The overlapping domains trembled like a machine pushed beyond its limits.
Train station lights flickered between realities. Pachinko wheels spun across fractured space. Two systems tried to exist in the same place at once.
Then—
A sound cut through everything.
A clean, decisive click.
Hakari exhaled slowly.
"…There it is."
The reels above him locked.
777.
The entire domain shattered into jackpot state.
Reality snapped like glass being struck from the inside.
And for a brief moment—
Only one system remained.
"Kinji Hakari has entered Jackpot Mode."
Yuji's eyes widened. "…Again?!"
Nobara shouted, "THIS GUY NEVER STOPS WINNING!"
Megumi's voice was low. "…It resets everything."
The overlapping domain structure collapsed instantly.
Hakari's space stabilized into pure jackpot mode—four minutes and eleven seconds of infinite cursed energy, automatic Reverse Cursed Technique, and absolute momentum.
Takeru stood alone in it.
No interference.
No overlapping rules.
Just the system he had copied… now fully under Hakari's control.
"…So that's how it is," Takeru muttered.
Hakari grinned.
"…Your turn."
The entire arena turned into a single rolling machine.
Only Takeru remained active in the system.
No extra mechanics.
No interference.
Just pure probability.
Sukuna's voice echoed softly inside him.
"…Now you're playing my kind of game."
Takeru lifted his hand.
Calm.
Focused.
No hesitation.
He initiated the roll.
The machine spun.
Slow at first.
Then faster.
Then blinding.
Yuji leaned forward. "…He's actually doing it…"
Megumi didn't blink. "…He's syncing with it."
Nobara whispered, "This is insane…"
Hakari laughed mid-combat.
"…Come on then!"
The reels slowed.
First digit—
7
A pause.
The air tightened.
Second digit—
7
Silence fell across the entire arena.
Even Hakari stopped moving for half a beat.
Third digit—
Everything slowed.
Then—
7.
A perfect alignment.
777.
The machine exploded into light.
The jackpot signal echoed across the domain system.
But this time—
It wasn't Hakari's.
It was shared.
Yuji froze. "…WHAT JUST HAPPENED?!"
Nobara shouted, "HE HIT JACKPOT TOO?!"
Megumi's eyes narrowed sharply. "…No… that shouldn't be possible."
Hakari stood completely still.
Then—
He grinned wider.
"…Now that is interesting."
Takeru's cursed energy surged.
Not identical to Hakari's—
But synchronized.
Balanced.
Stable.
Sukuna murmured, almost amused:
"…A borrowed jackpot."
The system didn't reject him.
It accepted him.
For the first time—
Hakari wasn't the only one running the house.
And both jackpots began to overlap.
Two unkillable states.
One battlefield.
No rules left to rely on.
Hakari cracked his neck.
"…Alright."
"…Now we're really gambling."
Takeru adjusted his sunglasses slightly.
"…Yeah."
"…We are."
And the jackpot timer began to tick.
4:11.
Against 4:11.
