Simultaneous Transmigration: We Share a Role-Playing System

"At its peak?"

When Locke asked the question, the water clock paused for a moment, but quickly realized what he meant.

This guy... isn't even at his peak yet!

"Although I was born a thousand years ago into that family as an illegitimate son, even though I possessed the technique, I was sent to be a lowly 'ninja'."

The enemy suddenly began sharing their childhood, which was unusual, but since their goal was to stall for time, they had no intention of stopping them.

Locke, who had already written his own backstory, finally had the opportunity to begin his performance, and his emotions gradually rose. In other words...

He was really into his performance.

"Of course, back then ninjas weren't called ninjas. I've forgotten what they were called. Anyway, it was a very lowly profession. I wasn't allowed to use my own techniques and was used as expendable material to carry out missions that were destined to end. The purpose was simply to prevent me from jeopardizing the status of the eldest son in my family."

"But I was born with talent, and I completed all the missions. At that time, the leader of Shadow Stream appreciated me, took me as his apprentice, and gave me the opportunity to show my talent."

"I originally thought I was just a shadow in the darkness, only responsible for helping my master clear obstacles in the shadows, but he told me that even a shadow should have its own will."

"It was from that day that I 'awakened'. I understood the meaning of my existence and stopped using only shadows. I began to adjust my shikigami. Soon after, whether it was assassination or removing cursed spirits, I not only became a master but also the pride of the Shadow Stream."

"However, such happy days did not last long. When my family found out, they wanted to eliminate any future troubles and plotted to kill me. My master came to save me, but in the end, he died from exhaustion, making me, this lowly illegitimate son, the new Lord of Shadows."

From that day on, I fully understood the true meaning of a shadow—to be a shadow is never to simply imitate others and become a vassal under their shadow, but to plunder and take their place!

As Locke slowly recounted his past, Louhu's unease intensified, and his instincts screamed out warnings.

We cannot let him continue like this; we must stop him immediately!

"So, don't you understand yet? The ultimate Ten Shadows Technique has never been about those shikigami, but about the shadows themselves—it's shadow magic!"

Seeing that Louhu and Huayu could no longer contain themselves, Locke burst into wild laughter, his tone filled with extreme sarcasm:

"Oh right, what you just mentioned... was Ryomen Sukuna, right?"

At the same time, Locke, who was traveling on a bird, received a notification.

"Heavenly Seal, Shadow Bone, Dharma Realm Abode, Union with True Suchness!"

"【Extreme Strike: Shadow Stream】!"

The moment the incantation was finished, the two great calamity spirits sensed that Locke's magical power had undergone a tremendous change.

The thick, inky shadow beneath his feet surged and swirled wildly, then wrapped him tightly into an impenetrable sphere. Wisps of ominous curse power seeped out from the sphere's cracks, cold, rotten, and carrying millennia of malice.

Louhu felt a chill run down his spine and immediately mobilized all his magical power, gathering strength in his palm to compress the raging flames wildly, the crimson light condensing into a blazing ball of light between his fingers.

But just as the cursed power was gathering, the aura spreading from the shadow sphere entangled him. That cursed power, imbued with curses and resentment, was strangely familiar, making his heart tremble.

It wasn't until the water clock unleashed the compressed flames with a roar that he remembered why it felt so familiar.

Yes, this curse power is exactly the same as the fingers of Ryomen Sukuna.

Wait, could it be?!

With this thought in mind, Louhu looked at the pitch-black sphere in disbelief and was horrified to discover that before his and Huayu's attacks actually hit it, the surface of the sphere was already covered with spiderweb-like cracks.

"Click—"

A sharp cracking sound suddenly rang out as the attacks of the water clock and the flower-wielding weapon crashed down simultaneously, striking at the very center of the collision. A voice abruptly appeared, echoing throughout the entire battlefield.

"【untie】."

The next instant, a dense, spiderweb-like grid of slashes suddenly erupted from the core of the battlefield. The cold light tore through the air, spreading across the entire world, slicing apart the attacks of the two cursed spirits, as well as the surrounding air currents, dust, and the earth itself, inch by inch.

The flames and wooden spikes were forcibly frozen in mid-air, barely pausing for a moment before collapsing and exploding with a deafening roar. The raging fire and shattered wooden spikes turned into flying debris that swept across the sky.

When the smoke and dust cleared, Locke had transformed into a four-armed Su Nuo, standing abruptly before the two.

With his four hands and four eyes, the water clock couldn't possibly be unaware of what it represented. He stood there dumbfounded, momentarily plunged into despair.

"Plunder...become someone else...how is that possible...how could such a technique exist?"

"But you've witnessed it with your own eyes, haven't you?"

Upon hearing the other party's answer, the water clock unconsciously took a half step back, realizing that it was true.

Although it's unclear what the limitations are, it's obvious that this guy's ultimate form has truly transformed him into Ryomen Sukuna, meaning that he can become anyone he wants, even... including Nishikida Keiryu.

The sudden turn of events completely shattered the last shred of self-respect that the water clock possessed.

He once thought himself invincible, even defeating all the sorcerers single-handedly to secure a future for the spirits, allowing them to run freely in the sunlight.

But only now did he realize that he was nothing more than a frog in a well, pathetic and pitiful.

Cursed spirits are nothing more than playthings for humans.

Locke, who was taking control of the four-armed body for the first time, was slowly getting used to it. He looked up at the water clock, a smile playing on his lips:

"Two hands, two talents, two mouths, no wonder he is called the King of Curses. These advantages are terrifying to those Onmyoji, but unfortunately they are a burden to us ninjas."

Before he could finish speaking, and before the two cursed spirits could react in the slightest, he had already formed the Yama Heavenly Seal, a wild and ruthless smile spreading across his lips as he murmured:

"Let me see, it seems like this is how it's played..."

"【Domain Expansion - Demon-Slaying Chef】"

The next instant, the shrine formed from the skeleton of a giant beast suddenly appeared in the world, and countless bones spread out like a tide, instantly covering a radius of 500 meters and imprisoning everything around it into its domain.

"not good!"

Louhu reacted instantly, and was just about to unleash its domain when it was interrupted by an endless barrage of [Solution] and [Eight]. Fine, net-like slashes instantly covered its entire body, and deep purple cursed blood seeped wildly from the thousands of cracks.

Before the water clock and the flower could react, Locke, transformed into Sukuna, raised his four hands and shouted excitedly:

"Dance with me!"

At this moment, above Kyoto College, a crow controlled by magic hovered high in the sky, circling for a long time without leaving.

Inside the car several hundred meters away, the first-level sorcerer Mingming, through the crow's vision, had witnessed the entire fierce battle that had just taken place.

After a long while, she finally recovered from her shock and sighed softly:

"Kageryu Nishikita... Akuma... Garou... Locke Nara, this is truly a group of... utter monsters."
