On the other side, Sukuna also sensed something was wrong, as Shin and Satoru did not launch the high-spirited combo technique he had anticipated. Instead, they slowly retreated to the side of Yuki and Yuta.
He seemed to suddenly realize something, and a wicked smile appeared on each of his three faces.
"Hahahaha... What's wrong, Jujutsu Sorcerer? Is your Cursed Technique temporarily unusable?"
"Fuga!"
Although he already had a suspicion, Sukuna still did not dare to approach Shin easily. After all, he couldn't be sure if Shin was intentionally feigning weakness to lure him in before hitting him with something massive.
Thus, Sukuna continued to activate his Cursed Technique from a distance to slowly confirm his suspicion.
A blazing fire arrow shot at high speed toward the four people in the distance. Shin took out a Splash Potion of Fire Resistance and smashed it onto the ground, granting all four of them the fire resistance effect. They tanked the fire arrow without taking any damage.
Satoru placed his hands on the shoulders of Yuki and Yuta, and in an instant, they arrived beside Sukuna.
Shin, who had been left behind, followed closely behind the three with a TP.
Once Yuta drew near Sukuna, he immediately drew the katana at his waist and slashed at him.
Yuki, not to be outdone, smashed her fist, imbued with Virtual Mass, toward his face.
Sukuna's six arms instantly turned a metallic color. His two left arms clamped onto Yuta's katana, his middle two arms crossed to block Yuki's punch, and his two right hands formed a seal to launch a counterattack.
Dismantle!
Countless slashes whistled toward Yuta and Yuki, while Satoru was ignored by Sukuna. After all, Satoru possessed Infinity. Attacking him outside of a domain was a complete waste of effort.
After the slashes forced Yuta and Yuki back, Sukuna saw a basketball-sized Red smashing toward his face, while behind him floated dozens of End Crystals thrown by Shin.
Boom... Boom... Boom...
Red knocked Sukuna back, forcing him to take the full explosive damage of several End Crystals. Each End Crystal's explosion would blast everything within its range into nothingness—including Sukuna's body, which had evolved at some point to radiate a metallic luster.
Boom!
Sukuna's mangled body crashed to the ground, but with his incredibly powerful Reverse Cursed Technique, he restored his broken frame to its original state almost instantly.
"Hahahaha... What a powerful attack. To think that even my body, evolved through Tengen's Cursed Technique to withstand that Red with only minor injuries, was annihilated?"
"But why didn't you use that move of yours to kill me instantly? Is it because you can't use it anymore?"
"Domain Expansion: Malevolent Shrine!"
Pillars rose from the ground, and countless slashes descended upon the four, shredding the ground and surrounding buildings to pieces.
"Domain Expansion: Genesis!"
Although the range of Sukuna's domain was large, Shin's domain was even larger, encompassing Sukuna's domain within it. However, Shin did not choose to collide head-on with Sukuna's domain. Instead, he used a Binding Vow to neutralize his domain's Guaranteed Hit effect with that of Sukuna's domain.
Shin wasn't confident he could completely dismantle Sukuna's domain with his own. After all, the current Sukuna had assimilated an unknown number of Special Grade and grade 1 Cursed Spirits, his Cursed Energy was terrifyingly vast.
Everyone said Yuta's Cursed Energy was infinite and could never be used up, but the current Sukuna's Cursed Energy reserves were even higher than Yuta's.
Moreover, Shin wasn't fighting alone now. He only needed to neutralize the Guaranteed Hit effect of Sukuna's domain. A mere Sukuna was nothing to fear.
However, Sukuna didn't show any look of surprise after his domain was neutralized by Shin. Instead, the faces on both sides of his head and his hands formed two different sets of seals.
"Domain Expansion: All Phenomena of Heaven and Earth!"
Boom!
The four of them saw a chaotic surge of energy spewing from the four mouths of the pillars in Sukuna's domain—gales, thunder, floods, dust, venom, fire...
Almost every dangerous substance present in the world could be found here. A brand-new domain expanded once again within the two overlapping large-scale domains, causing even Satoru to show a shocked expression.
"This... how can this be? Everyone has only one Domain Expansion. No matter how many Cursed Techniques are engraved in the body, it's impossible to have a second form of expression. At most, different techniques would be displayed within the same domain, but that's it. This should be an ironclad rule."
Yes, everyone's Domain Expansion is fixed from birth, and Domain Expansion is merely using a Cursed Technique as a skeleton and filling it with Cursed Energy to bring that Domain Expansion into reality.
But now Sukuna had expanded a dual domain simultaneously, which meant he currently possessed two Domain Expansions.
This reminded Shin of how Tengen's immortality behaved after assimilating a Star Plasma Vessel. The consciousness of the Star Plasma Vessel assimilated by Tengen does not disappear, it's just that Tengen's consciousness takes the dominant role.
Now, Sukuna had assimilated an unknown number of Cursed Spirits, and the consciousness of a vast number of Cursed Spirits likely occupied a large part of his own mind. The fragmented Domain Expansions of numerous Cursed Spirits had fused into a brand new Domain Expansion.
If even the Domain Expansion was like this, then what about the primary consciousness?
Shin now doubted whether Sukuna's primary consciousness was truly that King of Curses from a thousand years ago.
But now was not the time for such thoughts, as the surroundings were already filled with all sorts of chaotic energies.
Simple Domain!
The four, once again covered by the Guaranteed Hit effect, had no choice but to temporarily expand their Simple Domains, looking for an opportunity to get close to Sukuna and pull him into their own closed domains.
