Chapter 41: That's Right, It Was Me
"Yo, you're awake."
Alex Moyan looked at the girl who had just awakened and couldn't help but want to pinch her rosy, chubby little face.
He had never seen such a cute Cursed Spirit.
Aside from the Tamamo-no-Mae he had just subjugated, other Cursed Spirits were simply eyesores.
At least, they were eyesores by human aesthetic standards; he wasn't sure if they were considered beautiful by Cursed Spirit standards. Speaking of which, was Hanami considered a great beauty among Cursed Spirits?
Before Alex Moyan could reach out his hand, he realized the girl before him was completely naked.
Alex Moyan looked around, wanting to find some clothes for her.
However, he discovered that the Innate Domain had not disappeared. Instead, the crack that Daitengu had just split open had vanished.
"It actually healed? Haven't those guys already been absorbed by me?"
Alex Moyan frowned, immediately thinking of the reason.
"Could it be this girl?"
Alex Moyan turned his gaze to the girl, only to find that the magic circle had already turned into a large pool of thick, bloody water, overflowing with majestic Cursed Energy.
In the next moment, like a bottomless pit or a whirlpool, she began to absorb the blood.
Her originally cute appearance began to turn sinister.
Black ram horns slowly began to grow from her head, and her eyes, which had initially looked like black gemstone pupils, became eerie.
The whites of her eyes turned dark, and her pupils became pale, looking incredibly demonic.
A black dress suddenly appeared on the girl, wrapping around her small body.
A pair of mismatched, tattered black wings appeared on the girl's back.
A pair of glistening white bare feet stood upon the sacrificial altar.
If the little girl from before was an angel on earth, then the girl now was a demon fallen into hell!
Alex Moyan felt the Cursed Energy gradually rising from the little girl and couldn't help but think.
"Could this little girl be the source of power for the entire ritual, or even this Innate Domain?"
Thinking of this, Alex Moyan suddenly understood everything.
No wonder this Innate Domain was so massive.
After all, an Innate Domain of this scale wasn't something those few First Grades could afford to open.
Soon, Alex Moyan noticed the surrounding environment began to recede rapidly, like a whirlpool, as if being absorbed by something.
Shortly after, Alex Moyan returned to the canyon.
He wasn't sure if his eyes were playing tricks on him, but Alex Moyan noticed the little girl seemed to have grown a tiny bit taller.
Before Alex Moyan could react, the little girl somehow produced a Giant Axe that was completely disproportionate to her size.
With one swing, she slashed toward Alex Moyan.
The speed was extremely fast, leaving an afterimage in her wake.
Her speed was fully comparable to Alex Moyan's Martial God Possession.
With a sharp hiss, the ground was split open, creating a fissure thirty feet long.
If it were the Alex Moyan of the past, he might have said, "That was close, that was close."
But the current Alex Moyan had absorbed the Cursed Energy of three great yokai and the Special Grade Cursed Spirits formed from the extreme hatred of three great Curse Users.
His strength was no longer what it used to be!
Just that majestic Cursed Energy alone had directly increased several times over.
And this was without having even digested the Cursed Techniques of those Cursed Spirits yet.
Once Alex Moyan had some time to digest them, his methods and strength would undergo another massive surge!
His overall strength would likely explode by ten or even dozens of times!
By then, in the entire Jujutsu World, perhaps only Satoru, who had awakened the Reverse Cursed Technique and grasped the true essence of jujutsu, could stand a chance against him.
As for the girl in front of him, she was just alright—trash. He could beat her with one finger!
Alex Moyan wasn't in a hurry now; he planned to have some fun with the little girl.
Boom!
The little girl swung her Giant Axe, and a ten-foot-long slash cut through the air, letting out a whistling sound as it flew toward Alex Moyan.
Alex Moyan didn't dodge or evade; in his eyes, this attack couldn't cause him any harm at all.
Alex Moyan swiped his finger through the air, and a red slash was suddenly unleashed.
This was the Cursed Technique Alex Moyan had obtained from absorbing Daitengu.
The collision of the two slashes produced a violent sound, deafening to the ears, and kicked up a rolling thick mist.
While fighting, Alex Moyan was simultaneously absorbing the Cursed Techniques from the three great yokai.
As he absorbed them, he used his Heaven-Defying Comprehension to carry out even more powerful development and improvements.
The results were somewhat disappointing; Alex Moyan found that the Cursed Techniques of the three great yokai could not be comprehended through Heaven-Defying Comprehension. They could only be used, not improved.
"Could it be? They've already reached their limit. Or rather, this world can only sustain Cursed Techniques of this level."
Alex Moyan couldn't help but recall the scenes within the water dragon sword.
Tamamo-no-Mae's Cursed Techniques were truly ridiculous, encompassing all sorts of natural and man-made disasters.
Their power was also terrifying!
Or perhaps? Heaven-Defying Comprehension could only comprehend the jujutsu of Jujutsu Sorcererss, but not those of these great yokai. After all, they weren't human!
Alex Moyan thought for a long time...
Whatever, he couldn't be bothered to think about it anymore. Anyway, he was already invincible now; thinking too much just gave him a headache.
Even if Sukuna were to come back to life, he'd have to eat three pounds of shit just to get a word in with Alex Moyan.
One trick to rule them all.
That was the charm of the Limitless Cursed Speech Technique.
Impossible to dodge, impossible to resist, impossible to adapt to, impossible to crack, and its activation was even non-negatable.
Unless someone could one-shot Alex Moyan before he could even react.
But obviously, that was impossible.
After Alex Moyan had played with the little girl for a while, he sensed several familiar Cursed Energies and some unfamiliar ones entering the range of his The Art of Spirits Observation.
Alex Moyan immediately activated the Limitless Cursed Spirit Manipulation Technique to subjugate the little girl.
The little girl, who had just been swinging a Giant Axe and wouldn't rest until Alex Moyan was dead, suddenly put away the axe.
She grabbed Alex Moyan's leg and began to rub against it.
She affectionately called out "Master, Master" to Alex Moyan.
This wasn't the first time Alex Moyan had felt such a contrast.
He encountered it almost every time he used the Limitless Cursed Spirit Manipulation Technique.
The Limitless Cursed Spirit Manipulation Technique was truly too broken!
As expected of Suguru's Cursed Technique.
One second, it's "I'll kill you!"
The next second, it's acting spoiled and calling him "Master."
After Alex Moyan finished everything, he flew out from within the Curtain.
A moment later, Satoru, Geto Suguru, Yaga Masamichi, and several Jujutsu Sorcerers Alex Moyan didn't recognize appeared in his field of vision.
By this time, Alex Moyan had already deactivated the The Art of Spirits Observation.
"Yo, Satoru, Suguru, Sensei, what are you guys doing here?"
Alex Moyan looked at them and greeted them.
"Alex?" Yaga Masamichi was very surprised. Why was this kid here instead of in his dormitory in the middle of the night?
When they were looking for people earlier, they couldn't find him anywhere.
He didn't even pick up his phone!
And now he actually appeared here?
Alex Moyan thought: I was in an Innate Domain, how could I pick up? There was no signal.
Alex Moyan wasn't going to be some unsung hero who takes down a major threat to the Jujutsu World and then sneaks away.
Leaving after the job is done and hiding one's contributions? Isn't that being a total idiot? Why wouldn't you want the credit? To give it to someone else?
Do you think you're Saitama!
Besides, this place was covered in traces of his own Cursed Energy. Could he even run away?
One sniff and people would know—yep, that's the scent of Alex Moyan.
Yaga Masamichi was about to ask when Alex Moyan directly interrupted him.
"No need to say anything, I did it. You don't have to worship me too much. Just hold a commendation ceremony, give me a billion or so as a reward, and send over a few seaside villas and luxury cars. I'm not picky."
Alex Moyan stood with his hands on his hips, laughing toward the sky with great pride.
He practically had the words "I'm so arrogant" written on his face.
"What! So it was you, you bastard, who destroyed Master Tengen's Barrier!"
A Jujutsu Sorcerer from the The Big Three Families, with the Zenin Family's unique emblem embroidered on his clothes, shouted sternly.
Several Jujutsu Sorcerers who didn't know Alex Moyan immediately pulled out their Cursed Tools and jujutsu, preparing to exorcise Alex Moyan as if he were a Cursed Spirit.
Alex Moyan felt the killing intent coming from his own side and was completely bewildered. "Eh? What the hell?"
