Meanwhile, just as this was transpiring, Lorien could be seen lying on the edge of a high-rising building five kilometers away from the scene eating away at the large popcorn cup that was placed right in front of him millimeters from the edge.

Taking small handfuls of popcorn and throwing them into his mouth causing a few to fall down the edge, Lorien couldn't help but smile seeing Kenjaku's reaction.

"Hahahha, That should be enough to wipe that smug smile off your face!"

"Perfect plan? there is no such thing as a perfect plan!"

Laughing happily, Lorien couldn't help but take another handful of popcorn and eat it which also somehow caused his thoughts to wander.

'I've been eating a lot of junk food lately, well, It doesn't matter much I guess, after all, the great thing about practicing and becoming stronger is that it's impossible to gain fat, otherwise, I would have gained at least 20kilos considering what I have been eating recently.'

Smiling at the thought, Lorien shook his head throwing it aside as he then turned his head back and asked.

"So, what do you think? Do you want to join in the fun?"

Hearing this question, Yuki who had just arrived, and Maki who had been summoned from Lorien's Domain a while ago fell silent as they watched the events unfold from the huge screen that Lorien had created to help them watch the show.

Digesting what had just happened, Maki couldn't help but glance at the other screen that was broadcasting Yuta's battle, a hint of hesitation flashing in her eyes.

'It seems that Yuta is in danger, should I go help?'

However, as she thought of this, she couldn't help but glance at Lorien before gritting her teeth and suppressing this idea.

'This guy is probably up to something again, I've been with him for a long enough time to understand that he usually goes after arrogant people, and Sukuna appears to be one of his targets.'

'So, instead of focusing here, I better go to...'

As she thought of her "family", Maki's eyes suddenly sharpened, resolve filling her heart as she then looked Lorien straight in the eyes and said.

"I want to go to the Zen'in clan estate, I want to end this before you launch the Dream Path."

Having been with him for a while, Maki had already understood Lorien's plan, moreover, she also understood that once the Dream Path is launched, all Jujutsu Sorcerers will be forcefully transformed into Dream Path Walkers which of course includes the Zan'in clan.

Understanding this, Maki wanted to end them before this happened as she knew more than anyone else the potential of this path and how things could quickly go south if that were to happen.

After all, god knows what kind of ability those annoying guys may awaken and what sort of reaction they'll have, so it's better to get rid of this hidden danger now and be done with it.

As for going to help her companions and then go after the Zen'in clan?

She had already thought of it but she knew that the Dream Path Plan would be launched at the end of this battle which means that she won't have time to go after her so-called "family" if she were to participate in this battle.

"Ohhh, want to go now? Don't you want to help your friends? they might die you know!"

"They'll be fine."

"Tsk, you are really no fun, but ahhh, free labor is free labor I guess, whatever, I'll send you!"

Saying this, Lorien then waved his hand using his power to send her close to where the Zen'in clan was located as he then turned his head towards Yuki.

However, without needing him to speak, Yuki already understood what he wanted to say as she just shook her hand and sat next to him taking a small handful of popcorn from the cup that Lorien was eating from.

"Nah, everything appears to be under control, I'll just stay here." She said throwing the popcorn into her mouth.

"You just want to be lazy."

"I never liked killing cursed spirits in the first place, why would I go now?"

"...You've got a point."

Shaking his head, Lorien decided to ignore this lazy girlfriend of his and turned his attention towards Yuta, after all, there was the risk of sleeping on the couch tonight if he were to force her to go.

'Well, things are going to be interesting if they proceed as I have predicted, after all, I sense a familiar object on him!'

Smiling happily, Lorien ignored the main battle at Shibuya metro station focusing his full attention on Aoyama Cemetery.

There, things weren't looking great opposite to the overwhelming advantage that the human side had at Shibuya Metro Station.

Right now, Sukuna who had just taken control over Yuji's body could be seen standing in front of Yuta with a wide and wicked smile plastered all over his face.

"Hahahahaha, It's been a long time!"

Moreover, to make things worse, just as Sukuna was stretching completely ignoring Yuta who was frozen in front of him, a white-haired monk with chin-length white hair also appeared from the side.

This immediately attracted everyone's attention but the one first to react was Sukuna who couldn't help but exclaim.

"Uraume?!"

Seeing that the situation was getting worse by the second, a tired look appeared on Yuta's face as he instinctively couldn't help but touch the ring on his finger.

'This is...bad.'

'Sukuna's power is overwhelming, it's the same as Gojo-sensei, not to mention winning, I'll have a hard time surviving.'

'Moreover...'

Reaching here, Yuta couldn't help but glance at the newcomer and at Jogo who had already reacted and recovered from his attack and was already coming this way.

'3 on 1...'

'Ahh, I should have aimed for the head, at least, it would have been 2 on 1.'

However, just as Yuta was thinking about the best next course of action to take, Sukuna who was talking to Uraume finally decided to turn his attention towards him.

"Wait Uraume, before talking about business, there is a bug that needs to be dealt with first!"
