The world government agents and a few of the marines standing around looked at the horrifying scene before them, where Gojo had just cut one of the world government agents clean in half with a single sword strike, displaying just how monstrously powerful he truly was. Blood splattered across the ground while the two halves of the agent's body collapsed with a sickening thud. For a brief moment, fear flashed across many of their faces.
But none of them stopped.
On the contrary, taking advantage of the slight distraction Gojo showed after killing that world government agent, they immediately attacked him again without hesitation. Right now, their highest priority was the protection of Saint Jalmack. They did not care about their own lives, because if Gojo somehow managed to harm Saint Jalmack, then their lives would become a living hell afterward—far worse than death itself. And in the end, they would die anyway.
So they chose to give everything they had to protect him.
Moreover, they had long since been brainwashed. Since childhood, the thought had been instilled deep into their minds that the Celestial Dragons stood above all else, that they were gods among men who absolutely had to be protected no matter the cost. Because of that twisted belief, they continued charging toward Gojo despite the terror clawing at their hearts.
As for Gojo, he calmly stood there while one world government agent attacked him from the left side, another from the right, while one more descended from above his head with a sword aimed directly downward. The sharp sound of blades cutting through the air echoed around him.
Then suddenly—
Gojo disappeared from where he had been standing.
The attacks struck nothing but empty air.
A gust of wind swept through the battlefield as Gojo reappeared several meters away, his white hair fluttering slightly. The world government agents and marines quickly turned toward his new location the moment they lost sight of him. Their eyes widened for an instant, but without hesitation, they immediately rushed to attack him once again.
Several marines raised their guns and fired rapidly at Gojo.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Bullets shot toward him from multiple directions, tearing through the air at high speed. However, every single bullet stopped just inches away from Gojo's body, frozen in midair by the power of Limitless. The bullets spun uselessly before dropping harmlessly onto the ground one after another with metallic clinks.
Gojo remained completely unharmed, his face calm and void of any joy or sorrow.
Then Gojo blurred once more.
This time, he moved through the world government agents and marines in one swift zigzag motion, weaving around the battlefield at terrifying speed. To the others, it was as if a white flash was dancing between them. Only a white blur could be seen moving all around the battlefield while cold killing intent swept through the air.
Before anyone could even properly react—
Gojo stopped.
The battlefield suddenly became silent.
Blood slowly dripped from the edge of his black blade onto the ground.
Drip.
Drip.
The world government agents and marines who had been attacking him—around twenty in total—froze where they stood. Then, in the very next second, blood violently gushed out from thin lines across their bodies.
Some had deep slashes across their necks.
Some had their bodies cut open from the front.
Some had clean cuts directly across their heads.
Expressions of disbelief and terror remained frozen on many of their faces as their bodies trembled. Clearly, every single one of them had received fatal wounds from Gojo's attack.
One after another, their bodies collapsed heavily onto the ground.
A few died instantly.
The others only twitched helplessly for a few moments before death inevitably claimed them as well.
One of the world government agents had already picked up Saint Jalmack, and he was rapidly fleeing from the battlefield while carrying him. The agent continuously used Shave and Moonwalk in combination to move at extremely high speed through the city. Whenever his feet touched the roof of a house, he instantly used Shave to burst forward like a blur, and whenever he was airborne, he used Moonwalk to kick against the air itself and continue moving through the sky.
Using both techniques together with practiced precision, he desperately carried Saint Jalmack away from the fighting location.
The wind howled loudly around them as building after building flashed past beneath their feet.
Soon, Saint Jalmack, who had fainted after being struck by Gojo's Conqueror's Haki—which was still in its initial phase and not yet overwhelmingly powerful—slowly regained consciousness. His eyes twitched open inside the transparent bubble covering his head.
The moment he realized he was being carried in someone's arms, his expression immediately twisted with anger.
"What the hell are you doing?" Saint Jalmack shouted furiously. "How dare you touch me? How dare you move me away from where I was? Where are you taking me?!"
His voice was filled with rage and disgust, as if merely being touched by the agent was an unforgivable offense.
As soon as the world government agent heard this, cold sweat appeared on his forehead. Even while rapidly moving through the air, he hurriedly explained in a panicked tone, "Your Excellency, Gojo Satoru was trying to kill you! The other world government agents and marines are trying to stop him right now. I am taking you away from there to a safe location!"
The agent's voice carried obvious urgency. He did not dare slow down even slightly.
However, as soon as Saint Jalmack heard those words, rather than showing fear, his face immediately filled with disbelief and arrogance.
"How can a mere commoner have the guts to kill me?" Saint Jalmack said angrily. "Does he really dare to kill me? You are lying to me!"
Clearly, Saint Jalmack completely believed that nobody in the world would ever dare kill a Celestial Dragon. In his eyes, the Celestial Dragons were gods standing above all mortals. How could filthy commoners possibly dare raise their hands against them?
Because of that twisted belief, he did not believe a single word the world government agent was saying.
The agent himself felt increasingly helpless hearing Saint Jalmack's words. He wanted to explain further, but he also did not dare waste even a second slowing down. Just a little farther… we just need to get farther away from that monster…
Unfortunately for him, his hesitation and inner dilemma were completely erased in the very next moment.
Without warning—
Gojo suddenly appeared directly behind him in mid-air.
Even Gojo himself was using Moonwalk, standing effortlessly in the sky as if gravity meant nothing to him. His white hair fluttered lightly in the wind, while his cold blue eyes stared at the fleeing agent.
Before the agent could even react, Gojo's black blade pierced straight through his chest from behind.
Stab!
The blade burst out from the front of the agent's body, stained red with blood.
The world government agent's eyes widened violently. His entire body froze midair.
Then all strength left him.
Ironically, the attack completely freed him from the whirlpool of hesitation and fear he had been trapped in moments ago.
Because now—
He was dead.
As soon as the agent died, his grip on Saint Jalmack loosened completely. Both bodies immediately fell from the sky toward the ground below.
Boom!
The dead agent crashed heavily onto the street first, while Saint Jalmack rolled across the ground in a miserable manner. The transparent bubble covering his head suddenly burst apart with a loud pop upon impact, exposing his face directly to the surrounding air for the first time.
Saint Jalmack grimaced in pain as dust and debris dirtied his luxurious clothes.
"You bastard!" he cursed furiously while clutching himself. "Can't you even run properly?! How dare you fall?! I will have your legs cut off! I will have your hands cut off too—those filthy hands you used to carry me! How dare you touch me?!"
Clearly, Saint Jalmack believed the world government agent had simply been careless and fallen while carrying him. He still had not realized that the agent was already dead, killed by Gojo's sword piercing straight through his back.
