Universal Salvation

"Hey, kid."

Within the Innate Domain Sukuna Fushiguro, Sukuna sat high above the mountain of corpses and sea of blood belonging to the Malevolent Shrine, idly scratching his ear.

"You don't really think that kid can beat Wan, do you?"

Sukuna looked at Fushiguro with disdain.

"Only mastering one area, relying entirely on unpredictable Black Flash for damage? If that's the case, they'll probably be defeated very quickly!"

Sukuna provoked Megumi Fushiguro, while Fushiguro slightly curled his lip.

"Itadori wouldn't be that kind of person."

Megumi Fushiguro did not lose her mind due to momentary anger. Even though Tsumiki's body was possessed by Ancient Sorcerers, Fushiguro did not think that Tsumiki was dead.

No... even if Tsumiki really dies, he will have the Angel perform the Jacob's Ladder once more, so that Tsumiki.

Looking at Megumi Fushiguro's serious face, Sukuna didn't say anything, nor did she want to say anything.

"Then just watch... kid."

Sukuna lay on the domain, leaning against the Shrine, indifferently watching Megumi Fushiguro Ena's hopeful eyes.

Without Uraume, I guess I'll have to prepare my own bath now?

Sukuna thought this, she probably also looked at her palm.

Squeeze, release, squeeze, release

The icy mist rolled in Sukuna's hands, and as Sukuna simply watched, the air pressure in the entire domain dropped considerably.

Meanwhile, outside, amidst the shattering of the triple agony, Wan entered the "Cursed Technique Burnout" phase. The black liquid metal hovering in the air disappeared, and Wan himself entered a period of weakness where he could only fight using Cursed Energy.

However, even without Cursed Technique, Wan's spell manipulation and Cursed Energy are enough to hold off Itadori for a while...

but.

As the Compassionate Ferry for Universal Salvation unfolded in full, the water flowed back onto the riverbed, the scene changing again and again, finally settling on a late autumn season.

Ding-dong... Ding-dong~

As the bell rang, Wan's eyes narrowed. The sight of his black-haired classmates and the bustling corridor made his thoughts sluggish.

What's going on here?

Wan desperately wanted to destroy the place with an attack, but the fighting spirit that had just risen in her heart was suppressed. She stood up, took the strawberry milk from under the table, and walked out of the classroom.

And there, Itadori was waiting for her outside.

Seeing Wan walk out of the classroom, Itadori didn't rush to speak, but instead walked downstairs on his own.

Compassionate Ferry for Universal Salvation, Yuji Itadori's "Domain Expansion," according to the personal experience of the Master of the Eight-Handled Sword, the effect of Yuji Itadori's unfinished domain is already quite significant. In fact, it seems that because there is no Cursed Technique, the effect of Compassionate Ferry for Universal Salvation has the effect of greatly weakening the opponent's fighting spirit.

In addition to these, it has other effects.

Yuji Itadori's Innate Domain, being an acquired one that is unique even in the history of Jujutsu Society, possesses extremely high plasticity. The three individuals who experienced the domain's mysteries, the blood of Michizane, and the Cursed Womb: Death Paintings, gave three completely different answers regarding the appearance of his domain, "A rural restaurant in Iwate Prefecture," "a classroom where Gojo-sensei personally taught at the Jujutsu High," and "a picnic he experienced with his younger brothers."

At this moment, in order to save Megumi Fushiguro, and even Tsumiki Fushiguro, Yuji Itadori chose to change his Innate Domain the high school Megumi Fushiguro he had seen that day.

By this time, Wan had already recognized the place. She remained silent for a moment before catching up with Itadori.

"This is the middle school that Fushiguro and her sister attended, right?"

As he stepped forward, Itadori opened his mouth and looked at the people around him, without turning his head to look at Wan.

"Why did you bring me here? If you're going to fight, shouldn't you have chosen a place more suitable for your Blood Manipulation?"

"... I have something I'd like to ask you."

The two walked to the staircase. Inside the area, Fushiguro, with a cold expression, walked up the stairs and brushed past the two who were coming down.

Realizing he couldn't muster the will to fight, Wan also realized that this area was most likely not the domain of the Blood Manipulation, but rather the domain of some unknown Cursed Technique.

The two went downstairs, walked to the vending machine, inserted coins, and each chose the drinks they wanted.

Gulp

Itadori picked up the can of carbonated drink and handed the strawberry milk that was shipped with it to Wan.

"As Player, you didn't intentionally take over someone's body. It was Kenjaku who killed Tsumiki... I really want to say that, but your actions in harming Megumi Fushiguro have made me extremely angry."

Itadori didn't open the carbonated drink immediately. The two leaned against the vending machine, surrounded by the noise of students. Wan, wearing a school uniform, opened the strawberry milk, took a sip, and then looked at Itadori with a puzzled expression.

"I definitely played a part in killing Tsumiki. If you're trying to shirk responsibility, that's definitely not a good idea."

"... I can see the outline of souls; perhaps this is my talent, but it may not be."

As he spoke, Itadori placed the cola aside.

"Mr. Xuan can perform Incarnation on the bodies of the dead; his soul has only a single outline. Hana Kurusu can live in harmony with Angel; her soul is a close fusion of the two... And you, Wan."

Itadori raised his head and looked at Man before him, at the scene where the unwilling soul was tightly embracing Man's body. After unleashing three consecutive Black Flash, Tsumiki's soul had tried to grab Man's soul. The two had similar outlines, but their strengths were completely different.

"Unlike other Player."

Itadori thought of Reggie and Huang Lu, whose soul outlines also had only a single form.

"I used to believe that everyone could be saved, and most people deserved to be saved... Even Cursed Spirit, I wondered, when they died, did they feel pain, or was it just darkness that made them unable to think of anything?"

The scenery around them changed in a series of moments. By the time Wan finished his strawberry milk, the two had arrived inside the Gymnasium — Megumi Fushiguro, with markings on her face, was sitting in the stands within the domain.

"Wan, were you afraid during the time you were dead?"

"Kid... what nonsense are you spouting? We're fighting... and you're already pitying me?"

"... Ah, yes."

Although Itadori said this, his clenched fists and the burst of Cursed Energy he exuded did not lie.

Because of Yuji Itadori's influence on battle spirit, the effect of the domain weakening battle spirit is diminishing, and since the domain has no additional Cursed Technique, there is naturally no need to deploy the Hollow Wicker Basket to deal with it.

Having prepared for battle, Itadori slowly spoke.

"But even out of pity, I will not let those Cursed Spirit go, nor will I let any evil person escape..."

"Okay!! Let's do it!!"
