Gojo's domain slowly dissolved.
The space of Unlimited Void faded away, revealing the city once again. The night air rushed back in, carrying the distant sounds of sirens and collapsing debris.
Gojo hovered silently in the air.
He looked around.
Most of the destruction had been contained inside the domain. Outside, only a few dozen or more buildings were cracked or partially destroyed from the shockwaves of the earlier battle.
Expect the crater Sukuna's domain carved into the city once again. There was only a 90-meter hole in the city, but the rest of the city was not damaged.
"…Not bad," Gojo muttered.
For a fight between him and Sukuna, the damage was surprisingly limited.
He stretched his shoulders slightly, rolling the tension out of his arms. The adrenaline of the battle was beginning to settle.
For a moment, the world felt strangely quiet.
Then—
His Six Eyes detected a massive cursed energy signature racing toward him.
Fast. Very fast.
Gojo turned his head just as a blue streak tore through the sky.
Lightning crackled violently around the figure as it shot toward him like a missile.
The blue-haired man appeared in front of Gojo instantly and threw a punch.
Gojo tilted his head and dodged the strike effortlessly.
In the same motion, he drove a full-strength punch into the man's stomach.
The impact bent the air.
The blue-haired fighter was blasted backward, crashing through the side of a building before disappearing into the rubble.
Gojo lowered his hand.
"…And you are?"
The debris exploded outward.
A man stepped out, lightning dancing wildly around his body.
He had a manic smile stretched across his face.
It was not just a femboy, it was THE FEMBOY.
Kashimo Hajime.
Kashimo had been wandering near Tokyo when he felt it—three monstrous, cursed energy signatures clashing at once.
Three different battles.
Three fights were happening in close proximity
Naturally, he chose to go to the strongest one.
And when he arrived…
He saw Sukuna and Gojo Satoru fighting.
So he waited.
He watched the entire battle with glowing eyes.
He watched Gojo's domain barrier as if it were the most important thing ever.
He got excited every time Sukuna attacked Gojo's barrier from outside.
He wanted to fight them both.
But interrupting that clash would've been sacrilege.
Their strength was on another level entirely.
That didn't scare him.
Even if he died in one move, he would've been satisfied.
But now—
Sukuna was gone.
And Gojo remained.
Kashimo laughed loudly.
"YOU DEFEATED SUKUNA!"
Lightning crackled violently around him as he rushed forward again.
"YOU DID IT!"
His voice echoed through the ruined streets.
"YOU DEFEATED THE STRONGEST!"
He accelerated even faster.
"WHICH MEANS—"
He appeared in front of Gojo again, fist already swinging.
"—YOU ARE THE STRONGEST!"
Gojo sighed.
He dodged three lightning-fast punches before driving a Blue-infused strike directly into Kashimo's chest.
The impact detonated like a bomb.
Kashimo flew across the street and slammed into a skyscraper, punching straight through before penetrating multiple skyscrapers
The entire building shook.
Kashimo fell to one knee, coughing blood.
But he was smiling.
Even as he used the Reverse Cursed Technique to repair the damage.
(He might not have RCT, but I will give it to him anyways cause he would be more of a fraud than what he already is.)
"Good," he whispered.
"Good!"
Lightning surged around him as he stood again.
Then Kashimo activated his technique.
His cursed energy erupted violently.
"Mythical Beast Amber."
Electricity burst from his body like a living storm.
Gojo watched him quietly.
"…So that's what you want."
Kashimo didn't deny it.
He wanted a death match.
A battle with the strongest opponent possible.
Gojo glanced around the city.
He didn't want to destroy entire districts after just finishing his fight with Sukuna.
But… He sighed.
Fighting Sukuna had excited him.
Yet somehow—
It hadn't filled the empty feeling inside him.
And now this crazy lightning maniac wanted to throw himself at him.
Gojo cracked his knuckles.
"…Alright."
His eyes sharpened.
"If you're that desperate."
Kashimo disappeared as he didn't even give time for Gojo to speak.
Kashimo's lightning form shot forward at insane speed as he rushed at Gojo.
But to Gojo—
He was still slow.
Bolts of lightning exploded across the street as Kashimo launched attack after attack.
Gojo casually dodged each one.
Kashimo suddenly appeared above him and threw a kick toward Gojo's head.
Gojo caught the leg with one arm.
Then punched Kashimo with everything he had.
The blow launched Kashimo across the skyline.
He crashed through ten skyscrapers in a straight line before finally smashing into the street.
The road shattered beneath him.
Kashimo coughed up blood.
Yet he was laughing again.
"You're amazing," he muttered.
His body regenerated rapidly.
Gojo appeared next to him.
The moment he materialized—
Kashimo attacked again.
Lightning shot toward Gojo from multiple angles.
Gojo weaved through them effortlessly before hammering Kashimo with three brutal punches.
Each strike sent Kashimo flying further.
He crashed through another building mid-air.
Before he could recover—
Gojo appeared above him.
A red sphere glowed in his palm.
"Red."
The blast hit Kashimo head-on.
He slammed into the ground like a meteor.
The explosion carved a massive crater in the street.
Smoke filled the air.
When it cleared—
Kashimo lay in the center of the crater.
His right arm was torn away from his torso.
A hole had been blasted through his side.
He looked eerily similar to Toji Fushiguro in his final moments.
Kashimo stared up at the sky.
Gojo slowly floated down into the crater.
He looked at the dying man calmly.
"…Any last words?"
Kashimo's manic grin had finally faded.
But his eyes were peaceful.
Satisfied.
"I…"
He coughed once.
"Can you show me…"
"…your strongest attack?"
Gojo blinked in surprise.
For a moment, he studied Kashimo's face.
Then he nodded.
"…Sure."
Gojo rose into the air again.
He began to form Hollow Purple once again.
"Phase…"
"Twilight…"
"Eyes of wisdom…"
A Blue sphere appeared in one hand.
"Phase…"
"Paramita…"
"Pillars of light…"
A Red sphere formed in the other.
Kashimo watched with wide sparkling eyes.
Tears rolled down his cheeks.
Gojo continued the chant.
"Nine ropes…"
"Polarized light…"
"Crow and Shomyo…"
"The gap between within and without."
The two spheres merged.
A massive Hollow Purple formed above Kashimo.
Gojo aimed it downward, carefully directing the beam so it wouldn't destroy more of the city.
Kashimo stared up at the swirling purple mass.
His body trembled.
Not from fear. But from pure joy.
"…It's beautiful," he whispered.
The beam descended.
Hollow Purple erased him instantly.
The attack drilled a kilometer into the earth before fading.
When the light disappeared—
Only a massive hole remained.
Gojo landed quietly beside the crater.
He looked down into the darkness.
"…I think Ikuyo said your name was Kashimo."
He scratched the back of his head.
Then shrugged.
"Good fight."
Gojo turned and began walking away through the ruined street.
Kashimo opened his eyes.
He found himself standing in an endless white space.
There was no sky. No ground. Just a soft emptiness stretching infinitely in every direction.
For a moment, he said nothing.
Then he looked down at his hands.
They were old.
Thin, wrinkled, the hands of the man he had once been before Kenjaku made a deal with him.
Kashimo stared at them for a while.
Then he chuckled quietly.
"Heh…"
The sound echoed strangely in the empty world.
"So that's how it ends."
There was no regret in his voice.
No anger.
Only a strange sense of calm.
He slowly pushed himself up.
Kashimo Hajime—the ancient sorcerer who had yearned only for one final battle—looked around the endless white silence.
"Well…"
He stretched his shoulders slightly.
"That was worth it."
The old fraud began to walk.
There was no destination.
No path.
Just a quiet figure disappearing into the endless white, satisfied with the one thing he had wanted more than anything else.
A fight with the strongest.
