The person was chanting a curse, but their hands were wielding the black magic.

The strongest in history vs. the strongest in modern times.

A proper serialized novel...

What?

So it was Gojo Ward, not Gojo Satoru!

That's fine.

Fu Hei's face darkened noticeably, his gaze fixed on that familiar yet utterly unfamiliar figure.

I never expected that the Nuo ritual would start at this time.

Moreover, it belongs to the Fifteen-Finger Tiger Skin Constellation!

Of all those present, who wouldn't be passed over by Sukuna at this stage?

The answer is, no one.

"Long time no see, Riso."

Sukuno spoke, his voice completely different from Itajō's.

It tilted its head slightly, moved its neck, making a crisp clicking sound, as if savoring the long-lost control over its body.

He looked down at the people below him with the air of someone in an absolutely superior position.

"I'm sorry, it will take some time for you to recover from your peak condition."

The sound of a clattering rope came from behind Su Nuo.

"So please enjoy these 19 minutes."

Releasing Sukuna was merely a means to buy him time. Holding off Fushiguro Megumi and his group would also allow him to continue searching for the whereabouts of Kiku and Tengen within the Hōsei Palace.

Kill two birds with one stone.

Having said that, Lu Suo's figure, like ink merging into water, slowly retreated into the pure white light deep within the Hongxing Palace.

Disappeared completely.

"...Su Nuo."

Wu Lu gritted her teeth as she squeezed out the name; the psychological trauma left by that crushing defeat made her knuckles turn white from gripping the cloth so tightly.

Even someone as powerful as Lu Ziyun was momentarily stunned upon first witnessing such savage magical power.

The air was thick with a suffocating sense of oppression, which had already completely overwhelmed everyone.

"Kid, the last battle was truly unforgettable..."

Su Nuo's gaze finally landed on Fu Hei, a hint of amusement flashing in his scarlet eyes.

The words were not finished, but the meaning was clear enough.

Fukuro did not respond. His mind was working at top speed, analyzing the situation, deducing tactics, and calculating the odds of winning... until finally, Fukuro made a decision.

"Furube Yura Yura!!!"

The incantation slipped out!

Fu Hei opened instantly.

His hands formed hand seals so fast they almost left afterimages, and the magical power within his body surged forth, causing the shadow beneath his feet to churn and expand wildly.

A pale, demonic figure rose proudly from the shadows!

Eight-Handed Sword, Different Ring Divine General - Demon Void Luo.

It has come again!

Su Nuo's expression visibly froze.

The memory of fighting Makura in Shibuya during the first playthrough is clearly still fresh in Sukuna's mind.

If it weren't for his trump card, "Open," he would probably be the one who fell in Shibuya.

Therefore, we must instantly kill Demon Void Luo!

Sukuna's decisions were lightning fast. Thanks to Itadori Yuujin's physical enhancement, Sukuna's physical skills had reached a new level.

Speed, power, and reaction time have all reached a despair-inducing level.

In the brief moment before anyone could react.

It was just a fleeting moment.

Even Fushiguro was unaware that Sukuna had moved; Sukuna had already appeared and plunged into the center of the five!

He stood before Mo Xu Luo!

His five fingers spread wide and pressed firmly against the abdomen of Mo Xuluo's pale body. Where his fingertips touched, magical power began to condense and take shape.

"eight--"

Su Nuo spoke in a light tone, as if announcing the end of a game.

At the moment when the power of the spell was about to condense into a spell.

It's interrupted!

"Sky!!!"

The black egret leaped out, tearing at the plane around her at the last moment, and space began to twist and separate with her bare hand!

In this distortion that transcends the rules, Su Nuo's palm and Mo Xu Luo's abdomen were also torn apart by the slightest difference!

This slight difference deprived Su Nuo of the condition for contact, so Ba naturally could not be released.

Su Nuo's expression was clearly displeased.

He narrowed his eyes slightly and took a serious look at the woman for the first time.

"Hey, woman, state your name."

"You, you don't even remember me!" Wu Lu roared in fury.

At this moment, the tactics of the Dou Nuo Team had already taken shape in Fu Hei's mind.

That is-

Five-to-one protection strategy!

Even if we have to deliver them one by one, we have to wait until Mo Xu Luo has adapted!

As long as we do our best to protect the Demon Void and hold out until it completes its adaptation, the scales of victory will tip in favor of the Fighting Team!

This is the only tactical approach that can suppress Sukuna in a direct confrontation.

Fu Hei's eyes were sharp and firm. The five members of the Dou Nuo group looked at each other and instantly understood what Fu Hei meant.

"How boring!"

Su Nuo felt genuinely troubled by the woman who could disrupt the spatial structure.

Those dung monsters who interfere with others' attack conditions are the most annoying type, no matter where they are.

Therefore, she must be dealt with first.

Su Nuo set off again, this time directly approaching Wu Lu!

Wu Lu's pupils contracted, intending to use the same trick again, to use the [Sky] to pull the plane apart, create distance, and block his contact.

However, Su Nuo will not give her that chance.

With his knuckles pointing directly at the crow, without even a few extra movements, several violent slashes tore through the air, descending upon the crow with speed and density far exceeding what was before!

To defend against the solution, you must completely distort its attack trajectory, deflecting it in another direction before it hits you.

However, this time it was—

Mesh solution!

The slashing range was so large that its attack route covered every vital point of the Black Heron.

The trajectory of the rapidly approaching slash was reflected in Wu Lu's pupils. She no longer had time to fully analyze the enormous shockwave.

The area below the waist, which cannot be protected with a flat surface, will be hit directly by this slash and cut in half horizontally!

Moreover, the aftershocks could also kill Fukuro and Hikari, whose spell power enhancement techniques were not very strong.

One mesh break could wipe out the entire group instantly!

"I'll do it!"

Shi Liulong shouted loudly.

He shielded everyone behind him!

I'm hungry!

He grunted, but gritted his teeth and refused to back down an inch!

In the case of the heron completing the plane as a defense.

This grid-like attack, which targeted five people, was ultimately withstood by Shi Liulong alone.

Although the solution will not cause penetrating damage to the Stone Flow Dragon's body.

But the impact of one wound is vastly different from that of a hundred wounds.

The mesh created countless points of contact with the slashes, instantly leaving several bloody gashes on Shi Liulong's body. Blood splattered, flesh rolled back, and the wounds were deep enough to expose the bone!

Although it didn't turn into mango chunks.

But the mango was already leaking juice from every angle!

"Stone Flow Dragon!!!"

Fu Hei howled in despair.

After taking this blow, Shi Liulong was unable to rise again.

"This is a pleasant surprise. I was thinking of taking you all out in one fell swoop."

Su Nuo also expressed his approval of Shi Liulong:

"untie!"

Su Nuo starts with zero frames, and the second mesh solution is about to arrive!

However, just as the grid solution was about to slip from his grasp, Su Nuo's pupils widened, and he froze on the spot.

It's the aftermath!

While Stone Dragon absorbed the most slashes, Black Heron also used [Sky] to redirect some of the slashes.

The slash, due to the distortion of the plane, caused the trajectory of the projectile to deviate directly, and the final landing point was...

Demon Void!

The aftershock of the slash swept across the massive, pale body of the Demon Void Demon, leaving a faint white mark.

Shi Liulong burned everything in order to secretly coordinate with Wu Lu and distribute some of the slashes to Mo Xulu.

Shatter Su Nu's dream of preventing Mo Xu Luo from adapting!

Click...

The attack has already taken effect.

The adaptation has already taken effect.

"The rest is up to you."

"Sunshade!"

"For my sake, use judgment on him!!!"

Shi Liulong lay in a pool of blood, using his last strength to entrust everything to his brothers.

As Riche took that final step forward, his eyes gleamed with a light almost that of a martyr:

"Domain Expansion—"

"Execute them and order their death!"

The next moment, the ancient and vibrant scene of the Hōsei Palace quickly faded and disappeared.

Instead, a towering dome, a cold obsidian floor, and a solemn, dignified courtroom descended.

The sun chariot, high above, gazed down at the scarlet figure below with piercing eyes.

He slammed down the gavel.
