Anime Collector: Starting With the Malevolent Shrine

The clash between top-tier fighters often lasts but an instant.

The Sorcerers in the conference room saw only a brief flash before their eyes. The two opponents facing each other hadn't made a single unnecessary movement — even their standing positions remained unchanged.

An eerie silence fell as the Sorcerers stood bewildered, unable to comprehend what had transpired.

Had they fought? It seemed both that they had and hadn't.

Not a single Sorcerer present could discern what had occurred.

Finally, Daiki broke the silence, "That was truly an exhilarating battle, Satoru Gojō, the Strongest Sorcerer in the Jujutsu World. I'll never forget this for the rest of my life."

As the words fell, the standing Satoru Gojō's upper body tilted backward.

❊❊❊

At those words of praise, Satoru's life flashed before his eyes.

From his birth with the Six Eyes, to mastering Reverse Cursed Technique in battle with Toji Fushiguro, to becoming the Strongest in the Jujutsu World — supreme and peerless.

On a bench in the bustling Tokyo streets, Satoru sat waiting. Behind him sat his old friend from his youth, Suguru Getō.

"Did you win?"

"I lost. Daiki Tsukasa was just too strong, he defeated me with a single casual move. Before the battle began, I knew I didn't have much chance of winning. But isn't someone like me supposed to die at the hands of a stronger enemy? What kills me shouldn't be time or disease!"

"..."

"I'm sorry I couldn't make Lord Tsukasa use his full power, couldn't give him a proper fight!" Satoru hung his head, his face radiating joy as if freed from a burden.

❊❊❊

In the real world, seeing this scene, Megumi roared with blazing eyes, "Master!"

The other Sorcerers in the conference room felt their skin crawl.

The Strongest in the Jujutsu World... defeated with a single move.

Holy shit! Talking so big, almost made us believe you were truly invincible!

The Gojō family Sorcerers all fell to their knees, staring in disbelief at the scene before them. The Limitless Technique had actually failed.

The Ghost Hand took out two Six Eyes and stored them in the collection space.

『Host have collected the Jujutsu Trait — Six Eyes!』

『Reward: Innate Cursed Technique — Perfect Limitless Technique!』

An invisible barrier suddenly appeared in front of Daiki. Yuta Okkotsu and Megumi rushed to Satoru's upper body.

"If you find someone to stitch him up now, you might still save him. And you, the one called Megumi Fushiguro, come here."

"!" The summoned boy's body trembled, his fists clenched tight.

"Mahoraga, come forth." Daiki waved his hand casually.

Megumi hesitated but quickly summoned the Shikigami Mahoraga.

"With this treasure, I summon... Eight-Handled Sword Divergent Sila Divine General Mahoraga!"

Mahoraga appears as a muscular humanoid with four wings from its eye sockets and a tail-like head appendage. Above it floats an eight-handled wheel that spins to adapt to stimuli, representing the "perfect cycle" of "Furu's Incantation". It wears black hakama and a white waist sash.

"!"

"Is this... the strongest Shikigami that perished alongside the Gojō family head?"

The strongest Shikigami ever created by the Zen'in family through their Innate Cursed Technique: Ten Shadows Technique.

Its mere presence made everyone's hearts quake.

۞ Innate Technique⟴Slash That Cut the World! ۞

With one devastating move, the invincible space slash cleaved through Mahoraga.

Daiki raised his hand and claimed this mightiest of Shikigami for himself.

『Host have collected the Eight-Handled Sword Divergent Sila Divine General Mahoraga!』

『Reward: Jujutsu Trait — Immortal Basilisk Constitution!』

His physical form underwent an earth-shattering transformation.

The Immortal Basilisk Constitution blessed him with tenacious vitality, supreme adaptability, and extraordinary regenerative abilities — allowing him to thrive in any environment and heal from any wound.

'Not bad.' Daiki shrugged.

His next target would be investigating the Campione World.

After that, he would unleash the Cursed Technique Seven Nails of Damnation to eliminate potential threats one by one.

"Handle the rest yourselves. Today has been busy enough, I'll chat with Tengen another day."

۞ Spatial Transference! ۞

As Daiki's figure vanished, the Sorcerers rushed to action, desperately trying to piece together Satoru's bisected body.

Without the Six Eyes, the Limitless Technique was lost forever. The once-mighty Strongest Sorcerer in the Jujutsu World would become nothing more than an ordinary invalid — assuming they could save his life at all.

❊❊❊❊❊❊❊❊❊❊

Using his Spatial Transference Technique, Daiki returned to his luxury apartment and stretched.

"Daiki-kun, you're back?" Itsuki called out in surprise as she walked out of the bedroom.

His sudden disappearance had worried her and Nino deeply.

"Just got back!" Daiki stood up.

Excited, Itsuki ran straight into his embrace.

"Um... did you resolve the matter with the director's office?" She asked with concern.

"It's resolved. There won't be any such issues anymore."

Hearing his assurance, she relaxed as she breathed in his scent.

Being privy to the situation, Itsuki and Nino had been anxious for so long, fearing some uncontrollable disaster might occur.

In the quiet living room, Itsuki noticed something odd about the atmosphere.

"Where are the others?"

"They studied by themselves all morning. Now they're all tired and sleeping."

Without the Hundred Teachings' guidance, studying independently remained quite challenging.

Coming to her senses, she quickly turned around, deliberately avoiding Daiki.

After all, that day had been an accident — she couldn't make the same mistake again! Now that he was safe, they needed to return to normal life!

Wait... had her actions just revealed something?

Her delicate body stiffened slightly, but she dismissed the thought. After all, Nino had already discovered her feelings, and they had discussed it at length. Right now, Yotsuba was the pressing concern.

She had been questioning everyone all day. What excuse could they use to keep her quiet?

If they told Miku...

Itsuki rubbed her temples in frustration — this situation was becoming far too complicated.

Meanwhile.

Suguru Getō had successfully obtained the mysterious grimoire.

The Immortal Witch had come to him rather than the other way around, sending a crow to drop the tablet directly in front of him.

"With no more gods in the world, is this tablet now useless?" Suguru examined the tablet, finding nothing profound about it.

The Immortal Witch's mention of deities had surprised him. Perhaps Tengen's words held deeper meanings he had yet to grasp?

"Well, returning with this tablet will conclude things. That person... shouldn't give me any more trouble, right?" His eyes narrowed as he thought of Daiki's Domain Expansion.

For a moment, he considered fleeing with the mysterious tablet.

But after careful consideration, he abandoned the idea. Daiki possessed that unknown Spatial Transference Technique, and without understanding its conditions and limitations, there was no certainty that he couldn't be tracked.

❊❊❊❊❊❊❊❊❊❊

After the mysterious tablet's departure, Erica Blandelli of the Mage Association Copper-Black Cross sat restlessly, stunned that the Grimoire had been taken so easily.

For a Mage Association of ruling-class status, their forced seclusion was frustrating enough — and now they could only watch helplessly as others acted freely.

Uncle Paolo constantly preached about the Mage Association's mission to serve the Demon King, but where was this supposed ruler?

She hadn't caught even a glimpse of the Demon King, and now, with news of the tremendous upheaval in the Jujutsu World, Erica's disquiet grew even stronger.
