Jujutsu Kaisen: I have everything I need now!

A figure slowly rose from the sea.

Basha stood atop a spinning waterspout. She had bluish-green scales, a humanoid torso, and several serpentine tentacles hanging from her head. Her deep blue vertical pupils glanced coldly at the sunken ship.

"Vulnerable."

She raised her webbed hand and casually waved it, controlling the waterspout to continue moving north.

"This barren land, this meager energy..." Basha took a deep breath of the humid air, her eyes filled with disgust. "Compared to ancient times, this is far worse. But it doesn't matter, once I find that thief and retrieve the source..."

A cruel pleasure flashed in her deep blue vertical pupils.

"All the land here will sink to the bottom of the sea. The glory of the ocean will return once more."

The waterspout, with a whistling sound as it tore through the air, left a long white trail on the surface of the Pacific Ocean, heading straight for Hokkaido.

……

Furano, Hokkaido.

The flower shop's roller shutter door was completely pulled down.

On December 1st, he sat on the newly purchased single sofa, toying with a glass of water in his hand, his eyes fixed on the rippling water inside.

Zhenyi sat opposite him, holding a piece of velvet cloth in her hand, carefully wiping the barrel of the "Black Queen" gun.

The shop was quiet, with only the ticking of the clock on the wall.

"What exactly is this 'cause and effect that belongs to you' you're talking about?"

Mayi finally broke the silence. She had not experienced that great battle, and now she was looking at the first day of December.

On the first day of the twelfth month, he put down his water glass and sighed.

"You weren't there for the final battle against Sukuna. This is a demon that the world summoned along my causal lines in order to forcibly balance the power of the two sides while I was unleashing all my power."

"It's probably because I regained my physical form that they've chosen not to remain silent and have come out to settle accounts with me."

Zhenyi frowned.

"Seven? Ancient demons? That sounds even more troublesome than the Lu Suo."

"It's much more troublesome. They are monsters representing the seven natural laws of wind, water, fire, mountain, earth, moon, and thunder. Lu Suo at most schemes against people's hearts, but they... are pure disasters." December 1st stood up, walked to the window, and looked out at the pitch-black night through the crack.

"That feeling just now was from the demon representing 'water,' Basha. She's awakened, and... she's coming this way."

"Coming towards us?" Zhenyi gripped her gun tighter. "Because you possess their power?"

"Yes." December 1st nodded. "I've become a thief in their eyes."

He turned around and looked at Zhenyi.

"Mai, you have to leave here."

Zhenyi was stunned for a moment, then her face turned cold.

"What do you mean? Are you trying to make me desert again?"

"I'm not a deserter." December Shuo walked up to her, placed his hands on her shoulders, and said in an unusually serious tone, "This is my personal grudge against them. You can't even imagine their power. This is different from the Shadow Kingdom, where I was still under suppression and needed you as an anchor. But now, I have a physical body, and your existence will only make you their target."

"fart!"

Zhenyi flung away December 1st's hand and stood up abruptly.

"We're accomplices! You said it yourself! In the abandoned factory, in the underground labyrinth, in the Shadowlands... weren't we always together? Now that you have a physical form, you think you're all grown up and want to kick me aside?"

"That's not what I meant..." December 1st rubbed her temples, feeling a bit of a headache.

"Then what do you mean?" Zhenyi stared intently at him, her eyes slightly red. "December 1st, listen up. I, Tianxiang Zhenyi, have never been a pretty face hiding behind a man. Whether it's a demon or a god, if they want to touch my shop, if they want to touch my people, they'll have to ask the gun in my hand for permission first!"

Looking at the stubborn woman before him, December 1st felt a sharp pang in the softest part of his heart.

He laughed suddenly.

"I just can't do anything with you, boss lady."

He took Zhenyi's hand again and pulled her back to sit on the sofa.

"Since you're not leaving, let's prepare to receive customers. But this time, it's not as simple as selling flowers."

"I was prepared," Zhenyi snorted. "The Black Queen has been consuming her fill of shadow energy these past few days and is just looking for a way to vent it. So, tell me, what's that Basha's weakness?"

He was about to explain on the first day of December.

"Bang!"

A loud crash suddenly came from the flower shop's roller shutter door, as if something heavy had slammed down on it.

On the first day of December, Zhenyi and the other woman instantly entered battle mode.

Zhenyi raised the "Black Queen" gun and pointed it at the roller shutter door.

On the first day of the twelfth month, he stood in front of Zhenyi, his eyes gleaming with golden light.

"Who?" December 1st asked coldly.

There were no demonic roars or the sound of rushing water outside the door, only heavy breathing and the screeching sound of fingernails scratching metal.

"Open...open the door..."

A hoarse, weak, yet strangely familiar voice came from outside the door.

December 1st was taken aback.

He glanced at Mayi, who also showed a surprised expression.

On the first day of the twelfth month, he stepped forward and pulled up the roller shutter.

With the clatter of the rolling shutter door, a blood-soaked, disheveled figure collapsed onto the threshold of the flower shop.

"Senior Yigu?!" Zhenyi exclaimed in surprise.

The one lying outside the door was none other than the top-level sorcerer, Yuta Ekiku, who had just left the high school.

At this moment, Yigu's white uniform was completely soaked with blood and some kind of blue viscous fluid. His long sword, which he never parted with, was broken in two, with only the hilt still tightly gripped in his hand.

He had a deep laceration on his chest, the bone of which was visible. The skin around the wound had an eerie bluish-purple color, as if it had been frozen by extremely cold water.

"Hey! Yigu! Wake up!"

On the first day of the twelfth month, he immediately squatted down and placed his hands on the wound on his sacrum.

"A noble horse keeps me away from pain."

A pure white healing light instantly shone, rapidly repairing the damaged internal organs and blood vessels of the sacrum.

Under the powerful healing power of the [Horse] talisman, the fatal wound on Yi Gu's chest healed at a visible speed, and the bluish-purple frostbite gradually faded away.

"Cough cough..."

Yi Gu coughed up a mouthful of black blood mixed with ice shards and slowly opened his eyes.

Seeing December 1st and Zhenyi before him, his tense nerves finally relaxed.

"Run...run..." Yi Gu grabbed December's arm, his voice extremely weak, "That monster is coming..."

On the first day of December, his pupils contracted.

"You're here?"

"We intercepted her near the coast... Her magic, or rather her abilities, are completely unreasonable. She can control the sea."

"But that monster... she used the refraction and flow of seawater to completely blend herself into the entire sea."

Yi Gu gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with resentment.

"I tried to grab her with Rika, but the water pressure there was too high, and Rika's physical form couldn't be maintained. I was hit by one of her high-pressure water blades... and escaped."

"Her current target... is very clear. She's coming for you. Gojo-sensei sent me to inform you to evacuate immediately!"

After listening to Yi Gu's account, the first day of the twelfth month frowned deeply.

He knew very well how difficult Basha was.

As a water demon, she is virtually invincible wherever there is water. Physical attacks are ineffective against her, and energy attacks are absorbed and dispersed by seawater. Moreover, her favorite technique is to submerge everything with water.

"There's no escaping it."

On the first day of December, I stood up and looked at the dark night sky to the south.

"She's faster than the Shinkansen. And if she can't find me, she'll sink this whole island to the bottom of the sea."

He turned his head and looked at Zhenyi and Yigu.

"Mai, take Senior Yigu to the mountain behind the town for refuge."

"December!" Zhenyi was about to explode again.

"Let me finish!" December interrupted her. "This isn't about deserting. If you get too close and get swept up in the current, you won't be able to fire a shot."

On the first day of the twelfth month, he pointed to the dark mountain in the distance.

"Go to that mountain and find a high vantage point. Use the Black Queen to provide cover for me. I'll lure her out to sea and create an opening. She's very cunning; once she senses danger, she'll retreat back into the sea."

Zhenyi bit her lip. She knew December was right. Fighting head-on against a monster of that level was absolutely unwise.

"Okay." Zhenyi agreed, and she helped the weak Yigu up. "You must lure her out."

"Don't worry." December smiled. "I'm a professional."

Without further hesitation, Zhenyi helped Yigu quickly retreat to the mountains outside the town.

On the first day of the twelfth month, watching their departing figures, he took a deep breath.

He turned around to face the turbulent southern coastline.

He could feel the humidity in the air rising rapidly. A thin layer of water began to appear on the once peaceful street.

"Come on, you ugly monster."

The light in his eyes grew brighter and brighter on the first day of December.

……

at the same time.

On the sea less than ten kilometers from the Furano coastline.

Basha is driving a giant waterspout at high speed.

She had no obvious injuries, but she had expended an enormous amount of energy breaking through the blockade.

Basha thought coldly.

"Faced with the vast ocean, everything is in vain."

She raised her head, and her deep blue vertical pupils could already see the lights on the land ahead.

"That's it. The place where the thief's scent is strongest."

Bazaar has no intention of slowing down.

She suddenly raised her hands high, and the seawater within a radius of hundreds of meters around her surged upwards wildly under her control.

"hiss--!"

It was accompanied by a sharp screech.

A massive tsunami, fifty meters high and several kilometers long, formed behind her.

She wanted to use the most direct and brutal methods to wipe that land, along with that thief, flat!

"Let it be submerged."

Basha controlled the tsunami, unleashing its devastating power as it crashed down onto the coastline of Furano.

Just as the tsunami was about to crash against the coastal breakwater.

"boom!"

A blinding red beam of light suddenly erupted along the coastline.

A figure shot into the sky like a cannonball, crashing head-on into the massive, overwhelming wave.

"The sacred dragon makes me fearless!"

The new moon of December let out a roar in mid-air.

His right fist was completely enveloped in the scorching energy of the dragon explosion, like a miniature sun falling, slamming hard into the very center of the tsunami.

"Boom!"

The deafening explosion echoed through the night sky.

The raging heat and shockwave instantly evaporated the wall of water at the center of the tsunami, creating a massive crater over 100 meters in diameter. White steam billowed into the sky like a mushroom cloud.

The structure of the tsunami was destroyed, it lost its forward momentum, and turned into a torrential downpour that crashed onto the sea.

The new moon of December hovered in the air filled with water vapor, radiating astonishing heat.

He looked at Basha on the water jet ahead, a provocative sneer curling at the corner of his mouth.

"Would you like me to heat up your water?"

As Basha watched the tsunami shattered by December's punch, her deep blue vertical pupils suddenly contracted.

She sensed an extremely pure primal power emanating from this human!

"You...not only do you possess the power of the Holy Lord, but you've also stolen the power of shadow?!" Basha's voice became shrill and piercing with rage. "Unforgivable! You filthy thief!"

"Don't put it that way. I'm just making good use of resources."

On the first day of December, she extended a finger and beckoned to Basha.

"Want to come down and have some fun? Or are you just going to hide in the water like a coward?"

"I will crush your bones one by one!"

Bazaar was completely enraged.

She suddenly swung her arms, and the water tornado beneath her feet instantly transformed into two thick water pythons, roaring as they slashed towards the new moon.
