Shibuya: The New King of Curses

Third Person P.O.V.

The air of Shibuya suddenly got heavier and the night darker, like an ancient beast awoke from its slumber. That was not entirely inaccurate, after all Megumi's body is slowly opening his eyes.

At the same time, his eyelids slowly open, and the characteristic tattoos of Sukuna start appearing all over his body, the other two slits shortly opening like the two main eyes. But instead of the usual dark pupils, his eyes Shine a blood red.

Jogo, Hitomi, and Uraume observe those changes with great interest and apprehension. Megumi was not wrong when he said that he bet the fate of this world in this battle. Whoever wakes up will decide how things will go from now on.

Hitomi doesn't seem to care beyond showing an interested glint in her mismatched eyes. Jogo watches what is happening a little more seriously and Uraume is the most invested in this whole ordeal.

Seeing those tattoos would make normally he/she smile with joy, but knowing the specifics makes it so he/she can't jump to conclusions.

Megumi's features slowly morph into a wide smile... But with only that they can't say who is in control of the body.

He slowly stands up, like he is savoring the moment "Now this is a marvelous feeling~" They still can't say if's Megumi or Sukuna.

The pressure is ridiculous, it's so much cursed energy that it's almost like it condensed, and they are underwater. The being also exudes tremendous pressure that makes people want to kneel for him... But this can be either Sukuna or Megumi too.

*Riip* He removes the Upper part of his clothes, to reveal his muscular torso covered with tattoos "I need to test this now..." He looks at them in a sadistic way... They still can't tell who he is... Now they are thinking about it... Megumi and Sukuna are very similar.

"Zehaha~" Now they can tell.

"You-" Uraume is the first to reveal an expression., a frown covers his/her face, but before he/she can voice his/her thoughts on this matter...

*Whoosh* Megumi suddenly appeared in front of him/her and grabbed his/her face, his hand held her jaw in a strong grip and he moves his face closer to his/hers...

"Are you a boy or a girl?" He asks seriously.

From the brief sight of Sukuna's memories, he knows Uraume was a girl, but maybe things changed.

"What are you- Ugh." Uraume tries to struggle, his/her voice muffled.

Megumi's patience got thinner, and not giving him/her a chance to use his/her techniques, he extended his other hand and...

*Paf* *Paf*

"Oh, a girl. Good." He just pulled a Goku on her.

"You!" She was angry and humiliated, she was getting ready to kill herself now that Sukuna doesn't exist anymore but now she wants to take him with her.

She was about to unleash her Maximum Technique with a Binding Vow to Exchange her life for it, when Megumi put his face even closer to hers now, his lips brushing off against her ear.

"Calm down, Uraume." He says in an authoritative tone, before speaking more softly "Sukuna is not dead, and I plan to bring her back."

"What?!" Her eyes widen, almost not believing in what he is saying, but she stops her technique before it starts. A little hope flashes in her eyes, she wants to believe in it.

"Exactly what you heard. Sukuna is my woman now, so why don't you stay to serve us both?" He asks, whispering huskily in her ear.

She was so distracted that she didn't even notice the stamp between the tips of his fingers.

Suddenly he pulls her back and says "Maybe it is a lot to take in, come back with an answer in 3 days." Then he throws her away like a baseball, disappearing between the buildings.

He chuckles to himself before focusing on the other pressing issues, Hitomi and Jogo. Hitomi is already captured so his four eyes focus on Jogo.

To him, the Disaster Curse of Volcanoes is nothing special. A fire user? How many of those will he meet in the future?

But credits are credits...

"I'm gonna slave you now Jogo." He is surprisingly sincere with his words, because there's nothing Jogo can do to stop him. He can only narrow his single eye in anger, it seems that he can control his emotions better after fighting(being trashed) Gojo. "Resist the best you can..." He can at least give the Curse a chance to fight back.

*Boom* He suddenly kicks Jogo away.

He doesn't follow, instead, he turns to Hitomi. "Become smaller."

"What? Like this?" Hitomi shrinks till she is doll-sized.

"That is good enough, onahole." Megumi unceremoniously grabs her and puts her in his pocket. He is really doing everything he can to not let Hitomi run around.

He doesn't know if his control over her would stop her from killing people just for shits and giggles.

After securing Hitomi, Megumi crouches down and jumps to follow Jogo. The force of his jump is enough to leave cracks in the ground and dislocate a huge volume of the wind around him.

He cuts through the skies while laughing, enjoying the feeling of omnipotence that came from completing the mission. Obviously, he knows that it's just the temporary high of the sudden and considerable, increase in power. He will not get arrogant all of a sudden.

But he can act up a little more.

"It sounds unfair but what other option do you have?" He shouts and laughs as he descends onto Jogo that just landed on the ground.

The Volcano Curse doesn't even have time before his head is kicked and he is sent flying again.

"Ah yes... I didn't give him the chance to surrender." Megumi finally realizes and pauses, landing on the ground loudly.

Then he just smiles again "Nah, I bet he would not want it anyway." He simply wants to try his new powers and poor Jogo is already the official sandbag of the strong of this universe.

He jumps again to pursue, and Jogo is not a pushover... He uses fire to stabilize himself in the air and counter-attack from even an awkward position.

Unfortunately, his limbs were suddenly severed when he just saw Megumi and was ready to release his attack.

"That's neat..." He hears Megumi's voice from behind, a hand grabbing his head before he is suddenly spun around and thrown at a Building.

This fight is really hopeless, he can't even see him move or how he attacks.

Jogo stands up from the debris of the building, looking around to locate his enemy, but suddenly his torso shoots up blood from two huge gashes that suddenly appear.

"!!"

"It's simple but pretty effective." He turns around to see Megumi walking calmly around him.

He is not even paying attention to Jogo, he is looking at his hand as he comments "The simplicity also opens up a surprisingly varied range of attacks."

*Swish*

Right after that, he swung his finger and Jogo was cut again, blood shooting from the newly opened wound.

It was an obvious attack that Jogo realised was coming but even so, he couldn't dodge or defend himself against it.

"Wanna do a Domain Battle? I want to test Sukuna's one..." Megumi asks like it's the most normal thing in the world.

"..." Jogo looks at him with a cold face "... would I even have a chance of winning?" He asks

"Not even 1%, but it would be fun." Megumi answers honestly

"Then what's the point?"

"Going down shooting. The ultimate male fantasy! Dying standing while fighting against impossible odds!" Megumi opens his arms and smiles at the ceiling.

"I do not understand your human's delusions." Jogo deadpans

"..." Megumi stops smiling and brings his face down to look at Jogo "Are you sure? You're looking pretty human to me..."

"..."

"Dreams... Ambitions... Friendship..." Megumi chuckles ironically, "More human than you would like to admit."

"We are the next humans! The next step in Evolution!" Jogo argues.

"Hmm, I understand where you're coming from, but you all can't be born without us... You don't reproduce."

"..."

"The hybrids being the next step makes more sense." Megumi says seriously while holding his jaw

"..."

"Not that this matters, you can't do shit when you are weaker than the so-called 'inferior humans'. Maybe you all are simply mistaken." He mocks "It happens, you know that? Living beings with defects normally don't pass their genes to the next Generation. Zeha~"

Now Jogo is starting to get angry.

"Are you pissed? Good. I want to see how submissive you will be when I brainwash you, even when you hate my guts." Megumi laughs before advancing.

*Boom* *Crash*

In the next instant the two are floating in the air, Megumi brought him outside just to dismantle him under the night sky.

Jogo obviously tries to hit him back, but his fire is easily cut before it can hit Megumi. Whatever constructs of fire he throws at Megumi are dispersed in the air harmlessly.

The slashes forming an invisible barrier against enemy attacks... 'The best defense in an attack'. He laughs thinking about it.

"I'm getting the gist of it!" Megumi exclaims "It was like suddenly getting a high level Character of another someone!" But he is adapting faster.

His hands move seamlessly while he shoots Dismantles and Cleaves, testing the power of the two and getting a better understanding of them. How far they go, how fast they are, how much movement he should do...

As he is having a moment of introspection, he suddenly notices the temperature getting higher and higher.

"Oh... Pulling out the big guns already?" He looks at the sphere of fire that is increasing in size at high speeds.

Megumi is in a good mood and decides to play a little. He remembered how he and Sukuna had a brief weeb fight and will recreate another iconic moment.

Darkness starts leaking from his body uncontrollably and he morphs it in a similar form to Jogo's attack.

"Maximum Technique: Meteor"

"Maximum Technique..." 'What name should I give it?' He thinks fast "...Black Sun(or whatever)"

Names are important to an attack, but at this point, he doesn't care.

*BOOOOOM*

The two masses of both fire and darkness collide in the Middle of Shibuya, creating a somewhat pretty scene, but incredibly destructive.

.........

At another point of Shibuya, very close to the fight, as the Meteor and Black Sun collide, four people (one of them a panda) just start running from the aftershocks of the battle.

"It's like elephants walking above ants!" Kusakabes starts running "And we are the ants!"

Panda didn't say anything but ran behind him.

"What the fuck are you guys doing here?" Right at that moment, a surprisingly calm voice reached their ears, a voice too calm for the situation.

It was Megumi who appeared beside them and without warning grabbed them, moving at neck-breaking speeds he moved them out of the battle zone.

He is also carrying two of Geto's followers who are a little closer, and he is sure would have died. The woman is the one that he is carrying with a little bit of dignity, the rest he grabbed by some part of the clothes and treated them like handbags.

"Stay here." He unceremoniously drops them on the ground.

Except for the woman, whom he gives a wink and a squeeze on the butt. A small price to pay for being saved from imminent death.

Without another word, he disappears again.

"was that Fushiguro-kun?" Kusakabe asks, shocked.

"He looked a little different." Panda says, equally confused.

"But he saved us, so it's not an issue."

......

Megumi goes back to meet Jogo who was standing in the Middle of the crater produced by the clash of Maximum Techniques. He was not that hurt, whatever damage he received was probably healed already.

The two techniques annulled each other, with Megumi's one gaining a slight edge.

"It was fun, but it's time to wrap things up." Now Megumi gets serious, and even Jogo feels that he has become even more dangerous.

The Volcano Curse hastily raises his arms to attack, but Megumi already appeared in his personal space.

*Bam* A gut Punch not different from the one that Gojo gave him during their battle.

*Boom* He doubled down because of the attack and didn't even see the leg that Megumi raised and brought it down on the back of his head, stomping him on the ground and making a smaller crater inside this huge, and scorched, one.

Without hesitation, Megumi severs his four limbs and even Jogo's head, and stamps him.

"You can survive without air, right?" After hearing the *Ding* from his Company Device he puts Jogos parts in his Shadow Inventory without a care.

His fate is still undecided, he can sell him or make him a subordinate. He will see what world he will go to in the future and decide after that. If Jogo is too useless, it will be better to have the credits.

He can even buy someone else, not as expensive but without another use. He doesn't need Jogo's battle power that much.

"Oh, that old hag died..." He suddenly says, checking the notification that warned him of his Stamp failing "But I didn't hurt her that bad... Someone killed her. So my Father is running rampant now... That's troublesome."

He wants to check it, his Father can do as much damage as Hitomi to the other sorcerers.

"But first... Let's get the Prison Realm." He suddenly blurs and disappears from his spot in a fast movement.

...........

"..." Some minutes later he is staring at the empty spot where it should be the Prison Realm.

Without saying a word, he checks his phone to see the time.

One of the things that Gege gave is the exact timeline of the events of Shibuya, so he knew how long it would take and with what time Kenjaku would appear to save "Mahito".

"Whattaheck, it's too soon!" He exclaims while frowning "I even started counting at the moment Hanami died!"

It simply doesn't make sense!

He crouches down to stare closely at the square-shaped hole on the ground, surrounded by cracks. It's not that important, because he has other means, but it's bothering him.

"...how?"

"How what?" Hitomi asks while climbing out of his pocket and increasing in size till she is at her normal height again.

Her appearance reminds him that Kenjaku went to get her on Canon.

"A timely appearance..." He whispers

He got her to complicate Kenjaku's life, not caring about the start of the Culling Game... Without Hitomi, she will have a lot of trouble at least, if she is even able to start it after all.

"!!!" His eyes suddenly widen when a thought crosses his mind "That bitch slut that likes to take backshots!" He curses

"Isn't bitch and slut the same thing?" Hitomi asks, completely ignoring his confused moment.

Megumi turns to stare at the hole again while muttering something like "To trick your enemies you must trick your allies... Fuck you, Gege."

The conclusion that he reached is that it is all a lie! Kenjaku never had any trouble bringing Gojo away... He did all that to make the Curses fight against the Sorcerers so that she could "fish in troubled waters".

"He used Yuji's moms technique... The Gravity Thingie." Megumi says in a low voice "He did that to give a fighting chance to the sorcerers. He wanted Mahito to reach his full potential and capture him afterward..." He is thinking to himself and didn't even notice that he is using the canon name and gender of the characters "Only he knew how the Prison realm worked so he could come up with whatever bullshit excuse he wanted... He was no ones ally. Fuck you, Gege."

He curses the author because that is one of the many things not explained in the manga.

"Aaah man!" He scratches his scalp annoyed "How can I compete with those schemers in the future if I'm being outsmarted by this little shit now?!? At this rate, Aizen will serve me my ass!"

His meta-knowledge is a sword without a handle. He can use it, but if he slips a little he can get hurt.

"..." Megumi stares down on the ground for some time, his bangs obscuring his eyes. Kenjaku escaped. It's not a big deal, but he didn't like that. He was already counting on having the Prison Realm in his hands. The feeling of losing like that is not pleasant.

But suddenly his shoulders start trembling... Anyone observing that would think that he is very angry.

"Are you crying?" Hitomi asks with a sadistic smile

But when she got closer, she heard it...

"-hahahaHAHAHAHAHAHA! He is laughing

"..." She looks at him like he is crazier than her

"That is surprisingly fucking fun!!!" Megumi suddenly stands up and shouts to the nothing "This is not a play with a script! Things can go very differently!!! Zehahaha!"

He laughed so hard, a hearty laugh that came from his belly and reverberated in his throat.

If someone asked, Megumi would not have a clear answer to explain why he is suddenly so happy, so excited.

But he would say that is like the feeling of discovering something wonderful. It's the same thrill he had when he gained this chance to be a Contractor.

He was suddenly hit with the reality that things would be harder than expected and that things could go very differently... With Yuji, with Sukuna, and now with Kenjaku. Those setbacks ended up being very fun when he looked at it from another angle.

He will be able to live things that he didn't watch or read... What if he kills the protagonist on day one? What will happen? Or if he reveals a big secret that was only revealed in the end? What will happen?

He wants to see that!

It's like the already infinite possibilities suddenly increased. Infinite x Infinite! He will never get bored!

He wants to create chaos and derail the Canon only to see how the world will try to fix it, and how the people(who are more than characters) will react.

He held back for so long because he was weak, now that contained desire burst forth... He wants to fuck Canon-chan. His smile is deranged and disturbing, his half-lidded eyes looking upwards while he thinks about the infinite possibilities.

"Aaaaa~ I have a boner."

.............

Megumi eventually calmed down, after all, there's no point in fantasizing about the future when he still has things to do in this world... Or no...

"A 100% World Completion already. I can already jump to the next..." He comments while looking at his Company Device "Even if there's still the culling game to happen, I already met almost everyone important."

In his first world, the requirements are not that high, and this world itself is limited in many ways. The size of the "map" and the size of the cast is not that big.

"The points I have are enough to buy some essential defenses but before that, I must [Pursued by a Bear] and... Oh, an update? There's a new level of [Universal Calibration]?? Ah man, if I had this before I would be able to have more control over the changes. I would be able to make Yuji a girl..." He 'tsks' "What an unlucky fella."

He continues to leisurely walk while keeping his face on his phone, Reading the changes.

"One-time offer DLCs? All shit... Hm? [I want Out]? A one-time choice in which world to jump to next? Interesting... I have some in mind but I should roll the [Exist Stage] first..."

As he is calculating in his mind his credits, thinking about the failed Culling Game and if it will be Worth hunting down the people he knows and using Hitomi to awaken their powers directly, he finds someone he knows.

"Who, you look like shit." He puts his phone away and stares at Zen'in Naobito.

The actual head of the Zen'in clan is limping, his body full of wounds and missing an arm.

'That's why everyone should learn the Reverse Cursed Technique.' Megumi internally rolls his eyes. How could they allow themselves to be so fragile? Dying so easily? Losing combat prowess just because of some wounds?

The discrepancy between the Top of this world and the others is ridiculous, like gods among mortals. That's why it was so easy for him to deal with many enemies till now.

He didn't even have to use any of the techniques he invented or the chimeras that created. A good Punch in the guts to fracture their organs is enough to decide the battle.

"Fushiguro... kun?" "Naobito asks with wide eyes.

His confusion is understandable. Megumi looks slightly different in his King of Curses mode, not only the appearance, but the aura that he gives is much more dangerous now.

Not only that, Hitomi is following behind him obediently.

"Yes, some things happened. I ate Sukuna and now I'm the strongest." He answers like he is talking about how was his school day

"You... ate..." It's still too shocking to anyone. Megumi really solved the thousand-year-old problem of the Jujutsu world like that.

"Yeah, yeah... But more importantly, you're alive..." Megumi says in a strange tone.

"Just barely... I'm harder to kill than that." Naobito doesn't notice his strange tone and brags in a good mood.

"Hmm~" Megumi holds his jaw between his fingers, narrowing his eyes at Naobito. Thinking about something. "That won't do."

*Swish*

In the next instant, his finger that is holding his jaw makes a line in the air and Naobito's legs explode in blood mist.

"What!?" Naobito is so shocked that he can't even think straight "Fushiguro! You!! Or is it Sukuna??" He falls to the ground, his speed is now useless without legs.

"..." Megumi stares him down with impassive eyes "Nah, Megumi desu. Sorry about that, I kinda like you, and it's nothing personal, buuut... I need to be the clan head. And I need it now."

Naobito groans in frustration and anger on the ground. He can't believe that he was suddenly betrayed like that. He didn't know that Megumi was so greedy for the assets of the clan that he would kill him. Eventually, everything would fall into his hands anyway... So why does he want it now?

Like hearing his thoughts, Megumi answers "Mei Mei's booty."

"......"

"And now is the best time to reform the Jujutsu World too..." He adds like an afterthought "Hitomi-chan... Make it so that it can't be traced to me... And make it painless."

"Aww~" Hitomi who was starting to smiling whined after hearing his last words, but she didn't stay sad for long.

"..." The last thing Zen'in Naobito saw was Megumi's cold gaze and Hitomi's sadistic smile.

............

After the interruption because of Megumi's awakening, Maki and Toji quickly went back to combat mode. The fight remains very balanced as they trade blows while moving at high speeds through the streets and buildings of Shibuya.

It's unknown who is stronger, but slowly Maki starts gaining a certain edge in the battle... Probably because she is boosted by the Company's shared talents, Maki who started at a disadvantage against Toji is slowly surpassing him.

But it's a very, very slow process. The two could probably fight for days till one of them takes significant damage enough to end this fight. Maki had enough, even if one can't say that she is superior to Toji, no one would dare to say that she is inferior to him either.

"Time to end this." She states after a rather fierce Exchange that sends the two back for dozens of matters.

With a specific pattern, she taps the head of the Inventory Curse that is coiled around her waist. The thing moves a little and opens its mouth to humongous proportions, it's even possible to see the rows of sharp teeth inside, like he is a fantasy earthworm.

"I can't believe that I'm using it..." Maki huffs in annoyance as the curse spats the weapon.

It's something that Megumi bothered Mai to make for a long time, for no other reason than because he wanted something like this. Mai spent months accumulating cursed energy to make it, even with the help of Ankoku.

Maki could only roll her eyes at Megumi's western otaku antics, Mai can't say no to him anyway.

What the Inventory Curse spats is a huge heavy sword, pitch black, it is at least 180cm(6') in length and the blade is as large as a person's torso.

Maki remembers Megumi acting like an idiot. While describing it... 'Too big to be called a sword... It's massive, thick, heavy, and far too rough. Indeed, it was a heap of raw iron.'

Just because Megumi wanted something like in his silly little games of knights that do rolls.

She grabs the handle of the sword, it's incredibly heavy even for her, the muscles of her arms burst, and the veins become prominent as she visibly struggles.

This sword is pitch black because Megumi also helped make it, imbuing it with his own Darkness Cursed Energy. After the test with Nobara's nails, he went all out for this.

"Weight... is... power!" She raises it above her head, wisps of dark smoke swirling around her... Her will makes the darkness thicker, and the weight of the sword increases, that is the special ability of this weapon that Megumi tried naming Curseslayer(but is still on probation).

Maki swings it down with all she has.

"HAAAAAH!!!" *BOOOOOOOOOOOM*

A mess of wind, Dust, debris, and dark smoke fill the space. The sound is deafening too, the ground shook like this place was bombarded mercilessly.

Maki uses the heavy sword as support while staring forward, when the Dust settles, her eyebrows shoot up to her hairline.

The whole street is destroyed... In truth, it's like she opened a new street, or more like a tunnel. The destruction stretches in a cone format through many blocks, the attack took huge chunks of some buildings that are now leaning close to collapse.

"Hmmmm..." She eyes the sword again "Now I see the appeal." She says nodding to herself.

........

"Ah, I need to eat Choso-chan! I forgot!" Megumi hits the palm of his hand with his other fist. It completely slipped his mind because he immediately went to beat Jogo and then went to take the Prison Realm.

Meanwhile, Choso is agonizing on the ground after having her body transmuted by Hitomi.

Author's Note: Hello there, sorry for the delay.

Things are kinda crazy in the end of the year.

Till next time~
