Living Off Avatars from Jujutsu Kaisen

"Can a single chain of restraint instantly render an veteran Grade 1 sorcerer powerless to resist?"

Feeling the old family head's aura weaken under the golden chain's binding, to the point where he would likely lose his life within seconds, Makima recalled the chain and walked up to him.

Chains of Restraint was an ability Makima developed by utilizing the Herrscher of Restraint's authority, referencing the Herrscher of Restraint Core from the Honkai World to create the eleventh Divine Key, Judgement.

It wasn't a particularly powerful skill, at best only another way to utilize the Herrscher of Restraint's authority besides activating the Restraint Barrier. Strictly speaking, it was more like a basic attack. However, because Makima directly used the Herrscher's authority rather than the Divine Key, the power and effect of the Chains of Restraint were even stronger than those released by Judgement.

Even so, it was an exceptionally powerful ability within the Jujutsu World.

A single chain could instantly strip a Grade 1 sorcerer of all ability to resist. Ordinary Special Grade cursed spirits wouldn't fare much better; a single chain was enough to subdue them with ease.

As for more powerful Special Grade cursed spirits and Special Grade sorcerers, it would depend on the situation.

However, even for sorcerers and curses like Gojo Satoru or the twenty-fingered Sukuna, whose power was leagues above other Special Grades, Makima estimated she would only need three or four chains to deprive them of their ability to resist.

After all, while the binding power of the Chains of Restraint couldn't compare to directly activating the barrier, it was still incredibly potent.

As for the upper limit on the number of chains Makima could summon?

Makima made an internal estimate. In her normal state, it was probably a few hundred to a few thousand. If she were to act seriously and with full power, she wouldn't use chains but the Restraint Barrier.

A Restraint Barrier with a maximum expansion radius of 100 kilometers, even when facing Gojo Satoru or the twenty-fingered Sukuna, using this move would still be considered too much "respect" for them.

"Then, next..."

Activating the Dominator Devil's authority, Makima gazed at the family head, a high-ranking figure in the Jujutsu World, who lay on the ground. His eyes at this moment were chillingly indifferent.

Without any surprise, in just an instant, Makima brought the individual under her domination.

Under the Dominator Devil's authority, all dominated subjects would absolutely obey Makima's every command. Additionally, Makima could freely use the abilities of those she dominated.

The prerequisite for dominating someone was that Makima had to genuinely feel, deep down, that the other person was inferior to her, placing herself in a superior position.

Once the domination relationship was formed, unless Makima herself chose to relinquish it, the dominated individual could almost never escape Makima's control.

Of course, as mentioned before, behind every powerful ability there is a need for magnitude and output to support it. Even the Dominator Devil's authority, which didn't come with any discounts and only cost 6,000 points, was destined to lose its effectiveness when facing entities whose magnitude exceeded the threshold.

However, in this Jujutsu World, there was clearly no one capable of achieving that.

Now, having dominated the family head, a high-ranking figure in the Jujutsu World, Makima naturally also acquired the family head's Cursed Technique. However, Makima wasn't particularly interested in it.

There were only a few techniques in the entire Jujutsu World that could be considered interesting, and the one before her clearly wasn't among them.

"A pity, it's rather late today, so I can only dominate one high-ranking Jujutsu World official for now."

"However, with the help of one high-ranking official, it will be much easier to dominate other high-ranking officials in the Jujutsu World."

"And not just high-ranking officials in the Jujutsu World, but also some high-ranking officials in the human world. Master should find them useful."

An Xiu wanted to turn the Jujutsu World into his personal garden, but Makima thought that since the conditions allowed it, why not work a little harder and turn the entire country of Japan into An Xiu's garden? Wouldn't that be better?

Chapter Twenty-Six: Gojo Satoru's Surprise, Makima, the New High-Ranking Jujutsu World Official

Tokyo, Jujutsu High School.

It was noon, and the sun was shining brightly. Students from various years at Jujutsu High were engrossed in intense training.

The reason for this was that they were preparing for the upcoming Inter-school Exchange Event.

Kyoto Jujutsu High School and Tokyo Jujutsu High School, as the two major institutions for nurturing young sorcerers in the Jujutsu World, naturally had a degree of rivalry. Therefore, when students from both schools met, it wouldn't simply be a matter of sitting down for tea and chatting.

Both sides were composed of young and spirited new-generation sorcerers. When they met, they would naturally want to compete and prove themselves, in other words, to fight.

This was the true purpose of the so-called Inter-school Exchange Event: to gather young sorcerers from both schools for a friendly spar and competition.

To shine brightly at the exchange event, one had to at least ensure they weren't completely humiliated by the students from the opposing school, which naturally required strength.

"No... I can't... I feel like I'm so exhausted I'm about to die..."

"Rest, I need to rest!"

Seeing Itadori Yuji and Kugisaki Nobara, two of the first-year trio, lying on the ground exhausted and disregarding their appearance, Panda, who was instructing the juniors, couldn't help but scratch his head.

"Even if you say that, it's normal to be tired during training. Being tired now will mean less danger when you face stronger cursed spirits in the future."

Zenin Maki and Inumaki nodded in agreement beside him.

"Exactly, exactly. Sweat more during training, bleed less when facing cursed spirits. Besides, how can getting stronger be easy? Stop dreaming."

"Salmon."

Just then, a voice came from not far away.

"Yo, everyone looks very energetic, full of drive. I'm very pleased, teacher."

"Gojo-sensei?"

Seeing Gojo Satoru walking towards them with a smile, the students from various years couldn't help but look puzzled.

"Didn't you say you were going on a business trip? Why are you back so soon?"

Gojo Satoru waved his hand dismissively.

"The matters over there were handled long ago. I heard that some situation has occurred in Tokyo recently, so I specifically came back."

"What kind of situation in Tokyo would make Gojo-sensei rush back like this? Could it be another Special Grade cursed spirit has appeared?"

Itadori Yuji, lying on the ground, sat up and asked curiously.

"It's not about cursed spirits. It's about the Jujutsu World recently promoting a new executive in Tokyo."

"Just promoting a new executive requires you, Teacher Gojo, to personally return?"

"Under normal circumstances, no, but this time it's a bit different."

Gojo Satoru said casually.

"Not only is the new executive they've promoted incredibly young, but they're also fully in charge of managing most of Tokyo's sorcerer-related affairs. That kind of authority is quite significant, even within the Director's Office."

"Huh? Fully in charge of most of Tokyo's sorcerer-related affairs? Doesn't that mean even you, Teacher Gojo, and Principal Yaga have to listen to her?"

Being fully in charge of most of Tokyo's sorcerer-related affairs was itself a terrifying amount of power. Considering the Director's Office was also in Tokyo, it meant that most of the Director's Office's affairs were likely managed by this person in the vast majority of cases.

Good heavens, when did the Jujutsu World get such a powerful figure above them without them even knowing? And if Teacher Gojo's words were anything to go by, this person seemed to be quite young?

Gojo Satoru wasn't surprised by his students' looks of disbelief. In fact, he himself had been shocked for quite a while when he first received the news.

No one knew better than him what kind of people those higher-ups in the Jujutsu World were. Those stuffy old fools acted as if giving up even a sliver of their power to make way for younger people was akin to losing their lives. Did a group like that suddenly have a change of heart, deciding they should make way for the youth and promote a new executive?

Therefore, Gojo Satoru's first reaction was that the higher-ups had finally all collectively lost their minds.

So, immediately after returning to Tokyo, Gojo Satoru went to find the various higher-ups in the Jujutsu World who were in Tokyo. However, to his surprise, all of them acted perfectly normally.

Their speech and mannerisms were just like before, and even with his Six Eyes, he couldn't find any issues.

This meant that the higher-ups' promotion of this new person was seemingly their own decision?

At this point, even with Gojo Satoru's extensive experience over the years, he couldn't help but feel a sense of doubt.

Could it be that these old geezers had genuinely had a change of heart, realizing that the current Jujutsu World was too stagnant, and had decided to start promoting young people?

Was the new era he had been hoping for and working towards finally showing signs of arriving?

Unconsciously, Gojo Satoru developed a trace of interest in the person who had been promoted.

Her name was Makima, he recalled. He seemed to remember her as a very shrewd and capable Grade 1 sorcerer, someone quite different from those corrupt higher-ups in the Jujutsu World.

Now that she had been promoted to an executive position in the Jujutsu World, regardless of what the original higher-ups might have intended, the outcome should bring some new vitality to the Jujutsu World. Perhaps he could even try to cooperate with her to change the current state of the Jujutsu World together.

However, Gojo Satoru wasn't in a hurry to meet her. After all, he had heard that during the upcoming Inter-school Exchange Event, she seemed interested in observing the strength of the current younger generation in the Jujutsu World, and there would be an opportunity to interact then.

Tokyo, Jujutsu Headquarters, an office.

"Lady Makima, it's already lunchtime."

A person dressed as a secretary pushed open the office door and spoke to Makima, who was busy working.

Hearing this, Makima set aside a document she had finished processing and looked up at the current time.

"Is it that late already? You've worked hard too. Go get your lunch break early."

After seeing off the secretary, Makima stood up and headed out.

Along the way, many people respectfully greeted Makima, looking at her departing back with gazes filled with admiration and yearning.

It had been a week since Makima was promoted to an executive position in the Jujutsu World. In this past week, Makima had successfully won over all the staff at the Director's Office with her astonishing capabilities and conscientious attitude.

After all, the previous higher-ups in the Jujutsu World were simply too incompetent. Compared to them, Makima, who could manage and arrange the work for the entire Director's Office and all sorcerers in Tokyo in an orderly fashion, was also considerate of her subordinates, and possessed striking good looks, naturally appeared perfect. In a very short period, she had become the ideal superior in everyone's eyes.

Chapter Twenty-Seven: Seele and Makima's 'Reward'

Leaving the Director's Office, Makima headed towards Tokyo's city center.

More than half a month had passed since the day she was materialized. During this time, Makima had successfully dominated nearly half of the higher-ups in the Jujutsu World, and the remaining half were also progressing steadily.

Currently, in the Tokyo area alone, Makima could already operate with impunity. Except for Jujutsu High, almost all the higher-ups in Tokyo had fallen.

Although the higher-ups in Kyoto were somewhat surprised by Makima's promotion, they simply believed she had gained the recognition of the major families among Tokyo's Jujutsu World executives and did not perceive the truth of the matter.

Therefore, it was only a matter of time before the higher-ups in Kyoto also fell.

As long as she successfully controlled the Jujutsu World executives in the two major regions of Tokyo and Kyoto, she would essentially control the entire Jujutsu World, with at least over ninety percent of the higher-ups falling under Makima's domination.

During the period Makima was steadily dominating the higher-ups of the Jujutsu World, besides An Xiu's plan to turn the Jujutsu World into his personal garden progressing steadily, she had also provided An Xiu with considerable points.

After all, Makima's actions in dominating the Jujutsu World for An Xiu could also trigger rewards according to the system's judgment.

1000 points were rewarded for dominating each Grade 1 sorcerer, 200 points for Grade 2, and 50 points for Grade 3.

This was roughly equivalent to double the points of corresponding-level cursed spirits.

As higher-ups in the Jujutsu World, the vast majority of them possessed some strength, with most being Grade 1 sorcerers. Therefore, during this period, Makima had successfully provided An Xiu with nearly thirty thousand points.

Such a large sum of points was an unexpected joy, so An Xiu specifically contacted Makima, asking her to return when she had time, as he intended to give her a 'reward'.

Makima wore a wry smile at her master's capricious request, but she couldn't do anything about it.

After all, who was she to deny her master?

Her master, An Xiu, only needed to enjoy himself. For a clone like herself, there were many things to consider.

Arriving at a high-end residential area in Tokyo's city center, Makima stopped in front of a detached villa.

This was the new house that Seele had just bought for her master a few days ago. Therefore, it was highly likely that Seele would also receive a share of today's 'reward'.

Using the Dominator Devil's authority, Makima manipulated several birds to circle the area around the villa. After confirming there were no trackers nearby, she took out a key, opened the door, and went inside.

Upon entering, Makima saw An Xiu sitting on the spacious sofa in the living room, and Seele busy in the kitchen, bringing dishes to the dining table.

"Makima, you're back."

An Xiu spoke as soon as he saw Makima push the door open.

"Yes, Master, I'm back."

Clearly understanding her master's intentions, Makima replied as she slowly approached An Xiu's side.

"Sit."

At An Xiu's invitation, Makima sat next to him. He then reached out and pulled her into his embrace.

Feeling his restless hands moving over her body, Makima gazed at An Xiu with her dark golden eyes.

"Is this the reward Master mentioned?"

"What, you don't like it?"

"As long as it's Master, I'll like whatever you do. After all, everything I have was given by you."

"So, Master, feel free to be a little bolder. This much isn't much of a reward."

Makima placed her hands on An Xiu's shoulders, leaning her entire body against his chest.

Feeling the softness pressing against him, An Xiu's heart grew warmer.

Ever since his transmigration, he had been restraining himself for quite some time. Naturally, An Xiu had thoughts about Seele and Makima. The reason he hadn't made a move on them initially was just to give them time to adapt.

Now that Makima was being so proactive, he wasn't some impotent man. After all, if he could refuse such a beautiful woman's invitation, he might as well not have the thing below.

Of course, An Xiu was also quite greedy. One Makima wouldn't satisfy him, so
