Jujutsu Kaisen: I have everything I need now!

December 24, 2018. Shinjuku.

The winter wind swept across the deserted streets like a razor. This city, once the busiest in the world, was now eerily silent.

"call--"

On the first day of December, I stood on the roof of an office building in Shinjuku and exhaled a breath of hot air.

He looked down at his palm. The lines on his palm were clearly visible, and there were a few drops of sweat on them.

Even though he had already experienced the purgatory of Shibuya, even though he had fought against ancient powerhouses in the Death Journey, even though he had absolute confidence in himself, when he actually stood here, facing the strongest ancient powerhouse who was about to arrive, he still felt a little uneasy.

"So, using six at the same time only unleashes half the power?"

After a month of testing, December discovered that whenever he tried to use his abilities to their fullest extent, the world would increasingly reject him, and the surrounding magical energy would rapidly increase.

He looked up at the eight enormous black vortexes in the sky, where negative emotions were accumulating. In the past month, he, Gojo Satoru, and the other students from the high school had explored them more than once, but even as strong as he and Gojo Satoru were unable to get close, they could only watch helplessly as the enormous figure inside continued to materialize.

"Hey, are you sure you don't need me to take you there?"

Gojo Satoru's voice came from behind. He wasn't wearing his eye patch today, and his six pale blue eyes gleamed faintly in the shadows. He leaned against the railing, his hands in his pockets.

"No need, Gojo-sensei." December Shuo didn't turn around; he was adjusting his breathing. "If you get too close, I reckon that guy will activate his domain out of excitement, and then our three-way battle will only hinder each other."

"That's true." Gojo Satoru smiled, reached out and patted December 1st on the shoulder. "Then go ahead. Remember, don't mess things up, I'm here for you."

"understood."

On the first day of December, he took a deep breath and stomped his foot.

"The free chicken makes me fly to the moon."

He unleashed his telekinetic power. His body instantly flew out, transforming into a black streak of light, rushing towards the tallest tower in the center of Shinjuku.

......

Shinjuku Center.

Ryomen Sukuna sat cross-legged on the edge of the rooftop. He wore a loose bathrobe, and his once handsome face was now covered with black curse marks on his body. He looked like a Buddha statue from hell, waiting for the arrival of his offering.

"Are they here?"

Su Nuo slightly raised his eyelids, and all four eyes turned to the sky at the same time.

"Boom!"

The new moon of December landed heavily on the tower next to it. The huge impact bent the steel lightning rod, but it stood firm and looked down at the King of Curses.

The distance between the two was less than fifty meters.

The air seemed to freeze at that moment.

"It's you." Sukuna rested his chin on his hand, his tone revealing obvious disappointment. "Where's Gojo Satoru? Sending a brat to lead the charge? Is he planning to use your blood to entertain me?"

"I am enough on my own."

On the first day of December, he jumped off the lightning rod and landed on the rubble-strewn rooftop. He cracked his neck.

"Ha...hahahaha!"

Su Nuo burst into wild laughter. He stood up, his bathrobe fluttering in the cold wind.

"Interesting. I thought you were a strange brat back in Shibuya. You have no magical powers, yet you can use those weird and wonderful abilities." Sukuna extended a finger, the tip pointing at the new moon. "Then let me see if you're even worthy of being my opponent."

"untie."

December 1st's pupils contracted sharply. In his vision, space was torn apart, and an invisible slash was already close to his nose in an instant.

"Smack."

An extremely mysterious fluctuation emanated from his palm.

The slash, powerful enough to cleave space, was like ice meeting boiling water the moment it touched the palm of the new moon. The violent curse power within it was harmonized, dismantled, and finally dissipated into nothingness.

The palm of the new moon was intact, while Su Nuo's slash had disappeared.

The entire room fell silent.

Even the students at the high school who were watching the battle via a live broadcast from the shadowy crows held their breath.

"It's blocked?" Yuji Itadori stared intently at the screen, his fists clenched until they turned white.

"It's not blocking." Yuta's eyes were unusually solemn. "December-kun has harmonized the negative emotions in the slash. He said it was the power of the Tiger Talisman, which can harmonize good and evil, and the power of the talisman happens to belong to negative emotions. I didn't expect him to be able to use it so skillfully."

On the battlefield.

The smile in Su Nuo's eyes deepened.

"I see. So this is your trump card?" Sukuna lowered her hand, not annoyed that her attack had been neutralized. "Very interesting. Since it can neutralize a slash, what about this?"

Su Nuo's figure disappeared.

The next second, a gust of wind carrying the smell of blood appeared directly behind and to the side of December 1st.

too fast.

He didn't use any magic; it was purely a physical outburst.

"Bang!"

Su Nuo's fist slammed solidly into the chest of the first day of the twelfth month.

This punch is enough to shatter a small mountain.

On December 1st, he flew out like a cannonball, crashing through the rooftop railing, tracing a long arc in the air, and finally crashing heavily into an office building several hundred meters away.

"BOOM!!!"

The entire building was shaking, and dust was billowing everywhere.

"Is that all?" Su Nuo stood on the edge of the rooftop, shaking his hand somewhat boredly. "It's interesting, but still too weak."

However, before he could finish speaking...

The office building, which was half collapsed, suddenly exploded.

Countless pebbles hovered in the air, and then a figure radiating a faint brown light shot out from them.

December 1st hovered in mid-air, wiping away a trickle of blood from the corner of his mouth. His clothes were torn at the side, revealing intact skin underneath.

The horse's revitalizing power allowed his wounds to heal the instant he was injured.

"That's it?" December looked at Su Nuo, his eyes gleaming with a bright pink light. "Old man, your punch was a bit too light."

"The fiery heat of the pig made my eyes pierce."

Two blazing white beams of light burst forth from his eyes, like two peerless swords, instantly slicing through the sky and piercing straight into Su Nuo's face.

Su Nuo turned his head to the side.

"Sizzle—!"

The laser grazed Su Nuo's cheek, instantly severing the clouds several kilometers behind him. The intense heat caused the skin on his cheek to curl slightly, but only for a moment before the reversal spell healed it.

"Not bad eye." Su Nu grinned, revealing gleaming white fangs. "Then let's continue the fight."

The battle instantly intensified.

Above Shinjuku, two figures collided wildly like two shooting stars.

This was a battle that completely defied common sense.

"The swift rabbit makes me transcend time."

The new moon left thousands of afterimages in the sky, moving so fast that even Su Nuo's dynamic vision could only capture a blurry trajectory.

"A strong ox gives me the strength to uproot mountains."

Every time he exchanged blows with Su Nuo, he would unleash a brute force that could uproot mountains. Even a body of Su Nuo's caliber would feel his arm go numb during the collisions.

"The sacred dragon makes me fearless."

Crimson flames exploded repeatedly in the sky above Shinjuku. Each attack by the new moon was accompanied by a violent explosion, the firelight turning the gloomy sky crimson.

"The serpent of shadows makes me omnipresent."

His figure appeared and disappeared intermittently, his aura completely vanished, launching sneak attacks in Su Nuo's blind spot like a ghost.

Su Nuo was getting a little "annoyed" by the fight.

It wasn't because the opponent was so strong, but because this fighting style was so disgusting.

The new moon of December is like a slippery eel. If you try to outmaneuver it, it will use brute force; if you try to outspeed it, it will be faster than you; if you try to cut it off, it will either neutralize your attacks or withstand the damage and then instantly recover health; if you try to bombard it with spells, it will either become invisible or turn into a bird and fly away.
