Chapter 226: Monster

[Domain Expansion Phase: Collapse]

This is one of the two techniques that was newly developed by Gojo after studying the information given to him by Lorien among many other sources enabling him to further master and control barrier techniques and to develop new applications for them.

However, instead of calling it a new technique, it's more appropriate to call it a new method of domain application or barrier technique method.

This method basically transforms Gojo's domain from a normal closed barrier domain whose function is just to focus on sure-hit attacks and entrapping the enemy to a self-explosive death trap.

Such transformation is achieved by forcefully filling the domain with cursed energy and spacial powers and then condensing the domain to the absolute limit, in this case, to a ping pong ball sized barrier.

Following this, using the barrier technique as the carrier, the heterogeneous energy is finally triggered forming an explosive chain reaction.

However, what's formed by this chain reaction isn't just a normal explosion, instead, with all the energy and power targeting one very small single point in space with the objective of cracking it, a spacial collapse with the impact point as the center is finally born.

It's basically taking the space around as 'paper' and forcefully piercing a hole through it using all the accumulated energy as a 'pen'.

From there, with this hole in space appearing, there is basically no way to control the power and damage as the force born at that moment no longer has anything to do with Gojo.

Usually, when launching attacks, the sorcerer himself won't receive much damage from them as these attacks are formed by his own cursed energy, however, this is not the case this time as even the one behind the attack will get injured if touched by this power.

This is also why after Gojo launched his attack, he immediately jumped back trying to create more distance from it.

*Crack*

*Crack*

Hearing the glass-like cracking noises all around and looking at the pitch-black dark spot in front of him where a hole in space appeared, Gojo couldn't help but relax slightly knowing that his attack had truly landed.

'Great, It landed!'

'I don't know why he didn't forcefully dispel it or avoid it, but at least everything worked out well in the end.'

'However, I don't think that it'll be enough.'

With a serious look on his face, Gojo never expected such an attack to be enough to end this battle, after all, his opponent's abilities were very buggy with basically no solution to them.

Moreover, the fact that the domain he's standing in still remains unaffected proves his point even further.

So, after jumping back, Gojo immediately began chanting once again with the objective of using the second technique that he developed.

[Phase...Paramita...Pillars of light]

[Cursed Technique Reversal: Red - Maximum Cursed Energy Output]

*Bzzzz*

Following this chant, a huge red orb formed by cursed energy instantly appeared in front of Gojo who swiftly launched to the side intending for it to take a curve before reaching its target.

Then, without interruption, he immediately began chanting again with the objective of launching his Cursed Technique Blue.

[Phase...Twilight...Eyes of-]

However, before he could finish, a mutation suddenly occurred within the domain he was currently standing in forcing him to stop dead in his tracks.

*Bzzzzzzzz*

*Shake*

*Shake*

Suddenly, it was as if the world itself was shaking, the earth vibrated, the wind howled, and the sun and moon shone brightly in brilliant colors.

Then, before anyone could understand what was happening, a silent but sublime power suddenly emerged within the domain for all to witness.

*Bzzzzzzzz*

The moment this power appeared, it immediately fell like a waterfall into the black space caused by the spacial collapse.

Then, under Gojo's rapidly shrinking eyes, time around the destroyed space looked as if it was flowing back as all the spacial cracks started getting healed.

However, that wasn't all as even the damage made to the land, grass, and trees was also getting fixed removing all signs of any actual damage that had appeared.

And like that, in a matter of seconds, everything within the domain was restored to its original beautiful state.

If it weren't for the fact that all of this was witnessed by billions of people, some might think that it was actually just an illusion.

However, while the domain was restored to its prior state, there was actually still something quite important missing, and that was Lorien himself.

It's just that after witnessing the previous scene, none of the people who were watching the battle thought that anything actually happened to him.

"Damn it!"

"This monster..."

"Did he just tank that?"

"...He hasn't appeared yet, he might have actually gotten injured by the attack."

"I wouldn't put my money on that..."

"But..."

*Bzzz*

*Crack*

However, just then as the debate was heating up, a new small spacial crack suddenly appeared in the spot that Lorien was previously standing in as a familiar hand emerged from within it.

This hand was then followed by a shoulder, leg, and then the entire body.

*Cough*

*Cough*

"Nice attack!"

Coughing lightly, Lorien couldn't help but look at his slightly destroyed clothes before looking at the shocked Gojo in front of him.

"I have to admit, that was the strongest attack that I have received from an actual opponent, if it weren't for me reacting quickly and using my power to block it, I might have actually gotten gravely injured"

Saying this, Lorien couldn't help but sense his own energy reserves before continuing.

"Well, even then I had to spend a large portion of my energy reserves to actually defend against and get out of the spatial turbulence, that place is truly dangerous!!"

Thinking back to it, Lorien couldn't help but feel slightly afraid, if he were to receive such an attack when he had just traveled to this world, he might not have been able to survive it.

'It seems that I have to be more careful in the future! God knows what some lunatics might come up with.'

"Huh?"

Finally reacting, Gojo looked at Lorien in front of him who looked slightly disheveled but with no actual injury as he then decided to silently finish his chant for blue before replying to him so as to distract him.

[...Eyes of Wisdom]

"Actual opponent? Did you receive stronger attacks from other people who you don't deem as real opponents?"

"...Yes, I almost got insta-killed by someone, if it weren't for outside help I would have died, however, this is not the point now!"

Saying this, Lorien ignored Gojo's shocked eyes upon hearing the shocking news as he instead looked at the increasingly powerful blue ball in his opponent's hand and then at the still traveling red orb to the side.

'Did he launch it before I got out of the spacial turbulence? Does he want to use his unlimited hollow technique?'

'But that thing is practically useless, is he out of options?'

However, thinking of the previous attack and the surprise he received, Lorien resisted the urge to use his eyes to just glance at the future or just copy all of Gojo's abilities.

'Hahhahaha, Where's the fun in that?'

'However, I am more interested in how this guy actually managed to use his domain within mine...'
