Yuki Tsukumo's wish was beautiful, but she lacked the ability to fulfill it.
In a sense, Yuki Tsukumo's desire to protect humanity from Cursed Spirits could be considered a form of salvation for humankind.
Much like Kiritsugu Emiya and Shiro Amakusa Tokisada.
Kiritsugu Emiya, due to his painful past, wished for world peace.
Shiro Amakusa Tokisada, having witnessed the cruel realities of war, wanted to save humanity through the Holy Grail.
If Yuki Tsukumo, like those from the Type-Moon universe, treated the Holy Grail as an omnipotent wish-granting machine, she would definitely find a way to seize it and wish for a world without Cursed Spirits.
But the outcome would ultimately be failure.
This is because Yuki Tsukumo lacked the ability to protect the Holy Grail, and her methods would inevitably plunge the world into chaos.
According to Yuki Tsukumo's two proposed methods.
The first method was to have all of humanity develop in the direction of Toji Fushiguro through Heavenly Restriction.
Theoretically feasible, but practically fraught with difficulties.
One was to implement a Cursed Energy system capable of achieving Heavenly Restriction across the entire world.
In this world, the phenomena of Cursed Spirits and Jujutsu Sorcerers were concentrated only in the Island Nation, enclosed by Master Tengen's barrier.
Cursed Energy, Cursed Spirits, and Jujutsu Sorcerer phenomena were rare in other countries.
Therefore, to achieve Heavenly Restriction for all of humanity, Master Tengen's barrier would need to be expanded worldwide to ensure the Cursed Energy system could establish Heavenly Restriction with all of humanity.
But was this even possible? Would other countries permit you to place them under such a dubious barrier?
Armed conflict would be unavoidable, and Yuki Tsukumo lacked the military might to confront the entire world.
On the other hand, throughout history, the strong have often defied the law. A Heavenly Restriction that caused a physical transformation in all of humanity would naturally lead to widespread chaos.
Power breeds ambition.
This approach would undoubtedly face severe crackdowns from the governments of various nations, whose primary focus was maintaining stability.
The second method, allowing all of humanity to wield Cursed Energy, was equally problematic.
On one hand, there was the issue of the strong defying the law, similar to the above.
If all of humanity could wield Cursed Energy, the number of Jujutsu Sorcerers would increase dramatically.
Furthermore, without the threat of Cursed Spirits, the blades of Jujutsu Sorcerers would be turned entirely upon humanity itself.
This would inevitably cause a massive upheaval to the existing social structure.
And if a powerful individual like Satoru Gojo were to emerge, conflict could easily erupt.
After all, not everyone was as uninterested in power as Satoru Gojo.
Most men couldn't resist money, power, or women.
On the other hand, there was the issue of population dividend.
If all of humanity could wield Cursed Energy, the number of Jujutsu Sorcerers would increase significantly.
This could be referenced by Ma Xianhong from Hitori no Shita.
In the world of Hitori no Shita, those who possessed supernatural abilities were called Unconventional Humans.
The number of Unconventional Humans was as rare as that of Jujutsu Sorcerers.
However, with Qu Tong's help, Ma Xianhong created a Body Cultivation Furnace that could turn ordinary people into Unconventional Humans.
Perhaps Ma Xianhong's intentions were good, but this Body Cultivation Furnace severely impacted the interests of the Unconventional Human community at the time.
They had amassed vast wealth and resources through their powers as Unconventional Humans.
Once their power was wielded by a large number of ordinary people, and ordinary people gained the strength to oppose them, how could they continue to maintain their existing power and wealth?
Therefore, Yuki Tsukumo's idea would not succeed.
Because whether it was the first or the second method, Yuki Tsukumo would have to face pressure from the entire world.
"You don't have the power to confront the entire world; even Satoru Gojo wouldn't be able to. After all, it's just that there are fewer Jujutsu Sorcerers abroad, not that there are none."
Eiji's analysis calmed Suguru Geto, who had just been shocked by Yuki Tsukumo's idea.
To be an enemy of the world...
Just thinking about it made Suguru Geto feel a sense of heaviness in his heart.
Despite Eiji's opposition, Yuki Tsukumo remained remarkably nonchalant.
"Would you give up on your goal just because it's difficult?"
Yuki Tsukumo looked at Eiji with a smile.
"...No."
Eiji couldn't bring himself to lie just to oppose Yuki Tsukumo and go against his own feelings.
"See?"
Yuki Tsukumo smiled brightly.
"I was very lost in the past."
Yuki Tsukumo's thoughts drifted into the distance.
"As a Star Plasma Vessel, I knew I would eventually face a hopeless future, so I always cherished everything around me.
"But what I didn't expect was that my companions would fall one by one before me, killed by Cursed Spirits."
'The sacrifice of my companions...'
Eiji wasn't surprised by Yuki Tsukumo's experience.
After all, being a Jujutsu Sorcerer was a profession with a high casualty rate.
Jujutsu Sorcerers could earn a lot of money quickly.
But they had to be alive to spend it.
Therefore, many Jujutsu Sorcerers chose to become Curse Users.
Afraid to fight Cursed Spirits, they turned their blades against the more vulnerable ordinary people.
This perfectly exemplified Lu Xun's saying.
The strong, when angered, draw their swords against the stronger; the weak, when angered, draw their swords against the weaker.
"One day, I suddenly had an idea: would the world be better if Cursed Spirits disappeared from it?"
"So you started researching how to eliminate Cursed Energy?"
"That's right."
"Actually, getting Toji Fushiguro to cooperate with your research would be very simple."
"Really? Tell me more?"
Yuki Tsukumo showed an excited expression.
"How much are your savings?"
"You charge? Little brother, you shouldn't be short on money, right?"
Yuki Tsukumo felt a little guilty.
Although she was a Special Grade, she hardly ever took on missions to exorcise Cursed Spirits.
And because of her kind nature, she wouldn't follow the example of Curse Users and earn profits by persecuting others.
So, Yuki Tsukumo was the type of person who had a little money, lived comfortably, but couldn't come up with a large sum.
"Don't look at me, I can't help you if you don't have money."
"Eh? Don't be like that, just think of it as helping your big sister."
Eiji's eye twitched.
"Big sis, it's no use begging me. This money is for Toji Fushiguro, not for myself."
"Ah, he's short on money too?"
Yuki Tsukumo was a little surprised.
"Yeah, he hasn't taken missions for many years and likes to go out and have fun, so of course he's short on money."
"Then how much do I need to give him for him to cooperate with my research?"
"Let me think... the last mission he took earned him 1 billion in a few days. If you offer him that price, he'll definitely agree."
"How much?"
Yuki Tsukumo's voice became a little distorted, and her face showed the same shocked expression as Kavi.
"One billion. As a Special Grade, you can't possibly not have that much, right? I won't even mention that guy Gojo. Suguru spent 500 million on Heavenly Restriction."
Suguru Geto nodded from the side.
"Hahaha, it's just that I haven't taken missions in a long time. How about you guys lend me some?"
"No."
"I refuse."
Eiji and Suguru Geto refused in unison.
"What an unlikable brat."
Yuki Tsukumo was speechless.
"Do you want to join me and work for me?"
Eiji extended an invitation to Yuki Tsukumo.
