Meanwhile,

Watching the battle slowly unfold from the big screens worldwide, all those who were watching couldn't help but feel excited seeing Yuta's victory as some people even popped out some champagne to celebrate.

"YESS!!!"

"GOOOD JOOOBBB!!!"

"WELL DONE!!"

However, seeing his next move, all those watching couldn't help but feel puzzled not knowing why he didn't take advantage of the fact that Sukuna was currently frozen to run away.

Moreover, this confusion grew stronger seeing him suddenly take out a goldish glass object and crash it in his hands apparently absorbing whatever was within it.

"What did he do just now?"

"No idea."

"Could it be some performance-enhancing drug for sorcerers?"

"...Could be."

"..."

It's just that while the ignorant civilians didn't know what it was, Lorien immediately recognized it which confirmed the feeling he had before.

'Heh, I knew that I sensed its presence on him but I didn't expect him to use it now!'

'Haahahha, now this is getting more and more interesting.'

'Tsk, Tsk, Tsk, I really wonder what kind of ability he will awaken, It seems that Sukuna might actually get beaten up by him considering how broken Yuta's current ability is, not to mention after it gets improved and his energy transformed.'

'Well, frankly, the stronger the better!'

'After all, whatever ability Yuta awakens will eventually get fed back to me.'

This fact was also noticed by Yuki who also recognised the object Yuta had just crushed.

"Hey! It seems that Sukuna might be in trouble!"

"I also think so, however, we can't rule him out just yet as we don't know if the increase that Yuta will get from switching power systems will be enough to overwhelm Sukuna or if it will only make them equal."

Hearing this, Yuki nodded agreeing with Lorien's conclusion as she then turned her attention back towards the battlefield waiting in anticipation for the new battle to unfold.

Seeing this, Lorien smiled as he also looked in Yuta's direction, however, different from Yuki and all the other people watching, Lorien's attention was mostly focused on the Nightmare Realm side that was mirroring the real world.

There, Lorien noticed some Nightmare Spirits being born in the same location that Uraume and Jogo died in.

Moreover, these Nightmare Spirits were quite powerful being roughly equal to the special grade level of the cursed energy system at the moment of their birth.

Additionally, they also held the same attributes as the Jogo and Uraume who had just died being Ice and Flames.

This is mainly because, since the creation of the nightmare realm, Lorien made it so that whenever a cursed spirit or curse user is killed, their origin and essence will be absorbed by the nightmare realm thereby creating nightmare spirits of the same attributes.

By doing so, the Nightmare Realm will quickly get populated and no negative energy will be wasted in the process.

This is better than letting them die completely and then waiting for the fear of a certain aspect or element to accumulate enough to allow a new nightmare spirit to be born.

The advantage of such an approach is very evident as even now not long after the nightmare realm was created, Lorien could sense the ever-increasing number of Nightmare Spirits being born either by getting absorbed before they were completely born in the real world or assimilated after dyeing.

'Well, to be honest, this doesn't matter much, after all, I'll forcefully throw them inside the nightmare realm later on once I officially launch the Dream Path, but, in the meantime, it is still a great way for transitioning from one power system to another.'

'Moreover, getting a continuous stream of [Luck] still feels great, so there's that as well!'

Shaking his head, Lorien finally turned his attention away from the nightmare realm as there wasn't much to see there, after all, even though these nightmare spirits looked very similar to their previous counterparts, they held no recollection of their 'past lives' effectively starting new ones.

'Well, it seems that Kenjaku isn't doing that good now...'

Turning his attention to the Shibuya metro station, Lorien's divine sense shrouded the battlefield allowing him to watch everything in great detail.

'Damn it!'

'Run!'

Looking at Hanami and Choso who immediately turned tail trying to make a run for it before Gojo decides to focus on them, Lorien couldn't help but smile amusedly at their useless attempt.

'Do they really think that they can get away that easily?'

'Summoning evil spirits is quite easy, but getting rid of them is very difficult!'

'This is also true for Gojo, now that you brought him here, it's very hard to make him go away.'

And indeed, it is as Lorien expected as the moment Gojo saw the two trying to run away, he only glanced at them for a moment before launching a maximum output blue in their direction.

"You rats already had your fun, so you should stop jumping around" Said Gojo.

[Maximum Cursed Energy Output: Blue]

*Bzzzzz*

The moment Gojo used this technique, a large blue colored ball instantly shot in their direction while releasing an incredibly powerful gravitational attraction.

This force was so powerful that no matter how much they tried, neither Hanami nor Choso were able to take another step forward despite desperately using all their power.

"Ahhhhhh!!"

"W-What is that!"

Moreover, to their utter despair, they slowly started sliding towards it leaving a large trail in the concrete as they tried to resist its power.

However, all of this was eventually for nothing, after all, despite all their efforts they soon reached the center of the gravitational force that acted like a mini black hole.

*Pufff*

"AGHH!!!" x2

In an instant, as soon as the two got 'absorbed' by the 'ball', they were impacted by the unbelievably strong force within immediately crushing them alongside all the rubles that got inadvertently absorbed with them.

*Bzzzz*

Achieving his goal, Gojo didn't waste any time as he immediately released the technique, his eyes still fully focused on Kenjaku who was still thinking of ways to get away from this place.

"So, do you have anything to say? And choose your words carefully, after all, they will be your last!"
