Chapter 207: The Immortal Lifeform Ai x De-Conjuration Acquired
Carrying his thoughts on "life," "the world," "living," "dying," and a series of "propositions" one must face as a "human"...
Roy decided to bring some "otherworldly shock" to this world's "native"!
Genjutsu stems from "Self-Cognition"...
And what is in my cognitive world?
There's the dream tunnel... the familiar Sea of Cognition... the "doors" standing on the sea level, branded with different patterns, signifying different themed worlds...
Strictly speaking... "I am the door, the door is me. I am... Mr. Door!"
Creeak~ As scarlet filled the boy's eye sockets, the three black tomoe slowly rotated. Roy's consciousness immersed, casting his gaze towards the fake Ging. His lips moved slightly, silently saying: "Genjutsu: Infinite Void..."
In the cognitive world, the wooden door leading to the Demon Slayer world, with a demon mask hanging above it, suddenly flashed open a crack, then... half-open... until it swung wide open!
Relying on his own "Nen" to carry the entire Demon Slayer world, Roy moved his thoughts... through imagination, trying to substitute himself into every "tangible" and "intangible" thing in the Demon Slayer world... Then, he compressed them... including every flower, grass, tree, stone, person, ghost, house, pond, cloud, sun, meal, and sleep in the Demon Slayer world into a 0.01-second [Worldview]...
Then projected it onto the fake Ging via the Sharingan!
Separated by nearly a hundred meters, the fake Ging looked warily at Roy. Suddenly meeting the boy's scarlet eyes with three tomoe, he froze, falling into a dazed state!
Chirp
A swift cut through the rain curtain, diving straight down...
Amidst the swirling mist, the fake Ging blinked, and the world changed in an instant.
He didn't know what just happened. He just looked at the opponent, and he turned into a birch tree... He struggled violently, trying to move his limbs. Leaves rustled with the shaking trunk, scaring away a woodpecker perched on him, trying to remove insects.
Peck... peck... peck... The woodpecker flew away in the rain. The fake Ging saw it, bewildered... Thoughts turned, just thinking "Why am I suddenly here? And how did I become a tree?"
As a result... consciousness wavered... recovering... he had turned into a stubborn rock not far under the tree.
Pitter-patter... Rain washed over the stone surface, cold and damp, making him uncomfortable. He couldn't help but shiver, only to find in dismay that he couldn't even sneeze... He was unwilling, terrified. He struggled frantically again, consciousness wavered... recovering...
He suddenly found himself turned into a woodcutter wearing a bamboo hat, an axe at his waist, taking advantage of the remaining daylight to chop wood in the mountains before dark... Standing by the stream, looking at the unfamiliar face reflected on the water surface, the woodcutter's past flooded his mind... His children, his wife, his troubles, his joys, his sorrows... everything made him melancholic and startled. Finally waking up with a start, he stopped chopping wood, moved his feet, and ran madly, trying to escape this world. But...
Before running a hundred meters, his consciousness wavered again. Recovering... he was already in the sky, turned into a black cloud... Above was the dazzling sun, inside was Rumble~ thunder, darting like electric snakes...
The fake Ging "opened his mouth wide," roaring... Boom-crack~ A thunderbolt struck, unfortunately hitting a foraging wolf below... The wolf foamed at the mouth, twitched, and fell... The fake Ging watched all this blankly, then...
Turned into rain and dew, pouring down...
Turned into a woman, washing clothes by a pond in the village...
Turned into a mule, screaming Hee-haw as the peddler whipped it, running in pain... Then turned into a man-eating demon, sneaking into a house at night, biting a human neck, feeling the blood spurting... Turned into a Demon Slayer, chasing demons with the Hashira... Turned into Gyomei Himejima... Turned into Kagaya Ubuyashiki... Turned into Muzan Kibutsuji, turtling in an Infinity Castle with no sense of direction, seeing that familiar face in his heart that made him panic, fear, and wish for death...
"It's him... it's the person fighting me... he threw me into this world!"
The fake Ging turned into Muzan Kibutsuji, touching his chest, gritting his teeth, suddenly understanding everything... Then consciousness wavered again... This time he turned into Nakime, into Kokushibo... into Douma... into Gyutaro... into Tengen Uzui... into Muichiro Tokito...
He was like a foreign soul trapped in the Demon Slayer world, reincarnating endlessly, wanting to escape but unable to... Only passively, lonely accepting the [Demon Slayer World] imposed on him by Roy, consciousness constantly cycling between "wandering" and "lost"... slowly sliding down the abyss of collapse...
Buzz... The [Dojutsu] catalyzed by Nen continued to operate...
Hunter Association.
Wing keenly noticed that the fake Ging suddenly stopped moving. The boy's clear eyes hidden under the glasses subconsciously shifted to Roy. Meeting Roy's scarlet Sharingan with slowly rotating three tomoe... somehow, a fear rose, causing him to stumble back two steps, his back halted by a small hand reaching out!
"Don't panic, he's not targeting you." Biscuit supported Wing. Well... No need for the old man to explain. Just based on the three tomoe emerging in that kid Roy's pupils... The old woman narrowed her eyes, instantly judging... This was definitely not the Scarlet Eyes known as one of the "Seven Most Beautiful Colors in the World."
It was a pair of eyes never seen before... looked rarer than some gems... Biscuit's beautiful amber eyes rippled. She glanced sideways at Netero. "Old man, see anything?"
In a corner of the floor, Netero, sporting a topknot and two earrings like a trendy youngster, took the black tea refilled by Beans but seemed to forget to drink... His eyes, weathered by storms, having seen everything, calm and unmoved by external things, stared intently at the screen, rarely... showing a glint of light!
The old man scanned. Not just the fake Ging stopped moving... In the battlefields divided by the ownerless land, confronting Ging, Razor, Gotoh, and Elena... "Fake Razor," "Fake Gotoh," "Fake Elena," and that magical beast resembling an elephant with a tapir face, suspected to be an Elephant Tapir... the moment Roy revealed his Sharingan, all stopped moving, eyes rolling back, falling into a dazed state...
"People only freeze under intense ideological impact,"
"Ho ho ho... It's not that they don't want to move, but they can't..."
Tea smoke curled. The knowledgeable "Strongest Human" spoke the truth, carefully watching the fake Ging and fake Razor in the screen, just like when he first entered the Dark Continent with Linne and Zzigg years ago and was ambushed by sandworms, also experiencing such a freeze for a very short time.
"Ideological..." Wing leaned against Biscuit's small but strong hand, repeatedly chewing on this phrase. His forehead warmed as Biscuit grabbed the cowlick on his head and rubbed it. "It means cognition~"
Biscuit narrowed her eyes, scrutinizing Roy's Sharingan, saying deeply, "They froze because they definitely saw something beyond their cognition..."
"Beyond cognition?"
"Yes."
Curiosity piqued, Wing stole glances at his master and grandmaster... The latter stroked his beard, eyes gleaming, seemingly... eager to try?
The boy's Adam's apple moved, quietly swallowing saliva. Looking at the screen again...
Inside the ruins church, as "Fake Razor," "Fake Gotoh," "Fake Elena," and "Elephant Tapir" all froze...
Ging, Razor, Gotoh, and Elena were clearly stunned too, immediately noticing their opponents' anomaly.
"What's happening?"
The opponent... "Why did they suddenly crash like a computer?"
Elena, dealing with the Elephant Tapir, seized the opportunity after a moment of daze. Hurriedly manipulating the [Buttons] wrapped in Ten, she pierced the Elephant Tapir's body... Misty fog surged, the Elephant Tapir turned into a wisp of fog and dissipated. Then... the girl's vision blurred. Recovering, she had fallen out of the ownerless land, back to reality.
Poof... poof... poof... Another three consecutive soft sounds...
Ging, Razor, and Gotoh, using three "Nen bullets," killed "Fake Razor," "Fake Gotoh," and "Fake Elena." Then... breaking the illusion, returning to reality... They looked at each other, then turned their gazes in unison to the front, at the figure not tall but exceptionally upright.
"Young Master..." With blood-red pupils and three tomoe slowly rotating, Gotoh came to Roy's side immediately. Meeting the boy's gaze with his narrow, slightly melancholy eyes, he froze on the spot, stopping his steps in time.
"Seems to be his... masterpiece."
"You'd better not touch him."
Ging and Razor walked up, discovering Roy's anomaly at the same time.
The man raised his hand to press down the hood on his head, covering his messy hair, reminding Gotoh. His gaze lingered deeply on the boy's blood-red eyes for a moment. Crossing his arms, he waited quietly aside, taking the opportunity... to survey the surroundings, looking for the [Mastermind].
Beside him, Elena had already activated her Nen ability [Overall Control], exploring the ruins via En... Further in, Razor and Gotoh stood on left and right, forming a pincer stance, vaguely shielding Roy behind them.
Hunter Association. The screens for Ging, Razor, Gotoh, and Elena disappeared, leaving only Roy alone in the ownerless land, slowly opening his Sharingan, savoring [Infinite Void]... unhurriedly releasing En to differentiate a Heart Worm along the thread of causality to invade the fake Ging's heart.
Unexpectedly... the fake Ging exploded with a bang!
Taking the Heart Worm with it into flying ash!
Roy was stunned. Panel notification... [Magical Beast Encyclopedia has unfolded...]

Roy's breath caught in his throat. He fell out of the ownerless land, alarm bells ringing in his heart...
Exchanging glances with Ging, Razor, Gotoh, and Elena, they all looked towards the front of the church, before a broadsword stuck in the ground...
A skeleton and a massive elephant corpse sat across rows of seats, quietly watching them. Fwoosh~ Two clusters of ghostly green fire suddenly ignited in the skeleton's empty eye sockets. Just then... a faint sigh carrying the vicissitudes of time filled everyone's ears...
"Please forgive Little Eight. It... just didn't want you to disturb my slumber..."
Rumble!
The floor trembled, seats rattling. Before Roy, Ging, Razor, and the others could react, the skeleton gently stroked the elephant corpse beside it, signaling it not to be anxious. Raising a hand...
Suddenly, accompanied by a desolate elephant cry...
The magnificent church with a dome nearly a thousand meters high seemed to come alive in an instant...
Opened its mouth and spat...
Spitting Roy, Ging, Razor, along with Gotoh and Elena out as "uninvited guests"!
Creeak~ The tall stone gate carved with various reliefs closed rapidly... Before closing, Roy exchanged a glance with the skeleton through the crack...
The ghostly green fire flickered, deeply engraving the boy's appearance into its mind... Then another light sigh surfaced in Roy's heart: "Ai... I met your brother..."
"Could it be that even you ultimately failed?"
Roy's pupils constricted violently. Looking at the skeleton again... the tightly closed gate blocked his view... Only the boy, Ging, Razor, and the others remained, staring blankly as... the mountain-like church disappeared inch by inch, like someone erasing pencil lead with an eraser... Using "De-Conjuration," turning reality into void, disappearing into the void...
Until it vanished completely.
Ging, Razor, Gotoh, and Elena looked at each other, just like the fake Ging who faced Roy's Sharingan and was hit by [Infinite Void], stunned on the seabed, unable to recover for a long time!
Crack~ Losing the church's protection, the protective film covering the seabed shattered instantly. Seeing the seawater pouring in... Ging forcibly regained consciousness. Relying on [Water Avoidance], he grabbed Elena and shouted to the group, "Not the time to space out, talk on the surface!"
Razor glanced discreetly at Roy, who was frowning in deep thought. He shot upward like a fish, following Ging's pace towards the sea surface...
Gotoh tucked the [Infinite Pistol] into his clothes and hurriedly pulled Roy. "Young Master, let's go."
The boy chewed repeatedly on the words "Ai," "Brother," "Failed." Thoughts flying, flashing...
Scenes of Nanika and his brother Alluka switching faces repeatedly in the original story... Taking a deep breath... he shot upward with Gotoh towards the sea surface...
Just then, panel notification...
[Notification... Elephant Tapir Racial Nen Ability extracted...]
