Star Religious Group
Worshipping a biological necessity as divine ascension; they will burn the world to save it.
The Star Religious Group is a shadowy sect of non-sorcerers and low-tier sorcerers who have twisted the biological necessity of Tengen's evolution into a fanatical religious crusade. To them, the Star Plasma Vessel is not a sacrificial lamb but a divine conduit destined to merge with Master Tengen, ushering in an era of eternal life and transcendent peace. Operating from the fringes of modern Japan, they view the impending merger as a sacred ascension rather than a dangerous stabilization procedure.
Lacking the raw cursed energy of major clans, the Group compensates with sheer numbers, ruthless espionage, and the hiring of formidable outsiders. Their singular obsession: safeguarding the Vessel until the ritual can be completed at any cost. This fanaticism brings them into inevitable, bloody collision with Jujutsu High, whose sorcerers see the same event not as salvation, but as a catastrophic corruption that threatens to unravel reality.

Lore & Background
Born from a distorted reverence for Tengen's history, the Group misinterprets the curse energy stabilization process as a path to godhood. While history records that Tengen must merge with a Star Plasma Vessel every five hundred years to avoid losing their humanity and becoming a calamity, the cultists believe this fusion is the key to solving all human suffering. They see the Vessel not as a victim of circumstance, but as a chosen prophet guiding humanity toward evolution.
The organization functions like a rigid secret society, recruiting those desperate for purpose or power. Though they lack the innate cursed techniques of sorcerer clans, their fanaticism makes them terrifyingly effective in sabotage and subterfuge. Their defining moment came with the abduction of Riko Amanai, the identified Vessel, triggering a violent chain of events that exposed the Group's reach and forced Jujutsu High to deploy its elite: Gojo Satoru and Shoko Ieiri.
In Their Own Story
Rain lashed against the narrow alleyway, drowning out the cultist's ragged breath. In his hand, a phone screen glowed with a single, trembling message: 'She is safe.' Around him, shadows stretched unnaturally long—not from cursed spirits, but from the suffocating weight of anticipation. They had done it; Riko Amanai was beyond Jujutsu High's first line of defense. To these believers, she was no longer a frightened middle schooler, but a vessel of salvation, the key to unlocking eternity for their leader.
Yet, as the distant wail of sirens sliced through the night, the cultist felt a cold dread pierce his fervor. The Jujutsu sorcerers were coming. They moved with purpose, devoid of the holy vision that fueled these men, ready to dismantle a ritual they saw only as a tragedy in the making.
