Isekai Adventure in the Dimensional Cube-Chapter 1413 - 994: Didn’t You Already Lose Once?

"Boom!"

Amidst the countless explosions, Gojo Satoru landed a punch squarely on Sukuna’s face, sending him flying.

Yet he didn’t feel a sense of triumph at all.

"That Array..."

Floating above Ryomensukuna’s head, the Array was naturally visible to Gojo Satoru’s Six Eyes.

And Gojo happened to know what that Array was.

"Sukuna, just like Reiger, managed to subdue that troublesome thing?"

Gojo Satoru felt a hint of heaviness in his heart.

If that was indeed the case, then it would be a bit troublesome.

"Boom!"

As Gojo Satoru was contemplating this, Sukuna, who had been sent flying, flickered and misstepped, rapidly darting to his front to land a punch on Gojo Satoru’s face as well.

The [Limitless Curse Technique]’s invulnerability immediately tried to isolate Sukuna’s attack with neutral stopping power, but Sukuna’s fist was wrapped in a halo, easily breaking through it to hit Gojo Satoru’s face.

This was the technique he had used against Reiger last time—Domain Amplification.

By enveloping himself with an uncast domain like a watery shield, Sukuna significantly enhanced the neutralizing effect of the domain, thereby neutralizing the invulnerability of [Limitless Curse Technique], easily striking Gojo Satoru.

"Tch..."

Feeling the pain in his cheek, Gojo Satoru stabilized his lower half to avoid being knocked away, while glancing at the top of Sukuna’s head.

The Array floating there had suddenly rotated just now.

"Domain Expansion!"

Without hesitation, Gojo Satoru formed a hand seal and expanded his domain once again.

"Domain Expansion."

Likewise, Ryomensukuna, who had punched Gojo Satoru, formed the Tan Tu Seal unhurriedly and expanded his domain with a cold smile.

Both of their domains expanded smoothly, engulfing the black sphere and the blood-red field, covering both Gojo Satoru and the ascendant shrine-backed Sukuna at once.

This scene would certainly make others exclaim in astonishment, right?

Domain Expansion, as the pinnacle of curse techniques and the ultimate mystery, was exceptionally rare to encounter even once, let alone twice in a single battle.

Cursed energy tends to deplete greatly during domain expansion, unable to support a second use at all.

Yet both Gojo Satoru and Ryomensukuna performed a second Domain Expansion.

This speaks volumes about the immense cursed energy possessed by both.

"Boom!"

Immediately, on the black barrier rising in mid-air, endless slashes rained down once more, aiming to destroy Gojo Satoru’s domain.

But this time, Gojo Satoru’s domain held firm.

He altered the domain’s barrier effect, reversing the previously brittle exterior relative to the interior from the inside out, turning it fragile inside.

Although this weakened the domain’s sealing effect, it prolonged the time before Sukuna’s domain could break it down completely.

"Bang bang bang bang bang...!"

Without delay, within the domain, Gojo Satoru unleashed an even fiercer onslaught on Sukuna, his fists pounding like heavy battering rams, each strike creating shockwaves that seemed to split mountains and stones.

Sukuna attempted to ward off Gojo Satoru’s strikes but realized he could neither evade nor effectively parry them.

"Is it the [Blue] from the [Limitless Curse Technique]...?!"

Sukuna detected this fact.

Gojo Satoru was applying the gravitational pull of [Blue] to his fists, creating suction that prevented Sukuna from retreating or dodging, forcing him to take head-on hits.

Under the influence of [Blue], Gojo Satoru’s fist power mixed with the gravitational pull not only partially disrupted Sukuna’s posture but also generated a secondary impact, thus increasing the power manifold.

"You’re impressive, Gojo Satoru!"

With blood seeping from the corners of his mouth, Sukuna maintained his cold smile, instead of retreating, he advanced, continuing to exchange attacks with Gojo Satoru.

As the confrontation proceeded, Gojo Satoru noticed that the [Blue] on his fists and feet began to lose effect on Sukuna.

The halo enveloping Sukuna grew denser, neutralizing not only the invulnerability but gradually neutralizing [Blue] applied to his fists and feet.

"Bang—bang—"

Caught off guard by his technique being neutralized, Gojo Satoru took several heavy blows from Sukuna to his face, chest, and shoulder, causing him to spit blood from his mouth and nose.

"[Red]!"

Gojo Satoru widened his Six Eyes, extended his finger toward Sukuna, and shot out a red light.

"[Break]!"

Unwilling to be outdone, Sukuna released a slash, clashing with the incoming red light.

"Boom!"

At once, the visible red light and the invisible slash collided fiercely, exploding with a roar, driving both Gojo Satoru and Sukuna apart.

"Bang!"

Simultaneously, Gojo Satoru’s domain was ultimately destroyed by Sukuna’s relentless attacks, shattering into fragments.

Appearing back on the battlefield, the two were subsequently separated, retreating a distance from each other.

"Pfft!" "Pfft!" "Pfft!"...

The next second, Gojo Satoru was hit with countless slashing attacks again, blood gushing from his body.

His own domain was destroyed, while the enemy’s domain remained intact. The result was naturally the same as the first time, with the inevitable slashing attacks from the domain, causing Gojo Satoru serious injuries on the spot.

This time, the injuries were much more severe than last time.

Knowing that Gojo Satoru would heal himself with the reverse technique despite being slashed countless times, Sukuna aimed to end it once and for all, releasing the most slashing attacks towards Gojo Satoru’s head, resulting in the most severe bleeding from his neck and head.

If not for the Six Eyes allowing Gojo Satoru to clearly observe the trajectory of the cursed energy from the slashing attacks, forcing him to concentrate most of the cursed energy on his head and neck, greatly strengthening his defense, his head would have already been slashed into pieces by now.

"...Absolutely on the downside?"

Gojo Satoru retreated violently, smoke rising from his entire body, until he exited Sukuna’s domain before stopping.

Touching the countless wounds on his neck that were still healing, Gojo Satoru surprisingly still had the leisure to reminisce.

"How long has it been since I’ve encountered such a situation?"

The last time he was absolutely on the downside, facing near-death several times, seemed to be eleven years ago?

His opponent at that time, Gojo Satoru would probably never forget his name.

He was called Fushiguro Toji, originally named Zenin Toji, the biological father of Fushiguro Megumi, the ultimate reverse case of Heaven and Curse Binding, a tyrant with zero cursed energy.

Facing him, Gojo Satoru was beaten badly, if not for finally comprehending the true power of reverse technique, awakening the power of "Red" and even "Purple," he might have died.

Since then, Gojo Satoru successively understood twenty-four hours of uninterrupted invincibility and also learned domain expansion, becoming the strongest.

Also from that time, Gojo Satoru never encountered a rival again.

Not only a rival, but even an opponent who could properly challenge him did not exist.

If that weren’t the case, he wouldn’t have claimed supremacy over heaven and earth.

Until today, he once again experienced the feeling of being near-death.

"Well, that’s good."

Gojo Satoru revealed a smile, like a child.

"Rather than being trapped in the Prison Gate Border for hundreds or thousands of years unable to escape, it’s better to fight to the death in this battle!"

An absolute champion, the loneliness of high places, this is also Gojo Satoru’s reality reflection.

Now, facing a formidable foe with a low chance of winning even at full strength, Gojo Satoru couldn’t help but feel excited.

"Heh."

Sukuna, walking slowly out of the lifted domain, saw Gojo Satoru revealing a smile, wiping away the blood at the corner of his mouth, also smiling.

"Ever thought about this day before?"

Sukuna was, of course, referring to the time of his initial awakening, when he was facing Gojo Satoru with only the cursed energy of one finger.

"I said it back then, right?" Sukuna’s eyes flashed red as he looked at Gojo Satoru, raised his head, and spoke as if overlooking an opponent: "Once I completely seize the kid’s body, the first person I would kill is you."

"Sorry, I forgot." Gojo Satoru scratched his head without showing any respect: "But you haven’t completely seized Yuji’s body yet, have you?"

"Yeah, switched to this kid." Sukuna opened his hand, smiling: "But it’s the same, anyway, using Fushiguro Megumi’s hand to kill you will still make me feel satisfied."

"Then quickly enjoy yourself now." Gojo Satoru returned with a provoking smile, and even a mocking smile: "Otherwise, when my other student arrives, you won’t be able to be happy."

Ryomensukuna’s expression froze on his face, indeed, he couldn’t smile anymore.

He, of course, knew who Gojo Satoru was referring to.

Looking up, he glanced at the Array that turned a circle again, Ryomensukuna spoke without expression.

"I think I will lose to him?"

Responding to Sukuna’s words, Gojo Satoru laughed heartily without giving any face.

"You talk as if it’s rare, haven’t you lost once already?"

Upon hearing this, invisible slashing attacks immediately rushed towards Gojo Satoru like a storm, overwhelming him.

".........!"

Seeing this, Gojo Satoru instinctively posed, ready to respond, when a figure suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom...!"

Countless slashing attacks fell madly but were skillfully caught by the opponent, strangely twisting space, blocking them all with a curtain by pulling the surrounding space in front.

If Ulro Kenko were here, witnessing this scene, she would definitely be shocked on the spot?

Because, this was exactly her technique.

"Oh?"

Ryomensukuna stopped the attack, the red light in his eyes intensifying.

"Reiger?"

Gojo Satoru was stunned, looking at the figure appearing in front of him.

The one breaking into the battle was naturally Reiger.

"It’s unfortunate."

Reiger didn’t turn around, facing Sukuna with his back to Gojo Satoru, saying lightly.

"A substitution at halftime."

Saying this, Reiger also glanced at the Array above Ryomensukuna’s head.

The Array had already turned several circles and now stopped.
