"Cursed Spirit! Confess everything you know!" Principal Gakuganji straightened his frail, aged body, casting a cold gaze at White Zetsu.
"Hey, Baldy with White Eyebrows." Zetsu nestled deeper into Panda's arms, acting defiantly. "Your Grandpa Zetsu is a man of steel! You old codger, you think you can get me to confess? You're dreaming in broad daylight! Look at your eyebrows... they're like Eels."
"What's wrong? A mudfish that got a little seawater on its skin thinks it's seafood now?" A cloud of white smoke rose from his mouth as Zetsu glared disdainfully at the Principal.
"You trash..." Gakuganji trembled. An unusual flush of rage rose on his face. "Talking to your superior like that?" He silently unzipped the black case on his back. Cursed Energy surged into his electric guitar.
"Yo~" Zetsu laughed. "You may be old, but you're young at heart! You're quite the character, Old Man! What? Planning to dedicate a song to Master Zetsu?"
"Zetsu! Stop talking!" Panda hissed. "This is troublesome!"
...
Gakuganji's gaze shifted. He wasn't just looking at the white annoyance. Blocking Zetsu's path were the Tokyo students—specifically Yuji Itadori. A strange glint flashed in the old man's eyes. 'While Gojo Satoru is trapped or distracted... I can deal with Sukuna's Vessel at the same time.'
Gakuganji's fingers hovered over the guitar strings. He prepared to unleash a lethal sonic blast.
WHOOSH!
A pale blue beam of Cursed Energy whistled past from about a meter above his head! BOOM! The wooden Torii gate directly above him exploded, sending rubble and wood chips flying everywhere!
"Old Man. Don't move around." Gojo Satoru's warning rang out from the sky. "If you miss... your bald head is going to explode!"
"Tch!" Gakuganji cursed under his breath. I almost forgot... that guy's mouth isn't exactly clean either.
...
"Looks like you don't really like that old guy either," Gojo retracted his palm to his chest, smiling faintly at Mirai. He had been distracted for a split second to warn Gakuganji.
"It's not worth it for such a small gain," Mirai replied in a nonchalant tone. He knew Gakuganji wanted to kill Yuji. But currently, Yuji's value had not yet been fully realized.
They clashed again. Pure combat without additional techniques. Gojo Satoru's expression appeared relaxed, but a hint of seriousness rose deep within his azure Six Eyes. 'The Ten Shadows Technique... An unknown Special Grade Cursed Spirit killed by his own ally... A Spatial Technique... What exactly is Fake Smile up to?'
"Fine," Gojo decided. "The students are safe. I can stop holding back." He brought one hand in front of his chest. At the same time, Mirai formed a complex hand seal with his drooping arm.
"Domain Expansion: Unlimited Void!"
"Domain Expansion: Final Scenery... Glazed Moon!"
BOOM!
Suspended above the dense forest, a massive, pitch-black sphere expanded, enveloping both figures in the blink of an eye.
...
At the entrance, everyone swallowed hard. Gakuganji lost the will to argue with Zetsu. Apart from White Zetsu, none of the Sorcerers present expected Zenin Mirai to be this powerful. The black outer shell concealed the scene inside. But the sphere trembled violently, specks of Cursed Energy dissipating into the air.
...
An endless expanse of starry sky—the ultimate white and black intertwined (Unlimited Void). A dazzling, crystal-clear world where a blood-red full moon hung in the sky (Glazed Moon). Sharp silver light. Viscous blood color.
Unlimited Void vs. Glazed Moon. Both possessed non-physical instant-kill techniques. Even without the Sure-Hit effect, merely being inside the range was dangerous. The one whose Domain collapsed first... would suffer severe backlash and death.
"You..." Deep in the starry sky, Gojo Satoru grinned wildly! Gojo had always felt a clear boundary separating him from others. He was the Strongest. He was alone. But now... "YOU'RE REALLY GREAT!" Gojo let out an excited roar, fully unleashing his power.
"You're not bad either." Stepping atop the Blood Moon, a genuine smile appeared on Mirai's indifferent face.
BUZZ!
The outer shell of the barrier trembled violently.
CRACK.
Several long, vertical fissures appeared on the black sphere. The cracks spread and twisted...
SHATTER!
The barrier exploded. A deafening roar echoed across the sky as the two Sorcerers returned to reality.
