Jujutsu Kaisen: I Made Sukuna Owe 100 Million Yen

The climax and conclusion of this storyline are here. From ruthlessly crushing the Leaky Coral to engaging in a top-level psychological battle with the King of Curses, Lynn's true colors as a "cunning businessman" and "mastermind" will be fully revealed.

In refining and expanding the text, I will emphasize Lynn's composure in "taking everything into account," as well as Sukuna's psychological contrast from arrogance to forced compromise.

The following is the revised and expanded text:

Within the field.

There is no lava, no hell.

There was only endless pure darkness here, and a huge scale and hammer, radiating majestic golden light, suspended high above.

Louhu stood in a pitch-black void, completely unable to move.

It was horrified to discover that its immense magical power, which it was so proud of, was like a stagnant pool here, completely suppressed by a higher-dimensional rule.

"here it is……"

The water clock struggled to raise its head and look up.

Lynn sat on the Judgment Throne, which was formed by dense shadows, and the golden discipline staff in his hand emitted a cold, chilling light.

"Welcome to my courtroom, water clock."

Lynn looked down at it, his tone as flat as if he were reading an insignificant document.

[Guaranteed Hit Effect: Forcefully Imbues the Soul with a Weakness]

Lynn raised his hand and snapped his fingers lightly.

Snapped.

The crisp sound echoed in the absolutely silent space.

A strange light suddenly shone from the chest of the water clock. It was a black line running across its chest, and on that line was an extremely dazzling red dot.

The position is exactly 7:3.

This is not just a physical weakness.

This is a fatal weakness that bypasses the body's defenses and is forcibly branded onto the "soul core" of the water clock!

"Forced...to impose?"

Louhu trembled as he looked at the mark of death on his chest.

But in that instant, it suddenly felt relieved.

It sensed the power of the rules that it could not resist with any magical power. In this realm called the Court, it had no right to resist; it was merely a lamb to the slaughter.

"It's about time to wrap this up."

Lynn rose from the throne.

He took a step forward, as if shrinking the distance to an inch, and instantly appeared in front of the water clock.

He raised the golden staff of discipline in his hand.

There was no flashy burst of magical power, nor any earth-shattering noise. It was just a simple, unadorned, and understated thrust.

"Ten-stroke incantation".

Ding.

The tip of the cane landed precisely and without hindrance on the glowing red dot on the chest of the water clock.

Time seemed to stand still for a moment.

Followed by.

Crack... Boom!

From the point of impact, the water clock's body, like a sand sculpture weathered for millennia, instantly disintegrated in the breeze.

Not only was its physical body reduced to ashes, but its soul core, which was a top-tier cursed spirit, was also completely shattered by this attack, leaving no possibility of reconstruction.

"Hua Yu... Tuo Gen..."

In the last moment before his consciousness completely faded, the two familiar figures seemed to appear before the water clock's eyes.

[Special Grade Cursed Spirit - Water Clock, for purification.]

……

The domain has been removed.

The darkness receded like a tide, and the real world returned.

On the ruins of Shibuya's central district, only Lynn and Maki remained.

And on the ground, there was a pile of dark red volcanic ash that was slowly drifting away in the night wind.

With a blank expression, Lynn pulled a semi-transparent [Mixed Yuan Ball] from inside his suit lining.

He aimed the ball at the ashes on the ground.

An invisible suction force came, and the extremely pure fire-attribute spell essence that remained after the water clock died was completely absorbed into the ball, turning into a flowing dark red.

"Recycling complete. This is top-quality material."

Lynn put away the Chaos Ball with satisfaction and turned to look to the side.

At this moment, under the continuous illumination of the "Round Deer" reversal technique outside the domain, Maki's originally severe burns had almost healed, and her strength had been largely restored.

"You go and meet up with the others first."

Lynn casually tossed a miniature mechanical pellet, which landed precisely in Maki's palm.

"The most troublesome guy is coming tonight. The fight here is beyond your control. He'll show you the way."

Maki gripped the mechanical pill tightly and gave Lynn a deep look. She knew Lynn was telling the truth; she couldn't even withstand the aftershocks of a collision of that magnitude.

Be careful.

Without a word, Maki picked up Yuuki and disappeared into the night in a few leaps.

Less than ten seconds after Maki left.

Boom!!

A figure covered in blood and exuding overwhelming ferocity crashed heavily onto the ruins a dozen meters in front of Lynn like a meteorite.

The wind howled.

The two-faced Su Nuo has arrived.

He was shirtless, and the black tattoo on his chest seemed to come alive as it writhed. Although he had many wounds on his body inflicted by the demon-slaying sword, they were all rapidly healing under the effect of the reversal spell.

His bloodshot eyes were fixed on Lynn, as if he were looking at a magnificent feast.

"Not bad, you're still alive and standing here."

Sukuna stretched his neck, revealing his signature cruel, maniacal laugh:

"I was bothered by two flies a bit, which delayed me a little. But that's fine, I'll take your body today!"

Su Nuo looked at Lin En, making no attempt to hide the mockery in his tone:

"You don't actually think you can defeat me with those two so-called 'strongest shikigami,' do you?"

"defeat?"

Contrary to Su Nuo's expectations, Lynn did not show fear; instead, he chuckled softly. He dusted himself off and said calmly:

"Don't misunderstand, King of Curses."

"Summoning them was never to defeat you, but simply to keep you occupied."

Su Nuo's laughter stopped abruptly, and his eyes instantly turned cold.

"That calm demeanor is disgusting."

Swish!

Su Nuo lost his patience and vanished instantly.

In the next microsecond, he was already in front of Lynn, his hand, powerful enough to tear a building apart with his bare hands, slashing fiercely at Lynn's neck with a deadly [Solution]!

however.

Om-! !

[System Notification: A fatal attack has been detected. The absolute protection rule for creditors has been triggered. Current consumption: 1000 points/minute.]

Brush brush!

In an instant, eight chains of rules bound Su Nuo's hands and feet, and even the power of the incantation stopped operating.

"Um?"

Su Nuo paused for a moment, then narrowed his eyes.

"That's interesting. You can control me with that kind of power even though we didn't make a deal."

Su Nuo sneered and stared directly at Lin En:

"However, such power must consume a terrifying amount of energy, right? How long can you hold me back?"

Lynn did not answer.

He ignored Su Nuo's murderous gaze and instead pulled out a syringe that emitted a ghostly blue light.

[Soul Calming Agent]

Under Su Nuo's astonished gaze, Lynn, with a bizarre technique that even Su Nuo couldn't react to, directly injected the needle into the body's neck.

"What are you doing?!" Su Nuo roared in anger.

"take it easy."

Lynn pulled out the empty syringe and tossed it aside casually: "This medicine won't work on you. I just made the original owner of this body—Itadori Yuujin—temporarily lose his sense of the outside world, so he can sleep a little longer."

"After all, the following conversation is not suitable for children to hear."

Su Nuo looked at Lin En as if he were a madman: "What exactly do you want to do?"

"Let's make a deal."

Lynn straightened his tie, adopting the posture of a businessman negotiating.

"I will help you rebuild a perfect body, one that is entirely your own, in your prime. And I will allow you to be perfectly resurrected in that new body, completely freeing you from this cage."

"As a price..."

Lynn raised a finger, her smile like that of a devil:

"You, Ryoumen Sukuna, owe me 1 million Chinese yuan."

After hearing this, Su Nuo paused for two seconds, then burst into a deafening burst of maniacal laughter.

"Hahaha!! A deal?!"

"Who do you think you are, to presume to make a deal with me?"

Su Nuo abruptly stopped laughing, his eyes turning icy cold: "I am the King of Curses! What I want, I will only take myself! I will never accept any form of trade or charity!"

Lynn was not angry at Su Nuo's firm rejection.

He knew this ancient monster who had lived for a thousand years all too well.

Arrogant, conceited, willful, and absolutely self-centered.

"I knew you'd say that."

Lynn's smile gradually faded, replaced by an icy chill even colder than Su Nuo's.

He pushed up his glasses, and a chilling glint flashed behind the lenses.

"If you refuse, then we'll just stand here and wait."

"I have enough resources to hold out until Yuji Itari wakes up from the effects of the drug. At that point, you will be suppressed again and will never have the chance to go out and enjoy yourself again."

Lynn approached Su Nuo step by step, his voice like a cold wind blowing from the depths of hell:

"Not only that."

"I will use the tools at my disposal to transform Yuujin Itadori into a perfect being who is half human and half cursed spirit, and grant him eternal life."

"And you, Sukuna on both sides."

Lynn pointed to his heart, her words piercing his very soul:

"You will be trapped in this cage forever. You will not die, but you will never be able to truly experience this world."

"You can only be like an insignificant spectator, forced to experience Hisahito Itadori's nauseating morality through that hazy membrane, watching him save the weak, watching him be a good person, and living out that long and incredibly disgusting eternal life."

"You can't even commit suicide."

"Your so-called freedom, your so-called self-importance, will all become an endless joke."

Dead silence.

A deathly silence fell over the ruins.

Su Nuo stared intently at Lin En.

He did not fly into a rage, nor did he roar.

Because he could see it in Lynn's eyes—this man not only said it, but he really did it!

As the king of curses, he is neither afraid of death nor pain.

But what he couldn't bear was losing the power to "dominate" and becoming a pathetic spectator, experiencing the kind of "good person" life he loathed most.

That was a torment more terrifying than the eighteen levels of hell!

Cold sweat trickled down Su Nuo's forehead.

Lynn looked at Su Nuo, whose face was ashen, and once again revealed that harmless, cunning merchant's smile:

"Then, Your Majesty, King of Curses."

"Are you going to sign this 1 million loan deal or not?"

"You won't lose a single penny on this deal."

Ryomen Sukuna gritted his teeth, his fists clenched so tightly they cracked.

For the first time, a hint of "submission" flashed in those arrogant eyes.

a long time.

He seemed to have used all his strength to squeeze out three words through clenched teeth:

"...I agree."
