Chapter 149

『C.AD: Recovery completed.』

In the summer of 2017, Megumi Fushiguro and El-Melloi II took on the task of recovering the special cursed item, Ryomen Sukuna's Finger, and found traces of the cursed item at Sugisawa Third High School in Miyagi Prefecture. However, the cursed item that was supposed to be in the louvered box had disappeared, leaving only the dark remnants that represented where the cursed item once existed.

"You went for a walk?"

When Megumi Fushiguro called the high school for help, the person on the other end of the line was the unruly Gojo Satoru - but after confirming the situation, Gojo Satoru seriously gave him a practical suggestion.

"It's really gone... Ask the Chaldean student next to you - if he's not in a hurry, it means Chaldea has already dealt with the problem here, and you just need to follow him." Gojo Satoru paused slightly and added in a subtle tone, "Don't ask more questions. After all, you are also students of Chaldea this year."

Megumi Fushiguro slowly turned his head and saw the unchanging face of El-Melloi II - he did not show any other emotions because of the disappearance of the cursed object.

"Master Lord El-Melloi II?"

"Have the senior management of the Directors' Council required that the cursed items must be recycled?"

El-Melloi II took the phone from Megumi Fushiguro's hand and asked Gojo Satoru who was standing on the other side.

"You should know what those rotten oranges look like."

Gojo Satoru replied to El-Melloi II.

"Then let me ask you." El-Melloi II closed his eyes and, according to the action plan arranged in the previous meeting, revealed to Gojo Satoru something that was impossible in the common sense of sorcerers, "The twenty fingers left by Ryomen Sukuna can only be sealed, not destroyed - then, what if I say that these twenty fingers will completely disappear tonight?"

"Let's go back and take a look at Jiku."

Deep in a forest, beside a huge lake, several blurry black figures were outlining completely different magic circles on the ground. They were all Grand Caster qualification holders who had transferred into this world ahead of time because of the growing demand for teachers in Chaldea.

"I didn't know the plan you wrote was so crazy." Asaya Doman, who had been wandering outside, met his colleagues for the first time in this world today. He turned his head to look at Abe Haruaki who was in charge of the central magic circle, "It has always been the case that only gods have become demons, or that divinity and demons have coexisted from the beginning... Today we are actually going to add divinity to pure demons--"

"After all, Ryoumen Sukuna can be established as a god..." Abe Haruaki patted his sleeves, looked at the special cursed object placed in the center of the magic circle as a holy relic, stepped back a few steps and left the magic circle, "Plus, Ryoumen Sukuna in this world also has the development of resurrection..."

"Incarnation, body - the third magic is established." Lancer Mello turned around to look at the location of Abe Haruaki and Asuka Michiman, while explaining the difficulties in the plan to Roman beside him, "The demon god Ryomen Sukuna in the Throne of Heroes has both demonic and divine qualities. We will use Servant Summoning to add the divine aspect to the King of Curses Ryomen Sukuna - but the difficulty is..."

"How can I gather the power of the remaining 19 fingers into this place?"

Chaldea did not actively search for Ryomen Sukuna's fingers because they knew that if they wanted to collect all the fingers, it would inevitably attract the attention of the high-level officials in the world of spells and the noose - so their research direction became how to use one finger as an anchor to take away all the curses on the other fingers.

Now, it's time to verify their research results.

"Declare."

Your body is under my command, and my fate depends on your sword.

If you wish to follow the call of the Holy Grail, obey this intention, and act in accordance with this principle, then you should respond.

I swear hereby.

I am the one who has accomplished all the good deeds in the world.

I am the one who spreads all the evil in the world.

You are the seven heavens entangled by the three great spirits of speech,

Coming from the Wheel of Restraint, the Guardian of Libra—! 』

"Using Ryoumen Sukuna as Ryoumen Sukuna's body - this is really her style."

Roman learned the complete plan from Tai Gongwang. Even though the plan was only passed on by word of mouth among the Grand Casters, he still guessed who the real planner was at the first moment.

"Although everyone has to go, not everyone will have anything to do." Tai Gong Wang laughed heartily, "For example, I was not assigned to do anything."

Under the moonlight tonight, the spells to summon servants ended at the same time - the center of the summoning circle with the finger as the relic surged with dark foam, engulfing the relic; and in the summoning circle on the other side, the figure of a shrine maiden with a huge samurai doll emerged in the fluorescent light.

When the black foam finally condensed into a humanoid figure with four hands, the last magic circle that had not yet been activated finally lit up, and all the spells on the 19 fingers scattered around were introduced into the body of Ryomen Sukuna, who was incarnated in the world with the Berserker class as a vessel.

At the same time, golden chains sprang out from the depths of the forest and bound Ryomen Sukuna - and even became tighter and tighter as Ryomen Sukuna struggled.

"There must be a way to control this kind of catastrophic action - otherwise, why do you think your student is endowed with divinity, Gil?" The green-haired clay figure smiled and appeared behind Gilgamesh, watching the chains of the God of Law tightly restrain the King of Curses who had obtained the divinity of the same ghosts and gods from other worlds. "Among the existences of demonic nature, there is no existence of divinity as obvious as mine."

"Come on, come on, enjoy Izumo Akuni's once-in-a-lifetime Kabuki dance!" Izumo Akuni smiled and drew out his large sword, pointing the tip of the sword in the direction of Ryoumen Sukuna. The huge mechanical warrior behind him also roared, "Use my 18th division to make a Grand Finale! A gorgeous ultimate kill--"

Although Ryomen Sukuna died thousands of years ago, Izumo Okuni, who lived in the Azuchi-Momoyama period, was about to put the tip of her sword against the curse. She remembered that in the distant past, before she began to travel around the countries, a witch friend broke the seal, and the evil god who gained freedom destroyed the village where she grew up overnight.

The smell of Ryomen Sukuna, or something else - was exactly the same as the evil god who destroyed the village in Chuguo Ayun's memory.

"Okuni Juuhachiban Izumoaragami Kabuki" Chapter 18·Okuni Juuhachiban Izumoaragami Kabuki! 』

The huge and magnificent stage began to dissipate, and Ryomen Sukuna, who was supposed to be in the center of the stage, turned into ashes and drifted away with the wind as his treasure ended. Abe Haruaki and Taiko Nozomi, who had been fortune-telling, also came to the conclusion at the same time and found the trace of the noose. At the same time, all the fingers of Ryomen Sukuna in various places in Japan turned into dust and disappeared.

"'Try to save more people and die surrounded by people'?" Inside the funeral home, El-Melloi II lit up the cigarette in his hand and smiled with his back to the two boys. "Then I recommend you to leave your current school and go to Tokyo Metropolitan Jutsu High School. With your physical strength, Mr. Fushiguro should have someone to take over."

During the time when El-Melloi II was taking the two students back to the high school, the Grand Casters followed the results of the occupation and directly pursued the noose's hiding place - while Kirshtalia, who stayed behind in the high school, took Olgamari and Fujimaru Ritsuka to block the high school teachers outside the door, refusing to answer the truth about the sudden and spontaneous destruction of the special cursed object.

"I have something I'd like to ask you two to do." While tracking, Lansermello suddenly gave a task to Asaya Michiman and Abe Haruaki, "There is a cursed spirit that was born from the hatred and fear that humans have for themselves. I think this job can only be left to you."

"...I see. This is something that humans must overcome." Abe Haruaki closed his eyes, dragged Asaya Michimitsu with him and left the team. "We must not fail this time. The world should be handed over to the people who are alive now, not the dead, or the survivors who were left behind thousands of years ago."

"Do I need you to tell me that?"

"Is it here?"

They stopped in front of a narrow door - the members who were skilled in barrier techniques had set up a barrier to prevent the noose from escaping before they approached; for safety, after destroying Ryomen Sukuna, Merlin had already begun to travel through people's dreams, looking for the noose's dream and trapping it in the dream.

The noose, which no longer has Kagome's body, is temporarily tucked into the body of an ordinary human being - only the seams on the forehead reveal the identity of the noose.

Fortunately for the members who participated in this operation, in addition to the noose, there was another curser who had also lived for a long time in this room.

Ryomen Sukuna's chef - Ume.

"The art of law captures the world's principles and everything returns to its original state—"

The last magician of the era imitated the treasure of the witch of betrayal from the Age of Gods and stabbed the lightning-like dagger into Noose's brain.

"Rule Breaker."

The performance of this dagger as a weapon is almost zero. The only thing worth mentioning is its concept as a magic treasure - this is the treasure held in Chaldea's hand, which is equivalent to the Amensai Hoko that pierced Gojo Satoru's throat in the past, and can cancel all magic in the world.

Of course, in this world, it can also stop the operation of spells - only the brain can still be considered a living noose, and after all the spells were forced to stop operating, it soon ushered in its own death. The noose's life of a thousand years finally came to an end at this moment.

"What about Rimei?" Roman watched the dagger disappear in Lancelmero's hand and asked her how to deal with this curser who was not included in their plan.

"Let him connect with the source - I mean, only the ignorant can get close to the source."

The curse of the Paradise Fairy falls on the white-haired little sister-haired curser - after Rime wakes up, he will lose the ability to judge and perceive things, and be forced to receive all the information from the birth to the destruction of this world. However, as for whether Rime will eventually be blocked by the "existence" in the root, or become an existence like Xuanwu Kagetsu, that is not something they care about.

——Because what they care about is just completing the commission of the world consciousness and allowing this world to move towards a happy and perfect ending.

"…Our mission is complete. It's time for us to go back."
