Satoru Gojo's expression finally cracked, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.
"Then why did you step forward?"
Jie Jian gave an awkward yet polite smile.
"I just wanted to come out and fight Sukuna, but I couldn't exactly stop you directly, so I just made up an excuse."
"..."
Satoru Gojo took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.
At this point, using his technique against Sukuna might injure Fushiguro. Perhaps someone else would be better suited.
After a moment of silence, Satoru Gojo looked at Jie Jian.
"Are you sure it'll be okay to leave Sukuna to you?"
Jie Jian's face lit up with delight. He hurriedly patted his chest.
"Put a hundred and twenty percent of your mind at ease. Sukuna's nothing. I've got him handled!"
Satoru Gojo suddenly noticed the "Hollow Wicker Basket" around Jie Jian and casually asked,
"You know Domain Expansion, right? Do you know how to avoid Sukuna's Open Domain?"
In Satoru Gojo's mind, Jie Jian should have known Domain Expansion. He had merely refrained from using it because he was wary of Sukuna's Open Domain.
However, Jie Jian's next words left him frozen on the spot.
Jie Jian scratched his head and gave an embarrassed smile.
"Well... heh heh, I actually can't use Domain Expansion with Vector Manipulation."
"I haven't had this technique long enough to build a suitable domain for it yet."
"What?!" Satoru Gojo stared at Jie Jian in shock. "You dare fight Sukuna without Domain Expansion?"
Satoru Gojo never heard Jie Jian's explanation, because Sukuna moved!
The moment he saw them standing before him and "discussing who would fight him," he became a knight of fury!
Who was he?
He was the King of Curses, Ryomen Sukuna!
And now, two mortals from an era without him
