Transmigrated Become Sukuna, but the host is Yukinoshita Yukino?

"Mahito!?"

Itadori Yuji's eyes widened in shock and anger as he stared at the humanoid curse on the rooftop.

"You... weren't you killed by Hayashizaki-sensei!?"

Mahito shrugged with a smile. "Well, kind of. But it's not like there's a rule saying you can't come back after dying."

"Actually, I have that guy Hayashizaki to thank for being able to come back." He stuck out his tongue and licked his lips.

"What do you mean...?" Itadori Yuji looked confused.

Could Hayashizaki-sensei really bring the dead back to life? And even if he could, why would he revive this guy?

"I don't really get the details either, but I'm just glad..." Mahito's grin stretched so wide it nearly reached his ears, showing off a full set of bright white teeth. Then his tone suddenly turned chilling. "That I get the chance to kill you myself, Itadori Yuji!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he lunged down from the rooftop. His arm transformed into a huge, razor-sharp scythe as he swung it toward Yuji.

The pink-haired boy quickly flipped backward to dodge. The massive scythe-arm tore through the frost on the ground, leaving a deep gash in the concrete.

Mahito landed and kept up his relentless attack on Yuji. Because of his technique, Idle Transfiguration, which allowed his body to change forms, his attack range was so wide that the other three nearby were affected as well.

Uraume hadn't been informed about Mahito's sudden appearance. He had only been in touch with Kenjaku, and it was only after being forcefully awakened in another timeline that he found out Geto Suguru had been lying to them all along. His real name was Kenjaku.

Someone who could control other people's bodies and techniques by switching brains.

Uraume had learned all of this from Kenjaku himself — in another worldline, while Kenjaku was using the body of Itadori Kaori.

After returning to this world due to the merging of world lines, Mahito finally realized the truth.

But it didn't blame Suguru Geto—or rather, Kenjaku. After all, its relationship with Jogo and Kenjaku was always just mutual use.

This level of deception wasn't a big deal.

What mattered most was that Kenjaku gave it a chance to kill Itadori Yuji.

"Oh, Junpei, you're here too! Long time no see!" Mahito suddenly turned toward Yoshino Junpei, who was frantically dodging scythe attacks, wearing a crazed grin.

Junpei's pupils shrank, and he was just about to summon his shikigami when he noticed his position suddenly shift.

Right after the sound of clapping hands, Todo Aoi's fist landed squarely on Mahito's face as it charged straight in, sending it flying.

"Ice Curse Technique: Frost Wind."

A bone-chilling breath escaped Uraume's lips, rushing at high speed toward Itadori Yuji and Hayato.

Clapping sounds echoed one after another.

Itadori Yuji, Fushiguro Megumi, and Kugisaki Nobara were all swapped out of the freezing zone just in time.

Taking their place were Mahito—still rolling on the ground from Todo's punch—Uraume, who had cast the technique, and a small stone infused with his cursed energy.

Both Mahito and Uraume were frozen by the suddenly-formed ice spikes. The blue-haired curse spirit immediately grumbled, "Can't you aim properly?"

"Don't blame me!" Uraume growled, her face twisted in frustration.

She undid her technique, and the giant ice spikes turned into countless water droplets, freeing both herself and Mahito.

Todo Aoi looked at the two enemies getting ready again, then spoke to his teammates with emotion in his voice: "Just focus on attacking. Leave everything else to me. Trust me!"

As he spoke, he took off his shirt, revealing his muscular body.

"Yeah!!"

Itadori Yuji's eyes lit up with determination and trust in Todo.

"Why are you taking off your shirt?" Kugisaki Nobara asked with narrowed eyes, clearly annoyed.

Fushiguro Megumi and Yoshino Junpei didn't answer. They just summoned their shikigami.

From the shadow beneath Megumi, a black-and-white werewolf with bristling fur leapt out. Behind Junpei appeared his personal shikigami, Shigure—the floating, soft tentacles turning into sharp, flexible spikes.

Facing all five of them, Mahito grinned widely. With a gagging sound, it coughed up a bunch of tiny, dried-out human dolls.

"Multiple Souls: Split Body!"

Laughing wildly, it tossed the shriveled dolls into the air. They began to expand rapidly, transforming into ghostly, twisted heads that lunged at Itadori Yuji and Hayato.

"A wide-range attack that sacrifices accuracy? That makes the switching pointless! Everyone dodge!" Todo Aoi shouted as he jumped back.

But the altered dolls moved too fast and covered too much area. Even though the group reacted quickly, they couldn't fully dodge the attack.

Todo and Itadori Yuji raised their arms to block the blow head-on. Yoshino Junpei used his jellyfish shikigami as a shield. Kugisaki Nobara barely managed to defend herself with her hammer. Only Fushiguro Megumi avoided the attack entirely by sinking into the shadow below with Divine Dog: Totality.

"Todo! That curse spirit called Mahito can only be hurt by attacks that directly affect the soul! Focus on taking down that white-haired girl first!"

After the transformed puppets were used up, everyone was finally able to get away. Itadori Yuji immediately shouted and rushed toward Mahito: "As for this guy, I'll be the one to kill him!"

"Heehee! Just what I wanted!"

Mahito grinned wildly and charged toward Itadori Yuji.

But before Yuji could reach him, several long nails flew past him from behind.

Mahito didn't dodge. His arm morphed into a sharp blade, slashing down the nails mid-air, then swung his blade toward the pink-haired boy now in front of him.

Itadori Yuji quickly slid to dodge, planted his hands on the ground, and kicked Mahito in the stomach, knocking him backward. Mahito grinned viciously and pushed his belly forward—suddenly, a sharp spike shot out, aiming for Yuji on the ground.

Yuji rolled away just in time. He swept his leg in a low kick, but Mahito jumped back to dodge it.

Just as Mahito landed, a burst of cursed energy exploded beside him, blasting him to the ground.

From behind, a girl with orange hair grinned and clenched her fist. "Don't underestimate me, bastard!"

Yuji took the chance and kicked the crouching cursed spirit hard.

A surge of cursed energy exploded like dark lightning. Yuji's kick twisted Mahito's face and sent him flying into a store on the side of the street.

The battle shifted in an instant. Mahito got hit hard by the teamwork of Yuji and Kugisaki Nobara. Meanwhile, Uraume was locked in a fight with Fushiguro Megumi and the other two.

Suddenly, the ground under Uraume seemed to drop. She lost her balance and looked down—an arm reached out from the shadow beneath her and grabbed her right leg, pulling her down. Her foot sank as if into a bottomless swamp.

At the same time, Divine Dog·Totality slashed through the air with its glowing claws, aiming straight for the back of the white-haired girl.

Uraume frowned, and the temperature around her dropped sharply. Megumi had to let go to avoid getting frozen.

Just as Divine Dog was about to land a fatal blow, it crashed into suddenly formed ice crystals. Its claws, sharp enough to injure even special-grade spirits, shattered the ice in front of it—but Uraume used the moment to escape.

A sharp sound tore through the air behind her. Shikigami Max Elephant's tentacle shot out like a spear, but Uraume casually swatted it away. A thin layer of frost formed on the tentacle.

In midair, Todo Aoi dropped down. His strong body spun with a kick, striking Uraume's raised arm and sending her flying.

Uraume landed firmly, then sent waves of giant ice spikes toward the three of them.

They had no choice but to retreat for now.

She fought three people at once but didn't seem at a disadvantage. Her cute face stayed cold like an iceberg.

"Tch. What a pain."

The tough fight made Megumi click his tongue in frustration.

But Todo grinned, full of fighting spirit. "Time to speed things up. Can you two keep up with me?"

The spiky-haired boy frowned, feeling underestimated.

Before he could respond, Todo shot out like an arrow, clapping his hands.

*Clap!*

Suddenly, he and Uraume switched places.

The white-haired girl's eyes widened from the sudden change of scene. Reflected in her pupils was a pitch-black blade, glowing with cold light.

The blade passed just by her cheek, slicing off a few strands of her white hair.

A cold hand slammed hard into Fushiguro Megumi's stomach, and cursed energy exploded on impact.

"...Ugh!"

The blow made Fushiguro's body arch uncontrollably, and a mouthful of blood burst out from his lips.

In the next moment, sharp icicles tore through his flesh, pierced his skin, and shot out from his back. His arched body bent backward like a drawn bow snapping the other way.

Uraume reached out and grabbed the long blade that had slipped from Fushiguro's hand, then swung it behind her in a wide, backward slash.

Just as the icy blade was about to strike Todo Aoi's neck, a clap echoed—Uraume had switched places with him again.

Todo turned and kicked, but an ice wall suddenly rose up and blocked it. His foot punched a deep dent into the wall, but frost quickly crept up from the contact point, spreading along his whole thigh. He yanked his leg out of the ice just in time.

Meanwhile, the jellyfish shikigami used its tentacles to carry the heavily injured Fushiguro Megumi to safety.

"Fushiguro! Are you okay?" Yoshino Junpei supported him, his face full of worry.

"I… I'm not dead yet… *cough cough*," Fushiguro muttered weakly, still coughing up blood.

So this… is what special grade power is?

On the other side, the ice wall suddenly shattered into sharp shards that flew toward Todo Aoi, cutting him all over. The shards that dug into his body sent freezing cold deep into him.

Frost immediately formed around the wounds. His muscles froze stiff, and even his blood seemed to stop flowing.

Itadori Yuji, who had just teamed up with Kugisaki Nobara to punch Mahito flying, saw Todo getting overwhelmed and rushed over to help.

A flying nail came at Uraume, but she dodged to the side. She brought her index and middle fingers together, forming a point, and ice quickly gathered at the tips. She swung her hand forward, aiming at the oncoming Itadori Yuji. The ice at her fingertips shot out like a sword, stabbing toward the pink-haired boy.

Itadori's eyes narrowed sharply. He bent low and barely dodged the strike, then smashed the ice sword with an elbow and rushed in straight at Uraume.

Before he could throw a punch, Uraume calmly tapped her foot.

A small ice mountain shot up from under her feet. Its wide area of effect gave Itadori nowhere to escape—he was instantly trapped in the ice, only half his body still visible.

"…Damn it!"

The pink-haired boy struggled to break free, but this attack was meant to kill him outright so that Ryoumen Sukuna could take over his body. Uraume didn't hold back at all.

He couldn't move at all. If he forced his way out, his frozen limbs might just rip off.

Another ice sword shot from Uraume's fingertips and pierced Itadori Yuji's heart.

His eyes flickered for a brief moment… then slowly dimmed.

Killed by this person… again.

…again.

...

"*Cough cough!* Taking Itadori Yuji's Black Flash head-on… that really sucked."

Mahito had crashed through a display case and landed inside a store in the mall. He pulled himself out of the wall, coughing up a huge mouthful of blood.

That one hit had nearly shattered twenty percent of his soul.

"If it weren't for that woman getting in the way… hehe… I'll just kill her first. Right in front of Itadori Yuji!"

Mahito let out a cold laugh as he walked toward the street.

But suddenly, a black Uzumaki opened up beside him.

"Oh?"

Mahito turned his head in confusion, only to see a badly wounded Kenjaku fall out of the black Uzumaki, clutching his throat as blood leaked through his fingers.

"Isn't that Kenjaku? What happened to him?" he asked in surprise.

"*Cough cough*..." While using reverse cursed technique to heal the serious injuries caused by Fushiguro Toji, Kenjaku said, "Something went a bit wrong. Because of the merging of parallel worlds, you're not the only one who came back from the dead."

"I really didn't expect Zenin Toji to show up at that moment, let alone that he would side with the sorcerers…"

Mahito raised an eyebrow at the badly hurt man and laughed. "That's rare. Even you get caught off guard sometimes? Want me to help you up?"

"Yeah, please."

Mahito reached out and helped Kenjaku to his feet.

*Squelch!*

Mahito's eyes widened as he locked eyes with Kenjaku's cold gaze.

"Sorry, too many things didn't go the way I expected. That means I don't have much time left," Kenjaku said quietly, then activated Cursed Spirit Manipulation.

"You…"

Before Mahito could finish his sentence, his body began to twist and contort.

A terrible scream rang out, but it was too late — he had already turned into a softly glowing orb of light.

...swoosh
