King of Curses: Satoru Gojo (4K Third Update, 10,000 Words Posted, Please Subscribe)

You activated a Scarlet Drop Card.

Drop activation in progress…

Calculating target’s kill points. Target kill points: 24. Rewards increased.

Calculating your kill points…

Ex051 possesses Karma Points. You will receive 1 additional reward selection.

Calculation complete. For this activation, you may select 2 of the following rewards.

A: 70% of their Dimensional Points.

B: 4 items from their Backpack.

C: Gain an additional 10% of their primary attribute, added to your own attributes.

D: Randomly draw 1 specialty, retaining up to Lv5.

E: Randomly obtain 1 ability, retaining up to Lv3.

F: 5% chance to extract a Bloodline Item, with no restrictions on bloodline optimization.

Bai Cangshu crushed the werewolf’s Scarlet Drop Card. To his surprise, the opponent’s kill points were not as high as he had imagined.

But on second thought, it was understandable. This werewolf did not specialize in hunting newcomers like Evans did. He had likely only encountered other teams in Team Competition mode.

If the gap in strength between Reincarnator teams was not too great, they would not recklessly choose a team battle. Both sides would try to negotiate, avoid the conflicting portions of the Main Mission, and let both teams finish with roughly the same level of completion.

No matter how good the mission rewards were, you still had to be alive to claim them.

The ecology of Reincarnators was much like the animal kingdom in a primeval jungle. Even if you were a predator, you would not risk being injured or killed to hunt prey capable of putting up considerable resistance.

The reason Fifth Element had begun hunting Bai Cangshu and the others without saying a word in this world was, Bai Cangshu guessed, because their attempt to make contact after appearing had been spotted by a scout gliding through the air.

That led them to conclude that these people were either weak teams or lone Reincarnators incapable of fighting back.

After Fifth Element launched the signal flare, the group’s flight only confirmed that judgment, and Fifth Element immediately began the hunt.

Tch. Bai Cangshu felt that he had gained quite a bit more understanding of Reincarnators. Like a young male lion that had just arrived on the African savanna, he was slowly absorbing these hunting experiences.

Among the options offered by the Scarlet Drop this time was an additional choice to extract a Bloodline Item. Bai Cangshu was unsure whether it had appeared because the opponent possessed a bloodline ability, or because his own Karma Points had increased by two while the opponent’s kill points were also fairly high.

Of these options, Bai Cangshu still chose C first. For him, when he could not confirm what Special Items or abilities the other party possessed, attribute points were an option that could never be a loss.

Besides, this werewolf’s attributes had clearly already surpassed the limit.

As for the other choice, Bai Cangshu had never seen the werewolf use any items during the battle. He guessed the man probably had no stockpile, or that everything he owned was equipped on his body, but there was too much uncertainty. Dimensional Points were useless to him.

"Choose C and F."

Bai Cangshu decided to test that 5% chance.

You selected C. Drawing…

Your Strength attribute +2. Current: 17 (15+2).

You selected F. Drawing…

Extracting Bloodline Item. Extraction… successful.

You obtained the Bloodline Item: Werewolf (Rare).

Bai Cangshu raised an eyebrow. He had not expected even a 5% chance to succeed. Perhaps this is the "first draw protection" mechanic?

At the same time, every muscle in his body, including his bones, felt reinforced once more. He clenched his fist, and the increase in his strength was quite obvious.

He felt that, with the proper exertion of force, he could now throw a heavy punch weighing two tons.

But this also verified from another angle that the werewolf’s Strength attribute had indeed exceeded 20, crossing the limit.

Thinking of the moment their fists had collided, when he had been sent flying with almost no ability to resist, perhaps attribute increases after crossing the limit were even more terrifying than he had imagined.

Bai Cangshu crushed the other Scarlet Drop Card.

You activated a Scarlet Drop Card.

Drop activation in progress…

Calculating target’s kill points. Target kill points: 17. Rewards increased.

Calculating your kill points…

Ex051 possesses Karma Points. You will receive 1 additional reward selection.

Calculation complete. For this activation, you may select 2 of the following rewards.

A: 60% of their Dimensional Points.

B: 4 items from their Backpack.

C: Gain an additional 10% of their primary attribute, added to your own attributes.

D: Randomly draw 1 specialty, retaining up to Lv4.

E: Randomly obtain 1 ability, retaining up to Lv2.

"Choose C and B."

The woman’s battle with Bai Cangshu had been brief. The only things that had left a deep impression on him were her composure and that special item capable of teleportation.

You selected C. Drawing… drawing anomaly. Target attributes are balanced. A random attribute will be drawn.

Your Mental Power attribute +1. Current: 15 (14+1).

Bai Cangshu clicked his tongue inwardly. He had not expected that woman to be like him, a Reincarnator with balanced attributes.

You selected B. Drawing…

You obtained item: Quality Tobacco Leaf (White).

You obtained item: 7.62mm Bullets x60 (White).

You obtained item: Handmade Doll.

You obtained item: Handmade Doll.

Bai Cangshu looked down and saw that the two so-called handmade dolls were nothing more than crudely pieced-together scraps of cloth and straw.

"This woman… ha, interesting."

Bai Cangshu knew he had been played, but his estimation of the woman rose once again.

Unlike that werewolf who possessed nothing but a bloodline, she was a far more qualified Reincarnator. She had actually anticipated the possibility of her own death and stuffed her Backpack with a large number of useless items to reduce the chance of an enemy who killed her drawing one of her rare items.

Bai Cangshu tossed the dolls aside and walked straight into the pitch-black barrier.

Following the passage Suguru Geto and the others had cleared, along with the continuous explosions resounding within the barrier, he had roughly figured out the situation between the two sides.

Bai Cangshu moved extremely fast. Unlike those hesitant Jujutsu Sorcerers, who feared the unknown curse and the terrifying enemy that had caused even Satoru Gojo to perish, Bai Cangshu was utterly certain of his own conjecture.

There was no unknown curse at all. The formidable enemy that had indirectly caused Satoru Gojo’s death should also be trapped at this moment.

Right now was precisely the least dangerous moment within this barrier.

A short while later, Bai Cangshu used his own blood to finish drawing on a skeleton. When he turned back, he saw the terrifying Hadouken erupt.

After approaching, he first saw an enormous White Crow Sword Qi strike Satoru Gojo’s corpse without accomplishing anything. Then he noticed the hooded woman patting Satoru Gojo’s corpse, trying to awaken him ahead of time.

A gigantic fox over several hundred meters long suddenly appeared out of thin air. With a single bite, it swallowed Satoru Gojo, who had just opened his eyes in midair, along with White Face, who had just turned around.

Terrifying spiritual power swept across the entire field.

Suguru Geto, Shoko Ieiri, Kai, and the others were all stunned.

This massive fox’s aura was nothing like that of a Cursed Spirit, nor was it like the Possessed Spirit White Face had summoned by burning Shamanic Power.

Huge eyes covered the fox’s entire body. The pupils within those eyes were spiraled, displaying an eerie beauty.

Seeing that his Main Mission had not yet failed, Bai Cangshu knew that the King of Curses had not fully revived.

You attacked Reincarnator DM66616387. Based on the difference in your Mental Power, you obtained relevant information.

Your attack did not affect Reincarnator DM66616387.

The combat notification made Bai Cangshu even more certain that the other party was currently in an extremely special state.

His attack had not failed to inflict damage because the opponent had blocked it. It simply could not affect them.

This was Inari Ōkami’s Strike. Compared to the Limitless Cursed Technique of Cursed Spirit Satoru Gojo, Bai Cangshu was more inclined to believe that the opponent was still in the middle of the ritual.

"Kai, you are becoming more and more useless. You actually failed to clear away these irrelevant people?"

White Face’s voice still emerged clearly from inside the fox’s body.

As though enraged, the sinister fox suddenly released terrifying spiritual power from its entire body.

Buzz—

Intense red light erupted from within the fox. In the next moment, cracks began appearing across the black barrier.

The upper limit of Secret Rite: Inari God’s Strike far exceeded Bai Cangshu’s expectations.

Suguru Geto was now fully prepared as well. Intense cursed energy surged up in an instant.

He did not use Domain Expansion. Instead, countless Cursed Spirits lunged out almost simultaneously, spreading in all directions and covering every ritual node within the barrier that he had calculated.

"Next, I will gather the cursed energy of over two thousand Cursed Spirits and unleash a full-power strike."

Suguru Geto calmly stated his intentions.

This was also a form of Jujutsu Kaisen, known as a Binding Vow. By imposing unfavorable conditions on oneself in various ways, one could enhance the power of one’s technique.

By voluntarily explaining the intent behind his attack, Suguru Geto would put the opponent on guard. That was an unfavorable condition, and through this method, he also strengthened his cursed energy.

Powerful cursed energy began spreading in spirals.

Thump!

The violent heartbeat rang out again.

This time, the disturbance was incomparably immense.

Yellow liquid suddenly began flowing from the giant fox’s seven orifices before it exploded with a bang.

A sharp pain stabbed the back of Bai Cangshu’s hand, and the cursed mark immediately dimmed.

The cursed mark has been eroded by the Yellow Springs and is now unusable.

"Hahaha… Hahahaha!"

Wild laughter rang out. Blue-white cursed energy first soared into the sky as Satoru Gojo stood upright, his severed limbs hanging naturally at his sides. The chains linked to his limbs had been completely cut apart.

Behind Satoru Gojo, an invisible gate was slowly pushed open. Amid White Face’s maniacal laughter, she regained the ability to move as well.

With a wave of her hand, Azure Flames appeared beneath her.

"Satoru Gojo, in the end, you still could not stop the Gate of Yellow Springs from opening."

A huge, muddy yellow river poured down from behind Satoru Gojo. Countless Grudge Spirit auras emerged from it, and the temperature began plunging rapidly.

Having regained her mobility, White Face immediately pointed at Kai and Old Ghost.

The Fox Fire opened its mouth and spewed Azure Flames.

The two vanished instantly.

Yet Suguru Geto and Bai Cangshu did not move, allowing the icy river of the dead to flood over their ankles.

"Shoko, could I ask you to take everyone and leave this place first?"

Suguru Geto pressed his palms together before his chest. Terrifying cursed energy whipped up a violent gale around him, and the Special Grade Cursed Spirit: Tamamo-no-Mae had already merged into the vortex behind him.

At every moment, a vast number of Cursed Spirits were being devoured. The intensity of his cursed energy had reached an inconceivable level.

Shoko Ieiri looked at Satoru Gojo in the sky. His eyes were open, but no longer held blue skies and white clouds. Instead, they had become a sea of crimson. At last, she gave up hope.

"What difference does it make whether we leave now or not?"

She pulled out a pack of cigarettes, intending to light one.

Bang!

A tremendous force struck. With a single blow, Bai Cangshu sent the woman flying. She looked calm on the surface, but inwardly, she had already sunk into despairing pessimism.

Had Shoko Ieiri not possessed the Reverse Cursed Technique, that single blow would likely have killed her outright.

She flew nearly a hundred meters through the air.

Only then did Bai Cangshu say,

"Satoru Gojo died, and the world is over?"

"This guy babbles on and on, and you think that means he has already won?!"

An absurd, mocking smile appeared on his face as he exchanged a glance with Suguru Geto.

"You do not think so either, do you, Suguru Geto?"

Suguru Geto’s expression calmed.

"Of course not. After all, the Savior of this world is me now."

With a playful smile, Suguru Geto spread his hands.

"Cursed Spirit Manipulation: Maximum Technique: Uzumaki!"

Terrifying ripples blasted open the surrounding darkness, revealing Tokyo once more.

White Face turned leisurely in midair. Seeing through Suguru Geto’s intentions, she sneered.

He had pretended to use a Binding Vow to strengthen his technique, but he was actually lying to conceal his true purpose. Suguru Geto did not intend to attack her at all. Rather, he wanted to destroy the ritual.

How could she possibly let him succeed?

Once the ritual had begun, it could not be stopped without so many Tsuchimikado Clan bloodlines.

That was why he had brought nearly all members of the Tsuchimikado Clan into the barrier.

He had long since eliminated the possibility of the ritual being stopped.

Boom!

Suguru Geto’s cursed energy erupted completely. The powerful recoil nearly blew him away, but Suguru Geto still gripped the "cursed energy cannon" and swept it violently across the area.

Countless Cursed Spirits and Grudge Spirits vanished into smoke in an instant.

Amid White Face’s sneer, a flame of Fox Fire ignited beneath Satoru Gojo’s corpse.

The next moment.

"Moo!"

Satoru Gojo opened his mouth and let out a monster’s roar.

Ring after ring of invisible ripples spread outward from Satoru Gojo. The Grudge Spirits touched by those ripples were almost instantly killed.

Main Mission Phase Two: Stop the King of Curses’ revival, has failed.

Main Mission Phase Three forcibly activated: End the King of Curses, Satoru Gojo.

Crimson cursed energy erupted from Satoru Gojo’s body, instantly healing his severed limbs. At the same time, densely packed eyes began opening across his hands. Every one of them was a Six Eyes, with blue skies and white clouds flowing within its pupils.

But only moments later, the blue skies and white clouds were drowned by crimson cursed energy.

The King of Curses had fully revived.

White Face laughed maniacally in the sky. Fox Fire engulfed the swordsman Old Ghost, while Kai’s desperate roar accompanied the determined eruption of Hadouken.

Bai Cangshu took it all in, but an eerie smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Alone, he formed a hand seal and used blood to draw markings on his other hand.

"Mount Tai Imperial Lord Ritual, activate!"
