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

"What the Fuck?!" 

Ryomen Sukuna could only watch as his prey escaped once again, although it seems that it was a surprise even to him. 

"Again with this disappearing act?" He growled in annoyance, turning around to survey the entirety of the Shibuya District to find any trace of him.

"He couldn't have gotten very far, even I would struggle to heal that much Damage. And even if he managed to use his Cursed Technique for a moment, he must have used a Binding Vow to do so. So he must be hiding out nearby." The King deduced, knowing what he should do next.

"I wonder if he would show himself if I go slaughter his 'Friends'..." He muttered under his breath, starting to walk away in the direction he felt Humans.

However, it was then that Ryomen Sukuna felt the Earth Beneath him Shudder. He then felt a ginormous Spike in Cursed Energy flow in from behind him causing him to turn around and look at what it was.

'That Cursed Energy, it's his! But… Why is it Skyrocketing so high?! It's nearing mine at 15 Fragments of my Soul!' 

"Yo!"

"Huh?"

The voice came from a puddle of black nothingness, two arms emerged from the void first before Megumi Fushiguro's entire body shot out of it and landed before him with a grin as wide as his face would allow.

"It's been a bit, you missed me?"

Sukuna looked him up and down, all the injuries he had on his body were all healed completely. Considering it had been less than 15 seconds since he had been inside his shadow and his Cursed Technique Burn Out, there's no way he could have used his Deer Incarnation to heal.

"...The Reverse Cursed Technique, you learned it in that much time?" 

"I got some advice from a friend… It was so simple as soon as my mind cleared up! So this is what you lucky bastards felt the entire time?! THIS IS FUCKING MAGNIFICENT! AHAHAHAHAHA!!" Megumi shouted, his hand reached for his head and started scratching at it like a maniac.

'...He's High?!' Sukuna thought, watching as his opponent started digging into his own flesh with his fingers, with the damage being healed as soon as it was created.

"Ehehehehehe… I've made my choice! I'm not gonna settle for just waiting out the timer until Yuji comes back! I've decided, I'm going to kill you. Even while you're inside Yuji's body. I will kill you and rip out your heart. After that I'm going to revive him, just because I can!"

Hearing the Awakened Sorcerer's Insane Rambling, the King of Curses found a sense of amusement overwhelming him. 

"That's some amount of Bravado you're spitting, Boy!  Even if you have access to the Reversed Cursed Technique, you must still be having trouble with your Cursed Technique." Sukuna pointed out, reaching to make his Domain Hand sign as he did, although all it did was make his opponent grin with Malice.

"You can't use your Domain to defend yourself, not that you could even hope to match my Open Domain with your mediocre Refinement. So just sit still and-!" 

The King's declaration was cut short when he had to move his hand away from the Domain hand signs to protect himself from two viper-like hands that went for his neck. Their hands locked together, and to his utter shock, Sukuna found himself struggling to match his opponent's physical strength.

"Bold of you to think I'll allow you to use it whenever you want!" 

Sukuna growled in rage as both their feet dug into the ground beneath them, the concrete shattered and cracked in the wake of their overwhelming power. The cracks didn't stop there as they ran along the ground, causing the earth to split apart into fragments as if an earthquake was formed from their struggle.

The King of Curses gritted his teeth and sent Cleaves flowing down the offending limbs, causing blood to spurt out of them like geysers. He expected Megumi to flinch or let go but to his shock, he only gripped his hand harder.

And when he looked into his opponent's eyes, he saw only Giddiness within them watched on with a mixture of fascination and surprise as Golden Rings were Burned into the Crimson Red eyes, a hauntingly familiar look.

'That's the Deer Incarnation, but his Cursed Energy didn't spike like it did when he did it before! A Spontaneous Mutation through Stress?! This Fucking Bastard is Growing Stronger with every second that passes!'

Sukuna recoiled as both of his opponent's arms began to be healed just as fast as they were damaged, each cut he created with his Cleaves burned alight with Whitish Gold Positive Energy before closing up completely and leaving behind only steam.

Indeed, due to the conditions for the Tranquil Deer being matched and the stress applied to Megumi Fushiguro's body; a Mutation has spontaneously manifested. 

The new Mutation did one thing and one thing only, it significantly enhanced his burgeoning Reverse Cursed Technique's Efficiency and Effectiveness, causing them both to all but double in each category. 

"Hehehehe.. WHY SO SCARED, SUKUNA?! I DON'T BITE, COME CLOSER TO THE BODY YOU WANTED!" Megumi shouted with insanity before pulling the King of Curses towards himself and Headbutting him so hard it created a shockwave which shattered all nearby glass.

The two of them were separated from the force of the impact, they looked at each other for a moment before Megumi started giggling like a madman again.

The black haired man grabbed his own head as a grunt of pain escaped his mouth, Sukuna rushed ahead to take advantage of the opening and stop whatever he was planning. However, he had to swerve to the side at the last second to avoid a swipe from a giant bladed arm.

The Divine General Mahoraga made his appearance on the battlefield once again, causing Sukuna to baulk in confusion. He heard Megumi's insane giggling reverberate throughout the broken fractured battleground once again.

"EheheHAHAAHA! Ohh, the exquisite Pain! It's almost Blinding!" He shouted as he moved his hand off his face, revealing blood streaming down his eyes as if he was crying.

"You… You destroyed your own brain and healed it with your Reverse Cursed Technique to force your Burn Out to heal?! You Insane Bastard! HAHAHA!" Sukuna called out, though he was starting to laugh more than he was being angered by the turn of events.

'Am I.. Am I having fun with this brat?!' He questioned himself incredulously.

"Call me Impatient or Greedy if ya want, but waiting for it to clear on its own was boring! Now then.. Let's continue our fight shall we – But first! Let's do this…" Megumi announced.

The Lord of Shadows snapped finger near the top of his head, his shadow expanding and shockingly letting Mahoraga sink into it, leaving behind his wheel to float to the top of his Master's Head.

[Image (In Discord)]

'I haven't perfected that form yet, so this'll have to do for now. I will be taking the Burden of Adaptation for Mahoraga, only two more Adaptations needed after all!' He thought as his cursed energy spiked once more as he channelled an Incarnation, bone gauntlets forming over his arms from his Piercing Ox Incarnation.

"Hey old man, you should know that my Great Serpent normally has Paralytic Venom but what do you suppose would happen if I were to create said Shikgami with Positive Energy instead?" He then asked with a grin.

Sukuna watched on with intrigue as a small serpent formed from Megumi's back and reached up to his neck before he answered.

"A Paralytic would then become like an Adrenaline Shot." He commented, recalling a lesson he was forced to listen into with Yuji.

"BINGO!" Megumi shouted as the Serpent bit into his neck, causing some of his veins to temporarily turn green as his entire body began heating up in response to the Venom of the Serpent which was enhanced due to his revealing of the Cursed Technique Reversal.

"Nghh… Alright then… LET'S DANCE!"

Megumi's eyes burned with a Goldish Crimson supernatural light as he squeezed his legs for all their power before he shot forwards leaving behind only shattered rubble in his wake. He and Sukuna met in the middle, with him attacking first.

He came in with an elbow to the solar plexus which was swiftly deflected with a backhand, Sukuna led back in with his other hand to go for a haymaker to the face which was blocked at the last second Megumi's other hand.

The Shade Lord's leg crashed into Sukuna's abdomen to push him away before he sprinted at him again like a Rabid Animal, each and every one a Killing Blow thrown with 110% of his Adrenaline Boosted power.

"What's this? You're actually going for the Kill here?!" Sukuna questioned as he pushed back while blocking his opponent's fevered strikes.

"You thought I would hold back because you're in Yuji's Body?! I DON'T CARE, I'M JUST GONNA FUCKING KILL YOU!!"

"Hah! GOOD!"

The King of Curses grinned at the Shade Lord's proclamation as they then got faster, each one of their exchanges causing the buildings around them to shudder from the vibration. 

The Lord of Shadows growled at seeing that the exchange was not ending with his opponent dead any time soon, he slammed his hand to the ground as then Shadows Flooded outwards before releasing Dozens- No, Hundreds of Abyssal Colossal Serpents that shot forwards with intent to tear their Master's Prey to shreds.

Sukuna smirked before jumping into the air, the tidal wave of shadows flooded upwards through the air in order to get to him. With a maniacal laugh he pointed his arms downwards towards the hundreds of Abyssal Serpent and chanted on repeat.

"DISMANTLE! DISMANTLE! DISMANTLE! DISMANTLE!"

The Colossal hoard of Malformed Shadow Serpents were all shredded apart, every one of their outstretched maws were reduced to nothingness so quickly that they weren't even regenerated.

As the King of Curses cut apart the last Serpent, he had to desperately bring his arms towards his face to block a haymaker going for his head as the Shade Lord was revealed to have been using them as a distraction to get close.

Sukuna blocked the first fist but not the second as it snuck past his arms and dug into his abdomen, it was followed by yet another haymaker to the King of Curse's face which was not blocked – His face was crushed inwards from the force of the impact of Megumi's face.

However Sukuna was not one to be taken lightly as he gritted his teeth and cleaved apart Megumi's gut, cutting into his flesh and organs but was ignored as the Lord of Shadows simply did not care, activating his Reverse Cursed Technique at full power to simply force his way through the damage and pain.

A shockwave reverberated through the atmosphere as Sukuna was sent flying even further upwards, the Shade Lord Growled and shouted at his opponent while his legs tensed up.

"GET BACK HERE!"

Cursed Energy sparked at his feet before exploding and sending him flying upwards without the need for his wings. The King of Curses who had just recovered, sent Dismantles and noted that his opponent wasn't slowing down but Speeding up as he flew towards him.

The Ability of his Piercing Ox Incarnation worked overdrive, increasing his Cursed Energy Output to Insane levels which he used to power through the Dismantles and Spike Sukuna down towards another building with both hands smashing down at him.

Despite being overpowered and smashed through a building, the King of Curses laughed as it was the most fun he had in centuries. Grunting slightly, he pulled himself up to his feet and went to go back on the offence when he was instantly met with a Fire Extinguisher to his face which was cleaved away.

However, he had not considered the explosion of white foam which scattered outwards at the point of impact and blinded his field of view.

"THAT'S WHY YOU OLD BASTARDS SHOULD STAY IN THE HEIAN ERA!" 

Sukuna wasn't able to react in time before a bone clad fist emerged from the white cloud and struck him with a devastating uppercut to the jaw, the force of which sent him flying upwards into the guts of the building which quaked and crumbled from their battle.

When he emerged from the collapsing building, he was met with several Dismantles flying in his direction. But instead of dodging, he simply crossed his armoured arms in front of him and shot upwards where Sukuna was gliding down.

The Dismantles dug into his body, but were all ignored completely as he didn't flinch from them in the slightest and met the Demon in the middle of the Sky.

The Lord of Shadows and the King of Curses both laughed like maniacs while pulling back their arms, although they were both in the middle of the air and fighting for their lives, both didn't seem to care in the slightest as that threat only caused them to get even more excited.

"COME ON MEGUMI FUSHIGURO, KEEP SHOWING ME MORE!"

"STAND STILL AND I'LL EVEN SHOW YOU MY COCK OLD MAN!"

Sparks of Black flowed their arms as they shot them forwards, neither had any idea of dodging the other's attack, it was as if they had made an unspoken agreement through a Shared Madness. Their grins didn't move an inch even as the other's fist crashed into their face.

"BLACK FLASH!" "BLACK FLASH!"

Black Lightning sparked throughout the Shibuya Skyline, painting the entire District in its Red and Black hues. The Lightning sparked further and further, reaching throughout the entirety of Shibuya skies and causing everyone to stop and gaze upon its Sheer Glory.

"WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT?!!" 

Ryomen Sukuna's stolen face was crushed inwards from the force of Megumi's Piercing Ox enhanced Black Flash while Megumi Fushiguro's face was torn apart as the King of Curse's had layered his fist with Cleaves right after the impact of his own Black Flash.

The two of them struggled together for a moment, switching positions mid air as Black Lightning continued sparking between them before they were each sent flying away from each other and crashed into opposing buildings, causing each one to collapse in their wake.

They both merged a few moments later, with Sukuna standing atop the rubble of the building and Megumi simply exploding it away with a flick of his arm. He then chuckled lightly in amusement as he watched how much Property Damage occurred from that single exchange.

"How much do you think it's gonna cost to fix this city after you're done throwing this tantrum?" The Shade Lord asked jokingly, rubbing his smirking face as it was mending together with his potent Reverse Cursed Technique.

"HAH! You did a lot of the damage here, you know? How Greedy can you be?" The King of Curses pointed out, a grin similarly covered his face which was also mended back into shape as he spoke.

The two of them stared at each other for a moment before raising both their hands into their own Domain Hand Sign, it seems that Void and Shrine shall meet again.

And it was then that Cracks began forming upon the Chains holding onto the Shade Lord's Soul and Will – For at the Very Height of their battle, He Had Finally Come to Terms with Something.

An Epiphany of the Strongest.

'Yes, he's right.. I am Greedy. In every part of my life, I have prioritised my Wants before everything else no matter the Cost to Others around me. I Wanted to Meet Toji. I Wanted My Control over Jujutsu HQ and the Zen'in Clan. I Wanted Friends to Hit a Black Flash. I Needed Tsumiki to Be Free. I Needed To Be The Strongest!'

CRACK!

'If Sukuna is the 'Incarnation of Carnage' and Kenjaku is the 'Incarnation of Gluttony', then I must be the 'Incarnation of Greed'.' 

Megumi Fushiguro had reached a conclusion within his own mind, a Revelation or a Resignation. But in either case, he knew that something very Intrinsic within his Soul had changed. 

He knew that he had come to a Critical Understanding.

CRACK!

And he was Correct.

As the only ones throughout all of Jujutsu History who were able to Achieve the Peak of Jujutsu Mastery and obtain an Open Domain Barrier –

SHATTER!

– Are those with an Overwhelming Sense of Self, and a Complete Disregard for Others... 

Natural Disasters. 

"DOMAIN EXPANSION: CHIMERA SHADOW GARDEN!"

"DOMAIN EXPANSION: MALEVOLENT SHRINE!"

A colossal, branched Spinal Column shot up from Megumi's shadow, reaching up towards the skies followed by a rush of inky nothingness flooding the marred battlefield right as Void Fruits sprouted from its branches. While on the other hand, a Demonic Shrine formed behind Sukuna, its depraved visage painting the skies a Crimson Red.

To Ryomen Sukuna's complete and utter shock, no barrier formed from either side of the battlefield. It was the first time in his Millenia of Experience that he met another who had achieved the same feat that he and Kenjaku had achieved.

"Y-You made it barrierless? You actually Grasped the Core of Domains?!" The King of Curses shouted out with pure and utter excitement, he had never been this ecstatic in centuries.

"What, you think you Fossils are the only ones who can do things like that?! YOU THINK YOU'RE SPECIAL OR SOME SHIT?!" The Lord of Shadows shouted right back with vitriol and giddiness that his epiphany had been correct.

What Megumi Fushiguro had Understood was the Core of Jujutsu, Complete and Utter Egoism and Madness.

And that Understanding Broke the Chains Holding Unto his Will as a Sorcerer.

Normally, Domain Expansions work by cutting out a corner of the world for your own will, a Domain where you rule over as God. 

A Great Feat to be sure, but not the Peak of Sorcerery in the slightest.

To cast an Open Barriered Domain is to Paint Upon the Air Itself, to Deem Yourself as Divine. As One who is Selfish enough to Deserve to Conqueror the very Fabric of Reality Itself.

This was The Truth which Satoru Gojo Could Never Reach nor Accept.

To utilise an Open Domain Expansion required a Spark of Selfishness, Madness and Insanity.

One Which Satoru Gojo could Never Grasp, for he Always gave Everything for those Lesser than Him. 

He always Fought for those Lesser Than Him. 

And He Died for those Lesser Than Him.

This was the Spark of Selfish Madness that Satoru Gojo could Never Grasp.

The Very Same Spark which Megumi Fushiguro had Infused Within the Very Core of his Being!

And to that? 

Ryomen Sukuna felt Joy and Excitement like no other, after Millenia of waiting for someone to challenge him. 

He had Finally Found Him, the One who will give him the Fight he has Craved for his Entire Existence.

The One Who Will Satisfy Him. 

"AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! I APOLOGISE FOR UNDERESTIMATING YOU, MEGUMI FUSHIGURO! I DIDN'T KNOW YOU WERE CAPABLE OF REACHING THESE HEIGHTS!!" 

Both fighters then noticed something unexpected, with no Barriers to Clash, a Domain Clash never began. Both of their Sure-Hit effects were active and ready to be used.

Sukuna laughed with overwhelming joy at the discovery as Kenjaku, who was the only person to grasp this Never Dared to enter a Domain Clash with him.

'So Open Domains can't enter a Domain Clash together and both Sure-Hits are free to apply on each side?! How Truly Exhilarating! When was the last time I was able to learn more about Jujutsu?!'

The King of Curse's excitement at finding out more about Jujutsu was palpable, causing him to laugh even harder before activating his Sure-Hit, expecting his opponent to activate his own. 

But Megumi Fushiguro didn't use his Domain's Sure-Hit, he didn't Care. He could still feel yet another Epiphany sparking through his Mind, he just needed a Catalyst.

Pain.

The Lord of Shadows Stood still as Cleaves and Dismantles dug into his body, shredding it apart in a Shower of Blood.

Pain.

"Ah.. Yes.. It was really me All Along wasn't it?" He muttered as he looked down at his shredded hand, even as his Body was grinded to mulch by Sukuna's 'Malevolent Shrine', the blinding Agony flowing into his body served only to guide his mind. 

PAIN.

To Steel his Will onto a new Path of his Almost Endless Evolution.

PAIN!

And it was then, that Megumi Fushiguro had Achieved yet another Realisation.

An Epiphany through Bloodshed.

"The Only Limitation here is Me. The Only Thing that Truly matters is my Own Interpretation, huh…?" He whispered as his body began mending itself faster and faster, each Cut was Burned Alight with Whitish Gold before being closed an Instant Later.

"Incarnation: Tranquil Deer – Times Ten!"

CLINK

Ryomen Sukuna watched on in horror as the Lord of Shadows began walking straight through his Domain Expansion.

Whitish Gold Positive Energy flooded throughout his body like a Broken Dam as his Wounds Closed Faster than the King's Cleaves and Dismantles could hope to inflict them, it was something he had never thought he would witness in his entire lifetime.

"How the Fuck-?" Sukuna muttered under his breath but his breath hitched as a bloodied hand appeared at his face before he could even blink.

"AHAHAHAHAHAHA!! THIS IS THE GREATEST HIGH I'VE EVER FELT IN MY ENTIRE FUCKING LIFE! I'M FUCKING INVINCBLE!!"

Megumi Fushiguro Cackled with Insanity as he clutched Sukuna's face and began Sprinting forwards as fast as he could, crashing into a Building while using the King of Curses as his wrecking ball.

CRASH!

Sukuna grasped his assaulter's abdomen and started applying his Sure-Hit along with personally sending Cleaves into Megumi's body with his own hands at full Output. He even used a Binding Vow to not Target anything else with his Sure-Hit to enhance its effect.

Yet to his Horror, although most of the clothing on his body was shredded to nothing and his Bare Flesh was reduced to Mulch, revealing the skeleton and organs within for split seconds – Megumi Fushiguro was Completely and Utterly Unphased.

For as Long as the 'Times Ten' Tranquil Deer Incarnation is Activated, Megumi Fushiguro was Effectively Immortal!

The building they crashed into crumbled apart in their wake as Megumi dragged Sukuna face first into yet another one while beginning to laugh even harder.

Insanity would be too weak a word to describe what he said next.

"DON'T YOU GET IT YOU FRAUD?!" 

Another building was reduced to rubble as Megumi began speeding up, his Cursed Energy Output and Physical Strength beginning to spike higher and higher from his Piercing Ox Incarnation even as Sukuna kept slashing into him with the combined power of his Domain and personally Outputted Cleaves.

RUMBLE! 

"COMPARED TO MY 'TEN SHADOWS', YOUR 'SHRINE' IS TRASH!!"

CLINK

The Divine General Mahoraga has Completed his Adaptation to Ryomen Sukuna's 'Cleave' and 'Dismantle'.

The King of Curses growled in pain and rage as he was forcefully used as a battering ram to fell yet another building, this time the Lord of Shadows had emerged from its top.

RUMBLE! CRASH!

Uncaring of yet another Building be reduced to Rubble and Dust from his Rampage, Megumi wound back his arm and shouted out a final Humiliation before throwing his opponent down at the Ground.

"NEXT TIME, STAY IN THE KITCHEN AND MAKE ME A SANDWICH!!"

Ryomen Sukuna crashed down towards the earth like a comet, he was spiked downwards towards the ground and shot specifically into his Shrine. The Anchor of Sukuna's 'Malevolent Shrine' was reduced to rubble as its master crashed down on it, dissolving the Domain Expansion.

Megumi chuckled, feeling his 'High' finally fade away before he deactivated his own Domain. He noted that his 'Times Ten' Incarnation faded away along with it as it was only possible within range of his Domain since he was utilising the copied essence of his shikigami to form it.

He crashed down at the ground in front of his opponent, his impact had levelled the area around him into a crater. He then took a moment to look around at the destruction and havoc they had wrecked with their battle. Everything within 150 Metres of the Shibuya Crossing was reduced to rubble and dust.

"Hah… Yeah, I don't think they'll buy the 'Sukuna did it' excuse…" Megumi rubbed the back of head, noticing the building he had sent Sukuna flying through break down into rubble a few seconds after he spoke.

"...Whoops?"

"You 'think'? I'm pretty sure you broke more of those buildings than I did." 

Megumi swerved his head back at where Sukuna was, finding the King of Curses to be back on his feet. His body was being mended before his very eyes, although he was rubbing his neck as it seemed to be aching the most.

"Well, they'll have to forgive me. I suppose that Adrenaline Boost really got to my head at the end there, I was feeling pretty high." The black haired man said with a grin, he was almost happy that his opponent had recovered from that rush.

"No, it wasn't the Boost. You're just fucked in the head." Sukuna asserted as his face was completely put back together, although he had taken significant damage the King of Curses didn't seem to care in the slightest as all he felt was Joy and Giddiness.

"Heh, maybe so! Either way… Shall we get to the part where I crush you? With This Treasure I Summon, the Divine General Mahoraga." The Lord of Shadows chanted under his breath as the now fully Adapted Shikigami was summoned to end the battle.

Although he was taken off guard when Sukuna chuckled at his words.

"HAH! As much as I'd love to see you try, it looks like the Brat has finally got his shit back together enough to take back control. So it seems our final bout will have to be delayed for later." He said, he could feel his Host begin to stir and grab back control over his body.

Sukuna then felt a Pulse shoot from the depths of his Soul as his Stolen limbs lost all their power, his Tattoos beginning to fade away soon after.

"Oh.. Bummer…" Megumi muttered as he walked towards Sukuna while willing Mahoraga to be unsummoned, he was feeling kind of disappointed that his chance to beat Sukuna completely was taken from him at the last moment.

"Trust me, no one is more disappointed than I am. Fucking Brat had to interfere…" Sukuna growled, his words beginning to slur at the end before he went unconscious for a second.

Megumi caught the falling body of his friend as a moment later, the eyes of Itadori Yuji flew open.

"What the Hell?! WHERE AM I?! M-Megumi?! Where'd you come from? What happened?" Yuji questioned incessantly, obviously panicked from suddenly gaining control of his body again.

"You're fine, everything is fine. Sukuna got control for a while and I had to keep him contained, but he didn't manage to kill any people as far as I know." Megumi explained, reaching into his pocket and pulling out an earpiece before clicking a button on it.

"Mechamaru, check in. How's the Evacuation Status and do you have any confirmed KIA's from Sukuna's Rampage."

"No Sir, as far as I know, no one had died from Sukuna's escape. Although multiple sorcerers were injured and some curse users were killed, your evacuation plans had worked perfectly. 99% Evacuation of the Shibuya District has been confirmed." 

Yuji seemed incredibly relieved at hearing that his mistake hadn't cost any innocent people their lives, although his expression was steeled into that of Rage by the following words.

"Although Suguru Geto has been confirmed to be still occupied with waiting for the Prison Realm to process Satoru Gojo, the Disaster Curse known as Mahito had been spotted in the inner reaches of the Subway Station. That is where the last 1% of Civilians are located to my knowledge."

Itadori Yuji's fist clenched hard enough to turn his knuckles white, he was taken off guard when Megumi grabbed him by his shoulders before he was healed completely.

"You heard em, there's still people that need saving in that subway. That's where you need to go." The black haired man ordered as he finished healing his friend with his Reverse Cursed Technique.

"But what about you?" Yuji asked, feeling somewhat worried for his friend as he had just finished a fight to the death with Sukuna.

He watched as Megumi handed him the earpiece and walked off, leaning against a nearby wall he then slid down it with clear fatigue and sat down with a small groan.

"I'm gonna take a small nap, that fight took everything outta me I'm afraid. But don't mind me, Saving People is what you do Best ain't it? Go be a Hero." 

Itadori Yuji was silent for a moment, before he nodded his head and wore the earpiece.

"Got it, thanks Megumi! I won't let you down!" 

Megumi watched on as his friend shot ahead, guided by Mechamaru towards the last known location of Mahito. He knew it was a personal fight for him, so he wouldn't interfere. 

He reached into his shadow and pulled out yet another earpiece and placed it inside his head before speaking.

"Kokichi, make sure to guide Maki and Yuki Tsukumo towards where Suguru Geto is. We can't afford to let him escape with the Prison Realm while I'm under. Make sure to wake me in 10 minutes too." He ordered before closing his eyes.

"Copy that sir. And… Goodwork against Sukuna, that was quite the Battle. The Greatest One I've ever witnessed in fact."

"Well.. You could say it was an Enlightening Experience…" 

With that, Megumi Fushiguro drifted off to a short yet well deserved sleep.

The Clash of the Two Titans has permanently marred the battlefield of Shibuya, reducing it to a desolate wasteland. And the Victor between Ryomen Sukuna with 19 Fragments of his Soul and Megumi Fushiguro had been decided.

The Lord of Shadows had Achieved Victory.
