Lord of Dreams – A Multiverse Fanfiction

However, it's a pity that all of this was unknown to Sukuna who after suffering permanent damage from the first backlash didn't back down but instead got ready to launch another attack.

It's just that the moment he had the intention to do so, another vision materialized before his eyes foretelling an illusory future that swiftly dissolved into an unavoidable backlash.

'Damn it, once again?'

*Swish*

*Puff*

Unable to defend or even react to the unstoppable backlash, Sukuna's last right arm silently disintegrated into nothingness.

*Puff*

Holding onto his right side with his left arms, Sukuna couldn't help but grit his teeth as he looked at the indifferent man standing before him.

'Even when I have fully focused, I was not able to find the origin of the attack.'

'One moment my arm was there, and the next it was gone.'

'Rather than needing something to cause it, this backlash feels like something that 'Should Happen'.'

'It feels like something completely natural and integral to the world.'

'Instead of an external attack, it's more like one of the fundamental forces of the universe like gravity, space, and time.'

'There isn't a reason as to why it exists, it simply does!'

'The only thing that I sensed at that moment were the fundamental laws of this world pushing against me.'

'However, while the situation is bad, it is also an opportunity.'

'Maybe...Maybe...I can use this to glimpse at the next level...'

Thinking of this, Sukuna quickly resolved himself and prepared to attack once again, after all, he doesn't actually have any other options.

It's just that as he had expected, the moment he had the intention of doing so, he was swiftly met with a quick and destructive counterattack.

*Swish*

*Puff*

However, luckily for him, it seems that because his malicious intent wasn't that high this time given that his actual objective was to analyze the backlashes he was receiving rather than intending to harm Lorien, the damage he endured this time wasn't enough to destroy another hand of his.

Immediately noticing this, Sukuna couldn't help but get more motivated causing him to quickly prepare another number wave of successive attacks.

*Swish*

*Puff*

*Swish*

*Puff*

*Swish*

*Puff*

Repeating this a number of times under Lorien's bewildered sight, the accumulated damage caused Sukuna to look like a bloody figure with no place intact in his body.

If it weren't for him reducing his malice and his powerful tenacity, Sukuna would have most likely already fallen unconscious.

'Is this guy trying to analyze my attacks so he could further improve his power?'

'Will he really be able to achieve this?'

Quickly realizing what was happening, Lorien who was planning to quickly finish the battle couldn't help but stop in his tracks.

'Well, let's just wait then, let's see if he wins the race.'

'Will he get killed by the successive backlashes before he succeeds in launching an attack, or will he be able to evolve, this is really interesting!'

Previously, Sukuna was able to create a spatial slash thanks to his accumulated knowledge in the past thousands of years and all the samples Lorien left him.

However, it's still unknown if Sukuna's knowledge base and foundation are enough for him to take a glimpse at the laws of this world.

It's similar to someone who has never studied maths, no matter how much you show him the symbols and how simple the equation is, they won't understand it.

However, if someone has mathematical knowledge, then even if he doesn't know the specific equation, he might actually be able to understand it if he is smart enough.

Sukuna's current situation is very similar to this example, so Lorien really wonders if the curse in front of him can actually create a miracle.

'Alright then, let's stand by for now.'

Finally coming to a decision, Lorien crossed his hands in front of him and kept gazing indifferently at Sukuna not planning to do anything.

However, his intentions actually caused the backlash that Sukuna was receiving to get reduced thereby giving him more time to advance.

'Come on! Come on! Come one!'

'I can feel it, it's very close!!'

Gritting his teeth and forgetting everything around him, Sukuna seemed to enter a mysterious and silent realm as his spirit sought enlightenment.

It is here, faced with unparalleled pressure and standing at the edge between life and death where one can most clearly see the true essence of things.

Such conditions were very rare for people as powerful as Sukuna and Gojo, however, these were actually the conditions most appropriate for people like them to improve.

*Swish*

*Puff*

*Swish*

*Puff*

With this act of self-destruction continuing for a few more minutes, Sukuna's body continued to get reduced into nothingness bit by bit.

Standing in front of him, even Lorien couldn't help but wonder how many more backlashes he could take.

'Well, it seems that this is the end.'

'I would have liked to end him with my own hands, however, somehow, this is also an appropriate ending for him...'

Thinking of this, Lorien couldn't help but shake his head and wonder how much feedback he'd receive from Sukuna's death and how much he'd improve.

After all, we can't forget that the main purpose of creating this 'Dream Path' is for 'Dream Path Walkers' to kill and devour the Negative Creatures they kill.

Not to mention, that as the path creator, he gets feedback anyways every time a Dream Path Walker or Nightmare Spirit dies.

'Come on, just die already...'

'I have a power system to share worldwide!'
