Chapter 12 – Victory or Defeat?
Domain Expansion – Unlimited Void.
A massive sphere of pitch-black energy swallowed the entire battlefield. Within it, a cascade of endless white light shimmered—light that carried with it the weight of absolute nothingness.
That was the true form—both outside and within—of this domain.
Standing in its center was none other than Gojo Satoru. Behind him, a colossal eye slowly opened, resembling a black hole suspended in space.
Inside the Unlimited Void, only Gojo could truly remain grounded in the realm. Everyone else—unless in direct physical contact with him—was left floating in suspension, their senses trapped in a space where the very concept of perception was pushed to its absolute limit.
Information, raw and infinite, poured relentlessly into the human mind. Sensory data from all directions, from every corner of existence, surged through mental barriers without mercy. It wasn't just sight or sound. It was everything—all knowledge in the universe flooding the soul at once.
And in the face of such overwhelming awareness, action became impossible.
No matter how trivial or grand, all information was force-fed into the brain. The eyes were blinded by chaotic visuals, the mind paralyzed under the weight of comprehension, and the body frozen from the sheer overload.
In this state, the victim would experience a terrifying paralysis: their thoughts frozen, their body unresponsive, their soul consumed by meaningless knowledge.
All they could do was wait—for death to come slowly, inevitably.
And now... that same endless stream of useless knowledge was being poured into Zenin Kyūjō.
But—
What stunned Gojo Satoru wasn't that Kyūjō was suffering.
It was that he wasn't.
The teenager before him stood unfazed—his fist, cloaked in a crackling Black Flash, surged forward without hesitation, without fear.
For the first time, Gojo's Six Eyes widened in astonishment.
Those eyes—so absolute they could pierce lies, uncover truths, and decode the very fabric of cursed energy—had rarely been surprised.
But now, standing before a boy who defied logic itself, a forgotten feeling returned to Gojo's heart:
Excitement.
A simple punch. But just how devastating could it really be?
As Kyūjō's fist drew closer, a faint smile curled on Gojo's lips. Not one of mockery—but of joy.
Because being "invincible" had never truly been fun for him.
Yet now, out of nowhere, this strange boy had not only broken free from his Domain... but stood tall against it.
Gojo Satoru was caught off guard.
But more than that—
He was thrilled.
Not just by the anomaly.
But because, at last... the world had delivered a worthy opponent.
A true equal.
And if this was going to be a real fight—
Then Gojo Satoru would respond with everything he had.
— — —
Inside the Unlimited Void, Gojo's hands moved with calculated precision.
His left hand summoned Cursed Technique Lapse: Blue—a gravitational pull.
His right hand conjured Cursed Technique Reversal: Red—a repelling force.
Then—
He brought both together before his chest. Attraction and repulsion fused into one singular force: a dark purple energy, vibrating with destructive intent.
Hollow Technique: Purple.
A surge of violent purple light erupted forward—straight toward Kyūjō's oncoming fist.
The clash was silent.
But in that instant, space itself was torn apart.
The impact shattered the Domain Expansion from within, causing a catastrophic shockwave that flattened the entirety of Tokyo's Third Public High School.
For a brief moment, the two opposing forces held firm.
Then—
Purple began to dominate.
The cursed energy storm surged forward, overwhelming Kyūjō's momentum and slamming him toward the edge of the battlefield, smashing him hard against the curtain-like barrier that framed the domain.
But just as the energy was about to consume him—
Kyūjō suddenly pulled back his fist.
The swirling purple force came crashing in.
From a distance, Gojo's pupils narrowed. He prepared to intervene—to save the boy who had earned his admiration.
But before he could act—
At the very last second, Kyūjō's hands erupted with resonance. The cursed energy around him flared and twisted space itself.
Two more Black Flashes exploded from his fists—one from each hand.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Left and right, his fists crossed midair, pounding the Purple energy over and over again.
A relentless barrage of Black Flashes.
The cursed wave crumbled under the weight of his punches.
Dimensional cracks began to tear through the air, distorting the battlefield like shattered glass suspended in space.
With fists clenched and resolve unshaken, Zenin Kyūjō stepped forward once more—toward Gojo Satoru.
'What an incredible kid…' Gojo thought.
Even Black Flash... he could unleash it with such mastery?
A grin tugged at Gojo's lips.
The flames of battle surged once again.
Round two—Gojo Satoru vs. Zenin Kyūjō—had begun.
— — —
But as the last embers of cursed energy faded from his body, the fight between Kyūjō and Gojo reached its end.
With the clarity of his Six Eyes, Gojo could see it all—Kyūjō's exhausted body, pushed far past its limits.
He had just unleashed another Purple, blocking the boy's final attack.
Now, Gojo stood tall, taking a long breath as fatigue caught up with him.
This battle had pushed him like no other.
His breaths were paced. His body finely tuned.
To stay standing... had required everything.
And in the end, it was Gojo who remained.
But... had Kyūjō truly lost?
Gojo didn't think so.
If only this kid had a little more Cursed Energy…
Combined with that terrifyingly strong body...
Then maybe—just maybe—Gojo himself would've been the one to fall.
If Kyūjō's cursed output could ever match his physical might...
Special Grade? Not necessary.
Grade 1 would be enough.
If he reached that level... and unleashed a proper Black Flash?
Gojo Satoru couldn't guarantee he'd survive even one hit.
And if that fist were to hit the ground instead?
Then perhaps... all of Tokyo would be wiped off the map in an instant.
