Chapter 573: The Disappearance of All Cursed Energy! A Worldly Restriction!
Although she didn't understand what Jujutsu was, using words like 'assimilation' and 'consumable' to describe a person was not good. It was like a cult sacrificing living people. "How can this be? Humans are not items! Ren-kun, can we help her?" Mitsuha was indignant.
"If Mitsuha-chan wants to, then let's help." This was his special, doting care.
"Huh?" Hearing this, Amanai Riko reacted with confusion. Gojo and Geto assumed their stances.
"You two, it's best not to interfere. Although I also dislike the assimilation ritual, our mission is to protect her," Gojo calmly mentioned the Jujutsu world, hoping to dissuade him.
Ren scoffed. "Protection? You mean protecting her from others, only to sacrifice her life in the end? This is just protecting a traded item. To think you can threaten me with the Jujutsu world… you think too highly of it."
Under the blaring alarm bells of their premonitions, Ren raised his hand and snapped his fingers. "Do you want to try using a Cursed Technique?" he asked, mockingly gesturing for them to try.
"What nonsense are you spouting? Cursed Spirit Manipulation!" Geto disliked being underestimated and immediately chose to form a technique. Suddenly, his expression changed. "Why can't I sense any Cursed Energy?"
Gojo's expression had already turned grave. "No, Geto… I can't sense it. My Six Eyes can't see it. My Limitless has disappeared. Cursed Energy… it's completely gone!!"
"Yes, Cursed Energy has vanished from this world," Ren explained unhurriedly, incidentally stepping on Tengen. "Your so-called Master, without Cursed Energy, should be completely dead by now."
"Don't talk nonsense!" Geto refused to believe it and continued to try.
Gojo was much calmer. He simply stared directly at Ren. "What do you want?"
"A good question," Ren curved his lips, putting his arm around Mitsuha. "Can't you tell? As a good man who dotes on his girlfriend, I just want to make her smile. Mitsuha, how about it? I directly eliminated the source. Are you happier?"
He showed no embarrassment. Mitsuha, however, blushed and could only nod softly. "Mm, very happy."
"Any reward?"
"Oh, there is." She stood on tiptoe and lightly kissed his cheek.
"!!!" Amanai Riko, who had been dumbfounded, widened her eyes. Is this love? She was incredibly envious.
"Mitsuha, what should we do?"
Without hesitation, she pulled Riko to her side. "Just make sure they don't harass her anymore and don't perform any more sacrifice rituals."
"Did you two hear that?" Ren prompted.
"…" They fell silent. If Cursed Energy truly disappeared and Tengen died, what was the purpose of a Star Plasma Vessel? The entire Jujutsu world would be gone.
"Never mind. You two go back and discuss it slowly. Whenever you come up with an answer, the restriction will disappear. If anyone dares to harm Amanai Riko, the entire Jujutsu world will be buried with her. You can try if you don't believe me." He wasn't idle enough to wait here. The restriction had been set.
With that, he left with Mitsuha, who also pulled the bewildered Riko away. "Finally, a warning: don't be so narrow-minded. This world isn't just about Cursed Energy."
All that was left for Gojo and Geto was a warning and a receding back. They could only watch them leave.
"Gojo, what do we do?" Geto tried again but got no reaction.
"What else? Go back and report. If Cursed Energy disappears, the Jujutsu world is about to face a massive upheaval," Gojo clasped his hands behind his head and turned with an arrogant stride. In reality, he didn't care. If it disappeared, Cursed Spirits wouldn't be born, and the existence of sorcerers would be meaningless.
"Don't you think this outcome is pretty good? The Star Plasma Vessel survived, and Tengen died without affecting the world," Gojo said.
"You're so carefree," Geto slapped his forehead. This was probably their first failed mission. But the Star Plasma Vessel… well, he also thought this was good. He was displeased with using people as items. So he stopped thinking and quickly followed.
