Darkness slowly receded from his vision, immediately followed by a loud shout.
At first, words were unrecognizable to him due to his dizzy mind and consciousness. Soon, he understood those words.
Just as his state of mind became more calm, he remembered the unresolved things he had to finish.
He tried to recall his memories like where he was and what was currently happening. According to him, he was with Yahaech and other six eye users where he had spent a few hours.
Then a question arose: why was he actually there? This made him think more deeply and soon he realized that he was severely injured by Dabura and now was in hospital somehow.
He could clearly feel that his body was in better condition, and his breathing was also steady and well-placed.
Hojo felt relieved that he was out of danger for now.
Wait…! Scenes of his fight with Dabura moved before his eyes and he remembered that his leg was severed.
He tried to raise his body to stand, but the pain in his muscles pulled him back. It seemed like he was still recovering.
After a few failed attempts, he stopped trying and began staring at the ceiling.
'I am still weaker compared to others.'
He thought, comparing himself to the other six eye users.
By now, he should be stronger after his awakening as Yahaech had told him. So why is he still weak?
He was thinking this when someone entered the room. Maybe he was in such a hurry that he even forgot to close the door.
"Soon, you will be fine. Your legs were cut but we healed it by Reverse Cursed Technique."
Hojo remembered this voice. He was Ronnie who brought him here to the hospital. It was a private hospital of Jujutsu Headquarters, so healing a severed leg might not be that hard here.
"H—How much time has passed?"
"Two hours from the moment I brought you here."
Just as Hojo had expected, the time here was flowing at a slower pace compared to Yahaech's domain.
"That—demon Dabura, is he still rampaging through the city?"
Hojo's words came out slowly as he tried to somehow speak them, despite his paining throat.
"I saw him unconscious, so I doubt he is. I would've killed that bastard on the spot, if I didn't have to bring you here for treatment."
Ronnie's expressions stiffened on hearing the name of Dabura. If Hojo were not to fight him, no one would be able to stop him.
This was certain. Yet, that monster managed to damage Hojo to the extent of being almost dead.
"You rest here. I've got some work to do."
Ronnie left the room after saying this. He was the only one who came to see Hojo as everyone was busy in this damn war.
Hojo was looking at the ceiling as he was immersed in his thoughts when suddenly his body started to give a faint glow, followed by sudden pain in his eyes.
His hands instinctively jerked toward his eyes to press down on them to reduce pain as much as possible.
Something similar had happened to him when Yahaech pressed his index fingers into his eyes.
But why were his eyes paining suddenly out of nowhere?
This was unknown until something strange started to happen inside his body.
Hojo felt his cursed energy increasing exponentially at tremendous rate, filling his every vein with enough energy to explode his body.
The room immediately got full of cursed energy, even escaping the entire hospital to the road and surrounding buildings.
This didn't stop, it continued and continued to increase.
Colour of the air had already changed to the bluish crimson in large concentration which reduced the visibility inside the whole hospital significantly.
Those humans who couldn't sense cursed energy, now could easily see the cursed energy escaping through the gates and windows of hospital like a spreading inferno.
It was hard to say if this worsened the health condition of Hojo or not.
After about two minutes, his cursed energy stopped increasing, and soon the pain also faded away from his eyes.
Up until now, everyone inside the hospital has become unconscious and those in surroundings of the hospital weren't in good condition either.
All the cursed spirit and sorcerer have already noticed this godly presence.
Energy surged inside Hojo and he felt refreshed. He immediately got up from the bed and ran into the corridor.
His awakening was now showing effect in the real world. Few memories were pouring inside his brain and he quickly learnt many techniques and how to control the cursed energy efficiently.
What others took decades, Hojo did that in mere seconds thanks to the Yahaech who gave few of the memories of six eye users to him for free.
These memories also included the experiences of many years. It was much like a cheat skill Hojo just got his hands on.
He tried to control the flow of cursed energy inside his body. His breathing slowed down and he loosened it for a moment.
He could feel the flow of blood and his heart beating again and again in set intervals.
He focused more and then sensed the cursed energy channels. He tightened them and the unnecessary leaking of cursed energy stopped.
He was getting pleasure every time he gazed more deep inside himself. From body to cursed energy channels and then to soul, he sensed his all existence.
All while running. This was the magic of the true six eyes he had.
Everytime he used his cursed energy, his eyes radiated with iridescent rainbow coloured light.
He now had the most beautiful eyes in the world. Like a small galaxy fitted inside his eyeballs.
He stopped in the main hall of the hospital and everyone was unconscious here. All doctors, nurses, receptionist and even a few low grade sorcerers.
Hojo looked if someone was still in condition to talk to him but it seemed that all of them were in short slumber.
He had to find the three dead bodies as soon as possible.
That's why he was searching for a mortuary. But how was he supposed to find it in this large hospital?
This wasn't impossible but time taking. And time was now most important.
Responding to Hojo's will, he felt like he could now see behind the walls.
As time passed, the sensation of the world around him was increasing. He could feel the interaction of particles, four fundamental forces of nature, unnecessary quantum noises and fluctuations.
His awareness of his surroundings was maximum in the range of fifty meters.
He moved randomly through hospital and thanks to his awareness and six eyes, he soon found the mortuary.
The door was locked. He flickered his finger and the lock dropped on the ground.
Hojo rushed inside it and took three separate bodies out of the refrigerator.
Then, as Yahaech had instructed him to do, he pressed his index fingers into the eyes of each body and thought about who to summon.
After this, he stood at a distance from them.
'Will it work? I don't think I made any mistake.'
Hojo thought as there was no effect on dead bodies. They remained lifeless and cold.
"It didn't work."
After waiting for five minutes, Hojo rejected this idea and was going out of the room when he suddenly heard a familiar voice from behind.
"You think you are stronger than me?"
