Chapter 158 - Chapter 158: The Tide of Battle Turns

"Pfft, haha, hahahahaha!" Mahito mocked loudly. "What's wrong, Master Kenjaku? We haven't seen each other for just a few hours, so how did you become so pathetic?"

By this time, Mahito had returned to their safe hideout—still that same beach, but now all the core personnel were gathered in the villa by the shore.

Mahito had also taken off his Soul Creation Dragon Spirit Body. Looking at the scene before him, he truly couldn't stop laughing.

Three hours had passed since the battle. Even Mahito hadn't anticipated that even with the mental processing power of a Dragon, it would still take three hours to eliminate the risk of brain death after being hit by Unlimited Void.

Gojo Satoru was too much of a genius. Perhaps that guy really could slay a god, just as Ryomen Sukuna had killed Enma in ancient times.

Kinji Hakari, looking disgusted, placed Kenjaku's head on the table. "This bastard said he didn't need my help and could take down Tengen by himself. In the end, it wasn't long before he used some unknown Jujutsu to notify me to come get him. I had to fight a round with Okkotsu Yuta just to save his head."

Kenjaku, with only his head remaining, looked depressed. "I didn't expect Tengen to be so ruthless. This person actually gave a part of her own body to Okkotsu Yuta, allowing his Cursed Technique to record Tengen's Immortal Technique. The current Okkotsu Yuta is terrifying. Not only does he have the Limitless Cursed Technique, but because his body has recorded the Immortal Technique, he can hardly suffer any fatal injuries. Aside from sealing him, even I don't know how to fight him."

This was why Tengen dared to follow behind Gojo Satoru in her true form:

She had given a part of her body to Okkotsu Yuta, letting him use his Copy Technique to record her Immortal Technique. The great Japanese barrier is maintained by Tengen's Immortal Technique. In other words, the key isn't actually Tengen herself, but the Immortal Technique. As long as the Immortal Technique exists, the great Japanese barrier can be maintained normally. So even if Tengen leaves, Okkotsu Yuta, who holds the same Immortal Technique, can step in!

This was, of course, done by bypassing the Jujutsu Higher-Ups. Tengen had learned her lesson; the entire process was carried out while hiding it from the Jujutsu Higher-Ups. Even if there were spies within the Jujutsu Higher-Ups' office, it would have been impossible for the news to leak.

What was even more terrifying than Tengen was that while Okkotsu Yuta's Barrier Techniques weren't great, his direct combat ability was immense! Kenjaku had been full of confidence, wanting to personally kill his thousand-year rival, but he never expected that Tengen wouldn't play along at all. She directly left an Okkotsu Yuta, whose combat power was off the charts and who possessed the Immortal Technique, waiting for him in the Star Corridor. He had ignorantly stumbled right into Okkotsu Yuta's hands.

And so, Kenjaku personally experienced the taste of being trapped by Tengen.

There's no need to describe the process; it was miserable, very miserable. So miserable that only his head barely survived.

Kinji Hakari cracked his neck and turned to the equally depressed Ashiya Magon. "Compared to the heartless Kenjaku, Master Ashiya is in an even worse state."

At this moment, Ashiya Magon's face was black and blue, covered in bruises. His shirt had long been torn to shreds, revealing a still-robust physique, but that body was also covered in bruises, as if his bones had been shattered. Yet, he still forced himself to stand up, though his swollen face made it difficult to speak:

"I-I'm fine. I just exchanged a few moves with Yuki Tsukumo and was at a slight disadvantage, that's all."

You call that a slight disadvantage? Your face is completely deformed from the beating!

Still acting tough? Can acting tough prove you didn't lose the battle? Was Yuki Tsukumo's punch powerful or what?

Mahito really wanted to hold back his laughter, but in the end, he couldn't help but laugh out loud. "Hahaha, I didn't expect Master Ashiya to be so miserable too. You guys were completely thrashed!"

Ashiya Magon looked defiant. "If I were in my prime, I would have hung Tsukumo up and beaten her!"

Kinji Hakari couldn't take it anymore. He covered his face and said, "Old man, just forget it. If Senior Tsukumo hadn't wanted to avoid a complete fallout with Mahito, she would have turned you into dust with Star Rage long ago. Honestly, this offensive was a complete failure; it made everyone think we're some kind of joke! Especially Tsumiki Fushiguro!"

Standing nearby, Tsumiki Fushiguro was the most presentable among those who had attacked Tokyo Jujutsu High. She was elegant, and even her black school uniform appeared clean and tidy, as if she had just gone for a stroll around her brother's campus rather than attacking the fierce Tokyo Jujutsu High.

Tsumiki Fushiguro held a kitten in her arms. Now, she handed the kitten to Mahito, who naturally took it.

She said calmly, "I said before the attack that I was going to see Megumi, and I wouldn't take action beyond that. In fact, besides blocking Megumi, I also blocked all the students of Tokyo Jujutsu High, including Sukuna's vessel, Itadori Yuji. I have more than fulfilled my mission."

Kinji Hakari shouted angrily, "You call that blocking!? You just stood in front of them and chatted with your brother! Even when you did move, you were so slow! By the end, you even took on the role of a teacher and seriously analyzed the combat styles and systems of all the students, including your brother!"

"Do you even remember you were on a battlefield?"

"Damn it, at least I knew my role. I pulled Master Ashiya back when he was about to die, and I went to retrieve Kenjaku when he was down to just a head."

"You really didn't do a damn thing!"

Mahito said cheerfully, "Don't be like that. Letting my Clone touch all the students in Tokyo was the best insurance for me, and that's enough."

This kitten was Mahito's Clone. During the attack, Mahito had specifically split off a simple and clean kitten as a Clone to be held by the safest person, Tsumiki Fushiguro. Everyone thought it was Tsumiki Fushiguro's Companion Spirit. Since Kinji Hakari had a young Dragon as a Companion Spirit, it wasn't that surprising for Tsumiki Fushiguro to have a kitten.

The original Mahito could do similar things. In the original work, Mahito could even directly transform humans into his Clone. Aside from being unable to use Idle Transfiguration, their thoughts were connected to the main body, and their physical performance was identical.

The current Mahito had gone a step further; he could even split his Soul and inject it into a Construction Technique. Of course, to better duel Gojo Satoru, the Soul he split off had almost no intelligence. It was the same principle as when the original Mahito fought Ultimate Mechamaru and Mechamaru blew up a part of Mahito's Soul, yet Mahito could still fill and recover it. The kitten was the same.

It must be said that the potential of Idle Transfiguration is truly immense, with many unknowns still to be explored. The original Mahito really wasted such a gift.

While Tsumiki Fushiguro was playing around with the Tokyo students, this kitten also quietly touched everyone except Itadori Yuji.

At this moment, this kitten had recorded the Innate Techniques of everyone else: Nobara Kugisaki's Resonance; Inumaki Toge's Cursed Speech; Panda's Mutated Cursed Corpse; and Fushiguro Megumi's Ten Shadows Technique.

Now that Mahito touched the kitten, it was equivalent to the kitten handing over all the recorded simulated Soul information to him.

The kitten gave a final meow and turned into a stream of liquid that covered Mahito's arm, eventually disappearing as it returned to Mahito's body.

Mahito noticed Tsumiki Fushiguro let out a regretful sigh and smiled:

"If Young Miss Fushiguro is willing, I can give you the same Immortality Package as Kinji right now. As for the specific appearance of the Companion Spirit, naturally, Young Miss Fushiguro can design it herself."
