A Final Battle with Satoru Gojo—Could She Win?

With her complete falling-out with the jujutsu sorcerers,

Ronawa had no idea where she should go for the moment.

She definitely could not go to Shoko Ieiri.

She was not afraid, but Shoko Ieiri clearly could not handle it.

With nothing to do, Ronawa bought an ice pop and went alone to the rooftop of a Ginza high-rise.

She sat on the edge of the building, her legs dangling outside as she took in the view.

Tokyo's skyline really was quite nice.

After all, it was an international metropolis with a population in the tens of millions.

Just then, a familiar voice came from behind her.

"I thought you'd find somewhere to hide."

"I didn't expect you to be so bold."

The newcomer was none other than Satoru Gojo.

Ronawa did not even turn around. "I didn't do anything wrong. Why should I hide?"

"On the other hand, someone is usually everywhere, yet when it matters, he is nowhere to be found."

"That's seriously the worst."

That's right, Ronawa was talking about Satoru Gojo!

The so-called strongest modern jujutsu sorcerer—where were you when it was time for a team fight?

You only showed up after the battle was over, huh?

Faced with Ronawa's complaints, Satoru Gojo was left speechless.

Of course, he could explain that he had received a mission at the time and had temporarily left Tokyo.

But there was no point in saying that now.

Ronawa had already been exposed and had fought the jujutsu sorcerers.

Things could no longer go back to how they had been before.

To be honest, Satoru Gojo had a headache too.

On one hand, he did not know how to face the other jujutsu sorcerers.

On the other hand, he did not know how to deal with Ronawa.

What a headache!

Although Satoru Gojo had not been present when it happened,

with his abilities, figuring out the whole story had been far too easy.

Naturally, he knew exactly what the situation had been.

To be fair, Satoru Gojo did not think Ronawa had done anything wrong.

She had even shown some restraint.

Before making a move, she had even issued a "disclaimer," giving those jujutsu sorcerers a chance to leave.

If it had been Satoru Gojo, he was not even sure whether he would have done the same.

More likely, he would have started killing immediately.

From that perspective, Satoru Gojo truly could not find any reason to hold Ronawa accountable.

He could not possibly demand that Ronawa refrain from resisting while being surrounded and attacked, obediently surrendering to be killed.

At the same time, however, Satoru Gojo did not know what he could do to give the jujutsu sorcerers an explanation.

Although Satoru Gojo was usually rebellious and did not give a damn about those higher-ups in Jujutsu Society,

he was still a jujutsu sorcerer.

He could disregard the higher-ups of Jujutsu Society.

But he could not stand against all of Jujutsu Society.

And ultimately, he was responsible for what had happened to Ronawa.

If he had decisively eliminated Ronawa back then, none of this would have happened today.

In a sense, among all those who had died at Ronawa's hands,

Satoru Gojo had played a part in aiding it.

That was rather awkward.

After thinking for a long time, Satoru Gojo finally came up with a solution that was hardly a solution.

Looking at Ronawa's white hair fluttering in the wind, he said, "I'll give you two months. Do your best to grow stronger during that time."

"Two months from now, I'll come find you."

"Whether you survive then will depend on you."

She would have to fight Satoru Gojo in two months?

The moment Ronawa heard that, even the ice pop in her hand no longer tasted good.

She wanted to talk with Satoru Gojo again, even if only to extend the deadline.

Unfortunately, Satoru Gojo gave her no chance. With a single teleport, he vanished.

Far away, where Ronawa did not notice him, Satoru Gojo watched the somewhat gloomy white-haired girl.

He thought to himself, Don't disappoint me, Ronawa!

The reason he had made this two-month agreement with Ronawa

was, on one hand, that Satoru Gojo needed to give the jujutsu sorcerers an explanation.

After all, he had caused this mess. No matter what, he had to make some sort of gesture.

Arranging a battle with Ronawa in front of all the jujutsu sorcerers was a good gesture.

At the same time, Satoru Gojo would judge Ronawa's performance over these two months

to determine how exactly he should deal with her after the two months were up.

After all, at this very moment, Ronawa was under pressure from him, the strongest modern jujutsu sorcerer.

Under the pressure of life and death, no matter how well Ronawa could disguise herself, her true nature would have to reveal itself.

If Ronawa became terrified of being killed by Satoru Gojo in two months and went on a frenzied killing spree to increase her strength,

then sorry, Ronawa would not even make it to two months later.

Satoru Gojo would kill her before then.

Conversely, if Ronawa could still hold to her bottom line under such immense pressure and did not slaughter innocents indiscriminately,

then at worst, Satoru Gojo could go easy on her in two months and give Ronawa a chance to escape.

With his strength, doing that would be effortless.

Everything depended on the choice Ronawa made over these two months.

Hopefully, she would not disappoint him.

Once Ronawa confirmed that Satoru Gojo had truly left,

she no longer cared about maintaining her image.

Irritably, she reached up and ruffled her white hair.

Then she let out a sigh.

She felt that the pressure on her right now was truly enormous.

A showdown with Satoru Gojo in two months?

What a joke. How could she possibly beat him?

That was right. Ronawa was indeed not weak now. Although she had yet to comprehend Domain Expansion,

her raw strength had already reached Special-Grade Rank.

But the difference between Special-Grade Ranks could be unimaginably vast.

It could even be said that the gap between one Special-Grade Rank and another was sometimes greater than the gap between a person and a dog.

And Satoru Gojo was undoubtedly the ceiling of Special-Grade Rank.

Like Ryomen Sukuna, he was a monster in a league of his own.

Ryomen Sukuna had instantly killed a Special-Grade Curse even when he only had one finger.

That showed just how absurdly powerful Satoru Gojo was.

Facing an opponent like that, Ronawa truly wanted to sigh.

Of course, it was not as if there was absolutely no way around it.

If Ronawa could abandon her bottom line and kill without restraint,

slaughtering tens or even hundreds of millions of people,

then her stats would definitely crush Satoru Gojo's.

But Ronawa could never do something like that.

Although she had accepted the fact that she had become a cursed spirit,

she had no intention of truly becoming a lawless cursed spirit.

Ultimately, Ronawa had simply been a cursed spirit for too short a time.

Although her cursed spirit nature had made her much more decisive in killing,

she still retained human morals in her heart.

Asking her to slaughter without restraint was something she truly could not bring herself to do.

Ronawa considered herself neither a good person nor a bad one, merely an ordinary person with basic morals and values.

Turning her into a great demon king who would destroy the world overnight—

how could that possibly be so easy?
