Chapter 4

"Cursed Technique Reversal: Red"

The positive energy was channeled into the Limitless technique engraved into my brain. In an instant the red orb formed on the tip of my fingers. 

In an instant the forest vanished. 

Lancer at the last moment shielded Bazett from the force of Red as the were launched across the rubble with double the force of the usual Blue. It was slow but Lancer had gotten up with a few wounds across his face and sides. It was okay for a makeshift Red. I would have to get used to it. This time, instead of exploding Red, I would use it for Linear repulsion. 

Another orb manifested but this time it traveled at immense speed before blasting a hole through Lancer's side. I wouldn't even have to use the hollow technique for him. Everything was clicking, the world felt so pleasant. I could tell the difference immediately. My six eyes had awakened and so had I. 

My body remained in the air as Lancer swung the pieces of rock towards me in an attempt to block my sight. I could probably do it now as well. Everything I couldn't have thought of could be done now. 

Lancer however had a different thought as he ran with Bazett in tow. I snapped. You came in trying to take me out with a two servants and expect to escape after bringing me to near death? 

I was told by Anastasia later that my face was near feral. 

In an instant the distance reduced between me and Lancer had become infinitesimally near zero. The high speed movement granted by Blue. I raised my hand as Lancer was forced to abandon Bazett as he was dragged to my fist. My hand that had been coated in the attractive force of Blue immediately switched to a Red hue as I brought it down hard on Lancer's torso. 

He died immediately. His torso was blown to bits with the force of a Red enchanted punch. Red at minimum has twice the output and force of Blue. Meaning that Lancer's torso no longer existed and he was left with blown legs and a head which were sparkling away into energy. 

It was perfect. 

"Throughout heaven and earth, I alone am the honoured one." 

My hands raised and lowered towards the sky and ground before the wonderful night sky greeted me. The stars were so beautiful. Bazett ran as fast as she could as I attempted to fire off one more Red at my current max output. A sharp pain jolted through my head as my blood dripped out of my nose. Burnt out technique was the only thought in my head as I fell. 

Last thing I remembered was the feeling of soft snow enveloping me.

And here I was inside the most comfy bed I've ever been in. Anastasia came in soon with a basket of fruits and sweets that the servants had brought. The Gojo elders however were incredibly pleased and had already boasted about the awakening of the six eyes wielder and the strongest jujutsu curse user alive to the clock tower. Essentially what they were doing was establishing that the clocktower would have to be wary. A quick run of reverse cursed technique healed anything that was left over from the fight. Anastasia simply stared at me bringing the daifuku up to my mouth. 

Her smile was strange as I asked "This is for me right?" 

Her gentle but sweet voice confirmed it. 

A single bite of -

"What is this!? Spicy! Why?!" 

A small giggle came from the side as I glared at the culprit. A cold gaze was given in return, "Never scare me like that again okay Master?" I gulped, I had gotten a pretty scary servant. But now? We could probably finish our investigations even if it meant taking on everyone. 

Of course I had no intention of going from one fight into another. Which meant it was time for fun! 

"Princess, we're going to have fun!" 

She slowly broke her shell as her voice was raised as well. 

"Yay!/"Yay!"

Viy glared at me as If I had done something wrong. "What?" No response, just a chilly glare from the spirit. 

An amusement park was necessary and clearly it was... FUN!

Anastasia had never seen the types of roller coasters that were in the modern era as she loved every single one of them. And I hated the tea cup ride. She enjoyed it for some reason saying it made her feel like a fairy tale princess. Heck, she wasn't satisfied with being an actual princess but wants to be a fairy tale princess. 

Blegh, gives me the heebie jeebies. 

A few runs of street food later was enough to make my belly bloat. Of course as night came we had to be careful of any attacks. I was still busy trying to implement the constant maintenance of Infinity using a reverse cursed technique to keep my brain fresh constantly. Meaning I would be completely inviolable. Unless of course they had an anti-magecraft weapon or something along the lines. I had to ask for new and darker shades after my old pair broke and the awakening. It was a pain to see everything down to the atoms so the shades acted as a way for me to limit my sight. 

Anastasia walked along the streets amazed by everything new she had seen. As far as I was aware, her wish was already currently coming true. The incident made me realise something important. My weakness had almost cost a life. Something that resonated when a friend had parted ways. 

"Are you Gojo Satoru because you are the strongest?"

"Or are you the strongest because you are Gojo Satoru?"

Now with this incident it was made clear what that question posed as my thinking had changed. Did I take up this responsibility because of my strength or did I gain this strength because of my responsibility? Unfortunately I still had no answer. All I would care about is changing the rotten society one by one. 

"Master?"
