Most Jujutsu Sorcerers possess their own Innate Techniques, which are unique abilities that Schwarzer views as something akin to superpowers, many of them conceptual.
However, most Jujutsu Sorcerers' output is quite disappointing due to their limited Cursed Energy.
This has led to Jujutsu Kaisen almost devolving into "Beat-jutsu Kaisen," where almost everyone resorts to hand-to-hand combat.
One reason is that Cursed Energy reinforcement of the body is highly practical, and the other is simply that there isn't enough Cursed Energy to go around.
This is why Gojo Satoru's Limitless Cursed Technique is so overwhelmingly oppressive; after all, if you can't even touch your opponent's body, how can you win?
For this very reason, after Gojo Satoru completely mastered the Limitless Cursed Technique, which could be permanently active by repairing himself with Reverse Cursed Technique, he truly became the strongest; no one in the entire Jujutsu world could be his opponent.
Until now, facing Schwarzer, who also mastered the Limitless Cursed Technique, he could finally experience a 'fight between equals.'
It wasn't because their combat power was identical, but because he had to go all out to even have a chance of defeating her.
"Normal Limitless is the manifestation of 'negative infinity,' capable of generating attraction, compressing space, and drawing in objects."
"And 'positive infinity,' obtained by reversing the Cursed Technique, will generate powerful repulsion."
"When the two come into contact, annihilation will occur. As for its power, nothing currently can stop it."
Gojo Satoru naturally hadn't forgotten the essence of this battle. Seizing the opportunity to widen the distance, he continued his explanation.
"However, this is also my first time encountering such a situation: two Jujutsu Sorcerers who have mastered the Limitless Cursed Technique fighting."
"In this case, the most troublesome Limitless defense becomes unusable. If the Cursed Techniques of both sides are different in polarity (forward and reverse), contact will result in annihilation, directly neutralizing the Limitless used for defense."
"From now on, it's a pure battle of wits."
Gojo Satoru was like someone who had broken free from a seal. His aura was completely different from before, and his jewel-like blue eyes burned with fighting spirit like flames.
He seemed to have forgotten one thing: Schwarzer didn't just know Limitless; she had other options.
But at a time like this, she wouldn't be so unromantic; both tacitly agreed to fight using only the abilities of Limitless.
The dozens of meters of standoff distance were meaningless to them. The compression of space produced no Cursed Energy fluctuations, rendering the advantage of Six Eyes completely moot.
What he didn't know was that in this pure battle of wits, Schwarzer, as a Machine Ex Machina, was inherently in an unbeatable position.
Human reaction speed, no matter how fast, couldn't surpass that of a Machine Ex Machina; this was an inherent disadvantage, at least for humans in the Jujutsu Kaisen world.
Schwarzer didn't choose to ambush, but rather generously vanished from her spot under Gojo Satoru's gaze.
Was she going for an early offense?
Gojo Satoru's nerves were taut, his attention stretched to the limit. He had to judge her intent to decide how to operate his Limitless Cursed Technique.
Theoretically, she would certainly choose a reversed Limitless attack; only that could break through his Limitless.
At this point, he would also reverse his Cursed Technique. Two 'positive infinity' repulsions would stack, and the point of contact would instantly erupt with powerful repulsion, pushing them apart.
But! If she had already anticipated this and didn't use Reverse Cursed Technique, but instead used an ordinary Cursed Energy-reinforced attack, she could forcefully overcome the repulsion and inflict damage on him.
Even more extreme, if she used a normal (forward) Limitless, it could also cause annihilation, but in that case, the imaginary mass between them would block her attack route...
In an instant, Gojo Satoru thought of many things, but in the end, he still chose to reverse his Cursed Technique.
As if perfectly replicating Gojo Satoru's movements, Schwarzer instantly appeared behind him, in the same position and with the same movement.
The result, however, was completely different: two identically reversed Limitless Cursed Techniques made contact, instantly pushing both her and Gojo Satoru away.
Was it a correct judgment or simply a lucky guess? Gojo Satoru didn't have time to ponder that much; his body had already reacted.
As he was repelled, he also vanished from his spot, reappearing behind Schwarzer. Using the very repulsion, he actually closed the distance between them again.
Gojo Satoru was thoroughly prepared. Upon discovering that she had reversed her Cursed Technique, he had already determined how he should attack.
The Cursed Technique that habitually covered his body was deactivated. He voluntarily released his own Limitless, concentrating his Cursed Energy into his fist instead.
With the acceleration from the two repulsions, plus his full Cursed Energy output, Gojo Satoru was confident he could break through her Limitless.
After all, the defensive capability of a reversed Limitless was greatly reduced; as long as he could break through the repulsion, he could harm her.
From being struck and repelled to the counterattack after teleporting, only half a second had actually passed. Normally, no one could react in time.
But Schwarzer was not human. With her processor operating at full capacity, her reaction speed could reach a realm unattainable by humans.
The originally flying backward Schwarzer, under Gojo Satoru's gaze, sharply turned her head, the light in her pupils trailing a long streak in mid-air.
She reacted?! How was that possible?
Gojo Satoru's brain raced. He saw the afterimage of light trailing from her eyes due to her excessive speed, and only then did he suddenly remember the fact that she was not human.
Limitless Cursed Technique reactivated. Gojo Satoru's fist could only stop before her, unable to touch her even a millimeter.
Conversely, his Limitless was already deactivated, which meant!
"Boom——"
Showing no mercy, Schwarzer returned a punch. Gojo Satoru only had time to raise one hand to block in front of him, barely managing a defensive posture.
"Crack!"
Amidst the huge thud, a crisp cracking sound was heard: the hand he used to block was severed.
Whether intentionally or not, the point where his arm was severed was exactly at his waist.
If the other party hadn't merely used a Cursed Energy-reinforced punch, but an attack similar to Hollow Technique: Purple, he would have been in serious trouble.
Although this was not a life-or-death battle, Gojo Satoru was fully focused. While Reverse Cursed Technique rapidly healed his arm, he once again widened the distance.
It was then that he realized he had been too complacent. Although his experience with Limitless Cursed Technique was vast, the other party was not human.
Whether in body strength or reaction speed, he was clearly no match for her, and any technique used in battle, she could immediately learn.
Schwarzer's emotionless eyes stared fixedly at him. She didn't pursue the advantage, but rather waited for Gojo Satoru to use more techniques.
Facing such a gaze, Gojo Satoru felt a faint ache in his arm, as if all his movements had been seen through.
"[Query] Do you require a mid-battle break?"
Although she had no change in vocal tone, her words sounded like a provocation to Gojo Satoru.
"Of course not."
He refused, then decided to abandon close-quarters combat. With his Six Eyes, he had more than enough Cursed Energy to spare.
"Next up is round two. I'll also teach you some advanced uses of Limitless."
Gojo Satoru extended his index finger, Cursed Energy compressing at his fingertip, forming a tiny, pitch-black sphere.
