Anime Collector: Starting With the Malevolent Shrine

Chapter 87: Chapter 87 ⟴ Open, Divine Flame! Mushroom Cloud!



۞ Domain Expansion, Spiritual Enhancement ⟴ Malevolent Shrine! ۞

The terrifying Cursed Energy made Mei tremble in body and soul.

The Malevolent Shrine Domain, enhanced by Yin-Yang Power, radiated an overwhelming presence that made the Impurities in the wasteland freeze in their tracks.

۞ Innate Technique ⟴ Dismantle! ۞

Before the Domain, Daiki unleashed his strikes. The invisible slashes filled the sky, blooming like brilliant lotus flowers.

۞ Innate Technique ⟴ Cleave! ۞

With Daiki at the center, ethereal slashes formed beautiful petals layer upon layer, spreading in all directions. Hills crumbled instantly, and Cursed Energy particles dispersed toward the contaminated areas alongside the invisible slashes.

Roar!

A spider-like filth, over ten meters tall, let out a wail before its massive body was stripped to bone by the slashes and reduced to dust.

Within a kilometer radius, everything was swept clean in a single breath. The wandering Impurities, drawn by the commotion, surged toward the area.

The three people behind Daiki swallowed dryly. The destructive power of the Malevolent Shrine Domain was terrifying — the army of Impurities before them had vanished instantly.

Even as mere observers, they could feel the filth's despair.

Mei, who had just mastered the Black Flash technique, was even more shocked.

Though Black Flash's striking power was formidable, it remained a single-target technique, incapable of such devastating destruction. Against a Domain like this, it would crumble instantly.

'Wait! Isn't Daiki-kun's Domain the same as Ryōmen Sukuna's? Historical records say Sukuna's Domain radius was only 200 meters — why is Daiki-kun's Domain nearly a kilometer now?'

Sorcerers capable of Domain Expansion were as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns.

Most Sorcerers used closed Domains — even Satoru Gojo, the strongest in the current Jujutsu World, with his Unlimited Void, was no exception.

These closed Domains had one obvious flaw: while incredibly sturdy inside, they were vulnerable from the outside.

Open Domains solved this weakness, possessing overwhelming long-range attack capability that other Sorcerers could only dream of.

Yet even this "long-range" meant only a 200-meter radius — a Domain that only Ryōmen Sukuna, the King of Curses, could comprehend.

Now Daiki was using Sukuna's Domain and exceeding its limits.

This left Mei speechless.

What puzzled her even more was his Innate Cursed Technique. What kind of technique could display such world-shaking power?

{T/N: She's talking about the 'Sex' Technique.}

'Soul-taking technique, Sukuna's slashing technique, spatial transference technique, the Hundred Teachings technique that transfers abilities to others...' Her racing thoughts sent chills down her spine.

With Daiki's abilities, he could dominate the entire Jujutsu World.

'Ryōmen Sukuna... King of Curses... merely a mortal who happened to live in an era without Daiki-kun.'

If Sukuna were to be reborn, his expression upon seeing Daiki would be something to behold.

Mei's expression turned peculiar as an image formed in her mind: Sukuna with one finger, facing Daiki with nineteen fingers.

No, wait! She had to account for his own vast Cursed Energy.

Which meant... a one-fingered Sukuna would face a Daiki with thirty-nine fingers equivalent in power.

Mei couldn't help but laugh at the thought.

Perhaps it was better for Sukuna to have died a thousand years ago.

The three girls stared at the older woman's sudden laughter in surprise.

"Sorry, just thought of something interesting." Mei waved her hand, focusing back on the wasteland ruins.

Countless Impurities retreated, only for more to surge forward.

Domain Expansion consumed far more Cursed Energy than Black Flash. With Daiki's Domain filled with countless slashes, he couldn't maintain it much longer.

"Huff—" He exhaled heavily.

Since obtaining Cursed Energy rivaling Sukuna at his peak, he had never released it so freely and pleasurably before.

"Stand behind me."

Setting aside thoughts of continued release, the four others obediently stood behind Daiki.

Though their first impression of this senpai had been poor, his displayed power made Ayase and Kirino's hearts surge with excitement. His mere presence filled them with security.

"Senpai, are we leaving now?" Ayase asked before Iroha could speak.

Her gentle tone made Iroha turn her head stiffly. If she didn't know Ayase's personality, she might have grown wary.

When she spoke, Iroha was reminded of Itsuki's manner of speaking.

"Almost, let me try one last technique." Daiki's hands came together slightly.

The Cursed Energy particles from the invisible slashes had already covered the ruins.

A terrifyingly high-temperature flame suddenly rose up, briefly illuminating the blood-red wasteland.

"Fūga (Open)!"

The restless Impurities sensed their impending doom. Like boiling water, they surged toward the enemy.

The Divine Flame possessed extreme heat but lacked speed and range. Sukuna had used binding to alter the Domain structure and seal space, allowing his high-temperature flames to explode within a fixed Domain range. He then used dispersed Cursed Energy particles to achieve an explosion-like effect.

Daiki didn't need such complexity. The six Sukuna fingers contributed by Suguru had given him six rewards — one being the ability to enhance his Cursed Energy's burst power, its explosiveness.

He wanted to test the extent of this enhancement. If it proved insufficient, he would abandon the technique.

Even Sukuna faced restrictions with this ability. It required dispersed Cursed Energy particles and could only be used within a Domain.

It served as an unexpected killing move, though against equal opponents, opportunities to use it were rare. At that level, battles typically came down to Domain competitions.

Daiki could strike with his Domain from 500 meters away. Closed Domain Expansions would shatter before it, while Open Domain Expansions couldn't match his range. This technique was merely an extra tool.

As his fingers spread apart, a flaming arrow appeared.

۞ Innate Technique ⟴ Divine Flame! ۞

Whoosh!

The high-temperature flame arrow tore through the sky, instantly igniting the Cursed Energy particles dispersed throughout the wasteland.

The next moment, terrifying flames shot skyward.

Daiki and Mei's pupils contracted instantly.

BOOM!

A deafening explosion echoed through the wasteland, the white light blazed so bright that no one could keep their eyes open. The sweeping heat wave vaporized the massive Impurities instantly.

A majestic mushroom cloud rose from the wasteland ground, the released storm sent even the largest Impurities flying.

Daiki carefully controlled his Cursed Energy and Domain to protect a three-meter radius around him.

"Let's go!" His words vanished in the roar.

Ayase and the others felt their bodies lighten.

When they came to their senses, they found themselves back in the original room.

Mei and the others remained stunned by the terrifying sight of the mushroom cloud, a primal fear gripping their hearts.

'Wow. This Cursed Energy burst enhancement is incredible. I didn't even use binding to constrain the Cursed Energy particles' explosion range. The power could have been even more devastating.'

Daiki's throat was parched, and he reached for a water cup.

"Daiki-kun, I'll..." The ever-attentive Mei immediately understood, kneeling to offer him the cup.

Her overly deferential manner left Daiki at a loss for words.

"Senpai, drinking like that might make you choke, let me help you." Iroha interjected, her voice honeyed and warm.

Though Ayase and Kirino remained still, their eyes betrayed a mix of awe and wonder.

Back at the Field of Misfortune.

In the desolate wasteland ruins, several figures materialized, gazing in disbelief at the massive crater.

"Has the power of the outside world's Onmyōji truly reached such heights?"

"If there were a few more Onmyōji of this caliber..."
