Curse Returns: What did the human-shaped wishing machine do wrong this time?

As Su Nuo was immersed in the deepest memories of his soul, Fukuro Megumi's soul within him gradually awakened.

Yuki Tsukumo has a deep understanding of the soul and knows that after a human is conceived, no matter how powerful the soul becomes, the original soul will only be sunk to the bottom, rather than being erased or merged into one.

When that spatial slash came, due to the illusion, the slash was slightly off-center from the position that Su Nuo subconsciously wanted to release.

Fushiguro Shinobu dodged the attack thanks to the powerful perception of the Heaven and Curse, but Tsukumo Yuki was struck the moment she tried to awaken Fushiguro Megumi's soul.

boom--

Blood splattered everywhere.

Yuki Tsukumo's technique can imbue her attacks and shikigami with infinite imaginary mass, but her own body retains the mass of her original physical form.

When the world-slicing slash landed on her, half of her body was cut into a grid pattern by the invisible strike.

A crisp shattering sound rang out, and the boundary of the black domain crumbled into irregular fragments that peeled off piece by piece.

In the instant the domain split open, Fushiguro Megumi's soul was finally awakened by her parents and Tsukumo Yuki.

At the core of Sukuna's soul, Fushiguro Megumi's soul released a dazzling light, shooting towards Sukuna's soul like a shooting star.

Even when attacked by a soul, Ryomen Sukuna's expression remained unchanged, but a slight crack appeared.

"So this is your purpose?"

"Then taste what you have to face. Love is such a disgusting thing."

As Fushiguro Megumi and Ryomen Sukuna fought over the body, the Shinjuku sky, which was supposed to be daytime, suddenly darkened.

The outline of Ryomen Sukuna's body had become exceptionally black at some point, with only its four scarlet eyes emitting a faint glow in the shadows.

Seeing that he could no longer suppress Fushiguro Megumi's soul, Ryoumen Sukuna prematurely catalyzed the Tengen within his body.

At the same time, all the buildings in Shinjuku trembled, debris flew everywhere, and countless cracks tore the ground and walls apart like hideous wounds.

Several gaps emitting black light appeared in the dim sky like a curtain. The magical power of all the ordinary people who had completed the rehearsal ceremony, who were being carried to the other side by the Lu Suo, all surged into the gradually growing body of Su Nuo in the air.

At that moment, the people of Quanliben seemed to sense something and looked up at the monster in the sky.

At that moment, they felt as if they were being manipulated, sensing something was gradually slipping away from them, and they had the illusion that they were about to dissolve.

*

The instant Su Nuo activated the Tengen, everyone in the monitoring room who witnessed this scene stood up instantly.

Yuta Ekiku, Yuta, Yuuki Tadasu, and Yuujin Itadori could no longer hold back and rushed out together.

Lord Tengen had previously explained that the purpose of Lu Suo was to allow her, after evolving, to assimilate with one hundred million people.

After Rōsō's death, although they saw Sukuna swallow the shrunken Tengen, Sukuna and Rōsō had different personalities. People like Kusakabe still had a little hope that Sukuna wouldn't be a fun-loving person like Rōsō.

But now Sukuna is going to assimilate with all of humanity along with Tengen. If this ritual is completed, the entire country will be destroyed.

Among the ordinary people swarming out like locusts, the sorcerers of the high-level sect no longer cared about a war of attrition, but instead wanted to seize the time to stop Sukuna before he finished evolving.

At that moment, Alluka, Nanika, and Takahashi Fumihiko, dressed in grass skirts, wearing sun hats, and holding ice cream, returned to the monitoring room set up by the unseen.

Unconscious Gojo Satoru and Tsukumo Yuki were transferred here along with Yuuyu and Hoshi Kirara, while Ieiri Shoko quickly treated them.

Shoko Ieiri's Reversal Technique isn't as efficient as Sukuna's, but in order to save Satoru Gojo, she set a constraint on herself, sacrificing her future ability to use it, which greatly enhanced her healing power in a short period of time.

Seeing Alluka return, Hoshiki Kirara rushed over and asked anxiously, "Could...could you please help treat Gojo-sensei? Sukuna is about to be assimilated, and it's really getting too late."

Alluka looked up blankly, and asked somewhat dazedly, "Assimilation?"

Just now, Takahashi Fumihiko thought it was fun to dance the hula on the beach, so he brought the two children to the beach. The three of them had a lot of fun and were unaware of what had happened at the Shinjuku battlefield.

"Arujah..."

Nanika called out softly in a somewhat shrill voice.

The two of them went to the window and saw that the sky had already darkened, and there was a huge, inhuman-looking creature in the air.

The familiar yet unfamiliar feeling made Alluka realize that it was his brother Ryoumen Sukuna, but the strong sense of crisis emanating from that body made him feel somewhat unfamiliar.

In the air, a bright light flashed, and amidst the dazzling whiteness, the Evil Destroyer Ladder from the angel Kurusu-ka slammed down on the body of Ryoumen Sukuna.

The white light illuminated the ruins of the dilapidated city, and also the distorted faces of the two Sukuna.

Perhaps Sukuna, who hasn't fully recovered his strength, might be afraid of the angel's technique, but now that Sukuna is irreversibly assimilated with Tengen, he knocked several small fry in front of him to the ground with just one punch.

The entire Shinjuku was razed to the ground by Sukuna's power, and both Sukuna felt that their current situation couldn't be better.

A continuous stream of magical power surged into his body from all directions, and at this moment Su Nuo felt even more strongly that the strong should enjoy the solitude of being at the top.

Yuji Itadori was torn through space by Rika and thrown in front of Sukuna. Currently, among them, only Yuji Itadori is capable of attacking a person's soul.

"Give Fukuro back to us!"

Even at this moment, Yuuji Itadori still did not give up on saving Megumi Fushiguro's soul.

Yuujin Itadori couldn't even imagine how guilty Megumi Fushiguro would feel knowing she had hurt her comrades, given her personality.

With a casual wave of his hand, Liangmian Su Nuo unleashed a spatial slash that struck the people in front of him. Apart from Tian and Zhou Fu, no one else could escape the overwhelming slashes from the world.

Blood kept flowing from the wounds on Yujin Itadori's body. His strong physique prevented him from dying, but countless cracks were cutting into his body.

Yuujin Itadori coughed up blood and desperately used the Reversal Technique to heal himself.

He told himself to go faster, even faster.

He must stop Sukuna from assimilating 100 million people and rescue Fushiguro Megumi's soul.

The students at the high school were already somewhat helpless against Sukuna. As the power of the curse gradually surged, Sukuna recovered all her strength, even surpassing her original form, and her Spatial Slash reached an epic level of enhancement.

Under his slashes, not only Hisahito Itadori, Hiromi Higurashi, and Yuta Otsuko were all cut down to the ground by the overwhelming slashes, but despite this, they still struggled to get up.

Looking at the few weak but struggling sorcerers in front of him, Ryoumen Sukuna wandered off for a moment.

He didn't know how to describe the feeling.

From the moment he was born, his ghostly appearance terrified the family so much that they dared not face him.

Only in his childhood did Sukuna suffer some mistreatment because of his status as an outsider and a child of misfortune. However, since he awakened his abilities, he has been able to handle everything with ease, and everyone bows their heads when they see him.

Whether it was the rulers of the time or the sorcerers of the Heian period, they all feared his reputation.

He does whatever he wants, killing and eating as he pleases, but now these weak humans, after being defeated by him, struggle again and again to stop him.

That kind of soul that keeps getting back together no matter how many times it's been broken, and that mentality of never giving up on ideals and beliefs, makes him feel very troubled.

Ryomen Sukuna hates ideals, and even more so the little devils in front of him.

While he was lost in thought, Yuujin Itadori remembered the method of healing bloodlines that the sage had taught him. Having healed himself, he left himself no way out and directly sent his soul into Ryomen Sukuna's body.

In the period leading up to the war, Yuujin Itadori, who had been taught by Yuki Tsukumo, had already mastered the ability to exchange souls with others. This ability was also his trump card left behind to save Megumi Fushiguro.

If not handled properly, Yuujin Itadori's soul might be obliterated by Sukuna Ryoumen during the soul exchange, but he can't care about that now.

*

Alluka stared blankly at the scene in the sky, where he could see his former companions rushing towards Sukuna one after another, only to fall one after another.

Strange emotions surged to their peak in his mind.

At that moment, he suddenly recalled every word everyone had said, and the expressions on their faces when they talked about their wishes.

The wishes of Zhangxiang, Xiaohui, Youtai, and Youjin are basically that the people around them can be happy.

But why is everyone's wish now to defeat Sukuna-nii?

"Alluka, did you have a wish? Nanica, what about you?"

At some point, Xia Youjie, who had been fighting against Rime, appeared behind Alluka.

His five robes were tattered and worn, and his handsome face bore some scratches, but he seemed oblivious to them, silently watching the increasingly large Sukuna along with Alluka.

Xia Youjie's wish was for everyone in the world to be free from desires, but this wish contradicted the birth of Nanika.

How could a cursed spirit, born of desire, possibly erase everyone's desires?

Even someone as powerful as Ryoumen Sukuna, didn't he just assimilate with Tengen because he found it interesting?

Xia Youjie didn't know what the world would be like after the two Sukuna were assimilated, but if he wanted to solve the current predicament, Alluka was the best choice. Moreover, he knew that, given Alluka and Nanika's nature, they probably wouldn't want to see their two older brothers killing each other.

"My wish... Can I even have a wish?"

Alluka said it unconsciously.

He, who was always in a state of mutual dependence with Nanika, was unable to make wishes on his own. He could only act as a transfer exchange machine, collecting the price from the previous person again and again.

But he forgot that he and Nanika were currently separated.

"Alluka..."

Nanika's ethereal hands gently touched Alluka's.

As a being dependent on desire, she has no physical form, but Takahashi Fumihiko thought that it would be interesting for Nanika to have a physical form and like to play games and eat snacks, so he fed Nanika a lot of snacks.

Nanika liked the harmless spell. She liked Takaha, but she liked Alluka even more.

The souls of the two older brothers were locked in a fierce battle within the body of that enormous cursed spirit. Alluka might not be able to sense it, but Nanika could see it very clearly.

Like Alluka, she didn't want to see such a scene, and she didn't want the whole world to become what Lasso imagined.

Like Alluka, Nanika was always a pure and kind-hearted child. The wishes made by others reflected their inner desires. Nanika simply enforced her own rules fairly, making those who made wishes pay the price they deserved.

At the same time, Alluka and Nanika felt the same desire.

Whatever Alluka's wish is, Nanika will always be with Alluka, and no one can separate them.

Alluka embraced Nanika's body, placing herself inside her and expressing her wish with happiness.

"I want all magical power to disappear from this world before it is even generated."

Alluka knew that her two older brothers' positions were completely opposite, and she also knew that for her brother Hisahito, the sins that Sukuna carried were unforgivable.

Alluka, caught in the middle, disliked her position.

Perhaps Sukuna would blame him for meddling, but neither Alluka nor Nanika could stand by and watch their brother turn into a monster.

The negative emotions of those 100 million people spread like a virus, transforming into cursed power and entering Sukuna's body.

This strange and terrifying world is completely different from the loving world that Gao Yu led them to see.

Two lines of tears were streaming down Alluka's face. Looking at her brother, who was assimilating with a hundred million people, she belatedly realized that the pain of being abandoned made her heart clench.

He doesn't want to see a world like this.

*

Inside the two Sukuna bodies, Itadori Yuujin is currently facing off against Sukuna.

Fushiguro Megumi's soul was suppressed by Sukuna, whose power had surged. Due to the special nature of the Tengen assimilation, Fushiguro Megumi was currently unable to regain control of her body unless the assimilation ritual ended immediately.

But in that case, Fushiguro Megumi would face the fact that she herself had become a monster.

Ryomen Sukuna gripped Itadori Yuujin's neck tightly with her wrists, lifting him up.

"Ryoumen Sukuna! Stop right there!!"

Yuujin Itadori gritted his teeth, glaring at the pink-haired original form, Ryoumen Sukuna, who bore a striking resemblance to himself.

Lord Tengen was originally irrational. After assimilation, Sukuna, who was infused with the negative emotions of 100 million people, will also lose his rationality. At that time, the entire country will be polluted.

Ryomen Sukuna chuckled softly and slowly tightened his grip.

Yuji Itadori is a cursed fetus created by Rōsō from the remains of his brother. A thousand years ago, Rōsō had conducted such a disgusting experiment. Unexpectedly, a thousand years later, Rōsō still had not given up on that unrealistic fantasy.

He is the King of Curses, how could he possibly be suppressed by such a piece of trash who can't even be born?

But as his hand slowly tightened, he felt the magical power from the outside world gradually decreasing.

With his eyes bloodshot from being consumed by negative emotions, Ryoumen Sukuna immediately found the source of all this—his younger brother, Alluka.

The negative energy in the air vanished in an instant, but that wasn't the end of it.

With a sigh, the world fell into eternal solitude. When the dust settled, a new era began.

When the rules of the entire world were changed, the curse power of 100 million people began to be erased, and the entire Shinjuku battlefield fell into a state of deathly silence.

The rules, altered from the moment of their birth, are traced back from the Shinjuku battlefield. Curses, magical powers, and spells have caused all living beings to forget the memories of their birth.

The Itadori family in Sendai no longer has twins born to their daughter-in-law who was resurrected from the dead.

The Gojo family, one of the three founding families, no longer possesses the rare six-eyed creature.

One hundred and fifty years ago, the extremely evil curse master Kamo Kenrin and the Nine Phases of the Cursed Embryo he created were no more.

The Ryomen Sukuna, which resembled a demon or god, also disappeared during the Heian period.

Negative emotions can no longer produce the curse-like power, and love is no longer a curse-like existence.

The source of all this was Alluka and Nanika leaving this world after they reverted to their interdependent state.

Alluka's wish was for all magical power to disappear before it was even created. Nanika changed the rules of the world for him, so not only in the Shinjuku battlefield, but also when the first wisp of magical power was born, the existence of magical power was erased.

Because of desire, and because of their interdependence with Alluka, Nanika and Alluka disappeared from everyone's memory at the same time.

"Nanica, we'll be together forever, right?"

"Aye."

-over-

……

The ending was predetermined; it's a Madoka-style ending.

Since the curse power was gone in the first place, none of the subsequent events would have occurred.

In the latest chapter, Akutagami pooped a huge poop again, which was really disgusting. I'm too lazy to write about the endless cycle of poops.

I initially wanted to write a time-travel story, but it didn't seem very appealing without special privileges. I thought about giving Tiger a power-up, but his identity was problematic, so this became the setting.

Thank you all for being here! Love you all!
