Yuki Tsukumo's Terror!

Yuki Tsukumo's Terror! Peaceful days would not last forever.

Because accidents could arrive in the blink of an eye.

On this day, after successive rounds of investigation,

the Jujutsu Higher-Ups finally found Ronawa's whereabouts.

At the same time, through continued analysis and research, the Jujutsu Higher-Ups had uncovered a few possible clues regarding Ronawa's true identity.

Thus, the Jujutsu Higher-Ups decided to make a move against Ronawa.

To ensure nothing went wrong and leave Ronawa no opportunity,

they had even summoned Yuki Tsukumo, one of Japan's four Special Grade Sorcerers.

Sending a Special Grade Sorcerer after Ronawa was certainly giving her plenty of respect.

Before long, Yuki Tsukumo arrived at the forbidden grounds of Jujutsu High, where Lord Tengen resided.

There, Yuki Tsukumo met the Jujutsu Higher-Ups, represented by the Gojo Family.

"Whoa, that's a whole lot of old men."

"Looks like you called me here because you have some troublesome job for me."

"Tell me the details first. Then I'll decide whether I'm taking it."

Yuki Tsukumo was the classic blonde bombshell. She had a hot body, and her temper was just as fiery.

She was exceptionally rebellious.

If they wanted her to work, it depended on whether she felt like it.

If she did not want to, she would not care even if the order came from the Jujutsu Higher-Ups.

After all, she was a Special Grade Sorcerer. She had plenty of privileges.

The Jujutsu Higher-Ups did not take issue with Yuki Tsukumo's attitude.

Nor did they immediately reveal the mission.

Instead, they first asked Yuki Tsukumo, "Yuki, what do you think humanity fears most?"

Yuki Tsukumo frowned, somewhat unable to understand what these old men were getting at.

Still, she gave her answer. "Probably death. People are pretty afraid of dying, after all."

"Especially old men."

The Jujutsu Higher-Ups did not take offense at Yuki Tsukumo's jab.

Instead, they continued, "That's right. What humanity fears most is undoubtedly death."

"Because death represents the ultimate unknown. Where does one go after death? What will one encounter?"

"No one can know or answer."

"Thus, death has become humanity's ultimate fear."

"And as everyone knows, Cursed Spirits are born from human fear."

"So tell us, do you think a Cursed Spirit symbolizing death could be born?"

Yuki Tsukumo nearly laughed when she heard that.

In fact, she really did laugh.

"Come on, old man. How could something as abstract as death possibly give rise to a Cursed Spirit?"

"Hahaha, how come I never noticed you were actually pretty funny before?"

Yet before long, Yuki Tsukumo's laughter died away.

Because those Jujutsu Higher-Ups, those old men,

showed no reaction whatsoever to her mockery.

They were terrifyingly serious.

That immediately made Yuki Tsukumo realize how grave the matter was.

No way. Could there really be a Cursed Spirit that represented death?

But that was far too absurd.

How could a Cursed Spirit be born from a concept as abstract and broad as death?

This had to be fake!

Yet, seeing the grave expressions on those old geezers' faces,

Yuki Tsukumo's heart skipped a beat.

Oh no, it seems to be real!

Ignoring Yuki Tsukumo's increasingly ugly expression,

the Jujutsu Higher-Ups continued, "We are not the only ones who have speculated that death might give rise to a Cursed Spirit."

"Our predecessors, the ancients from hundreds or even thousands of years ago, had similar speculations."

"However, this theory was never proven, because no one had ever seen a Cursed Spirit born from death."

"If we had to name one, perhaps only the legendary Izanami would qualify."

Izanami, the mother of gods in myth and legend, ruler of Yomi, was revered as the goddess who controlled death.

If anyone in Japan's history and mythology was most likely to be the "Death Curse Spirit," it could only be her.

By then, Yuki Tsukumo had gone numb.

Didn't you call me here to carry out a mission?

Then hurry up and tell me the mission already!

You haven't said a word about it, and you're just dumping all this trivia on me.

What the hell are you trying to say?!

It was making her skin crawl.

She was terrified that the next second, those old men would tell her to fight Izanami.

Was she worthy of fighting Izanami?

It was not like she was some great deity such as Amaterasu.

Just as Yuki Tsukumo was about to turn around and run away,

the Higher-Ups finally got to the point.

"Whether Izanami truly exists can no longer be verified. But unfortunately, after our confirmation and Lord Tengen's assurance—"

"the Death Curse Spirit truly exists, and it has already been born in Japan!"

At that moment, Yuki Tsukumo felt like someone who had just finished hearing an entire ghost story, only to suddenly learn the next second that ghosts really existed.

Her whole body trembled several times in fright.

Then she hurriedly said, "How is that possible? How can such an outrageous Cursed Spirit really exist?"

"You're joking with me, right? You're lying to me, aren't you?"

At that moment, Yuki Tsukumo would rather those old men be lying to her.

She might have been angry if they were, but she would not have been afraid.

Unfortunately...

Right in front of Yuki Tsukumo, the Higher-Ups shook their heads.

Then they quickly added, "This has been confirmed by Lord Tengen."

"Lord Tengen's information cannot possibly be wrong!"

At that point, Yuki Tsukumo completely gave up hope.

She did not trust the Higher-Ups, but could she possibly distrust Tengen?

Why were so many Cursed Spirits born in Japan?

Why were Japan's sorcerers and Cursed Spirits generally so much stronger than those in other regions?

The reason was simple: Tengen!

No one knew Tengen's exact origins. They only knew that Tengen had lived for an incredibly long time.

At the same time, due to Tengen's unique technique, Tengen was known as the "All-Knowing One."

It was said that there was nothing in all of Japan that Tengen did not know.

Therefore, any information confirmed by Tengen was one hundred percent true.

And so, when Yuki Tsukumo learned that Tengen had confirmed the Death Curse Spirit truly existed and had already been born in Japan,

only one thought remained in her mind.

We're screwed!

The Death Curse Spirit was undoubtedly the pinnacle of all Cursed Spirits.

It was practically a god among Cursed Spirits by birth.

If even such a Cursed Spirit could be born, it could only mean that the end of the world was approaching.

However, Yuki Tsukumo quickly pulled herself together.

She raised her head and looked at the Higher-Ups. "Just tell me where the Death Curse Spirit is and what condition it's in."

"At worst, I'll die with dignity!"

Now that they had said this much, how could Yuki Tsukumo not know why these people had called her here?

They wanted her to fight the Death Curse Spirit, didn't they? Then she would fight it!

As if she could be afraid of it.

Seeing this, the Jujutsu Higher-Ups quickly told her about the Death Curse Spirit—that was, Ronawa.

After hearing everything, only one thought remained in Yuki Tsukumo's head.

Satoru Gojo really is sick in the head!
