Super Special Grade Vengeful Cursed Spirit
"Mahoraga."
In the space formed by shadows, aside from her battle with the "Mahito," Mahoraga once again entered Xuan's Innate Domain. This time, looking straight at the seawater composed of shadows around her, her "eyes" involuntarily gazed into the distance.
"Little Mo?"
"Ah... sir."
Mahoraga looked around but didn't see the person he was supposed to see, while Xuan's voice clearly reached Mahoraga's ears.
"Looks like my story ends here. I have to go now."
"... Was it because I was too weak that you were defeated?"
"Haha! Don't think like that. I think... if it weren't for you guys, I might not be that strong."
"..."
Click.
After the golden Dharma Wheel above his head spun once, Mahoraga suppressed the sensation of liquid falling from the feathers.
"I've already released Ten Shadows... Hmm, there might be a slight delay, but remember to take good care of Rabbit Escape."
"... My lord, please allow me to accompany you."
"Little Mo."
"I am your Shikigami alone. If even you die, how can I possibly survive?!"
"... Ha, no."
Looking at the puzzled Mahoraga, Xuan's voice carried a hint of relief.
"What does it mean to 'linger on the brink of death'? If living a normal life like you is considered 'lingering on the brink of death,' then what am I?"
"I'll find a better way! So!"
Mahoraga stomped her feet on the floor, watching the surrounding environment gradually fade to white. Unable to find Xuan's figure, she fell into anxiety and panic.
Meanwhile, with Gen's corpse showing no reaction, Satoru Gojo and Sukuna were seizing every opportunity to return their Cursed Energy to their bodies.
"Can you sense it, Sukuna?"
"Ha?"
Satoru Gojo's four Six Eyes were fixed on the "gen" in front of him. Under the entanglement of the black shadow, Satoru Gojo and Sukuna's crisis alarms sounded at the same time - the moment Sukuna finished speaking, four arms were raised at the same time.
Boom!
The surrounding air scraped against Satoru Gojo's body like sharp blades. In the instant he came to his senses, the scene around Satoru Gojo was no longer the battlefield of Shinjuku.
Field?
Could Cursed Spirit born from the shadows belong to such a realm?
No, there's no fluctuation of Cursed Energy; it's not a domain.
Satoru Gojo's brain was working at high speed, his four Six Eyes constantly assessing the surrounding situation. As the white smoke from the Reverse Cursed Technique slowly rose, Satoru Gojo realized that his four hands had been blown into a bloody mist by the kick just now.
Sizzle sizzle--
The surrounding buildings were blown away, and Satoru Gojo's four eyes surveyed his surroundings before he realized where he had arrived.
What do you mean by kicking me all the way from Tokyo Shinjuku to Hiroshima?!
despair.
"... How boring."
Xuan, with two longswords still strapped to his body in an X-shape, landed on the ground— the Sword of Extermination that could annihilate all Cursed Spirit had failed to perform their intended function. Was the energy released by the Reverse Cursed Technique useless against Xuan before him?
It's obvious that it's useless.
"Let me cheer up a bit, shall I?"
Gen's golden horizontal pupils were fixed on Satoru Gojo's body, but his expression did not change. In the shared senses of Satoru Gojo and Sukuna, Gen at this moment was probably the only thing that was the same about him as Gen just now.
The moment Xuan uttered those words, Satoru Gojo's vision suddenly went black.
"Satoru Gojo."
At this crucial moment, Satoru Gojo was pulled into the interior of the Innate Domain by Sukuna. Satoru Gojo was about to question Sukuna, but he shut his mouth at Sukuna's wave.
"I will try my best to maintain your total Cursed Energy, but I don't know how long I can sustain it."
"... Do you have a solution?"
"I will set many Binding Vow, with the aim of killing this guy."
"... ha?"
Satoru Gojo turned his head, not quite understanding what Sukuna was saying.
"In that case, if we win, you'll have a very hard time beating me, won't you?"
"Ha ha!"
Sukuna laughed twice upon hearing Satoru Gojo's words before speaking again.
"If we can't even survive, what's the point of talking about a final battle? Besides..."
Sukuna looked outside, standing still, waiting for Gen to react first with Satoru Gojo's body.
"You're definitely much stronger than me, Satoru Gojo."
Sukuna stepped forward and slapped Satoru Gojo on the shoulder.
Go, go prove yourself.
With this palm strike, Satoru Gojo and Sukuna's Cursed Energy simultaneously returned to their peak—this was Sukuna's price for sacrificing half of his future Cursed Energy recovery speed, thereby restoring the Binding Vow on all his Cursed Energy.
At the moment the Cursed Energy was restored, Gen and Satoru Gojo's bodies also began to move.
Before throwing a punch, Sukuna's voice came from his abdomen and the mouth on his side.
"Nine Ropes, Polarized Light, Crow and Shomyo, Between Front and Back."
Azure Cursed Energy and crimson energy converged in Satoru Gojo's powerful punch, and at the moment of impact, the Hollow Technique was simultaneously unleashed along with Satoru Gojo's fist.
Boom!
The surrounding environment changed almost instantly—Xuan's kick sent him flying off the island in a flash, tearing a long trail in the sea—and Zi also burst forth in an instant.
The purple energy evaporated a large area of seawater almost instantly, and Satoru Gojo used the Azure to stabilize himself—he immediately realized that Gen had completely unleashed his power, and with such a speed, all he could do was use the Azure to fix his position.
By using Limitless convergence to anchor one's position in this space, one can withstand a kick like the one just delivered.
Under the burst of purple energy, Satoru Gojo's Six Eyes instantly locked onto Gen, who had broken free from So's control. Gen was becoming increasingly unlike a human. As Cursed Womb, he still retained a complete consciousness. Under the Curse of many, Gen was no longer an ordinary Cursed Spirit, but a Rika Orimoto.
Because Curse spirits—born from curses—cannot be exorcised, are unaffected by Reverse Cursed Technique, and cannot die—and moreover...
Xuan's soul, along with its immense Cursed Energy, was also sealed within the body of the Cursed Spirit.
However, there is a possibility that Rika Orimoto's Curse can be broken... Rika Orimoto also ascended to heaven and became a Buddha under the blessing of Yuta Okkotsu.
Damn it! Where am I supposed to find those dead people to break the curse?!
Pong!!
The air exploded several times at extreme speed. Satoru Gojo, fully focused, immediately used his Azure and Crimson to violently shift his body away. Gen, however, did not stop. His fist, covered in black shadows and fur, landed on the sea surface. In an instant, the seawater exploded into a semicircle with a radius of 100 meters. The seawater inside was vaporized and evaporated in an instant. Under that smoke, Gen's eyes were dozens of times brighter than before.
Buzz!!!
"Cursed Technique Reversal, Light!"
The moment Satoru Gojo uncontrollably stared into Gen's eyes, Sukuna immediately realized the problem. Without hesitation, Sukuna used the Cursed Technique Reversal he had copied from Kenjaku Gen on Satoru Gojo. Satoru Gojo, attracted by the goat's pupils, only realized he had just been "controlled" under the influence of the light.
"Ha! Not bad at all!"
Xuan grabbed the Eight-Handled Sword stuck in his left shoulder, pulled it out sharply, twirled it, and then pointed it at Gojo Satoru Gojo in front of him.
"Let's do it again?"
