Chapter 3 - 3. Cursed Techniques and Power Gap

"Cursed Spirits are True Humans!"

"Bla bla bla!"

Sitting on the beach chair, I listened to Jogo trying to passionately brainwash me.

Well, I am actually observing his soul, wondering if I can replicate him.

"Jogo, do you want to become human?"

"No! I am already the true human! They are the ones who are fake!"

Hmmm... Let's see...

After having observed his soul enough, I transformed into him.

"What the hell!? How did you suddenly transform into me!?"

In a fit of rage, I punched him.

"Ah. I guess replicating your soul also made me angry huh?"

I tried to use his Cursed Technique, but I wasn't able to. I guess I didn't replicate his brain closely enough?

"Jogo! Let me observe your brain more!"

I was about to grab his head, but he punched me.

"Wow! No damage at all."

I simply changed the shape of my soul, and there was no damage.

"What!?"

Jogo shuddered as I grinned and grabbed his head while looking like him.

"Stop it! Don't grab me!"

"Hahaha! You can't hurt me at all!"

His head fired off fire all around, but it wasn't hurting me in the slightest.

Damn, I am OP!

I touched Jogo's soul, especially the part which is shaped like his brain. He froze and started shuddering.

"What the hell are you doing!?"

"You are powerful. So I don't think you will die easily with my technique. Now be a good boy and stay still."

I started observing Jogo's soul by directly touching it.

His brain is very simple compared to a human's, especially because it is made entirely of Cursed Energy and Jogo isn't very smart.

After a few minutes of tinkering with my own soul to be nearly identical to him, it suddenly clicked.

I stopped grabbing Jogo's head, and turned my hand towards the water.

"Disaster Flames!"

From my hand, I fired fire!

"Ember insects!"

And then, I even summoned Ember insects!

"Hahaha! I copied your technique!"

I grinned and transformed back to myself, while compressing Jogo's small brain and having it be my second brain.

"Disaster Flames!"

I shot fire from my hand again! Even without being transformed into Jogo!

Hahahaha! I am so damn OP!

Replicating the brains and Cursed Techniques in them is really possible!

A human brain is much more complex for now, but Cursed Spirits?

I looked at Hanami and Dagon.

They started backing off.

"I am not going to hurt you guys. But, since even Geto is so scared of Gojo Satarou, having more power and techniques is for the best, right?"

Kenjaku nodded.

"Even if we all fight him together, we wouldn't be able to beat him. That's why we have to seal him, and have Sukuna help us to usher the era of Curses. Still, gaining strength isn't a bad thing."

I touched both Hanami and Dagon's head to replicate their brains and techniques, while Jogo started arguing with Kenjaku.

He seems really angry with me, but is taking it out on Kenjaku.

"Gojo Satarou this, Gojo Satarou that! Tell me where he is, and I will kill him! There is no need for Sukuna!"

"Jogo, you WILL die. Sukuna just recently got a vessel, but he isn't able to fully seize control. We need to create certain conditions that Sukuna will create a binding vow with his vessel—"

"Is Sukuna strong enough to take out Gojo Satarou?"

"If he regains most of his strength, then yes."

"Then, in terms of Sukuna's fingers, how strong do you think I am?"

"Being generous by comparing the Cursed Energy of each finger, about 8 or 9."

"That's plenty."

"No way. Just having more Cursed Energy doesn't mean much in front of Gojo Satarou. He will never run out of Cursed Energy."

"...Never run out?"

"Yeah. He has six eyes, which gives him so much efficiency that he regenerates Cursed Energy faster than he expends.

Right now, we need to determine Sukuna's actual strength to determine how he can be used in our plans.

If we get discovered by him right now, it will be certain death. We need to bring Sukuna to our side."

While listening to all the exchange between Kenjaku and Jogo, I replicated Dagon and Hanami's brains. It was much easier this time around.

I gathered some information from this conversation.

Yuji has already eaten Sukuna's finger. So, I can't touch Yuji right now.

Still, to be able to surpass my limits, I should be able to touch Sukuna.

"Geto, do you have any finger of this Sukuna?"

"Yes. Here."

He smiled and handed my one of Sukuna's finger.

...Even one finger, containing Sukuna's soul fragment, has a stronger soul than mine.

"Idle Transfiguration."

I tried to use my technique on it, but it didn't work.

So, I took a binding vow.

[By chanting 'Power-up' 5 times, my output will reach 120%.]

"Power-up! Power-up! Power-up! Power-up! Power-up!"

My output increased, and I used Idle Transfiguration on Sukuna's finger again.

Yet, I couldn't even stretch it a little bit.

Right now, there is such a big difference between me and Sukuna?
