Kinoshita flipped over, and a mass of liquid metal immediately began wrapping around Mahito.

Mahito frowned and was about to resist when Kinoshita flashed him an internationally recognized gesture of goodwill.

"Take this!!"

In an instant, botulinum toxin began spreading through Mahito's body.

If Reverse Cursed Technique was one of the entry requirements for high-level battles, then Idle Transfiguration was something even more advanced.

It could directly change the shape of the soul, thereby healing the body.

At the same time, however...

Idle Transfiguration had not completely overcome the shortcomings of Reverse Cursed Technique.

In the original story, Roku had electrolyzed seawater into chlorine gas and poisoned Kinji Hakari, who was using Reverse Cursed Technique. Although Hakari quickly adapted, that alone had earned Roku the title of jujutsu PhD.

"Hmph. If you ask me, what the hell do you jujutsu sorcerers know? Your average education doesn't even reach an associate degree!" Kinoshita flipped over and landed perfectly beside Kugisaki.

Botulinum toxin was a potent neurotoxin capable of instantly paralyzing a human's entire body.

On top of that, Kinoshita had used a dose large enough to kill a human tens of thousands of times.

Of course, a cursed spirit on Mahito's level would never be that easy to deal with.

"Huh?" Hearing Kinoshita's remarks, Kugisaki snapped irritably, "Are you looking down on Jujutsu High?"

Kinoshita immediately shook his head in denial.

"Of course not!"

"I'm saying water electrolysis is elementary school knowledge. Roku is a middle schooler at best. It's not just Jujutsu High-all jujutsu sorcerers suck!"

The more Kugisaki listened, the angrier she became. If Kinoshita hadn't just attacked Mahito, she would absolutely have driven a nail into his forehead.

"Can you finish him off?" Kugisaki looked at the seamlessly sealed sphere of liquid metal.

"Don't get close. It's full of radiation, deadly toxins, biotoxins, and metal poisons. Basically, anything alive in there will be completely consumed."

"But none of those things can damage the soul. As long as Mahito's soul survives, he won't die." Kinoshita scratched his neck.

"So what you're doing..."

Soon.

The liquid metal was punched through.

Mahito's eyes were bloodshot. If his soul hadn't kept him sane, he might already have lost his mind under that utterly brutal torture.

"You bastard-!!!!"

"I'm going to turn you into a Transfigured Human Kind and keep you beside me forever! For the rest of your life!!!"

Radiation burns from highly enriched uranium still marked Mahito's face. He seethed with hatred, and even his hair kept falling out, growing back, then falling out again.

Under that barrage of mental, physical, magical, and even nuclear attacks, even Mahoraga would have had to spin his wheel until it smoked.

"Here he comes!"

Kugisaki smiled and raised her hammer. Mahito jerked his head up and scanned his surroundings.

Kugisaki's nails were scattered all around the liquid metal.

The next moment.

"Hairpin!"

Countless nails shot toward Mahito. His body shifted, sprouting countless arms to block as many nails as possible.

"Do you people still not understand?"

"As long as my soul remains intact..."

"I'm invincible!!!"

Kugisaki turned sideways and tossed out a nail. A tremendous bang rang out.

"Resonance!"

Mahito instantly froze, his eyes rolling back. Kugisaki's cursed technique could actually attack his soul directly-or rather, strike his original body directly!

"Wait...! Where's the other guy?"

Mahito coughed up blood and searched everywhere for Kinoshita.

"How can you afford to get distracted in a fight?"

Kugisaki struck again with Resonance!!

"Urgh-!!"

Where Mahito's original body was.

He coughed up blood. Just as he came back to his senses, Itadori punched him.

"Black Flash-!"

Mahito was sent flying like a kite with its string cut.

"You bastard who has no respect for life. I'll grind your bones to dust..." Itadori's expression turned vicious.

"Heh..." Mahito forced a smile.

He had no idea what was happening to his double, or why his original body was taking damage over and over again.

Damage that could directly strike his soul, no less!

"Itadori Yuji!" Mahito roared, spitting a heap of Transfigured Human Kind out of his mouth. "Try this first!"

Squelch...

A figure appeared. A sharp blade swept past, cutting Mahito clean in half at the waist.

"Hey, hey, hey... Your Idle Transfiguration is way too overpowered. Time for you to log off!"

Grinning, Kinoshita slashed Mahito a few more times.

Mahito reacted and immediately hurled out a giant, swollen Transfigured Human Kind to create some distance, but Kinoshita never gave him the chance.

He immediately whipped up a sphere containing magnesium and aluminum powder as fuel, barium nitrate and ammonium nitrate as oxidizers, and a binding agent. It would reach several thousand degrees Celsius the instant it burned.

In other words, what ordinary people called a flashbang!

"Watch your eyes!!"

Ding-!

The next second, Mahito was engulfed in blinding light and immense pressure, instantly losing all ability to make sense of his surroundings.

Real-world modern flashbangs were different from those in games. Their range wasn't that exaggerated.

Their power, however, was still quite impressive.

"Who are you?" Itadori looked warily at Kinoshita.

After another reset, Kinoshita and Itadori had become strangers again.

But no matter how many times he reset, Kinoshita still knew Itadori very well.

"Just call me Kinoshita. Is anything more important than killing this little bastard?" Kinoshita grinned.

Itadori paused, but quickly agreed inwardly. Yeah... Nothing!

"You bastard... What the hell is this thing!!!"

Mahito's original body wasn't as easy to deal with as his double. Even while dazed, he immediately threw out a large number of Transfigured Human Kind to defend himself.

"Idle Transfiguration: Polymorphic Soul Isomer!"

Once Itadori confirmed that Kinoshita was an ally, he had no intention of giving Mahito a chance to react either.

Tears were now streaming nonstop from Mahito's eyes. He had never cried since the day he was born.

But today.

Kinoshita was the first human to make him cry this miserably!!!

"Aaaaaah!!"

The transfigured humans surged toward Kinoshita and Itadori like towering trees growing at breakneck speed.

Kinoshita looked at the humans still groaning on the ground and felt a chill run through him.

He wasn't exactly a good person, but seeing something so grotesquely twisted with his own eyes still made him shrink back.

"Be careful. If this guy touches you, you'll die horribly!" Itadori warned Kinoshita.

Kinoshita knew that, of course. He kept closing in on Mahito with agile footwork, hoping to land more finishing blows.

But the next second, a gigantic Train Transfigured Human burst out from among the masses of Transfigured Human Kind flesh.

Kinoshita felt the ground vanish beneath his feet and shouted, "Not good!"

Then came a crunch.

The Train Transfigured Human successfully swallowed Kinoshita.

"Kinoshita!" Itadori frowned.

But as in the original story, the repeated hits from Resonance had already pushed Mahito close to his limit, and he began using Multiple Souls: Body Repel in large numbers ahead of schedule!

An absurd number of transfigured humans kept surging over the two of them until they burst the station apart, bringing the battlefield up to the surface!
