Chapter 10: Battle Of The GOATS
"So, didn't you just technically beat up a poor mother?" Okarun adjusted his glasses as he asked Kenji, with Kenji walking with them towards Momo's home.
"Shut up." Kenji didn't want to hear any of it, he knew he just brutalized her, but it was a... Intentional mistake.b
"Yeah, how cruel of you, Kenji." Momo said with a slight chuckle.
"You cheered me on and even praised my strength, you also had a part in it!" Kenji pointed at her, as the 4 high schoolers arrived at the entrance of Momo's home, two towering pillars supporting the symbol of the shrine lay bare for their eyes to admire.
"Nice house." Kenji commented.
"Thanks, it's my grandma's." The three of them went inside, Aira being unusually silent.
Kenji's phone sent out a notification, he checked it out to see he had received a message from an unknown number.
"Well, I'll be going now, I've got stuff to do." Kenji said as he clicked on the message.
"Like beating up mothers?" Momo teased.
"Like I said, that was.. an accident, per say.." He avoided her eyes, the shame getting past his massive barrier of aura.
"Well, see ya." He started walking away as he waved at the three, he finally had the time to read the message.
[You have started a conversations with [The Strongest].]
[The Strongest: 1v1 me bro.]
[The Strongest sent out a location.]
[Doom Scroller: How the fuck did you even find this number???]
[The Stongest: Jujutsu stuff, you know the usual.]
[Doom Scroller: Understandable.]
[Doom Scroller: Aight wait for me.]
Kenji wasted no time as he followed the location that was sent to him.
It was a remote place far away from any human settlements, the perfect place to have a 1v1 between two destructive forces.
The wind howled as Kenji's figure repeatedly broke the sound barrier with each burst of speed, the sound was unpleasant to his ears.
★•★
Gojo waited, he was in the middle of a vast expanse of land, and only land. The stars illuminated the place, as their divine brilliance served as the spotlight for the upcoming duel.
He didn't wait long, as he heard the loud sound of wind getting pierced he saw a red-haired boy running through the landscape as a storm of dust followed him.
He couldn't help but acknowledge it, this opponent of his.. He was strong.
Stronger than anything he had ever faced, his cursed energy alone surpassed even Yuta's. And by multiple magnitudes, as he realized just how dangerous he could be, he knew he had to get serious from the start.
As Kenji stomped his foot, he stopped a distance from Satoru Gojo, the force of him stopping stirred the wind as a dust devil formed, but disappeared with a wave of his hand.
"Nice drip." Kenji commented as he saw Gojo wearing the outfit he wore when he fought Sukuna at the Shinjuku Showdown.
"How about some ground rules to establish before we start?" Gojo proposed, his tone devoid of it's previous silliness. Kenji knew he was taking this seriously.
Kenji shrugged as he put his hands back in his pockets.
"Sure."
"Alright, so 1. No killing and.... I guess that's it." Gojo said as he raised his hands and took up a stance.
"Sounds good." Kenji said as he also went from casual to serious.
The stars illuminated the vast expanse of land as the brightest one shone on the two squared up individuals.
Satoru Gojo, the strongest sorcerer of today.
VS
Kenji Joule, Just A Normal Doom Scroller.
This fight would determine, just who the fraud was, who the peakest was, and who the GOAT would be.
And as a black crow cawed, it became the signal as Kenji reached Gojo with a burst of speed, his fist enveloped in cursed energy stopped just an inch away from Gojo's face as Gojo calmly stared at his fist.
"You know that's not going to work." Gojo commented.
"Bet."
Before Gojo could process what Kenji had meant, he saw as space began bending, Kenji's fist connected as Gojo tumbled away before swiftly recovering.
He stared at Kenji with widened eyes as Kenji had just done what he thought was almost impossible.
'He bypassed my Infinity..?' Kenji's mouth slightly curved upward the prospect of piercing Gojo's infinity fueled his ego.
A small smile formed on Gojo's face as he clapped, he teleported behind Kenji as he performed a wide swing.
Kenji felt himself getting pulled towards Gojo's fist but he used his feet to plant himself on the ground. A crack resembling a spiderweb formed on the ground beneath Kenji as he forced himself to defy Gojo's gravitational pull and dodge.
As Gojo's punch missed he clicked his tongue, he teleported away in the nick of time as Kenji attempted to counter with a roundhouse kick.
As Kenji realized he had missed, he recovered quickly as he quickly brought his foot down and dashed towards Gojo.
Kenji shot out like a bullet as he broke the sound barrier again. He adjusted his position in the air as he laid down on the air with his feet pointed towards Satoru Gojo.
Gojo didn't have the time to teleport again as Kenji was just too fast, so he crossed his arms, aiming to endure Kenji's attack.
But instead of getting dropkicked as he expected, Kenji had defied all laws of physics as he stopped in front of Gojo.
A flash of black was all Gojo could see before he had been uppercutted and sent flying in the air.
Gojo stayed suspended in the air as he quickly regained conscious.
'A black flash?!' He thought surprised.
He landed back on the grind as he felt as if his brain had just been juggled in his head.
"This is like using Infinity without RCT.. it's like my brain just got fried." Gojo said as he wiped the blood off his chin and mouth, he felt a nosebleed coming but he stopped it using RCT.
"I'm clearly outmatched here, and he hasn't even used a cursed technique yet." Kenji calmly observed Satoru Gojo as he let him formulate a plan.
Honestly, he had expected more from Gojo, but alas, KJ wasn't the strongest stickman for nothing. His punches could break even the 4th Wall, much less Gojo's Infinity.
Kenji continued his onslaught as he saw Gojo finishing his monologue.
"Cursed Technique: Blue!" Gojo manipulated his cursed technique to put a distance between himself and Kenji as he the orb of blue decimated anything that was close to Gojo.
Kenji stopped an inch away from Gojo's Blue as Gojo formed a circular space sepersting the both of them.
Kenji was reminded of Gojo's first fight with Toji as he had done the exact same thing.
"[Cursed Technique Reversal: Red!" He heard Gojo's words as he dodged the rapidly approaching red beam.
Gojo expected for Kenji to dodge it so he didn't intend for it to be an attack, as the red beam curved back heading towards Gojo.
The red beam hit Gojo as he used the force to propel himself towards the air.
As he floated, he put up a hand sign as a sphere of Blue and Red formed on each of his sides.
Kenji watched as both of the spheres formed a large purple sphere.
"[Imaginary Technique: Hollow Purple]." The large sphere shot out towards Kenji but with a simple side step he had dodged the straight forward attack.
"Any more tricks?" Kenji said as he smirked towards Gojo.
Gojo looked at him with a serious expression before bursting into a fit of laughter.
"Hahahaha!! This is the first time I've ever been so outmatched like this, and from someone who's only been in the world of Jujutsu for only a week!" He landed back on the ground as he spread out his arms.
"It's fascinating, how the next generation is evolving so quick. After this battle, you'll surely replace me as the strongest." He praised him, as a calm expression his blue eyes glimmered with a heavenly glow as he looked at the calmly standing figure of Kenji Joule.
"But I can't just hand over this title can't I?" Kenji saw as Satoru Gojo formed a certain hand sign that he recognized.
Gojo raised his index finger as he placed his placed his middle finger on it, resembling a D.
"So, as the Super Senior Gojo, let me show, the pinnacle of Jujutsu Techniques."
"[Domain Expansion: Unlimited Void]."
A white curtain expanded out from Satoru Gojo as it quickly expanded to expand both him and Kenji.
But before it could fully envelope them, Kenji formed a hand sign of his own and he chanted.
"[Domain Expansion: Malevolent Kitchen].] A black curtain spread out from Kenji as the white curtain and the black curtain met at the dead middle.
Their domains clashed as a maniacal smile formed on Satoru Gojo's face.
"So this is how it feels? This is how it feels, to face the Strongest!" Both of their domains cracked, and then exploded into shards of black and white.
"Phase, twilight, eyes of wisdom." A large sphere of Blue formed as it started spinning around Gojo.
Kenji recognized Satoru Gojo's chant, so he responded in kind as he jumped up, his jump reaching as high as orbit as he started plummeting down, he felt the heat from around his feet as he turned into a human meteor.
"Phase, paramita, pillar of light." A large sphere of red also formed and started spinning with the blue sphere as they both picked up in speed.
"Nine ropes, polarized light, crow and shomyo, the gat between within and without." He raised his hand high up in the air as the spheres of blue and red fused to a massive purple sphere, it pulsated with power and grace as Kenji speeded towards the ground.
"Maximum..."
"[KJ's 20 Series:]"
"Hollow Purple!"
"Stoic Bomb."
Kenji connected with the ground near Gojo as his purple exploded.
The area erupted in a massive explosion as purple and red fused together to create an explosion stronger than any nuclear bomb Earth has ever invented, a large shockwave reached the mainland of Japan as the sheer force of the explosion broke the glass of buildings that were nearly thousands of kilometers away.
A tremor could be felt all throughout of Japan as an earthquake arrived and left just as quickly.
The people of Japan thought the sun had already risen despite it being only being midnight, had another sun formed? Did America send another bomb? They wouldn't be able to know, as this, was just another Gas Leak.
★•★
The dust settled, the first figure to be visible was the figure of Kenji Joule, the Doom Scroller standing strong even after that impact.
A few feet across of him, was Satoru Gojo, the strongest sorcerer of today, he laid down on the ground staring at the stairs that illuminated them.
"I... Lost." Satoru Gojo, has been defeated.
"GG's, Satoru Gojo." Kenji Joule, the victor, commended his opponent.
"Stand Proud, you were truly strongest. At least until I arrived." He said as he started walking away from the regenerating Gojo.
"Kenji Joule," Kenji stopped as he heard Gojo call his name.
"You are, the Strongest."
"I know."
