Jujutsu Kaisen: I have everything I need now!

Lu Ziyun made a move.

His speed had completely surpassed the limits of physics, even exceeding the acceleration of the Rabbit Talisman. He transformed into a beam of light, a beam of destructive light carrying high-voltage current. December Shuo stood rooted to the spot, feeling an unprecedented sense of crisis locking him in.

The twelve talisman wheels in his sea of ​​consciousness were already emitting a screeching sound due to overload, but he did not retreat.

"The Ultimate Judgment!"

His eyes emitted a holy radiance interwoven with twelve colors. In that fraction of a second, he superimposed the immortality of the [dog], the healing power of the [horse], the brute strength of the [ox], the balance of the [tiger], and even the explosive power of the [dragon] onto his arms.

"Boom!"

The entire second barrier fell silent at that moment.

A massive mushroom cloud, composed of white-purple lightning and dark golden flames, rose from the center of the earth. Buildings within a radius of several kilometers crumbled to dust the instant the aftershocks touched them, as if they were made of fine sand.

Lu Ziyun's short staff slammed into the crossed arms of December 1st. It was a direct collision of lightning and talismanic power; the air was forcibly electrolyzed, and black cracks like spiderwebs appeared in space.

"Hold on...hold on for me!!!" December Shuo gritted his teeth, blood spurting from every pore of his body. He could feel Lu Ziyun's power frantically eroding his flesh, the electric current trying to dismantle him.

At this moment, the Tiger Talisman and the Horse Talisman acted like stabilizing forces. The Tiger Talisman dispersed the raging energy, while the Horse Talisman continuously repaired the physical body.

The two remained locked in a stalemate in mid-air.

Lu Ziyun's eyes were filled with shock. He had never imagined that someone could actually withstand the full force of the "Phantom Beast Amber" attack head-on with their bare body.

"You... caught it?" Lu Ziyun's voice had become a buzzing sound.

"Click."

Just as the collision reached its peak and Lu Ziyun's technique was about to burn out, the roulette wheel that he had been supporting for so long inside December Shuo's body finally couldn't withstand it and completely collapsed after its last flash.

All the strange phenomena vanished instantly.

The new moon of December was like an empty shell stripped of its soul; the divine power that had protected it vanished instantly. The lingering force of the lightning sent it flying, leaving a bloody trail in the air before it plummeted straight down and crashed into the rubble.

Lu Ziyun also suffered a backlash from the immense inertia generated by the technique after losing her target.

He groaned, and his transparent amber body quickly dimmed, reverting to his human form, only now covered in charred cracks. He knelt on one knee, vomiting large amounts of blood.

Between the two, only scorched earth remained, now completely reduced to ruins.

Lu Ziyun stared at the immobile body in the distance, remained silent for a long time, and then a smile of extreme satisfaction appeared on her lips.

"This is...I've never felt so comfortable before."

He slowly stood up, enduring the excruciating pain in his almost broken spine, and gave December the first day of the lunar month a deep look. Since this brat had withstood his strongest attack, then regardless of life or death, this duel was over.

[Swimmer: December 1st. Score: 5.]

......

In the darkness, the feeling of shattering did not stop.

On the first day of December, I felt like a shattered mirror, each fragment reflecting the lingering image of a spell. This pain did not affect my body, but went directly to the deepest part of my soul.

At this moment, he was in a state of "nothingness". The wheel that originally carried the twelve talismans was broken, and the thin thread connecting the talismans to him was snapped, but he did not panic.

Because at the core of that original roulette wheel, a soul fluctuation that he had suppressed for so long, truly belonging to him, was breaking through the soil. Yes, he was a transmigrator, similar to Maki and Mai in a sense. His body was a separate entity, and his soul was also separate. Only by preserving and allowing them to completely merge could he reach a higher level.

"So that's how it is..." December 1st murmured subconsciously. Lu Ziyun's devastating lightning strike just now was like a heavy hammer, shattering his original body, which was then reconstructed by the talisman according to the transmigrator's soul. What shattered was not power, but the shackles of that "outsider".

"Buzz—!"

The scattered glowing lights in the sea of ​​consciousness began to gather spontaneously. They no longer took the form of the twelve zodiac animals, but transformed into a nearly transparent fluid.

The vitality of the horse was ingrained in his bones, the rhythm of the rabbit became his pulse, and the immortality of the dog was etched into his genes.

The twelve powers... are unified.

......

The second barrier, the edge of the ruins.

A chill swept over the area, and raindrops pattered sparsely on the charred cement blocks, making a "drip-drip" sound.

December 1st's fingers trembled slightly as his fingertips touched the cold rain. He felt his senses expanding outward at an alarming rate. He could hear insects gnawing on corpses kilometers away, and the faint electrical charge pulsating in the air.

"Hmm..."

He let out a weak groan and slowly opened his eyes.

The mixed colors that were once in those eyes have disappeared, replaced by an extreme clarity, as if they can see through the entire world.

"December! You're actually... still alive?" A slightly hoarse but joyful voice rang out.

On the first day of December, he turned his head and saw Yuta Ekiku walking quickly towards him. Ekiku's pristine white school uniform was still stained with thick, black blood, and his face was somewhat pale.

"Thanks to you, I'm still alive." December Shuo sat up, supporting himself with his hands. His clothes had long since turned to ashes in the previous lightning strike, and now he could only awkwardly cover himself with a slightly larger piece of gravel.

"What was that light just now...?" Yuta Otsuki leaned closer to Tsukumo, his hand resting on the hilt of his sword. "Its power was comparable to Gojo-sensei's."

"I tried a little bit... something that's not very mature yet." December 1st smiled wryly.

"All the rules have been added." Yuta Otsuki sat beside Twelve New Moon, his expression becoming extremely solemn. "But I received news that those old fogies at the higher-ups, while we were fighting in the barrier, had completely purged the interior. Principal Nightmoth... died in the line of duty."

The movements of the new moon froze.

Although he had considered saving the principal, he couldn't fight against the entire higher echelons of the sorcery on his own. He thought he was numb, but when the news actually came out of Yi Gu's mouth, an indescribable chill still spread throughout his body.

"That wouldn't have worked then, but now..."

On the first day of December, he slowly stood up. The charred scars that covered his body fell off like a cicada shedding its skin, revealing a nearly flawless body.

He looked south, towards the Tokyo Barrier, the epicenter of all the storms in the original story.

"You guys hurry up and get on the task of unsealing Gojo-sensei."

"And what about you?" Yuta's heart skipped a beat as he looked into the unfathomable eyes of December. He sensed that although December's magical energy fluctuations were still weak, the oppressive aura he exuded was almost on par with that of the man.

"I have more important things to do."

On the first day of the twelfth month, he stretched out his hand, and the water vapor in the air mysteriously condensed in his hand into a set of pure black tight-fitting clothes, which was the ultimate application of the monkey talisman.

As soon as he finished speaking, December 1st's figure vanished from the spot in an instant. Without any movement of air, he simply disappeared abruptly.
