A Bizarre Adventure That Begins in Jujutsu Kaisen

Chapter 90: Similar Beginnings, Part 3 (5/10)

While Gojo Satoru and Iori were focused on the pair of handmade rings that held special meaning, Itadori Hisahito, guided by his mother, began to try to fit Ryoumen Sukuna's first finger into the ring.

Meanwhile, Theo, the director of sorcery, is waiting on his private jet on the dedicated runway at Tokyo's Haneda Airport, ready to depart for Europe for an official visit that will capture the world's attention.

For Dio, using the distance manipulation characteristics of the "Unlimited Technique" to move over extremely long distances was not technically impossible.

In fact, this kind of movement has become a part of his daily life.

Short jumps of tens of kilometers can be completed in an instant, providing great convenience for various operations.

However, the situation is quite different once the scale of movement expands to intercontinental travel across continents.

As a newly acquired six-eyed sorcerer, he could not achieve the terrifying speed of Mach 1,000, which allowed him to travel from the Mariana Trench, the deepest part of the Earth, to the Moldovan bunker in the heart of Europe in just one minute.

Regardless of the enormous strain on the body from maintaining maximum traction power, simply maintaining full body protection for tens of seconds while moving at high speed is an extremely mentally taxing and unforgiving task.

This high-pressure state will inevitably lead to mental fatigue and a decline in performance after landing, which is an unacceptable risk in an unknown foreign land.

The deeper problem lies in the mechanism of "unlimited techniques" itself.

It relies on the "six-eyed" concept that it continuously endows itself with through "concept endowment".

This state is essentially a forced overclocking and overload of the brain's information processing capacity.

The true six eyes are an innate supernatural organ, and there is no risk of the technique malfunctioning.

But his "eyes" are ultimately a "conceptual costume" that is artificially created and exists in the form of a technique.

But the technique can melt away!

While retrieval of information within a radius of one or two kilometers is manageable, extending the "tentacles" of perception and computation to an ultra-long distance spanning thousands of kilometers, and continuously processing astronomical levels of environmental variables and spatial parameters—

The very nature of the techniques used in their creation is inevitably overwhelmed.

Weighing the pros and cons, taking modern transportation like an airplane is actually a more efficient, more comfortable, and more rational choice that ensures one can always maintain peak combat readiness.

As the head of Japanese sorcery, Dio's official status and political position should not be underestimated.

Within Japan's administrative system, the Director of Spellcasting is on the same level as the Superintendent General of Police, and theoretically possesses a political rank equivalent to that of a Vice Minister (vice-ministerial level) in a provincial or ministerial office.

However, because it governs "supernatural forces" that involve national security and social stability, and has a high degree of independence that does not require it to report to or be accountable to other administrative agencies, its actual authority and influence are often even greater, and it can almost be regarded as Japan's de facto "shadow prime minister".

In countries that also have official curse management agencies, Theo actually receives more diplomatic courtesy and attention than the prime minister due to the special nature and strategic value of the "unconventional power" he possesses.

After all, he truly possesses the formidable fighting power to overthrow a city or even influence the order of a nation when necessary.

Therefore, although Theo's trip to Europe was not a formal state visit, its scale was far beyond that of ordinary tourists or academic exchanges.

Its nature is similar to an informal working visit by the top leaders of other countries. It is usually hosted by officials of equal or slightly lower rank, and may appear briefly in the media of the relevant professional field, but it will not attract widespread public attention.

Everything was conducted within a professional, low-key, and efficient framework.

After Theo, Yuki Tsukumo, Miguel, Hiromi Hizawa, and Junpei Yoshino boarded the plane in turn, the cabin door closed, the engine roared, and the giant steel bird sped down the runway, raised its head, and finally broke free from gravity, piercing through the thick clouds and soaring toward the western horizon.

In the mental landscape "The Demon-Slaying Chef", Ryomen Sukuna tilts his head slightly, a hint of pleasure and curiosity flashing in his scarlet eyes.

"Kid, why are you so murderous? This is our first meeting, isn't it?"

"Because Mom told me about your great deeds!" Yujin's answer was resolute. "I have absolutely no qualms about hitting a villain like you who has killed countless people!"

"Haha, really!" Sukuna was truly intrigued. "Just the thought of killing someone is so bad—"

How do sorcerers from a thousand years later develop? Is it through things like friendship or love?

For this man who had been a master of killing time for a thousand years—especially before he had fully experienced Hisahito Itadori's "monstrous" physique—this kid who was qualified to become his vessel was truly interesting.

Let's tease them a little before killing them.

"Of course!" Hisahito said seriously, his eyes flashing with a kind of burning passion that Sukuna found dazzling. "It's these concepts that get your blood pumping! You pathetic guy, you really can't understand them at all!"

Su Nuo let out a sneer, trying to refute this naive child: "————Ha, pretentious!"

Kid, you still have unrealistic fantasies about humanity.

When you live long enough, you will understand that so-called human nature is nothing more than the weakness of fearing loneliness.

Unrestrained pleasure is an essential ingredient in life.

A law-abiding mortal? Better to die a quick death.

"Nonsense, that's not how it is at all!" Hisahito's voice suddenly rose.

"Two-faced Su Nuo, I know your story."

You yourself abandoned your humanity precisely because you feared loneliness!

You have no friends, nothing you truly care about, you just live a meaningless life, killing and eating people, and are feared by everyone!

When the end came, because you despised death, you turned yourself into a cursed object and stayed home idly in your own mental landscape for a thousand years!

How could someone like you possibly understand what "love" is?!

Su Nuo's voice finally revealed a hint of stinging anger: "Boy! I understand what you're trying to say, but I'm a little surprised that you say I don't understand."

Because I understand this, I can confidently assert that so-called love is utterly boring.

I never thought of relying on others to satisfy myself. I eat what I want, kill what I find annoying, and play with what I find interesting—that's all.

I'm simply living in a way that suits me, purely.

If you find this hard to imagine, then that's your own problem—the problem of those of you who are not me!

His tongue slowly licked the corner of his mouth, as if savoring the memory: "After all—human tastes are diverse and fleeting, perfect for a pre-death pastime!"

"I knew I couldn't reason with you!"

Since they couldn't see eye to eye, the conversation came to an abrupt end.

Yujin suddenly bent down, casually broke off a sharp bone resembling a bull's horn from the pile of bones at his feet, and held it tightly in his hand.

The next moment, he exerted force with his waist, his arm lashing out like a whip, hurling the severed bone horn like a cannonball towards Su Nuo high above.

The moment the bone horn left his hand, it produced a sonic boom like rolling thunder, accurately hitting the skeletal shrine where Su Nuo was located.

The immense impact instantly blew away the mountain of skulls, scattering them into a shower of pale, fragmented pieces.

Just before the attack reached her body, Su Nuo nimbly leaped up and landed steadily on top of a nearby huge rib, looking down from above.

But Hisahito was even faster!

He kicked the bloody water with both feet, creating two circles of scarlet ripples.

The boy shot out like an arrow, adjusting his center of gravity the instant he approached the ribs, and his feet landed on the almost vertical bone surface.

His figure moved across the bone surface as if it were flat ground, leaving an upward afterimage, his speed so fast that he almost ignored gravity.

"Grit your teeth!" Hisahito shouted.

"No need!" Su Nuo sneered.

Facing the charging Yujin, Sukuna raised his hands in front of him, slightly spread his feet apart, lowered his waist and hips, and turned halfway to the side, assuming a solid stance.

Then, he threw a simple right straight punch, imbued with the power of a thousand hammer blows and killing intent, aimed directly at Yuujin's face.

Yujin suddenly lunged forward onto the ground.

With hands like claws, he gripped his ribs with a snap, and his core muscles tightened suddenly like a spring.

Using the momentum of his forward charge, he spun horizontally in mid-air like a high-speed spinning top, narrowly avoiding a punch that could have shattered a chariot.

The rotation did not stop.

As his body descended, Yujin used his waist and abdomen to channel all the rotational kinetic energy into his right leg.

A fierce, axe-like spinning kick slammed into Su Nuo's left cheekbone!
