"But external attacks can hardly reach its essence."
Gojo Satoru responded, simultaneously blasting away an incoming psychic shockwave with a "Red."
Just then, Toho Hiroshi had a thought.
He recalled the property of the black rods that disrupted the flow of Cursed Energy when dealing with other enemies previously.
Perhaps...
He hesitated no longer, waving both hands, and a vast number of pitch-black black rods shot toward Kenjaku's massive body like a torrential rain.
Compared to Kenjaku's overall volume, these black rods were like tiny toothpicks.
Most of them were eroded and dissolved by the powerful Cursed Energy the moment they touched the seething shadows of the Curse.
However, a few lucky ones penetrated the weaker defensive areas and pierced deep into that writhing body.
At first, Kenjaku paid no attention; this kind of physical interference seemed insignificant to it.
But the next moment, an anomaly occurred!
One black rod happened to pierce near a human face that was condensing an ice-based Cursed Technique.
The distorted expression on that face suddenly stiffened, the freezing cold aura that was about to erupt abruptly dissipated, and even the writhing of the shadows in a small area around it showed a noticeable lag.
Although new Cursed Energy surged over quickly, attempting to expel the black rod, the recovery speed in that area was clearly a beat slower than elsewhere.
Gojo Satoru's Six Eyes instantly captured this detail, and his eyes flashed with brilliance: "It's effective! toho! Those black rods can interfere with its internal Cursed Energy circulation and Cursed Technique construction!"
Toho Hiroshi saw it clearly too, a flash of realization crossing his Rinnegan: "As expected, it is not monolithic. The forced fusion of billions of types of Cursed Energy and consciousness must have nodes of coordination and flow. The black rods can disrupt these nodes!"
They had found a breakthrough!
Both were greatly encouraged.
Toho Hiroshi immediately increased the density and force of the black rod projection, and manipulated the Limbo shadows to cooperate, aiming to precisely "nail" those areas that were condensing powerful Cursed Techniques or responsible for rapid recovery.
Gojo Satoru was responsible for covering and main attacks.
He used "Blue" for high-speed displacement, attracting most of the firepower, while using "Red" and "Purple" to focus bombardment on those areas affected by the black rods where recovery speed was greatly reduced.
"Splat!" "Splat!"
More and more black rods successfully pierced into Kenjaku's body. Although these black rods were still tiny compared to its massive volume, it was like throwing sand into a precision machine; the Cursed Energy circulation running smoothly inside began to experience more and more "stutters" and "clogs."
The release of Cursed Techniques was no longer as smooth, sometimes even conflicting with each other;
The body's recovery speed dropped significantly, and wounds caused by Gojo Satoru's powerful attacks began to take several seconds or even more than ten seconds to barely heal. Amidst the roar of billions of voices, a hint of confusion and pain was mixed in.
"Damn it! You insects!"
Kenjaku felt the threat and let out an angry shriek. It began to mobilize more power, attempting to force all the black rods out of its body at once, or concentrate its power to first eliminate Toho Hiroshi, who was constantly causing trouble.
However, the coordination between Toho Hiroshi and Gojo Satoru had already become incredibly tacit.
"Don't even think about it!"
Gojo Satoru laughed, and although the domain power of "Infinite Void" had not been fully deployed, it was already able to affect reality on a small scale.
He forcibly distorted the trajectories of some of Kenjaku's attacks, creating a safe output environment for Toho Hiroshi.
Toho Hiroshi seized the opportunity to "nail" more black rods, like scalpels, precisely near the core nodes where Kenjaku's energy reactions were most intense!
For a time, "stiffness" and "dimness" appeared in many areas of Kenjaku's massive body, as if it had fallen into some kind of systemic lag.
The scales of victory seemed to have begun to tilt slightly toward the two strongest people of the current era.
But both knew that this was just the beginning.
Kenjaku's background was far more than this, and the real fierce battle was yet to come.
And in the distance, the battle between Yuta and the others and Sukuna had also entered a white-hot stage.
The entire Shinjuku battlefield was divided into two whirlpools of death battles that would determine the fate of the world.
The battle situation seemed to be developing in a favorable direction, but Toho Hiroshi and Gojo Satoru both understood that such a massive Cursed Spirit could not be truly exorcised by external interference and consumption alone.
They had to find its core and deliver a fatal blow!
Toho Hiroshi's Rinnegan locked tightly onto the trajectory of the Cursed Energy flow on Kenjaku's massive body. Those nodes that became chaotic after being interfered with by the black rods were like lighthouses in the dark, guiding him in the right direction.
Finally, deep within the countless twisted human faces and seething shadows, he captured a trace of an abnormally stable and powerful source of Cursed Energy—that was exactly where Kenjaku's main body was hiding!
"Gojo! Cover me!"
Toho Hiroshi whispered, and his Dōjutsu Power was instantly pushed to the limit.
Gojo Satoru understood, and with a wave of his hand, several "Hollow Purple" blasted toward the Colossal Cursed Spirit.
In the split second of the explosion, Toho Hiroshi moved!
He first danced his hands, shooting specially made black rods infused with powerful Cursed Energy like a torrential rain toward the area where Kenjaku's core was located, forcing the defenses of that area to concentrate instinctively.
Immediately after, Rinnegan Dōjutsu—Amenotejikara, activated!
Whoosh!
Toho Hiroshi's figure instantly swapped positions with a black rod that had just reached the periphery of the core area.
This ability, which was close to space jumping, allowed him to ignore the heavy defenses in between and appear directly inside the Colossal Cursed Spirit, just inches away from the core.
"What?"
Kenjaku, hiding in the core, let out a roar of shock and anger; he had not expected the opponent to have such a method.
But Toho Hiroshi did not give him time to react.
"Susanoo · Complete Body!"
Majestic Cursed Energy surged out from Toho Hiroshi's body, transforming into a towering martial god.
The purple giant suddenly appeared inside the Cursed Spirit, its massive size even forcibly pushing apart and crushing the writhing shadows and twisted human faces around it.
The giant energy sword in the hand of the Complete Body Susanoo, carrying the power to cleave mountains and rivers, slashed fiercely toward the locked core—a flesh tumor wrapped in countless black Cursed markings, where Kenjaku's figure was vaguely visible!
"Boom —"
This blow not only contained the destructive power of Susanoo itself, but at the moment the blade struck the core, it triggered the most mysterious miracle in Cursed Energy combat—Black Flash.
Hum —
The space seemed to tremble because of it, and black lightning wrapped around the blade, not delaying, but magnifying the power of this blow exponentially.
That was the explosion produced by the perfect resonance of soul and energy.
"Arghhhh —"
Kenjaku let out a shrill scream. The flesh tumor wrapping his core shattered inch by inch under the ravages of the black lightning. He felt as if part of his soul had been scattered by this blow.
The massive body of the Colossal Cursed Spirit twitched and convulsed violently, the countless human faces on the surface wailed simultaneously, and the Cursed Energy of the entire body began to spiral out of control like a broken dam.
The giant hand of the Complete Body Susanoo took the opportunity to reach into the crack of the slashed core, grabbed it, and forcibly yanked the severely wounded and weak Kenjaku out of the Cursed Spirit's body.
"Success!"
Yuta Okkotsu and the others who were fighting fiercely with Sukuna in the distance caught a glimpse of this scene, and their hearts were shaken.
Gojo Satoru also breathed a sigh of relief, a smile curling on the corner of his mouth, preparing to step forward to join Toho Hiroshi and deliver the final blow to Kenjaku.
Kenjaku was tightly gripped in the hand of Susanoo, covered in blood, with scattered Cursed Energy, his face full of disbelief and resentment.
Because the Colossal Cursed Spirit had lost its core controller, its massive body began to collapse and dissolve, turning into the purest Curse and flowing everywhere, like a black mountain of flesh that was melting.
Victory seemed to be within reach.
