A heaven-shaking explosion rang out. The area where Seiya and the Ten-Tails had been standing was now completely reduced to scorched ruins.
Forget the White Zetsu that had surrounded them earlier—even several nearby hills had been flattened by the blast.
After Seiya forcibly stuffed the Tailed Beast Bomb into the Ten-Tails' body, it exploded on the spot.
But an explosion was just an explosion. The Ten-Tails, whose body was originally a mass of Chakra, did not die from it.
The flesh on its remaining half-body began to squirm rapidly, regenerating at an astonishing speed.
Less than half a minute later, the Ten-Tails, which had been blasted down to half its body, had not only fully regenerated, but had even evolved directly from its original second state into its third state.
Having entered its third state, the Ten-Tails had shed its previous emaciated appearance and had even learned to form hand seals.
As it pressed its hands together in a seal, grotesque Ten-Tails spawn continuously peeled off its body and swarmed toward Seiya.
"Fine, fine, fine. You can't win a one-on-one, so now you're calling your underlings for a group beating, huh?
But calling underlings isn't your exclusive privilege. You can split apart, and I can summon an army of the dead.
High-Tier Undead Summoning—Death Knight! Death Warrior! Jack the Ripper! Corpse Collector! Bone Dragon! Bone Wraith..."
Summoning circles appeared around Seiya one after another. As light flashed from them, equally bizarre death creatures rushed out and began slaughtering the Ten-Tails' spawn.
When it saw that its spawn could not gain the upper hand in battle, the Ten-Tails unwillingly used another ability.
"Heaven and Earth Transformed—!"
The Ten-Tails' strongest trump card used countless amounts of Chakra to interfere with natural energy, triggering earthquakes, lightning strikes, tornadoes, floods, and other natural disasters
