The brave Simmel wants to resign

The incomplete assimilation of Sunu led to such a large-scale disappearance.

Incidentally, according to the latest census in 2017, Japan has approximately 126.7 million people. This time, the targets of the "assimilation" were completely random, and the scope was the entire Ryukyu Islands, with one-tenth of the nation's population being removed.

To go a step further—Japan's administration, legislation, judiciary, economy, media, and headquarters of major corporations are almost all located in Tokyo, but at this moment, it has become a battlefield, so everyone has been forced to evacuate.

Traffic was disrupted, shops were deserted, riots broke out frequently, and hospitals were overcrowded.

Panic spread throughout the country.

Such an unusual event should have triggered global riots.

However, after other countries realized that [Tengen needed to rely on a barrier for assimilation, and the barrier was limited to Japan], the voice suddenly fell silent.

This seemed like a natural disaster.

In the 1960s and 70s, Japanese geophysicist Hitoshi Takeuchi first proposed that Japan is located at the junction of the Pacific Plate and the Philippine Sea Plate subducting beneath the Eurasian Plate, and is sliding towards the Japan Trench and the Mariana Trench at a rate of about 8-10 centimeters per year.

Subsequently, this statement was quickly amplified into the "sinking theory," and from this starting point, modern doomsday theories began to become widely popular in Japan.

Volcanic eruptions, massive tsunamis, the sinking of Japan—these kinds of statements, which were initially just jokes, now seem to be gradually evolving into reality.

As for the outside world...

The country with the most reason to intervene has surprisingly remained silent. The uninformed public is merely puzzled, but those who know it better have a pretty good idea of ​​the truth.

The fact that it's so quiet means they made their move a while ago.

Ninety percent of countries are unwilling to intervene in this natural disaster targeting Liben, and while remaining silent, they are also turning their attention to this island nation.

Until that news came out...

[8 month 15 day]

The Curse King, Ryoumen Sukuna, will challenge all modern sorcerers.

Curiosity about spellcasting, a kind of 'superpower'.

The anticipation of Japan sinking.

Or perhaps they are simply bloodthirsty spectators who want to witness violence.

All eyes were on this.

And time... slowly passed.

--------------------------

"Lord Su Nuo, I am very sorry, I am willing to accept the punishment."

That was a 'palace' in a different sense from the conventional meaning of extravagance.

Tall trees stand in a haphazard array, creating a tranquil atmosphere.

Under the dense shade and in the still air, the throne, built of stone and ice for reclining, can be described as imposing in form.

The white-haired beauty reclined on it, her posture relaxed and carefree.

Her eyebrows and eyes were slightly closed, and her lips were softly outlined.

Her snow-white hair hung down her face without any intention of tidying it up; she was simply flipping through some books with great interest.

Rimei knelt to one side, her face filled with sorrow.

"Only seven fingers could be recovered; it's my fault..."

"It's alright."

Splash!

Su Nuo turned the page with her thumb, a smile playing on her lips, without even glancing at Rimei to add to the pressure.

"The sorcerers of this era are not bad. You have already done your best to find an opportunity to cooperate with me in possessing Fushiguro Megumi."

"We can't expect you to take away the fingers that Gojo Satoru and Simmel are in charge of, or control that brat Itadori Yuujin."

Rime: "That's true..."

Leaving aside Simmel and Gojo Satoru... Rime was heartbroken that she had been sent flying by that guy named Otsuku Yuta in one go.

That bastard... how dare he embarrass me in front of Sukuna... I'll definitely do it next time...

"Anyway, the rest can be made up for by Tianyuan's body and [Assimilation] to some extent." Su Nuo continued, seemingly oblivious to Rimei's struggle, "In terms of spell power and spell output alone, it is still nearly one-fifth higher than my peak."

"besides--"

Su Nuo held the book pages with one hand, while his left hand reached out in another direction.

Click.

It was a huge 'human-shaped' figure.

In terms of posture, it is similar to sitting cross-legged in meditation, but it is no longer a living thing, but is wrapped in a structure like dry tree bark.

[The Buddha in This Lifetime]

The term "incarnated Buddha" refers to the phenomenon in which Japanese monks, through extreme ascetic practices, transform themselves into mummies while still alive, ensuring their bodies do not decay after death.

Such beings are even revered as "living bodhisattvas," transcending the cycle of reincarnation.

Towards the end of the Heian period, Sukuna did indeed attempt this so-called 'extreme asceticism'.

However, he himself did not intend to leave behind a "Buddha in this very body," this is...

"That disgusting guy, Tianyuan."

After flipping through the pages, Su Nuo swallowed the head of the incarnate Buddha in his hand.

It seemed to have a slightly crunchy texture, and with a couple of crunches, Su Nuo chewed it up and swallowed it.

“A Buddha in this very body is at least comparable to millions of [Assimilations] – after consuming this, my level, compared to the spell artifacts I left behind… is probably around the level of 24 fingers.” Sukuna licked his lips.

"That's enough to deal with Gojo Satoru and the others."

Sukuna finally put down the manga book with "Naruto" written on it, and piled it together with the part he had already finished reading.

He looked at Rimei.

"Is the bath ready?"

"Yes."

Through a special ritual, the consciousness of the Heavenly Origin within the body is lowered... and the newly added soul is also brought to the bottom.

When Sukuna had just completed assimilation, he probably only had about 22 fingers of fighting power. If Gojo Satoru and Otsukoku Yuta were to attack together, considering the threat from the Boundless Void, Sukuna wouldn't dare say he was 100% confident.

However, Gojo Satoru did not expect that through [Bathing] and [Instant Buddha], Sukuna's strength had reached [Twenty-Four Fingers].

With this power, Sukuna was confident he could defeat Simmel and Gojo Satoru together.

but...

"Just in case, let's set up the barrier properly."

"Oh, right—"

Su Nuo turned around and spoke to Li Mei.

"Hang up the one Wan left behind, and prepare that cursed item for me as well."

"Yes!" Rimei knelt down.

"hehe."

Su Nuo turned back to look at the black pool water.

Now, he has everything he needs.

"So....."

Arriving at the front of the enormous black pool, Su Nuo removed her clothes and slowly walked into it.

The liquid level reached above the ankles, chest, and abdomen.

The waist-length hair briefly floated on the surface of the water before quickly sinking after being soaked in more bloody water.

Before completely immersing himself in the moment, Su Nuo looked up, as if piercing through countless walls, gazing into the distant horizon.

Are you all ready?

————————————————————————

"We're finally fully prepared!"

Higher vocational college.

Inside the training ground, Mingming jumped up.

With his deliberately long hair fluttering in the air, this seasoned sorcerer was now as excited as a child.

"Hahaha! Hahaha! I've made a fortune!"

"Su Nuo, the King of Curses, has been resurrected in the modern era! He challenges the entire world of sorcery single-handedly!"

"After the spell was exposed, even live streams on related topics were approved—such an exciting topic, to see such a battle, it's worth dying for! By broadcasting through my spell, I've earned nearly 10 billion just from ticket sales!"

"Hahaha! Hahahaha! Hahahahahaha!!"

The woman laughed loudly and without any restraint.

“You can still laugh.” Kusakabe sat to the side, his body wrapped in bandages, clearly still recovering from his previous injuries. “Once Sukuna destroys the world of magic, this Japan will become his country. Who knows, the first child born to every family will probably be sent to President Sukuna for him to enjoy.”

"It doesn't matter."

He waved his hand in the darkness.

"I will go abroad."

"Holy crap! Runren!"

Kusakabe is filled with regret.

It's because of you bunch of idiots who have no sense of national duty that we've become like this!

Of course, Kusakabe was just saying that; he never really expected anything from Mingming.

—He didn't even rely on himself.

(This is a real war. Facing a monster like Sukuna, we can only send out monsters.)
