"Do you think I'm joking with you!"
Sato Kazuma raised his chin, looking at Aqua in front of him with a smug face.
He thoroughly enjoyed Aqua's astonished expression.
"No, that's impossible... Reincarnation and crossing over to other worlds should all be handled by us goddesses of the Celestial Realm! I've never heard of anything like a Chat Group!!!"
Aqua looked at Yuji Itadori and Sato Kazuma, finding it hard to accept.
If this Chat Group exists...
Wouldn't her importance as a goddess be greatly reduced?!
Unacceptable, completely unacceptable!
Right at that moment, Aqua seemed to sense something. She tilted her head and looked at Yuji Itadori—
"You have the scent of a monster on you!!!"
The next second, Aqua suddenly raised her hand and began chanting.
Purification!
A bright light instantly completely enveloped Yuji Itadori!
Although Aqua's usual combat power was on par with a mature banana, she possessed incredibly terrifying lethality against monsters!
Facing her full-powered attack, even a cadre-level entity in the Demon King Army could be instantly reduced to ashes!
However, Yuji Itadori was completely fine, and even seemed a little confused about what Aqua was doing.
"Useless goddess, what are you doing!!!!"
Sato Kazuma rushed forward and delivered a hard chop right to the top of Aqua's head.
"Ahhh Kazuma, how dare you hit me!!!"
Aqua clutched her head, squatting on the ground with a wronged expression, tears welling up in her eyes.
"I'm extremely sorry, Group Leader! This girl just has no manners!"
Sato Kazuma pressed Aqua's head down, apologizing to Yuji Itadori.
"Uh... did something just happen?"
Yuji Itadori pursed his lips.
The vibe of this world seemed completely different from Natsuki Subaru's side.
Moreover...
Aqua was supposedly the goddess who guided transmigrators, right?
According to the anime, movies, and novels Yuji Itadori had seen, goddesses were all relatively sacred beings.
But Aqua was being scolded by Sato Kazuma like a dog.
Furthermore, in the video Sato Kazuma had previously uploaded to the group, Aqua's mocking laughter was like a demonic sound piercing the ears.
"Kazuma!!! You can't blame me!!! This person has the scent of a monster on him!!!"
Aqua wiped her tears and said to Sato Kazuma with a serious face,
"But I don't know why, the Purification had no effect at all!"
"Monster? I understand."
Yuji Itadori realized her misunderstanding and immediately explained,
"I'm not a monster, but there did used to be a monster-like entity residing inside my body."
Yuji Itadori lowered his head, looking at the palm of his hand.
The scent of a monster... she must be referring to Sukuna.
The Cursed Technique on his body had also been entirely branded onto him by Sukuna.
Even after sixty-eight years, could Aqua actually still sense his presence?
Aqua looked at Yuji Itadori cautiously, then nodded anyway.
After all, since he hadn't reacted to her Purification Magic at all, the possibility of Yuji Itadori being a monster could be ruled out.
But things like a Chat Group were still somewhat hard to believe.
Aqua then asked Yuji Itadori some things about the Chat Group, and the latter explained what he knew.
"...That's roughly the situation."
After Yuji Itadori finished speaking, he looked at Aqua.
Aqua revealed an expression of sudden realization:
"I didn't understand a single thing!"
"Then why did you make a face like you completely understood!!!"
Sato Kazuma really wanted to shove Aqua's head into the dirt right now.
"You can't blame me for that! This whole Chat Group thing sounds really baffling!"
Aqua stood up, dusted the grass off herself, and glanced at Yuji Itadori again. Her gaze, however, inadvertently focused on the food and drinks he had brought over, and she swallowed hard:
"Hey! If that Sukuna you mentioned shows up again! Just come find me! Watch me directly exorcise him!"
"Heh, bragging again. A goddess who doesn't actually know how to do anything."
Sato Kazuma sneered from the side.
"What did you say! Show some respect to a goddess!"
"Just now our companions were in danger, yet as a goddess, you just stood by making snide remarks! How do you still have the nerve to call yourself a goddess!"
Sato Kazuma and Aqua started bickering again.
Watching the two in front of him, the corners of Yuji Itadori's mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly.
He couldn't help but recall his past.
In the past, he, Fushiguro Megumi, and Kugisaki Nobara would also bicker and roast each other daily.
As for what Aqua just said about being able to exorcise Sukuna...
It didn't seem to be a lie.
Although it hadn't had any effect on Yuji Itadori, he could sense that the Magic she used bore a certain resemblance to Jujutsu.
Especially to Angel's Cursed Technique.
Perhaps even more powerful.
If Sukuna was here, he might actually be instantly killed by her.
"If I don't show you the power of a goddess, it seems you won't accept it!!!"
At this moment, Aqua was completely riled up.
She looked off into the distance. Even further away, a Giant Toad was still crouching in place, seemingly hibernating.
"Watch closely! The power of a goddess!"
She stretched her legs and started sprinting madly across the plains:
"Experience the power of a god! Obstructing my path! Repent thoroughly in hell! God Blow!"
Majestic Magic gathered on Aqua's right hand. The surrounding temperature seemed to rise, forming a scorching hurricane around her as blinding firelight burst from her fist.
"The so-called God Blow is a lethal iron fist carrying the goddess's anger and sorrow! The opponent has no choice but to die!"
Yuji Itadori carefully watched Aqua's movements. The magical energy radiating from her body seemed somewhat similar to Cursed Energy, and he could sense that her reserves were incredibly terrifying.
Just as Yuji Itadori was curious about Aqua's next move, her fist landed squarely on the Giant Toad's body!
Thud.
It made a sound like a fist hitting a trampoline.
Nothing happened.
Not even a dent was left on the Giant Toad's skin.
An awkward silence permeated the plains.
"Um, if you look closely, the Giant Toad is actually quite cute, haha."
A smile appeared on Aqua's face.
In the very next instant, the Giant Toad opened its bloody maw and swallowed Aqua in a single gulp, leaving only her two legs hanging out.
'What kind of Cursed Technique is this? Is she going to detonate it from the inside?'
Yuji Itadori gently rubbed his chin with his fingers, pondering the reason for Aqua's actions.
She couldn't possibly have really been defeated by the Giant Toad.
Meanwhile, Sato Kazuma's heart-wrenching scream rang out from the side:
"Hey, hey, hey, Aqua!!!!"
