But Riviera shook her head.
"Itadori Yuji is the only vessel capable of hosting and controlling Ryomen Sukuna. After learning this, they would never let him go easily. So what we need to see next is the choice that child makes for himself."
This was also why Riviera had chosen to kill Ryomen Sukuna inside Itadori Yuji.
Earlier, Itadori Yuji had been possessed.
It had happened entirely because of the emergency.
And because of this, he had been sentenced to death.
Even after he demonstrated the ability to control Sukuna perfectly and stated that he was willing to find all of Ryomen Sukuna's fingers before taking the King of Curses to Hell with him,
his sentence had only been changed from execution to a suspended death sentence.
In other words,
from the moment he swallowed that finger, his fate had already been decided: he was to sacrifice himself for reasons such as the so-called "greater good" and "salvation."
Itadori Yuji had accepted such a fate and had even worked hard toward that destined death.
But now, a chance to choose again had been placed before him.
So, what choice would he make?
Only after hearing Riviera's explanation did Akame and Ryougi Shiki suddenly understand.
This truly was a completely new and even more intense trial.
"So, what should we do next?" Akame asked.
Anyone familiar with her would know that the fact she had asked such a question meant she already trusted someone deeply.
"For now, let's get to know this world properly." Riviera looked at the skyscrapers around them, and intense curiosity suddenly blossomed in her eyes. "This is my first time coming to a New World. I've been wanting to ask for a while—how do these vehicles run without magic? And what about electricity? And their economic system?"
