It wasn't just the Cursed Spirit that was troublesome!
And this love-obsessed ancient Sorcerer right in front of them!
BOOM!
At the other end of the street, the shooting monster created boundless shockwaves!
As soon as Nobara Kugisaki turned her head, she met those vicious, inhuman eyes full of absolute malice!
However, Nobara was completely unable to react to such extreme speed!
Only Maki Zenin could barely catch a glimpse of Naoya's supersonic figure!
PFFT!
With a roar, Maki severed half of Naoya's writhing, worm-like body with a single, devastating slash of her sword!
Purple blood gushed out like a fountain, splattering all over the students from Jujutsu High.
Even the beauty-conscious Yorozu frowned and slightly distanced herself from the disgusting spray.
Naoya, who had become a Vengeful Cursed Spirit, was not as fragile as a human, nor did he need the healing power of Reverse Cursed Technique.
With only half of his body remaining at the chest, Rose's mangled corpse gently stroked Naoya's worm-like chest.
A terrifying surge of Cursed Energy erupted!
The severed body instantly regenerated, and Naoya turned his head 180 degrees to look at Maki!
"I almost forgot... there's also you, you traitorous fool!"
"A Zenin clan member who survived only by divine favor..."
Staring into Maki's eyes, Naoya's ferocious face grew even angrier!
"You piece of trash! How dare you defy the will of the Clan Head?!"
"GO TO HELL!!!"
Naoya's hostility suddenly shifted, and he violently slammed Maki headfirst into the wall of a nearby building!
BOOM!!!
The street shook violently as if an earthquake had struck, finally bringing Megumi Fushiguro back to his senses.
"Kurusu! Take to the air and notify Higuruma and Takaba to assemble here!" Megumi shouted. "As for the Cursed Spirit... for now, we can only let Maki-senpai hold it off by herself."
Megumi looked at Yorozu's floating figure with a complicated, pained expression. "Kugisaki... Itadori..."
"Please... join forces with me and let's control this monster first."
Hana Kurusu—the Angel who was not suited for direct, physical close combat but possessed the ability to negate any technique—was sent by Megumi to call for backup.
Nobara and Yuji were also asked to team up with him...
But it wasn't about killing the enemy. It was about controlling her.
Megumi still harbored the desperate fantasy that he could use Angel's technique to bring back that gentle and kind older sister.
"Okay! No problem!" Yuji replied instantly.
Yorozu was an ancient Sorcerer who had previously held her own against four opponents with ease. She was undoubtedly a formidable powerhouse.
Despite such a difficult problem... Yuji and Nobara agreed without hesitation.
All because of that one sentence from their partner: "Please."
...
The hidden backstabbing threat of Maki's Heavenly Restriction was gone from the rooftop.
With no more scruples, Yorozu landed lightly on the ground.
Leaning down to look at Megumi, Yorozu gave him a provocative wink. "What monster? I'm your dear older sister!"
BANG!
Before Yorozu could continue her mocking remarks, Yuji kicked the ground hard and shot straight forward!
Like a violent storm, Yuji slammed a heavy punch aimed squarely at Yorozu's abdomen!
Thud!
A clean, white hand easily blocked Yuji's fist!
"Hm?!!"
Feeling the massive weight surging into her palm, a different emotion suddenly surfaced in Yorozu's eyes as she looked closely at Yuji!
With a secretive glance sweeping over Angel floating high above, Yorozu suddenly spoke to Yuji with a bizarre, ambiguous expression. "I felt it!"
"You really did choose a nice body!"
A full-force punch had absolutely no effect?
Feeling the thin layer of armor materialized in Yorozu's palm, Yuji's thoughts sank.
ZING!!!
Yorozu casually tilted her head to dodge the hidden nails fired by Nobara.
Suppressing her emotions, her heartbeat, and her voice, Yorozu whispered directly to the entity inside Yuji. "Angel cannot sense you."
Yorozu's gaze seemed to penetrate straight through the skin of Yuji Itadori and reach the depths of his soul!
"Only I can sense your presence!"
"It must be because of our love!"
BOOM!!!
Her "love," transformed into tangible kinetic reality, slammed into Yuji's face with a powerful counter-punch!
A blinding spray of blood splattered across the ground, and Yuji flew backward, crashing violently into the piled-up ruins in the distance!
"Great Serpent!"
A gigantic Shikigami emerged from the shadows and tightly bound Yorozu's body!
The suffocating feeling of being coiled up by a massive python...
It was like water off a duck's back to her!
BOOM!
Yorozu's seemingly slender arms burst the giant snake's body in just one breath!
When Yorozu returned to the surface, her forearms were still covered with a layer of dark, flowing liquid metal.
The reason she could easily withstand Yuji's superhuman fist and burst the Serpent's body so effortlessly was precisely because of this thin layer of insect armor.
Yorozu's talent as a Sorcerer was enough to allow her to completely reproduce all the Cursed Tools and materials she had studied a thousand years ago!
She had heard that butterflies the size of a palm could fly across entire straits, and wasps the size of a thumb could fly more than 20 miles a day! There were even smaller insects that could lift objects hundreds of times their own weight!
Despite their small size, insects had maximized their bite force, jumping ability, and physical speed!
Yorozu then used her Construction technique to materialize insect armor and enhance all of those physical attributes to herself!
"Black Flash!!!"
Suddenly, Yuji charged out of the rubble, intending to end the battle once again with a surprise, maximum-output strike!
However...
BOOM!!!
The shockwave alone from their clash shattered the concrete ground beneath their feet!
The thin layer of insect armor covering her forearm allowed Yorozu to unleash a blow a hundred times heavier than herself!
The invincible Black Flash of Yuji Itadori was completely blasted away by a single, casual punch from Yorozu!
"Darling! Can you feel it?!"
"Can you feel my passionate love?!"
Looking at the blood-soaked Yuji rising from the ruins again, Yorozu blushed deeply, her eyes seemingly blooming with roses!
Both were ancient Sorcerers from a thousand years ago!
Even without uttering a sound, the Angel's pure white wings and the holy halo above Hana's head had already revealed her true identity to Yorozu!
That was why Yorozu expressed and spoke of her overwhelming infatuation with Sukuna so secretly! She didn't want Angel to know Sukuna was right here!
Yuji wiped the blood from his forehead, his face grave.
He finally understood.
Yorozu's thick and burning "love" was an expression aimed entirely at the Sukuna residing within him!
They were no match for her at all!
Her physical body, enhanced by the armor, was even stronger than Yuji's, and her total Cursed Energy reserves far exceeded that of the three of them combined!
Megumi. Nobara. Yuji.
The three of them looked at the completely deranged Yorozu in front of them, and cold sweat poured down their backs!
Facing such an opponent, a half-baked approach to using a Domain Expansion would only make it easier to exhaust themselves and lose the ability to fight completely. However, without opening their Domains, neither Nobara nor Megumi seemed to have any chance of even touching Yorozu...
As they hesitated, Yorozu's gaze finally shifted from Yuji to Megumi and Nobara.
There was no affection. No playfulness.
The look Yorozu gave Megumi and Nobara at that moment was filled with an exceptionally terrifying, cold killing intent!
"A pre-wedding date... such a sacred and sweet day!" Yorozu hissed.
"Why don't you three, who are just being third wheels, just kill yourselves already?!"
With a slight flap of her cicada wings, the liquid metal insect armor spread fully to Yorozu's fists!
With just one simple step, Yorozu could pierce straight through the two teenagers in front of her!
However, just as Yorozu bent down to launch herself, she suddenly felt an absolutely irresistible, crushing pressure slam onto her back!
BOOM!!!
Yorozu was forced to bend down and kneel completely on the shattered ground!
RIIIP!!!
With a sharp, sickening crack, the two thin cicada wings on Yorozu's back were completely and violently torn apart!
The bright red blood spilled before her eyes first, followed by waves of excruciating, agonizing pain in her back!
Then, Yorozu heard a foul, highly amused voice stepping heavily onto her spine!
"Where did this 'love-obsessed' person come from?"
"This old man is President Sigma!"
