Outside Aokigahara Forest, Kenjaku watched everything happening inside the Curtain through a Cursed Spirit.
"It's useless. That Curtain is a combination of four Special Grade Cursed Spirits and strengthened with a Binding Vow. Even if Gojo Satoru were trapped, he would need time to destroy it."
"But... I won't give you that time."
Kenjaku was slightly worried Kamiki Eiji would escape due to his sharp intuition. Fortunately, the outcome was as expected.
"Now, let's see how long you can last."
With a smile on his face, Kenjaku formed a specific pattern with his palms.
"Cursed Spirit Manipulation."
❀❀❀
Inside the Curtain, Eiji's eyebrows furrowed slightly.
'Whatever Kenjaku's intention in trapping me here, it's clearly not good. I need to leave quickly.'
As he prepared to launch a large-scale attack, the situation changed again.
*Crush-Bang*
The ground exploded, and from within, a surge of Cursed Spirits emerged. In no time, the Curtain was filled with various Cursed Spirits.
'So that's it. Is the plan to exhaust me and deplete my Cursed Energy? He even revealed one of his trump cards, ten million Cursed Spirits.'
Seeing Cursed Spirits everywhere, almost leaving no empty space in the Curtain, Eiji couldn't count them because there were too many.
Ten million Cursed Spirits!
When the Hyakki Yakou incident occurred in Tokyo, Shinjuku, and Kyoto, the Jujutsu Headquarters mobilized almost all Jujutsu Sorcerers. Note that during that incident, there were only over a thousand Cursed Spirits.
And now, Eiji had to face ten million Cursed Spirits alone.
"This will be the hardest life-and-death situation I've ever faced."
Despite the crisis, Eiji's expression didn't change. He always looked calm in any situation.
"…"
Under Kenjaku's distant manipulation, the ten million Cursed Spirits began to attack simultaneously.
"Cursed Technique Lapse: Blue."
Planting his Leaf Blade into the ground, Eiji created two energy orbs at his fingertips, then fired them forward and backward.
*Whoosh*
*Whoosh*
Blue emitted a strong gravitational pull like a black hole, instantly sucking in the approaching Cursed Spirits.
Due to the dense number of Cursed Spirits, this attack alone wiped out thousands in one go.
Of course, some Cursed Spirits managed to reach Eiji, launching attacks. However, not a single attack landed on him.
Infinity made their attacks ineffective.
"Die."
Raising his hand, flames appeared around him, burning everything within a 20-meter radius.
"Cursed Technique Reversal: Scarlet."
Creating an energy orb with a temperature equal to the sun's surface at his fingertip, Eiji threw it into the sky.
*BOOM*
The airborne Cursed Spirits turned to ash as the energy orb spewed flames expanding up to a 500-meter radius.
"Cursed Technique Lapse: Blue."
"Cursed Technique Reversal: Red."
Two blue and red energy orbs appeared behind Eiji, two opposing forces starting to integrate under his control.
The repelling and attracting forces combined, producing a new force from the fusion of the two.
A purple energy orb accompanied by purple lightning distorted the surrounding space.
"Hollow Technique: Purple."
Eiji let Purple rush forward, destroying all Cursed Spirits in its path.
Thanks to Infinity, he ignored the bombardment of Cursed Spirits, focusing on launching large-scale attacks without worrying about interruptions.
*BOOOMMM!*
Purple's explosion spread in all directions, obliterating hundreds of thousands or even millions of Cursed Spirits.

"Damn it! Turns out Geto was right, Kamiki Eiji is incredibly strong! If he's this strong, how strong is Gojo Satoru?"
At one end of the Curtain symbolizing the Vermillion Bird, Jogo clasped his hands, keeping the Curtain stable and preventing it from collapsing alongside Hanami, Mahito, and Dagon positioned elsewhere.
"Ha ha ha... So this is Kamiki Eiji's true power. So strong, I really want to devour his soul!"
At the end of the Curtain symbolizing the Azure Dragon, Mahito laughed after seeing the destructive power displayed by Eiji. Not only was he unafraid, but he was also increasingly eager to devour the other party's soul.
"No wonder Geto holds Kamiki Eiji in high regard. He truly is a threat to Cursed Spirits. He must die here."
At the end of the Curtain symbolizing the White Tiger, Hanami was entirely focused on maintaining the Curtain. The other's recent attack almost caused the Curtain they created to collapse.
"…"
At the end of the Curtain symbolizing the Black Tortoise, Dagon's body was wet with his own fluid. Unlike his three partners, although he was also a Special Grade Cursed Spirit, he was still in the stage of a cursed womb and not yet fully formed.
❀❀❀
"Amazing, Kamiki Eiji! In such a short time, you've exterminated 1.2 million Cursed Spirits. Indeed, no Six Eyes bearer is weak. You all are always the biggest obstacle in my plans."
Watching Eiji annihilate 1.2 million Cursed Spirits in less than 10 minutes, Kenjaku's heart ached a little.
That was all his accumulation over more than a thousand years!
"Sure enough, the tactic of hordes of Cursed Spirits is ineffective against him. First, Infinity must be tackled. Otherwise, Kamiki Eiji might keep launching large-scale attacks without worrying about defense."
Kenjaku had been defeated twice by Six Eyes bearers in the past, understanding well how troublesome Infinity was.
Of course, he wasn't just relying on ten million Cursed Spirits to kill Eiji.
"Now, enjoy the Cursed Object I specially prepared for you, Kamiki Eiji."
Seeing Eiji prepare to use Purple once again, Kenjaku immediately activated another trump card.
❀❀❀
On the battlefield.
The integration process of Blue and Red failed because Eiji received attacks from all directions.
"What?! Infinity... Neutralized?!"
Unfortunately, he wasn't given time to think, as Cursed Spirits continuously attacked him.
*Whoosh*
A super strong repelling force expelled all nearby Cursed Spirits. Eiji took advantage of this moment to pull out the Leaf Blade embedded in the ground.
After that, his figure moved at Subsonic+ speed. Relying on superhuman physical strength, he conducted a massacre.
*Slash Slash Slash*
Each slash killed one Cursed Spirit.
Unlike previous attacks that would obliterate Cursed Spirits along with their bodies, Eiji's attacks caused corrosive purple blood and corpses to scatter on the ground.
Regarding this, there was nothing he could do. Without Infinity, Eiji didn't have a second to use Limitless Technique.
As a result, his body got contaminated with blood every time he slashed a Cursed Spirit. After all, there were still over eight million Cursed Spirits left.
Facing the siege, it was impossible for Eiji to perfectly dodge every incoming attack.
"This is endless."
His hands never stopped swinging the sword, and he had to maneuver at high speed, which required concentration.
"The efficiency of this method isn't as good as before. To change this situation, I need to find the cause of Infinity's failure."
Stepping on a Cursed Spirit's head until it died, Eiji leaped up while eliminating the obstructing Cursed Spirits with the sword in his hand.
At a height of 30 meters, the Six Eyes scanned the entire area covered by the Curtain.
He tried to find the Cursed Spirit with the ability to nullify his Infinity or perhaps a Cursed Object with a similar function.
"This isn't easy, huh..."
Various energy-based attacks were fired by various Cursed Spirits on the ground.
*Slash*
Eiji slashed the incoming attacks, but the shockwave blew him to the ground.
Even as he fell, he never stopped killing the nearby Cursed Spirits.
The battle continued.
