Chapter 1687: True Power (American cards are not as interesting as European cards)

It has to be said that when everyone heard Duanmu Huai's words, they were all shocked.

Tianyuan, who was pointed at by Duanmu Huai, was silent for a moment and then spoke.

"I don't know what the scorpion said to you......"

"Noose? Who is that?"

"The former Kamo Kentoshi is now living in the body of Geto Suguru, and he is the sorcerer you destroyed."

"?"

Duanmu Huai still had a question mark in his mind, while Gojo Satoru next to him had a slightly gloomy expression.

"That is to say, you already knew that Jay was no longer himself? Why didn't you tell us?!"

"...I can't interfere too much in worldly affairs."

In response to Gojo Satoru's question, Tengen was silent for a moment before giving an answer.

"This is no reason!"

"Okay, let's put that Xia Youjie aside for now."

Duanmu Huai interrupted Wujo Satoru's questioning. Anyway, the person had been chopped to death by him. Although he didn't know who Tianyuan was talking about, he guessed that it should be the monk who told him about Tianyuan's existence. Judging from Tianyuan's appearance, he seemed to be familiar with the other party's existence. But it was meaningless to entangle with the dead now.

"Let's move on. Do you have any objection to me chopping you to death?"

"No matter what Zuosuo said to you, it's all......"

"Oh, he didn't really say much to me."

Duanmu Huai interrupted Tianyuan's defense again.

"I don't need to rely on that idiot to figure out the situation. And believe me, I know your situation better than most of you, even better than you yourself. But I see that others don't seem to be very familiar with it, so let's start from the beginning."

Duanmu Huai stared at Tianyuan and then asked.

"First, answer me, is it true that Japan is the only country in the world where there are an unusually large number of cursed spirits and sorcerers? And in other places, they are very rare?"

"this……………"

Everyone looked at each other, and then Yuta Otsutsukoshi nodded.

"Yes, there are very few sorcerers abroad, and the strongest among them is only at the quasi-first-class level... There are no top-class sorcerers at all."

"Isn't this strange?"

Duanmu Huai sneered.

"How many people are there in Japan? How many people are there in the world? Why is it that only Japan has a hundred demons parading at night and sorcery dancing everywhere? Is the average quality of the Japanese so high that a super genius is born every now and then?"

"…………………"

Although Duanmu Huai's words were unpleasant to the ear, everyone had to admit that this was indeed a strange place.

"And you have been using the barrier to cover Japan since a thousand years ago, right?"

Duanmu Huai stared at Tianyuan and asked the second question. The latter hesitated for a moment and nodded.

"Yes."

"That's right."

Duanmu Huai made a sword flower.

"You are the culprit who caused the cursed spirits to run rampant all over the streets of Japan. You must atone for all the people who have died at the hands of the cursed spirits over the past thousand years. So go and die obediently. I will erect a monument for you depending on my mood."

"Wait, wait, I still don't understand."

Jiujiuyuki spoke hastily.

“Didn’t Lord Tengen protect Japan with a barrier? It is because of his power that the sorcerers’ barriers were strengthened that we were able to fight against the cursed spirits…”

However, Duanmu Huai just looked at her as if she was an idiot.

"Where do you think the cursed power comes from?"

"Eh? Cursed power is possessed by all humans, and it is generated through negative emotions..."

"You're still lying to yourself, aren't you? According to what you said, there have been wars and massacres in Africa and the Middle East for years. Shouldn't there be a lot of top-level sorcerers crawling on the ground there? What's the result? Is there any?"

"………………………"

Jiujiuyuki didn't answer, but she had actually answered the question.

"It's true that cursed power comes from negative emotions, but they don't belong to you. Instead, they come from another world. You just absorb it through emotions and mobilize this power for your own use."

"Is there such a thing?"

"How did you know?"

"How can this be!?"

It must be said that Duanmu Huai's words shocked all the sorcerers present, because it completely overturned the basic theory of sorcerers. They always thought that the power of spells belonged to themselves. However, Duanmu Huai told them that the power of spells came from another world?

"What kind of world is that?"

"What world?"

Duanmuhuai snorted coldly.

"It's simple. Where do you think the cursed spirits came from?"

"you mean……………"

At this moment, everyone understood what Duanmu Huai was saying.

"Isn't it strange? You have never thought about how cursed spirits are born, right? They certainly can't be born after ten months of pregnancy. Are they born simply from the condensation of human emotions? Then why do they appear in this world? The reason is very simple, because they are called to this world."

Duanmu Huai narrowed his eyes and stared at Tianyuan with cold eyes.

"Let me be frank. There is a thick barrier between that world and the real world we live in. Originally, no matter what happens in that world, it has no effect on the real world. But the sorcerer appeared. As I said just now, the essence of the sorcerer's curse power is to draw power from that world for his own use. So your actions are actually equivalent to making a hole in the barrier between the two worlds. The stronger the curse power, the bigger the hole."

As he spoke, Duanmu Huai flipped his left hand, took out an hourglass, and then turned it over.

"And the power of that world will spread through this hole all the way to our world."

As Duanmu Huai spoke, the sand in the hourglass leaked out from above. There was silence all around, and only the rustling sound of the sand dripping could be heard.

"Of course, if that's all, then it wouldn't be a big problem. After all, sorcerers will die, and once they die, this passage will be blocked. Unfortunately, however, there is an exception."

“You mean…” Otsutsukoshi Yuta looked at Tengen with a serious expression.

"That's right, Tengen. You just said that Tengen's power has always been protecting Japan. It is precisely because of his power that Japanese sorcerers have powerful barrier techniques. And coincidentally, this question can answer the first question I raised. Why are there so many sorcerers in Japan alone?"

Duanmu Huai turned his left hand, took back the hourglass, and snapped his fingers.

"The reason is very simple. You should know it well. From a scientific point of view, when an area is exposed to radiation for a long time, the ecological environment will undergo various changes, and organisms will mutate. In fact, you sorcerers are actually mutated individuals because of being bathed in that power. Of course, it's not to say that there are no mutants in nature, but you should all know that there are not many mutants in nature. But if mutants are artificially created, that's another matter, right?"

"………………………"

No one spoke, everyone was sweating profusely, Duanmu Huai's metaphor was easy to understand, and they naturally understood what Duanmu Huai meant. Tianyuan's barrier covered the entire Japan, which meant that the entire Japan was under the power of Tianyuan, and living in this radiation-like environment for a long time would increase the probability of mutants.

"The same reason is also true for cursed spirits running wild in the streets of Japan. For example, cursed spirits are like saltwater fish, which cannot survive in fresh water. However, Tian Yuan's approach is like constantly pouring saltwater into a pond, which gradually makes the environment here suitable for saltwater fish to survive. Then, of course, saltwater fish will come. How is that? It's easy to understand, right?"

"…………"

"If this continues, the two worlds will get closer and closer, so we must kill this guy before that happens and stop this process completely."

"You, you can't do this!"

At this time Ye Mo Zheng Dao also reacted and hurriedly shouted to stop him.

"If you do this, the Jujutsu Supervision Department will......"

"The Spell Supervision Department?"

Facing Ye Mo Zhengdao's warning, Duanmu Huai just yawned out of boredom.

"What can they do to me? Send people to hunt me down? I'm not some unknown little character. I'm a famous movie star. I want to see which idiot sorcerer dares to hunt me down in broad daylight. And... you don't really think that your position in the sorcery world is as stable as Mount Tai, do you?"

"what do you mean?"

Hearing this, Gojo Satoru looked at Duanmu Huai curiously and asked.

Duanmu Huai just laughed.

"Actually, today, I will bring a very surprising Christmas gift to the sorcerer world... Just now, you said that Tengen's power strengthens the sorcerers, so as long as I kill Tengen, the sorcerers will lose their power without the strengthening. As for the rest... Well, no, it's meaningless to tell the Christmas gift in advance."

Duanmu Huai closed his mouth decisively and then looked at everyone again.

"Okay, now I'm giving you a chance to choose. Do you want to stand on Tianyuan's side and be killed by me? Or do you want to stand with me and solve this problem once and for all!?"

“……………………………Teacher Gojo…”

The students with high skill in spell arts were completely at a loss when faced with this sudden change. They could only look to Gojo Satoru for help. Gojo Satoru did not say anything, but just bowed his head silently.

Finally, after a while...

"I quit."

When Yuta Okkotsu's voice sounded, he thrust the Japanese sword in his hand into the ground and stepped back.

"It was my fault that Rika became a cursed spirit. The reason I became a sorcerer and hunted cursed spirits was because I hoped there would be fewer people like me. So, if the cursed spirits could really all disappear... then there would be no need for me to stop it."

"Me too."

Jiujiu Yuki also stood beside them.

"Making all the cursed spirits disappear has always been my goal. In fact, I am also very confused as to why such an extreme situation only occurs in Japan. But now, I finally understand the reason......"

Jiujuyuki said this and looked towards Yega Masamichi.

"I even doubt whether those old guys have known about this for a long time. After all, if the curse spirits do not exist, the sorcerers will not be needed, and their power and status will be in jeopardy, right?"

"I do not know."

Principal Yega Zhengdao did not give a direct answer.

Maybe he really doesn't know.

At this time, Tianyuan spoke.

"Do you really understand what you are saying?"

It stared at Duanmu Huai with a hoarse voice.

"I have given up on assimilation. In fact, I have now become a being similar to a cursed spirit. My soul is everywhere. I am the world..."

"That world is indeed everywhere, but if you think I can't destroy you just because you evolve into a cursed spirit, then you underestimate me."

Duanmu Huai gripped the hilt of the sword tightly.

"Do you really want to do this? Even if I am connected to that world as you said, if you do this, it may bring greater disaster to the world!"

"Then we'll talk about it then."

Duanmu Huai was not moved at all by Tianyuan's words.

"I can do whatever I want. At least, I'll deal with you, the culprit, first, and then we can talk about it."

"…………………"

Gojo Satoru took action. He walked forward, stood next to Tianyuan, and turned to look at Duanmu Huai.

"I admit that what you said makes sense, but what Tian Yuan said also makes sense. Maybe if you kill it, it will only bring greater destruction to the world."

"so what?"

"So, in the final analysis, it's better to prove it with strength."

Gojo Satoru raised his hand and aimed at Duanmu Huai.

"I think the current world of spellcasting does need reform, but destroying it is another matter. And I'm not sure if your approach is right. Maybe Tengen's approach is right, but it doesn't matter. I don't want to make a stupid choice that I will regret, so... fight me."

"Are you serious?"

Duanmu Huai raised his eyebrows.

"Isn't the lesson learned last time enough?"

"This time, I will be serious from the beginning."

Gojo Satoru said this with a hint of a smile.

"I hope you enjoy it."
