Chapter 134 What is [Betrayal]
There are no two completely identical leaves in the world, and naturally, there cannot be two Sorcerers with identical physical information.
Perhaps if time and quantity are simultaneously extended infinitely in both directions, completely identical things will eventually appear, similar to the [Infinite Monkey Theorem].
But in the world today, even among creatures whose vast numbers are the hardest to calculate, there are no completely identical individuals, let alone humans, who only number a few billion?
Compared to the entire human population, the number of Sorcerers is even less, numbering only tens of thousands.
Even if Sorcerers occasionally awaken the same Cursed Technique, there will be differences in the details. Just like the Kamo clan's [Red Scale Manipulation], every successor will have their different usage, and the experience of predecessors can only play a promotional role.
A Cursed Tool capable of dispelling an active Cursed Technique—there is only one such weapon in the entire Jujutsu world—the Special Grade Cursed Tool once used by Toji Fushiguro, the Inverted Spear of Heaven.
It can easily dispel even Satoru Gojo's [Infinity], and the monk (Pseudo-Geto) absolutely refused to believe that Emiya could easily reproduce and forge such a Cursed Tool.
Being able to forge a Special Grade Cursed Tool and being able to copy the Cursed Technique within a Special Grade Cursed Tool are two completely different concepts.
Bang—!
The moment [Dark Wriggle] was dispelled, the colossal robot controlled by Kokichi Muta immediately knelt into the lake water, splashing countless droplets.
To ensure absolute control over Mechamaru Prototype Zero, Kokichi Muta had directly connected his nervous system senses into it, meaning their actions and thoughts are synchronized.
Because he was completely unaware of his state while in the darkness, he had kept his nerves absolutely taut, not daring to make the slightest movement. All the torture was in the mental domain.
After coming into contact with light again, his taut nerves relaxed, and Mechamaru naturally took a rest along with his mental state.
"Time... only three minutes have passed?!"
"The one standing there in confrontation with the enemy is Emiya-sensei? It seems the Cursed Technique was dispelled by him... so reliable."
Rushing to the scene to provide support in just a few minutes, this speed is absolutely the fastest in the Jujutsu world.
"The main body has regained contact. Now I should log off."
The device hanging on Emiya's chest flickered a few times, and the next time a voice sounded, it was with a more emotional tone.
"Thank you very much for your assistance, Mr. Emiya.
This individual in front of us, suspected to be the Curse User Suguru Geto, holds a high rank in the Cursed Spirit faction; he is at least one of the high-ranking members, if not the leader.
To ensure stability, we must completely annihilate him... My Mechamaru Zero still stores a massive amount of Cursed Power accumulated over seventeen years, ready to provide fire support at any time."
Kokichi Muta did not act rashly but instead directly positioned himself as a supporter, which is commendable.
The most taboo thing in team combat is being unable to distinguish the main and secondary roles, thereby disrupting the battle in a chaotic offense and giving the enemy an opportunity to operate.
"Can your... weapon emit that kind of large-scale, high-density Cursed Power attack?"
The weapon, hooked by the chain and spinning beside him, was still generating a noisy wind, and Emiya was certain that this level of sound would not reach the opponent.
"Yes. Two years... no, about three years' worth of Cursed Power can cause an attack of the magnitude of the hole in the field."
Kokichi Muta was, of course, referring to the crater left by [Uzumaki].
The simplest way to break a Cursed Technique is to flush it with massive Cursed Power, and his machine is even equipped with a device to suppress Cursed Power operation, so the output capability is definitely top-tier.
"Very well, then I will attempt to control the opponent."
Emiya replied calmly.
"What? Thinking about how to deal with me? It seems I revealed a bit too much information...
So, in exchange, could you perhaps tell me what's going on with this weapon that can dispel Cursed Techniques?"
The monk remained smiling, though who knows what thoughts he harbored inside.
"Rule Breaker. Medea, the Witch of Betrayal, the original wife of Jason in Greek mythology—this weapon is the materialization of her Divinity.
Betrayal and separation... you, who live in the filthy shadows, can probably understand the concept of this principle, right?
However, that witch was a pitiful person whose life was played with by the gods, while you are simply purely detestable."
Treating human life as insignificant, trifling with the dead, and even betraying the human species... any one of these is unforgivable.
However, in reality, the weapon Rule Breaker is not as exaggerated as Emiya described.
It is indeed imbued with the concept of [Deviation] (or "Breaking the Rules"), but to achieve this, it sacrifices all weapon performance, and its characteristic only takes effect when facing things that operate on a foundation of magical energy.
It was Emiya's further modification of the weapon based on his [Projection] technique that converted its target from magical energy to Cursed Power.
Not only was the efficacy weakened compared to its effect on magical energy, but the current performance as a weapon was also gained by Emiya at the expense of other characteristics.
"Witch?
Sure enough, just as Jogo said, your abilities and weapons are products completely detached from the Jujutsu world—very dangerous...!"
The instant the monk's words fell, the Cursed Spirit Dragon's Wriggle, still spraying offspring, immediately swung its blade and rushed toward Emiya.
"Did you forget what I said? Its ability is the concept of all [Betrayal]!"
The short dagger with the twisted blade was swung by Emiya on its chain toward the charging Cursed Spirit, deeply stabbing into its body.
As mentioned just now, the weapon's original concept of [Deviation] was weakened after being modified into a Cursed Tool, and when facing living things, it can only take effect by penetrating the core like this.
"Screech—!!!"
"..."
"Even the [Cursed Spirit Manipulation] contract was...?!"
In that instant, the monk finally experienced the terror dominated by super-effectiveness.
Forget the Cursed Techniques of each Cursed Spirit having different effects; the opponent can even directly sever the contract between him and the Cursed Spirit. What use is any clever Cursed Technique then?
The biggest advantage of [Cursed Spirit Manipulation] is the difficulty in specially countering the diverse Cursed Techniques of different Cursed Spirits... this sentence has now completely become a joke.
Isn't it too ridiculous for a hundred Cursed Spirits to be countered by one small short dagger?
Even though the Cursed Technique of the Inverted Spear of Heaven is also to forcibly dispel an active Cursed Technique, it cannot forcibly dispel the contract between [Cursed Spirit Manipulation] and a Cursed Spirit!
"Screech!!!"
Even Special Grade Cursed Spirits that once possessed intelligence lose all capacity for thought and become puppets after being controlled by [Cursed Spirit Manipulation]—this process is irreversible.
Therefore, even when the contract is forcibly dispelled by Rule Breaker, Dragon's Wriggle is left only with its instinct as a Cursed Spirit.
But with the dagger and chain still embedded in its body, it did not target Emiya, the attacker, but twisted around to stare fiercely at the monk who had released it.
As Emiya deliberately loosened the chain, Dragon's Wriggle immediately rushed toward its former master.
This scene was as if Emiya were using his own domesticated Cursed Spirit to attack the opponent.
A moment before it arrived, the swarms of chaotically flying cockroaches had already covered the monk's surroundings, and then Dragon's Wriggle itself swung its blade—
"Now, Mechamaru!"
"Yes, Mr. Emiya!"
Receiving the order, Kokichi Muta immediately brought the colossal robot's hands together, aiming at the direction where the cockroaches were surging and tightly packed.
There is no need for overly precise aiming, because this entire area is practically within the cannon's caliber.
As long as the caliber is large enough, aiming is superfluous!
"Cursed Power charge, three years' worth!
Full-power fire, Great Exorcism Cannon... Go, Mechamaru Zero!!!"
Kokichi Muta, seated in the cockpit, pushed the lever in his hand forward without hesitation.
Boom————!!!!!
