Brutality

The system notifications flooded Yagami Jue's mind like the most beautiful symphony in the world!

"Hell yeah!"

Yagami Jue slipped on the Blue Steel Knuckle Dusters, his black eyes flashing with a savage red light in the night.

"Turn into cash for me, you little shits!"

Whoosh!

He unleashed all 4,552 points of his extreme speed!

Yagami Jue instantly became a black whirlwind of death!

He charged into the swarm of cursed spirits.

No defense needed!

No dodging needed!

Just overwhelming physical force!

Bam!

A straight punch blasted the head of an ox-sized Grade 2 Cursed Spirit into pulp!

Crack!

A whip kick tore three lunging grade 3 cursed spirits in half at the waist!

Riiip!

He seized a grade 4 cursed spirit trying to escape with both hands and ripped it clean in two!

Blood!

Severed limbs!

Screams!

The swarm of cursed spirits that should have been slaughtering everyone was now being massacred without a chance to fight back!

Yagami Jue was like a tireless killing machine.

Wherever he passed.

Nothing survived!

Every cursed spirit turned to ash!

"Hahaha! Too weak! You're all too fucking weak!"

Yagami Jue roared with laughter, his face covered in the cursed spirits' black blood, like an asura descended upon the world!

Meanwhile, on the fourth floor of the school building.

Yuji Itadori, who had just rushed into the school to rescue people.

And Megumi Fushiguro, who had followed close behind under orders to retrieve Sukuna's Finger.

Were standing together beside the window at the stairwell.

They stared dumbstruck at the apocalyptic slaughter unfolding on the school grounds below.

Megumi Fushiguro's inherited green eyes widened, and he even stopped breathing.

"Wh-who is that guy?!"

"Not a trace of cursed energy... he's slaughtering hundreds, thousands of cursed spirits with nothing but physical strength?!"

"How is that possible?!"

Megumi Fushiguro felt his entire understanding of the world collapse in that instant.

Even his freak of a father, Toji Fushiguro, couldn't possibly have done this without a cursed tool!

Yuji Itadori's mouth hung open, his jaw nearly hitting the floor.

"Y-Yagami?!"

He recognized the figure slaughtering his way through the monsters.

The cold, withdrawn Yagami Jue, who was always sleeping in class.

Was actually a Super Saiyan who could tear monsters apart with his bare hands?!

Just as their shock reached its peak.

"ROOOAR!!!"

A deafening roar suddenly came from the far end of the fourth-floor hallway!

A massive cursed spirit, covered in eyes and radiating the terrifying aura of a Semi-Grade 1.

Was drooling as it crawled toward Sasaki and Iguchi, who were hiding in a classroom!

"Oh no! The upperclassmen are in danger!"

Yuji Itadori snapped out of his daze and charged recklessly down the hallway!

"Hey! Stay back! You don't have cursed energy! You'll die!"

Megumi Fushiguro paled and reached out to stop him, but it was already too late.

He could only grit his teeth and form hand seals.

"Divine Dogs!"

Two vicious shikigami dogs, one black and one white, instantly leaped out of the shadows and lunged at the Semi-Grade 1 Cursed Spirit!

However.

Ordinary Divine Dogs stood no chance against a Semi-Grade 1 Cursed Spirit!

Bam!

The cursed spirit swatted Black Dog away, then opened its bloody maw and clamped its jaws around the white dog's neck!

"Damn it!"

Megumi Fushiguro's face went pale as his cursed energy recoiled against him.

The cursed spirit was about to charge into the classroom.

"Iguchi! Sasaki!"

Yuji Itadori's eyes reddened. He grabbed a fire extinguisher from the hallway and prepared to fight the cursed spirit to the death!

At that critical moment.

BOOOOM!!!

Someone suddenly smashed into the school building's wall from outside with utterly brutal force.

Blasting a huge hole straight through it!

Amid flying bricks and fragments of concrete.

A figure drenched in blood-the cursed spirits' blood-with eyes filled with savage fury.

Crashed onto the Semi-Grade 1 Cursed Spirit's back like a cannonball!

BAAAM!!!

A thunderous crash!

The massive Semi-Grade 1 Cursed Spirit didn't even have time to scream.

Under that terrifying weight.

Its spine snapped beneath his foot!

Its enormous body lay sprawled on the floor, convulsing wildly!

Standing on the cursed spirit's back, Yagami Jue slowly raised his head.

His cold, bloodthirsty eyes swept over Yuji Itadori and Megumi Fushiguro in the hallway.

"Get in the way of my money."

"And every last one of you pieces of trash dies."

In the hallway.

Pale moonlight poured through the huge hole in the shattered wall and fell across Yagami Jue.

With the cursed spirit's broken spine beneath his feet as it whimpered endlessly, he looked like an ancient demon god bathed in blood.

"Y-Yagami?!"

Yuji Itadori stood frozen, still holding the fire extinguisher.

Despite his exceptional athletic ability, he was ultimately just an ordinary high school student.

The scene before him was completely beyond his comprehension!

Yagami Jue, the outcast who was always sleeping in class, had crippled a monster even Megumi Fushiguro's shikigami couldn't defeat with a single stomp?!

"Who are you?"

Megumi Fushiguro braced himself as though facing a formidable enemy, his hands still holding their seal as cold sweat trickled down his forehead.

His inherited green eyes remained fixed on Yagami Jue.

No cursed energy!

There really wasn't even the slightest trace of cursed energy!

"The physical pinnacle of a heavenly restriction...?"

Megumi Fushiguro gritted his teeth, inwardly shaken. Why would someone like that be in a place like Sendai City?!

Faced with their shock.

Yagami Jue didn't so much as glance at them.

Right now, he only had eyes for the still-breathing "walking ATM" on the floor, worth several million Japanese yen!

"Pretty hard to kill, aren't you?"

A cruel smile curled across Yagami Jue's lips.

He raised his right fist, fitted with the Blue Steel Knuckle Dusters, and aimed at the cursed spirit's enormous, eye-covered head.

All 1,360 points of his savage strength erupted!

BAAAM!!!

An incredibly heavy thud rang out!

Like a massive sledgehammer, Yagami Jue's fist smashed the cursed spirit's head to pieces!

Black blood and slime sprayed across the hallway walls!

[Ding! Semi-Grade 1 Cursed Spirit killed!]

[Loot dropped: 2.5 million Japanese yen!]

"Too little."

Yagami Jue curled his lip in dissatisfaction.

He turned his head, his cold gaze settling on the nearby classroom.

Inside, Sasaki and Iguchi sat collapsed on the floor, trembling.

On the desk before them, the unsealed Sukuna's Finger radiated terrifying cursed energy that made the heart pound!

"So this is the source of everything..."

Yagami Jue licked his lips, his eyes turning ravenously greedy.

Fifty million Japanese yen!

Once I get it, tonight's earnings will break a hundred million!

Whoosh!

Yagami Jue darted forward, instantly becoming a black afterimage as he charged toward the classroom!

"Stop! You can't touch that!"

Megumi Fushiguro's face drained of color!

That was a Special Grade Cursed Object!

If someone without cursed energy touched it, Sukuna's curse could very well devour their sanity and turn them into a monster that knew only slaughter!

"Great Serpent!"

Megumi Fushiguro frantically formed hand seals.

A massive white snake formed from shadow cursed energy shot out of the hallway's shadows, opening its bloody maw to bite down viciously on Yagami Jue!

"Get lost!"

Yagami Jue didn't even turn around.

Still moving at high speed, he lashed backward with a knife-hand strike!

Riiip!

The strike seemed to tear the air apart!

Under the terrifying combination of Yagami Jue's 1,360 points of strength and 4,552 points of speed, the enormous Shadow White Snake.

Was cleaved down the middle like a rag!

Squelch!

The white snake let out a mournful cry and dissolved into a puddle of shadow.

"Ugh!"

Megumi Fushiguro grunted, a trace of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth as he staggered back three steps.

With his shikigami forcibly dispersed, he had suffered considerable backlash as its master!

So strong... there's simply no opening in this pure physical violence!

Megumi Fushiguro's eyes were filled with horror.

By then.

Yagami Jue was already standing before Sukuna's Finger.

"Y-Yagami... p-please... save us..."

Sasaki's face was deathly pale. Looking at Yagami Jue, who resembled a god of slaughter, she reached out a trembling hand.

"Shut up."

Yagami Jue didn't even look at her.

He reached out and seized the shriveled finger.

Buzzzz!

The instant he touched the finger.

An evil curse of suffocating magnitude surged wildly into his body through his arm!

"Hahahaha! Fresh flesh!"

An ancient, sinister voice reverberated wildly inside Yagami Jue's mind.

It was the remnant of Ryomen Sukuna's soul!

"Trying to devour me?"

Yagami Jue stood where he was, his lips curling into a cold, mocking sneer.

His terrifying constitution of 4,538 points was now like an impregnable fortress of steel!
