Shibuya.
A powerful Special Grade Cursed Spirit, covered in sharp exoskeletons and possessing an immense body, was battling several Jujutsu Sorcerers from Jujutsu High.
The Cursed Spirit on the battlefield was none other than, one of the Cursed Womb: Death Painting, specifically number eight, resurrected by Mahito.
Because Mahito had embedded a finger of the King of Curses, Ryomen Sukuna, into each of the nine Cursed Womb during their resurrection, all nine Cursed Womb gained power far exceeding that of ordinary Special Grade Cursed Spirits after being revived. Furthermore, Mahito had destroyed their brains before their resurrection and after completing their embodiment, turning the nine Cursed Womb into killing machines with no thoughts, only destructive instincts.
At this moment, Special Grade Cursed Spirit Mahito stood brazenly amidst the chaotic crowd, watching his "masterpiece" with great interest.
"Mahito."
Suddenly, a Cursed Spirit resembling a crow appeared behind Mahito, speaking with Kenjaku's voice, startling Mahito, who was about to intervene.
"It's you, you scared me."
Mahito subconsciously distanced himself from Kenjaku's Cursed Spirit, his eyes full of wariness, yet he still asked with a grin,
"Aren't you being hunted by Satoru Gojo? Why are you back here?"
As he spoke, without waiting for Kenjaku to answer, he pointed to the Cursed Spirit fighting nearby and excitedly said,
"Also, look over there. That's the Cursed Womb I resurrected using the King of Curses' fingers. Unexpectedly useful!~"
Kenjaku heard this, glanced at the Cursed Spirit battling the Jujutsu Sorcerers from Jujutsu High, and nodded slightly, saying,
"Indeed, very good. Although it still can't compare to Jogo and the others, it's already sufficient. How many of Sukuna's fingers did you use on that Cursed Spirit?"
"One."
Mahito held up one finger toward Kenjaku, then excitedly said, "This Cursed Spirit is numbered 'eight' among the nine Cursed Womb. Cursed Womb numbers four to nine can only withstand one of Sukuna's fingers. However, the first three numbered Cursed Womb each received more than three of Sukuna's fingers, and their Cursed Energy also received a huge boost.
"But before they awakened, I destroyed their brains, turning them into monsters that only know destruction. After they awakened, even I didn't dare get too close."
"The first three Cursed Womb each received more than three of Sukuna's fingers?"
After hearing Mahito's words, Kenjaku showed a slight smile, then looked at him and said, "Since that's the case, we don't need to worry about things here. Let's go find Satoru Gojo."
"Go find Satoru Gojo? Us?!"
Mahito was stunned when he heard Kenjaku's words, then shook his head and waved his hands repeatedly, directly refusing. "That guy is too terrifying. I don't want to meet him."
Mahito was a curse born from humanity's hatred and fear toward other humans, so he looked down on humans from the bottom of his heart.
But Satoru Gojo was an exception. After witnessing Satoru Gojo's power firsthand last time, Mahito clearly understood that the man was definitely not an opponent he could deal with right now. Going to find Satoru Gojo now was no different from seeking death.
"Are you scared?"
Kenjaku couldn't help but chuckle when he heard Mahito's reply, then said,
"Don't worry, I've already found help that can deal with Satoru Gojo. We just need to hold the Prison Realm and wait for the right moment to seal him. Don't you want to personally seal the strongest Jujutsu Sorcerer among humans?"
After Kenjaku had "persuaded" Tengen, he immediately sent out a Cursed Spirit to find Mahito, preparing to trick him into going to Tombs of star corridor to use the Prison Realm on Satoru Gojo.
"Me? Personally seal Satoru Gojo?!"
Mahito heard Kenjaku's words and instinctively wanted to refuse, yet he was very interested in the idea of personally sealing Satoru Gojo.
After a moment of silence, he looked at Kenjaku and said, "Tell me your plan. If the risk is too great, I won't go."
"Don't worry, there's no risk at all."
Kenjaku couldn't help but laugh when he heard Mahito's words. Then he told Mahito his plan to join forces with Tengen and seal Satoru Gojo in Star Palace. After hearing it, Mahito also felt that Kenjaku's plan was very reliable, so he agreed to his request, then followed the Cursed Spirit he sent and rushed toward Star Palace.
----
Tombs of star corrido was a special space hidden by multiple barriers, and its location constantly changed according to Tengen's mood. Without Tengen's permission, it was basically impossible for outsiders to find Star Palace's location.
When Satoru Gojo found this place, Tombs of star corridor's barrier was already open, as if it had long known he would come and was opening its gates to welcome him.
Satoru Gojo was not surprised by this, and he swaggered in.
After Satoru Gojo entered Tombs of star corridor, he quickly met its owner, the omniscient Jujutsu Sorcerer, Tengen.
"Tengen-sama, long time no see."
Satoru Gojo came before Tengen, his gaze sweeping around before he looked at him and asked,
"Where's the guy who asked me to meet him here? I've already come here as agreed, but he still dares not show himself?"
"His name is Kenjaku."
Tengen sighed slightly when he heard Satoru Gojo's words and said, "He should have already arrived, but he doesn't want to meet you yet."
"Doesn't want to? Or doesn't dare to?"
Satoru Gojo couldn't help but scoff when he heard Tengen's words. Then he asked, "So, Tengen-sama, can you tell me what your relationship with that guy is?"
"He and I... are probably old friends."
Tengen hesitated for a moment, then sighed softly, saying, "When one lives long enough, it's inevitable to meet some strange people. Not to mention that Kenjaku is also a Jujutsu Sorcerer who has lived for a thousand years. Although our methods of long-term survival are different, it's inevitable that we would have some interactions."
"Kenjaku, a Jujutsu Sorcerer who has lived for a thousand years?!"
Satoru Gojo pondered for a moment after hearing Tengen's words, then asked, "That guy asking me to meet him here—I'm afraid his relationship with you, Tengen-sama, is not just 'some interactions,' right?"
"Indeed, which is why I consider him an old friend."
Tengen heard Satoru Gojo's question and did not deny it, instead frankly admitting his "friendship" with Kenjaku. Then he showed a nostalgic expression and said,
"The last time Kenjaku and I met was four hundred years ago.
"At that time, he told me that he believed the root of the conflict between humans and Cursed Spirits lay in the uneven distribution of Cursed Energy. So he planned to transform all humanity into a new life form with stable Cursed Energy, thereby eliminating the hidden danger of Cursed Energy losing control. He called his plan 'Cursed Energy Optimization' and has been working toward this goal.
"Although I didn't think he could complete such a plan, I didn't try to stop him or mock him. After all, that can be considered a grand goal, can't it?"
"Heh heh, indeed a grand goal!~"
Satoru Gojo couldn't help but chuckle after hearing Tengen's words, then spread his hands and said, "But what does that have to do with me?
"I'm completely uninterested in such things, and that guy did something I can absolutely never forgive, so he must die!"
As he spoke, Satoru Gojo stared at Tengen and expressionlessly said, "No matter who it is, anyone who tries to stop me from killing him will be considered my enemy, even you, Tengen-sama."
