Jujutsu Kaisen: I have everything I need now!

His left hand clenched into a fist, and a destructive red light burst forth from his eyes.

"The sacred dragon makes me fearless."

"[Dragon] Talisman, Full Power Explosion!"

On the first day of the twelfth month, a punch was thrown from a distance at the enormous sphere composed of an army of 100,000 shadows that was suspended in mid-air.

This is neither a ball of flame nor a pillar of fire.

It was a real explosion.

"BOOM!!!"

In that instant, the entire dark purple sky was completely illuminated by an intense, blazing white light.

Faced with this intense heat capable of melting space and its violent explosive energy, the 100,000-strong shadow army didn't even qualify to turn into black water; they were directly vaporized into the most basic void particles in mid-air.

The terrifying shockwave transformed into a visible ring of air that swept across the entire Shadow Kingdom.

The ropes on the throne were blown away by the shockwave. If the massive shadow king beside him hadn't diverted some of his power to block the aftershocks, his body would probably have disintegrated in the storm.

One strike, just one strike.

Enough to engulf an army of 100,000 in the present world, reducing them to ashes.

Below, Hisahito Itadori's mouth gaped open, his jaw almost dropping to the ground. He looked at the afterglow of the explosion in the sky, which resembled an artificial sun, and then at the godlike figure in mid-air.

"This...this is the person who's been hiding behind Mai-senpai all this time?" Itadori muttered to himself.

Mayi stared blankly at the sky. Although she knew that December 1st was very strong, in the mortal world, he was always subject to various restrictions, and using even a little power would result in a backlash. She had never imagined that when this man was completely freed from his constraints, he would possess such earth-shattering power.

"What exactly are you..." Zhenyi's heart was pounding at an alarming rate; it was a shocking and overwhelming feeling.

In the sky.

As December 1st slowly withdrew his left hand, he felt the surging power of the runes within his body, like a vast ocean. This feeling of being unrestrained and able to release it freely gave him an unprecedented sense of exhilaration.

"Your turn, mouse."

December 1st's gaze was fixed on Lu Suo, who had just regained his footing.

"A strong ox gives me the strength to uproot mountains."

"The swift rabbit makes me transcend time."

The power of the [Ox] talisman instantly flowed into his entire body, and the density of his flesh and muscle fibers reached a terrifying level in an instant.

At the same time, the speed of the [Rabbit] talisman made him disappear directly from the space where he was standing.

This is pure speed, exceeding light, even surpassing time.

Lu Suo didn't even have time to think before December 1st's figure appeared in front of him, less than half a meter away.

"you--"

Lu Suo had barely uttered a single word when December Shuo's fist, imbued with the power to shatter stars, slammed heavily into his abdomen.

"Bang!!!"

A dull, explosive sound.

Lu Suo's body exploded like a watermelon hit by a cannonball, his entire abdomen instantly shattering. His spine was pulverized by the terrifying force, and he crashed down from the sky onto the black throne below like a broken arrow.

"Boom!"

The seemingly indestructible black throne collapsed like a shoddy construction project the moment the rope struck it, sending debris flying through the air.

"Too weak."

The new moon of December hovered in mid-air, coldly watching the ruins below.

"Where are your proud schemes? In the face of absolute power, your plots and tricks are utterly laughable."

Black blood flowed amidst the ruins.

Lu Suo's mangled body convulsed amidst the ruins. His abdomen was completely gone, his internal organs scattered everywhere. An ordinary person would have been dead long ago. But he was Lu Suo; as long as his brain wasn't damaged, he could survive using reversal techniques or other bizarre methods.

"Cough cough... Hahaha..."

A chilling laugh echoed from the ruins.

Lu Suo's upper body crawled out with difficulty, and several stitches on his forehead broke, revealing the disgusting brain with a mouth inside.

He looked at the new moon in mid-air, his eyes filled not with fear, but with a mad, resentful rage.

"What terrifying power, completely detached from the system of cursed power."

"You monster."

Lu Suo was spitting out black blood while laughing wildly.

"But do you think that's all there is to it?"

"This is the Shadow Realm! The domain of the gods!"

Lu Suo suddenly plunged his broken hands into the black rocks underground.

"Great Shadow King! I descend, offering the blood and soul of my vessel as a sacrifice!"

With Lu Suo's roar, the enormous black shadow that had been hovering above the throne ruins suddenly began to boil violently.

The nine stars in the sky, each emitting a different color, shone brightly at this moment, and all the beams of light converged on the dark shadow.

"Boom!"

The entire Shadow Dimension began to tremble.

The dark shadow began to rapidly shrink and solidify. Finally, it transformed into a terrifying entity over a hundred meters tall, resembling an ancient demon god.

It has eight thick arms and is clad in heavy armor made of pure dark laws. Its face is hidden beneath a massive, ultimate mask that incorporates the features of the nine generals.

The true form of the Shadow King has descended.

It made no sound, but just by standing there, the surrounding space began to collapse and crumble on a large scale.

Compared to its enormous size, the new moon, suspended in mid-air, looked as tiny as a flying insect.

"Die! Be crushed by the abyss!" Lu Su roared madly from below.

The Shadow King slowly raised a massive arm, which was wrapped in dark laws capable of annihilating all souls. Like a toppled mountain, it slammed down on the first day of the twelfth lunar month.

A huge shadow fell over the first day of December.

Below, both May and Itajimaru's hearts were in their throats. That level of attack was beyond anything they could comprehend.

But nothing was done on the first day of December.

He slowly raised his head, looking at the giant hand that seemed to crash down like the sky, his eyes filled with an arrogant disdain for everything.

"Gods?"

A mocking sneer curled at the corner of December's lips.

"The immortal dog makes me immortal."

"【Dog】Spell, Full Power Unleashed!"

Boom!

A giant, dark hand slammed down on December 1st.

The ground within a radius of several kilometers was completely scuttled by this attack. The violent shockwave forced Zhenyi, Itadori, and the others to lie firmly on the ground to avoid being blown away.

Lu Suo looked at the area completely submerged by dark energy and let out a maniacal laugh.

"Crushed! Before this power, no matter what you are, you will be crushed to dust!"

However, his laughter had not yet subsided.

"Is that all the strength you have? Aren't you full?"

An extremely flat voice came from beneath the enormous hand pressing down on the ground.

Lu Suo's laughter stopped abruptly.

A hint of human-like astonishment appeared on the Shadow King's enormous face. It tried to raise its hand, only to find that its palm was firmly held down by an unshakeable divine pillar.

"Click click click..."

To everyone's astonishment, the Shadow King's giant hand, covered in the laws of darkness, was actually being forced up bit by bit.

On the first day of the twelfth month, he held up a giant hand that was hundreds of times larger than himself with one hand, and there wasn't a speck of dust on his body.

Under full power release, the absolute immortality of the [Dog] talisman gave rise to absolute defense, turning it into the most indestructible existence without the world's suppression.

"Have you had enough fun, big guy?"

December 1st kicked the giant hand hard in the palm, and the huge recoil force made the hundred-meter-tall Shadow King stagger backward a step.

The new moon slowly rose into the sky, reaching the same height as the King of Shadows.

He looked at the so-called "deity," and the golden light in his eyes was replaced by two extremely hot white beams of light.

"Now, it's my turn."

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

"[Pig] Talisman, unleash full power!"

On the first day of December, his eyes suddenly widened.

Boom!

Two incandescent white lasers, each over ten meters in diameter and thousands of times brighter than the core of the sun, burst forth from his eyes!

This is not an ordinary energy ray; this is pure destruction.

The blazing white laser pierced the Shadow King's chest in an instant. The supposedly unbreakable layer of dark armor was as fragile as paper before Electro Eye, instantly vaporizing.

"roar!!!"

The Shadow King let out his first scream since his arrival, a sound so piercing it seemed to tear the entire dimension apart.

A huge hole, tens of meters in diameter, was burned into its chest. The shadow energy at the edge tried to repair it, but it was instantly evaporated into nothingness upon contact with the remaining scorching white heat.

"Is this the god you rely on?"

December 1st hovered in mid-air, like a true god. The white light in his eyes continued to shoot out wildly, and he slowly turned his head.

The blazing white beams of light, like two swords slicing through the heavens and earth, swept upwards from the Shadow King's chest.

"Sizzle!"

The Shadow King's arm was severed.

The second arm was evaporated.

Its enormous body began to disintegrate and melt under the unreasonable destructive beams of the [Pig] talisman.

Lu Suo below stared blankly at this scene.

His mind went blank.

How is that possible?

The King of Shadows, the origin of the shadow dimension, an immortal being. Why are we utterly powerless against the light emanating from this man's eyes?!

"No...this is impossible!" Luso roared hysterically.

The rays ceased on the first day of December.

The Shadow King had lost most of his body and collapsed into the black ruins, barely clinging to life.

The new moon of December descended slowly, landing lightly in front of Lu Suo.

He looked down at the terrified strategist, his eyes cold and devoid of any pity.

On the first day of the twelfth month, he slowly raised his right foot and aimed it at Lu Suo's exposed brain.

"Nothing is impossible."
