A scarred man refused to believe in evil, using the power of curses to enhance his body and embrace the future once again.
The deep blue curse energy surged continuously throughout his body, a powerful aura that only top-tier sorcerers could possess.
It was not just about his future status as a human cub.
Under the protection of the world's top powerhouse, Lingzhi.
He was not moved in the slightest. Instead, he clapped his hands and laughed loudly, as though he found it amusing, like watching an adult play a comedy show with a child.
"Forget it~ Come back, Musashi. Stop wasting your energy!"
The Grand Elder could no longer hold back and ordered the scarred man to return, then turned to look at Mirai, his face full of conflicting emotions.
This child not only possessed the unique and oddly compatible combination of Six Eyes and Ten Shadows Technique, but it seemed like ever since his birth, he had been accompanied by some special protective being—not a cursed spirit, but an entity extraordinarily skilled at concealing its form.
Could this be another shikigami, other than the Ten Shadows?
Or something else...
Should we really send away such a potentially enormous child?
Now.
The head of the Gojo family, the current patriarch, was in deep inner conflict.
With the unexpected death of the previous family head, every decision now rested on his shoulders.
In the future, he would have to come up with a plan that could satisfy both sides, so that he would not dishonor the legacy of the Six Eyes twin children his ancestors had entrusted to the Gojo family!
"Mirai, Mirai... Why did you end up with the Zenin family's 'Ten Shadows Technique'?"
"If it were any other small family, it wouldn't matter even without reproductive technology~"
Watching Mirai run around wildly, the Grand Elder was anxious, his beard graying slightly.
The Gojo family already possessed the unbeatable combination of "Six Eyes + No Boundaries." Every move the family made before Mirai fully matured had to be carried out with extreme caution!
It was like a regular person winning a 30 billion lottery. Walking out of the store, it felt as though everyone on the street was out to extort him, crouching, afraid of getting hit by a car or even being run over!
A small probability event, no matter how unlikely, can still happen!
The Grand Elder stood there, lost in thought.
At that moment, the other Elders fell silent, waiting for his conclusion.
After a long pause.
Eye of Heaven...
Ten Shadows Technique...
Zenin family...
Five sons...
A cuckoo in a magpie's nest—
Suddenly, a brilliant idea struck the Grand Elder's mind!
He burst into loud, delighted laughter, "Hahahaha... Brilliant~ Brilliant!"
Seeing the Grand Elder so excited, the other Elders were left utterly confused.
He just laughed.
The Grand Elder didn't elaborate further.
Straight to the future of the Earth.
"Mirai~ Old man, I will send you to a good place, where—pfft!!!"
Before the Grand Elder could finish his sentence, an invisible force struck him in the face, sending him flying!
He spat out a mouthful of blood, several teeth falling out, crashing through three walls before finally coming to a halt!
"No! No!"
"I don't want to go anywhere!"
"You want to send me away before I'm even weaned? You're such a bad old man!"
"Grand Elder!!!"
Everyone present gasped in shock!
The Grand Elder, now the strongest in the Gojo family, was recognized as the most powerful first-class sorcerer in the magic world!
He hadn't even realized he was knocked down.
Although there was an element of surprise, the attacker was already immensely proud of their feat.
Now.
Lingzhi had become a special shikigami who could hide its true form, with strength comparable to a regular first-class sorcerer.
But what happened next stunned everyone present and delivered them a slap in the face!
From a physical standpoint—
Smack! Smack! Smack! Smack!
"Ohhhh T T"
Under the astonished gazes of the Elders who advocated abandoning Mirai, the Grand Elder was seemingly pinned to the ground by an invisible hand, rubbing him forcefully!
And several tribal leaders who had been persuaded by him weren't spared either.
Suddenly.
The slapping sounds continued.
From now on, when you're in the mood to watch a show.
Even a random Gojo dog passing by will get slapped by Lingzhi!
Thus, Mirai would come to understand the strength of his stand-in, and his place in this cursed world's hierarchy.
With Lingzhi's King Panel, his power was, at best, like a bare Zen Temple.
This didn't even include the "Only stand-in users can observe the stand" iron rule.
Furthermore, Lexus had the ability to shift between reality and the virtual world, with infinite growth potential provided by the showcase.
To put it simply, one word—invincible!
...
Half a day later.
The Grand Elder of the Gojo family, along with the clan leaders behind him, covered their aged faces with their hands, feeling utterly helpless.
Mirai, who had never sucked milk since birth, began to feel hunger.
He summoned Lingzhi to bring him to his mother.
Watching Mirai strangely float in the air, he pushed Gojo Satoru aside and crawled into his mother's arms.
The Grand Elder didn't dare speak a word more, fearing he might push Mirai to the brink, and haphazardly gave Wu Da Niang a loud burp, hoping the future head of the Gojo family wouldn't mess up his mind.
The mysterious guardian that had completely hidden its form since Mirai's birth was far too powerful and uncontrollable!
"He" was a completely new version never seen in the magical world before!
Helpless.
The Grand Elder could only inform the other Elders of his plan to take the magpie's nest, giving them a rough understanding of what was to come…
"Yes, yes, yes~" Hearing the Grand Elder's decision, the Second Elder's eyes suddenly lit up, exclaiming, "Boss, you're a genius!"
"But... will the Zenin family really agree?" the Second Elder worried.
"It's fine, the Zenin family will never resist the temptation of the Ten Shadows Technique!" The Grand Elder flicked his sleeve confidently.
"Why not call that drunkard over? Isn't he always dissatisfied with your 'Strongest Sorcerer' title?" The Second Elder slyly smiled and suggested.
"You mean, have Mirai…"
"Exactly!"
...
Two and a half hours later.
The current head of the Zenin family, Zenin Naoya, arrived at the Gojo family after a secret invitation from the Grand Elder.
"... What?!"
"Only 10 billion?!"
The Grand Elder shouted angrily:
"You want to use 10 billion to bring our Gojo family's 'Six Eyes' back to the Zenin family?!"
"I think you're a drunkard, dreaming during the day!"
Zenin Naoya, after taking a swig from his wine gourd, waved his hand indifferently.
"What do you want?"
"No matter what, the Ten Shadow Technique must belong to my Zenin family!"
"I don't believe you sly old fox haven't coveted my Zenin family's 'Ten Shadows Art'=="
"That child doesn't have any congenital illness, right?" Zenin Naoya asked with疑.
"No, this child is very healthy, or rather, too healthy." The Grand Elder's face instantly turned multicolored as he thought of the wondrous phenomena that would unfold after Mirai's birth.
"Oh?" Looking at the Grand Elder's face, which could not hide the scars and broken teeth from the damage, Zenin Naoya seemed lost in thought.
"I'm not interested in arguing with you, old ghost. What conditions can your Gojo family give me to adopt that child?"
"..."
After a brief silence, Zenin Naoya slammed the table and stood up!
Smack—!!!
"One hundred billion!"
"Deal!"
The Grand Elder agreed readily!
His original expectation had only been 50 billion.
How much more can we squeeze out?
No matter what, from now on, it's ours.
Unexpectedly, Zenin Naoya increased the price by ten times. Zenin Naoya's face also showed a very satisfied expression!
His bottom line was 200 billion.
If it were more than that, they would have to use family funds.
It might raise suspicions.
But it turned out that 100 billion was enough.
"This deal is too worth it!" x2
Both of them thought the same thing.
When Zenin Naoya and his people walked to the place where Mirai would be placed.
The Grand Elder, walking in front without looking back, suddenly spoke:
"That child's name is Mirai. I hope you'll always use that name. After all, he is the future of your Zenin family now, isn't he?"
"Mirai?" Zenin Naoya was stunned for a moment before saying, "Alright, that name is good."
"Zenin Mirai sounds quite nice, at least better than Gojo Mirai, don't you think?" Zenin Naoya said sarcastically.
The Grand Elder remained silent, not retorting.
He feared he couldn't stop himself from smiling and revealing his true feelings.
Now.
Let this drunkard show off for now, they'll have plenty of work later.
The Grand Elder thought with a mischievous smile.
After a few moments.
Suppressing the joy in his heart, he continued explaining:
"I'm sure you understand how important the Six Eyes are to our Gojo family."
"Ah."
This time, Zenin Naoya did not show anything strange and nodded in agreement.
"So, I hope the Zenin family will one day have a genius who awakens only the Ten Shadow Technique. Do you understand what I mean?" The Grand Elder suddenly stopped, turned, and looked seriously at Zenin Naoya.
"Is this also part of the deal?" Zenin Naoya asked calmly.
"Yes, it's part of the deal."
Seeing the Grand Elder's 'If you don't agree, I'll flip the table' serious expression, Zenin Naoya jokingly raised his hands, making a surrender gesture.
"Fine, fine, fine~"
"I guarantee that the fact that the boy has Six Eyes will never be leaked from our Zenin family."
"But..."
The topic shifted.
Zenin Naoya's people began fixing their houses.
"If you Gojo family make any mistakes, don't blame our Zenin family."
"Of course."
