White hair, a Buddhist monk's robe.
As a servant of Ryomen Sukuna from a thousand years ago, Uraume possessed absolute loyalty to Sukuna. Serving as his loyal chef, catering to his gluttonous appetite, they had prepared his meals and devoured their enemies together.
After the Shibuya Incident, Uraume had acted alone, silently observing the vessel, Yuji Itadori, and patiently waiting for their master to fully awaken.
When the king is humiliated, the minister must die!
Having witnessed everything that had just happened from afar, Uraume exuded a palpable, freezing killing intent from head to toe!
Extreme cold, enough to freeze absolutely everything, spread rapidly through the high sky!
Within a hundred meters, the ruined skyscrapers stood as frozen ice sculptures!
"Maximum Output: Frost Calm!!!"
A devastating cold wave swept across the land!
Uraume's face was contorted with twisted rage, their absolute murderous intent pointing straight at Zenin Mirai!
BANG!!!
Takako Uro, who was carrying the unconscious Yorozu, suddenly narrowed her eyes!
Before she could even react, a blood-stained body crashed down violently in front of her along with the biting cold air!
Sensing the icy Cursed Energy, Uro immediately recognized Uraume's true identity.
A thousand years ago, as the captain of the Sun, Moon, and Stars Squad, Uro had witnessed Sukuna at his absolute peak, as well as Uraume, who faithfully served by his side.
Despite being a servant, Uraume's strength was at a level that could easily be rated as Special Grade in this modern era.
Yet in the end, they still ended up crashing down with a serious, bloody injury to one eye, instantly defeated by a single glance from Mirai.
Uro was overjoyed at her earlier decision to surrender to him. Her surging Cursed Energy silently pushed away the chilling currents surrounding Mirai to protect herself.
...
Sukuna glanced at the loyal servant beside him; he saw that Uraume had been beaten into the same miserable, limbless state as himself.
Sukuna's expression was not surprised; he still grinned maliciously from the crater as he stared up into Mirai's blood-red eyes!
Licking the blood that had trickled down his lips, Sukuna chuckled. "Have you had enough?"
"If it's not enough, you can stomp on me for a few more days."
The stronger the enemy, the more excited Sukuna became!
Despite the passage of a thousand years, his scattered soul fragments could still observe the development of the world at any time. To Sukuna, humiliation was merely a different kind of seasoning for the battle.
Sukuna could sense that the man standing on his face had absolutely no intention of killing him at this moment.
Then there is still a chance to get back at him for this lost opportunity.
"It seems I hid my power too well before, which gave you the illusion that you could eventually defeat me."
Mirai saw completely through Sukuna's plan.
To everyone's absolute astonishment, Mirai suddenly burst into laughter, clutching his forehead!
"HAHAHA!!!"
He laughed loudly for a long time.
Looking down at Sukuna's astonished expression, Mirai's eyes conveyed a deep-seated, absolute contempt.
"Whether it's you... or Gojo Satoru..."
"To me, you are both nothing more than ants that I can crush with a single step."
Before Sukuna could refute!
BOOM!!!
Mirai's ink-black hair danced wildly without any wind, and his white kasaya fluttered violently!
A surge of Cursed Energy—powerful enough to overturn heaven and earth—suddenly exploded from within Mirai!
Sukuna was no longer an intangible, untouchable threat, but a physical creature trapped right beneath his foot. Therefore, Mirai didn't mind giving the so-called King of Curses a little shock.
A disdainful smirk played on Mirai's lips as he looked down at him, saying softly, "Sorry, King of Curses..."
"I'm not bluffing."
The overwhelming and impossibly powerful Cursed Energy surged out like the raging, crushing waves of the deep sea!
BANG! BANG! BANG!!!
The entire street, previously covered in Uraume's frost, began to tremble violently, and hundreds of high-rise buildings around them completely shattered!
There was no physical action. There was no Cursed Technique activation.
It was just the pure, unadulterated surging of his Cursed Energy!
BANG!!!
Carrying Yorozu over her shoulder, Takako Uro suddenly dropped to her knees on the ground, drenched in cold sweat!
The mere sense of absolute oppression emanating from Mirai was enough to make Uro—a Sorcerer who possessed Special Grade strength—completely lose control of her own limbs!
What King of Curses? What 'Strongest in a Thousand Years'?
Uro's forehead was pressed firmly against the shattering concrete, her teeth chattering uncontrollably, and cold sweat constantly flowing down her face!
She felt a deep-seated, instinctual fear, and sighed inwardly.
'Even in the Golden Age of Jujutsu a thousand years ago...'
'Master Mirai would also be a ruler standing atop a divine throne!'
BUZZ—BUZZ!
Centered on Mirai, terrifying Cursed Energy radiated throughout the entire Tokyo Colony 2 barrier!
The earth roared and shook violently like a massive earthquake.
With the retraction of Mirai's stomping foot, Sukuna's broken limbs instantly healed via Reverse Cursed Technique!
However, Sukuna—who could only exert the physical power of five fingers right now due to Megumi Fushiguro's soul actively resisting him—was not even qualified to stand up under the crushing, suffocating pressure of this Cursed Energy!
As for Uraume, who was lying paralyzed to the side, they were already severely injured by Mirai's earlier glance...
They fell into a deep coma the very instant Mirai's Cursed Energy erupted!
...
"You're kidding... right...?"
A hundred meters away on the street, Nobara Kugisaki was half-crouched on the ground, panting heavily for air!
The rest of the students and allies from Jujutsu High weren't in much better shape, all leaning desperately against the sturdy corner of a wall to keep from collapsing.
They all looked as if they were severely dehydrated, with cold sweat pouring profusely out of their bodies!
His pupils constricted sharply, and the long katana he leaned on for support trembled violently against the ground!
The Grade 1 Sorcerer, Atsuya Kusakabe, turned deathly pale, his voice filled with absolute terror.
"His Cursed Energy is... not even from this dimension!"
"That guy... Zenin Mirai... is he really human?!"
And as a powerful figure from a thousand years ago...
Angel gazed at the King of Curses lying on the ground in the distance, completely pinned by the pressure and resembling a dead dog...
Her mind was utterly shaken!
She had never seen The Fallen look like this before, not even in her wildest imagination.
"...Were you kids really planning to be enemies with that monster before?"
With a small mouth cracked open below the corner of Hana's eye, Angel stared blankly at the students of Jujutsu High. "Are you... serious?"
Yuta. Toge. Maki. Yuji. Nobara.
Everyone pursed their lips, completely unable to utter a single reply for a long time.
Their minds couldn't help but desperately ask themselves:
If we go against Zenin Mirai... is there really any chance of winning?
...
A chilling atmosphere lingered, and dust swirled wildly in the air.
Mirai, standing completely alone at the epicenter of the destruction, looked all the more godlike and mystical.
From a fearless, arrogant grin to his current stunned silence.
Seeing the rapidly changing expressions on Sukuna's face, Mirai commented casually, "The view is nice from down there, isn't it?"
—BUZZ!
The Cursed Energy spread to the very edges of the Tokyo Colony 2 barrier!
Noticing the massive Culling Game barrier beginning to physically tremble and destabilize under his sheer output, Mirai gradually withdrew his Cursed Energy.
Looking down at the disheveled Sukuna, Mirai laughed and said, "Well, King of Curses?"
"Can you feel the absolute difference in our power?"
"How ugly. You don't even deserve to dance with me now."
King of Curses...
Sukuna perfectly understood the sarcastic undertone in Mirai's words.
A being capable of causing mountains to collapse and the earth to split open simply by releasing his raw Cursed Energy... Even in the Golden Age a thousand years ago, Sukuna had never encountered such a terrifying opponent.
Moreover, the person standing before him could control such immense Cursed Energy entirely at will. This didn't even seem like Mirai was going all out; he might even be holding back!
But that was precisely why!
Sukuna's eyes suddenly blazed with a fierce, burning fighting spirit!
Zenin Mirai... This man was definitely the biggest challenge he had ever faced in his entire existence!
"The strongest..." Mirai shook his head and chuckled. "Get lost. Don't humiliate yourself any further."
Masking all the fighting spirit in his eyes, Sukuna stood up from the crater and silently walked toward the unconscious Uraume.
That's right. There's no time to waste here.
I need to completely subdue this brat's soul, get back to my absolute peak form quickly, and then have a great fight!
Whether I die, or he dies!
As long as it's interesting... anything is fine!
Sukuna felt his stolen heart pounding wildly, forcefully suppressing the boiling blood within his veins! The curve of his lips gradually widened into a sinister, unseen grin!
This was a burning passion unseen in a thousand years... filled with pure anticipation!
