Jujutsu Kaisen: Survive First, Become a God Later

Mahito ran across the ground formed by gravitational ripples.

As he ran, he placed Kirigiri at his waist.

Unconsciously, his Simple Domain began to contract.

In the original story, most people who could use Simple Domain almost solely treated it as a temporary means to counter Domain Expansions.

These people forgot the true way to use Simple Domain.

When Simple Domain first appeared, it was used by Kasumi Miwa during the exchange event between the two schools in the original story.

At that time, she stood with her feet apart, placed her longsword at her waist, looked down at the hilt, and a ripple of Cursed Energy emanated from her body.

In her spiritual vision, aside from that circle with a radius of 2.25 meters, the world outside the circle appeared as boundless black.

That was the most primitive, most fundamental way to use Simple Domain.

Mahito's entire body brimmed with Cursed Energy.

The high-speed circulation caused the Cursed Energy to overflow, appearing like burning flames.

He seemed clad in a coat of Cursed Energy fire.

But when he placed Kirigiri at his waist, all burning phenomena instantly vanished.

The Cursed Energy shifted from movement to stillness, clinging perfectly to his body.

He gripped the hilt, feeling Kirigiri's emotions.

A quiet girl appeared in his spiritual realm.

The girl knelt with her eyes closed under a cherry blossom tree.

Countless cherry blossoms drifted down in the wind, landing on the girl's long black hair.

She gently opened her eyes, looked at Mahito, and extended her hand.

Mahito grasped this hand.

Tsumiki Fushiguro had fulfilled her promise.

Due to time constraints, she had roughly browsed manga about weapon personification.

Her first choice was definitely Elemental Gelade, but after researching for a while, she settled for Soul Eater.

Yet, in the end, she said to Mahito with a blank expression.

"Wouldn't the spiritual world weapon personification from Bleach be just fine?"

Yes, the millennium's strongest Construction Sorcerer had failed.

One week was still too short.

She couldn't complete the experiment of personifying this Tsukumogami.

Even so, she offered valuable advice.

Actually, just as she herself said, since complete personification couldn't be achieved, could spiritual personification be done?

It is possible.

This isn't even a shot in the dark; it has a solid theoretical foundation.

An Innate Domain.

This is a concept first proposed by Ryomen Sukuna in the manga, representing the deepest part of a person's spirit.

At that time, Ryomen Sukuna only existed as a Cursed Object.

Yet he could still manifest an Innate Domain and even invade Yuji Itadori's spiritual world.

Ordinary Tsukumogami certainly cannot possess an Innate Domain, but Mahito's Idle Transfiguration can subvert this concept.

It wasn't as difficult as imagined.

In fact, he had already touched upon this point when he created the second-generation intelligent Cursed Spirits during his soul modification experiments.

Now, although limited to the spiritual realm, Mirokuji Kirigiri is truly alive.

She possesses spirituality equal to a human and can use Cursed Techniques autonomously.

This also enables her to—to use Black Flash.

A wisp of black flame rose from Kirigiri's hilt, and at the same moment, black flames also ignited from the tip of Kirigiri's blade.

The world had never seen a true Fusion Black Flash before.

Because Black Flash itself is a matter of resonance between a Sorcerer's physical attack and Cursed Energy attack, no matter how much their hearts are in sync, the most they could achieve was the scene where Yuji Itadori and Aoi Todo used Black Flash together in the original story—a magnificent sight not seen in a century.

But now, at this very moment, the first instance of a Fusion Black Flash in the history of the Jujutsu World appeared.

The Tsukumogami and its user were of one mind, their Cursed Energy linked, triggering Black Flash simultaneously!

Suddenly Mahito paused.

His Simple Domain had shrunk to a radius of 2.25 meters, the most standard Simple Domain.

Within Yuki Tsukumo's Domain Expansion, a Simple Domain clearly has to withstand immense pressure, making its structure very unstable.

Yet now, at this moment, the structure of the Simple Domain was incredibly smooth, blending silently into the world.

Mahito used the most primitive Simple Domain.

In that era a thousand years ago, to deal with Domain Expansions that ordinary Jujutsu Sorcerers could never reach, the Simple Domain created by Sadatsuna Ashiya became their only choice.

Under this premise, the core philosophy of the New Shadow Style founded by Sadatsuna Ashiya was widely known:

—When there is no other choice, charge forward with total devotion!

And now Mahito personally changed this philosophy, overlaying it with his own.

He said to himself:

—With a mind free of distractions, one can transcend the mundane and enter the divine.

The simulated black hole in the sky was finally thrown down by Yuki Tsukumo.

The entire Domain Expansion: Sumeru Vajra Karma Wheel bowed before this mass and density that transcended common sense.

Yuki Tsukumo shouldn't have been able to use this ability, because the pressure was so great that even a Domain Expansion couldn't hold it.

But she couldn't bring herself not to use it.

If it was for a hearty battle with Mahito, she had to use it!

She also firmly believed that Mahito would not dodge.

He would face it, he would transcend it, he would achieve a breakthrough.

If he couldn't, then he would die.

—Come, Mahito.
