"Limitless... it's been a long time."
Chinatsu, her soul reunited and restored to her peak state, looked down at her hand, which she had clenched and then unfurled. The surface of her palm was enveloped in a layer of blue Cursed Energy, like flame and light.
For Jujutsu Sorcerers like Chinatsu and Gojo Satoru, who use Limitless Defense 24 hours a day, let alone a whole year, even a few minutes without it would make them fear someone suddenly appearing behind them to stab them.
Chinatsu's subtle gaze flickered towards Fushiguro Toji beside her. Toji, met with this look, blinked in confusion, unsure of what her expression meant.
At the same time, Mahoraga, who had been sent flying by Chinatsu's punch earlier, scrambled up from the ground. The dharma wheel symbolizing [Adaptation] on its head spun once with a "CRACK!" sound.
Limitless Cursed Technique is an extremely complex Cursed Technique, one that can only barely be operated by relying on the atomic-level Cursed Energy precision provided by the Six Eyes. Moreover, the theory of the Cursed Technique itself is derived from a paradox.
Four times.
After the dharma wheel spins four times, it will be able to adapt to Chinatsu's [Limitless Defense] and [Cursed Technique Lapse: Blue].
Mahoraga's mouth dripped with saliva, and it charged at Chinatsu again like a beast released from its Binding Vow. Chinatsu, in response, squinted and refocused her gaze on it.
Before Mahoraga could even reach Chinatsu, in less than a blink of an eye, Chinatsu had already teleported in front of it, clenching her fist and striking directly.
BANG!!!
Chinatsu's fist, wreathed in Blue, struck Mahoraga's cheek. The saliva that hadn't finished dripping earlier now poured out like a flood breaking a dam, and its eyes trembled as if an earthquake had occurred.
After one punch, a second followed closely, and this time the target was still the face, but whereas the first was the right cheek, this one was the left.
The massive Mahoraga was like a toy in Chinatsu's hands, being battered around at will, with no chance to fight back. Only Mahoraga's pained roars could be heard.
Fushiguro Megumi and Nobara Kugisaki, watching this scene from a distance, were stunned. Just moments ago, the two of them combined were at a disadvantage, but now it had become a one-sided crushing defeat.
"This is Sister Chinatsu's true power..."
Fushiguro Megumi muttered softly. Nobara, after a brief moment of daze, had stars in her eyes, raising her hands and clasping them together, a complete fangirl.
Toji watched this scene with a subtle expression. This power was even stronger than he had imagined. His impression of Chinatsu's strength was still at the level when she had formed a large purple orb and pierced him more than a decade ago.
It's been over ten years.
She has indeed become stronger.
In the battlefield, Chinatsu, who was continuously pummeling Mahoraga, even showed an excited smile, because purely as a durable punching bag, Mahoraga was truly dedicated.
Because the power of the punches imbued with [Blue] was too great, both Okkotsu, who possessed a vast amount of Cursed Energy, and Kinji Hakari, who had an immortal body, had stated that they couldn't withstand such torment and had raised the white flag.
Left with no choice, in terms of hand-to-hand combat, only Chinatsu and Satoru, the sister and brother, could train together. To this day, neither of them could remember how many times they had sparred.
CRACK!
The adapting dharma wheel spun again.
But this time, Mahoraga didn't smile, because its face was once again disfigured by Chinatsu's punch.
"Although it can adapt to anything, adapting to complex Cursed Techniques takes a longer time. It needs four rotations just to adapt to my Limitless Defense and Blue."
Chinatsu calmly looked at the solemn Mahoraga in front of her. While this [Adaptation to All Things] ability was powerful, if it didn't have the protection and interference of a strong person, how could this big punching bag survive in the hands of a strong person until its adaptation was complete?
In the original work's Gojo vs. Sukuna fight, Gojo stated that if Mahoraga hadn't started adapting to the Limitless state, his full-power [Red] attack would have destroyed it.
When Sukuna first faced Mahoraga in the Shibuya battle, he also stated that if he hadn't been initially unaware of its abilities and allowed it to adapt to his slashes, a close-range, direct hit of [Dismantle] would have been enough to destroy it.
Currently, Mahoraga's dharma wheel had spun twice, two more rotations until it could successfully break through Chinatsu's Limitless Defense. Although Chinatsu was still confident she wouldn't lose even if it adapted to that extent, she decided against it.
"I'm not playing anymore. One hit to end it all."
Chinatsu calmly raised her hands and then brought them together. This familiar movement and Cursed Energy fluctuation made Toji, behind her, let out a bitter laugh.
At the same time, not far from the battlefield.
In the sky above the clouds, Geto Suguru and Yuta Okkotsu stood on Rainbow Dragon, rushing towards the battlefield. The urgency on their faces was easy to see.
"Although Sister Chinatsu has arrived, the current Sister Chinatsu might not be able to handle dangerous sudden situations. I really hope nothing happens."
Geto Suguru muttered worriedly. He held his phone, its screen showing the phonebook interface. He had intended to call Gojo Satoru but ultimately didn't press the button.
Gojo Satoru was on a business trip abroad and was currently flying back after learning of the events in Japan. He would land at Tokyo Airport, not far away, in about two more hours.
Although Gojo Satoru can teleport, the teleportation derived from Limitless is not space teleportation in the conventional sense, but rather ultra-high-speed movement that compresses the distance between two points.
Essentially, it can only move in a straight line between two points, and it's very difficult to stop forcibly during movement. With its speed and Limitless Defense, it's like an invincible dump truck, crashing through anything in its path.
Therefore, Chinatsu and Gojo Satoru generally don't use teleportation casually in daily life. They also use various modes of transportation for exorcism missions, because if they don't scout the route beforehand, crashing into large trees or buildings is one thing, but hitting people would be disastrous.
If Gojo Satoru knew now that his Older Sister was in danger, Geto Suguru could even imagine Gojo Satoru leaping directly from the plane, transforming into a cannonball and flying straight towards them... Just as Geto Suguru was fantasizing, Yuta Okkotsu, standing beside him, suddenly spoke, interrupting his thoughts.
"Geto-sensei, look!"
As Yuta Okkotsu's shocked voice rang out, Geto Suguru's gaze followed the direction of his outstretched finger.
A sound like thunder first emanated, followed by a brilliant purple sphere that tore through all obstacles from a thousand meters away.
"This is!"
"Sister Chinatsu's... Hollow Technique: Purple!"
Their pupils trembled as they watched such a super-scale sight, while the person who unleashed the move exhaled, then smiled, crossed her arms, and stretched backward with a big, lazy yawn.
"Mmm~ That feels good!!!"
