Chapter 41: The Awakening of Satoru Gojo
Toho Hiroshi looked at Riko Amanai; those eyes, which had always been filled with worry and fear, were now flickering with a faint yet firm light of hope.
"Ah, it is safe now."
Toho Hiroshi finally nodded, giving a definite reply, "You can go wherever you want."
Satoru Gojo grinned and snapped his fingers: "A perfect conclusion. Although the process was a bit convoluted, the result is good~ Let's go, let's leave this unlucky place first. As for the subsequent trouble..."
A look of disdain flashed in his pale blue eyes: "The current me... is the honored one throughout heaven and earth!"
After Satoru Gojo finished this sentence, he cast a meaningful look at Toho Hiroshi.
Having achieved a qualitative leap in strength, he seemed impatient to find an outlet, and that person was Toho Hiroshi.
Toho Hiroshi naturally understood Satoru Gojo's look. After instructing Suguru Geto to take Riko Amanai and Kuroi Misato back to Jujutsu High, he and Satoru Gojo quickly disappeared from the spot.
Suguru Geto watched the two figures who had left him behind. His lips moved a few times, but in the end, he said nothing, only letting out a bitter, low laugh.
"What is wrong, Geto-kun?"
Riko Amanai noticed Suguru Geto's abnormality and asked worriedly: "Did something happen?"
Suguru Geto shook his head, signaling that he was fine, and urged them not to worry.
"Let's go."
Riko Amanai did not notice the flash of gloom that passed through Suguru Geto's eyes when he turned around.
...
On the other side.
Toho Hiroshi's figure solidified amidst the distorted spatial ripples, stepping onto the barren mountainous terrain.
Almost the moment he landed, the space on the other side fluctuated slightly, and Satoru Gojo's figure appeared, looking as leisurely as if he had come for a stroll.
"Toho, you really are fast."
Satoru Gojo's mouth curled into an eager smile. The invisible "Infinity" force field around him made it difficult for the surrounding dust to get close, and that new, perfect, and powerful aura was displayed without any concealment.
Toho Hiroshi did not answer, just watching him quietly. Under the slightly dim sky, his Mangekyo Sharingan swirled with a luster that was deeper and darker than ever before.
The battle with Fushiguro Toji, especially that Black Flash which fused the power of Kamui at the end, had allowed him to take a new step in his understanding and control of his own power.
At this moment, his state was also at a subtle peak.
The two stood facing each other, separated by a distance of no more than a hundred meters.
The air seemed to have frozen, and even the wind seemed to have sensed the danger and quietly ceased.
On the barren mountainside, only withered grass swayed silently.
No words were needed; the fighting spirit was the best form of communication.
The smile on Satoru Gojo's face widened. Suddenly, he shifted his feet, and his body shot out like a cannonball.
Halfway there, he covered his fist with the power of "Blue" and smashed it towards Toho Hiroshi.
Toho Hiroshi did not retreat but advanced, meeting the punch head-on.
"Bang—"
The two fists collided, and an explosion came from where they clashed.
The next second, both retreated simultaneously, putting a distance of dozens of meters between them.
Toho Hiroshi looked at him with a solemn expression, from which one could vaguely glimpse his admiration for Satoru Gojo.
"Truly impressive, Satoru."
Satoru Gojo chuckled: "Likewise."
Everyone loves compliments, especially when the person being praised is a strong individual they recognize.
The pale blue light in Satoru Gojo's eyes flared, with a brilliance like never before.
At his fingertips, he condensed a power of extreme repulsion, the exact opposite of the attraction of "Blue." This was Cursed Technique Reversal—"Red."
A massive, all-repelling red energy sphere rapidly formed at his fingertips, and the surrounding space distorted and trembled slightly because of its existence.
"Go."
He flicked his finger, and that red energy sphere did not shoot out in a straight line, but at a super-high speed with a nearly distorted trajectory, carrying the terrifying power to crush everything in its path as it blasted towards Toho Hiroshi.
The power of this strike was far superior to the previous "Blue"; it was a qualitative leap.
Facing this oncoming destructive energy, Toho Hiroshi's eyes narrowed, and his Mangekyo Sharingan spun crazily.
[Susanoo]
Massive purple Cursed Energy soared into the sky, instantly surpassing the previous skeletal form. Muscles and meridians grew and covered the bones crazily, and then a set of ancient and majestic Tengu armor quickly solidified, wrapping around his upper body.
Third Form · Susanoo.
As soon as this half-body, war-god-like giant appeared, the massive pressure it emitted and the Cursed Energy that was condensed into substance made Satoru Gojo's Six Eyes light up sharply, the excitement on his face almost overflowing.
"Whoa! What is this? A Susanoo form I have never seen before! This is absolutely amazing!"
Almost at the moment "Red" was about to collide with Susanoo.
Boom——
A deafening explosion resounded throughout the entire barren mountain area!
The red repulsive energy and the purple Susanoo collided violently.
A terrifying energy shockwave spread out in a ring, kicking up waves of dirt from the ground. Countless gravel was instantly pulverized into dust, and the distant mountain rocks rumbled as if a violent earthquake had occurred.
Dazzling light swallowed everything, making it impossible to look directly at it.
The light slowly dissipated.
Toho Hiroshi was seen standing unharmed under the protection of the Tengu-armored Susanoo.
Susanoo's huge arms were crossed in front of it, and the armor on the arms had fine cracks, which were being quickly repaired by the surging Cursed Energy. However, the overall structure remained intact, having forcibly taken this "Red" that was capable of leveling a small hill.
"Hahaha, impressive. Too impressive."
Satoru Gojo was not alarmed but delighted, laughing loudly, his voice filled with the ecstasy of meeting an opponent worthy of his full effort, "To be able to block 'Red' head-on! Your tortoise shell is ridiculously hard! Hao."
The Cursed Energy within his body surged even more violently due to his extreme excitement.
Through the crystal-like protection of Susanoo, Toho Hiroshi looked at the exceptionally excited Satoru Gojo in the distance, a faint arc also curving at the corner of his mouth.
He could feel that the defensive power of the advanced Susanoo had been greatly improved, and the consumption of Cursed Energy had actually become more efficient due to the more stable structure.
"Defense alone won't win against me."
Satoru Gojo laughed, raised his hands again, his pale blue eyes flashing with endless light, "Try this next! The combined use of 'Blue' and 'Red'——"
His left and right hands condensed the powers of extreme "attraction" and extreme "repulsion" respectively.
Under his exquisite control, the two diametrically opposed yet homologous forces began to undergo an astonishing combinatorial change!
A brand new, even more dangerous and unpredictable power was being born.
Toho Hiroshi's Sharingan instantly captured the terrifying energy fluctuations contained within that were enough to cut through space, and his eyes also became incomparably solemn.
The battle entered a whole new phase.
