Jujutsu Kaisen: I have everything I need now!

Shinjuku, Kabukicho.

The once vibrant and decadent city of desire has now become a desolate ruin.

After the extinction migration and the Shadow Eater's attack, the power system here has long been paralyzed, and even with moonlight, the entire area is shrouded in an eerie darkness. But this darkness is not pure, because of the monster's presence, the "darkness" here is being rapidly stripped away.

"Boom!"

Another building collapsed because it lost its shadow, with steel bars and concrete scattering like building blocks.

On the ruins, a gigantic monster, fifty meters tall, lay sprawled. It was no longer the comical big-headed doll it once was. Now, it was bloated and obese, resembling a giant, upright toad, its enormous mouth taking up two-thirds of its body, and its limbs as thick as Optimus Prime.

The mask on its face grew larger, and its originally comical expression now looked full of greed and malice.

"Well--"

The monster let out a deep, muffled roar, the sound shattering the relatively intact glass within a radius of several kilometers.

Its searchlight-like eyes were fixed intently on a commercial district ahead. There, towering buildings cast large, inviting shadows under the moonlight.

It opened its mouth, creating a huge suction force.

The shadows on the ground, like a black tide, broke free from their objects and flew into its mouth.

"What a good appetite."

A cold, clear voice rang out on the empty street.

The monster paused, its enormous eyes turning as it looked toward the source of the sound.

At the end of the street, which was full of gravel and rubble, a red motorcycle roared in.

Zhenyi leaned on the handlebars, her trench coat billowing in the wind. She wasn't wearing a helmet, her short hair was disheveled, but her eyes shone brighter than the moon.

"squeak--!"

With a graceful drift, the motorcycle came to a stop 500 meters from the monster.

Compared to that colossal fifty-meter-tall creature, Zhenyi was as insignificant as an ant.

"This thing is even more disgusting up close than it is on screen." Zhenyi got out of the car and looked at the monster with black drool with disgust.

"This should be the only one left in the Shadow Eater Clan." December floated beside her, looking up at the huge monster. "Usually there are swarms of shadow legions, but there's only one here, which provides it with uniquely favorable conditions for growth."

"It eats anything that's a shadow?" Zhenyi asked, examining the new gun in her hand. It was a large-caliber cursed pistol that she had taken from the High Specialist's warehouse before leaving. Although it wasn't as easy to handle as a revolver, it was sturdy.

"That's how it works in theory. It grows stronger by devouring shadows, while simultaneously eliminating the very foundation of the physical entity's existence," December New Moon explained. "However, this devouring should also have its limits; it will eventually reach its limit and collapse."

"Overfeed it to death?" Zhenyi raised an eyebrow. "Are you going to keep feeding it?"

"No."

December shook her head and slowly floated to Zhenyi's side.

"Feed it light."

"Let him taste the ultimate light unleashed by the [Dragon] and the [Pig]!"

At this moment, the enormous Shadow-Eating Monster seemed to sense the two "little insects" in front of it. It sensed the subtle yet extremely dangerous aura emanating from December.

"roar!!!"

The monster opened its massive maw, ceasing its feeding on the shadows, and instead spat out a cloud of black mucus. The mucus transformed into countless tiny black leeches in the air, swarming towards Mayi in a devastating attack.

"That's disgusting."

Zhenyi frowned and raised her gun.

"Don't use bullets," December's voice rang out. "I have something to experiment with."

"Then you do it?"

"I'll do it."

Zhenyi stepped aside. If someone could see the new moon, they would find that the new moon's image overlapped with Zhenyi's.

"rise."

On the first day of the twelfth month, he extended his right hand and activated his telekinetic power.

Countless rubble, steel bars, and abandoned cars on the ground seemed to lose gravity at this moment, all of them floating in the air.

"go."

In an instant, the suspended matter shot towards the black leeches in the air like a rain of pear blossoms.

"Puff puff puff—!"

The sounds of physical impacts rang out in rapid succession. Each piece of gravel struck a leech with pinpoint accuracy, blasting them into black smoke mid-air.

"Psychic powers are really useful," May exclaimed.

"Of course, this is..." December 1st smiled, "It's not over yet, everyone's about to get started."

As expected, the Shadow Eater was enraged when its petty tricks failed.

It stood upright and stomped its huge feet on the ground.

"Thump!"

The earth trembled violently, and a huge crack spread from the ground toward Mayi.

At the same time, the monster's enormous mouth opened again. This time, it aimed at the shadow beneath Maya's feet.

A terrifying suction force came from within.

Mayi felt her body sink, as if something was tightly gripping her ankles, trying to drag her into that abyss.

That was her own shadow.

The shadow is being forcibly stripped away.

"Want to eat her shadow?" December 1st sneered, his eyes flashing with a golden-pink light. "I'm afraid your teeth aren't strong enough!"

"The fiery heat of the pig made my eyes pierce."

"The sacred dragon makes me fearless."

"Three-tenths of the output."

He no longer held back; he unleashed the strongest power he could at that moment, and even subtly increased it.

The power of the [Dragon] talisman and the [Pig] talisman were now frantically gathering within December's new body.

The new moon raised its head, raised its hands, and aimed at its gaping maw of abyss.

"This shot is for the houses you destroyed."

"【Dragon Blast】"

There was no deafening explosion.

There was only one ray of light.

A pure, almost solidified white laser beam.

It is only as thick as an arm, but the energy density it contains is enough to make even a top-level sorcerer tremble.

The beam of light instantly pierced the darkness, ignoring the terrifying suction force, and shot straight into the mouth of the Shadow Devouring Monster.

Time seemed to stand still for a second.

The enormous monster froze, and for the first time, fear appeared in its greedy eyes.

Followed by.

"Glug."

It was as if it had swallowed a sun.

A white light began to spread within its body. Its originally jet-black skin now became transparent, and the beam of light could be clearly seen raging wildly within it, instantly evaporating any black shadow energy it passed through.

"Awoooo ...

The monster let out a piercing scream. It frantically scratched its belly, trying to spit out the ball of fire.

But that power is a mixture of the [Dragon] talisman and the [Pig] talisman, how could it be so easily spat out?

"Not enough." December 1st coldly observed this scene. "The power I unleashed is ultimately too little; it is still resisting."

"Then let's add some more ingredients!"

On the first day of December, I looked up at the black hole in the sky but did not react.

He used his telekinesis to move a huge rock and place it in front of Zhenyi.

He clasped his hands together, preparing to increase his output. This was an extremely risky move. If the world realized that this energy was not released by Mai, but by him, the seven dormant demons might instantly arrive and join the battle.

But at this moment, he couldn't worry about December 1st. If he stayed here, he might not even be able to resolve the current crisis. He had to improve his ability to unleash his power.

"Since you like to eat, then you can eat your fill!"

On the first day of the twelfth month, an even more dazzling fireball was gathering between his palms.

This is a highly compressed fireball, like a miniature star.

Go!

He slammed the fireball out.

The fireball traced a graceful arc in the air and struck the monster precisely in its still-screaming mouth.

boom--!

If the previous laser was a minimally invasive surgical scalpel, then this one is a high-explosive grenade.

The Shadow Eater's belly instantly swelled into a sphere, and red cracks covered its entire body.

A violent nuclear explosion is taking place inside its body. The absolute forces of the Dragon and the Pig are locked in a fierce battle within it.

Finally, light triumphed over shadow.

"collapse--!"

A muffled explosion rang out.

There was no bloodshed or flying flesh, nor was there any black mud splashing everywhere.

The fifty-meter-tall behemoth, like a punctured balloon, rapidly deflated, collapsed, and dissipated amidst the endless light.

Its enormous body, accumulated by devouring countless shadows, was completely reduced to nothingness under the purification of the talisman's power.

The streets of Shinjuku have returned to calm.

Although it was still dark, the suffocating sense of oppression had disappeared.

As December 1st remained in the launching posture, Maya stared in disbelief. Having not experienced the great battle in Shinjuku, she now had a renewed understanding of the power of the talisman.

"Shuo," Zhenyi said anxiously, feeling that releasing this power would definitely harm her body.

"fine......"

On the first day of December, looking up at the black hole in the sky, there was no reaction. The world seemed to have also judged this attack to be the work of Shinichi.

Perhaps, it's because of the appearance of the Shadow Legion that the scales have tipped once again.

Zhenyi hurriedly came to the side of December 1st and looked him up and down. Sure enough, he was not injured at all.

"You were injured because you were using the power of the talismans. Now the power of the talismans belongs to me. They can't hurt me."

"Um."

Zhenyi dusted herself off and stood up straight.

"Go back and tell Mr. Gojo that we ate ourselves to death."

"That's right, I've now unleashed even greater power."

Their eyes met, and suddenly, Mayi coughed up a mouthful of blood...

"Mayi!"
