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

Because her barrier technique extends throughout Japan, she possesses near-omniscience within the country.

Of course, this is limited omniscience; it can be viewed as an exceptionally powerful search engine. Within her domain, she knows everything that happens.

Or to put it more directly—basically all the narration that appears in the entire Jujutsu Kaisen anime can be seen as her talking to herself while watching the show.

Therefore, Tengen knew that something was wrong with Tsurugi, he knew it completely.

Even if each of his forms of existence is what a hypothetical cursed spirit should look like, and his power doesn't even exceed that of a special-grade spirit by much, from the perspective of cursed power, he seems unremarkable.

But the knowledge he possesses, the power he wields, and everything else he has far surpassed what this world has to offer.

Tengen couldn't see what Tsugumi did on the moon, but he saw how Tsugumi launched those Behemoths.

"A top-tier curse spirit master was born from humanity's fear of each other; in other words, he himself is a network that connects the emotions of all humanity."

Tengen didn't wait for Tsugumi's reply, but started talking to himself.

“You can connect to the souls of all mankind through him, but because of my barrier, you can only connect to the Japanese magic network right now. This is a limitation imposed on real people by my barrier.”

“The Behelits you created are essentially a special kind of ‘cursed object’. The person who uses it will undergo ‘substitution’, but the difference is that this substitution involves a body rather than a soul. Of course, there is also a power in it that I cannot understand.”

"And you've come to me now, probably because you think I'm in your way."

"That's a good answer, but I'm curious why you concentrated your magical power in Japan. I can guess, but I'm too lazy to." Tsugumi asked with a smile.

"It's simple, I just don't want to become another kind of being," Tianyuan replied directly.

Her 'immortality' technique is unique; apart from Tianyuan, no other sorcerer has possessed the same immortality technique.

Because this is a bug in the world itself, the spell that Tianyuan, a human sorcerer, possesses allows her to evolve into a being similar to a cursed spirit over a long period of time, which makes her completely undefined in the world's judgment.

“That’s not a cursed spirit, but another kind of existence you’re researching, composed of positive energy,” Tianyuan said softly.

"了魉恢币岳纯释降木褪俏业哪歉毖樱吠绞荒昵耙蛭煊氡┚墓叵担钪照娴拇蝼屏耸澜缦薅ㄓ谖疑砩系囊蚬谑俏抑沼诌拍歉龇较蚵踸恕！"

The figure that looks like a thumb with four eyes is not her true form, but merely an external form maintained by her barrier technique.

The true Tianyuan had long since merged with her barrier technique, his soul omnipresent, and that alone was enough to terrify her.

“You’re afraid, terrified that you’ll lose yourself if you take it any further,” Tsugumi said with a smile.

Everything Tengen does is based on one of the most basic human emotions—the fear of death.

Moreover, what she feared was not ordinary death. In this world, humans can be reincarnated after death. Although such reincarnation is purely random, the soul does indeed have the chance to come back again.

Once Tianyuan takes the final step and evolves into a form composed of positive energy, she may 'merge with the Dao,' becoming one with the world, completely losing herself, and unable to reincarnate.

She gathered all the world's magical power in Japan to deal with this worst-case scenario, just like her current state. Although she has lost her physical body, she can still rely on the barrier to observe her own survival.

What she possesses is less an immortality spell and more a spell of eternal death—eternal life is eternal death!

She and the dice were a perfect match, and she was a beautiful woman. She was a woman who was beautiful and charming, and she ...

"Would you like to sign a contract with me?" Tsugumi asked with a smile, extending her hand to Tengen.

“I will take everything from you—your existence, your positive energy structure. It’s a ready-made framework, and I’m also very interested in the barrier where you gather your magical power. In return, I will preserve your consciousness itself. If you don’t want to be my demon, then be a simple soul.”

Tengen is a difficult character to judge. If you say she's good, she undoubtedly brought all the world's curses to Japan out of absolute selfishness. But while this selfishness harmed the people of this country, it saved countless people in other parts of the world, making her a unique kind of 'savior'.

Ultimately, the underlying logic of this world is terrible. The fact that curse power is the only carrier of extraordinary abilities is itself a huge problem.

Compared to magnetic field power, its destructive power is not as high. Otherwise, given the generally beautiful mental state of sorcerers, it's hard to say which one is more insane.

Tianyuan agreed without hesitation, after all, she really had no bargaining power.

Tsurugi transformed into his greedy, demonic form and made a deal with Tengen.

He took everything from Tianyuan, while Tianyuan gained the 'immortality' she desired.

Since she was unwilling to become a demon, Tsurugi placed her in his soul world, hoping that one day he would need her.

—Whether you'll ever use them or not, collecting them is always a good idea!

As Tengen departed, Tsugumi looked at the vessel before her, shimmering with pure light, and a satisfied smile appeared on her face.

Then--

At the same time, all the sorcerers in Japan suddenly raised their heads.

Those of lower skill level could only feel that the pervasive magical energy around them had decreased, and their bodies felt much lighter.

Those with skill, those who knew the secret, or rather—those high-ranking sorcerers who had concealed themselves using Tianyuan's barrier—revealed expressions of horror.

"Tianyuan, Tianyuan's barrier has dissipated! How is this possible?! What happened?!"

The Tengen Barrier that enveloped all of Japan dissipated.

Admittedly, the barrier of Tengen has caused a large number of cursed spirits to spawn every few days in this wretched place called Japan, but from another perspective, this is also the greatest asset of these high-ranking cursed arts practitioners.

While sorcerers do emerge in other parts of the world, the probability is almost negligible.

Only Japan can consistently produce first-level sorcerers and even occasionally special-level sorcerers. The latter, in particular, is a major factor in Japan's ability to gain a voice on the world stage today!

Of course, this is just the level of someone who borrows the tiger's power.

After all, every single one of the top-level sorcerers is a weirdo with quirks. The higher-ups in the sorcery world can't even command first-level sorcerers, let alone top-level sorcerers.

This is why the higher-ups in the jutsu world, including the Gojo family, so deeply resent Gojo Satoru's relationship.

If Gojo Satoru were willing to listen to them, or even have the same power as them, Japan's international standing would not have remained at this level!

Imagine if Gojo Satoru were willing to obey orders and participate in the war; if he wanted to, he alone would be enough to suppress any major power!

But Gojo Satoru was anything but obedient. His attitude towards high-ranking figures in the jutsu and government was always one of giving them the middle finger as a sign of respect, and giving them both hands down as a sign of humility.

In Japan, high-ranking jujutsu practitioners are essentially equivalent to high-ranking government officials. Their existence is even more secure than that of the shadow government, and it can be said that they are the ruling class of the country.

The prime minister may not necessarily be a sorcerer, but a significant proportion of the officials under the prime minister are related to the three major families.

This is why Gojo Satoru was willing to compromise. Because the high-ranking officials of the cursed arts had control over the government, which was almost equivalent to that of the government, they were able to handle cursed spirit incidents all over the country in a timely manner.

The Demon of the Gun killed at least half of the high-ranking members of the Spellcasting faction, which is why Japan's political system can still function even without them.

After all, there's still a shadow government controlling half of the situation.

But now, the situation has only gotten worse.

First, the Demon of Guns overthrew the government, then the Demon of Blood slaughtered the three main families, and now the barrier of Tengen is still gone!

"We must take action! Revoke the execution order against Gojo Satoru, we have no other choice!"

"Are you kidding me? Aren't you afraid that Gojo Satoru will settle scores with us later?"

"Can you find anyone at Tokyo High School? Can you command other spells? We've lost contact with Kyoto, what else do you want to do!"

"Let's ask those Americans for another nuclear bomb, and if necessary, we can sell them some more sorcerers!"

"What deal? Have you forgotten that guy named Kira? Right now, those foreigners wish they could bomb Japan to the ground!"

Inside a hidden barrier within Tianyuan, the remaining high-ranking officials from the General Headquarters were arguing in a crowded, smoke-filled conference room.

Their expressions were filled with anxiety and unease; the days of hiding behind the scenes in meetings and having the leisure to put on airs were long gone.

"The three major families have been destroyed, the government has been destroyed, and the external environment has lost all patience with us."

An old man in a black kimono said quietly.

"Leaving aside the cursed spirit of the gun and blood, as long as we can't find Kira, Japan could be destroyed by those major powers at any time."

"Then let's go find him! Use all the spellcasters you can to find him by any means necessary!"

The meeting room erupted into yet another round of foolish arguing, and just then—

Bang bang bang!

Suddenly, the sound of the gavel, representing judgment, rang out abruptly, and the high-ranking sorcerers were astonished to find that their surroundings had changed.

They found themselves in a dimly lit courtroom, each of them standing in the dock!

Above the gavel was a man dressed in a black lawyer's suit.

"Silence." Hiromi Hiroshi looked at them with deadpan eyes and said calmly.

"The trial is now in session. I will use the general term 'high-ranking sorcerers' to refer to the following individuals and conduct the trial. Of course, each of you is free to appeal."

"We have unlimited time to interrogate you at our leisure."

These arrogant high-ranking members of the sorcery class immediately jumped up, pointed at Hiromi's nose, and began to berate and curse him.

They just thought he was some kind of sorcerer who had suddenly appeared out of nowhere—yes, these idiots didn't even really understand the concept of a domain.

And all of this came to an abrupt end with Hiromi Nichisha's next sentence.

"My name is Hiromi Nichisha, and I am the judge, jury member, and plaintiff's lawyer in this trial."

"In addition, I also possess the Judgment Demon belonging to the Crimson King—that's all."

590. Judgment of the Demon - Hiroshi Higurashi, Seeing the Demon of Death - Light Yagami

Tokyo Supreme Court entrance

Beneath the statue of the goddess of justice, holding a sword in one hand and scales in the other, Hiromi Higurashi silently gazed at Light Yagami before him.

“Moon…” Ri Chekuan uttered the other person’s name in a low voice.

Why did you choose this path?

"Senior Nichisha, can't you understand me?" Light Yagami asked with a smile.

"No, you understand, senior Nichisha. What did you think when you saw the materials I gave you?"

Hiromi Hirakawa silently exhaled, recalling the command from a higher level that Light Yagami had shown him.

Forcefully execute all prisoners serving life sentences, regardless of whether they have the right or possibility to appeal.

This was an utterly absurd order, and Hiromi Higurashi initially thought Light Yagami was playing a really bad joke on him. But when he produced a death report for Ooe, Hiromi Higurashi felt the world spin around him.

Then, Light Yagami took out a notebook filled with names and said in a very calm tone...

"I am Kira."

Hiromi's pupils dilated in shock. He stared incredulously at the composed Light Yagami, at the 'Death Note' in his hand.
