Chapter 55 - Chapter 55 Protect Gojo Satoru

'Gojo Satoru, Jujutsu Sorcerer, Overall Score—Twenty-five Thousand Points (Special Grade Sorcerer).'

'Fushiguro Megumi, Jujutsu Sorcerer, Overall Score—Nine Thousand Points (Grade 1 Sorcerer).'

'Itadori Yuji, Jujutsu Sorcerer, Overall Score—Fourteen Thousand Points (Special Grade Sorcerer).'

Inside Jujutsu High, several people were wearing point detectors. Although Gojo Satoru was unconscious, the point detector measured the amount of his Cursed Energy. Even so, his score was terrifyingly high, but...

"Hey, hey, hey, why is Itadori's score so high?"

Fushiguro Megumi looked at Itadori's deceptively high score and raised an objection. He himself only had nine thousand points, so why was Itadori's score so much higher?

"The System must have included Sukuna's Cursed Energy within him, after all, they currently share one body."

"However, looking at it this way, the standard for a Special Grade Sorcerer should be around ten thousand points."

"Furthermore, points only calculate the amount of Cursed Energy and Chakra; it doesn't represent actual strength."

Kakashi quickly began to analyze; the amount of information provided within the ten rules was immense.

"What exactly do Geto Suguru and the others intend to do? How did they achieve this global power? This has already surpassed the scope of jujutsu, hasn't it?"

To ordinary people, the Culling Game was like a frog at the bottom of a well seeing the moon in the clouds, while to Jujutsu Sorcerers, it was like a plankton seeing the blue sky.

Only they, who understood the Jujutsu world extremely well, knew what this world-spanning Cursed Technique truly signified.

"Geto Suguru became a Cursed User long ago. His goal was to eliminate all Cursed Spirits. Cursed Spirits are formed from unconsciously overflowing Cursed Energy. Jujutsu Sorcerers can control Cursed Energy, and the Cursed Energy within their bodies doesn't leak."

"Ordinary people, however, cannot control their own Cursed Energy; this overflowing Cursed Energy is the origin of Cursed Spirits. Therefore, one method is to kill all non-Jujutsu Sorcerers, so there would be no uncontrolled Cursed Energy."

"The former Geto Suguru wanted to achieve this. He was too extreme, an individual against the entire world and the entire Jujutsu world, ultimately killed personally by Gojo Satoru."

"Now, it seems Gojo Satoru might have truly held back. He refused to hand over Geto Suguru's body back then..."

Shoko explained these old grievances to everyone. It was Geto Suguru's death that made Gojo Satoru realize the limitations of an individual's power, leading him to decide to become a teacher.

Geto Suguru's re-emergence made everyone believe that Gojo Satoru hadn't killed him back then, for actions speak louder than words.

"However, there's another method to permanently eliminate Cursed Spirits: allow everyone to control Cursed Energy. In that case, Cursed Energy generated by negative emotions wouldn't overflow, and naturally, no Cursed Spirits would be born."

"We originally thought this was completely impossible, but unexpectedly..."

Shoko looked at the point marker on herself: seven thousand points, reaching the standard for a Grade 1 Sorcerer, but still far from Special Grade.

But she didn't just see that; everyone had at least single-digit points. Geto Suguru had transformed everyone into Jujutsu Sorcerers.

What remarkable technology; it would be even better if it ended like this.

"Rule Two: Defeating other players grants all of their points, and you inherit half of their Cursed Energy and Chakra."

"Rule Nine: The victor of the Final Battle will receive one 'Miracle' and can have any wish granted."

"The opponent's objective is very clear: he wants everyone to kill each other."

Kakashi quickly spoke up, analyzing that regardless of whether the so-called miracle capable of granting any wish was real or fake, someone would definitely act on it.

As long as someone initiated combat, the inevitable fighting would spread.

After all, defeating an opponent grants half of their power and all of their points, which is too great an advantage for those who strike first.

"Regardless of whether the so-called miracle is real or fake, someone will definitely choose to act; simply being able to gain half of the opponent's 'power' is enough."

Shoko quickly understood the outcome of these rules: the entire world would descend into a state where the strong preyed on the weak, with winners taking all.

Is this the so-called 'end of the world'? Indeed, it is a true apocalypse, a world where all rules and order collapse, where the strong can do as they please, casually humiliating or even killing the weak.

"More than all this, shouldn't we be most worried about our own safety right now?"

"The news of Gojo Satoru's unconsciousness has been spread by who knows who; right now, he's a free, super-sized prize package."

"Killing the currently defenseless Gojo Satoru would grant half of his power and likely the most points in the world."

The so-called qualification assessment would begin in one day. To obtain a ticket to the Final Stage, one must ensure their points are among the top six.

Almost everyone could guess that the Special Grade Sorcerers definitely possessed enough points. This meant that the best way to qualify for the Final Stage was to eliminate the currently unconscious Gojo Satoru.

The power of a Special Grade is no joke; they are all monsters, and defeating them is incredibly difficult. However, the gap between Gojo Satoru and an ordinary Special Grade is also exaggeratedly vast; possessing half of his power would be enough to step into the Special Grade ranks!

"Jujutsu High is no longer safe. Quickly pack your things; we must hide."

"At the same time, to wake Gojo Satoru, we must help Sasuke hunt others."

"We'll split into two groups: one will protect Gojo Satoru and conceal his location, while the other will lead Sasuke to find those who have started killing. Cursed Spirits are certainly nowhere to be found, so we'll go hunt Cursed Users."

Sasuke's Cursed Seal can absorb the power of Cursed Spirits, but it's uncertain if it would work on humans. Fortunately, the Culling Game itself has a rule for taking an opponent's power.

Sasuke had no objections to this; he wasn't so pedantic as to insist on personally acquiring power. As long as he could gain power, he didn't care about the means.

Although everyone worldwide had awakened as Jujutsu Sorcerers, most ordinary people lacked Innate Techniques and had not systematically learned how to use Cursed Energy.

And among their group, there were several Grade 1 Sorcerers, perfectly capable of overwhelming most people.

"Since that's the case, let's start assigning tasks. Principal Yaga and I will be responsible for guarding Gojo Satoru, and also Naruto Uzumaki..."

Shoko decided to leave behind those with less combat power. However, when she looked at Naruto, the point detector suddenly shot out a long string of numbers.

'Naruto Uzumaki, Ninja, Overall Score—One Hundred Thousand (Tailed Beast-level)'
