Five Elders, Perish Here and Now!
The Five Elders were methodically organizing intelligence and deploying coded defenses.
"... This matter must be reported to 'Lord Imu' immediately..."
--boom!!!
Before the words were even finished, the earth shook violently!
The entire "Room of Flowers" suddenly trembled, as if the spine of the world had been pierced by some alien force deep underground.
The bedrock of the Red Line groaned deeply, as if a giant beast were awakening!
Bang!!!
The table shattered, stone chips fell from the ceiling, and the ancient bell tolled, but no alarm sounded.
The air seemed to be compressed to its limit by a tightly wound rope, and the next second—
--Bang!!!
The wall exploded, and a destructive wind, like the end of the world, swept in, with the gale carrying Kakkō!
The Five Elders' expressions changed simultaneously, and they all stood up.
"What's going on?!"
In the Kakkō, a figure slowly walked over.
His cloak billowed without wind, his eyes were as deep as the Dead Sea, and his footsteps caused the earth to groan, as if the nerves of the entire world had been struck.
That was -- Uchiha Yoru.
He walked step by step into the temple, as if walking through the heart of a dying universe.
"What are you planning?"
His voice wasn't loud, but it was like a judgmental voice piercing the heavens, causing space to distort and reverberate.
The Five Elders' expressions changed drastically, and the one with long eyebrows raised his cane and shouted:
"Upgrade defense level to 'Genesis Level'! CP0, God's Knights, activate the highest defense line immediately!"
"Resist the invaders! Protect Lord Imu's core territory!"
Night continued its relentless march, its eyes slowly shifting, a pair of Rinne-Tenseigan emanating a faint aura of power.
In his palm, a gravity sphere, resembling the core of a collapsing universe, slowly rotated.
"You're wrong."
"It's not an invasion, it's a reckoning."
"It starts with you parasites hiding in the corpses of power."
--boom!!!
The palace shattered, and the statues hanging in mid-air lost their balance and fell from the ceiling. However, before they hit the ground, they were frozen and disintegrated by some invisible force, turning into countless dust particles that fell like cold snow.
The Five Elders stepped out, their five figures positioned in five directions, connecting the heavens and the earth. As their energies converged, the entire "Room of Flowers" seemed to transform into the core of a celestial body.
Spell: Five Pillars Barrier: Suppression Law
A five-pointed star-shaped metal array appeared in the sky, with concentric discs resembling astronomical instruments rotating in space.
The white-haired old man's eyes were like knives as he spoke in a low voice:
"Invaders, do you know what you're doing? This is a declaration of war against the World Government."
Uchiha Yoru did not respond, but slowly raised a finger.
"Declare war?"
He repeated it softly, his tone suggesting he was genuinely considering it.
The next second, his eyes turned cold, and he replied softly:
"After being the Celestial Dragons' lackeys for so long, even their barking reeks of decay!"
Boom!!!
The five locks crashed down from the top of the hall, but suddenly twisted midway, as if they were forcibly dismantled from the structural level by some imperceptible force.
The metal chains that had been sealing off the space disintegrated into particles the instant they were about to touch Uchiha Yoru, like an equation collapsing out of control, turning into ashes and scattering into the void.
The old man with long eyebrows frowned and said in a low voice:
"... It's not destruction, it's 'rewriting the material structure'!?"
Another middle-aged man in a suit narrowed his eyes, his tone cold and sharp:
"It's not a Devil Fruit ability, nor Haki... it even feels like a power system that doesn't belong to this world."
Without hesitation, the white-bearded man gave the order:
"Activate Zero Factor. The ultimate authority granted by Lord Imu —Unleash the full combat power of all personnel!"
Almost simultaneously, the five people pulled out the locks within their bodies, their spines shattered, their blood boiled, and their hidden fighting abilities were forcibly activated.
"Liberation - Divine Armament Core!"
--boom!!!
Behind them, different colossal phantoms emerged: a metal priest, a serpent dragon, an armed giant, the Eye of the Star Wheel, an ancient giant spine...
These are the ultimate means of punishment hidden by the World Government in the shadows of history—divine weaponry.
The true "core" that maintains the ruling order of the Red Line is not justice, but deterrence.
The white-bearded old man stared at Uchiha Yoru, his eyes as cold as ice.
"Whether you are a god or a demon—anyone who dares to interfere with the order of this world must be crushed."
Uchiha Yoru stood in the center of the shattered hall, silently looking down at everyone, his gaze as cold and indifferent as a desolate starry sky.
"Order?"
He let out a soft, cold laugh.
"So you've mistaken a corrupt hierarchy and false power for order."
He slowly raised his hand, his voice soft, yet as deep and resonant as a bell:
"Then let's start with you—cleanse."
--Reincarnation and Rebirth, the Amenotokotachi.
In an instant, the wind stopped, the sound ceased, and light and shadow froze.
The world seemed to have been put on pause; even attacks were impossible.
The long-browed old man's body trembled violently, and he roared sharply:
"He... isn't attacking us! He's stripping us of our sense of existence from reality!"
"This is interference from a hostile dimension!" another person exclaimed. "He's not here to fight, he's here to eradicate the very foundation of this world!"
The white-haired old man suddenly rose up, his whole body wrapped in surging blood energy. The metallic phantom god seemed like the hand of ancient gods, crashing down with thunder!
Uchiha Yoru remained unmoved, simply flicking his fingers together.
Smack
The illusory god statue instantly shattered, its main body's flesh, spirit, and phantom collapsing together, leaving not even a remnant.
The second person roared and howled, his blood seal burning, unleashing a heaven-slaying blade that pierced through the heavens and earth.
The Red Line has cracked open.
But that strike, under the gaze of the night, suddenly "paused".
--It wasn't that we were blocked, but that we lost the reason to "keep moving forward".
The third person suddenly roared, pulled out the broken key with Void Century inscription from his waist, and slammed it into the ground.
The ground beneath Mary Geoise trembled, and an ancient weapon-grade data beam shot into the sky, sealing off the heavens.
"This is the ultimate defense protocol authorized by Lord Imu —'Forbidden Zone: Zero Law'!"
However, Uchiha Yoru merely turned his head to look, flicking out a jet-black ray of light from his fingertip, as if piercing through the very heart of history.
The data beam shattered, collapsing along with the third person's heart and cognition, as if "their access had been removed from the world hierarchy."
A ray of pitch-black light slid from his fingertips, like the ink of judgment, across the void.
My heart is shattered, my consciousness is in turmoil, and even my belief in "existence" is disappearing.
The fourth person's face was contorted, and dense, blood-red runes appeared on his body. A drop of golden blood flowed from his forehead and dripped into the crystal core in his palm.
"Lord Imu... I swear by my blood, reclaim my divine punishment!"
Suddenly, his body began to swell.
However--
Uchiha Yoru approached slowly, uttering only a soft voice. "You're just a footnote, yet you dare to try and rewrite the main story?"
The giant's body twisted and collapsed instantly, even its soul source was stripped away and swallowed up, and it couldn't even finish struggling.
Only the old man with long eyebrows remained, kneeling on the ground, his lips pale and his jaw trembling.
"You... what exactly are you...?"
Uchiha Yoru stood before him, looking down at him as if he were looking at a piece of invalid data.
He replied in a low voice:
"I am the next page of this world."
Press down with your palm.
Bang--!!
The last of the Five Elders was pressed into the ground, as if he had been "dragged" out of reality, disappearing without a trace, without even having time to make a sound.
The main hall collapsed, the illusory god shattered, the divine throne crumbled, and the summit of the red earth sank into deathly silence.
Only Uchiha Yoru remained, standing amidst the cracks and ruins, his silhouette against the shattered sky.
The wind finally blew once again into this palace that should have been under the control of "gods".
The Five Elders, who had ruled with tyranny for eight hundred years, have now perished!
