Hero? I'm just here to borrow power!

"Admit defeat. Even if you heal your body, your magical power output will no longer be able to support you in continuing the fight."

At this moment, Bai Ye slowly turned her head away.

The feeling of taking a hit from Ryoumen Sukuna's "Black Flash" is not pleasant.

If he hadn't acquired Fukushiro's "superhuman" abilities, Byakuya wouldn't have risked taking that punch from Ryoumen Sukuna.

Even though he had to use the Reversal Technique repeatedly during "Unlimited Blade Works," which reduced his spell power output due to the barrage of his Noble Phantasms, Ryoumen Sukuna was still the most powerful spellcaster in a thousand years.

If it were an ordinary sorcerer without a superhuman physique, that single punch would have been enough to kill them.

"Otherwise, if things continue like this, you will only end up dying along with Hisahito Itadori."

Looking at Ryoumen Sukuna, who still hadn't chosen to return control of his body to Itadori and was stubbornly using the Reversal Technique to heal himself, Byakuya frowned.

At this moment, even though Bai Ye was not in his transformed state, he could still sense, with his keen senses as "Heaven and Tyrant," that the two Sukuna's life force was already alarmingly low.

In other words, at this moment, he was barely surviving only because of his powerful reversal technique.

At this moment, Gojo Satoru's brain finally recovered completely.

This strongest Special Grade also arrived at the battlefield the instant Byakuya's "Unlimited Blade Works" disappeared. Facing the combination of Byakuya and Gojo Satoru, Sukuna Ryoumen has no chance of turning the tide.

Faced with this situation, even if Ryomen Sukuna refuses to admit defeat because of his pride as the "King of Curses," he should at least face reality and understand his fate.

But at this moment, the two Sukuna were laughing.

laughing out loud!

Laughing wildly!

"Hahaha! I never imagined that a thousand years later, there would be such powerful sorcerers! And such powerful domains! That world full of broken swords, it really has me hooked!"

"Compared to a thousand years ago, the world today is truly fascinating! But in the end, it's all thanks to you, Bai Ye, that I was able to witness such a beautiful 'world'!"

Despite his exhaustion, which made it difficult for him to even stand, the laughing Sukuna showed no trace of self-awareness as a loser.

"Is this your last words? How incredibly boring..."

When Gojo Satoru arrived at Byakuya's side, he saw that the two Sukuna in front of him were clearly defeated, but still refused to return their bodies to Itadori Yuujin. He was about to make a sarcastic remark.

However, his "six eyes" keenly observed a strange and unsettling change in the two-faced Su Nuo.

No! This guy should have been seriously injured! How could so much magical power suddenly appear in his body?!

"Watch out, Bai Ye!"

Sensing something amiss, Gojo Satoru immediately spoke up, warning Byakuya.

After Gojo Satoru noticed the abnormality in Ryoumen Sukuna, Byakuya also realized the source of this abnormality.

Could it be...?

Looking at the ominous aura slowly rising from the two Su Nuo bodies, Bai Ye's eyes revealed a sense of understanding.

Behind Ryoumen Sukuna, the cursed king who was already undoubtedly a loser, the huge, ferocious skull shrine slowly reappeared once again!

Impossible! In his current state, there's absolutely no way he can unleash his domain again!

Gojo Satoru stared in horror at the two Sukuna domains.

However, even as the strongest Special Grade expert, he did not stop acting because of the shock.

Upon realizing that Ryomen Sukuna had once again activated his domain, Gojo Satoru immediately formed a hand seal and activated his own domain – "Boundless Void".

Something's not right, absolutely not right! How could Ryoumen Sukuna unleash his domain in this state? This doesn't make sense... And why do I have this ominous feeling? What is this?

Upon noticing the familiar yet menacing skull shrine slowly rising from the ground, Gojo Satoru immediately attempted to neutralize the guaranteed hit effect of the two Sukuna domains with his own domain, "Boundless Void."

However, this time, at the moment when the domains called "Subduing Demon Chef" and "Boundless Void" collided, Gojo Satoru's face turned pale!

The "Boundless Void," which was originally able to rival the "Demon-Subduing Chef," was shattered like a sandcastle being washed away by waves in the brief moment of its confrontation with the "Demon-Subduing Chef."

The "spell fracturing" state that caused the domain to be instantly shattered was completely unexpected by Gojo Satoru.

He gazed at the slowly rising skull shrine behind the two Su Nuo, and only then did he realize that the shrine, which he had been very familiar with, was now dozens of times larger than the one he had fought before!

The domain of the two Sukuna has also increased in size and intensity by dozens of times for some unknown reason!

“I see… You must have already grasped this when we fought within my 'Unlimited Blade Works'.”

At that moment, Byakuya's calm voice came from Gojo Satoru's ear.

"After all, my 'inherent barrier' and your 'born domain' are both things that are ambiguous."

"Even so, despite being two completely different systems, you were able to understand part of the essence of my 'Unlimited Blade Works,' thereby allowing your 'Domain Expansion' to evolve. To achieve this level, even I have to praise you, King of Curses."

Bai Ye looked up at the skull shrine, which was now hundreds of meters high and resembled a mountain. A hint of genuine admiration appeared in his usually cold eyes.

“That’s what makes me different from you, kid.”

Upon hearing Bai Ye's voice, Liang Mian Su Nuo, who was also on his shrine, responded with a cruel laugh.

"What worthy opponents do you, born in this era, have? You're just playing house with a bunch of cursed spirits or curse masters."

"But I am different. For thousands of years, I have walked through mountains of corpses and seas of blood. I don't know how many of you guys who are called 'geniuses' have I killed."

At this moment, Ryoumen Sukuna, with her four hands forming hand seals, has evolved once again after fighting with Byakuya's "Infinite Blade Works"! She was already an open-domain "Demon Slayer Chef"!

Farewell, 'strongest' of this era!

"What you lack is true 'strength'."

"They're just a bunch of guys who'd hold their heads high over some nobody kid."

"Let you all turn to dust and disappear!"

"Domain Expansion - Demon-Slaying Chef - Modified!"

In the world of sorcery, a terrifying "domain" with a radius of a kilometer, which had never existed before, was now being unleashed for the first time in the hands of Ryoumen Sukuna—the absolute king of curses who had dominated for thousands of years!

Endless "Solutions" and "Eighths," these two invisible strikes, as the domain itself strengthened, swept over Byakuya and Gojou Satoru with an "inevitable hit" offensive!

"True power?"

What are we lacking?

Upon hearing the words of the two Su Nuo, Bai Ye's face remained completely expressionless.

Facing this sure-hit slash that could tear him and Gojo Satoru apart in an instant, he did not retreat at all.

"He's just an old guy who cheats by using 'restraints,' and he really dares to say that."

At this moment, Bai Ye was holding a card that he had never used before.

That was the only card he ever drew—an A-grade card.

"Let me show you what true power is."

The character card, shrouded in an ominous, dark blue aura of death, was slowly inserted by Bai Ye into the driver at his waist.

"Heroes ride..."

For the first time, a heavy sound emanated from Bai Ye's belt.

The sound was like a heavy hammer, forging scorching steel, blow by blow.

"Iron-Armored Netherworld!"

A massive, dark blue-black steel armor, exuding power, completely enveloped Bai Ye's body, much like darkness itself.

The runes engraved on that steel armor, which exudes an aura of death, symbolize the ultimate "conquest" and "power".

"Pass through the Dark Gate!"

As a heavy, inhuman voice rang out from Byakuya's mouth, Ryoumen Sukuna, Ryoumen Sukuna's domain, and Byakuya himself all vanished from the real world.

Jujutsu Kaisen: Chapter 61 Destiny! Domination! Deception!

He died twice and was reborn three times.

This short sentence is enough to summarize the life of the person Bai Ye now controls, named 'Iron Armored Nether Soul,' or perhaps a ghost, or even—a "god."

In the previous battle, Ryoumen Sukuna's disapproval of Byakuya and Gojo Satoru was not essentially due to their strength.

In fact, if he hadn't taken over Itadori Yuujin's body, it would have been almost impossible for him to defeat Gojo Satoru and Byakuya together.

Even so, Ryoumen Sukuna, the King of Curses, still wouldn't acknowledge the strength of Byakuya and Gojo Satoru.

Why is that? Because he was born with a curse, and from birth he embarked on a path of death forged by mountains of corpses and seas of blood, a path where he had to curse others with each other.

In his eyes, whether it was Gojo Satoru or Byakuya, they represented nothing more than "people who were born extremely powerful" within the human race.

She is merely a "favorite of heaven," how can she compare to herself who is "born a curse"?

They enjoy their rightful power, and the arrogance and greed that come with it are precisely where they are "weakest".

Thinking this way, he gained inspiration after fighting Bai Ye and facing that "domain" that could unconditionally overwhelm him.

Subsequently, at the cost of "being unable to use hand seals to expand the domain"—which is almost equivalent to self-destruction for a sorcerer—he made a vow to "gain sorcery power and further expand the scale of the domain."

Because he was born with a cursed, deformed body, although he cannot form hand seals with both hands, he can still use all four hands to form hand seals to avoid the consequences.

Whether it's the level of development of techniques, the mastery of barrier spells, or even the way of using restraint, I am far superior to these brats.

He felt that he could kill these two so-called "favorites of heaven" at this moment and in this place, just as he had done a thousand years ago.

Until he was pulled into this world by that dark blue figure.

This is a cursed world.

The sky was a deathly leaden gray, devoid of sun, moon, and stars, with only broken clouds hanging low like the cloaks of the dead. Beneath his feet lay a wasteland covered with the ashes and rust of the dead, the air thick with the sweet, metallic scent of rust and blood. This frigid air made him feel that every breath he took carried the weight of death, as if it were freezing his lungs.

Is this a domain?

That's impossible, isn't it? Even if someone could possess two techniques, they couldn't possibly possess two domains.

Before the two Sukuna, Byakuya, transformed into a dark blue-black armor, stood like the king of this world.

The sound of a cold wind whistling could be heard.

No... that wasn't wind at all.

Only then did Ryoumen Sukuna realize the source of the ominous sound: the weeping of a departed soul wrapped around the "giant hammer" that Byakuya was tightly gripping in his hand.

"Only those who are worthy can bear the kiss of the Nightfall."

Bai Ye seemed to notice the gazes of the two Su Nuo, and a heavy sound came from within the massive steel armor.

Nightfall is the name of the "giant hammer" in Bai Ye's hand at this moment.

In reality, judging from its effect alone, it looks more like a magic staff.

This is a weapon forged from the soul of a wizard. Its greatest effect is that the souls of creatures killed by this weapon will be absorbed and controlled by it. Similarly, it can also serve as a key connecting the world of the living with the "underworld" of the Ironclad Wraiths.

At this moment, after harnessing the power of the Iron Armored Soul, Bai Ye used Nightfall to pull Ryoumen Sukuna, Ryoumen Sukuna's domain, and himself into this world after death.

Bai Ye raised the giant hammer in his hand and pointed it at the two Su Nuo.

"Didn't you say that what we lack is true 'strength'?"

As the absolute ruler of this death space, Bai Ye no longer needed to rely on his domain to occupy a high position to look down on him, unlike the previous two-faced Su Nuo. At this moment, Bai Ye simply stood there, and his body made of steel naturally carried an oppressive force from above.

"Then prove to me whether you deserve to die by this weapon!"

Before Bai Ye could act after speaking, Liang Mian Su Nuo felt a strong sense of life and death crisis. If he didn't do something, he would definitely die!

Although I don't know how this brat did it, it was definitely a miscalculation of him to drag my domain into this world as well. My 'Demon-Slaying Chef - Modified' is now far more powerful than before!

"Hmph! You think you can fool me with words like that?"

Two Sukuna faced Byakuya's steel body, their brows furrowed, and their four hands simultaneously formed a hand seal.

The evolved skull shrine slowly rose from this dark and gloomy world of the dead!

Cut!

Endless slashes!

What engulfed the white night was the "Solution" and "Eight" that inherently possessed the ability to hit the mark in the domain.

Unlike "Unlimited Blade Works", this world, filled with the aura of death, does not possess any domain effect that suppresses "Fuma no Miko".

It's as if it were simply a world.

Therefore, Ryomen Sukuna witnessed firsthand how his slash engulfed Byakuya's steel body.
