Chapter 17 Heaven and Earth, I Alone Am Supreme
What kind of world do you want to create?
Upon hearing Gojo Satoru's highly unexpected question, Lu Ping was slightly taken aback.
However, his answer came out very quickly.
"A world where everyone can have power."
These are Lu Ping's honest thoughts.
He had long felt that ordinary people were too miserable in the world of Jujutsu Kaisen.
He was turned into a cyborg monster, instantly killed by a wide-range attack, eaten by a cursed spirit, and wiped out as trash by a psychopathic sorcerer (Xia Youjie).
Most importantly, they have absolutely no way to become stronger.
This is what Lu Ping dislikes the most.
Other extraordinary worlds, no matter how unfair or dog-eat-dog they may be, at least offer ordinary people a path to upward mobility.
Whether through diligent training, genetic mutation, or mechanical ascension, they can all gain power to some extent and carve out a space for survival for themselves.
But the curse cannot return to the world.
Let alone ordinary people, even the sorcerers who return to the world of curses are divided into different classes from birth. The total amount of curse power of each person is fixed, and the only thing that can be changed is the strength of the output.
Gojo Satoru is the strongest because he was born with six eyes and no limits, possessing the most exaggerated talent in the world of sorcery.
The reason why Yuta Otsuki was a Special Grade Spirit from the moment he entered school was because he was born with almost limitless magical power. He could turn the dead Rika into a Special Grade Spirit Spirit simply by thinking unconsciously.
Lu Ping loathed this worldview that predetermined who was strong and who was weak.
Therefore, he wanted to change the world.
Perhaps it was this inner obsession that led him, after being reborn as a cursed spirit, to gradually develop his ability of "non-action transformation" towards "spell awakening."
"A world where everyone can possess power?"
Upon receiving the unexpected answer from Lu Ping, Gojo Satoru's pupils constricted.
This statement seems to have the same meaning as Xia Youjie's "a world with only sorcerers", but the starting point is completely different.
Xia Youjie's starting point is "sorcerer". He takes "sorcerer" as his core value. He despises the ugliness of mortals and the darkness of human nature. Therefore, he is willing to kill all mortals to cleanse the world of its sins and create a world where only sorcerers exist.
But Lu Ping's starting point is "human beings," with "ordinary people" as his focus. He pities the struggles and suffering of mortals, but he does not regard himself as a superior being to save mortals. Instead, he empowers mortals to save themselves and change the world.
To be honest, Gojo Satoru was starting to believe that the man in front of him was truly a "Holy Spirit".
just.
He still couldn't accept this overly naive viewpoint.
"Have you ever considered that power can lead to chaos, and that the dark side of human nature can never be erased, whether they are ordinary people or sorcerers?"
Gojo Satoru had long understood that whether it was humans, sorcerers, or spirits, there were scum and heroes among them.
He had seen the ugliest sorcerers and the most harmless cursed spirits.
As long as there are intelligent beings, they will always generate complex and chaotic thoughts. The more these thoughts intertwine and their power increases, the more dangerous they become.
"I know."
Lu Ping shrugged, a nonchalant expression on his face, and said.
"I never said I wanted to erase the darkness of humanity. I just handed them the key. What they become is none of my business."
"Theories of destiny and bloodline are really boring."
"you!"
Suddenly, Gojo Satoru's pupils contracted, and his six eyes opened to their maximum, as he carefully sensed Lu Ping's every heartbeat frequency and fluctuations in his incantation power.
I'm not lying!
Yes, Lu Ping was not lying.
He was not a saint, and the purpose of founding the Holy Spirit Cult was not to save all living beings, to empower ordinary people, or for any purpose of "universal harmony".
It was simply a matter of increasing power while also taking the opportunity to overturn the boring theory of bloodline.
"However, for now I'm maintaining a lawful and neutral stance. If I really encounter someone who disgusts me or annoys me, I'll just kill them."
Lu Ping shrugged and added.
He never sets limits for himself.
With a flexible moral compass, he would equally elbow down anyone who displeased him.
Whether he is a curse spirit, a sorcerer, a curse master, or a follower of the Holy Spirit who worships him.
"..."
Gojo Satoru activated his Six Eyes again and discovered that this time, Lu Ping was not lying either.
What exactly does this guy want?!
If you call him a saint, he also says he doesn't care about the darkness of human nature, and he doesn't care whether ordinary people will turn evil after gaining power.
If you call him a chaotic and amusing person, he also says he will kill anyone who displeases him. Judging from the current behavior of the Holy Spirit Cult, most of the people who displease him are bad people who do not meet moral standards.
So what exactly does he want to do?
As if he could see through Gojo Satoru's thoughts, Lu Ping chuckled, hooked his arm around the other's shoulder, and said with a grin.
"Simply put, I want the world to operate according to my will, and for everyone to have the ability to defy fate... under the rules and conditions I set."
understood.
Gojo Satoru narrowed his eyes slightly, gently put on the blindfold, and his tone returned to its usual cheerful and carefree manner as he spoke softly.
"You want to be a god."
"More or less."
Seeing Gojo Satoru's appearance, Lu Ping smiled slightly and gently stood up from his seat.
He knew this was a sign that negotiations had broken down and that war was about to break out.
"Or you could say—"
He pointed one finger to the sky and the other to the ground, imitating Gojo Satoru's former style, and uttered that most domineering phrase.
"Above and below heaven, I alone am supreme."
boom!!!!
As soon as Lu Ping finished speaking, a "Cang" attack came at him almost instantly.
That terrifying pulling force instantly shrank the bricks and steel bars of the building into tiny particles. Its destructive power was so terrifying that it could kill an ordinary special-grade curse spirit.
however.
Smoke billowed and dust billowed.
Gojo Satoru used his [Six Eyes] to observe his surroundings, only to find that the man at the core of the "Azure" pull force's burst did not experience any weakening of his curse power fluctuations!
"Hey, you've already decided to fight, yet you're still holding back. How kind of you, Gojo Satoru."
A figure shimmering with golden light slowly emerged from the smoke. To Gojo Satoru's astonishment, the figure rapidly expanded and grew larger at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Dynamax!
The ability shared by Sea King Lupin, Dynamax, allows Lupins from other worlds to grow in size and gain corresponding physical strength in a short period of time.
Since Lu Ping is a cursed spirit and has no physical body, the effect of his Dynamax transformation is—
"His total magical power... is increasing?!"
Gojo Satoru's pupils dilated again.
The man before them, who called himself the "Holy Spirit," had broken the ironclad rules of the sorcery world, causing the total amount of sorcery power that should have remained constant for everyone to skyrocket!
