Chapter 318: Gojo Satoru vs Ryomen Sukuna Part 5
"Domain Expansion." 2x
Unfazed as he wiped the blood from his nose, Satoru once again used Domain Expansion at the same time as Sukuna.
However, Sukuna opened his domain just a fraction of a second slower than his opponent. The difference was less than 0.01 seconds, but Unlimited Void hit and shocked him for just a moment.
'You're busy glorifying your body… You're late to recover your Cursed Technique! It's less than 0.01 seconds, but… my Unlimited Void is already formed!'
*SWISH!*
*BAM!*
Realizing this, Satoru seized the opportunity, he dashed towards the stunned Sukuna and destroyed his heart with a powerful thrust directly into his chest.
'I'm not done yet… Destroying your heart is a must! But I also want your lungs and liver! I'll bring you closer to death than Yuji was at the detention center.'
With that idea, he didn't waste the moment when Sukuna was bathed in Unlimited Void and wanted to finish him off immediately.
But…
"With this treasure, I summon…"
Sukuna chanted the incantation in his heart.
The next moment, a large humanoid figure appeared between the two of them.
The humanoid figure was tall and muscular with four wings protruding from its eye sockets and a tail-like appendage extending from the back of its head. Right above it was a large eight-handled wheel. It wore black hakama bottoms and a white sash around its waist to cover most of its lower body.
Eight-Handled Sword Divergent Sila Divine General Mahoraga!
'Now? Mahoraga hasn't adapted to Unlimited Void, I'll destroy it in one attack.'
Knowing how dangerous Mahoraga was, Satoru didn't want the battle to drag on. He was about to use Red, but an unexpected situation occurred.
"Cursed Technique Reversal—"
*CRUSH-BANG!*
Mahoraga plunged the Sword of Extermination into the ground and completely destroyed the domain.
"What?!"
'Mahoraga has already adapted…'
Satoru didn't understand how Mahoraga had managed to adapt to Unlimited Void when it had just been summoned.
Meanwhile, Sukuna healed himself and pulled Mahoraga into his shadow.
'Gojo Satoru already knows about Mahoraga.'
Possessing Megumi's body, he had seen the memory of Satoru and Megumi's conversation discussing the Zenin Clan Head summoning Mahoraga against the Gojo Clan Head until they both died in the past.
'Mahoraga adapting to Unlimited Void in 0.01 seconds? Impossible! The wheel isn't spinning! And again, Mahoraga was summoned after Domain Expansion!'
'Sukuna taking over...? No… the one taking over is…'
"Megumi's soul!"
In just a short time, Satoru realized that Megumi's soul was bearing the burden of adaptation so that Mahoraga could counter Unlimited Void without risking destruction.
"Your face says you want to say something." The confused expression of his opponent amused Sukuna.
"No. I'm just happy that you're fighting me so hard." Satoru mocked him for trying hard, but the comment was returned.
"HAH, you're worse. Unlimited Void, the Cursed Technique that is only activated within the domain… Honestly, I thought it was troublesome. I wanted to get rid of that card from your hand."
"When I wasn't using Domain Amplification, I used Fushiguro Megumi to adapt using Ten Shadows. Therefore, I couldn't use Cursed Techniques other than those already within the domain, but it seems that was enough for me." Sukuna revealed casually.
"The one that was taken over was the 'adaptation process', not the result."
"It doesn't mean you used Megumi's soul to adapt to Unlimited Void. If I use Domain Expansion again, you'll have no choice but to summon Mahoraga. Then I'll destroy it in one attack."
Satoru believed that by expanding his domain again, he could force Sukuna to release Mahoraga and destroy it in one attack.
"HA HA HA… You can't use your Domain Expansion anymore." Crossing his arms over his chest, Sukuna sneered.
"….!!!"
The claim was true, his nose gushed blood profusely when Satoru tried to activate Domain Expansion.
"You're recovering your burned Innate Cursed Technique with the Reverse Cursed Technique, it seems you've reached your limit."
"The Reverse Cursed Technique is etched around the prefrontal cortex of your right brain. You're the one who destroyed your brain and restored it with the Reverse Cursed Technique to be able to heal your burned Cursed Technique!"
Like a teacher teaching a student, Sukuna analyzed his opponent's condition just by looking.
"Ugh…"
Satoru fell to his knees, unable to open his domain due to the accumulated damage to his brain.
"Unlike healing your flesh and bones, you've reached your limit, haven't you? Even if not, you'll still die or your precision will become so small that you can't keep up with me."
"Next, I'll close my domain with a barrier. There's no way out. All I have to do is slash you and adapt to Limitless."
Mahoraga's figure disappeared, leaving only the wheel floating above Sukuna's head.
"Until the count, the strongest… The one born when I was absent."
It wasn't a compliment, but blatant sarcasm.
"Just an ordinary person."
After Sukuna said that, Malevolent Shrine was activated, but his domain suddenly shattered.
*CRUSH-BANG!*
Suddenly, Sukuna bled profusely from his nose and eyes as well. It was less than ten seconds, but he was still affected by Unlimited Void during the last domain clash. The damage to his brain prevented him from using his domain as well.
In short, both fighters were unable to use their Domain Expansions.
"HA HA HA HA!!! YOU'RE AFFECTED TOO!!!"
Needless to say, Satoru laughed hysterically at the scene before him.
"My students are watching, I still look cool!" He said while pointing at the crows in the sky.
On the other hand, anger raged in Sukuna's heart. He had just shown off, the next second his face was slapped hard.
Round two begins!
*SWOOSH!*
*SWISH!*
Gaining a second wind, Satoru used Blue to pull Sukuna towards him to land a powerful right punch.
*BAM!*
The punch landed on his face until his skull cracked, this reminded Sukuna of Yorozu's words.
'I should teach you more about love, about absolute power, and the peace that lies beneath it.'
This only made him even more annoyed.
