"Truly a sentence to wake one from a dream!"
Kenjaku didn't care much.
"I'm not that kind of traditional old fossil. I'm very happy to come into contact with new information, so I also understand what cloning is."
"But an incarnation body and 'cloning' are two different things."
"Cloning requires the target's DNA, but where would a Cursed Object or Cursed Spirit that needs incarnation get DNA?"
"Not to mention that the current stage of medical development hasn't achieved complete life cloning; even if it had, it wouldn't necessarily be as perfect as an incarnation body I've meticulously crafted."
Kinji Hakari put on his beach sunglasses.
"Is that so? Looks like I thought wrong. Mahito, what do you plan to do?"
"This is the best way," Kenjaku said with a smile.
Mahito looked at Kenjaku; this thousand-year-old Curse User seemed to be very much looking forward to him doing so.
This probably didn't come from some special Jujutsu significance; it was just this Sorcerer's bad taste.
Just as he also looked forward to completing the Cursed Spirit Merger, making all of humanity evolve into a higher level of life along with Tengen, he didn't care about the consequences; he just wanted to see what the result of doing so would be.
"I won't do that," Mahito said.
"Why?" Kenjaku asked.
"It's too much of a waste of time," Mahito said.
"A waste of time?" Kinji Hakari lifted his sunglasses slightly.
"You're still in your growth phase. Spending time to create a body that's perfectly compatible with yourself shouldn't be a problem, right?"
"The way you're talking now makes it sound like some huge crisis is rushing you forward, forcing you to grow at the fastest speed possible?"
Mahito praised, "As expected of Hakari, truly sharp."
Kenjaku was disappointed but didn't continue to persuade.
"Mahito's judgment is very accurate."
"If we were to prepare a perfectly compatible body according to my plan, the time required would be measured in decades."
"There really is no time. Mahito, do you have any other ideas?"
Kinji Hakari was thoughtful and didn't press further.
He judged that he had already learned a huge secret today.
Although Mahito trusted him, this thousand-year-old fox might bury a trap for him.
Anyway, there was still time; the remaining secrets would eventually be revealed to him.
"I'm going to make a body myself," Mahito decided.
Kenjaku wasn't surprised, only saying, "It's true your current body doesn't suit you."
"Although it's not as good as reincarnation, if you make a body yourself, it will be more compatible than the one you're using now."
"But you should be clear that this isn't the best choice, but a choice of necessity."
Because Mahito was a Cursed Spirit, no matter how much he adjusted a human shell, it couldn't adapt to a Cursed Spirit's soul.
Mahito already understood this principle.
"No, there is a way," Mahito said with certainty.
Kenjaku looked at him with interest. "Please tell me."
Mahito thought for a moment and asked, "Do you guys know about Human Transmutation?"
Both Kenjaku and Kinji Hakari were stunned.
What Mahito wanted to utilize was the black box of the Construction Technique.
Among all Cursed Techniques, the Construction Technique was the most special because it was one of the very few techniques that could ignore all conditions to construct things from one's imagination.
And once created, they would exist permanently and wouldn't disappear due to the loss of Cursed Energy.
In the original work, the representative figures were Zenin Mai and the ancient sorcerer Yorozu.
Setting Zenin Mai aside for a moment, she completely used her own life to complete the replication of a Cursed Tool, which could still barely be considered within common sense.
But Yorozu was different.
After being inspired by how insects like butterflies and bees mobilize energy within their bodies, she created the heavy biological armor, Bug Armor, with a degree of absurdity far exceeding Zenin Mai.
Zenin Mai at least had 'seen' the process; Yorozu relied entirely on her own 'delusions'.
One could only say that this was the Construction Technique; you had to accept it.
Of course, unconditional imagining wouldn't work either.
Because Kenjaku had taught him everything, Mahito also had a considerable understanding of the Construction Technique.
There was a reason why he hadn't thought of using the Construction Technique to create his own body before Kinji Hakari brought up the concept of 'cloning'.
No matter how absurd the Construction Technique was, it couldn't leave out an important element—imagination.
The Construction Technique cannot create something the user cannot imagine.
Yorozu's peak creation was a sphere called the 'Perfect Sphere'.
This sphere possessed infinite pressure and could crush everything it touched along its path.
And this kind of sphere was a concept Yorozu had received during her education; she completed this concept, thereby constructing the sphere.
This well illustrated the characteristics of the Construction Technique.
It wasn't that you could just think of anything and construct the work you wanted.
You had to have a basic understanding of the creation you were constructing, so you could extract the elements you wanted from that understanding, and only then could you begin to create.
If you couldn't imagine such a thing, you couldn't construct it.
For example, a blade that can cut anything.
You can imagine this blade being able to cut steel, you can imagine this blade cutting mountain ranges, you can even imagine this blade being able to slice a planet open with one strike; then you really can use the Construction Technique to precisely create this blade.
But can you imagine this blade cutting away the concept of lifespan and granting eternal life?
If not, then this blade cannot do it, and you cannot create it.
Similarly, before this, Kenjaku had asserted that a human shell could not possibly adapt to a Cursed Spirit's soul.
No matter how Mahito adjusted a human shell, he couldn't create an incarnation body that perfectly suited his own soul.
Thus, the Construction Technique could never create a perfect incarnation body for Mahito.
This was the reason Mahito had never thought of using the Construction Technique to manufacture his own incarnation body.
He couldn't imagine it.
But after Kinji Hakari's 'cloning', Mahito's horizons suddenly broadened.
Of course it wasn't 'cloning'; Kenjaku had already well explained why 'cloning' couldn't succeed.
What was important was the line of thought.
The Construction Technique was a technique of imagination.
As long as there was enough imagination, even biological armor could be realized, and even the theoretical Perfect Sphere could be constructed.
So, imagine.
Imagine a body of your own.
