Chapter 115: Declaring War on the World
Yaga and the others wore expressions of despair; in the face of this absolute power, they did not even have the room to struggle.
However, at the very moment the "True Sphere" was about to strike them, it seemed to collide with an invisible wall, suddenly coming to a halt, and then silently dissipating.
Domain dispelled.
Uro looked at Toho Hiroshi in confusion, only to see that he had raised his hand at some unknown moment, a faint glimmer shining in his Rinnegan.
"That is enough, Uro."
Toho Hiroshi said calmly, "Spare their lives for now."
Though Uro was puzzled, she obeyed Toho Hiroshi's command absolutely, immediately withdrawing her Cursed Energy, dispelling her Armor of Insects, and obediently retreating behind him.
Yaga and the others were still shaken, looking at Toho Hiroshi in disbelief.
They did not understand why this man, who intended to push forward the Eye of the Moon world-ending plan, would show mercy at this moment.
Toho Hiroshi did not explain; his gaze passed over the group and cast toward the deepest part of the Tomb Chamber.
He stepped forward, and although Yaga and the others tried to stop him, they were gently pushed away by an invisible force, unable to get near him at all.
He walked as if in his own courtyard, arriving unimpeded at the secret chamber where Tengen's true body resided.
That was an existence that could not be described by common sense; it transcended human form and was integrated with the entire Tomb Chamber, and even the Barrier of Japan.
"You have come, anomaly."
Tengen's ancient, ethereal voice resonated directly in Toho Hiroshi's mind.
"I have come, Tengen."
Toho Hiroshi stood before that massive existence, his Rinnegan meeting its gaze, "For this moment, I have been acting for a full ten years."
Tengen's voice carried a hint of fluctuation: "Ten years... Ever since you first stepped into Tokyo Jujutsu High and displayed that extraordinary potential, I have been observing you."
"Your growth, your philosophy, your 'Eye of the Moon' plan... were they all to deceive me?"
"That is correct."
Toho Hiroshi admitted frankly, "You are the immortal Barrier master, possessing 'omniscience' with a near-god's perspective."
"If I did not make you believe my goal was to create an illusory dream world, how else would you have lowered your guard and given me the chance to touch the core of this Barrier, to touch you?"
His voice gradually turned cold: "Eye of the Moon? Infinite Tsukuyomi? Those are merely fairy tales told to mortals wallowing in pain; they were a necessary process to paralyze you and to gather 'fuel'."
"My true goal is to condense the immense negative emotions produced by humans across all of Japan, and even the whole world, in their despair, pain, and fear, and use the Culling Game as a crucible to create an unprecedented, ultimate collection of Cursed Spirits!"
"Then, I will fuse with the Gedo Statue, devour it, and become a true—god!"
Tengen was silent, and after a long while, sighed: "A world that ends Curses, using the most extreme Curse to achieve oneself and become a god that transcends everything?"
"Toho Hiroshi, you are walking a path darker than any Curse."
"Whether it is dark or not is written by the victor."
Toho Hiroshi reached out his hand, and several pitch-black rods—black rods—appeared in his palm.
"Now, hand over your power, your existence, into my control. The Culling Game requires you, the 'administrator', to initiate and maintain it."
The black rods pierced precisely into Tengen's body buried beneath the tree roots.
When Toho Hiroshi's black rods completely pierced the core where Tengen was integrated with the Barrier, an invisible fluctuation that shook the foundations of the world erupted from the Tomb Chamber, spreading explosively.
The sky over the entirety of Japan seemed to dim for an instant at this moment.
It was not clouds obscuring it, but rather some more fundamental "rule" being rewritten.
Immediately following this, everyone possessing Cursed Energy, whether they were a Jujutsu Sorcerer or a Curse User, felt their hearts skip a beat, and an indescribable sense of restraint and an inexplicable restlessness surged into their minds simultaneously.
"The Culling Game" had begun.
But Toho Hiroshi's plan went far beyond this.
He stood at the core of the Tomb Chamber, his Rinnegan looking into the void, as if piercing through layers of obstacles to see the entire world.
"Mei Mei."
He called out softly, his voice transmitted through some invisible link.
Far away, thousands of miles away, Mei Mei, who was dealing with a Curse incident alongside Uro, stiffened suddenly.
Her Cursed Technique, "Black Bird Manipulation," activated on its own, uncontrollably, and thousands of crows gathered from all directions; their pupils were no longer simple bird eyes, but reflected Toho Hiroshi's deep Rinnegan.
These crows let out hoarse cries and then transformed into streaks of black light, shooting into the sky; they were not physical entities, but a kind of aggregate of Cursed Energy and information.
Their "gaze," relayed through Mei Mei's Cursed Technique, was forcibly connected to the electronic signal networks in every corner of the globe—televisions, computers, mobile phone screens... Every device capable of displaying images had its screen switched at the same moment.
On the screens appeared the figure of Toho Hiroshi. He hovered before the deep background of the Tomb Chamber, his Rinnegan emitting a cold and majestic light, overlooking the lens as if overlooking all living beings.
"Ordinary people of the world, and the Jujutsu Sorcerers hiding in the shadows."
Toho Hiroshi's voice was calm but carried a strange penetrating power, resonating in everyone's ears through the screens, acting directly upon their minds.
"Today, I will reveal to you the 'truth' of this world."
Kyoto, in some ruins where a fierce battle was taking place.
Satoru Gojo had just blasted a resurrected ancient Jujutsu Sorcerer into smithereens with a single "Red," and the relaxed smile on his face vanished instantly at the moment of the sky's anomaly and the palpitation in his heart.
Immediately after, the phone in his pocket vibrated crazily, and the screen of a damaged television in the nearby ruins automatically lit up, reflecting Toho Hiroshi's face.
"What is this guy trying to do!"
Satoru Gojo pulled off his blindfold, his Six Eyes spinning crazily, instantly analyzing the rule changes permeating heaven and earth and this global signal intrusion.
When he heard Toho Hiroshi speak of the "truth of the world," an extremely ominous premonition surged into his heart.
"Could he..."
Somewhere in a secret underground space.
Kenjaku, who had reoccupied Itadori Kaori's body, was smiling as he admired the world map in chaos due to the awakening of ancient sorcerers, when suddenly, the smile on his face froze.
He felt the activation of the "Culling Game," and even more, he saw on the screen that man who had disrupted all his plans.
"Toho Hiroshi! You actually took a step ahead of me!"
For the first time, shock and anger appeared in Kenjaku's eyes as his plans completely slipped out of his control, "Not only did you use Tengen to start the Culling Game, but you also directly laid your cards out to the whole world!"
Tokyo, a neighborhood where a Cursed disturbance had just subsided.
Yuji Itadori and Choso fought side by side, repelling a wave of Curse Users.
Itadori panted, looking at the large street screen that had suddenly lit up, stunned.
"Toho-senpai? What is he..."
Choso's expression was incomparably grave: "He is going to tear apart the curtain hidden for a thousand years completely..."
PS: The story is about to reach its final stage; I can only tell everyone that the final ending will definitely be a happy ending. I cannot say anything more.
