Is it still a conventional action?
Naobito proved it with facts.
The Black Flash slammed into Kirigiri, and the Kirigiri, which severed all things, actually let out a wail.
The cutting line was not etched onto the Black Flash at all, because Naobito didn't strike the blade; he hit the body of the sword.
He had predicted the Immortal Master's swing trajectory!
The Immortal Master immediately understood: he had been tricked!
Before this, Naobito had learned from Naoya that Projection Sorcery was useless against the Immortal Master.
Naobito had already deduced the situation that could nullify Projection Sorcery—one second of 24 movements must be visible to the Immortal Master's naked eye.
For the current Immortal Master, he must be able to precisely know Naobito's movement trajectory.
Is it possible to see 24 movements in one second with the naked eye?
Although common sense told Naobito this was nonsense, there are indeed such people in this world, and more than one—Toji Fushiguro, who was expelled from the clan, and Satoru Gojo, hailed as the strongest in modern times, both possess this ability.
So, there's no need to be surprised if there's one more Immortal Master!
Therefore, no matter how he circled, it would be ineffective against the Immortal Master, because the Immortal Master didn't need to predict Naobito moving at divine speed.
He could see Naobito circling with his naked eye, then set up Kirigiri and wait for Naobito to collide with it.
Then, what if he just didn't circle?
It wasn't that he had to use a frontal impact, but rather that he could only use a frontal impact—this was Naobito's true intention.
Since it was already determined that a frontal impact was necessary, how would the Immortal Master, who possessed the Kirigiri that severed all things, choose?
Only a large diagonal slash that covered all the space in front was the optimal solution!
Within this massive diagonal slash, whether above, below, or directly in front, everything could be covered.
Naobito believed that the Immortal Master would definitely use the large diagonal slash, which is why he preset his movements.
If the Immortal Master hadn't used the optimal solution and instead used a large horizontal slash that disregarded attacks from above and below, or a swift thrust, Naobito, facing the Kirigiri blade directly, would surely die.
But the Immortal Master chose precisely the large diagonal slash, the optimal solution!
At this moment, Naobito's blood was boiling, as if his entire body was on fire.
Not only was his prediction correct, but he also imagined the deaths of his clansmen, the arrogance of the Zenin clan, the decline of the family after failure, imagining everything.
Finally, he transformed all this anger and fear, arrogance and unknown, into Cursed Energy.
Resonance, then a punch.
Black Flash appeared!
The Immortal Master saw cracks appearing on Kirigiri from the corner of his eye.
This Cursed Tool, made from an ancient sword, was severely damaged by a direct hit from Black Flash.
The Immortal Master decisively let go, and Kirigiri let out an unwilling whine, flying away with the impact.
The unexpected Black Flash knocked Kirigiri away, and Naobito finally reached the Immortal Master's embrace.
His fists were clenched, his entire body tensed, his muscles twitching from the immense effort, and the veins on his forehead pulsed, as if his whole body was brimming with power.
The Immortal Master immediately used Soul Creation—Kurisaka Jirō: Strength Reversal!
The next moment, Naobito's fist violently struck the Immortal Master's abdomen.
As long as it wasn't a Black Flash, even a charged punch wouldn't be able to harm him.
At that moment, the Immortal Master would be able to kill Naobito with one blow, just as he killed Jinichi Zenin.
But that fist, it carried black flames.
—Black Flash! The second Black Flash!
Accompanied by an explosive sound, Strength Reversal was penetrated without hindrance.
The Immortal Master's abdominal cavity was blown empty, but the immense destructive power had not yet fully dissipated.
This vast destructive power pierced through the Immortal Master's abdomen and spread outwards, making the Immortal Master's body seem like a commoner in cloth clothes hit by a distant cannonball.
As his body exploded, he was sent flying backward.
This was because a powerful air current formed with the release of destructive power, and the Immortal Master was swept away like a withered leaf caught in a storm.
The power of Black Flash grows with the growth of the Sorcerer.
In terms of sheer force, even Naobito, as the clan head, was far inferior to the Special Grade 1 Sorcerer Jinichi Zenin.
Jinichi could directly blast the Immortal Master's body into minced meat with a Black Flash, but Naobito could not.
The Immortal Master still wanted to use Soul Creation while floating in the air.
He had just been attacked by Naobito, and his body was already stained with Naobito's Cursed Energy.
At this time, if he used Interstellar Flight, he could immediately repel Naobito.
But another fist appeared before his eyes.
Naobito caught up with the retreating, blasted Immortal Master.
His speed at this moment far exceeded the speed of sound.
His pupils flickered with a cold light, but his heart was as hot as an erupting volcano.
Enormous force was concentrated in his fist, and on his fist—
—Black flames flashed for the third time.
The third strike, Black Flash.
Thud!
Naobito's fist smashed into the side of the Immortal Master's face.
The spatial distortion carried by the Black Flash immediately tore the Immortal Master's face apart.
Facial bones and flesh were pulverized together by the black lightning, and half of the Immortal Master's face was directly blown to pieces.
Too fast!
So fast that the Immortal Master had no ability to fight back.
This level of speed exceeded the Immortal Master's imagination.
Was Naobito such a strong person?
All the Cursed Energy the Immortal Master extracted was used for Idle Transfiguration.
He had evolved multiple times during this battle, and his Idle Transfiguration was operating at an unprecedented level.
Yet at this moment, he actually still couldn't keep up with the speed of the destruction.
Too slow!
The current speed of energy circulation could no longer keep up with this final battle!
The Immortal Master didn't have time to use Soul Creation and could only use Idle Transfiguration with all his might to maintain the integrity of his soul.
His physical body regenerated at high speed.
At this moment, he deeply felt the sluggishness of the physical body.
His Idle Transfiguration was perfectly attuned to himself; even the Cursed Energy interruption of a Black Flash couldn't dream of stopping the use of Idle Transfiguration.
In fact, in the original work, the Immortal Master had never feared Black Flash.
He had once been hit by Black Flash multiple times, yet his physical body remained quite intact; as long as he could continuously operate Idle Transfiguration to maintain the integrity of his soul, Black Flash was essentially ineffective against him.
In terms of resistance in this area, he was even stronger than Satoru Gojo and Ryomen Sukuna!
In the final battle of the original work, even Satoru Gojo and Ryomen Sukuna suffered serious aftereffects after being hit by Black Flash.
However, the Reversed Cursed Technique Application, Soul Creation, derived from the 'double negative' nature of being a Half-Cursed Spirit, was holding him back.
Even though Soul Creation had been running smoother and smoother during the battles with the Kukuru and the Hei, with almost no sense of lag, compared to the perfectly attuned Idle Transfiguration at this moment, it was so sluggish.
The Immortal Master immediately realized.
The time had come.
Discarding this mismatched physical body, constructing a perfectly suited one, transcending common sense, and arriving at a new birth—it was happening now!
Naobito's face suddenly appeared before the Immortal Master.
This man was now shrouded in Cursed Energy, like he was wearing a suit of burning armor.
He stepped forward, opened his fingers, covered the Immortal Master's face with his palm, and then slammed down with force!
Boom!
The fourth strike, Black Flash!
The Grade 1 Sorcerer Kento Nanami once said: "Using Black Flash consecutively isn't anything special. If you use it more than twice, it's actually harder not to use it consecutively or within the same day."
"Regardless of whether the first Black Flash was based on luck or skill, once it's used, the Sorcerer temporarily enters what athletes call 'Awakening.' Cursed Energy that normally requires careful control flows as naturally as breathing, and it feels as if everything around is rotating with oneself at the center, creating a sensation similar to omnipotence."
"In other words, as long as more than two Black Flashes are used consecutively, the remaining Black Flashes can essentially be used without limit. Aside from Cursed Energy, the only other restriction on their number is—"
—How durable the target is!
The entire corridor began to collapse.
The massive destructive power caused the entire ground to cave in.
The spreading impact shook the entire Zenin estate.
The corridor collapsed, and half of the reception hall caved in as well.
The Zenin clan residence was forced into ruins by this single strike.
Amidst the torrential rain, thunder rumbled again, and lightning flashed in the sky, illuminating Naobito's distorted face.
"What's wrong? King of Curses?" Naobito mocked loudly.
"Weren't you going to be the second for the Zenin clan?! Stand up, we're continuing!"
Naobito believed the Immortal Master would not die just like this.
He had already watched the entire battle of the Zenin clan through the eyes of his Shikigami.
He clearly knew the Immortal Master possessed a nearly immortal body that could fully regenerate even if turned into mincemeat.
In Naobito's eyes, there was only one way to kill him—
—Wear him down!
Even with an immortal body, his amount of Cursed Energy had a limit.
Healing the wounds from a Black Flash would consume even more Cursed Energy.
No matter what the Immortal Master's regeneration technique was, the most basic laws of techniques still existed.
It's just like how even the best sports car can't run without fuel.
No matter how terrifying the Immortal Master's resurrection was, he would have to die once his Cursed Energy was exhausted!
Immortality does not exist.
Didn't the 'Yamata no Orochi,' claimed to be immortal a thousand years ago, also get slain by the legendary Ryomen Sukuna?
There is no such thing as an invincible Cursed Technique in this world.
Since the principle couldn't be figured out in a short time, then don't try to understand it—use violence!
Forcefully break it!
If one Black Flash can't kill him, then ten!
If ten can't, then a hundred!
The current record holder for consecutive Black Flashes in the Jujutsu world is Kento Nanami, who fired four in a single battle.
Now, Naobito was going to challenge this record.
The number of consecutive strikes didn't depend on Naobito himself, but on this King of Curses—on how many strikes he could withstand!
In fact, his judgment was correct.
How did the original Immortal Master die?
It was because his Cursed Energy was exhausted!
Because even in the original work, up until the second before being absorbed by Kenjaku, his body was still complete and without any wounds other than the exhaustion of Cursed Energy.
Suddenly, a muffled voice came from underground.
"As you wish."
Naobito keenly perceived the ground vibrating.
It wasn't the kind of vibration from the sudden downward smash just now, but a vibration like rolling waves on the sea.
A swimming fish moving beneath the surface of a pond creates ripples on the water; the ground now was rippling just like that.
But how was this possible?
How could the earth ripple like the surface of water?
A great creature broke through the shackles of the earth and soared into the sky from underground.
Naobito jumped back from his spot and looked up at this creature, his fierce and distorted face becoming blank.
A creature he couldn't have imagined was right before his eyes.
The entire earth was covered in patterns of cracks.
From within the massive fissures, this creature stood before Naobito.
It was a Dragon.
On its massive dragon head, a gold and a blue dragon eye flickered, looking down at Naobito.
Its dragon claws were loosely clenched, the five claws appearing sharp and eye-catching under the wash of the rain.
Each dragon scale rose and fell as if breathing.
The dragon's lower body was still underground, while its upper body seemed to reach the sky, blotting out the sun.
—Simple Domain: Descent.
Mythology returns; the Divine Dragon manifests!
Naobito forced the corners of his mouth to curl up into a smile.
"Very good, now this is more like it," he said.
In the next instant, the dragon claw descended from the sky!
