Sukuna, who was floating in mid-air, suddenly went black before his eyes and lost consciousness, falling straight down from the sky. As he fell, his body gradually turned into ashes.
However, the moment he completely dissipated, Satoru suddenly looked up into the distance.
"Oh... Shin, how many more times can you use that move from just now?"
Shin glanced at his experience bar. The kill command he had just used consumed a full three thousand levels. Fortunately, he had one hundred and fifty experience farms constantly providing him with experience points. Otherwise, he would have run out of experience points after just a few uses.
"Without any extra consumption, I can only use it six times a day. However, in extreme situations, using it twenty times shouldn't be a problem."
Satoru nodded and said, "Very good. Sukuna isn't fully dead yet. The moment this Sukuna died, I detected a fluctuation of Cursed Energy from Sukuna in a place beyond the range of your Cursed Technique. I guess he has prepared quite a few spare bodies."
Shin shook his head helplessly and said,
"Is it that old trick of soul clones again? Doesn't he ever get tired of it?"
The principle of this method is to strip a portion of power and soul from the main body and keep them in a dormant state. Before the main body dies, this separated soul clone is no different from being dead, but after the main body dies, the soul clone will inherit the memories and revive.
However, this way, the main body's Cursed Energy and soul power will both weaken. This method is generally pretty stupid. But for dealing with someone like Shin, whose Cursed Technique information is vague, sacrificing a bit of power to extract information is perfect.
Whoosh—
Just as Satoru was talking to Shin, a horizontal slash tens of meters long flew over from the distance, intending to cut everyone in half.
Shin immediately issued a command to clear the area of all irrelevant personnel.
/Excluding Kagura Shin, Gojo Satoru, Tsukumo Yuki, Okkotsu Yuta, and Ryomen Sukuna, all living beings within the coverage area of the Command Block are teleported to the very edge of the Command Block
In an instant, the surroundings cleared up.
Shin put on his Anti-Sukuna Armor and charged straight toward the slash. The moment the slash touched the armor enchanted with the [Reflect Everything] effect, it simply vanished, and Sukuna in the distance was cut in half by his own slash.
The biggest difference between the [Reflect Everything] effect and [Thorns] is that it reflects the characteristics of the attack as well.
For example, if the opponent's attack has a "kill instantly" characteristic, then the reflected attack also has that characteristic, whereas the [Thorns] effect simply causes damage to the opponent when receiving damage.
Sukuna's Cursed Energy core was clearly different and not in his abdomen. Rather, his entire body was covered with dense, intricate Cursed Techniques. Every part of his body was a Cursed Energy core, so he could quickly restore his original state even after being cut in half.
"Hahahaha... What's wrong? Won't you kill me again? Or is it that you want to kill me but can't? Is it because your Cursed Technique has a range limit? Hahahaha... The effective range of my slash is much larger than your Cursed Technique. As long as I am not in your range, you can't do anything to me."
Shin did not speak, but silently issued a new set of commands.
/Generate Command Block
/Command Block automatically expands outward
/Command Block hidden, disable visual effects, disable collision volume
He wore an anxious expression on the surface, but in reality, he was constantly sensing the expansion results of the Command Block.
He said, "Gojo-sensei, I'll have to trouble you to teleport me to Sukuna's side. I think such a short distance is nothing to you, right?"
"Of course. There's no way he can react to it."
Satoru reached out and placed his hand on Shin's shoulder, instantly disappearing from the spot with him.
When Satoru disappeared, Sukuna in the distance knew this body was about to be gone again. Sure enough, Shin used another command to destroy this body as well.
Further away, one of Sukuna's soul clones awakened. Now, a trace of gravity appeared on his face. Although he had the Cursed Technique Immortality and could have endless clones, if he couldn't crack Shin's Cursed Technique, no matter how many soul clones he had, it was just serving himself up on a platter.
And this revived body couldn't escape the detection of the Six Eyes, so it could only be forced to serve itself up.
Although he was definitely at a disadvantage now, he couldn't skip any of the required trash talk. This is what you call despising the enemy tactically while respecting the enemy strategically.
"It's useless. Possessing Immortality, I have countless clones. Even if my remaining clones can't even defeat an ordinary person, I, possessing Immortality, will constantly evolve."
"I have hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of years to become stronger, while you? You only have a short hundred years. You will never be able to defeat me in the end."
After listening to this, Shin suddenly realized something.
"That's right. I almost forgot. Thanks for the reminder. Well then—"
