Fushiguro Shin sighed. He knew that once Gojo Satoru said something like that, he was definitely serious.
Seeing Shin's reaction, Gojo Satoru knew very well that Shin had given up resisting, so he opened his mouth to ask.
"So, do we need to change locations?"
Gojo Satoru was, of course, well aware of the fact that Fushiguro Shin had always kept a very low profile regarding his own strength.
After brief consideration, Shin thought that information related to his Domain could become a point of strategic advantage in an information gap. Spreading it out through this opportunity might not be a bad idea.
Shin also noticed that everyone present had already focused their gaze on him.
He slowly stood up and said calmly, "No need to change locations. We'll do it right here."
This answer surprised Gojo Satoru a bit. It wasn't that Shin was willing to show his power.
But rather, was power sufficient to suppress Sukuna really going to be displayed in a place gathering so many people?
With a burst of speed, Fushiguro Shin appeared beside Maki.
"Senior Maki, could I borrow your Cursed Tool? I didn't expect to fight someone like this today."
Maki was now extremely curious about Shin's strength, so she naturally wouldn't refuse such a request. Moreover, the baseline favorability had already reached twenty.
Maki took off the pack holding the Cursed Tool and said to Fushiguro Shin.
"No problem. I remember you're more accustomed to using a sword, but I didn't happen to bring one today. A glaive should be fine for you, right?"
Fushiguro Shin took the long-hafted glaive from Maki's hand and casually twirled it, creating a flower-like pattern with the blade.
"No problem, you're a huge help. I'll treat you to lunch tomorrow."
Gojo Satoru also watched Shin with great interest, asking with a smile.
"So, are you ready?"
Fushiguro Shin didn't answer Gojo's question. Instead, he instructed the others.
"Megumi, Kugisaki, and you, senior, please step back a bit further. Although it shouldn't affect you..."
Gojo Satoru, however, caught the key point in Shin's words. 'Won't affect others' ,what exactly did that mean?
[Consuming experience, initiating Two-Way Heavenly Restriction.]
The immense surge of Cursed Energy that Fushiguro Shin instantly released immediately startled Kugisaki, Inumaki, Panda, and Maki. Fushiguro Megumi wasn't too surprised; he was already used to his older brother Shin being a powerful existence.
Before Maki could speak, the next moment, everyone including Gojo Satoru was plunged into an even deeper level of shock.
Without making any movement, Fushiguro Shin spoke calmly.
"Domain Expansion: sins requiem."
"Shin knows a Domain?"
Maki was almost speechless with shock. She now had a belly full of questions she wanted to press Shin on.
Why could he, also burdened with a Reverse Heavenly Restriction, erupt with this level of Cursed Energy? How exactly did he do it?
And despite bearing a Reverse Heavenly Restriction, he could actually use a Domain?!
But at this moment, she could only wait until this duel was over.
Gojo Satoru, however, clapped his hands and praised, "Truly worthy of Shin."
Fushiguro Shin opened his mouth and said, "Anyone can freely enter or exit this Domain. It does not directly activate on any person or Cursed Spirit. Even if someone is caught in it, the effect will be nullified. It only produces an effect on a specific individual. As for the effect... I don't want to tell you."
After Fushiguro Shin disclosed the information about Malevolent Shrine, everyone fell into a brief silence.
After all, for a Domain, the conditions were far too restrictive.
Although Gojo Satoru was somewhat shocked, he was the first to guess that this Domain was probably prepared for him.
What kind of twisted emotion must a Jujutsu Sorcerer possess to restrict their only Domain to such an extent?
This wasn't love or affection, but Fushiguro Shin's pure hatred, the hatred that had lingered around him ever since the day Toji died.
Gojo Satoru couldn't help but feel a bit regretful. If not for this twisted fate, if Shin weren't living for hatred, he would undoubtedly become a Jujutsu Sorcerer not inferior to himself one day.
Gojo Satoru asked directly, "If you can use a Domain, it should also mean you've awakened a Cursed Technique, right?"
Fushiguro Shin didn't answer with words. His figure instantly melted into the shadows.
Seeing this situation, Fushiguro Megumi had the strongest reaction.
"The Ten Shadows Technique?"
The next second, Fushiguro Shin instantly appeared from the shadow beneath Gojo Satoru, thrusting the glaive in his hand fiercely towards Gojo's back, aiming for his heart.
Gojo Satoru reacted almost simultaneously, extending his right hand to block the strike head-on.
However, the Cursed Energy imbued in the glaive directly pierced through his palm.
'What on earth is this?'
Gojo Satoru didn't mind an injury of this level; after all, he could easily heal it using Reverse Cursed Technique. What astonished him was that from the glaive, he sensed his own incredibly familiar 'Blue'.
Fushiguro Shin, looking at the wound he had caused, was only reflecting that this level was indeed still insufficient.
With the guaranteed-hit effect's Blessing, it was indeed enough to injure Gojo Satoru, but it was still far from defeating or killing him. After all, the Two-Way Heavenly Restriction was activated by consuming experience.
Moreover, he hadn't yet mastered Reverse Cursed Technique, Simple Domain, and other necessary skills. His revenge wasn't aimed at Gojo Satoru alone, and he absolutely could not afford any mistakes.
Thinking this, Fushiguro Shin retracted the glaive and halted the next technique he was preparing to release, saying calmly, "Anyway, the situation back then was roughly like this."
Gojo Satoru used Reverse Cursed Technique and easily healed the injury on his hand.
"If it's at this level, it's certainly enough for the current Sukuna. However, if your opponent is me, you'll need to work harder at this level."
"Of course I know that."
"By the way, what's the name of the technique you just used?"
"Ten Shadows Technique: Shadow Demon."
[Ten Shadows Technique: Shadow Demon: Can burrow from a shadow into the opponent's shadow, attacking from point-blank range.]
"Ten Shadows Technique..."
Almost everyone simultaneously repeated this name.
Ten Shadows Technique undoubtedly made one think of the Ten Shadows Technique, the hereditary Cursed Technique of the Zen'in Family, one of The Big Three Families in the Jujutsu World, the very technique possessed by Fushiguro Megumi.
In Gojo Satoru's view, a technique with'shadow' as its core undoubtedly indicated a connection to the Zen'in Family. However, it being 'Ten Shadows Technique' and not 'Ten Shadows Technique' seemed to draw a line of separation.
He couldn't help but think: Heaven and Curse and Ten Shadows Technique. It seemed that between Toji's two children, Shin was the one more valuable to the Zen'in Family.
Indeed, only he had sensed it correctly from the very beginning.
[Gojo Satoru's favorability has risen to forty-five. Gained five hundred experience points.]
After pondering the connection between the two shadow-based techniques, the other Jujutsu High students couldn't help but feel a sense of dread. Facing such a near-perfect ambush, they questioned whether, without prior knowledge, they could have escaped unscathed.
