Sukuna stroked his chin and said with interest, "I look forward to the moment you bring me Ze Zenin's head and challenge me to a final battle."
"I'll kill you in the end, Sukuna." A smile curled Xuan'an's lips, as though he couldn't care less.
No matter what happened, Sukuna's ultimate fate would certainly be death...
Unless that manga artist in the real world managed to draw something even more absurd. (Then I'll change the script.)
"Enough."
Xuan'an spoke flatly. "Are you agreeing to the binding vow or not...?"
"If not, you can die inside Yuji Itadori."
Sukuna wasn't angered by the threat. Instead, he said mockingly:
"I'll look forward to fighting you, provided you live long enough."
Xuan'an waved dismissively, set Tengen down, and walked away. "Don't bother bringing up something that could only happen in your imagination.
"I've already found the vessel best suited to you. Get ready to incarnate and come back to life."
Sukuna stared hard at Xuan'an's face, then followed him.
There seemed to be nothing Xuan'an didn't know...
And this also marked the beginning of their cooperation.
Sukuna kept studying the man beside him, making no attempt to conceal his killing intent.
Xuan'an paid it no mind and slowly began, "You should have broken out of that cage on your own. I just never expected..."
"Ze Zenin's scheming to have gone this far."
Sukuna raised an eyebrow and smiled. "What do you mean?"
Xuan'an said nothing and simply continued walking.
Sukuna sneered, then fell silent.
Although he could only escape the cage that was Yuji Itadori with Xuan'an's help, the price in exchange was-
He would kill Satoru Gojo.
Sukuna guessed that this was Xuan'an's objective. To him, this man was something along the lines of an enemy of his enemy being his friend...
