It wasn't just darkness... it was as if something was breathing in the shadows.

Megumi walked alone, his hands in his pockets, feeling that pressure in his chest that warned him a powerful curse was near. This was no small matter… this smelled of death.

—Tsk… what a nuisance —he muttered.

Suddenly, the floor broke.

A giant curse emerged, deformed, with multiple faces screaming at once. It wasn't normal… it was as if it were made of pure human fear.

Megumi frowned.

—So it's you…

Without wasting any time, he made the seal with his hands.

—I summon… Divine Dogs.

The shadows parted, and its shikigami attacked without hesitation. But the thing… didn't even flinch. It destroyed them with a single blow.

Silence.

For the first time in a long time… Megumi felt that this could go wrong.

The curse spoke, with mingled voices:

—You… you have potential… let me devour you…

Megumi gritted her teeth.

It wasn't fear of dying... it was something else.

He recalled Satoru Gojo's words: "You have more potential than you think... but you're holding yourself back."

"What a nuisance..." she whispered.

Then he stopped holding back.

The shadows around him began to expand, swallowing the street, the buildings, everything.

"If I'm going to die..." he said in a cold voice.
…I'd better take everything with you.

Her eyes changed.

Dark. Determined.

—Domain Expansion… Garden of Shadows Chimera.

The world became distorted.

The shadows came to life, multiplying and forming impossible creatures. This time they weren't ordinary invocations… it was their pure will.

The curse screamed… for the first time, with real fear.

Megumi advanced.

Step by step.

Without a doubt.

"I'm not a hero," he said, "... I just do what I want."

The shadows devoured everything.

When it was over… there was nothing left.

Only silence.

Megumi breathed heavily, standing in the middle of the dark void. She knew she had crossed a line… but she also knew something else.

She was never going to hold back again.
