The two strongest in Jujutsu history stood together, face to face, their cursed energy radiating with malicious intent.
In the sky above Shibuya, the raw pressure from this casual show of power from the two had begun to crack the barrier surrounding Shibuya, as half of the sky was smothered in a bloodthirsty darkness, and the other half a radiant, limitless, calm light.
Then the two figures moved. From the outside, any sorcerer below the peak of Grade 1 would merely see them staring at one another as the area around them was destroyed in an ever-growing radius.
For 30 seconds straight, only the violent shockwaves of their repeated clashes could be seen ripping through the concrete around them like wet paper.
Then a change occurred. Their figures once still began to form afterimages all around the room as the grins on their faces grew with every passing second.
"Gotcha!" Sukuna slipped a punch and, with a fist coated in Domain Amplification, he launched Gojo through the ceiling of the underground subway, sending him crashing through multiple buildings.
Leaping after him, Sukuna looked to his right to see a massive sphere of Blue coming toward him. It connected, dragging Sukuna across the city as Gojo teleported above him, firing a Red directly at him.
'Hollow Purple!' Gojo thought as the purple exploded around Sukuna.
The smoke coming from the crater was then blown away as Sukuna stood scratching the back of his head, looking unfazed.
The faint traces of singed flesh were healing rapidly as Sukuna aimed a hand at Gojo.
CHING!
At 180°, everything in a straight line of Sukuna's hand was cut in two, Gojo remaining unharmed thanks to his Infinity.
CRASH!
The buildings crumbled, killing thousands in seconds, as Gojo looked toward the destruction for a moment before making a move again.
With his Blue-amplified speed, he rapidly circled Sukuna, every step leaving more afterimages than the last. With his finger pointed at Sukuna's temple like a gun, he released a Max Output: Red, succeeding in blowing off a chunk of Sukuna's face.
Using this close proximity to his advantage, Sukuna, uncaring for his face, grabbed Gojo with his hand coated in Domain Amplification and slammed his other three hands into Gojo's head at different angles simultaneously.
The force caused Gojo to bite off his own tongue, his skull fracturing as, with a grunt of pain, he formed a Purple to Sukuna's chest.
VRROOOMM!
Another massive explosion of Purple erupted, launching Sukuna away as the entire city block was destroyed, not even rubble remaining.
Sukuna soared through the sky; two of his arms and his leg were blown off completely, his body covered in third-degree burns as he chuckled.
In a single breath of time, his destroyed body burst back to full, all the damage rendered irrelevant as he flipped through the sky.
Righting himself midair, he crossed all four arms before violently spreading them wide. Instantly, millions of Dismantles of varying sizes shredded everything below him to dust.
Gojo stood unfazed as his Infinity stopped the slashes. The sheer volume of attacks let some minor attacks slip by—the damage Sukuna did to his head making his control a bit shaky—but paper cuts were the worst of the damage. With a pulse of his RCT, Gojo healed completely, his skull reformed and his brain damage from the impact undone.
"This guy is way too troublesome to deal with easily. He heals way too fast, I might need to kill him in a single blow..." Gojo muttered to himself, rolling his shoulders as he teleported just as Sukuna's massive figure tore through the location he was milliseconds ago, the city behind Sukuna being ground to dust by the residual Dismantles he was releasing omnidirectionally constantly.
"Imaginary Technique: Hollow Purple!" Sukuna heard the end of the chant. Hearing Gojo speak the technique had boosted it by letting him know what was coming, and as Sukuna turned, nothing but purple smothered his vision.
BOOOOOOMMMM!

"Damn, it seems Sukuna was here as well," Nanami said, cutting a transfigured human in half as he ducked an attack from another.
"Should we go and help him?" Yuji questioned, easily punching a transfigured human to paste, grabbing another by the neck before it could pounce at Nanami.
"No. We'd likely only get in the way at the moment. I doubt any of us are as powerful as those two are right now." Nanami rolled his shoulder as Yuji looked to the far distance where flashes of blue, red, and purple shined every so often, followed by heavy shockwaves and the sound of loud cutting.
"Then let's save as many as we can, Mr. Nanami!"

"Would you look at that. It's beautiful, really..." Mahito said, looking to his left at Jogo, who sat smoking his pipe.
"Tch, this world of Jujutsu is unfair even to special grades like us." Jogo scoffed, standing.
"I'm likely not gonna be able to avenge Hanami personally, so I can only hope Sukuna kills that bastard Satoru Gojo. I'll go and let off some steam with those other sorcerers. You do what you want, Mahito." Jogo then jumped from the building, going in the direction he sensed the sorcerers from.
"That guy. Always a hothead, haha. Guess I'll go have my fun too."
Mahito followed after Jogo, hoping that he could find something to entertain himself.

'The fight just started and they destroyed the barrier already. There really is a difference between geniuses and monsters, I suppose.'
Kenjaku made sure to stay close enough to the fight to make his move when required, but far enough to not get caught up in everything.
He'd seen Sukuna's rapid growth throughout the past month, and it made him realize one thing: no matter what the outcome of this battle was, he'd immediately seal the winner with the Prison Realm.
Sukuna was becoming more unpredictable by the day, and Gojo was already too strong to deal with directly.
He couldn't afford anything messing up his true plan. The Merger—the Culling Games—was merely a front to gather insane amounts of cursed energy. He was close to achieving his goal of this age, and even the disaster curses were running through the last of their usefulness.
———————————————————
BANG!
Gojo slammed a Blue-amplified punch into Sukuna's face, then doubled his efforts, raining hundreds of blows on the King of Curses, who merely smiled and returned them in kind.
Then, as Gojo slipped a punch, he jumped, kneeing Sukuna in the jaw before grabbing him with Blue and flinging him away.
Seconds later, another Cursed Technique Reversal: Red slammed into Sukuna. Yet, Sukuna pushed against the force, slowly walking against it as the Red tried to shove him.
The muscles on Sukuna's body bulged with veins as, with physical strength alone, he pushed through Red with a bit of exertion. However, Red wasn't some wall to dissipate when crushed; it immediately exploded on top of Sukuna, the burns it caused healing as Sukuna kept at Gojo.
The entire area of Shibuya was being destroyed at a rapid pace, and that was with Gojo trying to minimize the damage, mostly to avoid killing his students and allies.
"You really do refuse to die, eh?" Gojo said, appearing behind Sukuna; however, a punch didn't come this time from either side.
