Araki pointed a finger, and a powerful force of soul energy brutally invaded Nagato's sea of consciousness.
Although the Rinnegan also possessed soul-oriented abilities such as the Human Path, to the current Araki, the ocular power of a mere pair of Rinnegan could no longer pose any obstacle.
Thus, his soul entered Nagato's Consciousness Space almost without the slightest resistance.
There was another Nagato there, only compared with Araki's lifelike form, his figure looked somewhat illusory.
This was caused by insufficient soul power.
"You!"
Having been invaded in the deepest part of his heart, Nagato could no longer maintain his usual calm and indifference. But before he could react, Araki struck first.

Power born from the soul condensed in midair into six bright, glittering feathers of light, which mercilessly drove into Nagato's soul and completely sealed his movements.
Now, only his mouth could still barely move.

To suppress the ambitions and desires of schemers with absolute force, forcing them to accept peace.
From the perspective of ending an age of chaos, there was nothing wrong
