Looking at the corpse before them, the three felt even the air grow tense.
But there were five people they had to find. They still needed to press on and search for the other two, who might already be dead.
Just then, Sukuna suddenly sensed something. A mouth appeared, and he hurriedly shouted at Megumi Fushiguro-
"Something's coming! Megumi Fushiguro! Dismiss the Divine Dogs, now!!"
-He sensed something heading straight for the Divine Dogs!
He couldn't let anything happen to the Divine Dogs! He hadn't even gotten to pet them yet, aaaaaah!!-
Megumi Fushiguro instinctively released his cursed technique. Almost the instant the Divine Dogs turned into shadows and vanished into the floor, a figure moving too fast for the eye to follow suddenly appeared where they had been, its claw swiping through empty air!
Megumi Fushiguro broke out in a cold sweat-
That was close... He'd almost lost the Divine Dogs!
"...Aah!"
Nobara's startled cry rang out almost simultaneously. A circular black shadow suddenly appeared beneath her feet and swallowed her in an instant.
Seeing this, Itadori didn't hesitate. He immediately shouted-"Sukuna!"
Black cursed markings rapidly surfaced as a furious Sukuna took over-he had just said nothing would happen with him around, only to lose someone immediately afterward. His reputation as the King of Curses was in tatters!
Everything had happened too quickly. He hadn't even had time to warn them.
He glared viciously at the cursed womb before him and quickly said to Megumi Fushiguro,
"Megumi Fushiguro, go find Kugisaki first!"
"Leave... this one to me!"
Sukuna's voice was thick with murderous intent.
Overwhelming murderous intent flooded the entire space. As if it had sensed something terrifying, the misshapen cursed womb that had suddenly appeared backed away quickly, trembling all over.
Seeing this, Megumi Fushiguro didn't hesitate. He summoned the Divine Dogs again and rushed out the door to search for Nobara.
Once Megumi Fushiguro had left, Sukuna stopped suppressing his bloodlust.
He looked at the trembling curse before him with a cold sneer, and his boundless presence came crashing down.
The special grade cursed womb could barely straighten under the pressure of his overpowering cursed energy, struggling desperately to hold itself up.
Sukuna stared at it with icy eyes.
The fingertip he had already raised slowly lowered-
He could use Dismantle to cut it into pieces, but suddenly, the words Yuji had said to him earlier echoed in his mind-
-Beat the hell out of it for me!
The corner of Sukuna's mouth curved upward.
Gladly!-
He lowered his hand, tilted his head, and chuckled at the curse.
"Special grade, huh?"
"-You can be proud. You'll be the first bastard I beat up with my fists!"
He curled his fingers into a fist, picturing the Divergent Fist Yuji had used. Cursed energy, vivid blue entwined with black, rose around him.
The surging, potent cursed energy enveloped his entire body.
He pushed off the ground, appeared before the special grade cursed spirit in an instant, and drove his fist viciously into its face.
The cursed spirit slammed into the wall like a missile, spewing a torrent of purplish-red liquid. Not a single part of its battered face remained intact.
It let out a scream and clumsily circulated its cursed energy, struggling to heal its nearly caved-in head.
"Healing yourself... Let's see which is faster, then."
Sukuna's grin widened. In a flash, he appeared before the cursed spirit again.
His fists, wrapped in vivid blue cursed energy, rained down without pause, smashing into the cursed spirit. Then he spun and viciously kicked it down through the floor.
The tremendous impact sent the cursed spirit crashing through several floors and into the water at the bottom of the building, where it let out an agonized, piercing wail.
Sukuna stepped onto the edge of the hole and looked down at the howling cursed spirit, a low, delighted chuckle escaping his lips.
Red light flickered in his cold, mocking eyes.
Deep within him, bloody murderous intent spread unchecked.
