Eating Avatars' Soft Rice Starting from Jujutsu Kaisen

"So the ones who attacked us before were all Special Grade curses?"

Upon hearing Makima's words, Mitsurugi Kasumi and Momiji Nishinomiya instinctively shivered.

No wonder they were no match for them; they had been surrounded and attacked by three Special Grade curses.

Suddenly, the two girls felt a sense of having survived a disaster.

If Makima hadn't arrived in time, even if they were lucky enough to survive, they probably wouldn't have ended up well.

"We understand, Makima-sama. We'll leave as soon as possible."

Feeling that she could barely channel cursed energy again, Momiji Nishinomiya picked up the broom she had dropped earlier. Mitsurugi Kasumi, standing beside her, wanted to see if she could salvage her samurai sword, but after seeing that even the fragments were corroded beyond recognition, she could only give up with a heartbroken expression.

"You can leave the forest by following this path. The barrier outside won't stop you from entering or exiting."

Makima's voice reminded them.

"Yes, then we wish Makima-sama success in your future endeavors."

With a final blessing, the two girls departed: one flew in the air on her broom, circulating her cursed technique, while the other limped on the ground, walking towards the outside of the forest.

Watching their receding figures, Makima's expression gradually calmed. She then turned and headed towards another battlefield in the distance.

She wasn't surprised by the situation of the three Cursed Womb Death Paintings appearing here. After all, not long ago, a jujutsu world executive she controlled had inexplicably died, and after death, had used their authority and certain means to steal Cursed Womb Death Paintings number one to three. She knew all about it, but simply didn't care.

She didn't even care about the incident where Mahito attacked the Jujutsu High higher-ups today. After all, even if Sukuna's fingers were stolen, they would eventually end up being eaten by Itadori Yuji in a different way. The whereabouts of the fingers were irrelevant.

Her goal from the very beginning had only been to find a way to bring the Herrscher of Binding, who could manipulate space and time, into this world. She wanted to obtain the ability of time manipulation possessed by the Herrscher of Existence, which was rumored to be able to rewrite history, and to fully awaken her own potential.

For this, she needed a perfect opportunity, an opportunity that could allow her to fully fight the Herrscher of Binding.

And the Four Disaster Cursed Spirits were chess pieces capable of creating such an opportunity.

Although the three brothers from the Cursed Womb Death Paintings could also be used, their effect might not be as good as the Disaster Cursed Spirits.

"I need to hurry. I hope Seele-chan goes easy on them."

BOOM!!!

The small body, containing an abnormally large amount of cursed energy, slammed into the ground like a cannonball. Leaking Pot had lost count of how many times it had healed its body.

It stood up from the ground and looked at the girl holding a scythe before it. This cursed spirit, born from humanity's fear of the earth, the strongest among the Four Disaster Cursed Spirits, had a ferocious expression. Its large, single eye was now covered in blood vessels.

"Why, why would a mere human be stronger than us cursed spirits? We are just a group of hypocritical and ugly beings!"

As it spoke, Leaking Pot gathered all its cursed energy, and the surrounding temperature instantly soared, igniting the trees in the intense heat.

The lava in the volcano on its head became even more turbulent. In the next second, a thick pillar of fire erupted, instantly piercing everything within hundreds of meters, leaving behind a path filled with lava.

Hanami, who had recovered nearby, felt sorrow for the destruction of the forest, but at this moment, it couldn't afford to care. Countless thick branches burst forth from the earth, sweeping towards Seele, who had dodged Leaking Pot's attack.

Swish!

With a swing of the scythe, all the attacking tree branches were cut in half.

At the same time, Seele dodged Leaking Pot's sneak attack from the side and kicked the cursed spirit away again, sending it crashing heavily to the ground.

At this point, both Leaking Pot and Hanami realized that the human before them seemed to be deliberately holding back. They had had several opportunities to heavily injure them with their weapons, but in the end, they only forced them back.

This behavior was almost as if they were deliberately trapping them here for amusement.

"Damn human, are you humiliating us?!"

Facing Seele, who stood casually in the distance, seemingly not taking them seriously at all, Leaking Pot gritted its teeth in anger.

But the more this was the case, the more they couldn't lose their reason. Leaking Pot forced itself to calm down and think about the meaning behind the human's actions.

They wouldn't allow them to leave, but they also didn't kill them cleanly...

Was it playing a cat-and-mouse game? No, it didn't seem like it. The human girl before them seemed to be trapping themselves and Hanami here, preventing them from leaving, as if waiting for someone to deal with them.

Suddenly, Hanami turned its head and looked in a certain direction. Although it had a sturdy body, it emitted a voice that leaned more towards the feminine.

"The presence of the other three curses has disappeared. And the time intervals were extremely short, suggesting they were simultaneously eliminated in a short period."

"What?!"

Leaking Pot found it hard to believe.

The time intervals for the disappearance of their presence were extremely short, suggesting that three Special Grade curses had been simultaneously eliminated in a short period.

How could a human possibly do such a thing?

Meanwhile, on the other side, Seele also sensed the disappearance of cursed energy from the other battlefield.

"It seems Makima-neechan's battle is over."

"Then, Seele's side needs to finish quickly too."

Looking at the two Disaster Cursed Spirits before her, Seele spoke softly.

"Please, my other self!"

Chapter 36: Defection Failed, Leaking Pot's Unwillingness

"Please, my other self."

As Seele spoke, waves of black and red cursed energy surged, and Black Seele's figure slowly materialized beside Seele.

"Yes, yes, I can't help it."

Compared to an ability like the Power of Creation, which leaned towards support, the Power of Withering, more suited for combat, was undoubtedly a better choice for ending battles quickly.

However, this didn't stop Black Seele from chiming in as soon as she appeared.

"As I thought, my previous feelings weren't wrong. My kin truly reside within you."

Because the cursed spirit that had previously fled had been severely injured by Gojo Satoru, it was clearly impossible for it to be rescued by the other cursed spirits present. Therefore, they had no choice but to focus on eliminating the powerful sorcerer who had appeared before them.

It wasn't that Choso was being overly cautious. It was because he had already seen the power of Itadori Yuji's avatars and knew that they were not as simple as they appeared. If he were to reveal his true strength too early, it would only attract unnecessary attention. However, he could not afford to be careless. After all, it was possible that the powerful sorcerer they were facing, who could potentially rival Gojo Satoru in strength, was not someone to be trifled with and would not be easily revealed.

Well, considering the strength factor, Choso's guess was not wrong.

It was just that, in the current situation, Choso's assumptions were clearly completely wrong.

"To manifest separately from your container's body, does this mean you can break free from your container's limitations and regain some freedom?"

"If that's the case, why do you still follow a human? As one of our kin, why don't you come with us and create a world for curses?"

Leaking Pot spoke earnestly, attempting to sway Black Seele to the side of the curses. After all, Black Seele's terrifying cursed energy and her very existence were clearly that of a curse. Since she was a curse, her stance was inherently opposed to humans. Leaving those hypocritical and ugly humans to join the ranks of curses like themselves was only natural, wasn't it?

"Huh?"

Hearing Leaking Pot's words, Black Seele turned her head, her black and red eyes staring at the two cursed spirits with malice, her expression one of disdain.

"Don't compare me to you filthy things. I have no interest in creating a world of curses with the likes of you sewer rats."

Cursed energy filled with the aura of death slowly spread out, instantly making Leaking Pot and Hanami feel immense pressure.

At this moment, Black Seele, who had manifested independently, was dressed slightly differently from Seele. Her overall color scheme was black and red, and she wore a long dress adorned with chains, fitting the appearance of the Twin Flames of the Other Shore.

"Since it's Seele's request, if you don't want to suffer too much, I advise you not to resist."

"Also, if I remember correctly, when we first started fighting, you seemed to look down on Seele, didn't you?"

Her black and red eyes stared directly at Leaking Pot, the strongest of the Disaster Cursed Spirits, who now appeared somewhat silent.

"It seems you refuse to stand by our side. Despite being a powerful curse, you are willing to be manipulated by humans."

"In that case..."

Leaking Pot formed a specific hand gesture and spoke to Hanami beside him.

"Hanami, you do your best to hold back that human. I will resolve this curse as quickly as possible, and then we will retreat together."

The aura of their companion on the other battlefield had disappeared, and enemy reinforcements were likely on their way. In such a situation, even if Leaking Pot and Hanami wanted to buy more time for Mahito, they had to consider retreating. However, escaping from the hands of this powerful young human sorcerer, let alone with an additional curse on the opponent's side, was not easy. Therefore, it had to eliminate the curse before them to have a chance to retreat safely with Hanami. With that thought, the cursed energy accumulated within its body erupted, and Leaking Pot, facing Black Seele, unleashed its ultimate trump card.

"Domain Expansion: Coffin of the Iron Mountain!"

A pitch-black environment instantly enveloped everything before them, centered around Leaking Pot. The forest was transformed into a volcanic zone filled with lava. Intense heat continuously assaulted them from all directions. In this environment, not only would the power of Leaking Pot's flames and lava attacks become exceptionally strong, but they would also gain the effect of guaranteed hits with the domain's enhancement. With Leaking Pot's already formidable attack power, ordinary sorcerers entering its domain and being even slightly hit by its attacks would result in death or severe injury. However, in this situation, Black Seele's expression remained unchanged. She calmly watched Leaking Pot, as if watching a performance.

"Use whatever other tricks you have. Otherwise, you won't have another chance."

"Arrogant!"

Flames, several times stronger than those outside, erupted from Leaking Pot's hands, but before they could touch Black Seele's body, they were disintegrated by the black and red cursed energy that enveloped her.

"How is this possible?"

Leaking Pot's eyes widened in disbelief at this situation. It had not held back at all in its previous attack. Within this domain, every attack it launched was equivalent to its full power under normal circumstances. Yet now, its attack had been blocked by the opponent using only cursed energy?

"With such feeble strength, you dare attempt to create a world for curses?"

Black and red claws materialized out of thin air, instantly piercing Leaking Pot's body.

"With just this strength, how do you plan to create a world for curses? By shouting it out loud?"

Bringing Leaking Pot's body closer with its black and red claws, Black Seele spoke with a mocking tone.

"You, you are merely a curse completely enslaved by humans. Both your body and your mind have been domesticated. How can you understand our noble ideals..."

As the cursed energy from the claws continuously eroded its body, Leaking Pot endured the physical pain and spoke with a look of pity.

The next second, black-red cursed energy imbued with the Power of Withering surged into the Leaking Pot's body, completely stripping the Disaster Cursed Spirit of its ability to resist.

Black Seele couldn't even be bothered to answer the Leaking Pot.

After all, what was wrong with being enslaved? As avatars materialized by their Master, wasn't it only natural for them to be commanded and used by their Master?

They could never repay their Master's kindness; as long as their Master was happy, that was their greatest bliss.

Cursed energy filled with coldness and deathly silence continuously flowed into its body. The Leaking Pot's consciousness grew increasingly hazy, but it still held on, sensing the cursed energy within.

"Is this your ability? This power... it's practically the embodiment of death..."

"Yes, you could think of it that way."

Wasn't the Power of Withering precisely the embodiment of death? Of the two authorities of the Herrscher of Life and Death, the authority representing life was Creation, and the authority representing death was naturally Withering.

"I see. A curse born from humanity's concept of fear of death. No wonder it's so powerful."

But a curse born from such a powerful concept should have been the most reliable companion for curses and cursed spirits like them. Why, then, did it have to obey humans?

With this unwilling thought, the Leaking Pot's domain, no longer supported, unraveled at that moment.

Chapter Thirty-Seven: The Dominated Leaking Pot and Hanami

The domain, covered in lava, dissipated, returning to the scenery of the outside world.

Outside the domain, Seele stood to the side, holding a Scythe. Beside her was Hanami, who had been cut in half at the waist again at some unknown time.

Clearly, while Black Seele was dealing with the Leaking Pot, Seele had also dealt with the Forest Spirit outside the domain.

"Alright, this guy can't resist anymore. We can just leave it like this."

Throwing the Leaking Pot's body together with Hanami's, Black Seele returned to Seele's side.

"Then, should the other me head back now?"
