Potential Man (Megumi SI/JJK/WC Fic)

Third Person P.O.V.

Despite their eagerness, Gojo and Megumi didn't start fighting immediately, no… They are gonna enjoy this fully.

"You can attack first." Megumi says while stretching his back

"No, you are the challenger here." Gojo replies, removing the last superfluous pieces of her outfit.

"Well, you're kinda right… Fine then." Megumi enters in a casual battle stance, doing some little jumps to warm up before *Whoosh* suddenly disappearing from his spot, leaving behind cracked ground and a gust of wind.

*Bam*

The next instant, Megumi and Gojo are already engaged in a strength match. Megumi punched her stomach, but she blocked it by putting her palms together in front of the attack.

If one looks close enough, they would see that they are not touching each other, despite their arms trembling a little.

"You know that this is not gonna work, right?" Gojo asks

"And this?" Megumi replies, the cursed energy around his body changing slightly…

*Bam* Now his fist connects, and despite blocking it, Gojo was still sent flying through a huge distance on this street, only stopping after doing something to force herself to land.

"You ate your vegetables." She laughs

"You have no idea." The Megumi that just reappeared in front of her said with a smirk, attacking again.

His use of Domain Amplification makes Gojo take this closed-range combat more seriously. But being able to bypass Infinity is only the minimum requirement to fight Gojo, it doesn't mean that you are gonna win.

Megumi knows that but he is rediscovering it again right now.

A fast-paced fight takes place between the two, punches and kicks are being thrown at each other so quickly that it looks like they have extra limbs. Gojo steps closer so that she can kill the momentum of Megumi's attacks before he can exert all his strength.

She karate chops his elbow articulations to stop his arms while delivering strikes on his torso and face.

For the first time in a while, Megumi is at a disadvantage in hand-to-hand combat.

He is eating more and more attacks even with his Observation Haki, which is a deliberate move because he noticed that putting effort into not being hit is only giving time for Gojo to set up even more combos on him.

So, abusing his durability, he takes some attacks, reads her style and habits, and finally grabs her wrist and pulls her to him while going to deliver a side punch into her gut.

But Gojo twists her body and uses his arm as support to spin around him, her legs going into the air before wrapping themselves around his shoulder and neck…

'She wouldn't.." *BAM* 

She slams him into the ground with a head scissors takedown, nailing him into the concrete, and creating a small crater.

'Ugh… The Ceo of throwing hands, indeed…' "So heartless." Megumi groans while getting out of the hole because he doesn't have time to enjoy the feeling of her soft legs wrapping around him before feeling the cold and hard concrete.

"The more things change, the more you notice the things that stay the same…" Gojo chuckles, looking down at Megumi "This sight of you having your ass kicked by me never gets old~"

"Ha-ha." He gives her a humorless laugh "Let's increase gears then." As he stands up, dark cursed energy starts leaking from his body like smoke.

The air shifts with his mood, he gets serious and anyone looking at him would be assaulted by a foreboding feeling of doom, their instinctual and primitive danger sense warning them…

Megumi finally straightens himself up completely and opens his arm, cursed energy and Haki flaring out of his body. "From now on, I'm gonna break your high pedestal piece by piece!" He smiles widely.

That's the moment that he was envisioning since day one… He can't help but get excited and nervous, his heart beating faster, but he knows that he is ready.

.........…

In the spectator's room, everyone's eyes widen while watching the display.

They can clearly see the wind moving madly by being pushed away by Megumi and the changes in the environment. It gets darker like the sun is setting, they can also see windows cracking, electric wires bursting…

Everything is because of Megumi's cursed energy.

"That is ridiculous." Kusakabe says in outrage "That amount is not humanly possible…" His face betrays his shock while he takes out another cigarette.

"What kind of monster is he?" Momo says, clutching her broom.

"Even I didn't know that he had this much." Maki says

"It's more than Sukuna's." Yorozu makes a mouth appear on Tsumiki check so that she can speak.

"It's Megumi-samas cursed energy added with Sukuna-sama's cursed energy, so it's obviously an astronomical amount." Uraume says, almost scoffing at their surprise.

"But even so… Even knowing that it's his with Sukuna's cursed energy, I was expecting maybe… The double of Yuta-kun's." Mai says before turning to Okkotsu Yuta "How much more does he have than you?"

"Hm, tough to say accurately… But at least… 5 times more than me." Yuta says seriously

"!!!!!"

"Five times!!"

Everyone sucks a deep breath of air. Okkotsu Yuta is already famous for having the largest amount of raw cursed energy compared to anyone. More than Gojo and, albeit not endless, his pool is bigger than what Hakari can access during his Jackpot.

And he is saying that Megumi has at least 5 more times than his?… This is an amount that could very well be infinite, like Hakari's Jackpot, because no one can spend this much, not even if they spam Maximum Techniques left and right.

"Hmmm~ So comfortable~ I can feel it from here." Hitomi closes her eyes and moans in enjoyment, like she just received a refreshing breeze "His cursed energy is really special."

Kenjaku makes a small curse appear from her dimension where she keeps the curses captured by Cursed Spirit Manipulation and watches the small curse go a little crazy in her hand.

"Like a drug to them…" Kenjaku says while the little curse trembles on her hand, being affected by Megumi's cursed energy from there.

"I lost almost half of my crows…" Mei Mei says disgruntled, taking a look at many of the screams that only show static "I will make him pay for them later… Even though it seems they are knocked out. Ui Ui, go open the reserve cages."

"Yes, sister!" Ui Ui gives a salute before teleporting away.

"And what about, Gojo-sensei?" Nobara asks "Does she have a chance against that absurd amount of energy?"

"It's not about that…" Utahime says "She has the Six Eyes, so she will not run out of Cursed Energy before Megumi-kun." She explains like a teacher. "Megumi will only be able to explore his advantage in this aspect if his Output can keep up with his reserves."

"It's like an exiting pipe of a water reservoir… If it's not big enough, you would not be able to harness all the water inside." Kusakabe, the other teacher, adds.

"You guys explain things better than Gojo-sensei." Nobara comments, a little shocked.

"Hmmpf, that genius is only good at teaching practical things…" Principal Yaga scoffs

"Then why is she teaching the first-years?" Mai asks with a deadpan stare

"..." That Yaga can't answer.

...........

Back to the fight, Megumi is still releasing copious amounts of cursed energy, like a torrential of darkness.

"What did I feed you again?" Gojo jokes, not looking at all intimidated by the display.

"Have a taste then." *Boom* Megumi dashes in a similar fashion, repeating the same action from earlier, but this time it is much more showy.

The ground explodes when he moves forward, pieces of concrete flying everywhere. Once again he reappears in front of Gojo, his body carrying a heavy load of cursed energy before he punches.

*BOOOM*

This time Gojo chose to jump away, the energy of Megumi's first hits the ground with devastating strength, rupturing the ground.

After his first attack is dodged, Megumi pursues relentlessly, throwing strike after strike that Gojo does her best to divert away from her direction. Megumi on his side simply ignores whatever she throws at him. His physical body is simply that tough.

............….

"How is he able to touch Gojo-sensei?" Nobara asks confused while watching Megumi hit Gojo sometimes

"Domain Amplification, have you forgotten?" Mai answers

"Aah! But wait! Doesn't Domain Amplification block you from using your Cursed Technique?" Nobara points at the screens where they can see Megumi making some constructs of darkness, like the beast-like gauntlets that he created, while he claws at Gojo.

"That's not his cursed technique, only his cursed energy." Mai replies

Utahime chimes in, as the teacher she is "His cursed energy has a special property, so it can do more than standard cursed energy."

"Ugh, he always says: 'My darkness cursed energy has both the properties of gravity and dark matter' or some shit like that…" Maki rolls her eyes

Mai giggles "I think there's more, like absorption, nullification, negation…"

"Nah, he is just bragging." Maki waves her hand.

"In some way, having your cursed energy of a special property is almost like a technique itself, but it's very rare for it to happen." Kusakabe says "Dushiguro-kun is maybe more monstrous than Gojo."

"A certain reincarnated sorcerer has lightning-cursed energy, but he was dealt with by Gojo I think? He was quite strong, but an unlucky fellow." Kenjaku comments with a small smile "And he is from 400 years ago, even I haven't met many that have a special property. I got only one body like that in my millennia of existence."

"..." Despite her giving some nice trivia, no one is willing to engage in a conversation with her.

But she doesn't care, she turns to Jogo and asks "Not even Disaster Cursed Spirits that are literally born from those Aspects have a special property… that's how rare it is."

"..." Jogo also ignores her, he is not in the mood to talk with Kenjaku, and he feels that if looks at her his anger will get the best of him and he will try to burn her.

He kept his mouth shut and didn't say that certain changes happened to him, and his cursed energy was changing too… Since he was "tamed" by Megumi. But no one cares, he is even being ignored by Megumi after he asked a weird question "Can you painlessly give someone aesthetically pleasing burning scars?"

"Oh… They are really going at it…" Mei Mei's voice attracts their attention to the screens again.

There they see the destruction benign caused by the duo, they are like two highly concentrated storms moving around Shinjuku, it's like the whole place is made of cardboard.

They see Gojo pulling debris from buildings around them with Blue to trap Megumi, but with a wave of his arm, the concrete and steel are cut into a million parts till they become dust.

"He didn't even touch them…" Miwa says seeing the debris being destroyed by Megumi's strength.

"It was Sukuna-sama's technique." Uraume finally speaks 

"Sukuna?" They can't help but be curious about the King of Curses' abilities

"She can simply cut things." Kenjaku says with a small smile

"It's not only that! Sukuna's slashes are invisible and indefensável." Uraume defends her former master, noticing everyone's strange gaze at the very simple technique.

"Her shrine is superb! I will not allow you to badmouth it!" Yorozu also speaks from Tsumiki's cheek.

"C'mon, I'm not saying anything bad about her." Kenjaku defends herself "It's simple but it's pretty strong and a testament to her skill that she is considered the Strongest in history with such a common-type technique… But…" Kenjaku stretches her last word, the small smile still on her face.

"It will not be useful against Gojo's Infinity." Yuki is the one who speaks now.

"Hmpf! You all are underestimating Sukuna-sama too much." Uraume scoffs but decides to not say more. Time will prove her right.

She turns to the screen to see that Gojo and Megumi end up in a building, they can't see what is happening inside but they can see the destruction going up each floor of the skyscraper.

They are moving up while leaving destruction, the structure is being left on its last legs and is about to crumble…

*Swish* Suddenly the entire top floor is separated from the building thanks to an omnidirectional slash. They can guess that came from Megumi, they can also see Gojo jumping away while the top floor appears to float in the air.

A second later they discover that it is not floating, but it's Megumi who is carrying it with one hand, his fingers sinking into the floor as leverage and he simply throws the entire thing at Gojo.

It obviously doesn't do much, the floor breaks on contact with Infinity, and a part gets stuck against Gojo's body while the rest breaks under its own weight and the force of Megumi's throw.

Not only that, thousands and thousands of rabbits start appearing from the shadows of the debris. They circle Gojo in the air like a swarm of birds, even though they can't fly, and obscure her vision.

In a burst of red light, all the rabbits are turned into dark dust and Gojo is released from her enclosure.

But that is enough to mask Megumi's presence for a 0.01 second and allow him to reach Gojo. His hand going to close around her neck, but she was still able to do a fast movement in the air, maybe a use of her spatial abilities, to move away a little…

*Thwak* But Megumi still grabs her ankle.

"Fucking finally…" They can hear him say "With your eyes, you never lose sight of me, but now I got you."

With this amount of Cursed Energy Megumi could very well be a dark star to her eyes. He tried to mask his presence in other ways, but he is the Source, and Gojo can keep an eye on where the Cursed Energy is being produced, from where it's being emitted.

He also can't use his perks to completely erase his presence, so he doesn't even bother… He can't hide from her eyes.

But he was able to create this small distraction with Rabbit Escape. He filled them with a considerable amount of cursed energy, enough to mask a real person, while lessening how much leaked from his body.

He still needed to tank an Omnidirectional Red on his face, a strong attack even though it was not concentrated… This is how hard it is to get close to Gojo.

She knows where her advantages lie… And she knows where Megumi's advantages lie too.

"Zeha~" With an iron grip on her ankle, he spins her around in the air and throws himself and her into the ground.

*BOOM*

An explosion of dust happens upon contact with the street. It didn't do much with Gojo, the ground didn't even touch her because of Infinity, but that doesn't matter to Megumi. 

He doesn't let go of her lep and pulls her to him *Thum* and delivers a good punch into her gut.

Any of the watchers was able to see the way her torso was carved, and blood being vomited from her mouth.

Now that is a rare scene, never once seen by those people.

Another impressive thing is that even in that situation, after being swung around so that she can lose her balance and motion, Gojo was still able to simultaneously deliver a punch at Megumi's face… But he ate that, bulging only a little.

"That's brutal." Miwa says

It's hard to imagine that those two are just "sparring".

"Have any of you ever been punched by Gojo seriously?" Kusakabe suddenly asks

"..." Some like Yuta and Hakari raise their trembling hand.

"So you all know that is not a joke, and the two are exchanging attacks like that, almost casually." Kusakabes puffs out some smoke "Maybe they will die…"

"Don't say that so casually!" Utahime shouts from the side.

"I'm very impressed by Megumi-kun's body. He is incredibly strong, and it doesn't seem that is only because of cursed energy enhancement." Mei Mei says

"Megumi was always like this. He was not any weaker than me even without cursed energy." Maki says. Adding his special cursed energy that adds weight to his attacks, it is not hard to imagine that a punch made Gojo vomit blood.

"Maybe he is really more monstrous than Gojo…"

They see Megumi pulling Gojo to himself again, his fist ready to deliver another devastating blow on his opponent… But in a show of determination and fast thinking, Gojo twists her body to deliver a kick, spinning on his grasp, and attacking her own ankle to remove her own foot…

*Thud* The kick connects with Megumi's head and creates enough force to push her as she jumps back.

"...very ruthless." Megumi comments while holding Gojo's foot "I think I saw something similar in an anime…" He appears to be trying to remember where he saw that.

The watches winced being leg twisted, the flesh being pulled apart, and the broken bone.

"They are really not pulling punches." Mei Mei says in amusement. The more incredible the fight, the bigger her profit.

But they also see steam coming out from Gojo's stump while the woman balances herself in one leg easily, as she moves her stump back to the ground, a new foot is already there.

"Ah yes… I forgot about that… This fight can last forever." Kusakabe groans while stretching his back.

The two can use Reverse Cursed Technique, they will not die easily.

"This is worrying, to win, they will need to use a killing move…" Utahime comments worried

"And as obvious as it sounds…a Killing Move can kill." Principal Yaga facepalms

While they are really starting to get worried for the safety of the two, the combatants are pretty relaxed.

They face each other for some time, then Megumi makes a move…

*Snap* *Snap* He removes his phone from somewhere and takes some pictures of Gojo's foot.

"..."

"........"

".............."

"........................"

"I take back my worry… Gojo can kill him." Maki deadpans

Even Tsumiki is hiding her face in shame, it is becoming hard to defend her brother.

"Good thinking, Megumi!!" Mei Mei suddenly exclaims "Those pictures will sell for a lot!!" She also starts taking screenshots with a zoom on Gojo's barefoot.

"Nah, just kidding… It was just too good of a joke to miss. Zehaha~" Megumi shrugs and his soldiers and puts his phone away "I don't have this fetish."

"This? So you have others?" Gojo asks, thinking that the situation is pretty funny too.

"You will discover them in time…" Megumi smiles mysteriously "I don't need pictures, I will have the whole thing when this is over." 

"Thing? So misogynistic~ your Zen'in blood is showing…" Gojo jokes

"It's Sukuna's influence… It makes me bad." Megumi deadpans. His excuse for everything wrong that he does is Sukuna.

"Talking about the King of Curses, how strong was he? I'm curious…"

"She."

"For real?"

"For real, for real… I was surprised too. I blame Japanese gender-neutral words… And maybe people of the past are too ashamed of saying that they are bitches to a woman, so they re-wrote history." Megumi says "I was terribly regretful in devouring her, she was hot. But everything has a way…"

"Oh~?" Gojo narrows her eyes in jealousy seeing Megumi compliment another woman in front of her "And between me and her, who is… stronger?" She was gonna ask another question, but there are people watching.

But that was an interesting question. Who wouldn't be interested in this topic? even though it's a little childish to discuss who is stronger.

Megumi scratches his jaw while thinking "Hmm~ Hard to say… If you two fight, it could go both ways… Really 50/50." He says seriously "Your powerset is better, but she is very good… I would say that… You're the better Fighter while she is a better Sorcerer, if it makes sense. The two advantages balance each other in real combat."

"Oh, a better sorcerer than me?" Gojo gives him a sharp smile.

"It's the best way to say that…" Megumi shrugs "I want to say talent vs. hard work, but she is incredibly talented too. And I don't dare to say that you don't put in the work too… I mean, you didn't neglect to learn everything that Jujutsu offers."

This is his opinion. Gojo is incredibly strong and a nightmare to fight against, but he can't say that Sukuna would not fight a way to defeat her, even without Mahoraga.

Her open domain, her extra limbs, and mouth, the World-cutting slash, the furnace… She didn't use everything in her canon fight against Gojo. She used what she needed to defeat her opponent. It's a testament that Gojo is strong and that she almost won too.

"Yeah, 50/50… Different advantages that balance each other when you put the whole in the scale." He nods, sure with himself after thinking more deeply about it.

In the end, what won was the World-cutting Slash that came from Sukuna herself, the shikigami are most useless beyond Mahoraga… That Sukuna used against Gojo's Overpowered Domain.

She would be more cautious with that if she didn't have Mahoraga, but Gojo would have won if she hit her with it.

Really a 50/50 fight.

"I see… But I still think that I'm stronger." Gojo ignores his words and declares.

"Zeha~ That's expected." Megumi doesn't mind, obviously, she would think that.

"After I defeat you, I will be sure." Gojo smiles brightly

"Zehaha…

"Hahaha…"

" " -HAHAHAHAHA!" "

They laughed together for some time, the battle was forgotten for a second or two before they suddenly stopped and got serious again.

"Domain Expansion…"

"Domain Expansion…"

"... Infinite Void."

"... Malevolent Shrine."

The two make the handsigns at the same time and disappear at the same time in a dark ball.

"Oh yes, this is how things will be decided." Yuki says "It will not last days, Kusakabe-kun."

A Domain Battle is normally where a fight ends…

Everyone watches with bated breaths the dark dome, unfortunately, they can't see anything inside.

Only two already know the result… Uraume and Kenjaku.

"Hmpf, it's good that Megumi-sama chose to show Sukuna's superiority." Uraume words only make sense to them after a few seconds when they notice the dark dome breaking.

They simultaneously see the dome breaking, Megumi staying in front of a demonic-looking shrine and Gojo being cut, her blood flying from her wounds.

"Megumi won the Battle of Domains…" Mai comments, a little impressed, even though she has this crazy confidence in Megumi.

"But… Shouldn't the battle happen inside after one overwhelms the other?" Momo, the broom girl, asks confused.

"It's because Malevolent Shrine is an open domain." Yorozu was the one who answered, even before Uraume could say anything. Sukuna, and now Megumi, servant glare at her with her mouth half open.

"Open Domain?"

"It has no barrier."

"Bullshit!" Kusakabe exclaims, that not only him, but all the other experienced sorcerers are thinking the same. "This should be impossible…"

But they are seeing it first-hand. Gojo is being cut even now.

"Is it really that unbelievable?" Miwa asks while looking around.

Kusakabe goes to teach her something "Kasumi, go fetch me that water." He says

Confused, Miwa throws the bottle of water to him.

"I said the water, not the bottle." Kusakabe throws the water back. This is a teaching moment.

*Splurt*

So Miwa pours the water at him, by squeezing the bottle, and putting out his cigarette.

"..." Veins appear on Kusakabe's face and he shouts at her "You were supposed to say that it was impossible, you idiot! Then I would say that is exactly like a domain!" 

"Just explain it without all that!!" Miwa covers her eyes and recoils fearfully away from him.

"Fufu~ It's a good analogy though." Mei Mei chuckles "Without a barrier, you can't contain a domain."

"After all the principle of a Domain is 'pouring out your technique in an area'." Utahime adds "Without limiting the area, the technique would disperse… or maybe it would be too costly to maintain… It's even hard to imagine."

The words of the veteran sorcerers throw some light to the young sorcerers."

"So that's why Megumi-kun said that Sukuna was a better sorcerer." Panda says

"Obviously. Sukuna-sama is on the very top of Jujutsu Sorcery." Uraume says proudly

"I can do this too." Kenjaku says just after Uraume, when the people look at her she smiles "It is incredibly hard even after putting a lot of restrictions with Binding Vows. It took me a lot of time to master, more than a normal lifetime and I only did it after discovering that it was possible because of Sukuna."

"Restrictions?" Nobara asks. Despite not trying to engage with Kenjaku, she is the most experienced here, so they can only ask her.

"Yeah, for example… Gojo figured it out already." The body-stealer sorcerer points at the screens.

..........

After having her domain broken and being attacked by the sure-hit effect of what can only be Sukuna's Domain, Gojo used Simple Domain to gain time and heal herself, then immediately she took off to leave the area of the Domain.

Obviously, Megumi was immediately on her when she started retreating. 

"If you do not do anything, this is how things will end!" He shows a toothy grin while exchanging attacks, this time he is on top even without considering his physique advantage. Overwhelming Gojo because she has too many things to deal with.

"Heh." Gojo only smiles in response as the two exchange blows, but it's clear that Megumi is the one doing the most damage. He mercilessly attacks the trying to retreat Gojo, her Simple Domain being broken into pieces while her body is assaulted by his attacks.

*Bam*

At one moment she needs to remake her Simple Domain and Megumi ruthlessly punches her face, her left eye, cheek, and chin get bloodied by the blow before they start healing.

Megumi is not holding back, he knows what would be her next move in canon, and he pretends 100% to not make things easier for her. He keeps his guard up to not allow her to grab him and hit him with a Red while simultaneously throwing him at the Shrine, breaking the Shrine and consequently the Domain.

'Her Domain was broken, so her technique is on cooldown, but she could-' He was thinking that before his fears came true.

Suddenly a red light appears on Gojo's fingertips, she uses Reverse Cursed Technique on her brain to restore her Cursed Technique.

'No, you will not.' Megumi blocks the way to the Shrine, different from Sukuna he has a really sturdy body and he can deflect Red away.

With that, Gojo will really be a fish on a cutting board.

"Red" She grins while moving her arm behind her.

"!"

*Boom*

Like a rocket, she uses the power of Red to propel herself at Megumi, hitting him square in the chest with her two knees.

The two fly exactly in the direction of the Shrine like a meteor, but Megumi's cursed energy doesn't have the properties of gravity for nothing… He increases his weight and drops himself on the ground, stopping just in time before hitting the shrine.

But whatever relief he was feeling was short-lived when he noticed a red light coming from above… Looking up he sees Gojo pointing at him with Red on her fingertips, her legs around his torso now. She created two, one in each hand…

*BOOM*

And she mercilessly hits him and the Shrine with Red.

The red light is emitted in a cone blast. He was thrown back, his upper clothes destroyed, and the Shrine turned into debris.

"Now we are even." Gojo says while straightening herself after jumping away from him.

"Zeha~ Now the countdown begins…" Megumi smiles while resting between the destroyed shrine. His wounds already healing.

*Kachik* From nowhere a golden wheel appeared behind him and already turned one more time.

Gojo narrows his eyes seeing that. When did he summon Mahoraga? Did he keep it in his shadow all the time and "wore" the shikigami when he went to defend the Shrine? Or he discreetly summoned it some other way?

Whatever the answer is, it doesn't matter… Megumi stands up.

"I'm a little happy that you got out of that tough situation." He says while removing the pieces of his upper clothes that are destroyed.

"Oh…"

"After all, I want to surpass you on everything… And I still have a lot to show." He gives her a challenging grin

"Is that so?" Gojo smiles a similar grin.

"By the way, truly bullshit of you to heal your technique with Reverse Cursed technique." He points out

"What? Do you think that only Sukuna can do impressive things? Hmpf." She crosses her arms and looks away, like a jealous lover.

"Don't break the rules of Jujutsu because you are competing with her." He deadpans

"Then I will only break you!" She declares and then raises her hands, her fingers in that familiar Handsign…"

Megumi also raises his hands… But this time with a different handsign…

"Domain Expansion…"

"Domain Expansion…"

"...Infinite Void."

"...Chimera Shadow Garden."

..........

"He has two Domains?!?" Kusakabe exclaims in surprise again. Then he suddenly deflates and reclines himself again "I think I'm gonna retire."

"One of Sukuna and one of his own…" Mei Mei says

"So eating Sukuna really is worth it." Nobara speaks

"Only if you have the ability to do so."

"How is his brain handling that?" Ieiri Shoko asks while taking the cigarette from her mouth "I know that came from Sukuna, but what was the principle behind him eating Sukuna? I can't even start comprehending it… The Black Box of our brains is still a mystery. First, it would not work by simply absorbing the King of Curses. Second, it would probably overwrite his pre-existing technique… How did Fushiguro-kun do that?" Even with her emotionless face, it's possible to hear the surprise in her voice.

"Who knows?" Not even the ones really close to Megumi know his secrets 

"He keeps saying that he is special… And always repeating about his cursed energy, so maybe that absorption shit is deeper than we thought?" Maki tries to guess

"I know that he planned that a lot." Mai adds "He may look and act like a fool most of the time, but he is a scheming bastard."

"Just like Gojo." Utahimse sighs, a headache forming "Only the thought of those two together is already giving me a migraine."

"Maybe they are made for each other." Yuki jokes

"More like Gojo made him for her~" Kenjaku chimes in with a mischievous voice. She has Geto's memories of that final talk after all.

"..."

Everyone shows strange expressions on their faces… The guy was groomed.

"For some reason, I can't imagine that bastard as a victim." Nobara scoffs 

"This thing aside, how did Gojo-sensei recover her technique so fast?" Kirara, Hakari's girlfriend, asks while stealing glances at the screen.

Nothing interesting is happening, only the dark dome of the Domain Battle.

"I think… Gojo-sensei used Reverse Cursed Technique to recover her exhausted technique." Yuta comments, eyes glued on the screen, hand covering his mouth.

"..."

"That is almost equally ridiculous as having an open domain." Kusakabe sighs tiredly. He is already tired of getting surprised.

"Hmm, I never thought about that but yes, I think its possible." Kenjaku comments "Not something that you can use all the time though."

"Like many other bodily functions, the exhaustion of your cursed technique is, in a certain way, how your body protects you from receiving some intense backlash." Shoko says

"Like cooling down an engine." Yuta says "It will not be healthy to use it too much."

"Everything will break if you heat it up and cool down repeatedly. It will get brittle." Utahime says.

"Well, Gojo is the one that knows herself best…" Shoko puts her cigarette in her mouth.

She still remembers that she is constantly healing her brain so that she can keep Infinity active 24/7. 'The idea must have come from there…'

"If Gojo breaks Megumi's Domain now, he will have all of his techniques on cooldown and Gojo will be able to use her Domain again." Mei Mei comments, thinking in a way of Gojo winning.

"You are forgetting that Megumi activated Mahoraga before. No one can win against Megumi in a battle of attrition." Maki says, this much she knows about him. She never saw him bleeding before today "If Mahoraga adapts to Infinite Void, then Megumi will fear nothing anymore."

.........…..

Inside the dome, the two domains battle relentlessly, without giving an inch to each other. The interior of the space was divided equally by a visage of space, one full of stars and cosmic nimbus, and the other of pure darkness.

"Is this one not an open domain too?" Gojo asks with a big smile on her face

"Not worth it… I already have one that is open… And I need this one to be like that." Megumi answers with a half-smirk

"Oh yeah, why?"

Megumi chuckles "Let me show you…" He says as he joins his hands in a prayer "Domain Expansion…"

"!!!"

"... Darkness Devil Realm."

The starlight that was fighting the darkness was relentlessly attacked by a whirlwind of darkness. From an outside point of view, people would see the Dome spinning strangely while expanding uncontrollably.

'A third Domain…" This is all Gojo had the time to think before she was engulfed by darkness.

Her reliable eyes became useless, she was suddenly in a dark abyss where she couldn't see, hear, or feel anything… Disconnected from the world… Disconnected from her own body.

Megumi smiles seeing that. Even the cheater Domain of Sukuna lost to his Second Expansion, so Gojo has no chance. Her Domain can maybe have a better Hax, but we are talking about raw power here.

He won.

Now a good punch with his Tremor Powers is all he needs… Or maybe he should end with that. A dark object starts appearing from his shadow…

While Megumi is contemplating that, Gojo is surprisingly calm. After being hit by Megumi's domain, even her sense of time disappeared but she was once sealed inside the Prison Realm, so she will not panic.

'Aaah~ I see…' Her voice is surprisingly happy in her mind 'A Domain is the reflection of more than someone's technique… It shows their talents, ambitions, personality…' 

Her darkened eyes stare forward unblinkingly 'This Domain is truly similar to mine… And not only that, it counters my eyes perfectly… Huhu~, it's like it was made for me.

Despite the situation, Gojo is happy.

A Domain is molded by the user's entire being, and this is obvious the influence that Gojo had on this… She influenced him too much, she was always on his mind… As a figure of admiration and an opponent… Someone that he wants to be and someone that he wants to beat…

'It's like a declaration of love…' She smiles. It's at these moments that Love truly appears. "I love you too, Megumi." She says despite not even hearing her own voice.

*Ding*

"Hm?" Megumi feels his Company Smartphone vibrating in his shadow, grabbing it he looks at the screen…

[You captured Gojo Satoru(T7) - Jujutsu Kaisen]

*Whoosh*

At the same time that he read the notification, something strange happened… Gojo's previously overwhelmed Domain opens again.

"Ah, for fuck's sake! This Plot Armor is too much." Megumi complains loudly.

The Perks… Gojo is instantly captured and instantly benefited from the Perks that Megumi shares with Everyone of his Retinue. Especially the [Soul Talent]...

"I suddenly had an epiphany." Gojo smiles. Her domain continues to expand and suddenly the barrier disappears… She made an Open Domain, like Sukuna's… That's why Megumi complained.

Megumi's Darkness Devil Realm is ridiculously big, because of the conditions for activation, but Megumi didn't use everything because there's no need. 

Infinite Void expanded quickly, like the expanding universe, and quickly surpassed it… An open domain can attack a barrier from outside so…

… Infinite Void hits Megumi.

Gojo quickly dashes seeing Megumi showing a blank expression. A red light is immediately emitted from her fingertips.

"Phase… Paramita… Pillars of Light…" She is even chanting, not holding back anything from this attack, to end this battle now.

She would use Purple if she had the time, but… She knows that something is gonna interrupt her.

"Uoooooooh" With a roar Mahoraga appears from Megumi's shadow, to her surprise the Shikigami is using Hollow Wicker Basket, the simple domain technique to defend himself from her Domain.

"Red"

Gojo shoots Red even with Mahoraga in the way, the Shikigami crossing his arms to block the attack. With effort, Mahoraga uses his tail-like appendix that comes from his head to hold Megumi down and reflect Red a little above them, like a volleyball.

Megumi wakes up a second after that.

.........….

To the spectators, everything happened too fast.

In a moment everything was normal, but suddenly the dome bloats, then it disappears, and they see Gojo point a supercharged Red at Megumi.

The Mahoraga makes his appearance, using a sorcerer technique, deflects Red and protects Megumi.

"What the hell?" Someone says, exteriorizing everyone's thoughts.

"So that is Mahoraga, the Crown Jewel of the Zen'in clan." Mei Mei says impressed, even raising her front braid to take a good look "I didn't know it could use sorcerer techniques… is that a simple domain that I saw, or I am crazy?"

"Then I'm also crazy." Kusakabe replies

With eyes glued on the screen, they see Megumi waking up, his eyes gaining focus and clarity and immediately acting.

He extends his hand to Mahoraga's back, and the white shikigami comes undone in a whirlwind of shadows that coalesces around Megumi's arm.

When it disappeared, there was revealed something else in his hand.

"Shadow Armament…" Maki says "Megumi turned Mahoraga into a weapon."

Everyone can see the big white heavy sword in Megumi's hand, it looks very plain with the exception of the golden guard that is the eight-pronged wheel. It's thick and looks like a keyblade, it's what Megumi would say.

He raises the sword to strike Gojo… This sword obviously has the properties of the Sword of Extermination, so after adapting a little, it's obvious that it can cut through Infinity.

"Phase, Twilight, Eyes of Wisdom…" On her side, Gojo also prepares herself, her hand engulfed into a blue light, as she pulls to prepare for a punch.

Megumi's empty left hand also stirs, summoning-

*Pow*

"?!" Megumi was completely blindsided when he was suddenly hit from behind. "The Red from before?!"

That's why Gojo made that pull motion with Blue in her hand… 

She also doesn't waste the opportunity to advance, with a big smile on her face while she starts chanting…

"Nine Ropes, Polarized Light, Crow and Shymio, the gap between Within and Without…"

Megumi eyes widen hearing that "For real?!"

Gojo punches him while Red carries him to her… Blue and Red fuse into… 

"Purple."

*BOOOOOM*

"......" The spectators' eyes widen at record sizes seeing that

"She is really trying to kill him."

That's a point-blank Purple. 

Red and Blue fused literally inside Megumi's torso. It's the Point Blank of the Point Blank. No one can survive that.

"To surpass his durability, she formed the attack inside him…"

"Crazy woman…"

Purple light covers all screens, no one can see anything… But as fast it appears, it goes… Then only dust remains…

"Did he die?" Miwa asks

Despite their total confidence in Megumi, even Maki and Mai are unsure if eh survived that.

*Tak* *Tak*

They hear slow and heavy footsteps, a heavy silhouette appearing amidst the cloud of dust… Megumi.

"!!!" Some of the more sensitive people raise their hands to their mouths… Tsumiki can't even watch… He looks bad.

The left side of his body above his waist is basically non-existent.

No arm, no shoulder, no eye, no cheek… They can see the flesh and the ribs sticking out… They can even see his heart beating in the open air! His left lung was completely blown out.

His spine is working hard to keep his body upright, but he still stands…

"Zehaha~ Just like my father…" He is still able to joke.

Then the healing starts, flesh starts to grow, skin covers his muscles, steam gets out his body… His body, his pride, and his biggest advantage in this world will keep him alive even in the most strenuous circumstances.

Gojo's silhouette also starts appearing. She looks whole and unharmed at least…

"Well… Things got a little dangerous…" Megumi smiles. Gojo appears, her face blank and she looks down to see what is supporting her.

A sword went through her body… No, two swords.

Black and white blades cross each other inside her torso, going through her heart and other vital points, and nailing her to the ground.

The Sword of Extermination and the Darkness Devil Sword, are the items that Megumi can finally use.

A mouthful of blood is spilled from Gojo's lips like a waterfall. She can't move, she can't circulate her cursed energy, she can't do anything.

"...But it's my victory." Megumi smiles
