Chapter 1407 - 990: End It All_2

The world appeared as an inverted reflection on the ground, like the emergence of a horizon, with two completely inverted worlds.

Immediately, countless slashes descended from the sky, inciting endless roars.

Instantly, dust rose everywhere, rubble scattered, and countless slashes sliced back and forth in that upside-down world, smashing all that was within it into pieces.

"Roar!"

A roar echoed within, filled with pain.

Not long after, the roar disappeared, and the thunderous sounds and the continuously emerging slashes gradually subsided.

Under the watchful eyes of Knot and Li Mei, Sukuna soon emerged from the swirling dust, the shrine behind him and the blood-colored world vanished like a mirage flickering in the wind.

"Clang!"

Standing before Knot and Li Mei, Sukuna tossed aside something in his hand.

It was a familiar-looking Array Plate shaped like a ship’s steering wheel.

After tossing the Array Plate, an extremely pleased and satisfied smile appeared on Sukuna’s face.

"You’ve worked hard, Lord Sukuna."

Li Mei immediately handed over a towel.

"It seems you’re very pleased with it."

Knot also temporarily suppressed some of the unease in his heart, saying this.

"Haha!" Sukuna burst into laughter, not sure what came to his mind, and said, "It’s indeed hard not to be satisfied!"

"Indeed, my initial feeling was correct; there’s something about the Zenin’s [Shadow Techniques] that is worth my fascination!"

"Luckily, I acquired Fushiguro Megumi’s body, or else I would have missed out on such a fascinating thing!"

Clearly, Sukuna was in an exceptionally good mood.

Even Knot had never seen him so cheerful, which surprised him greatly.

"For you to say something like that, it seems I’ve underestimated the [Shadow Techniques] spell."

Knot couldn’t help but feel somewhat intrigued.

With his abilities, he also has a chance to acquire the [Shadow Techniques].

As long as he transfers his brain to the body of a Zenin descendant possessing the [Shadow Techniques] spell, occupying their flesh, he can, like Knot, acquire the [Shadow Techniques] spell.

In the past, he’d never considered going for the [Shadow Techniques] spell, simply thinking that if one must go through countless pacification ceremonies to fully unleash the power of this spell, then it’s really unnecessary.

Not to mention that mysterious Divine General, before Reiger, no one had ever successfully pacified it. Once summoned, even a [Limitless Curse] user with six eyes could get wiped out; the risks were undoubtedly too high.

Considering this, Knot had never been interested in the [Shadow Techniques].

But seeing Sukuna’s current performance, Knot thought maybe he should strategize carefully.

Of course, that’s for the future.

For now, getting through the current challenge is more important.

"I apologize for delivering such bad news when you’re in a good mood," Knot said to Sukuna, "Gojo Satoru is out."

Upon hearing this, Sukuna’s demeanor didn’t change at all.

"Is that so?" He merely responded with a cheerful smile, "Then let’s resolve him along with everything else."

"What do you say?" After handing over the towel, Li Mei glanced at Knot, "Haven’t healed yet?"

"How can it be healed?" Knot replied somewhat helplessly, "It’s not about a broken limb, but rather everything broke except the head; even my intricate reverse spell can’t grow back the rest of the body from just a head, right?"

Rather, surviving after losing a head is due to his unique constitution.

If it were anyone else, losing a head would mean complete doom.

"So..."

Li Mei had a sense of Knot’s next move.

"Yes." Knot smiled slightly, "I can only switch to another body."

"Luckily, the brain is intact; the life spell engraved in this body’s brain should be transferable with me."

Given the current situation, Knot could only proceed this way.

He had already chosen the body.

"Allow me to make good use of waste materials."

Knot thought to himself.

"Then be prepared."

Sukuna spoke timely, laughing as his eyes gleamed red.

"It’s time for everything to come to an end."

...

Tokyo Shinjuku, auxiliary supervision base building.

In one of the rooms here, almost all the people who were on the outside square not long ago had moved over.

"So many things have happened..."

Gojo Satoru sat alone on the sofa, undergoing a body check by Tsukumo Yuki, a towel draped over his head as if he just took a shower, and his hair was damp as he spoke.

"Destruction Revisit and the Curse Power Optimization Plan... That imposter really managed to stir up so much in just a month."

Mentioning the Knot, Gojo Satoru’s tone and expression remained calm, allowing many who were secretly observing him to breathe a quiet sigh of relief.

"You already knew he was an imposter?"

Reiger leaned against the wall next to Gojo Satoru, arms crossed, and raised his eyebrows as he said this.

"Found out as soon as I encountered him." Gojo Satoru spread his hands in apparent helplessness, saying: "It’s rather embarrassing, really. Even though I detected the guy was an imposter, I still got caught up in a bunch of memories with just two or three casual words."

"Had I known that fellow planned to use the Prison Gate Border on me, I would’ve simply cut open my frontal lobes with curse power."

Gojo Satoru’s words sent a shiver down many people’s spines.

Is he really that ruthless?

As expected of you, Gojo Satoru...

"So..."

Suddenly Gojo Satoru’s tone turned somber.

"Are the principal and Nanami already dead?"

As soon as he said this, everyone fell into silence.

Especially Panda, who, hearing Gojo Satoru mention Yaga Masamichi, his eyes lowered.

"...Is that so?"

Receiving the answer, Gojo Satoru’s expression, if anything, became even calmer.

Then, he heard Reiger casually throw out a line.

"Don’t worry, as long as the bodies are intact, I’ll help you resurrect them afterwards."

These words not only froze Gojo Satoru’s expression but also made the rest of the people raise their heads in shock.

"Really, can they be resurrected...?!"

Okkotsu Yuta, Zenin Maki, Panda, and others exclaimed simultaneously.

"Yes." Reiger remained composed, saying: "Once we settle all the matters."

At that moment, everyone’s expressions turned complex, with feelings ranging from doubt, shock, excitement to outright disbelief.

Only Gojo Satoru burst into laughter.

"Since you’ve said so, then it should be foolproof, right?"

"Then the next step is simple."

"Hunt down and kill all the masterminds!"

Gojo Satoru pulled off the towel covering his head and stood up.

"Is it okay?" Tsukumo Yuki interjected: "Although we haven’t found any issues during your examination, you just escaped from a place like the Prison Gate Border. Are you really able to immediately jump into battle?"

"Of course." Gojo Satoru extended his hand and clenched his fist, saying: "I’ve gotta thank that place where time doesn’t matter. No matter how long I stayed in there, I emerged in perfect condition."

"I have scores to settle with those guys."

"And I need to claim back my students."

Gojo Satoru smiled broadly at everyone.

"Don’t try to stop me, okay? Otherwise, I’ll take all of you down with them!"

Upon hearing this, everyone present exchanged glances and collectively produced wry smiles.

"Hmm?"

Reiger watched the scene, smiling, then suddenly narrowed his eyes and stood straight.

"Oh?"

Gojo Satoru also seemed to sense something, his cerulean blue eyes glimmering slightly.

"What’s wrong?"

The group was momentarily stunned.

Reiger and Gojo Satoru exchanged a glance and spoke with calm voices.

"Get ready."

"They’ve already made their first move."
