Despair?

The moment they saw the blue light emanating from Xuan's eyes, Sukuna and Satoru Gojo immediately understood the purpose of the magic ring on Xuan's head.

The black orb of light that was Copy by Zi was only a secondary threat in the eyes of the two. With the help of the Six Eyes, Satoru Gojo and Sukuna had also seen through the mystery before them— the Copy Cursed Technique and the things that were Copy after adaptation were all inferior.

Unlike the Mahoraga's Wheel, which adapts to the opponent itself.

"Dragon Scales, Recoil, Paired Shooting Stars."

The crimson blade instantly severed the condensed energy.

Xuan, however, tore off his two arms from his lower abdomen with little interest.

"Haha... Six Eyes might be a good option to keep."

As the white smoke of the Reverse Cursed Technique rose, Gen also unleashed a powerful punch imbued with the Domain Amplification, striking Satoru Gojo as he spoke.

In an instant, Satoru Gojo raised both right hands. With a muffled boom, Satoru Gojo felt as if his arms had broken. Naturally, he couldn't just take this heavy punch so easily. He had already formed a hand seal with one hand and pointed the other at Gen's body.

"Hah!"

With the help of Sukuna's two mouths, the incantation was completed before it was cast. Crimson energy burst forth onto Xuan's body, and a powerful repulsive force struck and erupted at Xuan's chest—but it did not send Xuan flying as usual.

With a single punch, Xuan sent Satoru Gojo flying. The moment Satoru Gojo was hit, he activated his Cursed Energy. Unlike Xuan, who had just used his Domain Amplification his attack, Xuan was now unable to break through his Limitless!

Boom!!!

The moment the heavy punch landed, Satoru Gojo felt the space around him darken in an instant. Of course, he immediately realized that he had been punched into the ground.

Before Satoru Gojo could fly out of the cave, Gen was already covered in flickering shadow Cursed Energy. After taking a deep breath, he exhaled violently at the ground beneath him.

Satoru Gojo only saw a flash of light at Gen's location before a tsunami-like beam of light struck the spot where Satoru Gojo was, and an impenetrable net of fire swept across the entire land in an instant.

The ground was sheared away by an entire layer over a span of ten seconds—though Satoru Gojo was not directly defeated as a result.

The pillar of light carried the power of Blood Manipulation and Mythical Beast Amber, and even mixed with the power of Limitless Cursed Technique. All three were Copy through shadows, Limitless Power also carried the ability to break through the Inviolability.

Even though the Maximum Technique Blue Sky blocked a massive amount of light pillars, Satoru Gojo was not completely unharmed.

With most of his Cursed Energy depleted once again, Sukuna began to miss the Gen of his own world—but Satoru Gojo had no Gen to miss. The beam of light had broken through three layers of Limitless in an instant—it was an ultra-high-density continuous shot under "focused" conditions—and the houses where they were located had been completely leveled, and even the ground had been sheared down by two meters.

Satoru Gojo now only felt pure frustration—unlike Gen just now, who was giving his all without any restraint while at full strength.

Moreover, Xuan is now Special Grade Vengeful Cursed Spirit, and even using the Maximum Technique: Hollow Purple, there is absolutely no way to kill it directly.

The best way... the best way...

"Think of something quickly! Sukuna!!"

"Don't rush, I'm thinking about it!"

As he roared, Xuan stopped. He reached out, pulled out the Sword of Extermination from his body, and swung it at Satoru Gojo. Satoru Gojo naturally wouldn't let this opportunity pass—he used Ao to disarm himself while simultaneously grabbing the Sword of Extermination in his hand.

Under the watchful Six Eyes, Satoru Gojo confirmed that the Sword of Extermination had no soul connection—it seemed that the incantation Gen recited before his death had taken effect.

The moment he caught the Sword of Extermination, Gen appeared in front of Satoru Gojo. Even though Satoru Gojo reacted immediately, the blade still severed his arm instantly, like a hot knife slicing through butter.

Before he could react, Satoru Gojo immediately aimed his Sword of Extermination at Gen's heart and pierced through it.

As the blade pierced through his chest, Satoru Gojo immediately gripped the hilt. In an instant, crimson energy exploded like a bomb, causing the reversed energy wrapped around the blade to implode within Gen's body.

As Gen staggered, Satoru Gojo immediately grabbed him by the waist with both of his hands.

"Dragon Scales, Recoil, Paired Shooting Stars."

After the incantation was finished, a continuously spreading Cursed Energy began to appear on Gen's waist and abdomen. As blood and flesh flew everywhere, Satoru Gojo saw Gen's eyes once again.

call out.

Gray energy poured into Satoru Gojo's head in an instant—as he felt weightlessness and a sticky sensation, he immediately realized what kind of attack he had been hit by—but the greatly enhanced computing power brought by Satoru Gojo two souls and four six- Satoru Gojo Six Eyes allowed him to accurately grab Gen's head with both hands even within the Chaos effect.

"Untie!!!"

A blade enveloped in deep purple energy instantly appeared on Xuan's body, and the ever-spreading wounds indicated that Xuan's body was no longer as powerful as it once was, a fact that evoked despair.

The slashes intertwined, turning the last trace of Xuan's flesh and blood into dust—but Satoru Gojo dared not relax at all.

Throat!!!

Almost at the same moment the slash shredded Gen's body into complete dust, Gen reappeared in this world. The blades in the hands of Eight-Handled Sword and Satoru Gojo trembled, and Satoru Gojo gritted his teeth at that moment.

"Hey! Limitless lives are a cheat code!"

"Yes, I just pressed F1."

Clang!

The sound of blades clashing didn't last long. Satoru Gojo's swordsmanship was naturally inferior to Xuan's at this moment. After a few simple exchanges, even with the support of Kaku and Cang, Satoru Gojo easily sent his sword flying.

As he brought the car to a stop, Satoru Gojo also urged Sukuna in his mind—at this moment, after briefly observing the situation, Sukuna still couldn't figure out how to get rid of the Special Grade Vengeful Cursed Spirit in front of him.

Holding the Sword of Extermination, Satoru Gojo watched as Gen, who had clearly gained the upper hand, stood motionless in place. In the ensuing exchange, Satoru Gojo realized that the essence of the Cursed Spirit Gen was still Gen—the one who would interrupt him with lightning speed and immediately follow up with an attack the moment he moved.

but...

At this moment, Satoru Gojo was slightly anxious—their battle had destroyed two districts of Tokyo, and as the number of crows circling in the sky increased, Satoru Gojo once again felt that desperate pressure.

"I might have a way."

Just when Satoru Gojo Satoru Gojo Sukuna were at their wits' end, a female voice came from within Sukuna mental image space.

"... I have a way to kill Xuan."

The two simultaneously realized a fact that was hard for them to accept: the owner of the suddenly appearing voice was—

The mysterious Mahoraga.
