He had just experienced the worst thing ever. Burning yourself with the frenzied flame is the most painful thing you can experience. A brain shuts down at a certain level of agony but that cursed flame burns your soul, something that apparently surpasses that limit. He burned for a day or two but when he awoke in Farum Azula, he jumped a few times and walked into Maliketh's arena, wanting to be done with this curse world as fast as possible.
"Thou, who approacheth Destined Death. I will not have it stolen from me again." The beast clergy man runs at him in a sprint. The firegiant was hard enough for him to force a Mangekyo use, blinding him even more and he expects that Maliketh will turn him blind completely. He knows that he could train all his skills to the max and it would not matter, Maliketh has resistances and gravitational magic is as difficult to cast on a being as their power difference is and his enemy is literately death.
So, he maxed all he could, he knows that he can die here permanently, a scary thought, and walked into the arena. He can barely see the thing approach but his sense of peoples mana is enough for accurate tracing and so, he activates his Lightsaber. With the sound recognizable anywhere on his original planet, he sprints towards the black blade also.
When in range, he ducks low and slashes twice at the arms, almost cutting one in half, and then jumping upwards to avoid a claw. He lands on the things back and stabs his lightsaber into the back.
But he only got a few centimeters deep before an explosion of force launches him back, something lingering on his skin and decaying it. He can barely look upwards before Maliketh is in his space, the blade of death in his hand and gold-black armor gleaming in the sunlight. Kuru stretches his hand outwards and pushes a lot of gravitational force towards the shadow.
He can feel his cheek decaying as the blade is but a few centimeters away from his head but then his magic takes effect and the black blade is launched into a pillar of this large arena. The supporting infrastructure does not brake and Maliketh is thrown to it's left, cracking the floor with his landing. "Ah, fuck my ribs." Getting launched that fast was not fun, even his S+ VIT is not enough to spare him from pain, especially if the aspect of literal death had touched him. He looks at Maliketh, the beast having got up and his blade starting to emit black and red flame. "Uchikudaku." Then the right leg of the black blade is crushed under the force of his Mangekyo.
He cannot allow him to jump, risking getting hit by those slashes means immediate death via bisection. His eyes bleed again and the world starts to blend together in a white mess. Ranni is already setting up the ritual but he also knew that this world is not a game anymore and if he would wait any longer than people like Rykard's followers or some other group would take advantage of the power vacuum he created.
He guesses he has one use of his eyes left before he goes completely blind. He could have used the AK but pulling it out would have taken too much time to prevent a jump. 'Well, no time like the present.' But now he has, he deactivates his saber and pulls out his gun. "I cast gun, you mutt." And he aims towards where he can feel the magic gather in the clergy mans body, the head.
LEGEND SLAIN
"One last thing." He will go blind now but this, again, is worth it. "Kyūshū." His world turns white but his mana was barely spent so he does not fall over from exhaustion. The properties of the Mangekyo remain though, despite how high his VIT is, and he goes completely blind. "Ohh- shit." He turns around, looking everywhere but it stays white all over. "N-No matter, I'll have my vision back tomorrow."
Maliketh the Black Blade, Marika's Shadow absorbed!
2.000.000 Runes, ULTIMATE SKILL [The Rune of Death]
ULTIMATE SKILL [The Rune of Death]
Charges 1/1
Charge Time: 14 Days
No phases.
From the tattoo on your left hand, you pull out the Black Blade of Death, the weapon that is the Rune of death. While it is in your hand, you control black and red flames that represent death itself and can do anything you want them to be able to do in relation to death. Though, the longer you keep this active, the more your body decays.
"Nice." He 'looks' towards his left hand, or he guesses he does. "Less nice." He cannot even see the tattoo but he guesses it's a sketch of the little amulet that Maliketh had in his hand. He then fumbles around a bit before he finally remembers that he can sense the damn thing and touches the rune of death and unleashes it again.
He lays in the middle of what he guesses is a ring drawn in the two fingers blood, the ritual having just finished. "Is it over?" He asks into the white void.
He hears Ranni's voice echo throughout what he thinks is her tower, it's where Ranni told them they are now. "Yes, shall I perform the operation now?"
He nods and hopes she saw it. "Put those four hands to use and give me my fucking vision back!"
Then, he was guided to lie down onto some table and his eyes where held open. "Ranni." His breath is heavy, why is this scary? He had his eyes pierced through multiple times. "You need to remove my eyes and replace them with my clones." He thinks he flinched for a second at that and, in a surprising moment, a cold but oh-so warm hand grabs his.
He never liked the idea of surgery, especially regarding ones eyes but he calms slightly at her touch. 'She's in love with you, of course she would.' Yeah, he saw her mind the last time he saw her and she thinks of him as a god that has elevated her to his consort and will give her all she wants. Which isn't not true but he'd like for her to be less fanatic. Well, she still talks normally but sometimes having the ability to read minds gives a brand new light to a conversation.
"When it's over, I'll need to wear a blindfold for about a week." Her grip tightens before cold steel hits his cheek.
"I shall care for you my dear consort." Such warmth was not expected of a cold doll but he guesses he's quite the lucky guy. God, if his parents could see him now.
The next few minutes where not as bad as feeling his should burn but it was still enough for him to grunt in pain, a feat not common these days.
But eventually, he felt cloth being lain over what was just an empty socket a few minutes ago and a system message filled the darkness of his black vision.
Your Sharingan has evolved!
[Sharingan] Level 100/100
"Peoples lives don't end when they die. It ends when they loose faith."
-Itachi Uchiha
The Bloodline of The Uchiha Clan and now your own. Due to the immense trauma you have already experienced, you have awakened the first stage. You are the progenitor of the Uchiha in this land, so you gain special advantages. First you have both the Eye of Insight and the Eye of Hypnotism.
Stage 1: Sharingan, 1-3 Tomoe.
The Eye of Insight, your left, let's the user see chakra (Magic) even through walls. Though not as detailed as the Byakugan the user can still se irregularities in a persons chakra (Magic), enough to see mental influence. Your Sharingan in particular is special, more powerful than normal. You can see on a very detailed level, like Sasuke Uchiha, on a cellular one if you focus enough and, if extra Mana is given and the sharingan is evolved to stage 3, even to an atomic level. This eye let's you also copy and remember moves just by a glance and, with your Sharingan, you can even obtain the muscle memory. Speaking of which, this eye let's the user glance into a targets memory, given eye contact and even erase them.
The Eye of Hypnotism allows the user to use what is commonly know as 'Sharingan: Genjutsu'. Through eye contact the user can suggest actions and thoughts into a person, possibly even without them knowing. At high levels, even taking control over them completely. This illusive trance is commonly indicated by the sharingan pattern appearing in the targets eyes, though this is avoidable with another Genjutsu layered on the eyes. Lastly, there is the 'Prediction'. Many sharingan users seem to know what attacks happen when and even perform the opponents moves before they even do. While it may seem like seeing the future, it is actually not. The user copies the targets fighting style, moves and memories of the opponent and then uses them. Then, through careful observation made easier by the Sharingan, the attacks of the enemy can be accurately predicted.
Stage 2: Mangekyo/ Stage 3: Eternal Mangekyo
The Mangekyo sharingan is normally activated via extreme mental stress but you are the gamer, avoiding such costs. Under normal circumstances, you could only use two unique powers for each eye and the Susanoo but you are, again, the gamer, avoiding such limits. Though the consequences of Mangekyo usage still remain, heavy MP loss for both activation and usage partnered with over-time blindness will still come for you.
Abilities:
Susanoo (Unlocked): A pure and physical manifestation of your magical energy in the form of a humanoid and translucent beast. If mastered, the size and form is only limited by creativity and Mana.
[Right eye] Uchikudaku (Unlocked): Your unique Mangekyo ability. Manifested by your rage towards the world and it's unfairness, you can use immense crushing force to crush anything you desire. The field of control and power depends on mana spent.
[Left eye] Kyūshū (Unlocked): Your unique Mangekyo ability. Manifested by your willingness to learn, your gamer aspects and your belief in the philosophy of the Frenzied Flame, to return everything to one. You can absorb the anything and, if useful, traits or skills of that thing will be obtained. Depending on the power of the ability or trait, mana cost can rise or fall.
Amaterasu (Unlocked): The power to summon black flames that burn for seven days and seven nights and always burn their targets. They are summoned where the user is looking.
Kagutsutchi (Unlocked): The power to extinguish, control and shape the black flame of Amaterasu.
Tsukuyomi (Unlocked): A powerful Genjutsu that extends time to a great amount in a illusionary world depending on skill of the user. Any damage inflicted on the target will be felt like it was real and the user has complete control over this world of their creation.
Kamui (Unlocked): Kamui is both the ability to create and warp to a custom 'Kamui dimension' and the power to create a sucking wormhole anywhere in sight into that dimension.
Kotoamatsukami (Locked): The ability to completely control, manipulate and control a target thoughts without even them knowing. (Needs Shisui DNA)
You can no longer become blind from EMS use, also, the cost of Mangekyo abilities is greatly reduced.
He had been neglecting his Susanoo, forgetting that he even had it because he knows that it would blind him instantly to block the stronger attacks but now he did not need to worry about that. Though, he turns his head towards Ranni's mana signature, a bright flame he can sense in the back of his head. "Thank you, I could only trust your prowess and intelligence to understand what to do." And he knew she wouldn't do him harm because she seemingly pseudo-worshipped him.
What he did not expect, or sense coming, was a kiss. 'Christ almighty.'
"Now I fight as Hoarah Loux, warrior!" It took some light swordplay to cut the first Elden lord up with his Lightsaber to make him kill his- is it a stand?- Serosh thing and go full berserk.
Still blind but being able to sense well enough to know that the man is coming, he speaks in a calm voice. He does not need to worry about anybody in this world anymore, he is far above them all, he spent three million runes for his stats again and he thinks he can tank a nuke now. "Shut up, you're loud man." A use of gravitational magic and the man is launched to the right, crashing against the walls of the arena. "Fuck you." And ice spears pierce the head of the man, he could sense it just like he could Maliketh's.
He does not bother absorbing him and walks up the stairs into the Erdtree. Warmth of the burning flame surrounds him as he enters. He feels himself floating for a moment before his feet touch stone. He can feel the magic of Marika's prison and the magic in the woman/man her/himself. He removes his blindfold, it should've been around a week now. And indeed, he can see again. His sharingan is still active, he does not plan to deactivate it anytime soon, and he can see the inside of the Erdtree and the stone platform they now stand on.
There, floating in the air and hanging of a large rune arc, is Queen Marika the Eternal. "Uchikudaku." And then she/he was not. Her/He entire body was crushed into a ball the size of a balloon, chunks of stone and her/his hammer flying everywhere. "Get the fuck in here Elden Beast." As if it had hear him, the floor turned to mist and then into water that he can freely stand on while the surrounding area becomes a golden void, filled with phantoms of other Erdtrees.
The Elden Beast itself is a three story large prehistoric-looking thing with skin that reflects stars and a sword in one of it's two hands. It's head, a long finger-like thing that has only one indication of a face, a glowing golden ball. "Susanoo." And then a black skeletal ribcage surrounds him, ethereal with his mana. And then it's gained two arms and a head, which is more like a skull with a sharp chin and long bone spikes that make a crown on the top of it's head.
"Perfect Susanoo." With a level 100 EMS it is easy, he should be the best Sharingan user ever. And he can feel it as he floats into the air. The two legs are equally boney but the Susanoo does not gain skin, to his surprise. A long ethereal and flowing robe with shoulder armor and a rope as a belt. On that rope, that is as black and translucent as the rest of his manifestation, hang two normal skulls with proportional size and a gothic lantern.
Well, he can't call it anything else. "My Susanoo is the Grimm Reaper." Asif on command, a large scythe forms in it's hand. It is as normal as a scythe get's but it only serves to kill, why make it fancy when it is just to summon on a Susanoo? He knows he can do two things in this position now, control the Susanoo manually and basically become a titan-shifter or do something else in the construct while he commands it to do something.
He chooses the first and it pays off immediately when he side-steps a golden slash from the Elden Beast. An Elden Beast that he is now double the size of, or less, he can't see clearly from his position in the Reapers forehead. "Dude, you're outmatched." It doesn't seem to get that message as it fires golden projectiles that hit his armor and take half of a percent of his total mana. "I just want to move on." Tired with this world, with his revenge, with all the headaches he had to go through, he attacks.
His scythe was in the top left one moment, ready to strike, and in the bottom left the next. A large amount of water behind the beast is displaced and thrown into the air before the beast itself falls into two halves. "I feel so cool right now."
A de-summoning of his Susanoo, slowly though, as to not fall, and a shifting back to the stone platform later and he is at the end of his journey.
[Inheritor of the Frenzied Flame] Perk is activating!
Do you wish to burn the world?
Y/N
"That's the question isn't it?" He thinks about it, for two hours. He had gained immense power, for what goal? At first, it was for some philosophical excuse to have a tantrum that will kill everything but over time, as he got out of his 'emo-phase', he thinks that he doesn't need to. Yes, maybe the suffering outweighs the good of the world but burning one wont change that and he is not spending his life trying to burn them all. He does not have infinite time, nor does he want such a life.
He wants to be free from it all now, not free from consequence, that is impossible, but free to choose a life for himself. It would be what his family would have wanted. In that moment, a flash of his father, bleeding eye-sockets, flashes before his eyes and he sees the parallels between that and his time with the Mangekyo. Did they both not strive for power and pay when they chose to do something wrong with it? 'Dad sold to the wrong companies and he knew it and it lead to his death. Is this my choice?'
He is the Gamer, he can live a life of adventure and wonder with the people he loves, Melina and strangely Ranni flash before his eyes, so why care to burn it all away? He thinks that he had already not taken this Frenzied Flame goal seriously after he got together with Melina, she does not deserve a life together with a mass murderer. Yes, there is that too, the genocide. He just cant do that, there are still innocent people here and, while he had killed, it was always against combat ready opponents who are either not entirely sentient or hell-bent on killing him or any other Tarnished.
He'll live, he will live to another day. In the next world, he will do whatever he wants, free from any philosophical bullshit or revenge induced hysteria.
"And that's why I wont burn the world." He dangles his feet of the stone edge of the pillar. "I will be leaving the Elden Ring here for another Tarnished to claim it, or it will probably be one of the three demigods I let live."
He can see his two girlfriends, christ what a sentence, sit down next to him. "What is thine objective now?" Ranni asks.
Do you wish to travel to the next world?
All persons who you consider friends or more will accompany you.
Y/N
He smiles, that's a 'yes' on leaving. "If you still want to, we will leave now."
He knew they'd say yes. "Ah, ok. I don't know the specifics of this travel, so we may be apart at first. But you will know where to find me once we are there. Keep yourselves hidden at first until I arrive."
And he then clicked 'yes' after they both nodded. He promptly fell asleep.
His eyes open slowly to yellow light. "So, which one of the two are you right now?" A calm and smooth voice asks, an echo emerging. He looks up to see a man with white hair and a blindfold made of black and smooth fiber, a placated smile on his face.
'Where the fuck am I?' He knows he had forgotten something but the last thing he can remember was leaving the Lands Between- but he's sure that there's a gap of memory between then and now.
"I am Satoru Gojo and I will be your executioner." And then, memories flash back to him.
He finishes writing down his and his recently deceased grandfathers details before handing them to the desk lady. "There, that's all the paperwork we need from you." She tells him, filing away the papers. "Are you sure you're going to be okay?" She leans forward towards him.
He thinks, he was always close to his Grandfather but he had also always been a calm man, so he reasons that death happens often and that he should take the time to Mourne but move on after. He feels like he had done that once before but he can't remember exactly why or when.
So, he should stay strong, for his famil- grandfather. "Kurushimi Itadori?" He asks, but waits not for his answer. "I am Fushiguro from Jujutsu Tech. I'd like to have a word with you."
"Ah, I'm in JJK!" He interrupts his own flashback. "And it seems I've replaced Yuji since birth but have only now regained my memory!" He booms throughout the room.
Welcome to Jujutsu Kaisen!
You have replaced Yuji Itadori and so, have gained the following skills:
[Sukuna's Vessel] Level 1/100
You are a one-in-a-million occurrence, congratulations! You can talk with him or switch your body with him! Have fun!
[Cursed Energy] Level 1/100
Cursed Energy is an energy generated by the negative emotions of humans and can be manipulated by certain people. Through this energy, you can access your Domain Expansion, Cursed Technique and more!
Your Stats, some skills and your overall power is sealed in percentages. To unlock each seal you have two options:
Once per month, you can perform a 'Burst', where all seals are unlocked for an hour.
AND/OR
You can complete these main quests to gradually regain your power:
Main Quest 1:
-Claim all 20 Fingers
-Subjugate Ryomen Sukuna
Main Quest 2:
-Stop Kenjaku (Suguru Geto)
Main Quest 3:
- Copy any and all Cursed Techniques you find with your Sharingan
Main Quest 4:
-Defeat Saturo Gojo without help
"Oh, OH! That's nice!" His face then twists in a flinch. "Well, my power being sealed is not." He tries to stand up but his body is still sealed and he can feel the new energy he had just gotten being suppressed. But not his Mana. "Hey, Gojo, Is your Infinity active?" The man had been watching him in silence and his smile had just dispersed.
"I thought you said you where still Kurushimi?" He asks him as he stands up, his hand out of his pocket and ready to fight.
Kuru shakes his head with a smile. "Nope, I'm me." He says with a small smile.
Gojo tilts his head. "Then what's your goal? If I believe you, that is." He then regains his false smile, trying to navigate around the fact that his prisoner had just told him he knew one of his techniques, even though the boy was some civilian before.
Kuru nods, his face slowly regaining his usual neutral attitude. "Well, I've been on a long journey and plan to enjoy my life from now on. Oh, and I am searching for two people, heard of someone called Ranni or Melina?" Now that he knows where he is, as long as he still has his burst, he is the strongest in the verse. Well, purely because of his Sharingan and growth potential. In this world, he can just do what he wants, he is at peace with his past and can look towards the future, a future where he can do as he pleases, free from any moral obligations of others.
He wont kill innocents without a very good reason, otherwise, his current objectives are; Get back Ranni and Melina, learn all there is to learn in JJK, do all the quests and gather the Harem. Yup, he died as he lived, a virgin and now that his other two... girlfriends had told him that, and he quotes, 'They don't care as long as they get to have his time whenever they want'. He is still unsure of how to exactly 'gather' them, with his slight social anxiety and awkwardness but he has all the time and power in the world to figure it out.
But right now, he has to do two things, get into Jujutsu High and talk with Sukuna. "Yo Gojo, I already know about it all. I'm not going to explain or expect you to believe but I saw the future. I saw a future where I was someone else but it was enough to know a few secrets and now I have regained those memories." His vague lie will do for now. He reaches into his inventory from his bound hand and takes out his lightsaber, his thumb instantly pressing the activation button.
A red flash and a few spins later and he is free. "Heyheyhey!" And Gojo had taken that as a sign that he had been replaced with Sukuna and decided to put his hand on his face. The next instant he is flung against the back wall of this prison. "You don't want this Satoru Gojo."
The wall behind him had cracked but the small space meant he can't make any distance. "Hey System, can I die now?"
No, but reviving will weaken you.
He smiles and activates his Sharingan and can instantly see the blue energy surrounding the blindfolded man. And then he can also see some of that energy be concentrated and moved around in a small mold of the man.
You have copied a technique:
[Inherited Technique: Limitless] Level 1/100
The ability inherited by the Gojo clan. You can now manipulate the space around you with the help of cursed energy to an atomic level.
Current Techniques learnt:
-Limitless
"There we go." He sighs and activates his new power. He can feel his cursed energy move but it fails to do anything. "Huh, guess I need to learn a bit more. Hey, this should prove I'm not Sukuna, haven't learned to use Cursed Energy." He looks back up at Gojo from his hand.
"Or you could be lying." He counters without emoting. "But... dude, what is happening with your eyes?" His stance relaxes and he points towards Kuru's eyes.
"It's similar to your Six-eyes. Mine are called the Sharingan, I can copy any cursed technique I see and... I'm not telling you more." He explains before sliding down the wall behind him to sit down. "By the way, I accept you 'Suspension' of my death sentence and will attend Jujutsu High." He nonchalantly proclaims.
Gojo's smile becomes genuine again. "Under one more condition! If you win, you can copy any and all techniques you can see and if I win, you explain your eyes to me." He crouches down to Kuru's level.
Kuru looks up at the rooms ceiling. 'I know I'll be in trouble with the higher-ups if I just go around stealing family techniques, though I don't care what they think, it will still be annoying, so Gojo's deal sounds pretty good. I was planning on using my burst against Sukuna if plan A fails against him but there is nothing I can loose if I fight Sukuna in my mindscape, so I don't care that much.' He stands back up. "Where are we doing this?" And in that very moment, Gojo had already appeared in his face, knuckles ready and aimed at his chin. "Kamui." And then it passes through him. Kuru heaves a sigh of relief. "Woah, I thought I'd already lost."
His eyes had taken on their EMS state, the only difference between this one and his MS are the four spikes that protrude out of the outer ring and in between the longer spikes. "You can't hit me Gojo. Physically, that is. Not like your Infinity, this technique will make me intangible. A truly invincible state of being." He monologues, trying to seem overconfident but he had already won the match, not because of Kamui, no, he had cast Tsukuyomi.
Gojo had removed his blindfold and is looking around frantically. "Oh? Can your eyes see my mana? Interesting..." Kuru walks up to Gojo.
"Cursed Technique Lapse: Bl-" The next second Gojo is nailed on a simple wooden cross. "W-What? Is this your domain?" Gojo is starting to loose his calm, nothing had been going his way since the kid woke up.
Kuru chuckles. "No, but similar. I use a different kind of energy to Cursed Energy and so I am exempt from most of your rules. A good bonus is that none of you have counters to my techniques as a result." Kurushimi, wanting desperately to show off in front of one of his favorite characters, brakes the entire room they stand in, walls, floor, ceiling included into tiny pieces. What remains is a recreation of Rennala's second phase arena but the water and sky are red and black. "No." He stuffs his hands in his pocket. "I am using a technique called Tsukuyomi." He gains a wicked smile, he had never had this much fun in a fight, most of his opponents where always sub-human, not sentient or too strong to enjoy the fight but now he feels the joy of completely dominating somebody with your own pure strength.
"Ah, this is great- Stop that-" He snuffs the Imaginary technique Hollo: Purple that was building at the top of Gojo's right fingers with a wave of his hand. "- I'll just come out and say it, I consider myself more dangerous to you than Sukuna is. The only difference is what my intentions are." The strongest sorcerer in the world has his eyes wide open, searching for openings with his inherited powers. "Gojo, I'm going to make a deal with you here." He then walks up to the man, the water splashing below him. "I will show you all I can do but you keep it to yourself and communicate it to no one. In exchange, you train me on how to use everything regarding the Jujutsu world. Sound fair." He is loving this.
He doesn't know why but he is thrilled with how this is going. He likes a good fight, maybe even more than this right here, but dominating one opponent completely has it's own charm. 'I guess my time in the Lands Between really did change me more than I thought.'
Gojo's eyes are open wide but they now focus only on him. "Reverse Cursed Energy wont work if I kill your mind or soul." He then echoes the words 'Which I can do' into the mans mind via Sharingan: Genjutsu, making Saturo Gojo officially wary and intimidated. He then reaches for Gojo with his right hand. "Well?"
Gojo looks towards the hand before a slightly quivering smile graces his face. "How am I supposed to shake your hand?" He asks with a great deal of sass and fear.
"Just say yes or no. Oh, and don't try breaking this deal, I'll know." Now that was bullshit. He can see it in Gojo's memories if he told, yes, but then it will already have happened but he really needs the strongest sorcerer to know of his true power, so when Kuru asks, he can be left alone. Either to fight some enemy or to go do something the sorcerer community shouldn't find out about. It's basically insurance.
The blue-eyed man looks back up at Kuru and grits his teeth. "Ha, no." He then stabs Gojo in the stomach with his lightsaber. "Your probably thinking, 'why didn't Infinity trigger'? or 'How can't I move, it's just wood!?'. Well, I wont be telling you unless you accept." He then retracts the saber and stuffs it away again.
Gojo spits up some blood. "W-Was that a lightsaber?"
"Fuck you dude." Kuru's face, a deadpan, replies.
"I don't believe you on many parts of your story but I guess I accept." He probably caught his bluff and will tell on him later but then, if he shows off enough, the higher-ups will also be scared shitless of him. Another good thing. But then, Gojo's face turns serious again, sharp eyes and a slim mouth that opens to speak the following words; "Domain Expans-"
Or he tries to. "Absolutely not." Ten spears of ice stab into all parts of his body. "Why are you trying to use underhanded tricks man, so not like you- Ah, you've realized that you're outmatched right now." The realization comes quick.
"I don't care, I will show you regardless if you tell, though I recommend that you not." He then teleports a few feet back before saying two things. "Release. Burst." And then two things happen. One, Gojo is released of all chains and ice spears. Two, Kuru can feel his power instantly return to him. The world feels lighter and he can see it move around even slower than usual with the Sharingan. "So my senses have finally been affected by my stats. Was the world change some kind of System Update?"
He shrugs and sees Gojo run up to him. The approach would seem instant to an outsider but right now, Kurushimi is physically at 15 Sukuna fingers and his more esoteric powers are even beyond that, namely his Dojutsu. A left hook blocked here and an upper cut dodged there and his body is seemingly flowing in the wind. "I feel pretty awesome right now, Gojo. Is this how the strongest feels? I like it!" He dodges a left swipe and ducks down in a spin, kicking the six-eyes wielders feet away. Finishing the rotation, Kuru then kicks Gojo upwards while the man is still falling from getting his feet swept.
"I couldn't do that before... how strong is the average enemy or boss in Elden Ring?" He scratches his chin. "Well, I guess Maliketh could solo the verse as well as I could. Most bosses are just missing speed, not power." He shrugs. His senses warn him of an incoming attack and he does not need to look upwards to know what's coming, so he does not and instantly moves away from the Reversal Red technique that crashes into the water below them. "I missed you cast it, can you do it again?"
He had underestimated his sheer physical prowess, he can jump once, appear a few meters away and stop all his momentum in an instant. "That's my physical power. Well, as much as I needed to dodge that." He then channels some mana into his Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan and activates his Susanoo. He only uses the upper torso, head and the two arms, all in it's normal skeletal form.
Gojo then finally lands and is panting heavily. 'I actually hit 'em. I activated my Kamui for a short time to pass through his Infinity and release it after clipping into Gojo for about a centimeter, bypassing the strongest sorcerers defense.' Kuru flexes his arms outwards, his Susanoo following the movements and it's hand lands in the spot where Gojo once stood. The man had ran to the right as fast as he could and, if Kuru was still sealed, at about what he estimates is 10% of his power, he would not have seen him. But now he only holds eye contact with the sorcerer as his sixteen consecutive punches his the ribcage of his Susanoo.
"It's futile man and I have things to do, I've shown you enough for you to believe what I'm about to show you is real." Honestly, he just doesn't want to kill Gojo and unleashing any of his Ultimate skills would be too much and his Perfect Susanoo is also overkill that he'd rather spare himself. Now that he thinks about it, he probably could've done this without using his Burst but his impulsiveness still remains a flaw of his.
And then, he touches the forehead of Gojo, passing through his Susanoo, the man having been grabbed by the second arm of his mana construct. "Look at me." And the man does. Then, Kurushimi copies all of his memories of the Lands Between into Saturo Gojo, excluding any that mention his Meta knowledge. He does not care if Gojo knows about his gamer system, it would honestly just help the man teach him.
Then, Gojo teleports away after Kurushimi had released the Tsukuyomi.
Any lore inaccuracies are because I've only seen the anime, though religiously. Anything else will be scoured from the wiki.
