A black kasaya surged forth!
A fierce wind whipped Mirai's long, dark hair into a wild dance!
Mirai turned his head to the side and asked with a light smile, "How is it? Any last regrets?"
"Hah?!"
With his mangled, bloodied body, Gojo Satoru staggered to his feet.
"What kind of tone is that?! I have absolutely no intention of losing!"
Blood dripped and splattered on the ruined earth!
Despite his numerous, horrifying injuries, Gojo Satoru still wore a confident, unyielding smile. "Who the hell do you take me for...?"
"I am Gojo Satoru!"
Mirai stepped forward. "Heh. You're really putting on a brave face."
"Don't talk so arrogantly; it just makes you look weak."
In a daze, the figure of Zenin Mirai in Gojo Satoru's vision vanished completely.
The next second, a whisper exactly like that of the Grim Reaper reached his ear.
"The Strongest... How laughable."
A thick black light emanated directly from Mirai's finger, which was now only half an inch away from Gojo Satoru's heart!
In the instant the black light flashed, Mirai smiled and said goodbye. "Goodbye, Strongest. This warm-up match was quite good."
SMACK!!!
The ray of death pierced straight through the chest! Thick, bright red blood violently gushed from the gaping hole in the flesh!
Looking at Sukuna, who was now kneeling on the ground, heavily injured with a hole in his chest...
Mirai found it slightly amusing. "I didn't realize that you two, the 'Strongest', also had such a deep, self-sacrificing friendship."
Out of the corner of his eye, Mirai saw Yuta Okkotsu, who had just actively joined the battle, and Gojo Satoru, who had been swapped safely away and nearly died.
It was completely clear to Mirai that Yuta Okkotsu had just forcibly swapped the physical positions of Sukuna and Gojo Satoru right before the Night King beam hit!
But that didn't stop Mirai from mocking the other 'Strongest' who had unwittingly taken the fatal hit for his rival.
The Cursed Technique imitation that Yuta just used was Aoi Todo's Boogie Woogie.
A few years ago, Yuta represented Tokyo Jujutsu High and participated in the Sister School Exchange Event in Kyoto. Having fought against Aoi Todo, Yuta had naturally copied this incredibly practical Cursed Technique.
Instead of joining Gojo Satoru and Mirai's battle directly at the beginning, Yuta went ahead to intentionally provoke Sukuna.
The purpose was to bring Sukuna's physical position into the effective range of his technique, allowing him to instantly switch Sukuna's place with Gojo Satoru's.
However, Yuta's hidden secret technique caused Sukuna to suffer a massive loss as soon as it was used against him.
...
"Hehe... this feast is indeed quite impressive!"
The King of Curses possessed a pure malice with absolutely no moral bottom line!
Sukuna, of course, wouldn't be so naive or petty as to turn around and curse Yuta Okkotsu for being despicable in battle. Instead, he grinned maliciously and pounced directly at Mirai!
The distance was finally close enough!
Three massive iron fists, each empowered by Domain Amplification, simultaneously slammed into the invisible Shinra Tensei defense in front of Mirai!
There was no time to repair the bloody hole that had pierced his chest, and the thick, blackish liquid that slid out made the gaping mouth on his abdomen look even more horrifying!
The long, blood-red tongue on Sukuna's abdomen rapidly chanted incantations to amplify the power of the spell as Sukuna attacked!
"Dragon Scales", "Repel", "Twin Meteors."
In the exact instant he finally broke through the repulsive force with his three fists, Sukuna's free fourth hand unleashed a devastating, point-blank slash that had been accumulating power for a long time!
"Cleave!!!"
BOOM!!!
A long, vertical rift in the void suddenly exploded point-blank between Sukuna and Mirai!
The terrifying kinetic energy that erupted in milliseconds violently swept across the heavens and the earth!
Sukuna, who had unleashed a full-force attack, spat out large spurts of blood from both of his mouths like a broken rag doll, and was sent flying backward for over a hundred meters!
And what about Mirai, who faced the ultimate blow head-on...?
He took a small, single step back. A faint red mark appeared on his outstretched palm, but it quickly healed and disappeared.
"Not bad, King of Curses."
Looking up into the distance at the tumbling body, Mirai smiled and said, "It was just a hair's breadth away from cutting off my fingernail."
Two long, deep ravines lay beneath Sukuna's feet, and he barely managed to stop his backward momentum a hundred meters away by using the violent friction of the ground.
Upon hearing what Mirai had to say, Sukuna's face flushed an unusual, dark red.
It was unknown if it was from pure anger or severe injury.
Tears of blood streamed down his face, and a massive, gaping hole ran completely through his chest...
Despite his severe injuries, Sukuna wore a cruel and utterly satisfied smile!
"HAHAHAHA!"
"Zenin Mirai... you are truly amazing!"
The surging, massive amount of Cursed Energy intertwined completely with countless slashes that covered his entire body!
Sukuna laughed maniacally and unleashed his Domain once more!
"Domain Expansion: Malevolent Shrine!"
BOOM!
In an instant, the earth shook violently, and the demonic Shrine, entirely filled with bones, lifted the blood-soaked Sukuna upwards!
First, taking advantage of Mahoraga's absence on this specific battlefield, Sukuna completely maximized the power of the sure-hit spell.
Secondly, to completely prevent Yuta Okkotsu from using the Boogie Woogie position-swapping technique again to escape.
Sukuna, who instantly and flawlessly assessed the battlefield situation, unhesitatingly activated his second Domain.
Within the area of effect, there was a guaranteed hit and a guaranteed kill. Regardless of whether Yuta used the position change technique, the infinite slashes would inevitably hit everywhere at once.
Zenin Mirai was not so easily resolved...
So Sukuna adjusted his output, retaliating with more of his slashes heavily concentrated against Yuta and the heavily injured Gojo Satoru!
...
The overwhelming, incoming barrage of slashes intensified Yuta's sense of crisis!
"Teacher, don't try to be strong right now. At least give your students a chance to perform."
If he had any substantial strength or output left, Gojo Satoru's horrific wounds wouldn't have lingered unhealed for so long.
With a gentle smile, Yuta Okkotsu stepped in front of Gojo Satoru, who was about to force his way in to protect him, and Yuta's own Cursed Energy surged forth!
Bringing his left fist to his right chest, with his thumb slightly extended outward. He opened his right palm outward, with his thumb slightly tucked inward.
Similar to the Dakini mudra of Tantric Buddhism...
The exact moment the absolute storm of blades struck them, a black outer shell of a Domain instantly enveloped the three of them and Mirai!
"Domain Expansion—Authentic Mutual Love!"
In front of Sukuna's majestic, demonic Shrine stood two unusually colored Sal trees.
Legend has it that Shakyamuni Buddha entered Nirvana between the twin Sal trees.
Legend has it that in the center of a river called Hiranyavati in ancient India, there also grew two lush Sal trees.
As a symbol of Nirvana, the two trees originally symbolized one flourishing and one withered, or "four withered and four flourishing".
However, in the innate realm of Yuta Okkotsu...
The green leaves and withered yellow leaves were entirely gone, and the Sal trees standing defiantly in front of the Shrine were strangely growing red, the absolute color of love, and pink, the color of a young girl!
To view love as the world's most terrifying curse...
The twin Sal trees, personified from Yuta Okkotsu's soul, seemed to symbolize the younger version of himself, as well as Rika Orimoto, who never truly died in his heart.
Currently possessing a total Cursed Energy pool surpassing Gojo Satoru's, Yuta was not afraid of being consumed in a Domain clash, and a massive amount of Cursed Energy surged forth!
The falling pink petals inside the Domain seemed to weigh a ton!
The invisible Cleave and Dismantle blades that filled the sky and earth were briefly, successfully isolated from them by the endless sea of heavy flowers!
The guaranteed sure-hit effect of Sukuna's Domain was temporarily negated within Yuta's barrier, but the violently trembling Domain shell showed immediate, faint signs of cracking under the Shrine's assault!
Gojo Satoru stood ready to provide support at any given time.
He would immediately step in the exact second his student's field was completely disrupted.
The next second...
Inside the violently trembling barrier, a familiar, utterly indifferent voice rang clearly in the ears of the three Sorcerers at the same time!
"Have you all made enough of a scene yet?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the original figure of Zenin Mirai shot up directly to Gojo Satoru's side, bypassing Yuta entirely!
Even though Yuta Okkotsu had successfully saved Gojo Satoru once before, Mirai had absolutely no intention of letting go of the 'Strongest' in front of him so easily!
Neither Sukuna's endless slashes nor Yuta's falling pink petals could contain him!
Mirai looked at Gojo Satoru with dead, indifferent eyes and said coldly, "If you have no last words, then you can die now."
"Maximum Output: Shinra Tensei!"
BOOM!!!
The terrifying, absolute repulsive force violently pressed down, and the crushing spatial folds that spread through the area instantly shattered the environment and even reached Sukuna, who was a hundred meters away!
CRACK! CRACK!
Both Domains—Authentic Mutual Love and Malevolent Shrine—shattered violently and simultaneously under the sheer pressure!
Yuta Okkotsu, his face completely splattered with thick, bloody liquid, stared blankly at the mangled figure that had just fallen limply beside his feet...
"Gojo... Sensei..."
