The sealing temple.
A few minutes ago.
*Swoosh!*
Suguru stood at the entrance of the temple calmly watching as his curse spirits attacked the temple curse spirits---they where like wolves in a flock of sheeps swiftly killing all the curse spirits that appeared before them, even the first grade curse spirits against two of his own didn't last long.
By his side Sakurako waved her hand and pink sakura made entirely of curse energy materialised.
" Curse technique: the blooming sakura!" The Sakura as if possessing a mind of their own gathered and formed a pink wave---beautiful but deadly every time it passed a curse spirit, like a shredder it shredded it into pieces.
"Curse technique: blazing flame!" Shoma shouted as his cursed energy became a searing bright flame which engulfed curse spirit causing them to shriek and slowly burn away.
Behind the trio, Utahime performed a strange dance enhancing the trio abilities, Shoko who stood beside her pursed her lips silently.
*Boom!*
With a violent explosion, the last curse spirit; a first grade curse spirit was sent flying.
" You guys reseal the finger I need to capture the curse spirits" Suguru said as he walked towards a limbless curse spirit---though the temple had been occupied by 20+ first grade curse spirit, the fight had been too intense and he couldn't even save more than two no less tell the others to help him weaken the curse spirit.
" Hmph!" Shoma watching Suguru back let out a snort and approached the sealed miniature statue.
Gripping a talisman, Shoma cautiously approached the miniature statue and seeing nothing appeared nor happen he sighed in relief before quickly saying an incantation which disabled the barrier and placed the talisman on the statue head causing the malevoent energy which permeated the temple atmosphere to disperse.
Heaving another sigh of relief he intended to carry the statue but suddenly a voice, like the voice of the devil whispered not beside him but inside him,
" Don't you wish to kill him?"
Shoma pupils constricted as he tried to turn,
"Who-
"Shh, don't move or you'll die" the voice said again causing Shoma to freeze.
" I'm not here to hurt you, instead I'm actually here to help you" The voice said and noticing the trembling Shoma added, " Don't worry you can talk to me with your mind"
Shoma though fearful still gritted his teeth and talked mentally, " Who are you?! I'm from the Zenin clan stop this play this instant or if you're caught I won't let you go easily!"
" Heh! Threatening me are you?" The voice sneered and a heavy pressure pressed on Shoma causing him to kneel, " I'm here to help you defeat Satoru Gojo and you're threatening me? Guess you want to forever live in his shadow"
Shoma filled with rage was about to threaten the voice again when he paused, " Defeat Satoru Gojo? You say you can help me?"
" Heh! A mere special grade sorcerer of course I can help you to defeat him!" The voice said.
Shoma trembled, though he felt he shouldn't trust the voice the arrogant look and smile (entirely his assumption) that Satoru had been giving him ever since they arrived in the sealing site was like the spark that burned his anger into an unimaginable degree,
" Tell me! Tell me the way to defeat Satoru Gojo!!"
"Good! Take the finger with the finger defe-no killing Satoru Gojo wouldn't be hard!"
Shoma body trembled violently as his bloodshot eyes stared at the statue but reasoning still held him back, " Consume the finger? I heard that if a person consume the finger of Sukuna either they burst or become vessel for the incarnation of Sukuna, either way I can't have my revenge!"
" Don't worry, that's why I chose you, you're the perfect vessel! Not only would you not burst but you'll also have the power of Sukuna without him controlling you!" The voice said seductively, unknown to Shoma his reasoning was slowly withering away.
Shoma stared at the statue with a hot gaze, " Really? I'm really the perfect vessel?"
" Of course! Why would I lie to you?" The voice said.
" If I consume the finger I can kill Satoru Gojo! I'll become the perfect sorcerer! All would bow before me!" Shoma said as his body trembled frantically.
" Yes! Yes! And then you'll become the king of the world!!"
....
" Isn't he through?" Suguru, already through with his capture of the curse spirits asked as he stared at the trembling Shoma with a weird gaze.
" Something's not right" Sakurako said with a frown, Shoma had at first been squatting then he kneeled down, now he trembled frantically.
Suguru frowned also feeling something fishy, " Let's first take Sukuna finger to the teachers if he is not alright they should talk to him and send him back to Kyoto jujutsu high"
Just as Suguru was about to step forward to carry the statue, Shoma shockingly said the chant again and then tore the talisman before smashing the statue to pieces.
" What are you doing?!" Suguru screamed as he sent his newly acquired curse spirit towards Shoma and feeling a very bad premonition, he summoned his other curse spirit---a 'worm' and scooped the three girls before flying out of the temple through the hole Satoru had created.
Shoma, ignoring the charging curse spirit, took the finger and swallowed it, his deranged expression froze for a second before twisting to arrogance, and markings slowly appeared on his face---all this happened in just five seconds, just as the curse spirit opened it mouth wide intending to swallow 'Shoma', he waved his hand and invisible slashes dissected it cleanly causing it to disperse into pure cursed energy.
'Shoma' calmly stood up and closed his eyes for a while before looking outside the temple with a curious look.
" A pack of insect waiting outside? Quite the gathering" 'Shoma' said, sensing the curse energy outside the temple just then he paused, " Oho, there's actually one who is... interesting"
*Swoosh!*
Suddenly 'Shoma' cursed energy exploded outward and numerous invisible slashes scattered through the temple bringing it to the ground and amidst the pile of rubble and the thick dust cloud, ' Shoma' walked out of the temple arrogantly his eyes scanning everyone present before stopping at Satoru with a blindfold,
" I am Sukuna---the king of curse. Kneel!"
