I am the Executioner Dragon, but a cute mod.
Chapter 76: Post-Event Settlement
The battle ended when Sukuna used the Kusanagi Sword to kill the Five Void Generals who had been fighting him head-on. The weaker sorcerers, seeing the Five Void Generals dead, realized that victory was hopeless and hurriedly fled.
Even the Sun and Moon Star Team, led by Uruko, had to change their mission objective from "killing Sukuna" to preserving their remaining strength.
Before leaving, Uruga Himiko glanced at Sukuna from afar in the sky. Her gaze was complex, a mixture of resentment, confusion, and anger, making Uruga Himiko realize that they had missed their only chance to kill Sukuna.
The next time they meet, Su Nu will no longer be in a state of weakened fighting due to the depletion of most of his magical power, the melting period of his spells, and concerns for the safety of the hostages. Instead, he will be in his peak condition with perfect magical power, a spell capable of cutting through everything, and wielding the top-grade magical artifact, the Ame-no-Murakumo sword.
From any perspective, they suffered a crushing defeat, along with their families...
After the battle, Su Nuo finally had a chance to catch his breath. He sat cross-legged on the ground, greedily enjoying the air after the victory.
"I never imagined that fighting humans would be more tiring than fighting monsters. It's absurd..."
Su Nu sighed, then her gaze fell on Tie Ping and Wan Er, who looked worried. Before they could speak, Su Nu had already guessed what they wanted to say: "Are you alright?" or "Are you okay?"
To avoid these troublesome exchanges, Sukuna spoke first:
"I'm fine, just a little tired. I'll be fine after a rest."
Upon hearing this, Tie Ping breathed a sigh of relief.
Wan, on the other hand, looked like she was about to cry.
She approached Su Nuo, clutching his robes that had been torn during the beating, her voice trembling slightly:
"I'm sorry. If I were strong enough, I could have stopped Father from getting involved. I'm sorry... Please don't kill Father, okay? I beg you."
Feeling the last bit of fabric being pulled, Su Nuo was completely distraught. Although Wan had indeed helped him through this crisis, wasn't this crisis caused by Wan's father?
If this force had simply been tasked with suppressing Su Nuo, that would have been one thing, but this punitive force was far too despicable, arbitrarily arresting people and even using children as shields—it was utterly inhumane.
In addition, there are the Kanbara family and the Abe family. Because he had visited them before, Sukuna recognized the crests of these two families. A large part of the sorcerers who had just defeated him came from these two families.
All three families must pay a price, whether for Sukuna himself or for the path he has chosen, he must do something.
When there is an imbalance of power, displaying strength is the best means of self-defense. Therefore, Sukuna remained silent when faced with Wan's request.
This sent a very bad signal. Wan stared at Su Nuo in disbelief, never expecting that he would actually disregard his own safety and attack his own father.
She suddenly grabbed Su Nuo's arm, shaking it as she pleaded:
"No, no, Father was just misled by other families. This wasn't his intention; he was forced into it!"
Hearing this, Sukuna couldn't help but recall the scene when he first met the head of the Fujiwara family. He withdrew his hand and gave a dry laugh:
"I know your father's true colors better than you do. The main sorcerers in my army who are going to kill me all have the Fujiwara clan crest on their clothes. I will kill him."
"No! You can't!"
Wan finally broke down in tears. Her eyes were brimming with tears, and she looked at Su Nuo as if he were a complete stranger.
"Have you forgotten how you negotiated with those guys? No matter how hard you tried, they wouldn't give you a chance. And what about you? How are you any different from them now? Why won't you give my father a chance?"
Upon hearing this, Su Nuo froze on the spot. He hadn't expected Wan to say such a thing, nor had he expected himself to be so heartless. Su Nuo began to ponder these words.
To Tie Ping, who was standing to the side, this was an absurd question. Even though Wan was a genius sorcerer, he didn't hesitate to say:
"These are completely unrelated matters. Lord Sukuna's previous negotiations were to resolve the unnecessary conflict at its root, while your words are merely an attempt to exonerate your father!"
"No, that's not what I meant, I just..."
Wan was already crying in distress. She didn't know how to refute Tieping. She only knew that Su Nuo had saved her and was kind to her, and that her father had raised her and was also kind to her.
Su Nuo cannot die, and his father even more so...
Just as Wan was caught in a dilemma, Sukuna, who was deep in thought, had already found his answer. He said:
"Alright, I promise I won't kill your father."
Upon hearing this, Wan's eyes widened. She stared at Su Nuo, unable to believe that Su Nuo, who had just been so clear about his stance, had actually agreed to let her father go.
She asked:
"Really? You're really willing to forgive my father?"
"certainly."
Su Nuo gave an affirmative answer, but before he could be overjoyed, he immediately continued:
"However, as the main force in this campaign, I will not spare the Fujiwara clan. I will make you pay the price you deserve. Do you have any objections?"
Having successfully saved her father, Wan naturally had no objection to the punishment the Fujiwara family deserved. She nodded vigorously and said with a smile:
"Of course not! As long as Father is alive, that's enough!"
Teppei didn't say anything more, but deep down he felt that Sukuna's kindness at this moment was his biggest flaw as a leader.
Revolutions cannot be without sacrifices; bloodshed is inevitable. It's just that Su Nu hasn't grasped this yet; he naively wants to protect everyone...
After resting for a few days, getting through the spell's inactivation period, and fully restoring his magical power, Sukuna, carrying the Ame-no-Murakumo sword, visited the three major families one by one.
Let's start with the Abe family. As an Onmyoji family, the Abe family is very powerful. It is even rumored that members of the Abe family have the blood of a white fox.
When Sukuna arrived, the Abe family treated him with great hospitality. The head of the family, knowing better, lowered his head and said that he was willing to exchange his life for the continuation of the family.
It can only be said that he is a fox after all. He tried to exchange one person's life for Sukuna's forgiveness. However, Sukuna agreed, but he had one condition: that he hand over all the Abe family sorcerers who had participated in the extermination.
The Abe family readily agreed.
Next is the Kanbara family. As a powerful civil official family a century ago, they were almost the only family that could rival the Fujiwara family. However, their family has declined and is no longer as glorious as it once was.
This once impoverished and powerful family actually contributed significantly to the campaign against Sukuna, so Sukuna didn't mind making the Kanbara family even more destitute.
It was a bloody massacre. Sukuna slaughtered everyone involved in the siege, and the Kanbara family was forced to disband, splitting into clans such as Gojo, Otsuko, and Takatsuji.
Finally, there's the Fujiwara family.
Upon arriving at the Fujiwara residence, Sukuna stood there in a completely different manner than the first time, facing the head of the Fujiwara family, and said:
"I've already dealt with the Five Void Generals of the Fujiwara clan's two main direct forces. Now, I'm going to eliminate the Sun, Moon, and Star Generals. Do you have any objections?"
The head of the Fujiwara family stood before Sukuna, looking as if he had aged ten years in an instant. His eyes had lost their former sharpness and vigor, and were instead filled with weariness.
He strained to keep himself upright, using almost all his strength:
"No objections..."
