Output Ceiling!

The Output Ceiling! It turned out...

Even the space of the Limitless Technique could not block the concept of death.

Almost the instant Ronawa used her technique, Satoru Gojo's expression changed.

He could clearly feel the defense of his supposedly invincible Limitless Technique dying.

And then, there was no then.

Ronawa was the first to give out. Panting, she withdrew the command of death she had imposed on the Limitless Technique.

The cursed energy consumption was simply too great.

In theory, there was absolutely no problem with killing the concept of the Limitless Technique.

But her cursed energy could not sustain it.

To make Satoru Gojo's Limitless Technique die—

the cursed energy required was an astronomical amount for the current Ronawa.

She could not do it. She simply could not.

Even so, Satoru Gojo was still shocked by Ronawa's ability.

He had expected as much. After all, she was a cursed spirit born from the concept of "death."

There was no way she could have been weak.

Yet experiencing it firsthand still left him shaken.

Just how had such an ability, one that directly made someone else's technique die, come into being?

It was too unfair.

If Ronawa had enough cursed energy, would she not be able to kill him instantly?

For one brief moment, Satoru Gojo truly had the thought that this woman must not be allowed to live.

Because it was plain to see that once Ronawa matured, she would become an ultimate monster no one could match.

But then, but...

Satoru Gojo really did want to raise a monster.

And if he did not take risks, would he still be Satoru Gojo?

So in the end, Satoru Gojo did nothing to Ronawa.

Instead, he kept his promise and took Ronawa nearby for a huge meal.

It counted as a reward.

For some time afterward, Ronawa stayed cooped up in the little courtyard.

She usually played games, watched videos, and surfed the internet.

Occasionally, she followed Satoru Gojo to learn the basic applications of cursed energy.

For example, Black Flash.

Cursed spirits could use Black Flash too.

At its core, Black Flash was the ultimate control and application of cursed energy.

As long as one could use cursed energy, one could land a Black Flash.

Ronawa simply had not managed it yet.

After all, she was still a newbie.

Of course, that was only what Ronawa thought of herself.

In reality, her cursed energy alone had already reached the level of a Grade 1 Jujutsu Sorcerer.

Combined with her unsolvable technique and abilities—

Grade 1 Jujutsu Sorcerers had virtually no chance of exorcising her.

Even weaker Special Grade Sorcerers risked being defeated when facing Ronawa.

Only a monster like Satoru Gojo left Ronawa unable to see any hope of victory.

Ordinary Special Grade Sorcerers would find it difficult to crush Ronawa with ease.

Of course, real combat was far from that simple.

A battle was not merely a comparison of stats and mechanics.

Too many factors affected a fight.

Mindset, environment, decisions made at critical moments.

Those small things were enough to determine the outcome of a battle.

And Ronawa was undoubtedly weak in that regard.

She had practically no combat experience at all.

In a real fight, she could easily suffer a major loss.

But in terms of raw output alone—

Ronawa was indeed terrifying.

So-called output was actually a formula.

That was, output = "total cursed energy" + "cursed energy efficiency"!

It was not simply a matter of having more cursed energy meaning stronger output.

Take Yuta Okkotsu. His total cursed energy exceeded even Satoru Gojo's.

But could one say Yuta Okkotsu's output was stronger than Satoru Gojo's?

Obviously not.

Because "cursed energy efficiency" had not been factored in.

So-called efficiency was how much power one could draw out from cursed energy.

For example, Yuta Okkotsu could only produce one unit of destructive power with one unit of cursed energy.

But Satoru Gojo could produce five units or even more destructive power with the same one unit of cursed energy.

This meant that although Satoru Gojo had less total cursed energy than Yuta Okkotsu

his destructive power, or rather, his output level, utterly crushed Yuta Okkotsu's.

Their output levels were not even on the same tier.

And Ronawa?

She was a complete bug.

First of all, her total cursed energy had no upper limit.

As long as she continued witnessing death or maintained the balance between life and death—

her total cursed energy would continue increasing.

Before long, her total cursed energy would reach a level that even Sukuna could not comprehend.

And besides her outrageous total cursed energy—

her cursed energy efficiency was absurdly high.

It would only be higher than Satoru Gojo's.

After all, she was the Death Curse Spirit who wielded the authority of Death of All Things, the born ceiling of output.

Forget the future. Even now—

Ronawa's cursed energy efficiency had already surpassed Satoru Gojo's.

After all, if Satoru Gojo had Ronawa's current amount of cursed energy, he would not be able to shake the Limitless Technique.

Yet Ronawa had done it.

That alone was enough to prove that Ronawa's cursed energy efficiency exceeded even Satoru Gojo's.

Just as Satoru Gojo had thought.

Ronawa was a monster through and through.

An existence that no one could restrain once she had grown up.

Besides following Satoru Gojo and learning quite a bit of basic knowledge about Jujutsu Society

Ronawa also figured out the current timeline.

It was now one year before the story officially began.

The Night Parade of a Hundred Demons had not happened yet.

But it would happen soon.

Because October had already passed.

And December 24 was the day the Night Parade of a Hundred Demons would take place.

There were not many days left.

But that had nothing to do with Ronawa. It was not as though she needed to fight Suguru Geto.

Rather than waste time and effort on that, she might as well improve her own strength.

And for Ronawa, the fastest way to grow stronger was to witness death.

And where had the most deaths?

Without a doubt, hospitals.

So Ronawa went to a hospital.

Ignoring the stares of everyone around her, Ronawa searched for someone about to die.

She soon found her target.

It was an elderly man lying on a hospital bed, barely breathing. His time was clearly almost up.

Several of his children were gathered around him, weeping.

It was a very ordinary, very common scene of death.

Ronawa did not disturb them. She merely watched quietly.

Not long afterward, when the old man's final trace of life faded away—

Ronawa clearly felt that her cursed energy had increased somewhat.

It was not much, but it had indeed risen.

Ronawa guessed that the amount her cursed energy increased might also be related to the strength of the person whose death she witnessed.

The stronger the being whose death she witnessed, the more cursed energy she gained.

What did that mean? It meant she would have to focus on attending funerals in the future.

Witnessing an ordinary person's death did not provide much improvement.

But what if she witnessed Satoru Gojo's death?

What if she witnessed Sukuna's death?

Would she not take off immediately?

And with that thought, she remembered a recent opportunity that could rapidly make her stronger.

That was Suguru Geto.

As long as she witnessed Suguru Geto's death, Ronawa's strength would definitely increase greatly!
