---Chapter---
However, unbeknownst to any of them, each of their actions was under the observant gaze of Lorien, who had never genuinely departed.
As after vanishing, he had merely concealed himself and surveyed their exchanges from beginning to end.
Perched mid-air at a reasonable distance, Lorien chewed on the popcorn in his hands while reveling in the amusing play unfolding below.
'Tsk, Tsk, Tsk, it seems that Gojo really doesn't like those higher-ups at all, however, if they annoy me, I don't mind getting rid of them, Kenjaku was going to do so anyways.'
Momentarily contemplating this, Lorien subsequently directed his thoughts toward Gojo's earlier response when he talked about his own defeat.
'He is very self-confident, Is this what they call enlightened in this world? It is more like being absolutely self-centered.'
'This holds true for both him and Sukuna.'
'Speaking of which, this was also evident during our earlier battle as even upon discovering my power and in spite of his loss, not once did I notice his spirit falter or his will weaken.'
'Indeed, quite the remarkable individual.'
Smiling lightly, Lorien scratched his shin as he thought.
'Following my suggestion, he should seek out a means to master open domains and potentially create a hybrid version; After all, his pride will never permit him to remain weak, especially since I informed him that his journey is far from over.'
'With his talent, it shouldn't take long, this way, I'll have another open domain to analyze.'
'Hhahhaha, A new sample! Yeeeey!'
In truth, this was the primary motivation behind Lorien's revelation to Gojo, it was mainly to push him forward ensuring there would be something novel to analyze in their next encounter.
Moreover, Lorien wanted to strengthen Gojo's power somewhat as he was genuinely dissatisfied with the original timeline's outcome.
'Too gloomy for my taste, I prefer good endings.'
Shaking his head, Lorien forcefully dismissed these thoughts paying them no further attention.
'Hey, are they leaving so soon? and here I was enjoying myself!'
Watching the sorcerers below walk away, Lorien frowned lightly as he knew that the fun was over.
So, seeing that his business was concluded and that he had nothing more to do here, Lorien waited for a while until the sorcerers completely faded from his line of sight before disappearing from his position with a swift teleportation.
*Swish*
Materializing suddenly before an immense, ancient edifice, Lorien gazed at his own hand, lost in deep thought.
'So this is what space teleportation feels like, tsk, tsk, I really like it.'
Contemplating the feeling of teleportation through space, a small smirk formed on Lorien's lips as he relished the experience.
Indeed, after analyzing Gojo's ability, Lorien can now affect space, moreover, it doesn't cost him that much which is also the reason why Lorien bothered analyzing it in the first place.
Having analyzed Gojo's ability, Lorien now possessed the power to manipulate space, and at a surprisingly low cost.
This was, in fact, the very reason he chose to study Gojo's ability in the first place.
After all, he knew there was a significant distinction between forcefully warping something he knew little about versus something he had an in-depth understanding of.
Furthermore, Lorien's mastery and application of space extend far beyond simple teleportation.
Right now, Lorien can virtually bend space to his will as he used his analysis of Gojo's ability as a stepping stone to study the concept of 'space' itself.
Tightly clenching his fist, Lorien experienced a surge of elation and satisfaction.
'Thankfully I invested time in this, otherwise, analyzing space to such an extent on my own would have required a tremendous amount of time and energy.'
'This is the difference between generating knowledge from scratch and having a ready-made book to consult.'
Thinking about this, Lorien couldn't help but feel anticipation for the imminent launch of the 'Dream Path.'
Even if it ultimately proves unhelpful to him, the sheer volume of 'knowledge' and 'abilities' he would automatically acquire as the 'Owner' of this 'Path' would elevate his reality-warping capabilities to unparalleled heights.
'Hhahhaha, I really can't wait!'
With this thought in mind, Lorien turned his attention toward the ancient structure before him, his eyes narrowing slightly.
'So this is the Tombs of the Star huh.'
With his Golden eyes gleaming with a mysterious and dreadful power, Lorien's gaze seemed to penetrate the barrier, utterly disregarding the space and time distortions, and focused on a figure concealed within one of the hidden chambers.
'Is this Tengen? She truly resembles a thumb...'
Shaking his head, Lorien felt a bit of hesitation as he didn't know if his choice was correct or not.
--
'Should I get in and forcefully get information out of her?'
'Should I talk to her?'
'Or should I just leave this place.'
Feeling conflicted, Lorien knew that his choice at this moment could very well change everything, after all, should he kill Tengen, the barriers surrounding Japan would vanish, and who knows what chaos would ensue as a consequence.
'Tsk, I really hate choices like this.'
However, just as Lorien was about to 'cheat' and use his clairvoyance to select the most favorable outcome for himself, his phone rang once more.
*Ring*
*Ring*
*Ring*
Recognizing this distinctive ringtone, Lorien instantly deduced the caller's identity.
'It's Yuki, this is very unusual, why is she calling again...'
Sensing that something was amiss, Lorien promptly answered.
"Sup Yuki!"
"Did you finish your work there?" Yuki inquired, her voice filled with urgency.
"Yes, aren't you going to ask me how it went?"
"Ah yes! Are you alright?"
"Everything went well."
"Good then, tell me about the details later there is something important I must report!"
"What is it?" Lorien asked, feeling somewhat baffled.
"I caught him!"
"Huh?!"
Confused, figurative question marks appeared atop Lorien's head as he didn't know what she was talking about.
And noticing this confusion from across the phone, Yuki elaborated further.
"Mahito, the cursed spirit whose technique affects the soul, I caught it!"
"WHAT!!"
Unable to contain his astonishment, Lorien involuntarily exclaimed, his shock swiftly replaced by joy and elation as he replied hurriedly.
"Where are you?"
"At your house!"
"Alright, I'll be there as soon as possible!"
Uttering these words, Lorien didn't hesitate any longer as he hung up the phone and vanished once more using the power of space.
As for Tengen and the Tomb of the Star? he didn't care about that anymore!
