Chapter 41 - Chapter 41: Domain Expansion — Unlimited Void

At another part of Jujutsu High, three people appeared abruptly. Shoko, along with Naruto and Sasuke who were utterly bewildered, were sent away by Gojo Satoru.

"Why are we suddenly here?"

Naruto looked around at the familiar scene. This was the entrance to Jujutsu High, where they had ascended from earlier.

Unlike him, Shoko and Sasuke both looked worried.

As a veteran of the Jujutsu world, Shoko could infer what Gojo Satoru was doing from his fragmented words.

Was the student named Schwarzer truly just a 'student'? She vaguely guessed her identity; her appearance and Cursed Energy signature were clearly not human.

Moreover, according to Gojo Satoru, she could even 'learn' Heavenly Restriction Cursed Techniques, and had already analyzed the Limitless Cursed Technique.

The more Shoko thought about it, the more absurd it seemed. Limitless Cursed Technique combined with Reverse Cursed Technique—was another strongest individual born? Right before her eyes, and it only took a mere... few hours?

Although somewhat restless, she still chose to stay put and not interfere with Gojo Satoru's battle.

She trusted Gojo Satoru's strength and character implicitly. Even if he usually acted like a slacker, he was a very reliable adult when it truly mattered.

Shoko's intuition told her that Schwarzer was not a bad person. Even after only meeting once, she felt this way, wondering if it was because of her deceptive appearance.

'I hope things don't escalate to the worst-case scenario.'

At this moment, all she could do was pray—pray that her first impression was correct, and that Gojo Satoru's judgment was sound.

Otherwise, a Cursed Spirit that controlled Limitless Cursed Technique and Reverse Cursed Technique, capable of confronting Gojo Satoru, would be enough to overturn the entire Jujutsu world.

Sasuke, whose face was similarly grim, had already deactivated his Cursed Seal form. Normally, Shoko would have dragged him off for thorough research, but now she had no mind to pay attention to Sasuke.

Sasuke, meanwhile, was pondering Schwarzer's true intentions. The power of the Cursed Seal had helped him tremendously; in two days, he had been completely reborn.

As long as he activated his Cursed Seal form and enhanced himself with Cursed Energy, his strength would be no weaker than Kakashi's.

There was no such thing as a free lunch in this world, and he knew it well. The unfamiliar environment of this other world made him instinctively suspicious.

Schwarzer's latest appearance before him made him wonder if the 'Celestial Organization' he suspected had already been formed, and if it was his turn to 'defect.'

By pure chance, Sasuke had guessed a part of the situation, but what he didn't realize was that Schwarzer didn't have him in mind at all right now; everything was merely his own mistaken assumption…

"Boom—"

A violent explosion echoed from nearby, drawing everyone's attention.

The exaggerated commotion brought Itadori's team, who were undergoing ninja training, and their temporary squad leader Kakashi, to a halt. No one could ignore it.

There was no hiding the battle between Gojo Satoru and Schwarzer. Several offensive techniques derived from the Limitless Cursed Technique were all wide-range, high-damage sure-kill attacks.

"She learned Blue and Red completely after seeing them just once? And even independently grasped Hollow Technique: Purple. She's practically drained me dry already."

High above the ground, which looked as if it had been ploughed by a tunnel boring machine, both hovered in the air. Gojo Satoru said, panting heavily. In contrast, Schwarzer's condition showed no change, as if the preceding battle hadn't even counted as a warm-up.

The so-called second round was even more dangerous and thrilling than the previous close-quarters combat. After Gojo Satoru demonstrated them once, Schwarzer, as expected, also began to use Blue and Red to clash with him.

Compressing space for instant movement, the collision of forward and reverse rotations, coupled with two types of long-range Cursed Technique attacks.

The battle suddenly gained several dimensions. If Blue and Red were to hit each other, they could very likely cause an annihilation reaction, forming a self-destructive Purple.

In just a few minutes, Gojo Satoru felt as if he had exchanged blows with her hundreds of times, and even had to use Reverse Cursed Technique to reset his own state just to last through those extended minutes.

From a high-altitude perspective, starting from their battle's origin point, all of Jujutsu High's buildings were destroyed, and even a large portion of the forest was ravaged.

Gojo Satoru had never experienced a battle of such intensity in his life, but for Schwarzer, it truly was just a warm-up.

This was why she had no interest in making a move herself, choosing instead to guide events from the shadows. With the current strength of the Jujutsu world, she could eradicate it all by herself.

But annihilating the Jujutsu world would, at most, be a major incident, and simply leaving with one piece of Core Data was unacceptable to her.

"It's about time to end this. These five minutes of fighting have used up a month's worth of my exercise. You've probably learned enough, haven't you?"

Gojo Satoru praised her without reservation. He suddenly realized that he might find it difficult to deal with the current Schwarzer.

Five minutes were enough for Schwarzer to adapt to his fighting style and to analyze and learn all the techniques he had used.

'In reality, it only took two minutes. Once I grasped the Limitless Cursed Technique, all other derivative applications were very simple to analyze and complete.'

Schwarzer silently grumbled internally. If she hadn't been holding back, afraid of winning too easily, Gojo Satoru wouldn't even have been qualified to 'spar' with her.

"Next is the final teaching. When mastery over one's Cursed Technique reaches its peak, a sorcerer's resolve will resonate with their Cursed Technique, giving rise to the power called Domain."

"A Domain isn't a killing blow, but a manifestation of resolve. But for you, none of that should matter, after all…"

Gojo Satoru didn't continue. He had already understood that all the axioms of the Jujutsu world were ineffective against Schwarzer. If she wanted to, analyzing a Domain should also not be a problem.

Success or failure would be decided in this battle. Gojo Satoru felt an unprecedented exhilaration. It wasn't about abandoning responsibility, but because of the responsibility he bore, he chose to settle the 'outcome' with Schwarzer here and now.

"Domain Expansion—Unlimited Void!"

The pitch-black sphere was the manifestation of Limitless. Gojo Satoru's Domain enveloped Schwarzer, who offered no resistance.

In the next instant, a vast amount of information flooded her mind, and such a deluge—enough to paralyze even a Cursed Spirit—successfully caused Schwarzer's processor to overheat for a moment.

Gojo Satoru had originally intended to step forward and, through contact, make her immune to the information bombardment of Unlimited Void, but then he discovered that she completely ignored this information.

"What a monster."

Gojo Satoru forced a wry smile, a grimace. He didn't know if the 'monster' comment was a compliment or an insult.

Indeed, it was time to end it. The sure-hit effect within the Domain was truly powerful; if raw power isn't enough, rely on mechanism. This was the first 'damage' she had sustained in her battle with Gojo Satoru.

This time, she didn't wait for Gojo Satoru's merely symbolic words. His Cursed Technique information was actually known throughout the entire Jujutsu world, and coupled with Schwarzer enduring the Domain's attack, the analysis was completed with no difficulty whatsoever.

"Domain Expansion—Unlimited Void."
