Future Yuji Itadori Joins the Chat Group Chapter 80: Gluttony's Authority? You Won't Get the Chance t

A look of sheer terror instantly washed over the girl's face.

She couldn't understand why Yuji Itadori would appear here.

Wasn't this guy just fighting Regulus a mont ago?

Just before Yuji Itadori had unleashed the World Cutting Slash against Regulus, Lye's body—which had originally lost its ability to move—was taken over by another soul.

Louis Arneb.

Also a Sin Archbishop of Gluttony.

Unlike the other Sin Archbishops, the position of Sin Archbishop of Gluttony was held jointly by three siblings.

The eldest brother Lye, the second brother Roy.

And at this mont, the one controlling the body was the youngest sister among them, Louis.

Completely unlike her two brothers, she had lived since birth in a rather unique space—the Corridor of mories. She had no physical body, could not leave that space, and could not et people.

However, Louis could observe the world through her brothers' eyes and control their bodies to act.

Just now, after Lye lost his mobility, Louis took control of the body—when she possessed Lye, the physical form would transform into her original appearance.

Louis hadn't expected Yuji Itadori's strength to be so terrifying.

Theoretically, Lye using Solar Eclipse should possess speed beyond what the human eye could capture. The powerful figures they had devoured in the past, such as those with the title of 'Leaper', were proof of that; that kind of instantaneous flash was absolutely not sothing an ordinary person could react to.

But Yuji Itadori had reacted.

Not only that, the abilities he displayed were truly baffling.

rely by getting close, their weapons were pulverized by those invisible Slashing Attacks, and Lye's body was hit while completely off-guard.

This was definitely not sothing Magic could achieve.

The reason Louis was so certain was precisely because the three siblings of Gluttony could devour the mories of others.

In her vast sea of mories, Louis had never seen any ability like his.

But what Louis least expected was why Yuji Itadori would appear before her at this very mont?

Through her brother's eyes, Louis was very clear on Regulus's ability.

As long as his Authority remained unbroken, Regulus was an invincible existence—it wouldn't even be an exaggeration to call him the strongest Sin Archbishop.

To be safe, and also to prevent Lye from being caught in the crossfire of the battle, Louis had controlled the body to temporarily flee the area.

However, Louis hadn't anticipated that Yuji Itadori would co before her.

Could Regulus have been defeated?

How was that possible?

Hadn't that guy constantly claid he was invincible?

But why was this person appearing before her?

Furthermore...

How could he possibly possess such speed?

A series of questions surfaced in Louis's mind, yet she could find no answers.

While Louis was deep in thought, Yuji Itadori spoke again:

"Who are you?"

Half of Yuji Itadori's face was hidden in shadow, making his expression impossible to discern.

He was certain that the girl before him was the previous Lye.

At least, the body originally was.

His gaze fell upon Louis.

Beneath the long blonde hair was a fair and cute face, though the sharp teeth in her mouth looked very out of place; her slender and petite fra was wrapped in a black dress.

Yuji Itadori speculated that her situation might be sowhat similar to his own past.

Two souls housed within one body.

"Sin Archbishop of Gluttony—Louis Arneb."

Louis introduced herself bluntly, her wary gaze locked onto Yuji Itadori.

"You are also Gluttony? I originally thought there was only one person per seat for the Sin Archbishops."

"Generally, there is indeed only one, but Gluttony is shared by the three of us."

"Three people? Is there another soul inside your body?"

"No. Only 'we' can control our brothers' bodies. Big brother lost so miserably, and our other elder brother follows another woman's every word—it's truly a hassle."

Yuji Itadori noticed that Louis consistently used 'we' as a first-person pronoun.

"Besides, little brother, why are you here? Shouldn't you be fighting that guy who talks about rights and perfection every ti he opens his mouth?"

While questioning him, Louis observed her surroundings without showing it.

Right now, she wasn't clear on what abilities Yuji Itadori actually possessed. If they fought head-on, it would likely be disadvantageous for her.

"Because that guy has already been defeated."

Yuji Itadori's gaze projected onto Louis's face.

That gaze was incomparably sharp.

"Talking every day about how invincible he is, yet he was defeated in the end?"

A cold sneer appeared on Louis's face.

"Little brother, how about we act like we never saw each other? We were just passing by anyway~"

"I cannot simply let you leave. You trample on the lives of others; you must pay the price for that."

"We aren't like that Regulus guy. We don't like killing people; we just need to eat, to consu their nas and mories! We just long for a happy life! To plunder, to chew, to feast! Whether it's gourt food or foul food, we don't care. The point of a al isn't what you eat, but who you eat with!"

Yuji Itadori didn't understand what the Louis in front of him was talking about.

Not killing directly like Regulus, but eating nas and mories?

Regardless, Yuji Itadori knew very well that to the world, she was absolutely a dangerous existence.

He didn't speak, but standing before Louis was already his answer.

"It seems you aren't willing to step aside, little brother. In that case, we can't let our brother fall into your hands either."

Louis's expression instantly turned cold as a terrifying killing intent swept forth.

Solar Eclipse.

Based on the nas consud, she could reproduce the victim's entire existence upon herself, taking on their appearance.

Unlike Lunar Eclipse, which only reproduced skills, Solar Eclipse completely transford her into the person whose existence had been stolen by Gluttony, allowing her to utilize the power of their skills to the maximum extent.

Lye almost never used Solar Eclipse under normal circumstances.

The risk of this ability was too great; transforming oneself into soone else could even lead to one's original personality being affected.

Louis, however, was completely different.

The reason she could control Lye's body was by using the power of Solar Eclipse.

In a matter of seconds, Louis's body transford into a tall giant—

Neiji Lockhart, a powerful figure once known as the King of Fists.

A random swing of his fist could shatter boulders.

Louis thought that by utilizing the power of Solar Eclipse, she might be able to fight Yuji Itadori.

But as it turned out, she was overthinking it.

The speed at which Louis activated Solar Eclipse was extrely fast, capable of completing the transformation in seconds.

However, Yuji Itadori was faster.

Before Louis's body structure could completely change, Yuji Itadori's Cleave had already struck her limbs, restricting her movent.

"What?!"

Louis was dumbfounded. It had all happened too suddenly; she didn't even have ti to make the slightest reaction.

In the next second, Yuji Itadori's fist slamd into her chest.

The intense pain nearly caused Louis to lose consciousness instantly.

But very quickly, Louis sensed sothing was wrong.

It wasn't just pain, but so unspeakable presence was tearing at her soul.

Her Authority... couldn't be activated?!

The body that had just transford into the King of Fists was now reversing, changing back to its original form.

Not only that, even Louis's control over Lye's body began to fall into chaos.

I can't... change back...

What is going on?!

It was only then that Louis suddenly realized sothing.

She realized the reason for Regulus's defeat.

The reason Yuji Itadori could defeat him was because his attacks could affect the soul.

And Authorities are attached to the soul.

This guy... just what is his background?!

Pain, confusion, and all sorts of sensations flooded Louis's mind.

But very soon, everything stopped.

Because Louis had lost consciousness.

"Senior Itadori!"

Seeing that Yuji Itadori had returned, Natsuki Subaru and Rem hurried forward to ask him.

Natsuki Subaru noticed Yuji Itadori was carrying soone on his shoulder and subconsciously assud he had captured Lye, but upon walking closer, he saw a completely unfamiliar face.

"How co the one you brought back is a girl?"

"She's called Louis, also a Sin Archbishop of Gluttony. It seems she shares a body with Lye," Yuji Itadori replied.

Rem, standing to the side, nodded. The witch's scent emanating from Louis was enough to prove Yuji Itadori's words were true.

"She seems to use so kind of Authority to gain control of this body, but my attack hit her, and she shouldn't be able to use her Authority normally now, so she can't change back."

After fighting these two, Yuji Itadori could basically confirm that his attacks on the soul would also take effect on their Authorities.

This perhaps ant that the so-called Authorities were connected to the soul.

If that were the case, then his Slashing Attacks that could be launched against the soul might even have the possibility of stripping an Authority away.

However, Yuji Itadori was only speculating at this point.

He needed to know more about the Witch Cult and Authorities.

"I see."

Natsuki Subaru nodded, though he didn't fully understand and only grasped the general idea.

"Anyway, the Sin Archbishop of Gluttony has been defeated, right?"

"Yes, she's lost consciousness."

Yuji Itadori looked at Louis on his shoulder and continued, "She shouldn't wake up for a while. Later, we might be able to get so information out of her."

Yuji Itadori wanted to know about the Witch Cult.

Greed, Gluttony... the Witch of Envy had also been ntioned before.

It seed to be related to the Seven Deadly Sins.

But why were so called Witches while others were Sin Archbishops?

Authorities seed to be their exclusive abilities; so, did the 'Mother' ntioned by Elsa and ili have anything to do with the Witch Cult?

And...

Natsuki Subaru's nickna in the group was 'Jealous Witch's Object of Escape'; what connection did he have with the Jealous Witch?

At the sa ti, Yuji Itadori was very concerned about the fact that children would beco cultists.

Whether it was Lye or Louis, they only looked to be about fourteen or fifteen years old.

Prior to those two, ili was even younger.

Why would these children step into such a dangerous and cruel world?

Yuji Itadori shook his head and looked up at the sky, lost in thought until the discussion between Rem and Natsuki Subaru nearby pulled his mind back.

"For the Witch Cult to appear in this place... I'm afraid the abnormal activity in the territory is related to them!" Rem said with a serious expression.

"But what exactly do these cultists want to do?" Natsuki Subaru asked in confusion.

"They are an extre organization. It seems everything they do is to unseal the forr Jealous Witch... It is likely because Lady Emilia publicly entered the Royal Selection."

"So it really is because of Emilia?"

Natsuki Subaru's expression grew heavy, and his tone beca urgent.

"Luckily we're close now. I hope nothing happens on Emilia's side..."

As Natsuki Subaru was speaking, a sound of footsteps ca from nearby.

Natsuki Subaru imdiately looked over warily, but Yuji Itadori already knew the identity of the newcor.

"Lord Itadori, it's been a long ti~"

Along with the sound of high heels clicking on the ground, that familiar and ambiguously flirtatious female voice rang out.

The Bowel Hunter, Elsa, appeared before them.

"I heard the commotion on your side from quite far away."

Elsa turned her head to look at the side.

The forest that had been neatly severed, and the hill that had been split in two.

A aningful expression appeared on her face:

"It's a pity I wasn't able to see it with my own eyes. If I could have seen it, it would surely have been wonderful."

"Elsa, have there been any abnormalities around here lately?" Yuji Itadori asked.

Last ti, he had reached an agreent with Elsa. In exchange for ili's safety, Elsa could no longer kill at will and had to protect the safety of Natsuki Subaru and the others.

Therefore, during this period, Elsa had been monitoring the area near Roswaal's Mansion.

"There have been, indeed. Recently, many uninvited guests have sward into the forest without anyone noticing~ However, because of Lord Itadori's orders, I didn't take the initiative to act."

The smile on Elsa's face gained a hint of impatient anticipation.

"Is it the Witch Cult?" Yuji Itadori asked.

"Exactly. I noticed their tracks earlier, so I followed them. Just now, I happened to find their base, but I didn't have ti to notify the Mansion before I heard the commotion and rushed over."

"I understand."

Yuji Itadori nodded and handed the unconscious Louis to Natsuki Subaru.

"Subaru, you and Rem head back to the Mansion imdiately to ensure Emilia's safety."

He then projected his gaze onto Elsa.

"Elsa and I will go clear out the remnants of the Witch Cult."
