Jujutsu Kaisen: I have everything I need now!

Yokohama Port, backup power plant.

The enormous cooling towers resembled crouching behemoths, spewing white steam into the night.

"It's too quiet."

Maki crouched atop a shipping container, her long, cursed sword slightly drawn from its sheath. Her eyes scanned her surroundings; the only sounds besides the crashing waves against the shore were the hissing of electricity flowing through high-voltage lines.

"Why isn't there a single guard?" Yuta Otsuko squatted down beside her, his brows furrowed. "If this were General Nightbat's stronghold, it should be surrounded by guard bats."

That's why I said it might be a trap.

Zhenyi walked up from behind, with the new moon floating above her head, acting as an all-around radar.

"Saku said the energy reaction inside is strange." Zhenyi pointed to the tallest power tower in the distance. "Although that giant bat is absorbing electricity, it is not using the energy it absorbs to strengthen itself, but rather it is all concentrated on a single point on its abdomen."

"The abdomen?" Tiger Stick poked its head out from under the container. "Is that its weak point?"

"Not necessarily. It could also be a bomb," Maya said coldly.

"A bomb?!" Kugizaki exclaimed in surprise. "You mean that thing is a suicide truck?"

"It's hard to say, Shuo said he's never seen it before either."

As December 1st looked at the dark figure hanging on the power tower, his unease grew stronger.

The shadow's posture was too strange. It was as if it were nailed to an electric tower, mechanically repeating the act of feeding. Moreover, the energy reaction point on its abdomen gave Shuo a very dangerous feeling.

The heat vision brought by the [Pig] talisman not only sensed electrical energy, but also a familiar energy.

"Tell them to be careful and not get too close," December said in a deep voice. "That thing is very unstable. A rash attack could trigger a chain reaction."

Zhenyi nodded and was about to speak to convey her message.

Just then, something unexpected happened.

The shadow soldier hanging on the power tower suddenly stopped consuming the energy.

Its empty red eyes suddenly darted around, locking onto the spot where everyone was hiding.

"roar--!!!"

A piercing shriek echoed through the night sky.

Immediately afterwards, instead of attacking as everyone expected, it opened its huge mouth full of fangs and spewed a black beam of light into the sky.

"What is it doing? Summoning its companions?" Itadori asked.

"That's a signal! Spread out!"

Yi Gu shouted. But before he could finish speaking, the ground around the power plant suddenly exploded.

Countless black tentacles emerged from the ground. Instead of attacking the group, they quickly intertwined to form a massive black cage, completely sealing off the central area of ​​the power plant—the location where the group and the power tower were situated.

"It's a 'tent'!" Maki slashed at the black tentacle with her sword, but only a string of sparks flew. "So hard! This isn't an ordinary tent!"

"This is a barrier I prepared especially for you."

A chilling voice echoed around everyone.

That was the sound of a sluice.

"Welcome to the Yokohama stage. Fellow students of the vocational high school."

"Lu Suo! Where are you! Get out here!" Hu Zhang roared at the sky.

"Don't get so worked up, Yuujin." Ryosaku's voice was tinged with laughter. "I'm just a spectator. The real protagonist is it."

The enormous shadow on the power tower slowly released its grip on the tower.

It didn't take off; instead, it landed heavily on the ground.

"Boom!"

Only then did everyone see its full appearance.

Its belly bulged high, glowing with a dark red light, like a reactor about to explode. Its skin had become transparent due to excessive expansion, revealing the surging lightning and flames within.

"It...it's going to explode?" Kugizaki's face turned pale.

"No, it's waiting for us to make a move." Mai gripped her gun tightly, her palms sweating. "Saku said that if we don't attack it, it will keep expanding until it explodes naturally. If we attack it..."

"It will detonate prematurely," Yi Gu continued, his face extremely grim. "Moreover, within this sealed barrier, the power of the explosion will be amplified many times over. We will be instantly vaporized."

"What should we do then? Just wait here to die?" Maki gritted her teeth.

At this moment, December 1st arrived at the front of the group, facing the monster that was about to explode.

"There are other ways, but the energy within it is too chaotic. Electricity, fire, and shadow. Although these three are forcibly mixed together, they are not truly integrated."

He turned his head and looked at Zhenyi.

"Mai, do you remember the avalanche we encountered while skiing in Hokkaido?"

Zhenyi paused for a moment, then realized what was going on.

"You mean... artificial induction?"

"Yes." December pointed to the monster's belly. "Instead of letting it explode all at once, we should open it up and let the energy leak out slowly."

"But this requires extremely precise operation," Maya frowned. "And, if it fails..."

"Then you'll all turn into steam." December 1st chuckled. "Want to bet?"

Zhenyi looked at the new moon in December in front of her, and then at her nervous companions behind her.

She took a deep breath and raised her gun.

"When have I ever been afraid?"

"Listen up, everyone!" Zhenyi shouted, her voice drowning out the electrical noise. "We're going to give this pregnant woman a C-section! Anyone who doesn't want to die, get somewhere safe!"

"Huh? A C-section?" Itadori looked completely bewildered.

"Don't ask! Just do it!" Although Maki didn't understand either, she trusted Mai. She grabbed Itadori and Kugizaki, pushed off with her feet, and stood up a concrete block, hiding behind it.

Yigu then summoned Rika, who stood in front of everyone.

"You go hide too, I'll handle this myself."

"ha?"

Mayi looked at December 1st with confusion. "But if I'm not here, you can..."

"Don't worry, you can stay as far away from me as possible."

Upon hearing this, Mayi quickly ran to Maki's side, and Maki pulled her into her arms and nodded at her.

"bring it on."

A golden-pink light shone in December's eyes, but this time, it was no longer a violent outburst, but rather extreme calmness and control.

The shadow soldier seemed to sense the danger. It roared and charged towards the group with heavy steps. With each step it took, the red light inside its belly intensified.

Fifty meters.

Thirty meters.

ten meters.

The monster's heatwave was already hitting us, and we could even smell the burning odor.

Suddenly, a white laser beam appeared out of nowhere in everyone's sight.

"puff."

A soft sound.

The white laser precisely pierced the spot on the monster's abdomen where the red light was strongest.

Time seemed to stand still at that moment.

The monster's charge suddenly froze.

"Sizzle—"

A small hole appeared on the monster's belly. Immediately afterwards, a blinding jet of high-pressure fire shot out from the hole, as if the pressure relief valve on a pressure cooker had been removed.

"Awoooooo!!!"

The monster let out a piercing scream.

The pillar of fire did not spread outwards, but instead, guided by the power of the new moon's thoughts, shot straight into the sky and crashed into the black barrier at the top.

"Boom!"

The barrier trembled violently under the terrifying energy impact, and faint cracks appeared.

"We did it!" Itachi poked his head out and shouted excitedly.

"It's going to disintegrate!" December's pupils contracted, and he turned around to shout at Zhenyi.

In an instant, Zhenyi understood December 1st's thoughts.

"Bone (乙)!"

"Understood!"

Yigu Youtai rushed out from behind the cover, his hands forming a mudra.

At the same time, Maki rushed out. Her long sword precisely sliced ​​into the monster's leg.

The monster, having lost its support, collapsed to the ground with a thud, flames still spewing from the hole in its belly, like a deflated balloon.

Just then, the shadows in front of everyone began to collapse, shrinking inward as if they were about to explode at any moment.

December reacted extremely quickly. He raised his left hand, and a huge amount of psychic power enveloped the monster, carrying it rapidly upwards towards the top of the barrier.

"Bang!"

The monster's enormous body instantly disintegrated in mid-air, turning into a sky full of black ash.

The barrier slowly dissipated with the explosion.

The sea breeze blew in again, bringing coolness and dispelling the scorching smell in the air.

"We won..." Itajō plopped down on the ground, panting heavily. "That really... scared me to death."

However, before everyone could even breathe a sigh of relief...

"Slap, slap, slap."

A round of applause came from the top of the power tower.

Everyone looked up abruptly.

At the top of that high-voltage power tower, a person was standing there, seemingly out of nowhere.

He was wearing a kasaya, a demon mask on his face, and holding the extinguished red sphere in his hand.

"Brilliant, truly brilliant." Lu Su looked down at the disheveled group. "I didn't expect you to come up with this method. It seems I underestimated that 'Ghost' Mr.

"Lu Suo!" Yi Gu raised his knife, his eyes cold.

"Don't look at me like that." Lu Suo smiled, his figure flickering as if about to disappear. "You win this round. However, this is just the beginning."

He pointed to the pile of black ash left by the monster on the ground.

"Do you think this is the end?"

Everyone's eyes instinctively turned to the pile of black ash.

Amidst the black ash, a piece of paper lay quietly.

That was left behind by Lu Suo.

Maki walked over and picked up the note.

There was only one line of text above, written in a messy and chaotic hand:

【The Starting Point of the Extinction Migration】
