Bab 9: And you will all surrender to them
"This is all." He nodded his head, looking at the hill of weapons, dishes, and all sorts of stuff.
With a slight wave of his hand, all of them vanished within a thin air leaving nothing but his usual bedroom, gaining a nod from him.
"It feels great to have inventory."
Of course, he was preparing for his other world trip. For starters, he packed a lot and a LOT of food. Why? Because he wanted to…
Second, he picked up all the swords he had stocked up till now, all from Kiba. Meaning, each and every sword had some form of supernatural side to it—all these swords were what he collected this year after each dual with Kiba.
'He was nice enough to give them to me.'
"My opponent is Toji Fushiguro, someone who defeated Gojo Satoru in a duel. Though I can defeat the current Gojo with the element of surprise, Toji is a different thing."
The current Gojo could be compared to Kuzan who trusted his abilities way too much, ending up becoming overconfident in his powers.
He had so much trust in his ability to bring Infinity into reality, which in return ended up almost killing him at the hands of Toji who had Inverted Spear of Heaven.
To Noah, current Gojo was not a threat. With a little element of surprise, he had full confidence in killing him in one stroke. Of course, he wasn't talking about a prolonged fight. Since his defeat would be certain in that condition.
"Afraid not of those who have practiced thousands of sword arts, but of one who practiced one sword a thousand times or something along with that level of shit."
Toji was born with Heavenly Restriction, someone with an inhumane physique but zero cursed energy, and he became strongest based solely on his efforts alone. Such a person was many times more dangerous than someone who became strong because they were born with a golden spoon.
'Isn't that me theoretically…'
Finishing his planning, Noah silently stood alone in his room before suddenly it hit him.
"How the fuck do I even jump a world?"
|—Space between Worlds—|
[A/N: Heavenly Restriction is a Binding Contract between an individual and the world itself, that's why Heavenly. In JJK, such contracts were imposed before the person is even born, without their consent]
[As the host do not possess any cursed energy, the world of Jujutsu Kaisen wants to impose Heavenly Restriction on Host's entry]
[Host can choose any of the two following conditions for the Binding Contract (Heavenly Restriction)]
[First Condition: Host can change his Mana into Cursed Energy, in return he will lose access to the ability to wield magic and will solely depend on Curse Techniques. Host's physique will be changed into Cursed Physique which will allow Host to learn any and all Cursed Techniques]
[Second Condition: Host will never have access to Negative Energy, in return of Heavenly Physique which will give Host inhuman strength, durability, and such]
[Note: Negative Energy includes all forms of energies that are born of negativity, such as Demonic Power, Chakra (It includes negative elements), and so on. Host can still learn techniques of each energy department, but they will be dependent on Host's Mana]
A void filled with uncountable beautiful small specks—white specks as they shone brightly in the dark. Each holding onto the other, existing in peace and harmony.
If one looked closer, then they would find that each speck had different ruins floating around them, each different from others. The only thing common among them was how they revolved with the same rhythmic manner around the white specks.
Just like in front of such a speck, a humanoid whitish silhouette stood while curiously staring at the endless numbers of white dots on the horizon.
"It's like stargazing while standing in the center of the universe, how bizarre." He softly muttered? No. He didn't have any mouth, making him stare at his body.
"Why not golden…?" He said before looking back at the screen floating in front of him. "Now what to do… what to do…"
The first condition was tempting, to say the least. Domain Expansion in Jujutsu Kaisen was like Noble Phantasm in Fate—the ultimate move of any sorcerer, at least for the current era of sorcerers.
There were many Cursed Techniques too that entered the boundary of True Magic while some Domains easily stood equally with True Magic, like Gojo's Domain that sent the person in the center of the universe.
Noah wondered what would happen if Gojo used it in Nasuverse, would he enter Root directly? That was worth trying.
Getting a physique that allowed him to learn all those techniques was tempting. It was like a devil's whisper, softly calling for him to accept it.
"No matter how tempting, I still will have to learn them."
That was the problem. The condition specified that the physique will only allow him to learn the techniques but not have them from the start, like his YGGDRASIL Magecraft System that had all forms of magic from YGGDRASIL compiled into a system for him to use.
He only needed to utter a word, and the magic would activate.
If the condition compiled all existing techniques and even the techniques that will appear in the future into a system like YGGDRASIL Magecraft System, Noah wouldn't think twice about getting the physique.
After all, YGGDRASIL Magecraft System was OP for sure, but it wasn't as versatile as the Cursed Techniques in Jujutsu Kaisen World.
"With the first condition out of order, I'll choose the second condition then."
He had magic, now if he had an inhuman physique too, he would be really a great powerhouse in the future.
'And not like I have any other options available here except for one and two.'
[The Second Condition has been added to the contract. Host is now under Heavenly Restriction]
The white speck that was floating before him shone, from which a rune flew out before entering his chest.
Noah felt something locking and sealed in his body, making him realize that the use of Negative Energy should have been banned for him.
'I don't feel all that different…' He clenched his fist and said, but he could also feel that his physique was slowly changing into a higher realm.
It was not an instantaneous change but his physique changed slowly to adapt to new strength. A sudden change might end up exploding his body after all.
After checking his body, which he could still feel strangely enough despite being nothing but a whitish something, Noah looked back at the white speck before softly smiling.
"Time to enter the new world then."
|—Jujutsu Kaisen World, The Place Where Tengen Lives—|
It was a normal day for him, standing in his place maintaining the barriers all around Japan to save it from the curses. That was his job, and it has not changed for thousands of years.
Being the best barrier master, it was his job to do so.
Immortality — a Jujutsu Technique that grants its user immortality, eternal life, however it doesn't stop the aging process. This was Tengen's technique.
Though he doesn't have any problem with aging, he must reset his body after every five hundred years by merging with a specific human being in order to prevent the technique from causing him to evolve past humanity and into a potentially dangerous state.
And now it has already been five hundred years, the time to merge with the Star Plasma Vessel was near.
Riko Amanai, a Junior High School student, was this era's Star Plasma Vessel — a body that is perfectly compatible with that of Tengen and his technique.
So what came next was obvious, and that was to escort Riko to him so he could merge with her to maintain his humanity.
But the moment such thought passed his mind, a holographic screen popped in front of his face startling him.
His first thought was that someone, somehow, was able to infiltrate so deep into his tomb and used a cursed technique on him, but that didn't make sense. Since no matter who, even if they infiltrate deep into the tomb, to reach him, they would still need to bypass his eyes unnoticed.
So he denied such a theory.
The second theory sounded more reasonable but frightening at the same time, and that was that Kenjaku took control over the barriers somehow and used a cursed technique on him.
But what if he did? Since he can't do anything anyway, he stared at the screen in silence.
Despite being a non-combatant, Tengen still had lived for more than thousands of years, it was not so easy to make him enter a panic state.
"Multiverse Quest Board?" He softly muttered a question to himself or the screen in front of him, no one knew.
[The World has recognized your desire and has chosen you as the first customer. Feel free to post a quest, and the world will send a specific person to complete it]
—That was what the screen said, and it confused the hell out of Tengen's mind.
"The world? Is it some form of Heavenly Restriction based between this "specific person" and the world?"
It was a plausible theory. It was nothing new to know that the world would impose Binding Contracts on random people before their birth, so this screen being a contract between the world and the said specific person sounded reasonable.
"Should I post a quest then?" He became silent in thought.
In the first place, what did "posting a quest" entail? If he did, would he become part of the Heavenly Restriction? Will it be applied to him? Is it some form of the condition that is needed to be completed before it acts on a person?
Such was the world of Jujutsu. When dealing with some unknown cursed technique, utmost caution was required.
Since you never know what that technique can do, completing a certain condition might result in your death.
With such a mindset, it was nearly impossible for Tengen to place a quest on the board.
But did the World care for its inhabitants? Gaia from Fate would like to differ. And so…
[The World's Will has read your desire, a quest will be posted automatically now]
[Tengen of the world Jujutsu Kaisen has posted a Quest.]
[Contacting the agent. He will arrive in five seconds… 5… 4… 3… 2… 1]
Tengen's eyes widened. Did it… post a quest automatically? Why? Did he complete some kind of condition for it to happen?
While he was in doubt, the space around him started to distort much to his horror and fear, a person popped into existence.
Long black hair tied into a small ponytail, pitch-black eyes, a slightly pale face with excited expression—he wore casual clothes, a long white full-sleeved shirt, and shorts with a pair of sneakers. Though he looked quite tall for his age, what struck Tengen the most was…
"No curse energy?"
The prospect of this person using the cursed technique on him vanished, but again the feeling of horror remained. For centuries, no one has been able to enter this deep into the tomb.
After all, if he died, the world of Jujutsu would usher into an era of chaos with it becoming public knowledge. His safety can be considered the top priority for the Jujutsu World.
"Tengen? Is it you?" The black-haired youth stared at him from up and down, as if checking his worth before he nodded. "It is nice to meet you. I'm Noah Pendragon, also happens to be the descendant of Arthur Pendragon and the person who took your quest."
