Anime Collector: Starting With the Malevolent Shrine-Chapter 177 - ⟴ The Shifting of Worlds

A brilliant pillar of flame stretched from heaven to earth as the barriers placed around the Sankō Shrine were forcibly torn apart.

The Jujutsu Sorcerers, Onmyōji, and others watching the livestream fell silent. At the foot of the mountain, Senzaemon and Gan'an stood in awe.

"Is... is this the power of the strongest Jujutsu Sorcerer in history? More monstrous than any monster — able to split mountains with just a wave of his hand?"

Having fled from the Sankō Shrine, the two old men trembled, their hearts quaking at the sight of that towering pillar of flame.

"Is that the Spatial Slash that defeated Satoru Gojō? To think its power could be so overwhelming as to cleave a mountain — isn't that a bit too extreme?"

The Jujutsu Sorcerers who hadn't witnessed Satoru being cut down were sweating profusely. They had thought the slashing technique was limited to affecting people, but here it was, splitting mountains with a single hand — even Divine Beasts couldn't withstand it.

This was completely different from the slash they had heard about!

At Tokyo Jujutsu High, Masamichi swallowed hard, patting Satoru's shoulder with immense relief while wearing a meaningful expression.

Though he couldn't see anymore, after hearing Yūta and the others' description, even he had to click his tongue — he really had escaped death.

"By the way... what is that thunder-summoning weapon the Inspector General used? It rivals the legendary divine weapons!" Megumi asked curiously.

"Hmm... it looks similar to Sukuna's Kamutoke, both able to summon thunder, but this power is something else. If Kamutoke could unleash power of this magnitude, the Heian era subjugation battle would have ended with entire nations in ruins."

In the coffee shop, Mei and the others couldn't help but smile at this scene, while Miko and Hana embraced each other with tears of joy.

Who would have thought a single Sankō Shrine could lead to such an outrageous situation! A Mountain God as tall as the peaks themselves, capable of making mountains collapse with a mere gesture!

❊❊❊❊❊❊❊❊❊❊

Outside the History Compilation Committee, Tōma Amakasu smiled to himself.

Though he despised Daiki's reckless behavior, such a display of military might could be used to make other forces submit with just a little manipulation.

"Let's set aside what happened before. As for revenge... we can use the shrine maiden to smooth things over."

For these beings with supernatural powers, Tōma had his own methods of control.

Without hesitation, he sprang into action. Returning to the History Compilation Committee, he made a phone call, confident that the shrine maiden's influence would keep this Jujutsu Inspector General in check.

The Mages and Great Knights of the Eastern European Mage Associations wore grave expressions, their once-boastful members now silent.

None could have imagined that a millennium after the ancient Demon King era, the world would witness the emergence of a being powerful enough to tear Divine Beasts apart with bare hands.

When that slash was unleashed, even the Great Knights stationed at the Mage Associations felt their scalps tingle — this power rivaled that of a Demon King.

"What should we do?" A hoarse voice echoed.

"We must find a way to appease this Jujutsu Inspector General." The leader of the Eastern European Magic Society decided immediately.

❊❊❊❊❊❊❊❊❊❊

Japan's Prime Minister wiped his brow with relief.

Minutes ago, he had wished for Daiki Tsukasa to be beaten to death. Now, his mind had completely changed — he even wanted to enshrine this Jujutsu Inspector General.

After all, this was deterrence! With such battle prowess, Japan would be invincible!

Just as the Prime Minister lost himself in grand dreams, the livestream continued.

"Wait, Prime Minister, look, what is he doing?"

The Prime Minister snapped awake, his gaze returning to the livestream.

In the broadcast, Daiki raised his palm skyward. As countless viewers watched in bewilderment, his palm lifted slightly.

In the next moment, the entire mountain range around the Sankō Shrine began to violently shake.

As the yin-yang powers circulated, the entire mountain range lifted from the earth!

The watching audience leaped to their feet in shock.

"He... he actually lifted an entire mountain range! How is this possible?!"

"My god, this is beyond human capability!"

"This... moving mountains and rivers... I thought such feats only existed in legends!"

At the Copper Black Cross headquarters.

Golden hair, blue eyes, a graceful figure in vibrant red attire—the young lady of the prestigious Blandelli Family of the magic world.

Known as the "Diavolo Rosso" (Red Devil), Erika sprang to her feet upon seeing the broadcast.

"Eh? Young miss, where are you going?"

"Isn't it obvious? The Demon King we at Copper Black Cross have been waiting for has appeared. If we don't leave now, others will get ahead of us!"

She brushed her golden hair aside, turned to pack her luggage, and left.

While others were shocked and in awe of Daiki's power, Kishibe lay in his hospital bed, leisurely lighting a cigarette.

❊❊❊❊❊❊❊❊❊❊

Kenjaku, who had survived the Mount Fuji eruption, casually offered praise despite the dust on his face, trying to cover up his earlier pathetic state.

Ashiya Dōman... well, was completely obliterated by the volcano — not even bones remained.

Only the typically thoughtless Jōgo spoke up, "Kenjaku, why do you think he lifted an entire mountain range for no reason?"

Kenjaku's smile froze. After a moment of silence, he said, "He must be testing his powers. It's not like he's going to drop it on someone, right?"

Before he finished speaking, Daiki suddenly vanished from the livestream. Along with him, the lifted mountain range disappeared too.

❊❊❊❊❊❊❊❊❊❊

The Eastern European Magic Society panicked instantly.

Surely he wasn't coming to take revenge on their society?

"Quick! Contact Japan's Prime Minister, we need to—"

Before their leader could finish, someone shouted, "He's above Tokyo!"

Above Tokyo? Why would he appear there?

❊❊❊❊❊❊❊❊❊❊

Before the European Mage Associations could figure it out, Kishibe, lying in his hospital bed, noticed the sky darken.

He glanced from the livestream to the shadowed window outside, considered the implications, and his eyes widened.

Next to him was a Jujutsu Sorcerer who had joined the Public Safety Devil Hunter Division seeking an easy life after being severely injured while exorcising a Curse.

He too watched the livestream, and as the sky darkened, he turned to Kishibe, the renowned Strongest Devil Hunter.

"Um, Boss Kishibe, should we leave?" The Sorcerer asked nervously.

"Hmph, do you know where we are?" Kishibe extinguished his cigarette with one hand, his tone eerily calm.

The Sorcerer froze, then remembered — this was Tokyo, where the Jujutsu World, the Onmyōji World, and the Devil Hunter Division converged!

Surely nothing could go wrong here?

Reassured by this thought, he who had been about to rise lay back down. Then he saw Kishibe ripping off his cast and yanking out his IV.

"Um, Boss Kishibe, what are you doing?"

Kishibe planted one foot on the windowsill, drew a deep breath, then whirled around, "You idiot! Do you know where we are? We're too close — we need to run like hell!"

With that, he launched himself out the window.

He had grossly underestimated his injuries. Upon landing, his foot bone shattered with a sickening crack.

When it rains, it pours — but Kishibe didn't waste time complaining. He limped to the nearest car, hijacked it, and sped away.

The Jujutsu Sorcerer gaped at this swift series of actions for three seconds before crying out in panic.

"Boss, wait for me, I haven't gotten in the car yet!"
