Satoru Gojo's movements paused slightly. The information received by his Six Eyes corroborated Dōshin's words, causing a storm of shock to rise within his heart.
He was not entirely unaware of the abnormalities in the Barrier, yet he had never dared to delve this deeply into the implications.
"Kenjaku, that thousand-year-old Curse User who stole a body, is exactly the one who saw through this point."
Sugawara no Michizane continued to reveal the cruel truth. "What he plots is not mere chaos. He has schemed for a thousand years, selecting suitable vessels, collecting Special Grade Cursed Objects, and triggering the revival of ancient Jujutsu Sorcerers. Everything is for the sake of completing the final ritual on the stage of the 'Culling Game', a special arena derived from Tengen's rules."
"To forcibly push Tengen into a final assimilation with the 'one hundred million Star Plasma Vessels' he has marked!"
Dōshin's voice carried a hint of chill. "At that time, what will be born will not be a more powerful Barrier core, but an 'out-of-control Super Cursed Spirit' possessing Tengen's thousand years of wisdom, as well as the Cursed Energy and soul energy of one hundred million people!"
"It will instinctively devour everything on the planet to complete its final 'evolution'. That will be the end of all life!"
Satoru Gojo completely halted his attack, his pale blue Six Eyes staring fixedly at Sugawara no Michizane. "So, Toho Hiroshi, he..."
"That kid, he has gone further than any of you, and he sees more clearly."
Sugawara no Michizane's tone carried a hint of indescribable emotion. "He also knew of this ultimate threat. But he chose the most extreme, the loneliest path."
"He disguised himself as a world-destroying demon king, promoted the 'Eye of the Moon' to draw all the fire, collected Cursed Energy to feed that 'Gedo Statue', and even went so far as to become your enemy... Everything was done to ensure that at the moment Kenjaku's ritual is completed and that monster is born, he possesses the 'Godly Power' sufficient to kill it in a single strike!"
"He must ensure that the power of that strike exceeds the monster's potential growth limit. To this end, he needs to become the target of everyone's scorn, needs to shoulder all the hatred and misunderstanding, and needs to eliminate all uncertain interference, including you, Satoru."
Satoru Gojo fell silent.
Memories of past arguments with Toho Hiroshi flashed through his mind, his seemingly paranoid remarks, and that final sentence: "When you see with your own eyes the peace brought by the 'Eye of the Moon', you will naturally understand my choice."
So, that peace did not refer to a false dream, but to the reality after the monster was eliminated—a true reality no longer shrouded by the ultimate threat?
"What makes him think he can control that kind of power? And what makes him certain this is the only way?"
Satoru Gojo's voice deepened.
"Because he possesses those eyes—the Rinnegan. It is the proof that he can see through the cycle of life and death and touch the power of the world's origin. Perhaps he saw a 'future' that we could not."
Sugawara no Michizane sighed. "As for control, this is a gamble in itself."
"If he succeeds, the world will continue, but he will likely be backlashed by that power or rejected by the world. If he fails, all things will perish together."
"Now, do you understand why I stopped you?"
Dōshin looked at Satoru Gojo, his gaze sharpening. "If you rush over now to fight to the death with Toho Hiroshi or Sukuna, regardless of the outcome, you will consume the crucial power needed to deal with the ultimate threat. You might even disrupt Toho Hiroshi's all-or-nothing plan, leading to total defeat!"
The lightning shackles on Satoru Gojo had quietly dissipated at some unknown moment.
He kept his head lowered, making his expression unreadable.
After a long while, he suddenly laughed, his laughter gradually growing from a low chuckle into something brash and unbridled.
"Haha... Hahaha... So that's it, so that's it!"
He raised his head, his pale blue Six Eyes burning with an unprecedented fire. It was not anger, but a more determined and arrogant fighting spirit born from seeing through everything.
"I've really been underestimated, that bastard Hao."
"And you, ancestor."
He pointed at Sugawara no Michizane. "Do you think that by telling me this, I will obediently stay here and pin the hope of saving the world on that self-righteous bastard?"
Sugawara no Michizane frowned. "What do you intend to do?"
"What do I intend to do?"
Satoru Gojo grinned with a reckless smile. "Of course, I'm going to drag out that Kenjaku who's hiding behind the scenes causing trouble, and blast him to smithereens before he finishes the ritual!"
"As for that monster about to be born..."
He clenched his fists, Cursed Energy surging and boiling around him like a tsunami, the space twisting beneath his feet.
"Whether it's some Super Cursed Spirit or an ultimate catastrophe, I am Satoru Gojo!"
"The title of 'The Strongest' isn't earned by hiding behind others!"
"Since I know the truth, I'll deal with it and Kenjaku using my own methods!"
Watching Satoru Gojo, whose fighting spirit was soaring and who was even sharper than before, Sugawara no Michizane was stunned. Then, a faint, almost gratified smile slowly appeared on his usually calm face.
"As expected of my bloodline... This arrogance is truly surpassing the master."
He slowly raised the lightning scepter in his hand, his fighting spirit rising once more.
"Since that's the case, let me, your ancestor, test you again. Does your Six Eyes of this later generation truly deserve to break this predetermined fate!"
Boom—
A more intense battle erupted between the two supreme powerhouses possessing the "Six Eyes".
But this time, the meaning of the battle was already different.
This was no longer about stopping, but about testing and inheritance.
After knowing everything, Satoru Gojo was about to walk his own path—the path of the strongest that would shatter all conspiracies and despair.
The atmosphere between Satoru Gojo and Sugawara no Michizane changed abruptly, shifting from previous obstruction and conflict to a clash of wills and a trial of inheritance.
Two pairs of eyes of the heavens simultaneously erupted with brilliant light.
"Domain Expansion—'Unlimited Void'"
Satoru Gojo did not hesitate to unleash his ultimate Barrier, intending to pull his ancestor into that information-saturated, stagnant world.
An endless pale white space spread instantly, seeking to engulf Sugawara no Michizane.
However, facing this Domain capable of driving any Jujutsu Sorcerer to despair, Sugawara no Michizane simply raised his lightning scepter calmly.
"Naive. Kid of the later generation, let me show you what it means for 'Heaven and Earth to be the Domain'."
He did not chant a true name, but the entire space—no, the entire rift in history shrouded by his power—responded and boiled with it.
There were no fixed boundaries; the sky, the earth, the flowing air, and the leaping lightning all transformed into his Domain—the Open Domain 'Natural Divine Realm'.
The mandatory closed rules of 'Unlimited Void', the moment they touched this Open Domain that merged with heaven and earth, shattered like waves crashing against a reef.
The closed rules were negated and encompassed by the more magnificent and essential "world" itself.
Satoru Gojo's Domain, unable to even fully form, was crushed by the opponent's Domain, shattering inch by inch like fragile glass and dissipating into nothingness.
"Pfft—"
The backlash from his Domain being forcibly shattered left a sweet taste of blood in Satoru Gojo's throat, but he gritted his teeth and suppressed the surging blood, his Six Eyes spinning frantically as he analyzed this incredible scene.
"Do you see, Satoru?"
Sugawara no Michizane stood between heaven and earth, surrounded by wind and thunder, like a deity wielding the laws of nature. "Your 'Limitless' and'stagnation' are, in essence, still 'isolation' and 'definition' of the world's rules."
"And my [Power of Nature], drives the fundamental rules of this world itself. No matter how perfect your Domain is, it only sets rules within a 'house', whereas I can use the power of the 'world' itself to destroy your 'house'."
He did not possess the absolute defense and control of the Limitless, but his Innate Cursed Technique [Power of Nature] allowed him to directly command the basic elements that constitute the world—wind, fire, thunder, and lightning—and push their power to the supreme realm.
His Open Domain was the ultimate embodiment of this ability to resonate with heaven and earth..
