Mahoraga raised the Sword of Exorcism on his right arm and thrust it toward the massive Cursed Spirit above him.
Suddenly, a giant arm stretched out from the smoke.
To attack the Cursed Spirit above, Mahoraga had already leaped into the air without support, so he failed to dodge the arm's attack in time.
Realizing he could not avoid it, Mahoraga brought down the Sword of Exorcism he had originally raised toward the arm.
The Cursed Spirit's palm suddenly opened, and Cursed Energy condensed at its center.
Boom.
A transparent spherical attack shot out, severing Mahoraga's right arm. Then another large hand slapped him from the smoke.
Mahoraga twisted his waist, spinning his body in midair to deliver a spinning kick toward the other arm.
Boom!
A huge impact erupted at the point of collision.
Mahoraga was knocked back because he was in midair, with no support for his body.
This impact also dispersed the smoke produced by the collapse of the Gymnasium.
The scene inside the Gymnasium appeared completely before everyone's eyes.
Crackle.
The Cursed Spirit, dozens of meters tall, slowly rose.
The ruins that had fallen onto its body slid to the ground as it moved.
"So that's it. No wonder Satoru insisted on not letting Suguru continue the mission."
Seeing the colossal Cursed Spirit rise, even Eichi had to admit the charm of this Cursed Spirit.
Other Cursed Spirits were all bizarre-looking and astonishingly ugly, but this Cursed Spirit was different.
This Cursed Spirit was indeed beautiful, in a way that conformed to human aesthetics.
If one viewed the Cursed Spirit in human proportions, it possessed a perfect physique that would make even women envious.
A tall, slender figure, perfect proportions, smooth and natural lines, a delicate waist, and well-rounded, perfectly shaped legs.
The entire Cursed Spirit exuded a captivating allure, especially the perfect curves formed by its full chest and rounded hips, which made one fall for it.
Of course, this was without looking at the Cursed Spirit's head and back.
The Cursed Spirit's face still bore Tomie's likeness, but another terrifyingly distorted face grew from the position of its left ear.
Upon closer inspection, the lips on that face seemed to be constantly whispering something. It felt as if just one glance would stir one's mind and ignite endless desires.
And on the back of the Cursed Spirit's waist, a pair of white bones grew, resembling both wings and hands.
Upon these white bones, dozens of corpses hung like beautiful decorations.
The Cursed Spirit's skin was light purple, which further accentuated Tomie's demonic charm.
Even Eichi felt a massive surge of desire in his heart the first time he saw this Cursed Spirit.
Fortunately, Mahoraga had adapted to this ability before, and Eichi promptly used the solution provided by Mahoraga to mitigate the influence.
"Has she gotten stronger again?"
The reason he said this was because Eichi found that he could not completely shake off Tomie's influence.
If Tomie's strength had not changed significantly from before, the solution provided by Mahoraga should have been enough to ensure Eichi remained unaffected.
So Eichi immediately concluded that Tomie had become even stronger than before.
After absorbing and fusing with over a hundred Tomies, as well as numerous humans and Jujutsu Sorcerers, she completed a transformation from quantitative change to qualitative change.
"Hahaha, good, excellent. Display your full power, dominate and plunder everything with desire, Tomie!"
On the other side, Kenjaku's eyes widened as he looked excitedly at the enormous Cursed Spirit radiating demonic charm before him.
"Oh no, I almost got sucked in."
The moment Kenjaku moved toward Tomie, a chill suddenly appeared in his mind.
"She has grown to this extent. How terrifying, how terrifying."
Although he said it was terrifying, Kenjaku was smiling happily, even somewhat maniacally.
He reached into his voluminous robe and pulled out a magatama.
"It seems this Cursed Object won't last much longer."
This magatama was a Cursed Object capable of protecting one's sanity and preventing one from being tempted and influenced by evil.
Kenjaku had always carried it with him when interacting with Tomie, ensuring he would not truly be dominated by her.
This was also why Kenjaku had repeatedly shown great desire toward Tomie but had never succumbed.
Now, cracks had appeared on this magatama.
Clearly, this Cursed Object would not be able to withstand the influence of Tomie's qualitatively changed ability for much longer.
But Kenjaku showed no worry, only joy.
Wasn't this what he had hoped for, a newborn chaos beyond his control?
What kind of existence would be born when countless desires were gathered together?
"I really want to see it."
On the other side, Eichi had also assessed the situation of this Cursed Spirit, Tomie.
"Have those people been infected by Tomie and become part of her?"
Eichi frowned as he looked at the bone wings growing from Tomie's waist. He recognized many of the people hanging on the bone wings.
They were the Jujutsu Sorcerers and Assistant Supervisors who had previously gone missing from the Jujutsu World.
Just then, one of the corpses hanging on the bone wings moved.
The next second, over a dozen giant Shikigami appeared around Cursed Spirit Tomie.
The Cursed Energy contained within these Shikigami was so immense it was almost overflowing.
Over a dozen shark Shikigami swam rapidly through the air, baring their sharp teeth at Mahoraga.
The Ten Shadows Treasure Wheel above Eichi's head rotated, and the bodies of Tiger Funeral and Nue turned pitch black, then merged into one like two puddles of ink.
Chimera: Tiger Eagle.
With Eichi fully injecting Cursed Energy, a giant Shikigami with a wingspan of a hundred meters appeared.
Countless bolts of lightning struck the shark Shikigami in the air.
Another corpse on the bone wings moved.
A transparent wall appeared out of thin air, blocking all of Tiger Eagle's lightning.
"Tsk, I never saw you use your Cursed Techniques this powerfully when you were alive."
Eichi was speechless. He was considering whether to use his last Command Spell to teleport a Heroic Spirit to his side.
Temporary Heroic Spirits could not leave the Domain, and his Shikigami were mostly restrained by Kenjaku. If things continued like this, even if he won, it would cause immense destruction to the surroundings.
Such things should be avoided if possible.
Just as Eichi was considering whether to use a Command Spell to transfer a Heroic Spirit or summon a Spirit Origin Shadow, a person suddenly walked into Eichi's Domain.
Since Throne of Heroes was an open Domain, lacking a sealed outer shell, the figure easily walked in.
Eichi's gaze fell upon the figure whose face he could not discern, and he felt a sense of familiarity.
Kenjaku also saw the figure who had suddenly intruded into Eichi's Domain.
Although he could not see her face clearly, Kenjaku recognized the Cursed Energy at a glance. It was the person Kenjaku had often dreamed of these past few days.
Tomie.
"In that case, let me help you."
Kenjaku crushed the second barrier in his hand, and once again, a large number of Cursed Spirits surged out from a barrier no bigger than a fist.
Under Kenjaku's command, a large number of Cursed Spirits charged into Eichi's Domain with the aura of a Japanese Imperial Army banzai charge.
Eichi merely glanced at Kenjaku's actions before ignoring him, narrowing his eyes and trying to make out the newcomer's appearance.
For some reason, he felt his heartbeat accelerating, and the face of the person before him became increasingly clear.
Ding.
Medea struck the ground with her staff, and over a dozen magic bullets converged behind her, aiming at the figure who had already ascended the steps of the Throne.
"Wait a moment."
Eichi suddenly rose in surprise, stopping Medea's action.
The figure took this opportunity to rush onto the Throne.
Psh.
A hand pierced Eichi's chest.
"...Why?"
