Chapter 387 Another Miracle
Chapter 387 Another Miracle
Seeing that the person he had fallen for had taken the first step to break the status quo, fueled by the lively atmosphere of the banquet and emboldened by alcohol, thus making up for the regret in the original story, Riley nodded in satisfaction, withdrawing his gaze from looking around and continuing to eat.
After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, Riley clapped his hands and stood up, the crisp sound attracting everyone's attention.
"Everyone, I'm happy to see you all so happy. However, as I mentioned before, as a return gift for those who 'freeloaded' me, I'll prepare a little 'surprise' for you all, and now is the perfect time," he said loudly, a mysterious smile on his face.
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at him curiously, whispering among themselves, wondering what amazing gift this all-powerful Spider-Man would bring out.
"Don't worry, the surprise is coming soon..."
Riley laughed and, in full view of everyone, casually grabbed the Imperial Belt as if by magic and put it on his waist. Then he raised his hand and made a sweeping motion in the air ahead.
"Buzz..."
A dimensional wall, entirely grayish-white in color and with a surface that rippled like liquid, appeared without warning and steadily in the open space in the center of the courtyard!
There was no violent energy impact, no deafening sound, only the mental shock caused to the crowd who had never encountered such supernatural power when the dimensional wall appeared out of thin air!
This amazing scene left everyone wide-eyed, and even the noise instantly subsided.
"Huh? What's that...?"
"A magic trick? Or some kind of new vampire magic?"
"Mr. Spider-Man, are you... going inside?"
"Well then, I'll be going now. See you all again someday!"
Under the puzzled, curious, and incredulous gazes of the crowd, Riley turned around, smiled at everyone, and then stepped into that bizarre and fantastical dimensional barrier.
The moment his figure disappeared, the entrance to the passage rippled like water, but did not close. Instead, it remained steadily open, as if waiting for something.
An eerie silence fell over the courtyard as everyone stared at the mysterious entrance to the passage, their minds filled with various speculations.
Not much time had passed, perhaps only the time it takes for a few dozen heartbeats, before the stable spacetime tunnel began to ripple noticeably again.
The first voice to come through was a gentle and familiar female voice, filled with barely suppressed excitement and a hint of uncertainty: "Is this... the safe place Mr. Spider-Man spoke of? It feels so lively!"
Immediately afterwards, a calm and peaceful male voice rang out, which made Teruya Ubuyashiki, who was in the main seat, and his two younger sisters beside him tremble violently and almost unable to breathe.
The voice was no longer weak, no longer accompanied by suppressed coughs, but was full of strength and gentle power: "Yes, Heavenly Voice. And... I can feel that the source of the curse that has plagued our race for thousands of years has completely disappeared. This is our headquarters, and look, everyone is celebrating our victory."
With a faint flash of light, several figures emerged side by side from the passageway, clearly exposed to the bright lights of the courtyard and the astonished gazes of the crowd.
The leader was none other than Kagaya Ubuyashiki, the current lord of the Demon Slayer Corps, who was supposed to sacrifice himself as bait in the recent decisive battle to maximize the morale of the Demon Slayer Corps and perish together with Muzan Kibutsuji!
It was this action that caused the Wind Pillar, who was in a state of rage, to subconsciously draw his sword and shout out the most classic line from Demon Slayer.
"What have you done to our lord?!"
Well, if Muzan hadn't been busy recovering his body and dealing with the threat from the Stone Pillar, he probably would have broken down on the spot because of the Wind Pillar's question and given him a thousand insults.
You mean, for me, the mighty Ghost King, to kill your lord, who is terminally ill and on the verge of death even without my intervention, I need to plant so many explosives beforehand, blowing him and his entire mansion to smithereens. Even my meticulously prepared bespoke suit was reduced to just my underwear?
Why don't you listen to what you're saying?!
Of course, Kagaya Ubuyashiki at this moment is completely different from the image that everyone remembers!
The terrible purplish-red scars that once clung to his face like a malignant tumor, constantly spreading and eroding his health, symbolizing a bloodline curse, have now vanished without a trace, revealing smooth and healthy skin.
His face was no longer sickly pale or deathly ashen, but radiated a healthy rosy glow.
His back was straight, his steps were steady, and his eyes, which always held wisdom and compassion, were now clear and bright, devoid of any trace of the gloom caused by illness, only a relieved peace and profound joy. His entire being radiated a long-lost, vibrant vitality!
Beside him was his beautiful and dignified wife, Ubuyashiki Amane.
At this moment, she was holding her husband's hand tightly, her face beaming with tears of happiness, as if she had been given a new lease on life.
Behind them followed their two daughters, one on each side, holding their parents' hands tightly, looking at the scene before them with curiosity and a little timidity.
"Father...Father?! Mother?!"
Teruya Ubuyashiki suddenly stood up from his seat, his small body trembling violently.
Since the start of the final battle in the Infinite City, the strong and composed image that he had been trying to maintain has completely crumbled at this moment.
He was still just a child. After witnessing his parents' "sacrifice" and being forced to take on the responsibility of commanding the entire Demon Slayer Corps overnight, he was filled with too much fear, pressure, endless grievances, and deep longing.
At this moment, seeing my parents, who should have passed away, not only appear before me unharmed, but also freed from the terrible curse that had plagued our family for thousands of years, miraculously returning in such a healthy and vibrant state.
He could no longer hold back, and tears streamed down his face like a burst dam. With a sob that almost broke his voice, he cried out the name that had been suppressed in his heart, a name he thought he would never have the chance to say again.
"Father! Mother!"
The same applies to the young master's two younger sisters, Hinata and Hina.
As the top support players during the final battle, they tried their best to maintain their composure and dignity. But at this moment, they were like children who had finally found their backbone and support. All their strong shells shattered instantly, and tears blurred their vision.
The moment they saw their parents appear, they, like their brother Kagaya, forgot all manners and the many teammates around them. Like children who had suffered endless grievances and finally saw their parents, they stumbled and knocked over the small table in front of them, running and falling into the arms of Ubuyashiki Kagaya and Lady Amane!
Kagaya Ubuyashiki opened his arms wide, his face filled with boundless love, heartache, and immense joy at having his children back, and caught them tightly as they rushed towards him.
Lady Tianyin, with tears in her eyes, embraced the children.
The family of seven formed a circle and embraced each other tightly.
The father's soft words of comfort, the mother's gentle caresses, and the children's suppressed sobs, a mixture of ecstasy and lingering fear, intertwined to create an incredibly moving and heart-stirring scene.
This miraculous reunion, transcending life and death, plunged the entire courtyard into a brief, profound silence, which was then followed by an unprecedented uproar!
"My...My Lord?! Lady Tianyin!!"
The Wind Pillar, Sanemi Shinazugawa, was the first to gasp in shock. He stood up abruptly, his usually fierce eyes now wide open, filled with absolute disbelief.
He had witnessed his lord's dying moments, felt the fragility of life like a candle flickering in the wind, and even saw his lord being "cruelly murdered by Muzan Kibutsuji"!
That is why the sight of his lord, now full of life and healthy again, had such a tremendous impact on his soul!
"Namo Amitabha Buddha... This... This is truly the Buddha's blessing... No, this is a miracle created by Spider-Man!"
The massive body of the Stone Pillar, Gyomei Himejima, trembled slightly, and two streams of hot tears flowed down his cheeks. But this time, the tears were not from sorrow, but from the ultimate joy and gratitude.
He clasped his hands together and bowed deeply towards the direction of the dimensional wall.
"My lord...you...your health..."
Water Column Tomioka Giyuu rarely showed his emotions, his voice trembling noticeably.
He could hardly believe his eyes.
The heavy guilt he felt for failing to arrive at the scene in time, which led to his lord's tragic death at the hands of Muzan Kibutsuji, was slightly alleviated at this moment because of this miracle.
"That's great...that's really great!"
Love Pillar Mitsuri Kanroji burst into tears instantly, her pink and green eyes filled with ecstasy. She tightly gripped Obanai Iguro's sleeve beside her, unable to contain her excitement.
Although the Serpent Pillar Obanai Iguro was still wearing bandages, his slight tilt of his head and flickering eyes revealed the intense turmoil within him.
"Our lord and the others are still alive! This is truly...!"
The Mist Hashira, Muichiro Tokito, whose eyes had been somewhat vacant, was now filled with shock.
As he muttered to himself, he had already secretly redefined his understanding of the upper limit of Spider-Man's abilities!
"What kind of divine power is this... Could it be that Mr. Spider-Man is truly a god who cannot bear the suffering of humankind, and has personally descended upon us?"
Sound Pillar Uzui Tengen embraced his wives, his face filled with amazement.
He originally thought that slaying the progenitor of demons was already an extremely magnificent feat.
But compared to this power to reverse life and death and break the curse, everything Riley had done before seemed insignificant!
Shinobu Kocho, the Insect Pillar, had tears welling in her amethyst-like eyes. She covered her mouth with her hand, her shoulders trembling slightly, filled with genuine joy at the reunion of her lord's family. As if sensing something, she stared intently at the dimensional barrier before her, a faint hope igniting within her heart at the miracle she had witnessed.
