'A new group function?'
Yuji Itadori felt curious about what this so-called new function was, and his gaze shifted to the text.
[Group Function Unlocked]
[Group Shop]
[Group mbers can spend points to purchase various items in the mall.]
[Key of Power: 2000 points]
[Effect: Can be used while in another mber's world. The user will unlock the power system lock of that world, allowing them to learn that world's power, skills, special abilities, etc. (Factors such as learning efficiency and results still vary based on the user's own aptitude, and adjustnts will be made according to their original world's power system; no need to use this item for worlds of the sa origin.)]
[Supplentary Explanation: ...]
Yuji Itadori browsed the text above and quickly understood its aning.
The power systems of different worlds were not compatible, which ant that normally, a group mber would be unable to learn the abilities of other worlds.
For example, Yuji Itadori himself had successfully registered as an adventurer in Sato Kazuma's world, but theoretically, he could not directly learn magic skills there. Conversely, Sato Kazuma could not learn the jujutsu of his world either.
This item called the Key of Power would give him the opportunity to learn skills from other worlds.
[Other Items: To be unlocked]
[Skill Upload Function]
[mbers can upload skills/abilities they have mastered to the mall for other mbers to purchase.]
[The number/level of uploadable skills will gradually increase as the number of check-ins grows.]
[Currently Uploadable Skills]
[Basic Cursed Energy Manipulation: 2000 points]
Yuji Itadori narrowed his eyes slightly.
Skill upload?
In a sense, it allowed the group mbers to share their skills with each other.
Previously, Yuji Itadori had pondered the possibility of learning skills from other worlds, such as magic.
The more abilities one had, the more things one could achieve, and the more people one could help.
The sa applied to the others in the group.
However, this was also tied to one's check-in count. Because he hadn't checked in enough tis yet, Yuji Itadori could only upload 'Basic Cursed Energy Manipulation,' a skill that seed relatively broad.
At the sa ti, the other group mbers also saw the updated group ssage.
[Useless Goddess, You Really Deserve to Die: Wait a minute! Doesn't this Key of Power an I can learn the jujutsu from the Group Leader's world?]
Sato Kazuma's mind was still filled with the possibility of learning a domain and making a fortune in his own world.
[Jealous Witch's Object of Escape: Theoretically possible, but look at the description after the item. Learning efficiency and results still depend on the individual; this is only equivalent to a stepping stone.]
[Useless Goddess, You Really Deserve to Die: Maybe I'm actually a jujutsu genius!]
Although Sato Kazuma said this in the group for the sake of his pride, he couldn't help but sigh when he thought of the pathetic stats on his Adventurer Card.
[Jujutsu Physical Education Student: Two thousand points isn't a small amount, either. But this skill upload function seems very special, like we can share skills with each other. Mine seems to be blank, though; there's nothing there.]
[Only Love White-Haired Elves: I seem to have an option called 'Basic Swordsmanship.' It costs 500 points. I'll try uploading it.]
A few seconds later, a new prompt popped up in the chat group.
[Only Love White-Haired Elves has uploaded the skill 'Basic Swordsmanship.']
Everyone else could also see the new product appear in the mall.
[Basic Swordsmanship: 500 points]
[Jealous Witch's Object of Escape: Oh, I can really see it. Does this an if I spend 500 points, I can learn basic swordsmanship?]
[Only Love White-Haired Elves: Theoretically, that's how it works. It's likely because my check-in count isn't high enough that I can only upload this skill. Do you guys have other skills?]
[Jujutsu Physical Education Student: I don't.]
[Jealous Witch's Object of Escape: neither...]
[Useless Goddess, You Really Deserve to Die: Hahaha, look at you people! I have a skill to share!]
[Useless Goddess, You Really Deserve to Die has uploaded the skill 'Steal']
[Steal: 3000 points]
[Jealous Witch's Object of Escape: Wait a sec, what is this Steal skill? It actually costs 3000 points? For real?]
[Useless Goddess, You Really Deserve to Die: I told you not to look down on ! This skill can directly steal the most precious thing on another person's body for your own use!]
Across the screen, everyone could sense Sato Kazuma's smugness.
However, Sato Kazuma himself hadn't expected that this skill, which had seed useless before, would actually be so expensive.
[Jujutsu Physical Education Student: In that case, Kazuma, do you have a video of you using this skill? Let us get a general understanding of it.]
[Useless Goddess, You Really Deserve to Die: Of course! Hold on a mont!]
Soon, Sato Kazuma released a mory fragnt of the first ti he used the Steal skill.
However, after seeing the content of the video, almost everyone in the group fell into silence.
On the screen, Sato Kazuma used the Steal skill on gumin—and in the next second, her panties appeared in his hand.
[Jealous Witch's Object of Escape: Should we call the police?]
[Jujutsu Physical Education Student: ...]
[Only Love White-Haired Elves: The most precious thing you ntioned... was that?]
[Useless Goddess, You Really Deserve to Die: Is that not important?!]
While the group was in a heated discussion, Yuji Itadori also uploaded his skill.
[Unsurrounded One has uploaded the skill 'Basic Cursed Energy Manipulation']
His other self didn't have any skills to upload, perhaps because Young Itadori hadn't mastered cursed energy at this stage.
Yuji Itadori himself might take this opportunity to learn more skills.
The sa applied to Young Itadori.
[Jujutsu Physical Education Student: So Senpai was here all along.]
[Useless Goddess, You Really Deserve to Die: Has the Group Leader been lurking this whole ti?]
[Unsurrounded One: I just didn't quite know how to join this particular topic of yours.]
Yuji Itadori shook his head sowhat helplessly.
The next morning.
In a cafe, a man wearing monk's robes sat in a corner.
Beneath his long hair was a sowhat delicate face, though those fox-like eyes projected a hint of cunning. There was also a strange stitched scar across his forehead.
Kenjaku.
This body originally belonged to the forr special grade jujutsu sorcerer Geto Suguru, but it had now been seized by him.
In the eyes of others, he was talking to himself, which looked quite odd.
However, in places invisible to ordinary people, three eerie existences sat beside him.
"Satoru Gojo... even if we work together, we can't kill him?"
The speaker was a cursed spirit with a volcano-shaped head. A single massive eyeball was embedded in the center of its head, and its tone sounded sowhat impatient.
Jogo.
Beside him were two other strangely shaped cursed spirits. One had an almost human body but was grayish-white all over, with branch-like horns replacing its eyes. Two rows of hideous teeth were fully exposed, unconcealed by lips.
The other looked entirely like a giant squid, though it seed not yet fully developed.
Hanami and Dagon.
They were all special grade cursed spirits, originating from humanity's fear of nature.
And they had sought out Kenjaku precisely because they wanted to cooperate with him—to plan a major attack on human society and create a new era belonging only to cursed spirits.
"He would easily escape. Worse yet, you might all be exorcised by him."
Kenjaku had a smile on his face as he spoke to Jogo,
"Rather than killing him, I suggest you find a way to seal him."
"Seal? With what?"
"A special grade cursed object—the Prison Realm."
"The Prison Realm?!"
Upon hearing this na, Jogo's eyes widened in surprise, and the volcano on his head erupted with scorching flas.
However, ordinary people could not see the existence of cursed spirits, let alone these flas; they could only feel the temperature in the room rising rapidly.
"Don't get excited, it's getting hot!"
Kenjaku slightly raised his chin, as if able to see through the other's thoughts.
To him, the three cursed spirits in front of him were rely pawns to be used.
To achieve his goals, Kenjaku had been secretly laying out his plans.
The special grade cursed spirit at the Juvenile Detention Center was created by Kenjaku using Sukuna's Finger.
He manipulated the higher-ups of the Jujutsu World to arrange other tasks for Satoru Gojo so that he couldn't return imdiately. The sa was done for other high-ranking jujutsu sorcerers. This way, Jujutsu High would have no choice but to send the first-year students.
They were absolutely no match for a special grade cursed spirit; soone would likely die.
In the end, Yuji Itadori would surely have no choice but to let Sukuna act.
He wanted to use that special grade cursed spirit to test Sukuna's strength.
Judging by the result, the destruction of the special grade cursed spirit proved Sukuna's power.
But Kenjaku felt that sothing was off.
According to intelligence, the three freshn, including Yuji Itadori, had co out completely unscathed—there wasn't even a scratch on them.
This was different from Kenjaku's expectations.
He had later sneaked to the site of the battle. Based on the conditions at the scene, Kenjaku could tell that it was indeed Sukuna's cursed technique, yet there were so parts that were slightly different.
This had been bothering Kenjaku.
However, he didn't know what was going on.
"Sir, may I take your order?"
Just then, the manager of the cafe walked up to Geto Suguru and asked politely.
He couldn't see that he was already standing right next to the agitated Jogo—
In the next instant, scorching flas spread across his body without warning, completely engulfing him in less than a second!
The people around didn't even have ti to react to what happened. By the ti they regained their senses, he had beco nothing but a human-shaped piece of charcoal.
A heart-wrenching scream erupted from nearby, but the waitress who cried out was silenced quickly—
Because another surge of fire consud her as well.
Flas raged through the shop, swallowing the people inside one by one. Most didn't even have ti to process what was occurring.
In an instant, the entire cafe had turned into a sea of fire, and the sll of charred human tissue spread through the air.
This was all Jogo's doing.
Jogo sat on his chair, smoke rising from his volcano-shaped head. A light of anger mixed with excitent burned in that giant eyeball.
He looked at the burning corpses beside him, the faces twisted in the flas, and the charred, curled bodies. His mouth slowly split into a hideous, satisfied smile.
"Humans,"
His voice was low and raspy, as if soaked in magma,
"Are too fragile."
"Don't make a big scene."
Kenjaku sighed and shook his head sowhat helplessly.
"Then this will do!"
Jogo laughed madly, looking at Kenjaku,
"So Geto, how would you rank my strength in terms of Sukuna's fingers?"
"To be polite, about eight or nine fingers."
"Give the Prison Realm. I will be the one to kill Satoru Gojo!"
The smile on Jogo's face widened, seemingly very imrsed in this slaughter.
Evening.
"Hey, Yuji, I brought the things you wanted."
In that familiar secret room, Satoru Gojo sat on a chair with a smile on his face, placing two boxes covered in talismans on the table.
"First are the special grade cursed objects, the Cursed Womb: Death Paintings—and additionally, the Sukuna's Fingers kept by Jujutsu High. It took quite a bit of effort to find them~ especially dealing with the barrier techniques and such."
Even as Satoru Gojo said this, he maintained a relaxed expression.
"It should have been a breeze for you, Gojo-sensei."
Yuji Itadori nodded to Satoru Gojo.
"Oh, please, it took a full few minutes."
"Jujutsu High wouldn't have agreed to this, right?"
"Yeah, they'd never agree—but to , what difference does their agreent make? Of course, they probably don't know the items are missing yet. Not for the mont."
Satoru Gojo let out a yawn and then continued,
"So Yuji, how do you plan to handle them?"
"As for Sukuna's fingers, I plan to find a way to purify them myself and render them harmless. As for the Death Paintings—"
Yuji Itadori's finger rested lightly on the box containing the Cursed Womb: Death Paintings.
"I will also find a way for them to obtain physical bodies. Naturally, I won't use that kind of incarnation thod; there will certainly be another way."
"Is that so? It seems one of them is very important to you."
"Yes, very important."
As he spoke, Yuji Itadori stored these cursed objects into his Group Inventory.
