Satoru Gojo lifted the black blindfold covering his eyes.
He opened his Six Eyes and seriously observed the massive crater before him.
The Gojo clan's Six Eyes is not an Innate Technique but a special natural talent inherited through the Gojo bloodline, manifesting as a visual mutation.
It is essentially a super-sensory organ, granting the possessor information processing abilities and Cursed Energy manipulation precision far beyond ordinary people.
Now, Satoru Gojo was using this pair of eyes, unique in the Jujutsu world, to try to reconstruct the trajectory of the Battle of the Zenin Clan.
Suddenly, someone shouted from afar, "Hey, Satoru, figured anything out?"
Satoru Gojo didn't need to turn around; just hearing the voice told him who had come.
He continued to stare at the residual Cursed Energy with his Six Eyes, speaking casually.
"I didn't expect the famous Yuki Tsukumo to also be summoned by the higher-ups."
"Looks like those old men are really scared this time."
"Rightly so."
"After all, this is one of the Big Three Families that has existed in the Jujutsu world for a thousand years."
"Its heritage and strength are undoubtedly at the pinnacle of the Jujutsu world."
"Yet, who would have thought it could be wiped out so thoroughly in just one night..."
"Oh, not completely thorough; after all, the merciful King of Curses left behind the women and children of the Zenin clan who lacked combat ability."
The newcomer vigorously slapped Satoru Gojo on the back and crouched down as well.
Yuki Tsukumo was a great beauty.
She had a tall stature, a voluptuous figure, and long golden hair that almost reached her hips.
She parted her bangs into two sections, revealing a smooth forehead.
Her face wore a bright smile, but her eyes were as cold as ice.
There are currently only three Special Grade Sorcerers in the Jujutsu world: Satoru Gojo, Yuta Okkotsu, and... Yuki Tsukumo.
And now, Yuki Tsukumo and Satoru Gojo had appeared here simultaneously.
As Satoru Gojo said, this could only prove that the higher-ups were truly afraid.
They feared that the legendary King of Curses would launch another surprise attack.
Apart from the Gojo clan gathered around Satoru Gojo, no other faction in the world of Jujutsu dared claim they could withstand it.
The reason for urgently recalling Yuki Tsukumo from abroad lay precisely in this.
In fact, the last Special Grade Sorcerer, Yuta Okkotsu, had also been recalled.
However, he wasn't at the scene; instead, he was acting as a bodyguard to protect the "big shots" among the higher-ups.
Well, originally, according to the higher-ups' intention, at least two Special Grade Sorcerers were to act as bodyguards, leaving only one Special Grade Sorcerer to handle the Zenin clan matter.
Yuta Okkotsu was young and obediently complied.
Yuki Tsukumo immediately gave the middle finger, patted her butt, and ran over to Satoru Gojo.
"I was startled," Yuki Tsukumo said, crouching beside Satoru Gojo.
Sensing the residual Cursed Energy inside the huge crater, her smile faded a bit.
"When I received the news that the Zenin clan, one of the Big Three Families of the Jujutsu world, was destroyed by the legendary King of Curses, I thought someone was joking with me."
"After repeatedly confirming it wasn't a joke, I had no choice but to listen to those old guys for once and obediently come back."
"Feeling the pressure?" Satoru Gojo teased.
"Super feeling it," Yuki Tsukumo's smile finally disappeared.
"You should know my ideal."
"I've always been seeking ways to eradicate Cursed Spirits."
"When I realized I couldn't find an answer in Japan no matter what, I decisively went to various places around the world to search for new possibilities."
"I thought with you in Japan, nothing major could possibly happen no matter what..."
"But something major really did happen, huh?"
"Even the King of Curses has popped out."
"Isn't this even more contrary to my ideal?"
Yuki Tsukumo loudly complained about the Lord of Curses.
Satoru Gojo chewed over this title.
He asked, "How much do you know about the Lord of Curses?"
"You're the one stationed in Japan, not me, and you're actually asking someone who just returned?" Yuki Tsukumo complained.
She then honestly continued, "It's said to be a Cursed Spirit that hasn't been around for long, possessing immense potential."
"It is the first intelligent Cursed Spirit to appear since the birth of Cursed Spirits."
"It possesses the same sociality as humans, knows how to cooperate with Jujutsu Sorcerers, and grows at an incomprehensibly fast rate."
"It has already rallied a large group of Cursed Spirits and Curse Users, including some notorious figures."
"Also..."
At the end, Yuki Tsukumo paused before finally spitting out the remaining words.
"It possesses a method of granting immortality without side effects and actively sells immortality, as long as a reasonable price is paid."
"This price in ordinary society is money and connections, maybe territory and such?"
"In the Jujutsu world... the Zenin clan was the only one to make contact, and the result was annihilation."
Satoru Gojo said coldly, "No need to preserve the Zenin clan's last shred of dignity."
"At that time, they arrogantly ordered the King of Curses to hand over the method of immortality and demanded the King of Curses swear eternal loyalty to the Zenin clan."
"So, the King of Curses came alone and wiped out the Zenin clan's elite in one go."
It was precisely because he understood all the intelligence that Satoru Gojo said the King of Curses was "merciful enough."
At least it spared the lives of the Zenin clan's elderly and weak.
Considering the humiliation endured, let alone a Curse originally formed from negative emotions, even a Jujutsu Sorcerer who was originally human would have slaughtered the Zenin clan clean, not sparing a single outsider, upon hearing this.
The reason Maki Zenin faced almost no accountability after annihilating the Zenin clan in the original work also lies in this—it's tradition.
It seems cruel by modern societal standards, but in the Jujutsu world, it's normal.
Compared to the traditional practices of the Jujutsu world, the King of Curses' approach actually appears more civilized.
How ironic.
Yuki Tsukumo sighed, "Sometimes I really envy you."
"I've also been fed up with those old men for a long time, but I just chose to leave."
"Yet you stubbornly stayed, actively cultivating students, openly preparing for reform."
"A wind is blowing in the Jujutsu world."
"Excellent Jujutsu Sorcerers have been appearing one after another recently."
"And on the Cursed Spirit side, the Lord of Curses, unseen for a thousand years, has been born."
"This huge storm is sweeping across the entire Jujutsu world at a ferocious speed and affecting human society."
"I even believe that sooner or later, this storm will engulf the entire world, not limited to Japan."
Satoru Gojo put his blindfold back on, his expression uncommonly somber.
Yuki Tsukumo raised her hand again and gave Satoru Gojo's back a hard pat.
"So that's why I came running?"
"Don't shoulder the pressure so heavily alone; you still have some comrades."
"Some, yeah," Satoru Gojo sighed.
"Don't expect too much," Yuki Tsukumo laughed.
"After all, you've offended quite a few big shots."
"Those people would love nothing more than for you to drop dead right now."
"Unfortunately, you're too hard to kill, and they can't manage it."
"And now, compared to you, the actual King of Curses who can genuinely threaten their lives is watching closely, so they have no choice but to rely on you."
Satoru Gojo let out an irritated sigh.
"Back to business. What did your Six Eyes see?" Yuki Tsukumo asked.
"Some kind of enormous creature soaring through the sky."
"This snake-like being lowered its massive head, opened its maw, and spewed some kind of energy attack."
"A single strike shattered the entire ground."
"The direct impact zone, as you can see, exceeds two kilometers, with the shockwave range surpassing ten."
"Honestly, if you told me it was some new type of nuclear bomb, I'd believe you."
Satoru Gojo exhaled slowly.
"How does it compare to your Hollow Technique?" Yuki Tsukumo inquired.
Generally speaking, unless boosted by a Domain Expansion, the application of a Cursed Technique's forward rotation and its reversal are two completely distinct methods of release.
In fact, even Mahito is the same; he cannot use both forward and reversed technique applications simultaneously.
But Satoru Gojo's appearance shattered this established rule.
He is the only Jujutsu Sorcerer in the history of the Jujutsu world capable of using both forward and reversed technique applications at the same time.
Even Ryomen Sukuna couldn't achieve this!
He possesses a unique secret skill.
It's not that he refuses to teach it to others; it's that others simply cannot learn it.
He simultaneously activates both the forward and reversed applications of his Cursed Technique, unleashing power that far exceeds normal logic.
He named this special technique the Hollow Technique.
"In terms of wide-area destructive power alone, it surpasses my Hollow Technique," Satoru Gojo admitted.
Possessing his own pride, he disdained to lie, but he couldn't help adding a retort.
"However, the inherent nature of my Hollow Technique was never about wide-area destruction."
"It excels more in penetrating power and single-point breakthrough force."
"If I used the Hollow Technique to attack from the sky downwards, it would only leave a channel straight through to the earth's core, not blow out a massive crater."
Satoru Gojo wasn't lying.
His Hollow Technique truly isn't remarkable in terms of destructive power.
In the original work, during his one-on-one fight with Ryomen Sukuna, he once fired a Hollow Technique blast from two kilometers away aimed at Sukuna's position.
Yet, that bombardment only destroyed half a skyscraper.
Instead, Ryomen Sukuna, who took the direct hit, was almost half-dead.
Sukuna even stated outright that if he hadn't prepared defenses at the most critical moment, he likely would have been severely wounded to the point of death.
And remember, that was Ryomen Sukuna at his peak!
Before Ryomen Sukuna reached his peak, he once fought Jogo.
At that time, Jogo dropped a massive meteorite with a diameter of fifty meters.
The destructive force nearly wiped out the entire Shibuya area.
Yet, against such immense devastation, Ryomen Sukuna casually sliced it apart with a single application of his technique, completely unharmed.
The contrast is too stark.
"It seems even the famous 'Strongest of the Modern Era' is feeling the pressure."
"Normally, you wouldn't even bother to argue; you'd just sneer contemptuously, not even deigning to refute."
Yuki Tsukumo teased.
Satoru Gojo shrugged his shoulders, offering no defense.
After her teasing remark, Yuki Tsukumo continued her train of thought.
"Wasn't it said the King of Curses' ability is to 'allow humans to evolve'?"
"Did it also modify itself, becoming the enormous creature you described?"
"That should be the case," Satoru Gojo mused with a nod.
"What do you think it is?" Yuki Tsukumo asked.
"A dragon," Satoru Gojo said in a low voice.
"That's a dragon. The highest-level dragon-type Cursed Spirit."
"Geto once had a Cursed Spirit like that in his possession."
"He named it Rainbow Dragon."
"Although it wasn't a Special Grade Cursed Spirit, it still became the strongest shield in his arsenal."
"In this country, a Special Grade dragon-type Cursed Spirit has never been born before—because that's no longer a Cursed Spirit."
"That's a god, a Dragon God."
Yuki Tsukumo fell silent, unconsciously shuddering.
