Spell Return: The Wheel of Time

Chapter 397 The decisive battle begins

This was probably the first time in the modern world of sorcery that sorcerers, curse casters, and even cursed spirits had put aside their respective positions and joined forces. Each of them, including Shen Yuanyi, who was the target of the crusade, had their own goals.

Some of the sorcerers wanted to cooperate with Shen Yuanyi to complete this grand performance, while others sincerely wanted to defeat him and make him stay for a while. Even if they lost, at least they had to show their growth so as not to disappoint him, right?

In addition, there is also the idea of ​​having a real fight with Shen Genichi, such as Gojo Satoru, Kujuu Yuki and others. The battle between the top spell-casting masters is not something you can encounter often, not to mention that there are many things that do not need to be considered in this battle. Is there a better opportunity than this?

The reason why Sukuna, Masato and other cursed spirits joined the war was also very simple: they had no choice. For Masato, their original goal of creating a new world dominated by cursed spirits had become impossible since the variable of Shen Genichi appeared.

Of course he could hide, cross the ocean and escape to some remote corner of the world. As long as the source of God left this world, he could come out and stir up trouble again. However, the real person's wisdom and thinking ability, which was almost the same as that of a human, made it impossible for him to be an ostrich.

The situation in the world has changed dramatically. Spells have now entered everyone's field of vision. Due to the special nature of spells, the more sorcerers awaken, the more prosperous spells will be.

Apart from anything else, at least the probability of the appearance of spells that break the rules will be greater. Although the proportion of sorcerers will certainly not be too high, with the huge population base in the world, the number of this group will be a very terrifying number.

It is true that cursed spirits are born from people’s negative emotions, and as long as people exist, the curse will not perish. But in the future world, is it really possible for cursed spirits to rise again?

Zhenren thought it was unlikely. He had also seen the changes in the Japanese sorcery world, the emergence of the power of new sorcerers, and the widespread use of techniques such as curse bones. In the past, auxiliary supervisors could only play a supporting role, but now several people could work together with standard curse bones and curse tools to exorcise some low-level curses.

They are understanding and developing spells as human technology! In the foreseeable future, low-level curses and cursed spirits may be born more and faster, but they will be exorcised faster.

The only way for the cursed spirits is to achieve victory in high-end combat power, and then form a trend of oppression from top to bottom to destroy the human world. After all, current technological weapons cannot cause any harm to the cursed spirits.

But the biggest problem lies here. When it comes to high-end combat power or sorcerers, they are even more prominent in this regard. Even if we don't mention Shen Yuanyi who made him despair, just people like Gojo Satoru are enough to give him a headache.

This fact would not have changed much even if Sukuna was resurrected. The reason why he agreed to Nozomi's plan was because he himself could not think of any solution, so he decided to take it one step at a time. And now that General Shen Yuanyi was going to leave on his own initiative, it was the only good news among all the bad news. As long as they cooperated with him to complete the end of this performance, the life and death of the general themselves would not be important. What was important was that the 'God' who should not exist in the world was finally leaving.

The future is changing rapidly. After being separated from all this, even if it is a "god" who can weave the future, there is no way to make everything go according to his expectations, right? Perhaps only in this way can the cursed spirit have the possibility of the future.

As for Nozomi, who played a significant role in this decisive battle, his purpose was even simpler, that was to have fun. It didn't matter to Nozomi what the world of sorcery or the entire world became like. He just wanted to see and participate in more major events that were "interesting" enough.

Shen Yuanyi's purpose has never been hidden from the beginning. He just wanted to see what the future of sorcery and mankind would be like if he followed this route. This decisive battle was to prevent the overall situation from collapsing due to excessive promotion behavior. If the individual sorcerers can withstand a nuclear bomb, it means that it is difficult for human weapons to pose a threat to them.

For people with a strong sense of crisis, in order to avoid the worst possible outcome caused by such a situation, developing spells is inevitable, but developing new and more destructive weapons is also inevitable. Nuclear weapons are enough to destroy today's human civilization several times over. To develop some dangerous weapons and take a big step or go astray is not a good thing.

Therefore, Shen Yuanyi needs to use a decisive battle as the closing "performance". He wants to use this to tell everyone: no matter how powerful an individual is, he will eventually fall.

Compared to an enemy whose power is concentrated in one individual, humans are actually better at confronting in groups. When there are too many people, there will be variables. Even if this group has defeated that incredibly powerful individual, it is acceptable to the White Eagle or other forces. After all, the concerns of one person can be almost non-existent, but it is different for a group of people. If nothing else, at least the deterrence between the two sides will return to a balanced state.

In the future, the new "Neon" will no longer be able to cause attacks similar to those that occurred in the White Eagle territory before. Individuals cannot be destroyed, but groups and this land can. By then, mankind's top weapons will still pose a threat that cannot be ignored.

To put it simply, those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes, but if you have a big family and a big business, there are too many things to consider.

……

Of course, although the final result of this decisive battle is definitely that Shen Yuan will "lose", he does not intend to let it go. On the contrary, he still has to really do his best. Sometimes, if you want to make progress and breakthroughs, you really need some pressure and coercion from the outside world, so...

"Let me make it clear first, I will not reverse your fate, so... be careful not to be killed by me."

What happened faster than these words was a blade that pierced through Gojo Satoru's chest. The sudden change seemed to verify Shen Genichi's words and also shocked everyone. However, after all, everyone present was an experienced veteran, and they reacted immediately the next moment and released their own spells.

However, the one who got one step ahead of everyone else was naturally Otsutsuki, who copied the Wheel of Time. After entering the time-accelerated state of timelessness, it was as if there was an extra round in the turn-based game where only the two of them could play.

Facing the attack launched by Otsutsuki holding the cursed sword, Shenyuanyi drew out Tianyuhazan. The subsequent fight between the two sides was just a momentary collision, and the outcome was decided.

The cursed sword in Yuta Otsutsuki's hand broke neatly, and under the cut, his chest was also cut in half by the blade. If it weren't for the sorcerer's physical fitness and the healing of Otsutsuki's reversal technique, this knife would probably have ended the battle completely.

Shen Yuanyi raised the famous cursed sword in his hand, and ignored Otsutsuki who was healing his wounds. Instead, he smiled and explained, "Ame-no-Habezan, the legendary artifact that killed the snake. Of course, this legend is not a legend in terms of curse. I did use it to kill the unprecedented cursed spirit - Yamata no Orochi, and its technique is also very simple. I call it 'Cut Off'. As the name suggests, its ability is to simply cut off matter, cursed power... As long as it is an objective thing, it can cut it off."

"Otsutsuki, are you ready?"

The horrific wound on Yuta's chest had disappeared. After listening to Shen Yuanyi's explanation, he became even more wary of the fierce knife in the former's hand. What does it mean to have a sharp weapon that can cut through anything? This means that there are many more things to consider when fighting with it, and many tactics may need to be changed.

With this in mind, Otsutsuki was also very decisive. He no longer tried to fight Shenyuan in the accelerated state of time, but immediately released another method of using the Wheel of Time that he had studied for a long time. "Increasing the number of targets of the spell and offsetting some of the consumption with the barrier spell is a good idea."

Gojo Satoru, Kujuku Yuki, Zenin Kei, Sukuna... several people were finally able to break free from the real flow of time under the time acceleration spread by Otsutsuki and intervened in this completely unfair battle.

"Genichi, this knife of yours is really badass. It can even pierce through space. It's really..."

Gojo Satoru was naturally familiar with this state. As soon as he entered this speed of time, he naturally started to complain. When he had no reaction to the previous knife, after Shenyuanyi accelerated time, holding the divine weapon that could "cut off" everything, he automatically activated the unlimited strength and was completely unable to block such an attack.

However, Shen Yuanyi's sword had no intention of ending the battle immediately, and he didn't even hit the heart, a vital part. It was just a random stab. It wouldn't be difficult for Gojo Satoru, who also mastered the reversal technique, to heal such an injury.

Ding--

There was a sharp sound of metal colliding. It turned out that Shen Yuanyi swung the blade in his hand, but no one around him launched an attack. Only Sukuna had a gloomy face. It was an "eight" he launched silently, but the invisible slash was captured and intercepted.

"Sure enough... this guy said that he is not the same person from a thousand years ago, but their methods are exactly the same. The one now may even be stronger. I haven't felt this way for a long time. It's so exciting!"

Sukuna's attack became the signal to start the war. The next moment, the Phoenix Wheel kicked out by Jiujiu Yuki broke through the air and made a sharp sonic boom and came in front of Shenyuanyi. The last Shikigami of the Ten Shadows, Makura, also descended from behind Zenin Hui.

Hold the knife and chop vertically.

Tianyu Yuzan can even cut through invisible cursed energy and concrete spells. How could Huanglun, who is just a curse-materialized shikigami, possibly withstand this blow? The blade flashed and Huanglun was split vertically into two halves.

However, the greatest lethality of the Phoenix Wheel kicked out by Jiujiu Yuki through his own technique [Star Fury] is only the powerful kinetic energy attached to it. The fact that the Phoenix Wheel was split in half does not affect its continued forward shooting.

However, Shen Yuanyi slightly turned sideways while slashing, and the two pieces of debris passed by his side and instantly fell to the ground, creating two large holes.

"Hey, that knife of his is too troublesome. I can't even launch a close combat attack. Come up with a solution!"

The corner of Jiujiu Yuki's eye twitched. Her technique could make her punches and kicks contain tremendous power. As long as she fought in close combat, the enemy would be blown up on the spot if he was not careful. But at this moment, the cursed sword in Shenyuan's hand that could cut through anything made it very difficult for her. The Phoenix Wheel was essentially a cursed spirit. As long as the core was not destroyed, it could be restored later.

Moreover, even if it was destroyed, it was just a tool after all. But if she was accidentally hit a few times, she would probably lose her combat effectiveness immediately or even die.

Gojo Satoru on the side did not respond to Kujuku Yuki immediately. He was waiting for an opportunity, that is, the Mokuro summoned by Hui. It can be said that this powerful Shikigami who can constantly adapt to the enemy's means of attack is one of their important pillars in this battle. However, what Kujuku said is not wrong. They have to find a way to deal with Genichi's sword, otherwise it will be too restrictive.

Moxu Luo, this Shikigami Shen Yuanyi is naturally very familiar with it, including its terrifying upper limit and the way to deal with it. As long as he immediately expands the domain and kills this guy in one fell swoop using the first sight killing method, the problem can naturally be solved.

But this is not Shen Yuanyi's purpose, otherwise this battle would be meaningless. The arbitrarily reversing time and having the "future vision" would make this battle an extremely unfair one, because Gojo Satoru and others have no chance of winning at all. However, the real meaning of this decisive battle is not in itself, but in the deeper purposes hidden behind it.

Therefore, Shen Yuanyi chose another path. He wanted to see who would win between himself now and the fully adapted Moxu Luo.

Tian Yuyu slashed down, and the arm blade on Moxu Luo's arm and half of its body were cut in half, but this horrible injury actually began to heal and grow visibly in the next second.

Shen Yuan took a step forward and rushed towards Moxu Luo who was recovering and adapting. However, the next moment he found that the distance between him and Moxu Luo not only did not shorten, but instead widened a lot.

Then Shenyuan rushed towards Gojo Satoru and smiled slightly, and the former's figure appeared in the position that was very close to Moxu Luo in the previous moment as if skipping frames.

"Satoru, you just divided this part of space into almost 'infinity', but the 'point' where I stood in the last moment of time cannot be divided. I only need to turn back a little bit of time to pass through the obstacles you set."

He swung his sword to shatter the flying flaming arrows, and the exploding fire storm engulfed the Divine Source in an instant, but at the same time a large amount of water gushed out from the void around the Divine Source. They collided with the flames that tried to truly swallow up the Divine Source, but there was not even a trace of water vapor that should have been there.

Because they are not real water, but only a part of the mantra that has undergone a change in properties and manifested itself as materialized mantra with the appearance of water.

The raging flames burned mercilessly, and these spell powers naturally could not put out the fire. The gap between the two sides was like throwing a bottle or a basin of water into a burning wildfire, but Chen Feijue had more than just that "drop" of water. If he dried up a basin, he still had a pool, and if he dried up a pool, he still had a lake.

The endless investment of cursed power finally extinguished Sukuna's fire arrow. At the same time, in this brief opportunity, Mokhtar stood up again intact and completed the initial adaptation to the "slash".

"By the way, is this an alternative version of the spear and shield? The technique is the Tianyu Yuzhan that cuts through everything. Can it cut through the Moxu Luo that has adapted to it? This is quite interesting..."
