Mahoraga's adaptability could adapt to anything, but the versatility for the host was extremely low, because the vessel did not possess Mahoraga's adaptability and in most cases could not be strengthened through Mahoraga's adaptations.
In the original work, during the final battle in Shinjuku, Ryomen Sukuna came up with an idea using Mahoraga's adaptation and used a space slash to cut Gojo Satoru in half.
Under normal circumstances, Mahoraga did not need to adapt to such an extent that the host could not summon it. After all, it could be tamed through the amplitude adjustment ritual, and the host's own cursed energy couldn't be too weak.
But the problem was that Locke's future enemies would only become stronger, not weaker, which meant there would be no upper limit to his combat requirements for Mahoraga, so it would have to constantly adapt.
Now that I think about it, perhaps Ryomen Sukuna in the original work didn't let Mahoraga adapt to other sorcerers to avoid an analogy, because the results of adaptation might not only be ineffective against Gojo Satoru but could also waste cursed energy maintaining the adaptation effect.
And Yuji Itadori, sixty-eight years later, went to challenge the Black Dragon together with Okkotsu Yuta and Dabra because even with Okkotsu Yuta's ring, Okkotsu Yuta's cursed energy could not sustain the Black Dragon's complete adaptation to him.
This also led to Okkotsu Yuta setting a limit on his cursed energy in the first five minutes of the battle and establishing a binding vow to unleash combat power. The Black Dragon was suppressed, but when the time came, it directly exceeded Okkotsu Yuta's cursed energy limit, and he soon died of exhaustion.
Similarly, even Locke, with his division of power, was a little relaxed in front of Mahoraga, who had gradually become a big eater. He didn't plan to continue letting Mahoraga adapt to changes in his body until it showed more, and instead used it for follow-up patterns.
Over the course of six months, Mahoraga's endless adaptation and analysis finally reached the final end of the chakra system and successfully completed its adaptation to chakra.
Through continuous adaptation, Mahoraga successfully derived a set of vein diagrams showing all the possibilities of chakra circulation, as well as a complete chakra operation diagram that was closely matched.
Unfortunately, nearly half of the derived meridians and veins in the diagram did not have corresponding physiological structures in the bodies of the Locke.
After several attempts to test the method, they only regarded this as an adaptation result that Mahoraga could use. They had no choice but to give up, let Mahoraga adapt again, and try those solutions that they could use.
But at this moment, Kagetatsu, who possessed all the traits of the Lockes except for the limited traits, discovered the true nature of this set of vein diagrams due to various skill acquisition bonuses and blessings.
They had guessed right—it was indeed not a chakra vein for mortals.
But they were also wrong—it was actually a chakra circulation route belonging to the Ōtsutsuki clan.
In other words, if you controlled the corresponding chakra nature transformations and strictly guided chakra circulation according to this set of Ōtsutsuki-level veins, you could directly create the corresponding bloodline limit from scratch.
And the only power that the Lockes now possessed with a similar nature transformation was the Shadow Imitation Technique, which had Yin Release as its absolute core.
Where was the boundary of bloodline inheritance that Yin power could investigate?
Penetrating Release, Underworld Release, Illusion Release—and the most extreme embodiment of Yin Release, the crown of all supreme bloodline inheritances, the pupil techniques—bloodline inheritance.
So, in fact, the answer had been before them from the very beginning.
In one breath, Locke used the Reverse Cursed Technique to apply the most arrogant and unreasonable method, accelerating chakra like a tsunami into the chakra veins of the eyes that did not exist.
Tear, expand, reshape, heal.
In just a few breaths, he accomplished an incredible miracle in a cycle of collapse and regeneration.
When the final chakra vein was formed and chakra was successfully operated, a pair of acquired pupil techniques, formed by forcibly overriding the authority of the bloodline, finally slowly ignited in his eyes, dispelling the darkness beneath them.
He immediately activated the Reverse Cursed Technique, and positive energy instantly healed the injuries caused by the expansion of the veins in his eyes. But the blood color beneath his pupils did not completely disappear. A clear white light suddenly lit up in his left eye, and a crimson blood color in his right eye divided his vision in half.
At the moment when the Maga Gurante King, the majestic Earth King like a hill, raised its giant foot and was about to stomp Kagetatsu into a meat patty, everyone's hearts immediately rose to their throats, full of surprise at why he remained motionless.
At this life-or-death moment, a dazzling white light suddenly flashed between heaven and earth.
The moment the blazing white light swept past the viewers, Kagetatsu's left eye suddenly glowed with a crimson background.
The first black magatama lit up in the depths of his pupil, followed by the second and third magatama, condensing one after another.
Three magatama quickly spun in a circular trajectory, creating thin crimson afterimages, and finally merged at maximum speed, hidden within a new pupil pattern that belonged to him and had never been seen before.
The bright light instantly disappeared. When everyone opened their eyes and anxiously confirmed Kagetatsu's safety, they saw that he was surrounded by a giant white skeleton, and a sharp bone palm burst out with unparalleled force, directly lifting the Maga Gurante King.
In the next second, with white bones as the skeleton and sinews as the veins, flesh and blood quickly formed along the bone phase. The white armor layered and hardened. A pure white giant silhouette, towering to the sky, accompanied by a roar and tremor that shook heaven and earth, was rapidly raised and fully formed in the smoke and dust ruins of Shibuya.
The entire Susano'o was always shrouded in a white mist formed by the fusion of spiritual energy and chakra.
The mist rose like flowing clouds, and a holy radiance slowly flowed along the lines of the armor, evoking an inviolable, pure sacred majesty on the devastated, scorched battlefield.

Kugisaki Nobara: "What is that?!"
The two students remaining on the scene watched the live broadcast around Kugisaki Nobara, and everyone was stunned.
Everyone else was still playing village chief armed combat. Why was someone piloting a Gundam? Were they really from the same world?
Just as everyone was bewildered and couldn't understand what to do, Megumi Fushiguro stared at the iconic tengu armor, his brows suddenly furrowed, and he quietly murmured with incredulous surprise:
"Can you help me?"
As soon as he said this, Kugisaki Nobara immediately turned her head, frowning, and pressed him:
"Do you know what that is?"
The surrounding gazes instantly gathered. Megumi Fushiguro shuddered, then calmed down, suppressed the surprise in his heart, and quickly explained:
"I heard the old relic say that Gojo-sensei's Six Eyes were once called the White Eyes. And opposite the White Eyes, there was another family that inherited special eyes, and their eyes were called the Sharingan."
He paused, his gaze falling again on the hardening Susano'o, recalling the old relic's description, while simultaneously being extremely shocked and contemplative.
What kind of era was that buried period?
"The Sharingan, when evolved to its extreme, awakens the Mangekyo Sharingan, which can awaken the guardian spirit residing in the pupil technique—the so-called third power—Susano'o."
