"How are things inside?"
Naobito Zen'in looked at the captain of the intelligence squad behind him.
"It has been confirmed that there are indeed a large number of Cursed Spirits and unknown powerful individuals within the barrier. The intelligence report of one million Cursed Spirits and ancient powerhouses revived through Incarnation is largely accurate."
The captain reported to Naobito Zen'in with a solemn expression.
Having worked in intelligence for many years, he naturally understood what this meant.
"Thank you for your hard work. Prepare to retreat."
After speaking, Naobito Zen'in took out his phone and sent a message.
The barrier entrance opened.
Dhruv and Uro Takako were the first to rush out of the barrier.
Ryu Ishigori and others followed behind them.
"Damn it, it's that brat again."
Uro Takako in the sky was the first to clearly see the retreating crowd in the distance.
Eichi's figure was among them.
"Let them go."
Tamamo-no-Mae's voice came, and those who were pursuing stopped in their tracks.
"Are we just going to let them go?" Uro Takako said unwillingly.
"The decisive battle is approaching, there's no need to bother with these petty tricks. Guard the barrier well, and tomorrow I will lead you to defeat all enemies."
"You are going against the entire Jujutsu World, and even the entire country. Do you really think you can win?" Uro Takako looked at Tamamo-no-Mae with a serious expression.
"I will win."
Tamamo-no-Mae's face was full of confidence.
Upon hearing this, Uro Takako's expression didn't change much.
However, everyone behind Uro Takako showed excited expressions.
In the world these people knew, Tamamo-no-Mae's army of a million Cursed Spirits was an irresistible force... At the same time, Jujutsu Headquarters.
"The Zen'in Family Head has just sent word that Azuma Eichi's report is accurate."
The meeting fell into a brief silence.
This was the situation they least wanted to see.
"How much power can we mobilize right now?"
A voice broke the silence.
"Latest report: we can gather about a thousand Jujutsu Sorcerers in a short time, but most of them are Grade 3 Jujutsu Sorcerers and Assistant Supervisors with weaker combat power..."
"No need to worry, there are also a large number of Grade 4 and Grade 3 Cursed Spirits among the Cursed Spirits. How long will it take for them to be in position?"
"According to current statistics, the fastest they can all assemble is 20 hours."
"20 hours is too slow. Have the normal world cooperate with the operation. This is also a matter of their survival. Have them mobilize helicopters, airplanes, etc., to assist us and proceed to Sendai to construct a defense line as quickly as possible."
"Understood."
Everyone agreed.
This also showed the importance Jujutsu Headquarters placed on this matter.
After all, if not handled properly, it could threaten their position.
In terms of protecting their own rights, they hadn't exerted themselves like this in a long time.
"What about the six Special Grade enemies, including Tamamo-no-Mae? We can only dispatch four Special Grades here, putting us at a numerical disadvantage."
"Don't worry about that."
An Elder representing the Gojo Family spoke confidently.
"There are differences even among Special Grades. How could an ordinary Special Grade be a match for the Six Eyes User?"
The confidence in the Elder's tone infected many people.
"Indeed, there's no need to worry. After all, the Six Eyes User of the Ten Shadows Technique exorcised the Special Grade Cursed Spirit Kuroi Bokusatsu while being attacked by five Special Grades and came out unscathed."
The Zen'in Family representative at the meeting was not to be outdone.
"Heh heh, that's hard to say. The cause of this disaster might just be..." An Elder representing the Kamo Family said sarcastically.
Everyone understood the implication of his words.
There had always been a saying in the Jujutsu World.
The birth of Gojo Satoru upset the world's balance, ultimately leading to the continuous strengthening of curses.
In recent years, Eichi, who could contend with Gojo Satoru, also appeared.
The Kamo Family Elder was implying that the cause of this disaster was the two of them breaking the original balance.
That's why Tamamo-no-Mae's revival and the appearance of a million Cursed Spirits occurred.
No one paid attention to his words.
The meeting ended quickly.
After the meeting, the Kamo Family Elder breathed a sigh of relief, his expression full of disappointment.
In the intelligence sent back by the intelligence squad, Ootengu was identified as a Special Grade hypothetical vengeful spirit.
It was a Special Grade Cursed Spirit born from people's fear of the yokai Ootengu.
And not, as they initially believed, one of the three great vengeful spirits of the island nation, the Incarnation of their Old Ancestor, Emperor Sutoku, after his death.
After all, their Old Ancestor, Emperor Sutoku, had a deep relationship with Tamamo-no-Mae before his death, becoming the Special Grade Cursed Vengeful Spirit, Ootengu.
Therefore, when they heard that Tamamo-no-Mae had a Special Grade Cursed Spirit Ootengu by her side, they still held some fantasies.
This was also because the Jujutsu department in Hokkaido reported too vaguely, coupled with the outbreak of Tamamo-no-Mae's incident.
Jujutsu Headquarters had no time to investigate Hokkaido, which led to this misunderstanding.
The Kamo Family was the earliest famous Family among The Big Three Families, and also the latest to fully form.
The earliest because the Kamo Family was once of the Imperial lineage.
The latest because their Technique originated from Emperor Sutoku, and Emperor Sutoku was the last of the three great vengeful spirits to appear.
Emperor Sutoku and Tamamo-no-Mae were contemporaries.
The Kamo Family has suffered these past years.
The Gojo Family has the Six Eyes, the Zen'in Family has the Ten Shadows Technique, and the Kamo Family only has inexplicable blame thrown their way.
Kenjaku: Isn't it right for the juniors to take some blame for me?
So they really hoped that Emperor Sutoku could reappear and support them.
Even if he couldn't defeat those two freaks, the Six Eyes and the Ten Shadows Technique.
He was still a top-tier Special Grade powerhouse, one of the three great vengeful spirits whose historical reputation was second only to the King of Curses.
As long as he existed, the Kamo Family would be much better off.
But it wasn't him after all.
Suffering, the Kamo Family suffers.
For a time, the power of the Jujutsu World converged towards Sendai. The power of the nation.
Over the next day, both sides tacitly refrained from major actions.
However, there were numerous surveillance and probing activities.
Jujutsu Headquarters, with unprecedented assertiveness, mobilized a large number of Jujutsu Sorcerers to Sendai.
The Big Three Families also uncharacteristically and actively dispatched many Jujutsu Sorcerers to participate in the battle.
They all arrived in a very short time, then were divided into four units to surround Northern Sendai.
For a time, the situation was turbulent.
Northern Sendai.
Groups of Cursed Spirits rushed out of the barrier.
Forming hundreds of dense Cursed Spirit swarms.
When Cursed Spirits began to continuously pour out of the barrier, Tengen, who had been closely monitoring the situation, immediately took action.
The power that had been prepared for a long time was unleashed.
A barrier, over ten kilometers long, completely enveloped the area where the Cursed Spirits were located.
This was the Sendai Barrier set up by Tengen after mobilizing all the barrier power in the entire Tohoku Region.
Its solidity surpassed that of the Sendai Barrier in the Culling Game.
After the barrier formed, four gates appeared in front of the four Jujutsu Sorcerer teams guarding the perimeter.
"What a huge barrier, is this the legendary power of Tengen?" Dhruv exclaimed.
Over a thousand years, Tengen's name had appeared in almost every corner of the Jujutsu World; few people didn't know Tengen.
"It's just a barrier, Ishigori."
Tamamo-no-Mae gestured to Ryu Ishigori.
Ryu Ishigori didn't refuse. After arriving at the edge of a barrier, he fired several Cursed Energy blasts.
"Ice Sand Shockwave."
Cursed Energy blasts powerful enough to shatter a villa had no effect on the barrier.
"Interesting."
Ryu Ishigori fired another Cursed Energy blast at maximum output.
The barrier only produced a slight ripple.
On the other side, the Cursed Spirits near the edge of the barrier began continuously attacking the barrier.
But they still couldn't break it.
"This barrier seems to be completely connected to this land, and new power is constantly being supplied to the barrier."
A hunched Elder with blood-red eyes walked up to Tamamo-no-Mae.
"More than that."
Uro Takako looked down from the sky at the Jujutsu Sorcerers arrayed in front of the four gates in the distance.
"By leaving gates in the barrier, they exchanged the ability to enter and exit through the gates for the strength of the barrier in the areas outside the gates."
"The most important thing about the gates isn't that they strengthen the barrier's intensity, but that they designate a battlefield advantageous to them."
Tamamo-no-Mae added.
"Their meaning is clear: if we want to leave here, we must defeat them head-on."
Tamamo-no-Mae smiled charmingly.
"Since that's the case, let them experience my army."
...On the other side, Eichi, Gojo Satoru, and Suguru Geto were reunited after a long time.
Heroic Spirit Emiya, who had been cooking at the High School, also arrived with the Jujutsu Sorcerer forces.
"You guys arrived quickly."
"Of course, how could I miss out on something like this? If Teacher Yaga hadn't told me to wait for news, I would have been here much earlier."
Gojo Satoru, who had been sprawled on the back of a chair, suddenly teleported next to Eichi.
"Hey, hey, Eichi, are there any fun enemies this time? Introduce them to me."
Gojo Satoru pressed directly onto Eichi's back, his long fingers constantly poking Eichi's cheek.
Suguru Geto, expressionless, reached his hands under Gojo Satoru's armpits, then lifted the big cat, who was sprawled on Eichi's shoulder, high into the air.
"Alright, that's enough."
Gojo Satoru's white cat-like head tilted back.
Their gazes met.
"Eichi has been busy these past few days, let him rest for a bit."
After saying that, Suguru Geto put the Gojo cat back on the chair.
'Why do I feel like Suguru Geto is getting gentler? No wonder so many people ship Gojo and Geto.'
"Daijobu, I'll take care of all the remaining guys."
Eichi also stood up at this moment and walked forward, lightly punching Suguru Geto's chest.
"You guys arrived pretty fast."
"Satoru said it's rare to have such a fun event, so he had to be the first one here immediately."
"Fun, that's so like you."
Eichi rolled his eyes at Gojo Satoru.
One should know that because of this, those Old geezers at Jujutsu Headquarters were practically dying of anxiety.
