"So strong, then let this old man have a go at you!"
Seeing Real Person heavily injured on first contact, and by flames no less, Jogo, the special grade intelligent Cursed Spirit with a volcano-like head, immediately charged forward and unleashed his domain.
"Domain Expansion: Coffin of the Iron Mountain!"
The sea of fire spread wildly, trying to forcibly pull Itachi, who had been delayed for a second by Real Person, into the domain.
"Shadow Clone Technique!"
Knowing it would be difficult to escape, Itachi didn't panic. Instead, he directly split off a Shadow Clone, sending the Shadow Clone to take Inoguchi and Sasaki and continue fleeing towards the edge of the forest, while his true body turned around and activated the complete Susanoo.
As long as the Shadow Clone got the people out and successfully called for help, then even if he couldn't win the fight, he could at least stall until Gojo Satoru arrived as reinforcement.
Although Gojo Satoru had gone to Kyoto, Itachi understood that Gojo Satoru's Jujutsu Sorcerer abilities included spatial powers similar to Obito's.
As soon as Gojo Satoru received the call, he could use Cursed Technique Reversal: Blue to instantly teleport back to Tokyo, and then quickly arrive here.
"Susanoo!"
As Itachi's Mangekyo rotated, an orange-red Susanoo, over two hundred meters tall, with the Yata Mirror in its left hand and the Sword of Totsuka in its right, rapidly rose from the forest.
And the moment Susanoo formed, it immediately raised the Yata Mirror high, blocking the encroaching sea of fire from the domain.
The Yata Mirror, as a spiritual tool inherent to Susanoo, has the ability to nullify all attack attributes.
So when it collided with Jogo's flame domain, it actually managed to block it.
"Such a thing actually exists!"
Jogo's sole eye widened when he saw his domain successfully activated but failing to trap the opponent.
One must know that once a domain is activated, it will inevitably take effect. He had never heard of anyone being able to forcibly keep a domain out.
Even if there were Jujutsu that could resist a domain, they would only work after being drawn into the domain.
"It truly is a special power, different from Cursed Energy!"
Even the experienced Kenjaku showed a hint of surprise on his face after witnessing this situation.
However, he was more intrigued.
During the last exchange event, he had noticed that Itachi's power was unusual, seemingly not the Cursed Energy everyone else used, but a never-before-seen special power.
Including the strange power that Yuji Itadori had exhibited over the past two years.
So this time, creating such a grand spectacle, besides clearing obstacles and paving the way for the Culling Game plan, was also to study this different power system.
To figure out the true origin of Uchiha Itachi, who seemed to have appeared out of thin air.
"A mere fellow without a domain, don't underestimate this old man!"
Seeing his domain blocked, the hot-tempered Jogo instantly became enraged.
It was one thing to be beaten by Gojo Satoru before, after all, he possessed the Six Eyes and was recognized as the World's strongest Jujutsu Sorcerer, so it wasn't shameful.
But if he couldn't even deal with this guy in front of him, who didn't even have a domain, then as a New Human and the big brother among the special grade Cursed Spirits, he would truly lose face.
He channeled all the Cursed Energy in his body into violent, volcano-like flames, which, under the amplification of his domain, increased several times in power and fiercely blasted towards Susanoo.
The purely violent flame energy was difficult for even the Yata Mirror to completely nullify. Susanoo was pushed back repeatedly, and cracks even appeared on its surface.
"Die!"
After unleashing his strongest attack, Jogo did not slack off. Instead, while Susanoo had not yet reacted, he flashed to its forehead, which was Itachi's location.
Then, with flames coiling around his hands, he thrust forward.
"I've been waiting for you."
However, Itachi showed no surprise at this moment. His expression was unusually calm, because the Sword of Totsuka in his right hand had already stabbed upwards towards Jogo.
With his Mangekyo Sharingan's terrifying dynamic capture ability, how could he not have noticed Jogo's sneak attack?
It was just that Jogo was within his own domain earlier, and his Sword of Totsuka couldn't penetrate it. So he deliberately pretended not to have detected it in advance and defended, even allowing Susanoo to crack, to lure him out of the domain's range.
The Sword of Totsuka is a sealing blade; once stabbed, the target will be absorbed into a gourd and permanently sealed within a genjutsu dream.
"Hanami!"
Originally, Jogo wasn't too worried about the Sword of Totsuka stabbing him, because as long as his head was fine, his body could be pierced with countless holes without any problem.
However, just as the Sword of Totsuka was about to strike him, a great fear surged within him. His intuition told him that once struck, he would be finished.
So in the end, he swallowed his pride and called for a companion's help.
And with his call, countless large trees suddenly grew from beneath Itachi's Susanoo, instantly locking it down and stopping the thrusting Sword of Totsuka less than a centimeter from Jogo's backside.
It was the special grade Cursed Spirit Hanami who had activated her Jujutsu to rescue him.
In fact, as Jogo attacked, Hanami had already received a hint from Kenjaku and secretly placed her hands on the ground, preparing her Jujutsu.
"Is it an ability similar to Wood Release?"
Looking at the trees coiling around him like pythons, Itachi immediately thought of the First Hokage's Wood Release, and his brows furrowed slightly.
"Domain Expansion: Blooming Epicenter!"
While Itachi was temporarily trapped and unable to move, Hanami quickly unleashed her domain.
This time, Itachi could no longer escape and was completely enveloped within the domain.
"I already thought this guy would be troublesome, but I didn't expect him to be even more troublesome than I anticipated."
Seeing the three special grade Cursed Spirits barely manage to trap Itachi, Kenjaku sighed and said to Jogo:
"You go in and help Hanami. I estimate that even if he's trapped in the domain, Hanami might not be able to handle him alone."
A clone had already gone to report, and if they couldn't resolve this quickly, Gojo Satoru would teleport over once he received the news, which would be troublesome.
Jogo nodded angrily and plunged into Hanami's domain.
Meanwhile, the domain of the Smallpox Deity shattered. Yuji Itadori, with a pair of spirit energy wings on his back and a spirit energy crown on his head, in his Quincy: Vollständig state, appeared in the air and fired a Quincy arrow fiercely at Kenjaku.
"Holy Arrow of Destruction!"
Clearly, Yuji Itadori had already dealt with the special grade disease-type Cursed Spirit, the Smallpox Deity, within the domain.
"He really is a disobedient child."
Kenjaku saw this and looked at Dagon, the special grade intelligent Cursed Spirit standing nearby. Dagon immediately opened his domain.
"Domain Expansion: Horizon of the Guiding Tide!"
Dagon's strength was not the greatest among the special grade intelligent Cursed Spirits, but he possessed the most immense Cursed Energy.
His domain, which resembled a Hawaiian beach and sea, could even be maintained for ten days to half a month without dissipating due to insufficient Cursed Energy. Kenjaku and the other three top special grade Cursed Spirits often vacationed within his domain.
One must know that a normal special grade Cursed Spirit's domain expansion, lasting a few days, was already considered strong, and a Jujutsu Sorcerer's domain expansion time was even shorter.
"Death Swarm!"
The domain once again enveloped Yuji Itadori. Countless fish-like Shikigami, summoned by Dagon, flew out of the sea and charged madly at Yuji, making him momentarily flustered.
Seizing this opportunity, Kenjaku took out the eleven Ryomen Sukuna fingers he had collected.
Although the infiltration plan during the Kyoto Sister School Exchange Event two years ago had failed, and he hadn't retrieved the six fingers at Tokyo Jujutsu High, he had collected all the remaining eleven fingers in the past two years.
Now, he didn't need to defeat Yuji Itadori; he just needed to feed the eleven fingers to Yuji Itadori, and combined with his Jujutsu, he could allow Ryomen Sukuna to seize control of the body.
At that time, if Ryomen Sukuna was willing to cooperate with him, that would be best; if not, it didn't matter.
Because with Ryomen Sukuna's personality, he would inevitably go on a rampage. Then Gojo Satoru would surely intervene. After Gojo Satoru sealed Ryomen Sukuna, he could then use the prison realm to seize the opportunity and seal Gojo Satoru, thereby continuing his Culling Game plan.
"Gravity Reversal!"
Just as Yuji Itadori and Dagon, with his swarm of Shikigami, were locked in a fierce aerial battle, Kenjaku suddenly activated the Jujutsu of Kaori Itadori, Yuji Itadori's mother, whom he had once possessed.
Yuji Itadori's body instantly slammed onto the beach due to the reversal of gravity, and then Dagon closed in, pinning him down.
Kenjaku also quickly stepped forward and shoved all eleven fingers into Yuji Itadori's mouth at once.
At the same time, he applied a special Jujutsu he had researched over the past two years to his forehead.
Yuji Itadori was the child born when Kenjaku, while possessing Kaori Itadori's body, was with Jin Itadori, who was the reincarnation of Ryomen Sukuna's twin brother.
This is also why Yuji Itadori was born with a body unlike ordinary people, without any training, his physique was several times that of World-class athletes, and he could even contain Ryomen Sukuna's soul.
This was also one of his goals when he possessed Kaori Itadori's body.
Even in the worst-case scenario, if Ryomen Sukuna came out and immediately attacked them, he could still use the Jujutsu he just applied to suppress him back into Yuji Itadori's body.
"Hahaha, hahaha, this old man is finally out again!"
Having swallowed eleven fingers and mostly recovered his Cursed Energy, Ryomen Sukuna immediately took control of Yuji Itadori's body. Special Cursed Energy patterns appeared on his face, and two extra pairs of eyes opened.
Being trapped in Yuji Itadori's body before was already frustrating enough, and it became even more frustrating after he was sealed by Adam when they met later.
Now, with Adam not having appeared for over two years, he had finally absorbed enough power to temporarily control this body.
Next, he needed to quickly find Megumi Fushiguro and transfer his soul to Megumi Fushiguro's body.
This way, he could completely escape the terrifying Adam, and also acquire Megumi Fushiguro's Ten Shadows Technique, especially to subdue the strongest Shikigami, Mahoraga.
"It's done."
Kenjaku smiled at the sight.
However, just as Kenjaku was about to communicate with Ryomen Sukuna to see if they could cooperate against Gojo Satoru, he noticed a sudden look of fear in Ryomen Sukuna's eyes.
"Oh no, how did he come back at this time!"
As this terrified shout rang out, the patterns on his face instantly receded, and Yuji Itadori returned to normal.
At the same time, a strange figure appeared beside him.
"Yuji, with this blue sky, white clouds, and beach, are you on vacation?"
Adam's spiritual sense swept across the scene. He looked at Yuji Itadori, who had just regained control of his body, and said jokingly.
Yuji Itadori's eyes immediately lit up with surprise when he saw Adam appear.
"Adam, why haven't you appeared for so long? This isn't a vacation for us."
"Who is this gentleman?"
At this moment, Kenjaku suddenly interrupted Yuji Itadori.
He was still a bit confused.
Why did Ryomen Sukuna suddenly disappear in such fear?
And who was this person who suddenly appeared in the domain?
Although he didn't feel any Cursed Energy fluctuations from this suddenly appearing man, an inexplicable urge to flee immediately surged within him.
But reason still forced him to suppress this urge. Even if the opponent was truly powerful.
Then, before fleeing, he should at least gather some intelligence about the opponent to facilitate targeted countermeasures next time.
"Your friend?"
Adam didn't look at Kenjaku.
Yuji Itadori shook his head:
"He's an enemy!"
"Bansho Tenin."
Adam raised his hand and aimed directly at Kenjaku. A powerful suction instantly pulled Kenjaku towards him.
Kenjaku tried to resist, but found the suction too terrifying, even more so than the suction in Gojo Satoru's Limitless, making him completely unable to move a single inch.
Even if he used anti-gravity Jujutsu, he couldn't cancel it out.
Fortunately, Dagon on the other side reacted in time, summoning a giant fish-like Shikigami to devour Adam.
But Adam merely turned his head and glared, and the giant fish-like Shikigami exploded in the air.
However, this gave Kenjaku a moment to breathe. He immediately used Suguru Geto's Jujutsu to summon a Cursed Spirit with spatial abilities, temporarily taking his place.
"Dagon, hold him off!"
Realizing Adam's terrifying strength, Kenjaku, while making the honest Dagon hold off Adam, retreated from Dagon's domain.
In his opinion, no matter how strong Adam was, it would take some time to defeat Dagon and break his domain, and that time would be enough for him to escape.
"Are you done? Why are you out here?"
Real Person, who was trying to recover, showed a surprised look on his face when he saw Kenjaku emerge from Dagon's domain.
Kenjaku's eyes darted around, and he walked over to Real Person with a smile.
"Done. You focus on recovering. I'll go help Hanami and the others."
While Real Person closed his eyes again, Kenjaku suddenly reached out and placed his hand on Real Person's head, activating Suguru Geto's Jujutsu. He was going to devour Real Person whole.
Originally, he had intended to use these intelligent special grade Cursed Spirits to seal Gojo Satoru, but now the situation was dire, so he had to temporarily change his plan.
Hanami and Jogo might not be a match for Uchiha Itachi. Real Person was heavily injured. Dagon couldn't possibly hold off both Yuji Itadori and the terrifyingly strong Adam at the same time.
So, in the end, he might be the only one who could escape this operation.
Since that was the case, it was better to absorb Real Person while he was heavily injured. Anyway, his subsequent plans already included absorbing Real Person, because he needed Real Person's Idle Transfiguration Jujutsu to initiate the Culling Game.
"Boom!"
However, just as he began to devour, Dagon's domain on the other side was already split in two and directly broken open, and Dagon himself was being choked by Adam like a dead fish, looking as if his life was hanging by a thread.
"What? So fast!"
Kenjaku's hand trembled in fright at the sight. He immediately stopped devouring Real Person and frantically tried to escape.
Are you kidding me? It hadn't even been ten seconds since he exited the domain, and Dagon was already beaten to this state, and the domain was forcibly broken open.
Such strength, even Gojo Satoru might not be able to achieve it.
"Friend, where are you going?"
However, the next second, he found Adam smiling right in front of him.
