Two and a half hours later.
A 500-meter radius around where Future lay unconscious became a forbidden zone that no one dared to tread.
A tall, imposing, muscular humanoid Shikigami, with the Sword of Exorcism wrapped around his right arm and a mantra wheel floating behind his head, silently guarded him.
He was—Eight-Handled Sword Divergent Sila Divine General Mahoraga!
Not far away.
The Zen'in Family, who were repairing houses and rebuilding their homes, showed reverence, fear, piety, or fanaticism.
They felt honored, and from time to time, they prostrated themselves towards the direction of Future and Mahoraga.
As if that was the guiding star in their hearts.
"Alas...that Future boy has been unconscious for over two hours. If he doesn't wake up soon, my Old Man's leg will necrotize~"
"Hah! Are you so old that you need Reverse Cursed Technique to heal such a minor injury? What a spineless fellow...hiss~"
"Youngsters are so energetic, haha!"
The two bickering individuals were Naobito Zen'in and Zenyatta (Zen'in) Seinaru, who had been flung away like trash by Mahoraga not long ago.
At this moment, their entire bodies were covered in bandages stained red with blood, with no intact spots.
One leaned on a crutch, the other's arm hung limply, as they taunted each other, neither willing to yield...Pain! It was too painful!
A pain like a soul being twisted into a pretzel and repeatedly rubbed!
A pain hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands of times more intense than a faint sadness!
Future's eyelids twitched violently, as if possessed by a ghost!
Sweat, like beans, poured down his forehead as if it were free!
Suddenly.
Future opened his hazy, chaotic eyes.
The pure black opaque contact lenses could no longer conceal the dazzling brilliance of his Six Eyes!
Under the astonished gaze of the Zen'in Family, his body slowly rose from the ground without any support, floating in the void.
At the same time.
Agathos was fully revived, silently appearing from the shadows.
Her flawless, colossal beast form and Mahoraga's majestic, robust figure stood apart, one on the left and one on the right, like guardian deities, attending by Future's side.
An abstruse and difficult-to-understand motto seemed to have been etched into Future's bloodline and genes since birth.
Unconsciously, the youth, wild and untamed, pointed one hand to the sky and the other to the earth.
And slowly, he majestically chanted the message from his mind.
"yata mirror..."
"Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox..."
"Agathos..."
"Eight-Handled Sword Divergent Sila Divine General Mahoraga!"
"yata mirror · Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox · Agathos!"
"Void's myriad treasures, the universe's vast expanse!"
"Chaos of yin and yang, the boundless Great One!"
"Twin Shadows Technique—Achieved!!!"
With wide-open eyes, Future's consciousness returned, and he let out a fierce roar!
Nearly infinite Cursed Energy surged wildly from the entire Jujutsu World towards Future's location!
A portion of it was used to strengthen Mahoraga, a small portion automatically multiplied into positive energy to heal the remaining minor injuries to Future's body and mind, and the majority condensed above Agathos's horned crown!
Old horns fell off, new horns regenerated.
Agathos's original horned crown floated upwards and merged with the massive, almost solidified Cursed Energy.
Gradually.
A magnificent, fiery golden mirror was formed.
It automatically floated above Agathos's newly regenerated horned crown.
It was the absolute defense that contained all attacks and reflected them—yata mirror!
It was similar to Mahoraga's Sword of Exorcism; when not in use, it could actively disappear and only be summoned when necessary.
Thus.
Agathos achieved her complete form, like Mahoraga.
And Future's ultimate form of the Ten Shadows Technique—Twin Shadows Technique—was simultaneously declared complete!
Twin Shadows Technique.
The true form of the Zen'in Family's inherited Cursed Technique, the Ten Shadows Technique.
After the fusion of nine bodies into Agathos, enduring 180 seconds in Mahoraga's subjugation ritual would achieve it.
With Mahoraga's infinite adaptation to all phenomena and Agathos's perfect replication of all phenomena, the caster unifies yin and yang into chaos, thereby achieving 'In Heaven and on Earth, I alone am the Honored One.'
Furthermore, it overcame the flaw that Shikigami, once dead, were difficult to summon again.
As long as Agathos and Mahoraga are not completely annihilated at the exact same moment, both will be endlessly reborn and never perish!
Strong! Too strong!
Future had imagined that the limits of the Ten Shadows Technique were far beyond what was shown in the anime; even someone as strong as Sukuna had not pushed the Ten Shadows Technique to its peak.
But the true power of the Twin Shadows Technique still shocked Future immensely!
It not only escaped the predicament in the original work where Shikigami completely dissipated after death but also fully utilized and unleashed Mahoraga's adaptive abilities while maintaining the powerful strength of the Shikigami's main body!
Being able to kill it once doesn't mean being able to kill it forever!
Not being able to win once doesn't mean never being able to win!
Agathos and Mahoraga are like the Strongest spear and the Strongest shield.
No more words, just one word—invincible!!!
What kind of author's favorite son, Sukuna?
What kind of modern Strongest 2.5 Gojo Satoru?
What kind of millennium old hard coin Kenjaku, the Empress Dowager?
All of you, kneel before me!
Now, he, Zen'in · Ancestor · Future, as the Strongest superman holding the director's rights to the script, can do whatever he wants from now on!
Woohoo~ Take off!
His thoughts surged, and his little head rubbed comfortably against his side. Future, carried in a princess hug by Rekseus, floated in mid-air, actually feeling a bit reluctant to land.
It's really good~ Floating in the sky is really good~
Ah~ The wind is very noisy today~
Just then.
A jarring, dry voice howled from below.
Inappropriately disturbing Future's harmonious atmosphere of self-admiration.
"Future~ Stop showing off!"
"Mieko called you down for dinner, and also to heal my Old Man's leg!"
Whoosh—
Future slowly descended to the ground in response.
Agathos and Mahoraga stood silently on his left and right.
"Gulp..."
Swallowing a mouthful of saliva, Naobito Zen'in, enduring the pressure from the two great Shikigami behind Future, came up to him with a fawning expression and said awkwardly, "Future~ these two Shikigami—"
"I'm not happy, no comment!"
"Uh, then what about my leg..."
Looking up at Naobito Zen'in's old, smelly leg and Zenyatta (Zen'in) Seinaru's broken arm hanging limply not far away.
Future didn't say anything, merely raised an eyebrow, signaling Agathos to handle it as she saw fit.
Nodding slightly.
Agathos's massive beast form gracefully stepped forward.
She condensed a soft, forest-green energy in her palm.
Then, with a backhand, she delivered a mighty slap that sent Naobito Zen'in flying!
Afterward.
After normally healing Zenyatta (Zen'in) Seinaru's arm.
Future hummed the "Slap Song" and left the ruins, happily heading to his soft, comforting 'nanny.'
"La la la~ la la la~"
"I'm a little expert at slapping~"
"Every day I work hard delivering big slaps~"
"Some cry~ some laugh~"
"Today's slap was really satisfying~"
As he passed the edge of the ruins.
Suddenly, a barely audible, faint cry for help reached Future's ears.
"Help...help..."
"Hmm?"
He let out a soft sound of inquiry.
Future summoned Mahoraga.
He had It pull out a lump from the ruins that could vaguely be identified as human-shaped excrement.
It seemed to be Ogi Zen'in.
He wasn't dead yet?
He certainly had a strong will to live!
The figures of a certain pair of ill-fated sisters from the original work flashed through his mind.
Future stroked his chin, musing, 'Forget it, for the sake of the yet-to-be-born Mai and Maki, I'll spare this stud pig's life for now.'
