Jujutsu Kaisen: I Can Travel Back in Time-Chapter 25 - 19 Oops! I forgot about the curtains!

Gojo Satoru was relieved that he hadn't encountered this special-grade cursed object from the Kamo family in his previous timeline.

If he had, back then, he might not have been able to break this seemingly impenetrable domain with just Cang.

Luckily, even though he hadn't fully mastered his domain expansion in this life yet, he could feel that his cursed energy reserves had already reached the level he had at twenty-nine.

Whether or not he could activate his domain now was simply a matter of execution.

And for someone with the mind of a seasoned sorcerer, that wasn't much of an issue.

Focusing, Gojo extended his hand, channeling pure cursed energy outward. A massive black sphere formed around him, expanding rapidly, forcing back the space of the opposing domain.

For a split second, Geto Suguru felt as if his entire world flickered—

First, an infinite stretch of blinding white light.

Then, suffocating darkness.

And in that moment of disorientation, he saw it—

A pair of vast, all-seeing eyes.

The sensation was suffocating, as if he were staring into a black hole, something so absolute that he would be swallowed up in the next second.

Then—

A firm grip on his shoulder grounded him.

"Suguru. This is my domain—'Infinite Void.' Not bad, right?"

Gojo's voice snapped him out of it.

As his senses returned, Geto turned his head slightly—

And immediately regretted it.

Gojo's sunglasses were off.

Those pale blue eyes, far too sharp, far too clear, were staring right at him.

Annoyed, Geto clicked his tongue. "Put those back on. Staring at you for too long is exhausting."

Gojo smirked. "Didn't know my presence was that overwhelming for you."

Geto sighed. "Yeah, it's called a headache."

Ignoring him, Geto quickly took in their surroundings.

Suspended in midair was a massive, grotesque heart, beating erratically, visibly struggling against Gojo's domain.

Gojo Satoru had actually managed to unleash a full domain expansion at seventeen.

Geto let out a slow breath, forcing himself to ignore the uneasy feeling creeping up on him.

Before the eerie atmosphere could settle, Gojo snapped his fingers, and the domain shattered like glass.

The moment it dispersed, Geto found himself standing in a dilapidated house.

Dust and cobwebs covered every surface, the air thick with mustiness.

Conan adjusted his glasses, frowning. "Is this the real haunted house?"

Kurosaki Ichigo was practically buzzing with excitement. "Was that a domain expansion?! That was insane!"

Ignoring him, Geto's eyes swept the room. "Wait. Where's Kamo Chiya?"

Gojo, now casually leaning against the doorway, had already retrieved his sunglasses and slid them back on.

"Oh, him?" Gojo yawned. "He probably thinks that if he finds the big heart first, he can restore the Kamo family's reputation."

Smiling mischievously, Gojo raised a hand.

"Everyone, stand back! 'Cang.'"

A sphere of white light exploded outward, swallowing the house in an instant.

From outside, it looked as if a glowing sphere had engulfed the entire structure.

Then—

A deafening BOOM.

The building collapsed inward, debris disintegrating into dust.

Where the house once stood, a massive crater remained.

Floating midair, Gojo had grabbed Geto's sleeve to stop his fall, while Ichigo had caught Conan and transported him to safety.

In the center of the crater—

A grotesque, pulsating heart.

Countless blood vessels stretched from it in every direction, some rooted in the earth, others connected directly to human bodies.

People.

The missing victims—Konishi Hayami, Yukawa Ryu, Ito Kimiyo, and others—

Bound to the heart by thick, blood-red veins.

Geto's stomach churned. "What is this?"

Gojo hummed. "Looks like this thing doesn't just drain blood. It circulates it back into the hosts, keeping them alive indefinitely."

Geto frowned. "So if we cut the veins, can they still... survive?"

Gojo shook his head. "Not on their own. The bond is keeping them alive. If we cut it, they'll go into shock and die instantly."

Then, smirking, he added, "But, lucky for us—you can fix that."

Geto blinked. "What?"

Gojo crossed his arms. "You're the only one who can override this bond. If you absorb this thing into your arsenal, you should be able to control the connection and free them without killing them."

Geto hesitated.

His Cursed Spirit Manipulation had a limit—he could only absorb spirits weaker than himself.

And this...

This thing was a hybrid of a special-grade cursed spirit and a special-grade cursed object.

He wasn't sure if he had the strength to take it in.

But then—

Gojo had just shattered a domain expansion like it was nothing.

That flicker of competitiveness in Geto refused to back down.

"I'll try."

"That's more like it." Gojo grinned.

Then—

"Oh, and by the way—can you let go of me now?"

Geto stiffened, just now realizing that Gojo had grabbed his sleeve to stop his fall earlier.

With an exaggerated sigh, Gojo let go. "There. Happy now?"

Not even bothering to acknowledge that, Geto turned back to the cursed object.

Focusing, he extended a hand.

A surge of blue cursed energy erupted from his palm, engulfing the monstrous heart.

The opposing energy resisted violently, writhing against his pull.

But Geto stood firm, gritting his teeth.

As he struggled to subdue the entity, Gojo casually scanned the area with his Six Eyes.

And there—

A figure, crouching at the edge of the crater.

Kamo Chiya.

Trying to sneak away.

Gojo's smirk widened.

"Oh, no you don't."
