Cyan

Having just decimated the incoming army, a bullet aimed at his head was halted by Infinity.

"A sniper, huh..."

Eiji reads the trajectory of the bullet and identifies the sniper's location.

The sniper continues to shoot but fails to penetrate Infinity.

"860 meters. Let's try the Cursed Technique on the Grass Sword."

Eiji channels Cursed Energy into the Grass Sword.

The Grass Sword emits a green light, and a gust of wind begins to gather on its blade.

*Slash*

Afterward, Eiji slashes forward vertically.

The slash speeds like the wind, cleaving a 20-story building in half and destroying several other structures.

"Worthy of being a Special Grade Cursed Tool." Says Eiji.

The Grass Sword's second ability calls upon the wind to aid its slash, allowing it to easily cleave and cut buildings from a distance.

"Love Magic: Mandragora."

Eiji turns around and sees Queen Dorothea casting a spell on him while he is distracted.

Queen Dorothea takes advantage of Eiji's momentary lapse. Unfortunately, her plan fails because she is unaware of Infinity, nearly impenetrable by conventional means.

Space attributes combined with time attributes make them exceedingly rare. Individuals mastering either of these attributes are challenging to handle.

(So, it's a Love Magic. No wonder Dorothea, being a Witch, could become the Queen of the Lydia Kingdom. Most likely, the Love Magic ability is to make people fall in love with her and obey all her commands without question. In other words, Love Magic is akin to Mind Control)

Based solely on the name of Queen Dorothea's spell, Eiji analyzes its abilities. Despite the lack of information, he is confident that his theory is 80% accurate. This could explain the odd behavior of Emperor Goeth, who showed no interest in Chloe's half-naked body.

"What! How can Mandragora not work?"

Queen Dorothea loses her composure. Previously, she always believed that no one could resist her Love Magic. Hence, she wasn't worried that the young man would harm her, as she could control others whenever she pleased. However, she is shocked to learn that her Love Magic has failed.

When she attempts to use Love Magic a second time, someone else appears in front of her as if teleporting and swings a blade at her neck.

Faced with a life-or-death situation, the figure of a man appears in Queen Dorothea's mind.

"Alfredo—"

*Slash*

Eiji beheads Queen Dorothea. Thanks to Infinity, the gushing blood flows like a fountain but does not reach him.

"Ahhhhh!!! How dare you!"

"Someone kill him!"

Emperor Goeth screams hysterically, witnessing the tragic death of Queen Dorothea.

Finally, the military arrives with heavy weaponry, tanks, and helicopters.

If it weren't for Emperor Goeth still on the stage, they would have fired cannons.

"Chloe Morgan, can you use your magic?"

Standing in front of Chloe and Adonis, Eiji withstands the gunfire.

"No, I can't. My curtain magic can't be used."

Chloe shakes her head and smiles bitterly. Without magic, she is worried it will be challenging to leave the Lydia Kingdom's capital.

"..."

Eiji observes Emperor Goeth being evacuated but takes no action.

"Both of you are a burden."

After saying this emotionlessly, he bows and writes a spell on the ground with his two fingers enveloped in Cursed Energy.

"What are you doing?"

Adonis has never seen the letters written on the ground.

Eiji ignores him and completes his incantation.

"Don't get caught next time."

Next moment, the ground cracks where they stood, and the figures of Chloe and Adonis disappear.

"Let's end this."

After teleporting both of them to the Sand Land, Eiji slowly hovers in the air.

Due to Infinity, no weapon or cannon attacking him can harm him.

Floating at a height of 200 meters, helicopters and fighter jets shoot missiles at him.

"No wonder Kenjaku said Special Grade Cursed Sorcerers are beings capable of destroying a country. He wasn't exaggerating."

He always thought Kenjaku had too high expectations for the power of Special Grade Cursed Sorcerers.

How can an individual's raw power compete with a whole country?

Only after this incident, facing the military might of the Lydia Kingdom, considered the strongest nation, did he realize it's not difficult to confront an entire country.

No matter how powerful and advanced the weapons the Lydia Kingdom possesses, they are useless if they don't hit the target. Unless they have weapons that can penetrate space and time. If not, the Lydia Kingdom is powerless against Infinity.

"Cursed Technique Lapse – Maximum Output: Cyan."

Raising both hands while spinning, he forms a large Imaginary Mass in the air.

This is one of the three skills Eiji developed from the Limitless Technique.

Cyan sets the temperature in kelvins in a certain area to zero, creating an area where all energy is nonexistent due to zero molecular movement. Thus, all gases are compressed into solids, liquids instantly freeze into solids, and all matter within the effective range of this skill freezes in place.

Compared to Scarlet, which utilizes Positive Energy, Cyan is easier to develop due to its compatibility with Cursed Energy.

There's a reason why Eiji never used Cyan in the Jujutsu Kaisen world, namely as a cover when he does things he doesn't want others to know about.

If he used Limitless Techniques like Red, Blue, and Purple, his identity would be easily revealed. So, he left Cyan as a secret skill.

However, this is not the Jujutsu Kaisen world, and there's no need for him to hide Cyan.

"Huft..."

Every time Eiji breathes, white mist comes out of his mouth due to the cold temperature.

Eiji is the only one standing in the sky, while helicopters and fighter jets fall because their engines are frozen.

After compacting the Imaginary Mass, he releases Cyan.

Next moment, white mist converges on Cyan, spreading in all directions and covering the Lydia Kingdom's capital and its surroundings.

Cyan affects the energy in a specific area or object, reducing the temperature or kinetic energy of any particle's molecules to 0 kelvin, also known as absolute zero.

Anything passed through by the white mist will only meet one outcome: freezing.

Humans, animals, plants, buildings, and so on. In the blink of an eye, the Lydia Kingdom's capital turns into ice with not a single sign of life left.

The white mist enters air vents and freezes people underground or those inside homes.

"There's definitely something wrong with me. Even after killing millions, I don't feel guilty."

Looking at the scene below, Eiji is 100% sure he is different from normal people.

He remains calm, and his emotions don't fluctuate at all after personally turning all living creatures in the Lydia Kingdom's capital into ice.

He knows the power of Cyan; there's no way to save those who have become ice sculptures. Even if the ice is melted, the person remains dead because the cold temperature has damaged the entire organ system.

"Let's go home."

Ignoring the silence below, Eiji mobilizes a large amount of Cursed Energy.

"Cursed Technique Lapse – Maximum Output: Azure."

Space distorts, and a blue portal appears.

Without hesitation, Eiji enters the portal.
