While Locke was gaining momentum in the form of a dragging blade, he was also pondering a question: why had Demon Head Kijuro inexplicably appeared in the world of Jujutsu Kaisen, and why did Sukuna and Tengen recall their own memories?
He had initially thought it was related to the future Itadori, but upon reflection, he felt something was wrong. After all, it was clear that in the future, before Yuji Itadori crossed over, something had happened to him.
It was only when he discovered the appearance of monsters that did not exist that he gained a small clue. And after seeing the true nature of these monsters with his white eyes, he dared to confirm his suspicion.
Then, eliminate all the wrong options, and the remaining one, no matter how unbelievable, becomes the only explanation.
That is: whether it was the false memories that appeared from nowhere in the minds of Tengen and Sukuna, or Demon Head Kijuro returning from the dead—the root of everything was himself. It was Kagetatsu.
From the moment he chose the Nishida Kagetatsu character card, the cursed spirits of this world had inexplicably grown stronger. Ryomen Sukuna and Tengen, who were more in line with the form of cursed spirits, also simultaneously appeared with corresponding false memories.
Every time he upgraded, the power of the cursed spirits increased. Even special-grade cursed spirits appeared, almost identical to the eight demons from his memory.
Combined with the appearance of Demon Head Kijuro, he could now be absolutely certain that this world was creating opponents for him based on his memories of Nishida Kagetatsu.
Yes, it couldn't be wrong. All the anomalies originated from himself. His existence had completely disrupted the fundamental balance of this world. All the anomalies and mutations were the world's self-correction, just like everything happening before him at this moment.
Locke's white eye saw everything clearly. The giant egg called Maga Orochi began to frantically accumulate energy the moment all the other monsters died.
In other words, the insatiable beast of greed, the Great Demon King Beast that fed on the entire planet—Maga Orochi—was about to break out of its shell.
Although he wasn't sure how much weaker this pirated version of this cursed world was compared to the real thing, what he needed to do next was always the same—merge the egg with Demon Head Kijuro.
Together, they would crash into the trash.
The moment his mind moved slightly, Kagetatsu's eyes, sitting in the core of Susano'o, filled with crimson. The hundred-foot-tall white Susano'o suddenly burst forth with incredible speed.
Its giant legs, covered in white chakra armor, stomped down one after another. Each step crashed into the ground with a roar, causing all the ruins of Shibuya to tremble under the pressure.
During the earthquake, the scorched, hardened cement ground was crushed by the immense force, leaving huge footprints that penetrated several meters deep, covered in reinforced debris.
The ruins of broken walls crumbled in the continuous tremors, and shattered bricks and dust flew across the sky, making this charging white giant silhouette even more devastating and unstoppable.
It always maintained the charged posture of a dragging Iai blade. The light sword, slenderer than a skyscraper, ran across the reinforced concrete. In its rapid assault, it plowed a terrifying ravine that continued to stretch forward, reaching several meters deep into the scorched earth.
Molten mud and building debris flew and splattered on both sides of the blade. The white light blade, at high speed, pulled a ribbon across the sky and earth. The entire giant silhouette, blotting out the sun, was wrapped in the power to destroy heaven and earth, like a legendary god, recklessly charging toward the giant Maga Orochi egg and Demon Head Kijuro!
The moment the white giant god charged toward the approaching Maga Orochi egg, the giant egg, wrapped in black-red magic, suddenly exploded!
A negative cursed energy that could destroy the world swept across the entire field like a tsunami. The Great Demon King Beast, Maga Orochi, which fed on the planet, finally broke free from its shell.
The grotesque body of a youthful figure was rooted in the ground. Its head, covered in black-red hard armor, suddenly rose. A roar of madness from Demon Head Kijuro tore from its throat. The spikes on its crown suddenly glowed with a blinding electric light, and it opened its mouth to spew a Maga thunderbolt that tore through the sky toward Susano'o!
But facing this attack that could destroy everything, Kagetatsu sat at the core of Susano'o. The white eyes beneath his own ignited simultaneously with the Mangekyo Sharingan, seeing the trajectory of the attack.
With a light mental command, Susano'o spread its giant wings to block the thunder and lightning. The patterned light sword, which had been dragging on the ground and accumulating power, was already charged to its limit.
In the next second, the armored giant hand of Susano'o suddenly applied force!
The blade, which had been buried in the ruins, followed the inertia of its charge, drawing a hundred-meter-long white arc of light along the ground, wrapped in all the power of chakra and light from bottom to top, recklessly completing a breathtaking upward slash!
The heavy blade precisely cut through the weak point of the cursed core of Maga Orochi's jaw. An unparalleled lifting force erupted along the blade. The force, like a volcanic eruption, instantly penetrated the entire body of this Great Demon King Beast.
Maga Orochi let out a mournful roar to the extreme. Its massive body, originally rooted in the ground, was suddenly lifted off the earth by this blade!
The upward momentum did not diminish. The light power on the blade fully exploded, pushing Maga Orochi's body and rapidly hurtling into the sky.
This seventy-meter-long giant was now like a ignited rocket, trailing a black-red cursed flame tail, tearing through the smoke and dust in the sky, soaring into the heavens at an extremely high speed difficult to distinguish with the naked eye.
Deafening sonic booms exploded one after another, leaving afterimages in their wake, exploding circles of white sonic boom clouds around the body. But in an instant, it broke through the thick clouds of the troposphere, leaving only a straight black-red trail in the sky.
On the ground, everyone raised their heads, staring at the black-red trail heading straight into the sky, stunned.
This time, the live stream room went silent. The college students froze in place, their fists clenched in the air, able only to stare toward Tokyo.
Gojo Satoru, who had stopped the storm with his Limitless, removed his blindfold. His pale Six Eyes stared at the increasingly smaller black dot in the sky, and the corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily.
It had completely disappeared from everyone's field of vision.
After all this, the pupil power and chakra in Locke's eyes were almost exhausted. But he understood that he hadn't fully dealt with the other side. So he closed his eyes and prepared to try based on his earlier hypothesis.
If these monsters could appear again, did that mean he could also recreate light from this world? After all, he already had light in his hands.
Thinking this, Kagetatsu converted the remaining spiritual power into light power, held it in his palm, and placed it on his chest:
"Answer my call, man of light."
Just as Kagetatsu called out to the light, the kaleidoscope in his left eye began to spin rapidly, and the pupil technique took form according to his will.
