BOOM!!!
Under Takumi's relentless assault, the Cursed Spirit of the Cult Leader crashed heavily into the ground.
Bare-chested, his perfectly defined muscles glistening in the dust and light, Takumi rolled his neck and walked toward the creature.
"I just had an interesting thought," he said, his tone almost cheerful. "What if I could steal your technique?"
With his back to Hitagi Senjougahara and Momo Ayase, Takumi's smile was bright and sunny—but in the Cursed Spirit's eyes, it was the grin of a demon straight from hell.
"Grrr—no…!"
The creature tried to crawl away, but with its three faces smashed to pulp, it couldn't even speak properly.
Takumi stepped forward and grabbed it by the throat, muttering softly, "Heal."
Instantly, the Cursed Spirit's entire body regenerated. The ocean of pain it experienced was absorbed into the [Boosted Gear], stored within the crimson gauntlet's gem.
At the same time, all knowledge of its cursed technique began to take shape inside Takumi's mind.
"Heh… hahaha!!"
"Excellent! Excellent!"
"You've truly made my day. I just proved my theory right!"
Feeling the technique imprint itself into his mind, Takumi's grin widened.
The moment the Cursed Spirit felt its body restored, it began thrashing in panic.
"Boosted!"
The gauntlet's voice echoed, and a crushing power followed.
BOOM!!!
The creature's massive form was slammed deep into the ground, spreading a web of cracks for hundreds of meters around.
"Trying to run? Fat chance."
"[Spirit Devour]!"
A swirling black hole formed in Takumi's palm, tearing the Cursed Spirit apart and consuming it entirely.
"Y-you… are also… a cur—" The monster's last words dissolved as it was swallowed whole.
Dense cursed energy coursed into Takumi's body, merging with his mana and spiritual force—his overall power surging far more than what days of training could accomplish.
[Ding! Points +5]
[Ding! Randomly Plundered Trait: Affinity (Green)]
[Affinity (Green): You naturally make others feel comfortable; people's first impression of you will never be bad.]
"…Seriously? I was hoping for something like Power of Faith, not this useless charm buff."
Rolling his eyes, Takumi glanced at the newly acquired trait, unimpressed.
Then he turned his hand over—a grotesque, severed finger rested in his palm.
[Finger of Ryomen Sukuna]
[Description: A cursed object containing immense cursed energy and a fragment of Sukuna's soul. Extremely toxic. Consuming it grants ordinary cursed spirits immense power.]
"So it really did eat one of Sukuna's fingers. No wonder it lasted more than two hits against me."
Squinting thoughtfully, Takumi decided to keep it. He had no use for it himself—but someone else might. Whether as a bargaining chip or a way to revive Sukuna for technique harvesting, it was a valuable tool.
"When I healed that thing earlier, I copied both its technique and its domain."
"If I can revive Sukuna and heal him afterward, I could take his techniques and domain too… that'd be perfect."
He chuckled. "Let's call this one the [Evil Lord Technique] and its domain [Evil Lord's Cathedral]."
After naming his new acquisitions, Takumi looked around. The surrounding apartment blocks were collapsing—casualties easily numbered in the thousands.
The injured groaned in pain, their suffering attracting the lesser cursed spirits that had gathered nearby.
Momo Ayase and Hitagi Senjougahara, who had just survived the chaos, suddenly discovered a change in themselves—their eyes now capable of spiritual sight, seeing the wandering cursed spirits clearly.
"G-ghosts!!!"
Momo screamed as a swarm of curses turned their attention toward her.
"You see me! You see me!!"
Their shrill screeches filled the air, driving terror deep into her heart. But at the peak of her fear—she suddenly went calm.
Fragments of childhood memories flashed through her mind—her grandmother's teachings.
"As long as you release your Qi, you'll be safe. You won't get sick, and no evil will touch you."
"Start from your core—tighten your abdomen—and imagine your Qi flowing up and out from the top of your head."
Hummm!!!
A wave of unseen energy burst out from her, wrapping around her body.
"Grandma didn't lie… she was a real spirit medium!"
Momo's eyes snapped open. A powerful telekinetic force exploded outward, repelling every cursed spirit around her.
"Momo!?"
Hitagi stared in disbelief. I thought we were both just normal girls—how did you just unlock a cheat code!?
Her shock didn't last long. Within seconds, Momo's aura flickered and weakened.
"Ahh! It's my first time using it—I don't even know how it works!"
Before she could panic further, dozens of shining spears rained down from the sky.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Each radiant spear pierced through a cursed spirit, divine punishment descending like a storm. When the two girls looked up, they saw three fallen angels clearing the battlefield.
"They're here."
Takumi glanced up, then raised his right hand toward the remaining curses.
"[Spirit Devour]!"
Both shattered and living curses alike were pulled into the void forming in his palm.
Then, the gems on his gauntlet glowed once more—this time with healing energy.
Soft green light spread through the entire district, washing over every wounded soul. In mere seconds, over a thousand injured civilians were healed, restored to perfect health.
Momo and Hitagi stared in awe.
"A miracle…"
"This is insane."
"Who did we even call… a god?"
"I… I think we just hit the cosmic jackpot."
They exchanged dazed words, their minds struggling to process everything that had happened.
As the last cursed spirit vanished, Takumi's Points ticked up to 6. From the sky, Raynare, Kalawarna, and Mittelt descended gracefully.
"Master!" x3
The three fallen angels landed before him, kneeling in unison in a display of loyalty. Takumi ran a hand through their hair, his expression full of satisfaction.
"Return to the church. Tonight, I'll reward you properly."
"Yes, Master♡!" x3
Their eyes glimmered with anticipation and delight as they took flight again, vanishing into the distance.
"That technique of yours… wait, no. You're not a jujutsu sorcerer, are you?"
A clear, confident female voice sounded from nearby. Turning, Takumi saw a blonde woman dismounting her motorcycle.
She was stunning—mature, poised, and dangerously alluring. Her sleeveless black shirt couldn't hide her sculpted figure or smooth, pale skin. Her toned arms and exposed underarms gleamed under the light; her tight blue jeans perfectly shaped her curves.
She radiated elegance and power—beauty laced with danger. When her eyes met Takumi's, a spark passed between them. A flirtatious smile tugged at her lips.
"Tell me," she said softly, her voice dripping with curiosity. "What kind of woman do you like?"
