The battlefield had become a storm of cosmic energy, shifting and warping as the Anti-Spiral's presence grew stronger. Space itself seemed to bend under the immense force of their enemy's will, and for the first time, Gojo, Naruto, Sukuna, and Toji found themselves at the mercy of an entity beyond human comprehension.
"They're evolving too fast," Gojo muttered, his mind racing as he analyzed the shifting constructs before them. His Six Eyes pulsed beneath his blindfold, struggling to process the surreal distortions. "We need to change tactics."
"No kidding!" Naruto gritted his teeth, dodging an incoming spiral tendril that cracked the ground where he once stood. His Sage of Six Paths' cloak flared around him as he summoned a Truth-Seeking Orb to shield himself. "These things aren't just adapting; they're countering everything we throw at them."
Sukuna laughed maniacally, his crimson markings flaring with dark energy. "Then we stop holding back. Let's see if they can counter pure destruction!" With a flick of his fingers, he unleashed a Malevolent Shrine, his domain expansion carving through the endless void. Blades rained from every direction, slicing into the Anti-Spiral constructs with devastating force.
For a moment, silence.
Then the battlefield itself twisted, the Anti-Spiral's voice echoing in the depths of space. "Your efforts are meaningless. Your Spiral existence is flawed. We shall erase you from this reality."
The remnants of Sukuna's domain shattered as the constructs reformed, shifting into grotesque figures with spiraling eyes that saw beyond dimensions. The ground beneath them cracked as gravity itself turned hostile, pulling them toward an abyss of nothingness.
Toji reacted instantly. With a burst of inhuman speed, he dashed through the battlefield, his Inverted Spear of Heaven cutting through space itself. He reappeared beside Gojo, slicing through an incoming tendril before it reached him. "We need a way to sever their connection to whatever's fueling them," he said, his voice calm but firm.
Gojo nodded. "Agreed. They're not physical beings in the conventional sense. They're an extension of something bigger."
Naruto's eyes widened as realization dawned. "Then we don't just fight them—we cut them off from their source!"
At that moment, a ripple in space revealed a spiraling core hidden within the battlefield, a pulsating mass of condensed Anti-Spiral energy. It was the heart of their influence, an anchor tying them to this reality.
Gojo grinned. "That's our target."
But before they could move, the Anti-Spiral's form shifted again, coalescing into a massive entity that dwarfed everything around them. Its hollow voice resonated through the cosmos. "Fools. You have seen but a fraction of our power."
The sheer pressure of its presence forced them to their knees. It was no longer just fighting them—it was rewriting the battlefield itself.
Sukuna, defiant as ever, spat out blood and smirked. "Heh. Now this is getting interesting."
The final battle had begun.
