Eating Avatars' Soft Rice Starting From Jujutsu Kaisen

An Xiu nodded at the system's response.

If that was the case, could he collect all of Sukuna's fingers from the original story, then cause each finger to spawn a Special Grade cursed spirit, and have Seele defeat them? By doing this, he could obtain all of Sukuna's rewards in advance.

Theoretically, it should be feasible, but An Xiu considered it and decided against it. After all, it would be much more convenient to wait until the villains had collected all of Sukuna's fingers before going to collect the rewards from Sukuna all at once.

"Alright, I've gotten all the points I could out of this outing. It's about time to head back."

After notifying Fushiguro Megumi and Kugisaki Nobara, who were waiting outside, to take the unconscious Itadori Yuji away, An Xiu eagerly returned to the apartment with Seele.

Besides the fact that it was raining outside and An Xiu didn't want to stay out, there was another reason: the discount section of the system mall was about to refresh.

Yes, from the moment he first transmigrated to this world, then materialized Seele and eliminated the cursed spirits near his residence, defeated Gojo Satoru, joined the Jujutsu World, and used its intelligence network to sweep through cursed spirits for nearly ten days, and then waited for half a month for the Reform School incident, only a few hours remained until the system mall, which refreshed monthly, would refresh again.

Around evening, An Xiu would be able to welcome new discounted goods.

Before that, he needed to tally up the points he had on hand.

"Initially, I received 10,000 points from the starter gift pack. After materializing Seele, I had 1,100 points remaining. Sweeping cursed spirits for a month, with an average daily income of 300 points. Three of Sukuna's fingers plus the Special Grade cursed spirits eliminated during the Special Grade assessment triggered a total of four rewards, earning 10,000 points. Adding the points gained from various leisurely activities, my total balance is 23,500 points."

"Even if no good discounted items are refreshed in the system mall this time, 23,500 points alone would be enough to create a decent avatar.

Thinking this, An Xiu, sitting on the bed in the apartment, reached out and pulled Seele, who was beside him, into his embrace, holding the girl's delicate body.

"Seele, tonight you'll have a new companion. Are you happy?"

"Mhm, Seele is very happy."

Seele, held in An Xiu's arms, smiled and nodded.

"Oh? Is it because you'll have a companion to share the pressure, so you won't have to earn money by yourself every day?"

"No, it's because if there's another companion, An Xiu-ge can be happier."

As she spoke, Seele showed a hint of guilt, and her tone grew a bit somber.

"Seele promised that she would let An Xiu-ge buy whatever he liked every day, eat whatever he wanted, and also let An Xiu-ge live in a bigger house and have a better life."

"But An Xiu-ge still has to live in this small apartment. Seele went to look at the big houses in the center of Tokyo. If we want to buy one, it might take a while longer..."

"I'm sorry, An Xiu-ge. Seele isn't working hard enough. Even though a new companion is coming, An Xiu-ge still has to live here. Am I very useless?"

Sensing the girl's dejected mood, An Xiu stroked Seele's head.

"Don't worry about the house. I'm quite comfortable living in this apartment. But I can make a promise to Seele: once you've saved enough to buy a new home, I'll give you a reward, how about that?"

"A reward?"

Seele raised her head curiously at his words, then An Xiu whispered something into her ear.

Instantly, Seele's cheeks turned red, and she lowered her head in flustered panic.

"Is... is that so? Seele will definitely work hard..."

Thus, several hours passed.

Inside the apartment, An Xiu sat with his eyes closed in the living room. Seele, at An Xiu's request, leaned against him, acting as a human pillow.

Yes, the kind with an excellent feel.

"Just three minutes left."

An Xiu opened the system's mall interface, his eyes fixed on the countdown timer in the discount section at the very top of the mall.

Time ticked by, and finally, the countdown reached zero. Three new items appeared in the discount section.

[Dominion of the Devil Authority] (50% off): 3000 points

[Authority of the Herrscher of Restraint] (70% off): 7000 points

[Word Spirit Technique] (30% off): 3000 points

"Dominion of the Devil Authority, that's a power from the Chainsaw Man worldview? Authority of the Herrscher of Restraint, this one is more familiar, it's from the Honkai series again, and it's one of those ridiculously powerful Herrscher authorities."

"As for this Word Spirit Technique... is it also from the Honkai series? But it's from Honkai: Star Rail. It's the same Word Spirit Technique that Kafka uses, no wonder it's priced the same as a Herrscher authority."

Looking at the discounted items that had refreshed in the mall, An Xiu was very satisfied and immediately purchased all three.

The Authority of the Herrscher of Restraint was self-explanatory; it was a very powerful ability. Judging by its performance in the original work, it could definitely be considered one of the strongest Herrscher authorities. Although the discount was only 30% off, it was definitely worth buying.

The Word Spirit Technique was even more so. In the Honkai: Star Rail worldview, where gods fought and could destroy planets or even galaxies at the drop of a hat, the Word Spirit Technique could still hold its own. In the Jujutsu world, An Xiu couldn't imagine anyone being able to resist this Kafka-equivalent Word Spirit Technique.

As for the Dominion of the Devil Authority, although its price point was the lowest among the three abilities, in An Xiu's opinion, it was actually the most crucial ability.

After all, the character he was about to materialize was closely related to this ability.

"System, if the avatar materialized based on my memory and impression has a non-human race, will it be materialized as the corresponding race?"

"Ding! If the materialized avatar belongs to a special race, it will retain the character's racial traits upon materialization and be considered a special ability (it can automatically adapt and integrate into various world systems, similar to abilities sold in the system mall), incurring additional point costs."

Having received the system's explanation, An Xiu slowly nodded.

"In that case, System, materialize the avatar."

Chapter Twenty-Four: New Avatar, Makima

A faint white light illuminated the apartment, and a tall figure, distinctly different from the Seele he had materialized before, slowly took shape before An Xiu.

She had medium-length, wine-red hair and wore a sharp, elegant ladies' suit that perfectly accentuated her attractive figure. Her light-golden eyes had circular patterns, seeming to draw people in, yet subtly exuding an air of authority like that of a superior. A perfectly placed smile graced her lips, making her seem approachable while simultaneously maintaining an intangible distance.

Without a doubt, this was the avatar An Xiu had manifested this time: Makima, the Devil of Domination.

"A pleasure to meet you, my Master."

Makima's gaze swept across the room, and upon spotting An Xiu, the smile on her lips widened. She walked forward a few steps and then, surprisingly, knelt before An Xiu on one knee.

"I am deeply honored to be the object of your manifestation this time."

Unlike Seele's address to An Xiu, Makima's current form of address was clearly more direct.

After all, according to the background arranged by the system, Seele and An Xiu had both come from the same orphanage in this world. After leaving, they had lived together, their relationship in the background story undoubtedly closer, hence Seele calling An Xiu "brother."

As for the current Makima, while manifesting her as an avatar, An Xiu had specifically spent some points to arrange a distinctly different identity for her compared to his and Seele's current circumstances. With her background having no relation to An Xiu himself, Makima directly addressed him as "Master."

The reason for specifically spending system points to arrange a special identity for Makima was naturally related to An Xiu's prior plans.

A month ago, as soon as he was invited to join the Jujutsu World by Gojo Satoru, An Xiu, having read the original Jujutsu Kaisen and knowing the nature of the Jujutsu World's higher-ups, had already begun preparing to manifest an avatar specifically to target them. This was to prevent himself from being disgusted by them in the future.

And now, the Makima manifested by An Xiu could undoubtedly serve as a powerful weapon against the higher-ups, allowing An Xiu to solve the problem of the Jujutsu World's elite once and for all.

Therefore, when manifesting the Makima avatar, An Xiu had not only spent extra points on the avatar's race but also specifically spent additional points on Makima's identity in this world, arranging for her to have an identity that would allow her to easily contact and secretly control the higher-ups of the Jujutsu World.

She was an elite sorcerer from a high-ranking family within the Jujutsu World, possessing the strength and certification of a Grade 1 sorcerer, and holding a significant position within the Jujutsu World.

It was also thanks to this identity that, even though An Xiu had not yet granted Makima the abilities he purchased from the system store, she still possessed the strength and cursed energy of a Grade 1 sorcerer.

Moreover, although her background was that of a sorcerer from a high-ranking Jujutsu World family, An Xiu had retained Makima's demonic racial characteristics from the Chainsaw Man worldview. Therefore, in this world, Makima's racial nature leaned more towards that of a cursed spirit, but not entirely.

After all, Makima had a tangible physical body. While her essence was closer to a curse, as long as she was careful, concealed her aura, and didn't reveal her identity, An Xiu estimated that no one in this world would be able to discover that Makima, who looked almost identical to a human, was actually a curse.

Furthermore, honestly speaking, the way devils are born in the Chainsaw Man worldview and the cursed spirits in the Jujutsu world, along with some other settings, were quite similar. As a devil, Makima could integrate into this world without any sense of dissonance.

"Makima, next, I'll grant you the abilities I purchased from the system store. Be ready."

As An Xiu spoke, he granted Makima the three abilities he had bought from the system store: the Dominion of the Devil Authority, the Authority of the Herrscher of Restraint, and the Word Spirit Technique.

Makima, at this moment, closed her eyes, carefully sensing the new abilities within her body.

Just like when Seele previously obtained the Herrscher of Life and Death Authority, the Authority of the Herrscher of Restraint, being of the Herrscher Authority series, caused Makima's cursed energy to surge at an incredibly terrifying rate the moment it was granted to her.

Coupled with the massive cursed energy that the Dominion of the Devil Authority brought to Makima after adapting to the Jujutsu world, Makima's cursed energy was now subtly surpassing Seele's.

As for the Word Spirit Technique, it was impossible to tell just by looking; someone would have to experience it firsthand.

"Regarding the plan against the Jujutsu World's higher-ups, you know about it, right?"

After bestowing the abilities purchased from the system store, An Xiu asked Makima.

In response, Makima nodded slightly.

As an avatar, Makima was naturally aware of An Xiu's intention to secretly control the Jujutsu World's higher-ups and completely turn the entire Jujutsu world into his personal garden.

"It won't be difficult for me to dominate those higher-ups in the Jujutsu World. I can start working on it once we return and slowly bring the entire Jujutsu World's elite under my control."

"At that time, the entire Jujutsu World will serve Master's will, and no one will dare to overstep."

Makima spoke in a detached tone.

She had no worries about successfully dominating the Jujutsu World's higher-ups. After all, even without considering the two trump cards, the Authority of the Herrscher of Restraint and the Word Spirit Technique, she was confident in completing the mission solely through the Dominion of the Devil Authority.

Knowing the original story, would anyone truly hold any reverence for those pedantic individuals who weren't particularly skilled and only engaged in internal power struggles within their own factions?

Once their weaknesses were exposed, how could such trash resist Makima's domination? Not to mention… she now had such a convenient identity.

"I look forward to your good news, Makima."

An Xiu nodded with satisfaction upon receiving Makima's reply.

Late at night, in Tokyo, a vintage-style Japanese courtyard.

A figure approached the courtyard gate. The guards standing on either side of the gate immediately greeted her.

"Lady Makima."

Makima, who had been in An Xiu's apartment not long ago, nodded faintly in response before entering the courtyard.

Unlike Seele, who lived directly with An Xiu in the background setting, Makima, according to her identity and background, had her own residence.

This massive courtyard, located in the most expensive district of Tokyo where land was priceless, was the ancestral home of Makima's high-ranking Jujutsu World family and where she resided according to her setting.

Chapter Twenty-Five: The Power of Restraint and Domination, Makima's Plan

Upon entering the courtyard, although it was late at night, numerous servants could still be seen moving about.

Makima walked through the front yard and after a few minutes reached the central area. Along the way, many people greeted her upon seeing her.

"Lady Makima, you're back."

"Yes. Is the family head here?"

Makima casually nodded to a servant and asked.

"The family head returned not long ago and is currently in the quiet room."

The servant did not dare to conceal anything and answered truthfully.

"The quiet room? I understand."

Nodding slightly to the other person, Makima changed direction and headed towards the location the servant had mentioned for the family head.

As a Grade 1 sorcerer, Makima's status and position were undoubtedly extremely high. As a result, there were no obstructions along the way, and she was able to meet the head of the family, a high-ranking figure in the Jujutsu World, without any hindrance.

"You've come to see me so late; is there something important to report?"

Inside the quiet room, upon seeing Makima's arrival, the family head, who had been meditating with his eyes closed, didn't show any signs of alertness. He simply asked casually.

After all, he deeply trusted and valued Makima, a family member who had become a Grade 1 sorcerer at such a young age. He was nurturing her as the cornerstone of his family, so he had no reason to suspect her at all.

Therefore, when Makima, who had entered the quiet room, closed the door and turned around, a golden chain extended from the void. The unsuspecting family head was instantly bound tightly by this golden chain.

"Makima! What are you... doing...?"

Facing such a sudden turn of events, the family head in the quiet room widened his eyes. Just as he was about to question her, he found that he couldn't muster the slightest bit of strength in his body.

He tried to circulate his cursed energy, but the cursed energy he usually wielded so skillfully couldn't be felt at all at this moment. He wanted to call for help, but he found that he was already losing the ability to even speak.

"What... is... this... Cursed Technique?"

With confusion filling his eyes as he looked at the golden chain wrapped around him, the family head tried to force himself to stay conscious, but his mind grew increasingly hazy.

What kind of Cursed Technique could make him this weak in such a short amount of time?

He had to remember that he himself was a Grade 1 sorcerer with considerable experience. Under normal circumstances, he could even contend with a Special Grade cursed spirit.

But now, he couldn't even break free from a single golden chain. Not only could he not break free, but he was about to lose consciousness.

Such a powerful Cursed Technique, when did Makima master it? As the family head, he actually had no idea.

Moreover, what was her purpose in subduing him? Why would she attack him, the family head?

At this moment, the family head was utterly bewildered, unable to fathom any reason for Makima to attack him. In the end, he could only fall into unconsciousness filled with doubt.
