Chapter 107: The roar of thunder
🕑 Added 2025-08-07 11:26:22 +0000 UTCThe elbow landed and Juggernaut's neck twisted, his feet tearing twin trenches in the broken earth as he skidded back hundreds of feet. The air cracked, then ruptured, a thunderclap chasing Gojo's lightning-coated form as he vanished into motion once again.
He became a streak of light, a streaming current of raw electricity, leaping across the battlefield in zigzagging patterns. Dozens of afterimages flared like arcs in a Tesla coil, lashing out through the air striking Cain at different angles over and over again leaving shockwaves in the background. With every movement, he painted the sky with streaks of pale blue, turning it a stormy grey, like lightning was bleeding into the clouds themselves.
The skies darkened.
Juggernaut roared, his body now 15 feet tall, his body expanding with raw power, veins glowing faintly beneath torn armor. Every step he took shattered the ground, craters forming from the sheer pressure of his movements. And then he did what he knows best. Destruction; he punched the ground infront of him and the Earth cracked in long, spiraling fissures. Forests were flattened. Hills crumbled. For miles, the landscape began to collapse under the war between speed and strength.
Sonic booms thundered with every pass. Gojo ricocheted around Juggernaut like a living storm, striking from impossible angles. But as he dove for another strike.
Time slowed.
His eyes widened as he felt the resistance. Like trying to swim through syrup. His motion dragged, the friction of space around Juggernaut bending unnaturally.
That's when Juggernaut caught him.
A massive, calloused hand closed around Gojo's wrist, stopping the streak of lightning cold.
"Got you," Juggernaut growled, his teeth stained with blood and grit.
Gojo's lips curled.
'Do you now?'
A pulse of energy surged from his skin electricity snapping violently, every bolt doubling, tripling in output. The sudden surge stunned Juggernaut, his arm spasming as if his own muscles betrayed him.
It wasn't enough to stop him though⦠but it was enough for Gojo twisted, slipped free, ducked low, and launched himself backward, clearing half a mile in seconds. He landed on a shattered ridge, crouching, crackling with lightning, breathing slow.
The skies rumbled above them and soon enough droplets came down as it started raining.
Across the distance, Juggernaut stood tall, steam rising from his shoulders. He grinned blood streaking his chin.
"You're dangerously fast boy," he said, voice so loud it made pebbles and the droplets vibrate.
"And you're also the first in a long time... to make me bleed."
Gojo said nothing. His expression didn't shift. Lightning danced across his arms and shoulders, the glow illuminating the rain-soaked battlefield.
He slowly brought his palms together, fingertips meeting.
Between his hands, a mass of lightning began to form.White-blue energy condensed into a spiraling shaft, humming with electric tension. As Gojo pulled his hands apart, a lance formed and stretched longer, sharper, brighter and the air around the entire region tensed.
Even the rain paused, droplets frozen mid-fall for half a breath.
Gojo stood, bent his knees slightly, and took aim. Juggernaut's red eyes glowed brighter. He opened his mouth, about to speakβ
And then he lost sight of Gojo.
Weightlessness.
His vision blurred, vertigo hitting like a wave. A flash of movement below. He looked down and saw the lance had already pierced his chestplate like hot knife through butter, dragging him upward and back at incredible speed, sparks flying as it carved into his armor. The force lifted his 15-foot frame as if it were weightless.
The Lance finally dug a single millimeter into his skin and immediately tiny electric pulses surged through his nervous system, firing off signals like stings.
Then he heard a voice from behind.
"You really should pay attention."
Another lance was in Gojo's hand. Then in a blink it was inches from Juggernaut's face.
His instincts flared he raised a massive hand just in time, catching the bolt, electricity arching around his fingers. And as he looked back, Gojo was no longer there.
A third lance struck his waist, while a Blue singularity exploded at his back, slowing and redirecting him. He was flung across the sky once more and this time toward the last remaining mountain range.
Rain now poured across the battlefield. Steam hissed from hot earth. Lightning flickered high above.
Juggernaut tried to steadied himself when he then heard another sound from above.
He looked up, and his expression shifted.
Gojo hovered in the sky, high above the clouds, a single hand raised to the heavens.
Above him, the storm churned in spiraling patterns with lightning streams being pulled into a single converging point. The skies howled, clouds parting around the vortex.
Juggernaut narrowed his eyes.
'What⦠the fuck is that?'
The streams of lightning twisted, merged, and took shape.
A colossal beast's head formed entirely of living electricity emerged from the storm. Its eyes opened, glowing like burning stars.
And then it roared.
The sound shattered the clouds and rolled across the landscape like a wall of thunder.
Far above, Gojo grinned, though his eyes were focused and calm.
Inside, he was screaming with excitement.
'I finally get to use this⦠coolest move I ever dreamed up as a kid.'
He lowered his hand, voice echoing downward, carried by the storm as he brought down his hand.
"Vanish with the roar of thunder..."
"KIRIN"
---
The beast descended.
Before Juggernaut could even think, the thunder-beast collided with him. A violent explosion of lightning, sound, and force detonated on impact. The mountain beside him vanished, disintegrated in an instant. The mountain behind it followed.
The air turned white, then black, then colorless for a moment, the explosion overwhelmed light itself.
Lightning crawled across the ground for miles. The surrounding valley was erased, vaporized by the energy discharge. The very atmosphere hissed, charged with so much current that a normal human within ten miles would've been cooked instantly.
Gojo remained above, his glowing form calmed as he released the built up charges in his body and was immediately hit with a wave of exhaustion. A golden glow surrounded him soon after and washed away his fatigue.
