Actually, when watching strong individuals fight, the most important thing is observing their methods of Cursed Technique application.
That is a much more convenient way than blindly figuring out moves on one's own.
This was what Kenmyo thought before the two of them started fighting, but once he actually watched them clash, he changed his mind.
There were no large buildings visible nearby anymore; Gojo Satoru's Domain Expansion had instantly crushed and destroyed all of them.
"It failed."
As Kenmyo watched the suddenly appearing shrine, filled with an eerie aura, forcefully shatter Gojo Satoru's Domain, Limitless Void, he had only this thought.
He recalled what Gojo Satoru had said before the fight.
"I am Gojo Satoru; I will definitely win."
Thinking about it now, that statement was practically waving death flags.
Perhaps one shouldn't speak too confidently.
Currently, Kenmyo wasn't feeling too optimistic about Gojo Satoru.
Having your Domain shattered directly by an opponent is certainly not a good omen.
But in Kenmyo's view, Gojo Satoru had definitely taken this battle seriously, fighting with all his might from the very beginning.
It just felt too sudden.
"How is this possible!"
All Jujutsu Sorcerer had absolute confidence in Gojo Satoru, believing that Ryomen Sukuna was just an old relic from a thousand years ago, and facing Gojo Satoru would be a guaranteed slaughter, right?
But reality slapped them across the face.
The Limitless Void, which symbolized absolute invincibility, had actually shattered. This was a severe blow to the confidence of the Jujutsu Sorcerer present.
"Gojo Satoru has appeared, everyone look!"
One person exclaimed.
This instantly pulled everyone's almost frozen thoughts back to reality. Instead of guessing, they should see what Gojo Satoru looked like.
However, the first thing that greeted their eyes was Ryomen Sukuna's face, laughing wildly, as the arrogant fellow sat atop the shrine, enjoying a perfect vantage point.
Ryomen Sukuna, perched high above, looked down upon Gojo Satoru below, like an arrogant deity observing a challenger who didn't know his place.
Gojo Satoru, who had just called Ryomen Sukuna his challenger, was now in a rare state of disarray.
He stared at the opponent across from him with wide, fierce eyes.
"You bastard."
But before he could finish his sentence, a distinct and extremely gruesome wound appeared on Gojo Satoru's neck, almost severing his entire head.
Furthermore, it wasn't just his neck; gruesome wounds suddenly appeared all over Gojo Satoru's body, ripping his clothes to shreds. Gojo Satoru's blood immediately stained the fractured ground crimson.
Due to the pain, Gojo Satoru's expression became distorted. This vicious slash forced back all the words he hadn't managed to speak.
This was the effect of Ryomen Sukuna's Domain!
Although Gojo Satoru's Domain had been shattered, Ryomen Sukuna's Domain had not, and it was still active!
Just as he was about to be decapitated and torn apart, Gojo Satoru forcefully held his head and activated Reverse Cursed Technique, instantly healing the incredibly gruesome wounds all over his body.
If it weren't for his tattered clothes, it would look like he hadn't been injured at all.
Seeing this move, Kenmyo was utterly impressed.
"As long as he heals the wounds before the total damage is calculated, he hasn't been injured at all."
It poses no difficulty for him.
However, there was something that struck Kenmyo as strange: even if Gojo Satoru's Domain was shattered, it shouldn't have caused Limitless to stop working, right?
Another strange point was that Gojo Satoru only retreated several steps when attacked; he didn't instantly teleport.
Gojo Satoru's Limitless allows for high-speed movement, similar to the compression of spatial coordinates.
Logically, as soon as he was attacked, Gojo Satoru should have immediately retreated out of the attack range and reached a safe location.
That is, instantly teleporting away the moment he received the first slash that cut his neck would have been the correct judgment.
But that guy didn't use it.
"Gojo Satoru, what the hell is he doing?"
Kenmyo didn't understand.
"It was Cursed Technique Overload, caused by the Domain being destroyed instantly."
A corresponding explanation reached Kenmyo's ear. When he turned around, he saw a bald, middle-aged man with a very serious expression, wearing goggles even late at night, and dressed in a Tokyo Jujutsu High teacher's uniform.
"Teacher Principal Yaga?"
Yaga Masamichi's attire was very distinctive, so even though the guy was bald and aged, Kenmyo recognized him immediately.
"You know me?"
Yaga Masamichi was slightly stunned. Hearing his name called, he had originally intended to introduce himself.
"Gojo Satoru mentioned you earlier."
Kenmyo shook his head.
"Is that so."
Yaga Masamichi didn't dwell on how a boy he had never met knew him, but instead offered him solemn thanks.
"Thank you for saving them just now."
Yaga Masamichi was thanking him for saving the students and graduates of Jujutsu High.
Otherwise, their current batch of students might have suffered heavy casualties, especially Fushiguro Megumi, who encountered a Special Grade Cursed Spirit.
"And Panda, thank you for looking after him."
"Panda?"
Kenmyo was surprised by that name.
Yaga Masamichi pointed into the distance and said with a smile.
"That panda over there."
Kenmyo looked over and saw that the panda was timidly hiding in the woods, afraid to approach.
"It's nothing, just a small favor."
Kenmyo knew that Yaga Masamichi was always a man with a stern face but a kind heart. He probably treated that Panda Cursed Corpse as his own child, which is why he hadn't been harsh on the panda.
"What does Cursed Technique Overload, which you just mentioned, mean?"
In Kenmyo's timeline, let alone research on Domains...
He hadn't even seen anyone else use a Domain Expansion.
If Kenmyo wanted to find information about Domains, he could only search in his Kamo Family library.
But it seemed there was no record of a Kamo ancestor using Blood Manipulation to open a Domain, which was extremely frustrating for him.
Perhaps the research on Domains wasn't as detailed as it is in the current timeline he is in.
"Cursed Technique Overload means that if a Domain is violently broken by someone else, the user will be unable to use any Cursed Techniques for a period of time."
Therefore, it wasn't that Gojo Satoru didn't want to use Limitless to leave the spot; he simply couldn't do it.
"Then isn't Gojo Satoru doomed?"
Being unable to use any Cursed Techniques is like a squishy character fighting the enemy's tank.
Seeing that Kenmyo still didn't understand the knowledge related to Domains, Yaga Masamichi gave him a brief introduction.
"Gojo's Domain is a Closed Domain, while Ryomen Sukuna's is an Open Domain."
A Closed Domain is like a sphere, directly wrapping the opponent and oneself inside a Cursed Energy sphere, then activating the sure-hit effect of the Domain against the enemies.
Jogo, Dagon, and even Kenmyo himself, all have this type of Domain.
As for Open Domains, currently Ryomen Sukuna is the only example.
An Open Domain has a greater range of technique application than a Closed Domain, is not constrained by a Domain barrier, and thus has no physical form.
"Gojo's Limitless Void. It cannot be easily shattered from the inside, but the outer barrier is quite fragile compared to the interior."
"If it is subjected to a certain degree of external force, it is particularly easy to shatter."
However, it's not something just anyone can break through; at the very least, it would require the power of that shrine, imbued with Ryomen Sukuna's Cursed Energy, crashing down.
"Gojo, this fight won't be easy."
Yaga Masamichi's expression was grim.
Ryomen Sukuna is clearly a guy from a thousand years ago, yet his application of Domains seems to be no less sophisticated than that of modern people.
"So how long will this Cursed Technique Overload last?"
Kenmyo inquired.
If Gojo Satoru had to fight Ryomen Sukuna without Limitless, then Kenmei might as well step in himself.
This guy is essentially stuck with all his abilities on cooldown after using two ultimate moves.
But Kenmyo is different.
Even if Cursed Technique Overload occurs, he isn't afraid. If Cursed Techniques are unusable, he can still use Psychic Spells.
After all, before being a Jujutsu Sorcerer, Kenmyo was a Psyker; that is his true specialty.
"I don't know."
Yaga Masamichi shook his head.
"The duration of Cursed Technique Overload is entirely dependent on the individual."
Perhaps some might find it strange: why is Gojo Satoru in a state of Cursed Technique burnout, yet still able to use Reverse Cursed Technique?
Kenmyo knew the answer to this, because Reverse Cursed Technique, strictly speaking, is not a Cursed Technique itself, but rather a manipulation of Cursed Energy.
Thinking of this, Kenmyo said something enigmatic in front of Yaga Masamichi.
"Should we switch people?"
This, of course, wasn't directed at Yaga Masamichi, but at Gojo Satoru, who was far away on the most intense battlefield against Ryomen Sukuna.
"I'll hold out for you for a bit, then you can go back in after your Cursed Technique recovers."
Kenmyo offered a suggestion.
To be honest, it was quite embarrassing for Gojo Satoru to be beaten to such a state, and it was even live-streamed.
Gojo Satoru might not feel it on the battlefield, but if he put himself in his shoes, he would feel incredibly awkward for Gojo Satoru.
It was a good thing Kenmyo didn't charge Jujutsu Sorcerer for tickets, otherwise, everyone present would probably be shouting for refunds.
The strongest in the Jujutsu World, beaten to this extent, and targeted everywhere—it was quite something.
"No, I can still fight!"
Gojo Satoru hadn't been this crude since becoming a teacher, which showed how furious he was right now.
Gojo Satoru's Reverse Cursed Technique was constantly activating. This was because Ryomen Sukuna's Domain, Malevolent Shrine, was continuously unleashing thousands, even tens of thousands, of slashes at him, almost within a single second.
These slashes had almost turned his entire body into a bloody gourd, unrecognizable as human. It was a sight that made one feel particularly pained.
But even so, Gojo Satoru didn't retreat a single step.
"I'm very angry right now."
He even said it through gritted teeth.
"And if we look at Cursed Technique performance, I have the upper hand, holding an overwhelming advantage."
"6"
Hearing this, Kenmyo even recalled something a bald man once said.
"The advantage is mine in this round."
"Gojo Satoru, this guy is so old, can't he change?"
Kenmyo turned to look at Yaga Masamichi beside him.
Yaga Masamichi was quite helpless about his student's temperament. He shook his head and said,
"Let him be."
However, Gojo Satoru's insistence only made Kenmyo think he was a bit foolish.
Cut into a bloody mess, unrecognizable, yet still so confident. Should he really be called Gojo Satoru?
Seeing that his Domain couldn't temporarily deal with the opponent, Ryomen Sukuna simply leaped down from the shrine.
He arrived in front of Gojo Satoru at an incredibly fast speed and began to assault him with punches and kicks.
"Perfect timing."
Gojo Satoru's face, completely stained red with blood, was unrecognizable. Only his pair of azure Six Eyes still shone brightly.
He directly slammed a heavy punch into Ryomen Sukuna's face and said coldly,
"My Limitless Void."
"Yuji took the Limitless Void for you, didn't he?"
Ryomen Sukuna crossed his arms to block Gojo Satoru's attack, speaking in a mocking tone.
"Yes, that useless brat was only good for that."
Previously, within the range of Limitless Void, Gojo Satoru clearly remembered that he had indeed used the sure-hit effect of his Cursed Technique on that guy, but that guy acted as if nothing had happened.
Without even a slight delay, he directly summoned Malevolent Shrine.
According to his calculations, Ryomen Sukuna's brain should have crashed for at least a minute. Converting 2.2 seconds to half a year meant ten seconds would inject 150 years of junk information into Ryomen Sukuna's brain.
But forget twenty years, he adapted in less than a second.
How could it be that simple?
It wasn't until Gojo Satoru's Limitless Void was shattered by Ryomen Sukuna's Malevolent Shrine that he finally understood what had happened in that instant.
The answer to the problem was particularly clear: that guy used Yuji Itadori's mind to take the attack from Limitless Void.
It was equivalent to transferring the damage. Yuji Itadori was Ryomen Sukuna's vessel, and they shared one body. He just didn't know by what means the damage was directly transferred, essentially harming his own person.
"Speaking of which, I should thank you."
Ryomen Sukuna mocked Gojo Satoru.
"Originally, I was worried that this kid might wake up at some point and contend with me for control of the body."
Previously, Ryomen Sukuna had gone berserk, but Yuji Itadori's sudden awakening and complete suppression of him was very annoying.
So, this time there should be no such worries. Yuji Itadori completely took his teacher's Limitless Void.
Even if he had a thick skull, or if Ryomen Sukuna were to switch bodies, he probably wouldn't wake up then.
Limitless Void causes irreversible brain damage to humans, and it also has a particularly powerful effect on Cursed Spirits.
Ryomen Sukuna made no secret of mocking Gojo Satoru's incompetence, deploying his ultimate move in a race against time, only for it to affect his own student.
"After taking this sleeping pill from your teacher, he should sleep very soundly, right?"
Gojo Satoru didn't reply, his expression terrifyingly cold.
As the two exchanged blows, buildings were shattered by their monstrous strength.
Even without the enhancement of Cursed Energy, he could still fight Ryomen Sukuna blow for blow.
About this, Kenmyo truly didn't know what to say.
Jujutsu Sorcerer are indeed Jujutsu Sorcerer.
Are the two of you the strongest because you punched your way to the top? At their level, they're still competing with hand-to-hand combat.
Gojo Satoru can't use Cursed Techniques, and Ryomen Sukuna, you've also monopolized Cursed Techniques.
Ryomen Sukuna picked up a fire extinguisher from the nearby fire-fighting equipment and slammed it hard onto Gojo Satoru's head.
However, the hard canister was blown apart by Gojo Satoru's full force, and the fire-retardant foam inside instantly enveloped the entire hall like a smoke bomb explosion.
Ryomen Sukuna watched as his surroundings were covered in smoke, with extremely low visibility.
Gojo Satoru even used some trinket to reduce his presence, so he disappeared in an instant.
But this was no challenge for Ryomen Sukuna.
"Your hiding means nothing to me."
Ryomen Sukuna grinned ferociously. He wanted to use the cutting ability of his Domain, Malevolent Shrine, but was surprised to find he couldn't activate it.
Gojo Satoru burst out of the smoke, grabbed Ryomen Sukuna, and then, with an extremely agile posture, performed martial arts, going straight for a rear-naked choke on Ryomen Sukuna.
Did he really think he was just going to keep taking punches?
Gojo Satoru had tested that the center of Malevolent Shrine's usage was not Ryomen Sukuna himself as the center, but rather the shrine as the starting point, spreading outwards.
This gave him an opportunity to maneuver.
So, Gojo Satoru had been probing the maximum casting range of Ryomen Sukuna's open Domain, Malevolent Shrine.
A person's Domain cannot extend infinitely like a Curtain. Generally, a casting range exceeding 50 meters is already considered a super-large Domain.
So, Gojo Satoru skillfully led him on, retreating and dodging attacks from Ryomen Sukuna.
Gojo Satoru's legs crossed in a scissor lock around Ryomen Sukuna's neck, attempting a choke. However, it was not as if the strongest Jujutsu Sorcerer from a thousand years ago could be defeated in such a comical manner; that would truly be a masterpiece.
Gojo Satoru's eyes widened, and he directly grabbed Ryomen Sukuna's head.
He mercilessly unleashed the power of Reverse Cursed Technique, giving it his all without reservation: Red!
Instantly, the once spacious living room was illuminated by a red glow.
A terrifying torrent of Cursed Energy erupted from the center of Gojo Satoru's palm. Releasing it at zero distance at such close range would undoubtedly inflict severe damage on the enemy.
The powerful Cursed Technique cannon instantly devoured all buildings within a 500-meter radius in front of Gojo Satoru. The original figures were gone, leaving only a highly curved, semi-circular trajectory.
It still contained a considerably high temperature, sizzling and crackling.
