Everything had happened far too quickly.
Even Megumi himself had failed to react.
It had all come too suddenly, and he had still been grieving over his sister being taken from him, leaving his reactions much slower than usual.
By the time he came to his senses, his consciousness had already sunk to the "bottom of the sea."
"My body has been taken over?"
"How could this happen? Why can my body hold Sukuna's fingers too?"
"What the hell is going on?!"
Megumi felt as though he had fallen into a bottomless ancient well. No matter how desperately he struggled, he could not rise back up.
He could only watch helplessly as he drifted farther and farther from the well's opening, farther and farther from the light...
"Give Megumi back!" Itadori snapped out of his shock after a moment.
Cursed energy surged wildly into his fist as he punched at Megumi's body, now occupied by Sukuna.
But now that Sukuna had left Itadori's body, he was no longer bound by the contract and could kill as he pleased!
Boom—!!!
The force of the punch swept out like a miniature gale, smashing the wall behind Sukuna into dust with indescribable power.
Sukuna had no intention of meeting it head-on. He had only just seized Megumi's body, and drawing heavily on the cursed energy within it might affect his control over Megumi's flesh.
He still needed to go through a series of steps before he could fully adapt to Megumi's body.
So Sukuna's foremost objective now was to leave this place.
Okkotsu and Kinji Hakari would be arriving soon, after all.
If he still had not left by then, things would likely become troublesome.
After evading Itadori's punch, Sukuna rapidly retreated and fled into the distance without the slightest hesitation.
