Chapter 37: Shibuya: VS Itadori
Third Person P.O.V.
"...there's not enough happiness in the world for everyone."
*Boom*
Megumi explodes forward, in a split second disappearing and reappearing in front of Itadori and Choso, one hand grabs each of their faces and then throws them forward with an earth-shattering force.
The two are shot like cannonballs, breaking the rails of the footbridge and hitting the ground, leaving a long scar on the asphalt as their bodies slide uncontrollably.
Megumi jumps high in the air, high enough to calmly look down on them as they recover their bearings.
"Eat the damn fingers, Itadori!" He shouts before kicking the air and propelling himself downwards
Itadori looks up to the incoming Megumi as he still awkwardly holds Sukuna's fingers in his hands.
Mercilessly, Megumi spins to deliver an axe kick on Itadori's head.
Itadori stumbles back, half by luck and half by reflex. Megumi's heels hit the ground, creating a small crater. He doesn't have much time to press his attacks on Itadori because discs of blood fly to his back, making him jump like a pole vault athlete.
Megumi's body is falling upside down when he looks back at Itadori from the corner of his eyes "Didn't I tell you that you need to protect your happiness? Do you really need to see it for yourself? Receive this trauma then..."
Then while still upside down, Megumi disappears even without anywhere to use as leverage to kick. He moves at incredible speeds, going straight at Choso, reeking with bloodlust.
"NO!!" Itadori shouts, but he is too far.
Megumi dodges another of Choso's attacks and reaches her neck with his hand, squeezing it with an iron grip.
"Protagonists receive a power-up through rage, right?" A sharp smile adorns his features as he forces her down, ready to snap her neck.
Now Itadori reacts.
He hurriedly throws the fingers in his mouth as he runs at the two as fast as he can. He punches Megumi away from his sister, but the young sorcerer blocks the attack with a hand and jumps away.
"..." While the battle is paused, Megumi looks at his hand "That's some good Punch... Having so much Cursed Energy is really a cheat." He comments. He kind of felt that.
The three circle each other "It seems you trained your Cursed Energy Manipulation..." Megumi comments "You must have learned from your ancient mom. What do you think Sukuna? How long do you think he would take to reach your level?"
"Never." Sukuna answers immediately, without a hint of hesitation
"Aah c'mon... With your cursed energy and your information being imprinted on his body, his potential is close to yours at least. I would say a year and he would become a respectable Special Grade." Megumi argues with a casual smile while still being circled by the sibling duo
Sukuna scoffs "So what? His mentality is weak... He will be weak forever. He will never reach this so-called potential because he will have an early death because he is weak."
"Damn, you are a hater." Megumi chuckles.
Itadori and Choso are using a common 2v1 tactic, with one always going to the blindspot. Megumi simply smiles mockingly and turns completely to Choso.
Normally one would try to keep his two enemies on each side and move a little backward so that he would have a clear vision of them. But Megumi simply turned his back to Itadori and had his eyes only on Choso.
"If I have to look at someone, let it be the woman." He says
Immediately after that Choso attacks him with blood discs. Megumi sidesteps and advances in her direction, arriving in front of her immediately
"Not using Piercing Blood because Itadori is right behind me?" He asks with mirth.
Megumi is a master of the Reverse Jumping Technique. He focuses on Choso because she is the only one with long-range means to attack, keeping Itadori at his back also forces her to be careful with her attacks and...
Megumi punches Choso and immediately grabs her clothes and swings her to his back.
*Bam*
Choso and Itadori's bodies collide against each other. His surprise attack failing.
...and he can easily keep track of Itadori's movements because of his overwhelming amount of Cursed Energy.
Cursed Energy is not so tame that someone can contain or mask it... Even Megumi needs cheats and a cursed energy of a different nature to be able to do that.
Itadori could've very well been a bright billboard sign that announced when he was going to attack.
Megumi kicks the two, sending them flying together. Now they are in his line of sight. As the two roll on the ground, they notice the imminent danger and move away quickly, just in time to see Megumi stomping where they are, creating huge cracks in the streets.
"Let's speed things up, shall we?"
The three then engage in close-quarters combat, Itadori and Choso release a flurry of attacks on Megumi as the Young sorcerer blocks them very efficiently. Only using one hand for each opponent.
He turns his body to make his enemies dance around him. His forearm blocks a punch from Choso, and he spins his forearm to take off her balance. He raises his leg to block a kick from Itadori with his shin.
Surprising him, Itadori doesn't stop... That kick was only the first of a triple-kick combo. *Bam* *Bam* *Bam*. But Megumi blocks all of them, each time raising his leg a little more.
Till he blocked the last one with the sole of his feet, which he immediately brings down after, stomping Itadori's leg on the ground. When the pink-haired teen was forced down because of that, he exposed his chin and Megumi had no problem giving it an uppercut.
*Pow* Itadori was sent flying, hitting a wall and disappearing inside a building.
Now alone with Choso, Megumi turns to her with a face-splitting grin. The half-curse hastily claps her hand to attack him with Piercing Blood. The tip of her finger was just some centimeters away from Megumi's face.
*Swish* But he was still able to dodge it by lowering himself to the ground.
'Observation Haki is such bullshit... And I don't even have Future Sight yet.' He thinks as his hands touch the ground, darkness spreading from it.
The darkness reaches Choso's feet, making her sink into it, she loses balance and can't redirect her attack to cut Megumi.
*Pow* And he uppercuts on her too. Equally sending her flying to a building.
Megumi calmly rolls his shoulder... He already has a good idea of where their abilities are. They are good but... "noobs". That would be the term that he would use.
Choso and Itadori have a lot of potential, he laughs a little as he thinks this, but it's too early for them to fight him. No Domain Expansion, no Reverse Cursed Technique... They will never win.
"Oy Sukuna, if I use my Technique here, with you watching... Would it be considered 'revealing my hand' to you and would it power me up when we fight later?" He casually asks as he waits for his opponents to come back to him
"Hmm, a good question... Normally one explains the technique before or during the fight. It was always unclear how strong the technique gets when you 'reveal your hand'. Some say it depends on how critical and important the information is... So you can deduce it is much more about 'intention' than any formality. So maybe it would work even if we are not fighting..." Sukuna says in Megumi's mind. Then he adds with a smirking tone "Why don't you try?"
"Aha~ Smartass." Megumi accuses "I don't need to use it against those guys, but I'm a Shikigami user." He says casually
"...a shikigami user?" Things are not matching to Sukuna.
"Oh, here they come~" Megumi smiles merrily.
He was pinpointing Itadori's location, if he tried to run he would be very disappointed with the protagonist of this world... So disappointed that he would first go for Choso, destroy all of her limbs, and then pursue Itadori and show her mangled body to him, to try to give him a power-up.
But it appears that is an unnecessary concern.
"Are you getting used to the increase in cursed energy already?" He turns to Itadori and once again fights with him in close quarters.
Normally one would not be able to read Itadori's attacks because he has simply too much cursed energy for someone to read the flow, but with Observation Haki Megumi can slap away his attacks before they gain momentum and deliver his own combo.
Arm, shoulder, ribs, solar plexus, throat, face, arm, solar plexus, face, face, face, face, thigh, stomach, knee, face, face, face, chest, face, face, stomach, face...
Even for just a little time, because he ended up training alone, Megumi was trained by Gojo, the CEO of throwing hands. So he knows what he is doing.
Each time Itadori shows any signs of moving Megumi has already smacked him one or two times to break his momentum.
"Tough bastard~" Megumi smiles seeing Itadori eat his attacks "Should I start getting more serious?" He is not using Armament or making his attacks heavier with darkness yet... Heck, he does not even plan to use the Tremor-Tremor Fruit.
But he gave Itadori enough time to get used to the situation. Suddenly darkness covers his arm to his elbow and he punches Itadori in the guts.
"Ugh! GUuuurk!" The pink-haired teen doubles down like a shrimp, puking blood from his mouth as his eyes almost jump from their sockets.
"Uuh~ I got a good feeling on this one~" Megumi's tone is playful, their face pretty close as his fist is buried deep in Itadori's torso.
Not enough to make a hole and turn the poor guy into a donut, but Megumi can clearly see Itadori's reserves of cursed energy depleting... His body is starting to fail.
Exactly what he wants.
"Itadori!!" He hears Choso's voice from behind him
"Don't shout if you're going for a sneak attack..." Megumi dodges Choso's attack, her arm is revested in hardened blood, the tip sharp like a spear.
He moves his body to the side and with one hand he grabs her wrist and brings his other hand up to her elbow, breaking her arm, and blood armor, bending in an unnatural way, then hitting her solar plexus with his own elbow.
As Choso coughs blood on the ground after being forced onto her knees, the shards of her broken blood armor scatter around Megumi, and suddenly they go from a solid state to liquid.
"Oh!" He opens his mouth seeing the blood move around him, and then coalesces to bind him in chains, forcing his arms close to his torso.
"Oh..." He says again after noticing why she went to such lengths only to bind him for a second.
Itadori's fist is already reaching him. His face is fierce and determined.
░▒▓█BLACK FLASH█▓▒░
Itadori hits Megumi's side, sending him flying some distance. It's proof of Megumi's ability that he was able to reposition his arm a little to block the attack from hitting his ribs directly.
'Kuhahahaha! You got hit by these scrubs!!' Sukuna laughs in his mind
"Shut up, no one likes backseat gaming..."
When he stops some distance he is smiling "Zeha~ I kinda forgot you can do that."
He breaks the bindings completely and looks up just to see Itadori already on him, fist pulled back, still keeping that fierce expression on his face, he can swear that his eyes are shining.
Megumi thinks that shot is kinda cool and his smile widens "Fine, I will let you have this... I kinda deserve it."
░▒▓█BLACK FLASH█▓▒░
Right in the cheek, making Megumi's face turn violently and sending his body sliding backward. The tip of his feet creates two lines on the ground as he keeps his stance.
"Yep... I'm feeling it..." He says to himself while looking down, his bangs obscuring his eyes, not even paying attention to Itadori approaching him again, fist ready.
░▒▓█BLACK FLASH█▓▒░
He was hit right in the chest and was sent backsliding again.
"Right! I got it! It's in the air... The conditions are good..." He continues muttering to himself, his face now turned to the dark sky.
Itadori presses his advantage, clenching his fist... But Megumi clenches his fist too.
When Itadori punches, black sparks fly... Megumi does the same, a huge smile on his face
░▒▓█BLACK FLASH█▓▒░ X ░▒▓█BLACK FLASH█▓▒░
The two first meet, the black spars flying everywhere, creating havoc in the surroundings.
A never once seen clash of Black Flashes.
An explosion of cursed energy happens when the two fists meet, and Itadori is sent flying while Megumi stays in place.
In the end, a Black Flash is only a "Critical Hit" that multiplies the attack power. It who ever has the bigger base attack power from the beginning wins.
As Itadori's arms almost explode, blood gushing out from them as the fresh mangles on their bones, Megumi only feels his body shaking.
But it's irrelevant damage, he disappears from his spot and appears in front of Itadori, his smile still splitting his face.
"I'm sorry~ Did I step on your moment?"
░▒▓█BLACK FLASH█▓▒░
Now it's his turn.
Normally you can't control when to hit a Black Flash. Even Itadori who was blessed with this aspect, can't Always hit Black Flashes, but he has a great ease in chaining them one after the other.
You see, when someone hits a Black Flash the air shifts. Gojo once said that it's impossible to guarantee a 100% success rate because there are aspects out of the control of the Jujutsu Sorcerer, like temperature, air pressure...
But when a Black Flash happens you can say that the black sparks change the surroundings a little... Like it's charged with static electricity.
To create an accommodating place... A place where Black Flashes can flourish
"I'm better even in what you excel!!"
░▒▓█BLACK FLASH█▓▒░
Once again Megumi hits Itadori, who tried to block with his still good arm, only to have it partially destroyed too.
After the pink-haired teen hit his combo, you can say that Megumi went into his rhythm, that he stole his flow... He is riding the waves that Itadori started.
"Ze-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha!" Megumi laughs deep in his throat. Hitting a Black Flash is always a pleasurable moment. Cursed Energy is negative emotions, it's like you're discharging all of the negativity through those dark sparks. It's refreshing. It's cathartic!
As Megumi is preparing his next attack... He once again can feel the dark sparks coalescing around his fist... This attack will leave Itadori almost dead.
But suddenly he was attacked from behind by Choso who wants to save her little brother.
"Bad move! I am fully hyped now!" Megumi turns fast and
░▒▓█BLACK FLASH█▓▒░
He goes extra nasty on this one.
He didn't ball his fist, his open palm and straight fingers went through Choso like a spear...
His bloodied hand appears on her back as he keeps her impaled in the air, her legs dangling without leverage to support her.
"...oh. This sobered me up now." He says in a low voice as he is bathed in her blood.
His face goes back to impassive as he looks at Choso who is at death's door.
The half-hybrid tries to move the blood spilled on Megumi, but at the first signal of that, he mercilessly slams her on the ground with a *Boom*.
This scene is seen by Itadori, who is struggling to push himself off the ground with his half-destroyed arms. He watches Choso struggling after having an arm go through her torso to being hammered on the asphalt. He watched all that helplessly.
His eyes are wide and as he finally finds his voice to call for his sister, Megumi disappears from his vision and he suddenly feels some weight crashing down on his back, forcing him on the ground again.
"Oh... That was not a Black Flash... I'm out of the Zone, it seems." He hears Megumi's calm voice and feels his foot on his back.
Megumi almost contemptuously flips Itadori with his foot, making him face him.
"Can you use the Reverse Cursed Technique?" He asks like they are not fighting
"..." Itadori coughs a little blood when Megumi's foot presses on his chest.
"It goes like that... You have to visualize not only the reverse part, but you also need to reach that breaking point where the Reverse happens. Like when ice is so cold that it burns... In your case, I would suggest allowing yourself to get so angry that you become calm." Megumi explains
Itadori only glares at him
"Nothing? I'm giving you a lot of chances here Itadori..." Megumi says helplessly "If you can't use it now, I don't think you can fight anymore and our fight is over."
He waits a little more and Itadori shows no signs of healing himself. He doesn't know if that is because he can't or if it's because he is not following his instructions.
"W-why are you doing this?" Itadori managed to squeeze the question out of his mouth
"Hm? Helping you now? Just increasing your chances... Make it a fair fight... test destiny to see if I'm on the wrong path and if the fist of justice can really strike down evil..." He shrugs "Maybe a part of me, the innocent otaku part, wants you to prove me wrong… But you failed Yuji. Selfishness keeps winning."
"N-No... This... All this." Itadori coughs
"Dude... I already explained that, no? There's no turning back now. I think I can't even go to the next world if I don't complete this mission... I need to read the rules again." Megumi scratches his chin while thinking "Anyway, it's nothing personal... You're simply an unlucky fella."
"..."
"..." Megumi continues to stare at him patiently "Yep, I think it's over... Wait here, let me bring you your sister. You have that whole thing about dying with your loved ones, right?" He turns around and starts walking to the fallen Choso.
He at least will allow them to have their last moments together... "Hm?" He feels something behind him and as he turns around he sees Itadori standing up through sheer willpower.
"..." Megumi's eyebrows raise in surprise for a moment before he smiles again.
Then he kicks Itadori's leg and breaks one of his knees.
"Urgh..."
As Itadori falls again Megumi says "That's a protagonist~ Too bad it's not enough..." He stomps Itadori one more time for good measure before walking back again "Only strength matters, Itadori!" He says in a loud voice as he goes to grab Choso "It's obvious but Power is something that will never betray you and that will sustain every other aspect of your life! That's why I trained every day! That's why I want Sukuna's power. I don't know what my next world will be, so I need to prepare for the worst... imagine dying there because I let morals stop me from getting stronger now? Oops~" He grabs Choso by the clothes and starts dragging her to Itadori. "Against the uncertainty of life, you can only rely on your personal power..."
He doesn't do it in a gentlemanly or even human way, he simply drags her body through the ground like she is already dead, a thick trail of blood being left behind as he walks back to Itadori.
"Heave-ho!" He drags her to him so that the two would stay side by side, they can barely move because of the injuries.
"Itadori..." Choso says slowly, her voice just above a whisper.
"Onee-chan..." Itadori answers while looking at her mangled body with tears in his eyes. "You can still run..."
"N-no... I'm not gonna leave you..."
If Choso patches her wounds, she can probably run because Megumi's focus would Always be on Itadori. The chance is slim but is still there.
"Hmm, this is leaving some bad taste in my mouth..." Megumi holds his jaw while watching the sad scene "So I'm not a monster... Only a man that needs to do what he needs to do."
He approaches and crouches down next to Itadori "Can I monologue a little Itadori? I want this first time to be special… The whole package." He asks the pink-haired teen "By the way, I don't care if you two come up with a plan or something while I run my mouth."
"..."
"You know... If given the chance, I would not have started this." With his knowledge that Itadori was fused with a finger from the beginning, maybe he would not have taken the Mission. "Or at least I would have done some things differently."
"..." Itadori can only glare at him at this point.
"Not because I care about you particularly, don't get me wrong... It's just about the general vibe of my life, you know? I just wanted a casual wish-fulfilling life, trying to avoid sad moments, but here I am..." Megumi sighs while puffing his cheeks, his hand supporting his chin while he looks around
Megumi spends some time with his eyes in another direction before focusing again on Itadori.
"You know, if I think about it a little, some solutions can appear to this situation... You are having Sukuna's information imprinted on you, so you probably can learn how to give the power of his fingers away."
"..." A glimmer of hope appears on the heart of the fallen siblings.
"But I will not do that... Like, how long would it take? A year, at the earliest? Too much time, the plot is already ending." But Megumi destroys that hope as fast as he gave birth to it "You would also not be accepted by Jujutsu Society, you can betray me afterward even with a Binding Vow... Well, it would be unreliable, and the more time that passes the higher the chances of things getting out of control again. Like, look what I did with your sister. The moment I killed your brothers we were destined to be enemies."
"..."
"Well, the truth is you are not worth the effort Itadori. You are just one of infinite Itadoris" Megumi looks down on the pink-haired teen with emotionless eyes "Don't look at me like that... In another universe, you would gladly die to get rid of Sukuna, and I'm doing exactly that. It's the same thing. The same thing!" He laughs a little at his rationalization "Your sacrifice will not be in vain, dude! Thanks for the public service!"
He sighs after finishing his laugh "I'm not that bad, at least I gave you a lot of chances... Another contractor would trap you and blackmail your sister here for sexual favors, you know? I will just kill her afterward... I don't think I can conquer her at this point, and rape looks lame. Not that I'm sure that I will never do it in the future."
He continues to monologue, really not caring about the two.
"Like... Hate-fucking looks interesting, but the two parties need to hate each other, right? Despite all this, I don't hate Choso-chan here." He nods to himself "Hm it seems I found my bottom line."
Finally, he stands up "Well, that's it. Time to step on the path of no return... After this... I don't know… just continue living my best life I guess. I don't think much will change... I will not start massacring innocents or anything like that just because I crossed the line this one time... Hitomi-chan!" He shouts to the nothing.
A second later the Disaster Human Curse lands close to them.
"Check on Itadori... See if you can remove Sukuna's fingers." Megumi instructs
"Okaaay~" Hitomi touches the protagonist of this world "Hm~ Hm~, now that he is all fucked I can manipulate his soul but... Nope! Can't do!" She turns smiling at Megumi
"..."
"He is really fused very well with Sukuna. Such good work is a detriment now~ I can't simply remove Sukuna's fingers... it's like... Hmm, like the fingers are pieces of metal imbued in concrete. I can break the concrete, that is Itadori-kun's soul, to release the intact pieces of metal, that are Sukuna's fingers, but Itadori-kun's soul would break." Hitome uses an analogy "Sukuna's soul is stronger and would survive the process, but Itadori-kun's soul... Well..." She gives a thumbs-down
"...you are not gonna take the fingers off him, right Sukuna?" Megumi asks
"Nuh-uh." Sukuna answers immediately with a big smile
Megumi sighs one last time and looks down at Itadori
"Well... I tried. Not as much as I could have, but I tried." He says to his fallen opponent "Hitomi-chan..." 'Megumi don't do that...' "???" Strangely he hears a female voice
'What kind of schizophrenia bullshit is this? Did I just hear Tsumiki?' He hits the side of his head like he wants to take water off his ear 'Sorry, Onee-chan...'
"Hitomi-chan...Make him as smaller as possible." Megumi gives the sentence without a pause this time
"No..." Choso tries to fight back, but her body can barely move "No! You can do anything to me! I will do anything!! Just don't hurt my little brother!!! "She pleads as tears stream down her face.
"..." But Megumi's heart is not moved. He made peace with this result before this fight even started... It's not some tears that will shake his will. If he was the one pleading, would Choso spare him?
"You are the first innocent person that I kill..." He looks deeply into Itadori's eyes 'It sounds cliche and a reference, but it comes from my heart...' "Itadori Yuji... I will not forget you for as long as I live." Strangely Itadori seems at peace, but maybe is only Megumi rationalizing his bad deed again.
"..." Hitomi touches Itadori and his flesh is warped, slowly shrinking till he is the size of a finger, he looks like one too.
"Hehe~" Hitomi laughs as she gives Megumi the doll-like human. Curious to see what happens next.
"Fushiguro Megumi!!! I will never forgive you!! I will kill you!!!! I WILL KILL YOU!!!!" Choso trashes on the ground while screaming at him madly, her blood starting acting weird "I will- Gah!"
Megumi interrupts her by stomping her on the ground again
"Can you not?" He sound displeased "I was in an introspection moment..."
He was trying to figure out his feelings about this, how he feels about what he is about to do... How it affects and will affect him in the future.
And the answer is...
"... I don't feel much." He says almost absent-mindedly while looking at the nothing, Itadori still in his hand "I had more empathy with him when I was watching him through a screen..."
It's strange... Megumi feels surprisingly at peace. Like some weight was lifted from his shoulders. Is it because he is about to complete the Mission? But shouldn't this feeling appear after completing the mission?
And it's not happiness, pride, or anything related to success either... It's like a veil that was over his eyes was finally removed and he is seeing things clearly, living things clearly...
'Maybe this means I'm not a fan anymore...'
He separated himself from the "Outsider" perspective.
Itadori was a person, he is a person... People enter into conflict.
Itadori is not more important than him because he is the protagonist, and he is not more important than Itadori because he is a Contractor.
They are equals in importance and this importance is negligible, or at best subjective. He can only win to protect what is his.
'Nihilism sucks!' "...time to end this, Sukuna." *Nhac*
A mouth opens in his hand and devours Itadori. Sukuna is also tired of waiting.
Megumi checks his Company Smartphone and...
[True Sukuna's Successor Mission]
Fingers(or equivalent) consumed – (20/20)
[Do you want to start the Ritual Battle? [START]]
"Finally... Hitomi-chan, don't move from this spot, and keep an eye on Choso-chan." Megumi orders
There's still the Bonus Objective of devouring Choso.
"Jogo and Uraume, just wait a little more..." He sits on the ground and doesn't wait for an answer, or for them to appear, before pressing the button.
*Ding*
The world around him is slowly consumed by darkness, disappearing in an instant before reappearing again... But this time lifeless.
There's no sound, no wind... Nothing.
"A replica of Shibuya..." Megumi understands. He stands up to face the person who is slowly appearing in front of him.
Another of himself but in a kimono.
He (Sukuna) is showing a wide-eyed, and vacant, expression. As he slowly appears.
"I see... The Waifu Catalog, huh?" Sukuna says after some time
"So the knowledge was downloaded into your brain... How much do you know?" Megumi asks casually, checking his own condition. He is in top shape.
"Everything. I know that if I defeat you, I will take your place as a Contractor and be able to visit other worlds... Kuhuhu~ What an interesting concept." The King of Curses chuckles deeply
"Whoa, the Company is so cruel... it gave you the knowledge of what you will never have." Megumi chuckles too.
"Kuhaha! The first thing I will do after finishing you here is kill your Retinue." Sukuna smiles widely
"You should sell them, it gives credits..." Megumi doesn't let his words get to him, even though he is internally angry "Don't worry, I'm not a monster like you... So I will treat Uraume very well after I kill you here." Megumi answers in kind.
"Kuhaha! "Zehaha!"
"-hahahahaha!"
The two laugh together for some time before they control themselves.
"Answer me something, Fushiguro Megumi..."
"Shoot."
"The mission states that you can challenge me even if you only ate 10 fingers... Why risk fighting me at full power?" Sukuna asks, curious.
"Hm, the rewards are bigger and I'm greedy..." Megumi answers while scratching his chin "And I am prideful and want to fight you at full power. If I came here with only the intention of fighting half of you, I feel like I would be losing before we even start... And also that you don't have an excuse when you lose." He laughs
"Kuhaha! You really are a greedy person, Fushiguro Megumi!" Cursed Energy starts to get emitted from Sukuna's body as his fighting spirit rises.
Megumi answers in kind, laughing too "Yes, I am. I want everything! I refuse to come here and let opportunities pass just because of trivial things like morals! Zehaha! This world is mine! I want everything here! Everything I fancy and I can grab will be mine! Including your power, Sukuna!!"
The cursed energy of the two clash, creating a storm in this windless world. They stare at each other with mirroring smiles as they get ready to fight the battle that will decide the fate of this world.
*Boom*
Suddenly a beam of light is emitted from Sukuna... He is going back to his own body, it will give him a better advantage. He is more familiar with it and can use his extra arms and mouth.
Well, not "he"...
"..." Megumi's smile slowly disappears as his face falls. "Ah man, c'mon!! You're a woman??" He shouts in indignation
"I never said I wasn't..." The Amazonian form of Sukuna answers calmly as she tests her old body.
"Damn it! Will nothing go my way tonight?!?" The Young sorcerer shouts to the sky angrily "Fuck it... If I win a duel against Gojo, the Bonus Objective will give me a 100 credits... I will use it to buy a copy of you." He is seething
"You really are a pervert..." Sukuna says in her smooth voice, one of her four hands going through her long mane of pink hair. "Not that there is anything wrong with that."
Megumi regrets now.
He regretted taking this mission a little when he killed Itadori, but now he regrets it even more. If he hadn't taken this mission he would be able to Stamp Sukuna. Heck, it would be very probable that Universal Calibration would make Yuji a girl too.
The Company probably knew they were destined to fight because of the fact Yuji had a finger from the beginning and let him be a man.
He doesn't know it, but he could have had a duo of niece and auntie. A Oyakodon of a different flavor...
But he calms himself quickly enough... At this point, he is ready to do anything. His heart is a still pool of darkness.
It will not be a 7-foot-tall Amazonian hot babe that will shake his determination now.
He prepares himself for the battle.
"Before we start... Let me ask you something too..." He opens his mouth, his face serious
"..."
"If you got pregnant... Would you simply spit the baby out with that mouth on your abdomen?"

Author's Note: Hello there
As expected, the last chapter created mixed reactions. So let's go through it briefly here. Bear with me.
Like it was advertised many times… This is not like those WC stories with good contractors, sorry if Megumi's relaxed and even upbeat attitude with his friends mislead you.
But he is a villain.
It was shown many times tho, so many times that some people even complained about every chapter having an "I'm a villain monologue".
I prepared you guys for it… Him deciding to fucking stamp almost everyone, abandoning Mechamaru, many talks with his peers…
Many said that he is too edgy… Well, guilty as charged. He would not deny that, and is even an in-verse joke. I would say that he is extracting 100% of the isekai experience.
But for real, I think he is less edgy than many other "villains Mcs" out there. What do they do to be considered villains? Rape? Blackmail? Kill characters that no one liked? So edgy~ Almost childish…
Their actions are extreme, but they lack a certain "class" that a villain would have.
I think Si!gumi killing Itadori passes an important message… No one is safe.
Don't be surprised that in future worlds he kills more fan favorites… If the story goes there. As an example… If he goes to the Big Three… He can very well kill people like Shanks, Jiraiya, Kakashi, Urahara, and even Yoruichi if they get in his way. Or if he has something to gain.
I'm trying to raise a baby Fang Yuan here… But not as smart, and hornier.
Well, that's it… To put things even more in perspective, imagine the Trolley Problem… Maki on one side and all of Kyoto High School on the other.
Forget about pulling the lever, Megumi would kill all of Kyoto with his own hands, even Todo. Sorry~
But this also raises that thing about getting stronger at any cost... The stronger he gets, the less likely he will have to make those choices. Like killing Itadori today. He does not enjoy it by the way.
Ah, and yes… he is inconsistent as fuck… Like we all here. He probably would have tried harder if Itadori was a cute girl.
Bye Bye~
Till next time.
