As Kanji ventured into the demon realm, the creatures there recognized him immediately. Years ago, he had left a trail of death and destruction, annihilating vast numbers of demons. As a result, the remaining demons trembled at his mere presence. Fear and terror gripped their hearts, for he had not only slaughtered billions but had also battled against hundreds of gods and trillions of angels in battle.
He was an unparalleled and feared figure in both the demon realm and beyond.
Kanji made his way to the demon castle, intent on meeting the new Queen of the hell realm. The very aura of intimidation that surrounded him caused the demons to cower. They knew better than to dare challenge his passage.
Upon hearing the news of his arrival, Alice, the Queen of the hell realm, immediately took notice. Her eyes widened momentarily, and a mix of surprise and caution flickered across her face. She had heard tales of Kanji's exploits and his fearsome reputation.
Kanji entered the castle, his presence filling the air with an aura of power and authority. The guards and attendants, awed and intimidated, quickly stepped aside, giving him a wide berth as he made his way towards Alice.
Alice, seated on her throne, her expression a mix of curiosity and caution, greeted him. "You must be the infamous Kanji," she said, her voice cool and measured. "What brings you to my realm?"
Kanji's voice was clear and steady as he addressed Alice's question. "I have come here for the pill of immortality and life span," he replied. "The one that is produced once in a century."
Alice's surprise and shock were evident. The request was far from ordinary, and she couldn't help but wonder why someone from the Naein Clan, who already had an immortal lifespan, would seek such a rare item. Her curiosity piqued, she pondered the motive behind his request.
"The pill of immortality and extended lifespan is a rare and coveted item," Alice noted, her gaze scrutinizing Kanji. "But I'm curious, why would a member of the Naein Clan, who already possesses an immortal lifespan, seek it?"
Alice, her voice laced with confusion, responded, "Well, you're aware of the legend, correct? Members of the Naein Clan are blessed with an immortal lifespan, transcending the limits of other clans. Why would your clan need an item that grants what they already possess?"
An attendant of Alice discreetly leaned over to whisper in her ear. The attendant shared a revelation. "Excuse me, milady," the attendant began, "I have some news. It seems that years ago, in a war, Kanji has defeated and killed his own father, the former chief of the Naein Clan, in a duel. He was then disowned by his own clan."
Alice gasped, her eyes widening at the revelation. She glanced back at Kanji, suddenly understanding the complexity behind his request. It appeared that his situation was not as straightforward as she had initially thought.
Kanji, his voice cold and detached, responded to Alice's surprise. "I don't care about the past," he stated bluntly. "I'm just here to take the pill. Anyone who gets in my way will face the same fate."
The attendant once again leaned in to whisper in Alice's ear, this time sharing information about the presence of a Unique God known as Helix. He revealed that Helix was sent by the Omni God himself to seal away Kanji in the Blood Garden within the hell realm, where the elusive immortality lifespan pill is produced.
Alice's expression grew more serious as she absorbed this new information.
"Helix, you say," Alice muttered aloud, her eyes narrowing in thought. "A Unique God sent by the Omni God himself to seal away Kanji...
"And he's here in the Blood Garden, the place where the immortality lifespan pill is produced. This adds a whole new layer of complexity to the situation."
Alice quickly realized that Kanji was already gone. In his place, only a slight disturbance in the air remained, hinting at his departure. She cursed under her breath, realizing she had lost sight of him in a moment of distraction.
Alice turned to her attendant with a concerned expression and asked, "If we were to engage in a fight with Kanji, what do you think would happen?"
The attendant, aware of Kanji's power and reputation, responded warily, "Milady, based on the rumors and tales surrounding Kanji, a direct confrontation would be dangerous and risky. He is a formidable opponent."
Alice, contemplating the potential consequences, inquired further, "What if either Helix or Kanji were to meet their demise? Would it have any significant consequences?"
The attendant thought for a moment before replying, "Milady, it is difficult to predict the exact consequences. Both Helix and Kanji are powerful beings, and their existence probably holds some balance in the world. If either one were to perish, it could potentially lead to unforeseen changes or disruptions in the equilibrium."
