Chapter 220 Original Story Side Story (End): If Daigo raised a little wolfhound, Ichima, in the prison gates...
This devastating attack, launched by Kazuma Hatori in a fit of rage, was eventually calmed down by Satoru Gojo.
Apart from those who were not at the dojo and those who were not specifically targeted by Kazuma Hatori, most of them suffered severe burns, ranging from minor to major.
Because Kusakabe Atsuya was alone, even though he tried to resist for a moment using his simplified domain, he was burned to ashes by the enraged Hatori Kazuma.
However, Kazuma Hatori only regretted not extending the time it took to burn him to death.
He later learned from Kurusu Hana that the angel who had possessed her had suggested that [before Gojo Satoru and Ryomen Sukuna had a decisive battle, Kozen had arranged for someone to attack Ryosaku].
As a result, Kusakabe Atsuya refuted this, saying that "dividing up the fighting force before facing Ryoumen Sukuna is a bad strategy," and thus the final arrangement was made that "Takaha Fumihiko will deal with Tōsō first, and all the other fighting forces will sit in the live broadcast room to watch the battle, and then after Gojō Satoru loses, Otsuko Yuta will assassinate Tōsō."
The fact that Kazuma Hatake was able to restrain himself from burning down the school and its inhabitants again, despite the absurdity of the battle plan, was entirely due to Satoru Gojo sitting next to him.
If Gojo Satoru hadn't kept undoing the [No Limit] spell and holding the black-haired boy's hand tightly, the latter would have rushed out long ago and wouldn't have been sitting obediently in the chair in the medical room.
The others who were alright were also waiting for the treatment to progress, but they chose to stand at the other end of the room rather than sit in a chair, for fear of being stared at by those gloomy black eyes that contained murderous intent and being attacked again.
There was another reason for their positioning—they couldn't answer every word of Kazuma Hatake's stern questioning, nor did they know how to deal with Satoru Gojo, who wasn't as witty and lively as usual.
Even though it is still unclear about Kazuma Hato's background, he only shows a soft and obedient expression to Satoru Gojo; whenever they are mentioned in conversation, the black-haired boy who is standing almost next to Satoru Gojo will turn his gaze away, and every glance he gives them carries a strong sense of rejection and hostility that is suppressed but still strongly revealed.
The desire to kill someone is impossible to hide.
Perhaps they each had their own thoughts about the current situation, but at this moment, the atmosphere in the room was deathly silent, and no one uttered even a single word.
As for the five points of enlightenment.
Completely unaffected by any hostility directed at him, Gojo Satoru was a little distracted, still pondering how his beloved Kazuma had managed to escape from the game, and how his personality and strength were completely opposite to what he had imagined.
Paranormal activity? Curse? Vampireism? The [Six Eyes] can confirm with 100% certainty that he is human…
Oh well, anyway, he already took care of the director's department a few days ago, so even if this kind of unexpected accident happens, no old man can point fingers at it anymore.
Even though it was just before a major battle, Gojo Satoru unexpectedly found himself much more relaxed than usual.
It was as if the deep-seated fog, which only dared to slowly rise in the stillness of the night, was suddenly washed away by a light rain, revealing a clear sky with floating clouds.
However, Gojo Satoru knew that protecting his own child was a bit biased, and he secretly stuck out his tongue in his mind and apologized to the old men who had already gone to hell.
As for the truth, we can ask about it later.
"As things stand, the previously planned live battlefield broadcast is completely out of the question."
Fully armed, Ieiri Shoko pushed open the door and first announced to everyone present.
Currently, only Ieiri Shoko and Otsuko Yuta can cast reversal spells on others—the former is currently working with Nitta and his assistant Akai to urgently rescue the wounded, while the latter is doing well enough to take care of himself and can only lend a hand.
Youyou possesses both the technique of teleportation and the ability to deploy a defensive [Simple Domain], but he happened to be feeding the crows he was preparing to use for the live stream at the time. The only remaining Mingming did not have a good way to counter Yuqu Kazuma's technique, and a section of the three braids at the back of her head was burned away.
Unlike wounds caused by cold weapons, burns are difficult to heal completely with reversal techniques, and scars are an indelible sequela.
Otherwise, the still energetic old head of the Zen temple wouldn't have succumbed to the Shibuya incident and passed away.
While Mingming isn't in such a dangerous, near-death situation, it's highly unlikely that she'll be able to set up the venue and online live stream before the big battle to earn exorbitant viewing fees.
"You bastard..."
Yuu was furious when she learned that her sister was seriously injured. She wanted Kazuma Hatori to make it up to her, but she was scared off by his even colder aura.
"She wants to make a fortune by sucking Mr. Gojo's blood, and even said that [her life is not worth money] and [she will not go to the battlefield to provide support, otherwise she will run away with her tail between her legs]... Ha, if you dare to do these things, you should be prepared to be taught a lesson."
Kazuma Hato said coldly, "Besides, I was going to kill her. You should thank Mr. Gojo for arriving in time, otherwise I would have spared your lives."
Youyou was so provoked by those words that she jumped up and down: "You...!"
"You're allowed to stand up for your sister, but not for Mr. Gojo to be bullied?" Kazuma Hato narrowed his eyes. "Don't just shout here. You can come and attack me. I don't mind killing you too, so you can lie next to your dear sister."
The impact and intimidation of those words were so great that Youyou, who knew she couldn't beat him, was completely speechless and could only stare at him helplessly.
Gojo Satoru, sitting next to him, didn't say anything, pretending that he was still in a daze.
No one in the medical room offered any advice; they were all either looking up at the sky or down at the ground.
It's one thing for everyone to tacitly approve of the finalization of those battle plans, but it's another thing to see how inhumane Gojo Satoru was to have the plans exposed.
Besides, Mingming, who only cares about money, doesn't have a good relationship with them. She did evacuate early during the Shibuya support mission, so there's no need for her to speak up for her at this time.
"Should we listen to what others say?"
Finally, Ieiri Shoko coughed softly, ending this silent battle.
"Yigu is mostly fine, but Maki's injuries are a bit bad. However, her constitution is special, and based on my experience with her severe burns last time, she might be able to pull through. As for Panda," she thought for a moment, "the core of the Cursed Corpse is still intact, so it's hard to say what will happen to it. I haven't treated the Cursed Corpse before, and the principal is already..."
"Well, the others aren't seriously injured and can be treated as ordinary burns. But it's certain that they'll be in pain for a long time, since the skin has to heal on its own."
"As for Kusakabe, according to this... Hatori, he has already been cremated on the spot, saving me the trouble of disposing of the body."
In the end, Ieiri Shoko took a cigarette out of her pocket, put it in her mouth, held the cigarette butt between her teeth for a long time, and decided not to light it.
"Given the current situation, I think everyone needs to reassess the upcoming operational plan."
Ieiri Glass paused for a moment, then looked at Gojo Satoru, "Also, I'm sorry."
The apology was abrupt and unrelated, but Gojo understood what she was referring to and gave her a slightly relieved smile.
"It doesn't matter."
Since I've already experienced it, it's okay.
With the count of casualties now complete, the high command must renegotiate the operational plan.
Having just begun, Yuta Otsuko, who could barely get out of bed and walk, knelt before Satoru Gojo under the almost murderous glare of Kazuma Hatori, and earnestly apologized to his teacher in a dogeza posture, only to be waved away and reassured with a smile that it was alright.
"Yuta only suggested using my body for another fight after he learned about the plan [what would happen after I died], right? Besides, you yourself are also risking your life, intending to fight to the death. How could I blame you?"
Compared to Kazuma Hatori's increasingly dangerous gaze as he stared at Yuta Otsuko, Satoru Gojo's tone was gentle and relaxed, providing him with a way out in just a few words.
Etsuyuta pursed his lips tightly, his expression one of wanting to cry but holding it back.
The atmosphere in the room froze for a moment, before being broken by Lu Ziyun, who was focused solely on fighting, speaking without any restraint.
"So we're going back to the original plan of everyone participating? Great, I want to be first."
Hiromi Hitsugaya also raised his hand: "I'm second. As long as we can find absolute evidence to sentence Ryoumen Sukuna to death, my Executioner's Sword is confident that I can kill him with one blow. Moreover, according to our previous discussion, the judge can distinguish and identify the multiple souls in the victim's body, so he won't harm Fushiguro Megumi."
Upon hearing the second half of the sentence, Kazuma Hatake's emotions became unstable again, and tiny sparks flew around him. "You're all racking your brains to save Fushiguro Megumi, who's already been possessed, but you haven't considered that Mr. Gojo's life is just as precious?"
Yuta Otsukoshi lowered his head: "I'm sorry..."
"I'm fine now, and I'll be fine in the future, don't worry."
When Gojo Satoru saw that his child was getting angry for him again, he quickly patted his head to coax him and also stopped the queue.
"This is a battle that Ryoumen Sukuna and I agreed to fight. How can you guys line up first?"
"Tch, they clearly promised back then that I could fight Ryoumen Sukuna as soon as I woke up..."
Upon hearing that she still wouldn't have a chance to play, Lu Ziyun clicked her tongue loudly in dissatisfaction, but didn't offer any further protests.
He had already witnessed the indiscriminate madness of Kazuma Hato when he was enraged by Gojo Satoru, killing everyone indiscriminately. To be honest, he quite admired it. Besides, if Ryomen Sukuna really died at Gojo Satoru's hands, it would mean that Gojo Satoru was stronger than Ryomen Sukuna, and he could fight Gojo Satoru again then.
"If we absolutely have to talk about any kind of combat..."
Just as Gojo Satoru was about to speak after a moment of thought, he was interrupted by Hato Kazuma pulling his hand, so she turned her attention to him first, "What's wrong, Kazuma?"
“I remember that there might be a magical link between Yuujin Itadori and Sukuna Ryoumen, allowing him to obtain combat intelligence that could not be revealed otherwise.”
Kazuma Hato, who holds grudges but also has a good memory, finished explaining to Mr. Gojo before gesturing to Hisahito Itadori to come closer, saying, "Stand within two meters of me, and I can block your spell link."
"Yay!"
Yuji Itadori's eyes lit up, and he happily went over, completely unconcerned that Kazuma Hatori would attack him.
"If we're talking about combat, I don't think Lu Suo would sit idly by and wait for us to send someone to launch a surprise attack."
After Kazuma nodded to indicate that there was no problem, Gojo Satoru continued, "Based on my understanding of [Spirit Manipulation Technique], he can definitely use some method to monitor our actions by manipulating spirits."
The concepts of curse power, curse spirits, and curse magic were easy for Kazuma Hatori to understand, having heard Gojo Satoru explain them before.
"And there's that so-called 'Death-Ending Swimming' rule, Article 14 states that [the Death-Ending Swimming ends when all swimmers except for Xia Youjie and Fukuro Megumi die]..."
In terms of combat experience and mental agility, everyone present combined couldn't compare to Gojo Satoru. "Rōsō hasn't yet controlled Tengen and assimilated the Japanese, which means Tengen must still be in his hands."
"The assimilation ritual requires the use of the barrier of the Death Return, so I boldly guess that [killing the swimmer and stopping the Death Return] is the binding condition, the purpose of which is to enable Tianyuan to successfully assimilate with the rest of humanity later."
Yuujin Itadori exclaimed, "Ah! That's right! I remember Tengen-sama said that the ritual [to relocate humans to the other side] will be completed in about two months!"
If you calculate the time, from November 1st to the final battle between Gojo-sensei and Ryomen Sukuna on December 24th, it's exactly two months.
"They have big ambitions to kill all the other swimmers except them."
Gojo Satoru chuckled, "Even if we add rule number 14 now, Ryosaku will definitely change it back, so there's no need. We can kill Ryosaku first and then use the points we stole from him to change it again in time."
The operational strategy meeting, spearheaded by Gojo Satoru, took place in this small medical room—and no one objected.
"learn,"
Yuta Otsu, who was in charge of delivering the fatal blow to Ryosaku, immediately nodded, "I will do my best."
“Then there’s Ryomen Sukuna. Higurashi’s [Executioner’s Sword] is indeed useful, but it’s really difficult for you to fight Ryomen Sukuna on the battlefield yourself,” Gojo Satoru said, crossing his legs and resting his chin on his hand as he pondered seriously. “Can someone else use your [Executioner’s Sword]?”
“Ah, there shouldn’t be any problem.” Hiromi Higurashi nodded. “What Mr. Gojo means is…”
"Well, let's just consider it a secret weapon prepared for me later. Although I don't know the effect of Ryoumen Sukuna's domain expansion, I am confident that I can use [Boundless Void] to fight against him. You can break in when the barrier is covered, and when the domain clash ends, pull him into your domain for judgment."
Gojo Satoru's thinking was very clear: based on the existing known information, he thought about how to maximize the chances of winning. "After obtaining the [Executioner's Sword], give it to me immediately and leave. Don't linger for even a second longer."
Unlike Hisahito's situation, Ryomen Sukuna can now not only use his own techniques, but also borrow Megumi's [Ten Shadow Techniques], plus the fingers he ate... it will become very troublesome.
Even if ordinary mages are unlikely to be able to keep up with the pace of their battles, Gojo Satoru doesn't mind trying to increase his chances of winning.
"I see."
Hiromi Nichisha had no objections, but the person standing at the farthest point silently raised his hand, as if he had something to say.
"Okay, this student, please speak—"
Gojo made a friendly little joke and raised his hand to invite Zhang Xiang to speak.
“Well, I don’t think you can achieve this cooperation,” Zhang Xiang said hesitantly. “Judging from Yuujin and Inu-maki’s descriptions, I think Ryoumen Sukuna does not close the barrier when deploying the domain.”
Gojo Satoru paused for a moment, then said in surprise, "Is this confirmed information? The ability to deploy a domain without a closed barrier is quite incredible and rare, which means my battle strategy will be completely different."
Zhang Xiang: "Hmm, Kamo Noriyuki... Ryosaku can do that too, I've seen it with my own eyes."
"Ancient sorcerers..."
Gojo Satoru sighed and smiled encouragingly at him, "Very useful information, thank you so much!"
“It’s nothing,” Zhang Xiang shook his head slightly. “Youren has been feeling guilty about what happened to you… As his older brother, I also want to help him and make him feel better as soon as possible.”
"...!!"
Hisahito Itadori looked at him in surprise, not expecting that Hisahito had been worried about his emotional state the whole time. "Thank you..."
"Then, how about I call out 'O-nii-chan' (older brother/older brother)?"
“…this…this…”
"Haha." Amused by the scene, Gojo Satoru laughed twice before saying to Hiromi Hirashiro, "The plan just now may not be scrapped, because I can't predict what the result of a closed domain fighting an open domain will be. I may need to consider the possibility that my domain shell will also be attacked... Hmm, we'll see what happens when I signal the action."
"Okay." Hiroshi Nichisha said, seeing that there were no objections.
"So, next, Kinji..."
The revised plan was not perfect, but at least it was aimed at helping Gojo Satoru win.
As everyone left the medical room in twos and threes, Yuta Otsuko was about to lie back down to continue his rest when he was suddenly stopped by Kazuma Hatori.
"Wait a moment."
Yuta Otsukoshi was so startled that his shoulders trembled slightly before he turned to look at Kazuma Hatori. "W-what's wrong, Hatori... uh, classmate?"
He was a little unsure how to address the other person, but considering they were about the same age, he used the one that was least likely to go wrong.
"The battle plan we just discussed was only designed for the victory in this battle. The essence of the problem has not been resolved, and the burden on Mr. Gojo's shoulders will continue to be there."
As Gojo Satoru's expression grew increasingly surprised, Hatori Kazuma, who had been deep in thought, slowly spoke.
"It wasn't appropriate to say this in front of everyone. But I have an idea, and I wonder if you would be willing to let it happen."
An idea that could completely change the world.
…………
December 24, Shinjuku.
Having taken a direct hit from the [茈], Ryoumen Sukuna was blasted into the ruins and stood up with one arm severed. His body was covered in blood and dust, and he looked extremely disheveled.
He was at a disadvantage in the first confrontation and had to reveal his trump card prematurely—but the enemy had taken over the battle rhythm he had planned, making it extremely difficult to regain the initiative.
Especially when both sides possess the most outstanding minds and techniques.
Even though in the subsequent battles within the domain, Ryomen Sukuna was able to discern the [Xing] that Gojo Satoru was emanating from his body, his opponent also changed his strategy. Instead of using [Cang] to escape the range, he used the method of modifying the domain conditions to restrain him.
Even when he used Chimera Beast and Demon Void to deal with it, Gojo Satoru, who was more flexible in his battlefield adaptability, defeated him in succession with [He] and [Zi]!
If this continues, Ryoumen Sukuna cannot guarantee that he will not be defeated.
Since that's the case... then let's establish [binding], expand the scope of [release] techniques, and let it extend outwards, severing it along with space and the world.
Ryoumen Sukuna raised his hand, and the invisible slash instantly erupted, aimed at Gojo Satoru, determined to cut him completely in two—
Crack.
A crisp but soft sound came from Gojo Satoru.
He himself is safe and sound.
"you……"
Ryomen Sukuna didn't understand, and even his expression showed extreme disbelief, "How could he withstand a strike that could sever the world?"
Impossible! Logically speaking, Gojo Satoru's [No Limits] should be absolutely unable to defend against this slash!
Compared to his shock, Gojo Satoru paused for a moment before letting out a loud, clearly sarcastic laugh at Ryoumen Sukuna.
"You're not my student, so why would I be here to enlighten you?" He made a face at the King of Curses. "Oh dear, do you think you're the only one with unconventional methods? —"
Gojo Satoru never hesitates to use any opportunity to defy the enemy and demoralize them.
However, if Ryoumen Sukuna could unleash a second such strike, he couldn't just stand there and stall for time—he had to finish the fight quickly.
Because he could only use the attack that blocked two Sukuna techniques just now.
The cell phone that Gojo Satoru raised, which could be used even in the prison gates, had already withstood the slash just now and split in two.
Essentially, it is no longer an ordinary mobile phone, but rather, without even Hagoromo Kazuma's knowledge, it has been influenced by his magic and transformed into a "game" that connects to his space.
Perhaps at some point in the past, he actually missed his chance to meet Ichima, who was still a young child.
But the result is as we see it – that phone can also be seen as a link between “space” or “world”. With the blessing of the second spell, it has been made into a cursed tool that can actively become the target of the enemy and suffer a fatal attack.
I initially thought Ichijin was being a bit too tense, but it turned out that I was actually saved because of it.
Gojo Satoru sighed inwardly, then glanced at the expressions on the two Sukuna's faces, and a smug and arrogant smile appeared on his lips.
Look at Ryomen Sukuna, he must be extremely confused now, right? Haha, he's not the only one who knows how to use off-field assistance and cunning tricks.
“Stand there and wait, both sides of Su Nuo.”
Gojo Satoru's azure eyes fixed intently on him, as he issued a fierce declaration of his determination to kill.
"I'm going to kill you right now."
…………
While leisurely hunting swimmers within the barrier of Lake Tamasho in Iwate Prefecture, Ryosaku was remotely watching the battle between Ryomen Sukuna and Gojo Satoru using a gadget he made himself.
"Hmm? He actually pretended to engage in a domain battle, but actually used the long-distance teleportation [Azure] to leave the area of Sukuna's unsealed barrier? In this way, he only needs to wait for Sukuna's domain to end before opening his own domain. Sukuna will then fall into the aftereffects of the spell melting away, leaving him at his mercy... A very clever idea. Who leaked Sukuna's domain information to him?"
Lu Su watched with great interest, "Oh, Su Nuo's reaction was also quite good. She even managed to transfer [Boundless Void] to Fukuro Megumi's soul within her body to withstand this attack."
What a spectacular battle! Compared to his side, which was simply hunting these swimmers.
Naturally, he would also be wary of surprise attacks from people sent by Gao Zhuanfang, especially the special-grade mage Otsuku Yuta who possessed the Imitation Technique, who would be extremely troublesome to deal with...
As Lu Suo was thinking this, he saw a man wearing a strange half-uniform running towards him, shouting some strange slogan.
"…………"
Seriously? The assassins sent to deal with him are just these makeshift guys?
But the total amount of magical power of the sorcerers in Shinjuku has not changed. Where did he come from...? Did he come here in advance?
Having lived for over a thousand years, Lu Suo underestimated Gao Yu Shi Yan, but the latter gave him a harsh lesson on what it means to be "invincible as a comedic character," forcing him to join in a series of materialized comedic scenes and win by using the opponent's strength against them.
But just as he was about to kill Takaha Fumihiko, Otsukoshi Yuuta had already hidden behind him and launched a surprise attack with his sword drawn—
One strike and his head was severed!
"So, this was the plan from the very beginning..."
The severed head rolled onto the grass, muttering to itself, "I was so engrossed that I didn't even notice the change in the total amount of magical power..."
“Even without Mr. Takaha, you cannot deduce my whereabouts by the total amount of curse power,” Yuta Otsukotsu walked towards him, “because someone is in Shinjuku in my place.”
“Master Gojo has accurately predicted that you will monitor us based on the total amount of curse power. And his [Six Eyes] can also accurately calculate how to achieve balance after losing me and Takaha.”
For example, Kazuma Hagoromo, who was completely unaware of the existence of the rope.
"Impossible, there are sorcerers with more cursed power than you...?"
Lu Suo opened his eyes wide in surprise, but Yi Gu You Tai had no intention of continuing the conversation with him.
As he swung his sword, ready to deliver a fatal blow to Lu Suo, the latter naturally summoned the cursed spirit containing the [Tian Yuan] curse embryo without hesitation, attempting to relinquish the activation right of the Super Repeated Assimilation while dodging the attack—
"Urika!"
Instead of continuing the pursuit, Otsuku Yuta summoned Rika and, before the cursed spirit, which was under the control of [Curse Spirit Manipulation Technique], could go berserk, devoured Xia Youjie's headless remains in one bite.
Lu Suo stared in astonishment at the scene, not yet understanding why he had done it—but soon, he could no longer laugh.
He could feel his control over [Tianyuan] rapidly disappearing!
"—Imitation spell!"
Damn it, this kid actually achieved the imitation by devouring parts of a sorcerer's body!
Because of the special nature of [Tengen], controlling [Tengen] does not require consuming the Cursed Spirit Orb. Yigu Youtai only needs to activate [Cursed Spirit Manipulation Technique] to seize control from him—he, having lost his body and weakened by his cursed power, naturally had the upper hand!
"To think we'd lose because of this..."
When Rōsō guessed the answer, Yūta had already completely possessed [Tengen].
He used [Spirit Manipulation Technique] to control the spirit that was giving birth to [Heavenly Origin], bringing Lu Suo's head in front of him and killing it with a single strike, giving the opponent no chance to utter a single word and turn the tables.
Immediately following, according to the rules of the Death Return, Etoku Yuta now possessed all of Rokuso's points.
“Little Golden Insect, add a general rule,” Egoku Yuta said. “When a swimmer who has died and returned leaves the barrier, they are considered to have lost their qualification and are regarded as dead.”
"Approved!" His little golden beetle popped out, ": When a swimmer who has died and returned leaves the barrier, he/she is deemed to have lost his/her qualification and is considered dead!"
Since the Lu Suo had already added the rule "[New swimmers will be prohibited from participating in the Death Swimming Tour starting November 18th]" to its 13th rule, the number of swimmers is currently constant.
Gojo Satoru, who is currently fighting Ryomen Sukuna, only emerged from the prison gate on November 19th and will not become a swimmer, so he is not included in the objectives that need to be achieved.
Apart from the ongoing Shinjuku battle, the high school has dispatched all available assistant supervisors and non-participating sorcerers to begin sweeping through all barriers in advance, with only one goal—either to make the swimmers leave the barrier and achieve "death," or to make them actually die inside the barrier.
In any case, according to the previously added rule number 12 [the barrier becomes freely accessible], swimmers can now leave the barrier at will.
If anyone still doesn't want to leave, Kazuma Hatori will kindly help them by cremating them on the spot.
In this way, they can meet the conditions for ending the cycle of death and destruction, and the [binding] can be established.
“Little Golden Insect, add the general rules.” Yuta Otsuku spoke again, “The right to initiate the super-repeated assimilation between Tengen and humans belongs to Maki Zenin.”
"Approved!" Little Gold Insect announced, ": The right to initiate the super-repeated assimilation of Tengen and humans belongs to Zenin Maki!"
The time that Gao Yu helped buy was just right. Not long after Yi Gu You Tai added this rule, the little golden beetle started to freeze, and its voice became unstable.
"According to General Rule 14, the Death and Annihilation Cycle is about to end—the Death and Annihilation Cycle is about to end—!"
As Yigu Yuta watched the little golden beetle begin its countdown, he breathed a sigh of relief.
So far, everything has gone smoothly.
"Maki-san, I'll leave the rest to you."
His gaze fell upon a thick tree with many growth rings, from which Zenin Maki, covered in severe burn scars, slowly emerged, her face expressionless.
"...Are you sure you want to just hand it over to me like this? Just because I agreed doesn't mean I'll actually do it," she said. "Especially after he burned me to the point of near death."
She is an extremely rare person with zero curse power [Heaven and Curse], and in the eyes of the barrier, she is no different from a building, nor can she be detected by curse spirits or sorcerers.
"I believe you, Maki-san."
Yi Guyou smiled, and the [Tianyuan] cursed embryo was already in his palm.
“From the very beginning, our thinking went into a dead end, as if we couldn’t do anything except use Mr. Gojo, to the point that even using his body became a noble act of justice…”
"But some people criticized us, saying that such a plan was nothing but an ungrateful dead end."
"Moreover, he put forward even more... even bolder, crazier, yet feasible brilliant ideas."
Do you want to see that kind of future?
"I probably won't live to see that kind of future."
After a moment of silence, Zenin Maki's lips twitched, revealing a faint smile—meaning she agreed to let Otsukoku Yuuta take action.
Within five minutes of the [Spirit Manipulation Technique] that Yuta Ekiku imitated not ending, in addition to the terminated Death Return, he added his own curse power as a more powerful [Binding Curse], forcing [Tengen] to be swallowed by Zenin Maki.
Following this, using Zenin Maki's body as a model, there was a super-repeated assimilation with all of humanity in Japan—
"here we go."
Gojo Satoru, far away in Shinjuku, also sensed the unusual movement in the air.
After a long and arduous battle with the two-faced Sukuna, he rightfully won the final victory—although he was completely exhausted and simply sat down on a pile of rocks, not caring about his appearance at all.
Winning is already the ultimate way to show off; who needs any other image?
"Hey, Kazuma!"
Kazuma Hatake, who was helping to clean up the swimmers, rushed over from the nearest barrier. He was relieved to see that Satoru Gojo still had the energy to greet him.
"Mr. Gojo..."
“Yeah,” Gojo Satoru replied with a smile, taking the broken phone from his pocket. “I really appreciate your mobile version of the amulet. It’s very useful. Thanks to it.”
Seeing that his child was not happy at all, but instead showed a particularly frightened expression, he had no choice but to change the subject. His blue eyes blinked slightly as he gazed in the direction of Iwate Prefecture.
"Your vision is being realized by Yuta and Maki."
Gojo Satoru said, "If it really succeeds, the [Heaven and Curse] assimilated into ordinary people will prevent them from ever generating cursed spirits again. Japan will finally break free from the cycle of curses and end its inevitable tragic ending ahead of time."
"Sorcerers can use their spell power to refuse assimilation in order to preserve their strength. Even if sporadic cursed spirits still emerge overseas, curse masters will still be active on this land, and the situation will be much better than before."
Gojo Satoru withdrew his gaze and returned it to Hato Kazuma's dark eyes.
"Most importantly,"
At this moment, his smile was gentler and more relaxed than ever before.
“You have completely stripped me of my responsibilities as a [monster], Ichijin.”
“…”
Kazuma Hatori stepped forward, knelt down in front of Satoru Gojo, and gently touched his forehead to his.
"You are not allowed to call yourself a monster."
He protested in a sullen and extremely unhappy voice, which was met with a light and cheerful chuckle from Gojo Satoru.
“Okay,” Gojo Satoru readily agreed. “Well, I should start thinking about what I can do during my long vacation ahead.”
"What do you think about going fishing?"
"Or how about opening a music and video store? I really enjoy watching movies."
"Opening a dessert shop wouldn't be bad..."
————————
That's it then, once again ending with perfect attendance in the serialization!
Everything I wanted to write when I was conceiving this story has now been presented.
Perhaps it is not perfect, and it has been the subject of much controversy and dissatisfaction during its serialization, which has also affected my mindset many times... But at least, when I sat in front of the computer on September 2nd and carefully typed every word of this article, I never regretted it.
Writing an article for Wu was one of my goals when I signed with Jinjiang Literature City, and now I've finally achieved it! [pity]
I've decided to write the remaining side stories gradually in the bonus side stories section (there are still many unfinished stories to tell, wiping sweat, but I'll make sure to do them all!), but I can only update them after the settlement period, so see you in about a week~
Let me tell you about my plans for the future:
