"The reason insects can exert such massive output, besides their physical structure, is most importantly because their 'weight' is very light."
"If an insect were scaled up to human size, it would be impossible for them to lift hundreds of times their own weight."
"In fact, if they were truly that large, they wouldn't even be able to take a single step."
"The reason why the Insect Armor created by my Construction Technique cannot be preserved for a long time also lies here."
"While wearing the Insect Armor, my Cursed Energy is constantly fighting against the physical laws of this world."
"I must dissipate my own Cursed Energy at all times to maintain the stability of the Insect Armor."
"This is why, even though matter created by the Construction Technique can exist indefinitely, my Insect Armor is a one-time use."
"Was Kamen Rider ever like this?"
"I am still a human; I am a human wearing the Insect Armor."
"But the first Kamen Riders... their physical structure is no longer human."
Mahito frowned.
"No exceptions?"
"Of course not!" Tsumiki Fushiguro asserted.
"But I did it."
"What did you do?"
"I achieved making a body that shouldn't exist endure for a long time, and perfectly matching it with my everything."
Mahito reached out a hand and placed it before Tsumiki Fushiguro's eyes, smiling.
"I created a body that perfectly fits a Cursed Spirit like me, and now... I am right before your eyes."
Tsumiki Fushiguro was stunned.
"You're not an incarnated sorcerer?"
"No," Mahito said meaningfully.
"My body is consistent with my soul."
"That's impossible!"
Tsumiki Fushiguro immediately grabbed Mahito's hand.
Mahito could clearly sense Tsumiki Fushiguro's Cursed Energy invading his body, but he didn't resist, allowing the energy to spread through his interior.
This matter seemed to give Tsumiki Fushiguro a great shock, so much so that the composure she had maintained until now vanished.
She closed her eyes to sense Mahito's physical state, her voice quickening.
"Since birth, the compatibility between a human's soul and body is naturally 100%."
"This is something that has remained unanalyzable since the birth of the Jujutsu World."
"In the Jujutsu World, there once appeared a Seance Technique."
"It allows the dead to possess others, and the person who is summoned also has their own memories and abilities, and can even remember how they died."
"It can be confirmed that it is indeed the soul of a person after death."
"But since it's already possible to break through the realm of Seance Techniques, why has the Jujutsu World never achieved true resurrection?"
"It's because of the compatibility between the soul and the body!"
"The reason the summoned person can exist is that the effect of the technique sustains them, and using the technique continuously consumes Cursed Energy."
"In other words, as long as the possessed person's Cursed Energy is exhausted, the summoned soul will return to death, no matter how unwilling it is."
"If there were 100% compatibility, wouldn't that mean the summoned soul could perfectly use everything of the host?"
"If you can truly create a body in a non-existent state, it means that as long as you find someone to cooperate with you in performing the Seance Technique, you can achieve a divine authority never seen since the birth of the Jujutsu World—"
"—the Resurrection Technique."
This was indeed something Mahito had never thought of; it was just as Tsumiki Fushiguro said.
Perhaps if combined with a Seance Technique, he really could perfectly resurrect someone?
Mahito was a bit uncertain.
Perhaps there would be an opportunity to try it out.
As expected of the strongest Construction Sorcerer in a thousand years.
This was something even Dagon hadn't thought of, yet Tsumiki Fushiguro saw through the possibility with a single remark based on her own understanding of the Construction Technique.
Tsumiki Fushiguro's voice was very hurried at first, but the more she explained, the slower her speed became.
By the end, her voice no longer possessed its usual composure.
She opened her eyes, staring blankly at Mahito, and asked in disbelief.
"How on earth did you do it?"
"Human Transmutation," Mahito blurted out.
Tsumiki Fushiguro became irritable.
Only at this moment did she finally reveal the mad temperament of the ancient sorcerer Yorozu.
She had been so quiet and patient just now, but now she was shouting as if she had a split personality.
She roared in fury:
"Don't joke with me!"
"Do you think I haven't seen Fullmetal Alchemist?"
"I'm telling you, the so-called Equivalent Exchange is bullshit in the Jujutsu World!"
"Human Transmutation is the bullshit of bullshits!"
"In the manga, the human formula Edward used during Human Transmutation was all wrong!"
"Wrong?"
"Was it wrong?"
Mahito really didn't know that.
He was a fake fan; although he knew about Human Transmutation, he had never studied it carefully.
Wait, why did Tsumiki Fushiguro know so much about Human Transmutation?
She even knew Edward's transmutation formula was wrong?
Could it be... she's also an otaku?
Of course, Mahito would never say those words out loud.
"Dagon once said that the development of Cursed Techniques follows the development of civilization," Mahito said unhurriedly.
"The way a person perceives something determines the effect of their technique."
"The manifestation of all techniques depends on the user's perception of how the world operates."
"Miss Fushiguro, in the Heian Era, the Insect Armor was indeed stunning."
"But what if it were placed in the present?"
"Even in modern times, my Insect Armor is still the pinnacle of the Construction Technique," Tsumiki Fushiguro said proudly.
"What about compared to modern ultimate weapons?" Mahito asked.
What is a modern ultimate weapon?
Nuclear weapons.
Only nuclear weapons deserve such an honor.
Tsumiki Fushiguro frowned deeply.
"I just said that the Construction Technique is a technique with extremely low Cursed Energy efficiency."
"Of course I know that if a nuclear weapon could be manufactured, it would definitely be stronger than the Insect Armor, but no one can do it."
"Not to mention how a single person's brain could memorize blueprints that could fill a large warehouse."
"Even if they could, it would be impossible to manufacture without infinite Cursed Energy."
"Besides its extremely strong frontal combat capability, the Insect Armor is also used because of its extremely high efficiency."
"Otherwise, there were Cursed Tools dubbed as Divine Tools a thousand years ago."
"Why wouldn't I create a thousand or eight hundred Sword of Totsukas to fight?"
"Who would be my opponent then?"
"No, there is someone with infinite Cursed Energy," Mahito said.
"What?"
Tsumiki Fushiguro was stunned.
Mahito smiled.
"A third-year student at Tokyo Jujutsu High, Kinji Hakari."
"His Domain Expansion can achieve true infinite Cursed Energy."
"Because he has too much overflowing Cursed Energy, he can even automatically perform the Reverse Cursed Technique, gaining a genuine undying body."
"By the way, he's one of my people now."
"The reason I can confidently go to duel Yuki Tsukumo in a week is precisely because he will hold back Satoru Gojo, leaving me with no worries."
"When he returns, I'll introduce you to him."
Tsumiki Fushiguro showed an expression of disbelief.
In the eyes of this ancient person, so-called infinite Cursed Energy was probably like a perpetual motion machine.
She could never have imagined that true infinite Cursed Energy actually existed.
Mahito said slowly:
"You find it unbelievable that I can achieve Human Transmutation, but little do you know that I feel the same way about you creating the Insect Armor."
"When I first learned you could create the Insect Armor, my first thought was: isn't that just the first Kamen Rider?"
"After talking with you, I became even more convinced of my thought."
"It's as if the lead actor of a tokusatsu show is walking into reality."
"No matter what you say or how mature the theory is, if you stretch the time span to a thousand years, no other Construction Sorcerer besides you has been able to do the same."
"They couldn't do it. Why?"
"Because they also felt your Insect Armor wasn't jujutsu-like, was unscientific, and was incomprehensible."
"What is the difference here?"
Tsumiki Fushiguro said thoughtfully, "An understanding of Cursed Techniques, as well as intuition..."
Mahito nodded and smiled.
"Kenjaku once told me that you said the most important thing for Construction Techniques is intuition."
"As long as the feeling is right, you only need a plausible theory to create substances that don't exist in this world."
"I recall your True Sphere was exactly like that?"
Tsumiki Fushiguro nodded.
"Yes."
"The True Sphere is a legendary existence; it possesses infinite pressure."
"Theoretically, nothing in this material world can touch it."
"Combined with my Domain Expansion, as long as there's no means of neutralization, no matter who the opponent is, they are certain to die."
Unfortunately, Ryomen Sukuna adapted to it in advance and used Mahoraga to destroy it.
It must be said that Mahoraga is indeed the most broken Shikigami in the entire Jujutsu World.
Hundreds of years ago, it could take down a Gojo Clan head who possessed the same combination of Limitless and the Six Eyes.
Hundreds of years later, in the modern era, it can still adapt to space itself.
After expanding the technique, it allowed Ryomen Sukuna to use an unprecedented Dismantle, killing Satoru Gojo in a single strike.
"My Human Transmutation is the same," Mahito said with a smile.
"You find it un-jujutsu-like, unscientific, and incomprehensible only because you lack the means to perceive it."
"Once you perceive it, you can easily change your attitude."
Tsumiki Fushiguro fell silent.
After a moment, she said hesitantly, "Is there any manga where a sword turns into a person?"
"I want to take a look."
Mahito smiled.
"Leave it to me!"
"Also," Tsumiki Fushiguro asked seriously, "which Kamen Rider series are we on now?"
"I want to watch it."
"Right, I remember there's also Bio-Booster Armor Guyver..."
"I vaguely recall something about a Zoalord being able to simulate a black hole?"
Mahito was speechless.
Are you about to undergo a super-evolution?
