only at the level of a vice admiral at most.
Third, the World Government had decided to reveal its overwhelming strength and subdue this world with its superior military power.
Therefore, he had no need to worry about anything, acting as he pleased.
Along the way, several cities were hit by the sandstorm.
Regarding all this, the Japanese government thought that it was simply a natural disaster and began to organize rescue efforts...
...
Gus and Horobi, accompanied by the Twelve Demon Moons, had just entered the Infinity Castle when they heard a clear and crisp sound, which sounded like the strumming of a string of some musical instrument.
But compared to the sound, the two were shocked by what they saw.
It looked like an old-style Japanese building, lit with lamps and filled with sliding paper doors, glowing lanterns, and long hallways and sloping staircases.
All the rooms, sliding doors, and hallways were in completely disordered directions, positions, and even orientations. One could even see buildings and demon figures hanging upside down from the ceiling.
Gus and Horobi discovered that they didn't need to move on their own. With each new strum of the biwa, they moved continuously, until finally they appeared on a platform.
In the distance, there was a woman with pale skin and black hair, dressed in a black kimono, whose crimson eyes shone with curiosity and excitement.
"My Lord, the targets have been brought." Kokushibo walked over and knelt on one knee to report.
"Well done, the rest of you step aside." The female version of Muzan smirked at Kokushibo.
"Yes!" Soon, the Twelve Demon Moons knelt on one knee and lowered their heads, surrounding Gus and Horobi in the center.
"From now on, answer only my questions, without diverting the topic with your useless will." Muzan said while looking at Gus with an attitude and tone that was undeniably haughty.
At this, Gus simply shrugged without objecting. Now his goal was to buy time, so any verbal exchange was best.
"Answer three questions first. Where are you from, what is Kabane, and why do you want to come to Japan?" Muzan asked coldly.
Gus and Horobi looked at each other. "We are from the World Government, and Kabane is a monster that eats people and drinks blood just like you. As for the purpose of coming here, of course it is to come to you." Gus responded.
"What is the World Government and why do they want to find us?" Muzan had some knowledge of the international situation, but he had never heard of the World Government.
"The World Government is an international organization with more than 170 member countries, and the two of us are members of the 'Nue' team of Cipher Pol, its direct intelligence department."
"We have come to invite you to join the World Government."
Muzan thought that this World Government was an international organization newly formed by numerous countries in the world.
"So besides you Kabane and us demons, are there any other monsters in the world?"
At this question, Gus gave a smile that was hidden behind his black mask. "Of course!"
"The giants that are tens of meters tall, the fish-men that can control the flow of water, the minks that are like humanoid animals and can release electric currents, the Tontatta that are a group of dwarves, etc."
"You and we have never been alone. There are countless strange creatures in this world."
Gus's words caused a great impact on Muzan and the Twelve Demon Moons.
"Is this what the outside world is like..."
Muzan had not left Japan in his nearly thousand-year life, and his knowledge of the outside world was based on newspaper articles from the past few decades.
"If that's the case, I can give you the answer now. I refuse. From now on, you will not be allowed to set foot in Japan again, because this is my territory!"
"As expected..." Gus was not at all surprised by Muzan's response. The information he had indicated that this 'Demon King' seemed very domineering, but in reality he was a coward. Although he was curious, he was not interested in experiencing new things and the magnitude of the World Government made him feel threatened, generating clear resistance.
"That is not possible. No one can stop the World Government. Soon, our main forces will invade this place en masse. Even if you don't want to, you will have to face them."
"I suggest you prepare yourself psychologically while you still have time." Gus adopted an attitude of sincere warning.
But this also aroused Muzan's anger, and there was a strong killing intent in his eyes when he looked at them.
"In that case, you deserve death. If that 'great army' of the World Government dares to enter Japan, I will exterminate all of you. And I will start with you two..."
"Kill these intruders!"
Muzan gave the order ruthlessly, causing the Eleven Demon Moons on both sides to act without hesitation. The fastest was naturally Kokushibo.
In an instant, he disappeared from his spot.
Suddenly, a multitude of bright yellow moons, accompanied by three swift curved slashes of silver wind, headed towards Gus and Horobi.
"Second Form: Pearl Flower Moongazing!"
"Rankyaku!" Gus snorted coldly when he saw this, raised his leg and threw out a bright blue crescent-shaped vacuum slash.
His attack was more powerful and cut off the three gusts of wind instantly and continued towards Kokushibo.
At the same time, the other Upper Rank Twelve Kizuki's attacks also headed towards them from all directions.
"Wintry Icicles!"
"Air Type!"
"Thousand Needle Fish Kill!"
Only Hantengu, due to his special nature, simply crawled cowardly, with a fearful look and did not want to join the battle but did not dare to disobey Muzan's orders.
As for the Lower Ranks, their reactions were slower and they could only surround the area, ready to act if an opportunity arose.
A large number of sharp icicles fell from the air and two floating demon fish spit out dense poisonous needles.
Gus and Horobi easily dodged those two waves of fierce long-range attacks.
However, when Akaza's shockwaves headed towards them, Horobi had to use the black blade on his right arm to block them. She looked at her opponent in surprise, noticing a bright blue snowflake pattern under his feet.
"Compass Needle!"
Akaza maintained his martial stance with his right arm extended and palm facing outward, his left fist next to his waist, and his legs firmly planted.
"Horobi, don't hold back, fight with all your might!" shouted Gus, who was engaged in a fierce battle against Kokushibo and Doma.
"Understood!" Immediately, Horobi raised her left hand and shot a black thread from her palm, which stuck to the ceiling of the inverted corridor above them. Using the thread to propel herself upwards, she dodged a series of attacks and, in the process, shot a ball of purple-blue energy from her mouth towards Akaza.
The energy ball destroyed the wooden platform and caused a chain of destruction in the corridors, rooms, and stairs below.
Several flashes moved quickly between the buildings, all directed towards Horobi. They were the Lower Rank Twelve Kizuki.
Enmu jumped into the air and, less than ten meters away from Horobi, pointed with his right hand, which had a mouth in the palm.
Before he could make another move, a black and blue flash tore through Enmu like lightning, cutting his head, limbs, and torso into pieces, spilling thick, smelly blood.
Immediately after, Horobi released black threads in the form of a net that wrapped around Enmu's remains, hardening them into a black cocoon as hard as steel.
This scene terrified the other Lower Rank Twelve Kizuki. They could not believe that the Lower Rank One had been defeated so easily.
