In a dark forest, a figure was on all fours, scrambling away like a beast.
He was an Oni, a demon that lived in the darkness and feasted on humans.
He had been hiding in the mountains, feasting on the villagers at the foot of the mountain. He was living a better life than he had as a human, at least he was always full.
But this idyllic life was shattered after only a few days, thanks to two passing Demon Hunters.
Those Demon Hunters didn't play fair. They ganged up on me, an Oni less than a month old. But a good Oni seeks revenge, and I'll bide my time, develop for a few years, and then take my revenge on those two Demon Hunters.
An Oni's physical abilities far surpassed those of humans. If he focused on escape and used the cover of night, ordinary Demon Hunters couldn't catch a demon intent on fleeing.
And so, the Oni, seeing the situation wasn't good, slipped away, successfully escaping and hiding deep within a natural cave in the forest.
"I need to go deeper in. It's safer there," the Oni said, turning and heading deeper into the cave.
"Hmm? What's that?" Looking into the cave, something sparkling in the darkness caught the Oni's attention. He walked towards the source of the light and bent down to examine it.
"A bracelet? Looks pretty and valuable, doesn't it?"
Whether it was a habit from his human days or something else, he picked up the valuable-looking bracelet, intending to put it away. However, his clothes had been damaged during the fight with the Demon Hunters.
So, the Oni put the bracelet on his left wrist.
A few seconds later, the Oni threw his head back and roared with laughter.
"Hahahaha… surviving a disaster brings good fortune! Just you wait, Demon Hunters! I'll be back to get my revenge soon."
The somewhat cultured Oni spoke a few threatening words before activating the teleportation function, hoping to participate in some events for rewards and also to get far away from his pursuers.
I don't believe you Demon Hunters can find me even if I escape to another world!
The countdown for the first teleportation finished, and the Oni vanished in a flash of blue light.
The afternoon sun in New York was bright and beautiful.
The blue light flickered, and the Oni's figure reappeared.
Direct sunlight caused the Oni to emit white smoke. Its body gradually turned into black ash and scattered, and the intense pain assaulted his mind, causing him to howl in agony.
"Aaaah—!!! Damn... the sun..."
The Bracelet fell to the ground, disintegrating into countless points of light and disappearing...
"What's going on? Is this a scam?"
Kamijou Touma stroked his messy hair, his face full of confusion.
If this is a scam, isn't there something wrong with it?
You didn't leave anything behind, how are you going to extort money?
"It's not a scam. That 'person' just now might have been a humanoid monster. Sunlight is its weakness; it dies when exposed to sunlight." The explanation reached Kamijou Touma's ears, and he looked up at the source of the voice.
It was a young man with pink spiky short hair, black at the roots, wearing a low-cut dark blue long-sleeved jacket with a red hooded sweatshirt, and dark blue wide-leg mid-length pants.
"Yo!" Noticing Kamijou Touma's gaze, the pink-haired young man raised his hand in greeting.
"What do you mean by monster?" Kamijou Touma asked.
"I don't know much either, but there's a lot in the world, so it's not surprising that there are monsters afraid of light." The pink-haired young man said casually.
"There's a lot in the world?" Kamijou Touma's pupils dilated.
What does that mean? Is Mr. Kamijou not the victim of a prank by an esper, but has really encountered a world-traveling miracle?!
No, no, no… impossible…
"Mr. Kamijou can't be that lucky!!!" Kamijou Touma held his face in his hands, looking shocked.
"What's the important part?" the pink-haired boy complained.
"Impossible, impossible…" Mr. Kamijou muttered to himself.
"Moshi moshi, can you hear me?" The pink-haired boy skipped over to Kamijou Touma and waved his hand in front of his face.
Mr. Kamijou didn't react at all.
"…" The pink-haired boy shrugged and didn't mind, walking around Kamijou Touma to the edge of the building. He gazed at the steel forest below, muttering to himself, "It doesn't feel any different from my world. Is this all there is to another world?"
"Hey, that's completely different." The pink-haired boy's left cheek split open, forming a mouth.
"You're back again?" The pink-haired boy, Itadori Yuuji, casually complained, then asked, "What's different?"
"You wouldn't understand even if I told you."
"How would I know if I don't understand if you don't tell me?" Itadori Yuuji retorted.
"Have you read any books about the basics of being a Jujutsu Sorcerer?"
Itadori Yuuji was defeated. He really hadn't.
"Your face?" Kamijou Touma, who had just regained his senses, looked at the mouth on the pink-haired boy's left cheek, somewhat surprised.
"Yo! You're awake." Itadori Yuuji raised his hand in greeting.
"Sorry about that," Kamijou Touma said, scratching the back of his head awkwardly.
"It's alright. My name is Itadori Yuuji, what's yours?"
"My name is Kamijou Touma."
"Wow, that's so cool! It's the same pronunciation as Imagine Breaker!" Itadori Yuuji exclaimed, waving his hands.
"Ahaha, is that so?" Kamijou Touma chuckled sheepishly.
"Imagine Breaker, huh! Indeed, a rather annoying aura," a voice interjected.
"Don't interrupt," Itadori Yuuji said, slapping his own left cheek, but he didn't hit Sukuna. Sukuna had already moved from Itadori Yuuji's left cheek to his right when Itadori Yuuji raised his hand.
"Idiot," Sukuna sneered.
"I was just about to ask, what's with the mouth on your face...?" Kamijou Touma asked.
"Him? A monster that's lodged inside me, Ryomen Sukuna," Itadori Yuuji explained.
"Oh!" Kamijou Touma nodded in understanding. Being a magnet for misfortune, he was used to accepting all sorts of bizarre things, except for good luck.
"Wanna go explore another world?" Itadori Yuuji asked, his interest piqued. Although the other world looked similar to his own, there had to be differences, which meant potential surprises.
"Sure," Kamijou Touma replied, not refusing.
The two set off together.
At the same time, Rhodey racked his brains and gathered information from various sources. Finally, taking advantage of General Ross's deployment of the army into the city to capture the Hulk, he successfully persuaded the politicians to evacuate the crowds.
The reason for success came down to explaining the Hulk's danger, and also because Tony Stark threw in a sum of money, a sum that was very tempting.
"The victory of money!" Rhodey shrugged.
The Hulk's danger served as an excuse for the politicians to issue the evacuation order, while the money was the driving force behind their decision.
Although the people in charge had spoken, the speed of evacuating the masses was still slow, mainly because Ross was worried about scaring away the Hulk, which would prevent a large-scale evacuation of the public.
In the villa, at dusk.
Tony Stark received a call from Rhodey and was immediately so angry that he smashed the wall, wanting to tear Ross apart, "Damn it!"
"Don't get excited, Tony." Rhodey comforted.
Tony took a deep breath, calming his anger. "Is there no other way?"
"Those politicians want money, but they won't directly oppose General Ross," Rhodey said. "They'll probably wait until Hulk is contained before Ross agrees to a large-scale evacuation."
"Hoo..." Tony continued to breathe deeply. "Then let's do it this way!"
He hung up the phone and walked towards his workbench, resuming the creation of the Program Enhancement Key.
