129 Chapter 123- Fifth Floor: Friends or...

General Mahoraga can adapt to any technique or phenomenon once the behemoth experiences it. Although it takes some time to adapt to complicated techniques like 'Cleave' and 'Dismantle', the Divine General has the strength to back itself up until the adapting process is not finished.

Just like now, when Haru released several slashes on Mahoraga, by removing the process, the wheel of Mahoraga moved.

Haru was in a state where he needed 'things to happen' and the process for the act to transpire was removed—leaving the foe with no option of defending. As such, no one, including Gojo Satoru or Ryomen Sukuna could judge what Haru's next move would be.

Therefore, the nemesis of Nanase Haruka was none other than General Mahoraga, who cannot only tank Haru's relentless assault but get accustomed to the effect of his reality defying his ability sooner or later.

*****

The smirk that danced on the demonic maw of Haru, could easily make one's skin crawl in fret. However, the entity facing Haru at the moment didn't have the luxury to feel fear from anyone.

"GRRR!" The Divine General left a small crater behind and released itself toward Haru with its double-edged blade extended forward.

Haru raised his left hand with his index finger sticking out.

He awaited the behemoth to reach inches away from him, before a violet orb left his fingertip, at a pace which was simply impossible to defend.

**BOOOOM**

The deathly illumination broadened Haru's smile before the whole building along with Mahoraga was coated in fierce destruction.

Haru remained unfazed despite he detonated Hollow:Purple, inches away from himself.

The whole building was shattered and torn from the tremendous destructiveness of the technique and the Divine General lay under the rubble.

Haru's grin was about to cease in disappointment when suddenly the figure of Mahoraga disappeared and a huge shadow loomed over Haru from above.

"GRRRGH!!" The Divine General was quick on recovery as the Wheel of Dharma moved again and Mahoraga was closer to adapting every ace that Haru possessed.

Mahoraga was about to charge at the inhumane horn-possessing figure with its swords of extermination held high above its head—ready to land on Haru's head.

However, the moment Mahoraga lowered the blade, Haru disappeared in thin air and appeared right behind the still-levitating Divine General.

"Kuku..." A sinister laugh echoed before Haru delivered a round hose kick on Mahoraga's back with that devilish grin never leaving his face.

Mahoraga was late to respond and received the attack head-on.

The figure of the Divine General just whipped away and within a fraction of a second, a devastating explosion occurred on the street with a sole figure at the eye of the explosion.

Haru grinned at that before he raised his left hand high in the air and summoned a huge meteor-sized Reversal: Red above his hand.

The potent energy emanating from Red distorted reality itself, while the once tepid air surrounding Haru grew scorching. The very ground quivered beneath the sheer force of the technique's energy, and the sky darkened ominously as if in mourning. Yet, oblivious to all else, Haru set his sight on Mahoraga, intent on erasing its existence from the world once and for all.

At that precise moment, Sukuna appeared behind Haru with his domain amplification in working, and his left hand reeled back in a punch.

The moment Sukuna realized how unmatched Mahoraga and Haru were, he decided to step in. Before Mahoraga's existence gets erased, Sukuna needs to get rid of this sorcerer.

However, before he could have landed the punch with the Black Flash intended to be inflicted, Haru switched his position with Sukuna with the index finger of the other hand, pointed toward Sukuna's back.

Sukuna was quick to respond, as he crouched down and evaded the Reversal: Red from this close and jumped off the building.

Twisting his body mid-air, he launched the piercing blood toward Haru but didn't target him precisely. Rather, the King of Curses set Haru's raised hand as his target—intending to defuse the giant Red Bomb.

"Hehe~" Haru grinned. Sukuna frowned.

The Piercing Blood that was supposed to penetrate Haru's wrist suddenly bent against Sukuna's will and curved in an arc.

'Absurd...' Sukuna mentally muttered as he found the red arrow of blood curving to target the chanter...that was Sukuna himself.

'This is not just the ability of Infinity. None of the Six Eyes users nor Gojo Satoru could bend the reality in this way...' Sukuna for the first time in the battle, felt that his hidden aces would do no damage to this sorcerer.

Even his original body would help him chant better and assist in combat. However, none of it would matter if Sukuna's technique wouldn't even reach his adversary.

Domain's sure hit effect was negated back then. The Piercing Blood doesn't work on him. Mahoraga was overpowered by the sorcerer single-handedly. And now, the sorcerer was having a fun time tormenting Sukuna.

But there was no point in mulling over a matter which could not be solved through brute force.

Sukuna wouldn't know until he doesn't try it. As such he was about to restore his original body and bring his cursed tools into play.

However, before any of those things could have happened, someone appeared right in front of Haru with his hands tucked in his pockets and a serious frown marring his handsome face.

"Are you sure you want to do this? The impact of that attack wouldn't kill Sukuna but it surely can harm my students."

Sukuna grinned hearing Gojo's words. This was it. This was the interval he needed to prepare for what he desired.

Gojo Satoru might be the missing element that would help Sukuna to deal with this creature.

Gojo stood while facing the person who once was his student. However, at the moment, those eyes radiated nothing but the intent to murder. Those horns weren't there for aesthetics rather they showed what kind of being Haru had turned into.

Gojo knew that the technique that Haru had invoked was something far greater than what Gojo could ever chant. As such there was a high chance that not only the targeted region but the whole city might be obliterated. And Gojo was not letting such a thing happen.

The grin that Haru wore, extended even further as he clenched his fist and huge Reversal Red disappeared instantly.

However, unlike what one would expect, he wasn't complying with Gojo's words...rather, Haru has now taken Gojo as his opponent.
