Under the Transparent World, seeing at a glance the sa bloodline on the girl's body as her own, Mitsuba smiled and stepped forward, gently dropping the mandala flower in her hand.
"Poor little one, let send you a splendid dream."
The black flower fell upon the girl, silently rging into her body.
"From this mont forth, you shall beco my incarnation. Tsugikuni Mitsuba shall beco your sole na.
To share the sa na as your ancestor—what a surprising coincidence, is it not?
From this day forward, I shall borrow your eyes, borrow your body. I shall bestow upon you peerless talent, granting you all the virtuous qualities the world desires: wisdom, kindness, determination, composure, calmness, and decisiveness.
You shall beco my substitute in the daylight. Together we shall beco the savior that demon slayers yearn for, leading them toward the ending they desire.
May I obtain a splendid experience in this process, and may you, have a good dream."
As her words fell, Mitsuba took out another illustrated manual from her person, gently placing it into the girl's embrace.
This illustrated manual was originally compiled by Mitsuba several hundred years ago at Butterfly's request—a complete compilation of Breathing Styles, detailing the sword techniques of Sun, Moon, and the five basic Breathing Styles.
Unfortunately, due to various reasons, Mitsuba ultimately failed to deliver this manual.
Since then, this manual had remained in her possession. Never did she expect it would serve a purpose today...
"That's done. Everything has been arranged properly. Next, we just need to find a way to have a demon lead a demon slayer here, and everything will develop naturally."
"Holy Maiden, is this really enough? Do we truly not need to do anything else?"
Following Mitsuba's departing footsteps, looking back at that girl still sleeping in the cold wind, Doma asked curiously.
"Sir Doma, I have done what needed to be done.
I have already modified the karma on this child according to the script we designed together.
Believe , from this mont forth, her fate will be completely different from the past.
She is now my incarnation. Through that mandala flower within her body, I can control her thoughts and actions at any ti.
She, or rather... 'we,' will inevitably advance along that predetermined direction, becoming the 'Child of Destiny' that those demon slayers dream of. Truly sothing to look forward to."
Nowadays, Mitsuba's Blood Demon Art was no longer limited to the area around her body.
Through a single small mandala flower, she could completely open a new domain at any arbitrary location far from herself.
And at extre distances, remotely perceive all movents occurring within this domain, and manipulate all human karma threads within it.
And if Mitsuba integrated the mandala flower into a human's body, she could directly remotely control everything about that human—whether thoughts or actions—essentially turning that human into her puppet incarnation.
In other words, as long as Mitsuba was willing, she didn't even need to fight personally anymore.
She could completely remotely control a human infused with her talent and experience through her mandala flower to battle those demon slayers.
Even if these humans were killed, for Mitsuba it would rely be the loss of a puppet body. She could create another one at any ti.
The entire process would cause no damage whatsoever to her main body.
Moreover, because Mitsuba's mandala flower was deeply hidden within these humans' bodies, she didn't need to worry about her Blood Demon Art being broken due to direct sunlight exposure.
Undoubtedly, she had taken another step forward on the path to becoming a "god."
This was one of the new abilities Mitsuba had developed during these past two hundred years.
Yes, rely "one of them."
"Oh! Truly worthy of Holy Maiden! Easily accomplishing such inconceivable things!
But by directly interfering with that little girl's karma like this, won't you be detected by the gods?"
Still providing maximum emotional value, Doma asked curiously.
To this, Mitsuba rely smiled and explained:
"Sir Doma, I have said this many tis—the gods are not omnipotent. They do not know we are here at this mont.
Furthermore, what I used this ti was the 'Karmic Overwrite' ability.
I have completely covered that girl's original karma with new karma.
This is like giving her a perfect disguise. As long as my flower remains within that girl's body, in the gods' eyes, she is an utterly normal existence.
After all, my power and the gods' authority originate from the sa source, do they not?"
This was perhaps the most terrifying aspect of Mitsuba's "Karmic Overwrite."
Unlike her initial "Karmic Flower Plucking" that was easily detected and interfered with by the gods.
Mitsuba's Karmic Overwrite completely used new things to cover old things. Therefore, as long as she operated properly, she could completely conceal herself from the gods' detection.
Just like that farr back then, Mitsuba could now change a person's fate silently right under the gods' noses.
She was truly and genuinely advancing toward the realm of "god," constantly seizing authority that originally belonged solely to the gods.
Hmm, no wonder the gods regarded her as a thorn in their flesh...
"Alright~ The character has been selected, the 'protagonist' should take the stage.
Next, my main body will return to the Infinity Castle, remotely controlling this child's body from there.
Sir Doma, the script advancent from here on is entirely entrusted to you, yes?"
"No problem! Holy Maiden, please rest assured!"
"My my~ For hundreds of years, this is also my first ti experiencing the life of a demon slayer. Truly sothing to look forward to..."
Speaking thus, Mitsuba suddenly turned to look at the smiling Doma beside her, asking curiously:
"Speaking of which, Sir Doma, do you truly not plan to arrange a role for yourself in this drama as well?
As long as you wish, I can completely find a 'human body' for you. It's rely temporarily sharing out Blood Demon Art abilities—this small matter I can still accomplish..."
As her words fell, another black mandala flower condensed in Mitsuba's hand. She raised her hand, offering this flower to Doma.
Yes, this was the second new ability Mitsuba had developed during these past two hundred years.
Through this single small mandala flower, she could now share her Blood Demon Art abilities with others for use.
And this sharing had no restrictions. With Mitsuba's permission, the existence holding this mandala flower could completely use all Blood Demon Art abilities she had developed to date, except for "secondary sharing."
But it should be noted that all consumption from these uses was counted against Mitsuba, expending her physical strength.
"Thank you for Holy Maiden's concern, but compared to being an actor, I still prefer being a director."
Lowering his head to look at the mandala flower Mitsuba offered before him, Doma smiled and shook his head, declining.
"Is that so..."
Hearing this, Mitsuba slightly narrowed her eyes, but said nothing more. The mandala flower in her hand instantly dissipated.
"Alright then, as long as you're happy."
[Only wanting to observe, not wanting to participate... This guy's heart, is indeed still completely empty...]
[Damn it, how co everyone around is a 'problem child'...]
