The Terrifying Hawking Has Returned
"So strong? Then let this old man have a go at you!"
Seeing that the Mahito was severely injured upon first contact, and that the injury was caused by flames, the Super-Intelligent Spirit Jogo above its head, resembling a volcano, rushed forward and unleashed its domain.
"Domain Expansion: Coffin of the Iron Mountain!"
The sea of fire spread wildly, and it was about to forcibly take Itachi, who had been stopped by the Mahito for a second, into its domain.
"Shadow Clone Technique!"
Knowing that escape was unlikely, Itachi did not panic. Instead, he created a Shadow Clone and Shadow Clone with Iguchi and Sasaki to continue fleeing out of the forest, while his main body turned around and activated the complete Susanoo.
As long as the Shadow Clone sends the person out and the request for reinforcements is successful, then even if they can't win the battle, they can stall until Satoru Gojo comes to their aid.
Although Satoru Gojo went to Kyoto, according to what he knew, Satoru Gojo's sorcery abilities included spatial abilities similar to Obito's.
As long as Satoru Gojo receives the call, he can use the Sou Directional Shunpo to return to Tokyo and then quickly arrive here.
"Susanoo!"
As Itachi's Mangekyo spun, a 200-meter-tall, orange-red Susanoo, Yata Mirror in its left hand and the Totsuka Blade in its right, swiftly rose from the forest.
And the instant Susanoo took shape, he immediately raised the Yata Mirror to block the sea of fire that was engulfing his domain.
As Susanoo's own spiritual weapon, the Yata Mirror has the ability to nullify all attack attributes.
So when it collided with the flame field of the Jogo, it actually managed to block it.
"Such a thing actually happened!"
The Jogo stared wide-eyed as it saw that its domain had been successfully activated but had not included the other party.
It's important to understand that once a domain is activated, it will inevitably take effect; there's no known way anyone can forcibly shut out a domain.
Even if there are Jujutsu Kaisen that can resist a domain, they can only take effect after the spell is absorbed into the domain.
"It is indeed a special power different from Cursed Energy!"
Even the experienced Kenjaku showed a hint of surprise upon seeing the current situation.
However, his expression was more one of interest.
During the last exchange match, he noticed that Itachi's power was strange. It didn't seem to be the Cursed Energy that all of them used, but a special power that they had never seen before.
Including the strange power that Yuji Itadori has possessed in the past two years.
So this time, the purpose of making such a big fuss is not only to clear obstacles and pave the way for the Culling Game Project, but also to study this different power system.
We need to figure out the origins of Uchiha Itachi, who seems to have appeared out of nowhere.
"Don't underestimate me, you mere fellow without any domain!"
Seeing that his territory was blocked, the hot-tempered Jogo immediately became furious.
It's one thing to be beaten by Satoru Gojo before, but after all, he has Six Eyes and is recognized as the world's strongest Sorcerers, so it's not shameful.
But if he can't even handle someone who doesn't even exist in this realm, then as a new human and the eldest among the Special Grade Cursed Spirit, he would really lose face.
He mobilized all the Cursed Energy within his body, transforming it into a raging flame like a volcano. With the enhancement of his domain, the flame exploded several times in power before crashing down upon Susanoo.
The pure, violent flame energy was so powerful that even the Yata Mirror could not completely neutralize it. It forced Susanoo to retreat, and even caused cracks to appear on the surface of Susanoo.
"Go to hell!"
After unleashing his strongest attack, Jogo did not slacken his pace. Instead, before Susanoo could react, he flashed to the space between Susanoo's eyebrows, the very spot where Itachi was.
Then flames wrapped around his hands and shot straight in.
"I've been waiting for you."
However, Itachi was not surprised at all. His expression was unusually calm, because the Totsuka Blade in his right hand was already thrusting upwards towards the Jogo.
His Mangekyō Sharingan possesses terrifying motion capture capabilities, so how could he not see Jogo's sneak attack?
However, the Jogo was within his domain, so his Totsuka Blade could not penetrate it. Therefore, he deliberately pretended not to have noticed the defense in advance and even caused Susanoo to crack, luring it out of the domain.
The Totsuka Blade is a sealing sword; once pierced, it will be put into the gourd and permanently sealed within the Genjutsu dream realm.
"Hanami!"
Jogo wasn't too worried about the Totsuka Blade that was stabbing him, because as long as his head was okay, he wouldn't have any problems even if his body was stabbed with countless holes.
However, when the Totsuka Blade was about to pierce him, a great fear surged within him. His intuition told him that once he was stabbed, he was finished.
So in the end, he swallowed his pride and called on his companions for help.
As he called out, countless large trees suddenly sprouted from Itachi's Susanoo, instantly locking him in place and fixing his Totsuka Blade less than a centimeter from Jogo's buttocks.
It was the Special Grade Cursed Spirit, Hanami, who used her Jujutsu Kaisen to save them.
In fact, at the very moment the Jogo attacked, he received a hint from Kenjaku and secretly placed his hands on the ground to prepare his Jujutsu Kaisen.
"An ability similar to Wood Release?"
Looking at the trees that coiled around him like pythons, Itachi was immediately reminded of the First Hokage's Wood Release, and his brows furrowed.
"Domain Expansion: Fecund Sea of Light!"
Taking advantage of Itachi's temporary immobility, Hanami quickly deployed his domain.
This time, Itachi was unable to escape and was completely enveloped in the domain.
"I thought this guy would be difficult to deal with before, but I didn't expect him to be even more difficult than I anticipated."
Seeing that it took the combined efforts of three Special Grade Cursed Spirit to barely trap Itachi, Kenjaku sighed and said to Jogo:
"Go in and help Hanami. I estimate that even if you trap him in the domain, Hanami might not be a match for him."
One of my clones has already gone out to deliver the message. If we can't resolve this quickly, Satoru Gojo will receive the news Shunpo over, which would be troublesome.
Jogo nodded angrily and plunged headlong into Hanami's domain.
Meanwhile, Smallpox Deity's domain shattered with a crash, and Reishi, with a pair of Reishi energy wings on his back, a spiritual energy Yuji Itadori on his head, and in his Quincy Vollständig state, appeared in the air and fired a Quincy Arrow fiercely at Kenjaku.
"Holy Destruction Arrow!"
Clearly, Yuji Itadori has already dealt with the Smallpox Deity, a special-grade disease-type cursed spirit, within the domain.
"What a disobedient child."
Seeing this, Kenjaku looked at Dagon, a top-tier intelligent spirit standing beside him, Dagon Gen immediately opened his domain.
"Domain Expansion: Horizon of the Ripple!"
While Dagon is not the strongest among the several top-tier intelligent spirits, it possesses the most immense Cursed Energy.
His domain, resembling a Hawaiian beach and ocean, could last for ten days to half a month without disappearing due to insufficient Cursed Energy. Kenjaku and the other three Top-Tier Special Grade Cursed Spirit often vacationed in his domain.
It should be noted that a normal Special Grade Cursed Spirit's Domain Expansion can only be maintained for a few days, which is already considered strong, while Sorcerers's Domain Expansion for a shorter period of time.
"The Death Swarm of a Thousand!"
The domain once again enveloped Yuji Itadori, and countless fish- Shikigami, summoned by Dagon, flew out of the sea and rushed madly towards Itadori, causing him to be somewhat flustered for a moment.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Kenjaku took out the eleven fingers of the Ryomen Sukuna that he had collected.
Although his infiltration plan for the Kyoto Sister-School Goodwill Event failed two years ago, and he did not retrieve the six fingers he had taken from the Tokyo Jujutsu High, he has managed to collect all eleven remaining fingers in the past two years.
There's no need to defeat Yuji Itadori now. Just feed the eleven fingers to Yuji Itadori, and with his technique, Ryomen Sukuna can regain control of the body.
It would be best if Ryomen Sukuna was willing to cooperate with him, but it wouldn't matter if he wasn't.
Given Ryomen Sukuna's personality, he would inevitably go on a killing spree. Satoru Gojo would definitely make a move then. After Satoru Gojo Ryomen Sukuna Satoru Gojo, he can use Prison Realm to seal Gojo Satoru and continue his Culling Game plan.
"Gravity Reversal!"
Just as Yuji Itadori and the Dagon with a group of Shikigami were locked in a fierce battle in the air, Kenjaku suddenly activated the spell of Yuji Itadori's mother, Kaori Itadori by her.
Yuji Itadori's body was instantly thrown onto the beach due to the reversal of gravity, and then he was pinned down by Dagon.
Meanwhile, Kenjaku quickly stepped forward and shoved all eleven fingers into Yuji Itadori's mouth at once.
At the same time, he had a special technique he had developed over the past two years applied to his forehead.
Yuji Itadori is the child he had with Jin Itadori, who was the reincarnation of the Ryomen Sukuna, when he was parasitizing Kaori Itadori's body.
This is why Yuji Itadori was born with an extraordinary physique; without any training, his physical body was several times stronger than that of world-class athletes, and he was even able to trap the soul of Ryomen Sukuna.
This was one of his original purposes in wanting to parasitize Kaori Itadori's body.
Even in the worst-case scenario, if Ryomen Sukuna attacks them immediately after emerging, he can still use the technique he just used to suppress it back into Yuji Itadori's body.
"Hahaha, hahaha, I'm finally out again!"
After swallowing eleven fingers, his Cursed Energy was mostly restored. Ryomen Sukuna took control of Yuji Itadori's body, and special Cursed Energy patterns appeared on his face, along with two more pairs of eyes.
Being trapped inside Yuji Itadori's body was already frustrating enough, but being sealed away after meeting Hawking made it even more frustrating.
Now, after more than two years of absence, Hawking has finally absorbed enough power to temporarily take control of this body.
Next, he needs to quickly find Megumi Fushiguro transfer his soul into her body.
This way, one can completely get rid of the terrifying Hawking, and on the other hand, one can obtain Fushiguro Megumi's ten shadow magics, especially the ability to subdue the strongest shikigami, Makoro.
"It's done."
Seeing this, Kenjaku also smiled.
However, just as Kenjaku was about to communicate with Ryomen Sukuna to see if they could cooperate to deal with Satoru Gojo, he noticed a sudden look of fear in Ryomen Sukuna's eyes.
"Oh no, why is he back at this time!"
As the terrified scream rang out, the markings on his face instantly faded, Yuji Itadori returned to normal.
At the same time, a strange figure appeared beside him.
"Yujin, with this blue sky, White Cloud, and sandy beach, are we on vacation?"
Hawking's mental gaze swept across the entire room, and looking at Yuji Itadori, who had just gained control of his body, he jokingly said...
When Yuji Itadori saw Hawking appear, his eyes immediately lit up with surprise and delight.
"Hawking, what are you doing here for so long? This isn't a vacation."
"And this gentleman is?"
At that moment, Kenjaku suddenly spoke up, interrupting Yuji Itadori.
He's still a bit confused.
Why did Ryomen Sukuna suddenly disappear in such a terrifying way?
Who is this person who suddenly appeared in the field?
Although he didn't sense any Cursed Energy fluctuations from the man who suddenly appeared, he felt an inexplicable urge to run away immediately.
But reason forced him to stop this impulse, even if the other party was really powerful.
Before escaping, you should at least gather some information about the other party to facilitate a more targeted response next time.
"Your friend?"
Hawking did not look at Kenjaku.
Yuji Itadori shook his head:
"They're the enemy!"
"The Banshō Ten'in".
Upon hearing this, Hawking raised his hand and aimed it directly at Kenjaku, the powerful suction instantly drawing Kenjaku towards him.
Kenjaku tried to resist, but found that the suction force was too terrifying, even more terrifying than the suction force in Satoru Gojo's Limitless Technique, making him unable to move at all.
Even if he used anti-gravity Jujutsu Kaisen, he couldn't counteract it at all.
Fortunately, the Dagon over there reacted in time and summoned a giant fish Shikigami to devour Hawking.
Then Hawking simply turned his head and glared, and the giant fish- Shikigami exploded in mid-air.
However, this gave Kenjaku a chance to catch his breath. He immediately used Suguru Geto's spell to summon a cursed spirit with spatial abilities, which temporarily replaced his own position.
"Dagon, hold him off!"
Realizing Hawking's terrifying strength, Kenjaku had the honest and simple Dagon hold Hawking back while he withdrew from Dagon's domain.
In his view, no matter how strong Hawking was, it would take him a while to break through the domain of the Dagon, and that would be enough time for him to escape.
"Is everything settled? Why did you come out?"
The Mahito who was struggling to recover looked surprised when he saw Kenjaku emerge from Dagon's domain.
Kenjaku's eyes darted around, and he walked up to the Mahito with a smile.
"All done. You focus on recovering first. I'm going to help Hanami and the others."
Taking advantage of the moment when Mahito closed his eyes again, he suddenly reached out and pressed his hand on Mahito's head, activating Suguru Geto's Jujutsu Kaisen, intending to devour Mahito entirely.
He originally intended to use these top-tier intelligent spirits to seal Satoru Gojo, but the current situation is dire, so he has to temporarily change his plans.
Hanami and Jogo might not be a match for Uchiha Itachi. With Makoto Mahito injured, it's impossible for Dagon to hold off Yuji Itadori and the terrifyingly powerful Hawking at the same time.
So in the end, he might be the only one who manages to escape this operation.
Since that's the case, why not take advantage of the fact that the Mahito is seriously injured and absorb him? In any case, absorbing the Mahito was already part of his subsequent plan, because he needed the Mahito's ability to transform his Jujutsu Kaisen into Idle Transfiguration to activate the Culling Game.
"Boom!"
However, just as he began to devour, Dagon's domain was split in two and broken open. Dagon was being strangled by Hawking like a dead fish, barely breathing.
"What? It's so fast!"
Upon seeing this, Kenjaku was so frightened that his hand trembled, and he immediately stopped devouring Mahito, hurriedly trying to escape from the place.
What a joke! He's only been out of the domain for less than ten seconds, Dagon has already been beaten like this, with his domain forcibly broken.
Such strength is probably something Satoru Gojo might not be able to achieve.
"Friend, where are you going?"
However, the next second, he found that Hawking had appeared in front of him with a smile on his face.
