Itadori Yuji sighed, and then thought about the situation of living under the rule of the King of Curses after he became a god.
He thought and thought...
Hey.
Itadori Yuji suddenly realized with a start:
Isn't this at least better than being under Gojo-Sensei?!
"An-anyway, first I'll go find some Curses to get some points... Oh, Kogane, what can points buy? Explain that to me first."
Itadori Yuji suddenly felt a wave of relief in his body, as if all the pressure had disappeared.
Ah, as long as one realizes that a future of giving up isn't such a big deal, it suddenly becomes quite relaxing.
Itadori Yuji thought leisurely.
Kogane flew in front of Itadori Yuji's face, and from its watery eyes, it projected a screen like a tablet computer.
On it, Itadori Yuji's avatar appeared simply, with his total points, Jujutsu Sorcerer rank, and purchase services written beside it.
Kogane explained:
"Points are omnipotent; you can have whatever you want, but the premise is that you must state it and add it to the Wish List first. Master can click on purchase services, enter your own wish, or search other people's Wish Lists; this can help you understand your opponents."
Itadori Yuji tentatively reached out and clicked on purchase services.
A long list appeared, and because there were so many entries, it was even divided into several pages.
Itadori Yuji's brow furrowed, and he couldn't help but ask:
"This UI is too poorly made. Can't it be separated?"
"Because none of the creators of Dream Walk Migration are UI professionals, there's nothing that can be done about it."
Kogane also sighed.
"Master isn't the first to mention it; Kogane's internal network has long been very dissatisfied with this. Mahito has promised to improve it as soon as possible. In fact, Mahito has already started recruitment, hoping to get help from a UI designer."
"What a makeshift team!" Itadori Yuji complained.
"Because everyone is so enthusiastic, the Wish List has grown more and more in this short time, and the number of people joining is also too high."
"Kogane has internal information: originally, only Mahito and the thousand-year Curse User Kenjaku were in the center of Dream Walk Migration, but because there are too many people, they had to have the Infinite Cursed Energy user Kinji Hakari join as well."
"Before everyone starts fighting, he's using his infinite power to support the Dream Walk Migration barrier that accommodates nearly 5,000 people."
Kogane swayed as it flew.
Though its voice was like an AI, it was gossiping about its superiors with great interest.
At this moment, Itadori Yuji finally realized something.
He said in shock:
"Wait, you're an Intelligent Cursed Spirit?! Not a shikigami?!"
"No, Kogane is a shikigami. Kogane is a barrier shikigami."
Kogane said proudly:
"Kogane was fortunate enough to have Mahito's Idle Transfiguration change its Soul structure as a shikigami."
"Now Kogane can obtain sufficient intelligence by absorbing the remnants of Cursed Energy left behind by various Jujutsu Sorcerers. Just as excessive Cursed Energy can give birth to an Intelligent Cursed Spirit, the Cursed Energy remnants from the battles of various Jujutsu Sorcerers can also give birth to 'me.'"
"Of course, the current Kogane is just a sub-unit of the Kogane network, but as time passes, Kogane will eventually break away from being a sub-unit and become a true individual."
Itadori Yuji looked at Kogane in disbelief.
What exactly is Mahito trying to do?
Before Itadori Yuji could ask further, his expression suddenly turned solemn.
He was browsing the Wish List while talking to Kogane, just like he used to chat and complain with friends while looking at his phone.
He was very used to this behavior.
Then, right at this moment, he saw something incredible on the Wish List.
[Location of Sukuna's Finger: 200 points]
"Sukuna's Finger is here?!"
Itadori Yuji cried out.
"And since this item appeared on the Wish List, it means someone is looking for it?! Who is it?"
Suddenly, Kogane closed the panel and let out a loud, piercing air-raid siren.
"Master! Master! Someone is approaching! Someone is approaching!"
Itadori Yuji was stunned.
Suddenly, his scalp tingled, and an instinctive sense of crisis surged like a tsunami.
A massive amount of Cursed Energy was rapidly approaching.
In just a few short seconds, that massive Cursed Energy had arrived at his side.
Itadori Yuji subconsciously looked up.
A person suddenly jumped down from the rooftop.
Bang!
The person fell from the high building to the ground, causing a massive vibration.
Rubble and dust spread in all directions.
Within this haze, the person slowly walked out of the dust.
"Who is it?" Itadori Yuji asked subconsciously.
"Jiro Awasaka," the person responded in a deep voice.
A man as sturdy as a bear appeared before Itadori Yuji.
He glared with bulging eyes, and on his bald head floated only the character for "Goodness," which looked like a cloud.
"I originally just came to find Sukuna's Finger, but I didn't expect to hit the jackpot."
Jiro Awasaka gave a sinister smile.
"Sukuna's vessel... you are also a good target to kill!"
Kogane cancelled the alarm.
"Master, the opponent for the first battle has arrived. According to the rules, Kogane cannot interfere with either side during combat. I wish you fortune in battle."
Kogane vanished like smoke.
Jiro Awasaka glanced at it and smiled.
"Are you ready?"
"Surprisingly polite, aren't you? I thought you'd be impatient to rush over."
Itadori Yuji assumed a fighting stance.
"Only through a fight to the death can one obtain more points," Jiro Awasaka said indifferently. "Even if a coward's sneak attack kills the target, they won't get many points. It's better for both sides to be fully prepared and use every means in battle; that's the way to maximize points. Trash who doesn't even understand this are only fit to grow weaker as they live and be eliminated."
Itadori Yuji was stunned for a moment, then laughed.
"So that's how it is."
He took a deep breath, his expression becoming serious as he spoke the lines he had wanted to say for a long time:
"Tokyo Metropolitan Jujutsu High School, First Year."
"Itadori Yuji. Please advise!"
Thud.
Jiro Awasaka took a step forward, spreading his hands like a bear intimidating an opponent and making a hugging gesture.
He laughed loudly and roared:
"Grade 1 Sorcerer, Jiro Awasaka. Please advise!"
Itadori Yuji formed a hand seal with one hand and roared:
"Then I won't be polite. You'll be the one to test my growth. Technique Release—"
"Cleave Technique—Dismantle!!"
Jiro Awasaka's pupils contracted.
