Chapter 178 Oh no, now we really have four eyes (two-in-one)
[80% compatibility with the two-sided Sukuna]
[The Demon-Subduing Shrine has been unlocked.]
Is it because we've been fighting so much lately that our compatibility has increased faster?
The compatibility seems to increase naturally over time, sometimes increasing more than usual, without any discrepancy.
Before this battle with the Ant King, Sukuna's compatibility level was already 78, so it's not too surprising that it has now broken through 80.
Although the compatibility is not much different, it feels like the difference in strength between having a domain and not having one is like two different levels.
"Your eyes..." Amy and Alice, who had been quiet all along, suddenly leaned closer and stared at him.
"It really turned red." The brother and sister sounded surprised.
Human eyes can change color? I've never seen that before, let me observe.
"It's red?" Su Wu took out a mirror and looked at herself.
The six eyes, which were originally glowing blue, have now been replaced by a deep red, like vein blood.
But the skill doesn't affect the use of Six Eyes...? No, Six Eyes seems to have an even greater burden.
Because... two more small eyes appeared under his eyes.
Four eyes... even though they're all red, this is definitely six eyes?! Double the debuff...
He looks more like he's been fleshed by Sukuna now; after the flesh is successfully fused, the other party's eyes turn red.
It's like when Itadori Yuujin is suppressed, and Sukuna takes over his body.
Su Wu's current appearance is similar to that of Gojo Satoru, whose body has been completely taken over by Sukuna.
It wasn't like this before... The only difference is that Sukuna's domain has been unlocked, while Gojo Satoru's hasn't.
So Sukuna's side temporarily overpowered Gojo Satoru's side?
To recover, we'll probably have to wait until Gojo Satoru's domain is unlocked.
A balance must be maintained.
"...I have intermittent conjunctivitis," Su Wu mumbled incoherently, covering her eyes.
How do I make those two newly appeared little eyes disappear...?
Who in their right sense has four eyes?! And thankfully, it didn't turn into four arms...
After thinking about it, it seems that when Yuuji Itadori and Megumi Fushiguro were possessed by Sukuna, they didn't turn into four-armed beings, which means their physical bodies wouldn't allow it.
After all, not everyone is as gifted as Sukuna himself.
Besides, he didn't want four arms; that would be too strange. He couldn't find suitable clothes either; he couldn't very well wear a women's kimono like Sukuna.
Su Wu has a persona of a fashionable and trendy man who changes into a different outfit every day.
As he was trying to close his two extra little eyes, the non-humans present had already seen it all.
Everyone had some skill and eyesight, so they all saw a white-haired human whose blue eyes turned red, and two small eyes appeared below his eyes.
This guy... isn't human?
All the non-humans present had the same thought: no matter how lacking in common sense they were, they understood that this situation would not happen to humans.
"Are you really human?" The Ant King felt deceived.
Is this guy pretending to be human to fool him?
"...Can't you tell the difference?" Su Wu asked irritably.
Can't you tell whether he's human or not? Ants have eaten all sorts of creatures, haven't they?
"The taste was indeed human," the Ant King recalled.
He ate many kinds of meatballs while he was still in the Queen's belly, and of course he remembers that the taste of different races was also different.
For example, the best-tasting food I've ever had is this guy in front of me, who might be human, while the worst-tasting are the two guys next to me.
"Among humans, there are also some mutant species." Su Wu sighed.
After struggling for a long time, he finally managed to close his two little eyes, but the color of his eyes just wouldn't change back.
Forget it, let's just say it's a mutation. If all else fails, let's just say it's colored contact lenses. It's reasonable to want to try red eyes after getting tired of blue eyes, right?
And, even though the small eyes are closed, why does the burden on the six-eyed person still double? Is it because the six-eyed person can still use it even if they are competing?
Why is Su Nuo's compatibility level increasing so fast? He hasn't eaten people or done anything heinous. He's always been a good person.
This guy is the type who increases his compatibility level just by fighting... wait...
His fight with the Chimera Ant King just now seemed somewhat similar to Sukuna's battle with Makura in Shibuya? Could it be because of this increased compatibility...?
"Mutated humans?" Amy and Alice looked at each other in bewilderment.
The observation value has increased again.
I've seen plenty of mutated monsters, like the camping tiger that follows Su Wu, but this is the first time I've ever heard of a mutated human.
"I might as well be blind..." Su Wu took out a pair of black goggles and put them on, completely covering her eyes. No matter which way you looked, you couldn't see the color of her eyes.
The plain black goggles looked ordinary, but Su, the fashionista, added a silver chain to both sides, instantly making them special.
We need to find a way to increase the compatibility of the five characters and balance them out.
While the white hair and red eyes design is cool, the double debuff is really hard to accept.
"Ha..." He touched his nose, feeling the sticky liquid on his fingertips, as if he had returned to the past when the compatibility of the six eyes was still very low.
She gets a nosebleed at the slightest provocation.
The sheer agony of enduring double the six-eye debuff while simultaneously activating the No Limits skill is self-evident.
"I'm leaving now." He disappeared into the midst of a group of non-humans, covered in debuffs.
He blends in perfectly with this group of non-humans, as if he were on their side, the kind of person who would be attacked by humans.
Gojo Satoru's compatibility level... It's currently seventy, and he's only ten points away from the domain. How can he improve those ten points?
Should I stab myself in the neck with a sword? Or in the head? Or should I cut myself in half? Lock myself in prison and throw me eight thousand meters into the ocean? Wait, how would I ever get out of there?
Even if Maro and Kong had the Heavenly Reversal Technique, they wouldn't be able to go to the bottom of the sea 8,000 meters to unseal him.
Why do all these options make him seem like a masochist, committing suicide without saying a word...?
Thinking this, Su Wu unhesitatingly activated the "No Limits" mode, took out the Heavenly Inverse Beans and shoved it into his neck. Afraid that the force wasn't enough, he pushed it into his neck again until he released his grip and the Heavenly Inverse Beans was firmly inserted into his neck. Only then did he feel that it was enough, because he couldn't use any more force, or his neck would break completely.
The spell being used was immediately interrupted.
Because of the Heavenly Reversal Strike stuck in his neck, his Limitless and Azure techniques were interrupted, causing him to fall directly from the sky.
"Wow..." He pulled the Heavenly Reverse Beam from his neck, then slapped his forehead before stabbing it into his head.
"Cough..." Just before he hit the ground, he pulled out the Heavenly Reversal Blade from his head and activated the Limitless skill to prevent himself from falling directly to the ground.
He lay on the ground, not treating himself for a while, but instead closed his eyes as if he were asleep.
It hurts quite a bit.
I've forgotten whether the heart pain was from being stabbed at the comic convention or if it's more painful now.
If I had died from a stab wound to the heart back then, I probably wouldn't be in so much pain now.
But if he were to die directly, it would be too pitiful for someone who only had such a short and boring life.
The boy, who had been lying on the ground almost asleep, opened his eyes, and his injuries were healed in the blink of an eye.
It is precisely because of the existence of the Reversal Technique that he can now do whatever he wants without any panic.
However, turning herself into two sections or something feels a bit out of character, and Su Wu doesn't really like this plot.
He glanced at the compatibility score, which had only increased by two points, and pursed his lips.
Why only two points? Is it because I stabbed myself that I got a discount? Why do I have to let someone else use Tian Ni Mou to stab me?
"Never mind, red eyes are pretty good-looking too." He sighed.
Double the burden is fine, it's just going back to square one, we're pretty much used to it.
Su Wu slept alone on the forest floor before going back to find Maro and Kong, whom he had left with the airship.
The tent was still standing properly, undamaged, and Marlowe, Kate, and Kong were all outside.
Oh, I forgot Kate can't get into the tent.
However, the other person seemed quite happy, training so seriously.
His figure had barely appeared when he was spotted by the two men and the tiger.
"My lord!" The blond youth was excited, as if he had been abandoned not just for a few days, but for months or even years, and his behavior was somewhat exaggerated.
They didn't comment on Su Wu's suddenly added goggles, only praising her for "Your outfit today is full of personal aesthetic sense."
"Hoo hoo, yes." It shouted a couple of times, then remembered that it could speak, so it quickly switched to human language and raised its paw pads as it spoke.
"..." Su Wu was already used to the flattery from the man and the tiger, and didn't feel anything special about it.
Kate, who was seeing this situation for the first time, remained silent for a moment before continuing to scrutinize Kong.
Is the camping tiger really that talkative? Or is it just a special mutated species?
The instinct to observe the habits of large organisms suddenly came to mind.
"Oh, by the way, something happened while you were away, sir..."
"The Nosla family sent a message saying they have something to discuss with you, and they have already completed the transfer of the previous 10 billion..." Maro began to report on the situation of the past few days one by one.
Why is Nosla looking for him?
"Hey, the money's already been paid, there's no need for them to contact us, right? They're not going to ask me to play with them again, are they? We're not taking that service for now." Su Wu waved her hand dismissively.
He's not a mercenary who's really rich and will do anything.
What could you possibly have to talk about with Nosla unless he owed you money or did something to upset him?
Speaking of news...
"My phone is broken, get me a new one," he said casually to Maro.
He can protect himself from the Ant King in a fight, but that might not be the case for others.
For example, Ugly Baby, he would throw it aside when he got into fights. And then there were his clothes and his phone. His phone broke on the first day, and he would change his clothes every time he got into a fight.
That's why we left Maro and Sora here; if they went off to cause trouble with him, they'd likely die.
"They didn't say why, they just said they wanted to pay you, sir, to protect them," Maro said in a low voice.
"Protecting people is too much trouble, I'm not interested, so I'll decline," Su Wu replied casually.
Does he seem like the kind of person who would work as a bodyguard for someone with nothing better to do? Besides, he's not short of money right now.
"I understand. By the way, sir, chimera ants have been spotted all over the world recently, including in Yorkshire. The TV stations are reporting on it and have released footage of those ants eating people in the street," Maro continued.
The adult's phone is broken, so they probably haven't been paying much attention to outside news lately.
"So you finally couldn't keep it a secret anymore." Su Wu chuckled.
Logically speaking, this news should have been leaked long ago, but it had been kept under wraps by various places until now.
"Then the Hunter Association should speed things up too," Su Wu thought to herself, her face full of anticipation for a good show.
With Netero only able to unleash less than half his full power, the outcome of his fight against the Chimera Ant King was already quite clear in Su Wu's eyes.
V5 will put pressure on the Hunter Association, urging them to end this as soon as possible.
So when will the story of the domineering ant king and the human girl begin?
……
Nosla House.
Nyon lay on the bed, a pile of scattered white papers beside her. Holding a pen, she looked puzzled. "Strange, why can't I write anything?"
"Young Miss, what exactly happened to you... and when did it happen?" Da Zuo Nie asked, his head aching.
If word gets out that the young lady can no longer perform fortune-telling for others, the boss will go crazy.
Now that things have come to this, we have to find a solution.
"I don't know, it just suddenly stopped working. I was doing a fortune telling for someone when I was shopping just two days ago..." Nyon's expression remained calm, as if he didn't care that he had lost his ability.
"Honestly, why hasn't Hill replied to my messages yet... The man I met a couple of days ago said he went to a very dangerous place, I wonder how he is now." Nyon rolled around on the bed, somewhat annoyed.
Two days ago, when she went shopping, she met a man who was dressed in a suit, handsome, gentle, elegant and charming. Of course, Nyon did not fall in love at first sight because of his appearance. She just glanced at him a few more times. It was the man who took the initiative to talk to her and said that he seemed to know her.
Then he took out a photo.
A photo of her playing with a white-haired boy at an amusement park.
The man claimed to be the other person's friend, saying that the white-haired boy often mentioned Nyon's existence to his friends.
Nyon's face immediately flushed red, and the way she looked at the man in the suit changed to the way she looked at one of her own.
So when the other person said, "I heard from Hill that you have a rather special talent for divination. I wonder if I would have the honor of having your divination done?" Nyon happily agreed.
I randomly picked a tea shop and did a divination for the other person.
The man who called himself Kuroro said he was from the same hometown as the boy, and they talked about many things that Nyon was interested in, and had a very pleasant conversation.
So when the other person asked other questions, Nyon answered them without any hesitation.
It was a rather pleasant conversation. Nyon felt he understood the white-haired boy better, and at the same time, he felt worried about him.
"Young Miss, you..." Da Zuo Nie took a deep breath.
Instead of worrying about that ruthless and ridiculously strong killer, you should worry about yourself and Nothra's entire family!
If we can't deliver the divination to those gang leaders, we'll all die together.
The BOSS will definitely be the first to die.
Their request for help from the young master of the Pelish family was also rejected.
Exhausted, Da Zuo Nie left the room and called the BOSS.
"How is it? Is Nyon's divination finished?" Wright Nosra asked impatiently as soon as the call connected.
This is his livelihood!
"The young lady's ability... is still unusable," Da Zuo Nie replied with a sigh.
"Damn it! Give me back my Nyon! Give her back her fortune-telling abilities!" The man on the other end of the phone was consumed by impotent rage.
"This is not my Nyon..." he cried out in despair.
"What am I going to do about next month's divination quota...?" He collapsed to the ground, as if all his strength had been drained away in an instant.
"..." Da Zuo Nie and the other person sighed together.
He's already sold himself to the Nosra family; there's no escaping him now. If something happens to the Nosra family, he won't be able to get away either.
I just hope that the young lady has only temporarily lost her powers and will return next month.
