Chapter 26 - Chapter 26

Hidden inventory arc part 2

Within the hidden mountains of the Kamo Clan estate Kamo Renji or the person controlling the body kenjaku, walked into a concealment barrier to stare at a coven sealed with the body of an ancient sorcerer preserved well.

Renji:"why does Kaori need the curse energy core of the body of Zenin Tsurugi , maybe to create another womb death painting ."

Renji's thoughts:

"if that is the case then one perfect for sukuna as a back up vessel, with his finger sealed until the culling game and then maybe parts of a heavenly restriction user, made into a cursed object heart that will be replaced with the vessel to then remove curse energy naturally but that energy ..will be placed into a seal that will store all the curse energy until when using idle transfiguration to remove the curse energy ,seal and restriction while keeping the physical strength and curse technique ."

Renji began to cut open the stomach to see lightly flashing orb then removed it,and placed it into a bag then closed the tomb and left the mountain.

A few days later..

Flash back..

Kai:"so this is the curse energy core right of Zenin Tsurugi of the Keicho era."

Kaori:"yes he was my vessel at the time and I had plans for his body but with you , thoese plans can no longer come to light but now since you have this I want to see what you will do with it."

Kai held the orb and the pendant around his neck and removed it to then use domain projection on both, he slowly shaped the outline of the orb to match that of the pendant and within the realm of the soul.. the innate domain of the pendant changed into an endless abyss with ten seals with distinct sigils of shikigami.

Without wasting time Kai used a binding vow to permanently fuse the two divine dogs.. into a Divine-werewolf with the process taking over a year to complete.

Kai then smiled as he knew the process of true Totality will take a over 12 months to complete.

Kai then sent curse energy into the pendant then let himself fall back.. and before his body made contact with the ground his figure sank into the shadows .

Kaori:"the ten shadows technique, so you made a curse tool with an imbued technique

Kai appeared right behind Kaori with his palm on the centre of her back showing her that he is a threat.

Kai:" yea pretty much , it's something I discovered I could do."

Kaori:"maybe making a binding vow with you was the right call , I'm guessing you won't tell me the process of how you did it."

Kai:" you would be correct on that because your dangerous as it is , using all your pasted vessels to make countless curse tools ..would make you and even bringer threat then you are but I could I tell you how for another binding vow ."

Kaori:"your more scheming then I have you credit for , I will think about it but for now tell me what are the restrictions on the technique imbued on that curse tool."

Kai:"the same restrictions a ten shadows user would naturally have ."

Kaori:"the first lesson shall begin the next time we meet for now we should leave this place."

Flash back end..

Back at the hidden training ground of toji..

Kai:"should I just summon mahoraga to a subjugation ritual to test out his strength."

Kai:" this is a really stupid idea fighting mahoraga when I have nowhere near the special grade output attack needed to one shot him , could literally be the end of me and the fact I'm currently alone with no curse tools, but fuck it we ball."

A row of totality wolves howled towards the sky and the ground became covered in shadow mist, with humanoid frogs on one knee as the faint white cocoon started to creak apart as the head with four small wings in place for eyes was revealed first.

"With this sacred treasure I summon ..Eight handled Sword, Divergent Sila Divine General."

Kai:"Mahoraga."

The long tail attached to the head with the large 10ft tall body with the signature Darma chakra wheel, above it's head with the ancient sword of extermination on it right arm and a wide grin.

With a creak of the ground the arm with the sword swing down to cut Kai im half, but he used domain projection to imbue curse energy reinforcement onto his own soul, then lifted his arms into an x shape above his head to take the impact.

Boom..

The ground shattered from the impact.

Kai:"That speed is at the level of a heavenly restriction and physicals."

Shing..

Kai:"yea , your the special grade gate keeper alright ."

Kai spoke with gritted teeth as he was forced onto the ground on one knee with blood leaking from the missing arms,A drop of blood flowed down as the rest was instantly forming into new arms of blood that visible gained skin and the drop of blood now on the edge of his elbow ..But in the same time that the first and only drop of blood reflected of the visible pupils of Kai and hit the ground.

In that same moment space distorted with thin interwoven lines on the same arm of mahoraga.

Shing..

Kai already healed his arm with Reverse Curse Technique at low output ,then the arm with the sword of extermination fell to the ground ,after Kai's blood imbued with his curse technique Cleave activated.

Thud..

Tink..

Kai:" the equivalent of 50 Cleaves at once just to remove a limb."

Kai watched as it was his most precise and highest control ,of Cleave of over lapping slashes in a thin line instead of grids.

Tink..

Kai:"it would be impossible to even damage him ,much if my curse technique refinement was not so high."

Tink..

Kai watched the blood of mahoraga pour on the ground for a few seconds before the wheel, completed a spin then the blood completely stopped blocked by curse energy.

Spin..

Kai:" mind you, I have special grade 8 level curse energy reserves but I guess my version of shrine is far less powerful then sukuna, which means far inferior to yuji but mine makes up for that in its effect and it's conceptual ties with space."

Tink..

Kai used Subtraction-Sorcery to cast a technique without incantation ,chant or handsign ..it's a divine level feat since all sorcerers need further steps in order to use jujitsu, but when a sorcerer has refined their curse technique to the peak or their understanding of jujitsu has reached the peak , then use their technique at the standard output becomes possible without any added steps , with the advantage that the target can not see the spark of curse energy from the user since it becomes instant.

Mahoraga moved breaking the sound barrier to kick Kai in the chest ,but he shifted his weight and parried the blow to reduce impact.

Ahh..

Kai was sent flying from the remaining force with part of his rib cage caving in, but was quickly healed with Reverse Curse Technique ..then Kai while rotating using the momentum to land a kick towards mahoraga chasing after him at it's slowly healing arm.

But Kai was still launched from the overwhelming strength of mahoraga.. hit against from the stump of the missing arm.

Lacerate..

A crescent arch of blood hit the regenerating arm of mahoraga causing the healing to stop instantly.

Tink..

The body of Kai moved fast towards a tree then before making contact he sank into its shadow .

Then running Reverse Curse technique at maximum output since it is impossible for a sorcerer to use this much positive energy, while using negative energy at the same time like curse techniques but Kai is a genius despite not having enough control to use it in combat .. he can still use enough to hide within the shadows to give enough time to fully heal then return to combat.

Mahoraga was standing in a battle stance with its wide grin waiting for a sorcerer ,that it sensed did not have the ten shadows technique yet could still use it.

Kai:"the key to beating you ,is forcing you to adapt to many phonemena at the same time."

Kai spoke to himself while in the endless abyss of the shadows while thinking.

Kai's thoughts:

"With my Cleave he will be first adapting to slashing then spatial phonemena, with Lacerate he will be now forced to adapt to blood and the ironising curse energy stopping him from regenerating, so now he is forced to pick 1 out of the 4 to adapt to first but I want to have fun with this and actually see how strong I am before I kill him.

Mahoraga was standing looking around for Kai without knowing where he left since his curse energy signature disappeared .

Tink..

Kai didn't give him any more time and leapt out of mahoraga shadow into the air above him and chanted .

Cleave :Repeal..

The force of space crushed mahoraga underneath a grid of slashes as it slammed into the ground .

But mahoraga resistance had increased with it pushing back part of the force.

Then he slowly appeared in the distance after stepping out the shadows .. Kai smiled at the current situation that would lead to his experiment.

Tink..

The dust cleared as mahoraga appeared with its body.. slowly shifting form with the debris from the crushed ground beneath.

Kai:" okay so which adaption will it be , I used Cleave again so will u now focus on it first before the others or ignore it and heal your arm ."

Tink..

Kai:" my chanting has reached a whole new level, by use Subtraction-Sorcery to replicate the same intent of when I chant specific conditions for my technique, so basically the concept of an extension technique by using my experience of Blood Control."

With a burst of speed mahoraga rushed towards Kai as he closed his eyes and dodged a punch to the side , by sinking partly into the shadows then kicked into the shadows with his leg coming out, mahoraga own shadow to hit his leg disrupting his stance and momentum.

Kai flooded a large amount of blood to his leg ,and made blood armour then reinforced it with curse energy into the kick.

Tink..

then dropped into a half backhand spring and sank into the shadows to avoid a push kick from mahoraga .

Tink..

Kai was currently pushing the flow of his blood to guide his curse energy to advance his movements to reflexively react.. by focusing all his reinforcement in his upper or lower body for speed and attack.

Kai:"I'm literally learning how to inter-grate shadow manipulation into my hand to hand combat."

Spin..

then into a kep up kick out of mahoraga shadow into its core pushing him back a step .

Tink..

he managed to block in time while Kai landed with a flash kick backflip on the ground and opened his eyes with a crimson flash .

Shing..

The body of mahoraga began to slide to the side from the clean cut across the torso only for it to stop as Kai grinned.

Absolute Dismantle..

Kai used a flowing chain of a thousand dismantles to fuse into one single spatial slash, with instantaneous speed almost teleporting in front of mahoraga and having the output to slice it.

Kai:" I used 1% of my reserves to do that so about 1000 standard output dismantles ."

Kai's thoughts:

" Absolute Dismantle is an extension technique to counter the techniques innate weakness of fixed output, with this technique it technically becomes a thousand dismantles perfectly stacked and over lapping over each other , but under the condition that it takes a preset path in exchange it's speed allows it to appear instantly at the end of its set path, and the damage output is increased based on the user's output since curse energy reinforcement is imbued on to the dismantles to become one."

And extremely thin line cut the space for over a few kilometres into the distance with time standing still before it returned , with everything that was slice even the air pressure itself fell apart with a large curse energy explosion from everything thing sliced.

The body of mahoraga turned into blood as the explosion was explosive sharp curse energy that slashed up everything into dust.

Kai:" looks like he adapted to being slashed then."

The shell on the ground after the dust and smoke cleared started spinning rapidly.

From a cell to a drop of blood then a whole body The body began regenerating back into the form of the divine general , with the Darma Chakra wheel finally stopping when the sword of extermination manifesting into place.

Clink..

The sacred treasure of the Zenin Clan's Ten shadows technique the Divine Shikigami, Mahoraga technique Adaption to any and all Phonemena has it's initial stages of adaptation with the first being complete resistance to the concept of a technique .. meaning no matter the amount of slashes the divine general has now become impervious to effects of bisection.

Kai:" okay so with less to adapt too the process is faster , okay this is good alright then I think I have all that I need to know."

Tink..

Dismantle:repeal..

Dispite the force pushing the fist of Mahoraga the punch resisted the space ..and shattered it pushing Kai a distance away showing ,the might of its physical ability has reached a new level.

Kai:"then I can practice my hand to hand combat with my techniques along with it."

Tink..

With a grin on his face kai accelerates his own heart along with his thoughts and expands his senses , muscle tension all to the extreme as all the blood and curse energy begins to flow.. into every muscle organ and bone in his body.

The body of Kai began to glow as every vain on his body became visible and even ,the outline of the skeleton as well glowed crimson from all the blood curse energy reinforcing his body.

Tink..

Mahoraga swung is sword arm down only for Kai to twist into a corkscrew avoiding it effortlessly, as his perception slowed to a crawl with even his subconscious instincts taking over allowing him to perfectly react with his slowed perception.

Kai:" understand normal conditions your speed far surpasses mine but that's the thing I'm not normal, with this I can see every movement and react to it before you even commit by using my eyes to watch the flow of blood in your body."

Tink..

Within his eyes Kai watching the blade move inches passed his nose with his expressionless face from his point of view, the world is different shades of crimson with the sword being a bright orange because of the positive energy with the body of the shikigami being almost non existent, but Kai can see all the blood within mahoraga.

Kai:"your adaptability is inconsistent."

In a lazy spoken tone Kai Kurai the first sorcerer in history to truly see through the curse technique of the Divine General ..and figure out that it's adaption is merely first gaining a stronger and stronger resistance, to the harmful curse technique then curse energy.

Lacerate..

 Crimson slash of blood appeared in front of mahoraga ..then with the physical impact timed perfectly the blood exploded, with the space harmonised together with white light and blue lightning as Kai felt the high that only he in history can now solely experience.

White Flash..

Kai's control over curse energy reached a near level specifically of imbuing atmospheric curse energy.. with his own curse energy and turning it directly into blood rapidly form a slash of blood by pushing , the skill of Subtraction-Sorcery to the limit now having removed the weakness of speed of Lacerate.

The 350% damage from the positive en reinforcing the attack and the 240% increase to his potential, Kai felt the state of enlightenment as negative and positive curse energy flowed perfectly at the same time in his body.

Kai also felt a rapid increase of his curse energy recovery after the white flash landed on mahoraga,the effects of having its blood turned into positive curse energy then transferred to Kai boosting his curse energy recovery.

Kai:" so that's my technique reversal of blood control, that I can siphon the blood of others and turn it into my own curse energy super charging my curse energy recovery rate for a period of time .. and it also feels like this can be stacked so basically I have become the equivalent of Satoru Gojo with the six eyes .

Tink..

Kai's thoughts:

" normally using a reversal technique is taxing on curse energy since it needs double the output, but in my case I just the overflowing positive energy from the white flash as a medium.. with the added damage output making sure to one shot anything below grade 1 and absorb the blood into positive energy, which increases the rate of my recovery 120% with an extra benefit since to use lacerate .. I only need half as much curse energy imbued into the existing atmospheric curse energy , a true perfect use of jujitsu with all its complexity and skill in combat."

Mahoraga with its slowly body now missing with blood pouring out on the ground as the flesh and muscles began moving and regenerating faster now.

Tink..

Kai only stood still with his eyes closed fully in traced in the feeling of enlightenment without carrying about mahoraga.

Mahoraga pushed itself towards Kai wit force as it legs full manifest by the time it reached Kai launching blows , and slashing with it sword using positive energy to damage Kai curse spirit physiology.

Tink..

But with his eyes closed kai effortlessly dodged the first blow then imbuing his curse energy .. into the air around his chest instant forming a blood shield that on contact withe the sword of extermination , exploded to counteract the force of it as Kai gained the second to sink into the shadows and kick mahoraga from behind.

Spin..

In the moment Kai appeared out the shadow of mahoruas the body of mahoraga was flunk back by the force of kai kick , a slash of blood manifested besides it and exploded on impact with white light and blue lightning appearing for the second time.

White flash..

Clink..

This time around it adapted to explosive curse energy and regenerated near instantly catching kai mid air for an attack, now unable to use the shadows mid air to sink into Kai did something else using the state of enlightenment he as currently feeling.

 trying to use the time that Kai now longer had contact with the ground to land a blow , mahoraga sword sliced the side of Kai next after piercing through a shield of blood in its trajectory.. in that slight delay Kai's foot stepped on the air itself as space distorted using Tiny Dismantle Repeals in combination, with his Reversal Bind Technique to make a temporary platform to step on .

With a burst of speed to get away from the sword with curse energy in the atmosphere instantly glowing white, with the blood in his body to heal the cut perfectly without a trace.

Kai:" using positive curse energy like that is incredibly difficult honestly this is one of my highest control of curse energy manipulation, by using the same principle of imbuing my curse energy into the atmospheric curse energy and rotating it to create positive curse energy.. to heal myself even tho the output right now it's of my refinement of this level of jujitsu is extremely low but in the future , it will allow me to become immortal in battle regenerating at the second of my body taking damage."

Kai:" creating an extension technique on the fly , this is the reason why I wanted to battle you because only in battle is my mind free ..from all my genius and the endless thoughts and ideas racing through my head."

Kai's thoughts :

"I'll call it Sky:repeal, using the dismantles on the air to step on them like a physical surface.. with my curse energy reserves actually increased by 0,5% from all the white flashes I have hit up untill this point so like 10 of them , meaning 200 would be 10% increase to my curse energy reserves which it may not sound like much ..but 10% of mine is the equivalent of a special grade 1 curse spirit which is an insane amount and would be useful to keep in mind, but that might take 10 years to achieve that meaning by the time I'm a first year student so that works out perfectly in my favour.. the path to becoming the strongest is truly fun I don't understand the issues of Satoru and sukuna in the manga I more so agree with kenjaku, how could you be upset about being the strongest when their is so many possibilities with curse energy."

Mahoraga moved again to kick towards Kai as he sank into the shadows but mahoraga turned back, waiting for Kai to appear out its own shadow but instead a crimson slash of blood did, as it was not prepared and was it in the head as it exploded but this time no white sparks .. with the returning grinning face of mahoraga behind the smoke .

Tink..

Kai:"yea controlling the timing of impact and explosion from a distance is still impossible for the current me."

Kai thought as he watched mahoraga from the mountain .. a 1000 meters away with his hand on his chin stroking his imaginary beard.

Mahoraga grin froze as its moment to aura farm was ruined at the target it was fighting was no longer there , it turned to look around frantically with bursts of speed untill kai took a deep breathe then sprinted at full speed in the air towards it.

Then Kai began to imbued his own curse energy with the shadows after his body reached it maximum velocity breaking the sound barrier, but before it could happen he disappeared then appeared right out the shadow of mahoraga as multiple booms of sound echoed at once's from the instantaneous.. reaching of mach ten with a punch that landed on mahoraga that was caught off gurad but unfortunately was still prepared.

Swinging it's sword with and extreme output of positive energy over its body as it sword arm exploded ,from the sheer force with part of its upper body as it was pushed back into the distance from the shockwave afterwards .

Shadows cover Kai again as he appeared behind mahoraga again with it sending a punch that broke both arms , but healed the second that they broke in with a large hand grabbed Kai to throw him.

Kai already seeing it coming placed his palm on mahoraga shoulder then using it to rotate , into a one arm handstand on to of the divine general head off a kick using it momentum from Sky repeal to get above Mahoraga.

Boom..

And for the reason why Kai's movements are able to match mahoraga dispite their previous large gap is speed and power, most would think it's due to the technique Flowing scale stack but they would be incorrect, since it would only enhance the user's current capabilities meaning if they were never a costumed to moving at supersonic speeds then they would never be able to react or move at those speeds.. what Kai is using right now is a far more advanced technique from his curse technique Blood control taking the inspiration and knowledge he gained from Shoko on the human body.

Kai:"Blood Control: Blood God."

 Extension technique Blood God:

The user removed the restrictions placed on the human body when using physical and mental execration as a natural safety mechanism, but by taking the doping aspect of Flowing Scale to the extreme by forcing every cell in the body to be imbued with reinforcement, allowing every single cell in the body to become encoded with the instincts of the body.

With the blood in the body spreading Adrenocorticotropic hormone with corticotrophin releasing hormone , imbued with curse energy reinforcement remanent leakage of energy from Kai's imperfect understanding of the soul with leads to less efficient control of curse energy, but this leads to an inhuman amount of adrenaline super imposed with curse energy boosting and maintaining its effects.

Tink..

These does not merely give the user added physical capability ,but awakens the potential they already had to the surface.

In moment the body of Kai disappeared and loud crashing sounds echoed as the forest had many broken and splintered remains of trees.

Boom..

Mahoraga was being hit from many different angles across a 200meter radius within a few seconds at super sonic speeds .. before break othe sound barrier Kai sinks into the shadows to appear instantly next mahoraga with a constitutional endless attack.

Even with mahoraga having the overall advantage in physical capabilities kai is able to put him on the back foot , from pure combat efficiency of perfect understanding of distance control speed and curse technique usage.

Kai:" using the shadows and Sky Repeal on and of at supersonic speeds ,to do a hit and run style like Satoru with infinity is actually extremely efficient.

Shing..

Kai had a large grin on his face as he kicked as a slash of blood sliced the arm of mahoraga off ..withe a condensed explosion into the distance and continued to knock him around.

Tink..

Kai:" so to slash I need 1,1% more output to do so , and this will increase untill I reach my limits for output and can no longer do damge with slashing techniques ."

Kai then chased after the body by appearing out of the shadow of mahoraga ..and grabbed its face and blasting it in the face with and extremely large condensed Piercing blood ,at point blank range as the force dragged it across the landscape.

Tink..

A spatial slash sliced mahoraga in half after it stood up from the previous blast ..but before it feel apart a loud clap rebounded as it's palms held each other keeping its body up right.

Kai:" did he just use a self dap up technique in order to not be split in half like a Kit Kat."

Clink..

Both haves fused together then in a burst of speed he swung its arm with the sword of extermination.. as its curse energy changed as a slash of curse energy hit Kai with insane speed .
