JJK Jogoat 70 (Patreon)

Having successfully dealt with Satoru, Kenjaku smiled as he tucked the Prison Realm into his sleeve, then turned his gaze toward Jogo and the others, his eyes revealing undisguised murderous intent.

In the original work, the reason Kenjaku did not act against the Disaster Curses was mainly because Satoru had wasted 299 seconds killing Transfigured Humans, and activating the Prison Realm also took time.

Furthermore, in the original work, Satoru, in order to ensure the safety of the civilians around him, only used a 0.2-second Domain Expansion, which did not restrict the Special Grade Cursed Spirits much, only controlling them for a few minutes.

But now, Satoru had been sealed away early, without the 299 seconds of wasted time. Even more, because of the Transfigured Humans summoned by Mahito, the civilians were practically all dead, so Satoru had used the full version of Unlimited Void.

The full version of Unlimited Void was strong enough to completely immobilize Special Grade Cursed Spirits for over 15 minutes. And this full 15 minutes was enough time for Kenjaku to kill Jogo, Hanami, Choso, and the others, and even take the opportunity to absorb Mahito using Cursed Spirit Manipulation.

If luck was on his side, perhaps he wouldn't even need to kill Hanami and Jogo, but could directly absorb these two Special Grade Cursed Spirits using Cursed Spirit Manipulation, causing his combat power to skyrocket.

Scanning the area, Kenjaku strolled up to the motionless Jogo and patted his cheek, his narrow eyes filled with disdain.

"Look at you. Haven't you always been quite arrogant? Why are you motionless now? Don't tell me you just don't want to move."

Kenjaku decided to target Jogo first, rather than Mahito, whom he wanted the most, because Jogo's strength was too great—so great that it had already exceeded his original plan.

Killing three Grade 1 Jujutsu Sorcerers in an instant, retreating unscathed after a battle with Satoru, even making Satoru kneel and weep, beating Sukuna, and killing a large number of Jujutsu Sorcerers during the Jujutsu High invasion, cutting off most of Jujutsu High's future power.

These various achievements caused Kenjaku's perception of Jogo to be shattered time and time again. He gradually realized that the strength of this fire-manipulating Special Grade Cursed Spirit had become increasingly terrifying and he had to be dealt with as soon as possible.

Although he desperately wanted to kill Jogo, the fellow who had transcended his plans, Kenjaku had never been able to find a good opportunity. If he failed once he made a move, he would be attacked by the Disaster Curses en masse.

Originally, he had quite a bit of confidence in defeating the Disaster Curses on his own, even feeling that he wouldn't need to waste much effort.

After all, the energy generated by Cursed Spirit Manipulation and Reverse Cursed Technique could be said to be the natural counter to Cursed Spirits, but now he had lost that confidence.

He had just been waiting like this, waiting for an opportunity to kill Jogo, and now, that time had come.

A miniature gray vortex appeared in Kenjaku's palm, continuously approaching Jogo's massive golden pupil.

But in the very next moment, his right hand suddenly smashed into the ground, leaving a large crater, and streaks of pale blue light erupted from his wide sleeves.

Kenjaku, who was just about to make a move, suddenly interrupted his actions, looking in disbelief at the Prison Realm, which now appeared to have eyes that had turned blue, and exclaimed, "I can only say, as expected of the strongest in the current Jujutsu World. Even after being sealed inside the Prison Realm, he can still produce such an effect and influence the outside world."

He bent down, wanting to use his Cursed Energy to strengthen his body and lift the Prison Realm, but no matter what, he couldn't budge it, as if the Prison Realm had been growing out of the ground from the very beginning.

He did not notice that behind him, Jogo, who had been motionless like a sculpture, had his massive golden pupil begin to rotate.

Just as Kenjaku was trying his best to shake the Prison Realm, a burst of scorching flames suddenly erupted beside him, condensing into a pillar of fire that slammed into his body.

Kenjaku's pupils dilated, and he was sent flying in disbelief, spitting out mouthfuls of blood, his skin and flesh all over his body fusing together from severe burns.

Impossible! Where did the flames come from? This familiar Cursed Energy fluctuation... Could it be...

To verify his thoughts, Kenjaku quickly raised his head, only to see a blue fist constantly enlarging in his field of vision.

Boom, boom, boom!

Jogo's fists rained down like a storm, all landing on Kenjaku's body and erupting with bursts of roaring sounds.

Kenjaku was beaten into a state of having no power to fight back by this attack, his skin and flesh rapidly caving in, and his bones emitting sharp, clanging sounds, clearly on the verge of being shattered.

Finally, seizing a gap in the attacks, Kenjaku let out a roar, and hundreds of Cursed Spirits appeared around him. These Cursed Spirits self-destructed simultaneously, and the power that erupted forced the frantically attacking Jogo back.

Taking advantage of Jogo being forced back, Kenjaku retreated rapidly, putting distance between himself and Jogo. He took the opportunity to look at his injuries, unable to help but gasp.

Both his arms were twisted and his body was covered in pits of flesh and blood. In the places where he had been beaten, bones were even piercing through his skin, and his entire body suffered from severe burns.

He exerted all his effort to activate Reverse Cursed Technique to heal his injuries, his eyes flashing with unprecedented brilliance, even more excited than when he first saw Mahito.

"Jogo, how did you manage to avoid Satoru's Unlimited Void? Why were you able to break free from the control so easily? Tell me quickly."

Watching Kenjaku's excited appearance, a smile appeared on Jogo's face.

"Are you stupid? Why would I tell you?"

Kenjaku's expression froze, then he shook his head with some helplessness. "I knew that with your temper, you wouldn't tell me so easily, but you did one thing wrong, and that is that you failed to kill me in that very instant."

Jogo felt a bit grave. He had just activated his Domain, and he was currently in the midst of Cursed Technique burnout, with less than one-tenth of his strength remaining.

The flames that had been used to sneak-attack Kenjaku just now were a reserve that he had stockpiled before opening his Domain, and now they were all used up.
