"Kamisato Style: Boundary Flower—"
The Vision of Water Element on Kamisato Ayato's waist glowed with a faint blue light, and the air around them became thick and viscous as if submerged underwater. The elemental power altered the natural environment of the area.
Under the influence of Kamisato Ayaka's ice-elemental power, the thick, watery air was instantly frozen. Doma, who had been fighting back, was turned into a statue of ice in an instant, his menacing expression preserved in frozen form.
**Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle—**
Countless ice-blue sword energies appeared in the air, forming a spherical cage around the ice statue of Doma. The statue was rapidly ground down like shaved ice, turning into countless shards that scattered into the air.
In less than a breath's time, the Upper Moon Two, who had killed 47 Hashira, vanished without a trace.
Shinobu and Kanae watched the scene in awe. Rather than feeling surprised, they felt relieved. After all, like the fox spirits from Takamagahara, they were divine messengers. Eliminating one Upper Moon demon was well within their abilities.
With the Upper Moon Two gone, demons turn into flying ash upon death. The chilling air and lingering frost around them made it seem as if no battle had occurred.
"That was incredible…" Butterfly Shinobu said, unable to hide her admiration.
"Once you become accustomed to the power of the Vision, you will be as formidable as us," Kamisato Ayaka said, slowly sheathing her sword and turning gracefully in the moonlight, like a snow fairy.
"Enough idle talk. Since you have obtained the Vision, follow us to the shrine. Lord Kamisato has something for you," Kamisato Ayato said.
"Understood," the Butterfly sisters nodded.

Kyoto
Infinity Castle
"Dead… The Upper Moon Two is dead! So easily!"
At the moment of Doma's death, Muzan Kibutsuji received the memory of his demise. His already anxious demonic eyes shrank to pinpricks, filled with terror.
"What is that? Those glass orbs that can grant humans demon-like abilities! And humans with the same orbs can effortlessly kill Upper Moon demons!"
Sweat beads the size of beans fell to the ground, and his body trembled uncontrollably.
The vast space was eerily silent, save for the sound of cold sweat dripping to the floor.
Gods! It's truly the gods!
Nothing but divine intervention could explain the existence of something that grants humans such power!
Yes… He could become a demon because of a doctor's drug! So it's not strange for gods to exist.
The gods have favored the demon slayers!
The humans who obtained those glass orbs are even more terrifying than that red-haired man from five hundred years ago!
"Muzan-sama?" The demon named Nakime, who was holding a biwa, spoke up.
Muzan Kibutsuji turned his head, his face covered with twisted blood vessels, his voice filled with dread: "Nakime, close all passages in Infinity Castle. Do not open them without my orders."
"Yes," Nakime responded.
"So what if gods exist? So what if they are more powerful than that red-haired man with the patterns? As long as they cannot find me, they are powerless. Human lifespans are short; a hundred years is not enough, two hundred years isn't enough, five hundred years is still insufficient. If necessary, I will wait a thousand years. Even gods will give up if they cannot find me!"
Muzan Kibutsuji regained his composure and continued his experiments with his blood.
As long as he kept experimenting, even without the Blue Spider Lily, there was always a chance to find a way to overcome sunlight through repeated trials.
In the end, once he became a perfect being, it wouldn't matter if gods were involved.

Ooyama, Mikage Shrine
With the active participation of the shogunate and local aristocrats, the Demon Slayer version of Mikage Shrine was completed in just one day.
"I didn't expect that in less than a day, you two would have already received the Visions."
Yae Miko elegantly enjoyed some fried tofu while watching the two sisters bow deeply to her.
"Since you have acquired the Visions, you should also receive the information from the gods. Eradicate all demons and cleanse the impurities from the world."
After saying this, Yae Miko touched the foreheads of Shinobu and Kanae with her finger, transmitting a wealth of information into their minds.
This was part of the second phase of the "World Devouring Plan" for this demon-slaying world.
The Demon King, whose survival instinct had been proven by the existence of the gods, would undoubtedly go into hiding, hiding away for an indefinite time. During this period, the Demon King would not create any new demons, as doing so would reveal his location.
Therefore, the goal was to let the locals who had obtained the Vision clear out the remaining demons, maximizing the influence of the "Vision System" in this world.
The information transmitted to Shinobu and Kanae was astonishing.
It included detailed information on the locations of Muzan Kibutsuji and the Twelve Kizuki, their abilities, weaknesses, and their past human identities.
The Demon Slayer Corps knew very little about the abilities of the Twelve Kizuki.
With this information, the Corps would definitely have the confidence to eliminate all the Twelve Kizuki within half a month.
"And here's something else for you."
Yae Miko waved her hand lightly, and a pile of paper cranes appeared on the stone table.
"What is this, Lady Kitsune?" Butterfly Kanae blinked in curiosity. Could these be the legendary paper cranes used by immortals to send messages?
"These are tracking paper cranes. Originally, they were just used to find lost individuals in the mountains. I've modified them so they can track the scent of demons within a thousand meters. No matter how well they hide, it won't help. There are a total of fifty."
After giving them the items, Yae Miko stood up, showing a hint of laziness as she waved goodbye to them.
"I've given you everything the gods provided. The rest is up to you. The Kamisato siblings won't be intervening anymore."
"Of course, if you have any other questions, you can ask them. Now, off you go. I won't keep you for a meal."
She had no interest in the weak, man-eating demons. There were far more dangerous creatures in Inazuma that intrigued her. What really interested her was the traditional festivals and street foods that would be held in the town below the mountain tomorrow.
She wanted to savor the unique cuisine of this world.
"If you have any questions, feel free to ask me," Kamisato Ayaka said with a smile. "If you'd like, you can also consider me your friend."
She didn't have true friends in Inazuma; even Thoma, who was more of a benefactor, treated her as a noble lady.
For her, coming to this world without the constraints of Inazuma was more important than the thrill of pretending to be an immortal.
"Really?" Shinobu said in surprise.
"Of course. After all, you are also Vision bearers. We are the same," Kamisato Ayaka said, pointing to the Visions hanging at their waists.
"Well, then, please take care of us in the future," Butterfly Shinobu said, patting her chest.
After bidding farewell to the shrine, Butterfly Shinobu and Butterfly Kanae hurried back to the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters to share this crucial information with all the Corps members.

Teyvat
Celestial Island
Half an hour ago
"Hmm!!! This situation is unprecedented. The demon-slaying world has willingly accepted the 'Vision System.' This is equivalent to handing over half of the world's authority!"
Indra sat on the Heavenly Throne, his legs crossed, smiling that knows everything going according to his plans.
After he bestowed the Visions upon the Butterfly sisters, the demon-slaying world had fully embraced the 'Vision System.'
This was akin to abandoning its own world's cultivation system.
Such an act in the present-day world would be comparable to relinquishing a nation's right to mint its own currency.
