MTS: Marvel and Beyond

Chapter 167: Chapter 167: I'm Your Grandfather

Gojo Satoru was prepared to face the storm of Sukuna's relentless attacks, counting down from ten. But unexpectedly, the so-called strongest sorcerer of this era was completely ignored!

Sukuna abandoned him outright and charged toward Alex instead.

At this moment, Sukuna was far more furious than before. The cursed energy within his body was boiling over, and he unleashed the full power of the single finger in his possession, determined to kill Alex.

However, the outcome remained unchanged.

No matter how much more powerful Sukuna's attacks were—several times stronger than before—he still couldn't touch Alex.

Previously, his attacks missed by mere fractions, and now, they still missed by the same fractions. The reality remained: nothing had changed!

Seeing that Alex was unharmed, Gojo decided not to intervene. Instead, he removed his blindfold and carefully analyzed Alex's technique.

But something astonishing happened.

The normally omnipotent Six Eyes couldn't penetrate Alex's body. In the Six Eyes' cursed energy vision, Alex appeared as a void, a patch of nonexistence—nothing at all.

Yet in normal vision, Alex was clearly there, effortlessly toying with Sukuna.

Gojo's lips curled into a smile. Even his Six Eyes couldn't discern Alex's secrets. It seemed like things were about to get interesting.

He resumed his countdown:

"10... 9... 8..."

When he reached five, his expression shifted slightly, and he almost couldn't hold back from intervening. But after seeing Alex's response, he stopped himself again.

The school building ahead was now mostly destroyed by Sukuna's rampage. Amid the rubble, Alex deftly leapt from stone to stone, dodging Sukuna's strikes with ease.

After attacking hundreds of times to no avail, Sukuna finally realized he couldn't hit Alex in his normal state. Clasping his hands together, he assumed a peculiar stance and declared:

"Domain Expansion: Malevolent Shrine!"

The cursed energy in the surrounding environment surged toward Sukuna, gathering at his command.

An ancient shrine slowly rose behind him, its four corners lined with double rows of jagged teeth large enough to devour anything in their path.

The sky above had transformed into a crimson sea, as though a blood-soaked ocean now hovered ominously in the air.

This was the domain of the King of Curses—Malevolent Shrine, the slaughterhouse that had reaped countless lives. After a thousand years, it had reappeared in the modern era.

The moment the domain unfolded, even Gojo Satoru had to take it seriously. Placing a hand on Megumi Fushiguro's shoulder, he spoke in his usual teasing tone: "Ah, ah, things are getting more and more interesting... Megumi, don't stray too far from me, okay? Inside this domain, even I might not be able to protect you if you wander off."

"Y-Yes!" Megumi instinctively replied, his eyes glued to the ancient shrine ahead.

The domain expansion—this pinnacle of cursed energy manipulation—left Megumi in awe, igniting a longing within him.

When will I be able to deploy my own domain?

Suddenly, noticing Alex standing nearby, Megumi urgently asked,

"Gojo-sensei, aren't we going to help that man? Even if he's fast enough to dodge Sukuna's attacks, inside the domain, techniques are guaranteed to hit. He won't be able to escape anymore!"

Gojo's expression remained playful.

"Megumi, that man isn't just anyone..."

Someone who even Gojo couldn't fully understand and instinctively felt was dangerous—how could he possibly be killed by a single-finger Sukuna?!

Gojo's assessment was spot-on.

As Sukuna's domain took shape and he unleashed his deadly techniques, Alex didn't dodge or flinch.

This time, instead of making subtle movements to avoid the attacks, Alex stood still.

Even as the invisible slashes from Sukuna's attacks sliced through the remains of the school building behind him, Alex's body remained completely unscathed.

It was as if an unbridgeable chasm separated Sukuna and Alex, rendering any attack incapable of touching him.

Witnessing this, both Megumi and Gojo couldn't maintain their composure. In shock, they exclaimed:

"Infinity!"

The Limitless Technique was a hereditary cursed technique of the Gojo family, capable of manipulating space and even controlling atoms. Its use required incredibly precise cursed energy manipulation.

However, such precision was impossible without the support of the Six Eyes.

And the Six Eyes had a unique trait: there could only ever be one wielder at a time. When the current wielder died, a new one would manifest within the Gojo family.

But the Six Eyes for this era had already appeared—Gojo Satoru.

So how could this man, Alex, also possess them?!

As Gojo and Megumi wrestled with their confusion, the battle between Sukuna and Alex continued.

Against Sukuna's Malevolent Shrine, Alex relied solely on the Infinity to block every single attack.

Throughout the encounter, Sukuna attempted various methods, unleashing abilities such as Dismantle, Cleave, and all, but none of them could break past the one-meter radius surrounding Alex. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

For five full seconds, it was as though the two were in completely separate worlds. No matter what Sukuna did, he couldn't inflict any harm on Alex.

When the five seconds passed, Sukuna halted his attacks, as Yuji Itadori within his body began forcibly reclaiming control.

In the end, Sukuna's face twisted with rage and frustration as he spat bitterly: "Brat, just you wait. Once I gather enough fingers, I'll make you taste the tortures of a thousand years ago!"

However, Sukuna's threat held little power over Alex, who simply responded with a raised middle finger and a mocking smirk.

The next moment, Yuji Itadori woke up, looking a little confused as he asked, "Is everything alright?"

Gojo Satoru, clearly pleased, responded with excitement,

"I really didn't expect it, but you can really control it!"

Yuji Itadori replied,

"But it's so noisy, I can still hear that guy's voice."

"That's all? It's a miracle!" Gojo Satoru said as he slowly walked over to Yuji, suddenly bringing his two fingers together and tapping Yuji's forehead.

With precise cursed energy control, Gojo used some technique, causing Yuji to close his eyes and fall into a deep sleep.

After handling Yuji and handing him over to Megumi Fushiguro, Gojo finally turned his attention back to Alex, his gaze turning serious,

"Well then, now that the overly energetic one has been dealt with, it's time we had our talk."

At that moment, Alex revealed an extremely familiar mischievous smile to Gojo and laughed, "Hahaha, my dear grandson, I'm your sixth grandfather, and now I'm back!"

Gojo: "The fuck?"

---

At the Tokyo Metropolitan Jujutsu High, one of only two jujutsu schools in the entire country, the government had poured substantial resources into the institution. Its campus size and training facilities rivaled those of the University of Tokyo.

Due to its location in the mountains with high humidity, the campus was often shrouded in a thin mist. This mist not only made the atmosphere feel damp and uncomfortable but also formed part of the protective barrier around the school.

At that moment, in the most luxurious building at the center of the campus, Alex, Gojo Satoru, and Principal Yaga were sitting in the principal's office, brewing tea.

"So, Mr. Alex, are you really Gojo's sixth grandfather?" Yaga asked calmly, setting down his teacup.

Before Alex could respond, Gojo suddenly stood up, slamming his hand on the table with a loud noise.

"I say, old man, how is this possible? This guy looks younger than me, at most about 20 years old! How could he possibly be my grandfather?!"

Yaga remained calm, taking out a file from his side and handing it to Gojo.

"This is the information I found. 50 years ago, you really did have a sixth grandfather. However, he disappeared from the Gojo family after an accident when he was very young."

"This is all we could find, the rest of the information was destroyed by some unknown force. And Mr. Alex also has the Six Eyes and can release the Limitless Technique, right? So it's very likely that he really is your sixth grandfather."

Gojo quickly skimmed through the file, reading it in minutes before putting it down. He slumped onto the sofa, weakly saying,

"No way, no way. I can't really be expected to call someone around 20 years old my grandfather, right?!"

Cough, cough~ Alex cleared his throat. Once Gojo and Yaga's attention was on him, he continued,

"My dear grandson, I really am your grandfather."

During the decades I was gone, I was sealed beneath the Antarctic glaciers, and both my mind and body fell into a deep slumber. It wasn't until a few years ago that I was rescued by an Antarctic exploration team.

However, after being frozen for so many years, my memory was damaged, and I lost my past recollections. I stayed abroad for some time, and it wasn't until recently that I started to recall things from before. That's why I came to find my family.

So, Gojo, my dearest grandson, I really am your sixth grandfather!"

Once Alex finished speaking, Gojo Satoru could no longer hold back and shouted,

"How is any of this possible? Let's not even mention how someone could survive being frozen for decades, or why you haven't aged. Just the Six Eyes in your eyes are abnormal!

Everyone in the jujutsu world knows that only one pair of Six Eyes can exist in a generation. If you truly have Six Eyes and are my sixth grandfather, then it would be impossible for me to have Six Eyes!

Everything you're saying is a lie, and no one here will believe it!"

After Gojo's firm analysis, Principal Yaga clapped his hands vigorously and visibly believed,

"I see now, you really are Gojo's sixth grandfather, my apologies!"

Gojo: "???"

Wait a second, you actually believe this?!!!

Perhaps sensing Gojo's confusion, Principal Yaga explained,

"Gojo, there's no need to doubt. Mr. Alex is very likely your sixth grandfather.

Firstly, during our investigation, we found many records about your sixth grandfather, and it was specifically noted that he was a genius not inferior to the Six Eyes.

If I'm not mistaken, Mr. Alex has Six Eyes, but he's a mutated version of the traditional Six Eyes, which is why you were born.

Secondly, we investigated Mr. Alex's background and found that several years ago, a scientific team from the US did indeed bring someone back from Antarctica, and Mr. Alex has left traces of his life back in US.

Thirdly, you have Six Eyes, so you should be able to judge whether someone is speaking or not.

Clearly, from the moment Mr. Alex started speaking until now, he hasn't uttered a word, which means you haven't detected him speaking.

If Mr. Alex can lie in front of you and hide it, this too would require the precise control of Six Eyes.

So, in any case, it proves that Mr. Alex is from the Gojo family and most likely your sixth grandfather!"

Gojo Satoru turned his head and looked at Alex, who was lovingly watching him, and a wave of discomfort swept over him.

He never imagined that at the age of twenty-eight, he would suddenly have a twenty-year-old grandfather!

Alex just smiled and watched the conversation between the two without interrupting.

What Principal Yaga said was, of course, true, but it was a history that had been altered by him.

For someone like Alex, who was on the verge of becoming a multi-universe-level powerhouse, forging history in the Jujutsu Kaisen world was too easy.

Frankly, even in the Lord of the Mysteries world, he could easily forge history, manipulate time, and complete the Fool's Ceremony without breaking a sweat.

After a while, once Gojo Satoru had completely processed the information from Principal Yaga, he finally resigned himself to the situation.

Suddenly, he thought of something and asked Alex, "That Six... Six grandfather, what's the difference between your eyes and the Six Eyes?"

Alex, who had already prepared an answer, replied: "My Six Eyes, in addition to the basic abilities of the Six Eyes, also have the ability to see death."

"Death?" Gojo Satoru asked, intrigued.

Alex nodded. "That's right. I can see the 'lines of death' on the surface of objects, and by cutting along these lines, I can cause fundamental destruction to the object. Even reversal techniques can't heal it."

Gojo Satoru was a bit envious. "That's a powerful ability!"

"Having such a powerful ability comes with a cost." Alex said, his expression turning serious.

Gojo Satoru became curious. "Six... Six grandfather, what's the cost?"

Alex sighed and said,

"Well, I gained the ability to see death, and with it, the power to bring about death. My eyes not only allow me to see death, but the basic abilities of the Six Eyes have also been strengthened to some extent.

In addition, my physical strength has been greatly enhanced. I might even be comparable to the likes of Heavenly Restriction or a result of a Binding Vow when it comes to physical condition."

Principal Yaga: "???"

Gojo Satoru: "???"

Gojo Satoru thought to himself: 'This isn't a cost, this is clearly a benefit.'

Is he bragging?

Gojo Satoru realized that his Sixth Grandfather might be even more unrestrained than he was—truly worthy of the Six Eyes of the Gojo family.

He asked Alex, "Six grandfather, now that you've regained your memory, what are you planning to do next?"

"I don't like those people from the Gojo family. I prefer freedom and the distant horizon..." Alex replied.

Gojo Satoru's eyes gradually lit up. He realized that his Sixth Grandfather's personality was very similar to his own.

Alex continued,

"So, I plan to enroll as a first-year student at the Tokyo Metropolitan Jujutsu High alongside that Yuji Itadori!"

"Ah!"

Although Gojo Satoru wasn't sure about Alex's full strength, with just the Six Eyes and his ability to directly bring about death, he could already be considered a Special Grade Sorcerer.

For such a Special Grade Sorcerer to enroll as a first-year student and compete with others? Isn't that just bullying?!

Gojo Satoru and Principal Yaga exchanged glances, both reading each other's thoughts.

Great, here's another unstable element.
