"Look..."
Mirai looked down slightly at Sukuna, whose face was incredibly gloomy, and said softly, "You've already noticed the existence of the clone in front of you... yet you still didn't pay attention to what was standing directly behind you."
Emerging directly from behind Sukuna was Mirai's second Limbo clone, empowered by the Domain.
The bright purple light flashing in his Rinnegan eyes subsided, but violent wisps of electric arcs still flickered constantly across the surface of this clone's body.
Just one person...
This meant that the 'Strongest' Sorcerer from four hundred years ago, Hajime Kashimo, had already followed in the footsteps of Gojo Satoru.
The speed was so impossibly fast that even Sukuna couldn't react, and there was also the ability to transmit a message to Takako Uro from ten thousand meters away.
All of this was because the battlefield was entirely located within the Kamui space controlled by Mirai.
While temporarily losing the blurring intangibility effect, Mirai had also actively gained near-instantaneous speed within his own dimension.
And he possessed detailed, omniscient information about the exact location of all Culling Game barrier Sorcerers.
Ultimately, whether it was Gojo Satoru or Ryomen Sukuna...
Mirai had always approached them with a playful, warm-up mentality.
If he had truly gone all out from the start, the battle wouldn't have dragged on until now.
He was just patiently waiting... waiting for the Cursed Womb in the sky to fully mature.
"How is it?"
Looking at the dismembered figure lying helplessly in a pool of blood, Mirai smiled and asked, "Are you satisfied with this journey of rebirth?"
Despite being said to have lived for a thousand years, Sukuna had only gained a few brief days of freedom after forcefully taking over Megumi Fushiguro's body.
Calling it a journey of rebirth wouldn't be an exaggeration.
"Hmph... HAHAHAHA!"
Sukuna laughed freely and happily. The advanced, high-level operation of his Reverse Cursed Technique caused his twisted and obliterated four arms to begin to rapidly regenerate flesh and blood little by little!
From pale bones and fascia to fresh blood and muscle!
But the smile on Sukuna's lips vanished abruptly the very next second!
BANG!
The exact moment the space around his shoulders violently exploded, a massive pool of thick liquid splashed out!
It wasn't only his four arms that had just recovered being destroyed again, but also the flesh around Sukuna's slightly open abdominal mouth.
"I've already told you, don't bother with those low-level tricks."
"Using your loud laughter to mask the sound of chanting incantations from the mouth on your abdomen..."
Looking down at the completely mutilated Sukuna, Mirai calmly said, "Your survival instinct is even stronger than I originally imagined."
"No... I'm wrong..."
Facing Sukuna's four ferocious, unyielding red eyes, Mirai calmly changed his tune. "It's not the will to survive, but the absolute desire to fight..."
"Or rather, it's about wanting to shatter my arrogance."
Sukuna didn't argue, but just grinned fiercely and looked directly up at Mirai!
He still had hope!
If the Jujutsu High Sorcerers aren't completely stupid!
Sure enough, another crisp clapping sound came from afar!
CLAP!
...
A fragment of a broken sword at Yuta Okkotsu's feet instantly disappeared, and before his two clapping palms could even fully separate!
Beside him was Yuji Itadori, his face tense, and Choso, his face swollen with concern about whether his younger brother was injured.
And... the solemn-looking Hiromi Higuruma!
As the only Japanese Player remaining who was actively monitoring the live stream, Ui Ui had watched all the matches.
Ui Ui's Spatial Transfer technique allowed him to become a surprise force that could instantly teleport key Sorcerers to any battlefield at any time.
It was also the absolute last insurance policy left by the Jujutsu High faction!
As for exactly when to deploy, that was entirely up to the legal expert, Higuruma, to decide.
When Gojo Satoru fell, Yuta Okkotsu had not yet arrived at the scene.
Faced with Zenin Mirai, who possessed no apparent Cursed Technique Burnout mechanism, Higuruma alone was not confident of saving Gojo Satoru.
But now that Yuta Okkotsu, Yuji Itadori, and Choso had arrived to assist, Higuruma finally had room to perform.
The exact moment Yuta launched the Boogie Woogie technique, Higuruma had already laid out the handprints for the rapid expansion of his Domain!
It wasn't aimed at Zenin Mirai, but completely aimed at the severely injured Ryomen Sukuna!
...
Let's go back to the tactical discussions before the war started.
After learning the details of Higuruma's innate technique, Angel and Atsuya Kusakabe offered several crucial suggestions to the lawyer.
Assuming the battle ended with the 'heroes' losing, Sukuna would undoubtedly be severely injured even if he won against Gojo Satoru.
Higuruma would descend, forcibly pull Sukuna into his Domain, and confiscate his Cursed Technique. With everyone working together, they would easily kill him!
In the second scenario, if Sukuna was defeated and seriously injured during the battle against Mirai...
With the combination of Yuta Okkotsu and Higuruma, before Mirai delivered the final blow, Sukuna would be violently pulled into the Domain, where only his individual soul would be destroyed!
Higuruma's Domain Expansion was named Deadly Sentencing. Physical violence was strictly prohibited for everyone within its territory.
The physical embodiment of the Domain was a solemn, oppressive courtroom scene.
Once the Judgeman shikigami—the Goddess of Justice whose eyes are sewn shut—deemed the murderer guilty of a capital crime, their Cursed Technique would be permanently confiscated!
And Higuruma, acting as the executioner, could obtain the Executioner's Sword!
This was a special, materialized Cursed Tool born of the Domain. If it physically pierced the condemned murderer, it would instantly trigger the concept of "inevitable death"!
At the very beginning of the Culling Game, Yuji Itadori had fought with Higuruma in the Tokyo No. 1 Colony over points.
At that time, Sukuna was still actively lurking inside Yuji's body, and the Deadly Sentencing Domain had already formally sentenced Yuji to death once for the Shibuya Massacre.
Because during the Battle of Shibuya, Sukuna possessed Yuji's body and mercilessly massacred a massive number of innocent civilians.
Now, by simply pulling Sukuna into the Domain, the time required for questioning and a trial could be entirely skipped, and the Executioner's Sword could be summoned immediately due to Sukuna's prior guilty verdict!
It could instantly erase the soul of the murderer's individual life...
It was also the only viable, flawless way to save Megumi Fushiguro!
Without the Burnout period of traditional techniques, Zenin Mirai would absolutely not be affected by Higuruma's Domain.
On the contrary, right now was the best time to instantly kill Sukuna, who was completely disabled and seriously injured.
Yuta, Higuruma, and the others had a very simple, elegant plan!
Eliminate Sukuna's soul with the sword, and immediately let Megumi Fushiguro regain control of the four-armed, perfect Heian body he now resided in!
The Cleave and Dismantle slashing techniques were permanently imprinted on the body's brain...
Once Megumi Fushiguro awakened in that perfect vessel, even if he didn't possess the exact same power output as Sukuna when controlling his true form, he would definitely surpass that of an ordinary Special Grade Sorcerer!
At that time, everyone would work perfectly together, using Megumi's new body and techniques, to deal with the true monster that was Zenin Mirai!
However...
BANG!
Sukuna's mutilated body was indeed seamlessly teleported directly to the group via Boogie Woogie, but exactly along with it appeared...
Zenin Mirai, standing casually on the mangled remains of Sukuna.
"Having desperate dreams is good... but unfortunately, reality is usually quite cruel!"
A sigh of genuine emotion.
After scanning the completely frightened, horrified faces of the group, Mirai's gaze lingered directly on the completely bewildered expression on Higuruma's face.
"I could hear your little legal scheme from that far away."
"After a year of hard work growing my fruit, you cockroaches come here to try and reap the rewards at the very end of the season..."
"Isn't this a bad, illegal idea, lawyer?"
After Suguru Geto's death, Mirai had followed Kenjaku's plan, and his thoughts had actively turned to "the desolate and turbulent world."
The story of the coming year was entirely about patiently waiting for the final fruits to fully ripen.
If Ryomen Sukuna could instantly figure out the physical conditions for activating Boogie Woogie after experiencing it once, how could Zenin Mirai not notice them?
The barrier was now almost entirely physically trapped inside the Kamui Space, and Mirai's physical movement speed within that space approached the speed of light.
Under the watchful, absolute gaze of Mirai, time seemed to violently freeze for a second!
CLANG!
The brand-new katana that Yuta Okkotsu rapidly pulled from Rika's body! Yuji Itadori's incoming iron fist that was mere inches away!
The Piercing Blood lines bursting violently from Choso's two palms! And Hiromi Higuruma frantically preparing to forcefully activate his Domain!
"Roll."
BOOM!!!
With a soft, commanding shout from Mirai, apart from Sukuna who was still being violently trampled under his feet, the other four Sorcerers all coughed up massive amounts of blood and flew backward like broken kites!
Looking down at his feet, a clear look of disappointment and frustration flashed across Sukuna's face.
Mirai chuckled slightly and said, "You wouldn't actually be pinning your hopes of survival on those kids you constantly look down on, would you?"
Mirai slightly pressed down with one foot...
The concrete ground violently cracked and began splitting apart!
Sukuna continued to furiously struggle, his mangled shoulders and legs splattering thick blood again and again!
Mirai leaned forward slightly, a hint of genuine, burning anticipation flashing in his eyes. "Sukuna... the exact moment you finally unleashed the World-Cleaving Slash earlier..."
"You must have felt it too, right?"
