"You're getting slower and slower, I can foresee your failure..." came out in a voice that sounded neither male nor female, as if stating a fact.

"Stop talking nonsense."

Gojo Satoru grinned, her six eyes gleaming with a pale blue light. She lunged forward, delivering a knee strike to the serpent's abdomen, but was stopped by the opponent's single hand.

Haven't you thought it through yet?

The giant snake sidestepped her follow-up elbow strike and said:

"Compared to me, your strength is inherently limited."

After speaking, the giant serpent placed its palm on Gojo Satoru's chest, and an invisible energy suddenly erupted.

boom!

Gojo Satoru was sent flying backward, crashing into several large trees and sliding for dozens of meters before coming to a stop.

A hint of fatigue flashed in her eyes, but within a few breaths, her eyes regained their sharp light, indicating that she had used a reversal technique.

"Again!"

Before Gojo Satoru could finish speaking, he was launched out like a cannonball.

Her speed was so fast that she left an afterimage in the air, her fist carrying the [Spell of Turning Azure], striking straight at the giant snake's face.

The giant snake raised its hand to block, and with a muffled "bang," the ground cracked open in a spiderweb pattern around the two of them, sending debris flying and the shockwave blasting up all the surrounding dust.

Without pausing, Gojo Satoru used the recoil to twist his body and swept a whip kick towards the side of the giant snake.

The giant snake dodged to the side, grabbed her ankle with its backhand, swung her up, and slammed her hard into the ground.

boom!

A large crater was smashed into the ground, and Gojo Satoru lay at the bottom of the crater, a trace of blood oozing from the corner of his mouth.

She gritted her teeth, a hint of defiance in her eyes.

"Is that all the strength you have?"

She braced herself with one hand, flipped herself up, and kicked the snake in the knee, forcing it to take a half step back.

At the same time, a red glow appeared at her fingertips. To ensure that the giant snake had no time to react, she did not chant, but only uttered a single sound:

"Spell Reversal He".

He burst forth instantly, slamming into the giant snake's chest.

Upon hearing this, the giant snake's pupils contracted, and it crossed its arms in front of itself to block. A burst of red light erupted, and the giant snake was blasted backward, sliding back more than ten meters, its feet carving two deep furrows in the ground.

The giant snake glanced down at its pierced hand and the charred mark on its chest, then expressionlessly turned its gaze back to Gojo Satoru.

"I have to admit, you are the strongest opponent I have encountered since my resurrection."

He paused, his gaze darkening.

"But that's all."

The giant serpent's figure flashed and instantly appeared in front of Gojo Satoru.

Gojo Satoru's pupils contracted sharply, thinking, "So fast!" She instinctively activated the Limitless Technique, trying to use its inviolability to stop Orochi's attack, but Orochi's fist had already come crashing down.

The fist was covered with a layer of cursed power. It was the serpent that materialized its domain onto its fist in order to break through the limitless barrier, giving up the sure-hit effect but retaining the domain barrier.

It is [domain extension].

In this situation, Orochi's fist, seemingly without limits, slammed heavily into Gojo Satoru's abdomen in disbelief.

Chapter 142: Two Against One

Orochi used almost all his strength in this attack. If it hit Gojo Satoru's abdomen, it could briefly disrupt the flow of her magical power, preventing her from using the Reversal Technique for a short time. During this period, Orochi could forcefully kill Gojo Satoru.

Just as the giant serpent's fist was about to break through the limit of invulnerability and strike Gojo Satoru's abdomen with terrifying force, a hand also covered in cursed patterns suddenly appeared, clamping down on the giant serpent's wrist and preventing him from advancing an inch.

This sudden turn of events plunged the battlefield into a deathly silence. Orochi and Gojo Satoru both looked at the newcomer, and saw a pink-haired boy wearing a hoodie and sporting a slicked-back hairstyle appear on the battlefield.

"Su Nuo...?!"

Sensing the surging and familiar magical power within the boy's body, the serpent's pupils contracted, and he blurted out that he was filled with instinctive fear of the guy who had killed him. To prevent Sukuna from unleashing a slash, his whole body turned white, and he quickly teleported a hundred meters away and fled.

"Can we continue fighting?"

After scaring away the giant snake, Sukuna glanced at Gojo Satoru, who looked completely bewildered, and asked him with concern.

Gojo Satoru nodded subconsciously, looking at the pink-haired boy who had saved her. The curse marks, the eyes, and the words Orochi had spoken—she immediately understood:

"Four-eyed guy, are you Ryomen Sukuna?"

"Don't give me a nickname as soon as we meet..."

Sukuna, who was in charge of Itadori Yuujin's body, was somewhat speechless, but he didn't dwell on it too much. Since he had come here, he naturally wanted to work with Gojo Satoru to get rid of the scourge, Yamata no Orochi.

Of course, it was a pipe dream for eight fingers to defeat the Yamata no Orochi, so he took the remaining twelve fingers from Zoro and ate them all in one go.

Now, his strength has recovered to its peak a thousand years ago, and together with Gojo Satoru, he is more than capable of dealing with the Yamata no Orochi.

Just as Sukuna was preparing to use this time to discuss tactics with Gojo Satoru, Gojo Satoru seemed to have forgotten that she was on a very dangerous battlefield, and kept asking questions like a curious child:

"Hey four-eyed guy, are you really Ryoumen Sukuna? Why do you look different from the portrait? Why does Yamata no Orochi know you? Are you brothers?"

And also, do you know the Buddha's Demon? What do you think of him? Was Tengen a recluse a thousand years ago as much as he is now? Were there more cursed spirits back then...?

Faced with this sudden barrage of questions, Sukuna was completely overwhelmed. He quickly spoke up, stopping Gojo Satoru from continuing:

"Stop! Now is not the time to chat. Don't forget, Orochi is still here. Let's take care of Orochi in one go, and then we can talk about these things."

Upon hearing this, Gojo Satoru gave an awkward smile. She adjusted her breathing and used a reversal technique to restore her body to its optimal state.

"I'm just a little surprised that my helper is an ancient relic from a thousand years ago. Do you understand how I feel right now?"

"........."

Sukuna remained silent. He had no idea how to deal with Gojo Satoru's somewhat eccentric personality and could only hope that she would talk less during battles.

Sukuna then turned his gaze to the distance, where the Yamata no Orochi stood, its eyes showing not only shock at seeing Sukuna again, but also a hint of displeasure:

"Two against one? How despicable."

Upon hearing this, Su Nuo chuckled and said:

"It wouldn't be considered despicable, after all... you are the Yamata no Orochi, two against one is fair."

Orochi frowned:

"You bastard, I'm getting more and more annoyed with you."

Sukuna didn't continue the conversation, but instead said to Gojo Satoru who was standing beside her:

"Go together."

After speaking, Sukuna and Gojo Gono rushed towards the giant snake. The giant snake was not afraid at all and went to meet them. The moment they made contact, the giant snake ducked to avoid Gojo Gono's punches and kicks, and then turned around and kicked Sukuna in the waist and abdomen.

A second before the attack landed, the giant snake noticed a bright blue light out of the corner of its eye. Its movements faltered, and a sharp pain shot through its arms.

puff!

Two sounds of flesh being pierced rang out. Sukuna used the slash [8] to sever Orochi's arms. Gojo Satoru, who had been using the [Spell of Turning Azure] on his fist to interfere with Orochi's attack, seized the opportunity and punched Orochi in the abdomen.

boom!

The giant snake, like a kite with a broken string, rolled haphazardly on the ground for dozens of meters before finally regaining its footing.

"It seems we have a good understanding."

Gotiao tightened his wrists and glanced at Su Nuo beside him. Su Nuo did not show any joy; instead, a look of solemnity appeared on his face.

At that moment, Gojo Satoru sensed the thickening air. She looked in the direction of Orochi and saw him use a reversal technique to heal his arm injury before opening his arms.

It is the Great Serpent opening the Fearless Seal, and the Great Serpent is about to unleash its domain to confront the two of them.

Gojo Satoru became excited and reached out to form the Indra's Seal, but before she could, Sukuna stopped her and said:

"let me."

At first, Gojo Satoru didn't understand what Sukuna was trying to do, but she quickly realized that she was being led astray by habitual thinking into a wrong decision. This situation allowed Sukuna to engage in a domain battle with Orochi. Once Orochi's technique melted, she could then unleash her domain and secure victory in one fell swoop.

So Gojou Gono lowered his hand and quietly watched Sukuna walk forward.

“I killed you a thousand years ago, and I can still kill you now. This is karma.”

"cause and effect?"

Upon hearing Su Nuo's words, the giant serpent chuckled:

"You died by my hand, that's what karma is."

After they finished speaking, the amount of magical energy in the air reached its peak, and both of them formed the Wide Open Fearless Seal/Yama Heaven Seal, and their domains expanded.

Orochi's domain, named [Oroku Yomi-zaka], is a closed domain with a diameter of forty meters. With the added benefit of a guaranteed hit, he can use techniques to directly eliminate any living or non-living things within the domain.

Although Sukuna's domain [Enchanted Chef] does not have a domain shell, the rule field constructed by the high concentration of curse power can still fight against Orochi's domain, rendering his domain's guaranteed hit effect ineffective.

Sukuna's winning condition is to use an open-domain attack on the relatively weak outer shell of the domain, forcing Orochi to enter the spell meltdown, and then let Gojo Satoru finish it off.

Orochi's victory condition is to severely injure or kill Sukuna before his domain is shattered; if he fails to do so, he will die.

In the enclosed space littered with snake skeletons, Su Nuo stood atop a shrine of flesh and blood, gazing down at the distant serpent. He said:

"If you're even slightly smart, you should understand what you'll face after the domain ends. If you could have foreseen this outcome, would you still have persisted in your own way?"

Upon hearing this, the giant serpent paused. He had no regrets about what he had done, for it was his innate mission.

If I had to say what I regret, it would be handling the conflict between humanity and nature in this way. If I had used a gentler approach, perhaps I would have succeeded...

Chapter 143: Su Nuo's Departure

The great serpent died. In the battle against Sukuna's domain, Sukuna achieved the victory conditions before him. At the moment the sealed outer shell of the domain shattered, he saw Gojo Sōno forming the Indra's Seal.

[Boundless Void] Endless junk information instantly invaded the serpent's mind. In order to process this useless and complicated information, he froze on the spot, completely losing all ability to resist.

The crows circling in the sky transmitted this scene to the monitor. The students of the high school looked at the scene on the monitor and were so surprised that it was as if the screen had been frozen. Natsumi Eri repeatedly checked the authenticity of the scene before finally coming to the conclusion that Gojo Satoru had won.

The next moment, cheers erupted throughout the venue. The students of the high school were cheering for Gojo's victory and for themselves for escaping a disaster. In this lively atmosphere, only Kimoto Rika stayed alone in a corner. Her face, which was usually full of gentle smiles, was now tinged with unease.

[Gojo won? Does that mean I'll have to keep a facade forever under Gojo's nose, and if I slip up even slightly, he'll kill me instantly?]
