On the chaotic streets of Fukuoka, Shin tossed aside the person impaled on his trident who had tried to attack him, then looked at the group of ordinary people armed with guns standing before him.
"I don't get it. If you want money, go to a bank vault. If you want lust, I don't have any to give. Why do you insist on provoking me?"
The people in front of Shin did not answer his question, but instead just screamed hoarsely, "Monster! He's also one of those monsters who can use sorcery, the same kind as the ones who trapped us! Kill him! Kill him!!!"
Shin sighed, "Sigh... It seems your mental state has already deteriorated. Well then, farewell."
Boom... Boom...
Shin threw a series of TNT sticks, creating a violent explosion. When the thick smoke cleared, the group of people who had blocked his path were scattered everywhere. Shin had encountered scenes like this several times already, but every single one of them ended the same way.
...
Meanwhile, inside Shibuya Station, Satoru was walking by stepping on the shoulders or heads of the dense crowd. Those he stepped on naturally cursed and swore, but Satoru simply ignored them.
Through his Six Eyes, he had already spotted several Cursed Spirits standing in the middle of the station, but he did not see the guy Shin mentioned who had taken over Suguru's body.
With a push of his feet, he sent the person he was stepping on stumbling and landed steadily in front of the Cursed Spirits.
Satoru swept a glance over them and said disdainfully, "Is that all of you? A four-armed brute, a withered tree branch, an octopus, and a stitched-up freak. Although this subway station does limit my performance, you lot can't possibly beat me. Where is the guy who took over Suguru's body? Let me test how much of Suguru's strength he possesses."
Sukuna was amused to the point of laughter by Satoru's arrogant statement. Although Satoru's Infinity was indeed overpowered, all four people present could use Domain Amplification. Four against one, the advantage was theirs.
Sukuna said, "You're quite arrogant, Jujutsu Sorcerer. Is it the title of 'Modern Strongest Jujutsu Sorcerer' that gives you such confidence?"
Satoru chuckled and denied it, "It's the 'former' Modern Strongest. That title changed hands a long time ago."
Boom!
Sukuna threw a punch at Satoru, and the battle between the two officially began.
In this subway station, Satoru could barely use any Cursed Technique, because whether it was Red, Blue, or Purple, they were all large-scale attacks that would easily affect the surrounding ordinary people.
Furthermore, Teleportation would instantly crush these ordinary people who were as weak as ants.
As for Domain Expansion, that was out of the question. If he excluded the ordinary people from the domain, they would be crushed into meat paste between the outer shell of the domain and the innermost Curtain. If he enclosed them within the domain, the massive amount of garbage information would turn them into vegetables.
Therefore, Satoru was forced to use Domain Amplification to engage in hand-to-hand combat with four opponents who were also using Domain Amplification.

At the entrance of Jujutsu High, Kenjaku and a humanoid Cursed Spirit beside him, which appeared to be composed of countless black hurricanes, jumped down from a flying Cursed Spirit.
That's right, Kenjaku was not at Shibuya Station at all, he intended to forcibly take Tengen away.
Currently, the defenses of Jujutsu High were still extremely weak. Yuki had been deployed to guard the vicinity of Shibuya Station, and the remaining Jujutsu Sorcerers were also on alert near the station.
Wouldn't it be as easy for Kenjaku to enter Jujutsu High as it would be to go home?
One of the reasons Kenjaku hadn't entered Tengen's lair in previous attempts was that there was no need, and the other was that it was impossible to enter the Tombs of the Star Corridor in a short amount of time.
Tengen's fear of death was on par with Kenjaku's, and the Barrier of the Tombs of the Star Corridor was absurdly difficult to break.
Even someone with a level of Barrier Technique similar to Tengen would need about half an hour to break in. With that half hour, Satoru could teleport all the way from the northernmost tip of Japan to the southernmost tip.
Now, Satoru was held back by Sukuna, and beside him was this new Disaster Cursed Spirit that had been born not long ago. Its second Cursed Technique, born from absorbing the previous human fear of unknown Barriers, was exactly the power to target Barriers.
Break All Barriers!
This was the sole effect of its second Cursed Technique. However, every time it broke a Barrier, it would fall into Cursed Technique Burnout. The stronger the Barrier broken, the longer the Cursed Technique Burnout would last, but using it as a one-time master key was okay.
Kenjaku placed several cursed objects and opened the outermost Barrier of Jujutsu High without Tengen even sensing it. Afterward, he arrived outside the Storehouse without anyone noticing. The Tombs of the Star Corridor was to be entered from the Storehouse, which was Tengen's lair.
After casually killing the guards of the Storehouse, Kenjaku looked at the black Cursed Spirit beside him.
"Tobaki, this Barrier is up to you."
The Cursed Spirit named Tobaki beside him nodded and extended a finger, tapping it against Tengen's Barrier.
Crack!
Fine cracks instantly appeared on Tengen's Barrier, and the cracks gradually expanded until they covered the entire Tombs of the Star Corridor.
Bang!
