An output exceeding the body's physical limits results in disability, and the current Gojo Satoru is using his continuous positive energy regeneration to counter the Dragon God's unimaginable physical capabilities! Even without the boost from Star Rage, the Dragon God's physical performance remains like a falling meteor, and Gojo Satoru has already uncovered the secret behind this.
Positive and negative energy conversion!
Gojo Satoru's Six Eyes saw the circulation inside the Dragon God armor.
Within Buddha's Sound Purifying World, no force is allowed to exist. Even those within it cannot generate negative emotions due to their peaceful state of mind. Because of this, they cannot even refine Cursed Energy through negative emotions.
Ryomen Sukuna was thus unable to use any techniques at all, and in the end, he had to rely on Mahoraga's adaptability to barely summon Mahoraga for a two-on-one fight.
In essence, even Mahoraga could only be summoned and could not adapt.
The Dragon God must possess an ability similar to Mahoraga's, having already adapted to Buddha's Sound Purifying World. Although he cannot use Cursed Techniques, he can achieve a circulation like Mahoraga's.
Mahoraga's physical performance is already outrageous, making it a combat force simply by being summoned. The Dragon God's physical performance far surpasses Mahoraga's.
The result of the Dragon God adapting to Buddha's Sound Purifying World was now unfolding before Gojo Satoru's eyes.
The Dragon God did not use complex tactics. He simply used power to create the purest violence.
With just one strike, he could easily trigger explosions over twenty meters high.
With only a little effort, giant pillars of white sand over a hundred meters tall would erupt.
Gojo Satoru was forced to continuously use Reverse Cursed Technique to preserve his life.
This all-encompassing use of Reverse Cursed Technique consumed far more than targeted healing.
This level of destructive power caused the consumption of his Reverse Cursed Technique to exceed all imagination.
As Mahito had said, if this continued, Gojo Satoru would die.
Gojo Satoru himself understood this perfectly.
The moment the positive energy stored within his body was exhausted, he would surely die.
Therefore, victory or defeat would be decided in that single instant.
Both sides attacked each other frantically.
Gojo Satoru felt the hot blood within his heart ignite completely.
Never before had he been so fanatical, as though he had been swallowed by the ultimate abyss.
He burst into roaring laughter, though it was buried beneath the ceaseless collisions of offense and defense.
The Dragon God also laughed loudly.
By this point, the Dragon God had completely analyzed Ryomen Sukuna's body.
It was no exaggeration to say that the Dragon God's physical performance—
—had already surpassed imagination.
Relying purely on physical strength, he could casually destroy cities, move like a meteor, and strike with the violence of a falling meteorite.
Yet even against such physical performance...
Gojo Satoru still kept up.
Moving with speed and power exceeding human limits by a thousand times—
This was the method from the manga Is This a Zombie?
Now, Gojo Satoru was fighting using the techniques of a manga character.
He moved at supersonic speed.
Every movement shattered his muscles and bones.
The next instant, they regenerated.
Such was the offensive and defensive capability granted by remaining in a constant state of disability.
Within this process, the circulation of positive energy strengthened his physical attributes at an astonishing rate.
Unlike Mahito, he wasn't borrowing someone else's template.
He was refining his own physical performance in the midst of battle.
Optimizing himself to the absolute limit.
An immortal body with infinite Cursed Energy, if given to Kinji Hakari, would merely turn him into an indestructible meat shield.
But when given to Gojo Satoru, together with the Six Eyes...
...it could transform him into a true superhuman.
He could precisely control every cell in his body.
He could observe the movement of cell nuclei with the naked eye.
He could perfectly utilize the limits of the human body...
...and effortlessly surpass them.
Whenever physical damage occurred, he regenerated through atomic-level recovery.
Gojo Satoru had never truly stepped into the transcendent realm of positive energy enhancement.
But now...
...he was being forced to evolve.
Before the positive energy stored within his body was exhausted, he began modifying his own genes with his fanatical will, seeking a path to survival through the evolution of his own genetic code.
His physical performance was approaching that of a Heavenly Restriction at an astonishing speed.
Right here.
Right now.
If the Dragon God relied upon the templates of Toji Fushiguro, Kinji Hakari, and Ryomen Sukuna, using Idle Transfiguration to remodel himself into a body possessing the greatest physical performance in the world...
...then Gojo Satoru was relying upon his own will and the atomic-level precision of the Six Eyes to begin adjusting and strengthening his own genes.
Both sides were evolving at extraordinary speed.
Mirokuji Kirigiri and Six Degrees East Crossing clashed continuously.
Although both wielded weapons in close combat, every collision exploded like an entire bomber fleet dropping bombs across the battlefield.
The endless thunderous explosions were like continuous peals of thunder, deafening everyone.
The movement speed of both had long since surpassed the speed of sound.
The afterimages produced by their extreme speed became one phantom after another.
No one could observe this battle with the naked eye.
Their speed had already surpassed common sense and entered the realm of divine speed.
No human retina could capture their movements.
If Gojo Satoru could continue evolving...
...he might truly achieve complete positive energy circulation, evolving genuine organs capable of storing positive energy just as ordinary organs store negative energy.
But there are no "ifs."
Even for Gojo Satoru...
...his positive energy would eventually run dry.
The Dragon God's fighting spirit had reached an unprecedented peak.
If he weren't within Buddha's Sound Purifying World, he would already have been capable of using Black Flash directly.
The reason his emotions had become so elevated...
...was Gojo Satoru's current condition.
Gojo Satoru's positive energy had already been exhausted.
The decisive moment had arrived.
Both Gojo Satoru and the Dragon God possessed the Six Eyes.
Before the Six Eyes, no secret concerning Cursed Energy could remain hidden.
Whether Gojo Satoru had exhausted his positive energy was perfectly clear to both sides.
Although the Six Degrees East Crossing in Gojo Satoru's hand could continue functioning even after his positive energy had been depleted, thereby preventing the Dragon God from using other techniques...
...without the enhancement of positive energy, a casual strike from the Dragon God would easily kill him.
At this moment...
Gojo Satoru had to deactivate Buddha's Sound Purifying World and rely upon his own Cursed Energy to survive.
The time is now!
A seal silently appeared on Gojo Satoru's body.
On the blade of Mirokuji Kirigiri, a trace of Black Flash suddenly ignited.
Buddha's Sound Purifying World was deactivated.
Naturally, the Dragon God immediately unleashed Black Flash.
That Black Flash merged with the blade of Mirokuji Kirigiri.
Two different Black Flashes fused into one.
This was the unique Fusion Black Flash.
This was the world's one and only—
Divine Sword: Mukū Kūshiki.
The Dragon God gently swung Mirokuji Kirigiri.
Black radiance floated along the blade.
A ring of distorted space-time dragged a trail of flames as the sword moved, as though a black curtain had descended over all creation.
Within that darkness...
...the god-slaying sword descended.
This sword transcended time itself, silent as the deepest night.
With absolute attack power, it pierced through the distortion of space-time.
Ryomen Sukuna required Technique Extension, hand signs, incantations, and—
—the complete unity of body and mind to unleash the World-Splitting Slash with its technique effect.
But for a true Great Swordmaster...
...only a single swing was necessary.
At this moment, the Dragon God fulfilled Ashiya Magon's final wish.
To surpass Ryomen Sukuna's slash...
...through pure swordsmanship.
Gojo Satoru suddenly smiled.
That smile held no madness.
It resembled the Buddha attaining enlightenment beneath the Bodhi Tree.
One of his hands had unknowingly formed a seal.
It was the Buddha's flower-pinching mudra.
A Binding Vow is the act of paying a harsh price in exchange for an otherwise impossible miracle.
And throughout the entirety of the original Jujutsu Kaisen...
...someone once proposed the harshest price imaginable.
That person's name was Kasumi Miwa.
She was an absolute weakling.
Even after paying the harshest price in the entire story...
...the result was effortlessly negated.
From that perspective...
...no matter how severe a Binding Vow is, if the user's own strength cannot support it, then it is meaningless.
But...
...what if the one using that Binding Vow were Gojo Satoru?
What would happen if Gojo Satoru used the exact same Binding Vow as Kasumi Miwa?
At this moment...
Gojo Satoru invoked the same Binding Vow as the original Kasumi Miwa.
Using the price of never again using a slash for the rest of his life...
...to unleash one final strike.
"Dismantle" Gojo Satoru said.
The Cutting Line of Mirokuji Kirigiri was erased.
The blade light born from the Fusion Black Flash was severed.
The physical blade of Mirokuji Kirigiri emitted the sound of cracking apart.
All sound in the world suddenly vanished.
The Dragon God's sword arm froze in place.
A scar silently appeared across the chest of the Dragon God armor.
It was a single slash.
The Divine Sword truly deserved to be called a sword that reached the realm of the gods.
It was the ultimate strike recorded within the Moon Scroll.
This legendary swordsmanship was truly the strongest swordsmanship in the world.
No swordsmanship could surpass the Divine Sword.
But the sword Gojo Satoru had used...
...had already surpassed the pinnacle of the world.
Ryomen Sukuna once said that the prerequisite for slaying a god is severing the Mandate of Heaven upon that god's body.
That Mandate of Heaven is—
—the innate destiny bestowed upon a deity by the heavens.
Only when a deity and a mortal stand upon the same level can a god be slain.
What Gojo Satoru had done...
...was exactly that.
The object Gojo Satoru had slashed was not the Dragon God before him, but the Binding Vow upon the Dragon God.
Just as when Gojo Satoru slashed Ryomen Sukuna, Ryomen Sukuna couldn't even resurrect. That was because the Eleven Lives Binding Vow on Ryomen Sukuna's body had been severed together with his life. Therefore, even if Ryomen Sukuna truly had remaining Lives, he could no longer resurrect.
Likewise, no matter how powerful the Binding Vows on the Dragon God armor were, and no matter how many backup plans Mahito had prepared, they had all been cut apart.
This was the genuine—
God-Slaying Sword.
Gojo Satoru smiled and gently pushed the Dragon God.
"I win, Mahito."
The Dragon God didn't move.
Gojo Satoru's smile stiffened.
In the next instant, the Dragon God's hand moved again.
The blade of Mirokuji Kirigiri lightly swept across Gojo Satoru's wrist.
Gojo Satoru's hand holding Six Degrees East Crossing fell away soundlessly, like a withered yellow leaf drifting from a branch in autumn, as natural as an immutable law of the world.
Thud.
Six Degrees East Crossing struck the ground.
"W-What... How is this possible?!"
Gojo Satoru roared.
—Reverse Cursed Technique Application: Soul Creation: Jiro Awasaka.
—Technique Release.
—Inverse.
The Dragon God burst into laughter.
"Hahaha! Your slash can indeed sever Binding Vows and cut through destiny. Had I been unprepared, I surely would have died. Satoru, you truly almost killed me.
"Almost!"
The reasoning was actually quite simple, though very few people would think of it this way.
A slash capable of cutting through Binding Vows must possess overwhelming attack power...
Wrong.
A slash that severs the world is pure offensive might.
Its power transcends the world itself, capable of cleaving through the very heavens.
It possesses unmatched destructive power, with no equal before it.
But the strength of severing a Binding Vow lies in the mechanism of breaking the vow itself.
Theoretically, since even Binding Vows can be broken, there is no reason a person would survive Ryomen Sukuna's slash.
It is likely that a thousand years ago, Ryomen Sukuna used a similar method to kill Enma.
Jiro Awasaka's Inverse possesses the property that, so long as its upper limit is not exceeded, no matter how powerful an attack is, it will be neutralized.
This is—
An invincible Cursed Technique in the physical sense.
Even if the God-Slaying Sword can sever Binding Vows, Inverse is not a Binding Vow.
Inverse is a Cursed Technique engraved within the brain. It exists physically.
It is not a Binding Vow.
It is a Cursed Technique.
Therefore, the God-Slaying Sword that severs Binding Vows has no effect upon it.
All that remains is to deal with the God-Slaying Sword's pure destructive power.
Clearly...
...that attack power failed to exceed the upper limit of Inverse.
"Satoru."
The Dragon God's expression suddenly became tinged with sadness.
"It's over."
In the next instant, the Dragon God raised his leg and slammed his knee into Gojo Satoru's abdomen.
At the critical moment, Gojo Satoru activated Limitless.
This was a physical strike, not the blade of Mirokuji Kirigiri, so Limitless still functioned.
However...
Attached to the Dragon God's knee was—
Simple Domain.
Thud.
Simple Domain neutralized Limitless and allowed the knee to penetrate through it, striking Gojo Satoru squarely in the abdomen.
Gojo Satoru's eyes bulged.
The overwhelming impact was completely absorbed by his body.
His internal organs shattered.
Blood from his ruptured organs surged into his throat.
Gojo Satoru instinctively opened his mouth.
Blood mixed with fragments of internal organs sprayed outward.
Then came a punch.
—Reverse Cursed Technique Application: Soul Creation: Yuki Tsukumo.
—Technique Release.
Star Rage!
The roar of a blazing meteor descending suddenly echoed across the battlefield.
A mass weighing 300 billion tons descended.
The weight was so terrifying that, before the fist even landed, the immense pressure alone had already created a violent storm.
White sand flew wildly.
A brilliant flash erupted.
Then—
The meteor struck.
BOOM—!!
Suddenly—
A hand reached out.
It clenched into a fist.
Black lightning flickered across it.
Black Flash!
Gojo Satoru threw an uppercut from below.
His fist collided head-on with the 300-billion-ton force of Star Rage.
The two fists never actually touched.
Between them existed a layer of compressed air.
That compressed layer continuously collapsed and shattered.
Lightning-like ionized particles spread in every direction.
But the color wasn't blue-purple.
It was black.
A black that devoured every other color.
This was the manifestation of overflowing spatial distortion.
Gojo Satoru slowly straightened his body.
His clothes had long since been torn apart.
What was revealed beneath was no longer human flesh—
—but something possessing a metallic sheen.
A layer of black armor had unknowingly enveloped Gojo Satoru's body, fitting tightly against his skin.
Golden Sanskrit-like inscriptions were engraved upon the black armor.
A layer of tattered robes draped over it, making him resemble a monk from a machine civilization.
Long ago, before Tengen departed, Tengen had once asked Gojo Satoru:
"Regarding the circulation of positive and negative energy, do you have any ideas?"
Gojo Satoru had answered:
"It's a bit far-fetched... but at least it can be applied in combat."
And now...
Facing this desperate situation...
Gojo Satoru finally revealed everything he had prepared.
The circulation of positive and negative energy—
Born from imitating Mahito's Soul Creation: Dragon Spirit Body—
Allowed a human body to step onto the threshold of higher-dimensional existence.
A true stairway to divinity.
Gojo Satoru solemnly declared in the Sanskrit-like voice of a god or Buddha:
"Tokyo Metropolitan Jujutsu High School.
"Special Grade Sorcerer."
"Divine Body: Shakyamuni.
"Gojo Satoru."
"Mahito-san...
"...please witness this."
