"Older Sister!!!"
Gojo Satoru watched in shock at the site of destruction, blasted by Kenjaku. Due to the overwhelming amount of Cursed Energy, even with his Rikugan, he couldn't see through it to find his Older Sister.
The qualitative change of Cursed Energy.
Thus ignoring Limitless Defense.
An abundance of Cursed Techniques.
Thus creating a tricky information gap.
One hundred million Cursed Energy.
Thus transforming into endless firepower.
Kenjaku's maniacal laughter mixed with the sounds of explosive bombardment. Gojo Satoru clenched his fists, Cursed Energy swirling around them.
"Stop this..."
Just as Gojo Satoru was about to charge at Kenjaku, intending to force him to cease fire with an offensive strike, a hand appeared from behind him and rested on his shoulder.
"Hmm?"
After a brief moment of surprise, Gojo Satoru instinctively turned his head, only to see his Older Sister, whom he had thought was in the center of the explosion, standing calmly right there.
For a moment, Gojo Satoru's gaze flickered between the explosive chaos Kenjaku was unleashing and Chinatsu standing behind him, as if three large question marks had appeared above his head.
Seeing Gojo Satoru's bewildered expression, Chinatsu couldn't help but let out a soft laugh, but she quickly cleared her throat and became serious again.
Although Kenjaku had transformed into this divine Buddha-like body through assimilation with one hundred million people, suddenly gaining such immense power was not without a price.
With every passing second, Kenjaku's original consciousness became more unstable. The previous Kenjaku, though a prankster, at least had his own set of logical thoughts, but this logical framework was now gradually being stripped away.
Chinatsu and Gojo had a countdown.
Kenjaku also had a countdown.
The difference was that Kenjaku didn't care about his own countdown; as long as his goal was achieved, the complete disappearance of his self-awareness was irrelevant. Chinatsu and Gojo, however, had to care about the countdown concerning the lives of one hundred million people.
As Chinatsu and Gojo pondered countermeasures with grave expressions, the crazed Kenjaku, who had been wildly attacking the air, finally calmed down slightly, turning his head to look at the two of them.
"Are you two discussing tactics to defeat me? You can, you know. I can give you time, as much as you need."
Kenjaku said this lightly. Chinatsu and Gojo naturally understood the true intention behind Kenjaku's words; after all, both sides were short on time, and giving time to the opponent also meant giving time to themselves.
"Older Sister, cooperate with me."
"Mmm... alright."
Hearing Gojo Satoru's words beside her, Chinatsu first gave him a quietly surprised glance, then nodded and gave a soft response.
The two stood shoulder to shoulder. The last time they fought side by side was during their school days, facing the monster that appeared when Tengen's evolution went awry.
Last time, it was a close call, but they were safe.
This time, it would be the same.
"Cursed Technique Lapse: Blue - Maximum Output!"
Chinatsu raised both her hands, her eyes fixed on Kenjaku, and clenched her raised hands tightly.
Immediately, the entire surrounding area was affected by intense gravitational pull. Countless huge fragments were swept up, forming a chaotic tornado with the divine Buddha Kenjaku at its center.
Kenjaku showed no panic at the sight. This technique, though seemingly terrifying, was merely one application of Limitless Void: Blue. Compared to its outward appearance, the strength of this tornado was not optimistic.
"Disperse."
Kenjaku once again activated an ability similar to Cursed Speech. The previously intense tornado immediately began to destabilize, its rotation speed gradually decreasing, downgrading from a tornado to a vortex.
Countless clear gravitational spheres hung in various corners of the air, maintaining only the minimum amount of gravity to keep them stable.
This somewhat bizarre situation made Kenjaku feel a bit puzzled, but before he could figure out Chinatsu's intention, Gojo Satoru rapidly charged towards him.
"Cursed Technique Reversal: Red."
A crimson projectile, almost without any charge-up, shot from Gojo Satoru's fingertip. This strike did not target Kenjaku's body, but instead hit one of the Blues next to Kenjaku.
A low-power Purple exploded beside Kenjaku with a bang, inflicting relatively low damage while stirring up thick smoke in the air.
Kenjaku waved his arm to disperse the smoke, and Gojo Satoru wiggled his fingers, once again causing an explosion and stirring up smoke.
Not very damaging.
Extremely insulting.
Kenjaku's face twitched as he raised an open palm towards the front and moved his lips.
"Come here!"
Immediately, Gojo Satoru briefly felt he had lost control of his body. His original trajectory instantly changed, and his destination became the center of Kenjaku's massive palm.
Just as Kenjaku thought he was about to grasp Gojo Satoru in his palm, Gojo Satoru's trajectory changed again.
However, this was not the result of Gojo Satoru controlling his own body, but rather a third party applying a new force to Gojo Satoru.
Indeed, it was Chinatsu.
These floating Blues in the air were not merely tools to assist Gojo Satoru in releasing Red to form low-power Purples; rather, this apparent effect was actually a trap.
After all, Kenjaku had an ability similar to Cursed Speech. If Kenjaku thought these Blues were dangerous and could clear them all at once, it would be disastrous.
With Gojo Satoru unable to move freely, Chinatsu forcibly altered Gojo Satoru's flight path using those Blues that could emit strong suction.
In an instant, Gojo Satoru was sent by Chinatsu to Kenjaku's massive Buddha-like face. Gojo Satoru then swung his fist, which had accumulated a considerable amount of Cursed Energy.
Bang!!!
The lucky Black Flash once again favored Gojo Satoru. Last time, his Black Flash had shocked the palm of Kenjaku's divine Buddha-like body, and this time, the black lightning bloomed on his cheek.
Kenjaku stumbled backward as if about to fall, kicking up clouds of dust. The sound he made was not so much the thud of his steps, but rather his powerful wails.
And when Kenjaku regained his balance, cracks, like those of shattering glass art, spread across the area on his cheek where Gojo Satoru's Black Flash had struck.
However, this time, these marks did not heal. Instead, like a broken artifact, golden Buddha-face fragments peeled off and fell downwards, one after another.
From within the golden Buddha body, a hideous devil's face was completely exposed, and people across the nation connected by black lines all let out cries of agony.
One thought, become Buddha.
One thought, become Devil.
Buddha and Devil are but a thin line apart,
But perhaps Kenjaku never became a Buddha from the very beginning.
