The Emperor Engine's God-like Skill System

However, this is only a part of Sukuna's fingers. Ryōmen Sukuna, which has four fingers, has twenty fingers. People in the world of sorcery have not collected them all, but this is also the main task of sorcerers.

During this time, Yuta and the others have successfully advanced to the second year, and he, who has been promoted to a special-grade sorcerer, will go abroad on a mission.

Although Fushiguro Megumi is only a first-year student, his extraordinary talent has already led him to engage in various activities to exorcise cursed spirits.

“King-sensei, today Gojo-sensei asked me to retrieve a cursed item from the vicinity.”

Fushiguro Megumi said to King,

"It seems to be the fingers of Ryoumen Sukuna. He asked me to tell you."

"I'll go with you."

King nodded slightly and said...

"Anyway, if you bring your finger back later, I'll have to remove it anyway."

"Ah."

Fushiguro Megumi responded with a sound of agreement, then, as if remembering something, looked up and asked,

"By the way, Teacher King, has there been any news about the person with the stitches on their head?"

"Sorry, not yet."

King shook his head. Although he had enjoyed a period of peace, he could sense that the frequency of events caused by the cursed spirits had increased recently. Although he had investigated, there seemed to be no progress.

"Yeah......"

Fushiguro lowered her head, a hint of disappointment in her eyes.

Just then, King patted him on the shoulder:

"Don't worry, leave everything to me. I'll find it for you."

King spoke to Fushiguro Megumi, his voice low but conveying a sense of complete trust.

Megumi Fushiguro is King's most recent student, and also the one with the most extreme personality. She is even more indifferent and closed-off than Benio Adashino and others, but she has improved a lot after spending time with King.

"Let's go then."

......

It was already dark when King and Fushiguro Megumi arrived at their target school.

"Teacher King, please wait here for a moment."

Fushiguro Megumi said to King,

"I'll take care of it soon."

"Well, let's go."

King nodded to Fushiguro Megumi. Although he could easily resolve everything himself, he wanted to use this opportunity to train her. She had already demonstrated considerable strength, but still needed further refinement.

"Please let me know immediately if there are any unexpected situations."

"Okay, I'm off."

"Fukuguro Megumi said, and then immediately used his technique—Jade Dog."

A white dog appeared beside Fushiguro Megumi, and then the two of them headed towards the school together.

"If nothing unexpected happens, Fushiguro Megumi should be able to complete the mission with ease."

King muttered to himself, "Fukuguro Megumi is now a level two sorcerer, so he won't be assigned any particularly difficult tasks."

"Seriously, why would I set a flag for myself!"

King shook his head, then summoned a spirit that resembled Doraemon. He took out a handheld game console from his body and started playing games to pass the time.

If he could avoid taking action, King naturally wouldn't want to. After all, it's nighttime, and Escanor's power can't be fully utilized. If he were to force it, he would naturally have to use the 'recovery' skill. Although there are no side effects, King naturally doesn't want to suffer the pain.

The event passed quickly. Just as King had finished killing a BOSS without taking any damage, he heard a huge explosion.

In an instant, the school's ceiling was blown apart.

"what happened?"

King frowned slightly. He knew Fukuro Megumi's methods; she couldn't possibly have created such a commotion. Something must have happened.

Honestly, why set such a high bar when there's nothing else to do?

It's going to hurt for a while longer...

King shook his head helplessly, then burned his life force to unleash his power. The surrounding temperature suddenly rose, and blood as hot as magma washed over his veins.

[Above and below heaven, I alone am supreme!]

Even in the darkness of night, King can still burn his life force to force himself into his strongest state at noon. If the rate at which he burns his life force is extremely high, an ordinary person would probably burn out and die in just a few minutes.

However, King also possesses the ability to regenerate, allowing him to continuously reset his physical state. So, theoretically, he can maintain this state indefinitely—but in return, he will suffer intense pain. As long as he continues to use the regeneration skill, he will constantly feel the pain.

Although reluctant, King couldn't worry about the potential danger to Fushiguro Megumi right now.

He pushed off with both feet, creating a huge crater in the ground, and in the next instant, King appeared on the school's rooftop.

When King arrived, he saw a mess on one side of the teaching building's rooftop; the once-solid ground had been completely destroyed.

Fushiguro Megumi squatted down to the side, looking breathless as she gazed at the scene in the distance. A little further away, there was an enormous cursed spirit that looked extremely ferocious.

But there was one even more ferocious in front of that cursed spirit—a man.

He grabbed the cursed spirit's mouth with both hands and then ripped it open, tearing it to pieces. The difference in their strength was immediately apparent.

King narrowed his eyes slightly; he felt that the man looked somewhat familiar.

Although the student was wearing a school uniform, King noticed that the student's movements and expressions were very similar to those of Ryomen Sukuna.

The clothes were torn, revealing a jet-black tattoo beneath the person's body—without a doubt, this was Ryoumen Sukuna.

King's brow twitched slightly, because he knew that the only remnant of Ryoumen Sukuna in the mortal realm should be its fingers.

"what happened?"

King reached out and used his healing skill to heal all of Fushiguro Megumi's injuries, then asked.

"He swallowed two Sukuna's fingers to save his classmate!"

Fushiguro Megumi said nervously,

"His body seems to have been taken over by Ryoumen Sukuna... but he did it to save his classmate. Can King-sensei think of a way?"

Fushiguro Megumi's tone was very anxious. Although he seemed like a very cold person, after seeing that person in the distance protect his classmate at the cost of having his body taken away by Ryoumen Sukuna, he was also worried about the other person and wanted to find a way to save him.

"Do not worry."

King nodded to Fushiguro Megumi, then walked up to the person and fixed his gaze on them.

"This era is wonderful! There are women and children everywhere! It's amazing!"

He spread his arms wide, looking quite crazed.

But in that instant, his movements and body changed again, as if he had become a different person.

"Hey, I'm telling you, don't just suddenly take over someone else's body."

It was as if another voice was ringing out inside him, and at the same time, he grabbed his own throat.

This sudden turn of events surprised King. The man no longer showed any signs of his earlier madness, and his tattoos had disappeared.

"I don't know if he is Yuto Itadori or Sukuna Ryoumen."

"I can't believe it!" asked Fushiguro Megumi, who was standing to the side, looking nervous.

"Yuto Itadori... It should be him now."

King spoke slowly, his gaze fixed on the other person. Using his divine vision, he could confirm that the body he was in belonged to Itadori Yuuto, and not to Ryoumen Sukuna.

This made him curious about what was going on with this person. After swallowing two of Sukuna's fingers, although he was briefly controlled, he was still able to regain control of his body. This was something King himself had never heard of.

This is enough to show that the boy in front of them is not an ordinary person.

"Are you called Yuuto Itadori?"

The king asked slowly.

"Oh, nice to meet you. May I ask who you are?"

Yuuto Itadori's face was filled with confusion; he had no idea who King was.

“My name is King, and I am his teacher.”

As King spoke, he turned his gaze to Fushiguro Megumi, who was standing to the side. Although the latter was very nervous at first, he relaxed after King arrived, because he believed that no matter what the problem was, as long as King was involved, it would definitely be solved.

"Hello, my name is Yuto Itadori, nice to meet you."

Yuto Itadori said politely.

"Are you able to control your body freely?"

The king asked.

"kindness."

"Can you summon Ryoumen Sukuna—the one inside you?"

King pressed on with his question.

"It should be possible..."

As he spoke, Yuuto Itadori's expression became somewhat complicated.

"But that would cause very bad things..."

"Don't worry, I'll take care of that thing you summoned."

King said casually,

"I've known that guy for a long time."

In King's eyes, each finger was insignificant, but he was concerned about whether Yuto Itadori in front of him truly possessed the power to suppress Sukuna Ryoumen.

If this is true, the boy will probably be used as an experimental subject by the higher-ups in the sorcery world, or eliminated because they deem him too dangerous.

Regardless of the outcome, the time that Yuto Itadori spent as an ordinary person has come to a complete end.

If left unattended, the very existence of Ryomen Sukuna would pose a significant threat and must be eliminated.
