A Bizarre Adventure That Begins in Jujutsu Kaisen

Two months ago, when Dio heard about the profound mysteries of the Five Wise Techniques from Xia Youjie, he had already decided to include them in his list of imitations—the techniques of the four modern-day special-grade masters must each have their own extraordinary aspects.

With his current three free memory slots, choosing to replicate these top-tier abilities is a sure-fire way to make a profit.

And now, he has already grasped this technique that can control space and is considered "foul".

As it turns out, Xia Youjie's warning was absolutely correct: merely copying the "form" and "name" of a technique is meaningless.

With Dio's less than three months of experience in controlling and manipulating magical power, attempting to wield such a precise, complex, and extremely counterintuitive power as "Limitless Technique" is akin to asking a child who has just learned to hold a pen to analyze the formulas of relativity.

But it doesn't matter!

The foundation of imitation had been laid; "understanding" and "mastery" were only a matter of time. Dio was never afraid to tackle intricate problems, just as he never doubted that he would eventually reach the summit.

Besides, who says he can't use it now?

"That's not necessarily the case (それはどうかな)!"

As Theo spoke to Xia Youjie in his memories, a pair of eyes that looked exactly like Gojo Satoru's appeared in his eyes!

"Concept Endowment - Ultimate - Namer of All Things": After the scope of the technique is expanded, as long as you have seen it in person, you can endow the corresponding organ with the concept of a specific superpower through "naming"!

This state should have resulted in a terrifying consumption of magical energy, but the "Six Eyes'" own special ability can push the efficiency of magical energy utilization to almost 100% of the theoretical limit.

This resulted in Dio, who was still in the beginner stage of spell manipulation, giving himself the concept of "six eyes" as the "namer of all things," which unexpectedly did not excessively reduce his combat endurance.

At maximum spell power output, Dio could normally sustain high-intensity combat for about thirty minutes.

After activating the "Six Eyes" concept, he was able to maintain full power operation for a full ten minutes—during which time the increase in combat power he displayed was more than double!

The only constraint is that while opening the six eyes, the brain must process the massive flow of information at all times, as if it is actively imposing a weakened version of the "limitless void" on itself, bearing a continuous and intense mental load.

If this negative state of information overload can be overcome or even adapted to, the duration of the six-eyes mode may be extended to twenty minutes.

At the scene where Dio replicated his pupil technique, Gojo Satoru was moved.

He loosely clenched his left hand and placed it beside his face, while extending his right hand forward with his palm facing up, his ring and little fingers pointing forward, his thumb, index, and middle fingers together, and then—spinned them apart!

"water chestnut!"

Gojo Satoru compressed the incantation to the maximum extent, and by concentrating the attack range to the extreme, he achieved a charging and firing speed with almost zero pre-cast delay!

The forward-rotating "Azure" and the reverse-rotating "Radiant," the red and blue clumps of magical power merge and collapse in an instant, causing the two concepts symbolizing "infinity" to collide with each other.

This generates a fictitious mass, which is transformed into a purple sphere about half the height of a person, radiating ominous energy, and then it is transformed into a destructive projectile and launched!

This strike is theoretically powerful enough to penetrate any defense constructed from real matter!

But Dio, facing this attack, simply raised his right hand and pressed it against the purple sphere. After making contact with it, "Zi" gradually dissipated as if rejected by the world.

Finally, Theo raised his right arm and pointed to the fading tear in his sleeve, saying:

"I'm sorry, your probing attack didn't even leave a wound. Were you gently caressing me? What a waste of this sleeve."

"How did you do that?" Gojo Satoru's pupils contracted slightly. His voice held more curiosity than shock.

"To defend against this type of spatial attack, 'absolute defense' is meaningless, and even if it could be achieved, it would consume too much resources."

While defenses against spatial abilities are more precise, they still consume a significant amount of resources. Therefore—"

Theo raised a finger and lightly tapped his brow:

"I have given myself the concept of 'ignoring paradox'."

Paradoxes do not exist in the world of common sense; therefore, this concept not only consumes very little power but also has an absurdly high priority!

After the spell is revealed, the mana cost of "Concept Imbuement" decreases further.

The complex concepts of "Six Eyes" and "Ignore Paradox," which originally required meticulous control and careful allocation of magical power to maintain, can now be maintained more stably and for longer.

The portion of magical power that is "saved" does not disappear into thin air, but is transformed into a potential redundancy that can be flexibly utilized.

In other words, the total amount of effective magical power that Theo can currently use in actual combat has been substantially increased compared to the original level.

This is not a simple increase in the numerical value of the spell's power, but rather a more subtle liberation of power resulting from a deeper understanding of the spell's formula.

Just as a craftsman who is familiar with all the properties of his tools can create a better work with less effort.

"There's actually a technique called 'Concept Assignment'..." Gojo Satoru muttered to himself, "The 'Limitless Technique' has been countered."

"The surprises don't stop there! Now I can do this too."

In Theo's palm, a polar spell ball of red and blue energy also gathered.

"Even Xia You noticed, didn't you? This is unconditional imitation!"

By revealing the technique again, the effect of imitation was enhanced.

Imaginary quality is condensed in his hands.

However, Dio ultimately failed to perfectly control the fusion of the violent and repulsive powers of "Azure" and "He".

The two opposing magical powers, once they began to mix, went completely out of control, like a train derailing.

Like the annihilation caused by the contact of matter and antimatter, they failed to reach that delicate and dangerous balance point in the collision, but instead exploded violently halfway through the fusion!

This is why the unfinished "Zi" did not coalesce into a destructive, directional torrent as expected, but instead "grew" out crookedly and aimlessly like a mutated tumor!

The sudden burst of imaginary mass was like the gaping maw of an invisible behemoth, indiscriminately devouring and wiping out all matter within a radius of twenty or thirty meters, leaving behind an irregularly shaped ellipsoidal crater.

At the core of the explosion, Theo used the concept of "ignoring the paradox" to forcibly suppress and neutralize more than 99% of the destructive energy in this out-of-control eruption.

If it weren't for this concept protecting him, he probably would have been severely damaged by his own mistake.

"Tsk, this is really difficult."

"To be honest, the fact that you've barely managed to reach the Fusion stage is already quite surprising," Gojo Satoru said, clapping in praise.

Theo raised his eyes, his six eyes gleaming: "And there's something even more surprising—after 'seeing it with my own eyes' and failing in practice once, I think I understand."

"If you can do it, then give it a try!"

Gojo Satoru raised his hands, and the mantra flowed like a hymn:

"Nine Principles," "Polarization," "Crow and Declaration," "Between Inside and Out"—Zi!

Full chanting - maximum power!

"Nine Principles," "Polarization," "Crow and Declaration," "Between Inside and Out"—Zi!

At the same time, just like when Dio first fought Kakashi against Zabuza, he mirrored Gojo Satoru's chanting, movements, and flow of magical energy.

Two hypothetical mass projectiles collided and canceled each other out in mid-air, the point of impact shifting ten meters to Theo's side, each unleashing an annihilation sphere of light with a diameter of one hundred meters—

The sphere of light immediately expanded, and a terrifying explosion with a radius of six hundred meters descended with a deafening roar!

The impact and explosion involving cursed power usually do not involve chemical reactions (except for thermobaric bombs like the "stove" of Sukuna), and the detonation process is a transition from shock wave to detonation (SDT).

The detonation wave propagates in the medium that has been impacted by the curse force, forming an overpressure detonation. This wave front catches up with the initial shock wave and develops into a steady detonation.

The higher the level of spell power, the stronger the impact and the faster the blast wave speed, enough to ignore the physical limits of matter and push the impact power to its theoretical peak.

For abnormal spell power holders like Gojo Satoru and Theo, the explosion wave caused by the spell power impact traveled through the air at a speed of almost 10,000 meters per second, even exceeding the detonation velocity of high explosives!

Within the blast radius, the violent energy instantly engulfed everything.

The sturdy trees were uprooted, torn and twisted by an invisible force, and finally turned into carbonized fragments and dust that flew everywhere.

The earth trembled violently, and the soil and rock strata melted under unimaginable high temperature and pressure, and then recrystallized during the rapid cooling after the impact.

A crater of astonishing diameter, made of glass, was revealed amidst the churning smoke and heat, its edges torn in a radial pattern, like a fresh and cruel scar on the earth.

The tent, barely holding on three hundred meters away, burst like a fragile soap bubble. The spectators guarding the edge of the barrier, even though they were prepared, were still violently blown away by the terrifying aftershocks of the explosion.

If they hadn't been located more than halfway from the epicenter, thus absorbing less than one percent of the explosive force, they would likely have suffered severe damage from the aftershocks.

If both sides were to unleash this move in a city, it would be enough to instantly flatten an entire block, right? The difference between a top-tier and a first-tier move is even greater than the difference between a first-tier move and a non-magician!
