Domain Expansion… this is a skill unique to Cursed Spirits and Jujutsu Sorcerers, somewhat similar to a Magus's Reality Marble.
In normal logic, only a stronger Domain can completely shatter a Cursed Spirit's or Sorcerer's Domain.
"You bastard, our fight isn't over yet! What are you trying to do!"
Just as Ryuya approached the false Suguru, a towering flame engulfed the man.
As the ground beneath their feet transformed the entire street, in an instant, the street became land filled with magma and flames.
This was Jogo's Domain Expansion… Coffin of the Iron Mountain!
"Tsk, these flames are really hot."
As True Ancestors, Arcueid and Altrouge didn't much like heat.
Looking at the flames filling the sky, a barrier constructed from magical energy appeared at their feet, enveloping Eriri and Yukino.
"These... what are these?"
Looking bewildered at the street already turned into blazing fire, where had Eriri ever experienced anything like this in her life?
Swallowing hard, she nervously gripped Yukino's arm, "Yukino, is Ryuya okay?"
"Should we call the police? This clearly isn't a normal person's fight, right?"
Her entire worldview was shattered. Unable to comprehend the scene, Eriri asked.
"Ah? No need to be nervous, Eriri. Onii-chan is very strong!"
Back when she first arrived in Snowfield City during the Fourth Holy Grail War, Yukino was also shocked.
But as time passed, gradually recognizing her brother's greatness, she understood just how strong the existence known as the Sun-Crowned King was.
Not worried about Ryuya's safety at all, Yukino's eyes sparkled as she looked towards Ryuya's position, her eyes full of admiration.
"Yukino, you... Fine, we'll die together then!"
Helplessly looking at her love-struck friend, Eriri certainly wouldn't abandon her friends.
A life of being ostracized since childhood taught her how important a true friend was.
Taking a deep breath, since she couldn't escape anyway, Eriri simply gave up.
Watching the ongoing battle, thinking about recent manga plots in her mind, she decided if she got out, she would definitely draw a manga with Ryuya as the protagonist.
Thud!
Under Jogo's Domain Expansion, the false Suguru immediately summoned a large number of Cursed Spirits to attack Ryuya.
But attacks of this level were still useless in Ryuya's eyes. He simply gently exhaled, and the flames belonging to Jogo were blown away.
As for the false Suguru's Cursed Spirits, they were directly pierced by various weapons manifesting at the man's feet.
"What is this? Is this your Domain?"
The world originally invaded by flames instantly became hopeful land.
Feeling his Domain Expansion collapse in an instant, Jogo initially thought the gap between him and Ryuya wasn't that large, but now...
"Don't screw with me! What kind of person are you?"
Realizing he couldn't leave this area without going all out, glancing at Eriri and Yukino protected by the Brunestud Sisters not far away, the false Suguru could tell two of the four were ordinary people.
Recalling how Ryuya seemed to wait until the ordinary people had fled before fighting and this man seemed to be avoiding involving normal people…
The corners of his mouth curled up as the false Suguru decided on a crazy idea.
"Barrier Expansion! Cursed Spirits spread throughout this world, bloom now!"
Because the world had many supernatural forces and many powerful beings, the false Suguru usually acted cautiously, trying not to initiate battles involving large numbers of ordinary people.
But now, realizing he would face something terrible if he didn't escape, he made a crazy decision: to release all the tens of thousands of Cursed Spirits within him.
Although the vast majority were extremely weak small Cursed Spirits, they posed a huge threat to ordinary people.
Taking a deep breath, the Cursed Energy the false Suguru erupted with now was his limit.
In just moments, anchors he had placed throughout Tokyo were instantly activated, lifting the seals. Countless Cursed Spirits filled the streets and alleys.
Magi, CCG's investigators, Ghouls, Youkai, Flame Hazes... etc., all non-ordinary beings could see this terrifying scene.
"Hey, if you won't let us leave, then these humans will die with me as my burial companions."
"Right now, under my control, these Cursed Spirits won't do anything. But if I'm gone, I can't guarantee what these Cursed Spirits will do."
As the false Suguru said, Cursed Spirits themselves were fear incarnate, hostile to humans, wanting to devour them.
Because they were controlled by the false Suguru, the Cursed Spirits blotting out the sky were still just watching humans menacingly.
But once the false Suguru died or gave an order, the unchained Cursed Spirits would turn Tokyo into a cruel hell, beginning a feast.
The real Suguru had used this move to threaten Gojo and Okkotsu Yuta and others before. Now, the false Suguru wanted to reuse the old trick.
"Ah? You think I care about the lives of those ordinary people?"
Looking at the false Suguru, Ryuya didn't even need to look at the Cursed Spirits filling the sky and ground.
Continuing step by step, step by step towards the false Suguru, his speed wasn't fast, but it brought considerable pressure to both the false Suguru and Jogo.
"Hmph, do you really not care?"
Thinking Ryuya was bluffing, just as the false Suguru prepared to release a few dozen Cursed Spirits to cause some harm, Yuji, who had been knocked out by Jogo earlier, had somehow emerged.
"Stop!"
Running in front of Ryuya and the false Suguru in a few steps, Yuji blocked Ryuya's advance.
Just like Gojo's choice back then, he didn't want to cause massive ordinary casualties.
If that was the case, besides trapping the false Suguru somewhere prepared in advance to kill him, facing the false Suguru's threat against ordinary people, both sides who didn't want to cause too much chaos could only choose to disperse peacefully.
"Hahaha... See? This little Jujutsu Sorcerer sees things clearer than you. How does it feel to be blocked by your own side?"
Seeing Yuji actually 'protecting' him, the false Suguru laughed arrogantly.
But before the laughter could last, he found his mouth suddenly couldn't move.
"Hmm, I don't dislike pure idealists. After all, it's your own choice. But I hope you understand that so-called ideals are often the consequence of insufficient ability."
"If your strength is great enough, then ideals become reality."
Gently pushing Yuji aside, Ryuya looked at the horrified false Suguru and smiled, "What's wrong? Can't move? You can keep laughing. Why did you stop?"
Looking at the false Suguru as if he were a clown, Ryuya was merely observing the Jujutsu Sorcerer's and Cursed Spirits' use of Cursed Energy in combat. He wasn't a rookie. As a King, he believed in destroying the enemy directly at the first opportunity.
Indicating he had played enough, he had already constructed a barrier along the entire street during the earlier fight to prevent affecting the surrounding ordinary people.
As for the false Suguru, he had also been monitoring him using his Earth King's authority. That's why the false Suguru couldn't move when Ryuya and Jogo started fighting.
Step by step walking up to the false Suguru, Ryuya patted his head and smiled, "So obedient."
"Come on, hand hand."
As Ryuya's words fell, the false Suguru's body actually proactively reached out its hand.
"Haha..."
It wasn't just setting up a barrier and watching the false Suguru that simple. Ryuya had already injected True Ancestor's blood into the false Suguru's body during that instant of contact at the start of the fight.
Using the control of the Earth King and Lord of Three Realms, even surpassing Crimson Moon's intensity, he controlled the false Suguru as if he were his own kin.
Looking at the false Suguru as if watching a monkey show, he suddenly released his control over him.
"What the hell did you do to me?"
The moment his body regained freedom, he stepped back several steps, then stared fixedly at Ryuya. The false Suguru didn't know what had happened to him.
Logically, as a Jujutsu Sorcerer who had lived over a thousand years, he should have a deep understanding of the human body. But...
"You... what did you do to me!"
His voice amplified, shouting at Ryuya as if roaring, the false Suguru had never suffered such humiliation.
'What with the head patting, 'so obedient', 'hand hand'… was he treating me like a dog?'
The roaring voice shook the earth. He finally released all the Cursed Spirits, determined to make this arrogant bastard understand that Kenjaku was not to be provoked.
However...
"The Legend of the Kingdom of the End (Reality Marble)." (T/N: Changing Nation to Kingdom, since Ryuya is a King.)
Whenever the King has need, the warriors of parallel worlds Camelot and Uruk are born into the world.
The majestic figure's casual clothes had somehow changed into a pure white formal attire. The golden cloak was full of mysterious patterns.
Erupting with the majesty and elegance of a King, Ryuya stepped forward.
Golden light scattered across the world. The setting sun itself burst forth with dazzling radiance at this moment.
As the countless heroic spirit army appeared, through the Earth King's ability, Ryuya could instantly spread the Heroic Spirits throughout Tokyo.
"Kill!"
Wielding Noble Phantasms granted by the Earth King, the powerful Heroic Spirits instantly formed warrior phalanxes, slaughtering all the Cursed Spirits.
As for the powerful Special Grade Cursed Spirits, the chieftains of the non-human races naturally handled them.
As vast magical energy poured into all of Tokyo, the battle that enveloped the entire city ended in an instant.
Looking up at the false Suguru standing on a building, Ryuya smiled, "Any other tricks? Use them all to amuse me."
"You... what kind of person are you?"
Feeling the Cursed Spirits he controlled vanishing at a crazy rate, the false Suguru couldn't believe his accumulations over the years were completely destroyed in such a short time.
Looking at that King exuding majesty and gold, he didn't know how to describe his feelings.
Throughout his experience, he had never seen such a powerful existence.
So, what was all this...
"Who am I? I am the Beast that destroys worlds."
Beast of the Apocalypse, Devour Heaven and Earth!
Swallowing the false Suguru whole into his body, Ryuya didn't much like using this move.
Although the Beast of the Apocalypse's true body wasn't his own, eating things randomly seemed pretty disgusting to him.
But there was no choice. For someone like the false Suguru, even if the True Ancestor Bloodline controlled his body, his mind wouldn't submit.
And dark magecraft, like the methods he used to control Clue and Matou Zouken, they could only control beings with relatively weaker mental strength.
For an old monster like the false Suguru who had lived over a thousand years, magecraft clearly wasn't effective enough either.
So, just like when he devoured the Machine Gods Justice and Prosperity, Ryuya obtained all of the false Suguru's knowledge.
Ending the battle, he snapped his fingers.
The shopping street, already destroyed and shattered, began restoring at a bizarre speed.
Already very familiar with manipulating time rules, Ryuya returned the destroyed street to its state before the destruction. As for the ordinary people, he didn't interfere.
After all, rewinding time for such a large number of humans required immense magical energy.
Although Ryuya didn't value that energy much, he wasn't a nanny to care so meticulously for humans who weren't his subjects.
These people had no casualties, just got scared. Except for the unlucky ones in the café, no other ordinary people died.
Restoring the shopping street was just Ryuya thinking about bringing other girls shopping later.
He couldn't have the place under renovation for months, losing their familiar shopping spot, right?
After doing all this, Ryuya ignored Yuji. He simply shed the Buff of the Lord of the End and returned to Arcueid and Altrouge's side.
Amid his daughters' cheers of 'Papa is amazing!', he prepared to continue their fun.
But before that-
"Sir, thank you for your actions earlier. May I ask, did you... with Geto Suguru..."
Swallowing hard, Yuji wasn't stupid. Seeing the false Suguru disappear, he remembered this person was said by his teacher Gojo to be one of the most dangerous individuals.
He wanted to say something to Ryuya, but found the other party seemed uninterested.
"If you have something to tell me, have your teacher, Gojo Satoru come. You're still too young, child."
Leaving these words, Ryuya left with the Brunestud Sisters, Yukino, and Eriri.
"Call Sensei? That's right, Sensei!"
Staring blankly at Ryuya's departing back, Yuji suddenly realized his most urgent task was to contact Gojo.
As for the rest, that could be dealt with later.
