Isekai Adventure in the Dimensional Cube-Chapter 1319 - 946: Ryomensukuna

A thousand years ago, the Heian era was a time of supernatural chaos and disorder.

In that era, ferocious Curse Spirits were countless, powerful Curse Masters were also everywhere, and the entire world of sorcery was like a cursed vortex, engulfing all of humanity and stirring it wantonly.

Chaos...

Slaughter...

Blood...

Terror...

These always filled the world of sorcery in that era, making death a commonplace occurrence of the time.

And within such an era, a demon god was born.

He possessed four arms and two faces, and even in an era when sorcery was at its peak, he was undoubtedly the king.

Curse Mages gathered their strength and challenged him, but ultimately all failed.

Even renowned, powerful Curse Mage family elites sent to subdue him were completely annihilated.

No one could defeat him; few could even escape with their lives when facing him.

Even in such an era, he dominated the entire world of sorcery with his power, and he was eventually welcomed into the Imperial Palace of Heian-kyo, worshiped as an object of the new season’s festival.

He was Ryomensukuna.

Ryomensukuna was the demon god of a thousand years ago.

Ryomensukuna was the King of Curses.

He was powerful and evil, akin to a natural disaster, and stirred unknown levels of slaughter and chaos during his lifetime.

Even after his death, the twenty fingers severed from his four arms turned into special-grade cursed objects, sealed across the entire country.

Twenty fingers, each one a special-grade cursed object!

From this, one can see how incredibly powerful Ryomensukuna was at his peak!

And in this era a thousand years later, this King of Curses has been resurrected.

A young man, encountering a Curse Spirit and trying to save his companions, swallowed a Ryomensukuna finger that was sealed locally and accidentally fell into his hands, gaining its cursed power.

A regular person swallowing a special-grade cursed object would surely face a dead end.

But although the young man was an ordinary person without cursed power, his innate talent, formidable physical strength, and unique body constitution allowed him to successfully digest Ryomensukuna’s finger, becoming his vessel.

The King of Curses from a thousand years ago resurrected within the young man’s body, his soul parasitizing inside and sharing the body with the young man.

As a result, the young man stepped into the world of sorcery, perceived as a threat and a curse by the upper echelons of the sorcery world who were wary of Ryomensukuna’s presence, leading to his secret death sentence.

The young man was Itadori Yuji, who seemed ordinary but was exceptionally gifted from birth.

As the vessel of the King of Curses from a thousand years ago, his body should have been completely taken over, yet he managed to suppress Ryomensukuna inside, retaining control over his body through sheer innate talent.

However, today, Itadori Yuji has fallen.

First, he lost consciousness and then swallowed a large number of fingers, allowing Ryomensukuna inside him to regain most of his power and take control once more.

This was the second time Ryomensukuna took proactive control of the body, manifesting outwardly.

The first time was right after Itadori Yuji swallowed the finger.

At that time, Ryomensukuna immediately encountered Gojo Satoru and was easily handled by him.

There was nothing he could do; with only the cursed power of one finger, merely a twentieth of his peak power, challenging the strongest sorcerer of the time was out of the question.

But this time, due to a monk’s years of collection and multiple fingers stolen from the high-risk Cursed Objects Storage at the sorcery high school, Ryomensukuna gained the power of fifteen fingers, a power transformation from before.

It’s just a pity that the person he most wants to retaliate against, Gojo Satoru, has already been sealed.

So, he came here, standing before Reiger.

"————"

In the ruins-like underground platform, two young men stood facing each other from a distance, one wearing a white uniform, the other a black uniform, like a confrontation between light and dark, suffusing the air with a terrifying pressure.

Reiger looked coldly at the familiar yet unfamiliar existence before him, saying nothing.

Facing Reiger’s gaze, Sukuna bore a bold and fearless smile.

He had black stripes on his face, extending from the crown of his head to his cheeks, then to his chin and nose, with more patterns visible on his chest, shoulders, back, abdomen, and wrists, particularly on the shoulders, forming many tattoos. His nails were black and sharp, his eyes subtly glowing red, his demeanor indeed akin to a demon god.

Reiger could feel an overwhelming cursed power coursing through the other, a power like black flames, ferocious and wicked.

If cursed power is extracted from human negative emotions, having more or less a negative nature, then Sukuna’s cursed power transcends even that extreme, a kind of darkness that can even be termed "Fallen Heaven."

This purest, most extreme evil surpasses any villain Reiger has encountered thus far.

Kibutsuji Muzan from the Demon Slayer World...

The Polluted Immortal Spirit of Earth Mistake World...

Ainz Ooal Gown and the Floor Guardians of the Nasalik Underground Tomb from the world of Overlord...

These beings, are not comparable to the figure before him, only the Beast of Abomination manifesting human evils, Koyanskaya, and the One-eyed Black Dragon could be superior.
