Glory to my chief Proofreader; Solare for he is the one who points out mistakes and acts as my favourite wall to bounce ideas off of.
I recommend playing "Blizzard" by Daichi Mura from the Dragon Ball Super Broly Movie for this chapter when the fight starts.
The JJK National Anthem 'Judas' also works as usual for any Gojo fight.
You might wanna keep them on Loop if you do play them, This is the Biggest Chapter I've ever Written (7791 Words)

------------------------------------------------------------------------
4 Days Later.
Tomb of The Star.
"So you guys are placing Bets on who wins?" Megumi asked as he stretched his legs, feeling his white and Black clothing shift over his body somewhat loosely to allow quick and easy movement.
The Divine Lord currently had about 26 Fingers Worth of Cursed Energy in reserves, Mechamaru had proven himself to be an invaluable Investment.
He watched as his comrades and friends all handed over increasingly huge piles of money to Mei Mei who grabbed them all with a smile, counting them before placing them into a pile with the rest. The entire area around them had been shifted to be that now familiar lush green plane.
"Yup, this is gonna be good money if you lose. So.. Please lose, 'Kay?" Nobara said with a shameless grin while handing Mei Mei a stack of money which totalled to around 1000 dollars.
"Uh-huh… And what are the odds lookin like?" He questioned, turning to the silver haired woman who was hosting the betting pool to begin with.
"2 to 8 – And unfortunately, not for your side." She answered as she quickly counted all the cash and placed it in the much bigger betting pool.
"I'm guessing you're betting for Satoru too?" Megumi asked with a deadpan stare, receiving only a light giggle in response.
"Well~, a girl's gotta make her money somehow~!" She replied cheekily while shrugging, she was also going to Broadcast the Fight Live to the eternity of the Jujutsu Society, there was a lot of money to be made from that after all.
"I Appreciate the vote of confidence…"
"Don't worry about her Meg, I bet on you."
Hearing that voice just as he was about to sigh, he turned to face its owner and found it to be coming from Shoko.
"I put 80k on you, you better not make me waste my money here." She said with a sly grin on her face as she leaned back in her chair.
"HAH! Then I hope you're ready to be Rich, cuz I'd rather be Dead and Buried than lose today!" Megumi declared with an assured grin.
"Fuckin' better, I put too much on you for you to fail and make me waste it all." Maki ordered while looking away with arms crossed, beside her sat Yuta who had an apologetic look on his face as he laughed awkwardly.
"How much is 'too much' in this scenario?" He asked, curious as to how much she placed for him.
"About 45 thousand, but she would never admit to that in front of you cuz she's a Tsundere- ARGH!" Panda said teasingly but was cut off by an elbow to his side that caused him to double over in agony.
"Kelp!" Inumaki called out in worry for his friend as he helped him stay up without falling to the ground.
"...I assume the rest of you all bet on Satoru?" Megumi questioned with some amusement evident in his voice, drawing nods and confirmations from his 3 upperclassmen.
"Yeah, no offence Fushiguro but I just can't imagine Gojo-sensei losing to anyone…" Yuta said with a small chuckle, some nervousness showing in his tone but his confidence in his teacher's Strength was more than evident.
"Good choice, Yuta!"
They all collectively turned to face the source of the voice, finding it to be none other than Satoru Gojo with Utahime Iori by his side. He wore a tight-fitting black shirt, white baggy training pants with a black belt weaved through the waist, and black martial arts slippers along with a white Haori over his clothes.

"You're completely right, I Will Win." He declared with a confident grin.
Ignoring the white haired man beside her, Utahime walked towards Mei Mei and quietly handed her a huge stack of cash. The Silver haired woman giggled slightly before quickly counting the money and placing it on Megumi's side, drawing an almost betrayed look from Gojo.
"Good choice, Utahime-sensei! I too am going to bet greatly on my Good Friend!" Todo shouted as he made his way towards the group, having just entered the Tomb of the Star.
"Oh hey, what's up my Bruzza?!" He shouted a moment later, waving towards Yuji who was currently chatting to Choso, Itadori cheerfully waved back to him followed by his brother who did the same out of courtesy.
The two blood brothers were currently bonding over the few things they had together, the pink haired vessel wasn't too sure what to think of the man who called himself his 'big bro' but he liked him well enough so far.
Todo handed over about 56 thousand dollars to Mei Mei with a grin, all the money being bet on his good friend who he knew without a shadow of a doubt will Win.
"Ah, it seems like everyone is here. Good, we shall begin soon."
They all turned to face the source of the voice, finding it to be that of Master Tengen who came towards the group from a hole in space. Tsumiki also walked beside her, she had a brilliant smile on her face as she waved towards Megumi and walked over to him.
However, as soon as Aoi Todo laid his eyes upon Tsumiki Fushiguro, Memories began flowing into his Mind.. Memories That Didn't Exist.
…
"I'm gonna confess my Love to Tsumiki-chan." Todo declared with a determined expression.
Itadori Yuji turned to face his Best Friend with an amused grin, he sighed before speaking.
"Oh? You finally gathered the balls to tell her? About damned time! Everyone in school knows how much you two like each other." Yuji said as he patted his best friend on the back goodnaturedly.
"Is it really that obvious?" Todo questioned with an embarrassed tone.
"Buddy, if there was any proof needed for me to know that True Love is Real, it would be how you two look at each other!"
A second later, Todo found himself under a cherry blossom tree. Before him was Tsumiki Fushiguro who held a small opened love letter with a crimson blush on her face.
"I like you too, Todo-kun. But… I'm gonna move away with my Brother soon so I can't accept your love now. Maybe if we meet again, you can ask me then and we can get together, 'Kay?"
"F-For Real?!" Todo asked with an excited grin, drawing a giggle from the black haired girl before him.
"Yeah, For Real. Pinky Promise!" She said before offering a pinky towards the muscular man which he accepted gleefully.
…
Ignoring all Logic and Survival Instincts, Aoi Todo sprinted ahead and slid on the ground towards Tsumiki. He stopped just before her right between her and Megumi, he then reached a hand forwards and grabbed her hand before asking her the question he has been waiting years to ask.
"Tsumiki-chan, Will You Marry Me?"
"Eh?!"
Something important to note is that this is the first time that Aoi Todo has ever met Tsumiki Fushiguro and also the first time he had laid eyes on her. However it seems that through delusion alone, Aoi Todo had managed to remember what her name would be without ever hearing it before.
"T-This is a bit too Bold for our first time meeting, don't you think?" Tsumiki replied, hiding her already burning crimson face with her other hand.
It seems that Tsumiki Fushiguro shares her brother's interest in Muscular people with Strong Personalities.
"True love can not be denied- eh?" Todo continued on but was stopped by a hand grasping his shoulder with a vice grip followed by a wave of Malice and Rage, turning to face its owner and finding it to be Megumi Fushiguro.
The Lord of Shadow's face was covered completely with darkness as the only thing visible was his enraged Goldish Crimson eyes staring into his Soul. Cursed Energy rolled off of his body in droves, he could almost swear he could even see the Kanji for 'Death' forming around him.
"What the Fuck do you think you're Doing with my Sister?"
Despite his voice containing promises of nothing but Limitless Violence and Agony, Aoi Todo still had no fear and let his feelings be known without care for his own Mortal Life.
"Fate has made us Good Friends, But your sister shall make us Family!"
The hand gripping onto his shoulder tightened in response to his Declaration, causing his bones to crack and fracture as the Cursed Energy pressure all but Doubled.
"Todo… Do you know what a Vibraslap is?"
"No, what is that Fushigobro?"
"Don't worry, you're about to get Intimately Familiar…"
The Divine General appeared from his master's shadow, noting that his Master had never been this Distressed in the time he was in his service, not even when he was fighting for the Fate of the World against Ryomen Sukuna.
Just as the grade one sorcerer was about to lose a limb, Satoru Gojo came up and started complaining which drew Megumi's attention from the dead man walking.
"Come on~! Let's just start the fight already!"
The Lord of Shadows growled in rage before proceeding to back hand Todo, sending the muscular man flying out of the Tomb of the Star.
CRASH!
"Fine! Yuji, Maki!" He shouted a moment later, drawing the attention of both his friends.
"Make sure Todo stays at least 200 Metres away from my sister at all times or I'LL CHOP HIS FUCKING BALLS OFF!"
He got an amused chuckle and an exasperated sigh in return, with that done he and Satoru then walked towards Tengen who awaited them near the top of the hill.
"It seems like you're both ready, shall we begin?" Tengen asked, her arms crossed while waiting for them to be ready for the battle.
"Go on." "Yeah, Yeah come on!"
With a nod the Immortal sorcerer raised an arm before snapping a finger, a moment later the ground beneath their feet peeled away before reforming a second later. In mere moments, an entire city had been birthed from nothing between them.
Both Satoru Gojo and Megumi Fushiguro stood on top of buildings on opposing sides of the City, it was built to mimic exactly how Shinjuku looked like. It functionally acted exactly like the real version so it would work perfectly for this fight.
Shoko walked up from their viewing platform and held a microphone in her hand, tapping it once as her voice reverberated throughout the entire city.
"Alright~! No Rules for this fight! Just don't Kill Each other too Hard, 'Kay?! There's only so much I can save!"
Silence followed her announcement, The Honoured One and The Lord of Shadows stared each other down from opposite sides of the city. It was Satoru Gojo who spoke first with a bellowing shout.
"YO MEGUMI! I BET YOU CAN'T CATCH THIS PURPLE WITH YOUR BARE HANDS AND NO CURSED TECHNIQUE!"
"THAT'S FUCKING RETARDED, WHY WOULD I-?!"
"UNLESS YOU'RE SCARED?!"
Crack!
The sound of distant breaking glass could be heard as veins bulged on the Shade Lord's forehead before he raised his hands and shouted right back.
"FINE THEN YOU BLUE EYED TWINK! GIVE ME YOUR BEST SHOT!!"
With a maniacal laugh, Satoru Gojo raised his hands and began chanting while channelling his Cursed Technique. Not a single step was skipped in utilising his Ultimate Attack, the beginning of this battle will be an Explosive One.
"Phase. Twilight. Eyes of Wisdom."
"Cursed Technique Lapse: Blue!"
An Azure Singularity was formed by his right side.
"Phase. Paramitta. Pillars of Light."
"Cursed Technique Reversal: Red!"
A Crimson Singularity was formed by his left side.
"Nine Ropes. Polarised Light. Crow and Declaration. Between Front and Back!"
Both Singularities merged within The Honoured One's Hand.
"Imaginary Technique: Maximum Output HOLLOW PURPLE!"
The Lord of Shadows activated his Domain Amplification at Maximum capacity as he watched a nigh invisible wave of Pure Annihilation rend the City before him to ashes and dust.
BOOOOOOOM!
Satoru Gojo crossed the entirety of the destruction in less than instant, appearing before a clump of smoke which faded away to reveal Megumi Fushiguro who had lost his outer Haori along with his forearms which were regenerating by the second.
It had Truly Begun, a Battle Meant for Legends Alone!
The Six Eyes and Limitless User Vs The Wielder of The Ten Shadows!
The Honoured One Vs The Lord of Shadows!
The Strongest Sorcerer of Today Vs The Strongest Sorcerer of Tomorrow!
"You really think it'll be any different this time just because you got a bit stronger while I was sealed? You're just gonna lose again." Satoru declared as he threw away his Haori to fight in just his Black Compression Shirt.
Megumi Fushiguro simply grinned maniacally at that proclamation as he laughed before reaching his hands up and Speaking.
"Nah, I'd Adapt."
The Six eyes widened in surprise as instead of Summoning the Shikigami he expected, the Wielder of The Ten Shadows chanted at the top of his lungs.
"INCARNATION: DIVINE GENERAL MAHORAGA!"
Purplish Obsidian flames of cursed energy reached up to the sky, they heralded the Arrival of the Shade Lord's True Form. Curiously enough, they also obliterated his upper clothing with their power which revealed his second mouth and 4 Arms to Satoru Gojo.
They showed his newly formed Tattoos of Nue and the Divine Dogs along with the Funeral Tiger's stripes along the sides of his Abdomen which had formed a few hours ago.
"...This is kinda starting to get sad, how much of a Sukuna clone do you need to be Megumi?" Satoru mocked as his arms burned with Azure Blue cursed energy, despite his words it was obvious to all that he was never so excited for a battle in his entire life.
"Big words coming from the man who's copying my Father's clothes, what did getting stabbed through the Neck feel so good you needed to wear the same clothes to remember the feeling again?!" Megumi shot right back, his own Purplish Black cursed energy covering his limbs.
'With the Heavens Above as my Witness, I shall never use another Incarnation along with the Divine General's at the same time and in Exchange the Required Spins for Adaptations will be Halved.'
The Lord of Shadows felt the Chains of his Binding Vow take hold on his Cursed Technique, he then shot forwards in a burst of Rubble at his opponent with a demonic grin.
He was instantly met with the Honoured One's nigh invincible Infinity, undeterred he blocked a Blue infused punch going for his face a second later.
'This Infinity… I Will Break it over my Fucking Knee Today or I will Die Trying!'
Satoru Gojo moved again first, with a brutal haymaker to the jaw which was swiftly parried by his top left arm. Megumi swung both of his right arms ahead and although they too were stopped by Infinity, the Dharma Wheel atop his head spun.
CLINK
Slowly but surely the dual punch began inching its way through Gojo's Infinity, a fact that was not missed by the Honoured One who immediately gut punched his opponent. The force of the fist sent Megumi backwards as his feet dug groves into the ground.
"What's wrong Satoru~? That seemed almost desperate!" The black haired man questioned with a giant grin, he knew only one more Adaptation remained before he could smash through Infinity like it wasn't even there.
Normally, it would take 4 spins of the Dharma Wheel to complete the Adaptation to the Neutral Infinity – However thanks to his Binding Vow, it would only take 2 Spins to achieve the same result.
"Is that so? Well.. How's this for Desperate?!" Gojo shouted right back as he raised his hand and aimed it at a nearby building, he clenched it as a moment later it was covered with a Blue Aura and was ripped from its foundations as if it was a toy.
"CATCH!"
Megumi watched with a grin as the 6 Story Skyscraper was flung towards him, he raised a finger and pointed it at the oncoming building before his second mouth began chanting.
"Dragon Communion:..."
The head of the Absolute Merged Beast 'Darkeater Midir' emerged from his abyss and screeched before opening his maw as a Blinding orb of Plasma was already formed within it – Skipping the Charge Up time which was normally Required.
"Midir's Wrath."
An Aurora of Heavenly Light shot forwards and obliterated the skyscraper before continuing to immolate anything it touched for the next few seconds, Satoru Gojo crossed arms in a panic as he fired up his Infinity to block the blast.
A few moments later, the Blast of Plasma stopped to reveal the utter havoc wrought from Midir's presence. The Maximum Merged Beast proceeded to return to his Master's shadow, leaving behind about a Kilometre and a Half being reduced to Ash and Dust.
"Ahh~, What would I do without you Binding Vows?" Megumi sighed in satisfaction, min-maxing his Cursed Technique is Truly the path to the Top.
He had used a Binding Vow to lock the Maximum Merged Beast 'Darkeater Midir' into his Shadow and only allowed him to Partially Manifest out of Shadows when heralded by a Chant with specific Chants and Hand Signs for each different Manifestation.
In exchange his Shikigami's Output had been increased to incredible heights, leading to the absolute annihilation wrecked upon Shinjuku. All the while the Dragon was safe from being attacked by his opponents by hiding in his shadow.
Normally that would mean he has to take the burden of its weight, but by only partially manifesting the Merged Beast in unneeded Locations – Even that Drawback had been Trivialised.
"Alright Satoru, it's about time you stop playing dead! You're not fooling anybody!" He shouted at the cloud of dust, a moment later he saw a Crimson glow burn through the fog and shoot towards him.
Megumi grinned and met it head on with a smile, all too happy to take whatever damage necessary to Adapt to it and render it worthless later on.
He was caught off guard by a shift in space beside him, unable to react in time a kick crashed into the back of his head which sent him flying directly into the Reversal Red.
Blood spurted throughout the air as his chest was blown open, revealing his bones for an instant as he healed the damage with his Reverse Cursed Technique.
The Honoured One didn't give him even a second to breathe as he was on him again, the Lord of Shadows defended himself to the best of his abilities but was pushed to his limits as he also had to heal himself with RCT at the same time.
Satoru Gojo implanted his Blue Infused fist into his opponent's gut before side swiping him with a kick that sent him stumbling backwards, bursting forwards again he charged Red within his hand and shot it ahead.
"Cursed Technique Reversal: Red!"
The Crimson singularity Blasted everything in its vicinity as it shot ahead, the Shade Lord stared it down with a grin before beginning to chant while pulling a hand into a guarding motion.
"Dragon Communion: Darkeater's Guidance!"
A massive obsidian wing emerged from his shadow, immediately covering its Lord from the Reversal Red which smashed against it. A dent was blasted into Midir's wing but alas it held together and blocked the attack wonderfully.
The Wing then returned to the shadows a moment later, causing Gojo to baulk in horror and turn around to look behind him.
"YOU'RE NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN TELEPORT JACKASS!" Megumi shouted while emerging from a shadow, he had abandoned healing his marred body in favour of attacking while his opponent's guard was down as he pulled back 2 arms which sparked with Black Electricity.
The Honoured One threw a fevered punch which was barely avoided thanks to his terrible stance due to being caught off guard. The Lord of Shadow's fist crashed against Satoru Gojo's Infinity but instead of being stuck or crawling through, the Dharma Wheel atop his head Spun.
CLINK
And with that spin?
The Divine Lord's Fists Ripped Straight Through Satoru Gojo's Infinity.
""BLACK FLASH!!""
Satoru Gojo vomited Blood as Black Lightning sparked throughout the atmosphere, heralded by both of Megumi Fushiguro's Mouths shouting at the same time. Both fists dug deeper, one into his Liver and the other into his chest.
A moment later, the Honoured One was sent flying away into a nearby building which quaked and crumbled from the impact. The building fell apart into rubble which fell upon itself and buried the special grade sorcerer.
The Lord of Shadows stood on his two feet and stretched his limbs in pleasure, relishing the sensation of his Dual Black Flash as his entire body restored itself back to full quicker than ever before.
The Adaptation to the Limitless Technique's Neutral Infinity has been Completed.
The rubble blew apart to reveal Satoru Gojo still standing, his body mended together as he wiped a trail of blood from his mouth.
"Okay, I'll admit. That one hurt a bit." He called out with a small grin, despite his advantage being stolen from him and his opponent's Voltage rising – The Honoured One could not help feeling a sense of Satisfaction and Excitement.
His Six Eyes noted that his opponent had lost his Cursed Energy Trait and his Cursed Energy was Mimicking his own, it must have been how he had Adapted to get past his Infinity.
A Question then sparked through his Mind, one that both Shook his Soul and made him feel Unbelievable Joy.
"Is Satoru Gojo Going to Lose?!"
The viewing Platform was dead silent, the impossible just happened before their eyes. Yuta Okkotsu began speaking a moment later to reject that idea.
"No, despite that hit, all he achieved was levelling the Playing Field. Gojo-sensei would still win in a Domain Clash!" He affirmed, having absolute confidence in his teacher's victory.
"Hm.. We'll see about that~..." Shoko commented with a sly grin, drawing a confused look from most present except Tsumiki and Tengen.
"Well, there's way more of that where it came from!" Megumi replied as he watched his opponent grin while closing the distance between them.
"Let's up the Voltage, Shall We?!" The Honoured One shouted as he brought a hand up, the Lord of Shadows simply grinned in response as he brought his own together before they both began chanting.
"Domain Expansion: Infinite Void!"
"Domain Expansion: Chimera Shadow Garden!"
A colossal, tree-like Spinal Column shot up from Megumi's shadow, followed by a rush of inky nothingness flooding the marred battlefield. While on the other hand, Limitless Space and Stars flooded from Gojo's Six Eyes and clashed against the Nothingness before a Barrier formed between the two of them.
And then against all odds, although Satoru Gojo retained an obvious Advantage in Refinement – Megumi Fushiguro was holding his own within their Domain Clash.
"...I see. So that's why you delayed the fight and sent me away. You Sly Bastard!" Gojo called out with a laugh as he realised a few moments later why Megumi had pushed for him to leave.
"H-How is he even keeping up with Gojo-sensei in refinement?!" Yuta questioned, it all didn't make sense.
"Wow, Megumi is really cheeky isn't he?" Tsumiki commented with a chuckle, drawing everyone's attention to her.
"You know something?" Yuji questioned, not paying attention to Sukuna's eye which was still glued to the screen and observing the Domain Clash with a quiet grin.
"He sent Satoru away for 4 days and was spending all that time with Tengen-san over here, she was teaching him all about Barrier Technique non-stop! Neither of them slept for 4 days straight!" Tsumiki explained with an amused grin.
Everyone baulked in horror, nearly a 100 Hours of Personal Training in Barrier Techniques from the Greatest Barrier User in History would make anyone a Powerhouse in Domain Clashes.
"Gojo-sensei probably still has advantage in Refinement, He Will Win!" Nobara affirmed, not wanting to lose the money she bet against her classmate.
"You're all either Fools or just Retarded with the Memories of Goldfish."
They all turned to face the source of the voice and found it to be coming from Sukuna who simply could not help but speak up.
"Megumi Fushiguro isn't like the Rest of You. He possesses an Open Barriered Domain Expansion."
The realisation of that fact shot through through the minds of all present, they all turned to the screen and saw Dozens of Copies of the Divine General rise from outside the range of Satoru Gojo's Domain and proceed to smash against the Domain Barrier trapping their master.
"This is Bad! Domain Barriers are Super Fragile from Outside!"
SHATTER!
The Shards of Satoru Gojo's Infinite Void crumbled to the ground, revealing the White Haired Sorcerer who turned to look at the Veritable Hoard of Divine Generals forming around him from all sides, each and every one of them already Adapted to bypass his Infinity all the while he was in Cursed Technique Burnout.
The Honoured One Gulped in Nervousness.
The Lord of Shadows Offered some Advice.
"Y'know Satoru, I Were You… I'd Start Running."
A moment later, Satoru Gojo was set upon by nearly a Hundred clones of Mahoraga each one stumbling over the other in a mad dash to get to him.
The white haired sorcerer backed off desperately, avoiding fist and blade at every inch he gained. He activated Falling Blossom Emotion to help mitigate the Damage as was forced to block and dodge dozens of opponent's at the same time.
"AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
The Lord of Shadows cackled maniacally at watching his opponent surrounded and nearly torn apart, he began clapping in amusement with his bottom pair of hands.
His top left arm held his chest as he nearly doubled over in laughter as his top right arm pointed at the retreating sorcerer as both his mouths began Speaking at the same time.
"Dragon Communion:-!"
"DANCE FOR ME YOU BLUE EYED BASTARD!! FUCKING DANCE!!"
"Midir's Wrath!"
A Blast of Plasma shot from Midir's maw and Immolated everything it touched to ashes in an instant. Nothing was spared, not even the legion of Divine Generals were an exception as they too were Annihilated faster than they could Hope to Adapt.
The left side of Satoru Gojo's was scorched black by the Plasma as he was covered by 2nd Degree burns despite not being hit directly by the Aurora of Heavenly Light. And yet he proved his stature as The Strongest of the Modern Era as was chanting even in the middle of barely avoiding Midir's Blast.
"-Paramitta. Pillars of Light!"
The Honoured One disappeared from his place just as the Aurora of Heavenly Light blasted where he stood a moment later and reduced a City Block to Ash.
Megumi Fushiguro's eyes widened as he felt Satoru Gojo's presence appear behind him, he turned to face it and found the Blue Eyed Demon staring back at him with a manic grin spread on his face despite half of it being reduced to muscle and bone as he pointed a Crimson Singularity directly at his head.
"Clever Dick-!"
"Maximum Reversal Red!"
He was sent flying away in a bright flash of crimson light, feeling the right side of his face be nearly blown completely off from the impact. The Anchor of his Domain was reduced to rubble as he crashed straight through it which dispelled his own Domain.
Satoru Gojo didn't waste even a nanosecond on healing himself as he abandoned the mere idea and blurred ahead to where Megumi was. He appeared behind the still flying sorcerer as he spun his body and kicked ahead, his limb sparking with Black lightning.
"BLACK FLASH!"
An explosion of Black and Red sparks reverberated throughout the atmosphere as the Shade Lord's back bent under the force of the impact. He coughed Blood a moment later as he was sent flying away in the opposite direction and into a skyscraper which immediately crumbled to rubble atop him.
The Honoured One breathed in and out labouredly as his body was finally given a chance to restore itself with his Reverse Cursed Technique, his immolated face being returned to its breathtaking form as he laughed quietly to himself.
'I haven't been that close to Death in so long… Only other time was with Toji- Shit now that I think about it, what the hell is wrong with this Family?! Did they make a bloodpact with the Devil to be this Strong?!' He thought incredulously as the remains of the skyscraper were blown apart.
CLINK
Only One More Adaptation to Satoru Gojo's Cursed Technique Reversal 'Red' Remained.
Megumi Fushiguro stumbled out of what used to be the remains of a skyscraper while wiping blood from his nose, it continued flowing despite that – Regenerating and Maintaining his Cursed Technique despite his Domain Shattering had taken quite the toll on his Brain.
'A got one Adaptation to Red from that one, only one more and I'll be immune. Blue shouldn't be too far away from an Adaptation either…' He thought while walking closer to his opponent, his eyes were hazy and heavy lidded thanks to the Brain Damage he retained.
Both were quiet for a moment as the only thing that could be heard was their laboured breathing and pumping hearts. And then, their legs twitched.
The ground beneath them shattered and blew away into dust as they crossed the distance between them in less than a second.
They clashed in the middle, fist to fist as shockwaves caused the earth to shatter and crumble from their overwhelming power.
The Honoured One slipped his opponent's limb and gut punched him in the abdomen with a Blue Infused fist which made him cough up bile, and yet just as he was about to go for another hit – The Dharma Wheel atop the Divine Lord's head Spun.
CLINK
Only One More Adaptation to Satoru Gojo's Cursed Technique Lapse 'Blue' Remained.
The Lord of Shadows growled as his right arms shot forwards and grabbed onto his opponent's hair and neck respectively before crushing him down into the ground.
CRASH!
Continuing through the ground, he sprinted ahead and dragged him face first through the steel reinforced concrete which dug a deep groove into the ground along his path.
"RAAAAGHH!"
He then screamed while lifting him back and turning his entire body at the same time before proceeding to throw Satoru Gojo away and into the rest of the city, leaving an earth shattering shockwave in his wake.
The ground beneath him was reduced to liquid earth as he exploded from his place to follow his prey, he was immediately met with 2 Buildings being ripped from their foundations and thrown at him.
This time he didn't even bother dodging or breaking them and simply sped up, the buildings crashed behind him and sent rubble flying throughout the atmosphere as cracks ran down the earth beneath him which fragmented apart as if an earthquake was formed from their battle.
CRUMBLE!
"GIVE ME EVERYTHING, MEGUMI!!"
"I'LL BE DEAD AND BURIED BEFORE I GIVE ANY LESS, SATORU!!
The Lord of Shadows shot up from the ground like a rocket towards the voice, finding The Honoured One flying towards him as Mad Laughter started reverberating throughout the air. They both pulled back their arms which had Black Sparks running down their frame before they met in the Middle of the air.
""BLACK FLASH!!""
Blackish Crimson Lightning sparked throughout the atmosphere, the impact of their clash sent out shockwaves which fell several buildings around them as shards of glass rained down from the Heavens. It was almost as if the World itself was ending.
CRASH! SHATTER!
With an animalistic growl Megumi's other limbs shot forwards and grabbed onto Satoru's body, refusing to let go even as his opponent's fist began crushing his abdominal organs.
He spun in the air, taking his opponent along with him before using the momentum to spike him onto the ground where crashed against the earth and caused a crater.
The Lord of Shadows' legs pressed against the air before Cursed Energy sparked at his feet before exploding and sending him flying downwards towards his still recovering opponent.
The Honoured One's limbs were all crushed into the ground, both his limbs were gripped with The Divine Lord's bottom pair of arms. His top left arm shot forwards like a viper and latched around Satoru's neck before indenting it too into the ground before his final arm pointed a finger at his opponent's forehead.
His Second Mouth then Began Chanting at The Top of His 4 Lungs while the Darkeater's Maw made its appearance on the battlefield once more.
"DRAGON COMMUNION:-!"
"Let's See What Breaks First! Your Infinity or My Adaptation!"
"-MAXIMUM OUTPUT-!"
"AHAHAHAHA! FINE THEN, GIVE ME YOUR BEST SHOT MEGUMI!!"
And it Was Then that for the First Time in all of Jujutsu History, the Ever Brilliant Light of the Gojo Clan's Six Eyes –
"MIDIR'S WRATH!"
– Was Blinded.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
A Heavenly Pillar of Light approximately 3 Kilometres wide and reaching up into the Heavens was formed within the Replicated Shinjuku City, inside the Pillar everything was Instantly Immolated, Incinerated and then Annihilated in a Flash of Blinding Plasma.
The Divine Lord's body was surprisingly still in one piece, although it was entirely burned into a Blackened and Charred crisp. For the Moment atleast, as the Dharma Wheel atop his head spun once again.
CLINK
Adaptation to Ultra-Extreme Temperatures has been Completed.
Megumi Fushiguro's body began almost reversing in time as it regained its colour, his flesh being returned to its state just before the Blast. He had lost his bottom left arm which held onto his opponent's right arm, he began regenerating while looking down at the smoke covered crater beneath him.
He couldn't hope to move in time as a Fist Sparking with Black Lightning shot ahead from the smoke and crashed against his chest. His ribs caved in from the impact as the Black Flash Crushed his Left Heart in an instant.
The Divine Lord was sent tumbling away like a ragdoll as he gripped the ground and stopped himself, he stayed on his hands and knees before Vomiting up Blood and bits of internal Tissue.
He stopped healing his arm and prioritised restoring his Vital Organs, he even saved his Second Heart for later as he knew he could rely on his other one for the moment.
"AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!"
The Insane giggling drew his attention back to where The Honoured One no doubt was, finding the Ash and Dust to just be clearing up to Reveal a Horrifying Sight.
Satoru Gojo didn't look any better than he did, Midir's Blast of Plasma had made its Mark without a Doubt. He was also on his hands and knees, although he had lost his left arm and was leaning on his right.
The Top left Half of his Body along with the left side of his face had been completely Incinerated, he had lost an arm along with a good portion of his body which revealed his Crimson Heart still Beating Fiercely with Supernatural Power.
Even an Inch- No. A Centimetre to the Left and Satoru Gojo would have been Killed.
"I ALMOST DIED, YOU BASTARD!!"
Despite being nearly Incinerated alive The Honoured One Cackled Madly, the Galactic Blue Six Eyes of Satoru Gojo burned through the charred gap of his eye socket before his Body began restoring itself fully at Record Speeds.
It Seems that Through the Baptism of his Second Ever Near Death Experience and a Black Flash, The Honoured One's Reverse Cursed Technique's Efficiency and Potency began Skyrocketing Permanently.
CLINK
The Divine Lord's body also began restoring itself beyond what was normally possible, his Vital Organs were regenerated to a manageable degree as his Heart was then restored. His bottom left arm was left destroyed as it was deemed unimportant and not worth the energy.
"H-How? How is this even happening?! It doesn't make any sense!" Yuta muttered in horror, he couldn't even believe his eyes.
"They're gonna kill each other at this Rate!" Yuji exclaimed, the battle had gone way past what a spar would allow.
"We have to Stop them." Maki commented as she went to stand up but was cut off by a Malevolent Soul staring into her very Being.
"You Will Do No Such Thing."
They turned to face Ryomen Sukuna who was the one who denied her so vehemently.
"This Battle means way more than whatever the Fuck you Pissants think it does, both of them will see this Battle until the very End – Even If It Kills Them."
"But.. Why?"
"Worthless Weaklings such as you could never understand it, the Weight of Absolute Strength. How could you understand something you can't even Comprehend? Just Sit Where you are and Be Quiet." He ordered, and yet despite him being powerless at the moment – No One Dared Defy Him.
"But Honestly… How Absolutely Magnificent! He used a Binding Vow to swap the Target of his Neutral Infinity to Everything, Including Air! That allowed him to redirect and block the Dragon's Breath to save his life at the very last possible Second!"
Despite his Rage, The King of Curses couldn't help but laugh in joyful revelry a moment later, he began explaining how Satoru Gojo had survived the Blast of Plasma with obvious jealousy in his voice.
They watched with awed silence as both combatants labouredly picked themselves up from the ground, blood dripping from their bodies in droves. And yet despite their obvious Agony, They Looked to be having the Best Day of Their Lives.
"Satoru Gojo will now have to keep up with Megumi Fushiguro while at the same time Managing his Upgraded Infinity to Allow Himself to Breath, he must be supplementing his Body with Positive Energy to Maintain function despite the Low Oxygen Concentration in his Blood – Not even I would Dare do that because of the Precision required for such a Feat!"
Ryomen Sukuna sighed in disappointment and rage, never had he felt this sensation of being denied such a Marvellous Battle – It Would Be a Worthy Demise to Die at the Hand of These Two Sorcerers.
The Honoured One's left arm was completely Restored, but not without sacrifice as Horrific Burn Scars now Permanently Marred his once Perfect skin.
Despite the Black Flash and Immense Damage Suffered on Both sides, Both Special Grade Sorcerers are now at their Wits End.
The Resurgence of Satoru Gojo's Unlimited Hollow Purple will soon make its mark upon the Holy Battleground of the Tomb of The Star and signal the end of this Titanic Battle.
The remains of the Replicated city of Shinjuku then began to crumble down, heralding the beginning of the End of the Battle as the Final Bout between The Honoured One and The Lord of Shadows shall Now –
CRASH!
– Commence!
""RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGHHHHHH!!""
All sense of decorum and technique was lost as Satoru Gojo and Megumi Fushiguro shouted and sprinted at eachother like rabid animals.
The Lord of Shadows threw a punch that halted at the Advanced Infinity long enough for The Honoured One to parry the fist before landing his own Devastating Haymaker which prompted his opponent to drop to the ground and sweep his feet.
They both fell sideways towards the ground while looking into the other's eyes with manic grins before smashing a fist towards the ground which sent them flying upwards simultaneously. They proceeded to both kick at the other at the same time, sending them both flying away in opposite directions.
CLINK
Adaptation to the Advanced Infinity has Been Completed.
Righting themselves mid air, they stared at each other before Satoru Gojo began Chanting.
"Phase! Twilight! Eyes of Wisdom!"
"Cursed Technique Lapse: Blue!"
An Azure Singularity was formed.
The Lord of Shadows gripped the air itself with Cursed Energy, it sparked before exploding outwards and sending him flying towards his Fated Opponent.
"Phase! Paramitta! Pillars of Light!"
"Cursed Technique Reversal: Red!"
A Crimson Singularity was formed.
The Divine Lord swung with his Blade of Extermination, and yet despite not being close to his Opponent – The World Itself Was Cut Apart.
The Apex Technique 'World Cutting Slash' had been Acquired.
Satoru Gojo's Left hand flew into the Air as he gritted his Teeth and continued Chanting despite the Blinding Agony flowing through his Soul and his Plummeting Cursed Energy Output.
"Nine Ropes! Polarised Light! Crow and Declaration! Between Front and Back!"
Both Singularities merged within The Honoured One's Right Hand.
"IMAGINARY TECHNIQUE: MAXIMUM OUTPUT HOLLOW PURPLE!"
A Blast of Imaginary Mass was fired towards The Lord of Shadows, and Yet.. He Did Not Falter.
No one in the History of Jujutsu could face a Hollow Purple from a user of the Six Eyes and Limitless without Flinching, except for Megumi Fushiguro of course.
'You Think This Hollow Purple Scares Me?! NAH, I'D FUCKING ADAPT!'
BOOOOOOOM!
Satoru Gojo looked around himself like a Madman, he simply could not believe that his opponent could have died from that blast.
"You've pulled this shit once before, I won't fall for it again!" He proclaimed as he formed yet another Hollow Purple within his right hand, this one was thousands of times weaker than usual due to his Plummeting Cursed Energy Output.
To assume that his opponent had hid in his Shadow and was looking for an opening to strike is a Logical train of thought. It Made Sense.
CLINK
But Logic Can Never Apply to Megumi Fushiguro.
Satoru Gojo froze in Horror at the sound of the Divine General's Wheel which was certain to Haunt his Dreams and Nightmares from this day onwards.
The Ash and Dust blew apart to reveal The Lord of Shadows blurring ahead at his opponent, his body was being mended from his Near Death – Fatal Injuries covered his entire body, he had even lost an Arm.
The Fate of The Battle of The Strongest Will be Decided by this Last Moment.
The One Who Lands the Next Hit Is The Victor!
"HOLLOW PURPLE!"
The Honoured One Was Fast, Blindingly So.
But The Lord of Shadows Was Faster.
Megumi Fushiguro's Left hand wrapped around Satoru Gojo's remaining Right Hand, pulling it up towards the sky. The Hollow Purple Detonated an instant later and obliterated his hand, but he Simply Did Not Care.
The Divine Lord pulled back his last remaining arm, Black Lightning already sparking through it and into the Atmosphere as it then Blurred ahead directly at The Honoured One's Defenceless Face.
And when Satoru Gojo stared his oncoming Loss in the eyes, he did not react with Fear or Nervousness…
But with a Grin filled with Pride and Ecstasy – He Has Never Felt This Satisfied In His Entire Life.
The Promise made between the two of them so many Years ago began echoing in his Mind.
"...The Strongest. I Will Become The Strongest Sorcerer and Surpass you."
'Congrats Megumi… You Kept Your Promise.'
"BLACK FLAAAAAASH!!!"
A veritable Hurricane of Blackish Crimson Sparks flooded the Entire World and blotted out the Sun as Megumi Fushiguro drove Satoru Gojo's face into the ground beneath them which shattered and blew apart.
A Crater 200 Metres wide was instantly formed, the shockwaves reverberating from the Impact Shook all of Master Tengen's Empty Barriers as they simply could not hold together and Shattered.
SHATTER! CRASH!
The Shards of the Tengen's Barriers fell around the Lord of Shadows who stood in place while he heaved in breath like a man suffocated.
He looked down in disbelief, laying unconscious at his feet was Satoru Gojo.
"I- I… I Won?"
The Honoured One didn't move an inch, he had a Gentle Smile on his Face as if he was in a Deep Sleep.
"I- I WON?!"
The world around him peeled away to return him to the Base Form of The Tomb of The Star which was falling apart from the aftermath of their Titanic Battle.
"Eheheheheheh-ahahahahahahAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!"
Megumi Fushiguro began laughing like he never had before in his entire existence, despite still being a foot away from Death – He Has Never Felt This Much Joy Following through his Soul.
"Hehehe… Don't Worry, Satoru~! You can Keep your little 'Honoured One' Title, it's just not Good Enough For Me!"
He held his chest with his only remaining arm and continued laughing like a Madman, his joyful revelry was then cut off a few seconds later when he Vomited Blood.
The Divine Lord fell onto one Knee, despite winning – He had undergone Fatal Damage that should have killed him several times over.
At the end of their Battle, he has suffered countless Injuries which include but are not limited to:
His Right Eye had been Obliterated.
His Left Heart has Been Crushed.
Three of his Lungs had Collapsed.
Three of his Arms were Annihilated.
He was suffering from several Vital Organ System Failures.
He Burned Through 25.9 Sukuna Fingers Worth of Cursed Energy and is Only at 0.1 Fingers Worth of Cursed Energy Remaining in his Reserves.
By All Laws of Logic, Megumi Fushiguro Should Not Be Alive.
And Yet He Is.
The Divine Lord's 'Mahoraga' Incarnation fizzled away a moment later as he began to fall over, his body simply did not have the strength to keep itself upright anymore.
He was caught by a soft pair of hands which kept him from falling to the ground, turning his only remaining eye to face who caught him.
"Congrats Megumi."
It was his Sister Tsumiki Fushiguro who held a gentle yet prideful smile on her face, a second pair of hands held him from the other side as Sublime Positive Energy flooded his body and began restoring it from certain Death.
"No really, that was Fuckin' Something Else!"
This time it was Shoko Ieiri who looked at him with the biggest grin he had ever seen on her face, she reached a hand towards her face and wiped away a tear that was building in her eye.
He then saw the rest of his Comrades approaching him; Maki Zen'in, Yuji Itadori, Nobara Kugisaki, Aoi Todo and everyone else.
The entirety of the Jujutsu Society was dead silent, from the reaches of every corner of Japan and even the World - Silence was the Only thing Possible.
The Battle Between the Strongest Sorcerers of the Modern Era has been Concluded.
The Lord of Shadows-
No.
Tsumiki raised her brother's fist towards the sky, his bloodsoaked body standing Tall and Proud as a Symbol of Victory.
And then they all spoke at the same time, a Declaration that would Echo throughout the Annals of History for Millennia to Come.
"MEGUMI FUSHIGURO IS THE STRONGEST!"
