After Shoko Ieiri made the suggestion.

Ronawa quickly sprang into action as well.

After changing into a different outfit with Shoko Ieiri.

The two held hands and used Distance Kill to instantly appear in Nagasaki.

Then, following the source of the cursed energy, they made their way to the center of Nagasaki.

When they arrived, they found the place already bustling.

Ronawa also spotted quite a few familiar faces.

For example, Yuta Okkotsu.

Because the Jujutsu Society was short-handed, Yuta Okkotsu had already begun going out on missions.

He had brought Maki Zenin and the others from his year around Japan to put out fires and exorcise curses.

By coincidence, they had received a mission tonight.

They were to deal with a newly born Special-Grade Curse.

At that moment, Yuta Okkotsu and the others had already set up a large Curtain to prevent this Special-Grade Curse birth from attracting ordinary people's attention.

After that, they patiently waited for the Special-Grade Curse to be born.

Of course, Yuta Okkotsu and the others would not be like Satoru Gojo and leave this newborn Special-Grade Curse alive.

Not everyone was Satoru Gojo.

Nor was every Special-Grade Curse named Ronawa.

Besides Yuta Okkotsu and his group, another group was also waiting for the Special-Grade Curse to be born.

It was Kenjaku and his people.

Kenjaku had already expanded his team.

Besides Kenjaku himself and the sisters Nanako and Mimiko.

There was also someone standing beside him whom Ronawa found very familiar.

He looked hideous, with coral-like protrusions on his forehead.

It was Jogo, the Volcano Curse, one of the Four Calamities from the original story!

Apparently, Kenjaku had found Jogo during this period and talked him into joining.

Honestly, Ronawa had not expected this place to be so lively.

But then again, since she was already here, she might as well enjoy the show.

She was also curious what type of curse this newborn one would be.

"The cursed energy reaction around us is getting more and more intense. That newborn Special-Grade Curse is about to be born!"

"Have we figured out what type of curse this newborn Special-Grade Curse is?"

Yuta Okkotsu asked Maki Zenin beside him.

Maki Zenin shook her head. "We couldn't find anything. No similar Special-Grade Curse has ever been born in history."

"It may be an entirely new Special-Grade Curse!"

As everyone knew, curses were born from humanity's fears.

Curses could be exorcised, but exorcising one did not mean that fear disappeared.

For example, humanity feared volcanoes, so the Special-Grade Curse Jogo was born.

And even if Jogo was exorcised, humanity's fear of volcanoes would not disappear.

That fearful emotion would always remain until, after some time, a new Volcano Curse was born.

At that time, the Volcano Curse might not be called Jogo, but its essence would be no different from Jogo's.

In the end, curses could be exorcised, but the fear they represented could not.

By the same logic, most curses being born now were curses that had existed before but had been exorcised.

For instance, there had been several records of Volcano Curses being exorcised in the past.

It was just that the newly born Volcano Curse of this generation happened to be named Jogo.

That was why, when facing this newborn Special-Grade Curse.

Yuta Okkotsu had investigated its type.

He wanted to see what fear this curse had been born from.

Unfortunately, he had found nothing.

That meant the curse about to be born before them would be an entirely new curse.

One that had never appeared in history.

A new type of Special-Grade Curse born from humanity's fears in recent years.

So what exactly was it?

Yuta Okkotsu was pondering the question, but Kenjaku had already guessed the answer.

"This is truly outrageous. A curse like this is actually going to be born!"

"But that raises another question. What should this curse be called?"

"The Nuclear Curse? Or the Atomic Curse?"

The location was Nagasaki, and its strength was that of a Special-Grade Curse.

It had also been born from something humanity had feared in recent years.

Something the people of Japan particularly dreaded and feared.

Other than Little Boy and Fat Man, Kenjaku could not think of anything else.

In other words, the Special-Grade Curse about to be born in Nagasaki came from humanity's fear of nuclear weapons.

Their fear of atomic bombs and nuclear radiation.

And it had given birth to a brand-new Special-Grade Curse.

That was also why this Special-Grade Curse was stronger than ordinary Special-Grade Curses.

Because, at least in Japan, people's fear of nuclear weapons ran deeply.

The only country in history to have been hit by mushroom bombs.

Those who understood knew the weight of that.

Japan's unique circumstances also caused curses born here to be far stronger than those in other regions.

Which meant that this Special-Grade Curse about to be born was somewhat beyond the standard.

At the very least, ordinary Special-Grade Curses like Jogo could not compare to it.

Of course, that did not mean volcanic eruptions were less powerful than nuclear weapons.

It was simply because this was not Jogo's era.

The power and destructiveness of volcanic eruptions naturally far exceeded nuclear weapons.

But curses were essentially born from humanity's fear.

And that was where Jogo suffered.

Japan had gone too long without experiencing the pain of volcanic eruptions.

Over the past thousand years or so, none of Japan's major volcanoes had records of violently erupting.

Nor had they caused massive casualties.

As a result, people's fear of volcanic eruptions was limited.

But nuclear weapons were different. Even now, the Japanese still feared those terrifying weapons.

Because they had truly experienced them.

In the end, the strength of a Special-Grade Curse also depended on the era!

If Japan had suffered a large-scale volcanic eruption with enormous casualties in recent decades.

Then this would have been Jogo's era.

His strength would have been far greater than it was now.

Likewise, if Japan had suffered an extremely severe tsunami in recent decades.

Then this would have been Dagon's era.

His strength would have received a massive boost as well.

Unfortunately, none of that had happened.

As a result, both Jogo and Dagon were rather average in strength.

After all, this was no longer their golden era.

But the Nuclear Weapons Curse about to be born was different.

This was exactly its era.

If the world truly erupted into large-scale nuclear warfare in the future.

Then the Nuclear Weapons Curse's power would continue to soar.

In the end, a curse's strength depended entirely on how much humanity feared it.

And that was what made Ronawa so monstrous.

Because she never needed to depend on the era.

She stood above so-called "eras."

After all, humans of every age feared death.

That was unavoidable.

Which meant Ronawa had no such thing as an era.

If one insisted on putting it that way.

She was the era itself!

That was the greatest difference between Ronawa and the other Special-Grade Curses.
