Meanwhile, just as Lorien was resting at the center of the battlefield next to Gojo's slowly recovering body, the world outside this broken combat zone was shaken to the core by what they had just witnessed.
Shock, awe, fear, and a slither of hope, these were the myriad conflicting emotions that all the people watching experienced together.
"Damn it!!! What was that??!"
"One attack! That's all it took!"
"THAT'S NOT THE ISSUE!! DO YOU REALISE HOW MUCH POWER IS REQUIRED TO CUT SPACE LIKE THAT???!!!!!"
"Wrong, the question was never HOW MUCH energy! it's WHAT TYPE of energy!"
"Hey guys! I think that you are going in the wrong direction, that's not important right now, what's important is to understand how to deal with that!!"
"Deal with a spatial cut? moreover, that attack felt like it contained much more than that."
"...Using science to deal with fantasy, not the greatest of ideas..."
"Hmph, if we are not able to scientifically analyze it, it just means that our knowledge of the subject is not profound enough."
However, just then as a bunch of nerds were debating on this subject, a stuttering voice suddenly sounded next to them thereby disrupting their conversation.
"Did-d you feel it?"
"Huh? Feel what?"
"The world was wailing after the attack, I felt it!"
"..."
"...W-What?"
"Where did you feel it?"
"Huh?"
Hearing this sudden unrelated question, the man instantly froze, a look full of confusion appearing on his face as he was unable to understand what the stranger next to him meant.
However, looking at the weird and lascivious look on the man's face, he quickly understood what he was referring to.
"...Fuck off!"
"Hahahaha!"
Of course, such weird interactions were actually in the minority as most people either kept silent or kept talking about how powerful the last attack was while feeling confused as to why Lorien saved his opponent after supposedly killing him.
Additionally, there was also another portion of people who were more interested in the battle between Yuta and Sukuna than the main battle itself.
These people only reacted briefly to Lorien and Gojo's battle before quickly turning their attention back to the other screen as they waited in anticipation for the battle to begin.
According to them, the reason for this is that the result of the battle between the two silver-haired men was predictable and without any suspense.
It's just that while all of this was quite interesting and helpful in understanding what the average person was thinking, it wasn't that important when compared to the reaction of the rulers of the different superpowers.
Compared to normal people who react to things emotionally and take sides, these leaders have completely different perspectives and stands on the subject as all they could think of while watching these events unfold was how they could gain something from it, exploit it, or defend themselves against possible attacks.
Moreover, as a consequence of the previous battle between Lorien and Gojo which effectively raised the danger level of 'sorcerers' to a brand new height, such fears became much more prevalent.
Previously, even though they gave a lot of attention to 'sorcerers' and deemed them as threats, they didn't actually think that they posed any real danger to their rule.
However, after witnessing the last battle and especially the last attack, they immediately understood how mistaken they were.
"Damn it! ARE THE SYSTEMS NOT BACK ONLINE YET?"
"Negative, we are unable to affect the broadcasting in any shape or form."
"Ughhh."
Feeling powerless, a long-lost sense of defeat filled the hearts of these leaders.
From a large superpower with innumerable weapons of mass destruction to a peaceful state unable to use any of them; It's been ages since they felt so 'naked'.
However, if it weren't for this, Japan would have most likely already ushered in a complete nuclear wipeout which was something Lorien had long expected.
So, with all things considered, now that these leaders didn't have any power in their hands, their opinions didn't matter much anymore.
'...'
Hence, turning our attention towards a more important group of people which were the remaining Jujutsu Sorcerers who had a more personal connection to the battle, we can easily see how their emotions transformed in sequence from shock, despair, anger, surprise, and finally relief.
Be it the adults who were holding their breaths in silence trying to remain calm or the students whose emotions were clearly drawn on their faces without any disguise, all of them fell to the ground following this intense battle.
"Hahahha! Thank god! Nothing happened!"
"I knew it! I knew that they wouldn't truly kill each other!"
"..."
"That was too close for comfort."
"These two are truly on completely different levels..."
"Now you react?"
"..."
However, of the students who were feeling relieved, the one who was the happiest was Maki who finally relaxed as the huge weight that was pressing on her heart making it hard for her to breathe finally fell down.
"Thankfully, that guy still maintained his reasoning, otherwise, things could have quickly gone south."
'...'
It's just that in the meantime, at the same time all these people were reacting to the results of the battle, someone was currently taking advantage of the situation to further improve himself.
"Hahahaahhaah!"
"So that's how it is!!!"
"So that's how it's done!!"
"Cutting space! No! That guy didn't just cut space, but even the world itself!!"
His four eyes shining brightly in excitement, Sukuna's full attention was focused on the torn-apart sky and more precisely the scar that had no end in sight.
"Huh? That power is similar to the one that he used on me to prevent me from healing!"
"So it can be used like this!"
"However, what's that power that's trying to remove the after-effects of the attack and heal it?"
Noticing the two forces clashing at the edge of the spatial cut, Sukuna couldn't make sense of it even with his more than a thousand years of experience.
"Well, I don't have to understand it for now."
"I should focus on that cut and analyze it before it disappears!"
"With it, I should be able to achieve the previously set objective and more!"
