Spell Return: The Wheel of Time

Chapter 404: The Face of Art
"Infinity!"

It was no longer a trick to impart information. Gojo Satoru fully demonstrated the domain's original form, which was the ultimate extension of the technique.

The Heaven of Infinite Space, the first of the four heavens in the formless realm, is also called - Infinite Space. This word is a concept in Buddhism. Buddhism divides the three realms into the realms of desire, form, and formlessness. There are six heavens in the desire realm, eighteen heavens in the form realm, and four heavens in the formless realm. The Heaven of Infinite Space is one of the four heavens in the formless realm.

Slightly different from its direct explanation of its name, the four heavens of the formless realm uphold another concept of Buddhism, namely the interpretation of color and emptiness. Colorlessness means being detached from all tangible matter, which in layman's terms is spiritual ideology.

The sky of infinite space is not only boundless in the physical sense, but also in the spiritual sense. Because there is no matter, spirit is everything here. However, there is still space, but there is no matter, so it is called the sky of infinite space.

That is to say, only space and time itself exist here, and all other tangible and material existences no longer exist. The name of Gojo Satoru's domain is quite suitable for its specific effects. For example, the initial infusion of information causes the enemy to "freeze", just like really entering the boundless sky. The existence of the physical body drags down the conscious part, making it impossible to take both into account.

At this time, Gojo Satoru was further interpreting it, which was to annihilate all tangible and material existences, making his domain truly become the sky of infinite space, that is - the infinite space!
Cang, He... the twisted forces of divergence and attraction, the infinite collisions gave birth to the Qi that could directly annihilate matter. In reality, Gojo Satoru's Qi was still subject to the correction of the rules of the real world, and it was quite capable of destroying those inanimate objects such as earth and stone. However, when facing a sorcerer, especially one of the same level, this intimidating-sounding lethality was not an absolute destruction.

However, at this moment he was in his domain, a small world that was dependent on but also independent of the real world. The rules here were written by him, and he was the only master here!
The power of [No Limits] was displayed unscrupulously in the boundless space. The red and blue lights intertwined together and soon collided to produce a dangerous purple light.

The Divine Source that was caught in it was annihilated in an instant, and then recovered in the reverse flow of time, and then repeated this process. In the field, except for the Divine Source I, who constantly alternated between life and death with his own magic, the only substance that still existed was Gojo Satoru himself.

The true form of the Infinite Void, that is, to display the lethality of "Unlimited", is actually very difficult, because it is not like the common field that only needs to combine the technique with the field of birth using the barrier technique.

To achieve this in the Infinite Void, the first thing one has to face is the problem of disorder and chaos. The magic formulas are layered in the field, tearing and pulling endlessly. In order to exert the greatest destructive power, the magician himself must also maximize the effectiveness of the magic.

So Gojo Satoru had to face a problem, that is, how to avoid the risk of being affected by the field after it was expanded. This involves a question: Will the practitioner be hurt by his own technique?
The answer is generally no. The ritual is like a part of the sorcerer's body. In fact, compared to the fists and other parts of the body that can still hurt the sorcerer, it is more like blood flowing in the body, an invisible and intangible thought.

Your instinct, even the 'instinct' of the spell, will prevent them from hurting the caster himself, but if, for example, the owner of the Red Blood Manipulation controls a weapon made of coagulated blood, and then this blood blade flies towards the caster, but the Red Blood Manipulation applied to it is not removed, what will be the result?
Putting aside the issues of how to restrain the instinct to maintain the existence of the technique and whether one will subconsciously dodge, the final result should be that the owner of the Red Blood Technique will commit suicide and die at the hands of his own technique.

Next is another example. For spells like Louhu that seem to control the "elements", will they themselves be harmed by effects such as fire or lightning? The fact that Louhu is a cursed spirit cannot be clearly reflected. The more obvious example should be Lu Ziyunyi.

That guy's technique is related to "electricity", and he also changed the nature of his own cursed power to become related to it, but he seldom uses his own technique. The reason is very simple, that is, his technique is not to truly and completely control lightning.

Instead, he can only achieve some 'subtle' levels. Strictly speaking, according to the standards of most magicians, his technique is very weak, just like Zenin Shin'ei's construction technique, which involves very powerful rules at first glance, but is limited by the magician himself and cannot exert much power.

It's just that Lu Ziyunyi did the same as Wan, he developed his "weak" technique into a powerful one and became a true strong man. However, Lu Ziyunyi's technique was different from Wan's. If he wanted to maximize the use of his technique, he could only use it on himself.

Using the control over the tiny electric currents, he intensified physical stimulation to a level beyond human capabilities. However, the electric currents produced by his spells would not cause him any harm, but the "positive" effects of those currents on the body also existed at the same time.

This is the true face of the "technique that can only be used once in a lifetime" mentioned by Lu Ziyun. He will not die in the transformation of his body by his own technique, but will die in the process of his body completing its natural evolution and possibly being unable to "evolve" for tens of thousands of years, and then self-disintegrating as a result.

In the same way, Gojo Satoru will not be affected when he is in his own domain, just like Shenyuan is the only being that can exist in [Guixu] because they themselves are a part of their own spell.

However, this does not mean that Gojo Satoru will not be affected by his own domain, because his technique affects objective things such as space, just like when you use a technique to light a fire, the flames will also burn yourself.

It was just that he could ignore those fires thanks to his body strengthened by the spellcaster's power. But at this moment, the space in his domain was being shattered and was evolving towards infinity, and he could not completely escape it.

Gojo Satoru's solution to this is to offset it. Simply put, the torn space around him is made up for with the effect of the opposite technique, and the collapsed space is flattened with the technique.

Of course, it sounds easy in words, but actually doing it is like constructing a spell to make a lump of gold appear out of thin air. What's more, this is while he is maintaining the full power of the domain spell, he has to divide his energy to maintain a spell of high strength.

Not to mention objective factors such as cursed power, just such a high intensity of multitasking is not something that ordinary people can achieve. It is not easy to concentrate on one's own technique to this extent. Gojo Satoru is able to perform this operation, which is more like a legend to others, only by relying on his "six eyes" to have extreme control over curses.

As for why Gojo Satoru did not control the range of the technique to make a safe zone around himself, the reason was very simple. At this time, Shen Genichi explained very well why he did not do so.

"Time is an extension of space, a change in entropy, and an illusory concept. But unfortunately... under the miracle of magic, it is a 'rule of the game' that can be touched, mastered, and changed.

Wu, you can still do this, then in return, I will also let you see my understanding of the spell! "The torn and twisted turbulence suddenly stopped beside Shenyuanyi, but the spell raging around him did not completely disappear. Gojo Wu's thoughts and actions also maintained the same time flow speed as Shenyuan's actions, but Gojo Wu was definitely not wrong! Something must have happened to Shenyuanyi at this moment!
“Enlightenment… Enlightenment…”

The sound that Shenyuan transmitted to Gojo Satoru's ears was like several audio tracks overlapping together. Realizing this, he immediately used the perspective of his six eyes to observe the former's technique. As he was already quite familiar with the Wheel of Time, he quickly glimpsed a glimpse of the truth.

"Time keeps jumping back and forth, so you are now in a strange state, belonging neither to the present nor to the future. My technique can only affect you at this moment, but in fact you have entered a very short 'time loop'. Any external influence will be annihilated in this reciprocating cycle..."

"Yes……"

"Yes."

Gojo Satoru heard two voices that almost overlapped, or maybe several voices... In his eyes, Shen Genichi's figure was constantly "flickering" in place, but the amplitude was very small. However, under the excellent insight of the six eyes, it was nowhere to hide.

Shen Yuanyi walked straight towards Gojo Satoru, without speeding up or rushing forward, but just took one step at a time. In the chaotic space tearing around him, he opened up a calm passage and arrived directly in front of the latter.

Then he stretched out his hand, and the surging cursed power wrapped around his palm and printed it towards Gojo Satoru. Gojo Satoru was a little surprised why Shenyuanyi's attack was so slow, but he still made appropriate evasive movements, and at the same time, the maintenance of the domain continued.

Flying backwards without support while stepping on the void, Gojo Satoru, who had pulled away from him, suddenly felt a pain in his chest and abdomen, as if... he had been hit hard by an attack. However, he had clearly pulled away from him, and the range of his domain did not detect any signs of Yuan Yi accelerating or moving. So what was this attack...

"Satoru, this is a reversal of cause and effect. It's not that I attacked you first and then you got hurt. Instead, the result of your getting hurt was already determined, and then I attacked you. This is a blow that cannot be avoided..."

The scene in front of Gojo Satoru suddenly changed again, and Shenyuanyi "jumped" in front of him. The cause and effect were reversed, and the future was the present. The short story of fate had been written, and everything at this moment was just moving forward according to the established trajectory.

click -

The sky in the boundless space shattered with a sound, the domain was forced to be lifted, and a figure fell from the sky. The sharp-eyed Otsutsuki and others had seen everything clearly, and with complicated expressions they had to accept the reality before them.

Gojo Satoru, exit.

……

"You are definitely not that 'Him'. If you were Him, you wouldn't smell so human."

Sukuna only took a look at Gojo Satoru, who was rescued after falling to the ground and whose life was in danger, and knew that the latter was not completely dead. The reversal technique kept him alive. If those magicians could "win" this battle, with the technique copied by that kid, maybe they could save Gojo.

A part of his cheek suddenly "dripped" off, and the flesh and blood fell to Sukuna's feet, rolling and turning into a ball of scarlet blood. However, this blood was very strange, not only did it not seep into the soil, but it also coagulated into a ball, and even rolled towards his feet like a living thing, and finally merged back into Sukuna's body like a drop of water.

If you focus your eyes on Sukuna's entire body, you will find that his whole body is surging slightly like liquid. If you look more closely, you can see thousands of blood threads climbing on Sukuna's extremely strong, four-handed inhuman body.

"Red Blood Manipulation..."

As Shenyuan landed on the ground, the halo behind him was not noticeable at all and blended harmoniously with the surroundings. He looked at Sukuna's somewhat familiar appearance and recalled the surging blood in those never-fading memories.

"A technique that is bound by a person's body and can never release its true power. Your body... the Nine Phases Diagram? Nozomi and you guys are really capable of thinking of a way."

Sukuna's mouth has turned into a simple crack, running across his entire face. The teeth, tongue and other things in his mouth have all disappeared, leaving only a deep abyss filled with blood.

"Really? After all... I have seen the true form of that technique before. Now that I am no longer in human form, and you are keeping a close eye on the bodies of those guys, this bloodline body is very suitable!"

No one knew what parts or organs Sukuna used to make sounds. As he finished speaking, Sukuna completely lost his "human form" and turned into a surging blood-red wave with a blurry human face.
