Simultaneous transmigration, but with low martial arts and low magic.

Chapter 67 The Crazy Island Nation and the "Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere"!

As Muzan emerged silently from the shadows, a murderous glint flashed in Yamagata Arihiro's eyes.

"Who are you? Who sent you to assassinate me?"

Let me guess, is it Yamamoto Gonnohyōe, Saionji Kinmochi, Hara Takashi, or Katsura Taro?

Looking at the expressionless Muzan, Yamagata Arihiro stroked his white beard.

"None of them? If they're not my political enemies, then they must be on my side!"

Thinking of this, several figures flashed through Yamagata Arihiro's mind, and his face grew increasingly gloomy.

"My name is Kibutsuji Muzan!"

"Kibutsuji Muzan?!"

Yamagata Arihiro stood up in surprise, but quickly sat down again.

His hands trembled slightly as he lit a cigarette, exhaled, and said:

"I never imagined that the Demon King, who has ravaged my island nation for thousands of years, would appear here."

So... what is your purpose?

"I want your military to be at my service from now on, and I will help you realize your dream of the 'Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere'!"

Muzan calmly stated his purpose, which immediately made Yamagata Arihiro lose his grip on the cigarette in his hand.

"Clatter!"

A cigarette fell onto the table, sparking a few tiny sparks, but Yamagata Yupeng seemed oblivious.

Taking a deep breath, Yamagata Arihiro smiled as he weighed various options in his mind and finally made a firm decision in his eyes.

"Then I wish us a pleasant 'cooperation'."

Yamagata Arihiro specifically emphasized the word "cooperation," implying that they had a cooperative relationship rather than a subordinate one.

After all, the island nation of today is no longer in the Warring States period, a time of constant civil war and extremely fragmented power.

The island nation, which had already achieved unification, was like a scattered hand that had been reassembled into a strong fist.

At this time, the island nation was countless times stronger than before in terms of cohesion, public morale, technology, military weapons, number of soldiers, and quality of soldiers.

This also gave Yamagata Arihiro the confidence to stand firm, allowing him to remain undaunted even when facing Kibutsuji Muzan, who had ravaged the island nation for thousands of years.

He even had to fight for a cooperative position with the military, rather than being Muzan's subordinate.

After pondering for a moment, Muzan did not refute Yamagata Arihiro's deliberate emphasis on the cooperative relationship.

This is because the island nation at that time was indeed in a position to cooperate.

After all, the island nation's technology is developing very rapidly, and it already possesses many powerful modern weapons.

In addition, with a regular elite army of 25, it has the war potential to unleash millions of soldiers at any time.

All of this combined was enough to earn Muzan Kibutsuji's attention.

Although this emphasis is not actually much, Muzan Kibutsuji believes that if he and the Twelve Demon Moons were to attack together...

We are fully confident that we can wipe out all 25 active-duty soldiers of the island nation.

However, while I am confident, Muzan will not actually do that.

After all, it came to incorporate the island nation's military power into its own fold, not to destroy the island nation's military.

Then Muzan calmly said:

"Then I wish us a pleasant cooperation."

So the human and the ghost in the room began to formally discuss their respective needs and tasks.

The island nation's military's needs are obvious: they want Muzan to transform all those selected by the military into demons.

Among these benefits, there are many advantages to transforming into a demon: one can live forever, possess an immortal body, and have great power.

The benefits should definitely be given to meritorious military personnel, such as the island nation soldiers and officers who made great contributions in the First Sino-Japanese War.

As for those soldiers or green recruits who haven't made any contributions and whose performance isn't outstanding, they don't deserve to be transformed into evil spirits.

Muzan Kibutsuji readily agreed, as it was a trivial matter to him.

Moreover, the amount of blood needed to transform a person into a demon is actually negligible, because no matter how much, they cannot withstand it and will only explode and die.

Therefore, even if Muzan were to transform hundreds of people into demons at once, it wouldn't be impossible for him.

And even if it's impossible to transform hundreds of people into evil spirits all at once, can't it be done in several batches?

With Muzan's powerful self-healing and digestive abilities, as long as there is a 'large amount of food' available, he can survive.

Muzan could then quickly digest food, producing large amounts of blood, ultimately creating even more demons.

Therefore, ghost blood is extremely precious and rare to others.

But for Muzan, who could produce his own blood indefinitely as long as there was enough food, it was not precious at all.

Whether Muzan's blood is valuable or cheap depends entirely on Muzan's attitude.

In this process, Muzan also put forward his own demands.

There are only three requirements. The first is to have the island nation's military eliminate Muzan's thousand-year nemesis, the Demon Slayer Corps.

They demanded that the island nation's military completely annihilate the Ubuyashiki family and sever the Demon Slayer Corps' lineage.

Muzan believed that with the intelligence capabilities of the Japanese military, they could definitely find out information about all the Demon Slayer Corps members.

Then he could kill those Demon Slayer Corps members for him, so that even if he couldn't find the Demon Slayer Corps' headquarters.

If the tentacles of the Demon Slayer Corps are severed, the Demon Slayer Corps will be effectively destroyed, even if it is not completely wiped out.

After that, Muzan's second request was for the Japanese military to wipe out Li Ke and his group on Mount Kumotori.

This was also Muzan's main purpose in coming here: to use the power of the Japanese military to kill Li Ke!

Yamagata Arihiro readily agreed to this.

After that, Muzan's third request surprised Yamagata Arihiro.

This was because Muzan had asked him to find an unknown plant called the "Blue Spider Lily".

Although Yamagata Arihiro didn't know why Muzan wanted to do this, he readily agreed.

And so, the cooperation between the island nation's military and Muzan was finalized.

Then both sides agreed to transform the first batch of 500 military personnel into evil spirits one week later.

If nothing unexpected happens, the island nation's military will have an additional 500 demons in a week!

It has to be said that Muzan really went all out this time.

This is because 500 demons is the number of demons Muzan has transformed over several years, according to the usual practice.

The fact that 500 people can be transformed into evil spirits in just a few days is undoubtedly breaking a historical record.

Moreover, this phenomenon of transforming large numbers of people into evil spirits will certainly not happen only once, but countless times.

It's simply because there are too many people who can be transformed, in addition to the existing soldiers who can be transformed into demons.

Veterans who retired due to disability were actually given priority for conversion, and only then would it be the turn of the new recruits.

After all, veterans who can retire peacefully have made contributions and have rich combat experience.

Naturally, they are the best candidates for demon transformation. After they are transformed into demons, they can not only quickly enhance the strength of the island nation's military.

It can also reduce the burden of veterans' pensions, which is a win-win situation.
