Maximum Technique.
This is a signature move that brings a Sorcerer's innate technique to their absolute fullest potential.
It is the strongest attack one can launch outside of a Domain Expansion.
Each type of innate technique represents the characteristics of a completely different field.
Zenin Mirai possessed the Ten Shadows Technique, the Mangekyo Sharingan, and the Rinnegan.
Three realms, three extremes.
When Kamui was evolved to its absolute limit, and further amplified by the Culling Game barrier serving as an anchor, it became a divine technique powerful enough to drag the entire Country into the void.
The Maximum Technique activated by a single Rinnegan only possessed half of its true, original power.
Despite this...
The half-burnt cigarette fell to the floor, and Atsuya Kusakabe, slumped in his chair in the safehouse, murmured in absolute despair, "I'm tired... Let's just let him destroy it."
"That monster!"
At this moment, even the boiling fighting spirit surging within the martial arts fanatic, Hajime Kashimo, subsided for a long, silent moment.
Staring intently at the screen showing the final battle, everyone trembled involuntarily, gripped by raw, primal fear!
Nobara Kugisaki pursed her lips, her voice trembling violently as she said, "The sun... has fallen."
BUZZ!!!
A deafening, apocalyptic roar echoed through the sky, followed by a dramatic fall from the heavens!
The air rubbed violently against the surface of the massive meteorite, sending up bursts of intense, blinding heat!
The nine blazing suns that had seemed like an illusion before... now fell down with unmistakable, crushing realism!
Everything on the screen looked exactly like a disaster movie with an apocalyptic theme.
But everyone could physically and clearly sense the earth shaking outside their safehouse!
Because of the unseen broadcast transmission, Mirai had deliberately avoided dropping a meteor directly on the place where the Jujutsu High students were hiding.
Within the safehouse barrier...
"There are still so many ordinary humans outside! We can't just stand by and watch!"
With that, a resolute look set on his face, Yuji Itadori stood up and rushed toward the door. He couldn't just sit here and ignore the mass death occurring outside.
"Tch!"
Nobara frowned, grabbed her hammer, got up, and rushed out right behind Yuji.
A small mouth cracked open below the corner of Hana Kurusu's eye. "Go ahead. Anyway, that guy already saw through this hiding place a long time ago, didn't he?"
The intention of hiding here was to catch the enemy off guard, but before the battle even started, Mirai had already infiltrated their stronghold with a simple phone call to Mei Mei.
Everyone's tasks had been assigned, so there was absolutely no point in hiding like cowards anymore.
...
Watching a massive meteorite fall right before your eyes, the resulting fear and absolute dread...
It was exactly like pouring hot oil on a raging fire, causing a massive, global surge in negative emotions from the broadcast!
Intangible, black emotions kept flooding directly into Mirai's bloodshot left eye.
"Ah... what a wonderful feeling!"
Mirai spread his arms wide, squinted his eyes, and looked extremely pleased!
Sukuna looked up at the apocalyptic sky. His four eyes were serious, but a truly mad look quickly appeared on his face. "Heh, that's really exaggerated!"
He bent over, rapidly forming hand seals, and shadows leaped forth from his feet!
"Nue!"
A colossal beast appeared out of nowhere, its outstretched wings large enough to cover entire skyscrapers!
Thick bolts of crackling lightning, as thick as a grown man, surrounded the giant beast, making it incredibly powerful!
Sukuna, who used his stolen Ten Shadows Technique first, stepped onto the Shikigami's back and shot straight up into the sky!
Before heading to the center of the barrier to confront Mirai, Sukuna—now restored to his peak—had destroyed the old site of the Zenin clan estate to absolute smithereens!
It wasn't just to vent his anger; it was to complete the taming and purification ritual of the Ten Shadows!
However, even such a colossal beast was but a large ant in the face of the falling meteorite.
It evoked a sense of a mayfly trying to shake a mighty tree, a scene of vastly overestimating its own strength.
"Satoru!!!"
Suguru Geto let out a low shout, and his Cursed Energy surged forth!
The unspoken understanding between close friends only required a single glance!
"Okay, I understand!"
Gojo's Cursed Technique Reversal maximum output was unleashed!
The azure beams of light that rose from Gojo Satoru's palms shot straight up into the sky to create a localized singularity!
"Cursed Spirit Manipulation!"
A familiar, grotesque figure crawled out from a dark crack in the void behind Geto!
Encased in thick insect armor, Yorozu had transformed from a mortal vessel into a Vengeful Cursed Spirit!
If a Sorcerer is not killed using Cursed Energy to deliver the final blow, they may become a Vengeful Cursed Spirit after death.
Mirai had conducted a cruel experiment using Yorozu while she was on the absolute verge of death.
He had borrowed some modern firearms from a few American soldiers wandering the barrier, and after a few mundane gunshots to her head, he actually succeeded.
It was Yorozu's unwavering, delusional love and deep, twisted longing for her beloved Sukuna—whom she had yet to even properly reunite with—that anchored her!
It let her be reborn as a Curse!
Yorozu, who was now entirely under Suguru Geto's control, formed hand seals!
"True Sphere."
A perfectly black sphere, a construct of absolute pressure that shouldn't exist in physical reality, emerged!
BOOM!
Using the maximum gravitational pull emitted by Gojo Satoru's Blue, the True Sphere was suddenly hurtled upward, accelerating toward the meteorite high in the sky!
Geto continuously channeled his massive internal Cursed Energy reserves into Yorozu, and the Sphere continued to grow even larger during its ascent!
Meanwhile, Sukuna pressed himself against the very edge of the falling meteorite first, grinning maliciously as he placed his bare hands against the intense, burning heat!
In the instant before his hands were completely carbonized, a massive surge of Cursed Energy erupted.
"Maximum Output: Cleave!"
Like a sun that had been violently sliced apart, the meteorite's surface was instantly covered with layers of sharp, devastating cuts!
Then, it exploded violently!
Amidst a shower of flying, burning meteors, Sukuna, half-charred, crashed back down to the ground!
Compared to Sukuna's brute-force madness, the collaboration between the two close friends was much more ingenious.
In the absolute center of the falling boulder, a perfectly round vacuum tunnel was blasted open by Yorozu's True Sphere!
Gojo Satoru carried Suguru Geto through the air, perfectly flying through the safe tunnel!
BOOM!!!
The shattered fragments of the meteorite crashed down all over Tokyo, sending dust and massive debris flying everywhere!
The streets were completely covered in blood, with limbs and pieces of flesh scattered everywhere, and the ground was filled with the wails and cries of absolute agony!
A thick, suffocating atmosphere of despair completely enveloped the land of Japan!
...
The global negative emotions had reached their absolute peak!
The bloodshot crimson color in Mirai's left eye slowly faded, and both eyes were now filled with the rippling, purple cycle of reincarnation!
Both eyes had unlocked the Rinnegan!
"HAHAHAHA!"
"Indeed... this was the absolute right decision!"
Mirai loomed high in the sky, his mood incredibly exhilarating!
"Is that monster still getting stronger?!"
Geto made a serious, strained remark, then looked at Gojo Satoru beside him, muttering to himself.
"That felt great! That felt GREAT!!!"
Sukuna laughed wildly from the crater as he formed a new hand seal, revealing his stolen hidden trump card!
*"With this treasure, I summon..."
"Eight-Handled Sword Divergent Sila Divine General—Mahoraga!"
The summoning had not yet stopped. With the blessing of a massive amount of Cursed Energy, Sukuna formed hand seals once more!
"Nue!"
"Totality!"
A boiling shadow appeared, and two ferocious-looking Shikigami emerged and stood proudly behind him!
A man and a woman, standing just like bodyguards!
Ten Shadows Sorcerers cannot summon more than two distinct types of Shikigami at the exact same time; this is a strict rule constraint!
But Shikigami can be fused via Totality, and their power and traits can be permanently stacked!
The Mahoraga summoned by Sukuna looked almost identical to the one summoned by Mirai in the past.
But the other Shikigami...
Another ugly, humanoid creature possessed the upper body and lightning of Nue and the lower body of a human woman!
It had antennae like the Great Serpent, limbs and claws like the Divine Dog, and a tail like the Toad!
This was the new, ultimate Shikigami fusion beast: Agito!
Sukuna had specifically seized Megumi's body because he had witnessed the absolute, overwhelming power of Mirai.
As a fellow Ten Shadows user, Sukuna had absolutely no way of adapting or hiding Mahoraga's wheel in the shadows right under Mirai's Rinnegan nose; he would see right through it.
If the opponent were only Gojo Satoru, Sukuna would still have used his original plan of adapting in the shadows.
But compared to the Cursed King's acquisition of the body, this tag-team of ultimate Shikigami was his newly acquired trump card against Mirai!
Another pair of close friends also brought out their corresponding fighting strength!
Yorozu, who had become a Vengeful Cursed Spirit, and Naoya, who had crawled out of the Kamui crack under Geto's control!
Two Special Grade Cursed Spirits capable of expanding their own Domains—or rather, "gifts" unwittingly offered up by Mirai's previous experiments!
Sukuna, accompanied by two ultimate Shikigami, charged straight up into the air with the speed of lightning!
Suguru Geto and Gojo Satoru also suddenly sprang up from the other side at the exact same time!
Seven terrifying auras, each exuding absolute, top-tier power, were heading straight toward Mirai!
Known as the Strongest in History, Sukuna.
Hailed as the Strongest in Modern Times, Gojo Satoru.
The absolute Strongest... and with it comes an unbearable loneliness...
The two 'Strongest' men, who had both been heavily suppressed and humiliated by Mirai, both revealed genuine, ecstatic smiles at this moment!
It was as if a long-empty emotion in their souls had finally been filled by an unparalleled sense of fulfillment and challenge!
If you had to use one sentence to describe how the two of them felt at that exact moment...
'This is so fucking awesome!!!'
