A day before.
Naoya Zenin sat silently inside his room.
He released a small breath, then opened his eyes and vanished from the spot.
After arriving at an empty space, he raised his hands and made a new sign.
"Domain: Chimera Shadow Garden."
The shadow under his feet wiggled before rapidly spreading out and covering the entire place inside a large sphere.
Under his control, countless copies of his subdued shikigami emerged from the shadows.
"Finally achieved it." Naoya smiled, then summoned several Piercing Ox and Nue.
After calming his mind, he did a few stretches before finally starting the subduing ritual.
The world paused for a moment, then a large white figure bound inside a cocoon-like shape silently appeared.
"With this treasure, I summon..."
Hundreds of Nue charged a large amount of lightning at the same time.
"Eight-Handled Sword Divergent Sila Divine General Mahoraga."
A big mouth opened up on the cocoon as two big muscular arms stretched out.
With a golden wheel behind his head, Mahoraga stepped foot inside his domain with his naked feet.
And as soon as he appeared,
Countless shikigami jumped up and grabbed onto him, hoping to stop him in place.
Mahoraga pulled out his Sword of Extermination and smiled menacingly.
Naoya quickly took a step back and saw all the shikigami being turned to dust under Mahoraga's intense might.
But that was alright.
He expected it.
As the Piercing Ox started running, Naoya used his other technique.
Projection Sorcery.
His figure flashed at an inhuman speed. Within an instant, he appeared beside Mahoraga and touched him, stopping him in place.
At the same time, the golden wheel behind Mahoraga trembled a little, as if about to spin.
But before it could, the Piercing Ox arrived, carrying a powerful momentum.
Boom
They crashed into Mahoraga's body, breaking it apart.
Before Mahoraga could regenerate, countless electric attacks landed on top of him, turning the entire domain into a chaotic electric field.
Naoya silently hid inside the shadows to avoid the damage from the electricity and observed Mahoraga, who had been blown into smithereens.
Feeling the connection with the final shikigami now established, he sighed in relief and retracted his domain.
Stepping outside, he once again made the hand sign and summoned the Divine General.
Mahoraga silently appeared beside him, now fully accepted as his contracted shikigami.
Looking at the powerful monster, Naoya smiled and raised his fist.
Mahoraga followed and fist-bumped Naoya with his own big fist.
After unsummoning Mahoraga, Naoya went back to the clan with a happy look on his face.
Finally, after so many years, he had mastered his technique and even subdued Mahoraga.
Sitting inside his room, he looked at his maid, Kiyo, serving him tea.
Grabbing her arm, he pulled her into his arms before sliding his hand inside her dress.
"Young master... the tea will go cold..." Kiyo muttered in a small voice as a blush appeared on her face.
Naoya groped her familiar soft breasts before pulling out his hand and drinking his favorite tea in one go.
Then he turned to Kiyo and said,
"Let's watch some movies. I'm in a great mood today."
"Ah... okay." Kiyo blinked, then went back to prepare.
While waiting, Naoya calmly lay down on the floor and started humming.
Taking out his phone, he started typing a message to Satori.
He rejected her request for dinner, as he was planning to kill Ogi tonight when nobody would notice it.
It might end up blacklisting him from the jujutsu world, but that didn't matter anymore, as his strength had reached the pinnacle.
He had been patiently waiting for this for a long time now.
As his fingers were moving, Naoya let out a small cough.
Cough
Then he paused.
Because on top of his phone
Was a patch of red blood.
Naoya's pupils constricted as he hurriedly tried to get up from the floor, only to fall back down in weakness.
Cough, cough, cough.
Violent coughs started coming out from his throat along with large amounts of reddish-black blood.
'Poison!'
Dark veins appeared around his fair neck as he gritted his teeth in anger and used Reverse Cursed Energy to suppress and heal the poison's effect.
Poison was not very effective against those who knew how to use Reverse Cursed Energy. With his mastery, he would quickly control the poison in no time.
But then,
Without any warning, his body froze in place.
Before Naoya could understand what was happening,
A beautiful short black-haired woman with stitches on her forehead walked inside the room along with Ogi and Ranta Zenin.
Ranta's eyes became bloodshot as he kept Naoya frozen in place.
Kenjaku silently crouched beside him and said,
"I apologize for this. I personally have nothing against you, but as long as you're alive, I am unable to kill Suguri Geto."
Ogi Zenin pulled out his burning sword and said in a cold tone,
"Don't waste time on him. By tomorrow, the higher-ups will have declared him a traitor."
"Naobito has been sent away on a mission... so now die, you disgusting brat."
Ogi raised his burning sword and expertly slashed down in a clean arc, cutting right through the stuck Naoya's neck.
Slash
With a clean strike, Naoya's head separated from his body, resulting in his death.
Kenjaku smiled and waved her hand over his body.
What a perfect technique.
After taking over this body, she would kill Suguru Geto and start fulfilling her thousand-year-old dream.
With her strength combined with Naoya's body, even killing Satori Gojo wouldn't be a problem.
"Then I will take this body as promised..." Kenjaku didn't wait for Ogi to reply and grabbed Naoya's head and body, about to take him away.
But then an irregularity happened.
Naoya's body suddenly became illusory before disappearing into nothing.
Only leaving behind his clothes.
Seeing the scene, while Ogi and Ranta looked confused, Kenjaku immediately stopped smiling and stood up with a dark expression.
"Another cursed technique?"
----
Inside a large house in Tokyo.
Phantom's calm expression warped into one filled with anger.
Phantom's cursed energy reserves started rising as he turned into the real Naoya.
His body became stronger and more muscular within seconds.
Tightly clenching his teeth, he opened his mouth and howled in a voice akin to a roar.
"Kenjaku! Ogi! Zenin!"
He could accept it!
Even if these bastards killed him with their planning, he could accept it!
But!
There was one thing he absolutely couldn't accept!
"Kiyo... why?..."
Drops of tears swelled up in his eyes as he remembered the face of his maid, who had been with him the longest.
He had spent more time with her than anyone else.
Tearing at his own face, a pair of large wings spurted from his back as he broke through the wall and flew into the sky.
Rushing straight towards the Zenin clan.
"You fucking traitor..."
His eyes burned with unconcerned anger.
----
Inside an apartment.
Suguri silently lay on her bed, going through her gallery.
She looked at the image of Naoya. It happened during the first week of their meeting. At that time, she was still uncomfortable around Naoya, so she ignored him like usual, only for him to snatch her phone and forcefully fill her gallery with his crazy images.
*Puff*
She let out a muffled laugh seeing the weird facial expression.
Just as she was enjoying the old memories, she suddenly received a new message.
It was from Naoya.
Blinking her eyes in curiosity, she quickly opened it up.
[Naoya: Suguri, are you awake?]
Suguri paused and sat up before typing in a hurry.
[Suguri: Naoya? What is it?
While waiting for his reply, her heart started beating a little faster on its own.
[Naoya: I caught a special grade spirit for you... quickly come to this village...]
A special-grade spirit?
Suguri blinked her eyes, then quickly replied.
[Suguri: Hold on, I'll be right there.]
