Hollow Purple continued flying into the sky, even punching a huge hole through the clouds. Fortunately, ordinary people couldn't see Hollow Purple. They only saw the Barrier in front of them suddenly shatter for some unknown reason, allowing everyone to see the inside again.
Similarly, the Barrier's function of making Cursed Spirits visible also failed. The Cursed Spirits that were originally in the view of many ordinary people within the Barrier seemed to have suddenly disappeared, but in reality, they were just no longer visible.
Satoru floated in mid-air, activating his Six Eyes at full power, constantly scanning the Tokyo area below, hoping to find some trace of abnormal Cursed Energy, but found nothing except for low-level Cursed Spirits everywhere.
When he slowly flew back to Jujutsu High, he discovered that there was a huge hole in the school's Barrier, and where the dormitory building used to be, there was now only a crater resembling a meteorite impact.
Shin was starting from the edge, filling in the crater bit by bit, while Yuji asked from the side, "Is it enough to just lay one layer? Without anything underneath to support these blocks, won't they fall down?"
Shin said while laying the ground with gold blocks, "Don't worry, even if all the surrounding ground sinks into the underground, the blocks I lay will still float in mid-air. That's the characteristic of my Cursed Technique."
Meanwhile, Megumi, Junpei, and Masamichi were using Efficiency-enchanted diamond pickaxes to trim the ground around the crater, ensuring that the final surface would be relatively uniform.
Satoru slowly descended onto the golden ground that Shin had laid and said, "Although it's a creation of your Cursed Technique, if Mei Mei saw you using so much gold to pave the ground, she would definitely go crazy."
"Ah... You're back? Gojo-sensei!" Yuji greeted him happily.
"Gojo-sensei, Sukuna has already left my body, so my suspended death sentence should be useless now, right?"
Satoru said with a strange expression, "Ah! That's a big problem, Yuji. Don't forget that you are still the incarnation for the Cursed Womb: Death Painting. At the time, I helped you secure a suspended death sentence because you could absorb more Sukuna fingers and were still somewhat useful. Now that you've not only lost Sukuna fingers but are also useless, I estimate the suspended death sentence will turn into immediate execution."
Hearing this, Yuji's face immediately became tense.
"This... this isn't right, is it? The finger can't be considered lost by me. That was force majeure. Gojo-sensei, according to what you're saying, do I still have to thank Sukuna for residing in my body?"
Satoru and Shin looked at Yuji's nervous appearance and suddenly burst into laughter.
Shin said, "Don't worry, Gojo-sensei is just trying to scare you. Although the Higher-Ups will indeed hold us accountable for the loss of the Sukuna fingers, the bulk of the responsibility won't fall on you."
"I will definitely be reprimanded for leaving Jujutsu High and causing the Sukuna fingers to be lost, and Principal Yaga will also have to take responsibility. Your responsibility is very small, so rest assured."
"It's just that now that Sukuna has truly resurrected, the Jujutsu World will probably fall into a period of turmoil for a while."
Shin wasn't worried at all. After all, Satoru had said he would bear all the consequences resulting from him leaving Jujutsu High, so he felt very relaxed now.
Yuji breathed a sigh of relief and stared at Satoru with a resentful look.
"Haha, Kagura is right. I'll take the responsibility. As for the resurrected Sukuna... let alone his current state of incomplete power, even if he were in his prime, I would still win. After all, I am the strongest."

Boom!
In a collapsed temple in some unknown mountain ravine in Japan, a violent explosion suddenly rang out. The already dilapidated temple was completely flattened by a powerful shockwave.
A four-armed figure walked out from the rising dust. In one hand, he held a twisted finger, slowly putting it into his mouth, while another hand tossed another cursed object up and down.
"The ninth one... A mere Special Grade, daring to touch my power."
This was none other than Sukuna, who was in the process of reclaiming his power. He would not cause any impact on his surroundings while collecting the fingers to prevent himself from being noticed by Jujutsu Sorcerers. He did not want any variables to appear before he had collected all the fingers.
As for Kenjaku, he was currently taking care of a newly born Disaster Cursed Spirit. The Cursed Energy of this newly born Cursed Spirit was already comparable to Hanami in their prime, and two types of human fear were perfectly fused within it, giving birth to two Cursed Techniques.
"Ah... although the experiment was successful, Sukuna's missing power still has nowhere to be replenished. Could it be that I really have to..."
Kenjaku flipped through a book he was holding, his gaze lingering on one of the pages.
"Immortal Technique... Assimilation... Cursed Energy optimization. It seems I can only have Sukuna assimilate Tengen? If Sukuna had the Immortal Technique, his strength should be able to surpass his prime."
