JJK Jogoat 88 (Patreon)

Kokichi roared maniacally. Having already lost most of his reason, the moment he locked onto Jogo, his remaining sanity was swallowed by rage and despair.

"Ten years' worth of Cursed Energy invested. Beam charging... Fire!"

At that moment, the massive beam of light, transformed from ten years of Cursed Energy poured out in its entirety.

Perhaps under this single strike, nearly half of the bustling city of Shibuya would be destroyed, with survivors inside potentially still waiting for rescue.

But Kokichi didn't care. He wasn't a righteous person to begin with, he only wanted to stand under the sun with the one he loved.

And now, the guy who killed the love of his life was standing right above Shibuya.

Jogo and Sukuna, who were in the middle of their battle, had noticed the rapidly approaching mecha long ago, but neither understood why it had come here.

Since the current timeline was completely different from the original story, Jogo didn't realize for a moment that this was Kokichi's mecha trump card.

Feeling the Cursed Energy coming from the mecha, a look of interest appeared on Sukuna's face.

Such an enormous amount of Cursed Energy is rare. Although the conversion rate is ridiculously low, the sheer accumulation of quantity alone is enough to reach Special Grade.

As the pillar of light descended, Sukuna and Jogo finally realized something was wrong.

Dammit, it turns out the attack is aimed right at us!

The two abandoned their fight and each displayed their own techniques.

With a thought from Jogo, flames transformed into wisps of thread, condensing into a fire shield in front of him, enveloping him from above.

While deploying his defense, he gathered another portion of flames, transforming them into a fire dragon dozens of meters long, which roared as it charged toward the descending beam of light.

Sukuna opened his hands in a drawing-bow gesture. Brilliant flames took shape between his hands, and a fire arrow shot straight out.

The situation changed in an instant. The two who had been fighting tooth and nail just moments ago were now joining forces against a common enemy, pointing their attacks together at Kokichi, who had ambushed the battlefield.

This was undoubtedly the correct decision. No matter how weak Kokichi might be, he still possessed Special Grade combat power, which could already influence the situation.

At this moment, neither side could determine whether this sudden Special Grade combatant would help them or their opponent.

Without knowing the other party's stance, he was a huge threat to either side—definitely a ticking time bomb.

Therefore, when such an unstable factor appeared in an opposing situation, both sides would simultaneously choose to eliminate the ticking time bomb.

Under the control of Jogo and Sukuna, the massive fire dragon merged with the soaring fire arrow at that moment, colliding together with the beam of light.

At the moment the two incredibly powerful energies collided, a visible wave of energy swept across the entire Shibuya sky, the impact affecting the crumbling city below.

...

Ella hid in a shop in a panic, not daring to make a sound, even holding her breath.

Outside the shop where she was hiding, a two-meter-tall Transfigured Human wandered about, letting out roars from time to time.

Beside Ella, her boyfriend James was equally terrified, holding her tightly in his arms. Despite his fear, there was a look of determination to protect his loved one.

They were tourists visiting Japan who had come to Shibuya for the Halloween festivities, only to encounter such a terrifying event.

As the Transfigured Human gradually moved away, James and Ella finally breathed a sigh of relief. They looked into each other's eyes and embraced tightly.

As the saying goes, true feelings are seen in times of trouble, and time reveals a person's heart. In such a moment of life and death, having one's partner choose to face it together—isn't that a kind of happiness in life?

But in the next moment, a wave of energy whistled toward them, submerging the entire shop. The seemingly sturdy building disintegrated under the onslaught of the energy wave.

Puff!

Stuck under a rock, James, who had narrowly escaped death, heard the sound of a blade entering flesh. He struggled to open his eyes and saw the scene he least wanted to see in his life.

Ella's pupils had already dilated. Her waist had been sliced in half by a falling iron plate, cutting her in two on the spot.

"Ella!"

James let out a heart-wrenching cry, but soon he didn't need to shout anymore. A steel pipe fell, precisely passing through his wide-open mouth and piercing him through.

Another wave of energy swept past, and the massive Cursed Energy within it surged down, shredding the corpse of James, who had died with his eyes open, into pieces of meat.

Ella and James were just a small microcosm of the current state of Shibuya. Because of the mutual bombardment of the three individuals' energy, more than half of Shibuya was destroyed as a result.

Realizing that his beam of light was being pushed back, Kokichi knew his attack couldn't overcome the combined efforts of the two.

"You forced my hand! Then let's do this!"

15 years' worth of Cursed Energy poured in—all of it at once!

Kokichi no longer had any will to live, his only purpose for remaining alive now was to kill Jogo.

He wasn't afraid of death, because living was a form of torture for him. So, rather than attacking conservatively, he might as well stake everything on one throw
