Chapter 160: The Final World Adjudication!
The moment Kenjaku died, a black vortex opened where his body had fallen.
It looked like a hole torn into the world.
From within it, Cursed Spirits poured out without end.
Roars, shrieks, and howls overlapped as they rushed into the open air, venting the madness of their regained freedom.
These were all the Cursed Spirits once controlled by Cursed Spirit Manipulation.
There were thousands of them.
Among them were even Special Grade Cursed Spirits.
Faced with the chaotic scene, Satoru Gojo could only shrug helplessly.
"This is seriously troublesome."
He had known that killing Kenjaku would cause the Cursed Spirits under his control to run wild.
But if he had missed that chance to kill Kenjaku, the problem that came afterward would have been far worse than what stood before him now.
"Ah, I can't clean up this whole mess by myself right now."
Gojo glanced at the horde of Cursed Spirits.
"Guess I'll have to leave part of it to someone else."
Fortunately, he had prepared ahead of time.
Before entering Shibuya, he had already called for backup. They should be arriving soon.
As he spoke, Gojo turned and walked toward Yuji Itadori.
Looking at his student's bisected body, Gojo's brows furrowed.
The slash had cleanly severed the Cursed Energy core in Yuji's abdomen.
A wound in that location could not be repaired by Reverse Cursed Technique.
In other words, Yuji Itadori was already dead.
Gojo's deep eyes revealed nothing, but his voice became heavy.
"I really should just kill every last one of those old bastards in the higher-ups."
His words were filled with chilling killing intent.
This was no longer a joke.
He had made up his mind.
But just as Gojo bent down to retrieve Yuji's body, he noticed something.
Dark threads were spreading out from the severed parts of Yuji's body.
They extended from one half to the other, intertwining like countless black sutures. Then they tightened, slowly pulling the bisected body back together.
Gojo stared for a moment.
Then, despite the grimness on his face, he could not help chuckling.
"As expected of the legendary Lord Asuramaru. I didn't think even being cut in half could be reversed."
No answer came.
Gojo did not mind.
He turned around and tossed the still-unconscious Megumi Fushiguro near the same spot. Then he sat down on a large boulder and watched the rampaging Cursed Spirits surge forward.
Because the residual Cursed Energy left from the earlier battle was far too terrifying, the Cursed Spirits instinctively avoided this area.
They fled in other directions instead.
Even the Special Grades were no exception.
The lingering aura here filled them with fear they could not describe.
At the same time, Asuramaru released his Demon Power and activated self-healing to repair Yuji's bisected body.
Vast Demon Power flooded in.
The self-healing ability operated at maximum output.
However, perhaps because of the influence of Arcana and Mahito, the current self-healing ability seemed to have evolved in some way.
Even death itself was no longer absolute.
It could use Demon Power to stabilize the soul.
Even if the physical body had completely perished, as long as the soul remained, restoring the body and making the heart beat again could bring the person back to life.
Regarding this ability, even Asuramaru could only describe it with two words.
Heaven-defying.
But just as he began repairing Yuji's body, a system notification rang in his mind.
[Ding! Intense negative emotions detected from Special Grade Sorcerer Uraume before death. Gained 50,000 emotion points!]
[Intense negative emotions detected from Special Grade Sorcerer Kenjaku before death. Gained 70,000 emotion points!]
[Intense negative emotions detected from the King of Curses, Ryomen Sukuna, before death. Gained a total of 300,000 emotion points!]
[This instance has yielded a total of 200,000 Demon Power. Will Feedback be performed for Sword Master Yuji Itadori?]
Hearing the system prompt, Asuramaru answered quickly.
"No need for Feedback this time. Proceed directly with the final adjudication."
[Ding! Feedback will not be performed this time.]
[Initiating this world's adjudication.]
[Templates: Arcana, Wind Sword.]
[Sword Master: Yuji Itadori.]
[Total battles fought: 13. Total victories: 13.]
[Total Cursed Spirits slain: 132.]
[Special Grades slain: Sealed Sukuna, Sealed Uraume, Sealed Jogo, Sealed Hanami...]
[King of Curses, Ryomen Sukuna, slain.]
[Condition: Nineteen fingers, Divine/Buddha state. Judged as complete victory.]
[Title obtained: The Advancing Glutton, Yuji Itadori!]
[Mission completed: Slay the King of Curses, Ryomen Sukuna.]
[Reward: 200,000 emotion points!]
[Due to special circumstances, the next crossing will begin in one month. Otherwise, the next crossing time cannot be determined. Please judge for yourself, Host.]
Asuramaru was slightly startled.
"System, what do you mean by special circumstances?"
The system immediately answered.
[Ding! Our current location is the Seventh Realm of the Myriad Realms. According to available information, the Myriad Realms Crossing Administration has detected an alliance of illegal crossers and plans to seal off the entire Seventh Realm in one month to conduct an eradication operation.]
[The restrictions on the Seventh Realm will only be lifted once the illegal crossers have been completely eliminated.]
Hearing the system's explanation, Asuramaru could not help recalling the being he had encountered during a previous crossing.
That person who had shouted, "Little Blackie, put in some effort!"
That existence had destroyed an entire world with a single strike.
If beings at that level fought in the so-called Seventh Realm, then getting caught in the crossfire through sheer bad luck would be disastrous.
Although Asuramaru had the [Indestructible] buff, if he truly took a hit of that scale, he did not want to gamble on whether he could survive it.
Still, he had one month.
Then he could only farm as many emotion points as possible before leaving.
With that thought, Asuramaru spoke again.
"System, as you said, start the crossing in thirty days."
The system responded at once.
[Ding! In thirty days, the system will automatically initiate the crossing. Please be prepared, Host.]
With that confirmation, Asuramaru finally felt relieved and resumed repairing Yuji's body.
Meanwhile, in the outside world, the rampaging Cursed Spirits charged straight toward Shibuya.
They were eager to slaughter humans to their hearts' content and vent the desires they had suppressed for so long.
Fortunately, most of the people in Shibuya had already been evacuated in advance.
Even the barrier covering Shibuya had been completely dispelled.
The humans who had once been trapped inside had long since left.
The current Shibuya was occupied only by Jujutsu Sorcerers.
Even so, when they saw the approaching horde of Cursed Spirits, many of them could not help feeling a chill in their hearts.
"A Night Parade of a Hundred Demons?"
Panda stared at the incoming wave and spoke in a muffled voice.
"This one's way bigger than the last."
"So what exactly is going on now?"
Standing beside him, Kusakabe's mouth twitched as he looked at the spectacular scene ahead.
I really want to go home.
Among the group, Maki Zen'in stepped forward and gave a direct suggestion.
"Shibuya is empty now. This number of Cursed Spirits isn't something a handful of us can handle."
Her gaze swept across the others.
"We should leave first."
Then she looked toward the center of the chaos.
"Let Gojo Satoru deal with it."
