Curse Returns: Eight Extraordinary Skills? I lack nothing.

Just then, something unexpected happened.

The plague-stricken corpse rose again, assuming an extremely bizarre posture, and muttered incantations:

"I curse my body, burning my cursed power as fuel, to summon the conquest of the white horse, the war of the red horse, the famine of the black horse, and the death of the gray horse."

"My body is annihilated, my curse power has vanished, I respectfully welcome the divine revelation, to descend upon this world!"

Upon seeing this, Yu Ren immediately unleashed his lightning attack without hesitation, but it had no effect whatsoever.

Everyone launched their attack at the same time, but the result was the same as Yuuto's – it was completely ineffective.

The corpse rapidly disintegrated, transforming into a black pillar of light that devoured the ground beneath its feet, soaring into the sky and easily tearing open a corner of the Songjiang barrier. It continued to rise and eventually collided with the large-scale barrier that Tianyuan had set up throughout Japan.

The barrier that had existed for hundreds of years was torn open with a huge rift.

After the pillar of light broke through the Heavenly Origin Barrier, the remaining Kabane fell one after another, their curse power drained and turned into gray mist that merged into the pillar of light.

During the fierce battle in Songjiang, the magical power generated by the deaths of hundreds of sorcerers and 220,000 people was also absorbed by the pillar of light.

Chapter 67 Debate

Everyone looked up at the towering pillar of light, their minds filled with speculation.

It's important to know that, after these past few days of turmoil, the concentration of curse energy in Songjiang City is now arguably the highest in the world.

But the beam of light absorbed all the magical energy flowing in the air, which was truly astonishing.

People kept trying to attack the pillar of light, but the results were like ants trying to shake a tree, with no effect whatsoever.

Soon, the beam of light changed once again.

It split into four strands on the spot, each trailing a long flame as it flew off in a different direction.

Moreover, the moment they flew away, they automatically entered a stealth state and shielded themselves from the leakage of their magical power, making it impossible for people to use their senses to find their location.

Yuuto stood on the ruins, looking at the sky, a bad feeling rising in his heart, as did everyone else.

But there is currently no way to track it, so finding it is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Moreover, the world of sorcery will be very busy in the coming days, and there simply won't be enough manpower and time to spare.

After a large number of sorcerers entered Songjiang, the Sorcery Bureau, at the direction of the General Headquarters, released some information about the sorcery world to the public.

Even the battle in Songjiang was recorded using special equipment and sent to news channels around the world.

Furthermore, how to deal with Natsumi Yuuki, who was caught by Gojo Satoru, is also an extremely troublesome matter.

He's now a top-level wanted criminal, the kind who'd be executed on sight.

Even if they take him back, as long as Gojo Satoru doesn't give in, the people in the General Administration won't dare to do anything to him.

But this greatly undermined morale.

The world of sorcery cannot afford any more chaos; there are too many things to deal with next.

The group decided to discuss how to handle the situation before leaving Songjiang.

Yuuto, Otsuko, Tsukumo, and Gojo Satoru—these individuals essentially constitute the main fighting force of the official sorcery world.

Therefore, as long as they keep the same story, no one will be able to resist.

Tsukumo found a place to sit down, looked at Otsuko and Yuuto, and said to Gojo Satoru while resting his chin on his hand:

"You may be a terrible person, and it's unpleasant to look at, but your eye for people is absolutely impeccable."

Upon hearing this, Gojo Satoru immediately turned around and said with great confidence, "What's wrong with me as a person?"

"I am an idol-level figure that everyone loves, flowers bloom for, and cars get flat tires when they see me."

"How could anyone hate me? You're obviously talking nonsense."

"It's terrible in every way." Ninety-Nine didn't even look at him, continuing to discuss his poor judgment:

“There was a special-grade Awakened Otsuki, who not only became your student but is also a distant relative of your Gojo family.”

When Yi Gu was called out, he scratched the back of his head somewhat embarrassedly: "Senior Jiu Shi Jiu, you flatter me. I was just lucky."

"Good luck is also part of one's ability," Jiujiu waved his hand.

Gojo Satoru chimed in from the side, "Of course, when has my judgment ever been bad?"

"Shut up, you haven't finished yet." Ninety-Nine glared at him and continued, "Then there's Haruhi Yuuto. Although his initial combat power was extremely low, his growth rate was astonishing, and his combat power made a rapid leap in a short period of time."

"Moreover, that bunch of abilities is dazzling. People who don't understand it would probably have to exert all their strength just to guess what Haruhi's abilities are."

"And you, Gojo, did a decisive job and provided excellent protection."

"Otherwise, those old fogies at the top would probably have already become suspicious when Chunri showed her two abilities, and then kept testing her, or even did something stupid."

"It hasn't reached that point yet. Facing a true Special Grade expert, it's still a bit of a stretch." Yuuto shook his head.

Ninety-Nine glanced at him: "As long as you don't encounter someone with a guaranteed hit closed domain, you are a genuine top-tier expert."

"Given your complex set of special abilities, even a top-tier expert in a non-domain could probably be tormented to death by you."

The atmosphere changed instantly when the topic turned to higher-ups.

Xia Youjie, who had remained silent until now, said nonchalantly upon seeing everyone's reaction:

"Wu, you really are something, treating these good-for-nothings like treasures."

Upon hearing this, Gojo Satoru sighed deeply: "Ketsu, you've really changed. You once said you wouldn't kill for no reason."

Xia Youjie looked at Gojo Satoru, who might turn into a nanny again, and instantly became angry again: "People change, for example, haven't you changed a lot?"

The conversation between the two left Yigu and the others completely bewildered, but Youren, drawing on the original text, quickly understood.

Because of his exceptional strength from a young age, Gojo Satoru gradually stopped believing himself to be human when he was over ten years old.

It was Xia Youjie's appearance that prevented Wujiao Wu's way of thinking from becoming divine.

Furthermore, Gojo's current values ​​and judgments about good and evil actually originated from Xia Youjie during his time at the vocational high school.

Faced with the silent Gojo Satoru, Yuuto chose to act as his mouthpiece, uttering what Gojo Satoru was thinking, but which he himself did not agree with:

"Killing all the high-ranking officials is very simple for Wu; it's just a matter of lifting a finger."

"But it's just a change in name only, there won't be any real change."

"The top echelons are the embodiment of the system, families, and the old order. After killing a group of people, new conservatives will take their place. The rotten roots have not been touched."

Oh my god, isn't that my line?

Looking at Yuuto, Gojo Satoru felt more and more that Yuuto was practically his soulmate, but Yuuto's next words left him speechless:

“This is what Wu thought, but I think it is completely wrong.”

"Systems are inanimate, but people are alive. The old order can continue not because it is so solid, but because no one is willing to take drastic measures against it."

"For example, if you kill one batch, another batch will come because you didn't kill them all, you didn't eradicate them at the root."

"As long as you are ruthless, decisive, and unreasonable enough, those families, those old fogies, and those parasites who depend on power will not dare to show their faces or have the guts to take over."

"True change is never something that you wait for; it's something that you fight for."

"Let everyone know that disobeying you means death."

Only fear can make rules stand. Only blood can wash away the rot.

Gojo Satoru remained silent for a moment. How could he not know what Yuuto was saying? He even somewhat agreed with it, but he still held firm to his own beliefs:

"No, your approach is bloody and violent, it won't work. We must forge a path of generosity."

His tone became unusually serious:

"The reason I chose to become a teacher at a vocational college is so that I can cultivate new people who can change the world from within."

"What I want is not for myself to become a dictator, but for the new generation to grow up and become a panacea for the world of sorcery."

Chapter 68: Controversy over the handling of senior management in the supervisory department

Ninety-nine Yuki listened from the side, growing more and more impatient.

She rolled her eyes and interrupted directly: "You guys don't understand the essence at all, you're always arguing about whether it's high-level or not."

She stood up, her tone crisp and decisive, as if she were stating something utterly simple:

"There are only two ways to stop the cursed spirit from constantly creating tragedies."

"Either erase all the cursed power of all mankind and return to a world without curses."

"Either we turn everyone into a sorcerer, someone who can control magical power, and sever the magical spirit at its root."

Looking at the crowd with differing opinions, she had already reached a conclusion: "In the process of finding these two solutions, those old guys at the top, whether you kill them or not, are just cleaning up the mess along the way."

"Don't treat killing a few old geezers as some kind of great revolution..."

Xia Youjie's eyes lit up when he heard these words, and he nodded repeatedly.

It was this enlightenment that led him to the idea of ​​annihilating all of humanity.

Yuki understood immediately from his expression. She glared at him fiercely and said, "Don't overthink it. I will never approve of your idea of ​​eliminating all non-spellcasters. That's a huge mistake."

Xia Youjie had just opened his mouth when she shut him up with those words, his expression freezing on his face.

Yi Gu watched the arguing group silently, his lips twitching wildly. Dong Tang Kui leaned closer to him, crossed his arms, and whispered, "Have they always been like this?"

Yi Gu nodded: "Probably."

After much arguing and bickering, they finally came up with a plan just before dawn.

First, kill half of the high-ranking officials and spare the other half.

In this way, it has a deterrent effect without paralyzing the supervisory department instantly.

The specific operation involves first screening out those useless individuals who lack both management skills and combat effectiveness.

Satoru Gojo and Yuto will personally visit them to see them off.

Then there were the two college principals, both of whom were assigned to the General Affairs Department, especially Masamichi Yae, who was forced into the position even if he didn't want to.

In addition, Yuuto, Otsuko, Gojo Satoru, and Tsukumo Yuki will also be assigned to positions in the General Manager's Office.

They're given the title of "combatant," but they don't usually participate in management. However, their status and decision-making power are on par with those old guys.
