Heavenly Restriction User of the Gojo Clan: I Refuse to Be Cut in Half-Chapter 185: Summoning the Rainbow Dragon

Yuki's curiosity about Satoshi only grew deeper, along with her obsession.

The mysterious Satoshi was like a fatal poison to her.

If before, Yuki had viewed Tengen as a god or a prophet within the world of jujutsu, then after meeting Satoshi, that divine role had quietly shifted.

The enigmatic Satoshi. The unreadable Satoshi. The Satoshi who seemed to know everything. All of it only made Yuki more obsessed.

She longed to uncover more of the secrets surrounding Gojo Satoshi.

As for the others, whether it was Satoru, Geto Suguru, or even Toji with his Heavenly Restriction, she no longer had any strong interest in them.

Once, she had hoped to use Toji, a being without cursed energy, as a test subject to rid the world of curses.

But now, Satoshi had met every requirement she desired.

So long as Satoshi was willing to cooperate with her, nothing else really mattered.

While Yuki was lost in thought, Geto Suguru raised the shimmering blue Curse Ball to his lips.

This Curse Ball was large—befitting the remains of a special grade cursed spirit. Its power was leagues beyond anything he had absorbed before.

All eyes were fixed on his hand. Everyone wanted to witness what Geto Suguru's next step with the Cursed Spirit Manipulation Technique would be.

Under everyone's gaze, Geto Suguru opened his mouth wide, and the entire blue sphere seemed to distort before being swallowed in one motion.

In that moment, everyone finally understood what Satoshi meant earlier.

Even without tasting it personally, the idea of swallowing something forged from the concentrated essence of humanity's negative emotions was revolting.

The sensation of swallowing a rag used to clean up vomit and filth...

Recalling Satoshi's earlier comparison, Satoru, Sekiguchi Seiji, Yaga Masamichi, and Yōshu all felt a wave of nausea.

Who could possibly stomach that?

They now realized just how mentally taxing it must have been for Geto Suguru to continue refining this technique.

To swallow that regularly? Just once would be horrifying, let alone making it a part of daily life.

Only Satoshi wore a calm expression, Shoko remained focused, and Yuki was indifferent.

Satoshi had long predicted this scene. He understood that this was the only path for Geto Suguru to completely subjugate the cursed spirit. There was no surprise on his face.

Shoko continued channeling cursed energy into Minazuki to treat Yagyū Saemon.

As for Yuki, she truly didn't care whether Geto Suguru succeeded or failed. It was all meaningless to her now.

...

As the blue Curse Ball twisted and dissolved, the Rainbow Dragon's remains completely vanished.

Geto Suguru's power surged, and in the eyes of both Six Eyes users—Satoru and Satoshi—the negative emotions swirling around him thickened exponentially.

As expected. How could Geto Suguru not become twisted if he keeps devouring cursed spirits like this?

This is after he gave up his sense of taste. If he had still retained that rejection toward the taste of cursed energy, the negative feedback might have been even worse.

Satoshi observed in silence. From now on, he would need to pay close attention to how Geto Suguru developed his innate technique.

Satoru, meanwhile, had much simpler feelings.

He was simply worried.

He had objected to Satoshi pushing Suguru to forcibly subdue the Rainbow Dragon.

This kind of thing seemed far too dangerous.

Even though Suguru had succeeded, the pressure placed on him was far more than a six-year-old should bear.

Satoru didn't want his new friend to change because of something like this.

...

As Geto Suguru's breathing gradually returned to normal, the tension in the air began to fade.

Suddenly, his body trembled, and he let out a long burp.

The dense negativity that had wrapped around him scattered instantly. His expression returned to its usual calm.

"Satoshi. I've done it."

Geto Suguru looked toward Satoshi.

For this cursed spirit, he had sacrificed his sense of taste.

From this day on, food would never taste like anything again.

Even if he had earned a rare Zanpakutō, he still felt a small tinge of regret.

After all, no one likes to give up something precious, even if it seems trivial.

Though, maybe taste wasn't that important after all...

Satoshi narrowed his eyes slightly and nodded.

He acknowledged Geto Suguru's resolve.

Under everyone's watchful gaze, Geto Suguru raised his right hand, and in the torn air, a white-scaled dragon emerged from a rift in space.

The Rainbow Dragon.

This new form looked nearly identical to the Rainbow Dragon that had fallen earlier, save for one thing—its size.

It was slightly smaller than the original.

But that didn't change a thing.

The aura of a special grade cursed spirit still radiated from its body.

At this moment, no one could view Geto Suguru as just a six-year-old child.

At the very least, he now held the strength of a special grade cursed spirit.

Such a level was enough to completely overwhelm any Grade 2 sorcerer or below.

While it might still seem like Suguru trailed behind Satoru and Satoshi, the truth was that no one else among their generation could match him.

These three were already the undisputed apex of the new generation of jujutsu sorcerers.

Support-type sorcerers like Shoko had their place too, but in pure combat, they couldn't compare to Satoshi, Satoru, or Suguru.

Fortunately, Satoshi had forged Minazuki for Shoko. With it, Shoko could at least summon Minazuki in battle.

Minazuki's power was no less than that of a special grade cursed spirit, and its healing rituals made it uniquely valuable.

While she still wasn't a front-line powerhouse, Shoko could now protect herself in this dangerous world of curses.

In this world, a healer's presence is absolutely necessary.
