Chapter 1401 - 987: He Will Definitely Come Looking for Me Again (2)

"So the Destruction Revisit was held for such a reason."

"That means Knot is almost done with his plan now, just one last step, and billions of people in this country will turn into non-humans?"

"...Will they turn into pandas?"

"...Mentaiko."

Everyone started chatting, making the scene quite noisy.

"We can’t let the Destruction Revisit end." Okkotsu Yuta concluded, saying seriously: "Once the Destruction Revisit ends, the curse energy that fills the ten barriers will be released, and Knot’s plan will be fully completed, impossible for anyone to stop."

"You mean we actually have to protect the Destruction Revisit from ending this time?" Zenin Maki frowned and said: "What a terrible situation."

"That’s just the beginning." Hakari Kinji said calmly: "The Destruction Revisit isn’t so easily ended, to achieve his purpose, Knot must have used many binding mechanisms to reinforce its operation, now those bindings have become his hindrance instead, ending the Destruction Revisit might be even harder for him than it is for us."

"What’s really troublesome is, there’s someone by that guy’s side..."

"Ryomensukuna."

Hakari Kinji’s analysis promptly prompted an interjection from Angel.

"If that Fallen one has truly restored his full strength, and acquired the Zenin Family’s [Shadow Techniques] of such caliber, then it’s a disaster."

"Although I must eliminate him, I have to say, the current situation is quite dire."

"With that Fallen one by Knot’s side, we can’t possibly stop Knot’s next plan."

At the mention of Ryomensukuna, Angel even temporarily took control of Kurusu Hana’s body, no longer just showing her mouth, but letting her soul surface to discuss with everyone.

"To stop Knot’s plan, we must prioritize one thing, which is how to deal with Ryomensukuna."

Upon hearing this, everyone’s gaze couldn’t help but focus on Reiger.

Among everyone present, only Reiger consistently remained the most composed, even cold.

"You don’t have to worry about Ryomensukuna." Reiger said indifferently: "Though he retreated this time, he’s not one to stay quiet."

"His innately savage, defiant, lawless character, and self-importance will drive him to immediately return once he’s ready."

"He will definitely come to find me again."

This is the one thing Reiger can be sure of.

"Then, I’ll deal with him, you just need to handle Knot and that guy called Li Mei." Reiger said to everyone: "The current issue is, Itadori has fallen into enemy hands, it’s likely that he’s already in big trouble."

"Fushiguro has also become Sukuna’s vessel, retrieving him is no longer possible."

"Given this situation, we absolutely have to find a way to get Gojo Satoru back."

"Having lost Itadori and Fushiguro, we can’t let anything happen to Gojo."

Hearing Reiger’s words, everyone nodded in agreement.

"But how do we reclaim the Prison Gate Border?" Panda scratched his head and said: "The Prison Gate Border is with Knot, Knot is with Sukuna, don’t we still have to defeat Sukuna and Knot first to get it back?"

"That shouldn’t be necessary." Tsukumo Yuki spoke up, drawing everyone’s attention to her, and said: "After Brilliant cut off Knot’s head, most of his body remained on the battlefield, if the Prison Gate Border is with him, then Brilliant would have already brought it back, right?"

Tsukumo Yuki turned to Reiger, prompting a nod from Reiger.

"The Prison Gate Border is not with Knot." Reiger said: "Knot didn’t carry the Prison Gate Border with him."

Thus, the Prison Gate Border is likely not by Knot’s side, nor by Ryomensukuna’s side, but somewhere else.

"Then how do we reclaim the Prison Gate Border?" Hakari Kinji also frowned, saying: "In essence, for a legendary cursed object like the Prison Gate Border, even if we acquire it, how do we lift its seal to release Professor Gojo."

The activation conditions for the Prison Gate Border are stringent.

Conversely, its releasing conditions are equally stringent.

This is also a form of binding, using stringent activation conditions to increase the difficulty of release.

So, even if we reclaim the Prison Gate Border, it’s likely only Knot knows how to lift its seal.

"No need to worry about that."

Angel raised her hand to speak at this point.

"My spell should be able to lift the seal on the Prison Gate Border, releasing Gojo Satoru."

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately shifted their gaze back to the Angel.

"Can you undo the seal on the Prison Gate Border?"

Okkotsu Yuta hastily asked.

"Yes." The Angel nodded heavily, saying, "I can eliminate all spells."

"Any curse in front of me will be purified by my light."

"This is my spell—[Heaven’s Ladder of Divinity]."

A spell that can eliminate spells!

Upon learning that the Angel possessed such a spell, everyone present showed expressions of surprise.

Even Reiger was slightly taken aback at first and then couldn’t help but become intrigued.

It sounds like a spell of significant worth to acquire.

Thinking about this, Reiger immediately spoke, "Then leave finding the Prison Gate Border to me."

"Can you do it?" Okkotsu Yuta confirmed with Reiger.

Reiger nodded.

At this point, he’s no longer planning to continue searching for the Prison Gate Border in inefficient ways.

Although it requires some experience points, if it’s just locating the position of the Prison Gate Border, even invoking [Wish Upon a Star], the cost shouldn’t be too high.

Once the Prison Gate Border is found, the task of undoing the seal will be handed over to the Angel.

This way, he can witness her spell firsthand and acquire such a rare spell for himself.

"No time to delay, I’ll start the action now." Reiger decisively said, "Watch the barriers of Destruction Revisit. If you notice any movement from Ryomensukuna’s side, notify me immediately."

With that, Reiger turned to Nishizawa Kikyo.

"Help me prepare a quiet room, Nishizawa."

Nishizawa Kikyo immediately nodded repeatedly, leading Reiger out of the conference room.

The others looked at the resolute Reiger, exchanging glances.

"Hope everything goes smoothly."

Okkotsu Yuta murmured, causing Zenin Maki and the others to nod silently.

"Hey, are you okay?"

Nearby, Tsukumo Yuki, unknown when squatting beside Kashimo Hajime, poked him with her finger.

"...I’m fine."

Kashimo Hajime remained silent for a while before struggling to get up.

His strength had not fully recovered, but he was no longer paralyzed.

"Was that his spell just now?"

Kashimo Hajime asked Tsukumo Yuki, who was closest to him.

"Who knows." Tsukumo Yuki smiled and said, "He has the ability to learn and use multiple spells, even mastering spells like [Limitless Sorcery], [Ten Shadows Technique], and [Red Blood Manipulation] from the Big Three families. Having some unique spells is quite normal."

"I think you better not provoke him." Hakari Kinji glanced at the standing Kashimo Hajime and said, "That guy, like Teacher Gojo, is a monster beyond common sense."

"Maybe he really can defeat Ryomensukuna."

"Perhaps you should find a different opponent, Kashimo?"

Hakari Kinji’s words went unanswered by Kashimo Hajime.

He merely flexed his hand, stood up, and turned to leave.

From his back, it’s clear he wasn’t at peace.

Unbeknownst to everyone, Reiger had already arrived in a quiet room.

On his body, layers of magic arrays began to appear.
