Even if it's a Hundred Thousand Pigs!
As it turns out, Kenjaku was still too prone to misjudgment.
He originally thought that with four million low-level Cursed Spirit providing cover, and a small number of Cursed Spirit launching the main attack, the plan could at least delay the enemy for five minutes—or at the very least, three minutes?
but--
Boom!
A scene appeared in Kenjaku 'Kenjaku eyes that gave him a headache.
With a casual strike from Xuan, half of the Cursed Spirit turned to ashes in an instant—nearly five million Cursed Spirit were blasted into a cloud of dust by Zenin Xuan. Kenjaku gritted his teeth—at this rate, he estimated that not only could they not stall for time, but they would not even be able to achieve their goal of wearing Xuan down.
Boom!!!
Xuan casually slapped the ground, and a black tide spread and swirled within the barrier. After immobilizing almost all the Cursed Spirit Cursed Spirit, Ying instantly shattered them.
With such an exertion, no matter what level of Cursed Spirit it is, it is just as fragile as Grade 4 Cursed Spirit.
At least the consumption was achieved...
Kenjaku watched as he killed a large number of Cursed Spirit, but the energy expenditure was less than that of Mahoraga for a minute. The expression on his face changed from one of certainty to helplessness.
"Hey, Kenjaku."
Snap--
With a thud behind him, Sukuna's voice once again echoed on the battlefield—after firing three Black Flash at Kinji Hakari, Sukuna had returned to his original state.
Sukuna, lying on the ground, was still recalling the scene from before—that "Hajime Kashimo."
Holy crap, that guy was that strong? I'm never trash-talking online again. If he's burning from head to toe from the start, I'll have to give it my all.
Kenjaku immediately withdrew from the main battlefield—and at this moment, Xuan Ze raised his head and looked at Sukuna who had fallen.
"Oh, haven't you learned your lesson yet, Sukuna?"
"You no longer possess the Mahoraga... and your Cursed Energy is now almost identical to mine."
Do you think you can beat me?
"Just wait until Satoru Gojo on the other side defeats your Mahoraga."
"... It's so nice to have companions."
Listening to Xuan's words, Sukuna felt somewhat incredulous—the Xuan of the original world and himself in this world—himself of the original world and the Xuan of this world.
There are people to trust, a common goal, and absolute power to challenge. I never knew I would choose the same path as Zenin Xuan.
Sukuna stroked his back—before launching another attack, Itadori patted him hard on the back, and that look in his eyes, filled with complex emotions such as encouragement and compassion, left a deep mark on his heart.
"Yes, it feels so good to have friends."
As Xuan and Kenjaku's domain shattered, Xuan repaired his Cursed Technique's Burnout for the third time.
The two of them immediately raised their hands at the same time.
"Dragon Scales!"
"Recoil!"
"Paired Shooting Stars!"
The same incantation was chanted, and the World-Cutting Slash instantly cleaved through the Divine Dog's attack. Xuan was also violently cut in two on the spot, but the two pieces of Xuan left behind were merely shadows left by light.
Boom!
Before Sukuna could react, his body was sent flying several kilometers by a punch, and Xuan followed closely behind his flying body—until...
Smack
Floating in mid-air, Satoru Gojo grabbed Sukuna's shoulder with one hand. Satoru Gojo, who had just knocked Mahoraga away, had an extremely solemn expression. Not far behind Satoru Gojo, the Yuta Okkotsu was picked up by Kenjaku and carried away from the battlefield.
"Shall we end it all here?"
After Satoru Gojo helped Sukuna, he raised his head, his azure eyes fixed on Gen, who pursed his lips.
"Is it to end me, or to end you?"
"... Of course, it's to end you."
Satoru Gojo pointed at Gen in front of him, and Gen returned the gesture with a smile.
In the distance, Mahoraga, who had been blasted away, gritted his teeth. Instead of flying back, he simply vanished, dispelling his appearance.
"Just the two of you? Defeated opponents?"
"... If you don't defeat me with your first move—I'll get used to your moves too. Give it a try!"
"Satoru Gojo."
Sukuna and Satoru Gojo clasped their hands together, their combined Cursed Energy surging forth in an instant—
Sukuna's three mouths each utter a spell.
Phase, Twilight, Eyes of Wisdom.
Phase, Pillar of Light, Paramita.
As Mahoraga adapted, the two incantations constantly intertwined and collided. When the two simultaneously raised their fingers to draw swords, one red and one blue Cursed Energy appeared, both aimed at Zenin Xuan. At that moment, Zen-in-Gen sensed—
die.
"Nine Ropes, Polarized Light, Crow and Shomyo, inside and outside."
Snap!
Gen's figure suddenly appeared in front of Satoru Gojo and Sukuna. He first kicked Sukuna away, then his palm covered the Domain Amplification and suddenly grabbed Satoru Gojo's face and flung him away. This move was dangerous enough to kill, so it was Gen's job to stop it.
At that very moment, Satoru Gojo raised his hand.
"Dragon Scales, Recoil, Paired Shooting Stars."
Before Xuan could react, a deep, bone-revealing wound appeared on his body. Unlike Sukuna's wound, this one spread rapidly. Xuan gritted his teeth, and the golden Dharma Wheel spun instantly. The spreading wound disappeared in a moment, and Xuan himself was forced back.
"I see..."
Xuan's eyes narrowed slightly. The nature of the slash just now was different from that of Sukuna's Cursed Energy. It couldn't be an activation type brought about by the magic seal. Moreover, the chanting of the incantation was also... because Satoru Gojo possessed Satoru Gojo Six Eyes, and his innate manipulation of Cursed Energy was different from Sukuna's slightly crude awakening compared to Sukuna.
"You inscribed the Cursed Technique —and, at Sukuna's suggestion, right?"
"... I can understand your deduction of the former, but why the latter?"
"Because Sukuna is clearly different now—ah, I get it, I get it, the balance of the world has kicked in, binding you, the Six Eyes Child, and this King of Curses together—that's why you have that kind of technique, right?"
At this moment, Sukuna had just flown back— Zenin Xuan's words made him feel a sense of crisis, and Xuan looked at him, his golden eyes revealing a feeling that made Sukuna's spine go cold.
"No matter how many times you understand my Cursed Technique and dodge my punches—or use the same moves as me, but ones I haven't shown you..."
"Stop listening to his nonsense! Sukuna!!"
Satoru Gojo interrupted this pointless conversation, stomped his feet on the air, and flew towards Sukuna in front of him.
Sukuna reacted in a moment. He immediately clapped his hands together, and at the same time, a Mahoraga flew from where he had just landed toward Xuan.
"Max Elephant!"
"Phase, Twilight, Eyes of Wisdom."
"... Piercing Ox Niu Hun, Mahoraga."
With a single punch, Piercing Ox Niuhun sent the flying Mahoraga flying. He then leaped up, grabbed Sukuna, and slammed Mahoraga down onto the ground. Mahoraga caught Piercing Water with one hand and simultaneously unleashed a slash at Sukuna.
Gen immediately leaped up again—but just as he was about to reach Satoru Gojo, Satoru Gojo suddenly retreated a short distance.
It was astonishing that Cang was instantly changing his position.
The raised finger then tossed out the Azure that Satoru Gojo had prepared.
Bass!
The moment Cang unleashed his attack, Gen's body had already arrived behind Satoru Gojo. His fist, extending from his domain, shattered the Limitless defense in an instant, striking Satoru Gojo from behind—
The moment after the initial impact, Satoru Gojo's spinning swing punch, accelerated several times by He, slammed into Gen's chest.
"Call!"
The crimson energy, which had been injected into his body, was released from the circular opening that had been transformed into a shadow. The crimson energy rushed towards Satoru Gojo like a storm, but the damage was greatly reduced because of the shared Cursed Energy —and Gojo smiled.
"Not bad! Let's give each other a hug!"
Satoru Gojo Satori grabbed Gen's body with both hands in a ring. At that moment, dozens of ghouls exploded behind Gen. Satoru Gojo, who was holding Gen's body, was not idle. Instead, he guided his Cursed Energy to complete a slash on Gen's back.
After Satoru Gojo and Sukuna sparred by swapping souls, both of them left "slight" traces of the Cursed Technique on each other's brains. Unlike Sukuna, Satoru Gojo's precise manipulation allowed him to perform precise micro-operations on the brain. After completing the Reverse Cursed Technique Healing Cursed Technique Burnout, he used the Black Flash he unleashed on Kinji Hakari to stimulate his potential.
He has now also acquired the Malevolent Shrine's Cursed Technique.
However, since Megumi Fushiguro remained inside Sukuna's body from beginning to end, the inscribed Cursed Technique was not yet activated—so Satoru Gojo had not yet awakened the Ten Shadows.
As the two crashed to the ground, Satoru Gojo immediately distanced himself from Gen. Gen felt the slashes bursting through his body, and the borrowed Mahoraga Cursed Technique instantly repelled and destroyed the slashing Cursed Technique left in his body. Satoru Gojo was not much better off. He casually tore off the arm that had been transformed into a shadow, and a perfect arm grew back once more.
"People who talk about love and hate... their minds are full of those kinds of things, they won't live long."
"I've lived for six hundred years, you know."
Upon hearing Gen's reply, Satoru Gojo paused for a moment, then touched his mouth.
"That's true, that's true."
"I have nothing in this world that I care about, no one to miss, and no emotions whatsoever..."
"Huh? Then what's the point of killing everyone in the world?"
"... I just want to kill everyone in Japan."
Why?
"There's no particular reason. It's because I'm in Japan. If I were in United States, I'd destroy the whole of United States. If I were in Antarctica, I'd catch all the penguins and slaughter them."
"Penguins are quite cute."
"To be honest, if I had been born in Antarctica, I could have been the king of penguins for hundreds more years."
Gen and Satoru Gojo walked side by side—if it weren't for the city beside them crumbling step by step due to the battle between Sukuna and Mahoraga, the two would have been chatting like ordinary friends.
"I understand, I understand. I am the head of the Gojo Clan. It's normal for me to have thoughts of killing everyone after being in that position for a while."
"Compared to the Gojo Clan, I think the Zenin Clan is even worse."
"Sigh, none of them are any better. They're all brainless, just standing around taking advantage of you. If they weren't still useful, I would have killed them long ago. Although I killed a lot of high-ranking people after breaking the seal, what about you?"
"I've endured it for ten years."
"You're practically a talking steel plate."
"Then I only kept the children and the women."
"It seems we still have common ground. Just like Sukuna, you only realize after getting to know him that he's just an ancient person who even eats roasted meat with his hands--"
The two strolled through the crumbling city, and then, at the same time, looked into each other's eyes.
"Domain Expansion" / "Domain Expansion"
"Unlimited Void" / "Dark and Obscure Yama"
The two people's Cursed Energy erupted at the same time. The Unlimited Void that was unleashed first hit the Ryomen Sukuna and Guan Niu Hun in an instant. Affected by the Unlimited Void, the person and the Shikigami Piercing Ox immediately unable to stop the attack of the person in front of them, while the two Mahoraga that were still able to move immediately looked at each other.
Then, Yama and Unlimited Void faced off. The two formed hand seals, and amidst the surging Cursed Energy, the two Mahoraga, who had adapted to the domain, clashed—the golden Dharma Wheel above their heads slowly began to rotate.
Boom!
As Sukuna's Mahoraga was slammed to the ground with a heavy kick, Gen and Satoru Gojo, realizing that their respective domains were spreading at the same speed and neither could gain the upper hand, immediately abandoned their domain battle and began fighting each other.
Gen and Satoru Gojo's fists collided.
Click.
Adapting to Cang and He is extremely difficult, let alone Zi.
Judging from the speed at which the Mahoraga adapts to Chaos, it would take the Mahoraga eight days to fully adapt to a Hollow Technique, but that would only be Chaos.
The effects of Zi are comparable to those of Chaos, and the time required for its effects is also similar.
Even after fighting for so long, Xuan has only adapted to Cang a second time.
But even so, Xuan could naturally think of a solution.
"You should thank Hajime Kashimo for buying you so much time."
Snap!
Gen caught Satoru Gojo's fist as he swung it again, then slapped Satoru Gojo in the chest.
"Of course, I also want to thank him."
As the Copy Mythical Beast Amber activated, Azure energy surged once again into Satoru Gojo's chest. The azure energy was expelled from Gen's body, but Azure did not cause much damage to Satoru Gojo. Taking advantage of this moment, Satoru Gojo immediately kicked Gen.
From the perspective of the Six Eyes, Satoru Gojo had already seen clearly that Gen had transformed the area where he was struck into a form completely composed of Cursed Energy, then hollowed out the center and used the Cursed Energy to guide it out.
so--
Boom!
At the moment he kicked Gen, Satoru Gojo used both the Malevolent Shrine" and "Limitless"Cursed Technique to detonate and explode Kagami directly in Gen's waist and abdomen.
At this moment, Satoru Gojo had already figured out a way to deal with Gen—the moment he used Sukuna's Cursed Energy to unleash two Maximum Technique of Sukuna as an external Cursed Energy, Gen panicked for the first time.
In other words, that move was effective against Xuan...
Although the conditions are difficult, isn't this the first victory that's within reach?
