Eve of the Great Battle!

Eve of the Great Battle! Not long ago.

Suguru Geto's ideal was pierced through by Ronawa in the most straightforward way possible.

She completely woke him from his fantasy.

He understood that even if every human in the world were killed, sorcerers would still keep slaughtering one another.

A world where sorcerers would never be harmed simply could not exist.

But, but...

As a stubborn man, as a pure idealist...

Suguru Geto still refused to give up.

He could not abandon the cause he had upheld for half his life just because of a single sentence from Ronawa.

He needed to give himself an answer.

He needed to make everything his past self had done meaningful.

That was why he had decided to prepare for one final dance.

He planned to launch the Night Parade of a Hundred Demons when Ronawa and Satoru Gojo fought their decisive battle.

This was the final effort he could make for his plan.

It could even be said that this was the ending he had chosen for himself.

To die on the path of pursuing his ideal.

For Suguru Geto, that was already quite a good ending.

That was just how obsessives were.

Even knowing their goal was impossibly distant, they were willing to give everything to get closer to it.

While Ronawa actively prepared for battle and Suguru Geto readied his final dance...

The Jujutsu Higher-Ups were also preparing for the decisive battle half a month away.

Just as Suguru Geto had expected.

The Jujutsu Higher-Ups could not possibly just sit by and watch Satoru Gojo and Ronawa have a "friendly match."

They had long since prepared their killing move.

And this time, the Jujutsu Higher-Ups had spared no expense, even deciding to take the field themselves.

Led by the Gojo Family, Jujutsu Society's higher-ups gathered in Tomb Star Palace.

Many old fossils who had long since withdrawn from the world were dragged out as well!

"What a sight. I never thought I'd see so many old friends at once!"

Looking at the group of lifeless old people in Tomb Star Palace...

Even Naobito Zenin, the head of the Zenin Clan, could not help but sigh.

Among the people before him were not only many he had dealt with before, but also many sorcerers he had never encountered at all, who had been thought dead long ago.

Yet they had all appeared.

It could be said that, in order to ensure Ronawa's death, the major forces of Jujutsu Society had truly brought out all their reserves.

Even those ancient relics had been pulled out to join the battle.

"It can't be helped. The target we're trying to eliminate this time is, after all, the Death Curse Spirit."

"No matter how seriously we take it, it won't be too much!"

Someone replied like that. Naobito Zenin nodded, finding it quite reasonable.

When the enemy was a conceptual existence like the "Death Curse Spirit"...

There was no such thing as taking it too seriously.

And this time, in addition to the many old monsters joining the fight, each family's Special-Grade Cursed Tools had also been brought out.

The goal was to achieve victory in one battle and extinguish Ronawa, the Death Curse Spirit.

It could not be helped. Ronawa had grown too quickly, and her current combat strength was far too formidable.

Many people could see that this was likely their last chance to kill Ronawa.

If they still could not exorcise and kill Ronawa this time...

Then no one would be able to deal with her in the future.

Precisely because this was their final chance, the higher-ups of Jujutsu Society were willing to spare no expense and empty their coffers to set up this killing trap.

They treated it as their last attempt to exorcise Ronawa.

Of course, some might wonder...

Why were the Jujutsu Higher-Ups so determined to exorcise Ronawa?

The reason was not complicated.

On one hand, as those in power, the higher-ups truly did not want an uncontrollable existence to emerge and threaten their rule.

On the other hand, they coveted Ronawa's body.

Of course, in the literal, physical sense.

As the Death Curse Spirit, Ronawa was the embodied concept of death.

Her body was an unprecedented, supreme-grade material.

If they could get their hands on it, they could use it as a blueprint to forge the most terrifying Cursed Tool in history.

Then, wielding a Death Cursed Tool, even Satoru Gojo would have to obediently listen to them.

And if they were lucky enough to use Ronawa's corpse to comprehend the mysteries of death...

They might even have a chance at immortality.

In short, to the Jujutsu Higher-Ups...

Ronawa's existence was not only the greatest factor threatening their rule.

It was also the key to whether their rule could continue.

Even for the sake of their own power, the Jujutsu Higher-Ups could not let Ronawa go.

They were destined to stand in opposition to one another.

This was also why the Jujutsu Higher-Ups wanted to eliminate Ronawa at all costs.

The answer to Satoru Gojo's confusion lay here as well.

From his own perspective...

He believed Ronawa had the potential to become a companion who maintained the world's balance.

That was because Satoru Gojo stood from the perspective of all living beings.

He stood in a relatively objective position.

But the Jujutsu Higher-Ups had stood from the perspective of rulers from the very beginning.

That was why Satoru Gojo found it difficult to understand why the Jujutsu Higher-Ups could never accept Ronawa.

They would rather force Ronawa into becoming an enemy than stop targeting her at all costs.

That was the reason.

The Jujutsu Higher-Ups were nothing more than a group of selfish people who could not let go of their own power.

How could they possibly maintain an objective stance like Satoru Gojo?

This was also why Satoru Gojo would slaughter the Jujutsu Higher-Ups in the future.

Because Satoru Gojo realized that he could no longer tolerate those selfish so-called higher-ups who should have been swept into history's garbage heap long ago.

As the date of the great battle drew nearer day by day...

The various factions made their final preparations.

At last, two months had passed.

The day of Ronawa's decisive battle with Satoru Gojo had arrived.

After eating breakfast at Suguru Geto's home, Ronawa said to the three of them, "I'm heading out. I might be back late."

Nanako Hasaba and Mimiko did not actually know that Ronawa was about to fight Satoru Gojo.

Ronawa and Suguru Geto had tacitly agreed not to tell them.

Because even if they knew, they would not be able to help.

Why make them worry for nothing?

But Suguru Geto knew. Watching Ronawa rise and head out, he thought for a moment before saying, "Be careful. Make sure you show that guy what you're made of!"

Ronawa nodded. Then, without further hesitation, she vanished from the three's sight.

After Ronawa left, Suguru Geto said to the sisters, "You two should get to school. I have something to take care of later too."

"Okay, Father. See you tonight!"

Neither Nanako Hasaba nor Mimiko sensed that anything was wrong.

They thought today was just another very ordinary day, like so many days before it.

They had no idea that after today, many things would become completely different.

After seeing Nanako Hasaba and Mimiko both off...

Suguru Geto got up and packed his things.

Then he, too, resolutely headed toward Jujutsu High.

Today, Ronawa would face Satoru Gojo head-on.

This was her trial. Only by overcoming it could she have a future.

Today was also the day Suguru Geto would race toward his ideal.

Even if the price was to be shattered to pieces, like a moth flying into a flame!
