Isekai Adventure in the Dimensional Cube-Chapter 1417 - 997: This Is as Far as It Goes

"Boom——"

Amidst the deafening roar, countless buildings collapsed, turning the entirety of Shinjuku little by little into a wasteland.

The urban area, with its towering ruins, fell bit by bit, as if struck by a natural disaster, a calamity.

"Bang!"

In the storm of flying debris and dust, Reiger’s fist, imbued with stable curse energy, suddenly struck the oncoming charging bull, triggering a thunderous boom and a shockwave that shattered everything inch by inch around it.

Such a terrifyingly powerful punch not only broke the bull’s horn but also blasted its head apart, causing this bull-like shikigami to die instantly.

"Tsk...!"

While attacking, Sukuna clicked his tongue with a grim expression.

Reiger had begun to shift from defense to offense.

This was a rather bad signal, proving that he was gradually adapting to the intensity of this battle and was able to perfectly use the terrifying output of curse energy for his own enhancement and in battle.

"Roar!"

The Demonic Void charged forward like a chariot, or like a cannonball, and rushed in front of Reiger, trampling countless objects underfoot, swinging a sword backwards at Reiger.

"[Heh]."

However, Reiger no longer faced the Demonic Void’s attack with just his fists and feet. Instead, he finally used a different technique, shooting a red glow that struck the Demonic Void’s chest, sending it flying away.

"Boom!"

The terrifying repulsion turned into impact, blasting the Demonic Void, blood spraying all over, crashing into a ruin and buried under countless rebar-filled debris.

"Roar!"

"Roar!"

At this moment, two jade dogs attacked from Reiger’s left and right, opening their bloody mouths and biting down hard towards his head.

"[Sky]."

Reiger pointed with a finger, and the two pouncing jade dogs suddenly froze in midair, then incredibly, they were drawn towards each other and collided heavily.

Reiger pointed downward, and the two jade dogs that had crashed together suddenly plummeted downward, coincidentally colliding with the large snake that was also hissing and snapping its jaws.

The three shikigami tangled together, turning into a rolling gourd.

"Go."

Reiger then pointed upwards, and the three shikigami flew up into the air.

Countless debris swiftly flew over, seemingly also controlled by some gravitational force, hitting the three shikigami in succession, completely covering them as they howled in pain.

Soon, a giant stone ball formed in midair, just floating there, with fresh blood oozing from the gaps in its surface.

"Bang!"

Sukuna suddenly attacked Reiger’s back, but Reiger, as if with eyes on his back, extended his arm in time to clash with him.

"Demonic Void!"

With red light no longer dim in his eyes and an aura of ferocity enveloping him, Sukuna let out a cold furious shout.

"Boom!"

Immediately, the pile of rubble exploded, and a figure shot out from it.

"Slash!"

Like a flash of lightning, Demonic Void swung a sword with blinding speed, striking Reiger’s outstretched other hand, no longer blocked by the curse energy flowing in his hand, but truly cutting him, causing a wound to appear on his hand, with blood splattering.

"Oh?"

This scene finally caused a slight change in Reiger’s always calm and composed expression.

"In the end, you’ve still adapted, haven’t you? Demonic Void."

Reiger wasn’t surprised by this outcome.

He understood Demonic Void’s abilities more than anyone else.

Not just him, anyone who knew about the ten shikigami passed down through the Zenin Family’s generations in Shadow Techniques would know this.

Even those who don’t know, upon seeing Demonic Void’s summoning spectacle and the array on its head, could make some guesses.

The summoning curse word used for Demonic Void is a form of spoken spell called "Burusu’s Word."

It’s a curse that, in legend, can resurrect the dead.

The array on Demonic Void’s head symbolizes cycle and repetition.

The combination of the two ultimately leads to complete cycle and adaptation.

Thus, Demonic Void’s abilities can essentially be divided into two types.

One is an extraordinarily powerful regeneration ability, with a recovery effect unmatched even by reverse curses.

The other is the ability to adapt to everything in the world, no matter what power it faces, it can evolve or learn a way to counter it after enduring it once.

In short, any ability that Demonic Void has seen once, it will eventually adapt to, until it is nullified or even countered.

Every rotation of the array on its head signifies a deeper adaptation to an ability, and once it rotates a certain number of times, the ability will become completely ineffective against it, even being broken by it.

The reason why Reiger’s invulnerability was breached by Demonic Void is because during the battle with Gojo Satoru, Sukuna had already activated this ability of Demonic Void, using it to adapt to Gojo Satoru’s technique.

By the time Reiger took the field, even though Demonic Void hadn’t completely adapted to the Limitless Cursed Technique’s full capabilities, it was already able to break the invulnerability, overcome its stopping power, and touch Reiger.

As for the shikigami like the Jade Dogs, the Great Serpent, and the Piercing Bull, that they can likewise attack Reiger is merely because Demonic Void temporarily broke Reiger’s invulnerability during its attack, allowing their attacks to also touch Reiger.

This is the terrifying power of Demonic Void.
