A Bizarre Adventure That Begins in Jujutsu Kaisen

When time resumed its flow, Ganesha's enormous body was as if it had been stuffed into an invisible giant meat grinder. At the same moment, hundreds or thousands of slash wounds suddenly appeared on every corner of his body!

Immediately afterwards, countless powerful and unparalleled penetrating fist energies originating from the "world" erupted from within it!

All the flesh and blood that had been cut off and stuck together due to the freeze of time were instantly separated and thrown away!

A blood and flesh firework, confined to the area of ​​its body, bloomed tragically in the golden ocean of concepts.

Only the head, which had been deliberately preserved, remained intact. It tumbled and arced through the blast wave and flying debris before landing precisely in Theo's outstretched hand.

The newly constructed "Omnidirectional Wisdom Sea" domain, which covered all directions, collapsed instantly, like a temple whose foundation had been removed.

The golden ocean and the torrent of concepts disintegrated into countless, rapidly fading fragments of magical power, creating a brief shower of light.

The tactile sensations of reality returned: damp, cold air thick with the stench of blood and decay; the sticky ground beneath one's feet, piled high with fresh and old rat carcasses; and that filthy, dark, and sunless giant underground cavern.

"How... is this possible..." Ganesh, the elephant god, uttered his last words.

Theo, holding up the head of Ganesha, realized the reason for the domain's automatic collapse: "So that's it. As long as enough damage is inflicted on the domain's caster, it can prevent them from maintaining the domain."

He raised his right hand, and a purplish-black vortex erupted with a powerful suction force.

The head of Ganesha was mixed with the massive amount of flesh and blood fragments that had not yet dissipated, and was sucked into the vortex like a stretched dough ball.

Then, Dio made a move that surprised everyone—he decisively stuffed "Ganesh the Ganesha" into "Spell Manipulation Technique: Ultimate - Vortex", extracted the spell formula, and fired it out as a pure spell cannon!

A fully healthy and powerful top-tier cursed spirit possesses the total curse power equivalent to tens of thousands of low-tier cursed spirits.

Dio compressed, filled, and then released it, and a huge beam of magical energy burst forth from his palm, instantly engulfing the entire underground space.

The rat swarm, the "Rat-Eating King," the skeletal throne, the centipede remains—everything was submerged in that pure light and heat.

Xia Youjie, who was in a semi-amnesiac state, had just finished retrieving the released cursed spirits.

Although he was not in the direct trajectory of the beam cannon, the impact of the aftershocks swept over him like a tsunami.

The walls melted under the high temperature, the ground cracked from the vibration, and the air was ionized, releasing a pungent ozone smell.

Almost the instant the light cannon exploded, Xia Youjie's muscle memory was activated.

The body reacts faster than the mind.

He leaped backward, pushing off with his toes, and tried his best to curl up his body to reduce the area exposed to the impact.

The explosion and shockwave shot skyward, blasting through a twenty-meter-thick layer of soil. The ground shook violently, and the entire slum could feel the earthquake-like roar.

Holes collapsed, buildings crumbled, and smoke and dust rose into the Mumbai night sky like mushroom clouds.

Using the force of the impact, Xia Youjie was propelled far into the air, performing a somersault to adjust his posture before landing. He looked up and saw the light gradually dimming ahead.

As the dust slowly settled, moonlight shone through the newly opened hole into the ground, where only a smooth, glass-like, hemispherical crater with a radius of over a hundred meters remained.

In the center of the pit, Theo stood alone, holding the "Eating Rat" that had been half-burnt by the cursed light cannon in one hand, and transformed it into a small ball of cursed spirit.

He looked up at Xia Youjie, who was peeking out from the edge of the pit, and asked, "Have you regained your memory?"

Xia You rubbed his temples and said with a wry smile, "Most of them..."

What just happened?

I know you can deal terrifying damage in an instant, but why did you suddenly launch Ganesha as a cannonball?

That's a top-tier cursed spirit that has mastered the ability to expand its domain!

"There's no need to regret it. The Ganesha's magic is more valuable than the magic itself."

So even if I hadn't encountered this situation today, I would have extracted its formula sooner or later using the Extreme Technique; it was just a matter of time.

Theo raised his hand and pointed around.

The previously surging, terrifying swarms of rats had completely vanished, scattered without their leader.

"Haven't you noticed that the rat swarm is impossible to eradicate? Hundreds of thousands of rats from all over Mumbai are coming here."

I suspect that the Rat King's mechanism is not based on itself, but rather on all the surrounding rats as a "spare parts depot".

All the rats around it must be killed at once to stop its decomposition and regeneration.

As it turns out, I was right. We just finished work and could go home to sleep.

Xia Youjie remained silent for a moment before digesting this simple and brutal tactical logic.

Theo lightly jumped to the edge of the pit and tossed his "trophy" to Xia You.

"Here, take it."

Faced with absolute power, even the most ingenious tactics and cooperation are but a fleeting moment.

I'm kind of looking forward to meeting the 'strongest in modern times'.

Then, Theo focused his mind on the newly acquired life-giving technique.

As Xia You said, "Ganesha" is able to expand his domain, and his mastery of spells has reached the pinnacle of a top-tier spell spirit.

Even though the precision of the spell extracted through "Spell Manipulation Technique: Ultimate - Vortex" has an inherent upper limit and the structure cannot be further optimized, it is enough for Dio.

If he were to develop this technique on his own, at best he could only make minor adjustments to the existing framework, completing the repair work from 99% to 100%.

What we have now is a "finished product" that has already been forged to a perfect form, and we can even directly inject the positive energy of the reversal technique to perform the technique reversal.

The spell "Concept Assignment" can bestow a new "concept" upon any target (item, creature, spell effect, or even "phenomenon")—for a period of time, this concept will disregard physical rules and forcibly rewrite the underlying logic of the target's existence, achieving a temporary reconstruction at the essential level.

The power consumption of the spell is directly proportional to the strength of the concept, the size of the target, and the depth of the rewriting.

This technique has three basic application modes:

The nature of the change adds a new concept to the target.

For example, a weapon can be given the concept of "high heat," causing it to generate a large amount of heat out of thin air, and any object that comes into contact with the weapon will automatically melt through.

Magnitude enhancement refers to giving the target the concept of magnitude change, which can amplify or reduce the value of a certain attribute of the target to a limited extent.

It can achieve super-fast movement by multiplying speed and enhance physical attacks by multiplying strength, but the body must bear the corresponding load.

Conceptual deepening pushes a particular characteristic of the target to its theoretical extreme, touching upon intervention at the rule level.

For example, the concept of "severing spells" is given to "sharp" blades—wherever the blade touches, the effects of the spell will be disconnected from the spellcaster, which has a special effect on summoned creatures.

Technique reversal "concept stripping": the opposite of "assignment", aims to strip or weaken the existing concept of the target, which can reduce or remove a certain essential attribute of the target, making it temporarily "lose" that characteristic.

For example, stripping away the concept of "hardness" from armor, making it as fragile as cardboard;

Strip away the concept of "toughness" from weapons, making them brittle and disintegrate in a single collision;

Strip away the concept of "targeting" in spell attacks, causing them to spread randomly after release and lose their focus of lethality.

As for the most crucial area of ​​development—the mental landscape of Ganesha did not suit Dio's aesthetic, so he planned to come up with a new one when he had time.
