A Bizarre Adventure That Begins in Jujutsu Kaisen
Chapter 32 The Strongest Battle - Part 5
When both domains are engaged simultaneously, more sophisticated and powerful spells will gain the upper hand.
Therefore, the final outcome will depend on three major factors: spell compatibility, spell power output level, and total spell power.
This is the ultimate test of the caster's overall abilities.
At this moment, one side of the domain is the "emptiness" that drags everything into the "limitless" inner realm, endlessly feeding useless information into consciousness.
It was an infinitely extending, seemingly boundless pure white, but if you looked closely, you could vaguely see the illusory colors flowing within it, as deep and colorful as an ink painting starry sky.
On the other side of "emptiness" lies pure blackness, where even light and basic concepts have been completely stripped away and swallowed up.
That is to attach the reversed "concept stripping" power to the barrier, stripping all things of their existence to an "untouchable" state, where even vacuum fluctuations cease to exist, creating an absolute stillness that makes one's soul tremble.
It should be noted that the scenes manifested in the realm of life do not directly carry functions related to combat and killing, but are closer to the ultimate image projection of the sorcerer's inner world.
Gojo's mental landscape is one of arrogance and a commanding view of all things, a "I am the only one who is supreme in heaven and earth."
Theo's mental landscape is one of "victory and domination," the conquest of all things and control over everything.
Within this realm of mutual erosion and intense conflict, the "sure hit" effect of both is like two opposing torrents constantly canceling and neutralizing each other.
Although the caster can still manually control the spell to attack the enemy mage or the barrier itself, it ultimately comes down to a head-on contest of the mage's skill.
As the two stood in silent confrontation, the two overlapping, intertwined, mutually devouring and fiercely resisting barrier shells in the eyes of the onlookers trembled and vibrated violently as if they were alive, constantly radiating visible shockwaves of cursed power outwards.
However, they did indeed reach a stalemate!
"Really?!" Kusakabe exclaimed in surprise, dropping the lollipop stick from his mouth to the ground.
"No way..." Mingming abandoned her usual composure and revealed an extremely solemn expression.
Even Xia Youjie wore a deeply shocked expression, muttering to himself, "A truly evenly matched contest! They actually did it!"
Deep within that unseen realm, with a one-tenth-second advantage, Dio's "Kara no Kyoukai" had temporarily stripped away a portion of the concepts embodied by Gojo Satoru.
Even so, the two sides are still evenly matched at this moment!
His domain performance, in its collision with that of Gojo Satoru, created a delicate balance.
Theo was perfectly clear-headed: if he hadn't taken the initiative and caught his opponent off guard, he would probably have quickly fallen into a disadvantageous position in a head-on battle.
But it doesn't matter!
He has been learning how to use the power of curses for less than three months now.
Whether it's the total amount, intensity, or precision of his magical power, or the depth of his mastery of spells, he has not yet reached the peak that this body and soul's potential can achieve.
The current evenly matched situation is the best outcome we can achieve.
"What's wrong? You look like you want to say something but can't." Theo spoke first, his voice echoing clearly in the deathly silence.
"It's nothing." Gojo Satoru blinked his right eye and smiled. "I'm just a little happy to see you working even harder than I expected."
"Heh, not as hardworking as you." Theo glanced at the bruises on his body that hadn't fully healed with his six eyes, the horizontal bruise on his nose being particularly noticeable.
"That 'Cute Star Flying Collision' attack just now really took full damage from the high temperature throughout, as we were both the ones bearing and applying the force. It was such a reckless move."
"Hahaha, that worked perfectly!" Gojo Satoru laughed loudly, giving a thumbs-up with his right hand and pointing towards the outside of the barrier. "My students are all watching, let me show off a little longer!"
Despite his carefree and unrestrained demeanor, Gojo Satoru keenly sensed that his own curse power output had decreased slightly.
Without saying another word, he launched the first attack!
After a thorough warm-up, Gojo Satoru skillfully increased his speed to the limit, his figure transforming into an afterimage that exceeded a hundred times the speed of sound.
A simple yet terrifyingly powerful jab, like the tail of a comet piercing through the stars, slammed straight into Theo's face!
Dio's momentary lapse in concentration slowed him down by half a beat, leaving him no time to grab his sword and parry.
He had "The World" stand guard to the side with the "Soul Release Blade," while he suddenly bent down and crawled into Gojo Satoru's arms, tightly wrapping his arms around Gojo Satoru's legs!
Despite the fist slamming heavily onto his skull due to the change in direction, Theo's core energy erupted with terrifying power.
He pushed off the ground with both feet, grabbed Gojo Satoru and jumped up, completing a rapid two-and-a-half-turn in mid-air, using the momentum of the spin to slam Gojo Satoru hard to the ground!
The ground exploded with spiderweb-like cracks, and debris flew everywhere like a torrential rain.
A gash appeared above Gojo Satoru's brow bone; the blood did not flow but instead splattered into a string of crimson beads upon impact.
However, the battle is far from over.
As Gojo Satoru fell to the ground, he braced himself with his hands and used his strength to wrap his legs around Theo's waist like a python. He pulled his head down and his leg muscles tensed up suddenly, pushing and pulling upwards!
Theo, who had just finished spinning and had not yet regained his balance, was suddenly pulled forward and fell unsteadily by this clever force.
Despite the danger, Theo remained calm and slammed his right fist down on Gojo Satoru's chest.
A crackling sound—ominous black sparks began to emanate from the air.
A black flash of light is an omen!
Gojo Satoru sensed the "excitement" of the incantation power that had reached its critical point, instantly loosened his legs, rolled to the side, and then sprang up like a spring, creating a distance of several meters at the last second.
Using the recoil from slamming his head on the ground, Theo straightened up and stood up steadily as well.
In a realm where starlight and deathly silence intertwined, the two once again found themselves in a brief standoff.
The next second, the offense and defense resumed.
Wu Tiao Wu's left fist thrust out like a spear, aiming straight for Dio's throat.
Theo's left hand gripped the opponent's wrist with pincers, pulling it upwards, while his right hand transformed into a blade, slicing down the opponent's follow-up right fist attack.
Taking advantage of this fleeting opening, Theo changed his palm into a fist, unleashing a burst of power within a small space, and slammed it hard into Gojo Satoru's abdomen!
Sizzle—!!!
In that instant, the intensely powerful spell erupted with dazzling black and red lightning!
Black Flash reappears!
A surge of power coursed through his body like a volcanic eruption. Dio spun around and twisted his waist, then thrust downwards, slamming Gojo Satoru's fist into the ground within the domain!
He used his surplus magical power to simultaneously strengthen the ground, thus amplifying the damage caused by the reaction force.
Even so, the reinforced earth, under the impact of the black and red lightning, cracked radially from the point of impact, like tempered glass being struck by a heavy hammer!
Gojo Satoru was jolted by the impact, spitting out a mouthful of blood and rolling his eyes back in pain and shock.
"Continuous black flashes...!?"
His face showed an expression of disbelief and astonishment.
"Ho—the world favors me, Theo!" Theo laughed with satisfaction.
Strong luck is an irrational ability that can distort possibilities and even directly rewrite reality.
This epic duel has continued to this day, and despite Gojo Satoru's far superior experience with Black Flash compared to Dio, he has not been able to trigger the miracle of that cursed attack even once.
This bad luck is truly bizarre.
In contrast, the moment he successfully triggered the Black Flash, Theo entered a state of "selflessness" similar to that experienced by top athletes.
He could clearly feel that every cell in his body was resonating extraordinaryly, unleashing potential far exceeding his usual limits at 120%.
The manipulation of his magical power, which originally required deliberate effort, now became as natural and smooth as breathing, as if it had become an extension of his life.
It was an indescribable sense of control—as if the whole world revolved around one's own will, an intoxicating and absolute sense of security!
He felt relaxed all over and his mood was more cheerful than ever before.
Just like wearing new underwear to welcome the New Year's Day morning, you feel refreshed and invigorated from head to toe!
"Since your 'invulnerability' has no effect on me," Theo said condescendingly, his voice carrying the weight of victory, "then the title of 'strongest' may be about to change hands, won't it? Don't forget, my shikigami hasn't even activated its ability yet!"
"!" Gojo Satoru's pupils suddenly contracted, his gaze sweeping over "The World" standing silently with his sword in hand. The possibility of defeat appeared in his mind and wouldn't go away.
However, at this moment when defeat was imminent and crisis was looming, an emotion that was completely opposite to despair and became even more intense and passionate surged up from the depths of his soul!
A sense of sufficiency!
The absolute strongest person experiences the loneliness of being at the top.
At this moment, in this battle where he was forced to the edge of the cliff and had to give his all, a sense of fullness that he had not experienced for a long time and was almost overflowing was completely filling every inch of Gojo Satoru's flesh and soul, accompanied by unprecedented excitement and joy!
