Chapter 53 ended

the sky above the port area with personal hands, the barrier was closed, and the cursed energy roared violently between the cities like a raging wave.

Midtown, the center of Roppongi, has been marked as a high-risk core area by Geto Suguru's cursed spirit. At present, the whereabouts of Kagura Mio and Gojo Satoru are unknown, and the highest level of alert has been initiated in the entire 23 wards of Tokyo.

Almost everyone knows that this is a tough battle, a bloody fight where lives will be at stake.

The night was dark, and the wind from Tokyo Bay blew past the subway exits, lifting a few strands of hair on Geto's face.

He stood at Exit 3 of Roppongi Station, his tone calm and firm: "From now on, all personnel will deploy defenses using the JR stations and subway exits in the minato area as demarcation points, and everyone must act in groups." "

Our top priority is evacuation and rescue. My cursed spirit will follow each group for protection and fighting. Report immediately once you find Mio and Satoru's whereabouts."

His voice was transmitted crisply to everyone's ears through the mobile phone:

"I know this is a catastrophe, and it can even be called a world-destroying disaster. I don't want to wrap my words with so-called righteousness, so I just want to say to everyone:"

"Thank you for your hard work."

"The future and hope of mankind is in our hands."

Hearing Geto Suguru's voice, Ieiri Naoko's mouth curled up slightly, raised her eyebrows, and showed a slightly helpless expression: "Ah, it's still the same as always, that guy."

She said something about not wanting righteousness, but she ended up saying righteousness first.

"Jie is still the same." Yega Masamichi stood beside Ieiri Shoko, his hands on the railing, looking at Roppongi under the blood-red sky.

As usual, Ieiri Shoko was in charge of medical treatment, and he was in charge of guarding. As for Mingming -

she waved a crow feather and stepped into the air: "I will make sure that the outer cursed spirits do not cross the line."

[Akabane Bridge Station]

Fushiguro Megumi and Suguru Geto arrived first, "Akabane Bridge - a strategic high point."

The black-haired man has always been at the forefront, and the sea urchin-headed boy beside him has gradually become convinced by this former curse master.

He watched as Geto Suguru used the curse to block the east passage and was amazed at his strong planning ability.

It was past dusk and lights were on everywhere in the port area. The neon lights were inhumane and naturally did not know the seriousness of the situation. They only knew that it was time to light up -

the port area was brightly lit, cold but also warm. Looking at the figures of thousands of households who were clearing the way, Geto Summer Oil whispered: "Satoru's winning rate is not high. We must make sure no one disturbs him."

Zenin Maki played with a katana and laughed: "Didn't you say Satoru couldn't do it before the war? You two are really good friends."

But Geto Summer Oil said nothing, just stared at the sky, his tone a little melancholy: "No matter what, I will lose a friend today, right?"

[Shiba Park Station]

Otsutsukota Yuta, Inumaki Satoru, and Panda were sent to the area around Shiba Park where there were densely populated cursed spirits.

"Eh - so many."

Panda scratched his head and looked at Inumaki Ji beside him, "Is this okay?"

"Ji Cai (Leave it to me)."

"We can't let Ji face these alone." Otsutsuki Yuta smiled, and a huge white cursed spirit flashed behind him, "Rika, eat them."

[Shinagawa Station]

Ino, wearing black clothes and a black headdress, hid in the dark alley, and his tone of voice was full of respect, "Mr. Nanami, what should we do next?"

Nanami Kento, wearing a suit, walked calmly from behind and adjusted his glasses.

He tugged at his tie and said, "Just do your best."

Although he said that,

the moment the cursed spirit began to be uncontrollably disturbed by Kagura Mio's cursed power, he still raised his hand nonchalantly, and the cursed power was released with a bang. The Three-Seven-Point Sorcerer shook the cursed spirit in front of him so hard that it twisted violently.

Yuji Itadori's eyes widened: "Is Nanami angry?"

[Omotesando Station]

Kugisaki Nobara and Zenin Mai team up to set up the formation.

"Don't pull my skirt, Mayi," Kugisaki spat, raising his hand to fix the needle.

"If you didn't want to use this strategy of luring the enemy, no one would want to cooperate with you." Mayi retorted to her, and as a result, both of them were criticized by Zenin Naoya.

"It's just two incompetent women fighting each other."

He sneered and looked at Zenin Naohito: "How interesting, that woman is still alive?"

His father Zenin Naohito looked like he didn't want to go to work - he had just been dragged out of the bar, and was pulling his beard silently. When he heard his son's words, he just glanced at him indifferently: "Stop talking nonsense."

Not daring to disobey his father, Zenin Naoya closed his eyes tightly and snorted.

The moment the group chat call was connected, all the teams scattered around the port area heard the instructions from the special-grade sorcerer Geto Suguru: "Cheer up, everyone - tonight, we are going to bet everything on our faith and usher in the dawn of mankind."

Thunder rumbled, and crisscrossing threads appeared above the port area, like a script woven by fate. And these people

are the last spark of humanity that will tear apart that destiny.

They knew that this journey was difficult, and they also knew that if Gojo Satoru couldn't handle it, they would be dead.

But -

there are always some things in life that are more important than life itself.

This also applies to Gojo Satoru.

There was only blood red left between heaven and earth.

Gojo Satoru looked at the dazzling red threads in front of him. Something in his chest was vibrating violently, as if it was about to jump out at any time.

The six-eyed son of God lowered his eyes gently.

"Mio Mio..."

Time went back to half an hour ago.

Kagura Mio's consciousness briefly took over her body, but was eventually forced back by the technique. The moment the technique was activated, Gojo Satoru saw the serious and thorough desire in Kagura Mio's eyes.

She was asking him to kill her.

He breathed softly, knowing that perhaps it had finally come to this.

The procedure started first.

She waved her hand in the air, and the red silk thread was like a burning fire, tearing the sky and the earth apart in an instant. Countless steaming flames ignited instantly, dyeing the entire sky a blood-red color.

That was no ordinary attack, it was a soul-burning bondage. Each thread carried the power to melt the flesh and burn the will, and its target was directly aimed at Gojo Satoru's heart.

"Just watch carefully, Six-eyed Son of God."

She smiled sweetly, her voice enchanting but hollow, as if she was looking down at the tiny human beings from a high position.

Gojo Satoru did not dodge.

He stood there, the blindfold that had been taken off long ago revealing his eyes completely. The white hair swayed slightly along with the countless winding red threads.

He was silent and had nothing to say, but the moment his six eyes, which were like glass beads, opened, the world seemed to be quiet.

The figure in the college uniform was tall and handsome, standing against the burning sea of ​​fire, like a god descending to earth.

The next second, he moved.

Purple light gradually condensed at his fingertips.

"Is that all you can do? It's really... not good enough."

Amidst a huge roar, powerful purple cursed energy surged out, and the cursed energy that penetrated the void exploded above Roppongi. It was the divine power of destruction, the limit of power that human beings can reach - enough to destroy all the red threads.

The heaven and earth roared.

Tsk.

Evolved?

Quite clever.

Still... somewhat interesting.

Shushi narrowed his eyes and snorted softly. Countless red lines intertwined into a huge net that spread out in the void, trying to completely swallow up Gojo Satoru's attack.

But the moment the purple cursed power exploded in the air, the red lines were instantly ignited.

A violent roar exploded in the sky above Roppongi, countless so-called cutting-edge glass shattered, reinforced concrete walls collapsed, and the once prosperous and magnificent port area was reduced to a living hell in an instant.

Gojo Satoru did not retreat.

He walked towards her step by step.

He understands.

Many things and many emotions are understandable enough in certain life-and-death moments. All the unspeakable emotions in the past that could not be told to others due to self-esteem or self-suppression are now clear at this moment.

Although he still didn't understand why the woman with the stitches on her head would tell him that he killed the last chance to save her.

But——

"That has to be ended by my own hands."

As the words fell, Gojo Satoru looked into his eyes. In the six eyes full of divinity were the enlightened Kong Ming. His cursed power boiled over as he became more insightful, and the spell pattern connecting heaven and earth quickly unfolded in the void. The flames of the magic rituals surrounding him quickly ignited along with his unlimited strength, and the purple-gold curse fire burned around his entire body, igniting the void and the magic ritual itself.

She narrowed her eyes and raised her eyebrows, but her body suddenly shook the next moment.

It hurts so much...

For the first time, she felt as if her soul was being burned by a raging fire. That feeling was definitely not good - it could almost annihilate her consciousness.

So she attacked without hesitation -

the red line followed like a shadow, transforming into thousands of sharp blades, trying to tear Gojo Satoru into pieces completely.

But Gojo Satoru did not retreat.

He went to meet him.

Red and purple-blue intertwined in mid-air, and a red thread wrapped around his forearm, but in an instant it backfired on the technique itself.

The technique was stunned.

"You..."

She felt it.

A strange pain came from the heart, as if being pricked by a needle or burned by fire.

"Gojo Satoru, what did you do?"

Her eyes widened.

But Gojo Satoru himself didn't know what happened.

Just at this moment - the red thread wrapped around him seemed to be torn apart by the resonance. In the violent shock, countless red threads entangled into a vortex of heart fire, like a furnace that swallowed everything, and fell down with a loud bang.

Gojo Satoru suddenly realized something.

Now the ritual was entangled in silk threads, trapped in its own cocoon, and it looked just like -

Chikako Hachiya.

Once I thought of this person, everything in my mind seemed to be burned by the fire of karma and became clear in an instant.

Kagura Mio has always been interested in Ikeda Jinsaburo and the Hachiya siblings, but perhaps it is not because of their existence, but simply because of - the ritual.

There aren't many techniques that use silk threads, and Gojo Satoru has only encountered a handful of them so far, not to mention that Chikako Hachiya also has the shadow of music in her.

In a way, she is simply a low-profile version of Kagura Mio.

It was perfectly normal for Kagura Mio to be curious about her -

at that time, she realized through Ikeda Jinsaburo that she could have a true spiritual resonance with cursed spirits and humans; and Hachiya Chikako made her think about the existence of her own technique.

The Fengya siblings forcibly created a by-product and then precisely attacked the by-product to cause self-injury to the main body. In other words, can she also resonate with the ritual? Kagura Mio, the container itself, is the most perfect by-product of the technique. If we attack Kagura Mio herself, can we achieve a damage effect on the technique a hundred, a thousand, or even ten thousand times greater?

He became aware of this when he and Gojo Satoru were investigating the Hachiya siblings.

At that time, Kagura Mio had prepared for the worst.

She does not need to establish any restraints, because she and the ritual are one—

she resonates with the ritual.

If one day, she loses control and stands on the opposite side of Gojo Satoru.

Then, as long as Gojo Satoru strikes "Kagura Mio", the technique will suffer more serious damage.

Gojo Satoru certainly didn't know the specific details of these processes, but he knew clearly that

this was what Kagura Mio had prepared for him.

It was not destined, but premeditated.

The woman in front of him whose arm was suddenly burned by a red line frowned and looked at Gojo Satoru with a puzzled look: "What did you do?"

"It's not what I did, but what she did."

Gojo Satoru said softly.

The cursed power in his body was boiling, like a god walking out of the fire, and a pious and divine smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"It's like you don't understand."

"The one who truly loves you will prepare the way forward and backward for you."
