Maximum Technique

The Maximum Technique, as its name suggests, is a skill that appears when Cursed Technique is pushed to its limit. It is a "powerful move" driven by Cursed Energy, second only to the Domain Expansion, and is rarely used even in the Jujutsu Society.

Having grasped the Cursed Technique of a domain, one often overlooks skills like the Maximum Technique, which only develop Cursed Technique. However, in the hundred years immediately following being struck by Chaos, Satoru Gojo only managed to organize the awakening of Hell to launch a counterattack during the period immediately after being struck. The rest of the time, he devoted himself to thinking about the development of Cursed Technique.

Now, as the incantation was chanted, azure Cursed Energy appeared on the Divine Dog's body. In an instant, the Cursed Energy amplified to the extreme by the magical power caused the azure dog's body to shrink drastically—until it became so small that it turned black, leaving only the size of a grain of sand.

"Woof?!"

At the moment the Maximum Technique Form was completed, the Dharma Wheel above the Divine Dog's head spun once more—he became able to resist part of the Azure's suction force.

The Divine Dog stomped the ground frantically, while swinging the Sword of Extermination —a powerful attraction drew the Sword of Extermination Sword of Extermination, and as it approached Cang, it twisted and deformed before breaking.

The immense gravitational pull of the Maximum Technique Azure Sea held the Divine Dog's body firmly in place. Even with its powerful stomping of the ground, the Divine Dog, at its speed, could not escape this suction force—a force so immense it could almost be called a "black hole."

Thud! Bang!

As the Divine Dog's body was captured by Cang, Tear-Tooth—Xuan's body reappeared in mid-air.

Snap! Snap! Snap!

"Wonderful! This has really piqued my interest... Ahh... My Divine Dog has finally left me."

As the Divine Dog tore the Gojo apart, Gojo, who had been about to pop the champagne, immediately frowned—even that suction hadn't been enough to capture Gen... and moreover...

As the Six Eyes swept across the area, Satoru Gojo quickly understood the state of the mysterious figure before him.

They weren't depleted at all, although both he and Sukuna were still at full strength—but...

"But... Sukuna, aren't you relying on Satoru Gojo too much?"

Xuan Meng clapped his hands and once again formed the Yama's hand seal.

"I will now Binding Vow, separating you... Ah, Sukuna, when it comes to fighting Shikigami —you must win, Domain Expansion..."

"Zenin Xuan!!!"

At that moment, Sukuna shouted out again.

Is strength lonely? Does strength mean being unable to communicate with those around you—is it an inability to get along with normal people?

Sukuna needed to have one more exchange. If this exchange also failed, it would mean that the mystery before him could not be won over.

"Ah... even if you don't feel lonely, being powerful will make you lonely... with unparalleled strength, fewer and fewer people will come looking for you. If you don't do evil, no one will come looking for you anymore, because you are too strong."

Why? Why are you so sure?

"That's how it is... If you don't kill your opponent, fewer people will come after you. One by one—after the information gets out, the next person to come will be either a fool or someone confident in their own strength."

Zenin Xuan stood in the Sky Manipulation, his golden eyes fixed on Sukuna before him.

"After living for 132 years, no one came looking for me anymore—so I took over the Zenin Clan, and to let my mother rest in peace, I slaughtered all those who resisted me like wild dogs... After ruling for about two years, I got bored."

"..."

"My senses are ten times stronger than a normal person's—a second is divided into ten parts in my eyes. If I continue to live, I will keep becoming less human. So... for two hundred and sixty years, I have been searching for a way to escape this kind of perception, even if it means going insane."

"I found it!!! Hahahaha!!! Sukuna!!!"

Xuan opened his arms, and black Cursed Energy mixed with golden lightning surged forth. With just one glance, Sukuna confirmed that Xuan's Cursed Energy was at least twice that of his own.

"Finally... I don't have to endure those agonizing hours anymore, I don't have to relive those times anymore... I don't have to force myself to leave the bustling streets, I can eat food made by humans, I can talk to humans..."

"I've had enough!!!"

"But... I've already made myself like a mummy—the first time I approached a crowd, they ran around like they'd seen a monster—ah, I'm so strong, I didn't hurt them... but that stall owner went crazy and poured scalding hot oil all over me."

Zenin Xuan stopped, and the Cursed Energy spread out like a spider web. Satoru Gojo and Sukuna immediately felt their hearts being squeezed, and at the same time, they stepped on the air and were blown away.

"Ah... it stings so much... the scalding hot oil is burning my skin—the oil is sizzling and popping... I shouldn't be hurt by these things, but at that moment... I felt..."

Xuan's fingers lightly touched his chest.

"I felt a sharp pain in my heart..."

A spiderweb-like barrier separated Sukuna, Gen, and Gojou—black Satoru Gojo formed a dense net, scattering the three apart—as Sukuna raised his hand, before he could even utter the incantation, an opponent appeared before him.

"Nue·Hun"

At this moment, Nue had inherited the body of the Divine Dog. As her feet touched the ground, her two huge wings had transformed into grasping hands. Her face and figure were clearly female, and she wore a golden Dharma Wheel on her head.

It's obvious that Mahoraga is behind it.

Sukuna gritted his teeth—this time, Yama was not confrontational—so it wouldn't affect his domain, but it suppressed the space of their Open Domain, so they could only use a closed domain.

However... in order to reinforce Satoru Gojo, he must immediately deal with the Shikigami in front of him and prove his strength.

"Domain Expansion!"

"Domain Expansion!"

At the same time that Sukuna unfolded his domain, Nue Hun, his opponent, also raised his hand. As the Dharma Wheel above his head spun past, Nue Hun's hand formed the Indra Hand Sign.

"The Malevolent Shrine."

"Ten Thousand Poisons Thunder Formation."

Nuehun, as one of the Shikigami under Xuan's command with obvious intelligence, has been able to independently open its domain after growing for six hundred years—and Sukuna naturally expected this as well.

Nue's domain is composed of Great Serpent's Cursed Technique "Snake" and Nue's Cursed Technique "Thunder"—the Innate Domain Shikigami naturally a manifestation of its master's Innate Domain. Therefore, the unfolding Ten Thousand Poisons Thunder Array is also a spider web-like domain, clinging to a deadly field with Cursed Energy- like electric currents.

Sukuna's eyes were fixed on Nue Hun—his opponent's adaptation was probably attributed to Mahoraga, therefore—his own Cursed Technique should have been adapted to. Simply using slashing attacks would absolutely not be able to defeat Nue Hun in front of him; he could only resort to Furnace: Open.

But... the Furnace: Open without any dust.

No, there is—looking at Nue Hun, who had completely adapted to his Cursed Technique, Sukuna came up with a good idea.

Meanwhile, on the other side...

The moment the domain was formed, Gen and Satoru Gojo each charged at the other—with several magic seals flashing, Gen unleashed this incredibly fast hook punch—

Snap!

After experiencing Chaos, Satoru Gojo grasped the use of this "bullet time" technique. Although his reflexes were already quite sharp, Satoru Gojo was confident that he could defend against all of Gen's attacks within this Limitless segmented one-second time.

Bang!

Gojo's palm exploded open with a second burst of force from his fist— the Cursed Technique and Cursed Energy only completed their burst a moment after impact.

This is... Yuji's Divergent Fist?!

Satoru Gojo immediately raised his leg and swept it high, kicking Xuan's floating body away with a kick that also included a kick from He. Xuan then glided through the air for a moment before stepping forward again, using solidified Cursed Energy.

As white smoke rose from his arm, Satoru Gojo stepped forward again, dodging Gen's fist with a sidestep, then delivering a powerful swing to Gen's face. Gen coughed, vomiting up the ghee that had been poured into his cheek. He then grabbed a black shadow and swung it—

The rippling black waves instantly carried away Satoru Gojo and Kaku, but Satoru Gojo didn't stop at all. As he raised his finger and aimed it at Gen, he began to chant a spell.

"Phase, Twilight, Eyes of Wisdom"

The black shadow was drawn towards the blue sphere of Cursed Energy floating in the air—but in Satoru Gojo's Six Eyes vision, Gen's figure had already disappeared.

"Life Return, Sunken Abyss, the Lightless Depths."

As the sound came from behind, the burst of Cursed Energy had already reached Satoru Gojo's waist and abdomen— Satoru Gojo immediately activated Azure—to block the shadow's Cursed Energy at his waist and abdomen.

Then, he turned around and delivered a powerful punch, sending Xuan flying.

call--

With a whoosh of wind, Xuan's body came to a stop in mid-air. He gently touched his chest where he had been struck, took out the inner elixir wrapped in a shadow ball, and then crushed it.

Is it because of Six Eyes?

Are you asking why I can feel it?

"Otherwise what?"

"Yes."

Satoru Gojo did indeed need some breathing room—in the battle just now, even with his Azure Acceleration, he was still far slower than Gen in front of him. Although he could defend against Gen's attacks, if the battle continued like this, he would quickly be defeated under what his opponent considered practice.

The output of the Maximum Technique Ban Cang is definitely enough to damage Xuan in front of him—but the summoning and appearance of the Cursed Energy are too obvious—meaning the hit rate is worrying. At this moment, Satoru Gojo wished he could be hit by another Chaos, so that he would have time to study how to bury the Maximum Technique Ban Cang into his Cang Fist.

"Have you rested enough, Satoru Gojo?"

"Come again, Zenin Xuan!"

As the Hekken exploded beneath his feet, Satoru Gojo arrived in front of Gen in an instant. Gen immediately raised his hand to block the punch. The internal explosion brought by the Red Fist blasted Gen's arm apart in an instant, but before the pieces of flesh left Gen's hand, the Reverse Cursed Technique had already repaired Gen's arm completely.

"I can't have my fill yet— Satoru Gojo!!"

Xuan raised his hand and punched Satoru Gojo, sending him flying into the air. Black lightning burst out— Black Flash Satoru Gojo's entire face was smashed after taking the hit—and only when he stopped in mid-air did the rotten flesh on his face recover with the help of the Reverse Cursed Technique.

"Hurry up! Let me get serious!"

Gen's body suddenly appeared above Satoru Gojo —a heavy, dull stomp landed on Satoru Gojo's back, accompanied by an explosion of Cursed Energy. Gojo Satoru Gojo immediately unleashed three consecutive attacks in front of him—

Heh... plus Cang.

Satoru Gojo spun around and struck Gen in the side with an elbow strike, then quickly shifted his position in mid-air, delivering a sweeping kick to the spot where the elbow had struck.

"Nine Ropes, Polarized Light"

The incantation had barely been uttered when Xuan appeared before Satoru Gojo, his fist, shrouded in black shadow, delivering a heavy blow to Satoru Gojo's abdomen with a violent whooshing sound.

"Ugh—cough!"

With Satoru Gojo gritted his teeth, grabbed Gen's head, and quickly wrapped his legs around Gen's waist. Then, with all his might, he slammed his head into Gen's face—black lightning suddenly erupted! This headbutt actually produced Black Flash?!

Amplified by the Black Flash, Gen's face contorted. Satoru Gojo immediately seized the opportunity, releasing the Cursed Energy as red and blue Cursed Energy appeared in his hands. As Gen's body leaned back due to the Black Flash, Satoru Gojo's fists landed repeatedly on various parts of Gen's body.

"The Nine Ropes Polarized Light Crow and Shomyo Between Front and Back --"

The incantation slipped from his mouth as if it were burning hot. Although Xuan tried his best to expel a large amount of Cursed Energy, the Cursed Energy gathered in his body kept trying to merge together.

Boom!!!!!

Accompanied by a purple shockwave of Cursed Energy, the fierce battle was also transmitted into Rika's body by the Mei Mei crows.

At this moment, "Rika" is enveloping everyone at the Jujutsu High, broadcasting the war that determined the fate of Japan, and even the world, from every angle.

Amidst the deafening explosion, everyone's hearts were in their throats, but as purple Cursed Energy surged like a tidal wave engulfing the entire barrier, the students of the Jujutsu High completely lost sight of Satoru Gojo.

Having lost sight of Satoru Gojo's position, the group could only look at the part of the field of vision that was observing Sukuna, but Sukuna and Nue were enveloped in a barrier, and the crows could not detect them at all.

Within the sealed barrier, Sukuna's domain was still stronger than Nue Hun's domain—but Mahoraga had already adapted to his slashes, so no matter what, he would remain on the defensive.

As the slashes continued to cut through Nue's limbs, Nue's adaptation reached its final stage—constant recovery and extremely high damage reduction allowed her to stand before Sukuna.

"Turn on the stove!"

The flames instantly ignited around Nue Hun—and in doing so, melted away the outer shell of the barrier. The Flame of Ten Thousand Deaths reappeared in Sukuna's hands, and Sukuna began to ponder whether his own Cursed Technique could be developed.

As the flames rose, Nuehun's body disintegrated and vanished—at the same time, the spider web formed by Yama also disappeared completely.

At the moment Yama's barrier fell, Sukuna saw a constantly shifting black screen, and from within the curtain of shadows, a golden eye turned around.
