"So that's it, you were revived by that woman who loves to show off," Gojo Satoru said, hitting his right fist into his left palm in sudden realization.
After seeing Sukuna, like a BOSS in a game, truly complete a second-stage transformation, Gojo Satoru had been using his Six Eyes to study him.
Under the observation of his Six Eyes, Sukuna's previously somewhat mixed Cursed Energy now appeared purer and more potent.
Thus, Gojo Satoru quickly deduced the reason for Sukuna's revival.
In the world of Jujutsu Kaisen, Jujutsu Sorcerers have two vital points.
One is the head.
Jujutsu Sorcerers rely on their brain to control their Cursed Technique, specifically the prefrontal cortex of the right brain.
Previously, Gojo Satoru had restored his Cursed Technique Burnout by precisely destroying this part of the brain with Cursed Energy and then repairing it with Reverse Cursed Technique.
Furthermore, if a Jujutsu Sorcerer's head is attacked and they lose consciousness, their Cursed Technique will also terminate.
For example, Megumi Fushiguro's Ten Shadows Technique disappeared during the period when he temporarily lost consciousness after being ambushed by a Cursed Spirit.
The other is the abdomen.
This is the core of Cursed Energy; once it is destroyed, the Jujutsu Sorcerer cannot use Cursed Energy.
This is also why Gojo Satoru, after being cut in half at the waist, could not use Reverse Cursed Technique to heal himself, ultimately leading to his death.
Gojo Satoru had just clearly destroyed Sukuna's two vital points.
However, due to Uraume's intrusion, Gojo Satoru was forced into Cursed Technique Burnout and couldn't completely annihilate Sukuna's body.
Gojo Satoru knew Tomie was difficult to kill, but because he was too strong, he didn't have a deep understanding of Tomie's immortality.
After all, no matter how strong Tomie's immortality was, encountering Purple would directly erase her, leaving not even a single cell.
"I didn't expect the legendary Ryomen Sukuna to also rely on a woman to survive, haha, this is truly too interesting."
Gojo Satoru laughed, pointing one hand at Sukuna and repeatedly slapping his thigh with the other.
"You trash…"
Ryomen Sukuna's four eyes narrowed, and a terrifying Aura surged from him.
At this moment, Sukuna vividly demonstrated what it meant for those with narrowed eyes to be monsters.
"I will tear your mouth apart, then mince your tongue into a paste and savor it."
Ryomen Sukuna formed hand signs with two hands, while his other two hands were slightly lowered, adopting a defensive combat stance.
"Eichi, this one is mine, don't you dare snatch him," Gojo Satoru said with a smile, forming hand signs while looking at Eichi, who was making a cautious move in mid-air.
Hearing this, Eichi also stopped his movements.
He trusted Gojo Satoru, and he believed in Gojo Satoru's strength.
But there was one exception: when fighting Ryomen Sukuna.
It wasn't that the 16-finger Sukuna was incredibly strong.
Reason told Eichi that the 16-finger Sukuna was no match for Gojo Satoru; at least 18 fingers would be needed to have a chance of defeating Gojo Satoru.
But emotion made Eichi not want his good friend to take this risk; he didn't know if there would be so-called plot inertia or other reasons that would cause Gojo Satoru to have an accident.
After all, this was no longer a fictional anime world, but the place where Eichi truly lived.
In that world, Eichi could make up for regrets through fantasy and creation, but here, a dear friend's life was singular.
But now that Gojo Satoru had spoken, Eichi couldn't forcefully interfere.
Moreover, Sukuna wasn't the only enemy in the arena.
"I understand, then the rest of these are mine."
Eichi's tone was very calm, as if the people in the arena were ants that could be crushed at any time.
This tone undoubtedly enraged Uraume, who had just been reincarnated and revived not long ago and had not yet been thoroughly beaten by Eichi.
"Domain Expansion: Unlimited Void."
"Domain Expansion: Malevolent Shrine."
Both sides' Domains expanded once again, then quickly shrank.
This time, the prepared Ryomen Sukuna promptly reduced his Domain to amplify the power of the slashes within it.
Sukuna once again made a Binding Vow, sacrificing the guaranteed hit effect within the Domain and reducing the power of slashes inside Gojo Satoru's Domain range, in exchange for a greatly increased power of external slashes.
In this less than 10-meter coliseum, the two sides clashed again.
"You've really changed a lot, interesting."
Gojo Satoru immediately felt the difference after his fist struck Sukuna's arm.
Unlike the previously soft and boneless feeling.
This time, Sukuna's arm was as hard as iron.
Coupled with Sukuna's true form, which was even taller and more robust than him, it was clear he was a master of close combat.
This made Gojo Satoru incredibly excited.
What's the point of Tomie? A real man should fight Sukuna.
"If you beg for mercy now, I might just spare your life."
Ryomen Sukuna's lower two arms constantly swung, clashing fiercely with Gojo Satoru's fists.
The sounds of fist meeting flesh continuously echoed within the Domain.
His upper two hands remained in a hand sign, manually controlling and constantly adjusting Malevolent Shrine as needed.
Due to the Binding Vow, the internal Domain power was weakened in exchange for increased external power.
Therefore, in the internal Domain clash, Sukuna's Malevolent Shrine was at a disadvantage.
However, Ryomen Sukuna didn't care; he only needed to shatter the outer shell of the Domain before his own was completely suppressed within Gojo Satoru's Domain range.
At that time, he would thoroughly beat Gojo Satoru.
Moreover, Sukuna could also use Domain Amplification within the Domain.
After all, as Gojo Satoru said, Gojo Satoru held an absolute advantage in the performance of Cursed Techniques.
And Sukuna had already understood the terrifying nature of Unlimited Void.
This was also why Sukuna didn't directly use Tomie's body to complete his revival and manifest his true form.
He used Tomie's immortality to gather intelligence on Gojo Satoru's Domain.
Bang, bang, bang!
The sounds of fist meeting flesh echoed within the Domain.
Gojo Satoru excitedly unleashed his full power.
Bang.
Gojo Satoru was sent flying, but he was laughing happily.
"You're using all four hands now."
Gojo Satoru looked at Sukuna with a mocking expression.
Sukuna initially underestimated Gojo Satoru a bit, which is why he only used two hands to spar with Gojo Satoru in close combat, despite having four hands.
In his opinion, the reason he was previously suppressed by Gojo Satoru was because Tomie's body was too weak, not because his, Sukuna's, close combat ability was weak.
However, Gojo Satoru now used his fists to tell Sukuna: "If the person is incompetent, don't blame the uneven road."
"Bastard."
Sukuna looked at Gojo Satoru with a cruel expression, his upper two hands spread wide, seemingly preparing to grab Gojo Satoru's head and shoulders.
His lower two hands were placed in front of him, one in front and one behind, ready to attack at any moment.
Gojo Satoru laughed and threw the first punch.
The saying "two fists are no match for four hands" seemed to be completely ineffective with Gojo Satoru.
Because Gojo Satoru's Six Eyes observation ability was too strong.
In this clash of power, both sides would reinforce the power of their fists with Cursed Energy.
This allowed the Six Eyes, which observed Cursed Energy with extreme precision, to always predict Sukuna's attack direction one step ahead.
This also led to Gojo Satoru, despite having only two fists, being able to overpower Sukuna's four fists.
Bang.
Gojo Satoru punched Sukuna's annoying face again.
Sukuna also kicked Gojo Satoru in the abdomen.
This time, it was Sukuna's turn to go on the offensive.
Sukuna possessed far more combat experience than Gojo Satoru, and Sukuna's Comprehension Ability and learning capacity were terrifying.
So terrifying that he learned Kenjaku's method of creating Cursed Objects just by seeing it once, then created the Special Grade Cursed Object: Sukuna's Fingers himself.
He had already begun to adapt to Gojo Satoru's fighting style.
