A Bizarre Adventure That Begins in Jujutsu Kaisen
Chapter 31 The Strongest Battle - Part 4
Having personally experienced the terrifying aftershocks of "Zi", all the bystanders reached an astonishing consensus.
They retreated a full kilometer before daring to follow the battle with their eyes—a battle that had long surpassed the comprehension limits of ordinary sorcerers and resembled a clash of natural disasters.
Even though many people had used their magical powers to enhance their vision, the two figures that moved like ghosts at high speed, switching between offense and defense so fast that they left behind a sky full of afterimages, still dazzled a considerable number of people, making it difficult for them to capture the ever-changing details of the battle.
Therefore, as one of the few top-tier sorcerers present who could barely keep up with the pace, Xia Youjie spoke up at the opportune moment to offer his comments, his voice clearly reaching everyone's ears:
"Faced with Wu, who uses 'no limit technique' and has 'inviolable' defense, Dio chooses to copy Wu's technique and adopts a special fighting style similar to 'neutralization' technique to fight against him."
After several long-range firepower exchanges and probing maneuvers, the battle inevitably returned to the close-quarters combat phase, which they excelled at.
"The 'Neutralization' technique... does it use 'Domain Extension'?" Nanami Kento asked in confusion.
"It doesn't seem like it," Atsuya Kusakabe mumbled, a freshly opened lollipop dangling from his mouth.
"Domain extension" should be like taking my "simple domain" and refining and strengthening it further.
The principle is to wrap a layer of blank space around the body without imbuing it with any specific spell, allowing the opponent's spell effects to flow into that reserved 'empty space,' thereby achieving a 'neutralizing' effect.
Then he pointed to the center of the fierce battle in the distance: "But as you can see, neither side is currently surrounded by any protective barrier."
In other words, Mr. Theo achieved a kind of "neutralization" effect directly through the characteristics of his own techniques, rather than relying on domain technology.
"You make a lot of sense... Mr. Kusakabe, can you do that? That 'extension'?" Kinji asked curiously.
"Don't underestimate me—" Kusakabe said expressionlessly, crunching the candy in his mouth. "How could you possibly do that? That's an extremely advanced technique."
"What about Mr. Natsuyou? If he's also a Special Grade, he should be able to do it, right?" Kinji turned his gaze to Natsuyou Jie.
Xia Youjie pondered for a moment, then smiled slightly: "I feel like I can understand the principle... that's about right, I think."
After saying this, he didn't offer any further explanation, but instead began to demonstrate in front of everyone.
Suddenly, Xia Youjie's magical power flowed around his body, and a layer of shimmering light, like ripples on water, quietly covered his body—he had successfully used the domain of a top-tier magical spirit to perform "domain extension"!
"Wow—!" Kinji slapped his thigh, his eyes gleaming with fervent excitement, his voice filled with undisguised exhilaration. "As expected of you, Mr. Natsuyu!"
He, who also possessed the same domain but had not yet mastered this advanced application skill, was like a desperate gambler who had glimpsed the winning trump card to turn the tide of the game, or like a sexy dealer sitting on his lap in a luxurious casino in Las Vegas, dealing cards with effortless grace!
While Kinji was pestering Yukichi Natsumi to discuss the relevant technology, Yuta Otsuki suddenly gasped in disbelief, his voice filled with shock:
"Whoa—! Look! Gojo-sensei's right arm has been severed!"
"R-Really?!" Shoko Ieiri, whose eyesight was far less sharp than that of a master mage and who could only barely catch light and shadow, exclaimed in surprise.
She stared intently at the spiraling sonic boom cloud in the distant sky, its shape constantly expanding and twisting, her voice strained:
"That speed... the trajectory is completely invisible! How many times faster than the speed of sound is that? Ten, no... a hundred times?!"
"I'm afraid... it's already exceeded a thousand times the speed of sound, right?!" Xia Youjie replied in a deep voice.
He was able to estimate the condition of his close friend because of his deep understanding of the spell.
"That possibility cannot be ruled out."
Atsuya Kusakabe spoke again, his voice dry, his gaze fixed on the incredibly fast trajectory that could only be described as "science fiction".
"For Gojo Satoru, the word 'impossible' is already commonplace—"
Before he could finish speaking, the "meteorite" that Gojo Satoru had transformed into completed its collision.
Like a falling sun, the ultimate flash of energy exploded before everyone's eyes!
At this moment, all onlookers, regardless of their strength, instinctively raised their hands to cover their eyes or abruptly turned their heads away.
The intense light was so strong that it could penetrate the eyelids and burn the retina, painting everything around it into a dazzling pure white.
Nearly three seconds passed before the devastating light began to fade, leaving behind a lingering visual afterimage and a deathly silence of shock.
"Speaking of which..." Miki Riku stroked his chin, looking at the mushroom-shaped cloud of smoke rising from the boundless sea of fire, and asked a crucial question, "Why haven't they activated their domains yet? That's the decisive killing move, isn't it?"
"Yes, why?" the panda chimed in憨厚ly, its round face full of curiosity.
"Although we were just having a casual chat about something as high-level as 'domain'..."
Ino Takuma scratched his head and offered his opinion.
"But doesn't that consume a lot of magical energy? So it should just be something you can't use carelessly and should save as a trump card, right?"
"Bonito flakes." Dog-roll Thorn tugged at his collar, simply indicating his denial.
"Dog Roll is right," Otsuku Yuuta gently took over the conversation. "Gojo-sensei will never run out of magical power."
His "six eyes" allowed him to use his magical power with unbelievable efficiency.
"That's because his spell power efficiency is incredibly high; he consistently keeps his spell power consumption within a self-replenishing range. Is that correct?"
Ino confirmed Yuta's statement, and then raised another question.
"But this is based on the premise of common sense and conventional application, right?"
If it's a powerful move that involves continuously and repeatedly deploying a domain, then that probably won't work, right?
"Then... what about Mr. Theo?" Zenin Maki, who could only barely keep up with the battlefield dynamics through her magic glasses and could not directly perceive the subtle changes in magic power, was more curious about the other party's condition at this moment.
"Amazing," Xia Youjie commented succinctly, his gaze fixed on the two figures in the distance, billowing with regenerated smoke.
Seeing his two friends escape from the brink of death using the reversal technique, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief and then continued explaining.
"Look at that effortless 'spiritual energy' he exudes when he activates the reversal spell..."
He apparently managed to temporarily copy the "Six Eyes" through some method.
In terms of efficiency and precision in using incantations alone, Dio and Wu are now essentially the same.
"Then there's the total amount of magical power..." Yuta Otsuko added thoughtfully, his expression somewhat subtle, "It's also more than mine. Roughly estimating from my intuition, it's at least... twice as much as mine."
The scene fell silent for a moment.
Twice as many as Etotsu Yuuta, the universally acknowledged "monster of cursed power"? What does that even mean?
"Could it be..." Mingming gracefully rested her chin on her hand, a thoughtful glint in her eyes, and slowly began to speak, "I mean, could it be..."
Including the two individuals involved, nobody really knows... how this "collision of domains" will ultimately turn out.
The reason is actually not complicated.
Gojo Satoru himself only possesses one innate technique, "Limitless Technique," and has no second technique or shikigami as a backup.
If he rashly initiates a battle within his domain, and an unexpected event occurs that leaves him in a passive situation where his techniques are disrupted, he will lose his greatest asset.
Moreover, given his invincible nature, he was actually deeply immersed in the peak competition of meeting his match and countering each move.
A single strike can determine victory or defeat upon first meeting?
That would be far too boring and a waste of such a rare opponent.
But Theo clearly didn't think so.
"Feeding—begins!" Ralu, who had been observing silently, suddenly shouted in a deep voice, interrupting everyone's discussion!
In the center of the battlefield, Theo, who had already completed his regeneration, stepped into the twenty-meter radius around Gojo Satoru, seemingly slowly but actually quickly.
He handed the "Soul Release Blade" to the "World" that appeared beside him, and quickly formed the Brahma Mudra with both hands in front of his chest. The magical power around him was like a long-suppressed tsunami finally bursting through the dam, surging and boiling!
"Ho—" A smug smile appeared on Theo's face, and his loud voice clearly pierced through the space.
"If I delay unleashing my domain, it will seem as if I'm declaring a lack of confidence in the battle of domains! 'Domain Unveiling: The Garden of Sinners'!"
As the domain's true name was revealed, an indescribable surge of magical power erupted from its center!
Almost at the same instant that Dio formed the hand seal, Gojo Satoru's right hand had already risen to his lower left chin like a phantom, and his five fingers flew to form the Indra Mudra!
The reaction time was only 0.1 seconds slower!
"Expanding the Realm: Boundless Void!"
Two vastly different yet equally terrifying domain barriers, like two awakened primordial beasts, simultaneously surged out from the caster's body, crashing into and engulfing the entire space within a radius of fifty meters without any fancy moves!
Given their personalities and Six Eyes' insightful ability to see through the flow of magical power and the essence of spells, if there were obvious advantages or disadvantages or restraints between their respective domains, they should have been able to detect and predict the outcome in advance.
However, when these two extremely special domains, both of which have touched upon the level of rules, collide violently, even the practitioner himself cannot accurately predict where the final outcome will lead.
Evenly matched.
At least in the initial moments when the barriers were eroding each other and fiercely clashing, what was presented was... a breathtakingly evenly matched contest!
