Chapter Thirteen: The Greater (Part Two)

Satoru Gojo has been sealed!
In the shadows cast by the towering skyscrapers of Shibuya Ward, countless cursed spirits nestled against the walls, peering out. The eyes that once suppressed the cursed spirits over the entire Tokyo metropolis had vanished!
From this moment on, the true Shibuya Incident was only just beginning!
At this moment, Chen Lai kicked the subway vending machine, retrieving a cold bottle of cola from inside.
Gulp, gulp—ah!
The icy fizzy drink still brought that irresistible thrill to his body... He stretched, pressing his hand against the top of his foot.
Someone had leaked a video of Satoru Gojo swiftly dispatching players on the Deep Sea Forum. Since then, Gojo had been sprinting through the subway station, likely having already encountered Suguru Geto, who was now controlled by the brain flower.
That meant Gojo was gone.
So then, Fushiguro Toji, who had briefly defeated Gojo in the anime, after undergoing a second stacking of the “Heaven and Curse Binding” technique, who in the entire Shibuya Ward could still stand against him?
Yes, during the time Gojo remained sealed, as long as Sukuna hadn’t consumed more fingers and Mahoraga hadn’t been summoned, Toji was the absolute force of violence in Shibuya!
Tossing aside the empty can, before it even hit the ground, Chen Lai had already surged forward like an arrow released from a bow, covering over a hundred meters.
This was his current speed; even world champion sprinter Usain Bolt barely broke ten seconds in a sprint, but Chen Lai could carry Bolt and run ten laps in a single second.
The marble floor was scorched black from the friction of his speed. The humans on either side of the subway only felt a gust sweep past, their retinas unable to capture his form.
“Satoru Gojo, sealed just like that?”
Rokuo, still jittery, emerged from the shadows and glanced at Suguru Geto.
“Yes, the Prison Gate is a special-grade sealing cursed tool. No matter how much the Six Eyes pierce through, he absolutely…”
Suguru Geto responded cheerfully to Rokuo’s question, but before he finished speaking, the countless eyes on the Prison Gate all turned into the deep blue of the Six Eyes, tears streaming from within.
“What a monster, Satoru Gojo,” Rokuo muttered as he touched his volcanic head, grateful to still be alive.
After his moment of relief, he stopped focusing on the Prison Gate and looked at Suguru Geto.
“So, what now? The same as always—create chaos to lure Yuji Itadori and the others here?”
“Yes,” Suguru Geto answered firmly.
But in the next moment, Suguru sensed a breeze behind him... The subway station was a sealed underground space; how could there be wind?
A shadow cloaked in a blue-black coat covered Suguru’s back, and a pair of pupil-less, fiercely white eyes flared behind him. A fist larger than a sandbag, carrying tons of force, swept toward him.

“What the...?”
Before he could finish, Suguru was sent flying backward. His usually composed face was punched through so deeply that the brain flower beneath was visible.
The brain flower, real name Kenjaku, resembled a giant brain. To transform all humanity into cursed energy forms, it controlled Suguru Geto to drive the Shibuya Incident forward.
Striking the special-grade sorcerer Suguru Geto with a single blow, Chen Lai clenched his fists tightly. The sensation was exhilarating. With such a formidable physique, who could possibly stop him now?
“Where did this weakling come from? Suguru, you’re too slow, getting ambushed by such a nobody! Ha ha ha ha!”
Rokuo glanced at Chen Lai and, finding him unlike any strong opponent he remembered, immediately looked down on him, shamelessly mocking Suguru.
Chen Lai glanced at Rokuo once, twice, then finally smiled.
“Rokuo, didn’t Gojo pluck your head out before? How did it grow back?”
“Oh right, when Gojo spared you, he gave you this evaluation—”
“You’re weak, Rokuo.”
As Chen Lai spoke the second sentence, molten lava gushed from the top of Rokuo’s head.
He hated being called weak more than anything in his life! Especially by humans!
His eyes wide, he was about to retort when suddenly Chen Lai’s figure vanished.
The next moment, a powerful black trousered leg appeared in Rokuo’s vision.
Boom!
Rokuo slammed hard against the wall next to Suguru Geto. Like two flattened specimens, they were stuck in the wall, unable to move.
But cursed spirits were cursed spirits after all. Lava spewed from Rokuo’s head, transforming the surroundings into an environment suited to him.
Suguru Geto also released cursed spirit manipulation. Cushion-like cursed spirits appeared behind him, bouncing him off the wall.
“Heaven and Curse Binding?”
Suguru’s eyes darkened. From his memories, he had encountered such an opponent before and was crushed badly.
Yes, who was it again?
Chen Lai grinned, flicked the blood off his fists, and with a casual stomp, vanished once more.
He had no suitable weapons to attack cursed spirits. Fighting Rokuo was almost like a massage, but hitting Suguru Geto was pure, real damage.

Suguru’s eyes darted wildly, pupils uncontrollably shrinking. Sorcerers found these purely physical monsters the most difficult to fight—he had already been punched dozens, even hundreds of times by Chen Lai the moment he tried to cast a curse technique!
Suddenly, his gaze stilled. The black dot in his vision enlarged.
Chen Lai had come from above!
Leaping high, Chen Lai drew in his chest, raised his arm, and swung it in a wide arc, preparing to finish Suguru Geto in one strike.
“Cursed Spirit Manipulation: Rainbow Dragon!”
Cursed energy exploded at full power, and the Rainbow Dragon burst forth from Suguru’s palm with overwhelming force, colliding fiercely with Chen Lai!
“It’s over,” Suguru thought.
No sorcerer had ever physically withstood the Rainbow Dragon, let alone one unleashed at full power and high speed.
The next second, purple blood gushed in the sky, and a blue-black figure emerged from the dragon’s tail. The moment he appeared, the Rainbow Dragon shattered, blood raining down!
Hey, hey, hey, are you kidding me?
Fear gripped Suguru’s heart. The brain flower trembled. It could only use Suguru’s technique while possessing him, but this enemy’s strength far exceeded Suguru’s limits.
The gap between special grades was like a chasm.
Chen Lai glanced expressionlessly at the immobilized Suguru, stepped forward, and punched his head to pieces.
“No, no, no! I can’t die! I still have great ideals!”
Teeth appeared on the brain flower, screaming wildly. Several brain legs scurried rapidly—it was trying to escape! As long as it got away, its ideals still had a chance!
Squish.
A heavy stomp crushed the brain flower into a puddle of pink flesh. The era of the schemer Kenjaku ended here.
Watching everything, Rokuo felt his brain tremble. Suguru Geto hadn’t lasted ten rounds before being instantly killed. Was this guy a monster like Satoru Gojo?
Chen Lai glanced toward Rokuo’s direction but had no intention of pursuing. Killing Rokuo without cursed tools was difficult for him. Now, his priority was to quickly cash in.
