Marvel: Superman Strength in a World of Heroes

"Three hours ago…"

"Our informant confirmed the presence of a Cursed Womb."

"Evacuation is 90% complete. Site leadership has ordered the facility sealed off."

"All residents within a 500-meter radius have been relocated."

Standing at the front of the group, Irie, a logistics officer from Kyoto Jujutsu High, briefed the three young jujutsu sorcerers seated before him.

『Yuji Itadori』: "Excuse me, Irie-san, I have a question."

Yuji raised his hand with a puzzled look. Irie nodded and explained the detail before returning to his main report.

"Second Detention Facility…"

"If this Cursed Womb undergoes metamorphosis, there's a chance it could evolve into a Special Grade Cursed Spirit."

『Megumi Fushiguro』 & 『Nobara Kugisaki』: "Special Grade…?"

The two were visibly shaken.

Yuji, meanwhile, just looked lost.

『Yuji Itadori』: "Umm… I still don't really understand how the grading system works…"

After all, it wasn't long ago that he was just a regular high schooler. The world of curses and sorcery was still new to him.

『Irie (Logistics Officer)』: "Then allow me to explain in a way even an idiot can understand."

He offered a dry smile and launched into a breakdown.

"If we assume normal weapons can affect curses…"

"Grade 4—A wooden stick will do the trick."

"Grade 3—A handgun should be enough to stay safe."

"Grade 2—A shotgun might barely cut it."

"Grade 1—Even a tank might not be enough."

"And Special Grade… well, even with carpet bombing and cluster munitions, you'd only break even."

『Yuji Itadori』: "Holy crap!!"

His eyes widened with disbelief.

In his heart, a thought slipped in.

If even carpet bombing can only match a Special Grade, can the group members from the chat take one down?

Maybe… some of them could?

That guy they always talk about『God Among Men』he could resurrect people.

Surely that level of power could go toe-to-toe with a Special Grade?

But… the samurai types and ninjas probably couldn't, right?

And that 『Passing Kamen Rider』 guy… no one had ever mentioned his real power level. Was he strong enough?

Yuji wasn't sure…

『Megumi Fushiguro』: "Normally, missions like this would be handled by sorcerers equal in strength to the curse."

"Gojo-sensei should've been the one deployed."

『Yuji Itadori』: "Wait, where is Gojo-sensei?"

『Megumi Fushiguro』: "On assignment."

『Yuji Itadori』: "Seriously?"

『Megumi Fushiguro』: "He's a top-tier sorcerer. He can't just sit around HQ all day."

Irie added with a grave tone:

『Irie』: "Unfortunately, being short-staffed is the norm in this field."

"Quite often, we're forced to take on missions beyond our level."

"But this case is unusually urgent and dangerous."

"That's why I'm telling you now, do not engage in combat."

His expression hardened.

"If you run into a Special Grade, there are only two options: Run or Die."

Even Yuji, a total beginner, stiffened at those words.

Megumi and Nobara, despite their experience, also turned pale.

『Irie』: "Let your fear guide you."

"Don't forget: your task is only to locate and rescue survivors."

At that moment, a voice called out from a distance.

『???:』 "Um… Excuse me, is A-Zheng okay?"

They turned to see a middle-aged woman being held back by security.

『???:』 "My son… A-Zheng, is he alright?!"

Yuji's face darkened at the sight.

『Irie』: "She's one of the visitors. A guardian."

He stepped forward to address her.

『Irie』: "Please return home."

"There's reason to suspect poisoning within the facility. That's all we can share."

『A-Zheng's Mother』: "Why…"

"Why is this happening?!"

She broke into sobs.

Yuji clenched his fists.

『Yuji Itadori』: "Fushiguro, Kugisaki…"

"We have to save him."

『Megumi Fushiguro & Nobara Kugisaki』: "Of course."

Resolute, the three stepped into the dormitory facility.

Though Yuji was shocked by the idea of a curse requiring carpet bombing to defeat…

He wasn't afraid.

Because he had a trump card.

Thanks to the chat group, he had been checking in daily.

Other than spending some points for cash early on, he had saved most of his points.

Dozens remained, his insurance policy for emergencies.

Because being a sorcerer was inherently dangerous, and backup plans were necessary.

And there was no way he could win against a Special Grade in his current state.

How do you even fight something that can survive a bombing?

So

Yuji decided to post a mission in the group and ask for help.

After all

Some members could literally bring people back from the dead.

And names like 『Passing Kamen Rider』 sounded powerful just on their own.

He had heard others in the group mention 『Carl』 and "missions."

So he knew how to post one, and that he was allowed to.

This was his lifeline.

Sure, he wanted to grow strong and fight his own battles one day.

But right now, he was just a freshman.

And when lives are on the line, there's no time to hesitate.

Yuji had made a vow, based on his grandfather's dying words:

"Help others. Die surrounded by people you've saved."

That was the path he had chosen.

Of course, he also had the power of Sukuna inside him.

But he couldn't control that.

He could only act as a host, switching back and forth at best.

Given how dangerous Sukuna was, and the presence of the chat group—

Yuji would rather not use that power unless absolutely necessary.

…

Irie activated a curtain barrier, a veil that concealed the area from ordinary humans.

『Megumi Fushiguro』 summoned his Divine Dogs shikigami to sniff out curses.

The three of them entered the facility, fully prepared.

But not long after stepping in

Something was wrong.

『Yuji Itadori』: "What the hell is this?!"

『Nobara Kugisaki』: "What's going on?"

『Yuji Itadori』: "Wasn't this supposed to be a two-story dormitory?"

Ahead of them

The modest two-story building had transformed into a skyscraper surrounded by a vast street.

Yuji and Nobara were clueless.

But Megumi knew

This was a Domain Expansion created by a curse.

A powerful one.

In fact, it was the largest domain Megumi had ever seen.

This meant

Their enemy was far stronger than anything they had faced before.

Far stronger than any curse Megumi had encountered.

Unable to locate an entrance at first, Yuji and Nobara began to panic.

Fortunately, Megumi found a path forward.

And so

They moved deeper inside.
