"Did you not believe in so-called hope from the very beginning, Gojo Satoru?"
Amidst the pure white light, Gojo Satoru lay motionless on the ground, completely exhausted.
"Human feelings and emotions can be guided. When it comes down to it, the vast majority of people are blind followers.
"Wasn't it spectacular? In the end, what destroyed it wasn't hope, but an even stronger negative emotion."
Inside the pure white void, Schwarzer sensed the essence of Cursed Energy and these emotions that were almost tangible.
There were few positive emotions. All the World's Evil was right; negative emotions made up far too large a proportion.
But even among negative emotions, there are differences. What destroyed it was the emotions of Gojo Satoru, Naruto, and the others, as well as the 'curse' from all of humanity.
The emotion and power that erupt when one's life is threatened are incredibly strong. Rather than calling it hope, it was a curse upon All the World's Evil itself.
The hatred of all humanity erased its will, and now Cursed Energy has reverted to its previous form.
"While I certainly didn't think humanity could really erupt with such strong positive emotions, this result is still quite disheartening~"
It was humanity's negative emotions that saved humanity. The thought brought a self-deprecating smile to Gojo Satoru's face.
Schwarzer, on the other hand, wasn't too surprised. For all of humanity to work together and burst forth with hope in such a desperate situation—the only ones she could think of capable of that were the humans from the world of Ultraman Tiga.
That incredibly fantastical world where global peace was achievable.
The humans of Jujutsu Kaisen were clearly incapable of it, but the unique 'curse' of their world also amazed Schwarzer.
But now was not the time to discuss such things. She had already collected enough data; it was time to complete her final mission.
"So, Gojo Satoru, what is your wish?"
"Is there any need to ask? Resurrect everyone. Everyone who died in this Culling Game."
"Then, your wish is about to be granted."
The white space began to collapse. Without All the World's Evil, the connection between the imaginary world of Cursed Energy and reality completely vanished. No one would be able to enter here again.
Watching Gojo Satoru leave, Schwarzer looked down at the stack of cards in her hand. The core data harvested this time could be described as a stack, soon to break the three-digit mark.
'An Evil of Survival Stronger than All the World's Evil'
'The End of the Culling Game'
'Humanity's Savior'
'The Nine-Tails' Resolve'...
Just by looking at the names, she could guess the events each piece of core data represented. But the most important thing was—
"The 'fruit' of Cursed Energy has been extracted, Host."
A mass of pitch-black light floated before Schwarzer. It was nearly all the Cursed Energy in this world.
"This thing contains too many negative emotions. Using it directly could very well affect your mind, Host."
"It is recommended to find a safe world to use it. This system can filter out the emotions within, but it will take a very long time. During this period, the Host will need to shut down."
"[Summary] So in other words, I need to find a safe world and then take a nap?"
"That is correct."
After all, it was the power of an entire world, and it was needed to repair something as sensitive and intricate as the soul. Schwarzer quickly accepted the recommendation.
But before that, she had to fulfill her promise.
Schwarzer closed and opened her eyes, which transformed into a pair of Rinnegan. She then drew a few core data cards with less-than-pleasant names and used them directly as fuel, converting them into a massive amount of Chakra.
And so, a miracle was born. The dead began to be resurrected.
Filthy rich with resources, Schwarzer no longer needed to pinch pennies. Nearly a hundred pieces of core data was her confidence!
After doing all this, she opened a portal and gathered Obito and the others.
Sasuke's expression was complex upon seeing Itachi Uchiha again, but he didn't attack him directly. He had understood a great deal from his brother's attitude before his death.
"[Notification] The mission is complete. It's time to send you back. Get ready."
Schwarzer was eager to repair her soul and was in a hurry to send them back.
"Why did you resurrect me?" Itachi Uchiha asked, confused. He had been prepared to die before he acted, but he never expected Schwarzer to resurrect him as well, even restoring his eyes.
Since she was in a good mood, she even upgraded him directly to an Eternal Mangekyo. After all, once the Sharingan was fully analyzed, it was no longer profitable.
"[Perfunctory] Why so many questions? Someone's wish was to resurrect everyone who died in the Culling Game. Are you not a person?"
"[Persuasion] Anything is possible as long as you're alive. Let me tell you a little secret: the power of the Rinnegan can resurrect the dead."
"Instead of escaping through death, why not think of a way to atone for the mistakes you've made?"
Schwarzer was, of course, referring to a certain someone's village massacre, and another's 'dutiful student' act.
"After we go back, you're going to explain everything to me," Sasuke said, looking at Itachi Uchiha.
He needed to know the truth of the massacre from all those years ago. His hatred, festering for so long, couldn't be quelled just by killing one Itachi Uchiha.
"..." Faced with his dear younger brother, Itachi Uchiha could only remain silent.
His strength was indeed sufficient to learn the truth. Sasuke with his Eternal Mangekyo, Naruto as a perfect jinchuriki, Kakashi with dual Kamui—this level of power was practically invincible in the current ninja world.
'Alright, I'm opening the world barrier. Get ready.'
Schwarzer nodded. The system's power was as unfathomable as ever. With her confirmation, space shattered before them.
On the other side of the fractured space was the place they had left: the road from the Land of Waves to Konoha.
"Well then, goodbye. I hope we don't have the chance to meet again."
Uchiha Obito waved farewell to Schwarzer. He had no desire to go through another otherworldly adventure.
Just as he was stepping into the spatial rift, Schwarzer had a sudden idea and placed a card in his hand.
'Miracle of Sacrifice'
'Throw yourself into a situation of certain death to exchange it for a final miracle. It is the power to save everything.'
A piece of core data. This wasn't something only she could use; others could use it too, though they would most likely die after using it.
After all, the way to use core data was to ignite it with one's soul as the flame. A normal person would have to offer up their own soul to use it.
"[Explanation] This is the power of a miracle. Consider it a gift."
Upon receiving it, Obito naturally understood its use. He didn't know if it was a built-in feature or Schwarzer's wicked sense of humor, but the item bound to him the instant he touched it.
Only he could use it—by sacrificing and burning his own soul, of course.
Obito knew she wouldn't give this to him for no reason, and his expression turned strange.
Is there something in the ninja world that even their current power can't handle?
"Bye-bye now." Schwarzer shoved him into the spatial rift and then closed it.
She couldn't wait to enter the next world. As for the aftermath of the Culling Game, she would leave that for Gojo Satoru and the others to solve. Life finds a way.
"The next world has been found. Shall I open the world barrier now?"
"Of course!"
With the disappearance of the spatial rift, all outsiders left this world.
