Since the power pillar Saitama is busy trying his new outfit at night, the hero is excluded in the important gathering of the pillars.

And right now, the 9 pillars gather around inside the meeting room with master Kagaya and his 2 relatives. Sitting with the master at the floor inside the quiet room with lanterns glowing at the dark.

[Silence filled the room, slightly ringing their ears]

Kagaya in gentle tone says "Good evening children, thanks for your presence today, I have some important meeting for you all, it's about the alarming movement of Muzan Kibutsuji and then about mister Saitama.."

The pillars where just sitting obediently and listening to their master. They nodded and was waiting for the first discussion.

Kagaya looks at his children being obedient and behaving, a slight chuckle escape from his lip as he says "sorry for the surprising news about the announcement of the new pillar, so let's talk about him today, so children, feel free to express your opinions about mister Saitama..."

Kagaya was happy about Gyomei's opinion, the master then says "that's a huge compliment Gyomei, I'd say the same that he is the strongest in this era but I want to hear more about the rest..."

Tengen raised his left hand and says "that baldy has a lot of potential, maybe he can be stronger tomorrow or the next days by his strength alone, or maybe a month from what he is now, but I don't think he is a great swordsman on what I see him in person"

"You're wrong mister Tengen, he dueled with me in mount Natagumo and I was defeated, I'd say his swordsmanship is amateur but his reaction and counters are extremely accurate that you'll get impressed by exchanging sword strikes with him.." says the smiling Shinobu as she defends Saitama's battle experience.

Giyu also raised his hand as he says "not only that, he defeated Sanemi in a single punch while holding back and send him flying in the air, no human can ever do like that except him"

Tengen laughs boldly as he says "oh yeah, that was unexpected, I didn't knew Sanemi would be defeated by a holding back punch from that baldy...."

"Tsk...." Sanemi make a muttering noise and looks away as he remember the time he was humiliated by Saitama. He just shrug it off as he admitted Saitama is a powerful ally to him.

Mitsuri in a happy look says "I'd say the same! I was so shock that he is powerful than me or even some of us! But I'm also glad we got someone powerful that we can rely on!"

Rengoku smiles brightly to the pillars as he says "He may have the power to draw them! He and that kid will be the hope of the demon king's demise!"

Obanai comments "That baldy meets the demon king for the first time, but I'm pretty sure he can hold his own or maybe defeat the demon king if he can master his swordsmanship and meet him again for the second time.."

Tokito while looking expressionless says "I'd agree with the others, that baldy I came interest because of his abnormal strength, not to mention he sliced up a mountain in half which is impressive and hard to believe.."

[Chatter of the pillars continue]

Kagaya chuckled at them as he responded in gentle and soothing tone "children, I'm glad you see mister Saitama that way, I hope the rest of you will be friends with him, I'm just glad you view him now as a trusted ally...."

Kagaya added "he is also the reason why some of the hostages in Mount Natagumo were saved, thanks to him, there are less casualties..."

Kagaya sighed in relief, he then changes topic.

"Now let's talk about the alarming movement of Muzan Kibutsuji and the decreasing numbers of our families..." Says the smiling Kagaya while being serious on the topic.

Kagaya begins to discuss about the decreasing rate of the demon movement, and Muzan's appearance which is alarming to them.

They plan to prepare countermeasures on the upcoming event which the pillars are ready for the worst.

Meanwhile. (Speed up scenes)

At the infinity castle..

[Area, rooms, shifting and shaking sounds]

This place is so huge and confusing, the environment is the same in the Tsuzumi Mansion but the feeling is different as the place shifts and rearranges because of the demon controlling the castle.

Her name was Nakime, the biwa woman who plays the instrument to manipulate the castle at her will.

[Biwa sound]

Nakime plays her instrument twice, making a sound and teleporting the 5 lower moons at the corresponding area.

Enmu in confused look thinks "Huh, why are we here? If we are here that means...."

Enmu just realized the situation as he says "...that means a lower moon was defeated....?"

[Biwa instrument sound, teleporting them together at one spot]

The 5 lower moons, originally they are 6 but since Rui was defeated, there are only 5 of them.

The lower demons realized something, that this meeting only appears once in their lifetime, but today this is the second time..!

The 6 lower moons:

Lower Moon One: Enmu

Lower Moon Two: Rokuro

Lower Moon Three: Wakuraba

Lower Moon Four: Mukago

Lower Moon Five: Rui (dead)

Lower Moon Six: Kamanue

Kyogai was a former lower moon
six, but was kicked out by Muzan Kibutsuji because of his growth limit.

Wakuraba was looking at his fellow demons while thinking: "this only appears if our master has an urgent meeting, so that means some of us was defeated..."

The demons look at the figure above them, it was a beautiful pale woman staring strictly at them, with a glare and a different scent.

Wakuraba in his mind: "who's this woman...? Why does she stand mighty to us? And where's our master?"

But that pale woman was Muzan Kibutsuji disguising himself.

Muzan speaks in strict and dead tone "kneel before me, inferior servants...!"

Hearing the commanding tone of their master, the lower moon demons immediately kneel to their master in nervous, scared and obedient behavior.

Kamanae in nervous look while dripping in sweat: "sh*t! I didn't recognized him because of his different scent!"

Mukago with scared expression while kneeling down, express in her mind: "my apologies master, I didn't recognized your appearance....!"

Muzan read their thoughts as he glares at them with dead and scary aura "did I ask you to have the authority to talk to me, kneel down to my power! You have no right to judge my appearance...!"

Muzan looks at their scared behavior as they kneel down, Muzan in scary tone says "Rui was defeated by a pillar...did I just made this lower moon category just for a show? Why not all of you defeat a single pillar? I only see upper moons defeating pillars with ease, but how about the lower moons!?"

Kamanue while overthinking: "it's because we lack power.."

But Muzan can read Kamanae's thoughts: "lack of what? Is it power!? Or just being coward!? You remind me of that baldy trying to act tough....!"

Kamanue was shocked as he realized his master can read minds "he can read my mind!??? And who's the baldy he was referring to...? Was it the udon guy at the Asakusa Tokyo?"

Muzan grit his teeth in anger as he responded "Ofcourse I can read your mind, you inferior demons always act so tough yet can't match a human wielding a sword who can't even regenerate...how disappointing..I'm talking to someone else, not a nobody civilian!!"

Muzan's left arm transformed into a monstrous worm-like limb that grabs Kamanue's body upward, lifting the demon up

Kamanue was terrified as he plead while crying in agony "I'm sorry master! Please forgive my rudeness! I'm not a coward I'm also trying to do my best!! Please grant me last chance to prove I am worthy--"

[Sound of flesh getting eaten]

[Blood dripping at the floor]

The lower moons were speechless, frozen in fear as they see their comrade getting eaten infront of them.

The blood splatters in their bodies, dirtying their clothes but no one flinches because they are scared.

Mukago shiver in fear still kneeing down, frozen in fear, she carefully thinks since she can

Wakuraba in his mind: "sh*t, am I gonna get killed here!? I don't want to die yet, I got more plans today, I will do my best to survive here...maybe I can ask master to kill the baldy that he hates, yes that's right, I'll try to ask about that..."

Muzan in strict expression looks at them as he says "so what about the others? Why some of you are fleeing when you see a pillar? Are you all afraid to battle one? Is this how I make the lower moon and give blood for free? Did you even know why I hate scums!?"

Mukago expresses her thoughts as she says "master, allow me to battle that baldy! Grant me this chance and I'll deliver his head to you...!"

Muzan glares at Mukago with a serious look, later he responded "but why did you flee after seeing a pillar? I saw you fleeing....did you really think I didn't observe each of your movements?"

Mukago let out a nervous gasp and tries to defend herself "n-no! It's not like I'm fleeing it's because the pillar....."

She hesitated and was mentally blocked

But Muzan helps her put out words "it's because you think you are weak, correct?"

Mukago in scared look shakes head while extremely nervous "n-no! I swear I didn't run away just being coward! I'll prove to you--"

"This is why I hate scums such as you....now die..." Muzan's worm-like arm attacked her in the blink of an eye, munching her flesh and killing her.

[Munching sounds of Muzan's monstrous limb]

[Muzan's monstrous limb burping]

Rukoro was terrified, he try to win and to save himself by acting tough and being confident he can convince his master "master I can win against that Baldy! Just grant me more blood! And I'll bring his body! Alive! Yes I'll bring him alive!!"

Muzan interrupted "why are you ordering me? Did you think I would give you free blood with your kind of confidence and bold actions? Insolent servant..."

[Muzan's monstrous limb attacks Rukoro and eats him alive]

Only Enmu and Wakuraba are left.

"Now how about the two of you!?" Muzan glares at the two remaining demons.

Wakuraba looks at Enmu who remained silent, still kneeling down, Wakuraba made his mind

Wakuraba in his mind: "there's nothing I can convince my master, so the only way to escape death is...."

[Jump sounds, thudding sounds in the floor]

Wakuraba tried to escape by leaping off and running away at the different shifting areas. His movements was insane as he leaps and leaps from different areas as if confusing the demons.

Enmu smiling at his fellow demon trying to escape: "stupid...."

Wakuraba while running away: "I'll escape! If I manage to escape, I'll try to defeat the baldy that my master mentioned and prove that I am worthy to be alive!!"

[Biwa sounds]

As Nakime played the biwa, Wakuraba found himself headless and his head was on the leash from Muzan's hand. Wakuraba's head spills blood from his neck non stop, his regeneration didn't help him stop the bleeding.

The bodiless Wakuraba in shocked expression: "what happened? I didn't see what happened....my body won't regenerate...am I gonna die like this....?"

After awhile, Muzan looks at the remaining lower moon which is Enmu.

"Now, you are the last one, any last words?" Says the strict and serious Muzan while holding Wakuraba's head.

The bodiless Wakuraba was thinking like: "our life depends at master's mercy, if he's in a bad mood, you are done...it's like a wife dominating her husband..."

Enmu smiles in satisfaction, he grin and express his happiness getting killed "oh it's a pleasure to get killed infront of my master! I have no regrets if I am getting killed by my glorious master, as long as my master is satisfied!"

Muzan was just examining his behavior but later he was amused and interested of Enmu's potential.

Muzan smirks as he says "very well, I like your attitude, as a reward I'll give you a moderate amount of my blood, but the question, can you even endure the pain?"

[Muzan's arm transform into a nail like needle then injects Enmu in the neck with a blood]

Enmu quiver in pain, yet he is smiling, his vein bulges as the red blood of Muzan enters his body, mutating him a bit, a surge of power overflows Enmu's body as he feels more powerful than before.

Enmu drops in the floor and survived, his body is still paralyzed as he involuntary jerk from pain. The blood reaction is so strong it makes his muscle paralyzed.

[Enmu coughing blood and grunting from pain]

Muzan smiles widely as he is impressed of Enmu's endurance

"Good, I'll put you into an important mission, defeat the baldy that I am about to imprint my memory to your brain, and kill the brat with hanafuda earrings, and if you succeed, I'll give you more of my blood" Muzan glares and orders Nakime to send Enmu outside the infinity castle.

Muzan send some memory signals to Enmu's brain, Enmu pictured out Saitama and Tanjiro's appearance "I see....that baldy....and then that brat....I'll kill them and make my master proud....!"

Nakime plays her
