Sakurajima Barrier.
The Kogane in front of Ryomen Sukuna suddenly projected a screen, but what appeared on the screen was not the usual personal profile, but a person's face.
Dark, elegant hair was woven into a ponytail by the young girl. A rounded forehead and delicate features—it was clearly a cute face carrying the scent of youth, yet it was paired with a dignified bearing.
Her name was Tsumiki Fushiguro, the modern resurrected vessel of the Ancient Sorcerer faction.
"Long time no see, Lord Sukuna," she took the initiative to greet him. "It's wonderful to see you presenting such a perfect body. This shouldn't be an incarnated body, but a body restored through true resurrection, right? In that case, you can return to your peak from a thousand years ago at any time."
"You've changed quite a bit, Yorozu," Ryomen Sukuna said indifferently.
"That is probably because I did not resurrect purely with ancient memories like Uraume did."
Tsumiki looked directly into Ryomen Sukuna's terrifying face without fear, her voice as calm as ever.
"When I was awakened, ancient memories and modern memories became intertwined, eventually constructing the current me."
Ryomen Sukuna gave a soft, mocking laugh, thinking of the Yorozu from a thousand years ago.
Back then, Yorozu was a certified madwoman. She did things her own way until she met Ryomen Sukuna. Ryomen Sukuna greatly appreciated her independent nature, and Yorozu offered him her infinite loyalty.
Yorozu was also one of the very few people who dared to stand beside Ryomen Sukuna. The other was Uraume.
A thousand years ago, she and Uraume were the most steadfast followers by Ryomen Sukuna's side. Whether it was her or Uraume, they followed Ryomen Sukuna out of reverence, while others followed out of fear.
If it were the old Yorozu, no matter what request Ryomen Sukuna made, she would surely agree without hesitation.
Even the resurrection of modern memories could not possibly block Yorozu's reverence for Ryomen Sukuna; Ryomen Sukuna was convinced of this.
So, even if the current Yorozu's disposition was completely different from a thousand years ago, Ryomen Sukuna naturally put forward his condition:
"I heard that since your awakening, you have been following Mahito. You should know many of the King of Curses' secrets. Now, tell me all those secrets."
Tsumiki Fushiguro fell silent.
Ryomen Sukuna frowned.
"What's wrong, Yorozu? Why are you hesitating?"
"I'm not sure which secrets of Mahito Lord Sukuna needs."
Tsumiki Fushiguro's voice became somewhat strange.
"Mahito has many secrets, but his growth path has been very clearly made public."
"I remember that Gojo Satoru's secret meeting had already been announced to the world when the Apotheosis Ritual was established."
"Your incarnated body at the time, Itadori Yuji, was also present at that secret meeting."
"You should be very clear about Mahito's path to power."
Ryomen Sukuna really did know.
If it were the Gojo Satoru of the past, he might indeed have carried those secrets alone, leaving everyone with nothing but a confident and extraordinary silhouette.
But the current Gojo Satoru had already been brutally beaten by Mahito once.
In that battle, Gojo Satoru had nearly died three times.
No matter how arrogant he was, he should have been beaten awake by now.
Thus, during the secret meeting, he hid nothing and made all the information public.
The key point among them was his Reverse Cursed Technique application:
Soul Creation.
By recording others' soul information to construct simulated souls, and using those simulated souls to reproduce the Cursed Techniques of others, Mahito achieved an effectively limitless number of Cursed Techniques.
Ryomen Sukuna knew all too well just how terrifying such a power was.
After all, before being thrown into this Sakurajima Barrier, he had been repeatedly killed by various applications of those techniques, leaving him with almost no power to fight back.
If Soul Creation is a blade that severs the neck, then Idle Transfiguration is an impenetrable shield.
One must use a method that destroys the soul to cause actual damage.
If it were only this point, although extremely difficult, it wouldn't be impossible.
Worse still, after obtaining the Soul Creation Dragon Spirit Body, Mahito could circulate positive and negative energy in mutual interdependence.
This meant that even if one used a method to attack the soul and broke through Idle Transfiguration, they could not stop the cycle of positive and negative energy, making it impossible to cause true damage to the Soul Creation Dragon Spirit Body.
So, what should be done?
The solution Ryomen Sukuna provided was simple:
Deal both soul damage and physical damage with enough destructive power to kill the Soul Creation Dragon Spirit Body in a single strike.
Indeed, pure physical damage is useless, as Idle Transfiguration simply does not fear physical harm.
But pure soul damage...
...is also useless.
Because of the positive and negative energy cycle of the Soul Creation Dragon Spirit Body, soul damage will be healed by positive energy, rendering it ineffective.
Only when both forms of damage achieve a one-hit kill can Mahito truly be killed.
Ryomen Sukuna stroked his chin as he pondered these things.
"What Cursed Techniques can Mahito use now?"
Tsumiki Fushiguro fell silent again for about two seconds.
It wasn't until Ryomen Sukuna began to frown impatiently that she spoke:
"Poison Technique, Luck Storage, Strength Reversal, Starry Sky Flight, Probability Alteration, Puppet Manipulation, Crow Manipulation Technique, Instant Movement, Uncanny Valley, Tsukumogami Manipulation Technique, Earth and Stone Manipulation Technique, Flame Release, Divine Might Eye, Fist Fighting Art, Shadow Crocodile, Heavy Pressure, Ama no Habakiri, Cicada Shell Warp, Life-Entangling Shura Silk, Projection Sorcery, Construction Technique, Star Rage, Limitless, Cursed Speech, Resonance, Mutation Curse, and the Ten Shadows Technique."
Ryomen Sukuna's face twitched.
But Tsumiki Fushiguro hadn't finished.
She continued steadily:
"Additionally, besides these Cursed Techniques, Mahito has mastered the Three Great Families' secret technique Falling Blossom Emotion, Simple Domain, the resurrection-capable Domain Expansion Dharma Realm Reincarnation Nirvana Realm, and the Gojo Clan's eye of gods and buddhas—the Six Eyes."
"However..."
"...none of these are his most threatening abilities."
"Mahito's most threatening asset is the unique Tsukumogami in his possession—the Tsukumogami Mirokuji Kirigiri."
"Its ability is Cutting Line."
"Any object that is marked—be it a human body, a Cursed Spirit, or even conceptual things—can be cut down."
"This is a true god-slaying sword."
Ryomen Sukuna began to breathe deeply.
He had personally experienced Limitless, but apparently had not experienced Falling Blossom Emotion or Simple Domain.
He had indeed fought within Mahito's Domain Expansion, but at that time, although Mahito had his Domain active, he had not used its abilities.
Ryomen Sukuna suspected that before the Dream Walk Migration ended, Mahito's Domain Expansion might temporarily be unable to perform more precise operations because most of its power was being devoted to maintaining the Dream Walk Migration.
It seemed he didn't even have the qualifications to let the King of Curses enjoy himself.
"Finally," Tsumiki Fushiguro said calmly,
"Mahito himself has mastered the legendary Profound Truth, Divine Sword Mukū Kūshiki, from the New Shadow Style's Scroll of the Moon."
"Legend says this is a sword that connects to the gods—a sword that can slay gods."
"Mahito combined Divine Sword Mukū Kūshiki with Black Flash, enabling him to use a Fusion Black Flash that has never appeared in the records of the Jujutsu World."
"Its power can easily cut through Gojo Satoru's Limitless and slice apart Yuki Tsukumo's Star Rage."
"On this planet, I cannot even imagine anything capable of standing in the path of that single strike..."
At this point, Tsumiki Fushiguro smiled at Ryomen Sukuna.
"Perhaps Lord Sukuna can break my shallow imagination of this planet."
Ryomen Sukuna was stunned.
"Does Lord Sukuna understand this Dream Walk Migration?" Tsumiki Fushiguro asked.
Ryomen Sukuna walked to the window and looked at the sky.
The azure sky seemed the same as usual, but Ryomen Sukuna seemed able to see a massive force being sucked into its deepest depths, after which an equal amount of Cursed Energy was spat back out.
This absorbed and expelled Cursed Energy formed a new cycle—the natural great cycle of Cursed Energy.
Kogane followed Ryomen Sukuna as he moved.
Then Ryomen Sukuna spoke:
"Ah, I think I understand some of it."
"All the Cursed Energy remnants released by the Dream Walk Migration are recorded in its core."
"That core is the King of Curses' Domain Expansion."
"Mahito is recording the Cursed Energy remnants of all the Sorcerers within it."
"According to what you said, as long as a Jujutsu Sorcerer has fought in this Dream Walk Migration, their Cursed Technique will be recorded by Mahito, and he will reproduce their technique through Soul Creation, right?"
Tsumiki Fushiguro looked at Ryomen Sukuna's profile and nodded slightly.
"Exactly."
"So, although Lord Sukuna asks me about Mahito's current Cursed Techniques and how strong he is right now, I can only answer that I don't know."
"Because as long as the Dream Walk Migration continues, Mahito's strength will grow by the day."
"Even now, the number of Cursed Techniques not yet recorded by Mahito is continuously increasing."
"Lord Sukuna, the final answer to your question is actually this:
I don't know."
