Chapter 118: No Longer Fighting Alone

After a short while, amidst laughter, everyone gradually accepted the fact that Gojo Satoru had temporarily become female, and the latter finally explained to everyone the purpose of his visit.

"I've already taken care of Su Nuo, including his accomplices. Now there's only the culprit left, Lu Suo, and that cursed spirit. Yue Ren has already gone to find them. I'm here to help you clear the surrounding area and end this battle as soon as possible."

"I'll be going to help out in other places later, so please keep me company for a while longer. It's just cleaning up some small fry, it won't take too long."

The words, gentle yet tinged with absolute confidence, came from the white-haired older sister. Although they sounded a bit strange, no one questioned them, because that was the highest level of confidence and the consensus of everyone: as long as she was there, everything would be fine.

Zhang Xiang and Ri Che watched quietly from the side. Since the other party had this plan, they would cooperate. Moreover, they wanted to see the true strength of this sorcerer who had always been known as the strongest sorcerer.

Only Itadori hesitated, looking at Gojo Satoru with some worry.

"Teacher, didn't you just fight with Sukuna? Are you really alright?"

Who is Sukuna? Itajō, the former host, has a lot to say about this. He is an absolute demon with great strength. He is worried that his teacher is pushing himself too hard.

Gojo Satoru was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, and then a warm smile appeared on his lips.

"Although it was indeed very difficult, I'm fine. As I just told you, Yue Ren has completely healed me. Although it seems to have some... side effects, his technique has undoubtedly surpassed Xiao Zi in terms of healing effect. My body is now almost the same as before the battle. In fact, because of this 'warm-up,' my current state is almost as close as after unleashing Black Flash. It's incredibly powerful."

As she spoke, the woman subconsciously measured her biceps, though her slender skin made it hardly convincing.

"Oh my god...that's awesome!"

Only Huzhang, with stars in his eyes, cooperated with the teacher to show off.

Gojo Satoru is in a great mood and high spirits. The exhilarating battle, the support of equally matched opponents, and the care from her students warmed her heart.

Haddock is truly someone who keeps improving but never changes; she's lucky to have such a student.

So as a teacher, I can't lose either.

As a result, the pressure on Itachi and the others was greatly reduced, and they finally witnessed what it meant to be whipped to death before they even saw the actual thing.

Before the "strongest sorcerer," the so-called cursed spirit is nothing more than dust that she can easily wipe away. As for its level? It's meaningless.

In less than half an hour, all the cursed spirits and disobedient flesh sorcerers in the entire area were dealt with.

Furthermore, this half hour was not Gojo Satoru's limit, but rather the limit of their speed and endurance. It seemed that he had calculated it in advance, and by the time the entire area was cleared, everyone's bodies had just reached their limit.

Tiger Rod and the others spent the entire time following the evacuation of personnel and cleaning up any stray fish that were left behind. They finally experienced what it felt like to be carried by the Heavenly Proxy.

Itadori, Kugizaki, Junpei, and the others finally understood why everyone viewed this person with such prejudice.

This man is different from others. What's most striking is that he has a significant gap in strength compared to others.

With all threats eliminated from the area, Gojo Satoru arranged for everyone to go to other areas before preparing to help others.

It wasn't until everyone waved goodbye that Itsuji suddenly realized what was happening.

"Um, did we forget to tell the teacher about the principal calling him?"

"Sorry, I forgot!"

Junpei was completely captivated by Gojo Satoru's beautiful, dashing, and incredibly powerful figure, and it was only after Itadori's reminder that he finally remembered.

"Is it okay? Everyone has to go back after this, and the principal will call us then."

Kugizaki, on the other hand, seemed indifferent, thinking to himself that it was better not to tell him, so that the teacher could continue to have fun. Otherwise, if he found out so early that everyone already knew about his current situation, he would probably just disappear.

Letting him find out later is like letting him be happy for a little longer; we're actually helping him.

The girl could only use such self-deceptive thoughts to cover up her inner guilt.

"Yeah... but seriously, is this really a good thing for us?"

"I feel like Gojo-sensei was kept in the dark, it's so pitiful."

Itadori hesitated for a moment, but Kugizaki slapped him on the shoulder from behind, making him jump.

"You saw the message Yue Ren posted, and he seems to be enjoying himself. Perhaps it would be no trouble for us to tell anyone... More important than that, finding Yue Ren and getting to the bottom of this is crucial!"

"What?"

"That's it, that one!"

"That?... Oh, oh, oh, oh..."

"You want to ask whether Gojo-sensei's figure was intentionally created by Koshito-senpai?"

"Yes, so Urajing, come with me."

"Huh? Me? What am I doing?"

Somewhat bewildered, Itadori pointed at himself, not understanding why Kugizaki wanted him to go over there.

"Of course, these kinds of things usually require test subjects, right?"

"...Kugizaki, you said something very cruel in such a casual way."

"Huh? Senior Yue can turn back, right? Aren't you curious to experience what it's like to be a woman for free?"

"..."

What if I suddenly feel a flutter in my heart after hearing this?

The two "adults" standing to the side were bewildered by the interaction of this group of young people. They couldn't understand it, but they were deeply shocked.

The joys and sorrows of people are always different. While Itari and his companions were chatting and laughing as they prepared to support others, some were engaged in a chaotic and exhilarating battle.

Sendai——

After slicing the withered old man in two, Yi Gu turned his attention to the other two—Shi Liulong and Wu Lu Hengzi.

Let's solve one of them first.

Unlike the other two guys who were willing to confront him head-on, this old guy actually attacked ordinary people. In Yi Gu's mind, there was no need to show mercy. Moreover, the other party was obviously a cunning old fox who wanted to take advantage of their fight to wipe them out with a special technique.

After several attempts, Yi Gu quickly discovered that the opponent's true form was a weakness. Once he found an opportunity, he took the lead and seized the chance to eliminate the cunning old fox who was trying to hide.

but......

He looked up at the remaining two people.

Unlike Duruf, who has obvious weaknesses, the next one doesn't seem so easy to deal with.

They had already experienced each other's techniques in their recent probing exchange. To be honest, if we disregard his meddling, the two of them were completely incompatible.

A stone dragon, a cannon of cursed power, with a simple technique. The principle is to condense high-intensity cursed power and launch it out with his airplane-shaped hair. The output intensity is stronger than that of one of the four special-grade beings. Moreover, he has a tough physique, and his strength and speed are not bad. His body is also extremely hard. Trying to hit him with your bare hands is like an ordinary person punching a large water tank. You can't hurt him.

If it weren't for the fact that the weapon given to him by Senior Yue was good enough, breaking through his defenses would have been quite troublesome.

The other woman, Uruhiko, has a technique completely opposite to Shiliuryu's. She manipulates the sky and can tear and twist space at will like a bed sheet to interfere with attacks, defend against attacks, and counterattack. She is a typical example of a mechanical technique.

The skill called "Ushura Bullet" can even cut through space to cause damage, but fortunately, the opponent's usage and speed are not very good, so if you pay attention to dodging, it is not much of a threat.

However, the distortion of space prevented his attacks from reaching his opponent, and for a moment he couldn't think of a good way to deal with it.

So, what should we do next?

Slowly shifting and adjusting his position, Yi Gu pondered the key to breaking the deadlock.

I now understand the effects of the spell used by the defeated Duruf; I might be able to make use of it...

"Senior Yigu, I'm here!"

Suddenly, a clear call rang out, and to the surprise of Shi Liulong and Wu Lu Hengzi, a black-haired, spiky-haired boy descended from the sky, while the owl that had brought him turned into black liquid and flowed into his shadow.

Reinforcements?

This technique... a shadow shikigami? Hmph, not much of a threat...

At this moment, the three were in a state of mutual restraint, and none of them launched an attack immediately. In this state, the sudden arrival of reinforcements could become the key to breaking the balance, so the other two began to sized up Fu Hei, an intruder of about the same age.

Then, with a completely different expression, Shi Liulong looked disappointed because he sensed that the boy's magical power was not strong and was significantly weaker than Yi Gu's.

Meanwhile, Uruko's lips... A newcomer who poses little threat, and might even become a burden to the young man from the Fujiwara family, such an obviously foolish move could very well be the key to breaking the deadlock.

The boy was unaware of the two ancient sorcerers' thoughts. He simply walked quickly to Ekiku's side and, looking at the other man and woman standing not far away, Fushiguro Megumi assumed an attack stance.

So it seems that these are the two enemies, along with the corpses around them. As expected of Senior Yigu, he was able to take down one of them so quickly even when surrounded.

Looking at Yi Gu, who was also on high alert beside him, and knowing that the other party hadn't had time to check his phone yet, he hesitated for a moment before selectively saying some important things, intending to encourage his senior.

"Gojo... Master, the exorcism of Sukuna is complete, and we are now clearing out other areas. Senior Yue is also searching for the mastermind. Senior Yigu, final victory will be ours!"

"......!!??"

"Oh, is that so? That's wonderful... It seems we should also..."

"......!!??"

"Oh, is that so? That's wonderful... It seems we should also..."

Yi Gu's face lit up with joy upon hearing this, but before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the woman opposite him.

"Kid, you're kidding, right? Sukuna? Two-faced Sukuna? You mean that calamity fell?"

At first, Uruhiko didn't take it seriously. Although the boy's voice was very soft, as two people who could be called strong in this era, they could still hear each other clearly at this distance.

But to her surprise, the boy's first words were a shocking revelation that shattered her worldview.

Fu Hei turned his head and saw that the woman opposite him had an incredulous look on her face, her eyes revealing a wealth of emotions, the most prominent of which was fear and relief at surviving a disaster? Based on the woman's expression, he instantly realized that she might know about Sukuna's terror or be someone from his era, so he took the opportunity to probe.

"Yes, Ryoumen Sukuna has been killed by our strongest master, Gojo Satoru. You guys are the ones who made a deal with Tosaku, right? Now that the tide has turned and that guy has lost his strongest fighter, if you tell us about Tosaku's information and location now, we can consider treating you well."

"Unlike that demon, we do not glorify killing."

"What a joke! You're telling me that demon was killed? Kid, aren't you afraid of biting off more than you can chew? Do you even know how terrifying that guy was? How dare you spout such nonsense here!"

Uruko instinctively clutched her head, her face contorted in pain. As someone from the same era as Sukuna, she naturally knew better than anyone how terrifying that guy was. He wasn't human at all; he was a demon from hell.

Those despicable big shots, the elite expeditionary force "Sun Moon Star Vanguard" and "Five Void Generals" directly under the Fujiwara Kita family, all of whom were powerful figures she had to look up to, were all wiped out by that guy when they went out together, making it impossible for the then-ruler to invite him into the Heian-kyo palace as an object of worship for the Nirayama Festival.

Such a terrifying being, and now some brat has told him he's gone? Are you kidding me? Can sorcerers in this era be that powerful? She absolutely doesn't believe it.

Although Shi Liulong, who was on the other side of the triangle formation, was also surprised, he simply continued to look at the person he had chosen, Yi Gu.

Whether Su Nu lives or dies is none of his business, and the other party's advice is meaningless. All he wants to do now is continue enjoying his "dessert." As long as he finishes enjoying it, everything will be fine.

Without hesitation, the magical power at the front of the airplane's nose began to gather.

Seeing that his advice was useless, Yi Gu immediately made a plan.

"Fuhei, I'll leave that woman to you for now. Her technique is to tear space, so I can't easily defeat her. If it were you, it shouldn't be a problem, right? By the way, I'd like to see it for myself."

When the two teamed up, they had already shared information about each other, and Yi Gu instantly realized that he was a potential point of attack.

"I see, of course! Don't worry about it, senior!"

Seeing Yi Gu's meaningful expression, Fu Hei immediately understood what the other party meant and agreed without any hesitation.

He was overjoyed because he could finally help his seniors and teachers share the burden.

He didn't want to let down Senior Yue Ren's painstaking efforts in subduing the shikigami; now was the time for him to make his move.

Without hesitation, Fushiguro looked at Uruhiro and clenched his fists.

"Furube, Yura Yura"

"Eight-Handed Sword, Otherworldly God General"

—"Demon Void"

From the black shadows, the strongest shikigami, predominantly white, reappears, setting its sights on Uru-no-Kyouko in accordance with its master's will.

What is that...!!??
