Chu Yang smiled, mimicking Satoru Gojo, sitting on the steps and stretching.
"Was it just you fighting Geto Suguru in this battle?"
Satoru Gojo stood far away, his back to Chu Yang.
When he asked that question, no one could see his surprised expression.
"Are you asking if Okkotsu Yuta made a move? Unfortunately, he didn't make it in time."
Chu Yang shook his head.
Satoru Gojo suddenly turned to stare at Chu Yang. Special Grade was already the pinnacle of the Jujutsu world, and Geto Suguru was an even stronger Special Grade. Throughout Jujutsu High, besides himself, he couldn't find a second person who could consistently defeat him.
"Your Grade 1 assessment hasn't even been announced yet, and now it has to be re-evaluated. You really know how to cause trouble for the higher-ups."
Satoru Gojo grinned, teasing Chu Yang.
"Actually, I'd really like to see what expressions those higher-ups would have if Geto Suguru had taken Rika Orimoto. For them, that would be the real big trouble…"
Chu Yang's tone was chilling.
"Oh, little Yangyang~~~ Your idea is very dangerous, you know, that won't do, Yuta would die."
Satoru Gojo continued to laugh to himself.
But the atmosphere between the two gradually became eerie with Chu Yang's single sentence.
"Although I also really dislike those rotten old men…"
Before the atmosphere became even more rigid, Satoru Gojo added the previous sentence in a joking tone.
"Didn't you rush here for Okkotsu Yuta? You should quickly deal with Geto Suguru's remains and go see him."
Chu Yang calculated the time and casually reminded Satoru Gojo.
Satoru Gojo walked straight into Jujutsu High, waving his hand with his back to Chu Yang: "Help me bury him in a place with a good view, that way when I go see him next time, I'll be in a better mood."
Chu Yang had already guessed he would react this way. After Satoru Gojo left, he directly took away the fake Geto Suguru's corpse.
Satoru Gojo walked a distance towards the classroom. There were ruins everywhere, making it easy to imagine how fierce the battle had just been.
Okkotsu Yuta saw Satoru Gojo's figure from afar and quickly called out:
"Gojo-sensei!"
Several people gathered around, vividly describing the battle that had just occurred.
"When that guy named Geto Suguru came, I almost thought something big was going to happen."
"I didn't expect Yang Senior to eliminate thousands of Curse Spirits with just one strike, it's just that in the end, his method of killing Geto Suguru was a bit cruel…"
Satoru Gojo silently listened to the four excitedly recount the battle.
Amidst their chatter, he gained a clearer picture of the two's fight.
"He actually won so easily, it feels like his potential is even greater than Yuta's. If this continues, he won't really become a 'Heavenly Restriction' with Jujutsu, will he?"
Satoru Gojo suddenly recalled the life-and-death battle with Toji Fushiguro during his student days. If he had been a little less lucky, he truly could have died at his opponent's hands.
The thought of Chu Yang growing to that extent, even becoming stronger, made Satoru Gojo's heart stir.
Amidst his Feelings, Satoru Gojo vaguely felt something was off. Although they hadn't spent much time together, he didn't believe Chu Yang was the type of person to torture and kill opponents.
"Yuta, come with me for a moment."
Satoru Gojo returned Yuta's lost student ID to him, then began to talk about Rika Orimoto's curse.
...
To make the illusion of his own death more convincing, Geto Suguru voluntarily severed his connection with other Curse Spirits, making those Curse Spirits in Kyoto and Shinjuku appear more like unowned natural Curse Spirits.
At the same time, the Curse Spirits in both locations stopped their aimless attacks, and some Curse Spirits already showed signs of leaving.
Seeing this, Yaga Masamichi understood that Geto Suguru, as their master, had encountered a problem.
Half an hour later, the last Curse Spirit was exorcised on the streets of Shinjuku, signaling the failure of the Night Parade of a Hundred Demons.
The members of Geto's group disappeared in the chaos, escaping the pursuit of the Jujutsu Sorcerers.
Nanako and Mimiko, Geto Suguru's adopted daughters, were also among them. They returned to the main base dispirited.
The two knew that the Curse Spirits losing control could only mean one thing: something had happened to Geto Suguru.
"Why the long faces? I'm not dead."
Geto Suguru said with a smile, looking at the two.
Nanako and Mimiko suddenly looked up, staring in disbelief at the perfectly fine Geto Suguru, and rushed over simultaneously.
"Why did you release the Curse Spirits? We really thought you were dead!"
The two, who had always revered Geto Suguru, uncharacteristically erupted in great anger.
"All in all, the plan failed. I couldn't seize Rika Orimoto, and I almost died. No, to be precise, I'm already a dead man."
Geto Suguru scratched his head, awkwardly explaining what he had experienced at Jujutsu High.
Upon hearing that he had been easily defeated, everyone thought Satoru Gojo had arrived in time, but then they reconsidered… Satoru Gojo would never propose an alliance or cooperation to Geto Suguru.
Everyone found it difficult to accept such a fact for a moment.
In their eyes, no one could defeat Geto Suguru, and he was defeated by someone other than Satoru Gojo.
Especially Mimiko and Nanako, both were indignant. They could not accept anyone other than Geto Suguru leading the group.
Seeing this, Geto Suguru placed his hands on the two girls' heads, stroking their hair, and warned: "Don't even think about anything else. That guy looks normal on the surface, but he's actually a lunatic. If things go wrong, everyone could die, including me…"
Thinking of Chu Yang's ideal, which was even more insane than his own, Geto Suguru got goosebumps all over his body. Someone actually wanted to redefine the order of the Jujutsu world…
Truly… a complete lunatic!
"That evaluation of 'lunatic' is quite objective. I'll take it as a compliment." Chu Yang suddenly appeared in Geto's group's main base. No one saw how he appeared, as if he had traveled through time.
Everyone faced him as if facing a great enemy, staring at Chu Yang, each displaying their Cursed Techniques. The atmosphere was tense!
"Stop!"
Geto Suguru roared, sweeping his companions with a sharp gaze.
Only then did they retract their respective Cursed Techniques.
"I don't mind using force to gain your temporary submission. To avoid trouble, you can choose to challenge me together."
Chu Yang revealed a benevolent smile, speaking unhurriedly, giving people a feeling of being bathed in a spring breeze.
Some people in Geto's group had flickering eyes, clearly having moved their thoughts.
They thought, if one person couldn't win, could a group of people still not win?
The smile on Chu Yang's lips grew deeper. He was already planning to kill a chicken to scare the monkeys, he just didn't know who would be the first to step forward.
Similarly, the performance of these people did not escape Geto Suguru's eyes. His angry, low voice then sounded, "I'll say it again, don't seek death!"
Seeing Geto Suguru on the verge of rage, everyone's spirits tightened, and those who had shown their claws also became docile again.
Chu Yang shook his head with regret.
Seeing this, Geto Suguru was almost certain that Chu Yang had just been planning to kill, and a chill suddenly ran down his spine.
Geto Suguru quickly changed the subject, looking at Chu Yang with feigned curiosity, "Is your Cursed Technique spatial teleportation?"
Chu Yang smiled: "No, this is just a small trick. My Innate Technique hasn't awakened yet."
Normally, people with Cursed Energy would gradually awaken in childhood, but Chu Yang was different. Before the Soul Palace appeared, he was a truly ordinary person.
So, calculated by the time he had Cursed Energy, he was equivalent to a newborn baby a few months old.
Even with talent sharing, it would take a few more months for his Innate Technique to awaken.
"It hasn't awakened yet?"
More than why Chu Yang could find him so precisely, the fact that his Innate Technique hadn't awakened shocked Geto Suguru even more.
He trembled slightly, gradually realizing the seriousness of the matter.
It turned out that Chu Yang's previous one-shot destruction of thousands of Curse Spirits was not his Cursed Technique.
If it wasn't a Cursed Technique, then what kind of power was it?
Only at this moment did Geto Suguru truly have the idea of submitting to the person before him.
He wasn't worried that Chu Yang would deceive him.
Because such a powerful person would disdain to disguise himself with lies.
Although he was very curious about that destructive power, Geto Suguru did not continue to press, but changed the topic, introducing Chu Yang to Geto's group, a very large organization.
The high-ranking members of Geto's group were Curse Users who agreed with Geto Suguru's ideals and gathered together.
The ordinary members were formerly followers of the Star Religion.
The so-called Star Religion was a group of ordinary people who fanatically worshipped the Jujutsu Sorcerer Tengen. Tengen's origin was very mysterious; he was an extremely ancient Jujutsu Sorcerer with an "immortality" Innate Technique. Whenever his body aged to a certain extent, the Cursed Technique would modify his physical body, forcing him to evolve and become a higher existence.
Tengen worried that after excessive evolution, he might pose a threat to humanity, so every five hundred years, he would choose a person with a special constitution to assimilate with him, "refreshing" the aging of his body and interrupting the Cursed Technique's progression.
People with special constitutions all shared a unified name—Star Plasma Vessels.
The ones responsible for protecting the previous Star Plasma Vessel, Riko Amanai, to go to the Tombs of the Star and assimilate with Tengen were precisely Geto Suguru and Satoru Gojo.
The mission failed.
Riko Amanai was killed halfway through by someone.
The one who killed her was Toji Fushiguro, known as the "Heavenly Restriction."
The Star Religion felt that assimilation with a Star Plasma Vessel was a blasphemy to Tengen, so they spent a large sum of money to hire Toji Fushiguro, who specialized in hunting Jujutsu Sorcerers, to stop the operation.
Satoru Gojo almost died at his opponent's hands, luckily comprehending the Reverse Cursed Technique at the last moment and healing his fatal injuries.
Even so, it could not save Riko Amanai's life.
The followers of the Star Religion celebrated Riko Amanai's death wildly in front of Geto Suguru and Satoru Gojo. This was also the first time Geto Suguru felt disappointed in humanity.
Satoru Gojo even wanted to kill all these people, but was eventually stopped by Geto Suguru.
Satoru Gojo probably never imagined that Geto Suguru, who once stopped him from a massacre, would, years later, kill hundreds of people in a fit of rage.
All in all, the Star Religion thus became enemies with Geto Suguru. The moment the latter turned dark, he found the main base of this group of people.
