Chapter 55: Tsukuyomi Space vs. Unlimited Void
Several days later, at the Jujutsu High training grounds.
A suffocatingly powerful surge of Cursed Energy swept through the entire Tokyo Jujutsu High School, causing the Barrier to hum under the strain.
All the teachers and students looked in horror toward the source of the pressure.
"Hahaha—I, Gojo Satoru, am back! It feels like the whole world has become clearer!"
Accompanied by arrogant and unrestrained laughter, Gojo Satoru's figure appeared in the center of the training grounds as if by instantaneous movement.
He was still wearing his small round sunglasses, but the aura emanating from him was completely different from before he left; it was an aura of greater perfection.
During this trip, he successfully mastered Domain Expansion—"Unlimited Void."
Almost simultaneously, Toho Hiroshi's figure silently appeared before him, as if he had been waiting there all along.
"Oh? It seems you've finally taken that step."
Toho Hiroshi looked at the imposing Gojo Satoru, his tone calm.
"Of course!"
Gojo Satoru snatched off his sunglasses. His azure Rikugan / Six Eyes sparkled with excitement and extreme fighting intent, as if countless stars were being born and extinguished within them. "The current me is the true 'the strongest'! Toho, it's time to return the title of 'the strongest' to me!"
He pointed at Toho Hiroshi, his voice echoing to the sky: "Let's duel! Right here, right now! Let me see if your Sharingan can still defeat my Rikugan / Six Eyes."
Toho Hiroshi looked at the boiling fighting spirit of Gojo Satoru, and a hint of imperceptible sharpness flashed in his own eyes.
He slowly raised his head, and his scarlet Mangekyo Sharingan instantly activated, the eerie pattern slowly rotating.
"As you wish."
Without any further unnecessary words, the figures of the two instantly vanished from their spots.
Boom!
Inside the training grounds, terrifying energy shockwaves raged wildly.
Gojo Satoru, who had activated the complete Limitless Void, achieved unprecedented levels of mobility and defense.
The attraction of [Blue] and the repulsion of [Red] were used effortlessly, and the combined application of [Purple] was like a devastating cannon strike, continuously bombarding Toho Hiroshi.
As for Toho Hiroshi, he moved like a phantom through the distorted space. Kamui Intangibility ignored the vast majority of attacks, while the scarlet blade in his hand carved out deadly scarlet trajectories, and the occasionally condensed Susanoo skeletal arm launched savage counterattacks.
Both of their speeds were extreme, leaving countless afterimages in the air. The clash of Cursed Energy caused the entire training ground floor to continuously crack and sink. Spectators couldn't even capture their movements, only feeling the terrifying, soul-shattering energy fluctuations.
"The warm-up should be over now, Toho!"
Gojo Satoru laughed loudly, suddenly raising his right hand and forming the Taishakuten Mudra. "Let's see how you break this move!"
"Domain Expansion—'Unlimited Void'!"
Instantly, centered on Gojo Satoru, a dark sphere seemingly containing infinite cosmic stars rapidly expanded, intending to completely swallow Toho Hiroshi.
Inside that Domain, infinite information would be forcibly poured into the brain, enough to make any opponent instantly lose consciousness and become defenseless.
However, just as that endless darkness was about to swallow Toho Hiroshi—
Toho Hiroshi's Mangekyo Sharingan rotated to its maximum, and a profound mental power, distinct from Cursed Energy, erupted.
"Did you think you were the only one with a Domain?"
"Domain Expansion—Tsukuyomi Space!"
Toho Hiroshi did not form the hand sign required for Domain Expansion, nor was there a massive Domain Expansion phenomenon, but on the spiritual level, the two supreme Domains violently collided.
Gojo Satoru only felt the scene before his eyes suddenly change—
He did not succeed in pulling Toho Hiroshi into his "Unlimited Void"; instead, his own consciousness was forcibly dragged into another world.
This was a blood-red, eerie space where the sky was dominated by a huge, demonic moon.
He found himself firmly bound to a massive cross, unable to move, unable even to activate the Limitless Void.
Below him were countless emotionless Toho Hiroshis, holding cold katanas, lined up neatly, stretching to the edge of his vision.
"What is this?"
Gojo Satoru's Rikugan / Six Eyes spun frantically, attempting to analyze this space, but he realized that his Rikugan / Six Eyes, which could see through all Cursed Techniques, had lost their effectiveness for the first time in this world constructed purely of extreme mental power.
All the rules here were dictated by the caster.
"Welcome to Tsukuyomi Space."
Countless Toho Hiroshis spoke simultaneously, their cold, overlapping voices echoing in the silent world. "Here, space, time, mass—everything is decided by me."
"Hmph! An illusionary technique? Watch me burst it open!"
Gojo Satoru gritted his teeth, attempting to use his massive Cursed Energy to blast through this mental world.
However, in this space, his Cursed Energy seemed completely isolated and impossible to summon.
Just then, the foremost "Toho Hiroshi" raised the katana in his hand and stepped onto the void, approaching the bound Gojo Satoru.
"Here, you will experience seventy-two hours of extreme pain."
Toho Hiroshi declared coldly, and then, without hesitation, violently plunged the long sword in his hand into Gojo Satoru's abdomen!
"Ugh ah—!"
Intense pain, far exceeding physical perception, instantly swept through Gojo Satoru's every nerve.
This pain was incredibly real, acting directly on the depths of his soul, surpassing all previous injuries he had sustained.
Even more terrifyingly, his mind was perfectly clear; he couldn't pass out and could only endure this endless torment, minute by minute.
"Toho Hiroshi, you son of a bitch, you actually stabbed me—!"
Gojo Satoru let out a distorted scream of pain in the mental world, but his azure Rikugan / Six Eyes burst forth with a brighter, more unyielding light amidst the extreme suffering.
However, this torment did not last the seventy-two hours Toho Hiroshi had declared.
In the real world, only an instant had passed.
Bang!
With a soft sound like shattering glass, the lingering remnants of the "Unlimited Void" around Gojo Satoru completely vanished.
He himself stumbled abruptly, clutching his abdomen with one hand. His face was momentarily pale, a rare sight. Fine cold sweat beaded on his forehead beneath his sunglasses, and his breathing was slightly hurried.
"Cough~"
He coughed softly and shook his head, seemingly trying to expel the lingering phantom pain from his mind.
The mental shock of Tsukuyomi Space was indeed terrifying, acting directly on the soul and bypassing the defenses of the Limitless Void.
But Gojo Satoru was Gojo Satoru; his soul strength and mental resilience far surpassed ordinary people. Furthermore, Toho Hiroshi's intention was not to torture but merely to display power and break his Domain, so he deliberately controlled the intensity and duration of the Tsukuyomi.
More importantly, at the last moment, Gojo Satoru's Rikugan / Six Eyes seemed to instinctively begin analyzing the composition of that mental power. Although he couldn't immediately break it, it greatly accelerated his recovery from the shock.
"Satoru, are you okay?"
Geto Suguru flashed into the vicinity, his tone filled with concern. Although he hadn't clearly seen what happened, he could sense that Gojo Satoru had suffered a major setback.
"I'm fine, I'm fine~"
Gojo Satoru, however, suddenly straightened up and stretched dramatically. The paleness instantly faded from his face, replaced by his usual cynical smile, as if the previous moment of distress had never occurred.
He raised a hand to stop Shoko, who was approaching, and his gaze behind the sunglasses burned brightly as he looked at Toho Hiroshi, who stood calmly opposite him.
