Jujutsu Kaisen: I have everything I need now!

Deep in the mossy forest.

Zhenyi and December 1st are making a difficult trek.

The environment here is more humid than before, and the air is filled with a strong smell of humus.

"Wait." December 1st suddenly stopped and reached out to stop Zhenyi.

Zhenyi immediately gripped her pistol more tightly and scanned her surroundings.

"Is there an enemy?"

"There is something else."

On the first day of December, he stared at a large patch of shadow directly in front of him.

The huge moss leaf in front of them suddenly began to shake violently.

Accompanied by a chilling rustling sound, an extremely large creature crawled out of the shadows.

That was a centipede.

But from Zhenyi and December's current perspective, this centipede looked like a heavy armored train. Its countless slender legs moved rapidly across the ground, and its hard shell gleamed with a nauseating dark red sheen.

This centipede wasn't a monster created by the barrier; it was just an ordinary insect that already existed in the botanical garden. But to the two people who had been shrunk, it became a complete prehistoric behemoth.

The centipede had clearly spotted the two intruders. It waved its enormous tentacles twice in the air, then opened its two massive mandibles and lunged straight at the two men.

"This is troublesome." December 1st frowned.

Although he didn't sense any magical power from the thing, he could vaguely feel the power of the shadow on its body. Clearly, it was empowered by the mask.

With its current size and hard shell, it's enough to give them a run for their money. Most importantly, a fierce battle here would definitely attract the lurking Mantis Squad assassins.

"I'll handle it, and try not to make too much of a commotion."

Zhenyi stepped forward and raised the "Black Queen".

"Don't shoot!" December immediately stopped her. "The gunshot is too loud! With its enhanced power, you might not be able to kill it with one shot; it will only enrage it."

"What should we do? Wait for it to come and eat us?" Maya asked, watching the giant jaws getting closer and closer.

On the first day of the twelfth lunar month, I took a deep breath and closed my eyes slightly.

"Leave it to me."

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

December 1st's body tensed up suddenly, and a faint yellow light covered his arms.

Just as the centipede's enormous venomous jaws were about to bite them...

On the first day of the twelfth month, he took a step forward, advancing instead of retreating, and suddenly raised his hands upward, actually catching the centipede's two venomous jaws, which were like giant scissors!

"Bang!"

A dull thud of flesh colliding rang out.

On the first day of December, his feet left two deep craters in the ground, but he miraculously stood firmly on his feet.

The enormous centipede let out an angry hiss and tried desperately to close its massive jaws, but it found that the human's hands were as hard as steel, and no matter how hard it tried, it could not budge them an inch.

"Such strength..." December Shuo gritted his teeth, several veins bulging on his forehead. He hadn't unleashed his full power, not even half of it, and facing a monster of this size, he felt a bit strained.

"Mai! Sting its eyes!"

Without any hesitation, Zhenyi did not draw her gun, but instead pulled out a dagger from behind her.

Following the arm of the new moon, she nimbly leaped up and landed directly above the centipede's enormous head.

She poured the little magical power and shadow power she had left into it, and plunged it fiercely into the centipede's eyeball.

"Pfft!"

Blue liquid sprayed out instantly.

The centipede let out an extremely shrill scream, and its huge body began to twist and roll wildly.

On the first day of the twelfth month, he took the opportunity to loosen his grip and retreat rapidly backward, catching Mayi as she fell from mid-air.

The two quickly hid behind a huge blade of grass in the distance.

The blind centipede wreaked havoc on its surroundings, scattering huge clumps of moss and dirt. After several minutes, it finally dragged its injured body and slunk away into the shadows in the distance.

"Phew..." December leaned against the grass stem, wiping the sweat from his forehead. "That was close."

Zhenyi wiped the green liquid off the dagger on a blade of grass and put it back in her boot.

"Well done." Zhenyi glanced at December 1st. "You seem much more useful than before."

"Thank you for the compliment." December 1st gave a wry smile. "I haven't even used half of my power yet."

Suddenly, a sense of unease washed over him, and he abruptly turned his head to look at the open space where they had just fought.

There, unnoticed, stood seven or eight black, mantis-shaped monsters. They were arranged in neat rows, their eyes fixed on the blade of grass where Zhenyi and December Shuo were hiding.

"It seems we've been discovered after all." December's voice turned cold.

Zhenyi gripped the "Black Queen" tightly and stepped out from behind the grass stems.

"Then let's fight our way out."

Just then.

Suddenly, an extremely violent explosion came from a distance.

"boom!"

With the sound of an explosion, a visible white beam of magical energy shot into the sky, even tearing apart part of the barrier clouds above.

"It's Senior Yigu!" A hint of surprise flashed in Mayi's eyes.

"That direction..." December 1st closed her eyes and sensed it for a moment. "Let's go! They're in big trouble. This level of magical power eruption means they're facing an extraordinary enemy."

Without any hesitation, the two of them rushed headlong toward the direction where the curse power was erupting.

Upon seeing this, the seven or eight mantis-shaped monsters behind them instantly spread their thin wings, transforming into several black afterimages, and chased after them closely.

……

The edge of the gravel area.

Yigu Yuta knelt on the ground, panting heavily. The long sword in his hand was riddled with nicks, and the light of his cursed power had become very dim.

Beside him, Maki's sword had broken in two, and she looked rather disheveled.

Kugizaki Nobara was in an even worse state. Her hammer was nowhere to be found, and her body was covered with fine cuts. She was leaning against Maki's back, clearly having lost her fighting ability.

Rika's massive body blocked their way, but her body was also riddled with broken black scythe blades, and her translucent form flickered as if it might vanish at any moment.

In the open space around them lay the corpses of dozens of mantis-like monsters.

But these corpses were nothing to the enemies surrounding them.

In the air directly in front of them, hundreds of densely packed black mantis monsters hovered. They made no sound and made no movement, like a well-trained army, coldly watching their dying prey below.

And at the very front of this army.

A figure stood out from the crowd.

It was much smaller than the other monsters, almost the same size as a normal human. It did not have large compound eyes, and its face was covered with an extremely exquisite black mask carved with scythe totems.

It wore a tight-fitting night suit similar to that of an ancient ninja. Its hands were not scythes of insects, but two short blades that emitted a ghostly green poisonous light.

The supreme commander of the mantis-shaped regiment.

General Cabo.

General Cabo stood quietly atop a piece of gravel, looking down at Etogu Yuta below.

"In this world, I am the truth. I am the law."

General Cabo's voice was devoid of any emotion, sounding like a cold, mechanical voice.

It slowly raised the dark green short blade in its hand and pointed it at Yi Gu.

"Humans, your struggle has come to an end."

Yi Gu gritted his teeth and forced himself to stand up. He poured the last bit of his remaining magical power into his longsword.

"As long as I have a breath left, I will never let you succeed!"

A disdainful chuckle escaped from beneath General Cabo's mask.

It casually swung the short blade in its hand downwards.

An extremely fine, almost invisible green cutting line instantly traversed a distance of tens of meters, slicing directly towards Yi Gu's neck.

That's too fast.

In this microscopic world, General Cabo's strikes have transcended the limits of sound and sight.

Yi Gu only felt a sharp pain in his throat, and he didn't have time to raise his knife to block.

"Bang--!!!"

At this critical moment.

A muffled gunshot rang out from behind the encirclement.

A jet-black energy blast, carrying terrifying kinetic energy, struck the green cutting line with perfect precision.

The two forces collided in mid-air, bursting into blinding flames.

"Who says their struggle ends here?"

A cold and arrogant voice came from behind.

A gap was forcibly torn open in the encirclement.

Maya strode in, gripping the red-hot barrel of the "Black Queen" gun with both hands.

Beside her, December Shuo stood with his hands in his pockets, his eyes cold.

"Hey everyone."
