While Hanami's physical abilities were far inferior to those granted by Heavenly Restriction, its defensive power was exceptionally outstanding.
Gege Akutami once personally stated that if Jogo were struck by a Black Flash, he would suffer severe injuries. However, Hanami's defense was so extraordinary that even after taking multiple Black Flashes, it still managed to retreat.
This referred to Hanami's battle against Itadori Yuji and Todo Aoi during the Kyoto Goodwill Event. At that time, Hanami endured the combined Black Flash assault from Yuji and Todo and still survived.
From this perspective, Hanami's Cursed Technique and Heavenly Restriction would be a perfect combination.
However, that should have been impossible.
Even if someone with Heavenly Restriction possessed an Innate Technique, the complete absence of Cursed Energy within their body should make it impossible to activate or release it.
—But this was the Dream Walk Migration, and Toji Fushiguro stood at the very core of Mahito's faction.
(T/N: That doesn't make any fucking sense. It's lke a car driving without any fuel.)
Mahoraga stood directly in front of him, yet Toji Fushiguro merely smiled and muttered:
"Let me think."
"I feel like... it should work like this."
—Technique Release.
—Forest's Grace.
Boom! Boom boom boom boom!
Massive roots suddenly burst from the ground and wrapped around Mahoraga like giant pythons.
Mahoraga tore them apart in the next instant.
But the roots were endless and continued to bind it.
Mahoraga let out a sharp roar, continuously destroying them, but eventually the endless roots completely enveloped its body.
Then, while Mahoraga was still struggling—
Flowers suddenly bloomed on the roots.
These were the same flowers that had even affected Gojo Satoru in the original work.
They possessed no offensive power, but they could eliminate hostility.
The same applied to shikigami.
In the distance, Fushiguro Megumi, who was riding Nue, underwent a drastic change in expression.
Finally—
Sharp branches suddenly grew from the flowers.
"Mahoraga... it needs a sure-kill strike, right?" Toji Fushiguro smiled.
In the next instant, Mahoraga was pierced by countless sharp branches.
Only at this moment did Toji Fushiguro's Cursed Energy finally erupt. A massive amount of Cursed Energy quietly burned around his body. From afar, he looked like a man engulfed in flames.
He pointed at Fushiguro Megumi.
"Come, round two."
….
The battle no longer held any suspense.
Even if Fushiguro Megumi summoned Mahoraga again, it would be useless.
Mahoraga required time to adapt, and against a true sure-kill technique, it would never have the opportunity to do so.
Fushiguro Megumi will lose.
That was Tsumiki Fushiguro's conclusion.
She turned her gaze away.
The calico cat in her arms suddenly jumped down and let out a soft meow.
Tsumiki Fushiguro formed hand signs and softly spoke:
"—Technique Release."
—Probability Alteration.
Probability Alteration was Kinji Hakari's Innate Technique.
Within his Domain Expansion, it allowed him to achieve the highest probability of hitting the jackpot, thereby granting him infinite Cursed Energy.
But that was the result of combining Probability Alteration with Kinji Hakari's Domain Expansion.
What would happen if Probability Alteration were used by itself?
The world contained infinite possibilities, and the birth of Innate Techniques was among them.
In the original work, the inherited techniques of the Zenin and Gojo clans demonstrated this principle.
The Zenin Clan's treasured technique was the Ten Shadows Technique, yet even pure-blooded Zenins rarely gave birth to users of that technique.
Gojo Satoru was similar.
Sometimes the Six Eyes appeared without Limitless.
Sometimes Limitless appeared without the Six Eyes.
As a result, both clans constantly suffered interruptions in their inherited techniques.
Can you imagine?
The clan famous for inheriting the Ten Shadows Technique once produced a clan head whose technique was the completely unrelated Projection Sorcery.
In the original work, when Zen'in Naoya discussed brothers with Choso, he arrogantly proclaimed himself special because his brothers had failed to inherit Projection Sorcery.
From this alone, it was clear that even direct blood relatives rarely inherited their parents' techniques.
That was the nature of the Cursed Energy world.
No matter how much research was conducted, randomness always outweighed stability.
Kenjaku himself once stated that the appearance of Cursed Spirit Manipulation in this era was one of the primary reasons he launched his final plan.
But which great family had produced Geto Suguru?
None.
Geto Suguru's parents were ordinary civilians.
This was the randomness of the Jujutsu world.
It was also why Gojo Satoru once told Itadori Yuji that talent accounted for eighty percent of a sorcerer's potential, while effort only occupied twenty percent.
But Probability Alteration changed everything.
Kinji Hakari once stated that his technique could guarantee success within thirty attempts in any form of gambling.
In other words, as long as a possibility existed, Probability Alteration could force it into reality.
The only question was how much time it would take.
Why could Kinji Hakari obtain infinite Cursed Energy through his Domain?
Because infinite Cursed Energy was genuinely possible.
His Domain Expansion provided the maximum environment for that possibility, and Probability Alteration turned it into reality.
Kinji Hakari only possessed Probability Alteration, so his thinking remained limited to Cursed Energy.
As a standalone technique, Infinite Cursed Energy was already the most cost-effective jackpot available.
But that limitation only existed when one possessed a single Innate Technique.
What if it were paired with other techniques?
Convert randomness into certainty.
Collapse all possibilities into one outcome.
After activating Probability Alteration, Tsumiki Fushiguro formed hand signs once more.
Before doing so, she had already established strict Binding Vows:
The armor to be created next cannot appear outside the Dream Walk Migration.
The armor to be created next cannot exist for longer than ten minutes.
The armor to be created next will suffer fantasy-level weakening and retain only its core functions.
The armor to be created next cannot use any weapon systems.
The armor to be created next will consume all of the user's Cursed Energy.
The armor to be created next—
Can only manifest while fighting Ryomen Sukuna.
"—Technique Release."
—Construction Technique:
"[Rider of Heaven]!"
Click.
A massive green-and-white clock appeared behind Tsumiki Fushiguro.
She spread her arms.
As the green clock hands moved, the Cursed Energy pulsed with every tick.
The Cursed Energy inside Tsumiki Fushiguro disappeared in an instant.
Everything was evaporated.
In its place descended something entirely different from Cursed Energy.
Dong.
Dong.
Dong.
The clock reached twelve o'clock.
Suddenly, the sound of a giant bell echoed.
A strange wave surged from afar.
In the distant sky, primitive program codes flickered in and out of existence.
Responding to those mysterious codes, a belt had somehow fastened itself around Tsumiki Fushiguro's waist.
A Gashat appeared in her hands.
"Now is the time of judgment."
Kamen Rider Chronicle.
Along with the tolling bells, the Gashat flew into the belt slot.
BUGGLE UP!
The giant clock opened, revealing an unknown space behind it.
All the sacrificed Cursed Energy was swallowed by that space.
Then, the energy released from within poured onto Tsumiki Fushiguro's body.
Finally—
Rider of Heaven, inscribing the chronicle.
Now is the ultimate moment!
All the energy erupted.
Every Jujutsu Sorcerer inside the barrier felt a sudden palpitation.
Golden waves radiated from Tsumiki Fushiguro's body.
A suit of armor now covered her.
Her wind-blown hair was secured beneath the helmet.
The visor depicted cold eyes and an expressionless face.
Armor covered every inch of her body, and a long skirt-like tail extended over her calves.
At the moment the energy erupted, a golden clock briefly appeared behind her before disappearing.
Kamen Rider Chronicle.
Fantasy embedded into reality.
This was Probability Alteration combined with the Construction Technique.
The ultimate armor created by the strongest Construction Sorcerer in a thousand years.
The final answer to the Construction Technique:
[Kamen Rider · Rider of Heaven].
The Rider of Heaven lowered her body slightly.
Then—
Bang!
Half of the skyscraper behind her exploded from the recoil.
Glass, steel, and concrete shattered together.
A massive shockwave spread in every direction.
But something flew even faster than the shockwave itself.
The green rider.
The Rider of Heaven leaped into the sky, accompanied by storms, slaughter, and overwhelming majesty.
Crossing a thousand meters in an instant, she arrived at the battlefield.
Thump!
Ryomen Sukuna instinctively looked up.
From his perspective, a meteor composed of unknown energy was descending at high speed.
Circular sonic booms trailed behind it.
Because it wasn't Cursed Energy, Sukuna's perception was completely useless.
He only knew one thing.
The energy was so enormous that even his body trembled slightly.
This trembling was not fear.
It was excitement.
Something beyond his knowledge had appeared before him.
Not even Gojo Satoru, nor the King of Curses himself, had ever aroused such curiosity and sadistic desire within him.
The feeling was identical to what he experienced when facing Maki Zen'in in the original work.
For perhaps the first time, Ryomen Sukuna felt:
"I must personally prove this."
Back then, he wished to prove whether the body or Cursed Energy stood above the other.
Now, he wanted to prove whether this mysterious power—born from Cursed Energy yet distinct from it—was superior.
