Open Scheme (First Update)

"Great Catfish!"

Faced with Hawking, whose strength was unknown, Kenjaku did not intend to fight and immediately used a special spell spirit with Genjutsu abilities.

The Great Catfish is a special cursed spirit born from humanity's fear of earthquakes. It can induce a hallucination in its target as if they were standing on the edge of an abyss, causing them to involuntarily fall to the ground.

However, the Great Catfish's Genjutsu obviously did not work on Hawking. Hawking just glanced down, then lightly stomped his foot, and the entire ground actually seemed to shake as if an earthquake had occurred.

When Gohan was in school, he could cause an earthquake just by standing on his tiptoes in the classroom. Hawking's current Combat Power is no less than Gohan's back then.

The cursed spirits born from humanity's fear of earthquakes will only have one outcome if a real earthquake occurs.

Faced with overwhelming power, the special cursed spirit Great Catfish was instantly shattered.

"Suck!"

As for the shattered Great Catfish, Kingpin did not let it go so easily. Instead, he raised his hand and inhaled, turning the dead Great Catfish into Cursed Energy and swallowing it all into his own Cosmo, merging it with the planet represented by the Cursed Energy.

Yuji Itadori's internal Cursed Energy wasn't particularly strong, so the planet represented by the Cursed Energy within his Cosmo was also the smallest.

In order to enrich the Cursed Energy Planet, he tried to devour the Cursed Spirits by using the method of devouring the Soul King.

The result is obviously acceptable.

"That's a good idea."

After devouring the Great Catfish, Hawking noticed that the Cursed Energy of the Cursed Energy planet had increased, which in turn boosted the overall strength. He couldn't help but stroke his chin.

In this world, as long as there are humans, there will be negative emotions, and a constant stream of cursed spirits will be born, which he can devour.

"What exactly are you?"

Seeing that Hawking had actually swallowed the Great Catfish, Kenjaku's eyes widened in surprise.

Devouring cursed spirits—is that something a human can do?

Although Suguru Geto's technique is said to devour cursed spirits, that is not actually accurate, because the fundamental principle of his technique is not to actually swallow the cursed spirits into his stomach for absorption and digestion. Humans cannot do such a thing.

Suguru Geto's techniques are fundamentally similar to the principles of Shikigami used by traditional Sorcerers.

However, while normal Sorcerers sign contracts with Shikigami to become partners in battle, Suguru Geto's spells replace Shikigami with cursed spirits and partner contracts with master-servant contracts, with no limit on the number of such spirits.

But what he just saw was that Hawking had directly transformed the Great Catfish into Cursed Energy and absorbed it into his body.

That's why he doubted whether Hawking was even human.

He's lived for over a thousand years, and this is the first time he's encountered something like this. It's truly an unprecedented event.

However, he reacted quickly. Despite his surprise, he didn't falter at all. Taking advantage of the moment when Hawking devoured the Great Catfish, he quickly retreated to prepare for a counterattack.

Hawking was too fast, and he felt that simply running away wouldn't be enough to escape, so he had to use some methods.

However, Hawking can devour cursed spirits and become stronger. If he continues to release cursed spirits, it will only make Hawking more powerful and terrifying.

"Kuroi Mushi!"

With a flick of his eye, Kenjaku released a Special Grade Cursed Spirit.

Even Dagon was almost instantly killed by Hawking, Kuroi Mushi, a Special Grade Cursed Spirit whose strength was much weaker than Dagon, was naturally no match for Hawking either.

However, he felt that it might play a special role.

Because Kuroi Mushi, a Special Grade Cursed Spirit, was born from the negative emotions humans have towards cockroaches. He wields a cursed tool called the Rotten Birth Blade, which contains insect eggs, and has a special attack against humans.

Most importantly, this cursed spirit looks extremely disgusting.

"A calculated scheme?"

Upon seeing the new Special Grade Cursed Spirit appear, Hawking couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

He guessed Kenjaku's purpose in an instant.

If he devours Kuroi Mushi, what's the difference between that and eating a giant cockroach?

Besides, even if it's a fight, I wouldn't really want to touch such a big cockroach.

At this moment, he couldn't help but think of the Nine-Turn Intestine Incident.

"Domain Expansion: Maggot and Cockroach Infestation!"

As soon as Kuroi Mushi appeared, he activated his domain against Hawking, and his domain was extremely disgusting.

Because this is a world teeming with maggots and cockroaches, Kuroi Mushi was hiding among these maggot and cockroach armies, ready to ambush Hawking at any moment.

"So this is supposed to be disgusting, right?"

As Hawking looked around at the countless flying cockroaches and wriggling maggots, he couldn't help but twitch his lips.

Most people wouldn't know where to begin.

Especially for Sorcerers who excel in close combat, every punch is disgusting and every step makes you want to vomit.

"Fiendfyre!"

Fortunately, although Hawking had been demonstrating close-combat abilities, he was actually capable of much more than just close combat.

A giant blue fire dragon flew out of Hawking's hand, circled around him, and burned all the cockroaches, maggots, including the hidden Kuroi Mushi and the entire domain, into thin air.

He didn't want it; it was just a Special Grade Cursed Spirit. Anyway, there were plenty of cursed spirits in this world, and they were endless. There was no need to be so frugal.

"Maximum: Uzumaki!"

The moment Kuroi Mushi's domain shattered, Kenjaku, who had gathered all the collected cursed spirits into one, seized the opportunity to launch his strongest attack on Hawking.

That's it?

Seeing the massive amount of Cursed Energy condense into a shockwave similar to the Kamehameha, Hawking couldn't help but smile.

In the eyes of Sorcerers in this world, attacks using pure Cursed Energy that cause widespread destruction are actually the most difficult moves to deal with.

Because it's real, tangible damage, there's generally no way to counter it except by brute force, unlike those functional Jujutsu Kaisen that can be countered by other Jujutsu Kaisen.

However, in Hawking's eyes, this was the most useless tactic.

Because the shockwave formed by this Cursed Energy Combat Power only worth about 5,000 Combat Power, which is not even as powerful as a casual Ki Blast he throws.

When it hits him, it's like a gentle breeze; he doesn't even need to defend himself.

"What!"

Seeing that his strongest attack Jujutsu Kaisen had no effect on Hawking and couldn't even break through his defenses, Kenjaku's defenses were completely breached.

He simply couldn't understand how there could be such a powerful Sorcerers in the world, especially since he had lived for a thousand years without knowing anything about it.

Even Satoru Gojo couldn't possibly withstand that attack like that.

"I originally intended to use it against Satoru Gojo, but now I can only use it on you."

After some probing, Kenjaku abandoned any wishful thinking and directly launched the special-grade cursed artifact, Prison Realm, which was said to be able to seal any Sorcerers and cursed spirit, in preparation for dealing with Satoru Gojo.

The Prison Realm is a top-tier cursed object formed after the physical body of the supreme Sorcerers Genshin Monk, passed away. It can seal a person as long as it appears within four meters of the sealed person for more than one minute, or if the person recalls the object for more than one minute.

Just in case, he had already released the Prison Realm before Kuroi Mushi activated his domain.

If the Maximum: Uzumaki cannot kill Hawking, then he will use the Prison Realm to seal him.
