Jujutsu Kaisen: I have everything I need now!

General Cabo's voice was like the pronouncement of death.

Its body transformed into a green pillar of light that pierced through the heavens and earth, cutting through the air and the ground, sweeping towards the location where December 1st and Zhenyi were.

"Mai, don't shoot! Don't defend yourself!"

He suddenly shouted on the first day of December.

Mayi froze. Faced with an attack of this level, they would be instantly cut in half if they didn't defend themselves. But out of absolute trust in December, she abruptly stopped her finger from pulling the trigger and even put down the gun.

The moment the green beam of light was about to touch them.

December 1st suddenly took a step forward, blocking Zhenyi's path. He did not use a psychic shield, nor did he employ any defensive means.

"The swift rabbit makes me transcend time."

A blinding silver-white light burst forth from December 1st's eyes.

Within 0.01 seconds of the green beam of light cutting through his body.

The speed of the new moon in December exceeded the limits of physics.

To outsiders, the green beam of light appeared to pierce right through December 1st's body.

General Cabo appeared a few dozen meters behind them. It slowly stood up, the short blade in its hand hanging low.

"It's over," it said coldly.

But when it turned its head, its compound eyes under its mask suddenly contracted.

He was still standing there on the first day of December. His clothes were completely unharmed.

General Cabo remained silent, gripping its short blade tightly, preparing to attack again.

"What do you think I'm standing here taking this hit from you for?"

On the first day of the twelfth month, a cold smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

He suddenly raised his right hand, his palm tightly gripping something.

It was a black fragment of carapace.

Just as the beam of light pierced his body, he used his extreme speed to tear a fragment of exoskeleton from General Cabo's body.

"Wild Rose!" December 1st roared with all his might.

On the boulder, December 1st had been using the [Horse] talisman to heal Kugisaki Nobara. Although the process was slow, it was beginning to show results.

She struggled to stand up. In her hand she held a long nail stained with her own blood.

She looked at the black shell held high on the first day of December.

"Leave it to me!"

Kugizaki plunged the long nail deep into his injured palm.

The nail pierced her palm, splattering blood everywhere. But she seemed to feel no pain; the magical power within her body flowed along with the blood, pouring into the nail without reservation.

"Spirit Spell - [Resonance]!"

Kugisaki let out a mournful roar and gripped the long nail that had pierced his palm tightly.

"Snap!"

The black shell in December's hand shattered instantly.

at the same time.

General Cabo, standing at a distance, suddenly stiffened.

A deep crack suddenly appeared on the exquisite mask on its face. Immediately afterward, an extremely violent dark red cursed power exploded directly within its body.

"Aaaaaahh ...

General Cabo let out an extremely painful scream. Its pride and joy, its ultimate speed, came to a complete halt at that moment. This attack, which directly affected its soul and core, caused it to briefly lose control of its body.

"Now! Mai!"

On the first day of December, he turned around and shouted loudly.

Zhenyi did not hesitate at all.

She had already begun charging up the moment General Cabo launched his attack. Now, the energy in the Black Queen's barrel had reached an extremely terrifying critical point.

She gripped the gun with both hands, aiming at the crack in General Cabo's mask.

"Go to hell, you bug."

Mayu pulled the trigger.

"boom--!!!"

The immense recoil sent Mayu flying backward, crashing heavily onto the sand. Her arm bones cracked under the strain.

A projectile, larger than any before and composed entirely of extremely dense black shadow energy, burst forth from the muzzle.

As the shell flew, it sucked out all the surrounding air, creating a small vacuum zone.

General Cabo watched the approaching black shell and tried to dodge, but the backlash from the "resonance" within him prevented him from moving an inch.

"No...I am..."

The black shell struck General Cabo hard.

In an instant, the mask carved with a sickle totem shattered completely upon contact with the shell, like fragile glass.

The moment the mask shattered.

The entire microscopic world's barrier has lost its core support.

"Click...click click click..."

The surrounding sky, the huge gravel, and the mossy forest in the distance began to show dense cracks.

The crack expanded rapidly, eventually...

"Splash!"

The entire microscopic world is like a shattered mirror, collapsing with a deafening roar.

On the first day of December, I felt a bright white light flash before my eyes.

When his vision returned to normal.

They have returned to the main hall of the botanical garden.

All around were normal-sized palm trees and ferns. Above was a glass dome that let in the city lights. Gone was that suffocating microscopic air, gone were those monstrous, sky-obscuring figures.

Yuta Otsuki, Maki, and Nobara Kugizaki lay sprawled on the tiled floor of the hall.

Zhenyi lay not far from him, her hands hanging limply at her sides, while the "Black Queen" lay a few meters away.

On the first day of the twelfth month, they bowed their heads.

His body became translucent again. He could feel his power returning to that ghostly state of being rejected by the world.

"It's turned back again..." December 1st murmured to himself.

About ten meters in front of them.

The spot where General Cabo once stood has been turned into a pool of black water.

In the center of that pool of black water lay a black mask, devoid of any luster and cracked in the middle.

The mask has been successfully retrieved.

On the first day of the twelfth month, it floated to the mask and picked it up with its telekinetic powers.

He looked at the mask in his hand, then turned to look at Zhenyi lying on the ground.

Although Zhenyi was pale and her arms were in excruciating pain, she still managed a weak smile as she watched the new moon turn back into a semi-transparent phantom.

On the first day of December, he shook his head helplessly.

"Are you alright?"

He walked to Zhenyi's side, and a milky white light shone from his hand.

Yi Gu You Tai barely managed to prop himself up. He glanced around to confirm that they had returned to the real world, and let out a long sigh of relief.

"Is everyone... alright?" Yigu's voice was very hoarse.

Maki leaned against the trunk of an ornamental tree, covering the wound on her arm with her hand, and gave a wry smile: "I won't die for now. But Wild Rose's condition might not be so good."

Kugizaki remained lying on the ground, her injuries now under the control of the talisman's power. However, she had fallen into a coma. The continuous use of the highest intensity "Resonance" had severely damaged her mental state.

"Mr. Ijichi should be outside." Otsuko took out his phone; although the screen was broken during the battle, it was still usable.

A dozen minutes later.

A large number of auxiliary supervisors and medical personnel rushed into the botanical garden.

They carried the seriously injured Kugizaki onto a stretcher. Although Otoko Yuta was also injured, he insisted on walking out on his own.

Zhenyi refused the stretcher. She gritted her teeth and stood up with the help of the medical staff.

Before leaving the hall, she glanced back at the first day of December.

December 1st did not follow. He stood beside the pool of black water, his brow furrowed.

"What's wrong?" Zhenyi asked in her heart.

On the first day of the twelfth month, he raised his head, his eyes revealing an unprecedented solemnity.

"The energy within this mask... is empty."

"Empty?" Zhenyi was taken aback. "What do you mean? Didn't we just fight it?"

"It's maintaining the barrier, and it's also consuming energy. But..." December looked at the mask in her hand, "The moment we shattered it, it seemed as if some kind of force had drained away the remaining primal power within it."

On the first day of December, I turned my head and looked at the hard tiled floor beneath my feet.

His gaze seemed to pierce through the earth's layers, looking into the deepest underground network of Tokyo.

"That monster from the Shadow Eater underground..." December's voice was cold. "It's even started devouring the primal power of its own kind. The moment General Cabo died, its power was sucked away by that monster from afar."

Zhenyi's pupils contracted slightly.

"ha?"

"It's no longer content with just developing." December New Year casually tossed the half-broken mask into the trash can next to him.

"It has begun to actively facilitate 'integration.' It is accelerating the opening of the door."

"It's coming out."

……

At the same time.

Tokyo Higher Vocational School, underground sealing room.

Fukuro Megumi sat cross-legged on the ground, surrounded by various talismans.

His eyes were closed, the dark red cracks on his cheeks gleaming faintly in the darkness. He stretched his shadow infinitely downwards, following the ley lines of the high school, all the way into Tokyo's underground network.

He is searching for the core of the Shadow Eater Clan.

Sudden.

Fushiguro suddenly opened her eyes.

Those deep, dark eyes were bloodshot with shock and fear.

"Fukuguro! Did you find it?" Hisahito Itadori, who had been standing guard nearby, immediately came over.

Fukuro Megumi was panting heavily, gripping Itadori's arm so tightly that his nails almost dug into Itadori's flesh. His voice was terribly hoarse, as if he had witnessed something extremely horrifying.

"The core is gone!!!"

"What do you mean?" Itajō asked, completely bewildered. "Fukuhiro. Without the core, does that mean we're out of the game?"

"It became a door, a door to the Land of Shadows."

Fushiguro Megumi raised her head and stared despairingly at the basement ceiling.

Just as Fushiguro Megumi finished speaking.

"BOOM!!!"

A muffled roar came from the ground, and the earth began to tremble. Black mist rose from every shadow and quickly spread towards the sky.

Within minutes, the Tokyo night sky was completely obscured by a thick layer of dark clouds. Not even a glimmer of starlight or the city's neon lights could penetrate.

The gates of the abyss have been opened.
