Chapter 1418: Chapter 997: This Is as Far as It Goes (Part 2)

"To defeat the Demonic Void, one must kill it before its adaptation ability is activated."

This attack cannot be something the Demonic Void has seen and adapted to before; it must be an ability it has never encountered.

Once it has seen or endured an attack, it will adapt to it. Even if it hasn’t fully adapted, it can significantly reduce the attack’s effectiveness, making it hard to inflict any substantial damage.

"Even if it hasn’t seen or endured the attack, if the attack’s power isn’t strong enough, it won’t be able to deal with it either."

Because it has powerful regenerative abilities, even if sliced in half, it can rapidly regenerate and recover, making it extremely difficult to kill.

This forms a seemingly perfect cycle.

Any attack that lacks the power to instantly kill the Demonic Void, once used, will be slowly adapted to by the Demonic Void, becoming ineffective and even countered.

Even if there is an attack capable of instantly killing the Demonic Void, if it cannot completely reduce it to ashes, it will quickly regenerate and adapt.

This unsolvable and formidable shikigami is the ultimate shikigami passed down by the Zenin Family’s [Shadow Techniques], the strongest and invincible entity.

Therefore, even Reiger couldn’t immediately resolve this shikigami back then and ultimately resorted to the [Time Stop] + [True Death] ultimate technique to deal with the Demonic Void and subdue it.

Without [True Death], such instant death magic, it would not have been so simple for Reiger to instantly kill the Demonic Void.

Sukuna’s success in subduing the Demonic Void likely owes to the advantage of his own technique.

[Eighth Ring] is an ultimate scythe that adjusts strength based on cursed energy disparity and can kill instantly upon activation.

Because of [Eighth Ring], Sukuna could successfully subdue the Demonic Void; otherwise, he would have had to exhaust all his resources, rack his brains to find a method, and grasp hope.

Whether it was Reiger or Sukuna, it was because they had the ability to deal a fatal blow that they could subdue the Demonic Void.

If anyone else tried to subdue the Demonic Void, it would undoubtedly be wishful thinking.

"Now, the Demonic Void has probably almost adapted completely to [Limitless Cursed Technique] and even to my output of cursed energy. Continuing like this might not be good."

Reiger again looked towards the array above the Demonic Void’s head.

The array had already rotated quite a few times, proving that the Demonic Void’s adaptation ability had been continuously activated.

The Demonic Void’s adaptation ability is strong; even if it only encounters or endures an enemy’s ability once, it will slowly adapt due to the passage of time even if it doesn’t see or endure it again.

In this process, seeing the enemy’s ability again or enduring the enemy’s ability again accelerates this adaptation process.

Moreover, once its adaptation is complete, it can continue to the next stage of adaptation, rendering the enemy increasingly powerless.

The first stage of adaptation only renders the enemy’s ability ineffective.

The second stage of adaptation begins to restrain the enemy’s ability.

If it continues to another stage thereafter, it would not only restrain but might cause even more unimaginable occurrences.

For example, the Demonic Void might learn this enemy ability and become even stronger.

In this situation, continuing to adapt would allow this ability to gradually grow, even evolve and transform.

However, no one has ever been able to hold on until the Demonic Void adapted to this stage.

Now, the Demonic Void’s array has already rotated many times, obviously completing the first stage of adaptation, allowing it to easily break through invincibility, and find and exploit Reiger’s weaknesses in his defense and cursed energy output, possibly completing the second stage of adaptation soon.

If it is allowed to continue adapting, perhaps it will truly learn an ability similar to invincibility, making enemy attacks unable to touch it, even adjusting its cursed energy output to match Reiger’s specification.

By then, even for Reiger to face it, it would be challenging.

"It seems my adjustment can only stop here."

Reiger activated Jutsushiki hanten, quickly healing the wounds on his hand.

"...!"

At this moment, Sukuna might have sensed something, and his expression changed.

"Demonic Void!"

He called upon the Demonic Void again, allowing it to roar up to the sky and raise its demonic sword high.

The Demonic Void is not called "Eight Grip Sword" without reason.

Its demon sword on the right arm is technically on the same level as Oni Chiri, a specialized blade against Curse Spirits.

This demonic sword always carries a positive energy layer similar to Jutsushiki hanten, and if it strikes a Curse Spirit, it will instantly kill, even if the Curse Spirit is a special grade.

However, after this fierce battle, the Demonic Void’s adaptation ability fully activated, now the demon sword carries a specialized force through adaptation, able to sever invincibility and penetrate Reiger’s cursed energy defense, causing him real harm.

The previously successful strike turned more powerful with the Demonic Void’s adaptation.

Therefore, with this sword swing, if it strikes true, Reiger will definitely incur severe damage.

Of course, it depends on whether it hits.

"Snap!"

With the sound of a snap of fingers, Reiger’s figure instantly vanished from under the Demonic Void’s sword, escaping Sukuna’s sight.

"Above!"

Sukuna, unlike ordinary men, swiftly captured Reiger’s cursed energy despite the repositioning, abruptly lifted his head, and looked upward.

But upon looking, Sukuna’s pupils constricted to pinpoints.

"[Phase]—[Prajna]— [Light Column]."

This is an incantation.

An incantation to enhance the technique’s power, maximizing its effect.

The incantor was Reiger, appearing above Sukuna and the Demonic Void’s heads.

He looked down from above at the man and shikigami below, with a calm expression, extending his finger while chanting the incantation.

At the same time, his terrifying cursed energy output reached its limit, surging out like endless torrents within a short moment.

"[Jutsushiki hanten Aka]."

With the calm words echoing, an incredulous scene appeared.

"Boom!" 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

In front of Reiger, the repulsion-formed crimson light constantly converged, gathered, and dispersed, eventually forming small-sized supernova-like [Aka].

However, this moment, the formed [Aka] wasn’t just a fingertip-sized red dot, rapidly expanding into a red light orb the size of a human head.

The formed red light orb was not alone; it was like raindrops, endless, covering the area around Reiger.

"What?"

"How could it be...?!"

The two, Angel and Kashimo Hajime, upon witnessing the scene, drastically changed their expressions.

"That Reiger...!"

Even Gojo Satoru was shocked at this moment.

Such large-scale and endless [Aka], not only had he not seen before, he had never conceived.

"This is bad!"

Facing the terrifying crisis descending from above, Sukuna disregarded everything else, frantically controlling the Demonic Void to shield himself, while forming the Tan Tu Seal.

"Domain Expansion!"

Sukuna, losing his composure, shouted as he instantly expanded his domain, intending to dissolve the incoming countless [Aka] with his limitless slashes.

Unfortunately, he was too late.

"Go."

With Reiger’s calm command, the endless [Aka] around him descended violently like a torrential rain.

Red light illuminated the whole world.

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...!"

With Sukuna’s roar, the descending [Aka], like a red meteor shower pouring from the sky, successively struck the ground.

"Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom——!!!"

The deafening explosions resounded continuously, causing the world to collapse.
