Katsuyu Sage: My Lord, Spare Me!

A terrifying blue-purple flash erupted, instantly engulfing the massive body of the Katsuyu Sage.

"Ah!"

The Katsuyu Sage let out a painful shriek as her body began to split, attempting to use this method to evade the horrific strike. However, the moment her body showed signs of dividing, those smaller slugs were obliterated by the terrifying area-of-effect attack without even a moment's resistance.

Terrified, the Katsuyu Sage hurriedly ceased her division, frantically surging the senjutsu chakra within her to withstand the devastating blow.

Finally, when the light subsided, the once-colossal Katsuyu Sage had lost her entire upper body, leaving only a mangled lower half writhing in place.

Yet, even so, the Katsuyu Sage did not die. Her remaining torso writhed, and in the blink of an eye, she regenerated into the form of a slug, though her size was significantly smaller than before.

"Damn heretic, you actually didn't die?"

Dagon tilted his head at this sight. The next moment, he opened his mouth, and the chakra on his body surged once more, preparing to kill the Katsuyu Sage completely.

Dealing with a giant creature that possessed division abilities, massive size, and immunity to many attacks was simple: one only needed an attack with a wide range and immense lethality.

And as it happened, Dagon possessed exactly such a powerful attack.

The Katsuyu Sage watched Dagon, who was about to launch a new assault, with horror. In this moment, she understood what death truly was. It wasn't that she wasn't strong; she possessed an incredibly massive body, vitality that reached the extreme, the ability to use the Slug Great Division to become immune to most physical attacks, and the power to spew Tongue Tooth Acid—which was neither a physical nor a spiritual attack—capable of melting almost anything.

Beyond that, she possessed several powerful senjutsu, and as long as a single slug remained, she would not die.

The Katsuyu Sage was immensely powerful; after all, she was one of the Three Great Sage Regions. But Dagon was stronger.

This top-tier biological weapon, created using a massive amount of technology and ruthless methods, possessed formidable combat power even without chakra, relying solely on the various mechanical prosthetics installed on its body and its powerful physique.

She couldn't win! She absolutely couldn't win!

The Katsuyu Sage simply couldn't comprehend what kind of background Uchiha Brahman had to be able to create such a monster.

Judging by the name, he should be of the Uchiha clan, a descendant of the Sage of Six Paths separated by who knows how many generations. This was simply a monster!

The Katsuyu Sage had heard of the name Uchiha Brahman because, not long ago, a portion of her body had been summoned by Tsunade to heal Sarutobi Hiruzen and an Uchiha who had lost his legs.

She had a slight understanding of what was happening in the ninja world now, though not much.

But before this, the Katsuyu Sage had always felt that it had nothing to do with her. After all, no matter how the human world changed, for so many years, it had never concerned them in the Sage Regions. No matter the changes, it never affected them.

She was not Gamamaru; she had no interest in interfering with the human world.

Who would have thought...

Uchiha Brahman had set his sights on her. Originally, being targeted was one thing; in such long years, there had been others with the same thoughts as Uchiha Brahman.

But those people were all dead.

The Three Great Sage Regions were not soft persimmons.

But now...

Everything was over. Uchiha Brahman was different from everyone in the past. He possessed the capability and the terrifying power to destroy these so-called Sage Regions.

The Katsuyu Sage simply couldn't understand: what benefit was there in attacking their Sage Regions?

Hashirama Senju had been so powerful back then, pioneering the era of ninja villages, yet he had never thought of laying a hand on their Sage Regions.

In even more ancient times, neither the Sage of Six Paths nor his two sons had ever thought of attacking their Sage Regions.

In fact, the Sage of Six Paths had even maintained a good relationship with them.

What kind of madness had taken hold of this Uchiha Brahman? Was his mind not right to even think of attacking them?

However, no matter how much the Katsuyu Sage failed to understand, if she didn't do something now, she would truly die.

"My lord, I am willing to submit. I am willing to offer my loyalty to the great Lord Brahman!"

The Katsuyu Sage lowered her head—which was not at all proud—without hesitation, choosing to yield. As a slug, she lacked the so-called human self-esteem. Surrendering when unable to win was a very normal thing for the Katsuyu Sage.

Hearing the words of the Katsuyu Sage, the chakra swirling around Dagon gradually calmed down.

"Very good!"

Dagon looked at the Katsuyu Sage and then produced a syringe containing a Genetic Modification Serum specifically for slugs.

"Come, inject this. This is the Sacred Blessing Serum. Once used, you can become a believer of the great Brahman, the great Kind Father!"

Dagon flashed forward, appearing beside the slug, and plunged the serum in.

"Yes, my lord! Thank you, my lord, for sparing my life!"

The Katsuyu Sage nodded, not daring to move a muscle, allowing Dagon to inject the serum into her body.

The Sacred Blessing Serum came in different models. Uchiha Brahman had created exclusive genetic modification serums for almost every creature he could find on this planet.

The Sacred Blessing Serums for different creatures could not be mixed. For example, if the serum intended for a spider were used on a human, several changes might occur.

One: genetic collapse, where the person would turn directly into a puddle of mush. Another: survival, where the human genes and spider genes would fuse, turning the person into a half-human, half-spider monster. After the transformation, there would be a certain probability of gaining greater power, a certain probability of becoming weaker, or even contracting genetic diseases.

The final possibility was a perfect fusion with the spider genes, resulting in greater power.

Of these three possibilities, the first was the most likely to occur.

This was because the Sacred Blessing Serums Uchiha Brahman created were not intended for cross-species genetic fusion. Although he could do it, he found it troublesome and had not further refined these Sacred Blessing Serums.

"Dagon, you have done well!"

At this moment, the Shadow Clones of Uchiha Brahman, who had been conducting experimental observations, descended.

"Praise Brahman!"

Dagon immediately knelt down, offering praise to the great, supreme, transcendent, and benevolent Kind Father.

In Dagon's eyes, Uchiha Brahman was not a human, but the sun in the sky—warm, dazzling, and full of grace!

This was true grace!

On the other side, the battle at Mount Myoboku was also reaching its end.

"Croak! You lunatics!"

The limbs of the Great Toad Sage had been severed, his massive abdomen torn open, and countless small mice were swarming over his internal organs, gnawing away incessantly.

The old toad felt his life force slipping away rapidly; he was going to die.

However...
