Kokujōjigoku (黒縄地獄, Literally meaning: Black Thread Hell) weaves a tapestry of dread, etching its dark legacy upon the annals of fate and begs the eternal questioning of an inscrutable fate. Within the shadowed enclaves of the Jashin cult, and even within the sanctum of the Jashin Inner Sanctum, whispers abound—a symphony of terror reverberating through the ages. Chitose no Miko, her name a litany of dread wields this infernal power—an art both macabre and sublime. It allows Chitose no Miko to project Tartarean black threads. These threads, like malevolent veins, inscribe upon the target's very essence—their soul and corporeal vessel. These black threads are one of her unholy symbols. Thus, by her infernal edict, the target shall be severed (截, setsu) along those same black lines. The vessel, once whole, now bears the scars of maleficent artistry—a canvas of wretchedness and maiming. Their screams and beseech of mercy will become naught but a haunting melody yet familiar for Chitose no Miko.
Overview[]
As she holds dominion over the realm of Naraka and a mastery over the spirit, Chitose no Miko can extrapolate the metaphysical tortures of this realm and perfectly reproduce them into the material world. Her mastery over the spirit transcends mortal boundaries, allowing her to transmute metaphysical agonies into corporeal horrors. With hellish might, she beckons forth the Kokujōjigoku, a method of execution that transcends the mundane. Within her grasp, the very fabric of reality warps. The damning black lines, like spectral threads, emerge upon all targets within her chosen expanse. Whether a solitary soul or an entire village, they writhe in pain as those same lines sever their essence. It is an inaccessible tier of technique—a symphony of suffering orchestrated by her infernal edict.
Not merely flesh and blood suffer; even inanimate objects yield to the unseen blade. Weapons and mechanical constructs—all fall before the inexorable force that defies defense. This is no mere jutsu; it is karmic retribution jutsu (悪報術, akuhōjutsu). The damage inflicted mirrors the negative karma borne by the target souls. Healing becomes elusive, for their very spirits bear the scars. Even divine intervention cannot erase the lines etched upon their existence.
Defensively, Chitose no Miko weaves an invisible barrier. Those who cross its threshold find the black threads inscribed upon their souls. These threads, composed of negative karma and her own blood, allow her to traverse space. Wherever souls bear her mark, she appears—an avenging specter. And when a target succumbs to her technique, their fleeing soul remains tethered by her curse—a haunting echo of Kokujōjigoku. As the Kokujōjigoku weaves its malevolent threads, Chitose no Miko’s left eye undergoes a transformation. The once-pure sclera yields to the abyss, turning black—a reflection of the darkness she wields. Within that obsidian gaze lies the echo of countless tormented souls, their suffering etched upon her very being.
Nasake's Usage[]
Nasake, the revered Heavenly Lord of the Divine Flame, wields the formidable power of Chitose’s infernal edict, the Kokujōjigoku. When Nasake invokes this dark litany, he conjures spectral black threads that snake outwards with a mere flick of his wrist, binding to any object his gaze touches. These ethereal strands transcend the boundaries of distance, materializing upon the very essence of his desire. With a calculated second gesture, the threads sever their targets with a ghostly precision, executing his will as decreed. Moreover, Nasake’s mastery extends to the defensive realm, where he summons these hellish threads onto any intruding object that dares to breach his unseen barrier. This extraordinary ability is not merely functional; it is revered and celebrated in sacred song, a testament to the awe-inspiring power of the Lord who commands such fearsome art. While Nasake possesses the ability to focus on a limited number of targets at one time, the variation exhibited by Chitose no Miko knows no bounds, allowing her to encompass countless objects in her grasp.
