Cherreads

Chapter 25 - Monochrome

Keith was setting up a jujutsu barrier around the entire city at rapid pace. Right now it was a race for time. At any moment an Otsutsuki could use a Karasuki Type Creature to travel back in time and sabotage the entire mission. The barrier would utilize the limitless technique and light technique to completely isolate and prevent time travel from within it. If the Karasuki type creature was used the limitless technique and light technique would combine their spacetime manipulation capabilities to completely lock down time travel.

Keith continuously used a super wide range foresight within the barrier with his G Warstaff technique to detect any Otsutsuki presence. Keith's strategy was clear, by setting up barriers with a multitude of techniques imbued within them he was going to sweep large areas to find them. Along with Natsumi who had given him a huge boost of good luck.

Jannet herself was already on the move. She had created a completely invisible barrier of psychic energy that was also buffed by Natsumi with good luck around the entire planet.

The routine was set. With Jannet putting the planet under lockdown and Keith gradually sweeping through all of it with his barriers to search for the Otsutsuki. Spacetime jutsu, other dimensions, traces of spacetime manipulation none of it would be able to avoid detection under Keith's barrier or escape Jannet's barrier either.

Kiseki Otsutsuki was laughing. He had noticed how the envoys of the future king had gone on full alert and was searching the entire planet for him. It was only a matter of time before they found him.

"I've gotten quite far this time. I knew I should've killed that Demon King long before the Future King arrived."

He pushed back his hair across his scalp. He noticed a strand of dark black hair that stuck on his robe before flicking it off.

"Prophecy has ruined my plans for the last time. I've had enough of this."

Flesh began to sprout from the ground as sharingan began to float up from the ground. Hundreds of thousands of glowing red sharingans began floating up like a lantern festival.

Keith turned his head as he saw the rising mass ascension of sharingan.

"What the fuck."

Jannet turned towards the direction of the flood of sharingan too with a disgusted expression.

Although the mass ascension of glowing red sharingan was a beautiful sight. It was also grotesque as it was also a bunch of eyeballs floating in the sky.

Suddenly Kiseki appeared behind Keith in a quick back stab maneuver. Keith stepped just out of the attack.

Kiseki decided that teleporting again would be too slow and decided to commit by throwing a chakra rod. However, Keith stepped towards completely ignoring the chakra rod as it was stopped by the limitless before throwing a punch.

BOOM

An explosion rang out with a shockwave pushing back the countless sharingan in the sky and even Jannet who was approaching.

Keith had fully absorbed the templates of all of jujutsu kaisen. However, the maximum powerscaling for Jujutsu Kaisen templates was firmly in place with Modulo Yuji and Dabura. No planetary scaling like with the Otsutsuki. 

However, Keith was the exception. Combining the output and total cursed energy of all his templates his base taijutsu combat was easily able to keep up with nearly any Otsutsuki. What made Keith a true powerhouse was his signature cursed technique combo. Star Rage, Projection Sorcery, Light, Antigravity system reversal, Ratio, And the Limitless's Red. Keith had mastered the simultaneous use of all these techniques at once for his every attack and the result was this.

A massive mushroom cloud formed in the sky as all that was left was a huge crater surrounding Keith that went as far as the eye could see. Kiseki Otsutsuki had completely disintegrated.

Keith cracked his knuckles. Star Rage and Light alone easily made him planetary considering he was hitting with the literal weight of a star at literal relativistic speeds. Otherwise he wouldn't have even met the baseline qualification to join this elite transmigrator squad.

"That was easy."

Keith felt a hand grabbing his ankle. He looked down at a regenerating Natsumi who was regenerating from seemingly nothing. Natsumi stared at Keith's eye's with a look he couldn't quite discern.

"You jinxed it!"

All the sharingan still in the air that had survived the nuclear blast equivalent of a punch began glowing an even more intense red than before. Keith sent out a dismantle that would destroy all the sharingan before they did whatever they were going to do.

The word turned grey and everything froze.

They eyes continued to float around as if time itself had not been stopped. Every one of them transformed from the various tomoe they were before into many distinct mangekyo patterns. And time began to reverse.

It turned back to the point they arrived as envoys of the future king but it didn't stop. I continued to reverse for years on end rewinding backwards 1 second at a time. It stopped just after the point the Future King left the world after purging it and making himself known.

Kiseki opened his eyes once again.

"DAMN IT!"

Kiseki Otsutsuki punched the tree next to him. Leaving the indent of a fist. He had lost the pale white skin he had before regressing and looked like a normal human teenager.

'Back to the beginning of my Isekai. I'll have to find that mana fruit and meet the ghost of Shibai again.' Kiseki thought to himself as he began walking according to the route he had memorized over dozens of cycles. He knew there was a decently populated city nearby where he could register in a guild. 

'But first I need to find a car road to walk along. Well they don't call those 'rune automata,' cars like in japan. The local language really translates it to something more like automobile.'

'This is the 58th cycle since I first came to this world. Maybe I should do a route with Queen Lacra to control the kingdom? No Grey is surprisingly competent at preventing leeching. Maybe I should abandon the mana fruit this cycle to avoid the prophecy. I still can't fight any of those invaders for a single second.'

Kiseki arrived at a road. He never really knew what to think of the technology this world had. It really kept to the high fantasy aesthetic but with rune automata had modern convenience simultaneously.

"I have 6 years. For this cycle I need to find ways to gain power without the mana fruit. It's been a while since I've engaged with the local warriors and magicians way of doing things."
