Chapter Twenty One: I am me

A/N: Well, people, I'm a little sad to see how little you voted in the previous chapter, although that hasn't taken away my inspiration and since I managed to finish my task sooner and I'm more inspired, I'm going to upload this chapter and if I continue like this, maybe today I'll start making another ff and if the other one turns out well and I'm satisfied, maybe I'll start doing the beta of the original story that I plan to do.

I'm not going to drop this ff

~~~start of the chapter~~~

Izuku wastes no time and continues running swiftly until he reaches a few meters away from the special-grade curse. Using his [Elasticity] quirk, he propels himself even further, delivering a powerful blow to the curse, sending it flying tens of meters away. This causes several lower-grade curses to die as they are swept away by the impact.

*Squeak!!*

The special-grade curse becomes enraged and lets out a chilling scream as a spike emerges in the middle of its face. But as it tries to attack Izuku, the curse is confused and disoriented when it can't find any trace of its opponent. This causes it to become more bewildered and a bit confused.

Izuku, who is now in the sky after teleporting, strikes the curse with a kick enhanced by [Black Flash] and [Twin Impact], causing the curse to suffer damage equivalent to 2.5 [Black Flash], ultimately killing it.

After landing on the ground, Izuku dodges multiple attacks from the curses using his spider-like sense, synchronizing perfectly with each blow while counterattacking with minimal movements.

Unbeknownst to him, with every passing second, Izuku improves his control over cursed energy. Unconsciously, the cursed energy flows through him, strengthening and enhancing him further. With every fear and pain he experiences, his efficiency and power of cursed energy transform, breaking the chains that restrained him and allowing him to grow even more.

Then Izuku says, "Cursed Technique: Resignation of Hell" In that moment, he becomes completely still and experiences true peace for the first time in a long while. He finds no peace in meeting someone or happiness in being reborn. He has followed the path he has walked because it is the only thing he has known in all his lives. Finally, he can release all his anger and pain that he has kept bottled up through the years of loneliness, materializing as chains that emerge beneath every curse present in the area, killing them within seconds.

For the first time, Izuku is quiet, without those relentless voices shouting at him to seek revenge on those who have done nothing to him. He remains motionless, gazing at the sky, wondering when was the last time he truly rested. "I... want to rest" Izuku whispered with a voice that didn't reflect the will of some of his past lives but represented his own existence.

As this happens, Izuku gently lowers himself to the ground, bathed in a radiant light. Unfortunately, Izuku doesn't realize it, as for the first time in over a month, he rests...

~~~with Gojo vs Kenjaku~~~

"Are you sure you should leave your little friend behind~?" Kenjaku taunted Gojo.

"Are you sure you'll survive~?" Gojo replied before unleashing five [red] attacks that headed in all directions towards Kenjaku. Despite being exhausted, Kenjaku still had a plan. He used first-grade curses to intercept the red attacks while unleashing his domain expansion: "Domain Expansion: All Enveloping Garbhadhatu," Kenjaku exclaimed as his domain expanded. But Gojo didn't stay idle and also unleashed his domain expansion: "Domain Expansion: Unlimited Void."

The clash of domains shook the earth. Although Gojo seemed to have the upper hand, Kenjaku wasn't going to do nothing. He used his technique [Extreme Cursed Manipulation: Tornado] and launched it towards Gojo, who countered with two red attacks. However, Kenjaku was only using this as a distraction to unleash a special-grade curse, a horrific humanoid swamp creature that swiftly approached Gojo.

Nevertheless, Gojo managed to detect the curse with his six eyes and quickly unleashed a [Blue] attack towards both the special-grade curse and Kenjaku. But Kenjaku just smiled, and the special-grade curse used its cursed technique, causing the blue attacks to sink into space and collide in front of Gojo. This gave Kenjaku the opportunity to win the domain expansion battle and then sink Gojo into the ground using his gravity technique, while attacking with all his might alongside the special-grade curse.

when the special grade curse struck Gojo in such a way that it left him close to Kenjaku, Gojo took the opportunity to punch him in the face with a fist imbued with [blue], followed by a powerful [black flash] towards the special grade curse. Finally, Gojo finished off the special grade curse with a [red] and shot a purple into the center of Kenjaku's domain and at Kenjaku himself, who managed to survive but lost an arm and half of both legs.

"It seems you can't hold that shield for long," Gojo declares while looking at Kenjaku with a crazed face that would intimidate even Izuku himself.

'This can't be! The curses I left behind are dead, they were supposed to come and help me. How do I kill them? Even though I could have defeated them, it couldn't have been in such a short time. Who the hell was the other guy?!' Kenjaku thinks as Gojo approaches him.

"You might have been more annoying to deal with if I had been alone, but I would still win," Gojo declares as he prepares to throw a purple at Kenjaku.

"Wait! Do you want to know why Itadori can be Sukuna's vessel and why he is so physically strong?" Kenjaku says in one last attempt to negotiate. However, this doesn't even make Gojo hesitate, and he simply says, "You shouldn't have desecrated the body you currently possess," showing that Gojo is 100% sure that he is not Geto, as even his domain is different. With that resolved, Gojo decides not to drag this on any longer and throws a [purple] that erases even Kenjaku's soul, who only feared dying from a [purple] because it can erase even his soul.

What Gojo didn't know is that he also broke the seal that kept the sorcerers of past eras sealed, who, without a Kenjaku to control them, will cause chaos that not only Kenjaku himself cannot control, but also....

~~~with Sukuna v/s Mechamaru~~~

Sukuna dodges the missiles from left to right while slowly recovering to reach the mecha. Each beam and missile leaves a mark on the ground, showcasing the power of the mecha's attacks. However, power means nothing if you can't reach your enemy, something Mechamaru won't forget, and Alice already knew.

With great skill, Sukuna was close enough to the mecha to cut through the beam heading straight towards him. Then, using his superhuman agility, he positioned himself on one of the missiles and jumped from one to another, utilizing his surroundings to reach the mecha's head. However, Alice had already anticipated this situation and, using her control over the missiles, made the missile Sukuna was standing on explode, sending him skyrocketing where his maneuverability would be restricted.

"Mechamaru," Alice said with a neutral voice, "boost all the mecha's systems with cursed energy." Mechamaru responded without hesitation, channeling his power to strengthen each component of the mecha while Alice took precise control.

In one last move, Alice utilized the mecha's power to unleash a devastating shot towards Sukuna, aiming to defeat him once and for all.

"Eh?" Suddenly, Itadori regained control of his body, but what he saw left him in shock. A giant beam was heading straight towards him, and he quickly realized it was his end. Accepting his fate, Itadori closed his eyes and thought to himself, 'At least I won't kill anyone else, and a part of Sukuna will die with me...'

*BOOM!*

And a familiar darkness engulfed Itadori for the second time, who smiled in the face of death..."

~~~end of the chapter~~~

A/N: I know it's a short chapter but I wanted to finish this story arc before I start watching other stories and I also want to emphasize that I'm not going to abandon it just yet but I no longer feel as inspired as I did at the beginning, so I'll continue on my own. inspiration but so you understand it is possible that in two days it will go away and inspire me again to upload a chapter
