Isekai Adventure in the Dimensional Cube-Chapter 1325 - 949: Becoming the Enemy of the Entire World of Sorcery
"Plop..."
As the clear sound of dripping water reached Itadori Yuji’s ears, he slowly awoke, realizing after the fact and opened his drowsy eyes.
"Where am I...?"
He looked around in confusion, feeling as if he might have arrived in hell.
Below him was an endless stretch of blood-red water, like a lake of blood, with the sound of water pattering.
Above him was a sky of the same hue, with swirling clouds of crimson mist.
He lay in this blood water, seemingly floating on the surface, yet he felt no sensation of being soaked.
Itadori Yuji instinctively held his forehead, trying hard to recall what happened before he lost consciousness.
He remembered being in Shibuya with Nanami Kento and Fushiguro Megumi, pressing forward towards the third layer of veils after overcoming numerous challenges.
But then, they were attacked by a man dressed as a monk.
The man first ambushed Fushiguro Megumi, injuring him severely, making him unable to fight.
He then summoned a Curse Spirit, controlling gravity, leaving him and Nanami Kento powerless to resist.
Nanami Kento called him Geto Suguru.
The man looked at him with very peculiar eyes and launched an attack against him.
Despite his best efforts to resist, he was ultimately defeated, and he lost consciousness.
"So... was I killed? Am I in hell now?"
As soon as this murmur escaped his lips, it was met with a mocking, deep laugh.
"You can consider this place hell, because my Domain Expansion is indeed akin to hell for you."
This voice, so familiar that it filled Itadori Yuji with hatred, swept away all his confusion.
"Splash!"
The sound of raging water arose as Itadori Yuji stood up from the blood water, looking ahead.
There lay an altar piled high with the skulls of various beasts.
Above the altar, the bones of a colossal beast occupied the sky, making one wonder if this place was inside that beast.
And at the top of the altar, a fiend dressed in a loose kimono, looking identical to Itadori Yuji, marked with black lines all over him, and with an additional pair of eyes below his eyelids, sat there.
"Ryomensukuna!"
Itadori Yuji’s gaze turned dangerous.
"Don’t call me by my name, brat." Ryomensukuna looked down at Itadori Yuji like a king of evil overlooking the world, saying, "Without my permission, you are not allowed to speak to me."
"Ha!" Itadori Yuji laughed instantly, unaffected by the evil oppression, mocking, "You’re still saying those grandiose things? You’re just a dead man! What’s there to show off?"
"I find you rather bold, brat." Ryomensukuna seemed accustomed to Itadori Yuji’s attitude, chuckling leisurely, "A weakling like you should be groveling on the ground, never lifting your head. If it weren’t for you being my vessel, you would’ve died countless times the moment you stepped into the world of sorcery. Do you understand?"
"...Indeed, I am weak." Itadori Yuji remained silent for a moment, finally not denying it, saying, "I thought I had gotten stronger, but compared to those truly strong, I’m still too weak."
"If I weren’t so weak, Fushiguro and Nanami wouldn’t have fallen in front of that man with sutures on his head, right?"
"Quite self-aware." Ryomensukuna raised an eyebrow, saying, "Even if you were stronger, you couldn’t change your fate."
"You should feel honored, for I am within you, thus granting you the chance to stay on this stage and witness everything."
"You should also feel unfortunate, because your future is already doomed."
"The needle of destiny has begun to tick, the world is about to fall into ruin, and what role will you play in such a world?"
"Well, I’m not interested at all, as you are very dull."
These words fell into Itadori Yuji’s ears, yet they didn’t change his attitude.
"I can’t understand what you’re saying, bastard." Itadori Yuji frankly said, "Do you think I want to have anything to do with you? I wish you would just get lost!"
"So, what do you plan to do by bringing me here?"
"From your appearance, I guess I’m not dead yet?"
"Since I’m not dead yet, hurry and send me back!"
He was still thinking about the situation outside, wondering if that monk named Geto Suguru was dealing with Fushiguro Megumi and Nanami Kento.
If so, he must go out and fight alongside them.
"Rest assured, the fight is already over, and neither of them is dead." Sukuna naturally knew what Itadori Yuji was thinking, with a familiar, defiant smile appearing on his face, and said, "But what awaits them is a fate that has long been decided, especially for that person... Fushiguro Megumi."
Mentioning Fushiguro Megumi brought a slight change in Sukuna’s tone.
It was a tone of interest in something, unlike the dullness and indifference he showed towards Itadori Yuji.
"What happened to Fushiguro?"
Itadori Yuji seemed to sense something bad, glaring at Sukuna.
Sukuna had no intention of answering Itadori Yuji’s question.
"I am currently filled with yearning."
He suddenly said this.
"Yearning to be resurrected and truly return to this world."
