After the battle with Kenjaku last year, Chinatsu's soul was partially contaminated by his trickery.
To prevent her contaminated soul from taking over her body and causing destruction, Chinatsu made a powerful Binding Vow with herself.
From [Divine Child] to [Mortal].
From [Monster] to [Human].
When people in the Jujutsu World learned that Chinatsu was no longer the strongest, they all showed various expressions.
Some were calm and unmoved by the news, some wept in sadness for Chinatsu, some felt regret for her, and others secretly sighed in relief.
Chinatsu initially didn't care about the opinions of outsiders; she wasn't someone who pursued power.
Her previous harsh self-discipline to constantly grow stronger was merely to change those dark destinies in the near future.
But now, all of that has been rewritten.
When power becomes non-essential, perhaps letting go isn't so bad.
Chinatsu originally thought this, wanting to completely hand over the future to the new generation.
However, Chinatsu realized it wasn't truly time to let go yet.
The new generation of the Jujutsu World hadn't fully matured, and there was a shortage of personnel to connect the Jujutsu World with human society...
The grand statements end here; in reality, the most important thing was that Chinatsu missed the time she worked shoulder to shoulder with everyone.
Now, she couldn't even protect her own students.
Amidst countless blooming Black Flashes, the enlarged Mahoraga was sent flying by Chinatsu, leaving behind grooves etched into the ground by Mahoraga's feet.
Mahoraga spat out a large glob of saliva, looking disheveled while its body continued to expand little by little.
After raising its arm to wipe the drool from its mouth, the ferocious smile reappeared on its face.
This smile was imprinted in Chinatsu's eyes, and also in the eyes of another version of herself deep within her mental world.
She was bound from head to toe by shackles of Binding Vows, with Cursed Energy from the negative emotions of a hundred million people swirling around her.
Countless unfamiliar voices emerged, influencing her emotions.
"When she is gravely wounded and near death, the power of the Binding Vow on you will weaken.
Seize the opportunity to regain control of the body!"
"It serves the main body right to die; why did she limit her strength?
If she had merged with us, a mere opponent like this wouldn't even withstand one of our attacks before disintegrating."
"Now we can start planning what to do once we get out.
We need to find a reference...
Sukuna, yes, Sukuna.
What does Sukuna like again... eating people?"
"How about we release Sukuna and discuss it together?
Anyway, that guy is only at 4-finger level; he's no match for us.
Let him be an advisor... or our little brother."
Voices lingered in her ears.
In fact, during this year, she had been persuaded by Chinatsu several times, but likewise, she had also been repeatedly swayed back to her original path by these negative voices.
The negative emotions of a hundred million people.
The immense Cursed Energy of a hundred million people.
Chinatsu's soul was polluted by it, as if a terrifying Cursed Spirit was devouring it...
"A Cursed Spirit?"
The bound Chinatsu whispered softly, and simultaneously, the Chinatsu in reality, enveloped by Black Flash, also murmured.
"A Cursed Spirit?"
A glint flashed in Chinatsu's heterochromatic red and blue eyes.
Fushiguro Toji immediately noticed her abnormality.
"Did you figure out a way to deal with this big guy?"
"I can't be sure, but it's worth a try."
No sooner had Chinatsu finished speaking than the enlarged Mahoraga, holding its demon slayer sword, charged towards her.
A few seconds ago, Chinatsu would have unhesitatingly retaliated with a punch or a slash, relying on the Black Flash's boost to send this guy flying again.
But at this very moment, she made a move that shocked everyone present, causing their pupils to tremble.
The next second, blood splattered from Chinatsu's body like rain, as Mahoraga's demon slayer sword plunged directly into Chinatsu.
"What?!"
Fushiguro Toji's eyes widened in shock, unable to understand why Chinatsu was hit by Mahoraga's attack.
He knew that even though the opponent's speed had also increased to a very fast level, Mahoraga's attack trajectory, due to its low intelligence, was easy to predict.
Fushiguro Megumi and Nobara Kugisaki, behind Toji, couldn't help but shout, "Teacher!"
Although a few drops of blood seeped from the corner of Chinatsu's mouth after being struck by the demon slayer sword, the smile on her face did not fade.
"That was close; it almost hit my abdomen."
Chinatsu, with a blood-stained smile, gripped the blade of the demon slayer sword with both hands.
She didn't let the demon slayer sword be pulled out of her body; instead, she held it firmly, preventing Mahoraga from easily withdrawing it.
The demon slayer sword.
The ultimate weapon against Cursed Spirits.
Its blade was filled with an immense amount of positive Cursed Energy, which 15-finger Sukuna had personally decreed would instantly incinerate him if he were in a Cursed Spirit body and struck by it.
From a power perspective, no Cursed Spirit in the Jujutsu Kaisen world could even come close to this sword.
So, what about the one inside her?
A massive amount of positive Cursed Energy surged into Chinatsu's body, clashing with the monster inside her, just as Chinatsu had predicted.
A head-on collision between black and white.
The shackles of Binding Vows in the mental world violently shook, sharp screams echoed through every corner of the mental world, and rampant gales raged.
Crack!!!
The shackles of the Binding Vow, broken.
Mahoraga struggled to pull out its demon slayer sword to no avail.
A look of anger appeared on its ferocious face, and it clenched its other hand into a fist, swinging it fiercely at Chinatsu.
But just as Mahoraga's fist was about to strike Chinatsu's face, its fist suddenly stopped, as if blocked by an invisible barrier.
Chinatsu's hands, which had been gripping the blade of the demon slayer sword, also loosened.
White smoke from Reverse Cursed Technique immediately emanated from Chinatsu's wound, and a pair of eyes, like the azure sky extending infinitely into the distant horizon, became clearly visible within the white smoke.
Bang!!!!!!!
A loud bang suddenly erupted, and Mahoraga's massive body was once again sent flying.
However, this strike was not a Black Flash, but a very ordinary strengthened normal attack.
As the white smoke receded, Chinatsu's face, bearing an arrogant, defiant smile, was revealed.
One of her hands was clenched into a fist, with Cursed Technique Lapse: Blue wrapped around it.
Fushiguro Toji watched this scene and felt a strange sense of familiarity.
He opened his mouth and couldn't help but sigh in relief.
Although he didn't know exactly what had happened to Chinatsu, one thing was certain.
the strongest... was back!
