Infinity Starting with Hikaru no Go

Fortunately, the Water Pillar, Giyu Tomioka, appeared in time and used his self-created Water Breathing - Type 11 Nagi to block Tanjiro Kamado's attack with the pipe whip.

Without any hesitation, after blocking the first wave of attacks, Giyu Tomioka threw Tanjiro Kamado out of the fighting circle.

Because Muzan Kibutsuji's whip attack did not stop and continued.

Not only that, Muzan Kibutsuji continued feeding the gluttonous beast even while launching his attack.

As the twelve ghost moons were devoured one by one by the Taotie, the Taotie grew larger and larger, and even began to break away from its flesh mountain form, gradually evolving into an unknown and terrifying creature.

Even the Nine Pillars, just by looking at the form of this unknown and terrifying creature, couldn't help but feel fear.

The Nine Pillars desperately tried to break through the Taotie's evolution, but they were already exhausted from dealing with Muzan Kibutsuji's whip attacks and were powerless to stop it.

If Muzan Kibutsuji had focused more on fighting the Nine Pillars, their situation would have been even worse.

However, Muzan Kibutsuji did not do that, but instead focused more on the ever-evolving Taotie.

Soon, the last of the Twelve Ghost Moons was devoured by Taotie, but Taotie's appetite did not stop; instead, it became unprecedentedly strong.

Muzan Kibutsuji knew that this was because the evolution of the Taotie had reached a critical point.

On the other hand, at some point in the future...

This scene is being played on a holographic projection screen filled with futuristic technology.

A short while later, a solemn voice rang out, "As expected, the third singularity is..."

"The final battle between humans and demons that took place over a hundred years ago on an island nation..."

......

Chapter 551 Human Reason Burns Away, the Incarnation of Truth!

Human Rights Continuation Guarantee Agency Phoenix Chaldea, referred to as Human Rights Continuation Guarantee Agency Chaldea or just Chaldea.

Here, "human reasoning" refers to the concept of the origin, existence, and development of the human species within this worldline.

Therefore, human history can be viewed as a history of human development in a correct manner.

This also means that not only the origin and existence of the human race are dependent on human reasoning, but also the influence produced by the human race, such as language, culture, and other products of civilization, as well as the impact of the human race on the world, are all dependent on human reasoning.

If there is no human species on a world line, then there is no human reasoning.

Conversely, if humanity were to emerge on a timeline, then the principles of humanity would inevitably exist.

The purpose of Chaldea is to ensure the long and resilient continuation of human history and to prevent human extinction. It is a special intelligence agency jointly established by various countries.

Within it, regardless of whether it is magic or science, researchers from various fields gather, doing their utmost to observe this world that cannot be fully understood by magic alone, nor can it be fully measured by science alone.

Not long ago, the machine in Chaldea that could predict the future through history suddenly issued a warning and came to the conclusion that humanity would perish.

At first, they thought the machine was broken, but through the joint efforts of all the researchers in Chaldea, they finally discovered the truth.

The truth is not that the machine is broken, but that some unknown entity is rewriting history and attempting to burn away human reason.

Burning away human reason means destroying human reason, causing the extinction of humanity or the human race from the very foundation of concept.

Naturally, this also includes all the things and influences produced by humankind.

Even after the burning of humanity, the world line it existed in still exists and will continue to develop; only humanity, or the human race, will disappear.

After discovering this truth, Chaldea embarked on a journey to restore humanity.

What Chaldea needs to do is send people into the altered history to correct it.

The altered history is also referred to as a singularity by Chaldea.

Romani Archaman, or Roman for short, is the current acting director of Chaldea, and he is looking at the observed history with a solemn expression.

This refers to the battle between humans and ghosts that took place more than a hundred years ago in the island nation.

In fact, Roman was not surprised that the battle between humans and ghosts was chosen as a singularity.

Because the battle between humans and ghosts can indeed affect the continuation of human reason.

It's very simple. As long as the ghosts defeat humans in the final battle between humans and ghosts, the ghosts, as the victors, will survive and write their own history, thus affecting the continuation of human affairs.

What puzzled Roman was why He was there, why He was in that altered history...

"The players appearing in the singularity are likely driven by the Counter Force, in order to prevent the burning of humanity from affecting the survival of the world."

"But why was He there?"

"Could His appearance also be driven by a restraining force?"

"But when did the restraining force acquire such power to propel its appearance?"

"Or is it that some terrifying variable will occur in this singularity, forcing him to appear?"

As Roman muttered to himself, a mature female voice rang out from the side, asking, "Who is He? Could He be one of those who have activated the Grand Rank?"

Roman shook his head slightly upon hearing this, looking at his figure with an extremely solemn expression, and said, "His origins are even more extraordinary. King Solomon saw Him in a dream and was bestowed with true wisdom by Him..."

The woman who had spoken earlier was taken aback upon hearing Roman's words, and then her face showed a look of horror.

She had heard the legend of King Solomon, but she had always thought it was just a legend.

Legend has it that God appeared in King Solomon's dream.

God gave King Solomon an oracle, saying, 'You are qualified to speak your desire, and it will be fulfilled.'

Compared to gold and power, King Solomon craved wisdom more, and God was very pleased with King Solomon's desire, because this desire was the proof that he was qualified to reach 'true wisdom'.

Afterwards, King Solomon awoke from his dream and found himself wearing ten rings on his hands. These were the marks of God’s recognition of his wisdom and the source of his magic, which is why he was called the King of Magic.

If what Roman says is true, then isn't He the legendary God who bestowed true wisdom upon King Solomon?

It was because she realized this that the woman was so deeply shaken.

Roman noticed the woman's shock and spoke again, "He's probably not Him yet; he's just an incarnation of Him..."

Upon hearing Roman's words, the woman looked on with a mixture of understanding and confusion, repeatedly muttering, "His incarnation?"

Upon seeing this, Roman appeared somewhat dazed, as if recalling something, and murmured, "His incarnation is also the incarnation of truth..."

In the world of magic, Truth has another name, namely 'The Vortex of Root'!

......

Inside the Asakusa restricted area.

The battle between Chen Anxia and Heishimu continues.

In this ongoing battle, Kokushibo has gradually shifted from initially suppressing the enemy to a passive defensive posture.

It wasn't that Heishibo didn't want to continue suppressing things, nor was it that Chen Anxia had concealed his strength from the beginning.

Rather, it was because Chen Anxia continuously grew stronger in this evenly matched battle.

Kokushibo, who fought against Chen Anxia, ​​felt this most deeply.

At first, after sensing that Chen Anxia was getting stronger, Kokushibo thought that Chen Anxia was hiding his strength and not using his full power.

But as the battle continued, Kokushibo finally realized that Chen Anxia was not hiding his strength, but rather that Chen Anxia's strength was constantly increasing during the battle.

Moreover, Chen Anxia's growth seems to have no upper limit; he becomes stronger when facing stronger opponents.

Kokushibo couldn't understand how there could be a human with such terrifying talent in the world, so terrifying that even he felt fear.

Even in Kokushibo's mind, his younger brother, the legendary demon slayer Yoriichi Tsugikuni, was not as talented as Chen Anxia.

Because no matter how strong Yoriichi Tsugikuni's talent is, he is still human after all.

Chen Anxia's talent seems to have transcended the limitations of the human species, reaching another dimension.

As the battle has continued, Chen Anxia's strength has grown to the point where he can completely suppress Heishibo.

Only then did Kokushibo cease to sense Chen Anxia's continued growth in strength.

Kokushibo was well aware of this; it wasn't that Chen Anxia couldn't continue to grow stronger, but rather that he could only make Chen Anxia this strong.

From this perspective, Chen Anxia's ability to become stronger when facing stronger opponents also has its limits.

This upper limit is determined by the strength of the opponent.

......

Chapter 552 A Deadly Strike, A Blade That Foresaw Death!

After defeating Heishi Mou with another strike, Chen Anxia breathed a sigh of relief.

Because of his constitution that makes him stronger when facing stronger opponents, Chen Anxia's initial strength was comparable to Kokushibo's, but he was able to continuously grow stronger and eventually surpass Kokushibo.

As his strength continued to grow, Chen Anxia was also able to gradually spare some attention to the battles between the Nine Pillars, Muzan Kibutsuji, and Taotie.

Chen Anxia was not surprised by the scene of Muzan Kibutsuji single-handedly activating the nine pillars.

Chen Anxia also knew that Muzan Kibutsuji was still not using his full strength and was still holding back his biggest trump card, which was his strongest move.

The nine Pillars, who are currently fighting Muzan Kibutsuji, will also know this.

It is precisely because they know this that they feel increasingly unwilling and powerless.

Although they had already learned of Muzan Kibutsuji's power through Chen Anxia.

But they never imagined that the gap between them would be so huge.

The gap was so vast that even though all nine of them had already opened the Transparent World, they still couldn't break through Muzan Kibutsuji's whip attack, and were even in grave danger under Muzan Kibutsuji's whip attack.

They also found it hard to imagine how they could have defeated a monster like Muzan Kibutsuji in the original timeline.

Now they are resigned to death and place all their hopes on Kamado Tanjiro and Chen Anxia.

Chen Anxia goes without saying. The reason he places his hopes on Kamado Tanjiro is because, in the original timeline, Kamado Tanjiro was the key to defeating Muzan Kibutsuji.

Unfortunately, Tanjiro Kamado is still too weak and needs more time to grow.

During this time, they will do everything in their power to secure a chance for Tanjiro Kamado, even at the cost of their lives.

Chen Anxia not only discerned Jiuzhu's suicidal intent through their micro-expressions, but also sensed their emotional changes through their scent, thus understanding this fact.

Chen Anxia knew that the Nine Pillars were in dire straits, and his battle with Kokushibo could not be delayed any longer.

Naturally, Chen Anxia also knew that his ability to become stronger when facing stronger opponents had reached its limit against Hei Simu.
