Gojo Satoru's improvised creation, and Suguru Geto's perfect coordination.
They had injured Sukuna.
They had blown off one of Susanoo's massive legs.
Just accomplishing that alone was enough for Mirai to look at the two of them in a new light.
By refusing to designate a specific target for Hollow Purple, they had pushed its destructive power to the absolute limit.
This unrestricted Hollow Purple was even stronger than the one enhanced by Utahime's technique.
Otherwise, Gojo—protected by the Limitless—would never have been injured by his own attack.
Because their cursed energy shared the same source, the damage "Wu" inflicted upon Gojo was far lighter than what the others suffered.
"As for who's the strongest, hard to say…"
Gojo raised a brow toward Sukuna, whose condition was far worse, and mocked him with a grin.
"But the weakest one here…"
"The weakest is probably you, clown-senpai."
Unlike before, Sukuna's severed left arm no longer regenerated instantly. Flesh and blood slowly intertwined as it healed.
Sukuna cast Gojo a dark, sinister glare.
"Heh, brat."
"When it comes to talking big, you really are the strongest."
Without Zenin Mirai interfering, Sukuna had been fully confident he could kill Gojo here and now.
"Domain Expansion—"
The surrounding void rippled slightly.
Suguru Geto stepped out from a spatial crack, appearing far less injured than expected.
Thanks to Gojo's prior warning—and the sacrifice of two Special Grade cursed spirits—
At the instant before the explosion detonated, Geto had hidden himself within the extradimensional space of Cursed Spirit Manipulation.
The original plan of the two strongest sorcerers had been to drag the heavily wounded pair into their Domains at this exact moment.
But Zenin Mirai's strength had exceeded expectations by several hundred million points.
"Domain Expansion: All-Encompassing Myriad Phenomena!"
After adapting to his enhanced body and experiencing death once again—
Suguru Geto had finally reached the pinnacle of his cursed technique and successfully mastered a Domain.
"BOOOOM!!!"
The pitch-black shell of the Domain instantly swallowed everyone inside!
It felt as though time had returned to a year ago—to the horrifying scene of the Night Parade of a Hundred Demons.
The sky darkened.
The streets decayed.
Countless hideous cursed spirits emerged from densely packed cracks in space.
The Special Grade Imaginary Vengeful Spirit, Tamamo-no-Mae Incarnate, floated in midair as the dark vortex spinning behind it continuously compressed cursed energy.
The urban legend Special Grade cursed spirit, Kuchisake-onna, advanced toward Mirai and Sukuna with rusted scissors in hand.
Even Naoya and Yorozu, who had already died, were there.
Construction Technique.
Projection Sorcery.
All of these dead beings were cursed spirits once controlled by Suguru Geto.
The Domain revived every aura he had ever commanded—and each could overlay its own Domain effects.
This was the terrifying potential of Cursed Spirit Manipulation.
The Special Grade cursed spirit Rainbow Dragon carried Geto and Gojo high into the air.
While shielding Gojo as he healed, endless devastating attacks rained down upon Mirai and Sukuna like a storm blotting out the sky.
"Am I beautiful?"
Blood dripped endlessly from the corners of Kuchisake-onna's mouth, split all the way back to her ears.
After asking the question, she immediately pointed her giant scissors at Mirai without waiting for an answer.
Under the Domain's guaranteed-hit effect, she didn't even need to approach her target.
"Beautiful my ass."
Mirai's tone was impatient as the Rinnegan in his eyes faintly gleamed.
"BOOM!!!"
Kuchisake-onna exploded outright, leaving only half a pair of scissors crashing onto the ground.
Everything within Mirai's line of sight—
Every cursed spirit attack before even reaching him—
Exploded into dust.
Even within another person's Domain, Mirai remained overwhelmingly dominant.
The guaranteed-hit effects were neutralized by terrifying repulsive force, and any sure-kill attacks were impossible.
Compared to Mirai's ease, Sukuna appeared somewhat more battered.
He had only just restored his injured body when Geto's Domain caught him off guard.
Not only that—
Most of the attacks within the Domain seemed specifically aimed at him.
Strike him while he's down. Finish him off.
The strongest duo intended to eliminate the slightly weaker King of Curses first.
Naoya's Projection Sorcery made Sukuna feel as though every cell in his body was swelling and convulsing.
The death beam condensed by Tamamo-no-Mae Incarnate poured down like a torrential storm.
And Yorozu's unreal perfect sphere—
That overwhelming "love" capable of erasing all things—
Shot straight toward Sukuna's heart.
"Tch!"
"Cleave!"
Sukuna's face darkened as killing intent surged from him.
"So those two brats really are underestimating me."
"Domain Expansion: Malevolent Shrine!"
Sukuna could sense that the Mahoraga controlled by Zenin Mirai had appeared on another battlefield.
Which meant he no longer needed to hold back his Domain.
The shrine piled high with bones erupted from the ground, shredding every cursed spirit that approached into countless chunks of gore.
The manifested construct of an open-barrier Domain.
Standing atop the shrine, Sukuna grinned ferociously at the two in the sky.
Of course, Sukuna hadn't forgotten about Zenin Mirai beside him either.
Ten thousand slashes.
A hundred thousand.
A million.
Ten million…
Countless invisible slashes beyond the eye's ability to track spread outward from the shrine in every direction!
"Crack… crack…"
Geto's pupils shrank violently.
The outer shell of All-Encompassing Myriad Phenomena was gradually shattering apart.
After only a few seconds of clashing Domains with Sukuna, he was already completely outmatched.
Damn it!
If the Domain broke apart, then without the neutralization of guaranteed-hit effects, both he and Gojo could instantly be diced to pieces by the slashes—
"Don't worry, Geto!"
Gojo slammed a hand heavily onto his best friend's shoulder, terrifying battle intent blazing in his eyes.
Like a complete madman, he laughed wildly.
"After all—"
"—I'm the strongest!"
"Domain Expansion: Unlimited Void!"
Ever since being sealed inside the Prison Realm, only one month had passed in the real world.
But to Gojo, it felt as though he had spent decades trapped within.
During that endless stretch of time when he couldn't use cursed energy, he had continuously simulated stronger Domain effects within his mind.
"BUZZZ!!!"
The instant Geto's Domain shattered, the shell of Unlimited Void enveloped everyone once more!
Standing atop the divine shrine, Sukuna sneered.
"Brat, you're courting death."
Against ordinary Domains, an open-barrier Domain held an overwhelming advantage.
Ignoring Sukuna's mockery, Gojo focused all his attention on the strengthened Domain.
Ink-like blotches spread.
Extreme black and white flickered through the void.
The trembling shell of the Domain rapidly compressed and condensed.
From an outside perspective—
The only ones still broadcasting the battle live, Mei Mei and Ui Ui, widened their eyes in shock before the screen.
The pitch-black Domain shell shrank visibly from the size of skyscrapers down to the size of a palm.
There was no longer any neutralization between guaranteed-hit effects.
The strongest in history.
The strongest of the modern era.
At the moment the eyes of the two strongest briefly met—
Both Domains simultaneously expanded their maximum effects toward the same target:
Zenin Mirai.
Without Mahoraga—already adapted to their Domains—present here…
This was the perfect chance to kill the monster.
Invisible blades filled the barrier.
An endless torrent of information surged through it.
"How touching. You two clowns really do cherish each other."
Mirai chuckled mockingly as the rings within his Rinnegan revolved.
Raising one hand before his chest in a seal, terrifying cursed energy erupted outward.
"Domain Expansion—"
"Demonic Realm of the Inhuman!"
"BOOOOM!!!"
