Jujutsu Kaisen: I have everything I need now!

At the same time.

A dimensional chasm, a deep tunnel leading to the Shadow Realm.

"Aaaaaahh ...

Hisahito Itadori let out an extremely pitiful cry.

From the moment he jumped into that black vortex, his perception of his surroundings completely failed. He lost all sense of up and down, all sense of direction, and even the flow of time became extremely blurry.

All around was endless darkness.

The intense feeling of weightlessness and the immense pressure from the surrounding space made Itsuji feel as if his internal organs were about to be squeezed out.

"Hold on tight! Don't let go!"

Itachi gripped Fushiguro Megumi's arm tightly and roared.

Fukuro Megumi's situation was worse than that of Urajiro.

His face was ashen, and the dark red cracks on his cheeks and neck were not only glowing, but also beginning to emanate black mist.

The power within his body was constantly corroding him.

The weight of the entire abyss passage, and the conflicting laws from two different dimensions, all pressed down on his soul and body.

"cough......"

Fushiguro suddenly coughed up a mouthful of black blood, his body trembling violently.

"Fushiguro! Cheer up!" Itajō panicked and desperately pulled Fushiguro Megumi to his side, trying to share some of the pressure with him.

"It's no use... Itajō..." Fushiguro Megumi opened his eyes with difficulty. His left eye, which had turned dark green, revealed a deep weariness.

Mayi plummeted a few meters away from them. She clung tightly to the "Black Queen," her face ashen from lack of oxygen. She felt as if she had been thrown into the ocean thousands of meters deep without a diving suit, the surrounding pressure almost crushing her bones.

"It feels so bad..." Zhenyi gritted her teeth, her head spinning.

Just then.

A warm hand gripped Zhenyi's shoulder tightly.

With difficulty, Zhenyi turned her head and saw the first day of December.

At this time, on the first day of December, a very strange change occurred.

In this dimensional chasm connecting the two worlds, the laws of the present world have been weakened to the extreme, while the laws of the Shadowlands have not yet fully descended.

On the first day of December, he discovered that the "feeling of being watched" from the world that had been suppressing him was rapidly disappearing!

He had now fully arrived. Every inch of his skin, every strand of his hair, was filled with a real texture. He was no longer a wandering ghost, but a truly existing "person" here.

"I feel..." December looked at his hands, his eyes shining with an unprecedentedly bright light.

"My power... will no longer be subject to any limitations."

He turned his head and looked at Zhenyi, whose face was contorted in pain.

"I'm sorry you've suffered. Leave the rest to me."

On the first day of the twelfth month, he stretched out his arms, and the enormous power that had been suppressed within him surged out like a flood bursting its banks.

"A noble horse keeps me away from pain."

A dazzling, life-filled pure white light burst forth from December 1st's body, instantly illuminating the dark abyss passage.

The white light spread outwards like ripples on water, enveloping Mai, Itadori, and Fushiguro Megumi.

Zhenyi felt a warm sensation throughout her body. The spatial pressure that had almost crushed her vanished instantly, and the suffocating feeling in her lungs was swept away. She took a deep breath and felt lighter than ever before.

"I'm alive..." Zhenyi let out a long breath.

The moment Fushiguro Megumi was enveloped in the white light, his tightly furrowed brows relaxed. The cracks on his cheeks, from which black mist was constantly seeping, stopped worsening, and the restless shadow energy within his body was forcibly calmed down by the healing power of the [Horse] talisman.

"We're saved..." Itadori patted his chest heavily as he looked at Fushiguro Megumi, whose complexion had recovered somewhat.

"Don't be too happy yet." December floated up to them, his voice unusually clear in the space. "We're still halfway there. And the people who own this place don't seem to welcome us."

The words of the first day of the twelfth month had just been spoken.

The walls of the passageway, which were made of pure darkness, suddenly began to writhe violently.

"What the hell is that?" Itajimaru stared wide-eyed at the surrounding walls.

On the walls of the passage, huge pustules appeared. Then, the pustules burst open, and strangely shaped shadowy monsters crawled out of the walls.

They don't all have the same form; some look like lanternfish from the deep sea, some like fleshy chunks covered in tentacles, and some like shikigami using shadow magic, but they all exude an extremely pure malice and hunger.

"Looks like I'll have to clear out a bunch of minions before I meet the big boss." December 1st sneered, cracking his neck and making a crisp popping sound.

"roar--!"

A gigantic tentacle monster lunged at Itadori and Fushiguro Megumi from the side wall, its countless barbed tentacles lashing out like whips.

"Leave it to me!"

With a loud shout, although his body was suspended in mid-air and unable to gain any leverage, the magical power within his body had fully resumed its operation.

"Direct Court Fist!"

Tiger Rod twists his waist in mid-air and delivers a heavy punch to the tentacle that is lashing out.

The deep blue cursed power exploded the moment it touched the tentacles, and the powerful shockwave pulverized the tentacles into powder.

But even more void monsters surged in from all directions. They were numerous, and in this weightless environment, they moved at an astonishing speed.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Makoto steadied herself and raised the "Black Queen" to fire continuously.

The jet-black energy blasts exploded among the void monsters, forming vortexes that devoured them. However, these void monsters seemed to have some immunity to the shadow energy; the vortexes could only trap them for a few seconds before they broke free.

"Ordinary physical and magical attacks are ineffective against them!" Mai shouted a warning.

On the first day of the twelfth month, his hands were in his pockets, and his eyes revealed an arrogant look.

He looked ahead at a huge, shadowy python that was opening its blood-red maw, trying to devour them.

"The agile monkey makes me versatile."

On the first day of December, a strange light shone in his right eye.

He raised his hand and pointed lightly at the enormous shadow python.

"Change."

hum-

An invisible force descended instantly.

The terrifying python, over ten meters long, suddenly froze in mid-air. Then, its size rapidly shrank and deformed in an extremely absurd proportion.

"Quack?"

A sudden, abrupt croaking sound echoed through the abyss passage.

Hisahito Itadori stared wide-eyed at the scene before him in disbelief.

The menacing shadow python from before was gone. In its place was a frog no bigger than the palm of a hand.

The frog kicked its legs haphazardly in mid-air, falling down with a bewildered look on its face, landing right on Itajō's face.

"Whoa! What the hell is this?!" Itari frantically grabbed the frog off his face and pinched it hard.

With a "poof," the frog turned into a wisp of black smoke and vanished.

"You...you turned it into a frog?!" Zhenyi was stunned. She had never actually seen the full glory of the new December.

"This is the power of the [Monkey] talisman. I can turn them into anything I want." December smiled smugly.

Without the suppression of the world's laws, he could finally unleash the true terror of these twelve talismans without any restraint.

"Stop spacing out, there are still many monsters."

On the first day of the twelfth month, both hands tap in unison.

"Change! Change! Change!"

As he flicked his finger, the void monsters that lunged at him with bared teeth and claws underwent comical transformations in mid-air.

Some of them turned into a fluttering butterfly.

Some turned into turtles swimming in the air.

One enormous, fleshy monster was even transformed into a black donkey, which brayed in mid-air.

Yuujin Itadori was completely dumbfounded by the circus-like scene. He instinctively swung his fist, smashing the monsters that had turned into harmless little animals into black smoke one by one.

"This...this is too easy to fight, isn't it?" Itadori muttered to himself.

"Don't let your guard down!" Fushiguro Megumi's voice came from the side, his expression still very serious.

On the first day of December, he shook his hands.

Although the suppression of the mortal world was gone, the power of the [Monkey] talisman he used on dozens of high-energy beings in succession was slightly sluggish. He didn't know if it was because he had been suppressed for too long or because there was a new suppression in this shadow world.

"It's almost cleaned up." December 1st looked at the gradually emptying passageway and took a breath.

"We're falling faster." Mai keenly noticed the change in her surroundings.

A faint glimmer of light began to appear ahead in the once dark and distorted passage.

"Almost there."

Fushiguro Megumi closed her eyes, feeling the resonance of the power within her body.

"I can sense... the source of that extremely vast shadow energy, right behind that layer of red light. That's the true Shadow Realm."

Everyone tensed up and prepared for battle.

However, they were less than a hundred meters away from that layer of dark red light.

A sudden change occurred.

The previously calm passageway walls suddenly contracted violently.

Immediately afterwards, an extremely thick, enormous tentacle covered in black scales and strange eyes suddenly emerged from the dark red light, directly blocking their path of descent.

The oppressive aura emanating from this tentacle was ten times more terrifying than the three generals outside combined!

"What is this?!" Itadori exclaimed in surprise.

"It's the gatekeeper of the Shadow Realm!" Fukuhime's expression changed drastically. "It's preventing us from entering!"

The enormous tentacle thrashed wildly in mid-air, creating a powerful spatial storm. Anything that came near it was instantly shredded by that storm.

"We can't get through!" Zhenyi gripped the gun tightly in her hand. That level of strength was something her bullets couldn't budge.

There is no place I cannot get through.

On the first day of December, he took a deep breath and floated to the front of the line.

He stared at the enormous tentacle that stretched across the middle of the passage, his eyes filled with no fear, only a burning madness.

"Makoto, Khajiitsu, protect Fukuro."

On the first day of the twelfth lunar month, clench your fists and cross them in front of your chest.

"What are you doing?!" Zhenyi shouted.

"I said I would unleash all my power."

On the first day of the twelfth month, he suddenly raised his head, and two extremely dazzling, almost tangible golden flames burst forth from his eyes!

"The fiery heat of the pig made my eyes pierce."

This is the first time December 1st has unleashed its full power without reservation since gaining physical form and breaking free from the world's suppression!

Boom!

Two blazing beams of light, composed of intense heat and destructive energy, shot out from December 1st's eyes.

In that instant, the entire dark abyss passage was illuminated as if it were daytime by a golden-pink light!

"Aaaaaah!!!"

A heart-wrenching scream came from the bottom of the passage.

The tentacle covered in scales and eyeballs instantly vaporized the moment it came into contact with the beam of light.

The beam of light passed straight through the giant tentacle and continued its powerful impact on the dark red light barrier below.

"Snap!"

A crisp cracking sound echoed through the space.

The barrier that had blocked the endless ages of the two dimensions was blasted open by the most violent means of December New Moon!

"Hurry up!"

He roared on the first day of the twelfth month.

The moment the gap burst open, an extremely violent suction force came from below.

Before anyone could react, they were forcibly pulled into the dark red gap by the suction force, along with the surrounding darkness.

The sound of the wind in my ears disappeared.

The darkness of the passage also disappeared.

When Zhenyi opened her eyes again.

She realized she hadn't fallen to the ground.

They were floating in an extremely eerie sky.

The sky wasn't blue; instead, it was a sickly dark purple. There was no sun or moon in the sky, only nine enormous stars, each emitting a different color of light, hanging silently at the highest point.

And beneath their feet.

It was a vast, desolate land composed entirely of black rocks and dried bloodstains.

On the earth, countless enormous palaces, built from white bones and black stones, stand tall.

At the edge of the horizon, there stands the tallest and most magnificent black throne, piercing the clouds.

There is no wind, no sound, and not a trace of life here.

There was only one kind of suffocating, absolute silence.

"We...have we arrived?" Yuujin Itadori stared blankly at the scene below, his voice trembling.

Fukuguro Megumi clutched his chest. He could clearly feel that the air around him was filled with the purest shadow energy. The "seed" within him was like an infant returning to its mother's embrace, jubilantly celebrating.

Zhenyi turned her head and looked at December 1st standing next to her.

In the eyes of the new moon, the golden-pink flames had gradually died out.

He took a deep breath of the icy air in the space, a wild smile curling at the corner of his mouth.

He raised his hand, looking at his real, powerful body.

"Yes, we've arrived."
