Kinji Hakari rarely came to this white desert.
After nearly two months, a villa had been built in the white desert.
At this moment, Mahito was lying on a sofa in beachwear, watching a large screen in the villa's home theater while eating popcorn and drinking cola.
Kinji Hakari knocked on the villa's door.
A maid with rabbit ears gently opened it.
Kinji Hakari looked at the rabbit-eared maid; her face was calm, and there was no ripple in her eyes.
Even though she was indeed moving, anyone would think she was a precise life-sized doll.
Kinji Hakari praised:
"As expected of you, Mahito. This is a combination of puppet techniques and the Ten Shadows Technique, isn't it? No, there should also be Mutated Cursed Corpse technology."
"Although she's far from being as lifelike as Panda, she has her own consciousness, doesn't she?"
"Mutated Cursed Corpse is a technology that requires long-term stability to take shape. The Ten Shadows Technique is not like that."
"I just borrowed from it slightly; you can understand it as a temporary AI."
"It has to be recalculated every time it's constructed. To be honest, it's a bit of a hassle, but of course, it's also more powerful."
Mahito, eating popcorn, turned to look at Kinji Hakari and raised his hand.
"Yo, it's been a while, Kinji."
The so-called Mutated Cursed Corpse refers to cases like Panda.
Originally, a Cursed Corpse should be a mindless Shikigami no different from a puppet.
However, Panda's master, Yaga Masamichi, used a special technique to turn the Cursed Corpse Panda into a true life form.
Panda has a self, a Soul, and can even extract Cursed Energy through the Cursed Corpse.
The Jujutsu Higher-Ups once strongly wished for Yaga Masamichi to hand over this technology, but Yaga Masamichi clearly knew that if he did so, it would only cause greater destruction.
Once the Jujutsu Higher-Ups truly possessed this technology, they would surely put it into broader oppression.
Yaga Masamichi refused, and because of this refusal, he was also liquidated after Gojo Satoru's death.
And now, even without going through Yaga Masamichi, Mahito could analyze everything about Panda through Panda's battles and resurrections in the Dream Walk Migration.
The technology of the Mutated Cursed Corpse had already fallen into his hands, and Mahito unceremoniously used this Cursed Corpse technology to properly cultivate his various Shikigami, including those of the Ten Shadows Technique.
Kinji Hakari came forward and looked at the large screen of the home theater, which showed Dagon's battle.
Dagon is the manifestation of humanity's curse toward the ocean, a Special Grade Cursed Spirit that transcends common sense.
Now, he was also demonstrating his strength, infinitely summoning floods from the sky to blast downward, just like a low-flying bomber.
In the original work, the reason Dagon had to use Domain Expansion to decide the outcome was because the environment at the time was an underground station with limited height.
He himself isn't actually a true melee Cursed Spirit; he is more threatening when using water jets from a distance.
But now it's different.
The environment is a vast open area, and he flies recklessly into the sky, making full use of the advantages of a flying creature and causing the challengers unspeakable suffering.
Kinji Hakari watched for a while and smiled.
"It's over. Dagon will be sent into reincarnation by your little spy in a moment."
From the scene, Dagon, who was bombing at will, indeed had the upper hand.
After all, none of the challengers could fly.
Even if Inumaki Toge used the Cursed Speech Technique to give everyone the ability to fly, it wouldn't last long, and others could only jump up to fight.
Attacking from high ground to low ground is like this—nearly unsolvable.
Nearly.
Mahito sighed.
"Dagon's experience is still too little."
"I clearly gave him the list of all the people worth noting and told him how to fight, but he still fell into a trap unknowingly..."
"No, it should be said that it's precisely because I stuffed him with guides that he appears so rigid."
Mahito gave Jogo, Hanami, and Dagon the best ways to fight.
For Jogo, in short, it's blast, blast, and blast.
Jogo has the highest firepower output among the Three Great Calamities, so he only needs to mindlessly stack output.
No matter what the opponent's Cursed Technique is, it's impossible to survive in extreme heat.
Of course, except for those at Gojo Satoru's level.
But how many Grade 1 Jujutsu Sorcerers are at Gojo Satoru's level in this world?
In the original work, when Jogo met Ryomen Sukuna after his death, Ryomen Sukuna's advice to him was the same as Mahito's now.
In short, when encountering enemies, don't think about messy things—just burn.
Burn everything, burn through all of creation.
Jogo's path should be like this.
Hanami is a very special spirit.
Even Gojo Satoru would find it hard to discover her if she wanted to hide.
So the most suitable role for her is actually an assassin.
As long as she hides to the side and releases various plant growth abilities remotely, unless the opponent has wide-area destructive power, it's impossible to beat her no matter what.
In the original work, Hanami used herself as a meat shield because of her excellent defense, but in fact, this was a mistake.
In this world, except for a very few Jujutsu Sorcerers, all Cursed Energy creatures are glass cannons.
Hanami's defense is only excellent at this rank.
Once she encounters a truly strong attacker, she will also be killed in one hit.
She died because of this in the original work, so Mahito naturally wouldn't let her make this mistake again.
With a stealth talent, just be an assassin honestly.
That's what she should do.
Finally, there was Dagon.
He is the only Cursed Spirit among the Three Great Calamities with passive flight ability, and his firepower is also very high.
His water manipulation ability is also versatile.
In the original work, he was also evaluated as:
[Megumi's Max Elephant is completely incomparable to him.]
He also has the ability to create and manipulate aquatic Shikigami.
Since that's the case, he should utilize the advantages a flying Cursed Spirit should have.
In short—don't land.
Just keep attacking from high to low, bullying the opponent's inability to fly.
When facing Jujutsu Sorcerers who can fly, he should utilize his high firepower advantage, fighting while flying with high firepower and using his own ample Cursed Energy to wear down the opponent.
The wider the terrain, the more he can utilize his huge advantage.
This is the tactic Mahito prepared for him, and what is currently displayed on the big screen is exactly this tactic.
The challengers were beaten into a sorry state and fled in panic.
Dagon also kept Mahito's reminder in mind, being especially wary of Nanami Kento, who could land a miraculous hit with the combination of Ratio Technique and Black Flash.
As long as Nanami Kento dared to rush into the sky, he would dare to fly another fifty meters higher.
Let alone fifty meters from the ground—even from two hundred meters, the attack power of the massive torrents wouldn't decrease.
Dagon maintained absolute caution, preferring to fly higher and use wide-area torrents to attack rather than getting close to Nanami Kento and being counter-killed.
Dagon's caution indeed pushed the challengers into a desperate situation.
Not.
Kinji Hakari stroked his chin and smiled.
"Still too little combat experience."
"He only focused on guarding against Nanami's Ratio Technique but forgot about Miyuki's poison Cursed Technique."
"I don't know if Miyuki has been rated as a Special Grade by the Jujutsu world now, but the ability to release invisible poison over an ultra-wide area has been trained."
"The invisible and odorless poison has presumably been silently inhaled by Dagon, yet Dagon is still completely unaware."
Dagon on the scene probably couldn't detect it, but actually, from God's perspective, Dagon's stamina and Cursed Energy were being consumed at an accelerated rate.
Unknowingly, Dagon's Cursed Energy control was also declining.
The silence of the poison was played to its essence by Miyuki.
Unlike the original work, the young Yoshino Junpei, who hadn't gender-swapped into Miyuki, chose to fight fairly after gaining a poison Cursed Technique.
He happened to encounter Itadori Yuji, who was his natural counter, and was naturally dealt with, almost being purified before being distorted by Mahito.
The current Miyuki is not like that.
Probably due to special training from professional Jujutsu Sorcerers, she carefully hid her Cursed Technique.
Although Dagon knew Miyuki's technique was poison-based, because most of his attention was on Nanami Kento, he didn't give it enough importance and eventually fell for it.
For poison, as long as one falls for it, the outcome can already be declared.
Mahito sighed.
"I can predict the following development."
"After the poison Cursed Technique erupts, Dagon will cough up a mouthful of blood if he's not careful."
"Then the Cursed Speech Technique will immediately collect this blood."
"Dagon will want to stop it but won't be able to because of the poisoning."
"Then this blood will be put into a straw doll by Kugisaki Nobara, using Resonance to continuously attack the Soul, forcing Dagon to choose a more aggressive attack method."
"In the end, during the struggle with Panda, he will fall as the curtain drops under Nanami's Black Flash enhanced by Ratio Technique: Collapse."
Kinji Hakari smiled.
"I predict the same."
"People from Tokyo Jujutsu High, influenced by Teacher Gojo, are very good at cooperative combat."
"Because if they didn't do that, they would have been beaten by Teacher Gojo's merciless fists until they doubted their lives."
"This kind of combat with a group of people against one person is precisely their professional field."
(T/N: This is truly our Jump Kaisen!!!)
Usually, Jujutsu Sorcerers rarely cooperate because of their strong personalities.
But because Gojo Satoru often plays the "I'll take on ten" trick, anyone who graduates from Tokyo Jujutsu High knows how to gang up on someone.
In the original work, Ryomen Sukuna also suffered greatly from this.
Mahito casually changed the channel, and this time Itadori Yuji appeared on the big screen.
And the person he was facing was—
Ryomen Sukuna.
These two fated enemies faced each other now, looking like they could start fighting at any moment.
Nearly two months had passed, and Ryomen Sukuna had already completed his entire Soul and was now actively collecting other fingers.
Itadori Yuji was the same.
Because of the Dream Walk Migration, Itadori Yuji's body, which was originally evaluated in the original work as having the same potential as Ryomen Sukuna, didn't even need Mahito to make special adjustments when he redeemed the accelerated growth talent.
Mahito only needed to copy Ryomen Sukuna's Soul and physical information for him, and it was perfectly compatible.
This made Itadori Yuji's growth extremely rapid, so much so that he showed no fear even when facing Ryomen Sukuna alone now.
Whether it was Ryomen Sukuna or Itadori Yuji, the power of the fingers could strengthen them equally.
Therefore, they were the most active in collecting fingers.
Now, with about ten days left before the first season of Dream Walk Migration ends, the two would definitely settle the outcome here.
Mahito smiled.
"Although I'm also interested in the final outcome of the Second Tokyo Barrier and the Sendai Barrier, as expected, the battle between the Vessel and the Occupant is more dramatic."
"Who do you think will win?"
"Without a doubt, it's Sukuna."
Kinji Hakari said with interest:
"Even if both sides' potential is the same, Sukuna's combat experience and Jujutsu knowledge are richer."
"Theoretically, Sukuna's win rate should be higher..."
"However, considering the characteristics of a Jujutsu Sorcerer, Itadori Yuji also has the possibility of victory."
"Yeah, you're right."
"Compared to the suspense-less comparisons in other barriers, this match is indeed more worth watching."
The so-called Jujutsu Sorcerer characteristic is that they will unconsciously use Black Flash when emotions are high.
Itadori Yuji is especially so.
This original protagonist was designated as the [One Blessed by Black Flash].
As long as Itadori Yuji wants to, he can immediately use Black Flash in various ways.
Under a killing move like Black Flash, even Ryomen Sukuna has the possibility of failing.
This is the drama Mahito and Kinji Hakari spoke of.
Kinji Hakari looked forward to the moment Itadori Yuji truly won.
Even though he knew it was difficult, difficult doesn't mean impossible, right?
Once the gambling nature in Kinji Hakari's bones flared up, it couldn't be stopped.
His heart surged with excitement, hoping to see the high and mighty Sukuna crushed by his Vessel and showing a frustrated face.
"Mahito, the Americans over there can't wait anymore."
Kinji Hakari said casually while watching the upcoming battle.
"In these two months, Tengen has already established the American Great Barrier."
"They hope you will bring Dream Walk Migration to them."
This was the reason Kinji Hakari suddenly came over.
Kinji Hakari was responsible for diplomacy.
Normally, Kinji Hakari could handle it himself, but not this time, so he took the initiative to come over.
"Tengen's craftsmanship is quite good, to be able to complete the American Great Barrier in such a short time?"
Mahito smiled.
"It seems her experience in maintaining the Great Japanese Barrier for over a thousand years was well brought to America."
"By the way, the Americans didn't mess with Tengen, did they?"
The current Tengen had her form changed by Mahito using Idle Transfiguration, restoring her state after merging with the Star Plasma Vessel, which is the form of a human female.
In this way, she at least doesn't look like a monster.
Considering her identity as someone who has lived for a thousand years, she could even be considered divine.
But Americans...
They would even release viruses directly into civilian gathering areas for experiments.
Whether something is divine or not is irrelevant to them.
Perhaps they were still rational before Tengen finished setting up the American Great Barrier, but now that it's finished, some dark hand would surely reach out to Tengen.
Kinji Hakari sneered.
"Yuki Tsukumo is guarding Tengen twenty-four hours a day."
"Even if they want to do something, they can't."
Mahito nodded.
"True."
After a pause, he smiled.
"Tell them the second Dream Walk Migration will be held there, but not now."
Kinji Hakari wasn't surprised at all.
"I understand. I'll go now—"
Before Kinji Hakari could finish, Ryomen Sukuna on the screen suddenly moved.
The moment he raised his hand, a slash had already spread before Itadori Yuji's eyes.
Itadori Yuji didn't panic and countered with the same slash.
The slashes of both sides collided in the air, making a sharp, piercing sound.
Kinji Hakari whistled.
"Wait, let me finish watching this match before I leave!"
"I didn't expect this guy Itadori could actually grow enough to react to Sukuna's Cursed Technique in just two months!"
