Chapter 40 - Chapter 40: Hope? No, it's despair! Die as a human.

[The city's buildings appeared particularly oppressive under the gloomy weather, with towering structures and massive stone tablets, speaking of loneliness and helplessness.

Under the shroud of dark clouds, the entire world seemed to plunge into darkness.

The howling wind struck the windows, like a heartbroken melody, making it impossible to calm down.

Pedestrians on the street, holding torches and shouting despair and sorrow, had never faced the abyss of fear directly... they only watched.

Step by step, pushing people into the abyss... When Rentaro Satomi arrived, a layer of white mist drifted in the valley, and a chaotic pile of corpses formed a mountain of flesh and blood.

And in the deepest part, a small, lonely figure lay there, covered in blood.]

[Sengoku: "What a tragic battle! Could this have been done by that child alone?!"

[Orochimaru: "Although it's hard to believe, the truth is, there's nothing else around except the Gastrea corpses."

[Ash: "How awful! To leave this little girl all alone here!"

[Tsunade: "Haven't you realized yet? The people here don't see these girls as humans; in their eyes, these girls are monsters, mere tools."

[Kamado Tanjiro: "No matter what, please save that girl quickly!"

Demon Slayer World.

"That's great! Mr. Satomi made it!" Tanjiro was so excited that tears welled up in his eyes.

Seeing this girl, who was the same age as his sister, having to face such terrifying monsters, Rentaro Satomi's heart trembled uncontrollably.

But thankfully... she survived, she survived!

But... in the next moment, Tanjiro's expression froze on his face...

["Why didn't you run away?" Rentaro Satomi stood before the girl and asked silently.

"I was caught," Senju Kase responded weakly.

"Didn't you say you'd run away once you were at a disadvantage?" Rentaro Satomi retorted.

"Mr. Satomi, where is Mr. Kisaki?" The girl's small face was covered in blood, her entire right arm was torn to shreds, and blood soaked half of her clothes.

That was her partner.

"...He's fine," Rentaro Satomi was stunned, his eyes darting away.]

[ Uzumaki Naruto: "Why are you still chatting here! Quick, save her! Isn't she your comrade!"]

[ Kakashi: "Sacrificing oneself for the greater good... a hero."]

[ Kaname Madoka: "She's already so severely injured, she should be sent to the hospital first."]

[ Kisaragi Kusanagi: "...Hospitals don't accept Cursed Children."

in the myriad worlds, everyone was stunned by Kisaragi Kusanagi's words. They hadn't expected that Cursed Children had no human rights, but would they even refuse to help a fighting hero?

What was the point of that girl killing all the monsters and holding on until now?!

...Fallen Angel World

"Hey... Gabriel, you must be joking," Satania said with a chuunibyo laugh, hands on her hips, "Even the Great Demon Lord Satania wouldn't do something so terrifying!"

Satania looked at the most outstanding representative of the angel world with anxious and expectant eyes.

Gabriel didn't speak, even somewhat afraid to look into Satania's innocent eyes.

"...Perhaps."

...Fate World

Fourth Holy Grail War Era

"To actually place hope on a group of children," Emiya Kiritsugu's face showed an expression of incomprehension.

He didn't understand what the adults in that world were doing.

Facing a world crisis, they only raised banners of anger?

"Such tender children..." Artoria's eyes flashed with heartache. She already knew this girl's fate... No need to fear, as a hero, she could die proudly even if not understood... Her holy blue eyes drooped slightly, but the next moment, a scene in the picture suddenly made this King's eyes widen!

[At the end of light and shadow, the girl finally reached that distant end.

Grotesque and eerie cells emerged from her broken arm; the Gastrea virus's invasion rate had already exceeded 50%... The more she used this power, the faster the invasion rate would become.

There was no fear, no ugly struggle; the girl calmly accepted this fact.

A hint of relief seemed to appear on the girl's face as she softly said, "Please let me die as a human."

Her pale face was stained with dark blood, but there was not a ripple of emotion.]

[ Uzumaki Naruto: "W-Why can she say such things so easily! It's a joke, right? She can definitely live! What 'as a human,' what a joke!"]

[ Maidang: "Damn it! Don't give up! Those who believe in miracles are as amazing as miracles themselves! You have to live!!!"]

[ Kamado Tanjiro: "No, no, no... It must be fake. Why can she say such things so calmly! Live! The world is truly beautiful!"]

[ Emiya Shirou: "As long as there's life, there's hope! She'll definitely be cured!"]

...Demon Slayer World

"What... what 'as a human,' every life is so precious," Tanjiro knelt on the ground, tears streaming uncontrollably from his eyes.

At this moment, he clearly realized the girl's situation.

Discrimination, fear, hatred, disgust.

Tanjiro suddenly thought of himself and Nezuko. Ever since becoming a demon, everyone had treated them with baseless malice, chasing, threatening, fearing, hating... And these girls had been like this since birth; no one would trust them, no one would love them.

Were they... living in hell...!

...Fallen Angel World

"I don't want to die, I don't want to die!"

"Satania is just stupid, not foolish!" the girl cried out with a choked voice, "I saw it! I clearly saw 'wanting to live' written in her eyes!!!"
