"Wow, such strong Cursed Energy."
Gojo Satoru stood at the edge of the Cursed Energy storm, curiously observing Tamamo-no-Mae.
"Is this one planning to fall into a Cursed Spirit?"
Gojo Satoru stroked his chin.
After a Jujutsu Sorcerer dies, if their body is not handled by other Jujutsu Sorcerers, it's easy for them to turn into a Cursed Spirit due to the residual Cursed Energy within them.
However, Gojo Satoru had never before seen someone actively sever their Life Qi and turn into a Cursed Spirit while still alive.
This was also because Tamamo-no-Mae had the experience of becoming a vengeful Cursed Spirit after death once before, which emboldened her to do this.
Back then, she was besieged by hundreds of thousands of troops and numerous Jujutsu Sorcerers.
With her Cursed Energy almost depleted, Tamamo-no-Mae dragged her fatally wounded body and fled to a desolate wilderness.
Every trace of Cursed Energy she could muster was used by Tamamo-no-Mae to prolong her life.
But it was useless; Reverse Cursed Technique consumed a lot of Cursed Energy.
With her Cursed Energy almost exhausted, she could no longer use Reverse Cursed Technique to heal her wounds.
So, Tamamo-no-Mae lay there in despair in the wilderness, watching the sun slowly set.
The despair, hatred, and other emotions in Tamamo-no-Mae's heart continuously brewed, finally reaching their peak at the moment of her death.
Just like that, Tamamo-no-Mae transformed into a Special Grade Cursed Spirit: Nine-tailed Fox.
It was precisely because of this experience that Tamamo-no-Mae, knowing she had no retreat, began to actively transform into a Cursed Spirit.
Tamamo-no-Mae wanted to devour the Cursed Energy of the million Cursed Spirits on the battlefield to become an unprecedented million-strong Great Cursed Spirit.
She hoped to find an opportunity to turn the tide.
Tamamo-no-Mae's Cursed Energy continued to climb, and the sesshoseki began to constantly absorb the scattered Cursed Energy after the Cursed Spirits were exorcised.
A gigantic Nine-tailed Fox manifested from the storm.
"Not enough, still not enough."
Tamamo-no-Mae strangely found that the Cursed Energy scattered around was much less than she had expected.
The million Cursed Spirits had already suffered nearly half their losses.
Why was there so little Cursed Energy floating in the air?
Soon, Tamamo-no-Mae discovered the problem.
'All the Cursed Energy scattered after the Cursed Spirits die is converging towards the East Gate?'
Tamamo-no-Mae looked towards the East Gate, her perception of Cursed Energy greatly enhanced after becoming a Cursed Spirit.
Strands of Cursed Energy, difficult to observe, were captured by Tamamo-no-Mae.
At this moment, the Cursed Energy was like countless rivers flowing towards two vast seas.
One part flowed towards Tamamo-no-Mae in the center of the barrier, and another part flowed towards Medea at the East Gate.
Tamamo-no-Mae also saw that the Cursed Energy flowing to Medea was absorbed and transformed by Medea, then flowed to several other powerful individuals.
"So that's it, no wonder my army couldn't wear you down, you hateful woman."
Tamamo-no-Mae opened her massive mouth, and countless Cursed Energy converged within it.
"This won't do."
Gojo Satoru, who had been observing Tamamo-no-Mae's transformation into a Cursed Spirit out of curiosity, finally moved.
"Cursed Technique Reversal: Blue."
"Cursed Technique Reversal: Red."
"Imaginary Technique: Purple."
A purple sphere appeared in front of Gojo Satoru.
Gojo Satoru flicked his finger.
A terrifying wave of energy, capable of tearing space itself, shot towards Tamamo-no-Mae's vital point.
This attack was not aimed at Tamamo-no-Mae's head, where she was preparing to attack, but at the core where her Cursed Energy was most concentrated within her body.
Attack where the enemy must defend.
Tamamo-no-Mae immediately sensed Gojo Satoru's attack.
Instantly, Tamamo-no-Mae made a decision.
Tamamo-no-Mae did not redirect her attack to meet the Purple, as Gojo Satoru had expected.
Instead, she opened her mouth wide and unleashed the terrifying attack towards the East Gate.
"Oh no, get out of the way quickly."
"Barrier, maximize the barrier's defensive capabilities!"
Facing this terrifying blow, the Jujutsu Sorcerers in the East Gate's defense line immediately fell into disarray.
Naobito, as the commander, also had a solemn expression.
He slightly turned his head, glanced at Medea, and seeing that Medea still looked normal, Naobito breathed a sigh of relief.
Medea's expression indicated that this attack would not affect their position.
Otherwise, she would definitely have already taken action.
"Don't panic! Hold your ground! Someone will deal with the attack from above!"
No sooner had Naobito finished speaking than two attacks flew into the sky.
It was Eichi, controlling the Ten Shadows Technique Shikigami, who was intercepting Tamamo-no-Mae's attack.
With the immense commotion Tamamo-no-Mae caused, Eichi naturally noticed it.
The moment Tamamo-no-Mae opened her mouth and began to gather power towards the East Gate, Eichi started preparing to counter-attack.
Artoria was still in the Cursed Spirit formation.
If she were to counter-attack, she might be injured by the Cursed Spirits taking advantage of the situation.
It was better for him, who had been commanding the Shikigami and hadn't delved too deeply into the Cursed Spirit encirclement, to handle it.
"Louis, fully compress the air, hmm… let's call it 'Air Bullet'."
"Giant Elephant, fully use 'Iron Cannonball'."
Looking at Tamamo-no-Mae's attack, which resembled a Tailed Beast Ball after she transformed into a Nine-tailed Fox.
Eichi decided to unify the style.
Under the control of Maximum Technique, the Jade Hounds merged into Louis's body, and the toad merged into the Giant Elephant's body.
Eight Shikigami merged into two giant beasts.
Under Eichi's full power, the Giant Elephant's shoulder height was already close to 10 meters, and Louis's wingspan exceeded 20 meters.
The two Shikigami used their full power to block Tamamo-no-Mae's attack.
At the same time, the energy wave unleashed by Imaginary Technique: Purple pierced through the Nine-tailed Fox's heart.
Gurgle, bang.
The Nine-tailed Fox's massive body began to swell and bulge, then exploded.
"Oh, there are more of them."
Gojo Satoru watched as the most concentrated Cursed Energy within Tamamo-no-Mae suddenly split into seven.
Imaginary Technique: Purple passed through the center of the 7 Cursed Energy cores.
Tamamo-no-Mae's massive body, tens of meters tall, exploded.
It transformed into 7 smaller Special Grade Cursed Spirits: Nine-tailed Fox, and several hundred ordinary foxes condensed from Cursed Energy.
The 7 Special Grade Nine-tailed Foxes were Tamamo-no-Mae's split forms, with the 7 sesshoseki she had recovered as their cores.
The small foxes, like the fire foxes she had previously created with her Technique, were condensed from Cursed Energy.
"Don't even think about escaping."
Gojo Satoru teleported in front of one of the Nine-tailed Foxes.
A spinning kick struck the Nine-tailed Fox's head.
The Nine-tailed Fox was immediately kicked flying back.
Gojo Satoru immediately teleported in front of the second Nine-tailed Fox and repeated the trick, kicking another Nine-tailed Fox back.
"Cursed Technique Reversal: Blue."
A azure-blue black hole instantly appeared in front of the third Nine-tailed Fox, preventing its escape.
Then Gojo Satoru teleported above the fourth Nine-tailed Fox's head.
"Cursed Technique Reversal: Red."
The Nine-tailed Fox was pushed back by the repulsive force.
In an instant, Gojo Satoru had intercepted 4 Special Grade Nine-tailed Foxes.
"Three got away. Never mind, Eichi and Geto can handle them."
Then, Gojo Satoru looked at the four large, ten-meter-tall foxes in front of him.
"Don't you dare run away, or I'll get angry."
Gojo Satoru displayed a wide smile.
However, the Nine-tailed Foxes in front of Gojo Satoru did not relax their guard because of this smile.
Instead, they felt a chill rise from the depths of their hearts.
They had a feeling at this moment.
If they dared to run away, this man in front of them would truly do something they would regret.
The Nine-tailed Foxes exchanged glances, then fangs, sharp claws, and fox tails attacked Gojo Satoru from all directions.
