The next moment.
The wall shattered with a crash, Megumi Fushiguro, along with the rubble, fell onto the rooftop below. After tumbling several times, he was bleeding profusely from a head wound.
He struggled to get up from the ground, but his dizzy brain and trembling body prevented him from completing this seemingly simple action.
At this moment, he could only watch as the curse hurtled towards him, "Damn it... I can't move..."
Just moments before the curse was about to strike.
Yuji Itadori leaped forward and delivered an elbow strike to the cursed head, then immediately dodged to the side, trying to draw its attention and distract it.
And the curse did indeed turn around and begin attacking Itadori.
But this made the injured Megumi Fushiguro grit her teeth and scold, "Itadori, you should have taken them and run away! Curses can only be dispelled with curses, you can't defeat them!"
"But aren't you in danger too?! If I leave, I'll never have a clear conscience!"
While dodging, Itadori didn't forget to answer.
But this gave the curse an opportunity, and it punched him, sending him flying into the air, along with Sukuna's Fingers.
Immediately following was a huge hand that grasped it in its palm, while Itadori caught Sukuna's Fingers with its mouth.
Seeing this, the cursed man did not hesitate to put the Itadori and its fingers into his mouth.
Itadori had no choice but to step on the teeth with his legs to hold himself up and avoid being eaten, while Megumi Fushiguro's cries in his ears.
"Are you an idiot? Throw your finger at me now, or you'll be eaten!"
These words also served as a wake-up Itadori.
If these so-called Cursed Spirit can gain immense power by eating fingers, then why can't I eat them myself?
Thinking of this, he immediately opened his mouth and swallowed the Sukuna's Finger that he was biting.
Upon seeing Megumi Fushiguro's expression froze instantly!
Sukuna's Fingers are highly poisonous; eating them will certainly kill you...
Unless...
At that moment, Yuji Itadori was captured.
Suddenly, his aura changed, and the hands that were grabbing him shattered completely. He stepped on the cursed man's head and jumped to the ground behind him.
Faced with the ever-present curse.
With just a raised hand and a swift wave, the curse was utterly torn apart by blood and flesh.
On the other hand, Yuji Itadori's body was now covered in a distinctive black pattern, and a pair of smaller eyes opened again beneath his previously visible eyes!
The person looked incredibly eerie!
"Hahahaha... It's definitely more exciting to feel the moonlight firsthand! But the flesh of Cursed Spirit is so boring! Human children, women..."
Let me go on a killing spree! It's just too wonderful...
After a passionate speech.
They just stood there, frozen in place, completely motionless.
Fushiguro Megumi Fushiguro, who had thought everything was over, was momentarily at a loss. "What happened? What on earth happened to him...?"
In places where it cannot be seen.
Yuji Itadori's spiritual world, or what might be called his Innate Domain.
This is where the sky meets the sea.
Yuji Itadori stood there, gazing up at everything around him, and couldn't help but exclaim, "What... what a beautiful place... Where is this? Wasn't I just..."
As he was speaking, he suddenly noticed another version of himself beside him.
"Huh? There's another me here?"
But upon closer inspection, something different was discovered: this guy had unique jet-black tattoos on his body, and he also had four eyes!
Who are you?
Itadori wanted to ask another question.
But what awaited him was Sukuna's slash; an invisible strike came swiftly, aiming to split Itadori's head in two.
Only.
Just as the strike was about to hit, a cloud of black mist completely annihilated it.
For the first time, Sukuna showed a cautious expression, scanning this special place and quickly analyzing it in his mind.
Judging from the reaction, it wasn't that kid who did it...
But this should be inside that brat's body. Could it be Innate Domain? Also, I can't sense any Cursed Energy in that black mist, and it easily blocked my dispelling...
Even Sukuna had never encountered such a situation before!
But it was precisely during this rapid analysis of the situation that...
A beautiful figure appeared silently not far in front of the two.
Chapter 108 Defeat him, and I'll acknowledge you!
The newcomer was none other than Asuramaru. Half of his face was obscured by his long hair, but his crimson eyes seemed to see right through the two people in front of him.
Sukuna's expression changed slightly; at such close range, it hadn't even noticed the other party.
Compared to the cautious Sukuna.
Itadori didn't sense any danger at all. Instead, he looked at Asuramaru in front of him and couldn't help but ask.
"Did you bring me here? Who are you, and where is this place...?"
But instead of getting answers, these questions were met with a curt rebuke from Asuramaru: "You ask too many questions."
Then he turned his head and glanced at Sukuna again.
Only then did he slowly begin to speak.
"This is your spiritual world, also known as your Innate Domain, and I am your Cursed Technique."
Itadori didn't understand anything at this point.
However, Sukuna discerned several key points, especially when this incredibly mysterious fellow claimed to be the little devil's Cursed Technique.
Its first reaction was disbelief.
After all, there has never been a similar case in the Jujutsu Society!
That's pure fantasy!
But it didn't refute this; instead, it stood there silently.
Asuramaru glanced at it out of the corner of her eye, but didn't pay much attention to it. Instead, she introduced herself.
"My name is Asuramaru..."
The words had barely left his mouth.
Sukuna, who had been silent all along, could no longer remain calm. It recalled a legend that had been passed down since ancient times.
That is a sharp blade that is inhabited by Deity. Gaining its approval will make one the strongest in history and grant them power that surpasses all others!
At first, it thought it was just a legend, or some kind of Cursed Tool, which it had searched for before but never found anything...
I never expected it to be Cursed Technique!
Even Itadori knew some of the related legends and couldn't help but scratch his head, asking, "This name sounds familiar, is it from some legendary Deity?"
Recalling the identity the system had given me this time.
Asuramaru calmly nodded slightly, tacitly acknowledging this identity.
This overjoyed Itadori, who quickly pressed for more information, "Is he really Deity? Does that mean I can use all sorts of cool abilities like anime protagonists and Fushiguro?"
Sukuna was also curious about what kind of Cursed Technique the legendary Asuramaru was.
Faced with this question, Asuramaru put on a helpless and unhappy expression, and looked at the two of them with annoyance.
"Unfortunately, neither of you has gained my approval, so naturally you cannot use my power."
The words had barely left his mouth.
Sukuna Itadori forward cautiously before Itachi and asked, "How can I gain your approval?"
It heard what was just said.
Since neither of you has been approved, that means it also has a chance to obtain Asuramaru!
Itadori also looked extremely interested, eagerly awaiting a reply.
Facing their gazes, Asuramaru replied calmly, "Unfortunately, I didn't sense any strong desire in either of you that could move me."
Desire?
Joy, anger, sorrow, happiness, or even hatred and greed...? Is it the literal meaning?
Sukuna pondered the meaning behind those words.
Itadori then directly asked, "Besides desire, is there any other way to gain your approval?"
Upon hearing this...
Asuramaru's lips curled up slightly, revealing a rather intriguing expression.
"You're quite interesting. I'll give you a chance then. If you can defeat my first sword master, I'll acknowledge you, how about that?"
Upon hearing this answer, Sukuna immediately perked up. Not only could he personally experience the power of Asuramaru, but he could also try to subdue it!
As for Itadori beside him, he didn't think so much, and just thought to himself, "To gain your approval, your first sword master must have been very powerful, right?"
"That's natural."
Asuramaru also replied with extreme arrogance.
Immediately, a huge sword suddenly appeared behind them, and a figure slowly emerged from it.
The figure was dressed in a well-fitting, fiery red samurai outfit, with two sharp blades hanging at his waist.
Asuramaru then spoke up appropriately to introduce the topic.
"Kamado Tanjiro, my first swordsman. Whoever can defeat him will gain my approval!"
Is this an alternative form of Subjugation Ritual?
Sukuna looked at the suddenly appearing Kamado Tanjiro. Even though she didn't sense any Cursed Energy from him, it was so natural and effortless.
The overwhelming pressure, as if one were standing atop the world, was truly astonishing.
Just as Sukuna was excitedly preparing to step forward...
Itadori walked over first and asked with concern, "If I lose, I won't die, will I?"
"No."
Asuramaru's answer was only three simple words.
With no worries left, Itadori clenched his fists and strode forward. "Then I'll give it a try."
He faced Tanjiro head-on and delivered a powerful punch.
Tanjiro didn't even have time to draw his sword before the fight ended in an instant.
Tanjiro's right fist hovered at the tip of Yuji Itadori's nose; if it moved forward just a little more, it could smash his head to pieces!
It was over before he even saw the Itadori being thrown, but he wasn't discouraged and instead smiled and said...
"Wow, that's really strong. I can't beat them."
He then stepped aside and began to curiously examine Asuramaru, the legendary Deity.
Sukuna frowned slightly upon seeing this.
The speed was terrifying; even I only saw a blur...
Even so, it still stepped forward, its face radiating absolute self-confidence!
"The legendary Asuramaru? Your first swordsman, let me see it for myself, and perhaps even just taste it first!"
