Kenjaku's body was almost engulfed by black lightning. Such a rapid barrage of Black Flash critical hits was unprecedented in the entire history of the Jujutsu Society.
Although, in theory, no one could unleash Black Flash at will, landing it consecutively was not impossible. Once a Jujutsu Sorcerer landed the first Black Flash, their condition improved dramatically, and a second or third was no longer a fantasy.
Chinatsu and Satoru Gojo both entered a state of concentration that shocked even them. Everything except triggering Black Flash became irrelevant. Only the black lightning blooming from their fists consumed their entire beings.
"Black Flash!!!"
Attacking from either side, they landed Black Flash critical hits in unison. The threads above Kenjaku's head, connecting her to a hundred million people, visibly trembled, looking ready to snap.
But fewer than sixty seconds remained until Kenjaku's complete assimilation with those hundred million people. Sensing that progress, she threw back her head and laughed maniacally despite Chinatsu and Satoru Gojo's combined beating. By now, it was hard to tell whether the consciousness within her was even Kenjaku's anymore.
Time... had favored Kenjaku!
As the seconds ticked by, Chinatsu and Satoru Gojo began landing Black Flash less frequently, but both could feel that they were truly just a little short.
"Damn it!"
Satoru Gojo drove a furious punch into Kenjaku's body. No black lightning erupted from his fist, and the countdown to Kenjaku's completed assimilation entered its final ten seconds.
10 seconds.
9 seconds.
8 seconds.
7 seconds.
6 seconds.
5 seconds.
4 seconds.
3 seconds.
2 seconds.
1 second.
Kenjaku's laughter grew ever shriller. In the final second, Satoru Gojo successfully landed another Black Flash, but they were still just a tiny bit short.
Were they going to... lose?
No, they wouldn't.
That absolutely wouldn't happen!
