"Bang!"
Sukuna's arms suddenly exerted force, breaking the suppression of the Sword of Extermination.
He watched the massive creature before him. Not only was its strength reaching parity with his own, but even the angles of its sword strikes were beginning to carry a hint of his own fighting style. A flash of impatience crossed his eyes.
"Though you're a decent toy..."
Sukuna shook his slightly numb wrists as a terrifying killing intent erupted from his scarlet eyes.
"I don't have enough time to keep playing house with you all here."
He knew clearly that if he continued to use ordinary physical techniques and slashes to feed it moves, this monster called Mahoraga might even evolve its adaptation to a level he'd find troublesome.
He had to crush it instantly with absolute power!
"Hoo..."
Sukuna took a deep breath. His hands slowly met in front of his chest, forming a strange hand sign that radiated an aura of endless destruction.
"Domain Expansion..."
The moment those words left Sukuna's mouth.
The air in all of Shibuya seemed to be completely sucked dry at that instant!
A suffocatingly vast cursed energy, filled with pure slaughter and the desire for destruction, erupted from within Sukuna like a volcano that had slept for a thousand years!
"Malevolent Shrine."
"Rumble—!!!"
At that moment, the sky turned a dark red, like dried blood.
Unlike other jujutsu sorcerers, he didn't form a closed barrier.
With Sukuna at the center, the ground began to boil and crack violently!
A terrifying Japanese-style shrine, built from countless massive white skeletons and bull skulls, surged from the earth as if breaking out from the depths of Avici, accompanied by eerie chanting!
This was the King of Curses' miraculous Innate Domain that did not separate space!
Within this terrifying domain with a radius of 140 meters.
Any living being with cursed energy would be subjected to the indiscriminate slashes of Cleave; meanwhile, inanimate objects without cursed energy would be subjected to the frantic cutting of Dismantle!
Furthermore, within this domain, all slashes possessed an absolute sure-hit effect!
"Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!"
The moment the domain expanded.
It wasn't hundreds or thousands of slashes.
But millions of invisible slashes, uncatchable by the naked eye, filled every inch of space within the 140-meter radius in an instant like a doomsday storm capable of shredding everything!
Within the domain's range, the skyscrapers and reinforced concrete bridges that were still barely standing.
Even the hard underground rock layer was forcibly shaved down by a thick layer within that millisecond, turning into dust finer than sand that flew through the air!
"Roar—!!!"
Mahoraga, at the very center of the domain, let out an extremely shrill scream.
Even though it had already adapted to Sukuna's previous slashes, its defense still appeared powerless under this sure-hit domain attack that covered every angle without any blind spots.
"Puchi! Puchi! Puchi!"
Its hard white armor was instantly shredded like paper.
On Mahoraga's massive body, hundreds of terrifying wounds deep enough to see bone appeared in the blink of an eye!
Dark purple blood sprayed in all directions like a fountain, staining the ground a shocking shade of purple.
"Damn it!"
Suguru Geto, struggling to hold on at the edge of the domain, turned pale instantly.
He frantically channeled all the cursed energy in his body, placing those Special Grade Imaginary Cursed Spirits with extreme defensive power in front of himself and the civilians behind him.
"Puchi! Puchi!"
However, those Special Grade Cursed Spirits, usually enough to withstand anti-tank missiles, were easily sliced into pieces like tofu within Sukuna's domain.
One after another, they fell.
A trace of blood leaked from the corner of Suguru Geto's mouth, but he still gritted his teeth and didn't retreat a single step.
"I absolutely cannot... let these attacks reach those behind me!"
On the other side of the battlefield.
"Cough-ack!"
Megumi Fushiguro, held behind cover by Kento Nanami, suddenly coughed up a large amount of blood the moment Sukuna's domain expanded.
As the summoner of Mahoraga, a portion of the terrifying damage the shikigami suffered from being cut a thousand times in the domain was fed back directly into the depths of his soul through a mysterious connection!
"Fushiguro!"
Kento Nanami held the twitching Megumi Fushiguro tightly, his eyes full of anxiety. But there was nothing he could do except desperately use his cursed energy to protect the boy's vitals.
At the center of the domain, Mahoraga was already covered in wounds from the slashes.
The Sacred Dharma Wheel behind its back suddenly erupted with a brilliant white light!
"Clack, clack, clack, clack, clack!!!"
The wheel began to spin violently at an unprecedented, frantic speed!
One turn... five turns... ten turns!
At this moment, the speed of adaptation was forcibly pushed to the limit!
A miracle occurred once again.
Mahoraga's terrifying wounds, which were constantly gushing blood, actually began to heal at an exaggerated speed amidst the sky-filling slashes!
New granulation tissue wove together frantically as if it had a mind of its own. It not only repaired the wounds but even formed a layer of dark gold callus with extremely strong anti-slash properties on the skin's surface!
"Roar!!!"
Mahoraga let out a deafening roar.
It actually braved the storm of slashes that resembled a meat grinder and took a step toward Sukuna beneath the shrine!
And then.
The Sword of Extermination on Mahoraga's right arm suddenly began to vibrate at an extremely eerie frequency.
"Swish!"
Mahoraga swung its sword violently.
A massive invisible slash, even carrying a few hints of the style of Sukuna's Dismantle, actually detached from the Sword of Extermination and flew fiercely toward Sukuna!
It had not only adapted to the domain's sure-hit slashes but had even begun to mimic Sukuna's attack style to counterattack!
"Tch."
Sukuna frowned slightly, casually waving a Cleave to shatter Mahoraga's slash.
He looked at the monster that could still move freely and even counterattack within his domain, the killing intent in his eyes becoming increasingly fierce.
"It seems that with a 140-meter range, the power is still too dispersed?"
This shikigami's troublesome nature had indeed exceeded his expectations.
Meanwhile.
Near the B3 exit, several blocks away from the center of the Shibuya battlefield.
Having just cleared all the cursed spirits and brought Kento Nanami and the surviving civilians back to the surface, Yoru suddenly stopped.
He looked up, his gaze seeming to pierce through the layers of night toward the center of Shibuya.
In Yoru's eyes, having opened the Transparent World.
That massive shrine built from countless white bones and the terrifying web of slashes that filled the entire sky were clearly presented in his field of vision.
"Domain Expansion..."
Yoru's expression changed instantly.
His grip on Shiranui suddenly tightened, his knuckles turning white.
"That cursed energy fluctuation... Suguru and Megumi definitely won't be able to hold out!"
Without a hint of hesitation.
Yoru transformed into a streak of brilliant sun-like light accompanied by the roar of thunder, racing toward the center of the battlefield shrouded in death at his absolute top speed!
"Suguru, you must hold on!"
