Chapter 99: No Cooling "Space Shuttle"
---
A system prompt sounded in Aoki's mind: [Kill the fifth upper rank and get 600 experience points.]
"600 experience points, only 200 points more than Nakime," Aoki sighed to himself.
It wasn't that Nakime wasn't strong enough, but his strength and level were now too high, and his experience gain had dropped significantly.
However, there was no need to worry. According to this progress, the demons in this world were more than enough to support him in reaching the full level.
Aoki shut down the system. Compared to the gain in experience, he was more concerned about the changes in "space shuttle" this time.
After feeling it carefully for a while, Aoki's eyes gradually lit up.
The change in "space shuttle" this time wasn't significant, at least not as obvious as the addition of a different space after Devouring Nakime. However, its importance was not diminished.
Simply put, it greatly simplified the startup process of "space shuttle." More directly, there was no cooldown time.
The so-called cooldown time of "space shuttle" was actually the time when the skill was activated. As his intelligence became higher and his mental power stronger, his control over "space shuttle" improved, his thinking speed increased, and the "space shuttle" cooldown time was greatly reduced. Compared to when he first learned "space shuttle," it had been reduced by more than half.
However, with recent additions to his intelligence, the cooldown time of "space shuttle" had decreased less and less. If 1 point of intelligence could initially reduce the cooldown time by 0.1 seconds, now 1 point of intelligence could only reduce it by 0.01 seconds, or even less. The relatively complicated activation process of "space shuttle" meant that the cooldown time couldn't be reduced infinitely.
However, after Devouring Gyokko, the "space shuttle" activation process was greatly simplified, becoming almost instinctive, fundamentally solving the problem.
Of course, strictly speaking, "space shuttle" still couldn't be considered instant. Especially when activated continuously, there would still be a certain interval. After all, his thinking reaction speed was limited. It was impossible to teleport infinitely. However, this was his problem, not a problem of "space shuttle."
Aoki felt it seriously for a while. Not only "space shuttle," but also "space imprint shuttle" and "entering and exiting different spaces" had been optimized.
This wasn't surprising. "Space shuttle" was the basis, and the space imprint only provided a special coordinate. Entering and exiting different spaces was essentially a "space shuttle."
Although the experience given by Gyokko was not much, his contribution was first-class. Among the Upper Moons, he should be second only to Akaza and could compete with Doma.
In the future, if Muzan Kibutsuji is defeated, Aoki will take credit for his contribution.
Shinobu looked at Aoki curiously. She had heard from her sister that Mr. Aomura's strength would significantly improve every time he Devoured demons, but she didn't notice it this time. She wondered if Gyokko was just too weak.
Aoki looked up and found Shinobu staring at him. "What's wrong?"
Shinobu glanced at his back and asked enthusiastically, "Mr. Aomura, what happened to the wings before?"
Before, her attention was focused on Gyokko, and she hadn't been in the mood to care. Now that the matter was resolved, her curiosity emerged again.
Aoki replied, "As a demon, it makes sense to grow a pair of wings, right?"
"Is it reasonable?" Shinobu asked.
Aoki nodded. "I think it's quite reasonable."
Shinobu glared at him and stopped worrying about the wings. "What should we do next?"
Aoki asked, "You should be more familiar with this kind of thing than me, right?"
He always just killed; he didn't bury.
"Yes," Shinobu said, coming to her senses. This operation had been confusing, and she felt a bit disoriented.
She thought for a while. "Let's first investigate if there are any other villages around that have been attacked"
Not only because of Gyokko but also to ensure there were no other demons nearby.
"I'm sure there's nothing there when I search," Aoki said.
The two walked forward.
Shinobu said, "The fifth Upper Moon is also dead. That means only the first and fourth Upper Moons are left. I wonder if Muzan Kibutsuji will promote new Upper Moons?"
"It's not that easy," Aoki shook his head.
In the original story, after Gyutaro, Gyokko, and Hantengu were killed, Muzan Kibutsuji only found two replacements, Nakime and Kaigaku. Among them, Kaigaku was instantly killed by Zenitsu, and his strength was about the same as an ordinary Lower Moon. It's uncertain whether he could compare with Daki.
Although it was related to the fact that Kaigaku had only recently become a demon and wasn't yet familiar with his new power, it also showed that his strength wasn't that great. To become an Upper Moon was because Muzan Kibutsuji had no one else to use.
"That's good In this case, Muzan Kibutsuji will soon become a loner." Shinobu almost laughed.
The people in the previous village were pitiful and miserable, but she had seen too much life and death and knew she had to move on. Being immersed in sadness would only stop her from moving forward.
Aoki said nothing. Muzan Kibutsuji did not feel lonely because there were no others of his kind. In his heart, he alone was enough to be immortal and eternal. However, the death of Gyokko should still make him very angry.
Only two Upper Moons were left. The Twelve Kizuki system was completely finished.
…
There was a small wooden house at the foot of the mountain. There were piles of firewood outside the house. It was clear this was a woodcutter's house.
It was already late at night, but the door of the wooden house was wide open. Scarlet blood flowed out of the house, creating a hideous bloodstain in the yard.
Inside, three people were stacked together, all covered in blood, lifeless.
Standing at the door was a pale young man with plum-red eyes. He was holding a sturdy man in his hand. A stream of blood poured into his fingertips, and the sturdy man's expression quickly became hideous.
"Gyokko is dead," Muzan Kibutsuji said expressionlessly. "Knowing he is not an opponent, he still provokes. Stupid! He deserves to die!"
He no longer had any expectations for these demons. If one day, they all died, he would not be surprised.
"The wooden sign that can be used for teleportation… Is this how he entered Infinity Castle? I wonder if it can be used in reverse… No, that's not the point. The key is to find a way to restrain the teleportation ability first!"
Bang!
A light sound suddenly came from the room. Muzan Kibutsuji looked up.
When he was thinking, too much blood had poured in, exceeding the endurance limit of the man in his hand, causing his body to destroy.
"If you can't even bear this little blood, you're still a waste even if you become a demon."
Throwing the twisted corpse aside, Muzan Kibutsuji turned around and left without any hesitation. What he needed was a demon that could overcome the sun and a demon that could restrain the teleportation ability, not this kind of waste.
