Time was up.
The terrifying pressure White Noroi had once felt in the spatial tunnel appeared again. Black light threaded with tiny bolts of energy emerged from his body, turning in an instant into a sphere as tall as a person and enveloping him completely.
Sukuna immediately took over from within him, his expression grave as he summoned his cursed energy.
Just as on the way there, a powerful pull came from every direction. He quickly wrapped his entire body in cursed energy and began resisting that terrifying force.
Before Geto and Gojo's eyes, White Noroi vanished in an instant, along with the spherical mass of black energy that had emerged from his body.
The two stared at the patch of ground that had suddenly become empty, looking a little dazed.
He really had traveled through time...
Even with the concept in their heads, actually seeing it happen still felt rather unbelievable.
If White Noroi hadn't left so many memories and traces behind over the past few days, they might even have thought it had all been something they imagined.
Gojo stood blankly for a few seconds, then suddenly snapped out of it, grabbed Geto beside him, and headed into the house.
Geto: "...? What's wrong?"
Gojo said excitedly, "Let's eat cake! Didn't White Noroi just say he made us a cake? Come on, come on! He kept bragging about how good his baking was. Let's put it to the test!"
Geto: "..."
You can still eat cake? Didn't you just finish a whole buffet?
But remembering what his Satoru often said-"Dessert goes in a separate stomach"-he couldn't help smiling again.
"Okay~"
Inside the space-time tunnel, Little Fox watched nervously from within Sukuna as his young master fought against the force within it.
Fortunately, Sukuna had experience this time.
