Invincible Me Only Wants to Slack Off

The entire process happened in the blink of an eye! Nanami Kento's movements were efficient, precise, and ruthless, with no wasted motion whatsoever, showcasing the overwhelming combat experience and destructive power of a special-grade sorcerer!

"Nanami-san, why?!" Yuji staggered up from the rubble, wiping blood from the corner of his mouth, shouting in shock and fury.

He couldn't believe that Nanami-senpai, who had always looked out for him and acted with fairness, would suddenly try to kill them!

Nanami Kento adjusted his glasses, the lenses reflecting a cold light.

"Yuji, I have no grudge or hatred toward you or Fushiguro. I'm just doing my job."

Those words struck both of them like a heavy hammer.

Yuji's fists clenched with audible cracks, his knuckles turning white; Fushiguro Megumi's pupils contracted sharply, cold sweat beading on his back. They understood instantly—this was an order from the Jujutsu world high-level. Kill Yuji, prevent Satoru Gojo's unsealing.

"Nanami-san..." Yuji's voice trembled, not from fear, but from rage.

He remembered the ordinary people who died in the Shibuya Incident, the scene when Gojo-sensei was sealed. Now even the most reliable Nanami-senpai was coming for his life?

Fushiguro had already formed a hand sign: "Nue!"

He lowered his voice to Yuji: "Get ready to break out, Angel is still—"

"Yuji Itadori?"

A low male voice suddenly cut in, and all four turned their heads.

A man in a black suit with a bitter-melon-like face walked over slowly, his leather shoes clicking sharply against the ground when he stopped.

"I am Haguruma." Pages rustled without wind. "I've come to judge your crimes in the Shibuya Incident."

The air froze instantly.

Nanami frowned: "A trial? Now's not the time." The Tuodao in his hand still aimed at Fushiguro.

Haguruma's voice was utterly flat: "Under current regulations, Yuji Itadori, as Sukuna's vessel, bears joint responsibility for the 23,411 civilian casualties in the Shibuya Incident."

Yuji's face went deathly pale. Those images came flooding back—blood, screams, Sukuna laughing inside him...

Fushiguro stepped in front of Yuji: "Are you kidding?! That wasn't Yuji's fault!"

The shadows behind him began to warp, "It's—"

"Objection overruled." Haguruma raised his hand. "Guilt or innocence will be decided by the court."

A complex technique formation suddenly spread beneath his feet, and countless chains shot out from the void!

"Domain Expansion—'Execution'!"

A blinding white light erupted, swallowing all four of them. When their vision cleared, they stood in the center of a massive courtroom.

On the towering judge's bench, a huge black-robed Shikigami spread its arms, each hand suspending a scale pan. Haguruma stood before it, holding a Wooden Mallet.

Nanami and Fushiguro sat in the witness area, Yuji stood at the defendant's stand. Unexpectedly—Kurusu Hana, Angel, was seated in the jury box, her golden eyes thoughtful.

"Court is now in session." The mallet struck, and the entire space trembled. The black Shikigami's voice echoed through the space: "Yuji Itadori is suspected of mass murder in Shibuya on October 31, 2018."

Fushiguro whipped his head toward Nanami, finding the senior sorcerer's brow deeply furrowed. He then tried to channel his own cursed energy, only to realize it had been stripped away within this domain.

The sheer intensity of this domain left Fushiguro stunned.

Everyone looked at Yuji Itadori. Though he'd been panting moments ago, he was now eerily calm.

He met the Shikigami's gaze and spoke with utter composure:

"Yeah, I killed them. That's not a lie, and I won't deny it."

"Guilty! Confiscation! Death penalty!"

The moment the black Shikigami roared, the entire courtroom space shook violently.

An invisible pressure crashed down. Yuji grunted, feeling his body suddenly grow heavy, the cursed energy flowing within him drained like a dry well—completely exhausted!

Cursed energy confiscation—that was the rule of the "Execution" domain!

"Yuji!!!" Fushiguro cried out in desperation.

His face ashen, Fushiguro forced himself to summon power, but his shadows showed no response.

Behind his glasses, Nanami's eyes sharpened. His muscles tensed as he tried to stand, but the domain's rules pinned him firmly to the witness seat.

His heart sank: Damn it, Haguruma's serious! He'd only meant to go through the motions to buy time, but now Yuji's life hung by a thread!

Haguruma's expression was blank. Light surged in his hand, coalescing into a long sword flowing with deadly white radiance—the Executioner's Sword!

"Submit to the law." The judge's voice was as cold as a verdict.

Haguruma vanished from his spot! He moved so fast he left an afterimage! The sword tip drove straight for Yuji's heart!

Yuji's pupils shrank! His cursed energy was gone—all he had left was his steel-forged body!

At the brink of death, instinct honed by countless life-or-death battles took over his body!

"Haaah—!" Yuji roared, slamming his right foot into the ground. Concrete exploded! Relying purely on muscular explosive force, he wrenched his body half a foot to the left!

The white light grazed past his right ribs! His jacket and the flesh beneath were easily sliced open, blood spurting instantly!

"Yuji!" Fushiguro's eyes nearly split with fury. He battered against the invisible restraints, his finger joints white from strain, but it was futile.

Nanami stared intently at Haguruma's movements, his mind racing: The rules... the domain's coercive force... there has to be a loophole...

Haguruma's strike missed. He twisted his wrist, and the light sword swept out without hesitation, slashing horizontally toward Itadori's waist!

The sword's radiance covered a vast area—impossible to dodge!

Itadori's eyes were fierce. Instead of retreating, he charged forward! He lowered his center of gravity like a pouncing tiger and, at the instant the sword light reached him, lunged forward in a rolling dive!

The light sword grazed his back, severing a few strands of hair!

Itadori hit the ground and rolled, his movements a bit clumsy, the wound on his ribs screaming in pain—but he had closed the distance!

"Not done yet!" he roared, springing to his feet. Using only his physical strength, he twisted his waist and spun, unleashing a whip kick with all his power behind it. It tore through the air, aimed straight for Haguruma's head!

A life-for-life gambit!

For the first time, a flicker of emotion crossed Haguruma's cold eyes.

He hadn't expected Itadori, stripped of his cursed energy, to still unleash such a ferocious counterattack with nothing but his body and will. Instinctively, he raised his left arm to block—

A dull thud! Haguruma's body swayed! That all-out kick from Itadori had actually jolted the special-grade sorcerer!

"Got him...!" A spark of hope lit in Itadori's eyes—

But Haguruma's left arm, which had blocked the kick, remained steady. His right hand, holding the light sword, silently thrust forward like a venomous snake!

Too close! The sword tip aimed straight for Itadori's throat! An icy killing intent locked onto him!

"It's over," Haguruma declared.

Itadori's momentum was spent, his new strength not yet gathered, his body still midair—there was no way to dodge! He could only watch as that white light of death rapidly swelled in his vision!

"Yuji—!" Fushiguro's roar carried despair.

Just as the light sword was about to pierce Itadori's throat, at the most critical moment—

"Kai... Kō..."

Chapter 17: Sukuna's Body Swap

"Kai... Kō..."

The hoarse syllables tore through the air, and in an instant, viscous darkness like congealed malice erupted from Itadori's body!

It wasn't cursed energy—it was pure, millennium-old... malice?!

The curse marks on his cheeks writhed like living snakes, spreading. The skin beneath his eyes split open, and two narrow, blood-red vertical pupils snapped open!

The tenacious expression that had belonged to Itadori was utterly torn away, replaced by a cruel, arrogant, and contemptuous smirk that looked down on all living things.

He casually raised his right hand—smack!

His palm, covered in strange black markings, firmly caught the tip of Haguruma's Executioner's Sword!

The light, capable of severing techniques, flickered and wailed in his grip but couldn't advance a single inch!

"Oh my, my," 'Itadori' tilted his head, his scarlet pupils studying the blade with keen interest, his voice twisted and mocking. "Didn't think I'd see such an amusing little judgment trick these days."

He applied a bit of pressure with his fingers, and the light sword let out a hum.

Haguruma's pupils contracted sharply! A primal sense of immense danger washed over him like ice water!

Without even time to think, his body moved on instinct, launching him backward in a frantic retreat!

Three rapid withdrawals in succession, instantly opening up a dozen meters of distance. His face had lost all trace of its earlier cold calm, replaced by nothing but gravity:

"Ryomen Sukuna?!"

'Itadori'—or rather, the King of Curses now inhabiting this body—grinned wickedly and let go.

The light sword lost its restraint, and Haguruma immediately dismissed it.

Sukuna leisurely ran his fingers through Itadori's messy pink hair, pushing it back to reveal his smooth forehead and the three pairs of bone-chilling eyes.

"Oh ho~" Sukuna's tone carried exaggerated delight as his gaze swept over Haguruma. "You recognized me, huh? Pretty sharp eyes, Judge-boy."

"Sukuna?!" Fushiguro gasped, his heart nearly stopping!

Behind Nanami Kento's glasses, a cold light flashed. His entire body tensed to the extreme! Even Kurusu Hana, the Angel who had been silently observing, had her golden eyes rippling violently.

"How... how is this possible?!" Fushiguro's voice cracked with shock.

Itadori hadn't lost control of his body! How did this bastard get out?!

Sukuna let out a low, pleased rumble in his throat, as if he'd heard a funny joke. All three pairs of eyes turned toward Fushiguro and Nanami.

"Don't make such a fuss," he said, spreading his hands, his posture lazy yet carrying a lethal pressure. "This stupid, naive brat," he tapped his temple, "and I made a little 'binding vow.'"

He raised a finger covered in black curse marks, his scarlet tongue licking over his sharp canine teeth. "As long as I say the words 'Kai Kō,' I can take over this body... for one minute."

He paused deliberately, savoring the horrified expressions on their faces, his grin growing even more malicious. "Of course, the content of the vow is—during that minute, I 'cannot harm or kill anyone.'"

He emphasized the vow's restriction, but it felt more like he was flaunting his own game rules.

A sharp crack like a firecracker!

Sukuna tore off the little finger and ring finger of his left hand with his own strength, blood splattering across the courtroom floor.

He laughed wildly, raising the severed fingers to his eyes, his scarlet tongue licking the wounds. "But it doesn't say—I can't hurt myself! Hahahaha!"

Haguruma's face changed color. "Damn it!" He swung his Wooden Mallet, trying to reinforce his domain, but it was already too late—

Sukuna's figure lunged forward like a bolt of lightning!

Before Fushiguro Megumi could react, he found himself staring straight into those manic vertical pupils!

"Fushiguro, dodge!" Nanami Kento's warning overlapped with Sukuna's twisted voice: "Come on, try a special candy~"

Sukuna's bloodstained hand clamped down on Fushiguro's jaw, shoving two severed fingers roughly into his forced-open mouth!

Fushiguro's pupils shrank to pinpricks, a choking gurgle escaping his throat.

"Boom--!!!"

A torrent of pitch-black cursed energy erupted from all seven of Fushiguro's orifices!

Nanami Kento was sent flying by the shockwave, slamming into a wall before stopping; Kurusu Hana unfurled her light wings and retreated at full speed; Haguruma raised his arms to block the blast!

At the storm's center, Fushiguro's body hovered eerily.

Cursed markings identical to Sukuna's spread across his cheeks, the skin beneath his eyes tearing open—two new crimson vertical pupils snapped wide!

"Cough... cough!" Yuji Itadori suddenly collapsed to his knees, regaining consciousness. He looked up dazedly, meeting the slowly turning gaze of "Fushiguro."

That familiar face now wore a strange, wicked smile, but the voice was Sukuna's tone: "Remember? Because I can see interesting things..."

'Fushiguro' slapped away Yuji's reaching hand, all four eyes narrowing at once. "I told you." He tilted his head, studying Yuji's horrified expression. "Kid."

The moment Sukuna finished speaking, his fist slammed into Yuji's abdomen with brutal force!

A dull, heavy impact! Yuji didn't even have time to block; his whole body shot backward like a cannonball hit by a speeding truck!

He crashed through the courthouse's stone pillar, rubble and dust exploding into the air!

"Yuji!" Nanami Kento growled, but his body was sluggish from the lingering effects of the domain and the sudden upheaval.

Sukuna didn't even glance at the flying Yuji.

He leisurely raised a hand, threading his fingers through Fushiguro's hedgehog-like black hair, then yanked it back hard! The dark strands were forcibly slicked into a wild, arrogant pompadour, baring his smooth forehead and those two pairs of malicious crimson eyes.
