The chaos on the battlefield reached its climax. Kenjaku and Uraume unleashed their cursed techniques, transforming the surroundings into a terrain filled with cursed energy, shadows, and ice. Pikachu, weakened and barely conscious, watched from the ground, feeling the weight of the battle in every fiber of his being. The frozen bodies of Jin Murasame, Tsubaki Gojo, Angel, and Takako Uro lay motionless, caught in Uraume's icy wrath, while Tengen, growing weaker, watched in anguish at the fight between these titans of evil.

Uraume's ice dragon continued on its course, roaring with relentless force, but Kenjaku was not easy to defeat. With a quick gesture, he summoned his Domain Expansion, enveloping space in a shadowy sphere that extended beyond Uraume's ice. Shadows emerged from nowhere, dancing with dizzying speed, destroying the ice and neutralizing the white dragon's influence.

"This is my kingdom," Kenjaku growled, his voice echoing deep in the void he had created. "Sukuna is gone, and now, his legacy will fall under my control. Everything you have done, Uraume, will be in vain."

But Uraume, far from being intimidated, only clenched his fists, intensifying his cursed technique. The ice dragon began to reform, fiercer than ever, and the air around it became so cold that even Kenjaku's shadows seemed to lose their shape, slowly freezing.

"Sukuna will never fall," Uraume whispered with icy fury. "Even if he is dead, his will lives on through me. And as long as I have strength, I will destroy anyone who threatens his name."

The clash between Uraume's energy and Kenjaku's was titanic. The once clear and open battlefield had now become a vortex of cursed energy, ice, and shadows. Every blow they exchanged made space itself tremble.

Pikachu, on the ground, tried to gather strength. He knew that if he didn't do something soon, everything would be lost. Even exhausted, his will to protect his friends and stop the chaos was the only thing keeping him conscious. Tengen tried to move his lips to speak to him, but he could barely manage to get out a weak whisper, drawing his attention.

—"Pikachu... we can't lose..." —Tengen muttered, his body collapsing more and more under Kenjaku's hold and the strain of the cursed energy surrounding it.

With his last breath, Pikachu felt a spark of power within himself. He stood up, staggering, and his eyes filled with determination. He couldn't let his friends' sacrifice go in vain. With a piercing cry, he launched a bolt of lightning into the sky, summoning the last vestige of energy he had left.

"I will not let you destroy everything we have protected!" Pikachu screamed as his body glowed with blinding intensity.

The bolt of lightning struck directly at the core of Kenjaku's Domain Expanse, creating a crack in the shadowy barrier surrounding it. Uraume, seeing the opportunity, unleashed all of his remaining power in a final attack, driving the ice dragon into the heart of the domain.

"Now!" Uraume shouted, and the dragon roared, tearing through the shadows and ice that had held Kenjaku's domain.

Kenjaku, surprised by the combined strength of Pikachu and Uraume, tried to back away, but it was too late. The ice dragon pierced his chest, freezing his body in an instant. The shadow of his domain collapsed, crumbling around him like a wave of uncontrolled energy.

Kenjaku, trapped in the ice, smiled weakly, his face frozen in a mix of disbelief and resignation.

"You… damn traitor… Uraume…" he whispered as his body disintegrated into shards of ice and cursed energy. "This… isn't over…"

With one last crack, Kenjaku's body crumbled completely, leaving only a trail of cursed dust that vanished into the air.

Silence fell over the battlefield. Uraume's body, having unleashed all of its power, began to crumble as well, exhausted from the battle and the sacrifice it had made. Tengen, weakened, watched in silence as Sukuna's faithful follower fell to her knees, her eyes fixed on the sky.

—"Sukuna-sama... I have kept my promise..." —Uraume whispered, his face showing a strange mix of peace and resignation. And with those words, his body turned into pure ice, slowly fragmenting until it disappeared completely.

Pikachu fell to the ground, panting, his body almost unable to move. Victory had been obtained, but at a high cost. Kenjaku's imposing figure and Uraume's unwavering loyalty had been defeated, but the battle left deep scars on Pikachu's soul.

As the light of dawn began to illuminate the sky, Pikachu closed his eyes, exhausted, knowing that although they had won a great battle, the true war against the curses curses in the future was just beginning since everything would be left in the hands of the next generation.
