Choso and the girl stared at each other waiting for one of them when the girl suddenly felt a weight on her back as arms wrapped around her neck, "Woah, are these real angel wings?" the girl glanced back to see Yuji looking at her wings in interest. The Inverted Spear of Heaven appeared in his hand as he put it against the girl's neck, "Makes me wonder, are you an enemy or a friend? Choose wisely." Yuji whispered the last part with a close eye smile. "Depends, are any one of you an incarnated sorcerer?" a mouth appeared on the girl's cheek and counter asked surprising the teen, "Hm mind putting us down next to my comrade? We can discuss this in a more, calm manner." The boy suggested getting a nod as they landed in front of Choso and Takaba. "Why don't we start with introductions, names Yuji Itadori and this is my brother Choso." Yuji introduced while spinning his weapon around, "Fumihiko Takaba!!" Takaba followed striking a weird pose with a big grin. The three looked at the girl waiting for her, "Hana Kurusu." She said after some seconds, "And you can refer to me as Angel." The mouth followed making the male's raise an eyebrow.
"We're too exposed here so let's move to my temporary base." Hana said as she started floating away, Choso and Yuji shared a look before sighing as they followed her to a fancy hotel, entering a 7/11 on the way to get some supplies. After settling in a hotel room, they took sits around the room with Yuji taking on near a window as he took out a packet of cigarettes causing his brother to look at him confused, "You smoke?" "Recently started doing it with Shoko, the stress caused from Shibuya did a number on me and I had to relief it somehow. Plus I have Reverse Cursed Technique to heal any damage done to my lungs." The boy explained as he lit one and relaxed into his seat. "So, what's your goal in the Culling Game?" Choso asked focusing his attention to Hana, "Our goal is to purge all incarnated sorcerers. Most of them will suppress and destroy their vessel's consciousness when incarnating either intentionally or subconsciously. It's something that should not be happening, it goes against the laws of God." Angel explained.
"God?" Takaba asked confusedly, "A name given to my Creed for simplicity's sake, you can ignore it if you like. That's why I've chosen to coexist with Hana." "Then, can you not just tell them things about myself." Hana huffed in annoyance. "How are you going to do that? Does your cursed technique have anything to do with it?" Yuji asked with some curiosity. "My cursed technique can nullify other cursed techniques which can include seals and barrier techniques." Angel explained making Choso think, "Could your cursed technique return an incarnated player back to what they were like before the incarnation?" the cursed womb asked while drinking a glass of wine. "I can't say for sure it can't but 99% of the time, they will die. Incarnation is the fusion of a cursed object and living flesh. Naturally, separating either one from the other is difficult. Do you want to return someone to their original state?" the incarnated sorcerer asked.
"...My friend... Megumi... He was forced to eat a cursed object and his body was taken over by an incarnated sorcerer. Do you think you can help him?" Yuji asked after a few seconds of silence which caused Hana to freeze. "Megumi? As in Megumi Fushiguro?" the girl asked surprising the young sorcerer, "You know Megumi?" Yuji asked with a tilt of his head, "Yeah... You can say that." "Sorry but I don't think I can help with that." Angel said making the boy deflate in his seat. "Well I've told you my goal now it's your turn, what is your goal in the Culling Game?" the old sorcerer asked mainly at the two brothers. "We want to end the Culling Game and free the unwilling participates. We're fairly short handed so we need all the help we can get, mind lending us yours?" Choso looked at Hana calmly as she stayed silent still processing the information about Megumi while the incarnated sorcerer thought of what the cursed womb said. "I can but I have a condition." Angel stated raising some eyebrows. "You want use to help kill all the incarnated players?" Yuji asked confused, "Not particularly. I just need help with one, a player that I must slaughter no matter the cost. The Fallen, if we can kill this player, then I can guarantee you, my assistance." Angel corrected.
"Who's that? We can't really help without know who The Fallen's identity is." Choso said looking at Hana intensely. The old sorcerer sighed audibly and spoke a moment later, "... The Fallen is... It's the King of Curses, Ryomen Sukuna." This caused Choso to crush his glass in his hand and Yuji to release some of his cursed energy with an angered look on his face, "I'm guessing you've met him." Angel guessed judging from the two's reaction, "...He's the one that took over Megumi's body." Yuji said throwing his bud out the window and lit another cigarette. The group stayed silent for a while until Angel noticed something, "How odd. There's an astonishing number of people entering the colony right now." "You can see that?" Takabe questioned, "Not me. Kogane, show the number of players added in the last ten minutes." Kogane appeared and displayed the number for everyone to see shocking them, "807? Seriously?" Choso asked wondering where the sudden number of people came from

Tengen's barrier shattered as Kenjaki entered a white room where someone was waiting for him, "So that earthquake a few days back was you huh? Didn't expect you to be released this early." Kenjaku commented as he landed, Gojo leaned against a Bonsai tree with a grin, "What can I say, I was getting tired of the hotel room you gave me. I'd give you a 2 out of 5 stars, defiantly wouldn't recommend." The Tokyo teacher said waving his hand. "And I was so close." The old sorcerer chuckled displeased, "Hey it happens. Somethings are just not meant to happen." Gojo sad pushing himself off the tree, "A thousand years... A thousand fucking years of planning and this is the result I get? Years of waiting and gathering what was necessary for nothing." Kenjaku ranted with an annoyed sigh as the strongest slowly approached him, "Mhe should've waited another thousand years. But in the words of my dear Nanamin, Life is shit. And don't worry, this time I'll make sure to destroy you and Geto's body." Gojo chuckled as he stood face to face with the evil sorcerer.
The two sorcerers stared at each other, Gojo with a grin while his opponent kept a blank face, "Don't think I'm going down without a fight, Gojo Satoru." Kenjaku said as suddenly the white-haired man felt a sudden pressure upon him as the ground cracked from it. The old sorcerer then summoned a large cursed spirit with four arms but before it could attack, Gojo pointed his index and middle finger at the spirit and shot a red through it's head. Kenjaku quickly jumped back and sent out multiple centipedes which got caught in Gojo's infinity before getting crushed under, the strongest appeared next to his opponent and punched him in the face, sending him crashing into a wall. Kenjaku sent multiple cursed spirit at the younger sorcerer so he could recover and collected his thoughts, "Blue." Gojo said holding the blue orb in front as the cursed spirits were pulled and crushed into it while Kenjaku was pulled towards his opponent who backhanded him before shooting a red close range sending his flying through the barrier.
More curses spirits flew out of the hole at Gojo to distract him while Kenjaku healed and floated out of the hole as he shot straight at the young sorcerer as they engaged into a heated hand to hand fight. Gojo felt the sudden weight from earlier on him, momentarily stopping him giving the older sorcerer a chance to create a mini Uzumaki and shot it at the man while sending semi grade 1 cursed spirits as a follow up attack. "Hm so along with cursed manipulation, you have a gravity-based technique huh." Gojo said as the smoke cleared showing him unharmed much to the evil sorcerer's annoyance, "Tsk, I really hate this." Kenjaku replied in annoyance sending another mini Uzumaki blasted as he jumped back. "Worth a shot." The evil sorcerer said placing his hands together, "Domain Expansion: All Enveloping Garbhadhatu." He opened his domain as his opponent looked at the pillar of combined cursed spirits behind him while using his infinity to counter it's sure hit attack, "Interesting domain you have there, too bad it's a bit on the weak side." Gojo commented crossing middle finger on his index one, "Domain Expansion: Infinite Void."
In an instant, Kenjaku was caught withing the younger sorcerer's domain as his mind was flooded with endless information, Gojo looked at him opting to let his domain run for almost 5 minutes before deciding to end things. "Cursed technique lapse: Blue. Cursed Technique Reversal: Red." The teacher combined his two techniques before pointing his finger at the most likely brain-dead sorcerer, "Hollow Purple." And with that, the massive purple ball of death vaporized the top half of the old sorcerer's body. "Hope your soul can rest now, Geto." Gojo said before Kenjaku's lower body started to shake before all of the cursed spirits that Kenjaku had stored shot out and attacked Gojo who smiled and stretched.

"Kenjaku maybe planning for cursed spirits to conduct a one-sided massacre of non-sorcerers. If the cursed energy of the Culling Game players isn't enough to fill the colonies, it could provide insurance." Angel said as the group ran down the stairs, when they got to the ground floor a flashbang was thrown in front of them but Yuji quickly kicked it away as he took cover. When it exploded, soldiers stormed into the room and pointed their guns at the sorcerers who quickly took cover as bullets rained down on them. "Looks these guys are our unwanted guests." Choso said glancing at the fully armored men, after a few minutes they had incapacitated all the soldiers and kept one conscious to interrogate him. "So they're researching how to reach energy self-sufficiency by having their citizens produce their own energy. So Kenjaku used the prospect of a new energy source to bait an army of non-sorcerers into the colony and sacrifice them to the cursed spirits." The cursed womb scratched his chin as Yuji knocked the soldier out since they had gathered all they needed.
"The deaths of many people will manifest enough cursed energy to fill the colonies. That will conclude the preparation before merging with the humans of this country. Kenjaku has a forked tongue that it's likely that the militaries from many different countries were dragged in to add to each colony." Angel commented in wonder, "Let's save them." Yuji said fixing his sunglasses and stretching his arms. "Makes sense, the preparation will be complete if we just ignore them. Master Tengen sand everyone in this country will be mashed into dango." Choso nodded supporting the idea, "No. In Tokyo colonies 1 and 2, fifty sorcerers have already died in combat. Here in Tokyo colony 1, there's already enough cursed energy." Angel said but Yuji stayed indifferent. "So what?" "I'm telling you it's pointless. Whether or not you save the soldiers from the cursed spirits, the result won't change." Angel reasoned but still didn't change the boy's mind, "So... What?" Yuji asked again, "Hana and I coexist together. Her risks are my risks. Don't drag her into pointless battles but we weren't allies or anything in the first place, so we can do it ourselves." Angel said sternly only for Yuji to look at Hana blankly before clicking his tongue, "And you call yourself an angel, what fucking bullshit." Yuji said before walking away with Choso and Takaba soon following after.
The group of three ran around the area saving any soldiers they could, they heard a noise in an alleyway and walked in it only to see Hana saving a soldier before descending in front of the group, "Have something to say?" Hana asked Yuji who kept a stoic look and lit a cigarette before turning around and walking away, "Good job." He complimented which made the girl pout and whine a bit as they followed him and continued saving the soldiers. Yuji caught a certain scent and smile as he told the group to follow him, the young sorcerer jumped up building to building until he landed on a specific one where a certain someone was waiting. "Hey strong girl." He greeted with a smile clearly sensing the new strength the girl had, "Hey weapons boy." Maki replied with an eyeroll fully turning to the first year, "Where you get the Soul Splitting Katana?" Yuji asked his eyes glancing at the weapon strapped to her hip with curiosity since they original was destroyed and he never gave her a copy of it.
"It's a long story." The second year replied, the young man narrowed his eyes and looked at the sword using his cursed technique to analyze it, he didn't know if it was his eyes playing tricks on him or what but he swore that he saw Mai standing next to her sister looking at him with a smile before mouthing something. She disappeared as Yuji got closer to the second year before he pulled her into a hug, "W-what are you doing?" she stuttered glancing up to see the boy smiling at her, "Don't question it." He replied making the girl sigh in annoyance but a small smile crept onto her face as she hid it by snuggling into Yuji's chest. They stayed like that for a while until the others arrived. "Alright good news. Kenjaku tried to capture master Tengen but the blind bastard stopped him and managed to end the creep." Maki announced as she parted from the boy, "Good, then the merger is officially stopped." Yuji said sighing in relief, "Truth but we still have to deal with the Culling Game problem and the soldiers." Choso reminded his brother who grumbled something.
"So we have 3 problems to deal with, entering and exiting colonies; outside communication and withdrawing from the Culling Game. Let's solve these problems by adding rules that can counteract them." Yuji suggested making the group nod, "Problem 1 and 2, the rules dealing with people and electrical signals entering and exiting colonies. Right now, players can't freely enter or exit a colony." Maki said as she rested her hand on her weapon. "I can." "Does it work on other people too?" Maki looked at Hana but Angel answered, "That would be hard. Extinguishing a barrier technique with my cursed techniques amounts to extinguishing the foundation of the barrier. Without knowing where the colony's foundation is only Hana and I can move through the colony's barrier." "Of course, it couldn't be that easy huh. Anyways regarding 1 and 2, the Culling Game's rules never explicitly forbade players or electrical signals from going in or out." Maki rubbed the back of her neck thinking.
"So even if we add a rule to allow entry and exit from the colonies, we might still get repelled by the barrier because of the barriers' rules." Hana said making everyone nod in agreement. "Wait, can't we use the Inverted Spear of Heaven to go from barrier to barrier? Yuji asked wondering, "Inverted Spear of Heaven?" Angel asked curiously making the boy summon said weapon, "It follows the same properties as your cursed technique, if I'm right then we can use it to pass through colonies like Hana." Yuji explained. "It might work but let's put it asides for now. Let's deal with problem 4, let's start with allowing players to withdraw from the Culling Game." Maki stated as Yuji summoned Kogane to add the rule since he was the current holder of everyone's points which added up to about 360. "Kogane, add a new rule, players may withdraw from the Culling Game." The first year stated which made the shikigami shake, "Rejected. This rule conflicts with rule 7." "Hm do you have any suggestion along the lines of the rule I want to add?" Yuji asked again which made the shikigami stay silent for a moment.
"A player may withdraw from the Culling Game by inviting a new player from outside the colony as a substitute and spending 100 points. Is this acceptable?" Kogane asked which made Choso shake his head, "If it's just a substitution, then there will be no change in the number of players but with that change to the rules, at least 20 players will have to die for those 100 points. It's more incompatible with the long-lasting effect of the Culling Game in rule 7." He countered making the shikigami go silent again. "A player may withdraw from the Culling Game by inviting a new player from outside the colony as a substitute and spending 100 points. Is this acceptable?" Kogane asked again making Yuji narrow his eyes. "How about removing the substitute part and reducing the number of points needed to 20." He suggested making the shikigami shake again, "Oi the Kenjaku is dead meaning the Culling Game has no game master anymore so what's the point of trying to deny it." Yuji reasoned. "... Approved. A player has added a rule to the Culling Game! Rule 11, a player may withdraw from the Culling Game by spending 20 points!" Kogane announced making the group sigh in relief.
"A player has added a rule! Rule 12, players may enter and exit across colony borders!" Kogane announced moments later surprising the group. "What the- who else had 100 points!?" Takaba shouted as the group also wondered. "That would be me." A bone chilling voice said above the group, when they looked, they saw Sukuna sitting on a building with a grin before putting his hands together, "Nue." Unlike the usual shikigami, this one was massive shocking the group. A few seconds later it released multiple strikes of lighting around the area, the king's grin faded as Hana appeared above him with an enraged look, "Jacob's ladder!!" she shouted as a sigil appeared in the sky before shooting a strong beam of light at Sukuna who suffered a lot of damage. "Give Megumi back!!" the girl shouted at he slowly got up as his tattoos faded away, "W-what? Where am I? What happened?" Megumi said confused which made the girl cry as she landed in front of the boy and hugged him. Sukuna grinned as his tattoos returned before his head enlarged and he took a bite of the girl's shoulder, tearing her arm off.
He chuckled before throwing the girl off the building, "Sukuna!!!" Yuji shouted as he crashed into the man, making them fly down to the streets. The teen jumped to his feet and threw a couple shuriken at the man as they exploded near him causing a smoke screen, Yuji used it to summon Playful Cloud and shot at the man again but he was stopped when a cut appeared on his chest. The king used multiple dismantles to cut the boy apart but to his surprise the cuts weren't deep, tanking through the pain Yuji shot at Sukuna and strikes him into a wall. "Damn you, Megumi Fushiguro." Sukuna cursed knowing the owner of the body was affecting his cursed technique. The teen healed and cracked his neck, "Don't hold back, I doubt that he'll die." Yuji said glancing at Maki who nodded before she appeared next to the man and grabbed his arm that was about to attack her as she threw him into a web of metal strings that Yuji pulled to tie the evil sorcerer but he easily broke out of it. Although that gave Maki a chance to kick the king away.
"Seeing Megumi's body fighting this well kinda creeps me out. We're speeding things up." Maki said before the three engaged into a high-speed hand to hand fight, thanks to Yuji's cursed reinforcement and Maki's new durability, they were able to take the king's attack while also dishing out their own. They landed on a highway and gained some distance between them, they noticed Uraume standing at the far as she got an attack ready, "Maximum Output: Dead Calm." A strong wave of ice rushed the two sorcerers as Yuji quickly grabbed his companion and put-up a two-layer Rho Aias as the attack hit. "I apologize, my entrance ended up being quite intrusive. Please forgive me." The girl said making her master chuckle, "You're forgiven. Is the bath ready?" Sukuna asked getting a nod of confirmation. The two evil sorcerers heard a rumble as Yuji and Maki broke out of the ice, the girl with some heavy injuries while the boy was healing his. "Knew that wouldn't put you down easily." Sukuna said running his hand through his hair. "Shall I kill them?" Uraume asked getting ready to attack.
"No. I still want to confirm something." The king said focusing on Yuji before grinning widely as he balled his firsts and put his hands up in front of him, his cursed energy spiking, "With this treasure, I summon, Divine General Mahoraga." Sukuna called out as a large muscular, humanoid shikigami formed in front of him. It has four winds protruding from its eye sockets and a tail-like appendage extending from the back of its head and a large eight-handled wheel above its head, Sukuna then summoned Nue as he and his servant hoped on and flew and hovered in the sky. "Maki... Get out of here." Yuji said his sunglasses shining red, "What? I can still fight." Maki argued but a look from the boy shut her up, "No, you're injured and this thing isn't something to take lightly... Regroup with the others and get as far away as you can." The boy said summoning his Soul Splitting Katana. Maki bite her lip in frustration and reluctantly nodded as she turned around to leave, "...Hey. I'm not sure if I'll make it out alive... If I don't come back... Know that I love you." Yuji said giving the girl his signature smile.
The girl looked at him with shock as her eyes slightly watered, "...You better stay alive, Yuji." She said before running away, in a split second Mahoraga appeared in front of the boy as a sword shot out of its right hand which it used to slash at Yuji who blocked with his katana grunting at the weight the attack had. "Nice sword." The sorcerer complimented before said sword glowed white as it cut through his weapon like butter, luckily enough he was able to dodge last second. Jumping back, he shot the remainder of his weapon at his opponent as it exploded burning some skin off although the shikigami followed up by blitzing the boy and punching him through multiple buildings, Yuji coughed out blood as he recovered and threw some shuriken at the approaching monster who swatted them away but the boy had wires attacked to them which he used to pull the projectiles behind Mahoraga as they exploded. Some part of its tail off but it didn't stop the shikigami from grabbing Yuji's face and slammed him into the road multiple times before throwing him through a couple more buildings, Mohoraga appeared above him and did a downward slash to cut the boy in half, "Trace on!" in a flash the Sword of Extermination appeared on his right hand which he used to block the beast's attack.
"Thanks for the weapon!" Yuji shouted as he summoned a mini-Rho Aias in his other hand to block the jap the monster sent which causing him to fly back, Mahoraga roared as it attacked the boy with his sword which he managed to dodge as he summoned the Soul Splitting Katana and cut its right arm off. "That takes care of the sword." He thought before blocking a kick from the shikigami before detonating his katana which made the shikigami slide back, the boy summoned his black chain and wrapped it around the monster's body but it roared again releasing a strong shockwave and blasted him away. Before he could go far, he felt something wrapping around torso, looking down he saw his chain which Mahoraga had the other end in his hand, "Well this backfired." Yuji said before he was pulled towards the shikigami as it gave him an unforgettable kick to the side of the head that knocked him out briefly. Using the same foot, it grabbed the sorcerer's hair with its toes and slamming into the ground, the shikigami stomped his head further into the ground until the chain it was still holding exploded momentarily stopping the beast giving the boy a chance to stab a tanto through its foot and cutting it in two before stabbing the weapon into its ankle as it exploded, blowing the foot clean off.
Yuji rolled back and summoned Playful Cloud and sent an attack at the shikigami but its fist met the staff half way, this exchanged continued as they got faster and stronger, "How the fuck is this thing keeping up!? It's missing an arm and leg for godsakes!" Yuji thought as his eyes darted from area to area where the monster's punches were aimed at, it were times like these he thanked Kami for having Mind's Eye. A section of the staff snapped but before it could go flying, Yuji grabbed it and stabbed Mahoraga's arm as it blows off its forearm. The sorcerer spun and reinforced the remaining staff with cursed energy and slammed it into the jaw of the shikigami while the section exploded, Yuji quickly jumped onto Mahoraga and forced the last section down its throat, "Enjoy the meal!" he shouted as the section exploded blowing the shikigami's chest and stomach open while shooting the sorcerer into the sky. The teen looked down at it to see the wheel on its head spin and click as it healed completely, "Just my fucking luck." He cussed before summoning a bow and shot three arrows which scorched the shikigami's skin.
Mahoraga shot up at the boy but was caught in a web of strings which slightly cut its skin, the sorcerer made another Soul Splitting Katana and used his falling momentum to perform a downward slash which the Shikigami blocked with its forearm but unlike last time, the katana only went halfway before stopping surprising Yuji. Before Mahoraga could attack, the katana exploded but again to the boy's surprise the explosion didn't do as much damage as before. The wheel on the shikigami's head spined and clicked again before it kicked Yuji away who slid to his feet and look at his opponent with narrow eyes, "Something is fishy here, with each spin my attacks do less damage. Does it have anything to do with it's ability?" the sorcerer wondered as he summoned Playful Cloud and went into another heated exchange which he was slowly losing. "Increased defense? No, no matter how high it's defense is, the Soul Splitting Katana would be able to cut through it with ease. Hm it's as if its getting used to my attacks with time... As if it's adapting with each attack. Is that your ability, you fucking monster? Adaptability?" Yuji looked at the shikigami in wonder before setting his staff off and using the explosion to blow himself away.
"Well if that's the case, let's see how far your adaptability can go Mahoraga!!" Yuji shouted putting his hands in his domain's hand seal, "Domain Expansion: Unlimited Blade Works!" the sorcerer expanded his domain for 1 mile as each and every weapon created from the domain started floated into the sky before they all started flying at the shikigami exploding at impact. Yuji took a step back as he saw Mahoraga slowly walking through the explosions, getting destroyed and healing in an instant, he noticed as the assault continued the explosions were starting to take less and less effect which caused the boy to start panicking. At this point the boy started giving up finding no solution to defeat this absolute monster when a thought slapped him in his face, "Maximum Technique." He remembered the explanation Kenjaku gave him as seeing no other choice he decided to take a gamble. "What is the panicle of my cursed technique? The basic concept of my technique is copy and recreating a weapon I've seen, in simple terms I'm a forger who takes other's designs and makes imitations of the original. Until now I've only taken and taken, a simply thief... But I've never thought about creating instead of taking, never took the time to think of my own designs of my own original weapon... What if that is my panicle? What if creation is what I need?"
Yuji noticed that his weapons were running out and Mahoraga was getting closer, he sighed before giving a crazed smile as his right eye started leaking blood, "Why am I hesitating!? It'd do or die right Mahoraga!? It'd either you die, I die or we both die!" Yuji laughed as more weapons were created within his domain and continued flying at the shikigami to stall time. "Problem is I don't have anything to craft a weapon with except... The weapons I've already copied." Around the sorcerer appeared a copy of every weapon he's seen throughout his sorcerer journey, the weapons glowed white before shattering into white particles, "Craft a weapon design in your mind and forge it using the remanence around me." The particles slowly started flowing in front of the boy as they combined forming projection of a katana. "Good, the design is set and now I have to fill and strengthen it... Using negative cursed energy to do it doesn't show my originality and using positive cursed energy will just end up making blow up in my face, figuratively and literally. Hm why not use both negative and positive? I originally thought that the reason my weapons exploded when I added positive energy was because positive and negative doesn't mix but I was proven wrong by Gojo sensei's Hollow Purple. What if the reason it exploded was because the ratio was off? What if all I needed to do was add the same amount of negative and positive energy into my weapons in order for it to work and coexist in harmony? Hey it's worth a shot, the worse that could happen is me dying." The boy theorized as two copies of the katana he made manifested on each of it's side but unlike the projection, one was made out of pure negative cursed energy while the other was made out of pure positive cursed energy.
Taking a deep breath, he slowly started combining the two forces to complete his creation, deep in focus the sorcerer didn't notice his domain vanish and the shikigami that was ready to attack but before it could its arms and legs were cut into pieces. Mahoraga glanced at the person who did this which was his summoner Sukuna who was looking at Yuji with curiosity, anticipation and excitement, waiting to see what the boy was truly made off, "Gradation Air..." Yuji said as he finished mixing the positive and negative energies turning the projection purple, the wind around him picked up and his cursed energy spiked as he held the handle of the katana, "...Maximum..." slowly the projection took solid shape as it's blade was of a majestic midnight purple while the handle and hand guard was a mixture of red, blue and white, "...INYO." The boy gave his first creation a name as he swung it to the side causing a shockwave that destroyed multiple buildings that direction.
Mahoraga roared as he healed and rushed Yuji but in a swift movement, the teen cut all its limps off causing the shikigami to fall face first to the ground, "Tell me Mahoraga... Can you survive a nuke?" Yuji asked almost psychotic, his positive and negative hormones clashing with each other in his brain for dominance. The sorcerer stabbed his sword into the beast pinning it to the ground as it roared to get free, "Inyo...Enchain." Yuji commended as the katana's handle flew off and expanded forming a large dark dome around the shikigami, the dome had seven layers which were closely packed together and several black chains wrapped around each layer. "Dragon Scale. Hylian. Absorb. 1000 Mountains." Yuji chanted as the dome turned foggy and the layers became thicker. "Shatter and Destroy, Inyo." The teen said calmly as the blade shinned brightly and true to his word, an almost atomic bomb like explosion happened that caused a mini earthquake to occur as the dome withstood the damage well, although slowly the layers started to shatter one by one. But thanks to his reinforcement chants, the dome held up until the explosion dyed down which revealed nothing but ashes of the divine general.
The dome dropped as Yuji fell to his knee coughing out blood while also bleeding from his nose and eye, "Boy... Are you a descended of Futsunushi?" Sukuna asked, still standing of Nue, "Yeah... What of it old man?" Yuji managed to wheeze out causing the king of curses to grin murderously. "Excellent! Marvelous! With you here, I can finally finish that amazing fight I had with Futsunushi! Hahahahaha, come Yuji Itadori! Let us dance until there's nothing left!!" Sukuna shouted before bolting towards the boy who was too tired to defend himself but before he could reach him, someone stopped the evil sorcerer midway, "Hey now, why're you leaving me out of the fun?" Gojo asked with his signature smirk. "Ah so you must be Satoru Gojo." Sukuna said matching the teachers grin, "You bet your ass I am. And if you want to get to the runt you have to go through me first." Gojo said glancing back at his downed student.
"Is that so? Sound interesting." The king said ready to attack when Gojo raised his hand to stop him, "Hold up, not now. Why don't we have our little date on the 24th of December?" the teacher suggested making the king think. "I guess I can agree to that, the brat is still too weak to fight me fully so use this time to grow him and make him stronger. That is after I kill you." Sukuna said with a grin as he jumped back onto Nue, "Pfft your mistaken, Sukuna. You won't have a chance to fight my student because, I will win." Gojo stated as the evil sorcerer flew away.
A/N: Welp those who've seen the 249 leaks, who would've guessed I gave Yuta's domain to our favorite boy, it's gonna be interesting when I introduce it here. But that asides I'm going to take a break from the fic for a couple of days to deal with college stuff so apologizes for that.
