Outside the forge, Gojo Satoru's expression changed when he heard the content of the bet, and he was about to rush in to stop it.
However, his movement was directly blocked by the old man beside him.
"Satoru, wait a moment!"
"My lord, I do not recognize this bet!"
Gojo Satoru's face was full of confusion. He didn't understand why the old man wanted to stop him. If this bet was truly established, knowing Gojo Michael's character, he would indeed fulfill the bet.
"Don't be anxious! Satoru, many times, your personality is still a little too impatient."
The old man narrowed his eyes slightly, keeping his gaze on Gojo Michael in the forge.
"You and Michael are indeed twins, with complementary personalities. Michael is too calm and steady about many things, while you are too out-of-the-box and impatient."
"I'm afraid this is really destiny."
"Satoru, don't worry. Do you think with a character like Michael's, he would propose a bet that is bound to lose?"
"Although Takuya is very important to Gojo Michael, as the elder brother, you are equally important to him."
"Let's calm down and see how things develop. I'm very curious."
A trace of expectation appeared on the old man's face. He was very curious about what kind of shocking things this descendant, who he had not paid attention to for a long time and had been focusing on forging Cursed Tools, could do.
Is it true, as Gojo Takuya said, that Gojo Michael was able to create a Cursed Tool at the age of six?
If this is really the case, Gojo Michael could even be said to have another kind of talent.
Unlike many ordinary Jujutsu masters, the old man, as the head of the Gojo family, often views people and situations differently.
Ordinary Jujutsu masters think that a Cursed Tool is just an auxiliary to the Jujutsu master, merely the icing on the cake.
However, he doesn't think so!
In the old man's eyes, a Jujutsu master plus a Cursed Tool is the most complete and true Jujutsu master. As a saying goes, "A gentleman is born without being different, and he is good at pretending to be good at things."
A qualified Jujutsu master must learn to make good use of the Cursed Tool.
This is the fundamental reason why the old man always values Gojo Takuya!
If the vast Gojo family lacks a Cursed Tool master as its support, then the Sorcerer Family's heritage would be completely lost.
Now, seeing how disrespectful Gojo Shunichi was to Gojo Takuya, the old man also realized that many things had gone off track without his attention.
Perhaps, he really should make some changes to the entire family.
As for the future direction of the family?
This kind of major change can only be left to Gojo Satoru and Gojo Michael. The two Six Eyes children should have the courage to make the entire Gojo family stand up again.
He is just a conservative guardian now. He first helps Satoru and Michael repair the great ship named Gojo, so that the ship can dock smoothly.
As for whether Gojo Satoru and Gojo Michael will completely renovate the ship or destroy it and rebuild it, it has nothing to do with him...
Compared with the old man's complex thoughts, Gojo Satoru's emotions were much simpler.
—[If Michael really loses, then I will definitely interrupt this bet!]
Gojo Satoru's blue eyes stared intently at everything happening in the forge, not daring to be careless in the slightest.
…
"Master Michael, tell me, how are you going to compete?"
Gojo Shunichi looked at Gojo Michael seriously. In his opinion, he had the advantage in this competition.
He possesses the strength of a second-level Jujutsu master, while Gojo Michael is just an ordinary person with no magical power.
The Cursed Tool in his hand is a second-level Cursed Tool, which is also the proud work of Gojo Takuya, the forging master in front of him, and Gojo Michael's weapon does not even appear to be a Cursed Tool.
Even if Gojo Michael's weapon is a Cursed Tool, how can the apprentice's Cursed Tool defeat the master's Cursed Tool? Moreover, Gojo Takuya also said that this Cursed Tool was forged by Gojo Michael for the first time...
With so many factors added up, he really couldn't imagine how he could lose.
Even he himself felt that this bet was too unfair to Gojo Michael.
Next, as long as Gojo Michael put forward a reasonable request for the bet, he was ready to consider it. Of course, the premise was that it must be reasonable.
As he spoke, Gojo Shunichi threw the Sode Shirayuki back to Gojo Michael.
"Since it's a Cursed Tool competition, I won't use any magic power. I will just use the magic power and spells in the Cursed Tool to compare with you."
Gojo Shunichi's request showed his arrogance.
After all, he was about to face a six-year-old child. It was psychologically difficult for him to bully a young child.
When Gojo Michael heard this, he didn't particularly refuse. This kind of condition was beneficial to his bet, so it was naturally better for him.
At this moment, he had no energy to pay attention to Gojo Shunichi.
All his attention was drawn to the Zanpakutō in his hand.
Previously, because the Zanpakutō was wrapped in a strip of cloth, Gojo Michael never saw Sode Shirayuki's true appearance.
After obtaining Sode Shirayuki, Gojo Michael's face showed the same expression as Gojo Takuya before.
—[Is this Sode no Shirayuki? Why does it look so ordinary? Isn't it said to be the most beautiful Zanpakutō in Soul Society?]
Gojo Michael's eyes widened instantly. This result was not what he expected! If this weapon was not Sode Shirayuki, then he would have lost a lot on this bet...
What appeared in front of Gojo Michael was an ordinary tachi with an octagonal blade and a nearly rectangular shape. There were flame-like patterns on both sides of the long side, and magatama-like patterns on the short side.
There were curved slits above and below the blade, and a series of curved reliefs on both sides of the blade.
The handle of the knife was brownish-red.
It had a completely different appearance from the Sode Shirayuki in Gojo Michael's memory. Just looking at it this way, it was completely impossible to tell that it was Sode Shirayuki from the Shinigami world.
In this Cursed Tool bet, he originally relied on Zanpakutō Sode Shirayuki.
If Sode Shirayuki couldn't play its role, then his bet this time would definitely be lost.
Gojo Michael focused his entire attention on the Zanpakutō, and at the same time, the system's voice finally sounded.
[Detected that the host has successfully bound the Zanpakutō Sode Shirayuki (in a shallow fighting state). Please follow the system prompts to explore the original and swastika versions of the Zanpakutō!]
[Tip 1: The shape, state, and ability of the Zanpakutō are based on the soul of the God of Death himself. The Shinigami gains power by knowing the name of the Zanpakutō given to him and by having spiritual conversations with it.]
[Tip 2: Each sword has its own name. During battle, the Shinigami can call the name of his sword to liberate itself and release more powerful power to fight.]
[Tip 3: If the Shinigami knows the true name of his Zanpakutō, he can call the true name to release the true form and power of the Zanpakutō.]
[Tip 4: The swastika is the second stage of liberation of the Zanpakutō, which is the final liberation after the first stage of liberation of the Zanpakutō! The prerequisite for swastika is that the Zanpakutō's body can be materialized and surrendered.]
