You call this a projection?

The [Unlimited Void], which seemingly lacks any powerful offensive capability.

The maximum damage it can achieve is merely the destruction of an ordinary person’s brain.

Once the target is aimed at those possessing extraordinary powers, they can utilize that extraordinary power to protect their brains, preventing them from being incinerated by the bombardment of massive amounts of information.

It will not cause them significant damage.

However, if that were all there was to it, how could Gojo Satoru, who possesses the domain [Unlimited Void] in the world of Jujutsu Kaisen, be called the strongest?

And how could Emiya Shirou have thought of so many methods, fulfilling so many conditions just to bypass the limitation of Projection Magic being unable to project innate constitutions, in order to obtain both the [Limitless Cursed Technique] and the [Six Eyes]?

It is because during the duration of the [Unlimited Void], regardless of whether they are an ordinary person or a being possessing extraordinary powers, they are forced into a state where they are unable to think and can only stand there, dazed, due to the bombardment of information forcibly instilled into their brains.

It is arguably the strongest control skill.

...It should have been so.

However, as it stands now, this skill, which is arguably invincible in Jujutsu Kaisen, has completely lost its effect in front of the [Pandora’s Box] Cursed Spirit.

Not only did it fail to provide any restraint against the [Pandora’s Box] Cursed Spirit, it actually seemed to have enraged [Pandora’s Box], causing it to emit this roar that resounded throughout the entire Reality Marble!

”This is the power of the world.!!!”

Faced with the [Pandora’s Box] Cursed Spirit, which is equivalent to a Cursed Spirit of the world, even just standing in front of it, Emiya Shirou and his companions felt as if they were being pressed down by the world itself, truly feeling what the weight of the world means.

Any attack they made would be pulverized by this world!

”It’s just that you are truly too stupid, [Pandora’s Box] Cursed Spirit.”

After the means of attack that Emiya Shirou regarded as his trump card were all countered and broken by the [Pandora’s Box] Cursed Spirit, Emiya Shirou, who logically should have had no other methods, was still able to laugh out loud after seeing this scene: ”If you had truly been controlled by [Unlimited Void], if you had lost consciousness amidst the information bombardment of [Unlimited Void], I would most likely have truly had to admit defeat, cancel

the Cursed Spirit-manifested DISC I placed on you, and only let Miyu and the others choose to abandon the Earth and flee with the humans of this parallel world.”

”But now, after you have made this choice to counter [Unlimited Void], things will become completely different!”

Speaking of which, the [Pseudo-Atum] stand projection had never been cancelled by Emiya Shirou.

Even if a Stand User, without considering Stands like [Anubis] which do not require the Stand User’s own mental energy to maintain, can at most maintain two Stands; and because these two Stands share the same Stand User’s mental energy, causing the abilities of both Stands to decline significantly compared to having a single Stand, Emiya Shirou, who had known this for a long time, had never cancelled the [Pseudo-Atum] stand projection.

This is not only because he needs to maintain the magical energy supply for Saber in his capacity as a Master and use Projection Magic to fight, which requires the Greater Grail to act as his source of magical energy to prevent his own magical energy supply from failing.

It is also because, if Emiya Shirou wants to truly defeat the [Pandora’s Box] Cursed Spirit—this Cursed Spirit that is the incarnation of the world—he must borrow the invincible Stand ability of [Pseudo-Atum].

As long as the target generates even the slightest thought of defeat, [Pseudo-Atum] can accurately capture that thought and seize the soul of the target who generated that thought of defeat.

In other words, if the [Pandora’s Box] Cursed Spirit were truly blasted into a state of unconsciousness by the information bombardment of [Unlimited Void], [Pseudo-Atum] wouldn’t just be unable to capture a thought of defeat; it wouldn’t be able to capture any thoughts at all, and thus it would be impossible to activate its Stand ability.

Of course, [Pseudo-Atum], which requires the target to generate a thought of defeat to activate its Stand ability, also cannot seize the opponent’s soul if the [Pandora’s Box] Cursed Spirit does not admit defeat.

But why did the [Pandora’s Box] Cursed Spirit think Emiya Shirou wanted to use the Domain Expansion of [Unlimited Void]?

And why did he specifically project Okkotsu Yuta, and in the game world of Jujutsu Kaisen, on the condition of helping Gojo Satoru and the others deal with those indestructible cursed objects, force Okkotsu Yuta to learn the technique of aiming the Domain Expansion at a single target, just so that he could also project and learn this technique?

And why did he make Saber and the others have to inflict damage on the [Pandora’s Box] Cursed Spirit, even if it was just an insignificant wound, to make the [Pandora’s Box] Cursed Spirit realize that it could be hurt?

All these preparatory works were prepared for [Unlimited Void]!

Because the [Unlimited Void], which had been specially adjusted by Emiya Shirou, contained more than just useless information being blasted into the brain of the [Pandora’s Box] Cursed Spirit.

Through the ability of the [Six Eyes], Emiya Shirou also adjusted it to bombard the brain of the [Pandora’s Box] Cursed Spirit with information that it had been hurt, and information that Saber and the others could win, as kept being asserted by Emiya Shirou, which were constantly deepened and forcibly bombarded into the brain of the [Pandora’s Box] Cursed Spirit together!

”Failed, failed, failed...”

”Will lose, will lose, will lose...”

Inside the inner world of [Pandora’s Box].

The first one to be struck was Darius.

Darius, who had already been unable to maintain his previous composure under a small trick of Emiya Shirou and had begun to doubt whether his ”immortal body,” which he had always relied on, had been broken, was used as human armor by the [Pandora’s Box] Cursed Spirit to share the information bombardment brought by [Unlimited Void].

Undoubtedly, at this very first moment, combined with his own lack of confidence at this time, he ceased to remain in the stage of doubt, but was left completely with only thoughts of ”failed” and ”will lose.”

He became a repeater, filled with these targeted failure messages, only repeating these words of failure.
