Ultimate Life Begins with Injustice

As night deepened, the streets of Shibuya became increasingly chaotic.

[Analysis of the Heavenly Tyrant Physique complete.]

"I see." Suren slammed on the brakes and came to a stop in the middle of the street.

Unlike the DC Universe, where monsters and demons roam freely, the world of Jujutsu Kaisen has a very clear set of "binding" rules.

Ordinary people do not have "spell circuits" in their bodies, and the spell power they possess is extremely weak. However, their fears can give rise to "spell spirits," a problem that spellcasters have been unable to solve for thousands of years.

The spells and combat styles of sorcerers also revolve around [binding].

The simplest form of restraint is [Spell Revelation], which allows the other party to obtain greater spell power by explaining the principles of their spell.

As someone whose body has no magical energy pathways, Suren naturally gained the "Heaven and Tyrant" physique because of this "binding".

His strength, speed, stamina, and all five senses were greatly enhanced. At the same time, because he had no magical power whatsoever, he could not be sensed by magical spirits or sorcerers.

This is why he could leisurely review his actions even while ruthlessly clearing out the reformed people on the streets.

From the perspective of the cursed power perception, it was as if a heavy truck with its throttle welded shut had blown away all the modified humans on those two streets.

But there is also a problem.

Although the amplified five senses allow Suren to know the shape and location of the cursed spirit, he has no curse power and therefore cannot deal with it.

Unlike cyborgs or sorcerers, cursed spirits exist because of human fear; they are creatures born from the aggregation of negative emotions.

When Suren was running at high speed, he tried to "touch" a cursed spirit. Judging from its size alone, the cursed spirit was much weaker than the first cyborg he had killed.

But the fly's head only flew far away; in Suren's dynamic vision, the other party didn't even get a single hair hurt.

"I still need to get a spell tool, otherwise I'll still be restricted."

Suren pondered for a moment and came to a conclusion.

Although in Shibuya nowadays, low-level cursed spirits are not considered a threat to him.

However, without a suitable magical tool, one's potential is limited.

"A cursed artifact..."

Thinking of this, Suren couldn't help but scratch his head.

There were quite a few sorcerers and curse masters who appeared during the Shibuya Incident, but there weren't many curse tools suitable for him.

However, if it is only a level two or three cursed tool, it only adds to Suren's means of clearing out cursed spirits.

A useful spell tool...

boom!

A loud bang came from the subway exit. Suren turned her head and saw two figures coming onto the street one after the other.

"Um?"

Suren could clearly sense that one of the figures was quite familiar to him.

……

"What's your last name?"

Fukuro Megumi, panting heavily, looked at the man in front of her with a somewhat blank expression.

Leaving aside the curse master he fought alongside Itajimaru, the super-grade curse spirit he just encountered underground had consumed most of his curse power in the domain battle.

Not to mention the magical energy consumed and the injuries sustained during the fight and retreat.

The magical power he has extracted is only enough to control his shadow and to slightly release "Escape Rabbit" to obstruct his vision.

"Fukuko..."

Although he didn't quite understand what the other person meant, since the other person had taken the initiative to step back and give him a chance to catch his breath, he naturally had to respond.

It wasn't out of politeness, but because I really needed those few seconds to reply.

Fushiguro Megumi clenched her fists tightly, her curse power exhausted, and hand-to-hand combat was hopeless; this was the only way left.

"Furube, Yura Yura..."

He wasn't sure if the other party could be pulled into the subjugation ritual without any magical power.

But with no other options left and things having come to this point, he had no choice but to try anything, even if it seemed hopeless.

But the other party did something he never expected—he picked up the sharpened "Youyun" sword and plunged it straight into his own head.

"It's not a Zen temple," the other person said, their dark eyes suddenly becoming clear and bright. "That's wonderful."

Fushiguro Megumi watched in bewilderment as the other person's body collapsed.

However, before he could catch his breath, another figure appeared in front of him.

"Tsk, how come they revealed their true colors so quickly?"

Suren kicked the black ash-covered corpse on the ground with a look of disgust, feeling somewhat helpless.

He followed the two combatants all the way, and finally saw Zen-in-the-Insect Shen-er, the real Heaven and Tyrant, wanting to learn more about the Heaven and Tyrant's physique.

However, since Shen'er is currently a being summoned by the curse master, rather than his true form, his physical characteristics are rapidly dissipating.

"Don't get agitated, I'm not your enemy."

Suren pulled the things behind him forward before squatting down to continue his study.

"That should prove I meant no harm, right?"

Fukuguro Megumi's tightly clenched fists relaxed slightly after seeing the person Suren dragged out.

He was a blond man with a single ponytail.

His face was covered in fist marks, and blood flowing from his mouth and nose almost stained his entire neck red.

His right hand, which was almost twisted into a pretzel, held a knife with a hilt shaped like a dark blue hand.

Although it was called a knife, Fushiguro Megumi had only heard others mention it once; the man was using a knife with a hand-shaped hilt.

After all, the blade has completely disappeared, and there is no trace of its former use as a weapon.

That dark blue hand, which had once seemed to possess a spirit, now remained tightly clenched into a fist.

Haruta Shigemi is a curse master who previously invaded the Jujutsu High School's sisterhood meeting.

From Nanami Kento's words, Fushiguro Megumi also learned that this guy had already been harming the support staff of the high school at the very beginning of the Shibuya Incident.

Since the other party has extended an olive branch to me, I have no reason to refuse.

He instinctively clutched his abdomen—a large hole had been pierced there when he had just tried to exchange blows for another.

Fortunately, he used his shadow to shift the opponent's center of gravity, thus avoiding puncturing the heart and surrounding major arteries.

"Do you need me to call a doctor for you?"

Suren watched as the corpse on the ground completely transformed into its pre-spirit state, and then pulled out the pointed wooden stick that had been inserted into its head.

The supreme-grade spell tool, Wandering Cloud, increases in power based on the user's strength.

However, its original form was a three-section staff. When fighting the ocean spirit Tuogen, the chain was broken, and one end of the staff was ground into a sharp cone shape.

Suren didn't know if this one-third of the Wandering Clouds could still be considered a top-grade spell tool.

But for now, this is indeed the best cursed artifact that can be found.

The sword in Haruta's hand had too much of a self-awareness, so Suren didn't trust it and simply smashed it.

"If you could take me to see Miss Ieiri, that would be wonderful."

"No problem, no problem, just give me directions."

Suren carefully wiped the bloodstains off the wooden stick, looking quite interested.

Unlike cyborgs, Haruta Shigemitsu and Megumi Fushiguro both possess something unique.

That is not only the special energy of "cursed power", but also the special energy loop of "cursed magic".
