Gojo Satoru interrupted him directly, so angry he nearly laughed. "Who cares if you succeed or fail! Who cares what you become!"
"Since we are comrades, sworn friends, we should face it together! Do you think carrying everything on your own is cool? That's just stupid!"
He pointed at the distant Sukuna, who was being repaired, and then pointed at the massive Colossal Cursed Spirit.
"Look at this mess! This twisted world! What can one person change on their own? Even you can't do it!"
"Real change requires like-minded partners, trust where you can entrust your back to each other! Not someone's self-sacrifice!"
Gojo Satoru stared intensely into Toho Hiroshi's Rinnegan, his tone unprecedentedly serious. "Listen, Toho Hiroshi, your goal is crazy, but if it's you, maybe you really can do it. But don't think about ditching me to work alone again!"
"I'll walk this path with you! Whether we become the saviors of the world or the demon kings who destroy it, we'll shoulder it together!"
Toho Hiroshi looked at Gojo Satoru's unquestionable, firm gaze that seemed capable of dispelling all gloom. After a long while, the corners of his mouth, frozen for years, seemed to curve up in an almost imperceptible, faint arc.
"Suit yourself."
He ultimately replied with only those three words, but the meaning contained within was already different.
However, Kenjaku—or rather, the Colossal Cursed Spirit that had fused with Tengen and the Cursed Energy of one hundred million people—did not give the two of them much opportunity to reminisce or reach a consensus.
The moment their conversation ended, in the center of that massive body composed of countless twisted faces and shadows, Kenjaku's head suddenly lifted, emitting an inhuman shriek mixed with billions of voices!
"Reminiscing time is over, you two!"
Following this shriek, on the Colossal Cursed Spirit's mountain-like body, countless faces struggling in pain opened their mouths simultaneously, spewing billions of torrents of black energy condensed with extreme resentment and Curses.
These energy torrents, as if possessing life, intertwined and circled in the air, forming a net of death that covered the entire sky, carrying a terrifying aura that annihilated souls and polluted everything, descending directly upon Toho Hiroshi and Gojo Satoru.
Before the attack arrived, the immense malice had already caused space itself to twist and groan.
The final confrontation had finally begun!
Facing the black energy torrents that blotted out the sky and contained billions of Curses, Toho Hiroshi and Gojo Satoru's eyes both sharpened.
"What a warm welcome!"
Gojo Satoru teased, but his movements were not slow in the slightest. He quickly formed hand signs, his blue Rikugan precisely capturing the weakest nodes in the energy torrents.
His insights into the "Limitless" had taken his mastery of space to the next level.
"Blue: Oscillation."
He pressed his hand forward into the air. Instead of resisting directly, he used "Blue" as the core, laying out layers of twisted spatial sequences with varying frequencies in front of him.
The destructive black torrent crashed into this oscillating airspace, as if falling into an invisible quagmire. Its internal structure was constantly pulled and interfered with by different spatial frequencies; before it even touched the two, its power had already dissipated by thirty percent.
At the same time, the purple light of Toho Hiroshi's Rinnegan flared brightly.
"Almighty Push."
A powerful repulsive force erupted from him as the center, forcibly deflecting and pushing away the remaining seventy percent of the weakened energy torrents.
The black Cursed torrent, like a tidal wave crashing into an invisible dam, split to both sides, carving two bottomless chasms into the already shattered earth in the distance, the corrosive energy sizzling.
However, this was merely a casual probe by Kenjaku controlling the Colossal Cursed Spirit.
On that massive body, countless faces writhed again, emitting unintelligible whispers.
The next moment, the lights of various, distinct Cursed Techniques lit up on its surface like holiday fireworks, immediately pouring out as substantive attacks.
There were freezing ice waterfalls that froze souls, corrosive acid rain that melted steel, super-gravity domains that made it impossible to move, and bizarre Curses that acted directly on internal organs, causing organ failure.
There were flying Cursed Objects that blotted out the sky, each at least comparable to a Grade 1 Cursed Spirit;
And even interference ripples that mimicked the effects of "Simple Domain," specifically designed to neutralize their domains and high-level Cursed Techniques...
The variety, density, and fluidity of the Cursed Technique releases were simply unfathomable, as if all the forms of Curses humanity had been able to imagine over the past millennium had been gathered here.
"Tsk, what a blooming garden of horrors. Disgusting."
Gojo Satoru clicked his tongue, his figure flickering like a ghost amidst the dense attacks.
The "Limitless" Cursed Technique caused most attacks to be infinitely slowed as they approached him, but facing some rule-based or large-scale Curses, he also had to carefully dodge or use "Blue" and "Red" to precisely shatter or deflect them.
Toho Hiroshi also utilized the abilities of his Rinnegan to the limit.
"Preta Path: Absorption Soul Technique" continuously devoured energy-based attacks.
He alternated between "Almighty Push" and "Universal Pull," either repelling attacks, altering their trajectories, or even throwing some Cursed Objects back at Kenjaku's main body.
The "Human Path: Mind Reading" soul attack attempted to probe, but it was like a stone sinking into the ocean; the opponent's soul barrier, mixed with the consciousness of billions of people, was unimaginably thick.
Limbo shadows struck out everywhere, intercepting and destroying those physical Cursed Objects and Curses attempting to close in.
The two's counterattacks were equally fierce.
Gojo Satoru's "Purple" no longer required preparation; he cast it with ease, sending energy spheres that twisted space crashing into Kenjaku's massive body, blasting open huge holes.
Toho Hiroshi's "Asura Path: Flaming Arrow" was like a metal storm, while the destructive energy cannons of the "Asura Attack" continuously plowed across the Cursed Spirit's surface.
However, the effect was minimal.
Kenjaku's regenerative power, supported by the Cursed Energy of billions, reached an unfathomable level.
Whether it was parts annihilated by "Purple" or tissues evaporated by energy cannons, almost within a second or two after the attack, new, writhing shadows and painful faces would emerge from the wounds, quickly filling, repairing, and restoring everything to its original state.
That bottomless Cursed Energy seemed truly endless.
"Hahahaha! It's useless! It's useless!"
Kenjaku's maniacal laughter, mixed with billions of voices, echoed across the battlefield. "I am the collection of all Curses! I am the 'multitude'! How can individual power contend with the karma of the 'multitude'?"
The battle fell into a desperate stalemate.
Every attack from Toho Hiroshi and Gojo Satoru was enough to heavily injure or even kill any Special Grade Cursed Spirit instantly, but hitting Kenjaku was like slashing at the ocean with a sharp blade; it only stirred up fleeting ripples.
Gojo Satoru's brow furrowed tighter and tighter, his Rikugan analyzing at high speed. "This isn't working. The efficiency of conventional attacks is too low. Its total Cursed Energy and recovery speed exceed the scope of singular elimination."
Toho Hiroshi also realized this point.
His Rinnegan was locked tightly onto Kenjaku, searching for any possible flaw.
In the moment he used "Universal Pull" to forcibly tear away a part of the opponent's body, and immediately followed up with "Almighty Push" to blast it into pieces, he keenly noticed that inside the shattered body, there seemed to be some kind of more solid, neural network-like structure that flashed by and disappeared.
"Its core, or rather, the'system' that maintains its form, might be hidden inside."
Toho Hiroshi said in a deep voice.
