The weak band together for warmth and to adapt to the world.
The strong make the world adapt to them.
As the strongest Sorcerer in history, Sukuna had absolutely no interest in controlling the world or conquering humanity.
He loved good food, especially the monkey brain soup cooked by Uraume.
He loved fighting, especially against strong opponents who could rival him!
"HAHAHAHA!"
The stronger the enemy, the more excited Sukuna became!
His eyes flashed with a terrifying, unholy fighting spirit!
Like a cannonball, Sukuna shot straight toward the sky, aiming directly at Zenin Mirai!
There were two types of Sukuna's innate slashing techniques.
Dismantle: A normal, invisible, flying slash.
Cleave: A fatal slash whose intensity could be adjusted according to the difference in Cursed Energy between him and the target.
Without expanding his Domain, the release of Cleave required him to be extremely close to the target or make physical contact.
Taking advantage of the gap in his Kamui intangibility technique, Zenin Mirai was now at his most vulnerable stage!
This was clear not only to Sukuna, but also to Satoru Gojo.
Striking white hair danced wildly, and Cursed Energy surged and churned!
Gojo pointed his right hand to the sky, palm facing outward, and a bright blue light shone through as the technique was executed! His left hand faced the enemy, fingers drooping, the crimson reflection of his Cursed Technique Reversal mirroring the earth!
Gojo Satoru had clashed with Zenin Mirai twice before.
One incident was forced to stop due to the safety of his students, and another was due to the numerous restrictions imposed on him by the presence of ordinary humans at Shibuya Station.
Now that this absolute ruin had become a battlefield... he no longer had any scruples!
His azure pupils held a madness no less intense than Sukuna's, and a manic smile surged from the corners of his mouth!
As the strongest modern Sorcerer, he also possessed an invincible heart that was no weaker than anyone else's!
"Hollow Technique: Purple!!!"
A dazzling purple light illuminated the heavens and the earth as his most powerful strike, combined with Sukuna's attack in mid-air, unleashed its full power!
Suguru Geto wasn't idle either; the Cursed Energy contained in this new vessel was enough for him to squander at will!
"A century's worth of Cursed Energy... Maximum: Uzumaki!!!"
As the purple light rose into the sky, a silent black light danced in its wake!
In less than half a second, Sukuna had soared a hundred meters into the air!
Ignoring the incoming impacts from below, Sukuna just grinned as he looked at Zenin Mirai in the sky!
"Cleave!"
The blade of light that shot out from his fingertips cleaved the heavens and the earth, and the entire massive Susanoo was enveloped by a slashing grid that was hundreds of meters long!
Purple light! Black light! Slashes!
Three terrifying attacks, exceeding even the peak of the Special Grade level, surged toward the thick, blood-red aura surrounding the giant!
"Excellent, excellent!"
"It was truly wonderful to choose to leave you all for the very end!"
Faced with three devastating attacks that were within arm's reach, Mirai stood high in the sky, laughing wildly!
The blood-red Mangekyo in his right eye instantly transformed into a mysterious, rippling purple pattern!
"Shinra Tensei!!!"
BOOM!!!
A deafening roar, exactly like a nuclear explosion, erupted over the ruins between Shibuya and Shinjuku!
The earth shook violently, and even the cleaved sky seemed to sway and dance!
The trembling void resembled a mirror on the verge of shattering, with black cracks crisscrossing across it!
A massive wave of dust, thousands of meters high, completely obscured everything!
The sheer kinetic force of the aftershocks alone caused the instant deaths of over a million ordinary people in Japan, who were trapped within the barrier between the two districts!
The Divine Tree did not immediately absorb the Cursed Energy that filled the barrier!
On the contrary, the enormous Cursed Womb high in the sky was pulsating and breathing more and more rapidly, feeding on the death!
...
The billowing smoke obscured their vision, and the Jujutsu High students watching the live broadcast were buzzing with urgent discussion.
Yuji Itadori stood up and asked, "Why doesn't Gojo-sensei just unleash his Domain Expansion? Wouldn't the casualties among the civilians inside the battle barrier just get even greater the longer this drags on?"
The acting commander, Atsuya Kusakabe, stood up with a stern face. "It's not that he doesn't want to expand his Domain. It's that he can't right now."
"It seems Zenin Mirai's Kamui intangibility technique can't be used at this moment, but he still has the Ten Shadows Technique to control his Shikigami!"
"Don't forget, Gojo Satoru and Sukuna... both of them have suffered at the hands of that strongest Shikigami, Mahoraga!"
"Unleashing your Domain before forcing Mirai to summon Mahoraga is just a massive waste of your own Cursed Energy! It would leave you entirely vulnerable!"
They couldn't participate in the direct battles, and they couldn't help prevent the sacrifices of countless civilians outside either.
Yuji sat down again, feeling completely frustrated, his knuckles clenched so tightly they cracked!
Hajime Kashimo stared intently at the screen, completely absorbed!
As the 'Strongest' from four hundred years ago, this kind of apocalyptic battle, where the sky could collapse at any moment, filled him with absolute excitement!
The siblings, Mei Mei and Ui Ui, kept watching the live stream signal connecting them to the outside world. Every now and then, they would take out their phones and look at their rapidly increasing bank balances with great joy.
Angel then gathered Hakari, Yuta, and Higuruma in a corner and secretly discussed their contingency battle plan.
There were only a few of them on site, but they could still play a crucial role at the right moments.
...
The giant Susanoo, standing a hundred meters tall, took a single step that shook the earth and shattered the mountain rocks!
The smoke of war that once shrouded the city was completely dissipated in all directions the moment Mirai simply opened the palm of his hand!
This was an even more domineering repulsive force than Gojo's Red, and its area of effect was even more terrifying!
As the smoke cleared, Mirai looked down and laughed. "It seems that the temporary absence of my Kamui has given you guys even more motivation!"
"Very good! Keep up the momentum!"
"Let me enjoy this a little more on my own!"
Both Gojo Satoru and Sukuna had previously regretted not fighting Mirai in their absolute prime, and not being able to fight him with all their might.
The same was true for Mirai.
He hadn't really been able to stretch his limbs and fight properly during all those years of meticulous preparation for this grand plan.
"Hehe!"
Kicking away the heavy rubble in front of him, Sukuna, whose hands were both heavily mangled, emerged completely covered in blood.
He had been too close to the epicenter of the Shinra Tensei when it was unleashed, and right below him had been the shameless maximum attacks of Gojo Satoru and his companion.
Sukuna, who was the most seriously injured of the three, coughed up two or three mouthfuls of thick blood!
As his Reverse Cursed Technique was activated, both of his hands gradually began to rapidly recover.
Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, Sukuna grinned and exclaimed, "As expected of a top-notch meal! Even a single bite is so thrilling!"
"Be careful not to burst your stomach, King of Clowns."
Being further away, and possessing the absolute defense of Infinity, Gojo Satoru wasn't nearly as disheveled as Sukuna.
"I realized that disturbing someone's fantasies is not a polite thing to do."
Beside Gojo Satoru, Suguru Geto, whose kasaya was heavily torn, was even more sarcastic. "What's with calling him the King of Clowns? He's an elderly senior, after all, Satoru. You should at least show some respect."
"Suguru, you're still as long-winded as ever!"
"But you're right this time; seniors do deserve respect!"
Gojo Satoru turned to look at Sukuna, grinning and showing his white teeth. "Sorry, Clown-senpai."
"Hah. Two brats."
Sukuna's eyes turned entirely bloodshot in an instant, and a dense net of slashing blades shot out from his fingertips, rushing aggressively toward the two of them!
BOOM!
The blades, deflected effortlessly by Infinity, once again kicked up a massive cloud of dust!
Three factions, each fighting their own battle!
The two 'Strongest' could attack Mirai together, but they would also ruthlessly attack each other!
BOOM!!!
A massive Susanoo foot descended from the sky, bringing with it an immense, crushing shockwave!
The ground was left with a bottomless pit and scorching heat from the sheer friction!
"Don't fight amongst yourselves. If there's only one of you left, the warm-up won't be as effective," Mirai mocked.
The seemingly heartfelt advice he offered only fueled the absolute madness of the two 'Strongest' individuals!
"Before I completely bring this country under Kamui's control, I'll show you something good."
The hundred-meter-tall Susanoo, encased in flesh and Tengu armor, slowly formed a gigantic hand seal under Mirai's control!
It pressed its palms together, brought its index and middle fingers together, and interlocked the other six fingers!
Looking down with a light laugh, Mirai sincerely reminded them, "Good luck. But whatever you do... don't die yet."
His right eye gleamed with a rippling purple light, and an overwhelming, god-like surge of Cursed Energy erupted forth!
"Maximum Technique—Tengai Shinsei!!!" (Heavenly Obstruction Star).
BUZZ!!!
