Heavenly Restriction User of the Gojo Clan: I Refuse to Be Cut in Half-Chapter 179: The Unaware Rainbow Dragon

"What? That was the power of his Zanpakutō?"

After hearing what Yōshu said, Sekiguchi Seiji stood there, stunned.

He had always known that the power of a Zanpakutō was extraordinary, shaking the entire jujutsu world since its appearance. But this was his first time witnessing such power with his own eyes.

Those dozens of fire pillars that had just shot into the sky looked like a natural disaster. To think that such terrifying power had come from a Zanpakutō.

This completely overturned Sekiguchi's understanding of what a Cursed Tool could be.

The difference between an ordinary Cursed Tool and a Zanpakutō was like the difference between a pistol and an atomic bomb. The gap was simply overwhelming.

"No wonder people always say that the Zanpakutō forged by Gojo Satoshi holds the power of jujutsu itself."

"This is the legendary Zanpakutō."

Sekiguchi could not hide the shock in his eyes. If possible, he wished he could see whether there was any chance for him to obtain a Zanpakutō from Satoshi as well.

If he had a Zanpakutō, could he advance from Grade 1 to Special Grade?

Standing beside him, Yaga Masamichi frowned deeply.

He had always been cautious about the Zanpakutō, but his understanding had been limited to the abilities of Shunichi's Suzumushi and Saemon's Nejibana.

After all, these two Zanpakutō were seen most often in the field, with Shunichi and Saemon frequently taking on missions. Yaga had worked alongside them many times.

The power of Suzumushi and Nejibana was indeed impressive, but not so overwhelming as to inspire despair.

Yaga had not witnessed the spectacle that unfolded at the Gojo family residence when Senbonzakura and Ryūjin Jakka were revealed. He knew little of the true strength of these Zanpakutō.

But now, standing here and witnessing the real power of Ryūjin Jakka for the first time, Yaga was genuinely shaken.

Right after the initial shock, concern filled his mind.

Yaga knew that Satoshi was born with the Six Eyes of the Gojo family. Even so, in Yaga's eyes, that did not mean he should be left without proper guidance.

Both Satoshi and Satoru held the potential to change the world.

They needed the correct teachings, and Jujutsu High was the right place to provide that guidance.

If possible, Yaga sincerely hoped these young ones would one day become students of the school and learn to properly shape their perception of the world.

...

Yōshu silently continued jotting down his notes.

Until now, the association had only heard about how powerful Ryūjin Jakka was. Very few had experienced it firsthand.

But this time, witnessing its power so closely was an entirely different matter.

Watching those towering fire pillars rise into the sky, Yōshu felt as though he were looking at a true natural disaster.

Even if Mount Fuji erupted, would it be any stronger than this?

But more importantly, was this really the full strength of Ryūjin Jakka?

Yōshu did not think so.

Previously, when it came to Sode no Shirayuki, many had assumed it possessed only a few techniques.

But each time, Satoshi proved otherwise, showing moves they had never seen before.

The First Dance: White Moon, the Second Dance: White Ripple, both used by Satoshi himself.

The information on the Third Dance: White Sword had been passed to the association through the Zenin family.

And there was still the mysterious Bankai technique, said to be powerful enough to defeat even a Domain Expansion user.

At this point, at least four techniques had been confirmed, and Yōshu believed there were likely more that the association was unaware of.

If Sode no Shirayuki alone possessed such variety and power, then Ryūjin Jakka, even more formidable, had to hold terrifying potential.

He could not begin to imagine what Ryūjin Jakka would be capable of after Bankai.

Would it have the power to destroy heaven and earth?

Yōshu found himself silently mourning the Rainbow Dragon.

In his eyes, this Special Grade cursed spirit was not worth Ryūjin Jakka's attention.

If those fire pillars had been directed at the Rainbow Dragon, the spirit would likely have been incinerated on the spot.

...

At the center of the battlefield.

Geto Suguru stood frozen, his face filled with shock as he looked at the aftermath of Ryūjin Jakka's power.

If the flames along the castle walls before had merely felt scorching, then the Ennetsu Jigoku (Hell of Scorching Flames) he witnessed now brought with it the scent of death.

A creature like the Rainbow Dragon stood no chance against Ennetsu Jigoku. If that was the case, even taming the Rainbow Dragon would not bring him closer to Satoshi's level.

It felt impossible.

"Do you want to become stronger?" Satoshi looked at Geto with a serious expression.

Geto nodded firmly, determination burning in his eyes.

He wanted to grow stronger. He didn't want to be left behind like this. He felt he shouldn't lose to anyone—not to Satoshi, not to Satoru.

"I forged a Zanpakutō for you before," Satoshi continued, his voice calm, "but right now, you're a disappointment."

"You are not qualified to wield a Zanpakutō."

Satoshi smiled faintly, lifting Geto's hopes for a moment, only to crush them immediately.

Geto's eyes brightened with hope, then quickly dimmed again.

He knew he had let Satoshi down.

There was a trace of pity in Satoru's gaze. If Satoshi really did not intend to give Geto a Zanpakutō, there was no need to mention it. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ

Wasn't this just tormenting him?

He was just about to speak up when Yuki stepped forward, blocking his view and shaking her head.

They all understood that Satoshi's words, actions, and even the raised blade earlier were not just to suppress Geto's hopes.

It was meant to force something out of him.

The atmosphere grew heavy as Geto fell silent in frustration.

At that moment, the Rainbow Dragon, still unaware of its own situation, soared back into the air, ready to fight again.

Because Satoshi had not unleashed the full might of Ennetsu Jigoku earlier, the Rainbow Dragon had only suffered surface burns.

Now, it still clung to the hope of victory.

Satoshi sighed at its reckless behavior.

So the Rainbow Dragon isn't as intelligent as Jogo or Hanami. It had no sense of the danger it was facing.

If it had been Jogo or Hanami, they would have already fled after witnessing Ennetsu Jigoku.
