Yuji Itadori’s pupils constricted violently.
He wanted to stop it, but he was powerless.
He had previously made a Binding Vow with Sukuna.
When Sukuna called out the words ‘Enchain,’ he could take over Yuji’s body for one minute.
The cursed markings belonging to Sukuna immediately surfaced on Yuji Itadori’s face.
At the same time, a terrifying aura erupted from his body.
Even without employing any offensive techniques, the rubble and debris in the entire area began to tremble involuntarily.
The jujutsu sorcerers and curse users hidden in the shadows felt their hair stand on end, and their necks went numb.
It was as if an invisible blade had already been pressed against their throats.
“Is this…
the presence of the King of Curses?”
The commotion from the previous battle between Uraume and Levi had been far too massive.
Aside from Yuji Itadori, many other curse users and sorcerers with their own agendas had long since arrived nearby, hiding in the shadows to observe the situation.
Now, pressured by Sukuna’s horrifying might, those the more weak-willed curse users immediately turned and fled for their lives without looking back.
Only a few, burdened with heavy responsibilities or harboring other motives, endured the fear and hid as deeply as possible in the shadows.
Their squirming silhouettes truly looked like insects crawling into dark crevices to avoid the soles of human shoes.
It was hard to say if this was the reason Sukuna referred to humans as maggots.
However, not far away, Levi didn’t even give Sukuna a glance.
He hooked his thumb into Uraume’s ear, attempting to peel back the other’s skull as if opening a tin can.
Unfortunately, the Dragon Talisman did not enhance physical strength, and he couldn’t crack open a human’s hard skull.
He had almost forgotten that he was still technically an ordinary person.
After a few failed attempts, Levi finally tossed aside Uraume’s corpse, clapped the dust off his hands, and looked up to greet Sukuna.
“Yo, the King of Curses is here.”
The sorcerers in the shadows felt their hearts skip a beat.
Even though they weren’t the ones provoking Sukuna, just imagining themselves in that situation made them break out in a cold sweat.
Does this guy want to die?
Sukuna stood in place and reached up to slick his hair back.
Slightly tilting his chin, he looked down at the man before him with indifferent eyes.
“Brat, you know my title, yet you don’t run?”
Not long ago, the collision of ice and fire had filled the streets of Shibuya with a pale mist.
The ruins of skyscrapers, frozen and then incinerated, stood tall in the hazy fog.
Sukuna’s expression was indistinct in the mist.
One could only see crimson glints of immense cursed energy burning in his eyes like ghost fires.
Levi spread his hands and said, “According to the Binding Vow between you and Yuji, when you call out ‘Enchain,’ you can unconditionally occupy Yuji Itadori’s body for one minute.”
“But the condition is…
you cannot harm or kill anyone during that minute.
Am I right?”
Only then did the people peering from the shadows understand where this mysterious man’s confidence came from.
At the same time, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
To think, Sukuna could only move freely for one minute.
And within that minute, he couldn’t even lift a finger to hurt anyone.
No wonder this person dared to provoke Sukuna to his face, showing him no respect at all.
Then, watching the situation from the shadows shouldn’t be dangerous, right?
Sukuna’s face twisted into a dark smile.
“You actually know such information?
No wonder you dare to stand before me instead of kneeling and begging through tears for a swift end.”
“Celebrate, for you get to live for one more minute.
This is the proudest moment of your life.”
Levi extended a finger with a smile.
“Don’t underestimate my intelligence network.”
“The reason you established this Binding Vow was to find an opportunity to break free from Yuji Itadori’s body, which can imprison you, and find another body for incarnation, right?”
“Even I didn’t expect that you would waste this one and only chance because of Uraume’s death.”
Levi couldn’t help but spread his arms and shout, “Who says the King of Curses doesn’t understand love!”
“Who says the strongest is lonely?!”
“Sukuna has had a companion like Uraume for a lifetime.
Not a single day went by without being surrounded by love, not a single day did he feel lonely!”
“To see Uraume one last time, he would rather discard his future freedom just to witness his death with his own eyes!”
“I am truly moved!”
“The absolute strongest, and the loneliness that comes with it.
The one who will teach you about love is…”
The people in the shadows were all shocked.
The historical records of the sorcerer clans had no mention of this Uraume.
To think that Ryomen Sukuna was actually this kind of person.
In everyone’s minds, the image of Ryomen Sukuna underwent a subtle transformation.
Sukuna’s expression was exactly like it was in the original story during the Shinjuku Showdown after defeating Satoru Gojo, when facing the endless stream of Jujutsu High members.
Expressionless.
When someone truly wants to kill another, they don’t smile.
At this moment, killing Levi was no longer a form of entertainment for Sukuna.
It was a genuine, pure killing intent fueled by hatred and curses.
Just like an ordinary human who had developed the intent to kill.
“Are you done with your nonsense?”
Sukuna spoke calmly, and his figure suddenly vanished.
Levi was startled and looked left and right, but no attack came.
He thought Sukuna was going to throw caution to the wind, violate the Binding Vow, and attack him directly.
Then, he saw Sukuna standing on the steps not far away, holding Uraume’s corpse.
Levi looked down and saw that Uraume’s body, which had been lying at his feet, had indeed disappeared.
He then saw Sukuna place his hand over Uraume’s abdomen, outputting his Reverse Cursed Technique to repair the hole in his stomach.
Levi suddenly realized what Sukuna was trying to do.
Flames erupted from the soles of his feet, followed by a thunderous explosion as he charged at Sukuna like a bullet.
However, Sukuna immediately relocated, landing on the balcony of a second-floor shop.
“Only a fool would be hit by an attack that moves in a straight line like a wild boar.”
With that, Sukuna concentrated all of his cursed energy into his pinky finger and then yanked it hard!
The little finger was torn clean off.
“Hmph.
As expected, the rule about not being allowed to harm anyone doesn’t include yourself, Yuji Itadori.”
Sukuna gave a cold laugh and shoved the pinky finger into the mouth of Uraume’s corpse.
The next moment, Yuji Itadori regained consciousness.
“Sukuna!”
Just as he cried out, Yuji Itadori was sent flying by a punch from the white-haired figure who had suddenly snapped his eyes open.
He happened to slam into Levi, who had just readjusted his direction and was charging in a straight line using an explosion.
Levi was knocked to the ground by Yuji from mid-air, and the two of them tangled together, rolling several times on the ground before stopping.
Levi pushed Yuji off him and looked toward Ryomen Sukuna standing on the second-floor balcony.
He saw that the physical body once occupied by Uraume was now occupied by Ryomen Sukuna.
The original white bob cut was swept back by Sukuna’s hand, turning into a slicked-back style, with only two strands of white bangs left hanging over his forehead.
The jet-black markings representing Ryomen Sukuna appeared on his body simultaneously, and an extra pair of eyes grew beneath his existing ones.
Sukuna looked down at Levi with all four eyes and spoke coldly.
“Now, bring me some amusement with your screams.”
“Don’t worry, you’ve completely lost the chance to die a quick death.”
