Summon the Shikigami You Picked! As Kenjaku successfully expanded his domain, the entire hospital was instantly filled with an evil force.

A massive tree made of blood and spirits sprang up from the ground.

The tree was covered in individuals of all shapes and forms, their flesh and blood connected together as if recounting the countless sins the man before them had bred over a thousand years!

Like Sukuna's Malevolent Shrine, Kenjaku's domain was an open-type domain without boundaries.

Therefore, everyone present saw that tree of flesh and blood grow out of thin air.

"Fuck!" Jie Jian shouted at Kenjaku. "Not fair, not fair! We were fighting just fine, so why'd you open your domain?!"

Kenjaku looked at Jie Jian with interest.

"So you can't use Domain Expansion?"

"Can someone who can't even use a domain call himself a Special Grade Sorcerer?"

Jie Jian's expression changed.

He really couldn't use Domain Expansion!

And that wasn't even the worst part. Not only could Jie Jian not use Domain Expansion

He also couldn't use skills like Simple Domain, Falling Blossom Emotion, or Hollow Wicker Basket, which could negate an enemy technique's guaranteed-hit effect within a domain!

Fighting an enemy inside a domain put Jie Jian at a natural disadvantage.

Seeing this, he instantly activated the lightning cursed energy within his body, preparing to quickly leave the range of Kenjaku's Womb Profusion.

However, Kenjaku had already been watching Jie Jian's movements.

The instant he prepared to dash away, immense gravity pressed down on him.

Jie Jian's face twisted violently, and his body collapsed beyond his control, crushed savagely into the ground!

The sound of bones breaking came from within his body. Jie Jian could clearly feel his body suffering massive damage under the gravitational pressure.

Damn it! Next time, I've got to learn Hollow Wicker Basket from Little Deer.

Damn Kenjaku. Just wait until I learn it—then see if I don't beat the shit out of you!

A major reason Jie Jian hadn't wanted to kill Hajime Kashimo was that he wanted to learn Hollow Wicker Basket from him, a technique capable of countering domains.

Unfortunately, he'd punched Little Deer to death with a single instant punch. Fuck.

Now, he could only rely on the strength of his body and the healing of Reverse Cursed Technique to forcibly withstand Kenjaku's domain effect.

Of course, Jie Jian had other options.

Expanding a domain consumed a great deal of cursed energy. He could endure Kenjaku's gravitational pressure until Kenjaku could no longer sustain his domain, and he would still win.

But clearly, Jie Jian was having trouble holding out!

Kenjaku was a Special Grade Sorcerer, after all. He could keep his domain open for quite a while.

Even Yuki Tsukumo, also a Special Grade Sorcerer, couldn't hold out for long against Kenjaku's domain, let alone Jie Jian.

"Brother Jie!"

Yuji Itadori shouted anxiously and immediately tried to rush forward to help.

However, in the next moment, Kenjaku's domain activated again, and Yuji was slammed viciously onto the ground as well.

And Yuji wasn't the only one being crushed. Megumi Fushiguro and Panda were also subjected to the gravitational pressure of Kenjaku's domain, following Jie Jian's lead as they dropped to their knees.

Seeing everyone pinned to the ground, Uraume finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He flashed to Yuji's side and snatched up the finger containing Sukuna's power.

Kenjaku shook his head helplessly.

"Don't be so impatient. I could've gotten it for you later."

Uraume ignored Kenjaku. To him, nothing was more important than reclaiming Sukuna.

Seeing the finger stolen by Uraume, Megumi Fushiguro on the ground immediately fell into despair.

In an instant, enormous pressure enveloped him.

He couldn't imagine how much damage Sukuna's resurrection would cause to the entire Jujutsu Society, even the whole world, while Satoru Gojo was sealed away!

Endless pressure rose from the depths of his heart. Megumi could no longer bear it!

He was going to snap!

Fortunately, Kenjaku's gravity was mainly focused on Jie Jian, so the pressure Megumi endured wasn't particularly great.

In one burst of effort, he gathered all the cursed energy in his body and fiercely raised one arm.

The next moment, Megumi clenched his hand into a fist and held it above and below himself.

"Sorry, everyone! Furube Yurayura!"

As the chant was completed, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly fell silent.

Kenjaku was the first to realize something was wrong. He abruptly turned to look at Megumi.

"What did you do?!"

Gravity slammed Megumi back onto the ground once more.

But it was already too late!

Something huge was coming!

Several frog-like statues grew around them, followed by a humanoid creature tightly wrapped in white bandages appearing in the center.

The next moment, the bandages tore apart, revealing a creature with no eyes, four small wings on its face, and a golden dharma wheel above its head.

"M-Mahoraga!"

Kenjaku looked at Mahoraga with a grave expression.

As an old monster who had lived for a thousand years, he naturally recognized the ultimate secret of the Zenin Family's Ten Shadows Technique: Eight-Handled Sword Divergent Sila Divine General Mahoraga.

Not long ago, during the Shibuya Incident, Megumi Fushiguro had summoned Mahoraga once before.

But Mahoraga had been killed by Sukuna back then. There was no Sukuna here now!

Without the slightest hesitation, Kenjaku unleashed maximum-output gravity directly above Mahoraga.

Mahoraga was pressed to the ground by the gravity, but the dharma wheel above his head began spinning rapidly the next instant!

He was adapting to the gravity of Kenjaku's Womb Profusion!

In only an instant, Mahoraga's body seemed to have begun adapting.

His body slowly began to rise, the gravity's effect on him dropping without limit.

Kenjaku had no time to watch further and immediately shouted at Uraume.

"Retreat!"

A fish-like cursed spirit appeared directly beside Kenjaku. Uraume and he quickly leaped onto it, swimming straight toward the sky.

As Kenjaku took off, Mahoraga's figure had already appeared by his feet.

The Sword of Exorcism smashed viciously into the spot where Kenjaku had been.

Unfortunately, Mahoraga had not fully adapted to Kenjaku's gravity yet, so he couldn't hit Kenjaku, who was already in the air.

As Kenjaku fled far away, the effect of Womb Profusion vanished from the scene, and Jie Jian's group finally escaped the crushing gravity.

However, although Kenjaku was gone, there was still a severe problem waiting for them to handle.

Mahoraga was still there!

The ritual Megumi Fushiguro used to summon Mahoraga was a special Exorcism Ritual.

Because Mahoraga of the Ten Shadows Technique had never been exorcised by anyone.

So the Zenin Family developed a special ritual.

As long as Mahoraga was forcibly summoned in an extreme situation, Mahoraga would kill every participant in the ritual.

Using this method, the wielder of the Ten Shadows Technique could perish together with an enemy they could not defeat. That was also why Megumi had said "sorry" before using it.

Because he had dragged everyone at the scene into this ritual as well.

But the problem now was that Kenjaku had cowardly run away. Before Mahoraga adapted to his gravity, he and Uraume had escaped, temporarily leaving Mahoraga's attack range.

Meanwhile, Yuji, Panda, and Jie Jian became Mahoraga's primary targets!

In other words, it was now Jie Jian's turn to fight Mahoraga.

Freed from Kenjaku's continued gravitational crushing, Jie Jian finally used Reverse Cursed Technique to repair his body.

He slowly climbed up from the ground, looked at Mahoraga before him, and finally lost it.

"I'm Chovy! What the hell are you all doing?! Mom—oh, fuck, I—"

"What are you doing?! If you're summoning a shikigami, summon one you picked properly!"
