Chapter 20: Barriers and Healing!
__________________________________________________________________________
- Felix -
I wake up with a groan as I feel someone sucking me off under the blanket. Last night Raiden and I went at it until morning, sleep wasn't something we really had to worry about after all.
Thankfully muscle soreness isn't something either of us have to worry about either due to our regeneration, and physiology.
It seems Raiden wanted to give me a wake up present. I feel her slowly pull up off my shaft, I see her head peek out from under the blanket. "Good morning Master!~"
She has a deep blush on her face with some drool leaking out from the side of her mouth, if this were a hentai she would have heart eyes.
I smile at her as I say, "Good morning to you too, now are you going to finish your duty?" Raiden really likes it when I reference anything sex related as her duty, or job. Her being a maid has been integrated into her kinks, scary.
But also hot.
She sent me a seductive smile, "Of course Master~!" Ah, she is really learning quickly.
I soon felt her begin to suck on my balls which she continued for a few seconds before licking, and kissing her way back up to the tip.
"Ahhh~! You taste so good Master~!"
Sex Magic for the win baby!
She begins to deepthroat my cock, causing me to groan out my enjoyment.
"Raiden, can you use your tits?" I've always wanted a boobjob from her, we unfortunately didn't get much of a chance to do so last night, so might as well make up for that now.
She slowly pulled up, once she was at the tip she gave it a quick kiss before I heard her say, "Of course Master! It would be my honor!"
Having a lewd maid is great.
I reach down to pet her head as I imbue my hand with Pleasure Magic, causing each of my touches to feel extremely pleasurable for her. "Ah, you really are the perfect maid, aren't you Raiden."
"Yess~! I am my Mashter's perfect Maid~!"
It didn't take Raiden long to lean back under the blanket, though with the addition of my hand on her head. I groaned as I felt her massive mammaries surround my dick, such a sensation is absolutely exquisite.
I could feel the drool Raiden is releasing as lube slide down my dick, and into the valley between her breasts.
Once her breasts were sufficiently lubed she began to gently move them up and down as she sucked on the part of my dick that was peeking out through her tits as she continued to moan.
I could feel my release begin to approach, "I'm about to cum Raiden!"
I felt her redouble her efforts, she was clearly eager for my seed, what a lewd maid.
I groaned as I came down her throat, causing Raiden to achieve an orgasm of her own, the combination of my basically addictive sperm, and my Pleasure Magic was easily able to get her to reach her peak.
I could feel some of my cum begin to leak out of her mouth, and onto my dick but I didn't worry about that. After all, I'm sure Raiden will have a fun time cleaning me up.
"Now clean me up, and then we can resume from where we were last night."
"Mmmm, yes Master~!"
Now that Raiden and I are fully cleaned up, I decided to head out and see what Kurumi was doing. I could sense that she was still in the house so it didn't take me long at all to find her.
The moment I entered the room that Kurumi was in Kurumi turned to me with a foxy smile, "Ara, did you have fun with Raiden Master?"
"Haha, you can say that, anyways what have you been up to?" I shift the topic away from my night activities, I really don't want to talk about that with Kurumi, that seems like it would be super awkward no matter what.
"Oh, I have been sorting through all the things I had bought yesterday, along with browsing the internet."
I cringed internally hearing the last part, I asked Raiden how she was able to get the hang of sex so quickly, and she said that she used the internet.
God damn it, they haven't even been here for a week and they are already being corrupted.
"Is Raiden still asleep?" Kurumi asked
"Hmm? Oh, as if she would take a break, no she's making some food for us."
"I see, I wonder what she is going to make, the food of this world is quite unique and delicious."
"Yup, the food culture in this world is super developed, what did you try yesterday?"
"I only went to one cafe, and then had some street food, I had omurice, curry rice, a parfait, and some coffee."
"I see, not bad choices, all three of us should go out later, there are a bunch of things you have to try."
Kurumi gave me a nod as she said, "It would be my honor to go out with you for food Master, as they say in this world, I will dress to impress!" Ah, she is really being infected by the internet. Not that I can blame her, the internet is great.
Still, I'm surprised that people weren't panicking from Kurumi's appearance, to the uneducated she must seem similar to a Cursed Spirit. I know that no Jujutsu Sorcerer will dare to mess with her seeing as basically all of them saw the stream of me beating Sukuna up, but I would have thought the normal people would try to do something to her out of fear. It seems my worries were for nothing though, according to Kurumi she heard someone say a Cursed Spirit couldn't be as beautiful as her.
These humans seriously have absolutely no sense of self-preservation.
It will be interesting to see how they will adapt to everything that is happening, Japan is definitely going to have a hard time. The value of the Japanese Yen has dropped considerably, people are wanting to leave, etc.
Still, they aren't doing horrible, they do have their very own Satoru Gojo to make sure everything goes well. That guy might as well be an unbeatable god to the majority of this world, so he should be able to make sure nothing goes wrong until my plan bears fruit.
In a few decades I'll definitely have to visit this world again to see what the world turned out like due to my tampering. I haven't even begun yet and I'm already starting to feel a bit excited.
Kurumi and I continued to chat until Raiden informed us that the food was ready.
Once Kurumi and I were at the table I inspected the dishes she made. A good old cheeseburger with some fries, can't go wrong with that.
Raiden wasn't letting last night's activities hinder her in her duties as my maid, truly a professional maid.
While I was eating I went through the list of everything I wanted to get done today. I need to replace the barriers around the Jujutsu Schools, Go out for some food with Raiden, and Kurumi, maybe do some shopping as well. I want to buy some gaming consoles to take back to the Cardinal World. Maybe I can find a way to make them work there. Playing Video Games with Milim, and Veldora sounds fun. Then I gotta get the stuff on the list Rimuru sent me.
I definitely want to buy a Nintendo Switch.
And then there is one other thing I want to do that I forgot about in my excitement, it's something I'm somewhat ashamed of forgetting, I need to visit my mothers grave…
It seems I got completely lost in the novelty of traveling worlds that I forgot about some of the more important things.
I may not have loved her as a son would love a mother, but maybe more like an older sister or an aunt, she took good care of me, and even her cause of death could be related to me.
Still I'm not going to blame myself for such a thing, she was doing what she felt was right, I've had time to move on.
Maybe I'll end up finding out what happened to my body as well. I'd like to take back some of the stuff I had, like some old pictures I've taken with my mother, but those are probably long gone.
Sigh, well I've got my memories at least.
And then, only after I get everything I want to do in this world done, will I make my announcement. I want to do that last as a lot of chaos will start to happen, who knows if the shops I want to go to will even be open at that point.
After that, I can just relax for a bit before going back to the Cardinal World.
Umu, sounds like a good plan to me.
I continued to browse social media as I ate my breakfast, apparently the Japanese Government has made some announcements a few months ago, back during the Shibuya Incident.
They announced that Cursed Spirits exist, but that they are only born in Tokyo, and then along with that everyone in Tokyo was evacuated due to Kenjaku releasing so many Cursed Spirits.
Tokyo is an absolute ghost town at this point, that's probably why Satoru didn't set me up there. The citizens were evacuated to other ghost towns as well as some islands.
Probably a wise decision, but people are starting to find out the truth about everything, what with Mei Mei's stream, my own announcement earlier, and the announcement that I'm going to make pretty soon is bound to mess some stuff up.
I quickly sent a quick text to Satoru telling him that I can replace the barriers for the Jujutsu Schools, he sent a thumbs up emoji, along with the location of both schools with Google Maps. Nice, I can use that to get the exact coordinates.
I told him to meet me at the school in Tokyo shortly.
I'll have to manually maintain the barriers until I place down the crystals, but that's not a big deal.
I have an absurd magicule capacity now, to the point that I likely won't ever run out of Magicules even without 'Magicule Breeder Reactor', maybe only in a fight against someone super strong like Milim, Guy, or the True Dragons would I have to worry about running out of Magicules.
I quickly finished up my burger, "Hey girls, I'm going to go replace some barriers for Satoru, any of you want to tag along?"
Raiden responded first, "I would love to accompany you Master, however the bed sheets need to be changed, along with some cleaning that needs to be done, and then I need to begin preparing your next meal."
Yikes, that does sound like a lot to do, I'm also making her work more, as beings at my level don't really need to eat or drink to survive, I just do it since I enjoy it. Still, I know she enjoys serving me so I'll leave her to it.
"I see, well what about you Kurumi?"
"Yes, I would love to come Master!"
"Alright, since I know you like to ride on my shoulders, why don't you shift into your fox form now?"
"Yes Master!"
Once Kurumi was on my shoulder I turned to look at Raiden, "After I'm done helping Satoru want to go explore the city?"
"Yes Master! I will make sure all my tasks have been completed upon your return."
I gave her a thumbs up and teleported to the coordinates Satrou sent me.
Once I arrived I noticed a bunch of Jujutsu Sorcerer's gazes jump to me, they were quickly able to recognize me though so they didn't do anything other than give me a bow.
It seems that since Tengen's barrier which was hiding the schools is down, the Jujutsu Sorcerers have to manually make sure that no one wanders into the campus, that must be a massive waste of manpower.
I was completely concealing my Aura, so Satoru wasn't able to sense me, though I'm sure these other Jujutsu Sorcerers are probably letting Satoru know of my arrival, so I decided to just wait until he shows up.
I wanted to explore the school a bit, and no one seemed to have the guts to attempt to stop me so I just went on my way.
I flew up into the sky to get a good view of the surroundings. The Tokyo Jujutsu School was surrounded by a large mountainous range. I wonder how everyone will react if I destroy it?
I bet Megumin would enjoy doing such a thing, that girl tried to blow up Demon Lord Leon's kingdom on the daily.
Ah, stupid intrusive thoughts, let's not cause any more mass destruction.
Hmm, maybe I should try and find a dead, or empty world to have fun on, one where me and my subordinates can go wild without having to worry about the consequences.
Yes, that sounds like an excellent idea.
'Notice, Odin has already found multiple worlds that fit the Master's requirements.'
'Ah, really?! Great, I'll have to pay one of those worlds a visit sometime then. Are you able to make it do that the times between said dead world, and the Cardinal World sync up rather than what is happening now?'
'Answer, yes, due to detailed analysis Odin is capable of transporting the Master to other worlds without time speeding up in said world.'
'Nice, I was just curious but that might come in handy someday.'
Maybe I can connect an empty world to a room in my castle, basically adding an entire planet to my territory. I don't really need to do that, but it sounds badass.
I can tell people I have my own personal planet, I imagine not many can claim the same.
'…'
'Huh? You say something Odin?'
'It was just the Master's imagination.'
'I don't think so but whatever.'
I felt Satoru flying up towards me, "Ah, the view here is great isn't it? Though I don't know how many times I've had to stop myself from using 'Hollow Purple' to just destroy everything. Also hello Kurumi."
Kurumi waved back at him using her paw since she was still in her fox form, but we really are similar aren't we?
"Indeed, that sounds like a fun time though."
"I bet, still, now that you're here I'd like to ask you for a favor."
Another favor huh? I wonder what went wrong this time?
"Hmm, depends on what it is."
"Of course, I'm not sure if you are familiar with my student, Nobara, but she's kinda in a coma right now."
Huh, I was wondering what happened to her. Gege really wanted to kill everyone huh? That's something to think about, did Gege creating Jujutsu Kaisen create this world? Or did he basically receive dreams of what would happen in this world and create a manga about it?
Truly, life's greatest questions.
If it's the former, then he might not know it, but he would basically have complete control over what happens in this world.
Scary.
"She got a chunk of her face blown off by a Cursed Spirit's Innate Technique. You might know him, his name is Mahito. We were able to prevent her from completely passing on due to a Cursed technique, but the moment the technique is lifted, she will die."
"I see, so you want me to heal her then, hmm?"
"That is exactly what I want! But the way Mahito's technique works is that it alters the very shape of her soul, and then her body adjusts to said change, we have no way to revert what happened to her soul, but I was hoping you did."
"Hmm, I can take a look at her at the very least, there is a very real possibility that I can heal her."
Now what should I ask for in return? Hmm, there isn't really anything more I want from Satoru in exchange for my help, hell everything I've asked for from him I can get myself but was too lazy to do so.
Still, I'm not an unreasonable dick to everyone, I can understand Satoru's plight. He has been treating me well, and I do like him so I might as well help him. It's not like it will come at a big cost for me.
I'm at a level of power where I can generally just do whatever the fuck I want and not have to worry about the consequences, still that doesn't mean I have to be an evil tyrant all the time.
I can be a nice guy for once, plus I'm in a rather good mood after last night.
I probably don't even need to use a potion, from what I'm hearing she is still technically alive, which means her soul should still be around. I can just use the Holy Magic spell 'Resurrection', that should easily be capable of bringing her back from her comatose state, and theoretically restoring her soul to its natural form.
Miracle level Holy Magic really can be quite broken. You can use it to bring back the dead, heal fatal injuries, seal Awakened Demon Lord level beings, and even destroy souls, even Ultimate Skill wielders with their immunity to lesser forms of magic have to be careful when facing a master of this form of magic. And since rather than using Holy Power, it makes use of the god's power to directly manipulate spiritrons, even monsters, and Daemons, two very not holy beings can use it.
"Hmm, sure, I don't mind helping you with Nobara after I set up the barriers."
"Great! Here, I know you're interested in quite a few things so I got you this! Tadaa, Sukuna's last finger!"
"Huh, I thought he was at full power back when you two were fighting?"
"Nope! He was at 19 fingers."
I took the finger from Satoru's hand and stored it in my Stomach. It seems to be quite similar to a horcrux from Harry Potter, as in it has a piece of Sukuna's soul in it.
I'll have to feed this to Sukuna whenever I return to the Cardinal World, then he can be at his highest level, and then I'll name him.
"I see, thanks."
"Mhmm."
"Now let me set up the barrier."
"Alright, do you need anything from me?"
"Nah, it shouldn't take long."
The barrier Tengen had changed the appearance of the layout of the buildings every day to hide the schools' existence from the public, the barrier helps with hiding the school, but doesn't really prevent an infiltration.
Now that Jujutsu Society has been exposed to the wider public, the abilities for the barrier have to be changed, for one it has to focus on keeping people out, as well as hiding from the public.
Not something hard for me to do.
I clap my hands and create a simple barrier around the campus, and then use Spatial Magic to separate the inside of the barrier from the rest of the world, similar to what Isolate does, I basically separated the space inside the barrier from the space outside the barrier. I did it this way due to Isolate being a Skill, it will be far harder to maintain such a thing with mere crystals, Spatial Magic, and the barrier on the other hand isn't as high tier, though it should be more than enough for this world. The defenses I put up are rather simple, but it should get the job done. I could do the same, if not more with Ouroboros, as space is basically my personal bitch, but I felt like it would be a bit overkill, I don't want to use one of my most powerful Skills for something basic in another world that won't have any direct impact on me.
"Alright, done. The barrier is designed to keep people who aren't supposed to be inside it out, there is only one way to get through the barrier so make sure you have it being monitored, but other than that I don't think anyone in this world is capable of breaking through this barrier.
I kept the entrance the same as what it was before, the entrance is in the foothills of the nearby mountain, you just have to follow the stairs that have already been built in, and then you'll eventually find yourself past the barrier."
"Really? How does it work then?"
"Oh, it sort of separates the space from the inside of the barrier from the outside, basically making it impossible to damage whatever is inside of the barrier unless you break the entire barrier, or find a way to sneak in."
"I see, that sounds interesting. Maybe I can learn to do something similar with Limitless."
"Hmm, I don't think it's impossible, but it would definitely need a lot of practice. In my other world, a bunch of people can do something similar so it isn't super high tier."
"Hmm, I'm sort of seeing how it works with my Six Eyes, it's a bit hard to read how exactly you do what you do since it seems you use a different type of energy."
"Your Six Eyes really is a cheat you know?" Odin is a better cheat though.
"And yet I still can't quite understand what it is you're doing. And to think this doesn't even qualify for high tier for you. Man, I know I've told you this but your world is scary."
"Mhmm."
We then went and did the same thing at the Kyoto Jujutsu School.
"Alright, now that I'm done with that, might as well go get Nobara all fixed up now."
"Great! We've got her staying back at the Tokyo School so we have to go back there."
I instantly teleport us back to the Tokyo School, and follow Satoru to wherever Nobara is being kept.
Satoru also gave me a mini tour of the school, he knows this school pretty well as he teaches here. He showed me the classrooms, the isolation chamber where Yuji, and Yuta were being held for execution. The dormitory is rather nice, each student gets a fairly large room all to themselves.
Then Satoru also has a hidden room that no one with authority knows about, somewhere for him to hide out basically.
You could honestly call it a mancave.
It's still a nice ass school, though that's to be expected.
We eventually reached the infirmary.
"Hey, what's up Shoko!"
"Ugh, what do you want Satoru? And hello Felix-sama, Kurumi-sama."
Kurumi and I give her a wave. I'm pretty sure she's still traumatized by Raiden.
"Ah! If that's your reaction when seeing me, I'll be a bit hurt you know?"
"Ugh, I'm busy Satoru, what do you need?"
"Ha! Fine fine, party pooper. My buddy Felix here says he should be able to heal Nobara, so could you bring her on out?"
She raised her brow, "I see, I haven't been able to do anything for her as I'm not capable of healing souls, but it wouldn't be surprising if someone with different abilities like Felix-sama is able to heal her."
"My thoughts exactly, by the way are you cool with Megumi, and Yuji being here when you do your thing? Maybe it'll help cheer Megumi up?"
Is Megumi not feeling well or something? Well, I can't blame him, dude was possessed by a mass murderer, and then also would have ended up in a lifelong coma if I didn't have Odin heal him. Most people wouldn't be doing too good if they were in his situation either.
"Yeah sure, I don't mind."
"Great! Lemme call them real quick then."
I took a seat on the table as I waited for Yuji and Megumi to show up. I let my thoughts wander. Maybe I should summon a Daemon to watch over this world for me? They can make sure that nothing goes horribly wrong as well as monitor a few things for me.
It'll also help test my theory if summoning Daemons is even possible in another world, theoretically it should be, but realistically who knows?
I can't directly sense the Daemon Realm like I used to be able to in the Cardinal World, but that might just be because the Cardinal World was more deeply connected to Spiritual Worlds like the Elemental Realm, and the Daemon Realm.
I can pretty easily make a body for the Daemon to inhabit as well, hmm, I'll have to think about it.
I might just have to use a far greater amount of Magicules to summon a Daemon, and if that doesn't work I can still breach the gap with Planeswalker. The Daemon Realm is technically another world after all. In fact Odin is capable of using Ouroboros to sense a practically endless amount of dimensions, each with their own space-times.
I am capable of doing something similar myself, though I would need a lot of practice. After all just having an Ultimate Skill doesn't mean you have complete mastery over it.
Then there was the fact that according to Odin some dimensions' times were completely out of sync with the Cardinal World, though that only makes sense.
It seems the closer a dimension is to the Cardinal World, the more their times naturally align, though with my interference I changed that.
When it was explained to me it sounded incredibly headache inducing.
Now that I think about it, I could probably use Ouroboros with Odin's help to mess with multiple dimensions at once, with Magicule Breeder Reactor, and Odin who knows what my limit is? I seriously lucked out with my skill set.
Satoru took a seat on the table across from me, though he seemed to be ignoring the glare Shoko was sending his way.
"They should be here soon, they were just getting ready when I called them."
Hmm, it shouldn't be long at all then, most men don't take ages to get ready, and they also live on campus.
"So what's up with Megumi? You said he was having a case of depresso espresso?"
"Ahaha, I wonder how he would react if he heard that, but yeah, ever since Sukuna killed his sister, with his body and Cursed Technique he's been pretty depressed. Hell the entire reason Sukuna probably did it was in order to break Megumi's will."
…. Well I didn't know that. Fucking Sukuna. Maybe I should just kill him? But that would be a waste of resources, plus he'd be basically a different person, I think?
Sukuna you're really making it hard to justify your continued existence.
Eh, it should be fine, not like anyone will know. I think being basically mindraped by Odin is enough punishment, or maybe not? Whatever.
"Well… that's something."
"Yup."
The awkward silence was broken with the entrance of both Yuji and a depressed Megumi.
Yuji gave me an excited wave "Hey Felix-sama! I heard you're able to heal Kugisaki! Is that true?!"
"Well, I'll at the very least try to."
"That's enough for me. Ah! I didn't see you there Kurumi-sama, hello!" My man is way too excited, even Kurumi is looking at him oddly, and she has a fox face right now.
Still she waved her paw at him.
"Ah, I forgot to introduce you, Felix-sama, this is Fushiguro! Fushiguro, this is Felix-sama! The guy who saved you and beat up Sukuna! And that is Kurumi-sama his… pet? I'm not sure what their relationship is, but she calls herself his pet."
Megumi gave me a bow as he said , "Nice to meet you Felix-sama, Kurumi-sama. Thank you for your help with Sukuna and getting me my body back." Though I felt like his heart wasn't fully in it. He was grateful for sure, but that didn't change the fact that he felt upset, or sad about something.
Most likely his sister's death.
I remember it was said that he was really close to his sister. I'd offer to bring his sister back, but from what I heard she's dead dead, as in her soul has passed on, and her body was dealt with. Not much I can do about that. I do sense a Spiritual Realm of sorts, which is most likely the afterlife of this world, it isn't too surprising that such a thing exists, after all it was said that when Yuta released Rika from his curse that's where she went. But I don't really want to mess with that too much for obvious reasons.
I wonder if my mother is up there? Hopefully she's doing good wherever she is.
She was a good mom.
I'll have to visit her grave.
"No problem, I was curious about the King of Curses, that's all. It doesn't hurt that he's a shithead either."
Satoru giggled as he said, "I wonder how he would react to being called that."
"That would be funny indeed. From what I got of his personality he'd probably praise someone for having the balls to insult him, but then behead them right after."
"That sounds about right."
"Are they always like this?" Asked Megumi
"Aha, yeah I forgot to tell you that Gojo-sensei, and Felix-sama are related so they get along pretty well!"
"Ah, is that so? He seemed familiar but it must be nothing." What a lackluster response. Dude is deep into his depression, maybe a prank will cheer him up? That or make him hate me, oh well, it sounds like something fun to do later.
Still, he said I looked familiar?
'Notice, it is likely that the individual known as Megumi is the one that the girl the Master saved the day he died in this world was calling out. The girl looks similar to the sister of Megumi Fushiguro shown in your memories.'
'Ah what the fuck! What kind of coincidence is that! That must be like a less than 1% chance kind of thing!'
'The Master is correct, the possibility of such a thing is infinitesimally small.'
Man, so I saved his sister from taking a potentially life threatening hit, but she ended up dying later on anyway? She must have some really horrible luck.
I looked at Megumi as I said, "You said I looked familiar? By any chance are you the Megumi that girl was calling out to when I got hit by that vehicle?"
Megumi's eyes widened as he said, "No way?!"
"I'll take that as a yes then."
Yuji looked clueless, but Satoru seemed to figure it out. He is Megumi's guardian last I remember so it makes sense that he knows about that incident.
"Ha! When we did a DNA test on you since you looked so much like a Gojo we were so confused, to think that was you!" So they did a DNA test on me huh? That makes sense, Satoru would have probably gotten involved since the incident was related to one of his charges, and then on top of that I look like a Gojo.
"Man, what a coincidence! So you're the guy that saved Megumi's sister and died huh Felix?!"
"It seems so, dang, the odds of that are super low."
Megumi gave me a perfect 90° bow and said, "Thank you for saving my sister!"
"Haha, it's no problem, honestly I'm happy with the way things turned out, I'm not sure if Yuji told you, but it's thanks to that death that I've been having the time of my life." Who knows if I would have been reincarnated if my life reached its natural conclusion, and even if I did the time period may be off, I may be reborn long after Rimuru even founded Tempest.
All the relationships I've built likely won't happen the same way, basically everything would be different. I probably wouldn't be absolutely overpowered either. That situation is definitely not something that I want.
That's if my life even reached its natural conclusion. With all those Cursed Spirits that were running around I might have gotten killed by one of those. My interference in the fight between Satoru and Sukuna may have even saved Satoru's life, who knows if he was prepared for Sukuna to cut through 'Infinity' like he did.
"Still, thank you very much! It's thanks to you that I've got to spend many more years with her!" Ah, now I'd feel bad if I pranked him too hard, dude is beyond grateful. Which I guess makes sense, but still.
Hmm, since Megumi was involved, maybe he knows what happened with my body.
"Alright alright, your thanks is accepted, but do you know what happened to my old body?" It's probably been decomposing, but maybe my bones are still around. I wonder what I could do with them? If this was a far more spiritual world I'm sure my old body could be used to curse me or something, but thankfully that isn't possible.
Still, maybe I can put my old skeleton to use, maybe make an autonomous golem out of it. It just seems super badass, having my former skeleton guarding my bedroom or something back in the Cardinal World.
Or maybe I'm slowly going insane?
I wonder if a bone golem made from my bones would have Magic Circuits? They probably would seeing as they won't be capable of channeling magic without them. Magic Circuits are basically a pseudo circulatory system found in basically all majin and Spiritual Lifeforms, including me. For normal Humans, and Demi-Humans their magical power is stored and circulated through their blood, but us magical and Spiritual Beings are a bit different due to our abnormal physiques, we have Magic Circuits to circulate our magic power through our bodies.
It's even theoretically possible to interfere with someone's circuits with curses and an advanced level of Fighting Spirit which basically stops them from using Magicules in most cases. I don't need to worry about that though, harming my Magic Circuits is nigh impossible unless someone has the magic power to do so. I have an absurd amount of magic power constantly circulating throughout my body, in order to interfere with that someone has to be able to withstand, basically all my power.
Now I'm curious, I should definitely look into that.
Still, my earlier plan of using my old skeleton only works if I wasn't cremated, which is generally the standard for Japanese burials.
I should definitely ask Megumi or Satoru what happened to my body.
Satoru is the one who responds, "Hmm? We had your body cremated and buried next to your mother."
Ah, well there goes that plan, my dreams of having a golem made out of my former body have been destroyed before they can even truly take off. Well at least my body was treated properly.
"Ah, I see, thanks."
He waved me off, "All good, it's the least I could've done."
Now that that's over I clapped and said, "Now let's get this started, I don't need anything beyond myself to fix up Nobara so bring her on out!"
"I'll go get her for you Felix-sama, could you help me Yuji-kun?" said Shoko
Yuji gave a salute, "Yes ma'am!"
As I waited for them to bring her out I continued to chat with Satoru while ignoring the aura of gloom Megumi was giving out. Honestly a Cursed Spirit might be born from him at this point.
I noticed Megumi was about to try and say something, but it looked like he changed his mind, now that won't do.
"What were you trying to tell me Megumi?"
He looked surprised that I caught him, though he really shouldn't be so surprised.
He shook his head, "It's nothing."
"Now you've got me interested, what is it? I won't stop bugging you until you tell me."
I heard him mumble something about me being like Satoru but I ignored that.
"Fine, I wanted to know how you got so strong. I watched the video of your fight with Sukuna, if it could even be called a fight, it looked like you were practically toying with him."
I tilted my head and considered his question. I guess it makes sense that he wants to know how to get stronger, he just got possessed by this world's boogeyman, said boogeyman then killed his sister with his power with him helpless to stop him.
It would make sense that Megumi is more focused on obtaining more power, though Megumi's greatest asset, Mahoraga is gone permanently.
If I remember correctly, when a Shikigami of the Ten Shadows Technique dies, they cannot come back. Without Mahoraga Megumi probably won't even be able to match Geto, though it might be possible if he trains his ass off, however at this point Satoru is out of his league completely.
He still might be capable of making it to Special Grade though, which I assume is the level of strength he wants to achieve.
"Well just like everyone else, I trained and got some lucky opportunities." Now that I think about it, Fortunate One had a lot to do with how lucky I got, meeting Milim at that exact time and evolving. Then there was thankfully the barrier around Tempest that prevented the souls from leaving allowing Rimuru and I to bring everyone back to life.
And then I'm sure there were some more subtle things that 'Fortunate One' has done that I have not noticed.
"Ah, that doesn't help me at all."
"Haha, well what you want to know isn't an easy answer. Strength isn't easy to obtain for those not born with it." There are those who are born strong, like Satoru was, at least concerning this world. Then there are the Primordial Daemons, born at the top of the Daemon hierarchy until I showed up, and I'm sure the Primordial Angels are similar.
Hell there is the fucking True Dragons, they are by default at the top of the world basically, their very existence allows them to compete against those with Ultimate Skills even if they themselves don't have one.
Even I was born as an incredibly strong Lesser Daemon with enough power to destroy multiple villages. And once I became a Greater Daemon and copied the old man's Skills I would be basically invincible in this world. Spatial Severing is basically the direct counter to Infinity after all.
But even though my ascension to my current level of power happened in a relatively quick period, it was by no means easy, even if Milim's naming, and my Harvest Festival were key to my strength.
I trained my ass off back in the Demon Realm, sparred with Milim all the time after I met her, I always tried to obtain new Skills, and then I had to massacre thousands of people and use their souls as fuel to ascend myself.
It might not be the most conventional method of getting stronger when compared to some of the methods in other worlds, as far as I know there isn't any sort of evolutions or Skills available in other worlds like there is in the Cardinal World. The only reason I was able to acquire Skills, and evolve in the Daemon Realm was due to its metaphysical connection to the Cardinal World. I imagine it is the same for other worlds connected to the Cardinal World as well.
However there is still one thing I think is in common with every single person who manages to reach a level that can be called strong is willpower.
You can evolve Skills through pure willpower, beat someone mightier than you with willpower, and handle grueling training through willpower. In the end willpower is key.
"It might sound corny, but one of the most essential things is willpower, with enough willpower as long as you are smart you can become incredibly strong. Now your options might be limited as you don't have access to your ace, Mahoraga anymore, but you have plenty of other Shikigami in your arsenal. I remember Sukuna was able to use the abilities of your Shikigami himself, for example he made that beam of water. Start trying to learn that."
"Ah… that also doesn't help me at all except for the last part." Ah, maybe I'm not cut out for teaching then?
I waved him off, "Well that's what you're going to get from me."
"Sigh, just like Gojo."
"Well I am his cousin."
I heard a door open, and out came Yuji, and Shoko. They were rolling a bed of some sort, that must be Nobara. They covered her with a cloth from head to toe, which makes sense if there is a gaping hole in her head.
They set her to the side as I approached her, Satoru, Yuji, Megumin, and Shoko were all paying attention to what I was doing.
I analyzed her, it seems she was injured by Mahito, the very shape of her soul was changed, but I should be able to fix that up with Miracle Level Holy Magic.
I removed the cloth from her face, she was missing a decent chunk of the left side of her face, including her eye. That must have hurt without Pain Nullification.
It seems she's completely nude under the cloth as well, though I'm not going to peek, I have standards after all.
Now how should I do this? I could use a potion to heal her physical body, and then use the Holy Magic Spell Resurrection to bring her back fully and heal her soul. Though it might be better to use the Spell Regeneration rather than a potion, I may have a bunch of potions but that doesn't mean I want to waste them.
'Notice, the Holy Magic Spell Resurrection also fully heals the target as well as bringing them back from the dead if their soul is still present, the Master only needs to use 'Resurrection' to bring the individual known as Nobara back.'
'Ah, I see thanks Odin, I was never super big on Holy Magic.'
I gathered the Holy Power through my connection as 'god' with my subordinates, without such a thing it would be much harder for me to use Holy Power as I am a Demonic being.
I set my hand on her heart and manipulate the spiritrons around us, "Resurrection."
And then in front of our eyes Nobara regenerated the missing chunk of her face.
"Woah!" Yuji seemed surprised, but still happy.
"No way!" While Megumi was just looking on in shock.
"Ah, I knew you could do it Felix." Thank you for the vote of confidence Satoru!
"Hmm, the regeneration itself looks similar to that of 'Reverse Cursed Technique'."
They all watched with bated breaths as Nobara slowly opened her eyes.
"Ah, hey guys?"
Yuji tackled her with a hug, "Kugisaki!"
Megumi looked extremely shocked, though he looked like he had some hope in his eyes, maybe in regards to his sister?
I better get rid of that before it festers, it would be needlessly cruel to allow him to think I can bring her back at this point.
I put my hand on his shoulder, "This method only worked because she was still technically alive, her soul hadn't yet passed on so drop whatever you're thinking."
His head drooped down a bit, "I see."
I looked towards Satoru, "Well now that my job is done I'm going to go have some fun!"
He gave me a thumbs up, "Alright, please don't make me go broke! And thanks for healing Nobara up, I won't forget this favor."
"Haha, I'll try, and don't worry about it. Healing Nobara wasn't all that difficult."
"Now let's go pick up Raiden and go shopping! Hopefully she's done with whatever it is she's doing." Yeah Shoko is definitely traumatized if that very minute full body shiver when I mentioned Raiden is any indication. I gave Kurumi a pet as I was walking away,
Kurumi gave my cheek a lick which I assume is her way of saying yes.

Author's Note:
Hey guys, hope you enjoyed this chapter, not a lot of action, but Felix is still fucking shit up. We don't have much information of Nobara's situation, but according to the wiki, the guy who stopped her wounds from getting worse made it out alive, so I assume Nobara did as well, though she is still injured and has to deal with her injuries, and her soul being messed with by Mahito, which normally means death for her as no one can restore her soul back to what it is.
Anyways, Felix was able to help her out, after all who says he can't be a nice Demon Lord once in a while?
I'm hoping to wrap up the Jujutsu Kaisen arc in a few chapters, but who knows how that's going to go.
Anyways, see you guys next time!
