Chapter-431
Zenji Kiyoshi did not choose to stop Gojo Satoru, nor did he stop Natsuyu Jie from pursuing the other party.
He also had his own selfish motives here.
First, they don't know when they'll be able to leave this place. The higher-ups in the original world are more or less a problem for them. If they can't be completely eliminated, they'll still be somewhat constrained.
As an outsider in this world, it would be somewhat strange for him to directly kill those high-ranking officials, and he might even arouse suspicion. However, it would be good for Gojo Satoru to do it.
Judging from Gojo Satoru's demeanor, he's most likely just going to give those higher-ups a warning and won't actually commit any murder.
Secondly, Gojo Satoru experienced a very tragic life in the original work, especially during the Shibuya Incident and the subsequent Shinjuku Battle. He was almost always alone, and the other students at the high school didn't even include him in meetings, and there was almost no communication between them.
From this prophetic perspective, Zenji Sei, out of personal desire, still hopes that Gojo Satoru can live a slightly more comfortable life, at least not be left alone and helpless.
After Gojo Satoru left, Zenji Kiyoshi looked at the crowd again and said softly:
"This situation is extremely dangerous. My advice is that no one below the first-level sorcerer should participate, otherwise it will only increase the burden. Almost everyone here is at the first level or above. You can send as few people as possible from your side."
I don't mean any offense by saying this, but the enemies we're facing this time are almost all top-tier cursed spirits. Anyone below the level of a first-tier sorcerer would only be a burden.
Hearing Zenji's words, Yae Masakado in the original timeline became slightly serious. After exchanging a glance with Rakuenji, he nodded slightly and said:
"I understand what you mean, but I also want to know what kind of situation we will face next. Could you elaborate?"

Zen Monk Qingwei shook his head slightly and said slowly:
"You all have cell phones, right? I'll send you the details of the operation and the situation in a bit. We don't have much time now, so we need to get there as soon as possible."
Having said that, Zenji Qing turned directly to the people behind him and said:
"Miss Mingming, please use the Black Crow Manipulation Technique to gain full control of the entire Shibuya area. Once you discover any trace of those guys, please tell me immediately."
Furthermore, if you blend into the crowd, those cursed spirits will not be able to detect you. If you encounter any of them, try to force them into a sparsely populated area and kill them.
"Sister Hua, come with me. If we really encounter you from this timeline... perhaps we can still have a chance..."
Zenji Qing issued his orders very quickly. In no time at all, he had arranged everything in place, and even had a general plan for the other task.
But since he's not currently on the other side, it's not appropriate for him to give orders directly.
Night Moth Masamichi naturally saw Zenji Kiyoshi's concerns. He simply stepped closer, said a few words, and then, acting as a messenger, distributed Zenji Kiyoshi's tasks one by one.
Itadori, Fushiguro Megumi, and Kugizaki Nobara were all exceptionally allowed to join this mission.
However, the mission requirements were very strict: Yuujin Itadori and Megumi Fushiguro had to stay with Jin the entire time. If they dared to leave, Jin could knock them out and throw them out of the tent.
Kugizaki Nobara, on the other hand, must stay with the two Mingming and cannot act on her own.
After arranging everything, Zenji Kiyoshi rushed to Shibuya without stopping.
But Zenji Seimei could practically recite the entire Shibuya Incident from memory, yet this time he felt a strange, inexplicable sense of unease.
It was as if, as if there was a huge conspiracy behind the Shibuya incident.
He took a deep breath. With his men here this time, there was no way they could let the situation from the original story happen again.
At the same time that Zenji Sei arrived in Shibuya, some government staff, after being notified, immediately began evacuating and guiding people in specific areas.
Although the crowd expressed some dissatisfaction, the other party also stated that there had been a chemical leak nearby, and that playing around wouldn't necessarily lead to death; they could simply move to another location. The evacuation of the crowd was relatively quick.
However, Shibuya has a huge flow of people, so it's not so easy to evacuate them all. In addition, the time is short and the evacuation work cannot be completed in less than two or three hours.
And it was at the very beginning of the evacuation that Lu Suo realized this. He frowned, looked at the four cursed spirits before him, and said in a slightly solemn tone:
"It seems our plan has been discovered. We need to act now. Have the protective spells for setting up the tent been prepared?"
Upon hearing this, the real man smiled, resting his chin on his hand, a helpless expression on his face:
"Those human trams suddenly stopped running for some reason, which meant I didn't have time to set up those cursed objects. Even though I changed my form and used my best running centaur form, I still couldn't make it in time."
"Tell me exactly how many cursed objects you placed. I need to shrink the entire barrier based on the location and quantity of the cursed objects you placed."
"Ah~ Do we really have to shrink the barrier? Won't that cause a lot of humans to escape?"
Upon hearing Lu Suo's words, Zhenren showed a hint of disappointment on his face, while Lu Suo explained somewhat impatiently:
"The strength of the barrier must not be reduced, otherwise it will be meaningless to Gojo Satoru. Secondly, those humans seem to have noticed us here and have begun to evacuate the crowd."
If you keep complaining here, you won't even have these people left!
Upon hearing this, the real man suddenly stood up, his face filled with surprise and disappointment, and said:
"My cyborgs! Ugh~ What a bunch of damn bastards, but~ oh well, tens of thousands should be enough for some fun. Alright, don't rush, the location of the cursed artifact I placed is..."
As Zhenren quickly reported the information, Lu Suo breathed a slight sigh of relief. Although Zhenren had a terrible personality, he was quite efficient at doing things.
The number and distance of the cursed objects that the real person placed were better than expected, so the barrier didn't need to be reduced too much.
"Louhu, Tuogen, and Huayu, all three of you go to the underground station immediately. It's where the most people are, and it's the only tram that hasn't stopped running yet. We'll launch our attack from there, catching the students at the college off guard."
"You, Master, will go to the city center to modify those humans. You must make sure those people..."
Chapter-432
Just after Lu Su gave the orders to the cursed spirits, at the very moment the four great calamities set off.
Mingming (Zenin Seiseki), who had been monitoring the entire Shibuya area through the crows high in the sky, suddenly opened her eyes, her pupils reflecting the shared vision of the crows.
The phone rang again, the one that had been ringing continuously with Zen-in ...
"Xiao Qing, those cursed spirits have started to move! In addition to the auras of those four cursed spirits, there is also a cursed power source that looks a lot like Xia You. They are all rushing towards Shibuya Station."
They seemed to be gathering; the subway there was still running and had to be stopped immediately!
Furthermore, among the four cursed spirits, one with a stitched-up face is beginning to split. It has created another version of itself, which is moving towards the surface at an extremely fast speed, its destination being Central Avenue.
"I understand, Mingming. You continue to monitor the entire space, especially the movements of that stitched-up face. Also, have the other Mingming take on a little extra work, along with Wild Rose, to capture the clone of the cursed spirit heading to the underground station."
Upon hearing the report from Mingming, Chanyuan Qing gave his instructions almost instantly. His voice was incredibly calm at that moment, showing almost no emotional fluctuation:
"Therefore, you take Fushiguro Megumi and Itadori Yujin together to Central Street and stop the real body of that guy called Stitched Face. Remember, whatever you do, don't let that guy touch your body, and don't let that cursed spirit touch any ordinary people."
Furthermore, your close-combat skills are the strongest. That guy's techniques are troublesome; he uses all sorts of weapons. Make sure he doesn't get close to you.
Let Itadori Yuujin lead the charge; he possesses something that makes that thing wary. Have your Fushiguro Megumi release all her shikigami to block that guy's escape route, while also being wary of any other cursed spirits that might appear nearby.
"Sister Hua, head towards the fifth basement level now, we'll meet up with you shortly!"
"learn!"
Listening to Zenjiro Sei's arrangements, Fushiguro Jinji licked his lips, revealing a hunting-like excited smile. His figure disappeared from the spot like a ghost. Itachi and Fushiguro Megumi tried their best, but they could only barely keep up.
Zenjiro Kiyoshi met up with Hanami at the subway platform and rushed towards the entrance of Shibuya Station!
Meanwhile, on the fifth basement level, at Shibuya Station.
Louhu, Tuogen, and Huayu of this world have just gathered and are preparing to create chaos and seal off the area according to Lusuo's instructions.
With an extremely terrifying attack, almost in an instant, Louhu's entire body was kicked into the two walls of the subway by Zenji Qing.
"boom!!!"
The impact of that kick was so great that it shattered the concrete wall!
Amidst the flying pebbles, a large amount of purplish-black blood spilled from the spout of the water clock. His one eye now displayed an expression of utter astonishment. What had just happened? He hadn't even been able to see the person's movements clearly?!
How is this possible?! Are there any other powerhouses of this caliber in this world besides Gojo Satoru?!
"What?!"
Lu Suo stared at the sudden change in the scene, his eyes narrowing instantly. He felt a terrifying pressure emanating from the man in front of him, a pressure that was almost heart-stopping!
Moreover, it wasn't just the unfamiliar man; even the woman beside him was emanating an unusual aura.
That aura... it's a cursed spirit!
What surprised Tuogen and Louhu was that, although the other party was a cursed spirit, her aura was pure and gentle, completely different from theirs.
Moreover, why does that force feel so familiar?
etc!
Isn't that Hana Yu's scent?!
The woman's aura was almost identical to Hua Yu's, but how could that be? Hua Yu was a natural spirit, and there shouldn't be a second natural spirit in the entire world.
Looking at the woman in front of her, whose appearance was so different from her own, Hua Yu of this world was stunned. She looked at another "self," and the familiar yet strange feeling left her speechless for a moment.
Lu Su stared intently at Chan Yuanqing, a hint of inexplicable confusion in his eyes:
"Who exactly are you?! There shouldn't be anyone as powerful as you in this world."
He couldn't understand how Zenji Kiyoshi, whose fighting strength was almost on par with Gojo Satoru, could suddenly appear. The root cause of such a huge change in his plan was this strange man in front of him!
"You don't need to know who I am, but I do know you very well, and this time your script is destined to fail."
Zen-in-no-Kei calmly looked at Lu Suo and the three top-tier cursed spirits behind him:
"Today, none of you will be able to do whatever you want here."
"Let's do it!"
Seeing that Zen-in-Chief's attitude was resolute, Lu Suo knew that there was probably no room for negotiation, so he directly shouted at the surrounding spirits.
Upon hearing Lu Suo's command, Hanami from the original world pressed her hands to the ground almost without hesitation. Countless thick vines burst forth from the soil, wrapping around Zenji Seihe and another Hanami from this world as if they were living creatures!
She didn't choose to kill the ordinary people around her directly, not because she was still reluctant to kill humans, but because if she had a choice, she didn't actually crave killing. For her, whether humans lived or died was really irrelevant.
"Damn it! Let's teach that bastard a lesson!"
Louhu roared, and flames suddenly rose from its hands. As it waved its arms, countless fireballs burst forth from its hands, attacking Chanyuan Qing and the others while also scorching the ordinary people.
Countless strange fish appeared beside Tuogen, tearing towards Zenji Seiwa Hanago with lightning speed.
Lu Suo, however, had a cold look in his eyes. He did not immediately join the battle, but instead quickly retreated, and the cube covered with eyes appeared in his hand.
That's the prison gate.
His primary objective has always been to seal away Gojo Satoru! He must take advantage of the chaos to complete his plan!
Meanwhile, on the central avenue of the ground.
Looking at the crowd that was now somewhat panicked and had not yet been completely evacuated, the real man revealed a twisted and excited smile.
He reached out, ready to touch his first toy. No matter what, weapons made by women were always made of softer materials.
However, just as his fingertips were about to touch a young girl...
"laugh!"
A flash of extremely fast, cold light streaked past!
Before the man could even see what happened, his outstretched arm was severed at the shoulder and fell to the ground, still twitching.
"How strange~"
The man looked up with a displeased smile, only to see a burly man carrying a strange longsword standing between him and the crowd.
The man with the lazy yet dangerous smile on his face was none other than Fu Heishen!
Chapter-433
Looking at the man in front of him, Zhenren's face showed a look of astonishment.
In his perception, the man in front of him was clearly standing there, but he could not detect any trace of magical power on his body. His seemingly flawed yet extremely oppressive posture made it difficult for him to determine whether the other party was strong or weak.
But looking at the incredibly strong, almost explosively muscular man in front of him, the real man suddenly thought of the mechanical maru he had killed earlier.
Isn't that guy a lot like the bastard in front of me?!
The only difference is that one is absolute manipulation of magical power, while the other is absolute physical enhancement.
Looking at Shen'er in front of him, Zhenren revealed an extremely excited smile.
If a cyborg is created by someone like that, its strength will far exceed that of a cyborg created by an ordinary person.
The heavens and the curses are truly the most interesting things in the world.
Thinking of this, the real person's body twisted like liquid, and countless sharp whips grew from his back. The whips, with a sharp cracking sound like tearing the air, pounced on Fu Heishen from all sorts of tricky angles!
Shen Er frowned slightly at the attack from the real person.
It wasn't that he thought the real man's attack was particularly difficult to deal with, but rather that the real man's attack range was extremely large. If he didn't stop that guy, ordinary people within a few meters would be turned into minced meat under the sharp whip.
Meanwhile, the ordinary people were still unaware of what was happening before their eyes, and were looking at Shen'er with confusion and fear, as if they regarded Shen'er as a monster who was wielding a knife and cutting people at will.
We can't wait for that thing to attack us on its own; we need to strike first.
He glanced around briefly, and upon spotting a closed shop, he didn't hesitate. He crouched down slightly, and with a sudden burst of strength from his leg muscles, his entire body vanished from the spot in an instant.
Before Zhenren could react, he felt a sharp pain in his cheek. The next moment, Shen'er grabbed his face and slammed him into the shop.
Dust flew everywhere, and the sharp whips behind the real man were smashed to pieces by Shen Er's swift and skillful hand movements.
All of this happened so fast that the real person didn't even have time to react before being beaten to the point of being unable to fight back.
In order to get out of this passive situation as soon as possible, Zhenren was clever. He grew extremely sharp fleshy spikes on every part of his body, trying to expand like a pufferfish and force Shener to retreat.
However, Shen'er's combat experience was so rich that he saw through Zhenren's thoughts at a glance. With just a slight flick of his wrist, Youyun seemed to come alive in his hand, striking Zhenren's fleshy barbs one after another like a storm.
"What a disgusting guy, but I'm curious how long you can last?"
The real man was so badly beaten that he couldn't even open his mouth. Every time he tried to open his mouth, You Yun would slap him directly on the gums. Moreover, the strength of the man in front of him was almost exaggerated.
Even though the man's attacks were purely physical, his extremely fast attack frequency was already making it difficult for the real person to repair their physical body.
He wanted to open the domain directly, but his arms were almost turned into minced meat, and his mouth was so badly beaten that he couldn't speak at all. In this way, he simply couldn't open the domain.
It wasn't until this time that Yuujin Itadori and Megumi Fushiguro finally arrived.
Gazing at that familiar figure, Hisahito Itadori instinctively roared:
"You bastard with the stitched-up face! I'm going to kill you!"
But before Itadori could charge forward, he was pulled back by Fushiguro Megumi beside him.
"Itadaki! You idiot, if you rush in now, you'll be turned into mincemeat in an instant! Haven't you noticed? The area within two meters of that guy has become an absolute territory that we can't interfere with!"
It wasn't until Fushiguro Megumi pulled him that Itadori Yuuji calmed down a bit. He looked at the terrifying frequency of the attacks from Jinji, which was almost turning the surrounding area into a vacuum, and subconsciously swallowed.
This level of attack is simply... simply no different from a monster's attack!
Even under such a high frequency of attacks, he was still able to find time to talk to Fushiguro and Itadori:
"Hey! You two brats, stop standing around and go help evacuate Nanami and the others over there. Hurry up, I can handle this guy by myself."
"But... that guy's ability is dangerous. If his hand touches my body, everything will be over!"
Itachi recalled the way his friend died, and the restlessness in his heart made him instinctively want to kill him.
"No buts!"
Shen'er's tone was resolute, carrying an undeniable sense of pressure:
"I already know this guy's abilities. To me, if someone of this caliber can touch my body, it only proves that I'm just trash of this caliber. You guys get out of here and stop getting in my way!"
Itadori and Fushiguro Megumi exchanged a glance, looking at the real man who was almost completely passive throughout the entire attack. He didn't even have time to catch his breath from the attacks, let alone fight back.
Upon seeing this, the two gritted their teeth and immediately turned around and rushed towards the crowd to assist Nanami Kento and Haibara Yu in evacuating and guiding the crowd.
The real person was beaten so badly that he could barely open his eyes, but the stability of his soul allowed his body to continuously recover, only to be beaten to a pulp again.
It hurts! It hurts! It hurts so much!
Even if there is not much physical damage, the intense pain is real.
The body is broken and regenerated, only to be broken again before it has fully recovered.
The infant, only a few months old, had reached the limit of his fragile mind after being subjected to such prolonged violence.
"No, no, no! No! No! Let me go! You're a monster! A monster!"
The real man began to sob. He didn't know how to escape from the terrifying man in front of him, so he could only cry like a baby. It was his instinctive choice.
But as Shen Er watched this scene, his expression grew increasingly disgusted, and he struck even harder.
"You disgusting bastard, if you're prepared to kill others, you should also be prepared to be killed by others!"
The real man was beaten almost to a pulp, while on the other side, Nanako and Mimiko looked at the rope-like Natsume who was clashing with Zenji Sei, their expressions filled with extreme anger.
Chapter-434
In the two sisters' world, Xia Youjie is their savior.
He is the light that gives them new life, a gentle yet powerful father!
But the being before them, bearing the face of Lord Xia You, had stolen the body of the person most important to them.
Absolutely, absolutely we cannot allow Lord Xia Youjie's body to be humiliated like this again!
However, they were not foolish. Looking at Lu Suo, who was now almost at full strength, they knew that they absolutely could not take Xia Youjie's body from the other party. They could only wait until the people in front of them were both injured before they could have a sliver of hope.
Zenji discovered Mimiko and Nanako early on. Although they didn't recognize him in this world, Zenji still wouldn't let the two sisters be killed at will.
He glanced in the direction of the two sisters, then simply raised his hand slightly.
"The Birth of the Sea of Trees!"
As countless enormous trees emerged from beneath its feet, almost instantly, Zen Temple Qinghe and the Four Great Calamities were all surrounded at the center of the trees.
He didn't want his battle to affect others, including Nanako, Mimiko, and other ordinary people.
Looking at the enormous trees that had appeared all around, the ordinary people who had not yet completely evacuated were almost speechless with fear at this miraculous scene.
After realizing what was happening, everyone screamed and ran outside almost recklessly.
However, the real person's clone is currently waiting at the emergency exit, hoping that ordinary people will walk right into its trap.
Although he cannot use the transformation of inaction, his basic physical strength is there. As long as he guards this exit, no matter how many ordinary people come, they will only be sending themselves to their deaths.
However, the mysterious figure from the original world has already brought Kugizaki Nobara here. Looking at the real person's clone in front of them, both of their phones have already received all the information and weaknesses about the real person that Zenin Kiyoshi has searched out.
Therefore, when they looked at the real people, the smiles on the two women's faces were extremely obvious.
They'll use this clone to teach that bastard's real body a lesson!
Inside the Tree Sea, Zenji Seiwa and Hanamichi stood together, looking down at the three cursed spirits before them.
The three cursed spirits from the original world—Louhu, Huayu, and Tuogen—all focused their attention on Huayu, who was standing next to Zenji Qing.
"Why? Why do you have the same spell power fluctuations as Hanamichi?! You must be a spell spirit too, right?! A natural spell spirit? Answer me!"
Louhu was very agitated. As an extremist of the cursed spirits, he felt a sudden pang of heartache as he looked at Hua Yu, a human who was willing to become a traitor.
Natural disaster-level cursed spirits are extremely rare to be born; each of them should be family. Yet now, someone is actually abandoning cursed spirits and choosing to help humanity instead! This is absolutely unforgivable.
As Zenji Qing listened to Louhu's words, a slight look of bewilderment flashed across his eyes.
It seems that even if he were a water clock from another world, he would still be so stubborn that he is impossible to persuade.
Faced with the water clock's almost roaring question, Hanamichi, standing beside Zenji, had a fleeting moment of confusion in his eyes, but that confusion quickly turned into a calm and firm understanding.
She looked at her other self, whose eyes also held confusion and scrutiny.
Then, Hua Yu looked at the single eye of the water clock, which was burning with anger and confusion, and slowly took a step forward.
"Why?"
Hua Yu's voice carried a hint of determination as he looked at the water clock, his voice gentle yet resolute:
"Water clock, in your understanding, are cursed spirits and humans destined to fight each other until one side is completely annihilated?"
Her gaze swept over the three top-tier cursed spirits, finally settling on the water clock, her eyes filled with a mixture of nostalgia and questioning.
Without hesitation, Louhu answered Hana's question directly:
"We are stronger than humans, smarter than humans, and better at caring for this world than humans, so why can't we, the new humans, take over this world? Why let those ordinary people, who are like pigs and dogs, take over the world?!"
Hua Yu's eyes didn't show much emotion at the roar coming from the water clock, but he felt a sense of relief.
When Louhu died, she didn't really have much self-awareness about the world, so she didn't deny or respond to Louhu's words. But now, she has her own understanding, even though she knows that this Louhu is not the Louhu she knew.
However, Hua Yu still wanted to make up for the answer she hadn't given back then.
"I was once like you, a water clock."
I also believe that the emergence of humankind is a defilement of nature, and their very existence is a curse.
Because humans, in pursuit of their own development, need to cut down countless trees and destroy vast amounts of vegetation, I was born into this environment. Initially, I truly believed I was born to wipe out humanity.
Hua Yu paused slightly at this point, then slowly raised his head, looking directly at the water clock's single eye:
"We are born from the negative emotions of humankind, from nature's aversion to humankind, and seem to be born with the destiny of killing them all."
Her tone gradually changed, carrying a hint of her own firmness:
"But later, I met Xiao Qing, and I also met many, many different people."
They are different from the humans you described to me. I have been to many, many places and seen many humans. In front of some outstanding humans, even nature itself would utter praises. They are more like natural spirits than I am.
Those people showed me different possibilities, and they showed me that the relationship between nature and humanity isn't just a matter of life and death.
She looked at the Zen temple's tranquility, then at the water clock, and said softly but firmly:
"In the world I want and strive to build, cursed spirits and humans are not incompatible."
We can have our own territory, and like the spirits of the mountains and the fairies in stories, we can keep our distance from the human world, without having to resent or hate each other...
"Enough! I don't want to hear your nonsense anymore!"
The water clock roared, its magical power surging violently with rage:
"Coexistence? With those humans who are as weak and despicable as insects?"
What right do those damned humans have to share this world with us?!
Look at what humanity has done to this world! We were born in accordance with the will of nature! We are a superior species born to succeed humanity!
Zen Monk Qingwei frowned slightly, and the power of his incantation erupted from his hand.
On the other side, Mimiko and Nanako stared at the firmly sealed tree barrier, their expressions somewhat grim.
Fortunately, Lu Suo was not inside that tree barrier; he escaped in some way.
Lu Suo looked at the two sisters with a somewhat indifferent expression.
Chapter-435
Why are the two of you here?
Lu Suo, now wearing Xia Youjie's face, stared calmly at the two people in front of him, his voice carrying an indescribable coldness.
Looking at the man's cold face, Mimi felt as if her heart was being ripped apart by blades.
That face had never shown that expression to the two of them before.
Lord Xiayou would never treat his sisters like that!
"Give Lord Natsuyu's body back! We have done what you asked for, keeping those auxiliary supervisors out and preventing them from touching those cursed objects, so... it's time for you to give Lord Natsuyu's body back to us!"
Nanako continued, picking up where her sister left off, and addressed Tōsō:
"Fulfill what you said before and return Lord Xiayou's body to us. We have almost reached the limit of our tolerance for you. That person's body absolutely cannot be humiliated by you like this!"
Hearing the two sisters' words, a contemptuous smile appeared on Lu Suo's face. He shrugged and said sarcastically:
"You two really aren't very bright. Didn't Xia Youjie tell you when he was teaching you that the first thing to do when making a deal with a curse master is to sign a contract?"
To dare to make a deal with a curse master far beyond your power without any contract or binding agreement, your minds are truly laughable.
I'm in a bad mood right now, don't make me say it a second time, get out!
Hearing Lu Suo's words, Mimiko and Nanako felt a surge of humiliation and regret. They stared intently at the familiar face before them, their hatred almost overwhelming them.
However, both of them knew very well that what the other party said was true. With their combined strength, they could not possibly pose the slightest threat to Lu Suo. If they were to launch a direct attack here, they would most likely be killed by the other party.
But they were really unwilling to leave like this.
When Lu Su saw that the two people had not left, his already bad mood, which was ruined by the sudden appearance of Zenji and others, became even worse.
He narrowed his eyes, extended his hand, his expression icy cold:
"It seems you're not only not very bright, but you're also deaf. In that case, don't leave, stay here!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a terrifying magical power rose from his body.
Feeling the cursed power, Nanako and Mimiko tried to escape, but a heavy force suddenly pressed down on them, making it impossible for them to even stand up, let alone escape.
Every bone in his body was groaning, and the pressure was so intense that blood was almost being squeezed out of his skin. As his veins bulged, his consciousness gradually slipped into unconsciousness.
Nanako glanced at Mimiko's pained expression beside her. She knew that if this continued, they would both die here in just a few minutes!
She tried to take out her phone and use a spell to counteract the gravity emanating from Lu Suo, but her body felt as if it were filled with cement, and she couldn't even move a finger.
Damn it... Am I really going to die here?
Lord Natsuyu... I'm sorry, we were unable to bring your body back, and this damned fellow defiled it.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry...
Just as consciousness was about to sink into darkness, a gentle voice rang out.
"Mimiko, Nanako, are you two alright?"
That was Xia Youjie's voice, influenced by the two of them!
The moment they heard that gentle voice, the crushing force emanating from Mimiko and Nanako vanished instantly.
The two instinctively breathed a sigh of relief, and before they could even process what was happening, they turned to look in the direction from which the sound had come.
Standing before the two women was Xia Youjie from Zen-in Seiseki. He looked at Nanako and Mimiko with a pained expression, feeling waves of anger rising to his head.
Although he wasn't familiar with Mimiko and Nanako of this world, the fatherly love for these two girls that was ingrained in his bones made it impossible for him to calm down.
He recalled a scene he had witnessed in the illusion years ago: Nanako and Mimiko, in order to reclaim their bodies, willingly made a deal with a demon like Sukuna, only to be cruelly killed by him in the end...
Thinking back to that horrific scene, Xia Youjie felt like he couldn't breathe.
The situation just now was no better than that in the illusion. If he hadn't arrived in time, Nanako and Mimiko would probably have been crushed into mincemeat by that force!
Why, why is it always because of me?!
She rescued these two children from that hellish village so that they could have a new life and laugh in the sunshine like ordinary girls.
Instead of putting them in deadly danger time and time again because of themselves, because of their faces, because of their bodies!
Witnessing their gruesome deaths in the illusion as they tried to reclaim their own bodies had long been a nightmare that Xia Youjie could never forget.
At this moment, having witnessed this world firsthand, they were once again on the verge of death because of their desire to "take back Xia Youjie's body." The suppressed anger and self-blame engulfed them like a tidal wave!
"Xia, Master Xiayou...?!"
Nanako slumped to the ground, looking up at the familiar Xia Youjie with a gentle and guilty expression, her voice trembling uncontrollably.
The Xia You Master in front of me feels different; he's completely different from that cold imposter!
Meimei struggled to lift her head, her big eyes filled with tears, and she stared blankly at Xia Youjie for a moment.
Xia Youjie from the Zen Temple Qing World quickly stepped forward, then gently squatted down and carefully checked the two girls' condition. Only after confirming that they had not suffered any specific injuries did he breathe a sigh of relief.
He reached out and gently wiped the sweat from the two women's faces, then patted the dust off their clothes. His movements were practiced and natural, as if he had done it a thousand times before.
Xia Youjie had dreamt of this scene countless times.
"It's alright, it's all over now..."
Xia Youjie's voice carried a calming power, causing Nanako and Mimiko to burst into tears.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here, everything's alright now..."
Chapter-436
Xia Youjie's familiar, gentle voice, almost perfectly matching their memories, completely shattered Nanako and Mimiko's last line of defense.
Upon hearing that familiar voice, the two girls could no longer hold back and burst into tears.
They were not very old to begin with, and had been pampered by Xia Youjie since childhood, so they had no experience or ability to survive on their own.
In the year following Xia Youjie's death, only the two of them knew how much grievance and suffering they endured in order to retrieve her body.
Even after enduring so much hardship, they had no one to confide in.
Because the only person they could rely on was dead.
But today, they saw that familiar presence from their memories once again. Now, they no longer cared why Xia Youjie was here. They simply clung to Xia Youjie's sleeves like children who had finally found their parents after suffering so much injustice.
"Lord Xiayou... Finally, finally I've seen you again. I'm so sorry, so sorry, we were killed before we could retrieve your body. In the end, we couldn't even protect your body..."
Nanako burst into tears.
"We...we want to help you get your body back, but we're just too weak..."
Mimiko was almost crying so hard she could barely speak, and her breathing was extremely shallow.
Listening to their tearful stories, Xia Youjie felt as if an invisible hand was tightly gripping his heart, filled with guilt and pain.
He gently pulled the two girls into his arms and said in the gentlest tone he could muster:
"Yes, I know, I know everything..."
You've already tried so hard, it's really enough, but if possible, Mimiko, Nanako, I don't want you to make such a huge sacrifice for that body.
You two are my greatest treasure. Whatever my body becomes in the end, it doesn't matter, as long as you can live happily, as long as you are safe…"
Xia Youjie had wanted to say these words for a very long time. He regretted his choice in that illusion even more, and hated the person he was now even more.
He paused, his voice low but incredibly firm:
"Mimiko, Nanako, you two didn't die, and this isn't heaven, but leave the rest to me, okay? Trust me, I'll handle everything."
As Xia Youjie spoke, he glanced past the two women's trembling, weeping shoulders and looked at another version of himself not far away, his face grim and uncertain.
That look in his eyes was no longer the tenderness and guilt he felt towards his two children, but rather a murderous intent that was almost tangible.
"Hiding inside a dead person's body and using that corpse's identity to manipulate people's hearts in every possible way—this kind of behavior truly disgusts and evokes my deepest loathing and hatred."
Xia Youjie slowly stood up and shielded the still somewhat dazed Nanako and Mimiko behind him.
He began to emanate a powerful surge of magical energy, which, although extremely similar to the magical energy emanating from Lu Suo, gave off a completely different feeling.
If Lu Suo gives people a feeling of coldness and stickiness, then Xia Youjie gives people a feeling of warmth, as comfortable as the sun.
Looking at this suddenly appearing Xia Youjie, Lu Suo felt that his brain was not quite up to the task for the first time.
What troubled Lu Suo even more was that the Xia Youjie in front of him seemed to be stronger than the Xia Youjie body he was inhabiting!
"To be honest, I'm really curious, who are you? Xia Youjie should have died long ago, so why are you here?"
Hearing Lu Suo's question, Xia Youjie remained calm. He had no intention of answering Lu Suo's question, but simply raised his hand slowly.
"Domain Deployment!"
"The Contemplation of Impurity: The Four Directions!"
As Xia Youjie's voice fell, thick, black blood dripped from his body.
The black blood dripped very quickly, almost instantly covering the surrounding world.
As the black matter coalesced, fragments of human bones, some already broken, slowly floated to the surface of the water.
What's even more eerie is that the roots of flowers are entwined around each bone. The bright red flowers and white bones, set against the backdrop of the black sea, appear both harmonious and unsettling.
At the very center of that sea of black blood stood Xia Youjie, his face filled with sorrow.
Behind Xia Youjie was a strangely shaped platform.
The platform was wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, and was dark red in color. If you looked closely, you could see clumps of wriggling things on the platform, which looked like internal organs.
On the high platform stood a pure white Guanyin statue. However, unlike the usual Guanyin statues with slightly open eyes, this Guanyin statue had its eyes completely closed, and two lines of bloody tears dripped from the statue. The holiness and evil were displayed to the fullest extent at this moment!
The moment those blood-stained tears fell onto the black ocean, it was as if cold water had been poured into hot oil, and the entire sea surface began to boil.
Countless cursed spirits surged forth from the boiling black ocean, devouring each other's flesh and blood. Each cursed spirit bore deep, bone-revealing wounds.
That black ocean was actually formed from the black blood flowing from the wounds of these cursed spirits!
At this moment, Xia Youjie was standing below the Guanyin statue, his thumb and middle finger touching, while the rest of his fingers were naturally extended.
As the entire domain was completed, if one listened carefully, one could almost hear the mournful cries of the dead, like grievances and longings, like sobs and lamentations. And if one listened even more closely, one could hear the cursed spirits murmuring curses before their deaths.
Looking at Xia Youjie at this moment, Lu Suo's expression was extremely ugly.
"This body's memories didn't mention that I could use domain expansion... Just who are you?"
As Lu Suo spoke, he mobilized his own magical power. Although the body he had taken over could not expand its domain, it did not mean that Lu Suo himself could not.
If Xia Youjie shows even the slightest unusual movement, he will instantly unleash his domain and fight to the death with his opponent.
But before that, he still wanted to extract as much information as possible from Xia Youjie.
"The world has many possibilities for development. The world you live in is not necessarily the only one, Lu Suo."
Zen-in Kiyoshi's voice came from behind, and in his hand he was holding the half-dead head of the water clock.
Chapter-437
The surrounding trees had already opened up, and Zenji Qing, holding the water clock, was not injured at all, not even the hem of his clothes was dirty.
Zen-in-Chiyo, possessing multiple terrifying techniques, has a unique advantage in crushing weaker opponents.
Instead of wasting time with Louhu and Tuogen, he directly used the Limitless Technique Domain to expand [Boundless Void], instantly rendering the two temporarily insane.
In the original world, Zenji Kiyoshi did not take action against Hana-Yu; he handed her over to Hana-Yu, who was by his side.
He wasn't worried that the Flower Guardian beside him would be no match for the Flower Guardian of this world, because over the years, the Zen Academy had already conducted extensive training and modifications on the Flower Guardian's abilities through the systematic 120% inheritance and development of techniques.
The beautiful woman beside him now far surpasses the original Hua Yu in this world, both in terms of the precision of her spells and her control over magical power.
After using the Boundless Void to control Louhu and Tuogen, he decisively switched to the Demon-Subduing Chef and cut the two into pieces.
The only reason the water clock was spared was to find out the location of its other fingers from it.
After all, they found quite a few fingers in the college's warehouse. Although he also possessed Su Nuo's power, it would still be quite strenuous to search for them one by one.
Therefore, the entire battle was extremely fast, lasting only a few seconds.
Looking at Zenin Kiyoshi standing behind her, still holding the head of the water clock in his hand, Rōsō could no longer maintain her composure. She looked at Zenin Kiyoshi, her voice laced with an incredulous question:
"Different timelines? You mean you come from different worlds?! How could such an absurd thing possibly happen!"
Hearing Lu Suo's words, Zenji Sei simply replied with a calm expression:
"There are so many possibilities in the world, Lu Suo. With your knowledge, you shouldn't disbelieve these things, right? After all, in the illusion of the balancing mechanism, you must have seen many things you shouldn't have seen, haven't you?"
For example, the spaceship in the sky above, and the things you've seen in various illusions—these are all things you've experienced before, aren't they?
Upon hearing Zenjiro's words, Lu Suo's pupils dilated instantly. He took two small steps back and said with some apprehension:
I don't know what you're talking about.
"You don't even have the courage to admit these things? In my opinion, you in this timeline are really a bit cowardly."
Zenjiro glanced at Ryosaku, who was still unwilling to say anything, but was not in a hurry. He just looked at him with a calm expression.
Lu Suo looked at Chan Yuanqing, opened his mouth as if to speak, but in the end he didn't say anything, only looking at the other person with a somewhat gloomy expression.
At this moment, Louhu also recovered from his brief daze in the boundless void. Although he couldn't move just now, he had received all the information about what had happened around him into his mind.
"Tuogen!"
The moment it regained its mobility, Louhu let out an extremely tragic wail. To it, Tuogen was like a child, a junior, yet this very Tuogen was directly sliced into pieces by Zenji Qing right before its eyes.
This scene is simply unacceptable to the water clock operator!
How hateful! How hateful!
How can such a thing be forgiven!
The water clock went mad, roaring incessantly with its body, now only a head.
As boundless heat erupted from its mouth, even at this point, it still struggled to avenge Tuogen.
To him, every spirit around him was like family.
As the oldest among these cursed spirits, even if he were to die, he would die before the other cursed spirits!
But now, Tuogen was killed right in front of him!
Even with only its head remaining, the water clock spewed out magma capable of melting steel, and in the blink of an eye, Zen-in-origin was completely covered by the magma.
Faced with the water clock's desperate, almost desperate, eruption of magma, Zenji Sei didn't even flinch.
The scorching torrent, hot enough to melt steel, was forced to divert and deflect before it even touched his body, as if it had hit an absolutely invisible wall. It then lost all its power and slowly dripped down in front of Zenjiro.
The scorching lava fell from the sky and hissed as it hit the ground.
After acquiring the technique of no limits, Zenji Kiyoshi finally understood why Gojo Satoru had humiliated the loukou in the original story.
Because in the face of such a shameless ability to have no bottom line, all of Louhu's attacks seem so ridiculous and laughable.
"When you set fires and kill ordinary humans in a fit of emotion, you should have thought that one day you would be killed in the same way, right?"
Don't tell me you've forgotten what happened in the coffee shop not long ago?
You seem to have burned the shop's employees and customers to death simply because you were emotionally agitated, right? What did those people do wrong?
Don't pretend to be pitiful here. You and that octopus wouldn't even deserve to die a thousand times over.
Zenjiro looked at the still-roaring water clock head in his hand, his tone so calm that no emotion could be detected.
He exerted a slight force with his fingertips, and an even purer magical power instantly invaded, completely sealing the water clock's last resistance, preventing it from even self-destructing.
"Damn it! We are the new humans, a great being destined to replace you old humans! For us, killing you is the purification of this world! You understand nothing at all!"
The sound of the water clock was still hoarse and frantic, but after the power of the curse was sealed, the light in his single eye gradually faded.
Meanwhile, the battle between the two worlds is also nearing its end.
Or rather, the exchange between these two was less a battle and more a silent exchange and an absolute crushing defeat.
After all, whether in terms of combat awareness or the precision of techniques, the Hana of the Zen-in Seimei world is far superior to the Hana of this world.
Even though Hana no longer uses lethal spells in the Zen Temple Pure World, her more agile vines and thorns almost completely overwhelm Hana no Hana of this world.
However, the Flower Queen on Zen-in Kiyoshi's side never went for the kill from beginning to end. Instead, she used a power of tolerance and guidance to constantly neutralize the Flower Queen's attacks in this world, while simultaneously releasing her own thoughts to her.
In the original world, Hana's attacks, which were initially fierce, gradually became hesitant and chaotic.
She could clearly feel the completely different ideas and power emanating from her other self.
That tranquility and steadfastness are gradually shaking her deeply ingrained beliefs.
This is something she finds easier to accept and understand than the power she feels from the water clock.
Chapter-438
To be precise, from the very beginning, Hana no Yu did not have such an extreme and crazy idea as the water clock.
She did that simply to keep up with Louhu and the others; from beginning to end, she didn't even really know why she did it.
If humans are killed, will those plants be able to return to their original state?
Humans cause great damage to plants, but sometimes, there are also people who are desperately trying to restore nature.
After killing all humans, will the cursed spirits be able to treat nature well?
Hua Yu actually knew that those cursed spirits had absolutely no love or care for nature.
In this respect, is there really any difference between cursed spirits and humans?
Not only that, but from the attacks of another version of herself, Hana also sensed various ideas and thoughts that were completely different from her own.
Time and again, blow after blow, the thorns surrounding Hua Yu in the original world slowly drooped down. She stopped attacking, stood still, and looked at her other self with complicated eyes, lost in deep confusion.
But upon seeing the already dead Torg, Hanami from the original world once again lashed out with the vines around her, whipping her other self relentlessly.
No matter how her thoughts change, those people will always be her family.
Hua Yu will do whatever her family wants; she doesn't want to betray them in the slightest.
She was confused from the beginning, but she would not choose to run away. Since she had already embarked on this path, perhaps dying here was the best option.
Hanamichi of the Zen Temple Seiseki seemed to have sensed the other's thoughts. Her eyes dimmed slightly, but she did not hold back at all. For her, being able to see herself like this was an indescribable experience.
If I hadn't met Zenjiro Kiyoshi back then, perhaps I would be just as lost and in pain as she is now.
Zenjiro, holding the completely sealed head of the water clock, turned his gaze back to Lu Su, whose face was extremely pale.
"Now, we can continue our previous topic."
Zen-in Sei's voice broke the brief silence between the two:
"About different world lines, about the balance mechanism, about the spaceships above the sky."
Lu Suo, I know you're hesitating about something right now. You don't need to hide it from me. Since I come from another timeline, you should know that there is also a Lu Suo in my world.
Much of what I know was told to me by you from another world. In fact, the reason I chose to appear here is to find you.
Silence won't solve anything. You should know better than anyone that we've all been caught in a vortex far exceeding that between sorcerers or spirits.
As Lu Su listened to Zenjiro's words, his chest heaved violently. He stared intently at Zenjiro, then at Louhu, who had been easily subdued, and the clearly wavering Hanamichi, and finally at Natsuyuki, who was protecting Nanako and Mimiko from another timeline.
Although Lu Suo was very reluctant to accept his failure, he knew in his heart that the plan could not succeed.
This man from another timeline possessed overwhelming strength and knowledge far beyond his comprehension, completely disrupting his millennia-long plan.
"To be honest, how much do you really know?"
After a moment of silence, Lu Suo asked Zen Yuanqing in an extremely hoarse voice.
The voice carried a hint of weariness, but also a strong desire for the knowledge that Zen Monastery Qing possessed.
"More than you think, but possibly less than the real mastermind knows."
Zen-in-Chiyo didn't try to hide anything; instead, he spoke frankly and directly:
"I know what you've been trying to do all these years, I know you'll try to start the Death Recurve later, and I know you want to create a giant cursed spirit through the Death Recurve."
But I also want to ask you, do you really think that all of these things are things you want to do yourself, and not things guided by a balancing mechanism?
You may think you've broken free from the pull of the balance mechanism, but what if the balance mechanism is the one making you think that way?
Do you really understand what's inside that spaceship in the sky?
Do you really believe you can control those things, instead of ending up being controlled by them and becoming their pawn?
Lu Suo, think about it carefully. Have all the actions you've taken up to this point in your life truly been what you truly wanted?
I can tell you a very clear reality: the [Su Nuo Container] that you spent over three hundred years creating is exactly what the balancing mechanism wants you to do!
Do you think your means of controlling Sukuna is just the vessel that is Itajō? No! Sukuna is not the enemy you will have to face in the end. After coming to this world, I saw some things I shouldn't have seen from the Time Well of my original world.
At least now, I have a general idea of the purpose of the spaceship in the sky.
Hearing Zenjiro's words, Lu Suo's face showed a look of astonishment. He gritted his teeth, his voice trembling slightly:
"What are their goals? And what makes you so sure I'm being used?"
"I have no obligation to tell you these things, nor do I have any reason to explain them to you."
At that very moment, in the original world of Zen Temple Qingyuan, a somewhat hoarse voice suddenly came from the spaceship in the sky:
"It seems our plan needs to be carried out more than seventy years ahead of schedule. Have the people on the ground already discovered something?"
Hearing that hoarse voice, another tall voice on the spaceship said with some dissatisfaction:
"It's because you guys have interfered with the balance mechanism too many times. That man named Zenin Kiyoshi has already realized these things through the Well of Time. No matter how well prepared we are, we have no choice but to take action!"
"Since that's the case, let's stop wasting time and just get rid of those guys. Aren't they at the rendezvous point right now? Let's head to that rendezvous point and wipe them all out!"
In another timeline, Zenji Qing's words about being "used" and the "purpose of the spaceship" were like a giant hammer, shattering Lu Suo's arrogant shell of thinking he controlled everything for a thousand years.
His face was slightly pale, and his lips were trembling uncontrollably. For the first time, Xia Youjie's eyes revealed a near-collapse-like confusion and self-doubt.
Thousands of years of planning, creating Sukuna containers, initiating the Death Rebirth... Could all of these things really just be puppet tricks guided by an invisible hand?
Chapter-439
Gojo Satoru of the Zen temple Seiseki discovered that the sky, which had been relatively clear, had turned dark almost instantly.
And the well that Zen Master Qing had instructed to guard well also burst forth with bursts of bright light.
Looking at this scene, Gojo Satoru felt a little dizzy. What was going on?!
A terrifying pressure suddenly erupted, engulfing everyone, including Gojo Satoru.
That was a cursed power that did not belong to this world. Gojo Satoru could sense that this cursed power was purer than his own!
If one considers their own use of magical power as a weapon, then the opponent has already refined their magical power down to its basic constituent matter.
"Too many Karians (alien cursed spirits) have been slaughtered. That person has reached the limit of tolerance. This world is no different from our planet. These people still treat the Karians primarily by slaughtering them."
In that case, there's no point in holding back any longer. We need to act quickly and eliminate all ordinary humans on the planet. Only in this way can we seize control of all the world's energy and fight against those who are chasing us.
Lord Karian has already poured a large part of his power into this world, and has created more Karians by using the power of ordinary people in this world. But what is puzzling is that ordinary people in this world have also gained abilities similar to our race.
This is truly perplexing. Didn't Lord Karian anticipate this situation?
Various sounds came from the spaceship. Gojo Satoru listened to those sounds and felt a little irritated. Why didn't these guys avoid him when they were talking?
No... no one around me heard it; it seemed like only I could hear it.
Is it because of the six eyes?
Gojo Satoru didn't bother thinking about those things anymore. He stared at the huge spaceship in front of him and, without any hesitation, a series of azure spheres appeared around him and smashed directly at the spaceship.
Just as Gojo Satoru launched his attack, a cold snort suddenly came from the spaceship.
"It seems that the creatures on this earth have also been influenced by Lord Karian, giving birth to such terrifying beings, but compared to Dabra (an alien being rated as being on par with Sukuna), they are still somewhat inferior."
"Dabra, don't linger in the fight. Head to the rendezvous point immediately; that's where we ultimately need to go!"
As a figure so fast it was almost invisible to the naked eye rushed off the spaceship, Gojo Satoru felt an immense force instantly surge through his arm.
This power was unlike any technique or method encountered before; for a time, even the concept of "no limits" was broken.
"Damn it! What are these bastards?"
Gojo Satoru wasn't hurt, but he was a bit bewildered by these bastards.
Just then, Zenji Kiyoshi's voice reached Gojo Satoru's ears.
"Wu! Hold these guys off for a while. I've reached a critical juncture. Once I handle things properly here, it'll be time to wipe out these bastards in one fell swoop!"
Hearing Zenji Sei's words, Gojo Satoru revealed a somewhat fierce smile:
"Hey! Xiaoqing, can you tell me who these guys are?"
"Aliens, they should be related to the origin of cursed spirits on Earth, but I don't have accurate information at the moment. However, none of that matters anymore. As long as we bring them to the intersection where I am now and deal with them all at once, everything will be settled!"
However, among those aliens are monsters almost on par with Su Nuo. You must be careful and lest you get killed by them!
In response to Zenji Sei's instructions, Gojo Satoru simply smiled and replied:
"You bastard, you're so disrespectful! Don't let yourself run into trouble later!"
"Don't worry, after this is over, we will have a complete grasp on the future of this world!"
After saying that, Zenji Kiyoshi abruptly ended their conversation.
He looked at the rope before him and let out a slight sigh of relief:
"Jay, please deal with this bastard for now. I have some things to take care of, I'll be right back."
Hearing Zen Monk Qing's words, Xia Youjie's voice carried a hint of amusement:
"I've been waiting for you to say that, Qing. Now watch me. I haven't gotten my revenge for the grievances that Mimiko and Nanako suffered!"
Zen-in-Chih nodded to Xia Youjie, then rushed straight outside.
What he needs to do most right now is to catch the real person and then immediately use Xia Youjie's [Spirit Manipulation Technique] to absorb the real person's spell directly.
[Non-action transformation] is almost the central point of all my plans right now.
All plans are currently under his control.
Although the sudden Shibuya incident was somewhat beyond his expectations, after emerging from the Well of Time, he suddenly received a memory he had no recollection of.
This memory was given to him when he first met Lu Suo and Lu Suo touched his body.
After Zen Monk Qing left, Xia Youjie looked calmly at Lu Suo, as incantations surged around him.
Buzz—!
The entire space within the domain was completely covered and rewritten. The black ocean gradually receded, and a living palace composed of countless cursed spirit bodies and cursed power patterns appeared beneath Xia Youjie's feet.
After the black ocean receded, countless bloodshot eyes suddenly opened on the walls of the palace.
Those were the eyes of countless cursed spirits, now as numerous as stars, overlooking everything within the domain.
This realm itself is an enormous, colossal composite spirit composed of countless intricately combined spirits!
Xia Youjie stood in the center of this living cursed spirit's palace, looking at Lu Suo, and explained softly:
"The ability of Spell Spirit Manipulation actually has a very complicated part when the domain is not expanded. Every time a spell spirit is summoned, the user's own space must be expanded and enlarged."
But once the domain is opened, this restriction is removed. No... rather than saying the restriction is lifted, it's more accurate to say that you and I are now both within the Cursed Spirit Space.
To date, I have stored approximately 3,421 level-two cursed spirits, 1,421 level-one cursed spirits, 34 quasi-special-grade cursed spirits, and 8 special-grade cursed spirits in this space.
These cursed spirits will relentlessly pursue your body in the next instant, and after this spell is revealed, the strength of the cursed spirits will also be increased overall.
Chapter-440
As Xia Youjie finished speaking, the entire procedure was revealed.
At this moment, the entire realm of the four directions of the Impure Contemplation seemed to be infused with a completely new soul, instantly acquiring its own soul and wisdom in an incredible way!
The black seawater completely dissipated at that moment, and the countless eyes of the cursed spirits on the wall, with bloodshot veins spreading, locked onto the only enemy in the domain, Lu Suo.
"The Night Parade of One Hundred Demons has only just begun. I won't let you die so easily. You won't die so easily until you've repaid for the harm you caused to Mimiko and Nanako a thousandfold!"
Xia Youjie's voice was filled with coldness at this moment, and every word he spoke contained a chill that seemed capable of freezing people.
The scenes he had been powerless to resolve in his dreams finally gave him a chance to release and salvage them at this moment.
Therefore, this expansion into the field is basically a major concern for Xia Youjie.
Mimiko and Nanako were protected behind Xia Youjie. They were stunned for a moment as they stared at the almost exaggerated number of cursed spirits in the domain.
In their memories, Xia Youjie was indeed incredibly powerful, but not to this extent.
The Xia Youjie before them was beginning to show some differences from the image they remembered.
It was only at this moment that Nanako finally realized that the man in front of her might not be the Natsuyu-sama they knew.
She stood there, looking at Xia Youjie in front of her, and for some reason, felt a pang of pain in her heart.
"Lord Xiayou...you, you are not Lord Xiayou of this world, are you? I overheard some of your conversation just now. It seems you came from another world with that other lord, is that right?"
Looking at Nanako, whose voice was trembling, Xia Youjie was speechless for a moment. He didn't know how to start the conversation, let alone how to tell them the truth.
Xia Youjie understood the two children in front of her. No matter what time or space they were in, their personalities remained the same—stubborn to the point of being somewhat erroneous.
When Meimei saw that Xia Youjie didn't speak, she opened her mouth, but in the end, she didn't say anything.
She actually thought of these things faster than her older sister, Meimeizi. However, the Xia Youjie in front of her was just too similar to the Xia Youjie in their memories.
They are so similar that Mimiko can no longer tell the difference between the two.
She didn't want to burst the bubble again, and she didn't want to return to that extremely cold world without Lord Xia Youjie.
She had already experienced that kind of world once, and she really didn't want to go through it a second time!
Even when Nanako said those things, Mimiko wanted to cover Nanako's mouth.
Even if it's just a dream, please, please don't shatter it...
Looking at the two sisters with their different expressions, Xia Youjie felt a surge of bitterness welling up in his heart. He gently reached out and hugged both children into his arms.
Gently stroking their hair, he said in the softest voice:
"Nanako, you are as smart as ever. I am indeed not Xia Youjie from your world, but... in my world, there are exactly the same people as you."
Everything that happened after I rescued you from that village is almost the same as here. No matter which time or space you are in, you will always be my children.
No matter how you see me, whether you think I'm an imposter or find me disgusting, as long as I can protect you, then it's all worth it.
In too many futures, I have seen the two of you killed by various people for searching my body, and each time I could only watch helplessly as it happened. You have no idea how many times I have experienced those scenes.
So this time, I absolutely, positively will not let go. In those illusions, I've practiced countless times in my mind how I'm going to save you all!
The first attack after the domain was deployed was a saturated spell power impact that Xia Youjie had specially prepared for Lu Suo!
Xia Youjie knew that after Lu Suo took over his body, he would definitely be able to use the [Spirit Manipulation Technique] that came with his physical body.
In that case, Lu Suo would definitely be surrounded by countless cursed spirits. As the original user of the cursed spirit manipulation technique, Xia Youjie knew all too well how troublesome it would be to exhaust himself to death within the domain space.
Before killing all the spirits that the Spirit Manipulation Technique can control, it is impossible to kill the opponent.
Therefore, only by quickly depleting the opponent's cursed spirit can you inflict effective damage on them.
It was precisely for this reason that his attack was no longer a single cursed spirit's attack, but rather the combined curse power of 3,421 level-two cursed spirits being forcibly drawn and fused together by his domain, transforming into a dark purple torrent mixed with countless cursed spirit bodies and whispered curses.
The inspiration for this move actually comes from Gojo Satoru's [Zi].
According to Xia Youjie, Gojo Satoru is able to use his abilities to create [Zi], a highly lethal attack method after fusion.
Then on my side, I should also be able to create the same technique using the domain.
It's like the [Extreme Vortex].
The purple torrent, upon its formation, surged toward Lu Suo with terrifying power!
After the terrifying torrent of cursed power engulfed everything, even the space within the domain began to distort slightly, groaning under the unbearable pressure.
If the barrier and the torrent of magical power hadn't been Xia Youjie's own techniques, possessing a certain degree of resistance, that attack might have even broken through Xia Youjie's own barrier.
At this moment, Lu Suo's expression was solemn. His hands moved rapidly, manipulating the original cursed spirits in Xia Youjie's body to try to resist. In an instant, countless cursed spirits emerged from Xia Youjie's side. Some of them were captured by him using Xia Youjie's curses, while others were originally present in Xia Youjie's body.
Under Xia Youjie's forced control, almost all of these cursed spirits were twisted together, turning into a wall made of flesh and blood.
A loud bang rang out.
boom!
The terrifying torrent crashed against the barrier with a deafening roar.
In an instant, almost half of the cursed spirits constructed by Lu Suo were killed or injured.
Countless cursed spirits were shattered to pieces, but what made Lu Suo's scalp tingle even more was that the flesh and blood of those shattered cursed spirits were being devoured by this barrier!
