Between Front and Back / Gap Between Light and Shadow
The two incantations resounded simultaneously within the barrier of the domain—as they assumed their activation stances, they both simultaneously sensed the changes in the other's incantational Cursed Energy, a convergence of positive energy and Cursed Energy.
Satoru Gojo laughed. This was the first time in his life as the Strongest that he had ever seen someone actually use the same technique as him—as for why he started by charging up Hollow Technique?
In that memory, the King of Curses named "Zenin Xuan" started with his Hollow Technique. Putting himself in Satoru Gojo's shoes, he certainly wouldn't dare to be arrogant.
"Hollow Technique"Hollow Technique
The purple and gray light instantly illuminated the space within their barrier, and intertwined Cursed Energy surged forth continuously.
""/"chaos"
Both of them pushed their abilities to the limit the moment they first clashed. The two Hollow Technique, each at 120% power, collided the instant they were released. The intertwined Cursed Energy exploded in an instant, and the hissing flames instantly engulfed their barrier. The originally solid barrier was shattered into countless fragments of Cursed Energy under the energy released by the two Hollow Technique attacks.
Sieve!
The moment the domain collapsed, Gen and Satoru Gojo acted simultaneously. Within the collapsed domain, the exploding energy instantly flattened most of the forest, and amidst the smoke and dust caused by the explosion, Gen appeared before Satoru Gojo with his fist clenched.
Originally, it should have been behind him, but Six Eyes ' observational ability made Gojo almost always face-to-face with Gen while moving.
but...
It's confirmed, mine is faster!
The moment the two closed in, Gen's hook punch struck Satoru Gojo's lower abdomen—while Gojo, using Gen's momentum, delivered a whip kick to Gen's chin. Gojo rolled backward on the ground, while Gen staggered back several steps.
"That Michizane powerful, Satoru Gojo."
Xuan spat out a mouthful of blood mixed with his teeth and grinned.
"The speed of the Reverse Cursed Technique isn't bad, Xuan."
Gojo tugged at his clothes, casually tossing aside his trench coat and strip-shaped eye mask, and stretched out his body again.
"You're in such a hurry to use Hollow Technique right from the start?"
"Oh? I'm learning from you, you know?"
This time it was Gojo's turn to be puzzled. In the memories he saw in the Prison Realm, Xuandu immediately activated his Hollow Technique. Therefore, his battle strategy was to use Hollow Technique to neutralize the opponent's Hollow Technique from the start, and then engage in domain battle.
"So it seems that I really was a complete villain in that other world."
Gen also stretched out his body in place, casually tossing his hand into the shadows. Using Cursed Tool when fighting someone with Gojo's combat power would only make him unable to keep up with the speed and put him at a disadvantage.
"I see, because the timelines are different, the fighting styles have changed too!"
Satoru Gojo stretched out his legs. After a brief exchange, both of them understood each other's weaknesses and strengths, and the battle ignited instantly, which was not something that could be easily extinguished.
"To be honest, I'm really curious. What would the timeline be like if I hadn't committed suicide but chose to live? Tell me about it before the second round begins?"
"Your strength is inferior to mine; are you trying to Burnout time for the Cursed Technique to break?"
"What are you talking about? Aren't you as fast as me too? And didn't you start the conversation first?"
Gen and Gojo were both doing warm-up exercises at almost the same time, and they started talking like old friends who hadn't seen each other for a long time.
"Well, from what you've said, you seem to treat Yuji and the others quite well, right? I really want to talk to Sukuna over there. So this is how Gen is on your side? It's quite different here. If you dare, come and see for yourself."
"Don't change the subject."
"Ah, sorry, sorry, but you weren't exactly a good person there... Nail Megumi Fushiguro to the wall and slowly let him feel death, crushing his Yuta Okkotsu from the feet up. However, since Sukuna is residing in Yuji's body, you didn't have a chance to do anything to Yuji."
"Uh... he really is a madman."
"Right, right! You know what? You're like a multi-stage boss, you get another life after you defeat one, but unfortunately, that perspective only shows three stages, and then it's over!"
"So, did you lose?"
"Who knows? I was still on the field during the third stage. All I can say is that something completely unexpected happened at the last moment."
"It's such a shame you didn't see it, isn't it?"
"Ah-yes, what a pity."
Gen sensed the return of the Cursed Technique, while Gojo was a little slower. Looking at Gen, who was taking steps to the left and right and waiting for him, Gojo nodded.
"Or rather... I actually feel that I--"
Gojo spread his arms, embracing the familiar Sky Manipulation. With the movement, the Cursed Technique Burnout was restored, and Satoru Gojo, smiling, opened his mouth towards Gen.
"We will win."
Boom!
As the words fell, the two, having regained their Cursed Technique, clashed instantly, their fists, saturated with blue Cursed Energy, striking each other mercilessly.
Wow, so fast?!
Gen initially thought he was faster than Satoru Gojo, but now it seems that's not the case.
So that's how it is, it's Cang.
But the next moment, Gen, who raised his arm to block Satoru Gojo's attack, understood Satoru Gojo's actions—as expected of Satoru Gojo who returned with his memories, it seems that he hasn't made any other progress by choosing to live.
Gen gripped his fists together like a hammer and slammed it towards Satoru Gojo's chest. As his fist, infused with Cursed Energy, drew Limitless closer to Satoru Gojo's body, Satoru Gojo simultaneously spun around and kicked Gen in the chest.
Click.
As he was kicked away, Xuan waved his hand to the right, and the Mahoraga Wheel appeared above his head, while Satoru Gojo smiled slightly.
"Ugh... these are really... troublesome Shikigami."
"You've already seen it, haven't you, Mahoraga?"
"Actually, I've always been curious. That Mahoraga that looks like a woman, is it part of Cursed Technique? But judging from the way it's called in that world, it seems to be something like a lover—or are you really, like Sukuna said, someone who toys with the hearts of Shikigami?"
What are you talking about?
Xuan's lips twitched.
"It doesn't seem so. What a pity. It's probably because you've gone mad that you call your Shikigami' darling'..."
"Hey! I'm suing you for defamation!!"
"We're not alone anymore, why worry about so much?!"
Both of them raised their hands at the same time, and the black shadow and the blue azure collided and were annihilated simultaneously. Xuan, on the other hand, stomped his feet on the ground and quickly approached Satoru Gojo.
Satoru Gojo didn't hesitate at all, throwing a punch at Gen with Cang's help, while Gen retaliated by throwing a punch back.
This time, fists actually collided—the collision of Cursed Energy produced a loud bang, and both of them were forced back, while Xuan's fist was twisted into a pretzel by Cang's gravity.
"Ouch, that's going to hurt so much!"
Xuan reached out and tore off the arm that had been twisted into a pretzel. As white smoke rose, the two hands came back together.
