Don't Move!
At this moment, Jujutsu High was urgently preparing for something.
"Gojo-sensei! Attack me all you want!!!"
Accompanied by intense music, Kinji Hakari, in his Jackpot State, was facing off against the two the Strongest —a plan proposed by Sukuna. The plan was that once Satoru Gojo Hajime Kashimo and Sukuna's form declined, Shion would step in to take over, trying to hold off Kinji Hakari Zenin Xuan as much as possible, before returning to the studio with Sukuna and Satoru Gojo to unleash "Black Flash" on Kinji in his Grand Prize form.
To complete this plan, Sukuna and Satoru Gojo had been playing the Grand Prix Scale for at least 10 days, and the feel for firing Black Flash was already in their hands, not to mention that Satoru Gojo had just fired a Black Flash.
On one side of the studio, black lightning kept exploding, while on the other side, a group of people were gathered together, staring intently at the screen.
Hajime Kashimo and Zenin Xuan were inside the barrier after the Domain Expansion, while the other students from the Jujutsu High could not see what was happening inside the barrier at all. They could only sit down and plan the next battle.
"When Lu Ziyun is on the verge of failure, I will go instead."
Yuta Okkotsu stepped forward voluntarily, while Itadori immediately asked—
"Is that okay? I can do it too--"
"Itadori, you must be the last to appear."
Just as Itadori was about to volunteer, Kenjaku stepped forward and poured cold water on his enthusiasm. Then, he looked at Yuta Okkotsu.
"Let me go with you, wait a moment."
"... After I leave, Rika will leave too. After that, Rika will spit out the studio and put it aside, while Kenjaku and I will intercept Zenin Xuan."
Everyone except Itadori nodded silently, while Itadori raised his head.
"Yuta Okkotsu Sister Yigu--"
"... Um?"
Take care.
"It's alright, I'll take you younger students out to eat when I get back."
Sizzle!
With a deafening clap of thunder, Hajime Kashimo's hand struck Xuan's shoulder once more—accompanied by flashes of cyan lightning, Xuan's shoulder transformed into Lightning —then immediately shed its lightning appearance and reverted back to its original form.
Boom!
Xuan simply slammed his Iron Mountain Lean into Hajime Kashimo's body, and a powerful explosion of Cursed Energy instantly appeared on Hajime Kashimo's body, her deep purple Lightning body shooting out—before she even landed, Xuan reappeared.
The formed shadow blade sliced through Hajime Kashimo's body in an instant, cutting him diagonally. Hajime Kashimo Hajime Kashimo activated Cursed Technique to sew his body back together. Despite possessing Sukuna- level Cursed Energy, Xuan's attack could still easily sever his body.
Hajime Kashimo, whose body had been stitched back together in an instant, twisted her entire body—slamming a powerful, heavy foot into Xuan's body, incidentally enhancing half of his face into "Mythical Beast Amber".
Click.
Xuan deliberately let Hajime Kashimo's attack land on him. The nature of the Mythical Beast Amber piqued his interest, and at the same time, he also wanted to find an answer from Hajime Kashimo.
Boom!
Black lightning erupted from Xuan's casual punch once more. The amplification brought by Piercing Ox Hun was now terrifyingly powerful—under the amplification of the Black Flash, the space of the barrier trembled, seemingly on the verge of collapsing at any moment.
Hajime Kashimo's feet were on the ground of the domain barrier. After gliding for hundreds of meters, he raised his head.
The condensed electricity gathered in his mouth to form an electric sphere. After charging for a moment, Lu Ziyun suddenly spat out several cannons from his mouth. Immediately afterwards, the electric spheres that almost covered the entire barrier space were continuously sprayed out by Hajime Kashimo.
Seeing the spectacular scene before him, Xuan stomped his foot on the ground, and the shadows in the Yama instantly surged towards the massive electric balls that were being sprayed out like a tsunami—the two kinds of Cursed Energy erupted and canceled each other out, finally returning to nothingness in an explosion.
The barrier of the domain collapsed and dissipated in an instant—the moment the barrier collapsed, Hajime Kashimo repaired the changes in his brain that had been assimilated by the lightning, thus avoiding the "Cursed Technique Burnout" that would have been a death sentence for him.
Xuan's repair speed was even faster than his; by the time Hajime Kashimo regained her third eye, Xuan had already completed the repair of the Burnout.
"The Zenin Xuan!"
Lightning exploded on Hajime Kashimo's body in an instant. As Hajime Kashimo's fists continued to fall, Xuan also retaliated without showing any weakness.
"In my time, your name has almost disappeared—all we know is that there was a guy who had no rivals!"
Sizzle!
The amplification from the Black Flash, coupled with the feeling of being on the verge of death, spurred Hajime Kashimo to rapidly develop her Cursed Technique —her continuous ground-stomping charge filled the ground with "electricity."
The electric current formed by the Cursed Energy accumulated in various places along with Hajime Kashimo's movements. Just as Hajime Kashimo was calculating and about to succeed, Xuan once again burst out with a speed that Hajime Kashimo could not even imagine.
Boom!
With a loud bang, Hajime Kashimo's body crashed into the city not far away, while Xuan raised his hand.
"Untie."
Immediately, a large number of broken eaves and walls flew up from where Hajime Kashimo was. The grid-like slashes fell on Hajime Kashimo's location like dense rain. Hajime Kashimo gasped sharply—the air was compressed and condensed by the Cursed Energy.
Bon!
Several cannon barrels condensed once again from Hajime Kashimo's mouth, and a "fan" that sucked in air suddenly unfolded behind him. With the objects behind him running at full power, the spherical electromagnetic air cannon, like a tsunami, instantly cut and shattered the Grid Dismantle.
After deflecting the attack from the Zenin Xuan, Hajime Kashimo immediately slammed her hands on the ground—the large amount of electromagnetic energy remaining in the ground instantly pierced through the earth, coalescing into solid electromagnetic spikes, and Hajime Kashimo immediately stomped her feet on the ground—
Sizzle--
His body was transmitted through several electromagnetic spikes. Within those fictitious lines, Hajime Kashimo instantly accelerated to the speed of light. The moment his body emerged from the electromagnetic field, Zenin Xuan's palm was already pressed against him.
Click.
"Eight"
The slash instantly shredded Hajime Kashimo's entire body, but Hajime Kashimo's Cursed Technique was quickly restored after being shattered—under the powerful Mythical Beast Amber, it was almost impossible to kill Hajime Kashimo without dispelling the Mythical Beast Amber.
"Chaos."
Tentacles formed of murky, Cursed Energy energy erupted from Hajime Kashimo's body. As Hajime Kashimo's eyes widened, the Chaos took effect— Hajime Kashimo's brain was swiftly and completely destroyed, then instantly returned to its original state, thus preventing the prolonged effects of the Chaos from excessively impacting Hajime Kashimo.
Snap!
Hajime Kashimo's body tightly, followed by a loud bang as Hajime Kashimo's arm was ripped off.
Although the lightning quickly replaced his missing arm, Hajime Kashimo Hajime Kashimo was stunned the moment she looked up and saw the arm flashing with deep purple lightning land on Xuan's arm.
Mahoraga's adaptation was complete—but the roulette wheel had not yet stopped spinning. Now, Mahoraga only needed one more spin to begin learning.
Click.
Mahoraga's learning is largely aimed at countering his opponent's moves. For example, when he learns the Divine Dog's slash, two moves will appear: one is "stitching," and the other is a targeted slash.
At this moment, the "Mythical Beast Amber" that Hajime Kashimo brought allowed Xuanxue to learn about "Mythical Beast Amber".
But compared to Hajime Kashimo's Lightning- filled Cursed Energy, Xuan only turned Hajime Kashimo's arms into a black shadow.
Can you?
"Partial Phantom Beast transformation? I can do that now—but it's probably useless now."
He had already learned the skill when he first used Black Flash, but now it's completely useless.
Life was rapidly burning – Hajime Kashimo was also preparing to launch her final attack.
Judging from the current situation, he has already played his role. Zenin Xuan's condition has dropped to around 60% - how pitiful, he only managed to reduce the condition of the person in front of him by 10% after giving it his all.
"Mysterious."
"...?"
Xuan fiddled with the black shadow in his hand, while the Dharma Wheel above his head was also spinning briefly—during his rest time, he was also running the Mahoraga at full power without stopping for a moment.
"What exactly is Jujutsu Sorcerer? Why can't we, as human beings, get along with others?"
"... Who knows?"
"Before I die, I want to hear your thoughts clearly."
"Ugh, this is such a hassle, but I'll do my best to accommodate you. After all, you're quite memorable."
Click.
Xuan's magic ring spun once, and he strolled towards Hajime Kashimo.
What do you mean by becoming stronger?
"Becoming stronger... is about fighting stronger opponents. My life is built step by step through battles, and I have nothing else."
Have you ever been Curse?
Xuan put his hands on his hips and smiled at Hajime Kashimo in front of him.
"You wicked Curse User, before you die, you will exhaust your Cursed Energy to Curse you—in my first two hundred years, I have been subjected to an ocean of Curse."
"... No, I killed many people, and only a handful escaped from my grasp."
"Curse are terrifying... For me, who was still righteous back then, what was the most vicious Curse? To die a horrible death? To be torn to pieces? To live like a clown?"
Hajime Kashimo silent. His third eye scanned the Zenin Xuan, who was in the middle of his explanation, but he couldn't find a single flaw. So, he prepared to launch an all-out attack.
"... Hajime Kashimo, do you consider yourself righteous?"
Do you ever feel like you're evil?
Hajime Kashimo threw the question back at Xuan, who grinned, raised his finger, and pointed at Hajime Kashimo.
"Then you are righteous."
In Hajime Kashimo's third eye, he saw a flaw, and at that moment, Hajime Kashimo sudden move.
Sizzle!
With all his might, Hajime Kashimo, bathed in lightning, amplified his already powerful Cursed Technique to an even greater extent in an instant—and he named this move after the Phantom Beast created by his Cursed Technique.
"Qilin!"
Bathed in thunder, the Thunder Beast's entire body was completely assimilated by lightning as it stomped its feet on the ground—the title of Thunder God was now vividly displayed before the eyes of everyone in the studio.
"Lin!!!"
With a deafening roar of lightning, Hajime Kashimo's body was stretched to an extreme length in an instant. As the lightning within him rapidly struck the ground, Hajime Kashimo's attack arrived in front of Xuan.
As if by divine intervention, black lightning flashed amidst the deafening Lightning of thunder.
Xuan raised his arm the moment Hajime Kashimo's body crashed into him—a kick accompanied by lightning instantly struck his arm. As Xuan's arm exploded, the lightning on Hajime Kashimo's body suddenly contracted sharply.
"Mythical Beast Amber - Unlocked."
Under Mahoraga's adaptation, Hajime Kashimo's Mythical Beast Amber has been completely cracked, even reversed. The attack that was originally able to kick and shatter half of Xuan's body, forcing Xuan to consume a lot of his Cursed Energy, only shattered Xuan's arm and then dissipated completely.
The moment the Cursed Technique on Hajime Kashimo was lifted, the latter's body slumped into Xuan Zaisheng's newly formed arm.
"We are human first, then Jujutsu Sorcerer... If we cannot approach others because of our power, isn't that Curse?"
"Eat when you should eat, drink when you should drink. Powerful forces won't transform you into another kind of life; only the human heart will be forced to change..."
"Having lived for so long... I am no longer myself. I am the vengeful spirit of the Zenin Clan, a shadow made of Curse... On this path of no return, if I pause even for a moment, I will be devoured by the shadow..."
"Thank you so much, Hajime Kashimo, for listening to me."
"Ha... the Strongest."
Deep purple Lightning coiled around Hajime Kashimo's body, the Binding Vow effects slowly consuming his life force.
How was my final blow?
"Ask me? Haha... That's amazing!"
After hearing what he said, Hajime Kashimo, whose life had been kept afloat by Xuan's Reverse Cursed Technique, suddenly collapsed to the ground—electric current spread from his body, and his body, along with the scattered Cursed Energy, began to dissipate from his feet.
"I'll be waiting for you over there..."
Hajime Kashimo's body vanished completely amidst flickering lightning. As Hajime Kashimo Cursed Energy dissipated, Xuan Gang prepared to turn around—
"Don't move!!"
With a voice, Xuan's body trembled violently, but as soon as he heard those words, several hammer blows immediately reached his ears.
"Domain Expansion"
"Deadly Sentencing."
With the sound of a guillotine opening and closing, Xuan turned his head—and saw Yuta Okkotsu, holding a long sword, and Kenjaku fall together.
"It seems like the Cursed Energy wasn't used up much."
As the black barrier of the domain enveloped the three, the falling guillotine instantly emitted a white light, illuminating the people trapped in their seats within the arena.
"But that's enough... Thank you very much, Mr. Hajime Kashimo."
The Cursed Speech just now only gave Xuan a brief moment of immobilization, but that was enough for Yuta Okkotsu to expand his domain.
Seeing the expansion of the domain, Xuan naturally didn't sit idly by and wait for his doom—he fully understood the effects of Deadly Sentencing, and he now needed the Little Mo to come out and relieve his boredom.
so--
"Buryūbu, Yura Yura."
