Isekai Adventure in the Dimensional Cube-Chapter 1318 - 945: Curse King (Part 2)
Thatβs why, Nanami Kento regrets it deeply now.
They should have retreated. ππ£π²ππ¨π²ππ»πΌπ―π²π.π°ππ¦
After all, the enemy they encountered this time was just too powerful.
"Donβt look at me like that, Nanami-kun."
The monk-like man looked down at the fallen Nanami Kento, with a nonchalant smile on his face, speaking quite amicably.
"Even if you keep staring, the outcome wonβt change, you know?"
Upon hearing this, Nanami Kento wanted to get up, but couldnβt.
His body was covered in wounds, and one hand had been severed, lying nearby, being gnawed by a beast-shaped Curse Spirit.
Meanwhile, an overwhelming force of gravity was acting upon him, making it difficult for the battered and one-handed Nanami Kento to even move.
"Are you... really Geto Suguru?"
Nanami Kento could only speak with difficulty, eyes fixated on the familiar man before him through his shattered glasses, seemingly trying to find any signs of disguise.
"Gojo Satoru asked me the same question, is it so unbelievable to see me unharmed?" The man, apparently Geto Suguru, spoke with a chuckle, "Well, you are just a dispensable character. Remembering the many warm memories I have with you, Iβll spare your life this time."
"Consider it the mercy of a senior, albeit late. You should thank me, Nanami-kun."
After speaking, the monk-like man seemed to lose interest in Nanami Kento and turned away.
In front of him lay another battered person on the ground.
It was Itadori Yuji.
At this moment, Itadori Yuji had already lost consciousness, without any ability to resist.
"Hold on... wait..."
Seeing this scene, from another direction, Fushiguro Megumi, who was struggling to stand on shaky legs, couldnβt help but raise his hand.
But as soon as he assumed a unique stance, an astonishing gravity immediately pressed down on Fushiguro Megumi, forcing him to the ground.
"Donβt act rashly, Fushiguro-kun." The monk-like man extended a hand towards Fushiguro Megumi, giving him a deep look, "I wonβt kill you either."
"After all, I donβt want to face that terrifying alien-ringed Divine General."
"Please just lie there quietly and donβt think of releasing the monster with a mutual destruction mindset. It will be better for both of us."
In fact, when the monk-like man first appeared in front of Itadori Yuji and the others, his primary target was not Itadori Yuji or Nanami Kento, but Fushiguro Megumi.
As he mentioned, if Fushiguro Megumi summoned the alien-ringed Divine General with the intention of mutual destruction, even he might have to flee.
The most effective way to deal with that alien-ringed Divine General is to take him down with a one-hit kill before he can manifest his abilities.
If unable to do that, even if Gojo Satoru were here, heβd have to escape facing that monster.
Unfortunately, despite having the means, he couldnβt guarantee taking down the alien-ringed Divine General.
Therefore, the monk-like man first dealt with Fushiguro Megumi, even resorting to a sneak attack.
"[Ten Shadow Techniques]..."
The monk-like manβs gaze towards Fushiguro Megumi was slightly heated.
"If I could obtain this technique, Fushiguro Megumiβs body would indeed have acquisition value."
Regrettably, even if the [Ten Shadow Techniques] were obtained, apart from the initial [Jade Hound], the remaining nine shikigami require taming before they can be used properly.
If the alien-ringed Divine General cannot be tamed, then obtaining the [Ten Shadow Techniques] would be pointless.
"The risk is too high, letβs forget it."
The heat in the monk-like manβs eyes gradually faded as he continued walking forward and reached Itadori Yujiβs side.
A large Curse Spirit suddenly appeared beside the monk-like man, extending its hand to lift Itadori Yuji up.
The monk-like man looked at the young boy in front of him, for some reason, his gaze turned odd.
"If possible, I wouldnβt want it to be this way either."
With a trace of chilling affection mixed with pity, the monk-like man looked at Itadori Yuji, as if gazing upon his own son.
"For the sake of my grand plan, I can only sacrifice you, Yuji."
Thus murmuring to himself, the monk-like man took out several objects from his bosom.
They were blood-red fingers with a hideous appearance, akin to ghastly appendages.
Suddenly, there it was, the fingers of Ryomensukuna.
The monk inserted Ryomensukunaβs fingers one by one into Itadori Yujiβs mouth, forcing him to swallow them.
"Isnβt this about enough?" The monk let the Curse Spirit release Itadori Yuji, and with a smile said, "You should wake up now."
"Curse King."
As soon as he finished speaking, Itadori Yuji, released by the Curse Spirit, staggered but did not fall. He stood firm on the spot.
"Buzz..."
A strange fluctuation of curse energy appeared, and dark patterns crawled over Itadori Yujiβs body, reaching up to his face.
Underneath Itadori Yujiβs eyelids and at the corners of his eyes, two eyes suddenly snapped open.
Soon after, Itadori Yujiβs own eyes also slowly opened.
"Well then."
A low, evil laugh emerged from Itadori Yujiβs mouth at that moment.
"So it was you."
At this moment, the presence of Itadori Yuji felt different.
He felt evil.
He felt terrifying.
"Long time no see." The monk, as if speaking to an old acquaintance, smiled at the evil presence before him and said, "If you hadnβt woken up, you might have missed a good show."
"The show you once said would appear in your hands someday?" The evil presence laughed darkly, "It seems, a thousand years have passed, and youβve already prepared everything."
"Yes." The monk squinted his eyes and said, "The time is ripe, Gojo Satoru has also been sealed away by the Prison Gate Border, itβs time to change this world."
"What do you plan to do?"
This question was met with the evil presenceβs hearty laughter.
"Of course, whatever I want!"
The laughter of the evil presence was filled with disdain for life, a pursuit of freedom, and a desire for chaos.
Thatβs the kind of laughter only someone who can trample on everything with impunity would make.
Perhaps, compared to him, Mahito could only be considered minor evil.
Mahitoβs malice was only directed at humans, whereas this presenceβs malice was directed at the entire world.
"Is that so?"
The monk didnβt seem to intend for the presence to do anything for him, or perhaps he knew clearly that if he dared to order the presence around casually, he would definitely be the first to die.
"Itβs a pity that Gojo Satoru has been sealed." The evil presence seemed unconcerned with the monkβs thoughts, speaking to himself, "I originally wanted to kill him with my own hands, but now I have to spare him for the time being."
The evil presence turned towards the direction of the third layer [Barrier].
"And then, that kid named Reiger Brillhaut is over there, isnβt he?"
The inquiry from the evil presence made the monk squint his already narrowed eyes even further.
"As expected, youβve taken an interest in him too." The monk said meaningfully, "Do you want to meet him?"
"Of course." The evil presence replied without hesitation, "Iβve been waiting for it."
"I look forward to him showing me that powerful Shikigami again."
Recalling the scene he saw at the Jujutsu High and the curse energy he felt, the smile on the face of the evil presence deepened.
Yet, no matter how you looked at it, it seemed filled with malice.
"He is quite strong, you know." The monk still smiled though reminding, "Maybe even not much less than Gojo Satoru, with your current power, you may not be able to do much to him."
The evil presence ignored the monkβs words, as if too disdainful to say anything, and left directly.
Seeing this, the monk also didnβt care, only watching the figure departing and smiled.
"Then, enjoy yourself, Ryomensukuna."
Very soon, the monk also left.
Only Fushiguro Megumi and Nanami Kento remained, watching the presence that had occupied Itadori Yujiβs body slowly leave, feeling regret and unwillingness, and falling into unconsciousness.
