Bony Boy goes to JJK World
Hello, there. Author here. There are two things that I wanted to talk about.
First, The next chapter will be the final chapter of the story. Yeah! Finally. I'm so happy that I managed to keep the schedule until now and relieved that I'll finally get a break.
Second, I haven't read any reviews for the past few chapters. I don't want the ending to be influenced by them so I have kept away from the review section. That means that I have no idea whether you guys are enjoying or hating the story right now or even if I have made some mistakes. I just wanted to say this now because I have responded to comments up until recently so if you left a question and were wondering why I haven't answered, it's because I'm doing something different in these final chapters. Sorry for any problems that arose from this decision. I'm just doing one final experiment by writing without being guided by your opinion.
Enjoy the chapter.

Sukuna's pov
Ootoshi, a humanoid-looking creature wearing a mask with a beautiful red sun painted over began walking toward Sukuna. There was no way of knowing exactly what he truly was or what type of cursed technique he could use, but that was the least of Sukuna's worries.
[Death Whistle]
Uka no Mitama, a short-haired girl wearing a kimono similar to Aureole with a fox mask covering her face, stood on Sukuna's right side. She had both her thumb and her index finger inside her mouth making a whistling noise that only her target could hear.
Sukuna felt a sharp pain coming from the side of his head. A sharp shriek rang right beside his ear causing him to become disoriented. He quickly went to the floor where he had no other choice, but to stay on one knee with his head down as Sukuna tried to overcome the ability.
"Is that it? Boring..." Aureole said as she raised her head to Ootoshi who simply nodded. The curse then grabbed Sukuna like a sack of potatoes before throwing him over his shoulder. "Thank you for clearing the garbage. "
'Garbage?! ' The word resonated inside Sukuna's mind. He had his head turned to Aureole and could easily see how the mock guardian didn't even see him as a threat. She was scratching the side of her face while looking at where they were heading. It took a lot of effort from Sukuna just so he could form a coherent thought. 'Damn it! I can't even lift a finger like this... '
"What about that other intruder, Aureole? " Ootoshi asked. Even without seeing anything, Megumi continued walking forward and was now standing outside the protected zone which made him the next target.
Rubedo was the first one to take action against Megumi. She quickly placed her hand on the floor before a huge slab of the ground was raised.
[Stone Wall]
Rubedo quickly grabbed the wall and ripped it from the ground. She briefly stopped her attack to check on Aureole's orders. "Rubedo, he's under Victim's debuff so he shouldn't be able to react in time. Just finish him off. " Aureole said right before Rubedo threw the stone wall at the boy.
"Megumi! " Yuji screamed as soon as he was able to take control of his body. For the first time in more than two weeks, he could now act, but unfortunately, he didn't have enough power to do much of anything. Yuji pulled his fist backward and tried to attack Ootoshi, but the other curses quickly intervened.
[Divergent F-]
Yuji found himself unable to move his hand. He slowly turned his head to the side where he saw Uka grabbing his hand. "The original host took over. Lady Aureole, we have to go fast, Sukuna could die at any moment now. " Uka said as she twisted her hand, breaking Yuji's right arm.
"Arggg! " Yuji screamed right before Rubedo threw her attack toward Megumi.
"Yuji?! " Megumi asked as he continued walking forward. Mahoraga, who was acting as Megumi's eyes, could clearly see the stone coming toward him. The shikigami let go of his master and ran towards it.
"Hm... oh yeah. He has a summoned creature. How careless of us. Rubedo... you'll have to attack again. " Aureole said. She knew by just looking that the simple physical attack Rubedo had unleashed was not going to do anything against the shikigami. It had more than enough power to kill the human on impact, but not against a level 80 creature.
Rubedo tilted her body forward before starting to slowly walk toward Megumi. "Megumi! Run! I'm fine. Get out of the domain! "Yuji quickly turned his head toward Megumi before screaming. The slab of stone reached Mahoraga who tanked the attack like a chad. Once it hit the shikigami, the stone broke into hundreds of pieces.
"You're back in control?! " Megumi asked. If that were true, his original mission was completed. With Sukuna defeated, Megumi believed that Gojo would be the only other contestant who could possibly win this madness. He quickly ordered Mahoraga to help him move again before slowly walking backward. "Yuji! I can't see. Tell me about the enemy! " Megumi screamed.
"Megumi! It's not just one enemy! You have four special-grade curses aiming to kill you. I'll be fine so you have to get out of here right away! " Yuji screamed as Rubedo began gaining some distance from the main group. She then began running toward the boy.
Now that Rubedo had distanced itself from the others, Megumi could finally feel her cursed energy output in a meaningful way. The lack of intensity and the quiet and vast amount of power brought back the image of Gargantua inside Megumi's mind. "Shit. It's another one of those?! " Megumi said as Mahoraga grabbed him and jumped back into the safe zone.
"Oh well... he was standing right next to it anyways. " Aureole said as she shook her head. The reason why Rubedo's attack was half-assed and her attempt to pursue Megumi was extremely slow was that Megumi was just a single meter away from complete safety. While inside that circle around the exit gate, there was no way for her to attack him, directly or indirectly. "Rubedo, stand guard in case he comes out. "
Megumi, who had no idea how the layer worked, continued moving backward. 'I have to find a way to surprise them and then get Yuji back. ' Megumi thought.
"Megumi! Stay still! They can't hurt you! " Yuji screamed. The main group was now just a couple of meters away from the circle while Rubedo was slowly making her way around the circle.
"What?! Are you sure?!" Megumi asked. He believed what Yuji said and knew that he could trust his judgment so he ordered Mahoraga to stop.
"Yes! They can't touch anyone near the exit. Leave the game, Megumi! "
"Not without you. " Megumi said.
"They're about to force me out of the game, Megumi. I'm fine. Ainzulo needs Sukuna alive so they won't harm me. Leave before something else happens! " Yuji pleaded.
Megumi looked down for a second before saying, "I can't. I have to help Gojo win the game. We still have a lot of time before -"
"Gojo is out of the fucking game! He lost all the way back in the 6th layer and Sukuna chased him out. There's no way to win this anymore! " Yuji screamed at the top of his lungs.
'Gojo lost?! ' Megumi thought as things finally made sense to him once again. The only issue out of place was why the 4th guardian was still alive, but he didn't have time to ask. 'Wait... if Gojo is out, then Ainz won? What happens now?! ' Megumi began thinking about the jujutsu world and what Ainz would most likely do.
"It's Lord Ainz Ooal Gown. " Uka said as she broke the already broken arm even further. "That's why I hate insects like this one. "
"Ootoshi, would you do us the honor? " Aureole said as Ootoshi began spinning Yuji above his head. "Don't miss. "
That was the final thing she said to them. Yuji quickly spun around like a sack of trash before being thrown on the back of a truck, or in this case, the exit gate. Megumi didn't even try to stop it. He heard Yuji's screams become more and more intense before seemingly disappearing.
"Alright then. The main problem has been solved. On to the next one. " Aureole said as she made her way to the edge of the circle. "Are you going to listen to your friend or are you going to be an idiot and try to face us even with the debuff on you?! "
"Lady Aureole, this idiot has already proved himself to lack intelligence since he decided to go against a Supreme Being in the first place. Of course, he's going to leave the safety of the circle and die a meaningless death. "Ootoshi said while laughing.
"Don't be too sure, Ootoshi. Look at him. He's scared. Insects like those usually follow their lower instincts. " Aureole said. Megumi slowly turned around and began walking toward the gate. "Ha ha ha. That's better. "
Both Ootoshi and Aureole began laughing and throwing insults at Megumi who had no other choice, but to flee. He was physically free from harm and could stay there as the game allowed and since no one would probably make it there, Megumi could just sit there and wait for the time out, but there was no need to waste his time. With no chance of winning, all he wanted to do with to be done with it. 'We failed. ' Megumi thought. The thought of the consequences of losing the game never entered his mind before this moment, he refused to entertain that idea, but now that it actually happened, Megumi realized that Ainz was now the defacto king of curses.
Ainz had proved himself more capable than Sukuna who would either be killed or ignored like an insect. 'He outplayed both curses and sorcerers. What is he going to do now? ' Megumi asked himself right before he passed through the gate.
Ainz's pov
"Too much... it took too much time. " Ainz said. He rose from his throne victorious just as he believed he would be. The fact that the game lasted for almost 15 hours was a small oversight on his part, but nothing that he couldn't just brush away as an acceptable miscalculation.
"If Angel hadn't disqualified all of those players in the second layer... would the game have continued? Hm..." Ainz said as his domain began to collapse. Now that the game was over, there was only one thing left to do.
The cursed energy that was used in the domain appeared in the throne room. It was like an Aurora Borealis floating in the sky. "Everything went according to fine. The only major problem was what happened to Sukuna. Breaking a binding vow was completely unexpected, but the result was predictable. He's probably going to die very soon and if he does I won't be able to gain more knowledge on cursed energy. " Ainz said as he extended his hand toward the cursed energy.
In a flash, all of the power he accumulated from the players entered his body. For someone like Ainz, who already had boundless cursed energy, it was nothing but a buff, a very good one though. "Sukuna can wait for a few moments. Time to get to claim the real reward and fulfill my vow with Yuki. " Ainz said before spreading his hands as wide as he could.
