Isekai Adventure in the Dimensional Cube-Chapter 1384 - 979: Baptism_2

In this way, it can be considered a true revival.

Now, everything is ready.

The vessel I desire is right in front of me, and its consciousness has almost completely sunk, plus its nature is beginning to infinitely approach the realm of "demon"...

If I don’t take action now, then when?

"Swoosh!" 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

In an instant, Sukuna leapt forward, darting into the black pool.

Li Mei raised her head, watching this scene, a faint look of expectation in her eyes.

Sukuna swiftly grasped Fushiguro Megumi.

"Become my shadow, Fushiguro."

Sukuna sneered viciously, yet his soul, accompanied by an extremely large amount of cursed energy, rapidly gathered onto a single finger.

"Splurt!"

Without any hesitation, Sukuna pulled out this finger, causing blood to splatter.

Immediately, Sukuna inserted this finger, which held all his current soul and power, into Fushiguro Megumi’s mouth.

"————"

Time seemed to freeze in this moment.

"Sss..."

In a faint hiss, the ominous black lines on Itadori Yuji’s body began to fade, and the second pair of eyes under his eyes also gradually disappeared.

In contrast, on Fushiguro Megumi, ominous black lines appeared just like on Itadori Yuji before, and a second pair of eyes appeared under his eyes.

"Ha..."

After a moment, an evil laugh emerged from Fushiguro Megumi’s mouth.

"Hahaha!"

Accompanied by a burst of laughter, the body with the sunken consciousness finally opened its eyes after a long absence.

However, the one controlling this body was no longer Fushiguro Megumi.

Ryomensukuna was thus resurrected in Fushiguro Megumi’s body.

"Bang!"

A heavy punch landed on Itadori Yuji, sending him flying.

Unconscious, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, Itadori Yuji crashed into the black pool, gradually sinking to the bottom amidst massive water splashes.

"Very good." Sukuna spread his arms, feeling the new body, and said with great satisfaction, "This is the feeling of truly being alive."

"Welcome back officially, Lord Sukuna."

Li Mei, holding clothes, stood by the pool, bowing to Sukuna in celebration.

Only then did Sukuna walk out of the black pool, took the clothes from Li Mei’s hands, and put them on.

"Lord Sukuna."

At this moment, Li Mei approached Sukuna with a tray.

On this tray, there were five fingers resembling dead wax.

Undoubtedly, these were the five missing fingers of Ryomensukuna, the final five fingers.

"Oh?" Sukuna said with some surprise, "You’ve already gathered them all?"

"Originally, I had only gathered four, but the last one could not be found no matter what." Li Mei reported truthfully, "It was Knot who retrieved the last finger. Otherwise, Lord Sukuna might not have been able to return to complete form."

"You can’t be blamed for this." Sukuna touched his chin, smiling, "The last finger should have been hidden by Gojo Satoru, that’s why you couldn’t find it."

When Itadori Yuji was sentenced to secret execution, Gojo Satoru obtained a way for him to survive by convincing the high-level officials of the world of sorcery to delay the execution until Itadori Yuji had consumed the remaining fingers.

Because Ryomensukuna’s fingers are all special-grade cursed objects with indestructible qualities, over the millennia, their existence has caused much trouble for the world of sorcery, resulting in numerous disasters.

The world of sorcery has long struggled with how to dispose of these cursed objects, and Gojo Satoru seized on this point, proposing that Itadori Yuji consume the fingers, digest their power, and then be executed.

In this way, those fingers will disappear along with Itadori Yuji’s death.

However, Gojo Satoru naturally does not wish for Itadori Yuji to die.

Understanding this, Sukuna speculates that Gojo Satoru might have secretly kept a finger for himself, ensuring that Itadori Yuji couldn’t gather all twenty fingers, thus giving the sorcery headquarters a reason to execute him.

Furthermore, if Itadori Yuji swallows nineteen fingers and can no longer suppress Sukuna within, this tactic can still ensure Sukuna cannot regain his full power state.

Indeed, this plan is well thought out.

Unfortunately, Gojo Satoru doesn’t know that secretly there is a Knot always watching him, plotting from start to finish to stab him in the back and seal him.

Especially after Reiger appeared, Knot became even more determined to seal Gojo Satoru, intending first to deal with an ultra-strong force that could influence his plan, then have multiple Ryomensukuna deal with the more mysterious and harder-to-target Reiger.

Thus, by using his knowledge of Gojo Satoru’s activities, Knot put in great effort and eventually found the finger deliberately hidden by Gojo Satoru.

Li Mei found four fingers, Knot uncovered the one hidden by Gojo Satoru, plus the fifteen Sukuna absorbed beforehand...

All twenty fingers, gathered together.

"Gulp..."

With the sound of swallowing, the five fingers on the tray entered Sukuna’s belly one by one.

"It’s time to go."

Sukuna spoke calmly.

"Yes." Li Mei agreed without hesitation, asking, "May I ask which side to head to first?"

"Of course, the kid’s side." Sukuna initially said without thinking, then shifted his words, saying, "I’d very much like to, but..."

Sukuna shifted his gaze, looking towards a direction.

That’s where the Xiantai Barrier is located.

...

Knot must admit, he made a miscalculation.

Even though he no longer underestimated this [Heaven and Curse Binding] counterexample before him, when the true decisive battle came, Knot discovered a shocking fact.

That is, even when facing Knot in battle, this foreign swordsman whom Knot viewed as a primitive monkey still hadn’t gone all out.

Until this moment, until knowing all of Knot’s plans and purposes, the opponent finally got serious.

Seriously... wanting to kill Knot.

"Boom!"

The blaze exploded like a firecracker under the sound of a giant explosion, bursting forth beneath the feet of the sword-wielding swordsman.

The foreign swordsman wrapped in flames transformed directly into a dazzling bolt of fire at the moment the blaze erupted under his feet, shooting violently towards Knot with an incredible speed.

"Splash!"

Knot wanted to act, wanted to use his technique to block the opponent’s slash, but his reaction simply couldn’t keep up with that brilliant fire bolt nor the stunning slash; before he could raise his hand, a burst of blood emerged, and he was slashed fiercely.

"Boom——Boom——Boom——Boom——"

The firebolt darted around Knot like a red lightning bolt, flashing and darting back and forth; every time the explosive sound rang out, flames burst under the opponent’s feet, prompting changes in direction and accelerating.

At first glance, Knot seemed to be surrounded by a burst of scorching flames, as the blade light entwined with flames slashed occasionally, moving so fast that Knot became a helpless target, repeatedly injured and struck.

"[Round Dance Flash]."

The lightning-fast slash that merges the explosive power and speed of Thunder Breathing into the Sun Breathing was unleashed at this moment, wielded by Reiger.

Knot will probably never forget, the scene when he made his declaration and Reiger suddenly launched an attack.

That dazzling bolt of fire blossomed before Knot’s eyes in just 0.01 seconds, followed immediately by the blazing slash directly severing Knot’s neck.

If it weren’t for the crisis instinct that exploded in his heart at the critical moment, prompting Knot to activate the [Anti-gravity Mechanism] technique, transforming the surrounding area into a hypergravity field that altered the trajectory of the lightning-fast slash by several inches, Knot would have lost his head and been instantly killed on the spot.

Death at that moment was so near, so vivid, that Knot dared not dismiss the [Anti-gravity Mechanism] technique.

Not knowing that Luohu was instantly killed by the same move, Knot now only has one thought in his mind.

"The joke... went too far."

Cold sweat streamed down his forehead uncontrollably.
