Isekai Adventure in the Dimensional Cube-Chapter 1377 - 974: The True Mastermind Behind the Scenes (2)
Otherwise, when hearing the news that Geto Suguru was alive, Gojo Satoru’s reaction wouldn’t be so intense, even causing him to disappear and search the world for Geto Suguru.
This proves that Geto Suguru was indeed killed.
However, it’s also a fact that he has reappeared now.
Reiger guessed whether the other party used some method to fake death in front of Gojo Satoru, or due to some factors was resurrected.
But now it seems, Geto Suguru indeed died in the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons incident, and the current Geto Suguru is just a fake, someone has occupied Geto Suguru’s body, using his body and identity to move about.
And this person is Knot as mentioned by Druf and Uro Hancok, an ancient Curse Master who has existed for ages, reaching modern times by constantly replacing bodies.
It was he who planned everything, including the Shibuya Incident and Destruction Revisit, and was active throughout history, making contracts with ancient sorcerers resurrected in modern times, creating the present situation.
"Does Gojo know about this?"
Reiger’s frown deepened, then he shook his head.
"Forget it, it’s not important."
Since he was sealed, it doesn’t matter whether Gojo Satoru knows that Geto Suguru is a fake now.
The important thing is...
"What exactly is his purpose for doing all this?"
Reiger began to ponder this point.
If the initiator of all this was Geto Suguru, then Reiger would naturally feel that the reason he did all this was to kill all non-sorcerers and create a world only for sorcerers.
This is also Geto Suguru’s ideology, not a secret, almost all sorcerers aware of Geto Suguru’s existence know this, and therefore many share the same thoughts as Reiger.
However, if the current Geto Suguru isn’t himself but a fake, then one must consider the purpose behind this.
"Is it related to Tengen?"
Geto Suguru... no, it should be called Knot instead.
Before hosting Destruction Revisit, Knot also aggressively attacked the Jujutsu High, abducting Tengen hiding underground.
There must be a reason for doing so.
Intuition tells Reiger that Knot’s ultimate goal may require the help of this special existence, Tengen, to achieve.
"He also abducted Fushiguro, attacked Itadori, and once awakened Ryomensukuna..."
What is the purpose behind these actions?
Reiger suddenly felt there are many mysteries behind everything.
Until now, what they saw is simply superficial illusion, with the real darkness hidden deeper, unnoticed.
"Do you know the real purpose of Knot? Does he have any subsequent plans?"
Reiger continued to question Druf and Uro Hancok.
Unfortunately, both shook their heads.
"I have never figured out what he wants to do, or perhaps I haven’t cared?" Druf said indifferently: "That guy is like ink served inappropriately at the dining table, pitch-black and murky, even if I’m starving, I don’t want to touch it."
Druf only seeks satisfaction, for which he accepted Knot’s proposal to be resurrected in the distant future.
As for Knot’s own purpose, Druf doesn’t know and doesn’t care.
Anyway, as long as he can feel satisfied after resurrection, that’s enough.
The rest are side issues, never concerned him.
Uro Hancok seems to be the same.
"That guy is very suspicious, his whole being exudes pure malice." Uro Hancok said coldly: "However, in my era, there were many like him, even true catastrophic disasters."
"Compared to that, he’s just someone who doesn’t dare to show himself, a dark character afraid of sneaky, shameful actions."
"I have no interest in what such a guy wants to do."
At least, Uro Hancok was like this during her lifetime.
As for now, due to relevant circumstances, Uro Hancok wants to explore, but the existence of Destruction Revisit forces her to save enough game points for future matters.
Only in this way can one hold the initiative in the game and gain advantage when Knot’s plan is revealed.
This is the common consciousness of all resurrected Poets.
Before this, what Knot himself intends doesn’t need to be discussed for now.
"Disaster, huh?" Reiger glanced at Uro Hancok, saying: "Could you be talking about Ryomensukuna?"
"...Other than that terrifying guy, who else?" Uro Hancok was silent for a while, then replied: "Seems like you also know about that disaster."
"Just heard rumors." Reiger said calmly: "Rumors did mention how terrifying that guy was, but after all, that’s something from a thousand years ago, no one really feels it."
"Only those like you, from the same era as Ryomensukuna, would know how terrifying he was."
Reiger’s words were acknowledged by Uro Hancok.
How could others possibly understand the terror of that monster?
Some regarded him as a Curse, some a demon god, but those who lived in that era without exception, saw him as a natural disaster.
"...Has he also been resurrected?"
When saying this, Uro Hancok’s voice had a slight tremor.
This side of her surprised Reiger a bit.
"You fear him greatly?"
Reiger directly said.
To this, Uro Hancok responded with a question instead.
"Has he been resurrected?"
Upon hearing this, Reiger looked deeply at Uro Hancok.
"He indeed has been resurrected." Reiger said indifferently amidst Uro Hancok’s sudden change of expression: "Although in an incomplete state, he once appeared in Shibuya and was defeated."
Upon these words, Uro Hancok immediately spoke.
"Impossible!"
She directly exclaimed.
"How could Ryomensukuna be defeated?"
That was a monster against which the Sun and Moon Star Vanguard and Five Void Generals dispatched the entire army, only to be completely annihilated.
In the heyday of Jujutsu during the Heian era, none could rival this true monster, personified disaster, how could it be defeated?
Even in an incomplete state, it’s impossible!
"It’s a fact, if you don’t believe me, verify it yourself."
Reiger ignored Uro Hancok, tossing out this statement then pondering once more.
He was thinking...
"Since sorcerers from various eras made contracts with Knot, agreeing to be resurrected in modern times, then what about Ryomensukuna?"
Ryomensukuna is also an ancient sorcerer resurrected in modern times, right?
Though his resurrection was entirely due to Itadori Yuji voluntarily swallowing his finger, not led by Knot like others, yet Reiger feels that his timely resurrection in this era may very well not be coincidental.
"Seems like there’s a need to expedite progress."
Reiger inexplicably felt some urgency.
"Want to kill them?"
Reiger turned his gaze to Druf and Uro Hancok.
If he kills these two, he would immediately earn 10 points.
Before this, Reiger had earned 30 points, having killed Druf and Kuroki Mu Shi consecutively, gaining 10 points altogether, now totaling 40 points.
If he further kills Druf and Uro Hancok, plus 10 points, reaching 50 points, he’s halfway to the target score of 100 points.
"Ring—Ring—Ring—"
Just when Reiger was considering, a strange sound rang out.
"A Poet has added a rule to Destruction Revisit!"
"A Poet has added a rule to Destruction Revisit!"
"A Poet has added a rule to Destruction Revisit!"
Little Gold emerged from beside, appearing simultaneously with Reiger, Druf, and Uro Hancok, three of them.
"Destruction Revisit Rule 12: Poets can transfer any points to other Poets!"
"This rule takes effect immediately!"
