People Ultimately Have to Go to Heaven!

Uraume did not answer Fushiguro. Instead, his gaze fell on Megumi Fushiguro among the three.

He had come to Tokyo No. 1 Colony to find a suitable vessel for Sukuna.

It was just that such a vessel was not nearly as easy to find as he had imagined!

It was no easy matter for a cursed-object-transmuted sorcerer to reincarnate through incarnation.

Cursed objects were not batteries that could be used just by plugging them in. Compatibility had to be considered!

Originally, Sukuna's fingers, belonging to the King of Curses, could not simply be fed to ordinary people. If forcibly swallowed, Sukuna would still be unable to reincarnate, while the person would instead turn into a monster.

But things were slightly different now. Since Sukuna wanted to change hosts, this finger containing Sukuna's soul and power no longer possessed the properties of a Special-Grade Cursed Object. Ordinary people could consume it.

However, there was also a drawback: this finger no longer possessed the indestructible nature of the previous fingers.

Uraume had to quickly find a suitable target and place the finger inside them.

But Uraume now faced a serious problem.

The stronger a sorcerer was, the stronger their soul would be!

If a cursed-object-transmuted sorcerer tried to reincarnate in such a person's body, they first had to overcome that person's soul.

Once your soul was weaker than theirs, the reincarnation would likely fail.

That was also why Kenjaku had chosen ordinary people as vessels for the ancient sorcerers revived in the Culling Game.

If he had chosen sorcerers, reincarnation could very easily fail.

At the same time, even if it succeeded, if the sorcerer refused to die, their soul would constantly interfere within the body, suppressing the reincarnated sorcerer's strength.

Something similar had happened when Sukuna took over Fushiguro's body in the story.

Fushiguro's soul had constantly interfered with Sukuna from within, preventing him from fully unleashing his power.

The only way to avoid such a situation was to find a sorcerer who was depressed and already wanted to die.

Such sorcerers had no will to resist and very little desire to live. Even if their bodies were taken over, they would not fight back.

But there were far too few sorcerers like that!

Uraume had nearly circled all of Tokyo No. 1 Colony and still had not found one.

After all, what sorcerer would actively want to die?

Uraume looked Fushiguro up and down.

He truly could not understand why Sukuna had chosen Megumi Fushiguro as his new vessel.

Megumi Fushiguro did not look like someone who had lost the will to live. Was Sukuna not afraid that Fushiguro's soul would cause trouble inside the body?

Just as Uraume observed Fushiguro, a figure stepped in front of him.

Hana Kurusu glared angrily at Uraume.

Although Uraume's psychological gender was male, the body he had reincarnated in was female.

So when Hana Kurusu saw a girl in monk's robes suddenly emerge from a corner and stare at Fushiguro, she immediately became frantic!

Was that polite? Staring at someone the moment you showed up!

"Kurusu, what are you doing?"

Fushiguro looked at Hana Kurusu standing in front of him with confusion.

Hana Kurusu let out an "Ah!" and hurriedly spoke.

"Um, well... that woman doesn't look like a good person. Let me protect you."

"...Thanks." Fushiguro took a long moment before forcing out the words. "But you don't need to protect me. I can protect myself."

The word "woman" darkened Uraume's expression.

Though he did not care about his gender, this body still made him somewhat uncomfortable.

It could not be helped. Kenjaku had been too stifling and had insisted on choosing a female body for him.

Uraume examined Hana Kurusu.

When he saw the halo above her head and the little wings on her back, Uraume nodded in realization.

"So it's you, Angel!"

Angel was also a sorcerer from Sukuna's era. As Sukuna's personal attendant, Uraume naturally knew Angel.

At that moment, Angel's mouth grew out of Hana Kurusu's face.

She looked at Uraume.

"Do you have the finger containing Sukuna?"

"Why are you asking?" Uraume looked at Angel coldly.

"To purify him, of course. Sukuna should not continue existing in this world!"

Uraume's face darkened as he roared.

"Arrogant!"

A mere loser defeated by Sukuna a thousand years ago dared to say such things!

Uraume no longer held back. He raised a hand and blew toward Angel.

"Ice Formation: Frost Calm!"

A violent wave of cold surged toward Yuji Itadori and the other two. The battle was about to erupt.

Fushiguro formed his hands into the shape of a puppy and summoned his Divine Dog: Totality.

Yuji Itadori also charged in from the side, looking for a chance to close in and attack.

Angel took flight directly from where she stood, preparing to ascend into the sky and unleash her technique, Jacob's Ladder!

Uraume paid little attention to the attacks of the first two, but he did not dare be careless in the slightest against Angel's Jacob's Ladder.

Jacob's Ladder was a derivative ability of Angel's innate technique.

When activated, a dazzling pillar of light descended from the sky, heavily injuring any target struck by it.

Optimized the reading experience for VIP members. Tap the center of the screen to bring up the menu, where you can conveniently access "Settings," "Previous Page," "Next Page," and "Back to Top."

Not only that, the pillar of light had additional effectiveness against curses.

As someone reincarnated through incarnation, he also possessed the constitution of a curse, so the ladder's attack would deal extra damage to him.

And most importantly, the finger containing Sukuna's power was still in his robe!

If Jacob's Ladder struck him, the finger in Uraume's possession would likely be purified directly!

Then Sukuna would truly be dead!

Uraume's Frost Calm directly knocked back Fushiguro's Divine Dog: Totality and raised an icy barricade before him.

Yuji seized the opportunity to circle around the ice wall. With a shout, he threw a punch.

Uraume snorted coldly. As his body drifted backward, he waved both hands repeatedly.

"Ice Formation: Ice Spear!"

Several sharp icicles formed in the air and shot toward Yuji with piercing whistles.

Yuji twisted aside to evade, but there were too many icicles. One of them pierced his shoulder.

He gritted his teeth and continued charging forward despite the pain.

"Divine Dog: Totality!"

Fushiguro's voice came from the side as the black-and-white Divine Dog pounced on Uraume.

Uraume's eyes sharpened, and he slapped one hand against the ground.

"Ice Formation: Ice Wall!"

A thick wall of ice rose from the ground, blocking the Divine Dog's path.

The shikigami slammed into the ice wall. Spiderweb-like cracks instantly spread across its surface, but it did not shatter immediately.

"Now!"

Yuji seized the opening while Uraume was casting his technique, circled to her side, and brought down a fist filled with cursed energy.

Yuji's punch directly triggered a Black Flash!

The attack, like black lightning, smashed into Uraume's arm.

Faced with the explosive boost of Black Flash, Uraume was sent flying.

"It worked!"

Not only that, a pillar of light suddenly descended at the spot where Uraume would land.

The light was pure and blinding, as though it could cleanse every impurity in the world.

Angel's voice came from high above.

"Do you believe in God?"

"I greatly admire the first person who believed in God. They might have been considered insane."

"Sukuna, once I find you, I will definitely purify you."

"People ultimately have to go to heaven. Let me say it one last time: the ladder is about to descend!"

"O light, light that purifies all things, please destroy sin, mistakes, and sorrow, and guide that person!"

"Having said that, Jacob's Ladder!"

A massive pillar of light fell from the sky, blasting straight toward Uraume.

Uraume's pupils contracted. Ignoring the injuries inflicted by Black Flash, she immediately rolled aside to evade.

However, the pillar's range was too great. Even though she retreated quickly enough, the light still swept across the left half of her body.

The instant the pillar touched her, Uraume felt her body burning.

"So this is Jacob's Ladder. It really is formidable!"

Uraume gritted his teeth, reached into his robe and grasped something, then immediately fled backward.

He knew that he was definitely no match for Yuji and the other two with his own strength alone.

Seeing this, Yuji's alarm bells rang.

"What is she doing?!"

Fushiguro also sensed that something was wrong and immediately ordered the Divine Dog to follow.

Uraume leaped back and forth between buildings before rushing into a room beside the street.

Inside the room, an ordinary player left behind in the Culling Game was hiding.

Seeing Uraume suddenly burst in, the young man shouted in panic.

"Who are you? What are you doing?!"

"You'll do."

Uraume dragged his injured body toward the man and grabbed his mouth.

The next moment, Uraume directly stuffed the finger containing Sukuna's soul and power into the man's mouth.

"Stop her!!!"

Yuji and Fushiguro tried to stop Uraume, but they were too late.

The man's throat wriggled.

The next second, black markings spread across the man's face, and a terrifying pressure arose from his body.

"Ha... hahaha..."

A wild laugh escaped from the man's throat.

"I have... reincarnated after all. Hahahaha!"

Yuji and Fushiguro immediately stopped in their tracks.

A trace of despair flashed through both their eyes.

Ryomen Sukuna, the King of Curses, had reincarnated once again!
