Chapter 815: Starting from a Village Called Konoha
Chapter 815: Starting from a Village Called Konoha
Mitsuuri Kanroji looked down at the sword piercing her chest.
Perhaps it was better to just die like this.
Though she felt a bit resentful that she couldn't avenge Fengye, she thought that dying like this, unable to protect him, and then accompanying him, was perhaps a fitting end for her.
However, just as this desolate thought flashed through her mind, she gradually realized something was amiss. The loss and silence in her eyes slowly turned into surprise and astonishment.
The sword was still piercing towards her.
But for some reason, it had slowed down.
The closer it got to her body, the slower it became, gradually approaching a complete standstill!
Mitsuuri looked around in a daze, and saw the shocked and anxious expressions of Byakuya and the two Demon Slayer Corps members frozen on their faces. They seemed to want to rush over to help but were frozen in place, their movements as if slowed down a thousandfold.
It wasn't just Byakuya and the two corps members.
The whole world, in her eyes, had slowed down, slowed down a thousandfold!
"This is..."
Mitsuuri turned her head in a daze, then raised her hand and easily touched the sword that Byakuya was stabbing at her with. She then slightly pushed it, diverting the sword to the side.
However, the speed at which it was diverted still felt as if it had sunk into a quagmire, becoming infinitely slow.
And just at this moment.
A look of astonishment flashed in Mitsuuri's eyes.
In this world that seemed to have slowed down a million times over, she saw the only thing that hadn't slowed down - Fengye's 'corpse', lying in a pool of blood in the distance.
The flowing blood had quietly begun to converge towards the corpse, including the blood that had stained her clothes, silently detaching and flying towards Fengye's body.
To Mitsuuri's astonished gaze,
Fengye's 'corpse' slowly stood up, all the blood returning to his body, leaving him unharmed. His face was calm as he quietly stood there.
At this moment, he was no longer Doctor Fengye, but a supreme deity wielding the measure of time, traversing the universe.
"Feng...Fengye?"
Mitsuuri stuttered, her entire body in shock. She pointed at Fengye, her mouth unable to form words as her Sunbreather Nichirin Sword clattered to the ground.
Fengye calmly walked towards Mitsuuri, stopping in front of her. In the midst of her frightened and flustered gaze, he reached out and gently rubbed her head.
"This phase of my life has ended."
He opened his mouth with a hint of regret.
Feeling this twinge of regret within himself, a hint of contentment arose in Fengye's heart. Gods would not have emotions like 'regret', and the closer one was to godhood, the more cold and indifferent they would become.
The fact that he could feel a hint of regret meant that the human part of him had revived significantly, completely covering up the coldness that came with the immense growth in his power - that air of a supreme deity, high above all else.
"Life..."
Hearing Fengye's familiar voice, Mitsuuri paused for a moment before gradually reacting. Tears welled up in her eyes as she said, "Feng...Fengye, you...you're already..."
Death, ghost, spirit - these words suddenly flashed through her mind.
Having shed his identity as an ordinary doctor and regained his 'omniscient and omnipotent' perspective, Fengye naturally saw all the thoughts in Mitsuuri's heart, and he couldn't help but let out a soft laugh. "I'm not a ghost."
At the same time, he lightly tapped her forehead.
When Fengye was an 'ordinary doctor', he often did this action, and every time, Mitsuuri would pretend to feel pain and cover her forehead while letting out a cry.
But this time...
"Ouch!"
Mitsuuri yelped and took two steps back, covering her forehead with her hand. A faint red mark had already appeared on her forehead where Fengye's finger had tapped.
This time, she didn't pretend to feel pain, and the sensation she felt wasn't the soft and fluffy feeling from before, but a tangible sensation that truly made her feel the touch.
Being tapped by Fengye like this,
Mitsuuri's already chaotic thoughts turned into a complete mess.
It wasn't until half a minute later that she gradually came back to her senses, her thoughts slowly organizing in her mind. She widened her eyes, looking at Fengye and then at the world around her, which had slowed down countless times, infinitely approaching stillness. "What...what is this?"
"Well, how should I put it..."
If Fengye was going to tell her a story, no matter what kind it was, she would make an effort to listen—even though her heart was already filled with countless questions!
"Then I'll slowly tell you, starting from a village called 'Konoha'..."
Fengye looked at Mitsuri and smiled slightly, a hint of nostalgia in his eyes as he began his tale.
Time passed slowly.
Mitsuri's expression gradually changed from one of seriousness to surprise and then astonishment. Her mouth hung slightly open, and she stared at Fengye, blinking in disbelief.
Fengye saw the confusion and disbelief in her eyes but merely smiled gently. He paused his narration briefly and placed one hand on her head while raising the other and extending it forward.
"After I gained control of immense power, the world appeared like this to me."
With a casual wave of his hand, the world seemed to rewind like a movie in front of Mitsuri's astonished gaze.
The figure of Byakuya, shrouded in darkness, quickly retreated and vanished. The shattered ruins reassembled, and the scattered bloodstains seemed to appear out of thin air, revealing a monster. The injured Demon Slayer Corps members' wounds rapidly healed.
The monster fought with the three corps members.
The scene continued to rewind.
Night turned back into day as the sun rose from the west, crossing the sky. Figures moved within the village, their shadows lengthening as they sped up, eventually becoming mere afterimages.
As the sun set once more, the world returned to darkness, only to be illuminated again shortly after. Day and night cycled rapidly.
Buildings in the village vanished one by one until only a desolate forest remained.
Then, the cycle of day and night accelerated further.
The forest rose into towering mountains, only to sink again, forming a vast ocean. This transformation repeated, with flora eventually disappearing, leaving behind a barren landscape.
Rocks emerged from the ground, soaring into the sky before disappearing like shooting stars. The barren land ignited, becoming a furnace of fire, and finally disintegrated into countless specks of dust.
As the dust settled, a boundless starry river appeared before them.
Mitsuri and Fengye stood together in this endless, desolate, starlit sky.
Fengye raised his hand and pressed it gently, freezing the scene.
Then, with a gentle nudge in the opposite direction, he reversed the flow of time. In the endless void, dust gathered, forming stars once more.
The fragmented earth reappeared, and meteorites from beyond crashed into it, causing ripples of change. The entire planet continued to transform, and seas emerged, followed by a hint of green that spread from the depths.
Soon, the entire world turned green.
Oceans became mountains, and mountains returned to fields, as countless days and nights passed.
With a flash, as if it were all a dream, everything returned to the beginning—to the village under the moonlight.
Byakuya, under the thirteenth night of the twelfth moon, remained in his stabbing posture, moving incredibly slowly, a thousand times slower than before. In the distance, the two Demon Slayer Corps members stood anxiously, their faces frozen in worry.
"..."
The look in Mitsuri's eyes could hardly be described as anything less than shocked.
Fengye continued softly, "After leaving that world, I began a journey through time, traveling to distant pasts and unknown futures. I've traversed countless worlds until I arrived here."
"I've experienced too many years, far beyond the imagination of humans. Such a lengthy existence has caused my human emotions to fade, and I gradually became as cold and indifferent as a deity."
"So, I used a certain ability to enter the world, becoming a doctor, a farmer, a swordsmith, a hunter... I've lived countless different lives, allowing me to maintain my human emotions."
