Lord of Dreams – A Multiverse Fanfiction

[Domain Expansion: Malevolent Shrine]

*Bzzzzz*

With Ryomen Sukuna's Domain unfolding, a bloody Buddhist shrine that was decorated with skulls and looked like it was built atop a mountain of corpses abruptly manifested itself across the demolished cemetery.

The moment this shrine appeared, it was like a drop of bloody ink water falling into a calm and serene lake sending ripples through it and infecting it with sky-shrouding malice.

Moreover, these ripples weren't something that normal humans, or even sorcerers for that matter could face as they took the form of innumerable slashing attacks that cut everything in their path apart.

This erasure began with the bloody shrine as the center and then moved forward in all directions as a sphere, 'swallowing' everything it met.

Be it the leftover buildings, the graves, the ground, or even the small dust particles, everything was wiped out.

Moreover, this attack was insanely fast not leaving any time for the opponent to react.

However, thankfully for Yuta, before the attack could land on him, his Realm also manifested itself into the world taking the form of an open domain.

[Domain Expansion: Mirrored Realm]

The moment this domain unfolded, a huge red-colored mirror that had golden runes etched all over its borders appeared behind Yuta, and contrary to the bloody and malicious feeling Sukuna's shrine gave, this mirror sent serenity and calmness into the hearts of all those who looked at it.

Before switching paths, It was unknown what his previous domain was like, however, after making the transition, this domain center was born based on many factors such as his will, his ability, and his values.

It's just that at this moment, none of this was that important as the instant this mirror appeared, it immediately started functioning as intended.

*Swish*

There, centimeters away from Yuta, the wave of destruction came to an abrupt halt.

Then, under the world's expectant eyes, an identical slashing power suddenly emerged from the mirror crashing into the wave that Sukuna sent prior.

*Boom*

*Puff*

The moment they clashed, an uncomfortable sound similar to that of nails clawing at a chalkboard echoed across the plain.

It was as if each of these slashes was a real metal blade and they kept trying to tear each other apart.

This caused a clear division to be manifested in the air which was then swiftly followed by a small explosion that sent new rubles flying everywhere.

It's just that their clash didn't end there as the moment this clash ended, another one immediately began.

*Swish*

*BOOM*

*Crack*

*Crack*

However, the center of the clash wasn't that close to Yuta, instead, it occurred at the center of the space between them and at a much higher power level.

It seems that both fighters focused all of their power on this attack each trying to overpower the other party.

"This..."

"It's weirdly beautiful..."

"Such an amazing scene."

These were the words of the different people who were watching this battle from all corners of the world.

However, while they were praising the beautiful and amazing scene in front of them, they weren't actually referring to the actual battle, instead, it is the scene that was miraculously born from the clash between the two domains and the values and emotions which they inadvertently conveyed.

With the huge holy mirror on one side and a bloody shrine on the other, the center of the battlefield shone with brilliant golden light and a conflicting dim bloody light.

Each of these sides represented different ideals which were clearly presented for all to see; All that was required was for people to just focus and understand the meaning behind it.

On one side, the mirror represented the path of goodness, self-sacrifice, friendship, guardianship, and hope.

On the other side, the shrine and the mountain of corpses under it clearly presented the path of absolute malice, selfishness, and burning everything to reach one's objective.

It is the path of complete self-centredness and self-interest where a person's own interests and desires overshadow everything else.

These were not simply some unimportant ideals and thoughts, instead, they also represented the path to power of the people who made them.

Should one become stronger to protect others, or should one sacrifice everyone and everything to become stronger?

Which path is easier to walk and which path is stronger?

These were some questions and thoughts that plagued the Jujutsu World since its creation.

It's just that for now, it seems that Sukuna's path is the only path that has been proven to be able to reach 'Complete Enlightenment' in the Jujutsu World.

And while this might have something to do with the negative aspect of this power system, this still makes a big point on the aspect of strength and power.

It's just that such thoughts and ideas are yet to be proven in the context of a new power system that has the potential to change everything and give people the opportunity to follow their own paths without needing to change their ideals to grow stronger.

And so, to prove something, many tests and experiments are required, and this battle right now could be considered as the first and maybe last test for a philosophical question that may never be answered.

It's just that right now, while the observers may be a bit interested in this subject, the fighters themselves didn't care about this at all as they were still deadlocked neither of them gaining any advantage.

*Buzzzzzz*

*Bzzzzzzzz*

*BZZZZZ*

However, this soon changed after Yuta suddenly raised his head and truly spoke to Sukuna for the first time since the battle began.

It's just that even though he was speaking to Sukuna, Yuta's words seemed to also be directed to all those who were watching.

Moreover, rather than a speech, it sounded more like an explanation or even a declaration.

"Copy and Paste, this is my ability."

"However, it was never stated that one can only paste once..."
