Within a 15 km radius in Shinjuku, no buildings remained. Everything around had been leveled to the ground, as if a nuclear bomb had just been dropped. Debris was scattered everywhere, and a large crater was the center of the destruction. Thin smoke still billowed from the ground, leaving a scorched and dusty aroma that filled the air.
In the midst of this horrific scene, Eiji lay on the ground, his body covered in wounds with his clothes almost completely burned. His exposed skin showed burned flesh, but slowly, the wounds were closing thanks to his Reverse Cursed Technique.
The pain he was experiencing was excruciating, like thousands of knives piercing his body simultaneously. Despite this, Eiji remained silent, his face showing unwavering determination.
"It's over… I did it… Sukuna is dead…" He muttered, his breath coming in ragged gasps.
In the explosion that lasted for almost five full minutes, Eiji had personally confirmed with his Six Eyes that Sukuna had been killed in the third minute.
In the end, Sukuna's Reverse Cursed Technique failed to keep up with the damage inflicted by Grey. His body collapsed and disintegrated into dust.
"That was dangerous, I don't want to do this again, I'm not a masochist. Because it's my own Cursed Energy, the damage I received wasn't as severe as what Sukuna felt. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been so reckless to do this kind of suicide act."
He didn't celebrate his victory, just lying down for a moment to catch his breath. The pain in every inch of his body reminded him that he had just fought on the border between life and death.
Based on Lin Fan's memory, Gojo Satoru did the same thing, exploding Purple at Sukuna and himself. Eiji just imitated the scene, only the output of his attack was many times more powerful than Purple. After all, he added a buff with the Kanjo Kanjo no Mi to Grey.
"Haah… Haah… Haah…"
With the Reverse Cursed Technique continuously working, the wounds on his body slowly disappeared. Although his body recovered, his mental fatigue kept his body glued to the ground.
"Sigh…"
Eiji let out a long sigh, his eyes gazing at the sky that was now clearing of smoke and dust.
Suddenly, two figures appeared from a distance, walking slowly towards the large crater where Eiji lay. As they got closer, Eiji recognized them. His cousin: Gojo Satoru, and his girlfriend: Nakano Nino.
"Eiji!" Nino exclaimed in a voice that was a mixture of relief and panic.
Seeing Eiji's miserable condition, Nino immediately ran towards him without hesitation. She knelt beside Eiji's body and without saying anything, hugged her badly injured boyfriend.
"Nino?" Eiji was surprised.
Nino's presence in the middle of this dangerous battlefield was completely unexpected.
Meanwhile, Satoru stood not far away, arms crossed, shrugging.
"That girl insisted. I told her it was dangerous, but she refused to listen. By the way, I didn't expect you to have a girlfriend, Eiji. This news is more shocking than anything. Wow, you have good taste."
"..."
Ignoring his cousin's teasing, Eiji just sighed softly, raising his weak hand to pat Nino's back. He tried to calm the girl who seemed very worried.
"I… I'm fine."
"Do you know how worried I was just seeing you on the screen? Every time I saw you get hurt, I felt my heart ache."
However, Nino didn't seem calm. She pulled away from the hug, looking at him with reddened eyes.
"Sorry, I was wrong."
Knowing that it was useless to argue with women, Eiji easily admitted his mistake.
"Never do something like this again."
"Okay, I promise."
"..."
Seeing the two lovebirds showing their affection, Satoru, who was still single, felt a little envious. Looking at the surrounding scene, which was only destruction, he had to admit his cousin's talent in developing the Limitless Technique surpassed the Gojo Clan ancestors.
However, he didn't realize that the destructive power was largely due to the power of the Kanjo Kanjo no Mi Devil Fruit. Just the Limitless Technique wasn't enough to produce such powerful damage.
"Congratulations on defeating the King of Curse, it seems that the title of Strongest is only worthy of you, Eiji." Satoru said casually, not caring that the title of Strongest was taken from him.
"Sorry, Satoru Nii-san. I failed to save Fushiguro Megumi."
"..."
Hearing Eiji's apology, Satoru fell silent for a moment.
"Forget it, Eiji, it's not your fault. On the contrary, it's my fault for not anticipating Sukuna's desire for Megumi's body."
It would be a lie if Satoru said he didn't feel anything about Megumi's death. After all, he had taken care of Megumi since he killed the other party's father and had been taking care of him since Megumi was still an elementary school student.
Deep down, Megumi was like his son.

After that, the three of them returned to Jujutsu High School. Eiji's arrival was greeted with cheers from everyone, especially Panda, Yuta, and Toge, they threw Eiji into the air as a form of celebration.
Most of the people present didn't know Eiji, but they had witnessed his incredible power and the defeat of the Strongest Jujutsu Sorcerer in History.
Then, they had a party until everyone was drunk.
The next day, everyone started getting busy. With the death of the Culling Game initiator, Kenjaku, and Sukuna who was the Game Master, the Culling Game officially ended.
The ancient Jujutsu Sorcerers were almost gone, they had all been hunted by Kenjaku before. As for the novice Jujutsu Sorcerers who awakened their Innate Techniques due to the Culling Game, many of them were captured by military forces sent from various countries after Kenjaku revealed the Jujutsu World to the leaders of developed countries.
Moreover, Eiji caused massive damage in Shinjuku, it was impossible to cover it up. In the end, the government no longer kept the Jujutsu World a secret from ordinary people. Inevitably, this sparked a commotion in society, an event similar to when people learned about the existence of mutants in the Marvel World. They were envious and afraid of the existence of Jujutsu Sorcerers.
The chaos was successfully quelled after society learned that the cause of the disappearance of more than ten thousand people every year was due to Cursed Spirits. Without Jujutsu Sorcerers, Cursed Spirits would roam freely, hunting humans for food.
In other words, the current peace is the effort of the Jujutsu Sorcerers who struggle in the darkness.
With this, and other propaganda, society gradually began to accept the presence of Jujutsu Sorcerers in their lives. Not a few of them wanted to become Jujutsu Sorcerers to gain superpowers like in manga.
Meanwhile, Yuta and the others tried to save the kidnapped Jujutsu Sorcerers. Unfortunately, they didn't succeed in saving them all.
It's impossible for them to invade other countries, right?
As a result, each country that participated in the Culling Game gained dozens of Jujutsu Sorcerers, who would be used as experimental subjects to research their brains, which are the circuits of Cursed Techniques.
With the presence of Kamiki Eiji and Gojo Satoru in Japan, the walking human nuclear bombs, the governments of various countries didn't dare to kidnap Jujutsu Sorcerers anymore. If they provoked those two men, they were worried that their central government buildings would be bombed by them.
Even the arrogant country that claimed to be the World Police, the United States, which usually treated Japan as a subordinate country, now issued economic policies that benefited Japan to strengthen the cooperative relationship between the two countries.
