A Bizarre Adventure That Begins in Jujutsu Kaisen

"My technique is quality!" Yuki Tsukumo exclaimed, her voice filled with the excitement of fighting side by side for the first time.

She grasped the bird-like head of the "Phoenix Wheel," and the entire weapon instantly extended and transformed into a long bone whip containing terrifying mass.

With just a slight sway, the air around the whip emitted a low, strained hum, as if space itself was being slightly distorted by its density field.

There was no earth-shattering explosion, no dazzling light.

With a simple, unadorned swing, the long bone whip, its tip so sharp it even deflected light, grazed the bodies of two tightly bound top-tier cursed spirits with a deft touch, like the Grim Reaper himself.

The part that was struck caused the twin cursed spirits' tough bodies, formed from high-density cursed power, to instantly undergo structural pulverization and collapse, like a semi-solidified colloid being crushed by a super-heavy road roller, forming a hole that twisted inward and continued to disintegrate.

Furthermore, the devastating structural deformation caused by the massive impact did not stop at the point of contact.

It is spreading steadily throughout the body of the cursed spirit at a speed visible to the naked eye, along its veins, like a deadly crack rapidly expanding on ice.

At the same time, the open field covering this area, like a plastic toy sword that had been snapped in two by hand, made a crisp but weak "crack" sound and suddenly exploded into countless tiny fragments of magical energy.

The "anti-childlike" twins are still alive, but their bodies are being gradually crushed and disintegrated from the point of impact, as if they are being slowly pushed into an invisible crusher.

This process is irreversible, unstoppable, and unavoidable.

They can only feel themselves disappearing little by little, just as they have made countless people feel it.

"Oh dear~ It looks so strange and difficult to deal with, but once it can be accurately 'recognized', it becomes incredibly fragile."

I almost whipped him so badly that not even ashes were left.

With a light flick of his wrist, Yu Ji retracted the "Phoenix Wheel," watching the tiny, distorted remnants rapidly dissipating in the air. He playfully stuck out his tongue, his tone carrying a hint of regret that he hadn't had enough.

"It's alright." Theo reached out and gently ruffled her blonde hair, his voice soft.

"Your attack timing and force were just right."

Any lighter, and they might have been given an opening to unleash unknown spells.

Any heavier, and this family might be sent straight to heaven by the aftershocks of our battle.

You're in good control.

While the two cursed spirits still had their "last breath," Theo raised his right hand, his palm aimed at the two slowly disintegrating clumps of cursed power.

"Spirit Manipulation Technique" activated.

An invisible force of gravity surged from his palm.

Their broken bodies, as if drawn by invisible threads, involuntarily flew towards Dio, contracted, and condensed, eventually transforming into two jet-black cursed spirit jades.

The parents of the attacked tourists were looking around blankly, as if waking up from a hangover, their eyes vacant, as if subconsciously searching for something they had just lost but couldn't remember what it was.

The child, now back to normal but still slightly bewildered, stood at his parents' feet, tilting his little face up in confusion and asking:

"Mom, what activity were we playing just now? It seemed like it went by in a flash!"

The mother suddenly realized, immediately looked down at him, a fleeting look of confusion flashing in her eyes, which was then replaced by a formulaic, gentle smile:

"It's nothing... the rides are all over for today. Let's go, honey, it's getting late, we should go home."

The child nodded blankly, tugged at his parents' clothes with his little hand, and followed them as they turned and left.

After taking three steps, he seemed to have completely forgotten the question he had just asked, and his attention was drawn to a glittering souvenir shop window on the side of the road.

Dio swallowed hard and without hesitation, he swallowed the two cursed jades containing a huge curse. The familiar, terrible taste instantly filled his mouth and esophagus.

But he was already used to it, and without changing his expression, he looked at Yuki beside him with a hint of mischief in his eyes: "Before the battle just now...did someone say that they wanted to experience what it's like to be a mother?"

Yuki rolled her eyes at him, but her cheeks flushed slightly: "We'll talk about this another time!"

But... to be honest, fighting alongside you is quite reassuring.

He smiled slightly and took her hand.

"Let's go then, let's go back and continue eating."

The candles should still be burning; hopefully, the staff won't clear our table away so soon.

In the darkness of night, two figures gracefully swept across the sky, like shooting stars streaking across the night, flying towards the brightly lit castle.

The two top-tier cursed spirits that had been auctioned off disappeared in an instant. When Theo and Yuki sat down again at the table covered with a clean white tablecloth and still flickering candlelight, the unfinished main course still had wisps of steam rising from it.

Having easily resolved a potentially huge threat and "turned an enemy into a friend," Theo was in high spirits and developed a stronger interest in Yuki's magic.

He cut off a small piece of steak and asked curiously, "You said the core of your technique is 'quality'."

Specifically, it seems to amplify the power of physical attacks, feeling like a super-high-multiplier power enhancement?

"Why do you think it's this kind of 'down-to-earth' surgical effect?" Yuki picked up a napkin, elegantly wiped the corner of her mouth, and smiled with her head tilted.

"Well... let's try a more 'high-class' approach—"

With a slight thought, Theo silently endowed himself with the dual concepts of "penetrating the deepest recesses" and "the lucky one," elevating his thinking speed and instantaneous intuition to the extreme.

He pondered for a moment, then immediately realized: "Speed ​​remains the same, kinetic energy increases... Could it be that it directly increases the mass effective upon impact?"

"You got it right!" Yuki smiled even more broadly, with a hint of pride in her eyes.

"This is my spell—'Wrath of the Stars,' which can grant myself or a designated target an imaginary mass!"

It does not change the mass of the object itself, but rather adds a "conceptual mass."

"An increase in mass?" Theo quickly deduced its applications. "If the density increases simultaneously, will the object's hardness and toughness also increase? Would this lead to a geometric increase in the destructive power of a physical impact?"

"Partially correct."

As explained by Ji.

"My shikigami 'Phoenix Wheel' is receiving the effects you described."

However, when I use techniques to directly strengthen my physical body, the effect is different—I don't feel any actual increase in weight, and my movements don't become sluggish.

Therefore, within a certain range of increase, even if my 'concept density' increases, its physical strength will not naturally increase accordingly.

This is an effect more similar to your 'concept assignment' than 'attribute enhancement'.

"I see, a very interesting and powerful technique."

Theo nodded in understanding and then frankly told him.

"My technique is unconditional 'imitation'."

Currently, "Spirit Manipulation Techniques," "Limitless Techniques," "Ten Shadow Spells," and "Incantation Spells" have all been successfully included.

"Unconditional 'imitation'...breaking down the absolute barrier of the art of birth?!" Yuki was shocked once again.

She put down her knife and fork, pouted, and stared at Theo repeatedly as if he were some rare creature.

"This is simply... no wonder it is the strongest technique that stands at the pinnacle of legend."

The night breeze was still gentle, the castle lights were still dazzling, and the music in the restaurant was still cheerful. They quickly finished the rest of their dinner.

The crisis that just occurred, which was enough to put the world of sorcery on high alert and might even require a heavy price to resolve, was merely a trivial and fleeting interlude.

Business as usual.
