Chapter 115: Ryomen Sukuna Descends Upon Orario!
'Thump, thump—'
The next day, Ethan, still asleep, was awakened by a knock on the door.
He slowly opened his eyes and subconsciously glanced out the window.
The sun was already high in the sky, and it was clearly late.
In his arms, Haruhime was still sound asleep.
She slept very late last night.
Ethan put on his pajamas, opened the door, and saw Paimon standing there, with her big eyes fixed on him.
"I'm hungry, Traveler—"
Hearing her words, Ethan was speechless.
How much had she eaten from yesterday to now?
Especially last night, he had given her most of his reserve food, and now it was all gone?
"Paimon, you're a Cursed Corpse, and Cursed Corpses don't get hungry!"
"But I feel hungry, though~"
Paimon said this, and that was what made him most speechless.
You're a Cursed Corpse, Cursed Corpses don't need to eat, how can you have a 'feeling' of hunger?
For Paimon, the so-called 'hunger' was probably just an emotion, not an actual need.
"Forget it, this is the last of the 'reserve food'. I'll go out and buy more later."
"Yay!"
Paimon said happily.
Ethan didn't want to say anything anymore.
Just a little foodie, it's not like he couldn't afford to raise one now that he was rich.
He treated Paimon like a child, so could only pamper her.
"Hmm?"
While retrieving the food from his 'Imaginary Space', he also took out something else, or rather, a Cursed Object.
Special Grade Cursed Object - Ryomen Sukuna's Finger!
In Jujutsu Kaisen, Ryomen Sukuna was definitely a 'ceiling-level' existence.
Even the 'Strongest Jujutsu Sorcerer', Gojo Satoru, was reduced to '2.5 Gojo' in the end.
This was something he had drawn from the Jujutsu Kaisen card pool before, and he had left it in his 'Imaginary Space' and almost forgotten about it.
He had previously wanted to use this 'Ryomen Sukuna's finger' as a battery to sustain the Cursed Corpse's activities, so he wouldn't need to consume his own magic to maintain it.
However, now that cursed energy and magic had fused in his body, and it was no longer pure cursed energy.
Therefore, the Cursed Corpse that Ethan personally created was still a bit different and needed energy different from the usual cursed energy.
His idea of using Ryomen Sukuna's finger as a 'battery' was naturally abandoned.
If it wasn't for this time, it probably would have been gathering dust in his 'Imaginary Space' for a long time.
"Ryomen Sukuna's finger, one of the twenty fingers, carrying one-twentieth of Ryomen Sukuna's soul. I wonder if the black mad can manifest its body."
Looking at this section of crimson red finger in his hand, Ethan had some guesses in his heart.
Black mud can construct flesh from a soul, allowing the servants who have descended to the world to gain a physical form.
Then, as a cursed spirit, can Ryomen Sukuna also gain a physical form?
This was a question worth considering.
However, Ethan didn't want to experiment here.
This was the Tower of Babel, if anything goes wrong here, it would be a big deal.
Living on the upper floors of the Tower of Babel were all the important gods.
The Tower of Babel itself was also the symbol of Orario.
If something happened here, the consequences would be disastrous.
"Paimon, I'm going out for a while. Stay at home and behave well, tell Haruhime when she wakes up that I'll be back soon."
"Okay~"
Paimon, who was busy eating, immediately agreed.
Just like that, Ethan went out the door and went straight to the Dungeon.
This time, he didn't go deep.
He stopped after reaching the third floor.
After all, this time it was just for the purpose of testing, not an exploration of the Dungeon.
Going further didn't have much point.
'Whoosh—'
Under Ethan's control, the black mud flowed out of his hand.
And he threw the 'Ryomen Sukuna's finger' into it without hesitation.
'Click—'
'Gulu—'
Only a moment later, the black mud began to churn, and then gradually coalesced into a human shape.
Ethan smiled after seeing this.
It looked like his guess was right.
The black mud was able to make the Special Grade Cursed Object, Ryomen Sukuna, gain a physical form.
After all, as a cursed spirit born from the negative emotions of humanity, its compatibility with 'All the Evil of the World' would definitely be excellent.
'Swish—'
Just like that, a young man's figure gradually took shape before him.
A strong body, four arms, two faces, black patterns all over his body.
His cheeks extending to his chin, his nose, his chest extending to his shoulders and all the way to his back, his abdomen, his wrists in a circular pattern, and his shoulders, there were numerous tattoos.
At first glance, the figure didn't look like a good guy.
He gave off a very dangerous feeling.
Ethan curiously looked at Ryomen Sukuna in front of him.
This guy wasn't known for being good-tempered.
In Jujutsu Kaisen, he had created many iconic moments, especially with the labels of 'capricious' and 'overbearing'.
Ryomen Sukuna was cruel, cold-blooded, and enjoyed killing.
He especially liked killing women and children.
He believed he was the only one in the world, the most important person.
He only followed his own survival guideline of whether he was happy or not.
He didn't care about the life or death of either cursed spirits or humans.
One of Ryomen Sukuna's prominent personality traits was that he hated it when people who overestimated their abilities and tried to order him around and those who had an overinflated sense of themselves.
Unless he was willing, no one had the right to order or request him.
Although this 'Ryomen Sukuna's finger' was something he had drawn from the system, and the black mud was a part of his abilities.
However, Ethan couldn't be sure if this guy was controllable after he resurrected with a physical body.
If he wasn't, then he was a real troublemaker.
"What place is this?"
A questioning voice sounded, followed by a terrifying malice.
Ryomen Sukuna, the King of Curses a thousand years ago, a demon with four hands and two faces.
At the time, Jujutsu was in its heyday.
Jujutsu Sorcerers gathered their strength to challenge him, but they all failed.
Later, he was given the name "Ryomen Sukuna".
"This is 'Orario', not Japan. You woke up and came to a different world. How does it feel?"
Ethan looked at Ryomen Sukuna.
Unlike the original character, Itadori Yuji, Ryomen Sukuna now had a more arrogant appearance, and he radiated an aura of 'I'm the only one who matters' from the very core of his existence.
"Different world?"
"Yes, another world."
"Is this the ability of your 'Cursed Technique'?"
In the Jujutsu world, Cursed Techniques were strange and varied, good and bad.
Some could even achieve miracles, but the price behind them was too great.
So it was normal for Ryomen Sukuna to think this way.
In these few short sentences, Ethan had already realized that this guy in front of him was probably a troublemaker.
That wave of malice, even though he had helped him regain his body, was still full of malicious intentions.
This guy was probably trying to kill him, too.
