"A new rule has been added to Destruction Revisit by a Poet!"
"Destruction Revisit Rule No. 14: Poets can freely enter and exit barriers!"
"The above rule takes effect imdiately!"
This rule was added when Knot rushed to the Xiantai Barrier, and Li i rushed to the Tokyo First Barrier, preparing to bring Itadori Yuji out from the Tokyo First Barrier.
The pursuer of this rule was none other than Li i.
To replace Sukuna’s vessel, Li i started acting early in Destruction Revisit, killing many poets and non-poets, accumulating many ga points.
Reiger had always thought Druf was the person closest to 100 points in the ga among the ten barriers of Destruction Revisit, but in reality, Li i’s points surpassed Druf.
When Reiger entered the Xiantai Barrier, Li i’s ga points had already reached 95, just one more Sorcerer-type poet needed to reach the points required to add a rule.
Thus, when Knot rushed to the Xiantai Barrier, Li i first killed a Sorcerer-type poet, gathered the points, and then attacked Itadori Yuji located in the Tokyo First Barrier. To bring him out of the Tokyo First Barrier, the rule allowing free entry and exit from barriers was added.
Therefore, when Reiger and Knot initially confronted each other, the ten barriers of Destruction Revisit were already freely accessible.
At this mont, after completing the "Ritual Bath," Sukuna erged with Li i in the Xiantai Barrier.
"What happened to you?"
Li i followed closely behind Sukuna, holding Knot’s head, speaking disdainfully.
"...Clearly, I miscalculated."
Knot was silent for a mont, then let out a bitter laugh.
The two talked confidently behind Sukuna, completely ignoring Reiger standing opposite Sukuna.
Apparently, in their eyes, once Sukuna appeared here, everything could be declared over.
Reiger could understand their thoughts.
Because even for him, seeing Ryonsukuna now, there was an intuition not to ignore his presence and continue confronting Knot.
The Ryonsukuna in front of him seed like a completely different entity compared to the last ti.
During their confrontation in Shibuya last ti, Sukuna was certainly an entity with an ominous aura and a terrifying oppressive presence, but compared to today’s Ryonsukuna, he seed like a small fry facing a big shot.
Of course, that’s secondary.
What struck Reiger the most was Sukuna’s appearance at the mont.
The appearance was no longer Itadori Yuji’s, but Fushiguro gumi’s.
The body was covered with sinister black patterns, the second pair of eyes under the corners, a wicked and fierce atmosphere...all these clearly indicated to Reiger that the entity was Ryonsukuna.
But that body was no longer Itadori Yuji’s.
"...I see."
In that instant, Reiger finally understood.
"They kidnapped Fushiguro gumi to allow you to possess Fushiguro gumi’s body, to transfer to a new vessel, didn’t they?"
Facing Ryonsukuna, exuding a highly malicious aura, Reiger did not show the grave or panicked expression Knot and Li i imagined, but remained as calm and indifferent as ever.
"Indeed." Sukuna raised an eyebrow, looking at the tranquil Reiger, laughed while stroking his chin as if showcasing a masterpiece, said: "Compared to that annoying brat, this body is much more pleasing to the eye, isn’t it?"
"Just pleasing to the eye?" Reiger retorted sarcastically: "Isn’t it because you couldn’t control Itadori’s body, forcing you to transfer into Fushiguro’s vessel, which is easier to dominate?"
"Not entirely because of that." Sukuna seed unperturbed by Reiger’s sarcastic tone and chuckled with apparent satisfaction, saying, "Mainly this brat’s body holds an intriguing value for ."
Though it sounded disturbing, Reiger understood Sukuna’s aning.
"[Shadow Techniques]..."
This whispered sentence did not elicit further response from Sukuna.
"So, youngster, who exactly are you?"
Sukuna carefully examined Reiger, coldly smiling.
"A reverse case of [Heaven and Curse Binding]? It seems that’s not entirely the case."
Once viewed as a catastrophic existence during the peak of the spell era in the Heian period, Sukuna sensed an anomaly in Reiger with an almost intuitive inspiration.
He failed to detect Reiger’s disguise or reveal Reiger’s true identity, but sohow felt sothing amiss with this foreign swordsman.
If not for this, with his deanor, he wouldn’t speak so much with a seemingly irrelevant character.
Mostly, Sukuna was sowhat puzzled, finding this person strangely familiar.
Unfortunately, Ailomadi’s disguise was flawless, and the effect of the enclosed world silencing spell power and fighting spirit was perfect, even Sukuna couldn’t pierce through this dual disguise.
Reiger also wouldn’t reveal his true form within the barriers of Destruction Revisit, thus not responding to Sukuna’s inquiry.
Li i, holding Knot’s head, was angered first by Reiger’s indifferent attitude, regardless of Sukuna.
"Lord Sukuna is speaking to you, didn’t you hear him?"
Saying this, Li i clasped her hand seals, and without further ado, launched a technique at Reiger.
"Whish——"
A gust of icy wind suddenly appeared like a bursting flood, freezing the atmosphere.
