Glory to my chief Proofreader; Solare for he is the one who points out mistakes and acts as my favourite wall to bounce ideas off of.

Extra Chap cuz Webnovel reached the Goal.

I recommend listening to 'The Hot Wind is Blowing: Extended.' from the Metal Gear Rising Soundtrack for this chapter.

Peak Game and even Peaker Soundtrack.

Anyways, Yuji Glaze Fest Incoming…

------------------------------------------------------------------------

As the dust settled from Seism's shockwave, it revealed our heroes standing atop a morphed battleground. The surface underneath them seemed to writhe and morph constantly, forcing them to keep moving around to more stable ground.

'Even in a passive form, this Curse's abilities are troublesome, but not something my IQ of 530,000 can not break apart. So far, it showed the ability to manipulate earth at will, it may even be able to create from pure cursed energy if it so wished. It isn't safe to risk letting Itadobro fight it alone with no help in order to force him to land a Black Flash, so I'll follow him and make sure he doesn't get hurt!.' Todo immediately and accurately deduced.

"Brother! You will lead the charge, but I won't help you at all until you land a Black Flash! The rest of you just make sure not to die!" He shouted out.

"Got it, Brodo!" Yuji responded, running forwards followed shortly by his Best Friend.

"Wha-? For real? These guys are so stupid!" Nobara gawked at their stupidity while fighting a special grade curse, she shook her head and turned to her classmate beside her. "Inumaki, what should we do? Do we listen to him?" 

"Salmon! Fish Flakes!"

"You're right, let's let them do their thing but watch over them to make sure they don't get hurt while taking shots at the curse when possible!" She replied, having understood Inumaki's whole plan from only 3 words.

"I have an idea for something that could really put the hurt on that Seism dude, but it needs your help Inumaki." Kugisaki asked, receiving a thumbs up in response which caused her to grin deviously.

Yuji arrived in front of the Disaster Curse with a serious expression as he looked the curse up and down before surprising Seism immensely as instead of immediately attacking, he asked him a question.

"You can talk so I wanna ask you this one thing… Do you know a Human Shaped curse with patchwork face scars?" Although his face seemingly held no emotions, his eyes betrayed a seething Rage tempered by Compassion.

"... And if I do? What's it to you, Sukuna's Vessel?" Seism questioned, somewhat curious as to why he would choose to ask him about Mahito now.

The ground beneath Yuji crumbled and exploded outwards in a shower of dirt and dust as he disappeared from his place, causing Seism to immediately look for him and try to stop any attacks. 

However as he turned, 2 Nails shot into both his eye sockets one after another causing his head to be thrown backwards in pain. 

This act of teamwork left him wide open to attack from Itadori who came in from the side and landed 3 consecutive kicks all aimed at the same spot causing the Special Grade's thick armour to crack slightly which didn't go unnoticed by Aoi Todo or Nobara Kugisaki.

Seism recovered and waved with his hand, causing several spikes of rock to shoot out of the ground to impale the pink haired teen. Despite his efforts, the spikes never reached their target who actually grabbed onto the curse before him and used his arm as leverage to shift himself away from the attack and into an open blind spot of the curse.

Itadori Yuji brought his arm back, his mind being filled with the atrocities that Mahito had performed against humans not too long ago. 

His anguish at the suffering of all those people and even of his once friend Junpei, it all angered him beyond anything he thought he'd ever feel in his entire life.

Yet, the path forwards remained clearer still the further he walked. He might not be the strongest sorcerer there is, in fact he may never reach those heights, but that was all acceptable to the Vessel of the Strongest. 

"DON'T MOVE!"

After hearing his comerade's words, he smiled because he knew as long as he and his friends live out Long and Happy lives, before Dying Proper Deaths, then nothing else Truly mattered. 

Of that, Itadori Yuji was Certain.

Following that Realisation of his Will, the Heavens responded to his will as Sparks of Black flowed throughout his arm. He threw the haymaker forwards with purpose as Seism stood there powerless to evade his assault.

"BLACK FLASH!"

The space between his fist and the curse's side was distorted and flashed Obsidian before an explosion of Black Lightning shattered a hole into the curse's armoured exoskeleton and sent it stumbling backwards in pain, barely stopping himself by manipulating the earth to be an anchor.

"Subarashi my Brother, your talent is really something out of this world!" Todo praised, the feeling of pride he held could be seen from a mile away.

"This.. This is my Cursed Energy… Right?" Yuji asked himself, he felt speechless. It was as if he was having an out-of-body experience due to the influx of knowledge flowing into his senses.

"You have got to taste a sample of your cursed energy." 

Yuji turned to face his Best Friend and listened to his words with immense care, not wanting to miss a single word.

"Until now, it's like you've been putting ingredients you weren't familiar with into a pot and cooking haphazardly. But now? With a Black Flash, you've gained an ingredient as a chef! Or in this case as a Jujutsu Sorcerer, you are now on a different level than you were 3 seconds ago." The scared man explained, bringing his hands together and intertwining them to illustrate his point.

"Congratulations Brother! You Will be Strong!"

They both turned together at the sound of annoyed grunting, they watched as Seism's armour regenerated in under a second. However, Todo spotted the curse's inner body and found it to be wanting compared to the durable exoskeleton it had on the outside.

"Look there Brother, it's regenerated its armour but its output has definitely dropped following that attack. If we can break its armour and land a hit on the inner body, the fight is over!" Todo declared, drawing his right arm up into a pose which his Best Friend copied.

"So then.. Shall we get Cooking?!"

"Ugh, you two are dumb as hell. But you did buy us enough time for my plan and revealed info on the curse while dealing good damage, so I guess it's fine." Nobara called out, in her hand were dozens of nails spinning around in a vortex of wind and cursed energy. "Get ready, I don't think it's too happy with us after that Black Flash it ate." 

Inumaki nodded along before drinking a bit of throat medication, restoring his strained Technique back into a usable state and getting ready to help his comrades once again in the battle.

"Fine then Humans, perhaps I was taking this too lightly. It is time for me to 'go all out' as it were." Seism stated, his cursed energy fired up as the ground beneath them shook in response to his call. "The True Battle Begins Now!"

Pillars of Rock and Stone erupted from the ground and rushed towards them with intent to crush and impale his enemies, Yuji and Todo decided to take the direct approach and jump over the pillars and run across them to close the distance.

"My Cursed Technique is called 'BOOGIE WOOGIE'! I can swap places with anyone in my vicinity that I want and clapping my hands is the trigger!" Todo declared as he clapped his hands a few times, swapping him and Yuji around to demonstrate his powers.

'Tch, this Human is using a Binding Bow of 'Revealing Your Own Hand' to explain his Technique to Sukuna's Vessel and to empower it at the same time. How troublesome! But nothing I can't handle, they won't be able to get past my Exoskeleton again!' Seism deduced, before going on the offensive again.

Seism willed the pillars they ran upon to close up and fall behind them, collapsing against itself as if trying to crush them from behind, even the sides of the pillars started closing down on them.

The Disaster curse then raised its gargantuan hand and aimed it towards the two corralled Sorcerers, its cursed energy burned as it fired off countless Shards of Rock, each sharp enough to rip straight through Steel with brutal efficiency.

Although Seism expected them to pause at his move or try to dodge since it was a guaranteed death but was taken aback when they didn't even slow down their approach, instead they both grinned causing him to panic.

"What?! Why are they happy, what is their plan-?" Seism muttered to himself but was cut off by a sudden scream.

"INVERSE!"

To his shock, all of his shards Inverted upon their trajectory and shot back at himself, he moved his arms to cover his body and grimaced as dozens of his own razor sharp projectiles riddled his armoured form.

"I forgot about the other two, they played me!" He shouted out in rage, drawing a malicious laugh from a feminine voice. 

"HAHA! It's your fault for forgetting about the most important player on the field, Rockface!" Kugisaki called out, intentionally trying to set him off again as the vortex of Nails, Cursed energy and wind in her hand had just reached a critical mass of power.

"I SAID IT'S SEISM YOU BITCH!" The Disaster curse screamed out, waving a hand to shoot a tidal wave of earth towards Yuji and Todo to slow them down and turned to kill the one who mocked the name given to him by his elder sister.

"TELL THAT TO SOMEONE WHO CARES!" She retorted before willing the vortex in her hands to move ahead of her and swinging her hammer at it with all her strength.

"Improvised Combined Maximum Technique: Whirling Nailstorm!"

With a deafening crackle, dozens of Nails shot forwards the disaster curse and slammed into his exoskeleton, each one overflowing with cursed energy as they each caused a crack to form on his armour. But this wouldn't be a Combined Maximum Technique if it stopped there.

"Inumaki, NOW!"

"SPIRAL!"

The deflected Nails converged back together and spiralled in on themselves, they formed a vortex of wind and steel that surrounded him. The Nails then shot back and forth, slamming into and off of his exoskeleton, causing cracks to be spread throughout his entire body.

Nobara stood back and laughed maniacally, she waved her fingers around like an Orchestra Conductor as the Nails followed her will and completely overwhelmed the curse with piercing projectiles from all directions.

And just when it couldn't have gotten worse for Seism, it got even worse.

CLAP!

Seism looked around in the midst of his assault, only to find one of the nails around him to be replaced with Itadori Yuji. 

The Vessel's eyes were covered by shadows, he had an arm pulled back and covered by his other with Black Sparks already flowing down his arm.

"D-DAMNIT-!"

"Black Flash!"

The already weakened exoskeleton of the Disaster Curse shattered apart under the force of Yuji's impact.

CLAP!

"HE CAN SWAP WITH THE NAILS TOO-!"

"Black Flash!"

Another shower of shards flew around as the armour protecting Seism's chest broke apart in an instant.

CLAP!

"HE DIDN'T SWITCH-!"

"Black Flash!"

A roundhouse kick slammed into Seism's neck, the force shattering his carapace apart and bringing him down to his knees. The armour that once stood invincible was falling apart at the seams due to the continued assault from Nails and Fists.

'I- I can't keep up! They all keep swapping places, not just the vessel but the nails too! Any attack I throw is instantly neutralised or avoided by them due to their combined techniques! I CAN'T EVEN FIGHT BACK!' 

Seism cried out in utter Agony as the Man Chosen by the Sparks of Black made his claim once more, the curse tried to move to defend itself but the pain was too much and his body was failing him. Leaving him completely open to what was coming next.

A Right Hook.

"Black Flash!"

'At this Rate-!'

A Left Hook.

"Black Flash!"

'AT THIS RATE-!'

CLAP!

A Stomp at the Head.

"Black Flash!"

'AT THIS RATE-!'

CLAP!

An Uppercut in the Gut.

'I'M GOING TO DIE!'

"BLACK FLASH!"

Yuji Itadori's fist dug deep into the curse's abdomen with an explosion of Obsidian Lightning, Seism's mouth was agape with agony. The force of the final Black Flash then reverberated through him once more as his entire Exoskeleton was shattered.

Purplish Blood burst out of the curse's maw, before the delayed force of the Vessel's punch followed through and created a shockwave emanating from his fist which sent the Disaster curse flying backwards before falling onto the ground, beaten and battered completely.

The 4 sorcerers stood there for a moment, waiting for the curse to get up but relaxed after it didn't move for a minute. They all sighed a collective sigh of relief as the battle ended quicker than they imagined, victory was theirs.

"Phew, looks like it's over." Yuji sighed out, taking a moment to rest and bask in the afterglow of the Sparks of Black that flowed through him.

"That was Magnificent my Brother, you indeed cooked! After this battle, you have become a Culinary Master beyond what your past self could have even imagined!" Todo declared with prideful joy, nothing made him happier than when he watched his Brother Flourish as a Jujutsu Sorcerer.

"You couldn't have finished him off so easily without my help, you should be thanking me instead for saving your lives!" Nobara scoffed with her trademark arrogance, although she was also proud of her classmate for hitting 8 Consecutive Black Flashes.

"Salmon, Tuna Mayo." Inumaki said, pulling out some throat medicine and drinking it whole to restore his Technique to its full.

"Exactly Inumaki, without us they'd be done for! There's no way they would have been able to take down that Seism dude!" She declared, placing a hand at her hip as she did so.

Immediately, everyone turned to look at her with alarmed expressions. To this she paused with her smile seeming somewhat strained.

"Eh? Well, it's not like I jinxed it, Yuji said it first!" Nobara insisted, trying to defend herself from the inevitable.

The ground beneath them shook with a promise of limitless violence, causing everyone to stare at her even harder.

"But he said it first-!" She tried to deflect the blame while flapping her arms up and down but was stopped by a familiar voice sounding out once more.

"Don't…"

They all collectively turned to face where the voice came from and watched as Seism pulled himself up to his knees, although his entire body seemed to be falling apart, it was being pulled back together just as quickly.

"Don't you Underestimate me!" Seism shouted, the earth beneath him shifted and morphed before flowing into his body and replacing his broken carapace.

"I could even give Uncle Jogo a run for his money, so don't you puny humans think just this is enough to kill me!" He screamed in indignation. 

He was correct in his boasting as he could indeed fight the Disaster Curse 'Jogo' into a standstill due to his type advantage, superior Defence and Regeneration along with his Special Carapace armour.

Although the curse Jogo was still currently the strongest Disaster Class curse alive as of this moment, as his firepower, speed and cursed energy outclassed the rest something fierce.

The ground beneath them shook as instead of simply attacking, it arose and closed on them, leaving them unable to run away from his next move.

Nobara looked around frantically for a moment before she found a large shard of Seism's armour that broke apart during Yuji's assault, she ran up to it and placed a Voodoo Doll on it before Nailing down with her hammer.

"Resonance!"

Yet despite her efforts, it was all for naught as he wasn't affected by her attack, causing her to shout towards her comrades in frustration.

"His Armour isn't part of his body! It must be purely made of the earth he absorbs then reinforces, I can't hurt him with Resonance!" 

"Whatever he does now, he must still be severely damaged! One more solid hit is all we'd need to end him for real this time!" Todo shouted out as he sprinted forwards with all his might, followed closely by Yuji who responded with a short "Got it!"

Aoi Todo's deduction was once again correct, the 8 Consecutive Black Flashes that were landed by Itadori Yuji had brought Seism to his absolute limits, one more hit would be all that was necessary to kill him as he was now.

But a Special Grade Disaster Class Curse was a Special Grade for a reason. 

And nothing is more dangerous than putting a wounded animal against the wall.

"DOMAIN EXPANSION: CRADLE OF CATACLYSM!"

""""SHIT!""""

They all screamed in unison as a Domain Barrier swallowed them all whole, it all faded to black for a moment before light returned to their eyes, they all gaped in horror as they took in the view of the Domain Expansion.

The domain is a desolate wasteland, with the ground constantly trembling and deep fissures splitting the earth. The sky is an ominous swirl of dark clouds, lit by a faint red glow. Monstrous, skyscraper-sized earthworms burst from the ground, their massive, segmented bodies tearing through the landscape with relentless ferocity. 

Their gaping maws, filled with rows of razor-sharp teeth, built to devour everything in sight, leaving behind only lifeless craters. Each one of the shikigami held enough power and cursed energy reserves to be considered a special grade curse on their own right.

The cursed energy within this domain amplified the terror of natural disasters, turning the very ground into a weapon. The earth itself seemed to be alive, shifting and quaking as if trying to swallow all who entered. Those trapped within will be relentlessly pursued by the Gargantuan Earthworms, with no hope of escape. 

Within this Domain, Survival was impossible; only the crushing power of the earth remains.

"You will all die for this humiliation, none shall survive the onslaught of my Shikigami brethren." Seism announced before the roars of gargantuan monstrosities followed, within his Domain the ground surged towards him even faster as his entire Exoskeleton was completely restored in under a second.

"Welp, I guess we're cooked guys… Not really much we can do against that…" Yuji said, not really seeing a way out of this Domain.

"No shit Sherlock, the best thing we could do now is survive until Megumi, Maki or Gojo-sensei come here to save our asses." Nobara agreed, pulling out her Naginata in preparation for having to protect herself.

"Don't worry Brother, we can handle this!" Todo declared, having full confidence that everything will turn out just fine.

Just then, right as the Shikigami began moving towards them to devour them whole with tremors shaking the ground beneath them. A loud shattering sound reverberated throughout the Domain, causing everyone to look upwards towards its source.

"Man, I love Plot Armour…"

The students all felt joy as they all instantly cheered up at the man they saw, he had White Hair and was taking off his sunglasses with one hand while pointing another at the Disaster curse with his other. 

"Gojo-sensei!" Yuji shouted cheerfully, he was never so happy to see his teacher as he was now.

"S-Satoru Gojo!" Seism screamed, fear gripping his heart immediately when he saw who it was that invaded his Domain.

"How dare you Curses try to hurt my students on my watch?" Gojo asked with disdain, before channelling his Cursed Technique.

A Red Singularity appeared on his left and a Blue one was summoned on his right, they collided together within his hand before he flicked the resulting Imaginary mass towards the Curse that threatened his beloved students.

"Hollow Purple."

Seism tried to block the attack but it was in vain as even when placed all of his shikigami in the way, and even threw all of his powers into creating a mountain between him and the attack, it was all for naught.

The Special Grade Disaster Curse couldn't even scream in agony for more than a second as it was completely and utterly erased from existence.

The Domain around them fell apart right after, returning them all into the real world as they watched the 'Hollow Purple' continue flying forwards and obliterating everything in its path before fading away a few seconds later.

"Phew, thanks Gojo-sensei!" Yuji called out, grateful to have been saved in time.

"No worries Yuji! I would never let you get hurt!" The white haired man affirmed as he walked up to him and ruffled his hair.

"Wait if you're here, then where's Megumi?" Nobara asked, wanting to know where the idiot was since he promised to help them right after he and Maki finished up with their own Curse.

But before he could answer…

BOOOOOOOOM!

They all felt a shockwave reverberate throughout the entire area before a Blinding flash of light appeared forcing everyone to shield their eyes. Nobara and Inumaki were even thrown off their feet and onto the ground from the sudden force.

When they all turned and were able to see what caused that shockwave, they all gaped as they saw a Giant Mushroom cloud disperse into the Heavens. 

A crater was formed on the ground from the explosion with cracks flowing through the ground, reaching even to where they were with fire even crawling through the cracks in the earth, lighting them up with a bright orange. 

Flames covered the entire area to their right with their heat reaching even to where they stood, it was as if the very Sun had touched down on the surface for a moment.

"... I think I can make a wild guess as to where he is…" Gojo said after a small pause, feeling a mixture of surprise and worry at the sight of such a huge explosion.

"Oh shut up, let's just go see what happened!" 

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Author's Note:

Just my Goat Himadori Wuji doing some Goat shi.

Definitely not my Glazing Powers on Overdrive…

I wonder what that Huge explosion was that shook everyone? 

I guess you'll have to wait and see :3
