Chapter 30 - Chapter 30: Domain Expansion: Myriad Manifestations

"Why?"

"Why protect non-sorcerers?"

"We pour everything into saving these people?"

"What's the point?"

"Is it worth it?"

Suguru Geto closed his eyes, haunted by the Pan-Star Cult's vile faces.

He didn't know what was wrong with him.

Since the Star Plasma Vessel incident, an aimless fog clouded his heart.

His once-unshakable convictions now felt riddled with holes.

"Phew~"

Suguru exhaled, slapping his cheeks to snap out of it.

"Whatever the right path is, strength is the best tool to walk it!"

His gaze hardened, cursed energy churning within.

He sensed a critical threshold—reach it, and his technique would ascend to a higher plane.

The legendary small world built from an innate technique—Domain Expansion!

Sorcerers who achieved this feat left their names etched in history.

Suguru, naturally, burned with that ambition.

"Cursed energy, cursed spirits, domain…"

The words flashed through his mind, his cursed energy surging forth.

Suguru's eyes snapped open, his hands instinctively forming a seal.

Index, middle, and ring fingers interlocked inward, thumbs and pinkies joined upright—the Mahamayuri Yantra, also known as the Great Peacock Wisdom King Seal.

"Domain Expansion: Myriad Manifestations!"

Satoru Gojo, mid-giggle, froze as a massive wave of cursed energy hit him.

Teleporting to Suguru's dorm, he spotted a glaring black sphere.

His mood soured.

He hadn't even bragged yet!

Inside the domain, a black-water floor spawned countless cursed spirits.

Some were Suguru's tamed spirits; others, ones he'd seen but never subdued.

Through imagination, Suguru effortlessly conjured them here.

The black water surged, lifting him onto a towering throne.

Suguru sat calmly, gazing over the swarming cursed spirits below, a king among them.

"The domain's technique—endless cursed spirit creation without cursed energy cost? And these spirits are extensions of my body!"

Suguru explored his domain's powers, intrigued.

Infinite spirit generation without cost was already stunning.

But the spirits being part of him? That opened wild possibilities.

With Cursed Spirit Manipulation, his spirits were like obedient pets—separate entities.

Here, they were his fingers, their minds like external drives for his brain.

Mulling over its uses, Satoru's voice broke through from outside.

"Suguru! You hear me?"

"Satoru?"

Suguru's lips curled. Time to show off!

He dispelled the domain, waving with a grin.

"Yo, Satoru, what's up? Just practicing my Domain Expansion—sorry for the cold welcome!"

He punched up "Domain Expansion" for effect.

Satoru's face twitched. "What's with the smugness? I mastered that ages ago!"

"Oh? Show me then."

"Just did. I'm in technique burnout now."

"Admit you can't, and I won't laugh~"

Suguru shrugged, Satoru's forehead veins popping.

"Damn it! Wait till tomorrow—cooldown's done, I'll blow you away with my domain!"

Technique burnout—a post-domain state where innate techniques were locked, like an overheated engine cooling down.

(Innate techniques were unusable, but cursed energy and Reverse Cursed Technique worked, except for Shoko, whose innate technique was Reverse Cursed Technique, and she didn't use domains.)

In the manga, Satoru fried his brain against Sukuna, healing it with Reverse Cursed Technique to reset cooldowns, like swapping engines.

But this Satoru wasn't that unhinged yet.

Like other sorcerers and spirits, his domain was once-a-day.

Suguru didn't hesitate to accept Satoru's challenge.

From Satoru's attitude, Suguru knew he'd mastered Domain Expansion—no bluff.

Now, he wanted to see whose domain reigned supreme!

As Satoru left Suguru's dorm, he ran into Riko Aquino.

"Yo, Riko!"

Riko relayed Toji Fushiguro's message.

"Ten Shadows?"

Satoru's expression flickered, complex.

Riko blinked. "What? Is it strong?"

"Yeah, it's strong… but that's not the issue."

Satoru stifled a laugh.

The Zenin clan was cursed with bad luck. They shunned Toji for lacking cursed energy, only to lose a Heavenly Tyrant powerhouse.

Their antics drove away a clan pillar and, with him, a Ten Shadows heir.

A royal flush, played like garbage.

"If another Heavenly Restriction pops up, bet the Zenin won't dare snub them again!"

Satoru got Toji's number, vowing to train this Ten Shadows heir.

Not now—he was still a student. Maybe when Megumi hit junior high.

For now, he'd reserve a Jujutsu High spot for him.

The next day.

Satoru and Suguru faced off, eyes blazing with intent.

In unison, they formed seals.

"Domain Expansion: Unlimited Void!"

"Domain Expansion: Myriad Manifestations!"

Instantly, their domains clashed, grappling like rival fighters locked in a stalemate.

Satoru slid off his sunglasses, revealing azure eyes. "Suguru, my domain's a mental control type—floods the enemy's brain with junk data, crashing it."

Disclosing a technique unbound its power, amplifying it.

Suguru raised a brow. "Sounds unique and strong."

"Obviously! Take this!"

Before Suguru could react, Satoru unleashed his technique.

....

Author's Note (T/N: Important I guess)

(In the original work, Gojo's Domain Expansion is passive; anyone entering Unlimited Void except Gojo himself and those in physical contact with him will be affected. This is why during the first fight with Itadori and during the Shibuya incident, Gojo's brief 0.2-second domain caused hundreds of innocent bystanders to become temporarily dazed.)

(But!!! Here, I've changed the setting. Gojo's domain technique is now actively released and can target specific opponents — a small buff. More setting changes will come later. After all, jjxx is just drawing manga, what does he know about Jujutsu Kaisen.)

(Finally, I want to add about Geto's Domain Expansion. I personally feel "Taizō Henya" should belong to Geto's rival, Kenjaku, not Geto. Taizō Henya comes from two Buddhist esoteric worlds — the Taizō realm and the Vajra realm, while the brain-flower name refers to Kenjaku's Vajra rope weapon, shaped like a lotus and wish-fulfilling jewel. Both concepts are tightly linked to Buddhism, hard not to connect them.)
