This feeling... the power of the Star Plasma has become so docile, as if it has found a home.
Naoya looked at the scene and couldn't help but gasp.
It's unbelievable that it can actually guide the power of Star Plasma. This is beyond the scope of an ordinary Zanpakutō.
"Satoshi," Satoru leaned against the doorframe, his tone still lazy but his eyes serious. "Are you sure you want to do this? Once the news gets out..."
"Satoru," Satoshi cut him off. "Some things have to be done by someone."
Suguru added softly, "And with the current strength of the Gojo clan, even if the news spreads, no one will dare act rashly."
Shinsuke stood in the corner, his expression complicated as he watched.
Is this the strength of the Gojo clan? Not only do they have absolute power, they also have foresight beyond ordinary people. No wonder my father said only the Gojo clan can truly protect the Star Plasma Vessel.
At that moment, Sakanade let out a clear ring.
As Sakanade in Satoshi's hand chimed, space within the forge twisted. Everyone felt dizzy, as if they had lost all sense of direction.
Only Riko stood steady, a strange light flashing in her eyes.
It's so strange. Space is clearly distorting, but I can still sense every direction with clarity.
Riko was surprised to find that not only that, the Star Plasma within her was also finding order within the distortion.
"This is the power of Sakanade," Satoshi said calmly, each word carrying invisible weight. "Finding order in chaos, pointing the way in confusion."
Satoru narrowed his eyes, Cursed Energy flowing subtly around him. This guy Satoshi actually combined spatial distortion with guiding Star Plasma perfectly. It seems these nine years of sleep did not set him back, they pushed him further.
The Zenin brothers were speechless. The scene before them shattered their understanding. A Zanpakutō could not only distort space, it could also guide Star Plasma. This level of power was beyond the imagination of ordinary sorcerers.
Suguru stood aside, thinking.
As expected of Satoshi. He already saw what the Star Plasma Vessel truly needs. Rather than simply protecting her, it is better to grant her the ability to control her own power.
Suddenly, the air pulsed violently.
The fluctuations grew stronger. The Gojo clan's barrier was resonating. Hurried footsteps approached from outside. It seemed others in the clan had noticed the anomaly.
Amusement flickered in Satoru's eyes. "Looks like the old man and his people can't sit still anymore."
Suguru glanced toward the door. "The head of the Gojo clan and Shunichi should be here soon."
The glow along Sakanade's edge slowly faded, and the spatial distortion disappeared.
But Riko clearly felt that the Star Plasma within her was completely different from before. The once violent energy had become astonishingly docile.
This feeling... it's like finally finding the right path. So the power of Star Plasma can be guided like this.
Naoya glanced at his cousin. The development of events has completely exceeded our expectations. Satoshi not only agreed to protect the Star Plasma Vessel, he even forged a special Zanpakutō for her. This move...
At that moment, Kumaen and Shunichi appeared outside the forge. The old patriarch looked into the room, shock written across his weathered face.
Shunichi couldn't hide his surprise. "Remarkable. This Zanpakutō you forged..."
Kumaen stepped slowly into the forge, each step carrying undeniable authority.
Despite his age, the head of the Gojo clan's presence remained undiminished.
His sharp gaze flicked between Sakanade and Riko.
His years of experience let him grasp the truth at a glance.
The strength of this Cursed Energy resonance... it's definitely not ordinary. It isn't only the Zanpakutō's power, more importantly it forges a special link with the Star Plasma. What did this child Satoshi realize during his nine years of sleep?
"Patriarch," Satoru kept his lazy look, but his eyes were extremely serious. "It seems things have exceeded expectations."
Shunichi's face turned solemn. His intuition as a master of swordsmanship let him feel unprecedented power from Sakanade. "This Zanpakutō... it can not only reverse space, it can also guide Star Plasma. Satoshi, when did you start preparing this?"
Satoshi looked quietly at the two elders. "It came to me as an idea, but I have been thinking about the Star Plasma Vessel ever since the Tombs of the Star vanished."
Kumaen nodded slowly, relief and complexity mixing on his face.
This child's growth has far exceeded my expectations. He not only sees the current situation clearly, he has prepared for the future and made choices for the future of the entire jujutsu world.
At that moment, Riko felt a subtle stir within the Star Plasma. It was an unprecedented sensation, as if something was about to awaken.
Kumaen's eyes sharpened. His many years guarding the Gojo clan let him sense the unusual movement within Riko's Star Plasma instantly.
"Satoshi," Kumaen said in a low voice. "This wave..."
Satoshi nodded slightly, and Sakanade gave a faint resonance. "The power of the Star Plasma is seeking a new balance. Patriarch, do not worry. This is the effect of Sakanade."
Shunichi's gaze was keen. As a master of swordsmanship, he understood the importance of a Zanpakutō better than anyone.
Incredible. This Zanpakutō can actively regulate the Star Plasma. Satoshi's forging level may have surpassed the Gojo clan's recorded history.
Riko stood in place, feeling the change within her. The violent energy was gradually settling, replaced by a clarity she had never known. It was as if the fog had lifted and she could finally see the road ahead.
So the power of Star Plasma can be like this. It is no longer an uncontrollable torrent, but a force that can be guided.
"Interesting," Satoru said lazily, though his eyes were deadly serious. "It seems you not only plan to protect the Star Plasma Vessel, but also help her control her own power."
