章 26: Chapter 26: Schemes Within the Domain
The Domain—Infinite Void.
From the outside, it appeared as a massive black sphere. Inside, however, it was a vast expanse of nothingness, illuminated by a faint white glow.
Within the domain, aside from the caster and any living beings in contact with them...
All other beings with cursed energy were rendered immobile.
They found themselves in a state where they could neither see nor feel anything.
Or perhaps, it was more accurate to say they could see everything, hear everything—an eerie, paradoxical state.
An endless flood of chaotic information would forcibly assault their soul, their consciousness.
This led to all beings with cursed energy, except for Gojo Satoru, standing frozen as their minds were overwhelmed.
Gojo hovered in the air, casting a glance at the immobilized Mirai, silently counting the seconds.
It had been five seconds since the domain had been activated.
Gojo's body floated forward slowly, his Six Eyes keenly observing the strange, mismatched pupils of Mirai.
The ability to control special-grade cursed spirits, teleport across distances in an instant, and use that untouchable intangibility technique...
All of these abilities seemed to stem from the moment those blood-red eyes of Mirai glowed.
Neither the Jujutsu High nor the Gojo clan had any records of these strange eyes, so Gojo was taking this rare opportunity to study them closely.
Inside the domain, just 0.2 seconds was enough to flood a normal human brain with six months' worth of chaotic information.
For sorcerers, even if their cursed energy offered some protection...
Within one minute in the domain, even a special-grade sorcerer like Gojo doubted anyone could withstand the overload.
In Gojo's mind, to ensure Mirai's survival, he would need to touch him every ten seconds to pull him out of the information flood.
The two had already signed a binding vow—Gojo was obligated to ensure Mirai's safety for one minute.
At critical moments, Gojo would make physical contact, pulling Future out of the overwhelming state briefly.
In simple terms, this meant that without releasing the domain, Gojo would let Mirai catch his breath, then continue the experience until the minute was up.
That way, Gojo would have fulfilled his end of the bargain.
As for Mirai's intangibility technique, it was useless in the face of the domain's guaranteed-hit effect.
Just as Gojo calculated the time and prepared to touch Mirai, a slight smile tugged at the corner of Mirai's lips.
Gojo froze in disbelief!
———
'It worked!'
Mirai marveled inwardly, his thoughts flashing back to the moment he found himself in the domain.
The instant Gojo activated his domain, Future had opened his Sharingan and connected to the Kamui dimension.
His plan had been to imitate Sukuna, transferring the overwhelming flood of information directly to the Gedo Statue!
However, Gojo's sudden activation of the domain had caused a slight delay in Mirai's intention.
The Gedo Statue, the husk of the Ten-Tails, was also the body of the Divine Tree.
Its most significant advantage against Infinite Void was its lack of intelligence. It was more like a machine that only obeyed commands.
While it possessed boundless cursed energy, it could only act according to Mirai's will!
Simply put...
The Gedo Statue had no brain.
It was like a hacker trying to break into a computer that wasn't connected to the internet—or even turned on.
No matter how much information was forced into it, no matter how complex...
If the other party was just a brainless machine, an idiot without intelligence...
Then Infinite Void's forced information injection was utterly ineffective.
Had Gojo not acted so swiftly, catching Mirai off guard, he wouldn't have even experienced those few seconds of stunned immobility.
"Gojo-sensei, there's no need for you to assist me."
As Gojo stood there in shock, Mirai turned his head and smiled slightly.
Without waiting for a response, Mirai sank his focus again.
Those few seconds of information flooding his brain had left him slightly groggy.
The first phase of his experiment was complete. Next...
Shaking off the lingering drowsiness, Mirai redirected the flood of information back to the Gedo Statue, keeping only a small portion for himself.
———
Watching Mirai fall back into that vacant-eyed state, Gojo's emotions were in turmoil.
What on earth was happening?
Had the domain's guaranteed-hit effect failed?
Or... had everything just been an illusion?
Cautiously, Gojo extended his hand, wanting to test if Mirai's intangibility had deactivated.
"Tap."
Gojo's hand rested firmly on Mirai's shoulder, his expression puzzled.
He could even feel the powerful body beneath the black robe, the rush of blood coursing through it.
The domain's guaranteed effect was still in play, so how had Mirai broken free from it earlier?
Slap!
Awakened from his stupor, Mirai swatted Gojo's hand away with an irritated look.
"Gojo-sensei, just maintain the domain as is."
With the binding vow in place, Gojo had to sustain the domain for the agreed time. So, Mirai didn't bother with a fake smile or pleasantries.
At the moment, he was... very busy.
Using Fushiguro as bait to force Gojo to expand his domain, Mirai had four objectives.
The first was to test the feasibility of the Gedo Statue—which was a success.
The second... was about to succeed.
The third... was still uncertain.
The fourth... was beginning to take shape.
Gojo furrowed his brow, while Mirai remained vacant-eyed.
Inside the domain, thirty seconds had already passed.
With Gojo's full attention on Mirai, something stirred.
In the pitch-black shadows, the wheel atop Mahoraga's head clicked with a crisp sound.
———
"What the hell is going on?!"
Outside the crumbling house, staring up at the domain's barrier overhead, Yaga shouted.
Maki, Panda, Toge, along with Yaga and Mei Mei, who had arrived first, all stared at the overwhelming cursed energy surging from within the domain.
Yaga, who had been busy sewing clothes for his dolls, and Mei Mei, who had come to collect her bonus from yesterday, had both rushed over the moment they felt the disturbance.
Yaga feared that, due to the events with Geto, Gojo might take it upon himself to kill Future Zen'in.
Mei Mei, on the other hand, was more concerned that if Mirai died, her payment might be forfeit.
Sweat dripped down Yaga's forehead as he quickly barked orders, "Mei Mei, Panda, prepare to strike!"
As he spoke, Yaga raised his fist, ready to attack.
Compared to the inside of the domain, breaking the barrier from the outside was much easier.
But given that the caster was none other than the monstrous Gojo Satoru, Yaga had no confidence they could break it, even with everyone working together.
If the head of the Zen'in family was truly killed by Gojo at Jujutsu High, things would spiral out of control!
"Prepare to attack!"
"Focus all your cursed energy together—don't scatter it!"
With a shout, Yaga swung his fist, but his body froze mid-strike.
"Crack!"
The sound of shattering glass echoed as the black sphere of cursed energy dissolved into the air.
"Mirai-nii!"
"Mirai-sensei!"
"Zen'in clan head!"
Inside the broken barrier, Mirai was kneeling on one knee, gasping for breath.
Gojo stood opposite him, thoughtfully stroking his chin.
Supported by Maki, Mirai managed a tired smile. "I'm fine. Don't worry."
To accomplish his goal, Mirai had absorbed the residual flood of information multiple times within the minute.
His current weakness was no act, and the smile on his face was equally genuine.
Objective two: Mahoraga's adaptation... complete.
