What is the essence of Cursed Energy? No one knows, not even Schwarzer obtained a definitive answer after completing its analysis.
It is a power born from negative emotions, but why negative emotions can become Cursed Energy, no one knows the reason.
Schwarzer attempted to analyze it for a moment but then gave up; this idealistic power involving emotions was not her specialization.
She could only vaguely sense that the essence of Cursed Energy was not simply emotional energy, or rather, it was different from pure emotional energy. Its origin was too mysterious, quite possibly involving the rules of the world.
This also made her more optimistic about Cursed Energy, as it could repair her soul, making it a rare and invaluable 'tonic.'
Thinking of this, even controlling over a dozen Shadow Clone bodies across the globe, burying five-digit numbers of devices, with processors running at full load throughout, didn't seem so unbearable... just kidding!
Schwarzer once again generated a piece of Core Data, replenishing the emotions that had drained away these past few days. Five days had passed too quickly, especially with all the work she had been doing later on.
In her soul space, only the last solitary piece of Core Data remained: Einzig's mechanical heart, which she wanted to keep as a souvenir.
"[Question]System, don't you have any auxiliary programs? Can you take over? I don't want to work anymore."
"You can't rest yet, Host. I can't directly control your body; my previous takeover was merely a necessary procedure to break through the world barrier."
Faced with Schwarzer's request, the System ruthlessly refused, grateful that it truly didn't possess such capabilities, for the less ability, the less responsibility.
Long accustomed to the System's incompetence, Schwarzer remained silent. She decided to ignore it for an hour, initiating a silent treatment.
Of course, this would also save some computing power. At the White House, Gojo Satoru had been completely ensnared by Uchiha Itachi's Tsukuyomi, so she had to allocate a thread to save him.
...
...
Inside Jujutsu High, due to 'Geto Suguru''s broadcast, the entire Jujutsu world felt as if an earthquake had struck. Various orders flew wildly from the higher-ups, all revolving around a single core objective: finding a way to stop the other party.
However, within a mere dozen minutes, Geto Suguru had already made all the information public, and Gojo Satoru, who was originally the most hopeful to stop him, had also gone missing.
Itadori and the others stood before the television, watching the higher-ups on screen explain matters concerning the Jujutsu world and Chakra, encouraging everyone to cultivate Chakra, and asserting that the world crisis was not a hoax.
These arrangements were for ordinary people and had nothing to do with them; the television was merely playing as background noise.
At this very moment, the group was waiting for someone capable of managing the situation to return; the Jujutsu world had devolved into complete chaos.
"Hasn't Gojo Satoru-sensei returned yet? It's already been several hours."
"Don't worry, Gojo Satoru-sensei will definitely be fine. He's the strongest Jujutsu Sorcerer."
'But...'
Itadori had been in the Jujutsu world for the shortest time and didn't have as deep an impression of Gojo Satoru's invincibility, subconsciously wanting to raise doubts.
However, there was no point in saying such things now; it would only make others anxious, so he chose to remain silent.
"By the way, where is that... Schwarzer-san?"
"If it's her, she should be able to find Gojo Satoru-sensei, right?"
Noticing the atmosphere growing heavier, Fushiguro Megumi spoke up, trying to change the subject.
Although they referred to her as a classmate, in terms of both strength and appearance, Schwarzer was completely out of place among them, not to mention their almost complete lack of communication.
As a powerful individual capable of matching Gojo Satoru, her presence would be a pillar of support.
As if in response to his call, just as Fushiguro Megumi mentioned Schwarzer, a blue spatial gate appeared.
"Looking for me?" A familiar, petite figure stepped out from within the portal.
The Jujutsu world was a pure world where the strong preyed on the weak, and power was the sole guarantee. Schwarzer's appearance instantly lifted their spirits.
—Until they saw her walk further out of the portal, carrying the unconscious Gojo Satoru in her hands.
"Gojo Satoru-sensei?!" Their soaring spirits instantly turned into utter shock.
Everyone immediately crowded around, confirming that Gojo Satoru still had a pulse; he was merely unconscious.
"Move aside, let the professional handle this."
Shoko unceremoniously pushed her way through, creating a path, and performed a check on the unconscious Gojo Satoru.
There was no physical damage to his body, his breathing was stable with no internal injuries, and his Cursed Energy was almost completely unexpended.
Gojo Satoru's condition was unbelievably good; a full day of rest had allowed him to recover his body exceptionally well.
However, his mind was intensely focused, his consciousness extremely active, yet he could not awaken.
Shoko had never encountered such a bizarre situation before; Gojo Satoru was as if trapped in an endless nightmare, unable to wake up.
"He's under genjutsu, and a very powerful one at that."
Before Shoko could find the cause, Kakashi suddenly spoke. He sensed the presence of Chakra on Gojo Satoru, and it felt very familiar... was it a Sharingan?
"Genjutsu?"
"It's a way of utilizing Chakra, capable of deceiving a person's five senses. Advanced genjutsu can completely trap someone in an illusory world, preventing them from waking up."
The few people present immediately understood: Gojo Satoru was now trapped in a world of genjutsu. But who could possess such immense power to defeat Gojo Satoru?
"It must be Uchiha Itachi!"
Sasuke immediately reacted, his Uchiha Itachi radar going off. Gojo Satoru had Uchiha Itachi's Chakra on him!
Subconsciously, he activated his three-tomoe Sharingan, attempting to dispel the genjutsu.
However, Tsukuyomi, as a Mangekyo Sharingan's Cursed Technique, was clearly not something his mere three-tomoe could contend with. Just the contact with the Chakra gave him hallucinations, making him feel as if he was pierced by a kunai.
"Ugh!" Sasuke clutched his chest and staggered back two steps. He hadn't expected Uchiha Itachi's genjutsu to be so powerful.
"Uchiha Itachi?" Kakashi frowned upon hearing that name. Why was this guy here?
As one of Konoha's greatest rogue ninjas, Kakashi naturally knew information about Uchiha Itachi. With his Mangekyo Sharingan, he was truly Kage-level in strength.
Blood tears flowed from Kakashi's left eye as he forcibly activated his unfamiliar Mangekyo Sharingan, attempting to dispel the genjutsu.
To humble Gojo Satoru's pride as the strongest, Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Obito had added some extra 'ingredients.' With Kakashi's half-baked Mangekyo Sharingan, he tried for a long time but saw no results.
"No, this isn't ordinary genjutsu from Uchiha Itachi. It's highly likely a Mangekyo Sharingan's Cursed Technique, and my Chakra isn't enough."
"To dispel it, you need to use a Mangekyo Sharingan of the same caliber, and it requires a large amount of Chakra."
Among those present, only he and Sasuke possessed a Sharingan. Although he had activated his Mangekyo Sharingan, his Chakra reserves were insufficient. Sasuke had a Cursed Seal to replenish Chakra, but his Sharingan was only three-tomoe, leaving them in a very awkward situation.
"Kakashi-sensei's Chakra reserves will be difficult to increase quickly in a short time. Now, there's only one way..."
"I need to hunt Cursed Spirits. As long as I can absorb enough Cursed Energy, I can awaken my Mangekyo Sharingan."
Sasuke clenched his fists; his desire for power grew even stronger.
