Harajuku, Tokyo, a high-end dessert shop.

Gojo Satoru sprawled undignifiedly on the sofa, surrounded by a mountain of limited-edition parfaits and edamame whipped cream in front of him.

So, that's why~

Gojo Satoru, biting his spoon, mumbled indistinctly:

"That mechanical kid really came back alive? From the clutches of a Special Grade?"

"Yes, thank goodness he ran fast. I heard people in Kyoto are crying their eyes out."

Lynn sat opposite him, with only a cup of black coffee in front of her.

He pushed up his glasses, took out a small box wrapped in black velvet from his pocket, and gently pushed it across the table to Gojo Satoru.

"Mr. Gojo, I'm more interested in the upcoming Halloween than that."

"What's this?" Gojo Satoru raised an eyebrow and reached out to pick up the box.

"An interesting gadget I found on the black market."

Lynn smiled and said, "You can open it and take a look."

Gojo Satoru opened the box.

Inside lay a small cube, covered with eerie eyes.

It looked like a Rubik's Cube, emanating an unsettling wave of magical energy.

Gojo Satoru's expression changed instantly.

Even with the blindfold on, Lynn could feel that sharp gaze.

"This thing..."

Gojo Satoru picked up the cube, his tone becoming playful, "Although the structure is very precise, it doesn't have much of a function, it's like an empty shell..."

Lynn interlaced his fingers and slowly said:

"Of course, this is actually a fake. If it were the real thing, it might be able to seal you away."

"Ha! You've sealed me away?"

Gojo Satoru seemed to have heard a joke, casually tossing the cube aside. "Nothing in this world can seal me away yet."

"Of course, you are invincible."

Lynn went along with him, but then changed the subject:

"However, as a businessman, I am used to having a backup plan."

"Although this replica cannot seal people, it has a special function—'phase resonance'."

"If you carry it with you... in case, and I mean in case, you actually end up locked inside the real thing due to some accident..."

Lynn pointed to the square.

"This thing will become the only 'locating beacon'."

"Mr. Gojo, I've confirmed that this thing truly exists. Have you ever thought about what would happen to this world if one day you, the strongest of them all, were sealed away?"

"This thing is just insurance. I don't think any of us want to see it come into play."

"But if you refuse to use it when it's truly needed, then there's no going back."

Gojo Satoru looked at the cube in his hand. Six-Eyed told him that this thing was indeed not offensive at all; it was just a simple, intricately structured cursed tool.

"Alright."

Gojo Satoru casually stuffed the cube into his uniform pocket and grinned.

"Since you're so worried about me, I'll reluctantly accept this 'gift'."

"Thank you, one hundred million yen."

"?"

Despite grumbling, Gojo Satoru still pulled out his black card.

Seeing the transaction completed, Lynn's smile deepened.

Most of the chips have been collected.

There will only be one winner in this Shibuya incident.

……

Late that night, at the training ground on the back mountain of the High School of Spellcasting.

After seeing Gojo Satoru off, Lynn came to this open space alone.

"Less than a week until Shibuya."

Lynn took off his suit jacket, unbuttoned his cuffs, and revealed his muscular forearms.

"Physical enhancement complete, domain complete, arsenal fully stocked."

"Now, only the last two pieces of the puzzle are left."

He looked at his shadow at his feet.

[Ten Shadow Spells] There are ten types of shikigami in total.

Besides the [Eight-Handed Sword - Divine General of the Other Ring - Demon Void], Lynn has now subdued eight other types.

There is one last type left, which is also the ninth-ranked shikigami.

"Come out."

Lynn formed hand seals, and the magical power within his body surged into the shadow like a tide.

"[Tiger Burial]."

roar--!!!

With a low, mournful roar, a huge tiger covered in black stripes slowly emerged from the shadows.

Unlike the ferocity of the Jade Dog, this tiger's eyes burned with ghostly blue flames, and its body was surrounded by a force field that made people feel "heavy" and "slow".

Ninth Shikigami: Tiger Burial.

This is a shikigami that was not shown in the original work.

Lynn only realized its ability was force field interference after he initiated the subjugation ritual.

"Come on, big guy."

Lynn gripped the Golden Law in his hand, without using any other shikigami for help, or even activating his domain.

He wanted to use pure physical strength to subdue this beast.

"roar!!"

Tiger Burial pounced, instantly doubling the surrounding gravity, attempting to crush Lynn.

But Lynn simply shook his neck, and with lightning speed, he vanished from the spot.

boom! !

A simple, powerful punch landed squarely on the tiger's forehead.

With superhuman strength comparable to that of six fingers, he slammed the enormous creature into the ground.

……

Ten minutes later.

The battle is over.

Tiger Burial obediently lay down at Lynn's feet, turning into a black shadow and merging into his shadow.

At this point, apart from that ultimate trump card, Lynn had completely mastered all the power of the ten shadow spells.

Lynn stood in the moonlight, examining his current combat strength.

There are two spells: the Ten-Stroke Spell and the Ten Shadow Spells.

The nine shikigami that have already been subdued are—

Jade Dog, with its keen sense of smell and highly mobile biting ability. Currently a primary damage dealer in conventional battles, its claws can inflict damage on Special-grade enemies.

The toad, whose tongue is used to bind and rescue teammates. It is often used in combination with the nue.

The giant serpent launches a surprise attack, coiling itself into a gigantic form. Though fragile, it possesses immense explosive power.

Nue, meaning flight and lightning. A core element of aerial combat.

Full-scale water cannon, Mount Tai pressing down. Used for clearing the area or simply for weight suppression.

Escape Rabbit: Creates numerous clones to confuse the enemy's vision, used for escape or deception tactics.

Round Deer possesses the Reversal Spell (area healing). This is Lynn's strongest support ability, allowing him to save himself the mana cost of using the Reversal Spell.

It pierces through the bull, charging in a straight line. The greater the distance, the greater the power.

Tiger Burial: Manipulates gravity/balance within a certain range; claws inflict a mental tearing effect. Melee crowd control.

"very good."

Lynn nodded in satisfaction.

In melee combat, there are six-fingered flesh and tiger burial, and piercing bull.

The ranged units include Nue, Orochi, and Maneki.

The auxiliary animals are round deer and rabbit.

There are also incantations such as the Golden Law and Infinite Susanoo.

The skills mastered include Reversal Technique, Domain Extension, and Simple Domain.

And the ultimate realm—[Ten Realms of Judgment].

Everything is ready.

Lynn looked at the bustling Tokyo night view.

"One more week..."

"November 31th."

Before anyone knew it, Lynn had been in this world for three months.

From an ordinary person with nothing to the power they have today.

Lynn let out a soft sigh and murmured.

"We can't stop, there are only two more fingers to go..."
