Domain Expansion: Lamp-Lighting Blossom
That evening, around 9 PM, Shiratori Gotsu and Megumi Fushiguro returned to the Jujutsu High.
The Mahoraga training program can only be described as a great success, with even some unexpected surprises.
The [Corpse Attraction Shock Blast] Cursed Technique inherently possesses both [explosive] and [fire] properties.
After fully adapting to the [explosion], Mahoraga not only quickly adapted to the [impact force] that followed.
Even after that, he also got used to [fire].
Sukuna's [Malevolent Shrine] Cursed Technique also happens to possess the characteristic of [fire].
His previous attack on Mahoraga at the Juvenile Detention Center, [Release], allowed Mahoraga to successfully adapt to the [Slash].
However, [Corpse Attraction Shock Blast] inadvertently made Mahoraga adapt to [Flame].
In other words, the current Mahoraga is essentially completely immune to all of Sukuna's Cursed Technique effects.
Unbreakable, unseverable, immune to the flames and explosions of [Stove Open].
To this, Shiratori Gotsu only has one thing to say:
"Does little Sukuna dare to touch the sole of your Mahoraga's shoe?"
Just as Fushiguro was about to return to his room, he ran into Satoru Gojo, who was carrying Itadori's collar with one hand, in the corridor.
"Oh, Megumi, you're back just in time!" Satoru Gojo exclaimed excitedly. "I'm about to teach Yuji how to use his Domain, you can come along too!"
Without waiting for Fushiguro's response, he started attacking.
The next moment, the three of them appeared on the surface of a lake.
"Where am I? Hey! Gojo- sensei!"
Looking at the unfamiliar surroundings and then at the bottomless lake below, Itadori was completely bewildered.
Fushiguro, on the other hand, stood calmly on the lake.
"Sorry to keep you waiting!" Satoru Gojo greeted the short figure standing on the lake not far away, and smiled:
"These two are Yuji Itadori and Megumi Fushiguro, who have come to observe and learn."
The moment Shiratori Gotsu saw the other person inside Fushiguro's body, he immediately understood the situation:
' Jogo... the plot has reached this point, tsk tsk, we can't let Sukuna get the information about [Unlimited Void].'
With this in mind, Shiratori Gotsu took swift action.
He immediately made an incision on the back of Fushiguro's right hand, while simultaneously raising his arm and whispering a few words into Satoru Gojo's ear.
"Huh? I see..."
After listening to what Shiratori Gotsu said, Satoru Gojo's face showed a thoughtful expression. "That makes sense, but are you sure you're okay?"
"Don't worry," Shiratori Gotsu said casually, "Megumi, change people."
"Okay." Fushiguro without the slightest hesitation.
Satoru Gojo casually stepped aside.
As for Jogo, upon seeing Itadori and Fushiguro, he began to make plans in his mind:
'The container for Sukuna... and the container for Shiratori Gotsu.'
' Satoru Gojo probably doesn't know about our plan yet, so for the sake of later considerations, I have to pretend I don't know for now.'
Thinking this, he asked, "Who are these two brats? Did you bring them here as shields?"
Before Satoru Gojo could reply, "Hui Pi Wu" chuckled and blurted out:
"I'm your dear daddy~ Come on, call me 'Daddy' and let me hear it~"
After a few seconds of silence, the crater above the Jogo erupted.
His eyes widened in fury, and simultaneously, huge pillars of fire spewed out from the three holes on his head:
"You ill-mannered brat! I'm going to burn you to ashes!"
"Oh dear, I'm so scared," Shiratori Gotsu rubbed the back of her neck and replied in a cheeky tone, "Come on, come on, you're so weak anyway~"
'Shiratori -senpai said this person... is weak...?!'
Itadori stared dumbfounded at the towering pillar of fire, muttering to himself:
'He's more monstrous than any monster I've ever seen before!'
Don't worry.
Satoru Gojo noticed Itadori's emotions and reached out to pat his head. "Your Shiratori- senpai is very strong."
"Besides, that volcano is indeed quite weak!"
Just then, Jogo raised his hand, his body surging with Cursed Energy —clearly a prelude to the Domain Expansion].
"I'll kill you!" Jogo roared.
Shiratori Gotsu immediately produced a Cursed Energy Storage Coin, and in the blink of an eye, his hands moved several times, forming the [Vajra Flame Sun Disc Mudra]:
"Watch closely, kids, I'm only demonstrating this once!"
As he spoke, the Jogo also formed the [Mahakala Mudra], preemptively gathering its Cursed Energy: "[Domain Expansion • Coffin of the Iron Mountain]!"
Then, Shiratori Gotsu's voice rang out the next moment:
"[Domain Expansion • Lamp-Lighting Blossom]!"
Although the Jogo deployed its protective barrier first...
However, thanks to the immense Cursed Energy sealed within that Cursed Energy Storage Coin, Shiratori Gotsu managed to overtake its opponent despite being a latecomer!
The difference in Cursed Energy was too great; before the Jogo's domain barrier could fully unfold, it was directly overwhelmed by Shiratori Gotsu's domain barrier.
Under the incredulous gaze of the Jogo, Shiratori Gotsu slowly raised a finger, smiling as she said, "Instant kill, battle over~"
Boom!
A violent explosion rang out, and the head of the Jogo was blasted into the air by its own body before landing steadily in Satoru Gojo's hands.
"Indeed impressive. No wonder he's Jujutsu Sorcerer from four hundred years ago; his combat skills are incredibly sophisticated."
Satoru Gojo weighed the still-dazed head in his hand and didn't hold back his praise.
Itadori pressed his jaw, which had been dislocated in surprise, back into place, and then asked excitedly, "Senpai, what was that just now?!"
"So this is the Domain Expansion." Shiratori Gotsu waved his hand, dispelling the domain barrier.
He returned the body to Fushiguro, then "spoke" in the usual spot, explaining:
"Based on Barrier Technique, a 'Innate Domain' was constructed around the area using Cursed Energy, imbued with the 'Innate Technique'."
"That's right," Satoru Gojo chimed in, "Deploying a domain consumes a lot of Cursed Energy, but it also has correspondingly huge benefits."
"Firstly, the power of Cursed Technique is enhanced by environmental factors."
"Secondly, casting Cursed Technique attached to the barrier within the domain will always hit."
"Definitely?!" Itadori dropped again.
"That's right, definitely!"
Using herself as an example, Shiratori Gotsu added, "Within the [Lamp-Lighting Blossom] barrier, I can use [Corpse Attraction Shock Blast] on any target regardless of spatial distance!"
"If you are ever pulled into someone else's territory, there are generally two ways to effectively counter it."
"The first method is like what I just did when I attacked the volcano's head—using an even more powerful domain to crush it directly."
"The second method is to use some special techniques to negate a guaranteed hit. I'll teach you that in detail later."
"Alright!" Itadori clasped his fists together. "I will definitely live up to the expectations of Gojo- sensei and Shiratori- senpai!"
Fushiguro said, "Me too."
"Hehe, let's see who learns faster! You're not allowed to ask Senior Shiratori for extra help, okay?"
"... Who wants to compete with you?" Fushiguro rubbed his face, glancing to the side.
"Alright, that concludes our pleasant lesson. Let's begin the interrogation."
Satoru Gojo threw Jogo's head onto the shore and then stomped on it.
Who sent you?
Meanwhile, on the hilltop a hundred meters away, Kenjaku and Hanami had already taken in everything.
"Ah, what a pity. Jogo couldn't even get Satoru Gojo to do it himself."
Kenjaku's lips curled into a cryptic smile, then he looked at Hanami: "So, are you going to save him?"
"Anyway, I can't let anyone related to the Jujutsu High see me, so I'll just go back by myself."
With that, he stood up, dusted himself off, and turned to leave in the opposite direction from the battlefield.
"If you want to save them, then go ahead and do it. I didn't know you two could have such feelings."
Upon hearing this, Hanami a completely inhuman language, the meaning of which was crystal clear in Kenjaku's mind:
"Of course, because we are the true human beings."
After saying that, she disappeared from the spot.
"Heh... a mere Cursed Spirit, yet it dares to speak so arrogantly."
Kenjaku's face was full of sarcasm.
