Bony Boy goes to JJK World
Hey there, Author here with a recommendation for once. I just wanted to say that I finished reading the Overlord web novel today and damn what a read. I gave it a pass a few years ago as the beginning of it is pretty much the same as the Overlord light novel, but it deviates a lot from the original plot after the Nazarick invasion ark so if you haven't read it yet, you should. Especially if you're craving more Overlord.
Enjoy the chapter, peace.

Geto's team didn't take long to cross the ice plains of the 5th floor, The cursed spirits left to protect the area were not strong enough to tank even a couple of hits from Kashimo and Yorozu who were both in a hurry to meet Sukuna.
They quickly reached the area where the guardian would be waiting for them, but once they saw that the door was open they quickly understood what had happened. "Sukuna killed the guardian and went ahead? " Kashimo asked as he scratched his right cheek. It didn't make sense for him for Sukuna to just move on to the next layer without having an invitation at hand, but since Geto didn't explain anything about his plans it could be completely expected.
Kashimo and Yorozu were trapped inside their own mind as they tried to make sense of the situation. "Hm... I told Sukuna to stay put after he awakened and besides... " Geto quickly continued walking forward making both of his teammates rush behind him. "Sukuna is supposed to be freed in the sixth layer. So this is probably Gojo's work." Geto said as he entered the teleporting zone.
"Sixth layer? The next one then. " Kashimo said as he entered the teleporting zone.
"My love, Sukuna. I can't wait to see you." Yorozu said as she grabbed herself while making weird noises. She quickly stopped once she noticed that she was left behind and then walked over to the teleporting zone, but before entering, Yorozu turned her head in a seemingly random direction.
Yorozu continued to watch the snowy area and the trees as if she was looking for something. 'Maybe I'm just seeing things. ' Yorozu thought as she turned to the doorway and teleportation zone.
After a few minutes passed, something popped out of the snow near Cocytus's castle. It was a fox-looking creature and one of Megumi's shikigami. The fox was a very weak summon but also very hard to spot. In the middle of a place like Ainz's Domain, where powerful curses lurked everywhere, it made it nearly impossible to track it with cursed energy alone and thus Megumi used it to keep tabs on where his enemies were.
"The fox hasn't moved for a good five minutes. They must have left the layer. " Megumi said to Hana who was hiding behind one of the trees in the distance. While they could have a good view of Geto's team by using a slave sight type ability, Megumi decided that the general location was good enough for now so he didn't use any special abilities from his shikigami which meant that Megumi wasn't sure about the team's identity besides for Geto's.
"Sukuna must be on the next layer then. " Hana said as she started walking toward the guardian's arena. Megumi couldn't believe that Angel was walking so casually just because she learned that the enemies left, but then again Angel's firepower proved to be extremely useful against all the other curses they encountered, and the only reason she felt the need to skulk around was the possibility that Sukuna was here.
"Alright. " Megumi said as he started walking after her. There was no reason for him to hesitate now that he was this deep into the game. Death was pretty much guaranteed at any point from now on, but Megumi felt oddly at peace with that. The thought that he was on a suicide mission barely entered his mind even though he could barely withstand the cold by using his cursed energy to protect himself. "Hana... I mean, Angel. Are you sure you can take Sukuna? " Megumi asked. The only thing holding supporting his mental state by this point was the fact that Yuji could be saved by Angel's technique.
A small mouth formed under Hana's mouth. "If I get close enough to him I can cleanse the vessel which will kill the parasite. Even Sukuna can't defend against that. " Angel said before the mouth reverted back to being normal skin.
"Don't worry, Megumi. Angel promised me that we can take him. " Hana said as she glanced over to Megumi. She turned to her goal in the distance. "And maybe after this is over we can go out on a date? " Hana whispered to herself.
"Did you say something? " Megumi asked with a puzzled look on his face.
"Nope. Nothing at all. " Hana quickly answered while shaking her head.
Sukuna's pov
The king of curses was left in the middle of the arena with nothing to do so he decided to have a little fun with the golems that were in the stands. One by one, Sukuna would walk up to them and kick their heads off their bodies, of course, after the third golem it became dull, but Sukuna had already decided that doing anything was better than doing nothing. "Beating the guardians took less time than waiting for that idiot. " Sukuna said as he felt a Geto's cursed energy entering the 6th layer.
Sukuna then quickly jumped away from the stands. He moved around in the air drawing multiple lines across all of the golems which then were sliced apart. The pieces fell to the ground crushing the remains of the golems before rolling down the stands and falling on the arena. "Kenjaku! You're fucking late! " Sukuna screamed as he placed both of his hands inside his pockets.
Geto, who had just entered the layer, was left speechless because of the view. "An underground dungeon, a huge lake, a frozen lake, and now a gigantic forest. Ainz you really might be the best Domain user in the world right now. " Geto said as he took a few moments to appreciate the mastery of cursed energy on display.
However, it didn't take long for Geto to feel the very familiar and powerful cursed energy. "Sukuna. " Geto whispered under his breath as jumped on a tree to get a sense of where they were going. "A stone colessium looking building. Must be the guardian's room. Since Sukuna's cursed energy came from there it means that he's ready to move on to the next layer... and he might be pissed with me too. " Geto said as he shook his head.
Kashimo, who was the second one to enter, felt Sukuna's power. Without any hesitation and without saying anything, Kashimo took off running in Sukuna's direction. 'Oh no. ' Geto thought as he saw Kashimo a good hundred meters ahead of him. 'He's gonna die.'
Yorozu was the final one to enter and she was too late to feel Sukuna's power. Yorozu quickly looked around trying to search for her beloved but once she saw that Geto was standing atop a tree, she quickly understood that Sukuna was not nearby. "Geto's looking for him then? Where could he possibly- " Yorozu stopped talking to herself once she noticed that Kashimo's cursed energy was moving away from where they were. "Lord Sukuna! I'm coming! " Yorozu screamed as she took off running after Kashimo. The only reason that she could think of that would make Kashimo run like that was if he had Sukuna and thus she had to stop Kashimo before he took Sukuna's attention away from her.
"... " Geto just watched as both of the idiots ran past a few cursed spirits as they rushed toward Sukuna and even though each of them had a different reason, Geto could only sigh at them. "Not gonna lie. I kinda hope Sukuna kills both of them. " Geto said as he began chasing after the two idiots.
Sukuna stood in the middle of the arena. Unable to contain his impatience, he started walking in circles while staring at the door leading to the next layer. He knew that more than half an hour must have passed after had defeated the guardian, but he couldn't tell how much time he had left until the end of the game. The 7th, 8th, and 9th layers were also an unknown for Sukuna and while he was confident that nothing could stop him from reaching Ainz, the possibility of time out was still there.
"Finally. " Sukuna said as he saw someone jumping over the walls heading toward him. He didn't recognize who that person was, but since they entered the layer right after Geto, Sukuna believed that the insect heading toward him was carrying the invitation. "Give it to me. " Sukuna said as he looked at the woman.
"Sukuna! You have no idea how much I waited for this moment. " Kashimo said as he covered himself with cursed energy. The voice sounded extremely masculine for a woman, but once Sukuna took a careful look, he realized that the person in front of him was actually a vessel with someone else moving the body which made him believe that Geto was the one that sent her.
"The invitation you maggot. Where is it? " Sukuna said once again as he was reassured by the nature of the person standing in front of him. There was no doubt that Geto was behind this person, 'Why is the invitation not in my hands?!' Sukuna thought to himself as he watched the woman cover herself with cursed energy.
"Let's see how powerful the strongest jujutsu sorcerer is! " Kashimo screamed as he prepared his cursed technique.
"Oh. So you want to fight? " Sukuna said as he moved his right hand. "I don't have time to waste on you. " Kashimo's body was sliced in hundreds of different directions.
The ancient jujutsu sorcerer was left astonished by the dominant display of power that Sukuna used. "So this is... the difference- " Kashimo was not able to finish his sentence before dying in mid-air as his body separated into various pieces. His one-time use cursed technique that he had prepared for this moment was too slow. He was too slow.
Sukuna quickly jumped out of the fragment's way and turned his attention to the second presence that was running toward him. "If they don't have the invitation, I'll kill them. " Sukuna thought as he watched someone else jump over the wall.
"Lord Sukuna! " The woman screamed as she grabbed her face with both her hands. She then quickly ran after Sukuna.
"Invitation? " Sukuna asked her as he placed his cursed energy around his right hand once more.
Yorozu quickly recognized the action and stopped running. "Geto has it, my love. " Yorozu said as she smiled at Sukuna.
"My love? " Sukuna asked her with a confused face.
"It's me, Yorozu! " Yorozu said as she winked at him.
Sukuna quickly pulled back his cursed energy into his body before turning to the side. The disgust on his face was almost palpable as he remembered who Yorozu was. "Where is Geto?! " Sukuna asked as he showed no interest in Yorozu.
"He's almost here. " Yorozu said as she slowly began to close the distance between them.
"Stay right there. " Sukuna said as soon as he noticed what she was doing.
Yorozu's face became extremely distorted as the anger in her soul began to erupt. "Why do you not accept my love, Sukuna?! " Yorozu asked with a venomous voice, but Sukuna didn't show any sort of reaction to it besides even more disgust.
Geto jumped over the wall just in time to stop Yorozu from doing anything stupid as Sukuna quickly changed the topic. "Give the fucking invitation to me. " Sukuna said.
"Alright. " Geto said as he quickly placed his hands inside his kimono. He then brought it out before throwing it to Sukuna. ""There you have it. Just like I promised.
Sukuna grabbed the invitation which both turned him into a real player of the game and allowed him to claim the treasure at the end. "A promise that's completely and utterly out of schedule? Not worth much. " Sukuna said as he started walking toward the door leading to the 7th layer.
"Don't be like that Sukuna. " Geto said as he started following the king of curses.
"Yes, my love. Won't you at least give me a hug? " Yorozu said as she jumped toward Sukuna who quickly performed a roundhouse kick.
"Get away from me you maniac. " Sukuna said as Yorozu placed her hand on top of his leg before using it as support to move her body away from the attack.
Geto saw as Yorozu easily dodged the attack before doing a flip in mid-air and falling a few meters away. "Stop playing around, Yorozu. " Geto said as all of them headed toward the next layer.
"You seem to be in a hurry, Sukuna. Do you think Ainz's domain is that hard? " Geto asked while trying to poke fun at Sukuna.
"That cursed spirit is strong, but I'm not worried about the power level. The length is the problem here. " Sukuna said as he continued walking forward.
"I thought you trying so hard because you wanted to destroy Ainz. Are you saying that you can beat him with no problem?" Geto asked.
Sukuna stopped for a moment before saying, "That skeleton curse is strong. No, scratch that, very strong, but that's just compared to a normal cursed spirit. I can beat it no problem. " Sukuna said the last part while smiling toward Geto.
