Looking at Kenjaku who suddenly appeared before her, Chinatsu immediately understood that her plan to have Mei Mei monitor Kenjaku had failed.
However, Chinatsu didn't feel much surprise at the failure of this plan. After all, the opponent was Kenjaku, an old fox who had lived for a thousand years. If he sensed even a little, it wouldn't be difficult for him to evade surveillance.
The main thing was that this thousand-year-old fox, Kenjaku, actually stopped being cautious and directly attacked her. She had to admit that this move startled Chinatsu and made her feel that the situation was tricky.
There is a world of difference between a Jujutsu Sorcerer who can use Domain Expansion and one who cannot. Even if a normal battle is one-sided, if one party activates a Domain Expansion, the tide of battle will reverse.
And that was precisely the situation now.
But... so what!
Chinatsu quickly adjusted her state. She would not fear an enemy. Ever since she mastered Reverse Cursed Technique and awakened, that famous quote, though not spoken by her or Gojo Satoru, was etched in her heart.
Throughout Heaven and Earth, I alone am the honored one!
Looking at Chinatsu, who immediately clenched her fists and entered a state of readiness, Kenjaku's eyes couldn't help but show a hint of admiration, and the sound of his clapping hands was continuous.
Over a thousand years, Kenjaku had seen more than one or two Rikugan. Even when two Rikugan were born simultaneously in this generation, he wasn't overly surprised, believing it wouldn't hinder his plan.
But when Chinatsu and Gojo Satoru awakened and achieved the strongest at such a young age, a long-lost sense of crisis, absent for a millennium, surged within him.
If he continued to bide his time and let them develop further, his grand plan, even if it could proceed, would definitely not be smooth.
He had used his accumulated resources over the years to plant a mole within the Jujutsu World Higher-ups, originally intending to use him when the grand plan was underway, but now it was brought forward.
But... he had no regrets!
Thinking of this, he saw her lips curl into a slight smile. Just as she was about to raise her arm to strike Chinatsu, she suddenly realized that Chinatsu, who had been standing directly in front of her, had vanished.
Like a ghostly phantom, Chinatsu's figure suddenly disappeared and then reappeared less than half a meter in front of Kenjaku. She clenched her fist, gathered her strength, and struck out.
Kenjaku's face was taut as she quickly twisted her body, barely managing to dodge Chinatsu's sudden punch. Even so, a bloodstain from the friction was left on her cheek.
After missing the punch, Chinatsu didn't give up on the attack. She spun her body in place, delivering a high kick towards Kenjaku's head.
Kenjaku reacted in time, crossing her arms in a defensive posture to block Chinatsu's kick. Under Chinatsu's Cursed Energy reinforcement and the output of "Blue," although Kenjaku blocked the kick with crossed arms, she was still pushed back a meter or two, her feet scraping on the ground.
As the elder sister figure to Geto Suguru and Gojo Satoru, although Chinatsu preferred to be a pure sorcerer, she hadn't neglected her physical training.
While battles between Jujutsu Sorcerers tend to lean towards Cursed Technique duels, if the Cursed Technique levels are similar, the key to victory ultimately falls to physical prowess.
This was Kenjaku's viewpoint in the original work. Although Chinatsu couldn't help but complain when reading the manga that it shouldn't be called "jujutsu kaisen" but rather "Beat-Jutsu Kaisen."
But complaints aside, after truly becoming a Jujutsu Sorcerer, Chinatsu reluctantly acknowledged Kenjaku's point of view.
The body is very important!
Even with her arms crossed in defense, Kenjaku was kicked back two or three meters. Her face was somewhat distorted, as she hadn't expected Chinatsu's attack to be so fierce.
She dropped her crossed-arm defense and saw Chinatsu raise a hand, her palm forming a gun-like shape, aimed at Kenjaku.
A crimson projectile rapidly condensed from her fingertips. Kenjaku, familiar with the Gojo Family's Limitless, immediately recognized this as the Cursed Technique Reversal.
"Red!"
Just as Chinatsu was about to fire the crimson projectile condensed at her fingertip towards Kenjaku, a sudden, overwhelming gravitational force was applied from above to Chinatsu's position.
Although Chinatsu herself had Limitless Defense, she wasn't greatly affected by the gravity.
However, under this strong gravitational force, the ground beneath her feet instantly crumbled, causing Chinatsu to lose her balance. The Red in her hand veered off its intended trajectory, grazing past Kenjaku and exploding to her left.
That was... Gravity Cursed Technique just now?
No, to be precise, it was the Cursed Technique [Anti-Gravity System]. Its basic ability is anti-gravity manipulation, but just as Chinatsu can use Cursed Technique Reversal, anti-gravity can also be reversed into gravity.
This was not Kenjaku's inherent Cursed Technique, but another manifestation of his brain-swapping and body-snatching ability. He could use the abilities of the body he had taken over.
A bit tricky... Chinatsu muttered to herself, but she wasn't intimidated. In terms of Cursed Technique performance, she believed her Limitless would not lose to any Cursed Technique.
Blue! Red! Purple!
Three swift attacks to take him down!
Facing Chinatsu's soaring morale, Kenjaku, knowing the capabilities of Limitless, naturally wasn't prepared to continue confronting Chinatsu in a normal state.
He raised his hands and then flipped them front to back, making a gesture similar to the reverse gassho in Buddhism. And such gestures in jujutsu kaisen only mean one thing.
"Domain Expansion: Womb Profusion."
At this moment, the sky seemed to darken.
A tree-shaped mass rose from the ground behind Kenjaku. From a distance, it looked like a towering tree, but upon closer inspection, one would find that this "great tree" had no leaves; instead, it was covered with grotesque faces, exuding an eerie atmosphere.
Womb, encompassing all beings.
A chilling atmosphere spread in all directions. Although Chinatsu didn't yet understand the specific effects of this Domain, she already felt her body and mind sink.
The advantage she held in a normal state vanished the moment Kenjaku activated his Domain. Under the Domain's [Sure-Hit] effect, Chinatsu's Limitless Defense would be like a piece of paper, and Kenjaku's attacks would bypass her defense and strike her body directly.
However, Chinatsu didn't just give up. She crouched down, making a movement similar to drawing a sword.
Within Kenjaku's Domain, Chinatsu's Cursed Energy created a temporary pure land that had not yet been encroached upon, neutralizing and nullifying Kenjaku's Sure-Hit effect for a short time.
This was a Simple Domain, also known as the Domain of the weak, capable of temporarily neutralizing the Sure-Hit effect of a proper Domain.
However, this was truly only for a short time. Chinatsu's Simple Domain had just opened, and this pure land already showed signs of being encroached upon.
Chinatsu maintained her sword-drawing stance, gazing at the confident Kenjaku in front of her, the pressure in her heart steadily rising as the Simple Domain was continuously eroded...
