The Battle Ends, and the Scheme Goes Bankrupt! "Looks like I won!"

Ronawa descended from midair and landed in front of Yuta Okkotsu.

Then she delivered her victor's remarks.

Yuta hated it to the core, yet there was nothing he could do.

Rika's defeat had dealt him severe backlash.

Not only had he coughed up blood, but more importantly, he had been forced into Technique Burnout.

He had completely lost the ability to fight back.

He had become a lamb awaiting slaughter.

Just as Ronawa was about to tell Yuta Okkotsu to get lost,

Toge Inumaki in the distance finally snapped out of his shock.

He tore off his mask and roared at Ronawa, "You bastard, die!"

As the words fell, a curse formed from his speech.

Powerful cursed energy rapidly transformed into a blue torrent and came roaring toward Ronawa.

He fired a beam cannon.

Toge Inumaki was a descendant of the "Cursed Speech" clan.

This clan's signature ability was the Cursed Speech Technique—the ability to make whatever they said come true.

It sounded powerful, and it truly was.

But its drawback was equally obvious.

The greater the power, the heavier the price.

And Toge Inumaki's way of shouting—nearly exhausting his body and risking death from backlash—

Was practically gambling his life against Ronawa's.

Even if he was lucky enough to survive, his throat would suffer permanent damage afterward.

But accordingly, the greater the price, the greater the power it produced.

At the very least, the beam cannon charging toward Ronawa possessed attack power on the level of a Special Grade Sorcerer.

He had successfully powered up.

Just as the beam cannon unleashed by Toge Inumaki, carrying everyone's hopes, reached Ronawa,

Ronawa tilted her head and smiled.

Then she directly raised a hand in front of the beam.

The terrifying beam cannon had been unstoppable, turning everything in its path into scorched earth.

Yet when it reached Ronawa, she easily blocked it with one hand.

Only after the beam dissipated did Ronawa slowly withdraw her uninjured hand, looking calmly at Toge Inumaki and the others.

As if to say, That's it?

All that could be said was that the Death Curse Spirit's mechanics were simply too absolute.

Before All Things Die, it was truly extremely difficult for ordinary techniques to threaten Ronawa.

It was basically an impossible task.

Having witnessed all this, everyone had completely fallen into despair.

They had known Ronawa was powerful before coming here.

After all, she was someone who had beaten Yuki Tsukumo into a mummy.

But only after truly fighting her did they realize

That Ronawa was far more powerful than they had imagined.

She had defeated every one of them with casual ease.

Her oppressive presence was absolutely overwhelming.

It was hard not to feel fear and terror.

It was easy to imagine that after today, quite a few people would develop severe psychological trauma because of Ronawa.

As the culprit behind it all, Ronawa slowly walked over to Yuta Okkotsu.

She looked down at him from above.

"Out of consideration for Satoru Gojo, I'll let you off this time."

"I also hope that before acting in the future, you'll first consider whether it's worth it."

"If there's a next time, you won't be so lucky!"

After saying that, Ronawa ignored the complicated looks in Yuta Okkotsu's group's eyes and swiftly vanished from sight.

After Ronawa left, the black-red hands floating in the air, along with the scarlet Death Eyes, all dissipated.

It was as though none of it had ever appeared.

Only after confirming that Ronawa had truly left did Yuta Okkotsu, Maki Zenin, and the others finally relax.

"We survived. That's unbelievable!"

Maki Zenin collapsed onto the ground, her voice filled with the joy of surviving a disaster.

Meanwhile, Yuta Okkotsu quickly ran over to Toge Inumaki, who was lying on the ground.

"How are you? Are you okay?"

Toge Inumaki shook his head to indicate that he was fine, then fainted the very next second.

Yuta Okkotsu was left speechless by the sight.

Bro, you really don't look fine.

Fortunately, Satoru Gojo arrived at that moment.

"I'll take him for treatment. As for you lot..."

"I'll settle accounts with you later!"

"You knew you were walking into certain death, and you still came. You brought this suffering on yourselves!"

Satoru Gojo was genuinely furious.

Luckily, Ronawa had shown some restraint and had not gone for the kill.

Otherwise, those higher-ups would truly have gotten the better of him.

If Yuta Okkotsu and the others had died here, there would no longer have been any room for reconciliation between him and Ronawa.

At that point, killing Ronawa completely would have been his only option.

And that was still the best-case scenario.

If he failed and could not kill Ronawa completely,

It would be like planting a bomb destined to destroy the entire world someday.

The consequences would be unimaginable.

All that could be said was that the Jujutsu Society higher-ups had become senile.

They had insisted on pushing a terrifying existence like Ronawa into the position of an enemy that would never rest until one side died.

They could clearly have coexisted with Ronawa, yet they insisted on fighting to the death.

He had no idea whether those people's brains had been chewed up by dogs.

And this time, those old fools had gone too far.

They had openly plotted against him.

That made Satoru Gojo resolve that he had to respond.

If he did not respond this time and let those old higher-ups know that plotting against him carried serious consequences,

They would definitely push their luck in the future.

"It still failed. Yuta Okkotsu was completely no match for Ronawa and was beaten without any ability to fight back from beginning to end."

"And Ronawa didn't kill Yuta Okkotsu and the others."

"In the end, Satoru Gojo appeared and took away the severely injured students."

"This time, our scheme has completely gone bankrupt."

The result of Ronawa's battle with Yuta Okkotsu's group reached the Jujutsu Society higher-ups immediately.

And upon receiving the news, everyone's first thought was that things had gone wrong.

Their plan had certainly looked beautiful in theory.

If it succeeded, it would indeed bring enormous gains.

But now that it had failed, the consequences were equally severe.

Leaving everything else aside, Satoru Gojo's subsequent retaliation alone was enough to give them a headache.

Satoru Gojo was not the kind of person who silently swallowed his grievances.

On the contrary, Satoru Gojo was someone who always repaid every slight.

Having been plotted against, he would definitely find a way to recover his losses elsewhere.

Furthermore, Ronawa letting Yuta Okkotsu and the others go

Could very likely lead to Satoru Gojo sparing Ronawa

In his future battle against her.

That would be truly fatal.

It could be said that none of the higher-ups' schemes had achieved their intended results.

Instead, they had pushed the situation entirely toward the outcome they least wanted to see.

They had tried to steal a chicken only to lose the rice used to lure it.

That was how schemes worked.

The profits from schemes were high, but so were the risks.

If they succeeded, they would make a fortune.

If they failed, they would lose everything.

The essence of a scheme was gambling.

Only true strength was the path to guaranteed victory.

And strength was precisely what the Jujutsu Society higher-ups lacked!
