Chapter 148

As early as six years ago, during the interference of Chaldea, Otsukotsu Yuta had already learned to use his technique - and then copied the magic ceremonial Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid belonging to the El-Melloi family on Onigashima.

In fact, Chaldea originally placed the Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid, which has fluid properties and can be deformed at will, at the first priority in the copy template of Okkotsu Yuta's ritual based on the records of Okkotsu Yuta's original growth trajectory. In Okkotsu Yuta's original life course, the cursed Kimoto Rika would transform into a cursed spirit to fight for Okkotsu Yuta.

After the cursed spirit Rika successfully removed the curse, for quite a while, Otsukotsu Yuta was no longer able to use cursed energy to create a physical existence - although he was able to use the shikigami Rika later, that body was an empty shell left behind by the cursed spirit Rika. Under the premise that the cursed spirit Rika did not appear at all, Otsukotsu Yuta was unable to create a similar existence.

"...The concept of human body replication has declined - so, instead of letting Yuta Otsutsuki copy magic such as automata, it is better to let him copy Tremawu." At the discussion meeting for the construction of Onigashima's micro-anomaly, Lancermello listed the characteristics of the Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid on the blackboard with chalk, "Yuta Otsutsuki can copy the Moon Spirit Fluid without even using the 'personality granting' operation."

"That is to say, the Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid originally created by Master Kenneth can satisfy Yuta Otsutsuka's needs." El-Melloi II flipped through the notebook in his hand and looked at the mercury maid beside Leness. "After all, the original Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid has comprehensive functions such as automatic attack, automatic search for enemies, and automatic defense."

When Gojo Satoru was sending Otsutsu Yuuta and Inumaki Satoru to exorcise low-level cursed spirits as an entrance test, what he saw next to Otsutsu Yuuta was a silver sphere formed by the aggregation of cursed energy, which was the same as the first version of the Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid. The silver sphere, which was clearly formed of liquid, automatically swung out a whip-like attack, cutting the cursed spirit in front of it in half and completely exorcising it.

"…Then I think Chaldea must have interfered with Otsukotsuki Yuta's life a long time ago." Ieiri Naoko twirled the pen in her hand, her gaze pausing very obviously on the two contemporaries, "The lives of the three of us have been interfered with by Chaldea to varying degrees - this is undeniable."

The holder of the Reversal Technique who was unable to attack and could only stay in the rear to treat the wounded and collect the bodies now learned magic, transplanted magic seals, and gained the ability to participate in the battle; the Curse Master who was originally going to be crushed by his ideals and have his faith collapsed and defected from the High School, although he still had confusion about the future, this time he realized that he was not alone and was accompanied by his peers.

The only one among the three who was not specifically interfered with by Chaldea was Gojo Satoru, but the changes that occurred in the two concurrent fate lines also indirectly affected his personal destiny - although the sunglasses that covered his six eyes were replaced with a bandage, he was still as lively as he was in his student days ten years ago.

——In Gojo Satoru's current life, he has lost nothing.

There is no such thing as a death without regret for sorcerers; instead, they will face death alone - according to their original fate, their lives are filled with constant losses, until they finally enter the door of death alone.

"...I actually think this is pretty good." Gojo Satoru turned his back to his two peers and spoke in a serious tone. "Besides, Chaldea is right about one thing - no matter how strong or weak you are, it is always rare to find someone who shares the same perspective as you."

"Even if your concept of each other can change from fellow travelers to close friends or lovers, once you lose each other, you will never have the chance to meet such a person again."

"For this reason, I'm glad that Glass and Chaldea persuaded Jay to stay." Gojo Satoru took a long step and walked out the open window in the corridor. "By the way, I should go back to see Yuta and the others. We'll talk when we have time. Bye!"

In April 2017, the first semester of the new school year began. The number of teachers in Chaldea expanded further. In addition to being responsible for teaching students, the faculty and staff of the technical high school who knew about the existence of magic were also taken advantage of by the members of Chaldea to take extra classes and begin to prepare for the completion of this mission.

"Did you catch that brain flower?"

The original body of Fujimaru Ritsuka that remained in the Chaldea headquarters inquired about the original body of Abe Haruaki.

"...As expected of a brain that started planning a thousand years ago, it can outrun a 500-year-old bug."

Abe Haruaki rubbed his forehead slightly irritably.

"If we can't contain Brainflower now, can we use Orange Journey?" Lansermello called the spirit communication and asked the two people in the control room, "But this plan requires catching Brainflower's trail at the moment when fate changes, and then marking it with an anchor - then we can use Orange Journey to chase it all the way."

"So we have to deal with Sukuna first?" Abe Haruaki raised his eyebrows and looked at the battle plan displayed on the computer in the control room. "What are you going to do with Sukuna's twenty fingers? My Noble Phantasm can't handle this problem, and this world can't bear a complete crown-level spiritual base. As for Tamamonomae, although she can handle it, that level of power is not Tamamonomae at all, but Amaterasu."

"Izumo Akuni." Lansemello gave the answer to the two people in the control room, "Her system can still be integrated to some extent and play a role. Because of regional and religious issues, those saints with purification skills are completely useless here. Besides, as a shrine maiden of Izumo Taisha, Izumo Akuni has anti-demon special attacks."

"By the way, Deputy Director." Fujimaru Ritsuka leaned on the desk of the Director's seat and asked Lancer Mello, "Next, at least within this year, we don't have to carry out the plan of intervention, right? After the world line of Christmas this year is closed, there will only be the last fate line that needs to be intervened, right?"

"Strictly speaking, we don't have to wait for the world line to end now." Lancermello sighed helplessly and spread his hands towards Fujimaru Ritsuka. "After all, the world line of Jujutsu World ended on December 24, 2017 when Geto Suguru fought with Otsutsuki Yuta, and was killed by Gojo Satoru after being defeated. Otsutsuki Yuta completed the removal of the curse on Rika Inori during the battle."

"The world will no longer be able to develop in this way - I just need to wait for Aegis Eclipse to return to my hands."

On the evening of December 24, 2017, after finishing a day of auditing the botany class "Yumina" with Naoko Ieyu, Kagome Suguru, a golden bow appeared in front of him, and when it finally fell into his hands, it turned into a silver prosthetic limb.

The moment he caught the silver prosthetic limb, Xia Youjie heard a voice that he was extremely familiar with since he entered school.

"May I ask, are you my Master?"

"Your wish is an interesting one—I hear you."

"Servant Caster, you have obeyed my summons. From now on, my sword will be with you, and your fate will be with me..."

"If you died in such a disastrous way, I would be very troubled - Master."

The voice of the deputy director of Chaldea sounded the moment Geto got the prosthesis, and when the last sentence fell, Geto saw Vivian, the lecturer of the plant department "Yumina", standing with several girls with the same face as her. The girl in a white dress with blond hair and blue eyes surrounded by them hooked her hand and took the silver prosthesis away from Geto's hand.

The closer the silver prosthetic limb got to them, the more it changed towards its original appearance. When the prosthetic limb finally returned to Lancermello and was handed over to Avalon Le Fay, the holy sword master who was the origin of all the fairies in Paradise, the prosthetic limb had already changed back to the appearance of the golden bow Aegis Eater "Excalibur".

"Katsuyuki-kun." After Vivian 'Ash' and Artoria Caster, who had come with Avalon Le Fay to support the show, left the stage with Aegis Food smoothly, Lansermello walked to the side of Kagyuki-kun and waved to Gojo Satoru who was walking from the other side of the alley. "Please introduce yourself again - I am a member of the Paradise Fairies, and Aegis Food 'Excalibur' is my soul."

"I see."

The person who answered was Gojo Satoru who had just stopped walking.

"Um... can I ask why Aegis Eater 'Excalibur' ended up in Gosho's hands in the form of a prosthetic limb?"

Ieiri Naoko looked at her two contemporaries, and finally her eyes fell on Lancermello who was wearing the Paradise Fairy dress.

"Shouldn't you have guessed it, Ieiri? The future you were supposed to face."

Lancermello put his hands behind his back and tilted his head towards Ieiri Naoko with a smile.

"...If it were the original future, Geto would have died today." Ieiri Naoko avoided Geto's gaze and her voice gradually became lighter. "And speaking of the holy sword 'Excalibur', that is the legend of King Arthur - in the lecture in the El-Melloi classroom, it was mentioned that the holy sword 'Excalibur' given to King Arthur by the goblins, the forever lost scabbard can heal all pain..."

"And the holy sword Excalibur itself will stop the wielder from aging. Even if they are seriously injured, they will not die - they just cannot heal the pain. At the same time, unless the holy sword Excalibur is returned to the fairy who gave it to them, the influence of the holy sword Excalibur on the wielder will not end - that is, they will not die."

"--That's it." Lansemero pressed down the hat on his head and smiled at the three people standing in the sunset. "Chaldea's interference in your fate began by tracing back to the past from the future--I once stayed at this node. In order to prevent a certain tragic future, I left the Aegis Food 'Excalibur' forged with my soul to Kasugano Jie."

"At that time, Suguru-kun lost an arm, so I learned the magic that Merlin once performed for the knight Bedivere - turning Aegis Food 『Excalibur』 into a prosthetic limb and forcibly connecting it to Suguru-kun himself, preventing his death. And now, I have come to take back Aegis Food 『Excalibur』."
