BOOM!
A few minutes later, a burnt corpse collapsed in front of Jogo.
Jogo looked displeased.
This hunter was quite tough—no matter how much they interrogated or tortured him, he refused to reveal the whereabouts of his companions.
"Tch!"
So, in the end, Jogo lost his temper and didn't hold back.
"How was it?"
Hanami stared at Jogo, asking.
He was asking about Jogo's experience fighting the hunter and his Nen ability.
"It's pretty similar to cursed energy… the techniques are more intricate, with more variations. But still, the power is just too weak… Hmph," Jogo said smugly by the end.
Hanami didn't speak.
He could tell the difference wasn't because Nen was weaker than cursed energy. On the contrary, it was actually a higher-tier force, with more techniques and possibilities. But the reason Jogo overpowered the hunter and finished him off so quickly… was that while Nen was stronger than cursed energy, its output and usable amount were extremely limited.
It was miles apart from Jogo's power.
"What about you guys… what do you think?"
Hanami seemed more cautious than Jogo and turned to the three yellow-skinned cursed spirits who had just arrived.
These three messengers were more familiar with this world than he and Jogo.
"The information we gathered matches up," one of them said seriously. "You can't assess all Hunters by the strength of just one. In this world, some Hunters have different Nen affinities, and they develop their abilities differently. Their focus varies… some are combat-oriented, others focus more on support. This enemy… seems like someone who's been hiding nearby. Their ability likely suits surveillance or evasion. But for some reason, they've suddenly exposed themselves."
The yellow-skinned cursed spirit continued, "Also, from the fight, their physical abilities weren't very strong… but you can tell they used Nen to enhance their strength. Whether it was offense or defense, their attributes skyrocketed in a short time. However, their base stats were too weak. Even with the boost, they couldn't stand up to Jogo."
"When it comes to this… Hunters are stronger than sorcerers. In our world, aside from freaks like Gojo Satoru, humans still operate within a normal physical limit. But Hunters can use Nen to enhance their bodies to terrifying levels… from what I know of this world, its effect is at least equal to, if not stronger than, our Heavenly Restriction or Cursed Techniques."
"Huh?"
Jogo seemed displeased. "Are you saying the guy I just killed was just a weakling?"
"That's exactly it…"
The yellow-skinned cursed spirit nodded. "In the Hunter x Hunter world, there are some freaks who can move tons of weight, even without using Nen, just relying on their physical strength."
"Impossible!"
Hanami's voice cracked in disbelief.
How could humans do something like that?
Even Gojo couldn't achieve such feats without using cursed energy or techniques.
"The nature of the world is different… so naturally, the limits of human physiques differ massively. I told you before: although you two are involved in this mission, you can't rely on your previous knowledge and assumptions about our world to judge another world. That kind of thinking is a fatal mistake."
The yellow-skinned cursed spirit was the owner of the First Kill Badge. The fact that he had such a rare item meant he was outstanding, even in Jujutsu Kaisen's world.
If it wasn't for Kenjaku targeting him and scheming against him, he wouldn't have allowed Jogo and Hanami to join.
Because, essentially, the battlefield of the multiverse went from being advantageous for them to becoming a one-sided job for Kenjaku.
They would be stripped of their resources.
These special-grade cursed spirits were also highly dangerous.
Without adequate self-preservation measures, the yellow-skinned cursed spirit hadn't planned on working alongside the main plot characters.
They were all forced into this.
"I don't get it… where's the strength in that guy? He's just a bunch of flashy tricks…"
Jogo sneered at the ashes of the burnt corpse.
VROOM!
At that moment, a terrifying force descended from the sky, sweeping over the cursed spirits like an overwhelming tide.
It felt like a strange, surging wave, crashing over them.
In a daze, Jogo and the others, led by Jogo, heard a strange, high-pitched noise.
"That's…"
All the cursed spirits turned toward the night sky, where two massive figures stood, towering in the "space between heaven and earth." The energies colliding between them created waves of pressure that were almost suffocating.
"100-Type Guanyin Bodhisattva!"
"Damn… It's him! Netero is here too!"
When they finally saw the huge golden "Buddha" figure, the three yellow-skinned cursed spirits turned pale and shouted in unison.
"This feeling… it's like…"
Hanami was shocked as well.
What surprised him wasn't just the immense energy, but the aura emanating from one of the energy bodies. It was so similar to cursed energy that for a moment, he thought it might be another cursed spirit.
"What's going on?"
Hanami looked toward the yellow-skinned cursed spirits, noticing their changing expressions.
"100-Type Guanyin Bodhisattva… that's a Nen ability, the move of the strongest person in this world! As for the other one… I don't know."
The yellow-skinned cursed spirit spoke in a clearly shaken tone.
If the Hunters in Yorknew City were just regular characters, he wouldn't worry. But if it was Netero… the situation changed completely.
Although Jogo was a special-grade cursed spirit—one of the strongest in their world—against Netero? Honestly, the yellow-skinned cursed spirit believed Jogo didn't stand a chance.
The difference was just too vast.
That old man wasn't comparable to the hunter Jogo had just killed.
"Huh? The strongest?"
However, as a player, the yellow-skinned cursed spirit underestimated Jogo's personality. Upon hearing those words, Jogo's interest was piqued.
His single eye widened slightly.
"Seems like… it's really strong…"
Jogo's clothes whipped around in the wind as he cracked a grin and shot off toward the battlefield.
He was incredibly fast.
By the time the yellow-skinned cursed spirits tried to stop him, it was already too late.
Hanami quickly followed.
"Damn! We shouldn't have brought this idiot… now what?"
The yellow-skinned cursed spirit cursed loudly.
Jogo was too arrogant. In the original Jujutsu Kaisen story, he had the guts to provoke Gojo Satoru.
Now he was going after the strongest Nen user in the Hunter world?!
And they didn't have time to fully explain just how absurd Netero actually was. Without a clear understanding of his power, Jogo's confidence only grew.
"Doesn't this work to our advantage? If we use Netero to take out Jogo and Hanami… then we…"
One of the players suddenly said.
"But if Netero's in Yorknew City… doesn't that mean our mission is doomed to fail?"
Another cursed spirit swallowed nervously.
Only the yellow-skinned cursed spirit remained silent, his expression dark.
