Negative human emotions can generate Cursed Energy and Cursed Spirit. Cursed Spirit can cause real-world harm and human death, which led to the emergence of groups of Jujutsu who use Cursed Energy to fight against them.
This is a cursed world.
It is also the origin of Ryomen Sukuna.
——
When his thoughts returned to his physical body, Sukuna looked at Satoru Gojo, who was cut in two at the waist.
A complex expression appeared on his face.
It was neither the joy of slaying a powerful enemy nor the melancholy of seeing the enemy die.
Instead...
I feel utterly disappointed with reality.
Why...
Why did I come back to this boring world?!
Why didn't I die?!
Are you kidding me?!
Was all of that... just a dream?
What kind of low-level author came up with this garbage plot?!
Wrong...
No longer looking at Satoru Gojo's corpse, Sukuna discovered... in his own spiritual ocean, that vermilion door.
He was all too familiar with that aura.
In countless midnight dreams, he would snap out of his daze and see this vermilion door.
The power it contains is astonishing.
A crazed and ferocious smile appeared on Sukuna's face, which was extremely terrifying.
Without restraint, he let out a joyful roar to the sky, his swaying limbs making him look like a child who had finally received what he had begged for.
That's not a dream!
Everything I experienced actually happened!
Mirror...
Kagami Uchiha!!
My curse on you is far from over!!
——
"What are you laughing at? Killing Satoru Gojo makes you so happy?"
Tumultuous!!
Thunder roars.
Kashimo, the strongest Jujutsu four hundred years ago, was obsessed with fighting the strongest person in his life. He was a pure martial arts fanatic!
Without hesitation, Kashimo used her strongest form, which could only be used once in her life: "Mythical Beast Amber".
His physical body was enveloped in a storm of Cursed Energy, with lightning sweeping through.
Seeing the thunder beast descending from the sky, Sukuna stopped laughing wildly, his eyes showing impatience.
Just as you're savoring a delicious meal, a buzzing fly appears – that's the kind of expression you get.
"Compared to the enemies I've faced..."
"Never mind."
There is no need for comparison.
Sukuna raised a finger and waved it gently.
Tumultuous!!!
The black and red slash, crackling with lightning, completely engulfed Kashimo's lightning!
Then annihilation!
The onlookers from the Tokyo Jujutsu High fell into a deathly silence.
They had considered the possibility that Kashimo might lose.
But I never imagined he would be so vulnerable, dying instantly!
After the silence.
"This... this is impossible..."
"What kind of power is that... it's practically a combination of Black Flash and slashing!"
"Sukuna possesses such power, why didn't he use it when he fought Gojo- sensei?!"
"He hasn't even used his full strength yet!!"
Sukuna touched the earth with her fingertips, her senses spreading Limitless.
He could sense that now that he had returned, he possessed the power he would have had in his final showdown with Kagami Uchiha.
He understood what had happened.
The "Omnipotence" being rejected by Kagami Uchiha chose himself.
"Ah... you, like me, are filled with resentment towards the guy who abandoned us, aren't you..."
Sukuna muttered to himself, his words filled with barely concealed excitement.
"I will definitely catch up with him."
"This is our Enchain. In exchange for all the Cursed Energy in this Jujutsu World, I promise you... I will definitely transcend time and space to catch up with that guy!"
"Then... I ate him completely!"
"I will completely accept you; you will become a part of me."
The vermilion doors, as if inspired by some revelation, transformed into bright red threads.
The surface of Sukuna's body simultaneously displays this eerie bright red, like blood, like a butterfly.
At this moment, even the aura emanating from Sukuna caused a distortion of space and time.
This world...
We simply can't stand his presence!
Sukuna looked up at the starry sky, his four eyes tinged with a gray-black hue.
Nothingness.
Those are countless sub-dimensions, pathways to the main universe.
It's like a barrier, separating reality from illusion.
There is no concept of time there. It is possible that the two beings, who traversed the void one after the other, arrived in the main universe a thousand years apart.
A black and red butterfly, shrouded in mystery, fluttered beside Sukuna's body. Not only could no one else see its shape, but even Sukuna himself could not make it out.
It is the essence of the soul, the origin of everything.
It seemed to be emitting a low, soft murmur, guiding Sukuna in the direction he should go.
Sukuna clearly sensed that he might be a tiny drop of seawater in the vast ocean of consciousness of some great being.
Only by being guided by some divine mandate can one be reborn at this moment.
It doesn't matter...
It doesn't matter whose pawn it is.
It doesn't matter who controls us.
Kagami Uchiha, all I want to do is kill you.
No matter how strong you become in the new world, or even if you change your appearance and name, I will still follow the guidance of my soul to find you.
No matter how many times I die, I will find you.
No reason or meaning is needed.
To curse you and haunt you for all eternity is my duty since I was born into this world.
Bang!
The space shattered before Sukuna, revealing a panicked Uraume.
Looking at Sukuna in front of her, Uraume felt a sense of unfamiliarity.
This is a very strange feeling.
In his eyes, Sukuna seemed to be both colder and gentler than a thousand years ago.
That's so strange...
"Uraume ...I had a beautiful dream."
Sukuna's lips curled up slightly, a smile that resembled someone else's.
"I met a wonderful person, someone I've never met before."
"He possesses all the worst human traits, and he has a pure and perfect madness that fascinates me."
"I really want to talk to someone, I really want them to know what kind of person he is..."
"It's like..."
"Ah... my vocabulary is so limited, I really, really want you to know..."
Uraume had never seen such Sukuna before.
It's like...
Wanting to show off their perfect lover.
Lord Sukuna... what exactly happened to you?
Where did you go during the time I didn't know?
Sukuna took his hand, and the two slowly flew into the sky.
"Sukuna, where are we going?"
Sukuna didn't turn around, her voice soft and gentle. "Go find him. You are an important chef to me."
"We either eat him or he eats us."
"Whichever you choose, it will be an incredibly wonderful experience, and I hope you can experience it with me."
"I understand, Lord Sukuna."
"I will always be with you."
What a passionate love...
What kind of person could Sukuna pursue so relentlessly?
"Don't even think about escaping! Sukuna!!"
A person from Tokyo Jujutsu High has made a leap forward.
Sukuna did not go to see.
Like a torrential downpour, it struck down from the Sky Manipulation to the earth.
Endless, covering the entire country.
This maritime nation was completely wiped out from this moment on.
The terrifying ocean eye swallowed up the tectonic plate debris, and Sukuna didn't even have the interest to look back.
The person he truly cared about was on the other side of the world.

"There are still extra chapters, and I haven't started writing the new book yet. I've been very busy these past few days, traveling across provinces on business trips, so I really haven't had time."
It took me a lot of time to write this, just to let you know I'm still alive, haha.
Sorry, I've been incredibly busy these past few days. I'm currently writing my new book, and I'll start advertising it once it's more word-length; there's no point in doing it now.
