Curse

In the studio, having expended a great deal of energy restoring the Yuta Okkotsu Itadori under his command, Yigu was now anxiously watching the message sent back by the Mei Mei Raven. The moment purple energy and flames exploded on the battlefield, Yuta Okkotsu suddenly sat up.

"Did we win?!"

A tearing pain shot through Yuta Okkotsu Yuta Okkotsu's lower back and spread throughout his body, causing him to clench his teeth.

"Yuta ~!!"

Upon hearing Yuta Okkotsu's voice, Itadori immediately raised his head.

In the Mei Mei's vision, purple energy once again caused explosions at the places that had been torn apart by the Strongest attacks, and along with the rising purple flames, Satoru Gojo, who had already escaped the attack.

Yuta Okkotsu was pressed back onto the bed by Iori Shoko Ieiri.

"Don't move."

Having endured repeated attacks from Mahoraga, and after adapting to the Boogie Woogie in order to prevent Mahoraga from completely killing Yuta Okkotsu, Rika and Yuta Okkotsu had almost exhausted all their Cursed Energy. Now, the wounds on their bodies cut by the Sword of Extermination could not even be treated with simple Reverse Cursed Technique. After Shoko Ieiri simply stopped the bleeding, she began to gradually clear the energy of the Reverse Cursed Technique trapped in Yuta Okkotsu's wounds.

For the three the Strongest, the reversal treatment was as simple as drinking water, but it was a difficult problem to deal with on the rear battlefield.

Fortunately, Yuji Itadori was there.

After swallowing the Cursed Womb: Death Paintings, Yuji Itadori learned the Blood Manipulation —and with the aid of the Choso, the Blood Manipulation advanced by leaps and bounds.

Although it doesn't help the overall battle, Itadori's rear support capabilities are completely overpowered.

Everyone around watched the battlefield with grim expressions. In the deep purple flames, everyone eagerly awaited news of Zenin Xuan's death—even Satoru Gojo, standing outside the pillar of fire, still wore a serious expression.

"This should be enough to defeat him, right?"

Satoru Gojo's consciousness began to converse with Sukuna, while Sukuna remained silent.

"..."

The two's four Six Eyes relentlessly searched for Xuan's whereabouts. With the blessing of the stove-opening, all the "fragments" became nourishment for Zi. The move that could erase everything blasted Satoru Gojo away the moment it was released.

As the Hollow Technique energy continued to surge, even Satoru Gojo's Six Eyes could not discern whether Zenin Xuan still existed.

"I have a bad feeling."

Sukuna's voice came from his mouth on his cheek, while Satoru Gojo, who sensed the mysterious aura from the surging purple energy, slapped his face.

"Remember to stop next time, don't start."

Smack

tread.

Amidst the vanishing pillar of purple flames, Zenin Xuan staggered out. At this moment, the King of Curses had only one-tenth of his Cursed Energy remaining—he could only barely support his body with his shadow. Satoru Gojo, facing the King of Curses, finally felt the tension ease.

Ha! Hahahahahahahahaha!!

Xuan stumbled and was helped by Shadow to the two of them. His Cursed Energy was almost completely gone, and the ends of his black hair were turning white. Then, in front of the two of them, Xuan once again drew the Eight-Handled Sword and the Sword of Extermination.

Satoru Gojo and Sukuna naturally wouldn't sit idly by and wait for their doom—but...

Maintaining the dual Mahoraga, having activated the second domain, and having been struck in the core of his Cursed Energy — Satoru Gojo, who had unleashed this attack, now had very little Cursed Energy left—and even the triple Limitless he had been maintaining had been deactivated.

"This feels so wonderful... Sukuna, Satoru Gojo —I'll never forget you two!!! Come on, let's dance one last time!!"

Two longswords drew continuous blade marks in mid-air, leaving traces of their blades. In the white marks that followed, the blades slashed towards the kneeling Satoru Gojo in an instant. Satoru Gojo gathered the remaining Cursed Energy, and after a brief delay, a membrane of ghoul appeared on his body.

Boom!!

He's power sent Xuan flying one last time. Xuan planted his sword in the floor, forcefully stopping himself.

"Vomit!"

Amidst the shock of He, Xuan, who was already in dire straits, spat out a mouthful of deep purple blood. When he raised his face again, his two turbid golden eyes stood out starkly in Satoru Gojo's eyes.

In the information gathered by the Six Eyes, Xuan's figure also became illusory, like Cursed Spirit... no, different from Cursed Spirit.

But before Satoru Gojo could think, Gen began to wield a white blade, the blade spinning in mid-air like a top as he slashed at Satoru Gojo Satoru Gojo raised his hand, and two Sword of Extermination Satoru Gojo in his grasp.

Throat!!!!

With only their bodies strengthened by Cursed Energy, the two stood in the center of the battlefield, continuously wielding their longswords amidst the white light emanating from the Sword of Extermination, which emitted Reverse Cursed Technique.

No longer repairing his body, Gen used all his strength, and the two long swords in his hands forced the four-armed Satoru Gojo to the point that he didn't even have much of a chance to counterattack. But Satoru Gojo was no pushover after all, and in the back and forth, Satoru Gojo quickly found a weakness in Gen.

The Sword of Extermination pierced Xuan's heart in an instant. Xuan's body went limp, and a mouthful of deep purple blood sprayed onto Satoru Gojo's face once again. The extremely corrosive nature startled Satoru Gojo, who quickly activated his Limitless to splash the blood back onto Xuan's face.

At the same time, Satoru Gojo's two hands also grabbed Gen's two falling longswords, and then exerted force simultaneously, the Sword of Extermination and the Eight-Handled Sword were inserted into Gen's body in an X shape, one on the left and one on the right.

Sizzle.

Satoru Gojo pulled the longsword stuck in Gen's chest. At this moment, his Cursed Energy was almost exhausted, and the two Sword of Extermination disappeared. Gen, who had been severely injured one after another, knelt on the ground. A dark shadow supported his body, preventing him from falling completely.

"Haha... How ugly... He was determined to die, but when he was actually about to die, the will to live surged out of his body like a tsunami..."

Xuan pressed his arm to the ground, his golden eyes gradually turned into horizontal pupils, and the shadowy Cursed Energy he emitted was completely swallowed up. The Cursed Energy that had been completely exhausted was replenished in an instant, and Xuan himself raised his hand.

"No light at the bottom... cough cough!! No... no top of the sky... Ten Shadows... release..."

Before Satoru Gojo, Gen's body was constantly being eroded by a shadow called the Curse. The strict Curse he had always adhered to tore at his remaining flesh and blood, and at the moment Gen's body disintegrated, the flesh and blood were restored once again through the Cursed Energy.

Before the incantation was even finished, the shadow had already tightly bound it, and after a moment, the mysterious aura completely dissipated.

At this moment, Satoru Gojo had no idea that the battle was over—looking at the sphere surrounded by Cursed Energy, Satoru Gojo knew exactly what had happened to Gen.

"He's not dead yet..."

Sukuna's words conveyed a sense of having nothing to say, while Satoru Gojo chuckled.

"Isn't it pretty good? It's just Cursed Spirit, how could it be harder to fight than the real body?"

"It's hard to say."
