• Mo Bai used the Adaptive Wheel to recover inside Aleph-1 and waved toward approaching footsteps, saying, “Yo, long time no see.”

Mo Bai reunited with the original Mahoraga, who had gained a mind and a connection to Void Matter during their long separation. They began fighting, and Mo Bai wondered what had kept Mahoraga sane through more than a thousand years in the Void Matter Space.

• Mo Bai and Mahoraga exchanged powerful blows, and Mo Bai sensed that Mahoraga had gained a connection to Void Matter.
• Mahoraga questioned why Mo Bai had unlocked only one of his Six Eyes, and Mo Bai acknowledged that he was deliberately holding back.
• Mo Bai reflected that more than a thousand years had passed for Mahoraga in the Void Matter Space and wondered what had preserved his mind.

Mahoraga taunted Mo Bai about his belief that he respected life, shaking his resolve until his attacks weakened. Mahoraga broke through Mo Bai’s defenses and began pummeling him, while Mo Bai’s adaptation to the blows proceeded slowly.

• Mo Bai used Blue to pull Mahoraga and struck him repeatedly with Red, while Mahoraga pinned himself in place with the Sword of Extermination.

• Mahoraga punched Mo Bai in the stomach, caught him against his arm, and repeatedly struck him while Mo Bai’s adaptation to the physical attacks slowed.

Mo Bai struggled to understand his true nature while fighting Mahoraga, then accepted that he was a selfish Jujutsu Sorcerer who put himself and his friends first. He kept fighting and flew toward Blue with an unfired Red in hand.

• As Purple approached, Mo Bai crossed his fingers and activated Domain Expansion: Unlimited Void.

After Mo Bai left Mahoraga trapped in the Void Matter Space, Mahoraga struggled with his newfound independence and the loneliness of the chaotic realm. He discovered he could absorb a piece of Void Matter, understood Mo Bai’s promise to return, and resolved to grow stronger while waiting for him.

• Mahoraga failed to escape the Void Matter Space and vented his fury by throwing debris and punching at the space itself.

• Mahoraga tore off and swallowed a glowing piece of Void Matter, absorbing its frequency and understanding Mo Bai’s promise to return.
• Mahoraga vowed to grow stronger for a thousand years and crush Mo Bai when he came back.

• Mahoraga devoured Void Matter and lingering human frequencies, but their memories and thoughts threatened to change him.

• Mahoraga spent a thousand years adapting to the Wheel's power, then sent Void Matter carrying frequencies into Solaris to warn Mo Bai.
• Mahoraga contacted Aleph-1 and asked him to prepare a battleground for his duel with Mo Bai.

Mo Bai tried to defeat Mahoraga with Unlimited Void and Hollow Technique: Purple, but Mahoraga survived and neutralized both attacks.

• Mo Bai blocked Mahoraga’s punch with reinforced arms, while Mahoraga taunted him and continued toying with him.

• Mahoraga formed a deep purple sphere after recalling Mo Bai’s Hollow Technique: Purple.

Mo Bai survived Mahoraga’s Hollow Technique: Purple by striking him with Black Flash, which restored his Limitless. He realized Mahoraga could also use stored Red to breach Limitless’s defense, making him a dangerous counter to Mo Bai’s abilities.

• Mo Bai prepared to face Hollow Technique: Purple and kept the Wish-Bearing Bell as a last resort.
• Mahoraga rushed in to attack Mo Bai while he dealt with Hollow Technique: Purple, but Mo Bai struck him with Black Flash.
• Mo Bai’s Cursed Technique returned, and he used Blue to escape the Hollow Technique: Purple.
• Mahoraga attacked again, using stored Red to breach Limitless and force Mo Bai to block with his body.
• Mo Bai realized Mahoraga could counter Limitless’s defense and withstand Unlimited Void, making him its natural enemy.

Mo Bai tried to use the Adaptive Wheel to adjust to Mahoraga, relying on Limitless to keep moving while adaptation took hold. Mahoraga revealed a Prayer Beads Cursed Tool he had developed during his long time in the Void Matter Space, leaving Mo Bai facing an unknown countermeasure.

• Mo Bai realized his Adaptive Wheel could preserve adapted resistances but would vanish whenever he switched Cursed Techniques.
• Mahoraga struck Mo Bai again, and Mo Bai used Blue to change his flight path and create distance.

• Mahoraga pulled enormous Prayer Beads from his mouth and slipped them onto his hand, revealing a Cursed Tool he had created through years of trial and error.

Mahoraga studied how cursed tools were made and used his own body to create them in the Void Matter Space. He fashioned Prayer Beads that could stop the surrounding void matter from devouring objects, giving him a way to counter Mo Bai’s Adaptive Wheel and prepare an arena for their fight.

• Mahoraga found that tools made by simply saturating objects with cursed energy were too weak to be useful.
• Mahoraga realized his body could provide cursed energy-rich material and repeatedly severed and regenerated his limbs, piling them into a bathtub.

• Mahoraga tested the Prayer Beads and discovered they could stop the surrounding void matter from instinctively devouring nearby objects over a wide area.
• Mahoraga swallowed the Prayer Beads for safekeeping until he could use them against Mo Bai.

Mo Bai fought Mahoraga by combining Blue with a Black Flash and used Red to gain the upper hand, while Mahoraga absorbed and returned the attack. Mahoraga then revealed the Prayer Beads, which stopped cursed energy from flowing and left both Adaptive Wheels unable to turn.

• Mo Bai assessed that Mahoraga had adapted to his physical and Limitless attacks, so he charged in to force Mahoraga to reveal the Prayer Beads' ability.
• Mo Bai used Blue to draw Mahoraga in and struck him with a Black Flash, but Mahoraga absorbed Blue and fired back with a Red he had previously devoured.
• Mo Bai's Adaptive Wheel turned after Red hit him, and he taunted Mahoraga as their exchange left him with the advantage.
• Mahoraga admitted that [Gluttony] could not match [Adaptation] and removed the Prayer Beads from his wrist.
• Mahoraga activated the Prayer Beads, causing cursed energy to stop flowing and both his and Mo Bai's Wheels to lose the ability to turn.

Mo Bai fought Mahoraga inside Aleph-1’s arena, where Mahoraga’s Prayer Beads stopped cursed energy and disabled both the Adaptive Wheel and Limitless. Mo Bai and his shikigami set up a coordinated attack, but Mahoraga prepared to answer with his own Black Flash.

• Mo Bai realized the Prayer Beads halted cursed energy and the Adaptive Wheel within their range, forcing him and Mahoraga into close combat.
• Mahoraga explained that a Mahoraga without his Wheel would be a laughingstock, then drew his Sword of Extermination.
• Mo Bai summoned Etu and Mountain, assigning Etu to lead the assault while Mountain prepared the crucial attack.
• Etu charged Mahoraga, sank into the shadows, then emerged behind him and restrained him as Mo Bai closed in with a Black Flash.
• Mo Bai's Black Flash and Mountain's approaching charge threatened Mahoraga, who remained calm because he could also land a Black Flash.

Mo Bai lured Mahoraga into his Domain Expansion, Chimera Shadow Garden, and used it to fully activate his Maximum Technique, Zhengming. The newly formed shikigami came alive as Mahoraga destroyed the domain’s ghostly flames.
