Chereads / Crimson Monarch: The Rise of Muzan Kibutsuji / Chapter 8 - Accumulating Strength

Chapter 8 - Accumulating Strength

Ethan's Thought's:

With the Demon Slayer's defeated and my enemies on the brink of annihilation

it was time to shift focus,we couldn't remain exposed any longer. It was time to build,no create a city for demons. A hidden stronghold where my empire could thrive. 

Sometimes i envy how fortunate the original Muzan was to have the Infinity Castle at his disposal. Yet even with that marvel he squandered its potential. What a fool he was but unlike him i will not repeat the mistakes of the past. 

The first step to my plan of world domination is to delve deeper into this world's power system. The memories i consumed from the Demon Slayer's provided me with invaluable insight.

I can create my personal demonic guards enhance their abilities and even awaken the Demon Slayer's Mark within them. Once marked i will transform them into demons unleashing their full potential what a genius i am.

But I must not lose sight of my ultimate goal preparing for my inevitable confrontation with Yoriichi.

Paranoia perhaps but Yoriichi and even Tanjiro were imbued with what could only be described as divine favor an overwhelming plot armor i will not underestimate. Until I achieve perfection i will not risk my life in a reckless duel. 

To do this i will need Kyogan's advice and expertise. While I may possess superior intellect and power,i cannot achieve omniscience. Collaboration is the key to innovation even with subordinates whose scientific knowledge is barely equal to that of a high school student. Still their insights may provide inspiration or at the very least serve to patch the gaps in my own ideas. 

As i approached the demons who had once been scholars,their collective knowledge of biology, physics and mathematics inadequate but serviceable under proper guidance. Kyogan stood at the forefront awaiting my orders. 

Ethan:"Kyogan have you ever practiced the breathing techniques of the Demon Slayers?"

Kyogan:"No my king i have never stooped to using the vile techniques of our enemies."

Ethan:"There's no need for flattery Kyogan these techniques do not belong to the Demon Slayer's if they can use them then so can we,do you understand? From this moment on i want you to study how these breathing styles work dissect their every detail and master them using your gifts."

Kyogan:"Yes my King i will begin immediately." 

For hours we discussed the mechanics of the breathing styles,their origins and their effects on the human body. The air was heavy with focus as if the weight of our mission was pressing down on all of us. 

By the time night fell the first breakthroughs emerged: 

1."Core Functions of Breathing Styles:

 The breathing techniques optimize oxygen intake and circulation, enabling superhuman feats by enhancing muscle efficiency and endurance. While originally developed to combat demons there was no intrinsic reason demons couldn't use them. 

2."Adaptation for Demoms":

 As demons possess regenerative abilities far beyond human capacity

the breathing techniques could

theoretically be tailored to amplify this regeneration. This adaptation could create a unique form of energy circulation an evolution beyond the human limits. 

3."The Mark Transformation":

 The Demon Slayer Mark awakens under extreme conditions of life and death granting temporary bursts of strength at the cost of a shortened lifespan. However, demons being immortal would suffer no such drawback. This revelation solidified the idea of a Demonic Mark a superior and

enduring form of the original. 

4. "Transarent World Potential:

 The Transparent World an advanced state of perception mastered by the Greatest Demon Slayer's allows the user to predict enemy movements by observing the internal mechanisms of the human body. If demons could unlock this ability they would gain unparalleled precision in combat. 

Nonetheless once we tackled this issue

we next moved to create a hierarchy for this world's strength so after careful examination we created some pyramids of power.

"Pyramid of Demom Power:

1.Muzam Kibutsuji(Ethan):

The original progenitor of demons,his unparalleled regenerative abilities and immense power set the standard for all demons. 

2.Lierutenants:

Powerful demons like Azara and Kyogan each with unique abilities and bound by strong Blood Hexes.

3.Enforcers:

Lesser demons tasked with enforcing Ethan's rule across territories. 

4.Researchers:

Demons working to enhance their abilities under Kyogan's supervision. 

5.Regular Demons:

These demons lack Blood Demon Arts but possess immense physical strength and regenerative capabilities. 

6.Newly Transformed Demons: 

The weakest tier requiring time and consumption to evolve. 

Mechanism's of demonic power

1.Blood Infusion:The potency and amount of Ethan's blood dictate a demon's initial strength. Over-infusion can result in destruction while controlled amounts unlock immense power. 

2.Consumption:Consuming humans enhances physical and mystical capabilities eventually leading to the development of BDAs. 

3.Experience.and Evolution:Over time demons refine their abilities

transforming into more formidable beings.Their BDAs evolve reflecting their individuality. 

My goals were clear to transform the demon hierarchy surpassing Muzan's

legacy and to create a system where demons could ascend to new heights of strength. I would form a cadre of demonic guards wielding tailored B.D.A infused with refined breathing techniques and empowered by their own unique Demonic Mark

The abilities of notable demons from the past gave me inspiration: 

-Nezuko's Exploding Blood: Flames harmful to demons. 

-Kokushibo's Flesh Sword: A weapon formed from his body. 

-Doma's Cryokinesis: Ice-based techniques. 

- And countless others from Rui's razor-sharp threads to Enmu's dream manipulation. 

But for my empire to thrive i needed more than raw power i needed understanding. This is where Kyogan's expertise came into play. 

From the data we gathered the limits of this world's power system were staggering: 

-Strength:Upper Moons like Kokushibo and Akaza could devastate multi-city-block areas with ease in the original anime.

- Speed:Muzan's hypersonic movements (Mach 10–177) made him a terror in combat. 

-Durability:Demons regenerated from injuries that would obliterate humans

with Muzan capable of reforming from near-total annihilation. 

These benchmarks were my targets,i

would not merely match them i would surpass them. 

The path forward was clear this research would lead to the creation of the perfect demon warriors of my demonic guards. Each would possess a personalized breathing technique,a Demonic Mark and mastery of the Transparent World. Together they would form an unbreakable vanguard heralding the dawn of a new era. 

But first i must perfect these techniques for myself. Only when i surpass the limits of this power system will I confront Yoriichi. 

The fool who once Muzan was is long gone. I am no Muzan i am evolution personified the culmination of control. 

Unlike the original Muzan who failed to trust his subordinates in finding the Blue Spider Lily,i see things differently.

Muzan created his twelve strongest demons merely as bodyguards when they could have been sent to search for the flower.Had he done so he might have transcended his weakness to sunlight.But alas Muzan was too short-sighted to consider this.

Why didn't he simply shapeshift into someone wealthy and influential and post a reward for those who could find this rare flower? It only blooms during the daylight on a specific day each year. I'm certain people would have scoured every forest and overturned every rock to claim their reward. In fact that's exactly what I'm doing right now.

I've shapeshifted into a wealthy and influential samurai one I killed and consumed to gain his memories. While I've been using my time wisely

exploring the intricacies of this worlds power system others will be out searching for the precious flower. It's only a matter of time before i get the flower and i overcome my Achiless Heel and as an immortal shapeshifting demon i have plenty of time.
