In Suguru Geto's memories, all memories concerning this leader were actually blurry.
It was as if someone had put mosaic over them.
Suguru Geto knew this person existed, but who this person was, what his name was, and what he looked like—Suguru Geto could not remember even the slightest bit.
In reality, this mysterious leader of the Time Vessel Association had not concealed his face. Every time Suguru Geto saw him, he would recognize him. But every time they separated, his memories of the other party would become blurred.
Without question, this was also a very special technique.
Suguru Geto had once tried to break this technique, but it was extremely, extremely difficult. After paying a huge price and gaining nothing, Suguru Geto had no choice but to admit that he was no match for the leader.
He could not even break one small technique of the other party. How could he fight him?
They were not existences on the same level.
This was also the reason Suguru Geto had given up challenging him, because he was far too powerful.
Interesting. Truly interesting.
Rowan admitted that he had been surprised by this mysterious leader of the Time Vessel Association. He even developed a certain interest in him. After all, people all had curiosity.
Why was the leader of the Time Vessel Association so mysterious? Who exactly was he? What did he look like?
These questions were like worms crawling around inside Rowan's stomach, making his heart itch.
No, he had to see this leader with his own eyes.
Rowan searched Suguru Geto's memories for the leader's location, but found nothing. He went over Suguru Geto's memories again and again, yet he still could not find the specific location of the Time Vessel Association's leader.
The leader of the Time Vessel Association had no contact method at all.
Whenever there was a need, he would take the initiative to contact Suguru Geto.
Then what if Suguru Geto had something and wanted to contact the leader?
Very simple. The other party would appear as well.
That's right. Whenever Suguru Geto had something and wanted to find him, the other party would appear before him at just the right moment.
This gave Suguru Geto a powerful illusion, as if the other party knew everything.
No matter what he did, he could not hide it from the leader's eyes.
Seeing this, Rowan raised an eyebrow.
If the leader of the Time Vessel Association was really this miraculous, then did he already know that Rowan had defeated Suguru Geto and was flipping through his memories?
If that was true, would the leader of the Time Vessel Association appear before Rowan?
Rowan looked around. The shrine was completely silent. Aside from him, Medea, Nero, and the controlled Suguru Geto, there was no one else.
"Master, are you looking for the leader of the Time Vessel Association?"
Seeing Rowan suddenly looking left and right, Medea could not help smiling faintly. She had also watched Suguru Geto's memories. Seeing Rowan's small movements, she knew what Rowan was thinking.
Rowan gave a hum.
"Every time Suguru Geto has something and wants to find him, he appears at just the right moment. I suspect he is monitoring Suguru Geto through some method."
"So he should know that we defeated Suguru Geto. I want to see if he'll appear."
Nero looked around, her voice clear and pleasant.
"Umu. I do not feel any extra gazes."
Medea said, "I also do not feel like we are being watched. Do you think he is afraid of you and does not dare appear, or does he truly not know what happened here?"
Rowan shook his head and said, "I'm not too sure either. But I don't think he is afraid, nor do I think he doesn't know. Rather, I think he feels there is no need to meet us."
"No need?"
Medea repeated the words, her expression faintly showing realization, as if she had vaguely thought of something.
"Perhaps that is really the case. Then what do you plan to do, Master?"
"Nothing."
Rowan shrugged and said frankly, "This guy is hiding very deeply, and I can't find him either, so I'll do nothing. After all, the ones suffering a loss right now aren't us. We'll slowly wait for him to make a move."
"As long as this guy makes a move, he will naturally reveal a flaw. At that time, we can follow the clues and find him."
Nero nodded and thought this method was good. When soldiers came, they would block them. When water came, they would cover it with earth.
If the other party made a move, sooner or later they would catch a flaw.
If the other party did not move, then they would do whatever they wanted. After all, they had come to this world specifically to eat, drink, play, and have fun.
"Then how do you plan to deal with Suguru Geto?" Medea asked.
Rowan thought for a moment and said, "Kill him."
When Suguru Geto sent Jogo and Mahito over to seize the notebook paper, he had never intended to let them live.
In that case, Rowan would not let Suguru Geto go either.
What did it mean to be impolite not to return the favor?
This was it.
You already planned to send someone to kill me. If I let you go now, how would I be different from a lunatic? Although he was not a bad person, he was not some rotten good Samaritan either.
Even that old man Confucius said: if you repay resentment with virtue, then what will you repay virtue with?
Killing Suguru Geto was the best choice.
However, before killing Suguru Geto, Rowan used the Copy-Copy Fruit to copy Suguru Geto's technique.
Not Cursed Spirit Manipulation, but Death Absorption. This technique was quite good. If used well, it could play a major role.
Whoosh!
After Rowan finished copying the technique, Nero swung Aestus Estus in her hand and cut off Suguru Geto's head.
Rowan looked around and waited for a while. Aside from the rustling sound of wind blowing through leaves, nothing happened. This made him rather disappointed.
Rowan had thought that when Nero killed Suguru Geto, the mysterious leader of the Time Vessel Association would jump out to stop them.
But he did not.
Looking at Suguru Geto's body falling to the ground with a thud, Rowan could not help sighing.
"Looks like you weren't as important as you imagined. Let's go."
Medea and Nero nodded and followed behind Rowan, walking out of the Curtain.
The group quickly left the shrine without looking back.
Delicious Italian food was still waiting for them. There was no need to stay here and waste time.
After they left,
about fifteen minutes later, a slender figure walked into the shrine and looked expressionlessly at Suguru Geto's separated head and body. He took something out from his clothes and threw it onto the ground.
This thing was pale and white, like a human brain. It looked extremely disgusting.
The brain wriggled, crawling bit by bit toward Suguru Geto's head. It cut open Suguru Geto's skull, took out the brain inside, and then crawled in itself.
If Rowan were here, he would have recognized it at a glance. This mysterious and disgusting brain was Kenjaku, mockingly called Brain Flower.
After Kenjaku crawled into Suguru Geto's head, the originally dead Suguru Geto immediately opened his eyes. His eyeballs rolled around chaotically a few times before locking onto the slender figure.
"Give me a hand."
The mysterious person nodded, picked up Suguru Geto's head, pressed it back onto the headless body, and slowly stitched together the torn places between the head and neck.
A few minutes later, Suguru Geto's body moved. He raised both hands and sealed the cracks in his skull. While stitching, he said to the mysterious person, "After all these years, you finally decided to let me out?"
The mysterious person said calmly, "My plan has been disrupted. I need your help to continue carrying it out."
Suguru Geto—no, Kenjaku—could not help laughing loudly.
"Your plan was disrupted? How interesting. There's actually someone who can disrupt your plan?"
The mysterious person said expressionlessly, "I am not omniscient or omnipotent. This is not the first time my plan has been disrupted. What is so funny about that?"
Kenjaku finished stitching his skull, slowly climbed up from the ground, and stretched.
It had been hundreds of years. Ever since he fell into this guy's hands, hundreds of years had passed. He was almost about to forget what it felt like to be a normal person.
"I can help you, but you have to help me as well."
"So, you're negotiating terms with me?"
The mysterious person was somewhat displeased and frowned at Kenjaku. He hated it when people bargained with him.
In the past, he would have given the other party a vicious lesson and made them understand who was truly in charge.
But now, he really did need Kenjaku's help.
Kenjaku had also seen this point, which was why he dared bargain with him.
"This isn't negotiating terms. It's mutual benefit. In any case, our goals are aligned, aren't they?"
The mysterious person fell silent. After a while, he nodded.
"Fine."
Kenjaku smiled even more happily.
"Looks like the trouble you encountered this time isn't small."
If the person who had disrupted his plan were an ordinary person, the other party would never have accepted his proposal.
The mysterious person nodded.
"That's right. The person who disrupted my plan this time is very troublesome. Now that you have occupied this corpse, you should be able to feel how strong the original owner of this body was."
Kenjaku narrowed his eyes and experienced it for a while, then slowly nodded.
"Indeed. Even across the past thousand years, this guy would still be one of the top jujutsu sorcerers."
"But he was instantly killed," the mysterious person said.
Kenjaku suddenly understood.
"No wonder. To think this era actually still has a strong person who can rival Sukuna. Could it be the Six Eyes?"
In his impression, the only one who could instantly kill such a person was Sukuna, the King of Curses.
And perhaps the only person who could rival Sukuna, the King of Curses, was the inheritor of the Six Eyes.
"It is not the Six Eyes, but he is even more troublesome than the Six Eyes, because the current Six Eyes lost to him."
"Oh-ho."
Kenjaku's eyes lit up.
"To think he can even defeat the Six Eyes. I'm becoming more and more curious about who this guy is. For such a powerful expert to be born in this era is simply unbelievable."
"But he should still not be your opponent, right? Why don't you act personally?"
Kenjaku asked curiously.
Whether it was Sukuna, the King of Curses, or the inheritor of the Six Eyes, although they were genuine major figures and top-tier powerhouses who had once stirred up storms,
compared with the person before him, they were still nothing.
He was the one who was truly invincible under heaven.
