Chapter 175 - CHAPTER 18: BESTFRIENDS' CARNAGE

Sukuna's body hit the ground with a sickening crunch, dust billowing around him as cracks webbed across the concrete. He barely had time to lift his head before two pairs of heels stepped into view—graceful, sharp, and merciless.

Utahime Iori and Mei Mei.

Sukuna stared at them through one swollen eye. "What now…?"

Utahime cracked her neck, rolling her shoulders. "Now, you answer for everything."

Mei Mei adjusted her hair, smiling coldly. "Let's see if the King of Curses is worth the price tag."

Before Sukuna could retort—

"Ryoiki Tenkai – Melody of Empowerment."

Utahime's Domain Expansion exploded into being: elegant, harmonic, a stage of flowing lights and ancient ceremonial symbols that circled like stars. A rhythmic echo pulsed in the air, resonating like a battle hymn.

Everyone within the domain—except Sukuna—felt it: their cursed energy surged, techniques sharpened, movements more fluid.

"Ryoiki Tenkai – Ravenous Prosperity."

Mei Mei's Domain Expansion followed right behind, dark and regal—feathers of cursed ravens spiraling through the space. It was a realm built on precision, assassination, and wealth-fed power. Her crows hovered above, blades of cursed energy drawn like guillotines.

Sukuna stood at the center of both domains. Alone. Surrounded.

The first strike came from Utahime—a spiraling blast of musical cursed energy that hammered into his chest, launching him backward.

Mei Mei was already there, swinging a cursed axe overhead as her crows dive-bombed from above. Sukuna raised his arms just in time—only to be shredded by the feathered blades, blood painting the domain walls like crimson strokes on paper.

From the sidelines, still seated with a drink in hand, Gojo Satoru exploded with excitement.

"YOOOOOOOOO! LOOK AT THAT, SUKUNA!" he screamed, fist-pumping. "THOSE TWO BADASSES ARE MY BEST FRIENDS! THEY'RE BEATING THE ABSOLUTE HELL OUT OF YOU!"

Utahime paused mid-chant and gave him a death glare so potent it silenced the battlefield for a second.

Even Shoko sighed. "He's so loud…"

Mei Mei, however, just laughed mid-fight. "He always was an idiot," she said, spinning midair with a crescent slash that carved across Sukuna's chest. "But he does have good taste in allies."

Utahime moved with grace—her kicks empowered by cursed rhythm, each one landing like a drumbeat of devastation. Sukuna's body was being pummeled, unable to retaliate within two overlapping domains.

He tried to summon a cursed technique—but Mei Mei's crows clawed through his wrists, canceling the hand signs.

Sukuna finally roared in frustration, face wild and desperate. "ENOUGH!"

But Utahime stepped in front of him, eyes blazing.

"No," she whispered.

Her hands moved one final time, a sealing note spinning through the air—

BOOM.

An explosion of cursed harmony sent Sukuna skidding across the ground, craters forming beneath him as blood poured freely from his mouth.

Gojo stood up, clapping like a proud idiot at a school play.

"I LOVE THIS SHOW!"
