'30 seconds.... It should be 1 minute, but my body can't take it anymore... I got 30 seconds before I got permanent damage...' Sasori in deep thought

"Itadori, I need you to wake up right now." Sasori yelled

Although it was only a split second, Sasori saw Itadori's body flinch.

'So he's not completely lost...' Sasori thought, 'I need to wear him out so Itadori can take over his body.

Sukuna suddenly places his hands together.

'THIS GUY!!' Sasori cursed in his head.

"DON'T MOVE!" Sasori yelled using cursed-speech

'22'

Sukuna's movement suddenly stopped.

Sasori quickly made a hand sign.

"Domain Expansion: The Art of Time"

A wormhole appeared beneath them.

*Using the Sure Hit effect to force the enemy to take raw information that consists of 5 seconds of past and future from all types of living forms in complex order, making their brain overworked and forcibly shut down, and if they force themselves to stay 'awake' their brain is going to take severe damage. (i feel like it kind of makes sense for a domain based on Verdandi to do something like this. Oh, this domain has other effects that I'm going to reveal later.*

Sukuna didn't have time to react since it happened so fast, and when he realized what had happened to him, it was already too late.

'This brat...' Sukuna's last thought before he's 'dead'

"Thud" Sukuna falls down.

'16'

"Shatter" Sasori's domain collapsed.

With blood oozing from Sasori's mouth and eyes, his eyes finally returned to their original color.

Sasori notices a small twitch on Itadori's body.

'That was a gamble... I don't know if shutting down his body will allow Itadori a chance to take over his body...' Sasori is panting out of breath, his body still tense.

Itadori finally gets up. His tattoo has already disappeared, and the disgusting feeling around him is gone.

"Sasori?"

When Itadori opens his eyes, all he sees is the debris of a building that has been destroyed; the area around him is completely razed to the ground, and he sees Sasori with cut scars and blood all over his body.

"Itadori.... You're back..." Sasori sighs in relief.

Finally lowering his guard

"Thud"

This time, it's Sasori who's fallen. He fell on his back.

"Sasori!" Itadori runs over to where Sasori is.

Itadori can't help but feel sorry after realizing that he's the reason why Sasori ended up like this.

"Don't" Sasori said to him after seeing his face. "It's not your fault," he added.

"No.. this.... I'm sorry."

Sasori just sighs.

"Find the others. Your body's should be fine since Sukuna healed it before." Sasori said to him

"But... what about you? I should bring you to Ieiri-senpai so she can heal you!" Itadori exclaimed

"I just need a rest for a few minutes; after that, I can use my Reverse Cursed Technique. So don't worry about me and just go." Sasori pushes Itadori aside.

Itadori reluctantly listens to Sasori; he is still worried about leaving Sasori like this.

"Are you sure?" He asked

"Yess" Sasori answered. He then waved his hand, telling Itadori to go.

"Make sure to get yourself patched up!" Itadori finally ran to find the others.

After Itadori completely gone, Sasori, who was still sitting on the ground, started coughing.

"Cough!"

"Cough!"

"Cough!"

"Argh!"

'My... Lung...'

Blood is coming out of Sasori's mouth.

"Ha... ha... ha..." Sasori tried to breathe. 'Shit, forget about Reverse Cursed Technique, I barely have any cursed energy...'

"Thud"

After steadying his breath, he just fell on his back and stared at the sky.

"I survived...."

-At The Remains Of Shibuya Police Station, Udagawa Police Box-

"Shall I save you... Mahito?" Pseudo-Geto said

Mahito is crawling, trying to run away from Itadori.

'Did Mahito say Geto?! He's got a Buddhist robe and a scar on his forehead! If he's here, then...' Itadori thought

"GIVE HIM BACK! GIVE BACK GOJO-SENSEI!!" He yelled

Itadori ran faster towards Pseudo-Geto.

"How interesting! Even if Sukuna isn't at his full power, he's supposed to be stronger than any sorcerers in Shibuya, but not only did he manage to beat him, he also contained the damage." Pseudo-Geto calmly said, looking at Itadori, who's getting closer, "I should have killed him when I had the chance."

A cursed spirit fell from Pseudo-Geto's hand. A hole appeared under Itadori, making him fall down into that hole, but instead, he fell on his back.

"Huh?" 

'What just happened?!'

"Did you think you had fallen? Seen from the side, you just suddenly flipped over."Pseudo-Geto is slowly walking towards Itadori.

"The strength of cursed spirit manipulation lies in the great number of moves at my disposal. I wield multiple cursed spirits of Semi-Grade 1 and higher.... And may simply release more when opponents solve the cursed technique and overcome them. Of course, I don't have to allow time for that and may simply pile on the attacks" Pseudo-Geto said

Cursed spirits move at high speed, crashing and covering Itadori's body. They raise him up and slam him to the ground.

"Last year during the Night Parade of A Hundred Demons... if the forces hadn't been divided between Shinjuku and Kyoto, he would have won instead of Okkotsu. I guess you had nothing to do with it."

The cursed spirit that covers Itadori's body starts to disperse and move back to Pseudo-Geto. After it fully disperses, Itadori's body is seen with multiple small holes with blood flowing from each one of them.

"GIVE HIM BACK!" Itadori said 

"Even I'm impressed; Sukuna's vessel is tough." Pseudo-Geto said while smilling.

Mahito tries to touch Pseudo-Geto from behind, but Pseudo-Geto dodges as if he already knows that's going to happen.

"I knew that, after all, I was born a human."

All of a sudden, Mahito shrinks into Pseudo-Geto's hand.

Pseudo-Geto then looked at Itadori with a small orb in his hand.

"Shall we continued? Let us discuss the world to come."
