Saint Seiya: The Multiverse Libra Gold Saint

Chapter 42: SS 42: The World’s Source Rules



Gojo looked at himself in the mirror.

His face was pale, lifeless.

The overwhelming helplessness of his defeat flooded back.

"Yeah, I lost."

"Lost badly, embarrassingly."

"I never imagined such an existence could exist in this world."

"As for who he is?"

"Honestly, I can't fully believe what he said."

"Because he claims to be the world's will."

A glint flashed in Gojo's eyes.

"You seem fine now."

"The injuries he inflicted couldn't even be healed by Reverse Cursed Technique."

"But he said you'd wake up on your own."

"Such terrifying power."

"Your muscles were completely torn, yet your bones and organs were unharmed."

"He stripped you of all your strength in an instant."

"Such control over power."

"Satoru, tell me honestly, who is he?"

Shoko Ieiri flicked her cigarette butt to the ground.

Her expression was grave.

He had never seen such bizarre injuries.

Some unknown force was preventing Reverse Cursed Technique from healing the body.

Such strength was staggering.

"A guy who calls himself a god."

"He said the world's evolution has veered off his intended course."

"It's on the brink of destruction."

"He's here to correct it."

Gojo shared what he knew.

"A god?"

"You're not joking?"

Shoko's expression shifted.

She instinctively wanted to retort.

But seeing Gojo's injuries and his calm demeanor, she swallowed her words.

Such a powerhouse.

Even if he wasn't a god, what was the difference?

In the eyes of ordinary people, Gojo himself was no different from a god.

With power capable of destroying a nation single-handedly.

If someone called him a god, few would object.

"I can't think of a reason he'd lie to me."

Gojo stood up.

The moment he woke, he found Reverse Cursed Technique working again.

It was just that his mental energy was heavily drained.

So he rested for a moment.

"Let's go meet him."

"Alright."

Megumi led Gojo toward the lounge where Kaiser waited.

"Creak…"

The door opened.

Gojo saw Kaiser.

Before him floated a strange, crisscrossing tree-like diagram.

Something pulsed on it, looking eerie.

For some reason, Gojo thought of cancer cells.

It certainly resembled them.

"What's that?"

Gojo sat across from Kaiser, cutting straight to the point.

"This is the world's source."

"This world's source is sick, being eroded."

"The existence of cursed spirits and sorcerers is like cancer cells."

"Cancer cells might grant immortality, but more likely, they lead to death."

"That's why I said the world's evolution has gone astray."

Kaiser waved his hand lightly.

The eerie tree diagram dissipated.

"Do you want to see your future?"

Kaiser suddenly felt a mischievous urge.

While Gojo was unconscious, Kaiser had used the Servant system to exchange permissions with this world's source.

Now, he could rightfully claim to be a god.

The will of the world.

"My future?"

"You can see through time?"

Gojo's tone carried doubt.

Even if Kaiser claimed to be the world's will, Gojo remained skeptical.

"Snap."

With a snap of his fingers, images appeared before Gojo's eyes.

"This is the past…"

Kaiser waved casually.

The scenes showed the past.

The strongest duo at Jujutsu High.

Riko Amanai's death.

Gojo mastering Reverse Cursed Technique.

Geto Suguru's betrayal and death.

"Wait, who's this guy?"

Gojo stared at the figure with stitches on his forehead, a revived Geto.

His anger was palpable.

"That guy?"

"He's called Kenjaku, a sorcerer from the same era as Tengen."

"Lived for a millennium."

"His plan is to revive the golden age of sorcery."

"He's been scheming for a long time, all to resurrect Sukuna."

"His technique allows him to seize others' bodies."

"And their techniques as well."

"You should understand what Geto Suguru's technique means."

Kaiser responded calmly.

"Damn it!"

Gojo Satoru was furious.

He understood perfectly.

If Kenjaku's plan succeeded, without a doubt, he would become the god of this new world.

"This is your final outcome."

Kaiser brought up the last scene.

The battle between Gojo Satoru and Sukuna.

In the end, Gojo was sliced in half by a spatial slash.

Completely taken offline.

Then his student, Yuta Okkotsu, mimicked Kenjaku's technique, using his body to fight Sukuna.

"Is this really how it ends?"

"Not something I wanted to see."

"No wonder you want to purify the world."

At this point, Gojo hadn't yet met Yuji Itadori.

Kaiser deliberately omitted scenes of Yuji's battles with Sukuna.

From Gojo's perspective, after his defeat and Yuta's loss, no one in the modern sorcery world could stand against Sukuna.

The world's ultimate fate was a return to darkness.

Such a world could hardly be called a success.

"No wonder you want to purify the world."

Gojo gave a bitter smile.

"My time in this world is limited."

"Counting the time you were asleep, less than five days remain."

"You'd better give me an answer within five days."

"Are you willing to sacrifice yourself for the world?"

Kaiser's earlier words echoed in Gojo's ears.

"Sacrifice myself for the world?"

Gojo fell into deep thought.

No matter how he looked at it, it was a worthwhile trade.

"Sorcerers and cursed spirits will all disappear, right?"

Gojo confirmed again.

"All supernatural elements will vanish."

"The world will return to peace."

Kaiser replied.
