At this moment, Momo Nishimiya, who was floating on the water with a swim ring, noticed a small, spinning cube suddenly float up beside her. Out of curiosity, she reached out and grabbed it.
Everyone underwater widened their eyes. Almost instantly, everyone, including Momo Nishimiya, was teleported back to the beach.
"Alright, it seems the outcome of this competition has been decided."
Everyone who had been competing underwater sighed helplessly, while Momo Nishimiya, who knew nothing but had ended up the winner, looked completely bewildered.
Kagura Shin retrieved the Tide Core and placed it into the pre-prepared sea crystal frame to activate it. Suddenly, a strange energy surged into Momo Nishimiya's body.
She hurriedly declined, "No, no, no! I didn't do anything! If anything, I'm sorry for affecting everyone's competition. How could I be the winner..."
Kagura Shin looked at the surrounding group and asked, "Do you acknowledge Student Momo Nishimiya's victory?"
Itadori Yuji answered first, "Although I'm very frustrated, I have to admit that having good luck is also a way to win."
The others nodded in agreement, but Momo Nishimiya still insisted on not going into the water to accept the reward, and the atmosphere seemed to freeze for a moment.
Gojo Satoru clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention. "Alright, Shin, stop playing around. I saw it. You intentionally guided that energy into Student Momo Nishimiya's body; that energy could have radiated to everyone around, couldn't it? In other words, you were planning to take all of us to see the underwater scenery from the very beginning!"
Kagura Shin sighed helplessly and said, "Teacher Gojo, your statement borders on moral coercion. I didn't have any such plan, but since you've brought it up, if I don't take everyone, it'll end up being my fault."
Kagura Shin gave up on guiding the energy, allowing it to radiate directly from the Tide Core device to everyone around, and then took the lead, slowly walking into the water.
The power of the Tide Core not only allowed everyone to breathe freely underwater but also neutralized water pressure and resistance, enabling them to walk as freely on the seabed as they would on land. As for the effective range of the Tide Core, Kagura Shin had long since expanded it using his Domain's Cursed Technique enhancement ability.
The magnificent underwater scenery was truly mesmerizing, making people reluctant to leave too soon...
...
In Dagon's domain, Mahito was still in a severely injured state. Although his body had at least recovered completely, he still bore countless gruesome scars, his movements were somewhat sluggish, and his Cursed Energy had significantly decreased.
Jogo had already recovered, but he clearly developed a psychological trauma regarding Kagura Shin. Even just hearing Kenjaku and Mahito discussing him caused Jogo's Cursed Energy to become unstable.
Kenjaku gathered the four disaster Cursed Spirits, formed a circle, and took out several items.
"Each of you, take the cursed objects or Cursed Tools that you can use to enhance your own strength. At least next time, you won't be beaten so miserably..."
Subsequently, Kenjaku began to introduce the items in front of them.
[Special Grade Cursed Tool — Wind and Fire Fan. Its ability is to fan out raging fire and hurricanes. The power of the output varies depending on the Cursed Energy input.]
[Special Grade Cursed Tool — Sky-Piercing Blade. It has no other effects, it is simply sharp.]
[special grade cursed object — Shuten-doji Pot. When Cursed Energy is inputted, it can continuously overflow with alcohol vapor. The alcohol vapor has neurotoxicity; if a normal Jujutsu Sorcerer inhales too much, they won't even be able to release their Cursed Technique.]
[special grade cursed object — Core of the Drowning, Wet, and Beach Women. Born from the yokai legends of the Drowning Woman, Wet Woman, and Beach Woman, as long as it is thrown into the water, it will give birth to three Special Grade Cursed Spirits, each possessing a different Cursed Technique.]
Jogo asked curiously, "So many Special Grade Cursed Tools or cursed objects! Where did you get them?"
"You don't need to know that. Just take them and use them. I only hope that in the future, you won't be beaten so miserably again."
Jogo was so provoked by Kenjaku's words that the volcano on his head bubbled incessantly. Finally, he grabbed the Wind and Fire Fan, tucked it into his waistband, and left indignantly.
Hanami chose the Sky-Piercing Blade to make up for the shortcoming of having relatively low attack power. Mahito took the Shuten-doji Pot, and Dagon took the Core of the Drowning, Wet, and Beach Women, which was most suitable for it.
In fact, these good items were all treasures Kenjaku had collected over many years. Although it had stored quite a few good things, giving away such top-tier items still made it feel a bit of heartache. However, thinking of the future returns, it suddenly felt that the current investment was worth it.
"Everyone, in one week, once Mahito has recovered some strength, we have an important operation. So, don't act too conspicuously recently. If another one of you gets severely injured, it will seriously affect our plan!"
"The tone you use when speaking is really annoying. If it weren't for the fact that we are currently in a state of cooperation, I would have burned you until not even your ashes remained!"
"Fine, my mistake. But you must remember, Jogo, our goal is to make humanity disappear and ensure that a hundred years from now, it is we who stand upon the wilderness!"
