Sukuna roared, simultaneously waving his hands, unleashing even denser [Dismantle] and [Cleave] attacks in all directions, instantly forcing back and shattering the four naruto shadow clones.
However, after shattering, the shadows did not disappear; instead, they reintegrated into the black and white background of the Domain, awaiting their next summons.
"It's useless! In my kitchen, no matter how much ingredients there are, they are destined to be chopped up!"
Sukuna sneered, locking onto Toho Hiroshi's main body, and launched an even fiercer offensive.
A [Cleave] attack, its power adjusted to be capable of severing space, tore through the black and white, instantly arriving before Toho Hiroshi.
This time, Toho Hiroshi neither dodged nor substituted.
He simply gazed at the fatal slash with his Six-Tomoe Rinnegan.
The moment the slash was about to touch his body, an anomaly occurred.
The trajectory of the slash seemed to be forcibly deflected by an invisible force; between it and Toho Hiroshi, there seemed to be an unseen wall that distorted causality.
The 'effect' of the slash, which was 'hitting Toho Hiroshi,' was forcibly altered.
"Pfft!"
In the distance, a naruto shadow clone suddenly developed a huge gash on its chest, perfectly matching the [Cleave] attack Sukuna had unleashed, and then disintegrated.
Toho Hiroshi, however, was completely unharmed.
Sukuna's four eyes revealed true astonishment for the first time.
He clearly felt that his slash had been forcibly 'transferred' by some rule at the last moment!
"Within this Realm, even causality can be reincarnated."
Toho Hiroshi's voice, like a pronouncement, echoed through the black and white Domain.
"Your attacks, your defenses, and even your 'position' are all under the gaze of my Rinnegan."
He raised his hand and made a grasping motion towards Sukuna.
Within Toho Hiroshi's Domain, the Reincarnation Realm, Sukuna found himself in an unprecedented struggle.
This black and white world seemed to have a will of its own; all rules were dictated by Toho Hiroshi's Six-Tomoe Rinnegan.
Space was freely substituted, causality was forcibly twisted, and the attacks of the naruto shadow clones were elusive and impossible to guard against.
Sukuna's [Dismantle] and [Cleave], capable of severing anything, were often redirected elsewhere just as they were about to hit their target, or were endured by the naruto shadow clones on his behalf, and occasionally even twisted back, forcing him to dispel them himself.
"Bang! Bang!"
Sukuna, relying on a thousand years of combat experience and the tenacious neutralizing effect of Domain Expansion Mitigation, parried, dodged, and tore through invisible attacks from all directions again and again.
His four eyes rotated rapidly, trying to catch a loophole in the Domain's rules, but the foundation of the Reincarnation Realm was far deeper and more bizarre than any Domain he knew; it was more like an independent miniature world, and Toho Hiroshi was its sole master.
"Pfft—"
A naruto shadow clone attack that he couldn't completely avoid, imbued with a strange power that penetrated defenses, slammed heavily into Sukuna's ribs, making his throat sweet with blood, and he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.
Immediately after, a [Cleave] slash that he had dodged, under the reincarnation of causality, actually shot out from his own shadow, leaving a bone-deep wound on his back.
"Ugh..."
Sukuna let out a suppressed groan of pain, his eyes a mix of fury and excitement, but deeper within, a trace of unprecedented solemnity emerged.
He felt that not only was his physical body enduring damage, but even within the body he occupied, the soul consciousness belonging to Itadori Jin, which he had previously suppressed, seemed to be producing a faint, unnatural ripple due to the Domain's special rules and continuous damage impact.
Even worse, he felt that his own soul, the origin of the King of Curses, was also experiencing a sense of fatigue and drowsiness under the continuous suppression and causal interference of this black and white Domain.
As if it were about to be dragged into eternal slumber by this endless power of Rinnegan.
"How can I fall asleep here!"
Sukuna roared internally.
He would never allow himself to be defeated in such a humiliating manner, nor would he allow himself to be dragged down by the residual soul of a 'half-body reincarnation' whom he looked down upon.
Just as Toho Hiroshi manipulated the naruto shadow clones to launch a new, denser wave of attacks, simultaneously activating the Domain's power to completely solidify the space around Sukuna and impose the final seal, at this critical moment—
A highly concealed piece of Cursed Technique information, originating from the deep imprints within Itadori Jin's flesh and soul, flashed in Sukuna's four crimson eyes.
It was an extremely rare and soul-targeting Cursed Technique hidden within Itadori Jin's bloodline.
"There's no other way, I have to use this move!"
A ruthless and resolute expression appeared on Sukuna's face.
He didn't defend against the impending attacks; instead, he abruptly brought one hand back, fingers pressed together like a blade. What entwined it was not ordinary Cursed Energy, but an extremely restrained, directly soul-targeting vibrating force—this was precisely from Itadori Jin, a slashing Cursed Technique capable of directly harming the soul.
He roared, plunging this hand-blade without hesitation into his own chest.
Not into his physical heart, but directly at the core of his soul.
"Pfft—"
No blood splattered, but Sukuna's entire body violently shuddered, letting out a muffled groan of extreme pain.
An indescribable, agonizing pain, stemming from his soul being torn, instantly swept through his entire consciousness.
However, this extreme pain acted like the most potent stimulant, instantly dispelling the drowsiness and fatigue that had been eroding his soul.
Like using a hot iron to wake someone about to freeze, the intense pain stimulated his soul consciousness to become clearer and more condensed than ever before.
At this instant, he clearly felt that the last remaining trace of Itadori Jin's soul imprint within him, carrying boundless concern and guilt for his son, Itadori Yuji, under this self-inflicted soul-cutting attack, let out a final silent sigh like a flickering candle in the wind, and then completely dissipated, turning into nothingness.
The obstruction was completely removed, and soul and body were perfectly unified.
"Hoo... hoo... ha ha ha ha!"
Sukuna raised his head, letting out a sinister laugh filled with pain, but more so with relief and wild joy.
Where his hand-blade had pierced his chest, there was no blood, but a unique, chaotic fluctuation emanated, indicative of soul-level damage, yet this fluctuation was being forcibly suppressed and repaired by his even more powerful origin.
"This is the complete me!"
"Incarnated Body: True Form Restoration"
Along with Sukuna's roar, he no longer held back, activating the far-beyond-normal physical restoration Cursed Technique that this Incarnated Body could unleash after soul unification.
Dark red Cursed Energy surged from his body like boiling magma, enveloping him completely.
His body emitted a grating sound of cracking bones and tearing, reforming muscles.
His already strong physique further swelled, and the flesh on his shoulders and under his ribs violently wriggled. Accompanied by the sound of tearing cloth, two brand new arms, covered in black patterns, violently burst forth from his body.
The four-armed demon god form, reappeared in the world.
Moreover, this time, each of the four arms contained even more terrifying power; Cursed Energy flowed over them like a liquid, emitting a suffocating sense of oppression.
The wounds on his back and under his ribs rapidly healed under the effect of Reverse Cursed Technique, and even the soul-level trauma was temporarily and forcibly stabilized.
"It's not over yet!"
Sukuna simultaneously clenched all four fists, feeling the profound critical point within him, generated by the perfect resonance of extreme soul impact and Cursed Energy output.
