Looking at the smiling and joking Gojo Satoru, Jogo's face stiffened slightly.
His molten features twitched.
For a brief moment—
He looked strangely… speechless.
As if the absurd attitude of the man before him had slowly begun to infect his own thoughts.
No killing intent.
Nothing....
Just that casual, playful smile.
It made the situation feel strangely unreal.
"…Tch."
Jogo narrowed his single eye.
Since there was no killing intent coming from Gojo…
Then perhaps—
If he understood more…He might find an opening.
Thinking this, Jogo slowly stepped forward.
Carefully.
Wariness remained in his movements even after seeing his expression.
When he finally reached striking distance—
He stretched out his left hand, aiming directly for Gojo's casually extended fingers.
Gojo's five fingers swayed slowly, lazily in the air.
Almost teasing, tempting him to reach out...
"Come on…" Gojo grinned. "Try touching me."
Jogo didn't respond.
He moved closer. Closer.
Only a few centimeters remained—
Then—
His eye widened violently.
STOPPED!
His hand froze midair before being able to touch him!
As if something invisible blocked him.
No matter how much force he used—His arm refused to budge any further.
Not even a millimeter.
His hand muscles tightened as his cursed energy surged through his hand.
Still—
Nothing!
"Blocked?!" Jogo exclaimed, his voice filled with disbelief.
Gojo tilted his head slightly.
Still smiling.
"No, no…" He waved his finger lightly. "It's not 'blocked.' "
He leaned forward slightly.
Voice calm.
Playful.
Educational—like explaining something to a student.
"This is Infinity!"
Jogo's eye twitched.
Gojo continued, without minding his expression.
"The closer you get to me…" He gestured slowly. "The greater the resistance becomes."
His tone remained relaxed.
Almost amused.
"Between you and me…"
He tapped the air between them with his other finger.
"Exists an infinite space."
Jogo gritted his teeth, pushing his hand with more strength which does nothing more than prove his point.
Gojo's smile widened slightly.
He leaned forward.
"Of course…"
Suddenly—His right hand shot forward, grabbing Jogo's hand effortlessly before he could even react.
No resistance.
No barrier.
Their fingers interlocked.
"If I wich to touch you…"
Gojo whispered playfully.
"Then I can touch you, this is my [Limitless],"
Jogo's eye trembled violently.
Before he could even cursed out loud—
BOOM—!!
Gojo's left fist slammed directly into Jogo's abdomen.
The impact echoed like thunder.
As Jogo's body lifted into the air instantly.
His cheeks puffed outward—Purple blood burst from his mouth.
Yet—
He couldn't escape.
His left hand was still trapped in Gojo's grip.
Purple blood splattered toward Gojo—But stopped midair.
Frozen in the air. [Limitless] blocked it automatically before it could even reach him.
"Well, well, well…"
Gojo muttered cheerfully.
"We're just getting started."
Without pause—His fists began moving.
BOOM!
BAM!
THUD!
Punch after punch landed violently on the helpless cursed spirit.
Chest.
Stomach.
Ribs.
Jaw.
Each strike precise.
Each hit devastating.
Jogo's body trembled violently under the assault.
Inside—
He was stunned. Completely stupidifide.
Isn't this cheating?!
He screamed internally.
At first Gojo asked him to tell him his technique— to understand and now before he could even began to make sense of it. He attacked without warning?!
Who does that!!!
'I was careless…Too careless…'
Jogo said to himself inwardly in regret...
Gojo finally released his grip.
Spinning his body lightly—
WHAM—!!
His long leg lashed outward.
As a powerful kick slammed into Jogo's torso.
Jogo's body flew backward violently.
"UGH—!!"
Crashing through broken debris. Rolling across shattered pavement.
Gojo lowered his foot calmly. Then raised one finger slowly.
"Infinity…"
He said quietly. His index finger lifted into the air. The explanation was not complete.
"Exists everywhere."
His voice echoed calmly across the battlefield.
"My technique…Just turns that reality into something usable."
He placed his left hand behind his back.
Then raised his right hand forward.
Whooooshh!
A faint scarlet light started to appeared before his hand.
Spinning.
Condensing.
As it began gathering into a small sphere.
A tiny black core finally formed at the tip of his finger.
It pulsed slowly.
Dangerously.
"Shrink…"
The sphere compressed.
"Expand…"
The energy intensified.
Crimson light swirled violently around the dark core.
Gojo smiled slightly as he give the sphere a meaningful look.
"Tell me…"
His voice dropped lower.
"What do you think happens…"
He tilted his head.
"When nothingness touches something?"
As if clue the sphere turned fully red.
Radiating destructive energy.
"Aka (Red)"
Jogo's eye widened in terror as he realize the destructive force from the small red orb.
But...it was...
Too late.
BOOOOOOM—!!!
A massive crimson shockwave exploded outward.
The air shattered instantly from the force.
Buildings collapsed.
Concrete tore apart like paper, turning into dust the next second.
The battlefield trembled violently.
Jogo's body was launched across the city like a missile, it was not due to Gojo's attack hitting him. No! The force that launched him was just the shockwave that was cause by Gojo's attack.
Hot purple blood sprayed violently across the air before landing on the ground mixing with the soil.
His body tumbled endlessly in the air, the pain running through his body.
After the dust settled slightly—
A massive 100-meter-wide trench carved across the battlefield became visible!
Jogo finally stabilized himself midair.
Landing heavily on broken ground.
His body trembled.
Blood seeped from multiple wounds.
He didn't hesitate.
Not even a second.
He turned—
And ran.
"Monster…"
He muttered hoarsely.
"A real monster…"
Fear flooded his thoughts. Making any of his past arrogant look like a joke!
He couldn't touch Gojo.
Not even once.
Yet—
Gojo could strike him freely.
This isn't fighting…
This is cheating…
His only option now—Escape.
Just as Jogo was making his escape a blue distortion appeared ahead.
FLASH—!!
Gojo Satoru appeared directly in front of him without any sound.
Floating midair.
Grinning.
Excited.
"Going somewhere?"
Before Jogo could react—
WHAM—!!
Gojo kicked his head like a football.
Directly in the face!
Jogo flew backward violently.
Crashing through yet another half broken building.
Jogo staggered upright again.
Enraged.
Desperate.
He fired flames from his palm—
Using the recoil to launch himself skyward.
WHOOSH—!!
But—
FLASH—!!
Gojo appeared behind him instantly as if mocking his desperate attempt. His hand grabbed Jogo's neck without any issue.
Then, he dragged him downward violently with him.
BOOOOM—!!
They crashed into the ground below. Dust exploded into the air.
Visibility vanished completely.
.....
When the dust cleared—
They were inside a ruined exhibition hall.
Fortunately—There were no ordinary civilians present.
Only trained fighters remained.
Among them, Several familiar faces were tanding nearby with their eyes widen in shock.
They were none other than — Hayakawa Aki, Himeno, and several members of the anti-demon division!
The ground beneath them cracked deeply from the impact.
Gojo sensed their presence as he lifted his head slightly, looking at them casually.
Then—
He smiled.
"Oh?" He waved lazily. "Isn't this the little brat and young lady from the amusement park?"
He even raised his free hand to greeting them.
This undoubtedly made Jogo feel even more uncomfortable when face was having a passionate kissing section with the floor.
The humiliation burned deeper than the injuries.
"Y-You…ah..hello…" Himeno responded weakly. Still stunned from the surpise visiter.
Hayakawa Aki next to her was so shocked that he couldn't close his wide open mouth, he stammered and asked with a trembling voice.
"Gojo… Satoru…" He swallowed his saliva nervously. "What exactly are you doing?"
Gojo blinked. Then answered casually.
"Oh…Just disciplining my little brother."
""""....!!!""""
Silence fell.
Everyone's expressions twitched violently at his reply.
Brother?!
They stared at Jogo, even though he was in a very helpless and miserable situation the look and energy that he was realising was enough to confirm that his is literal monster.
Volcano-headed.
Radiating cursed flames.
And this—
Was your "little brother"?
Disciplined?!
Who disciplines someone like THIS?!
They were speechless. Completely speechless at his word.
Yet—
They also understood.
The creature beneath Gojo—was the primary enemy.
The one responsible for massive destruction.
"GET OFF ME—!!!" Jogo roared violently not willing to take this humiliation any longer. Flames erupted around his body.
Energy surged dangerously.
He was preparing to self-destruct!!!
Gojo reacted instantly, lifted his legs as he kick Jogo straight into the sky.
BOOOOOOM—!!
A massive explosion erupted midair.
Flames burst outward like a beautiful fireworks show.
Shockwaves slammed into the ground below.
Himeno and the others staggered violently.
They raised their arms, shielding themselves from the wind blast that came after the blast.
After a moment—
Silence returned.
Gojo looked upward calmly.
"That's not good…"
He muttered flatly, as his expression turned slightly thoughtful.
After the flames faded—Jogo was gone.
Disappeared.
Escaped.
Gojo's eyes narrowed slightly.
Whoosh!
With a faint flash—He vanished instantly without hesitation.
Leaving only the stunned anti-demon team behind.
"Sigh,"
Himeno exhaled slowly as she looked at the placed where Gojo was.
Still shaken.
"That was…" She muttered quietly to particularly nobody. "An unbelievable sight…"
Her voice trembled slightly at the end as she remember the disastrous power of the explosion.
Hayakawa Aki remained silent. But his gaze burned intensely as he clenched his fists tightly.
His thought unknown.
