Dabura wasn't surprised when he saw Gojo reviving from the possibly most lethal damage he dealt so far, aside from crushing Gojo's heart from inside his body.
"I'm aware of your continuous resurrection, and it's also actually quite frustrating. Though, it doesn't matter because soon I'll sever your soul connection with this body."
Dabura responded with an attack.
Using his main technique, he summoned five beams of solid light pillars that descended from the sky and pierced through Gojo's waist, two hands, and two legs simultaneously.
They descended at sub-light speed, making it practically impossible to dodge them by Gojo while ignoring the fact that he wasn't even prepared for something like this.
"Perhaps you thought I could only copy others' techniques."
The motive behind this attack wasn't to kill Gojo, as Dabura already knew that for now, it was rather impossible.
Dabura deliberately used these pillars to put restrictions on Gojo's body. Of course, he wasn't certain if these pillars could hold Gojo for even a couple of seconds.
But there's no loss in trying.
***
'Aside from the speed of this attack, there is nothing special about it.'
Gojo lampooned inwardly and tried to move his body. This made him realize the strength needed to free himself from the long pillars.
He also understood that the only method that is currently best is to forcefully move his body so that his flesh gets ripped apart and bones get shattered.
It is impossible to pull out the entire pillar from the earth because of its length; forcefully moving the body was the only remaining and effective method.
Of course, if Gojo were a living human, this method would be nothing less than suicide to escape from shackles.
***
Determined, Gojo began forcefully moving his body in different directions.
But suddenly he came to a halt. A realization struck him. His pupils shrank as his body shivered by just thinking about this.
'Infinity—yes! My infinity! These pillars directly bypassed my infinity. Why didn't I think about it earlier? How is it possible?! These pillars also don't look like they have any cursed energy cancellation effect. There isn't a domain for sure-hit effects either. Then how?!'
The fact that light pillars tore through his infinity left Gojo in a deep shock.
Just a moment after, he checked that his infinity was active, but still it showed zero resistance toward light pillars.
Just as he was thinking about the reason why his infinity let these pillars pass, his gaze landed on Dabura.
"Haha—as I expected."
Dabura laughed and raised his right hand at the same time.
A colorless, or rather colorful, flame enveloped his fist as it blazed around his hand.
It had changing colors and seemed to deliver no damage to Dabura, who let the flames dance above his own hands without any fear.
"I know what you are thinking. And the reason behind it is before your eyes. This is one of the greatest techniques I copied. And I copied it from a skilled swordsman that you were trying to save.
"These flames, as he recited its name, are called FLAMES OF CONTRADICTION. On my will, I can do anything with these flames in a certain space. These flames are embodiments of a domain itself."
Dabura revealed the secret about this, as he knew that revealing his techniques would strengthen their effect further.
He continued.
"Unfortunately, that man was unable to use these flames continuously due to his lack of strength. But surely, I will use them to their greatest extent. What a pity to think that this technique ended up in my hands."
He flicked his hand, causing the flames to vanish instantly.
"Now there are only three of you remaining."
Dabura looked at Hojo, Michizane, and Izumi at the same time with the six eyes that appeared on his face out of nowhere.
In the next instant, his body turned into something unrecognizable, similar to a fluid.
The fluid changed its shape, and four extra hands appeared on Dabura's body. From his waist, ten tentacles shot out and swept across the entire ten-meter range furiously.
Body manipulation, or rather, soul manipulation.
Dabura had gained a vast amount of knowledge of jujutsu, and it was enough to make him copy the techniques of sorcerers that existed in the past.
"He's using Mahito's soul manipulation to achieve a perfect body of Sukuna. Even something more powerful."
Gojo muttered, watching the show before his eyes in astonishment and awe.
"Just wait for a moment—"
Dabura said when the multiple eyes formed on each tentacle. Enough to watch in every possible direction.
"I can't process all the input from my single brain; let me—"
Simultaneously, ten brains grew in ten tentacles, providing ten more processors for Dabura.
He would think, plan, control, and anticipate—each brain carrying different actions.
The peak of perfection. Even Sukuna's Heian Era form was nothing compared to this.
"Finally done! Now, all of you, attack me at the same time."
He tried to urge Hojo and others to fight him at the same time.
And there was confidence in his tone.
Because at the next moment, two mouths appeared on his face. With his four hands raised and locked into a hand sign, both mouths recited simultaneously.
"DOMAIN EXPANSION: MALEVOLENT SHRINE"
"DOMAIN EXPANSION: INFINITE VOID"
