BOOM!!
The earth was entirely covered with thorns, and countless straw dolls stood everywhere with rusty steel nails violently piercing their bodies!
Transparent ripples spread violently across the sky, and hundreds of rusty nails shot straight into the air like missiles!
A clash between two closed Domains!
Nobara Kugisaki stood in a dark, thorny world, with a huge, beautiful black rose blooming behind her!
In contrast, the ancient Sorcerer...
The realm where Takako Uro resided, the Mirror of Yama, was an Escher-esque space entirely constructed from floating mirrors!
There was no distinction between heaven and earth; all around, there was a pleasant, disorienting view of a clear blue sky!
Uro treaded lightly on the clouds, with a transparent round mirror about half a person's height floating beside her!
The frame was beautifully decorated with white clouds and stars, looking just like the Evil Queen's magic mirror in a fairy tale!
Like countless iron nails being fired by a heavy machine gun, they were all instantly absorbed by the magic mirror the exact moment they invaded the territory of Uro's Domain!
The next second!
BOOM!!!
The iron nails, already deeply imbued with Nobara's Cursed Energy, were further enhanced with another massive layer of Cursed Energy by Uro!
Their size completely doubled, and they reflected back toward Nobara's territory with even greater speed and lethality!
Having flawlessly absorbed the memories of her modern vessel, Uro had her own deep understanding of this era.
There was no need to fight desperately against Cursed Spirits every single day, no need to ruthlessly battle with other groups of Sorcerers for resources, no need to live in constant, primal fear of whether she could simply survive until tomorrow.
Most modern humans were entirely unaware of the existence of Cursed Spirits.
Compared to the brutal, blood-soaked era she lived in, modern times were exactly like paradise.
With an air of absolute nonchalance, Uro glanced disdainfully at the three Sorcerers below. "Just a bunch of little brats born into the absolute comforts of modern life..."
"Do you really understand what it means to be a true Jujutsu Sorcerer?"
"Stop lecturing me!"
Slightly out of breath, Nobara roared back, "I don't care about your ancient or modern times!"
"I just don't like you! You ancient, half-naked witch! That's exactly why I wanted to beat you up!"
As figures from a thousand years ago, Angel naturally recognized the true identity of Takako Uro.
Even before Nobara and the others joined the battle, they had already received crucial intelligence from Angel regarding her technique.
Angel and the Jujutsu High staff had given Uro a combat rating of... Special Grade equivalent.
Even among the top-tier classes, there are massive differences in pure strength.
Uro could not reach the absolute, god-like level of Gojo Satoru or Zenin Mirai.
However, in one-on-one combat, no Grade 1 Sorcerer in the modern faction could possibly match her.
She was a powerful existence of the exact same level as Kinji Hakari with his Domain jackpot or Hajime Kashimo in his normal state.
"A thousand-year-old witch...?"
Veins bulged violently on Uro's small face as she reached one hand deep into the magic mirror floating beside her!
"You snot-nosed brat! I'll tear your stinking mouth apart!"
As her palm violently stirred the surface of the mirror, the high blue sky rippled with layers of ethereal folds!
Like a taut curtain being pulled, the distorted space rapidly spread and violently invaded Nobara's thorny territory!
Nobara gritted her teeth and desperately poured all of her remaining Cursed Energy into the outer shell of her own Domain to hold the line!
A Panda crouching down, quietly gathering his strength, and Toge Inumaki curling up, his mouth and nose securely covered...
The boy and the cursed corpse, both fully prepared to sacrifice themselves, gathered absolutely all their Cursed Energy and waited for the exact moment when Uro would reveal a fatal weakness!
The Domain's massive enhancement effect would currently only cause Inumaki's Cursed Speech incantations to be violently reflected back at him by the mirrors.
Only when Uro physically broke through Nobara's territory with all her might would there be even the slightest possibility of affecting her with a word.
Sending these three specific Sorcerers to deal with Uro, who was rated as a top-tier fighter, only showed that the Jujutsu High camp simply couldn't spare any other heavy combat power.
Those Assistant Supervisors who only knew basic barrier techniques would probably be unable to withstand even the ambient aftershocks of this battle if they were sent into action.
CRACK! CRACK!
Nobara's Domain shell, unsurprisingly, began to collapse first under the pressure of the open sky!
Just as Uro revealed a supremely confident expression, a familiar, bone-chillingly cold voice resounded directly within their respective Domains!
"Put down what you're doing and come over to prepare."
The voice of Zenin Mirai...
Panda, Inumaki, and Nobara stared blankly for a moment, a strange, creeping sense of panic rising in their hearts.
Wasn't that monster currently fighting Ryomen Sukuna and Gojo Satoru to the death...?
What the hell happened in those few short minutes they were in the Domain clash?
Uro was taken aback at first, then glared at the three people below her with resentment!
Even though it would only take her one more minute, she could physically tear those three guys to absolute shreds!
But defying the direct orders of Mirai...
Uro voluntarily canceled her Domain Expansion and shot straight into the sky toward the center of the battlefield without saying another word!
...
On the other side of the ruins... an abstract, reality-warping battlefield.
Having already experienced diving in the underwater world, dancing at a neon disco, selling watermelons at the Takanawa Guard underpass, and stabbing people in a Yakuza turf war in Kabukicho...
Dressed sharply in a suit and tie, Takaba and White Zetsu stepped onto the bright stage of a national comedy competition.
The spotlights were flashing brilliantly across the stage!
The judges sitting at the panel were three of the most famous, legendary comedians in all of Japan.
The massive audience below the stage was packed with thousands of people, excitedly holding up glowing light sticks that read "Fumihiko Takaba".
This was exactly the glorious scene Takaba had been dreaming of for his entire life.
Halfway through the performance, Takaba, whose tension had completely eased, once again unleashed his long-prepared lame joke.
"President White! Do you know exactly why Superman wears a tight bodysuit?"
White Zetsu shrugged his shoulders and said with a funny, exaggerated expression, "Maybe Superman doesn't fart, so he likes to wear it tight."
"No, no, no!"
Takaba shook his head violently and waved his hands, then said in a high-pitched, punchline voice, "Because saving lives is... the most important thing!" (Pun on 'bodysuit' and 'important' in Japanese).
Noticing that the audience below the stage did not burst into uproarious laughter as he expected, Takaba panicked and quickly threw out another prepared joke.
"The mushroom was walking down the road when it was violently bumped into by an orange."
"Shiitake mushroom said angrily, 'You blind bastard, go to hell!'"
"Then Orange instantly died. President White! Why do you think that happened?"
White Zetsu sighed, listlessly playing with his nails. "Because the fungus wants the orange to die, the orange has no choice but to die." (Pun on 'fungus' and 'king'/'ruler').
A bead of cold sweat trickled down Takaba's forehead as he stammered, "You... you... how did you know the punchline?!"
"Takaba-san... your jokes are just so incredibly old."
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!!!"
Takaba choked back a sob and covered his mouth. Tears streamed rapidly down his face as perfectly cut diamonds splattered onto the wooden stage with a clanging sound!
After sobbing loudly for three seconds, Takaba suddenly revealed a resolute expression, as if he had absolutely nothing to lose. "Do you know what animal in the jungle is the absolute quietest?"
White Zetsu rubbed his chin, thought deeply for a while, and then shook his head.
Takaba flashed a victorious, wide smile, his grin revealing his seven-colored, glowing teeth. "It's a gorilla!"
White Zetsu asked in perfect agreement, "Why is that?"
Takaba puffed out his chest proudly. "Because when a gorilla gets angry, it will knock on its timbre!" (Pun on 'chest/door' and 'timbre/volume').
"HAHA! HAHAHAHA!"
Exactly half of the audience below the stage burst out laughing hysterically.
White Zetsu glanced at the other half of the audience, whose eyes were full of expectation but who hadn't yet burst out laughing.
White Zetsu raised an eyebrow at Takaba. "Yours won't do it. Let me tell you one."
"A family was sitting on the sofa watching TV when the little girl, mimicking a dramatic scene from the show, asked her father, 'Daddy, where are we going?'"
"Dad ignored her, but Mom sitting next to him laughed out loud."
"The little girl turned to her mother and asked, 'Mommy, what are you laughing at?'"
"Mom's face instantly darkened and she didn't say anything, but the sister-in-law sitting next to her laughed out loud."
White Zetsu handed the microphone to Takaba and asked, "Guess what that little girl said to her sister-in-law?"
Takaba blinked his big cartoon eyes and said blankly into the mic:
"Sister-in-law... what are you laughing at again?"
