In a winery on the outskirts of Tokyo, Yuta, carrying a katana, ignored the security guards trying to stop him and searched the entire winery on his own.
"Who's this kid? Outsiders aren't allowed here."
When the two security guards saw Yuta, they immediately stepped forward to stop him.
Ever since the winery's red wine became a bestseller, the winery owner had raised the winery's security level.
He had even hired several outside security guards to protect his secrets around the clock and keep them from being leaked.
However, the moment the two security guards reached Yuta, they suddenly collapsed, their eyes vacant.
Snores came from the two fallen security guards.
Soon, Yuta arrived at the winery owner's office.
There, he saw the owner and his son, both of whom had undergone Tomie's transformation.
"I'll leave the rest to you."
Yuta nodded toward the empty space beside him.
The next moment, a young girl wearing a dark blue kimono with a jacket over it appeared beside Yuta.
"Leave it to me."
After speaking, the girl's pupils transformed into rainbow-colored Mystic Eyes.
Ryougi Shiki, a Heroic Spirit summoned as an Assassin, possessed the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception.
The Mystic Eyes of Death Perception were an extremely powerful ability even in the Type-Moon world.
They were not magecraft or magic, but a supernatural ability.
Ryougi Shiki established a connection with the Root during a near-death experience and awakened this ability after understanding the concept of death.
After awakening this ability, Ryougi Shiki could see "lines of death," which resembled cracks on the surface of most existences. By cutting along these lines, she could inflict wounds that ignored defense and could not be healed.
As long as the concept of death existed, Ryougi Shiki could kill it.
Her famous line, "If it lives, I'll kill even a god for you!" left a deep impression on countless people.
Moreover, in her original world, Ryougi Shiki not only had a complete series of novels, but also the film series The Garden of Sinners.
Therefore, the Illusion Power to summon Ryougi Shiki had been accumulated years ago, just waiting for the moment when Senpai Shiki needed to appear.
Now, when Tomie, an existence that was extremely difficult to kill, reappeared, Eichi chose to summon Ryougi Shiki to end her.
Accompanied by a cold glint, a blood-red flower bloomed on Tomie's body.
"Why?"
Under Tomie's disbelieving gaze, her life force rapidly disappeared, all from a mere scratch by a short blade like a dagger.
Ignoring the two Tomies lying on the ground, dead with their eyes wide open, Ryougi Shiki and Yuta were led by Hassan of the Hundred Faces to the underground wine cellar.
"What a disgusting sight."
Ryougi Shiki frowned as she looked at the nauseating scene before her with revulsion.
"I'll handle this for now. Once Tomie appears, I'll have to trouble you, Senpai Ryougi."
After speaking, Yuta put away his katana and took a long blade burning with fierce flames from Rika's hand.
The few Hassans present exchanged glances, then took all the ordinary people in the winery who had fallen into a deep sleep away together with Rika.
"What exactly happened?"
The main body of Tomie in the distance sensed the disappearance of one clone after another in disbelief.
To avoid being completely annihilated by terrifying attacks like before, Tomie had mostly hidden in densely populated areas this time.
Even so, numerous Tomies were still disappearing at an extremely fast rate.
It could even be said that they were dying silently.
This unknown situation made Tomie feel fear for the first time.
"I have to figure out what happened."
Under her command, the other Tomies began to gather and soon discovered Ryougi Shiki's existence.
"What is wrong with that woman?!"
Crash.
Even ordinary people could tell that Tomie had swept the expensive vase to the floor.
"Kill her. She must be killed."
Soon, Curse Users, assassins, and even Japanese agents loyal to Tomie were all dispatched...
Tokyo Jujutsu High, Tombs of the Star Corridor.
"Have they all gathered? That saves us a lot of trouble."
Medea and Eichi immediately began to assess the situation in various places after returning to the Tombs of the Star Corridor.
Three out of the four Pillars of Heaven that appeared across the country had already been dealt with. Now only one remained in Kyoto.
The incident at Shibuya Station had been resolved. The ordinary people had merely been frightened, and a few had accidentally sprained their ankles.
Suguru had already brought all the Curse Users and Cursed Spirits under control.
However, Kenjaku was not found among these people.
To prevent Kenjaku from escaping by blending in with the ordinary people, Eichi repeatedly checked the crowd detected as ordinary people in the imaginary worlds.
In the end, Kenjaku was still nowhere to be found.
In addition, there was also bad news. Sukuna had disappeared after taking control of Yuji's body.
"Medea, use the Window to pull all Tomies and infected individuals into the imaginary world, then have Yuta and Ryougi Shiki deal with them."
After speaking, Eichi immediately turned and left.
Originally, Eichi had not thought much of it when he heard that Satoru had already gone to Kyoto.
But now, Sukuna and Kenjaku's disappearance left him with a sense of unease.
"Also, inform Suguru that Gojo might be in danger, and tell him to head to Kyoto immediately for support after dealing with the Curse Users and Cursed Spirits."
After speaking, Eichi left the Tombs of the Star Corridor, took Artoria with him, and boarded Qiongqi, preparing to rush to Kyoto at the fastest speed possible.
"Wait a moment, Eichi-sensei."
Just as Qiongqi began to flap its wings, Megumi and Nobara appeared before the two of them.
"Please let us go too. We have to bring Yuji back."
Megumi and Nobara's eyes were filled with determination.
"...I understand. You will depart with Choso and the others."
After speaking, Qiongqi soared into the sky under Eichi's control.
Soon, another motorcade left Tokyo Jujutsu High at extremely high speed, heading toward Kyoto.
These were the elites of the Tokyo Branch and Tokyo Jujutsu High.
"Heh heh, what is that Kenjaku guy trying to do, mock me?"
Yuji-Sukuna looked at the Sokushinbutsu placed on the rooftop with an annoyed expression.
"No, this method feels more like Tengen."
Casually picking up his Sokushinbutsu and observing it for a moment, Sukuna quickly lost interest and turned to look at the nearby table.
On the table, Sukuna's fingers, Special Grade Cursed Objects, were neatly arranged, along with... toes.
However, Sukuna ate them one by one without changing his expression.
For Sukuna, who had often consumed humans during his lifetime, eating toes was certainly nothing new.
"Even my soul's power has recovered? It seems that brain-head is quite capable."
Sukuna's mouth twisted into a sinister grin.
"Hey, let's go. We have to kill all those annoying guys."
The feeling of having his power fully restored was so wonderful that Sukuna could not wait to go on a killing spree to celebrate.
However, he did not act directly in Nagoya. Instead, he waited along the essential route to Kyoto.
Following behind him were two Cursed Spirits exuding terrifying auras, left behind by Kenjaku.
"These two Cursed Spirits are more interesting than that volcano-head."
