Chapter 262: Is Sukuna Invincible?

As expected, Ryomen Sukuna was not destroyed by Satoshi.

However, what left Ogi displeased was that Satoshi had used this opportunity to showcase his power to the entire sorcery world.

The power of his Zanpakutō hadn't disappeared at all. If anything, this situation would backfire against the General Directorate. The Gojo clan had been accused of secretly collecting Sukuna's fingers to develop Satoshi's Zanpakutō, but this result disproved that claim entirely...

He was already frustrated that he hadn't been able to weaken the Gojo clan's prestige. Still, the fact that Sukuna's finger hadn't been destroyed at least meant that the Gojo clan's dominance wouldn't grow stronger.

Once this is over, the General Directorate will suppress the news. Keep it vague, so Satoshi doesn't become uncontrollable.

Zenin Ogi was already planning how to continue suppressing Satoshi's influence once the situation ended.

...

It was time to bring things to a close.

As the General Directorate's representative, Zenin Ogi prepared to declare the end of the incident.

Kamo Kaname exhaled, relieved. He could finally leave the Treasury. His understanding of the world had been completely shattered during this ordeal. In front of Satoshi, he was painfully aware of how insignificant he was. All he wanted now was to escape.

Among the three representatives from the General Directorate, Yagyū Saemon appeared visibly upset. He didn't want things to end like this. After all, Satoshi had not yet accomplished the mission he had set out to complete.

But the other two members of the General Directorate disagreed with him, so his objections held no weight.

Yagyū Saemon could only shake his head in silence and accept the outcome.

Just as Zenin Ogi was about to speak, Satoshi turned his head and looked at him in silence.

At that moment, the frost-covered robes draped over Satoshi's shoulders hadn't yet dissipated. That single glance made Ogi's entire body freeze.

What a terrifying gaze.

Those pale blue Six Eyes, the white lashes like misted frost, the faint breath forming vapor from his slightly parted lips...

It was enough to render Zenin Ogi speechless.

He was frozen by Satoshi's stare, body completely immobilized.

This entire scene was clearly broadcast to all viewers of the livestream.

"That's one of the General Directorate's reps. He couldn't even move under Gojo Satoshi's gaze."

"I think that's Zenin Ogi from the Zenin clan. A Grade 1 sorcerer reduced to this in front of Gojo Satoshi?"

"Gojo Satoshi's level has probably reached Special Grade. Zenin Ogi, a mere Grade 1, can't resist that kind of power."

"When he used Hadō earlier, he was likely already at Grade 1. Now that he's wielding a Zanpakutō, I doubt even Yuki could beat him."

"Yuki-sama and Satoshi-sama aren't enemies. In fact, there's still something ambiguous going on between them, right? Maybe we'll see a legendary couple emerge from the jujutsu world."

Across Japan, sorcerers were fervently discussing Satoshi's strength.

Zenin Ogi's frozen reaction had already become the focus of conversation among sorcerers. Not only had he failed to suppress the Gojo clan's prestige through this event...

His performance had actually damaged the Zenin clan's reputation.

In contrast, the Kamo clan's representative, quiet and inconspicuous throughout—had at least not caused any embarrassment. Most viewers didn't even realize that he was Kamo Kaname from the Kamo clan...

...

As the beautiful icy garments faded from Satoshi's body, Zenin Ogi finally broke free from the paralysis induced by his gaze.

Realizing that his disgraceful reaction had been seen by so many, his expression twisted with anger. He felt that Satoshi had deliberately humiliated him in front of the second livestream.

"Gojo Satoshi, it's over! This is the end! You failed! Sukuna's fingers are indestructible! Sukuna is invincible!"

Zenin Ogi completely lost control as he shouted.

Everyone at the scene frowned. Even Kamo Kaname, standing on the same side as Ogi, subconsciously took a few steps away from him.

No one expected Zenin Ogi to say something so absurd.

While it was true that the General Directorate didn't want Satoshi to destroy Sukuna's finger, that kind of intention was something best left unspoken. How could anyone just outright declare Sukuna invincible?

Viewers of the livestream began to feel outright disgust toward Zenin Ogi.

They didn't know the politics of the Directorate.

But they did know this—sorcerers were supposed to oppose curses. And as the King of Curses, Ryomen Sukuna was the very embodiment of what sorcerers stood against. To say he was "invincible" was disgraceful.

Why would Zenin Ogi say something like that with pride?

This guy's worldview is warped.

That thought surfaced in the minds of many viewers watching the second livestream. What started as mockery now turned into genuine disdain for this middle-aged man.

Gojo Satoshi was strong and composed.

Zenin Ogi had a petty face and barely any strength to back it up.

The contrast made it clear—most people now sided with Gojo Satoshi.

After all, Satoshi had never boasted or said anything unnecessary. Everything he had done was to destroy Sukuna's finger.

At this moment, Yuki's expression turned cold as she looked toward Zenin Ogi.

Sukuna is invincible?

That was a thousand years ago. You're still repeating Sukuna's words now? Is that what a sorcerer should say?

She had always remained in Kyoto, largely indifferent to the rivalry between the Three Great Sorcerer Clans.

In her view, as long as Satoshi awakened successfully, everything else would work itself out.

And if Satoshi had never awakened, then even if the Gojo clan declined and lost to the alliance of the Kamo and Zenin clans, that would be acceptable.

Because that would simply mean Satoru, bearer of the Six Eyes and this generation's wielder of the Limitless Technique, was not strong enough to carry the clan's weight.
