Born as Gojo Satoru Cousin

Kasukabe: "Hit him, you stupid blindfold."

Choso: "Prove to us that you're more than just a handsome face."

Toge: "Salmon!"

Takaba: "If things get tough, I'll take you out!"

Miwa: "Win this battle! Gojo-san!"

Smiling confidently at them, Satoru said casually, "Got it!"

❀❀❀

The now-destroyed Shinjuku City, which has become the territory of demons: Makyo.

There were no civilians left in Shinjuku. Either they were evacuated or killed in the Culling Game.

In the remaining ruins of Shibuya, Satoru and Ijichi climbed a skyscraper from the inside and discussed Satoru's time in the Prison Realm.

"How do you know the time difference in the Prison Realm?" Ijichi asked curiously.

"Hm… It feels like being busy working. It's a contradictory feeling when a week just passes by and you'd never want to do it again. That's how it feels."

"I understand what you mean. Sounds terrifying."

Listening to Satoru's analogy, Ijichi somewhat understood as a corporate slave working in a black company.

While walking, Satoru asked what happened to the people who were on the B5F in Shibuya Station after the incident. Ijichi told him that the Cursed Spirit released by Kenjaku avoided the remnants on that floor and all survivors were rehabilitated and could return to their normal lives without any lasting effects from Unlimited Void.

"Utahime, grandpa." Satoru greeted as he saw the two waiting for him.

The two finally reached the rooftop where they met Utahime and Gakuganji Principal, who had finished preparing for the ritual.

❀❀❀

Meanwhile, in Shinjuku, Sukuna waited on top of another skyscraper with Uraume.

"Sukuna-sama. The battle is today, the 24th, but for the place and time…"

"We don't need to determine it beforehand."

"?"

"I already know."

"Understood."

Since Sukuna didn't say anything, Uraume completely trusted him.

"Kukuku..."

Sukuna sensed Satoru's immense Cursed Energy from afar.

❀❀❀

Moments earlier.

Ijichi took out several talismans and created a barrier around Satoru.

'I'm just a runaway. No, I don't even dare to do that. Someone else made me do it.'

'Even so, the strongest person in the world trusts me. I can't refuse him.'

'I will accept his trust even if it kills me!!!'

With a full heart, trying to live up to that strongest person's trust in him, Ijichi exerted all his abilities at this moment.

Meanwhile, Gakuganji Principal played music along with Utahime's incantations, signatures, and dances to elevate her technique into a ritual.

Utahime's innate technique, Solo Forbidden Area, amplifies the total Cursed Energy capacity and output of any Jujutsu Sorcerer she chooses within her range. In short, she's buffing Satoru.

Amidst all of that, Satoru stood casually, but his gaze was sharp. He used signatures and incantations that he usually didn't use.

"Nine points – Polarized Light – Crow and Declaration – Between Front and Back."

The action of increasing the output of Purple Cursed Energy to 200%.

"Hollow Purple: Purple."

*WHOOSH!*

A giant purple energy ball shot out at incredible speed, crossing skyscrapers and destroying the streets from Shibuya to Shinjuku.

"...!!!"

Sukuna, standing at the center of the attack, was too late to read the attack.

*BOOMMM!!!*

*RUMBLE!*

He tried to block it, but the skyscraper collapsed due to the power of the attack and both of his amplified arms were shattered. He descended to the street level and regenerated with the Reverse Cursed Technique.

*STEP!* *STEP!* *STEP!*

The sound of footsteps echoed so clearly in the deserted Shinjuku.

Brushing aside the rubble that buried him, Sukuna saw Satoru walking towards him.

"It seems you misunderstood, so let me straighten it out."

"You're the challenger."

Satoru mocked Sukuna by calling him the challenger in this strongest battle.

"You little bastard."

The mockery successfully annoyed Sukuna. From the beginning, he had decided to kill Satoru after fully reviving. Now was the time to carry out his words.

"Challenger? You seem quite happy to have given a surprise attack."

"Gojo Satoru! You're like a fish on a cutting board. Just a little more spirited than the others, a nameless fish."

"I'll start by getting rid of your scales."

Stretching his finger bones, Sukuna took his fighting stance.

"..."

Standing not far from Sukuna, Satoru calmly removed his outer robe, leaving his lighter black uniform to facilitate his movements. A small smile was etched on his face, but his eyes were filled with mockery.

"Then why is your face like that?"

"You want me to attack you slowly, right? Unfortunately, I've been doing special training. I can beat Megumi mercilessly."

"You failed to die with Yuji. I thought, I only need to think about Megumi after killing you."

The two strongest were ready to throw punches enveloped in Cursed Energy.

*WHOOSH!*

Sukuna stepped forward first, throwing a right kick powerful enough to shatter a thick wall. However, Satoru stopped the attack with Infinity, creating an absolute distance that made Sukuna's kick never actually touch him.

Before Sukuna could react further, Satoru prepared a counterpunch, but Sukuna quickly wrapped himself in Domain Amplification, neutralizing the attack.

*BAM!*

The two fighters then simultaneously threw their left hands at chest height, creating an energy blast that extended around them. However, each technique stopped the attack before anyone was injured.

Not losing momentum, Sukuna tried to follow up with a fast and powerful right uppercut.

*SWOOSH!*

But Satoru, with his incredible agility, suddenly lowered his body until it almost touched the ground, flying horizontally just outside the reach of Sukuna's attack.

*SHING!*

*BAM!*

Sukuna glanced down, only to see Satoru using Blue, to push him back with immense force. Sukuna slammed into a building hard, shattering its facade and sending dust flying into the air.

"Hm? Hmm…."

Before Sukuna could recover, Satoru chased after him and stepped on him, shattering the ground with each successive step in pursuit.

Sukuna, seemingly cornered, dodged by rolling and jumping back until he finally reached the bridge.

*CRASH!*

Satoru collapsed part of the bridge with one step, making his opponent's footing unstable. He floated in the air as Sukuna fell with the building.

*FWISH!*

Before touching the ground, he used Blue to send himself and Sukuna to another building.

Sukuna rose from the building's rubble, jumping away to the nearest rooftop before the ground beneath him collapsed further. With nimble movements, he dashed towards Satoru, who was still in the air. In seconds, he raised his hand, forming a finger gun, and activated Dismantle.

"Dismantle."

*SWOOSH!*

However, he didn't target Satoru directly. Instead, he aimed at the skyscraper behind his opponent. Dismantle precisely cut the building in half. The top half of the building began to collapse, falling towards Satoru from behind, creating a double threat to the strongest sorcerer.

*WHOOSH!*

At the same time, Sukuna jumped towards Satoru, delivering a punch amplified with Cursed Energy, trying to force his opponent into a defensive position.

*BAM!*

Satoru remained calm amidst the chaotic situation. With Infinity, he blocked Sukuna's punch, while half the skyscraper descended towards them. He negated the clash and caught Sukuna's fist, allowing them to touch and fly upwards, pulling them into the falling structure.

*SWISH!*

Sukuna tore the door from its hinges and threw it between them.

*BAM!* *BAM!* *BAM!*

Then, they both unleashed punches amplified with Cursed Energy, and their simultaneous attacks shattered the entire building as they hit the ground.

*WHOOSH!*

Satoru and Sukuna emerged from the massive rubble unscathed.

"Oh gosh… Is this something humans can do?! They're like humanoid nuclear bombs!"

Watching the battle on the big screen with Maki, Yuta, and the others, Nino, who was still new to the Jujutsu World, felt her worldview crumble.

It wasn't just her who was impressed, Higuruma and the Jujutsu Sorcerers who rose through the Culling Game were stunned watching the live broadcast scene.

'Is Eiji as strong as them?'

Nino remembered that the white-haired man on the screen had the same Special Grade ranking as her boyfriend. Didn't that mean Eiji was on their level?

Thinking about this, she couldn't help but feel proud to be the girlfriend of someone as strong as that.
