"Do you remember our talk about...how to create a world where curses no longer exist?" Yuki asked.
'I need to buy time for Larue to move.' She thought.
"No matter what method you adopt...human beings will advance one stage higher. The next stage of humanity...lies in breaking away...from cursed energy," Yuki says.
"No. It lies in optimizing cursed energy," Kenjaku replied.
"Actually... Who are you? I don't get either way," Itadori spoke up.
Yuki sent Itadori an apologetic smile.
"I thought you abandoned that method 12 years ago...when Toji Zen'in died," Kenjaku then pointed out.
"I was talking to Geto. Oh well. I came back to the original principles. Besides, your method has a big hole. Compared to Japan, extremely few jujutsu sorcerers and cursed spirits appear overseas. Tengen's barrier is necessary for optimizing cursed energy. The only ones capable of becoming sorcerers through Tengen and optimizing cursed energy...are the humans of this country. That would mean Japan has a virtual monopoly...on cursed energy. A certain superpower...and the Middle East would not remain silent. Flesh and blood human beings are the energy source...so you can easily imagine the suffering that would result. That is a world far removed...from the ideal that I pursue," Yuki states.
Kenjaku laughed. "So what? We have different objectives. I do not wish for a world without cursed spirits. Or an idyllic and peaceful world. Non-sorcerers. Sorcerers. Cursed spirits. These are all possibilities...of cursed energy in the form of human beings. And yet...there must be more...to human potential. I tried to bring that forth myself. But that doesn't work. What I can create...does not exceed the bounds of my own potential. The answer is always...flickering darkly in chaos. Do you understand? What I should have created was chaos that not even I could control."
(Y/n) narrowed his eyes at Kenjaku, listening to the words that he spoke.
"I have already...extracted the cursed technique," Kenjaku states.
Yuki's eyes widened as she turned to look at Itadori.
"There's a cursed spirit called Mahito, right?! He has a cursed technique that can manipulate the soul!" She asked.
"That guy just absorbed him," Itadori answered.
"Seriously?!" Yuki exclaimed in disbelief.
Kenjaku crouched down and placed his hand on the ground using idle transfiguration.
A giant seal showed up on both the ground and the sky.
'Tengen's barrier?! No... This is...' Yuki trailed off.
"Remote activation of a cursed technique?!" She then exclaimed.
"Thank you, Yuji Itadori. The quality of the cursed spirits' techniques ceases to grow...at the moment they are absorbed by cursed spirit manipulation. Mahito grew during his fight against you. I actually wanted Jogo to grow as well, but never mind," Kenjaku says.
"What have you done?" Yuki asked.
"I remotely cast idle transfiguration...on two types of non-sorcerers who'd already been marked," Kenjaku answered.

In a hospital room, a young girl lay in a hospital bed unconscious.
However, a seal appeared on her forehead which had awoken her from her deep sleep that she had been put in.
✧˖*°࿐
"The people I had ingest cursed objects like Yuji Itadori...and the people with cursed techniques whose brains were meant to be non-sorcerers like Junpei Yoshino. I adjust their brains for sorcery. To the former, I have strength as vessels. To the latter, the capacity to use cursed techniques. And..." Kenjaku trailed off as he untied a ribbon he held with a single snap and sent in flying.
"...as of this moment...I have broken the seal on the cursed objects. Some have been deep in slumber since being exposed to my cursed energy at the time of marking...but they will soon awaken. To deepen their understanding of cursed energy...I will have them fight each other. I carefully chose them and the cursed objects. Think of it as releasing a thousand malevolent Yuji Itadori's," Kenjaku finished explaining.
"A thousand? That's not many. You underestimate human rationality. You think people will kill each other simply because they got power?" Yuki asked.
"Everything has an order. I would not make such an oversight. Your questions are starting to lack perspicacity," Kenjaku replied.
"He's pissing me off. Let's go beat him down!" Yuki exclaimed as she turned toward Itadori.
"Sorry, I can't move right now..." Itadori apologized.
Uraume dropped to their knees beside Kenjaku.
Quiet pants escaped Uraume's lips.
"What happened, Uraume?" Kenjaku asked.
'Reverse cursed technique regenerated my hand, but...' Uraume trailed off. "Poison!" They exclaimed in realization.
"My blood was mixed in with piercing blood. Of course it's poison," Choso replied as if it was obviously
"Wait. There's no backup from Mai. There may still be more of them," Momo spoke up.
"My comrade is protecting Aoi, the girl with the gun, and the suit. They don't belong here," Yuki said as she walked forward.
The ice that (Y/n) had melted with his flames had freed the Tokyo and Kyoto students.
"Can you move?" Panda asked.
"Yeah. I can regulate my body temperature. So no problem," Noritoshi answers.

Somewhere in the battlefield laid Kusakabe.
'I can't take anymore.' He thought.
✧˖*°࿐
"I am still talking. The cursed objects that I provided are what's left of the sorcerers with whom I painstakingly made cows a millennium ago. Sadly, I didn't make a vow with the fox. However, I did not only enter into contracts with sorcerers. But those vows...became null when I obtained this body," Kenjaku states.
Yuki's eyes widened in disbelief. "No way!" She exclaimed.
"This...is the world of the future," Kenjaku then says.
Out of nowhere, multiple cursed spirits appeared raining down on the conversation and surrounded Kenjaku.
"Goodbye... Yuji Itadori. (Y/n) (L/n)," Kenjaku showed the group the prison realm that Gojo was trapped in.
'The prison realm?!' Itadori thought.
"Gojo-sensei!" Itadori yelled.
"I expect much from you both," Kenjaku began speaking again.
"Are you listening, Sukuna? Nine-tailed fox? It is beginning once again. The world of Heian. The golden age of cursed techniques!"
Hearing those words, (Y/n) narrowed his eyes at Kenjaku.
'This bastard's insane. And knowing him, he'll make sure it'll happen too.' (Y/n) thought.
However, a flicker of insanity appeared in his (E/c) eyes which disappeared as quick as it appeared.
'A game, he says? Oh, I'll play your game you fucking parasite of a bastard.' (Y/n) mused.
