"The world's corrective force, the protagonist's luck—it all has its limits."
"Now, nothing can stop me. There is nothing in this world that can stop me anymore!"
Pitch-black Cursed Energy flowed from the opening in the sky, forming a black, humanoid mass—nothing more than a humanoid shape.
"What in the world is that?"
The group, who had just breathed a sigh of relief after dealing with the President, felt a physiological terror the moment they saw it, overcome with an urge to flee immediately.
It completely transcended human comprehension; its mere existence was impossible to understand.
Gojo Satoru instinctively activated his detector. The green monocle shattered the instant it observed the entity, its power far exceeding the device's detection range!
Everyone present was strong-willed, yet upon seeing it, they couldn't muster the courage to oppose it. A voice deep inside them screamed for them to run.
"A pleasure to meet you. I am the aggregate of all the world's Cursed Energy. You may call me—The All-Evil of this World."
The humanoid shadow spoke. Its voice sounded like a man and a woman, an adult and a child, a saint and a sinner... like the amalgamation of countless people.
What was The All-Evil of this World? They all wanted to ask, but under its immense pressure, they couldn't even speak.
"[Greeting] A pleasure to meet you, The All-Evil of this World. I am Schwarzer."
The one capable of conversing with it was clearly not one of them. The All-Evil of this World hadn't even deigned to look at them from the very beginning.
High above in the sky, Schwarzer's true form descended. She was the one the entity sought to address.
"Thank you for your help, outsider. Without you, my birth would have been impossible."
"As payment, I can cede this 'Cursed Energy' to you, in exchange for you leaving this world."
As the aggregate of all humanity's negative emotions, it was invincible in this world. However, Schwarzer was not a being of this world.
As long as humans lived, they would ceaselessly generate negative emotions. Under the laws of this jujutsu world, these negative emotions formed Cursed Energy, so it had no desire for conflict with Schwarzer.
It had already confirmed that Schwarzer's goal was 'Cursed Energy.' The purpose of Hanami and the Divine Tree was to act as tools to purify and collect Cursed Energy, converting it into a 'fruit.'
The will of Cursed Energy was an existence similar to the Alaya consciousness. No being from this world could escape its control. Of course, it was purely 'evil'—an Alaya consciousness of negative emotions.
Since its birth, it had already merged with the subconscious of every human. Therefore, even if it gave all the Cursed Energy to Schwarzer, it wouldn't matter; as long as humanity existed, it would not disappear.
For it and Schwarzer, this was a 'win-win.' But for humanity, losing their only hope would mean an utterly miserable future. After all, all it wanted was negative emotions.
"You can't... Don't agree to it..."
Realizing this, Gojo Satoru used all his strength, and with the help of his Reverse Cursed Technique and Senjutsu Chakra, he finally resisted its oppressive aura and managed to speak.
"You still have the strength to speak? Is this the power of the 'protagonist'?"
Gojo Satoru had been reinforced by Senjutsu Chakra, and by constantly being around Naruto, a being of great luck, the world's focus on him had surpassed that on Sukuna, successfully usurping the protagonist's role from the 'Sukuna Kaisen.'
If Schwarzer were to agree, it would be a disaster for all of humanity.
He could only place his hope in his own intuition.
From the very first time he met Schwarzer, he believed she wasn't a bad person. Even though she had orchestrated everything from behind the scenes, he still believed this.
Gojo Satoru had realized that the so-called Culling Game was nothing more than a sociological experiment of hers. Kakashi's resurrection, in particular, had verified this, and he had even brought back information that everyone could be resurrected.
Faced with Gojo Satoru's 'persuasion,' Schwarzer fell silent for a moment, as if weighing the pros and cons, but...
"[Denial] I refuse. If I take you down, everything will be mine anyway."
What kind of small fry dared to negotiate with her? It was just the negative emotions of all humanity. If pushed, she'd burn the core data and wipe out the entire planet.
Of course, she would never actually do that; it would make this entire transmigration a net loss. As long as the 'negative emotions' were made to disappear, The All-Evil of this World would naturally cease to exist.
"To get rid of me, you would have to eliminate all 'humans' on the planet. Wouldn't the loss outweigh the gain?"
The All-Evil of this World couldn't understand. It had made an offer tailored to her interests. In theory, even with disagreements, they should have been able to negotiate. There was no need for a life-or-death struggle, was there?
Schwarzer couldn't be bothered to explain. It wasn't necessary to eliminate humanity to destroy it. She had another option: eliminate all negative emotions.
It sounded incredibly far-fetched, but didn't she have someone under her command who was aiming for that very goal?
"Sorry to keep you waiting. Absorbing and mastering the power of the Divine Tree was more difficult than expected. It took me quite some time."
Speak of the devil. Uchiha Obito, wearing his white mask, appeared on the battlefield. Kakashi instantly recognized him as the one who had resurrected him.
But his eyes were different from before. Obito's eyes now had the ripples of the Rinnegan, combined with the red appearance and tomoe of the Sharingan. After absorbing the power of the Divine Tree, he had successfully awakened the Rinne Sharingan—the power belonging to Kaguya Otsutsuki.
Uchiha Obito wanted to create a world without pain. In such a world, naturally, no negative emotions would exist.
"It isn't necessary to kill all humans to deal with you. As long as we can eliminate everyone's negative emotions, you will naturally 'die.' And it just so happens I have an excellent method for that."
Obito had overheard their entire conversation. Possessing the Rinne Sharingan, he now had a right to a seat at the table, unaffected by the oppressive aura of The All-Evil of this World.
"That method is the Infinite Tsukuyomi. It will allow everyone to live in a world of their own liking, free from any and all suffering."
His voice sounded incredibly joyful. The obsession he had held for so long was about to be realized in this world.
It was indeed a solution. Gojo Satoru had experienced the Tsukuyomi genjutsu and knew just how 'wonderful' that world could be. But no matter how wonderful, it wasn't the real world!
However, he also knew that if given a real choice, most people would undoubtedly choose the world of genjutsu.
It was like the trolley problem: on one side, being farmed for negative emotions by The All-Evil of this World; on the other, being trapped in a world of genjutsu, drowning in a beautiful illusion...
The only 'good news' was that he didn't have to make the choice. He was just a passerby holding a toilet plunger, with no right to choose at all.
Obito gazed up at the blood-red moon in the sky. The entire celestial body had transformed into the shape of the Rinne Sharingan.
He held it in, and held it in again, but how could he possibly restrain such feelings...?
"Hahahahahaha!"
Under the gazes of everyone looking at him as if he were a madman, Uchiha Obito's laughter became that of Uchiha Madara.
The final Cursed Technique, the Infinite Tsukuyomi, was activated.
