Overlord Curse

Gojo Satoru

"HYAAAAA! "

Momonga teleports a few hundred meters away and watches as Jogo falls on concrete road and leaves a good dent on it. 'Good thing his passive skill emits such a unique type of signature. It made it so easy to find him.'

"Who are you? " The man with white hair using a blindfold said while just standing up with both his hands in his pockets.

'That must be Satoru Gojo. ' Momonga thought as he watched Jogo moved his hands creating a small vulcano thing by his opponents side. After a small window of time a huge lava burst came rushing through blasting Gojo.

"That was a fast AO attack. Good damage too. " Momonga said as he watched Jogo turning and walking away.

'This can't be over, right? He was so hypped by Geto he can't... ' He halted his thinking when he saw that not only Gojo looked okay, but the attacked seemingly didn't even connect properly. 'Interesting, was that a barrier skill or maybe a spell? I felt an activation and magic being used, but it wasn't a normal activation, maybe a passive skill that has a one time usage? Too soon to tell. ' Momonga started mumbling.

"If one huge attack does not work the next step would be... "

Jogo moved his hand again and this time a bunch of small insect like monsters spawned on top of body.

"A combination attack to test his skill. Very orthodox approuch to combat. Keeping his distance. Nice. Hopefully Jogo will be able to get Gojo to show his hand. "Momonga said as Jogo's summons rushed his opponent, but they somehow got stuck a few centimeters from Gojo.

They tried to force their way through in vain while the Jujutsu Sorcerer kept his posture seemingly mocking Jogo. The concrete around them was blown away as the summons continued their attack.

'It has to be a barrier type ability, but it also holds their opponents and their attacks in place. From the looks of Gojo's hand form it must have some sort of active component, but he's acting as if nothing would be able to get to him. Does that barrier makes it impossible to attack him for a set period of time? '

The summons exploded, however the flames did not reach Gojo. Jogo anticipated the response and by the time the expolosion was about to clear he struck Gojo's head and wich bursted into flames.

'Direct hit. Great. So there's a time limit! Now let's see if his resistances and HP are good too. '

Jogo walked away while clearing some dust from his clothes, however after the fire dispersed Gojo was still there. Unharmed.

'No damage at all? That's not possible. Should I use [Detect Life]? Too risky. Let's see how it plays out. ' Momonga moved a bit closer to the fight.

"How? How can you... "

Jogo's eye was at least two times wider than when he arrived.

"We just went through this a while ago, right? You didn't hit me. "

"Impossible! It was different this time. I actually touched you. "

'Yes, he did touch you. What's going on? ' Momonga thought. 'Does it has some range factor that can he manipulate thus shorting the cooldown? Or is it multiple barriers that extend from where he is? '

"You didn't touch me, actually. You touched the infinity between me and you. "

"Infinity? "

'Wait a minute... Is he going to explain it?' Momonga was now completely invested in figuring out Gojo's skill.

"Why don't you try touching my hand? You'll understand right away. "

Gojo started to offer his hand as an i***t. 'Is it some trap? I don't feel any bloodlust... I'll go see what this is about.' Jogo thought as he approached Gojo and tried to grab his hand.

However, Jogo's hand simply stopped right before touching Gojo's.

'His had stopped. He can't touch him? What is this? ' Momonga thought;

He tried a few more times before Gojo started to explain.

"Your hand didn't actually stop there. It's just that my Cursed Technique can subdivide space infinitely, just like a math function might get infinitely close to zero and never reach it, you will never get to me. But I can get to you. "

Gojo touched moved his hand and touched Jogo's. 'Subdivede space in an infinite matter? What's the draw back? Mana? Time? Cooldown? I have to know! ' Momonga decided to move even closer.

"We could just keep going and hold hands, you know. "

"You bastard. Let ghugh... "

Gojo smacked Jogo's face with the palm of his hand.

"I'm not done yet. "

Gojo smacks him a couple of times making Jogo spit some blood and then throws him away.

' He's using his mana to enhance his strenght. How strong are those strikes? ' Momonga thought. 'His mana flow is changing again. Another skill incoming? '

Gojo lifted his index fingure and a bright red ball starts to form on top of it.

"Infinity exists everywhere. My Cursed Techquine just brings into reality. Convergence, Divergence... What do you think will happen if you touch this? "

Gojo cracked a smile.

[Cursed Technique Reversal: Red]

The ball moved at lighting speed and almost instantly reached Jogo. The resulting explosion pushed the Cursed Spirit further into the forest where Gojo followed.

'Tenth Tier Magic! That looked like Graviton Maelstrom.' The image of the spell filled Momonga's mind as he jumped forward trying to follow the action, but try as he may, he was aways a few meters too far from them. 'I can't use magic to follow them since that would release my Perfect Unknowable. Their physicality is too great since their using mana to enhance it. Maybe I can do that too? I'll try it latter. '

Momonga finally caught up to the action only to see Jogo floating on a lake with Gojo nowhere in sight. 'Where is he? ' A few moments after Gojo showed up carrying a pink haired kid.

'Who's that kid? ' Momonga thought as he got confortable to watch the rest of the fight.

"Gojo-sensei, where are we? Who's that? Why is his head shapped like a vulcano? "

Jogo's face went serious for a second.

"You're planning to use him as a shield? That's not... "

"No! "

Gojo interrupted.

"He's here just to watch. No need to worry about him just fight as you would normaly. "

"You think you can take me at 100% while protecting that kid? "

"Of course I can you're too weak. "

Gojo said with a big smile on his face. Jogo was not very amused. 'Wow. His mana just spiked there.' Momonga thought as lava poured out of Jogo's ear and head creating huge waves and gusts of wind.

"He's weak? "

The kid said as he looked upon Jogo's Cursed Energy level.

"This is weak for Gojo? It's about on par with a level 100. Maybe the lack of..."

[Domain Expansion]

A black liquid manifested from Jogo's feet and rushed in all directions just as he interlocked his fingers.

[Coffin of the Iron Mountain]

Just as Jogo finished his chant the black goo encaised the three of them inside and seemingly turned solid leaving Momonga on the outside.

'What. Was. That? That barrier feelt so powerfull from the amount of mana he spent to make it, but now that is done I feel like I can break in with just a tap. ' Momonga thought as a green light emerged from his body. 'Maybe it's toughter on the inside? Depiction of Nature and Society has a similar visual effect and could create a barrier to isolate the target. Is it a weaker version of that? If it is why make it easy to invade? Some cost cutting measure?'

Momonga stood there watching the barrier and overthinking it's use until it suddenly turned white. After a few seconds the barrier broke leaving Momonga startled.

'Jogo's done.' Was the only thing on his mind as he saw Gojo holding the Cursed Spirit's head on his hand and the kid on his other.

"Was something good suppose to happen after you kill me? "

Gojo said after he threw Jogo's head on the floor. He pressed his feet firmly on top of the curse and started to put some extra pressure. The kid was speachless as he watched his sensei interrogate the curse.

"You better start talking or I'll exorcise you. I'll do it even you if you do, but it's better if you talk. "

'Let's say Jogo dies here. Would that be a problem for me?' Momonga started thinking. 'He is some type of monster seeking would domination so I guess it would be a good thing for him to die, morally speaking, but it's not like I have any strong feelings about the people of this world to care. On the other hand, he's probably one of the few around here who would consider me an ally.'

Before Momonga could reach a conclusion a wood spike hit the ground and then spawned a bed of flowers right in front of Gojo.

"So pretty. "

"So pretty. "

Gojo and the kid said as they both started to smile.

"This is a cursed technique, right? It's sapping away my will to fight. "

The jujutsu sorcerer said before smacking himself back. During the time he was distracted another curse jumped in, grabbed Jogo's head and was already a good distance from him. It didn't leave without giving a present to Yuji, a small plant monster.

" Sensei, I'll be fine. You go after them. Haaa! I'm wrong! Help! "

Gojo turned around calmy and moved his hand. The tree monster that grabbed the kid was destroyed in an instant leaving the kid to fall on the ground.

"I'm sorry, sensei. I held you back... Even though it was your fault since you brought me here. "

He said that last part quietly. Gojo didn't seem to mind though as he approached the kid and gave him a slap on his head.

"Don't sweet it, Yuji. What kind of sensei would I be if I left you behind with that guy around here. "

'Is he? ' A burst of green light came forth from Momonga's body as he saw Gojo staring directly at him. 'He couldn't, could he? '

"I was so focused on catching you trying to help vulcano head that I didn't noticed the other curse. By the way, was that intentional? Or you just couldn't find a good time to jump in? "

'How can he see me? I didn't saw him using any detection skills? Is it a passive power exclusive to this world?' Momonga thought as he slowly walked towards them.

"Who are you talking to, sensei? "

"There's another curse here, Yuji. He's using a Cursed Technique to hide tho. It's gotta be more than just a simple barrier if you can move it around, would you mind telling me about it? "

The boy named Yuji started to frantically look for the curse Gojo was talking about.

'Should I reveal myself?' Momonga thought. 'If I leave right now I would look suspicious and if he can recognize me later meaning it would be bad. This could be my last chance of getting to talk with Satoru Gojo and making an alliance. Not that I think he will listen, but at least I don't think he will attack right away now.'

"If you tell me how you noticed me I wouldn't mind telling you about my spe- the barrier I used. "

Momonga showed himself to the two Jujutsu sorcerers. 'Negotiation Starts.'

"Of course. I don't mind. "

Gojo said while being mildly amused.

"It's these eyes. I can see the world as mass, speed, volume and other things. So it's not that I saw you and that gave you away or anything like that, it's the fact that everything was a bit warped around you. Do you understand? "

"I see. If Perfect Unknowable changes the world around me to hide my presence then it would follow that one who can see and identify those changes would detect something is there. And since you don't know anyone with that technique you assumed I was another curse. "

"Bingo. "

Gojo gave a thumbs up.

" Though there was still a slight chance that you were a curse user and not a curse spirit. 9 out 10 for that answer. He's smart, right Yuji."

Yuji was too busy staring at the Special Grade that just showed up out of nowhere. His purple outfit, skeleton face and glowing red eyes made him shiver.

"Perfect Unkowable you say? That's a very good name. I like it. Is it your Cursed technique or just a very well done barrier? "

Gojo asked as he tilted his head sideways.

'Three Special Grades in one day? What is going on here? There's no way in hell they're not together, right? And this one is the creepiest. Why didn't he attack me or Yuji tho? ' Gojo thought.

"It's a mobile barrier that hides the user's presence from all senses. When it's being used no one can find me with conventional means like sight or hearing, but they could use other tactics. Maybe some other sp- I mean Cursed Technique could find me like you have or you could use something else like footprints to track me. "

'Oh please, my ten plus years of experience role playing must come into play here. ' Momonga thought as he explained the flavor text of the spell and added a few extra spices to it.

'That's a very powerfull barrier technique. If you compare it to the one in Jujutsu High it looses out on size by a lot, but it being mobile and the fact that few would be able to react to it puts this Curse Spirit's barrier abilities similar to Tengen's level. Should I take it out now or try to pry some more information? ' Gojo thought as he looked at Momonga's glowing eyes.

"Sounds very strong to me. Do you have a name? I am Satoru Gojo, but something tells me you already know me. "

Momonga relaxed a bit as the conversation developed. 'Good, we're talking and not fighting. Is he trying to get some info out of me or is it just some sort of evaluation? I'll bite a bit. ' Momonga thought.

"I am known as Momonga and yes I already know who you are."

"Are you with vulcano head or something? Why didn't you attack?"

'Careful little curse. Depending on your answer I'll blast you with blue, right away.' Gojo thought as he moved a bit closer.

The change in tone didn't go unnoticed by Yuji or Momonga. The latter stepping closer to Gojo as if to challenge him and the former moving to side very slowly.

"It's not that I am with him. I'm just weighting my options at the moment. You're very strong, but I can see a few ways to beat you already. If your side has some good perks I wouldn't mind making a deal with you. "

'He's mana is flowing like it was in the fight! Attack me if you want. I already casted Body of Effulgent Beryl so your first attack woun't harm me anyway. After that, I'll target the kid, summon an undead and start trying things out. ' Momonga thought as he prepared himself mentally for the fight.

'Not backing away even after I deliberately showed some cursed energy. He must have some real good cursed technique or he's just stupider than I thought. ' Gojo smiled a bit more and waved his hands around.

"A deal you say? That would be interesting. I don't think the higher ups would be up to making deals with Special Grade Curses such as yourself. Especially since you can talk and think, but I don't mind it. What are your terms? "

'Higher ups? He answers to someone else? That makes it more difficult. If the other guy tells him to betray me would he do it? '

"What guarantee can you give me that those higher ups would not come after me or just order you to do it? "

"It's true that the higher ups could still come after you, but not in a very public way since I would beat them up if they did. So you won't face too many powerfull opponents. As for myself you don't have to worry about it at all. Don't you know how deals work? Are you perhaps a new Curse? "

'I messed up there. That's my b. Alright. I can turn this around. Let's use the overseas angle again. '

"You could say that I am new around these parts. I'm not from this country so the more theoretical aspects of Cursed Energy and Cursed Techniques are new to me. "

'This is a first. Overseas Special Grades are a thing now? Am I gonna be flying to Mexico or Australia to take care of a curse? Sounds like fun. ' Gojo stopped smiling for a moment. 'Or maybe he is a vengeful spirit or someone like Sukuna who became a curse? Makes more sense than the pure curse idea, but that would mean he's lying. Puts him in a position to betray the other curses too. It fits way better. Is the Curse club worth letting this one go though? '

"I see. If that's the case don't worry, I can't break the terms of the deal or I would be in great trouble so don't worry. Tell me do you mind talking about the other curses? Are you guys in a group? Who's the leader? "

'He doesn't know Jogo or the others at all or... Does he not know about Geto or maybe he doesn't know about Geto's dealings with curses. If Geto knows Gojo so well where he is in a position that allows him to judge his skills they must know eachother. That being true my best move would be to...'

"You could say that there is a group or you could say there isn't one either. They didn't seem that crazy about working together aside for their main motive. I'm not into it myself. "

'There we go. He's trying to sell them out for protection. It would be good to get the others, but I can't let him go... What to do...' Gojo started to smile again.

"If you're willing to answer those questions and a few more about yourself I wouldn't mind leting you go today? How about we make that the deal? "

'Letting me go today. Just today? This arrogant piece...' Momonga's eyes flashed a darker red.

"Only today? That's a... Too little on your side don't you think, Gojo? "

"Not at all. You get to go out there and live, or whaterever you Curses call it and I get to meet some new Curses. Win-win in my book. "

'I knew this guy was creepier than vulcano head or tree face, but now that I had this much time to look at him it's a bit too much for the others to take on. If he is new to Jujutsu like he said, which could be true, I would hate to see what his fully developed self looks like. Still... I wouldn't mind leting him go for today. ' Gojo stared into Momonga's eyes.

Momonga stood there watching the jujutsu sorcerer nonchalantly sneeze a few times.

"Trading the secrets of the other curses so you will spare me for today? Are implying that you could take me on right now, but does not mind doing it later? "

'Even if he understood it so well why not take the deal and hide? Does he think he can take me? ' Gojo thought.

"Seems like you're underestimating me, Gojo Satoru. "

"It's the opposite, actually. "

The sorcerer said with a smile that made Momonga stop his intimidation attempt.

"Yuji! Tell Momonga what do you think of him. Want to take him on? "

The boy looked with a shocked face straight at Gojo and then to Momonga.

"Are you crazy?! This guy is like, super scary. The other curse was super scary too, but this is like twice scarier. I'm feeling like shiting myself just by looking at him. I can't even tell how much cursed energy he has. I can't fight him. Please don't make me, Gojo-senseeeeeeiiiiii. "

The boy pleaded to Gojo as he groveled on the floor.

"Don't worry. You're not gonna fight, Yuji. This was just to make a point. See? "

He said while pointing to the kid rolling around on the floor.

"I'm too strong to be left alone? Is that it? "

Momonga asked.

"Bingo! That's exactly it. You see Momonga. If you were a normal Special Grade I would take that deal no problem. I would not exorcise you and instead I would send someone else to do it, probably Yuta. "

'Not me?! Yes! Wait, who's Yuta' " Yuji thought as he regained his composure

"But your cursed energy is out of this world. It is, in fact, boundless. If I'm no allowed to beat you that leaves almost no one that could and with your potential you could become as strong as I am in no time at all. In other words, I have to take you down before you become something that even I can't handle. "

Gojo moved his hand to the side in a fast motion. 'This speed... how?' Momonga watched as he felt Gojo's mana impacting his body.

"Sorry. No deal. Die. "
