Sage Art: Rasenshuriken roared and flew towards Artificial Tailed Beast, but at the moment when it was about to hit, the entire space suddenly distorted.
It was not a visual distortion, but a substantial spatial oscillation caused by the resonance of sound waves. The energy structure of Wind Style: Rasenshuriken was torn apart by invisible forces, and it collapsed in mid-air into Light Spot before it even touched the target.
"What?" Naruto's eyes widened.
"It's a sonic attack." Yuki-onna calmly analyzed, "Someone is interfering with our ninjutsu."
On the observation platform at the top of the hall, Muon slowly stood up. He took off his sonic amplifier, revealing the lower half of his face covered with metal pipes.
"Welcome to my domain." Muon opened his arms, "In Hozuki Castle, all sounds, all vibrations, and all fluctuations are under my control."
As the words fell, the entire fortress began to Resonance. Walls, floors, ceilings, and all building structures were vibrating at the same frequency.
Numerous cracks appeared on the surface of Sasuke and Susanoo - not caused by attacks, but the structure itself was disintegrated by resonance.
"Damn it." Sasuke gritted his teeth to maintain Susanoo's form.
Muon chuckled and jumped down from the observation platform. As soon as his feet touched the ground, the entire floor of the hall lit up with dense circuit patterns.
"Hozuki Castle is not a prison, but a living organism." Muon pressed his hand on the ground, "And I am its brain."
The circuit lines flashed crazily, and a large amount of energy gathered from all directions. Muon's body began to expand, and metal pipelines emerged from under the skin and were connected to the surrounding walls and floors.
"Shadow Organization's 'God's Vessel' plan, you should have heard of it, right?" Muon's voice became deep, with an electronic sound echo.
Naruto put on a fighting stance vigilantly. "What's the plan?"
"Artificial Tailed Beast selects the most perfect container, and then Lord Shadow arrives in person to complete the final step of 'Artificial Six Paths'." Muon's body has expanded to three meters high, with eight mechanical tentacles extending from its back. "We Cyborg are all candidates. Whoever survives to the end will be qualified to become a god."
Sasuke said coldly, "Twisted idea."
"Twisted?" Muon laughed, "You mortals will never understand. When I felt that power for the first time, I understood - the era of ninjas is over. God is the future."
He suddenly raised his hand, and eight tentacles stabbed four people at the same time.
Yuki-onna With his hands Hand Seals, the ice wall rose from the ground. But the moment the tentacles pierced the ice wall, high-frequency vibrations were released, and the ice wall instantly turned into powder.
"Ice Release is ineffective against sound waves." Muon mocked.
Karin gritted his teeth and released the Chakra chain, entangled two of the tentacles. But as soon as the chain was tightened, it was broken by the resonance.
"The ninjutsu constructed by Chakra is a joke in front of sound waves."
Naruto didn't believe in evil, so he condensed Big Ball Rasengan and rushed forward. Muon didn't even dodge, he just opened his mouth.
"Silent Sonic Boom."
Invisible sound waves spread, and Rasengan collapsed directly in the hands of Naruto. The terrifying backlash caused Naruto to spit out a mouthful of blood and fly backwards.
"Naruto!" Sasuke wanted to catch him, but Muon's attacks followed.
Tentacles fell like raindrops, and Sasuke could only use Heavenly Hand Power to dodge continuously. But after each flash, Muon could accurately predict where he would land.
"Don't bother." Muon sneered, "Your Dojutsu needs to lock its sight on the target, but in my field, sound waves are faster than the speed of light. I can know where you are going to teleport 0.3 seconds in advance through the echo."
Sasuke's face was gloomy.
It is true that Heavenly Hand Power needs to see the target in order to replace it, but the propagation speed of sound waves makes his Dojutsu lose the opportunity.
Yuki-onna calmly observed the battlefield. Muon's ability is indeed difficult, but it is not unsolvable.
"Sasuke, cover me." She said in the conscious connection.
Sasuke understood, Susanoo's bows and arrows condensed and formed, and shot at Muon continuously.
Muon waved his tentacles disdainfully and shattered all the arrows. But he didn't notice that Yuki-onna had quietly approached the corner of the hall.
There is a particularly thick pipe there that connects the energy supply system of the entire fortress.
"Ice Release·Extreme cold seal."
Yuki-onna pressed his hand on the pipe, and ice crystals spread along the metal surface. The energy flowing in the pipe began to freeze, and the flow rate dropped sharply.
Muon's body stiffened. He felt that the energy he drew from the fortress was reduced by 30%.
"Found it?" He turned to Yuki-onna, with murderous intent flashing in his eyes, "Then I'll kill you first."
Eight tentacles pierced Yuki-onna at the same time. Sasuke wanted to use Heavenly Hand Power to rescue, but the distance was too far and it was too late.
At the critical moment, Naruto rushed out from the side, and Nine-Tails Chakra Cloak was fully deployed.
"Spiral Consecutive Spheres!"
He blocked the attacks of four tentacles, and the remaining four were frozen by Yuki-onna's Ice Release.
"Do you really think freezing the pipes will help?" Muon laughed wildly, "I have plenty of energy sources!"
His body expanded again, and the metal pipelines extended longer and were connected to more building structures. Not only the floors and walls, but also the Laser Cannon on the ceiling, the surrounding Culture Tank, and even the corpses of failed experimental subjects, all became his energy source.
"In this fortress, I am God."
Muon has entered the second form. His body has been completely metalized, and the tentacles on his back have increased to sixteen. Each tentacle has different organs at the end - some are eyes, some are mouths, and some are large mouths full of sharp teeth.
What's even more frightening is that various Chakras appear on the surface of his body - red Scorch Release, blue Storm Release, and yellow Explosion Release.
"Multiple Kekkei Genkai?" Karin was shocked.
"This is the power of technology." Muon The organs at the end of each tentacle launched attacks at the same time, "What can you do to win against me?"
Scorch Release's high temperature, Storm Release's lightning, Explosion Release's shock wave, more than a dozen attacks came at the same time.
Sasuke and Susanoo defended with all their strength, but they could not withstand such a dense bombing. The purple energy body was full of cracks and might collapse at any time.
Naruto's Sage Mode could hardly hold on anymore. Muon's attack frequency was so high that he didn't even have a chance to breathe.
Yuki-onna gritted her teeth and continued to freeze the pipe, but Muon had too many energy sources, and she simply couldn't seal it off by herself.
"This can't go on like this." Sasuke said in the consciousness connection, "His core must be found."
"Core?" Naruto gasped.
"He said that he is the brain of Hozuki Castle, so there must be a central Node that connects all systems." Rinnegan of Sasuke searched desperately, "As long as that Node is destroyed, he will lose his energy supply."
Yuki-onna nodded. "I'll attract his attention, you go find him."
"Too dangerous."
"No time to hesitate." After Yuki-onna said that, he rushed towards Muon, and Ice Release exploded with all his strength.
"Ice Release·Thousand Flying Water Needles of Death!"
