Enchain

(The previous chapter has been revised. If you are reading the previous version of chapter 99, please forget about it!)

Contractual Re-creation, the Cursed Technique of the sorcerer Reggie Star, which uses Cursed Energy to ignite a receipt, can reproduce the "item" that the receipt points to. After a brief period of experimentation, it was confirmed that Cursed Tool and even Cursed Object can also be reproduced through Cursed Technique.

The Cursed Technique lasts for a maximum of 3 days. Although it is nominally a "summoning", it only consumes a very small amount of Cursed Energy Cursed Energy - which is calculated based on the density of the object.

It is clear that Reggie's Cursed Technique has not undergone awakening. According to him, he is not a warrior, and even in his time, he was just a "collector".

So, Xuan and Yuta Okkotsu asked Gakuganji to bring over all the receipts for the Cursed Tool they could collect, Copy more than a dozen copies using a printer.

"Fushiguro, Itadori, catch!"

After meeting Reggie and briefly determining the effects and efficiency of the Cursed Technique Cursed Technique, Xuan planned out the specific usage of Reggie's Cursed Technique.

Two slips of paper fluttered in the air. Fushiguro reached out and grabbed the hilt of the falling "dagger," while Itadori raised his hands and grabbed the bright red three-section staff with both hands.

The Inverted Spear of Heaven, the Playful Cloud aimlessly.

These are the receipts for Reggie's two most useful Cursed Tool at the moment.

"Mr. Reggie! You should leave here first!"

As Itadori caught Playful Cloud, he also spoke at the same time, "Reggie Star's Cursed Technique is such that once it is used, it will exist normally no matter how far away you are."

In order to ensure the supply of the Cursed Tool, the physically weak Reggie must leave the scene immediately after providing Cursed Tool.

Bass!

Dozens of long spikes made of liquid metal instantly pierced towards Reggie's location, but Reggie had already ignited the receipt—the "receipt" for the meal he paid for Xuan to teleport him to; incidentally, the money had actually been paid.

The asphalt road where Reggie was standing was pierced beyond recognition by the long spikes, and Reggie, along with the shadowy figure, had returned to their original base in Tokyo No. 1 Colony.

Wan was somewhat disappointed to find no blood left on the spot, but then she lifted the cage that held Sukuna.

"Hey... Sukuna... I see now, even in this form, you're still plotting something..."

"... Ten thousand."

You actually remember me!

Although the voice coming from Sukuna was strange, the surprise of being recognized by Sukuna still made Wan blush.

"Your attitude makes things difficult. Even if I gain your approval, I can't accept it... My love is surging within me, Sukuna. Hey... what do you want to do? I can help you unconditionally this once."

As Wan spoke, Itadori arrived in front of her— the Playful Cloud of Incantation, wrapped in Itadori's Cursed Energy, slammed into Wan almost instantly—and Wan didn't even move, the surrounding liquid metal spontaneously formed a shield, blocking the attack.

Boom!!!

With a dull Playful Cloud, the liquid metal was instantly blasted open, creating a large hole.

Wan's eyes narrowed, and he quickly retreated. As he retreated, Megumi Fushiguro, wielding the Inverted Spear of Heaven, appeared behind him.

Inverted Spear of Heaven's slash instantly shattered Wan's liquid metal, but the crude movement was still deflected by Wan's elbow, failing to hit Wan at all.

The instant Wan's liquid metal was destroyed, accompanied by the sound of wind breaking, Playful Cloud had already crashed in front of him—the black metal that Wan had constructed blocked Playful Cloud's head-on attack, while Wan was also blasted away.

After sliding several meters on the ground, Wan immediately clapped his hands. The black liquid metal suddenly contracted and was then slammed into the ground by Wan. The asphalt road surface instantly began to surge like waves on the sea, and Wan was in the middle of the waves, lifted high into the air.

Fushiguro forcefully slammed the Inverted Spear of Heaven into the ground, forcibly carving out an unaffected area on the constantly shifting asphalt road, while Fushiguro himself stared intently at Wan's face.

"Who the hell are you?!"

"Didn't I already tell you? I'm Wan."

Wan tossed the cage to the liquid metal behind her. In the middle of the waves, she already knew Sukuna's entire plan. All she had to do now was help Sukuna complete it.

"Why... why did you lie to me?!"

"Because I've never been a big sister, isn't it normal to want to experience a different kind of life?"

Compared to Fushiguro's hysteria, Wan's expression was "calm and collected." She pointed to her brain and said it as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

"And besides, I have all of your sister's memories—those feelings, those thoughts, they're all stored in my mind, Hui~ Hui~ Xiao Hui~ If you pretend this never happened, then I am your sister."

"Stop joking!!!!"

Fushiguro felt like his lungs were about to explode with anger; his eyes were bloodshot.

"Oh, wow! That's really impressive, your eyes... and the Cursed Energy you're unleashing."

Megumi Fushiguro grabbed Inverted Spear of Heaven, and a white Rabbit Escape appeared at his feet, lifting him up and throwing him towards Wan.

Inverted Spear of Heaven slashed down, but Wan grabbed it with one hand. Following Megumi Fushiguro's attack, Itadori had already appeared beside Wan. Before Playful Cloud could make a move, several sharp spikes had already forced Itadori to retreat continuously. Megumi Fushiguro raised his hand—the knowledge that Xuan had taught him was constantly running through his mind. The originally obscure and difficult words were now being skipped over by him, row by row.

The slash struck Wan's abdomen instantly, and the spurting blood splattered onto Megumi Fushiguro's face— Fushiguro, who was using a summon without incantation for the first time, showed no joy on her face. On the contrary, anyone could see that Fushiguro was anxious.

Wan gripped the Inverted Spear of Heaven tightly and delivered a hook punch to Megumi Fushiguro's abdomen, sending Megumi Fushiguro flying.

As Wan casually tossed Fushiguro away, Inverted Spear of Heaven was also sent flying.

As Fushiguro flew backward, he raised his hand in mid-air— Toad appeared on the churning asphalt road, its long red tongue wrapping around Fushiguro Fushiguro's wrist, pulling him directly back to the center of the battlefield.

Wan, who was originally going to destroy the Toad, was entangled by Itadori before he could even make a move.

In Itadori's hands, the Playful Cloud was like a red tornado, with Cursed Energy impacts and strikes coming one after another. Itadori successfully extended the fighting style of the Divergent Fist to the strikes of Cursed Tool. Although Wan could easily block them, he could not make Megumi Fushiguro leave the scene even briefly.

Bang!

Bang!

As Wan continued to receive Playful Cloud's attacks, she began to feel annoyed. While she blocked Playful Cloud's attacks, her fists also kept striking Itadori's body. With the brief distance created by the blows, Wan's body began to be covered with insect armor.

Boom!!

Black insect armor enveloped his arms. As his strength increased, Wan punched Itadori Itadori, then turned and rushed towards the returning "Fushiguro".

"Give me Tsumiki!!!"

Fushiguro's face was contorted in agony, and tears even welled up in the corners of his eyes as the wind blew, while Wan's face was full of smiles.

"I am Tsumiki! Tsumiki is me! Megumi! Accept it...?"

Wan brandished her fists, aiming at Megumi Fushiguro, who was accelerating towards her after being pulled by the Toad.

Thump!!

The moment their fists collided, black lightning exploded in Megumi Fushiguro's hands—the impact of the Black Flash, even with the insect armor providing ample shock absorption, still caused a considerable shock, Megumi Fushiguro her feet hard on the ground.

Infuse the Nue's acceleration into your fist.

Xuan's voice seemed to ring in Fushiguro's ears—those obscure and difficult words were no longer "difficult" under the Flowing State brought by Black Flash. With Black Flash's help, Megumi Fushiguro's Cursed Technique talent was officially awakened.

Sizzle!

It got faster?

The fist, moving at lightning speed, arrived in front of Wan in an instant. As Wan raised his hand to block it, the next fist also arrived in front of Wan.

Thump! Thump thump thump thump!

Fushiguro's fist slammed into Wan's exoskeleton, and purple lightning crackled continuously. Wan was forced back, and the liquid metal that had been pressed against the asphalt road returned to Wan's body. With the help of the liquid metal, Wan successfully blocked all of Megumi Fushiguro's attacks. Meanwhile, only his head remained uncovered by the insect armor.

"Black!! Flash!!!!"

Filled with grief and anger, Megumi Fushiguro's fist, accompanied by black lightning, struck Wan once again.

"Hui! Go ahead!"

As Wan flew backward, Itadori, who had disappeared, shouted, and Inverted Spear of Heaven was thrown over by Itadori, while Fushiguro raised his hand to catch Inverted Spear of Heaven.

"Oh dear... why are you being so violent towards your sister?"

Wan touched her chest— Black Flash had left a scorching fist mark on the insect armor on her upper chest, which Wan was slowly healing.

"I still really like Ahui... There are so many things I want to say, but they're all buried in my heart. I've been in a coma for so long because of my serious illness, and I haven't seen Ahui for so long... I've been so lonely. I think about you in my dreams every day."

"Stop talking!!"

Megumi Fushiguro felt waves of nausea, while Itadori beside her had a gloomy expression.

"Ugh... Seriously, I told you no fighting, no fighting..."

There was no "gentle" smile on Wan's face; on the contrary, the smile seemed like a deliberate mockery.

"Instead of Curse others... cherish the people around you, Ah Hui?"

Megumi Fushiguro's eyes closed slightly; he no longer wanted to hear it. Anger surged through his mind in an instant. This Ancient Sorcerers possessed all of Tsumiki's memories—his own memories with Tsumiki, Tsumiki's feelings for him, Tsumiki's memories, everything about Tsumiki...

Reciting incantations can enhance Cursed Technique. As for the Divine Dog, I developed the Cursed Technique by Copy the "Slash" spell.

Dragon Scales, Recoil, Paired Shooting Stars.

Xuan's words resurfaced in Megumi Fushiguro's mind.

"Dragon Scales! Recoil!"

Upon hearing the incantation, Wan was taken aback for a moment, then immediately gathered liquid metal and placed his hands in front of him.

"Paired Shooting Stars!"

The slash arrived in front of Wan with a whoosh. The liquid metal made a creaking sound as the layers of metal finally blocked the attack. Wan casually removed the liquid metal used for defense and looked with a smile at Megumi Fushiguro, who was panting heavily from the depletion of her Cursed Energy.

"Ah... but I still really like you, Ahui."

Stop talking!

"At the moment I regained my memories, I was also thinking about living as ' Tsumiki,' not as 'Man.'"

Stop talking!!

"Because when I woke up, the first thing I thought of wasn't Sukuna, but rather, in my memory, that Ah Hui who often looked worried, who often panicked and frantically tried to help me, and who couldn't refuse me."

Stop talking nonsense!!!!

"Haha... I'll be your older sister, you little brat!"

The mocking smile on Wan's face deepened, while Megumi Fushiguro raised her hand towards Wan.

"I never really thought about it!! It's all the memories of this body that told me!!!! Poor little brat!! You'll never see your sister again!!!!"

Megumi Fushiguro's gesture froze—anger, confusion, disappointment, doubt, and sadness mingled in her black eyes, and the words she had wanted to say remained unspoken.

"What a funny expression!! Domain Expansion-- "

Seeing Megumi Fushiguro's hesitation, Wan immediately clasped his hands together in a hand seal.

Beside Fushiguro, Itadori, with a dark face, also raised his hand and formed the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva mudra.

"Domain Expansion!!!"

Realizing that Fushiguro was out of strength, Itadori decisively took over the control of the battle, and the barriers alternately merged together.

"Triple Suffering" / "Compassionate Ferry for Universal Salvation"

... Itadori's Innate Domain is the place where he grew up. Unlike ordinary sorcerers, Itadori's sorcerer talent was only officially activated after he swallowed Sukuna's Finger. Therefore, Yuji Itadori's domain was formed at the moment he swallowed the finger.

Itadori's Cursed Technique is Malevolent Shrine unawakened Cursed Technique inscribed by Sukuna when she resided within him. It has three conditions for unleashing a domain: Innate Domain, a guaranteed hit Cursed Technique, and Barrier Technique.

The Itadori did not grant the field a guaranteed Cursed Technique; at best, this field could only be considered a large-scale "Simple Domain."

However, within Itadori's heart, that unique Innate Domain with a peculiar "functionality."

If the battle continues, the renewed fighting spirit of Fushiguro Megumi Fushiguro, the unleashed domain of Yuji Itadori, Inverted Spear of Heaven, and Playful Cloud... all these factors, coupled with Yuji Itadori's almost self-controlled Black Flash and his anticipated awakening, will completely tilt the battle in their favor.

but...

Ten thousand hands slammed the ground, and black liquid metal gushed out instantly, rushing towards the location of Itadori like seawater. From within the black metal, the cage containing Sukuna was spat out by the liquid metal, and Sukuna, whose body was exposed, used that strange voice to shout out two words that were enough to decide the outcome of the battle.

"Qi Kuo."

Itadori's gaze Itadori as he looked around; a memory from his time at the Juvenile Detention Center had suddenly appeared in his mind.

I have two conditions.

"First, if I utter the word 'Enchain,' then you must relinquish control of your body to me for one minute."

"Then, I need you to forget about this agreement."

Binding Vow complete.

"Hahahaha!!! I never expected this... I guessed right!!!"

With the return of his memories, Sukuna's markings reappeared on Itadori's face, and Sukuna, who had regained control, was overjoyed. But at this moment, he dared not be negligent in the slightest, punching through the cage and tearing out the "flesh" inside.

When Sukuna shouted "Enchain, "Fushiguro had already come to his senses. Looking at Yuji Itadori, who suddenly made an inexplicable move, Fushiguro first had doubts. Then, after hearing the high-pitched tone that clearly did not belong to Itadori, he immediately raised his hands.

"Buryūbu-- "

"Ah Hui! You can't..."

The black liquid metal instantly bound Fushiguro's hands. Immediately afterwards, the ten fingers that Kenjaku had placed on Wan's body were also spat out from the liquid metal. Sukuna then grabbed Fushiguro's chin with his large hand, forcing him to open his mouth.

As the ten fingers and Sukuna's body were swallowed, Fushiguro's eyes rolled back, and Itadori's consciousness returned to his body—

"Sukuna!!!!"

Bang!!!!

Before he could even throw a punch, the black liquid metal knocked Itadori away with his elbow, and Sukuna was also lifted up by the liquid metal and returned to Man's side—the two's domains were still clashing, and Man's domain had already fallen behind Itadori's in the clash.

Itadori slid along the stone path in Iwate for a while before regaining his balance. He angrily raised his head and looked at Sukuna in front of him, while Sukuna stretched out his body for his new flesh.

"Oh~ Sukuna, still keeping that face, are you trying to have a sibling romance with me?"

Itadori stared intently at Sukuna —seeing the marks on his close friend Fushiguro's face—and once again charged towards the tsunami-like liquid metal.

"Sukuna!!!!"
