Having traversed countless realms, can you possibly be as clever as me?

If it's the former, then the strength of the imaginary spirit she creates is limited by her own fear threshold—the more afraid she is, the stronger the imaginary spirit becomes. This creates a painful positive feedback loop, where she must constantly confront deeper fears to gain greater power.

If it's the latter, then given enough conviction, she might even be able to create something close to a top-tier being. However, this would fall into the same trap as constructing a formula: being too omnipotent is also too incompetent.

Both are worth studying.

He continued watching.

Seven cyborgs had already surrounded her. They weren't fast—the real humans were interested in inflicting pain, not killing efficiently—but approaching from all directions simultaneously was enough to drive a high school girl who had just awakened her magic and had no combat experience into utter despair.

Trapped in a desperate situation, surrounded by seven monsters resembling those in a B-movie horror film, driven by intense fear, she instinctively began casting spells amidst screams.

coming.

Her magical power surged from her brain, condensing three meters in front of her. As it condensed, he saw more details of the spell.

Which one is it? The answer is, both!

She created a doll dressed in a sailor suit, about the size of a palm, holding a toy trident. Then came a second one, a not-too-long white snake, wrapped in chains covered with the words "Don't look at me."

These imaginary cursed spirits are not even at level three; they are at most slightly stronger than a fly. Their cursed power is as soft as cotton candy, extremely unstable in structure, and their duration is visibly short.

When the first doll was shattered by the cyborg's slap, he could even feel the girl's magical circuits groaning in agony; the backlash from the spell had already begun to harm her body.

She forcefully activated a second wave. Then came a third. Each imaginary spirit was weaker than the last, because her magical power was rapidly depleting.

He got it.

Like construction spells, this technique has a very high ceiling and an astonishingly low floor. Its strength depends entirely on two variables of the caster: the total amount of magical power and mental strength. And for her, both of these variables are almost zero.

Her body had never been trained in any way, and her natural total amount of curse power was only average. But what was more deadly was that her mind had developed a stubborn escape mechanism through long-term self-deception and ignoring of the curse. Whenever faced with fear, her first reaction was always to close her eyes instead of confronting it. This mechanism protected her, but it also became her greatest shackle.

Her spells are driven by belief. And what she excels at most is disbelieving what she sees. When she's caught in this internal conflict, she's completely unable to unleash the power of her spells.

"A useless technique."

He gave his final assessment. His voice wasn't loud, but it was very clear in the deathly silent space.

The girl heard him. She looked up abruptly, her eyes blurred with tears, towards his direction. A faint glimmer of hope flickered in her eyes—someone was coming, someone was speaking, perhaps—

She saw the loach clearly, and the other woman simply waved casually at her.

“Your technique is interesting,” he said to her, his tone like a naturalist commenting on a butterfly specimen, “but on this battlefield, interesting is far from enough. It’s a pity; if I had met you sooner, perhaps… hah.”

He turned and left, preparing to deal with Gojo Satoru.

The cyborgs had surrounded her within five meters. The closest one raised a massive limb formed from multiple twisted human arms, its bony spikes pointed at her head. She would attempt a stronger summoning at the last moment, but given her current magical power reserves and mental state, she could only manage one more decent manifestation. The strength of that imaginary spirit couldn't possibly exceed level three.

Level 3, tonight in Shibuya, there's nothing I can do.

The text appears to be a jumbled collection of characters and symbols, possibly from a corrupted or garbled document. A direct translation isn't meaningful as it lacks coherent meaning.

He had more important things to do. Gojo Satoru had already been sealed away, the real person needed to be retrieved, and the preparations for the Death Journey still needed the final step. A little girl with interesting techniques but absolutely no potential for development wasn't worth him staying even a minute longer.

He pulled his phone out of his pocket and sent a message to the real person: 'The number of modified humans in Area B2 is insufficient. Create another batch and get them on the tram.'

After the transmission was completed, a cracking sound came from behind—it was probably the girl's last imaginary spirit that had been shattered.

Then came a scream.

Then—the aluminum privately moved the health product.

It wasn't because of that scream. Screams are the least unusual thing in Shibuya tonight, but after that scream, the air suddenly went quiet.

The air stopped flowing, the light stopped refracting, and the magical power within his body momentarily ceased its circulation. Then, a surge of energy, like a swirling veil, suddenly appeared.

He whirled around, and at the tunnel entrance, darkness was pouring out from within. Right before the girl, a terrifying, indescribable mass of darkness was constantly taking shape!

855>>>>

In the heart of that darkness, a human figure finally took shape, and the moment he emerged, [the text abruptly ends here].

Is it... a cursed spirit? It should be, absolutely, but... [The rest of the text appears to be gibberish and unrelated to the previous sentences.]

With eyes as red as charcoal, long black hair, and a trench coat, he looked like a male model walking the streets of Shibuya.

"Jianzi? What are you doing here?"

The young man looked down at the unconscious girl, frowning slightly, and said, "I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry."

“Interesting…” He chuckled softly, his expression turning languid and unsteady.

For a cursed spirit to develop self-awareness, it needs to be at least at the near-first-level, like the locust cursed spirit on the third underground level. As for a hypothetical cursed spirit developing self-awareness, that's an ability only a top-level spirit possesses!

While strictly speaking, all cursed spirits born from human fears can be considered products within the category of 'hypothetical,' hypothetical cursed spirits are a more ethereal source, born from human fears of myths, stories, and even urban legends.

Such imaginary spirits are often not as powerful as real spirits, such as Tamamo-no-Mae and Kuchisake-onna that Natsume once possessed. However, there are exceptions. Orochi in the Heian period can be considered to be at the pinnacle of imaginary spirits, and it even has the same adaptive characteristics as Makura.

What kind of binding did this girl named Yotsuya Miko undergo to summon such a virtual cursed spirit? What story or urban legend does she come from?

If a warlock is unable to control their cursed spirit, or even if they have summoned one that has not been bound by any contract, capture it immediately during the period of its birth!

The skull, pure charcoal, was taken aback. The nether regions, purple and black, were filled with a strange, tangible energy. The nether regions, covered in tangible energy ...

Beneath the collapsed, cracked ground of the station, the ancient Chinese text "Tao Huang Zhi Chi Bi Ji Gan Tou Ou Cu" appears, followed by a series of seemingly unrelated characters and symbols. A direct translation isn't meaningful as it's unclear what these characters represent.

Throughout the entire process, the young man's imagined spirit did not react in the slightest; without its controller, he seemed to be in a completely blank state.

We succeeded!!!

When he became a hemorrhoid sufferer, he was terrified and his body was covered in soot.

The young man abruptly turned his head, his scarlet, fiery red eyes radiating a chilling aura.

The brain, which had been subjected to a series of chaotic and violent attacks, was now in a state of flux and chaos.

This is a fictional cursed spirit from Christian mythology; it is a demon recorded in many texts.

In the Book of Baruch, he is a king who rose from the ashes and destroyed the entire Roman Empire, a fear-devouring being.

In the Kabbalah, he is the Crimson King who burns the Tree of Knowledge, the Fool on the throne.

In Milton's Paradise Lost, he is the Lord of Hell who vies for power with Lucifer after his fall from grace.

His name is recorded in the Code of Gigas, which later became known as the Devil's Bible. Among the 139 demons recorded in it, he ranks seventh and is the Crownless Monarch.

He has many names, but the one most commonly known, and the one that appears in the stories of Bosses and monsters, is—

Dongal-oth, the Crimson King

575. [Jujutsu Kaisen] Tsugumi logging into her alt account

Tsurugi is a person who can't sit still.

He himself is currently busy rebuilding Heaven, but out of boredom, he chose to descend upon one of his informational counterparts.

After Tsurugi successfully and completely wore the seven crowns, even though he did not grasp the power of sloth and arrogance and develop a demonic form, in terms of status, he had already achieved a position equal to that of the demon gods of hell and the demon kings.

His character card underwent a dramatic change as a result—

Character Card: Demon

Inscribed Class: Crimson King

技能状态：【我即地狱（LVMaX）】，【地狱法则精通（LvMax）】，【欲望权能（LV3）】,【毁灭权能(Lv4)】【嫉妒权能(LV3)】【贪婪权能（Lv2）】【就被管家活活打断了双腿(LV MAX)】【深红之王（Lv3）】【省略通用技能】

King of Crimson

'Your unique existence is etched into the depths of hell, the source of myth! The heavens will echo countless times with your name and tales—the Crimson King, the Crimson Demon, the Antichrist, the Lord of Malice, the Antithesis of Justice, the Messenger of Destruction…'

【I am hell: (LvMAX)】

'You have become the uncrowned king of Hell, able to don a new crown at any time. Your existence is eternal in Hell; death cannot harm you, and even the radiance of Heaven cannot purify you. Your power has ascended to the pinnacle of Hell, making you one of the leaders of the Hydra's royal court.'

Mastery of Hell's Laws (LvMax)

'You have fully unlocked your Hellish authority; you no longer need to use grimoires to cast spells. All magic governed by the laws of Hell is at your disposal.'

[Rage Power (Lv4)] 'No changes, omitted'

[Jealousy Ability (Lv3)] 'No changes, omitted'

[Power of Desire (Lv3)] 'No changes, omitted'

[Greed Power (Lv2)] 'No changes, omitted'

[Sloth Authority (Lv1)]

'The power wielded by the demonic nobles born in the Valley of Fire—you are the embodiment of sloth in the human world; everything is clear, everything is illusory, everything is meaningless, everything is indifferent.'

[The Power of Gluttony (Lv1)]

'Born of the demonic nobles of Iron City Dis, you are the embodiment of gluttony in the human world. Devour everything, take them away, swallow them whole, even if you don't need them!'

[Arrogance Power (Lv0)]

'You have not yet grasped the true meaning of arrogance.'

Tsugumi has completely unified all powers and acquired all seven deadly sins. Just like the panel, Tsugumi has become the 'Demon King' of Hell and can compete for and seize one of the seven deadly sins' crowns to wear, or go to find her corresponding original sin.

His power as the 'Crimson King' has reached the pinnacle of Hell, equal to that of the Seven Demon Kings. Most importantly, as the Crimson King, he has projected his information into all the heavens and worlds, leaving his mark in countless myths about Christ in various worlds.

As a projection after he attained enlightenment, some parallel worlds that were born after him will gradually have entities with the same name based on him, and he will be able to sense some of them that are closely related to him.

Not every entity with the same name is his counterpart. Even those that he can sense, as long as he doesn't truly interfere or 'log in', those worlds are merely products of his own projection existing in all the heavens and myriad worlds being copied and imprinted by others, just like a painting.

Similarly, as long as any one of these identical entities exists, he is already absolutely 'immortal'.

One certificate grants eternal proof, enabling one to manifest in countless forms and be omnipresent. In the context of Eastern cultivation practices, this would be—
