"Reverse Cursed Technique!"
As the words left Kenjaku's mouth, the broken arm and various injuries across his body instantly healed.
Boom!
A powerful impact sent Mahito flying off him.
Kenjaku stood up, and pinched the end of the suture on his forehead with his index finger and thumb.
Then he suddenly pulled—leaving everyone watching in confusion.
Sizzle!
The top of his head split open, exposing his pale brain for all to see.
For thousands of years, some called him Kamo Noritoshi while others called him Kenjaku.
But no one realized that his greatest strength wasn't taking over bodies or stealing cursed technique s.
It was his brain itself!
He glanced around, smiling gently.
"Actually, I have a big ultimate move."
Hearing this, the expressions of the four disaster curses changed instantly.
They cautiously retreated dozens of meters.
There was no way around it—Kenjaku's sudden action was too terrifying.
Why would he open his head in the middle of a fight and casually announce an ultimate move?
In the distance, Yuki widened her eyes, a bad premonition creeping up her spine.
A black hole quietly formed behind her, continuously drawing in imaginary mass.
It was meant to be her final trump card, but now it seemed unnecessary against Kenjaku.
Still, it was always good to be prepared.
Under the stunned gazes of the crowd, Kenjaku's gentle, fake smile suddenly twisted.
It morphed into something vicious and deranged.
Tengen frowned.
A secret move?
Could he have already escaped the CT Burnout period?
Otherwise, no matter how powerful his attack, it would still rely on his cursed techniques.
Kenjaku was becoming harder to read, and it was possible he had broken free from the CT Burnout in record time.
"Puff!"
Kenjaku's five fingers curled into claws and suddenly reached into his brain.
Then, with a sickening motion, he peeled off a small piece.
Under everyone's shocked stares, he used Reverse Cursed Technique to instantly restore it.
Jogo was stunned.
Reverse Cursed Technique?!
Wasn't he in the CT Burnout period like him?!
"Hehe..."
Sewing up his head, Kenjaku smirked darkly.
"I'm sure everyone here knows that the reason CT Burnout happens is because the fragile brain can't handle a powerful load."
"And so, a self-protection mechanism kicks in."
"A sorcerer capable of reaching the special-grade level has willpower far beyond their physical limits."
"But what if I simply remove my brain, force the cursed technique to restore itself, and immediately heal it with Reverse Cursed Technique?"
At that moment, a massive vortex suddenly appeared behind him.
Everyone recognized it instantly.
It was none other than Geto Suguru's cursed technique—Maximum: Uzumaki!
"Yuki, compared to your reckless, brain-damaging struggle to break free from the CT Burnout…"
"My method is far superior, don't you think?"
"In terms of talent, I surpass everyone from your Jujutsu High—except Gojo!"
"More than that! Yuki, you're still just a child compared to me!"
Kenjaku's manic laughter echoed through Tombs of Star Corridor.
Everyone held their breath.
This lunatic!
He had devised such a terrifying method just by observing how Yuki had forcibly broken free from the CT Burnout.
This technique was possible only for someone insane enough to rip open their own skull.
The vortex behind him was no illusion.
It was clear—Kenjaku had really escaped CT Burnout.
Tengen was shaken to the core.
Hundreds of years ago, he had sensed that this man—Kenjaku—was extraordinarily gifted.
But he had never imagined this.
Yuki frowned. Something felt off, but she couldn't pinpoint what exactly.
Ignoring his taunts, she waved dismissively, unimpressed.
She said, "Okay, okay, you're amazing. Happy now?"
"You've lived a thousand years, yet a junior like me almost managed to kill you?"
"And you're still laughing?"
"If I could use Domain Expansion, you'd have joined Geto long ago."
Kenjaku thought he was impressive, but Kazuma had still tricked him.
Maybe Kenjaku hadn't even realized that this had all happened because of Kazuma's words?
As she spoke, the black hole behind her kept growing in power.
Kenjaku ignored Yuki and instead turned toward Mahito with a grin.
He said, "Come to think of it, I should thank you for your Idle Transfiguration."
Mahito blinked, confused.
Hmm? What does he mean?
Is there something he hasn't fully unlocked in his own cursed technique?
The next second, the vortex behind Kenjaku expanded at an alarming rate.
In the blink of an eye, half of the Tombs of Star Corridor was swallowed.
A crushing, terrifying aura erupted from the vortex.
"RETREAT!"
Jogo's sudden roar rang out.
The four disaster curses s immediately withdrew at full speed.
They didn't know what technique Kenjaku was about to unleash, but its sheer presence was unprecedented.
Kenjaku spread his arms and slowly rose into the sky—his robe billowing without wind.
"Tengen, your Tombs of Star Corridor is already rotting. Why don't I help renovate it?"
As soon as he spoke, he violently swung his arms.
A colossal vortex engulfed the sky.
Jogo and the others watched as the enormous vortex descended, their expressions grim.
Without hesitation, Tengen used the last of his empty barrier's energy to create a protective shield around them.
As the vortex loomed closer, everyone braced themselves for impact.
Would Tengen's barrier hold against such an overwhelming attack?
However—
The moment the vortex touched the barrier…
Nothing happened.
Everything remained calm.
Peaceful.
Not even a hint of cursed energy fluctuation could be seen.
Jogo scratched his head, puzzled.
"Wait… is Tengen's barrier this strong?"
Did it just neutralize Kenjaku's ultimate move?
Kenjaku said, "Everyone, I look forward to our next meeting."
Everyone instinctively snapped their heads up.
Somehow, Kenjaku had grown a pair of flesh wings.
Mahito gasped, pointing at him with a trembling finger.
"He… He… He lied to me!"
Wasn't this just a basic application of Idle Transfiguration?!
"What a trick."
A smirk tugged at Yuki's lips.
Behind her, a massive black hole began to rise.
The fleeing Kenjaku suddenly froze—turning back in horror.
There, in the sky, an inky black miniature sun was slowly forming.
The sight alone sent a wave of sheer deathly fear through his body.
Is that… an actual black hole?!
She actually possessed such a terrifying technique?!
Yuki's voice drifted through the air.
"Let me show you what it really means to destroy the world."
