"Enchain."
The word fell like a curse.
In an instant, the once chaotic battlefield froze into silence.
Yuji Itadori's body trembled violently.
His clear eyes turned blood-red.
Black tattoos spread across his face like living serpents.
The King of Curses had awakened.
Ryomen Sukuna.
"How… how is this possible?!"
Hana Kurusu's pupils shrank.
She could clearly feel it.
The existence sealed inside Yuji—the "Fallen" she sought to destroy—had taken complete control.
"Sukuna?!"
Megumi Fushiguro stared in shock.
His sister had just revealed herself as the ancient sorcerer Yorozu.
And now even Yuji had lost control.
What kind of nightmare was unfolding?
"Relax."
Sukuna stretched his neck lazily.
His bones cracked.
He glanced briefly toward the distant sky where Yorozu had already disappeared.
"That woman…"
"…moves quickly."
Then his gaze returned.
"To more important matters."
His crimson eyes settled on Hana Kurusu.
"What are you doing?"
Hana instinctively tried to activate her cursed technique.
But Sukuna was faster.
Bang.
His hand struck the back of her neck.
The vessel of the Angel collapsed instantly.
"Annoying."
Sukuna tossed her aside like discarded garbage.
Then he slowly turned—
Toward Megumi.
"Fushiguro."
His voice carried twisted amusement.
"You look desperate."
"You struggled so hard."
"You gathered points."
"You endured curses."
"All to save your sister."
"But in the end…"
He chuckled softly.
"Your sister was never yours to save."
"All your effort merely helped that woman return."
"That feeling…"
"…must be wonderful."
Megumi trembled.
Not from fear.
From grief.
From rage.
"Shut up…"
He forced cursed energy through his body.
"Divine Dogs!"
The black and white wolves of the Ten Shadows Technique burst from his shadow.
They lunged at Sukuna.
But before the King of Curses—
Such resistance was meaningless.
"Pathetic."
Sukuna waved his hand.
BOOM.
The Divine Dogs were obliterated.
They dissolved into shadow fragments.
Megumi staggered.
Sukuna stepped closer.
Looking down at him like prey.
"You see?"
"Your soul is cracking."
A greedy smile appeared.
"I've been waiting for this moment."
"The moment your spirit breaks."
Then—
Sukuna plunged his hand into his own chest.
PFFT.
Blood splashed.
But he showed no pain.
His grin only widened.
With brutal force—
He ripped off one of his fingers.
The cursed finger burned with terrifying power.
The essence of Sukuna himself.
He stepped forward.
Preparing to force the finger into Megumi's mouth.
To take the body he had always desired.
But at that moment—
BOOM!!!
The sky exploded.
A thunderous shockwave shattered the clouds.
A blazing blue streak descended like a meteor.
"RYOMEN SUKUNA!!!"
The roar shook the entire barrier.
The figure slammed down between Sukuna and Megumi.
BANG!!!
The ground collapsed.
Dust surged skyward.
The shockwave blasted Megumi away.
Then—
The dust cleared.
A tall figure rose slowly.
White hair swayed in the wind.
Azure eyes burned with killing intent.
Yagami Sora had arrived.
"Trying to harm my student?"
His gaze locked onto Sukuna.
Invisible vectors roared around him.
The air vibrated violently.
"You should ask me first."
Sukuna narrowed his eyes.
Blood still dripped from his severed finger.
"…You again."
"That annoying brat."
The pressure between them thickened.
Two monsters facing each other.
The battlefield trembled.
Sukuna suddenly laughed.
A wild, arrogant laugh.
"Interesting."
Behind them—
Yuji Itadori stared blankly.
His mind was shattered.
What had just happened?
Sukuna—
Had escaped him.
And now…
Megumi was in danger.
"Give Fushiguro back to me!!!"
Yuji roared.
He charged forward.
His fist flew toward Sukuna's face.
It carried all his rage.
All his despair.
But Sukuna caught it effortlessly.
"Too slow."
He flicked Yuji aside like trash.
"Now that I've found a better vessel…"
"…this cage of yours has no use."
BOOM!
Cursed energy exploded.
Yuji was blasted away.
He crashed into a ruined building.
Blood sprayed from his mouth.
His body refused to move.
Despair consumed him.
Megumi was lost.
His sister was gone.
The Angel was unconscious.
Gojo Satoru remained sealed inside the Prison Realm.
Was this truly the end?
Then—
A sonic boom tore through the sky.
A blue meteor crashed down.
BOOM!!!
A massive crater formed.
Dust filled the air.
At its center—
Yagami Sora stood silently.
His expression dark.
He looked at the transformed figure before him.
Megumi's body.
But Sukuna's presence.
"…I'm late."
His voice was cold.
Sukuna turned.
Their eyes met.
For the first time—
Sukuna looked serious.
"Yagami Sora."
"The brat who manipulates vectors."
"You came to die?"
Sora sneered.
"Die?"
The air froze.
Pebbles rose from the ground.
Countless stones hovered like bullets.
A storm of vectors formed around him.
"No."
"I came to…"
"…force you out of Fushiguro's body."
The battlefield fell silent.
Two monsters.
One possessed body.
And a war about to begin.
