Chapter 1732 The Curtain Falls on Flesh and Blood
Demons are born of fear; at least, that's how the demons in Chainsaw Man were born.
Regardless of who the target is—humans, demons, even cats, dogs, or any living being—as long as 'fear' exists, demons will be born, grow, and become increasingly powerful.
Born of fear, feeding on fear, that is the devil.
Because firearms and bullets are so deadly to living beings, even wild animals know not to provoke or approach humans who wield hunting rifles, not to mention the fear and apprehension humans have towards firearms.
Thus, the Demon of the Gun (銃の悪魔) was born.
The greater the fear of guns and bullets, the stronger the demon of guns becomes, and the stronger the demon of guns becomes, the more fearful life becomes.
The more powerful a life form is, the higher the quality of the fear it provides.
Spiral had long studied the true nature of the Demon of the Gun.
"You think you can scare me with just a few words? You're far from it, you idiot!"
Cheryl unfurled her blood-and-flesh cloak and moved erratically at near-instantaneous speed along the countless blood droplets scattered high in the sky, rapidly approaching Rebecca.
As a veteran member with extensive experience in Spiral combat, she has her own methods for dealing with projectiles and ranged weapons.
The biggest drawback of ranged archers is that they are all helpless in close combat. Once they are approached by ability users or close combat experts and are within their attack range, they are like lambs to the slaughter.
"Watch out, Lady Rebecca... uh!"
Seeing this, Feathered Serpent immediately rushed to help, but the third wave of crimson waves suddenly surged up and crashed hard against the dimensional barrier outside the Ozark dimension.
The wave of negative energy nearly destroyed the barrier between the Odraki Dimension and the real world, almost pulling Quetzalcoatl and Emeritus out of the Odraki Dimension. If the wave of negative energy could actually reach Emeritus and Quetzalcoatl, Cheryl was confident she could quickly wash away the protective measures imposed on Quetzalcoatl by the Crimson of Resistance.
At that time, Feathered Serpent and Imery will immediately become puppets of flesh and blood, turning their attention to Rebecca and launching an attack called 'Betrayal'.
Whoosh! Cheryl once again leaped through the blood in the air to a position less than two hundred meters directly above Rebecca, which was already within the effective attack range of Cheryl's killing move.
Her third hand, located beneath her ribs, had its five fingers spread wide, and blood gathered and flowed between her palms and fingers, forming a scarlet dagger thirty centimeters long.
Scarlet Needle!
The adoptive mother, the singer of fate, has the 'Soul Sword' as her trump card, and Cheryl, who considers herself a good daughter, naturally doesn't want to be left behind and creates a flesh-and-blood concept imitation.
Once pierced by the Scarlet Needle, any living being whose body is made of flesh and blood will immediately fall under the control of the concept of flesh and blood. Even if the opponent is a silicon-based life form or an inanimate cold metal, the Scarlet Needle can effectively cause the attack effect of 'corrosion' and 'rusting'. Conventional weapons will even be corroded into dark red debris the moment they collide with the Scarlet Needle.
Even long-range bullets and arrows will rust instantly upon contact with the Scarlet Needle.
Cheryl locked onto Rebecca below and hurled a scarlet needle downwards with her third hand, while Rebecca was looking elsewhere, seemingly unaware of Cheryl's presence.
Go to hell with your guns and bullets!
The scarlet needle immediately drew a red line in the air, pointing straight at Rebecca's head.
Bang! !
Cheryl's arrogant smile froze on her faceless, terrifying face. Her third hand, along with her ribs and chest cavity, exploded completely into a shower of flesh. The scarlet needles on the same trajectory also shattered into countless blood droplets, completely losing their effectiveness.
Why...did the Scarlet Needle not stop her bullet?
Before she could even ponder this question, Cheryl felt a certain multiverse in Earth 46 collapse with a deafening roar. The fear and screams of all living beings in that universe before their deaths were like a snapshot, deeply imprinted in Cheryl's mind.
This time, Cheryl didn't even have time to transfer all the damage away; she could only transfer the remaining damage and impact to other multiverses.
Almost simultaneously, four more multiverses collapsed.
Below, Rebecca raised her index finger to her lips, ostentatiously blowing away the smoke from the muzzle of her index finger gun. The instantaneous enhancement of her conceptual power was astonishing, the frequency of which corresponded perfectly to the collapse of the five multiverses.
Now, Cheryl finally understands what happened.
When that bastard, the Gun Demon, entered the Rustless Ascension Concept Body, he didn't possess the concept 'gun,' but rather the concept 'fear,' which once belonged to the fake Spiral member, Voodoo!
She uses the Crimson of All Beings, relying on the physical council network of Earth 46, to transmit 'fear' to the corresponding multiverse through harm transfer.
This guy somehow acquired the ability to create a 'virus package' similar to a cyber virus and spread it through the Limb Council Network. As long as life forms in the current multiverse are still connected to the Limb Council Network, they will be uploaded with the fear virus package at the same time.
How can mortal beings resist such a powerful primal fear? Their fate is to collapse instantly, from body to soul.
The existence of a multiverse is, in fact, supported by the consciousness of all life forms within that universe. Without cognition, how can there be existence?
The moment all life forms in the multiverse that possess 'cognition' die, it signifies the complete annihilation of that multiverse.
The shock and fear that erupts when an entire multiverse of life dies will feed back into the culprit Rebecca, serving as the best resource for her to permanently strengthen herself.
It can be said that Rebecca, who entered the Rustless Ascension Concept Body 'Scientific Horror Great Demon God', is the most restraining being in all the heavens and myriad worlds.
If things continue to develop in this way, with one side gaining at the expense of the other, Rebecca will soon devour more and more of the multiverse and eventually grow to an incredible level, perhaps even comparable to the Spiral Pillars that possess the Spiral Realm.
Cheryl expects that time limit to be no more than three minutes.
The means to spread all of this, however, depended on Cheryl herself.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Thoughts flashed by in the blink of an eye, and the gunshots came just as quickly. Cheryl's wounds had just begun to heal, and before she could escape through the blood-soaked path, she was riddled with bullets, her flesh torn apart and her limbs mutilated.
Rebecca strolled slowly amidst the sea of blood, her four hands poised as if firing pistols, her tone light and quick:
"Either dodge, or get hit and then transfer the damage. You can't do the former, and you're aiding the enemy if you do the latter."
"You bitch, you're doomed no matter how much you struggle, so why don't you just give up? How about I give you a chance to ask your cheapskate mom for help?"
Cheryl was speechless because her cheek had been smashed to pieces as soon as it was repaired.
She couldn't escape either, because all the nearby blood droplets were scattered and evaporated, and her limbs were in a constant state of repair and collapse.
Cheryl was like a lump of rotten flesh, twitching and trembling as she was hit by invisible gunfire in the sky.
The crimson needle, which she had painstakingly condensed, was shattered before it could fully take shape, making Cheryl's proud ability to corrode seem like a joke.
Because she realized that what Rebecca was shooting out of her index finger wasn't a bullet at all; the other person was just doing the act of 'shooting'.
Cheryl recognized this ability as the power of Rijebarrow, a member of the Sternritter in Bleach: The X-Axis.
No bullets are needed; anything that the gun touches along its trajectory, which is a straight line between the muzzle and the target, will be pierced.
This is precisely the ability that Nanami traced back to after awakening her divine-level life tool and carefully selected for Rebecca. Heather's weapon reforging infused this power of "all-encompassing" into the spear demon's true form.
If the target were Rick Sanchez's "Central Finite Curve," Rebecca knew she couldn't penetrate it. But her opponent was merely flesh and blood, a sitting duck!
Along with the gunshots came Rebecca's incessant chatter:
"Under my brother's command, I never had the chance to experience mass extinctions to absorb fear and grow stronger. When I traveled for work or leisure, I was always unlucky and never encountered a rotten world like Berserk or Devilman that I could destroy."
But! Your Spiral World is absolutely amazing! It's generous in portion, filling, and tastes fantastic.
Do you know what instructions the guy gave before the attack?
Slay! Kill! Do not! Discuss!
In other words, no matter what we do to you and the Spiral Realm, we won't cross Brother's bottom line. Now I can finally have a big meal! Hahaha!
Rebecca's laughter sounded cheerful, but it sent a chill down Cheryl's spine.
At this moment, Cheryl finally realized that no matter how funny or stupid this shorty was, her true nature was still that of a demon, and the most cruel of all demons—the demon of guns!
Once the Demon of Guns breaks free from the reins of Heather's 'moral bottom line,' any world or living being she targets will suffer annihilation.
Moreover, Cheryl could sense that Rebecca seemed to be deliberately forcing her to seek help from the Singer of Fate.
She wanted to use her fear to remotely attack the Singer of Fate, thus providing assistance to Nightshade Buster!
More and more multiverses are collapsing, and the very concept of 'multiverse collapse' has become a meme of fear, infecting the other multiverses of Earth 46. At this rate, even if Cheryl herself stops transferring the damage, those multiverses will succumb to fear and eventually collapse, spreading at an exponential rate.
Alright, Demon of the Gun... I admit I failed, but I will never let you use me as a springboard to attack Lady Alice, nor will I give you the chance to grow to an unstoppable level!
Amid the endless gunfire, Cheryl slowly raised her gruesome, blood-splattered head, revealing a smile that no one could see.
I'm sorry, Rahu, I broke my promise.
Excuse me, Lady Alice, I must take my leave now.
I'm sorry, Spiral Lord, I couldn't hold on until the day you promised.
Once again, 'All Things Connected' shattered Cheryl's flesh and blood, but Rebecca did not see Cheryl reassemble her body.
The gruesome mass of flesh in the sky exploded with a deafening roar, turning into a shower of blood that fell from the sky.
At the same time, the entire Earth 46 'Crimson Dynasty' began to collapse and disintegrate because its ruler had died.
Spiral Realm, Earth 46, Destruction.
Spiral member Cheryl [Red Cloak], deceased.
