The magnetic field rotation that began in Jujutsu Kaisen

Yuki Tsukumo: "No, no, I'm the best person to deal with that anti-gravity spell."

"My technique imparts an imaginary mass to objects and myself, completely negating gravity!"

Tsukumo Yuki's words startled Higashiyoshi.

Dong Yangping: "Hypothetical quality?"

Yuki Tsukumo sat down at the low table, picked up a skewer of grilled meat, took a bite, and said while chewing, "My technique, Wrath of the Stars. Simply put, it can grant myself or my shikigami an imaginary mass."

She swallowed the meat and pointed to the empty beer can next to her.

"For example, that can, I gave it an imaginary mass of one ton. It's still the same size, but when it hits a person, it's like a ton of stuff hitting them."

Dong Yangping's eyes lit up.

"If it were for myself," Yuki grinned, "I would give myself ten tons of imaginary mass, so a punch I throw would have ten tons of impact force. And my body itself wouldn't become heavier, so it wouldn't affect my speed."

Shen Er chimed in from the side, "So when you fought me before, you weren't even using your full strength?"

Tsukumo Yuki glanced at him.

"You used your full strength?"

Shen Er didn't say anything.

Tsukumo Yuki laughed: "Then let's not get married."

Dongyangping tapped on the table.

"Let's get down to business. Can your ability counteract that anti-gravity force?"

"Theoretically, it's possible." Yuki Tsukumo put down her kebab and became serious. "Whether it's anti-gravity or gravity, it's essentially the effect on the actual mass of an object. Imaginary mass is a different system and is not affected by real gravity."

She thought for a moment and added, "It's like you're experiencing weightlessness in an elevator, but the things inside the elevator are still just as heavy. Two different concepts."

"Of course, this is all theoretical, after all, I haven't come into contact with those techniques you mentioned."

Dongyang Ping nodded.

"So you're the most suitable person to deal with her."

"Don't rush."

Tsukumo Yuki raised her hand. "What I mean is, I can neutralize the effects of her spell, but that doesn't mean I can kill her. That thing has lived for thousands of years; who knows how many more tricks it has up its sleeve?"

Shen Er spoke up.

"From an assassin's perspective, the best way to deal with this kind of old thing is to not give her a chance to play her cards."

He looked at Dong Yangping.

"The best way to deal with a sorcerer is to use power that does not belong to a sorcerer."

"Didn't you say the goal was to blow her head off? Then don't try to exchange spells with her. You go in. You don't have any magical power, so her spells will have the least impact on you. Get close to her and smash her head in with one punch."

"If you're fast enough, she might not even be able to react."

Dongyang Ping nodded.

"That's what I think too. But the problem is—"

Dongyang Ping paused for a moment, then didn't continue.

He knew very well that there was no way that a thousand-year-old demon like Lu Suo could be killed so easily.

If we go up like this, we're more likely to return empty-handed, or even suffer heavy casualties.

Yuki Tsukumo thought for a moment.

"What if I go first? I'll use Star Fury to exchange blows with her, forcing her to use her full power. You can then flank from behind."

He shook his head.

"She's not stupid. Seeing three people, she'd definitely have a backup plan."

The three fell silent.

The only sound in the courtyard was the crackling of charcoal fire.

After a while, Dongyang Ping spoke.

"I have an idea."

The two looked at him.

"What is her greatest strength? It's her longevity, her diverse techniques, and her many trump cards. But what is her greatest weakness?"

Ninety-nine Yuki frowned.

"Body?"

"That's right," Dong Yangping said. "The body she's using now belongs to Katsuragi Kaori. She's nearly seven months pregnant, which limits her movement. And it's a human body, not the spirit's true form."

He paused.

"So all her defenses revolve around this body. The anti-gravity field is to keep physical attacks at bay, and those hidden spells are to deal with sorcerers."

Shen Er replied, "But you have no magical power, and neither do I. Our attacks are outside the range of her prediction."

"Yes." Dong Yangping nodded. "If I get close to her, the anti-gravity field might work, but I won't be as fully defensive as I would be against a sorcerer. Because in her eyes, I'm just an ordinary person without any magical power."

Yuki asked, "So how do you plan to break through the anti-gravity field?"

Dongyang Ping raised his hand.

Blue electric light danced at my fingertips.

"magnetic field."

He explained, "Anti-gravity affects the actual mass of an object. But a magnetic field is a different force. I can create a strong magnetic field around my body and use magnetic force to counteract the gravitational field."

He frowned slightly.

"Can it work?"

"I've tried it," Dong Yangping said. "When I fought Yuki before, I used a magnetic field to counteract her spell. Although it was only for a brief moment, it proved to be effective."

Yuki Tsukumo thought for a moment.

"And what about me? What am I supposed to do?"

"You're in charge of keeping her occupied," Dong Yangping said. "Once I make a move, she'll definitely retaliate with all her might. At that time, you'll suppress her head-on, or even stay in the shadows, ready to deliver the finishing blow at any moment."

He looked at Shen'er.

"Can you use your ability to disappear in three seconds?"

Shen Er nodded.

"Yes, but you need to be in the right mindset beforehand."

"That's fine then," Dong Yangping said. "Find a spot to lie in wait for me to make my move. If the first strike fails, you can finish me off with a second one."

Shen Er remained silent for two seconds.

"What if she runs away?"

Dong Yangping's expression turned serious.

"That's what I'm most worried about."

He stood up and paced around the yard.

"That thing has lived for over a thousand years, so it must have some means of survival. I guess there are at least three: one is a teleportation technique, the second is a substitute technique, and the third is something like astral projection."

Ninety-nine Yuki asked, "Can it be sealed off?"

"We can't seal it off." Dong Yangping shook his head. "We don't know what specific techniques she uses, so we can't take targeted precautions."

He stopped in his tracks.

"So what we need to do is not to prevent her from escaping, but to make sure she doesn't have time to escape."

Shen Er squinted.

"What do you mean?"

"A single, fatal blow," Dong Yangping said. "Not just blowing her head off, but completely destroying her body and severely damaging her soul at the same time. So that even if she wanted to escape, she wouldn't be able to do so immediately."

Ninety-nine Yuki frowned.

"Isn't this way too difficult?"

"So we need to coordinate." Dongyang Ping sat back down. "The moment I make my move, you suppress her with your maximum output. Then, attack from another angle at the same time. With three directions, she can only defend against two."

He paused.

"Furthermore, I will use the highest power bioelectricity. The current will paralyze her nerves and interfere with her thinking. Even if it's only for 0.1 seconds, it will be enough."

The three remained silent.

The charcoal crackled and popped.

After a long while, he finally spoke.

"Where are the old man and the other man?"

Dongyang Ping was well prepared.

"I've already made the arrangements. Tomorrow morning, Watanabe Yasusuke will receive a letter saying that an old friend of his from his youth is seriously ill and wants to see him one last time. The old man will definitely go."

He paused.

"Regarding Jin Itari, I've arranged for someone to send him on a business trip in the company's name. He'll be on the 8 AM train to Osaka. He won't be back that day."

Jijiu raised an eyebrow.

"What a coincidence?"

"Unfortunately," Dong Yangping laughed, "I had someone forge his company's notice. His boss is one of my men."

She glanced at him.

"You've got a long reach."

"With the money in place, everything is negotiable." Dong Yangping shrugged. "That company just recently landed a big project and needs people to travel for work. It's a no-brainer."

Yuki Tsukumo thought for a moment.

"And what about the baby? The one in her belly?"

Dongyang Ping remained silent for a few seconds.

"Life and death are irrelevant!"
