Then-Fight
The void was silent; the words seemed to have been thrown into a stagnant abyss, even the distant starlight seemed to pause.
Otsutsuki Clan Kōshiki's eyes narrowed, and for the first time, a subtle crack appeared on his eternally indifferent face. It was the dignity of a proud god being pierced by the words of a mortal.
His left eye radiates a deep blue divine light, discerning the flow of cause and effect; his right eye is adorned with runes, like extinguished embers, profound and serene, yet concealing a control over the laws of the universe.
He didn't move an inch, yet remained silent as dead iron, approaching like a sharp blade. With one step, the space trembled slightly, black and gold runes appeared beneath his feet, the flow of Chakra clearly marked like an imprint, causing the heavens and earth to shake.
This is not a threat, but an overwhelming presence that needs no explanation.
"... Make me submit?"
He repeated the words of the night in a low voice, his voice like a roar from the abyss, yet as cold as an ancient ice field:
Do you know to whom you are speaking?
His tone was authoritative without being angry, as if he were the judge of the heavens:
"I am Otsutsuki Clan, and a member of the highest order."
"And you—you are merely a guardian of this inferior planet, a lowly bloodline struggling on the edge of chaos, yet you dare to speak of the word 'submission'?"
He approached step by step, his gaze like thunderbolts, his words as heavy as morning bells and evening drums:
"Your so-called resistance is nothing but a foolish attempt to alter fate—that is original sin."
He gently raised his right palm, and a wisp of starlight poured out from his palm, as if death had solidified, causing the laws of the void to tremble. Space began to collapse, the air seemed to be sucked out, and the atmosphere became extremely oppressive and stifling.
But Uchiha Clan remained unmoved, his expression cold, though a hint of impatience flashed in his eyes.
He looked at him like a noisy NPC, sighed softly, and a mocking smile appeared on his lips:
"Why are you saying so much? You've already registered, right?"
"Then... fight."
He looked up at the night, his gaze indifferent, as cold as someone reviewing a task list:
"What's your name? What's your rank? What's this about being a direct descendant or not? I have no interest in that."
He raised his right hand, clenched his fingers, and spoke with a tone as sharp as a cold blade severing divine chains:
"To me, you're just a target that [must be dealt with]."
--boom!!!
An invisible wave suddenly burst open, the void shattered like fragile porcelain, and the realm awakened in silence!
Xu Shi struck first, transforming into a streak of dark blue light that shot forth, rippling the space like water. The lightning patterns on his palm exploded, activating the Star Erosion Mark—
"Chakra, collapse."
With a clenched fist, a vortex forms, violently pulling everything apart like a collapsing star, even distorting starlight.
Instead of retreating, Ye advanced, bringing his two fingers together and pointing them directly at the core of the vortex.
"Untie."
As the two words fell, white light burst forth from his fingertips, like a sundial reversing. Layer upon layer of wheel-like imprints appeared in the void, freezing the gravitational vortex!
Space groaned, its collapsing force locked by "location".
"Your power is ineffective against me."
Xu Shi's pupils contracted sharply, his right foot stomped on the void, and his figure flashed above the night sky. With a fierce swing of his arm, a black and gold spiral cleaved through the sky!
"Dimensional Collapse Slash."
That's a technique capable of cutting through three dimensions, even shattering the spatial structure, with the strikes extending into the depths of time!
Ye looked up, his face expressionless. The Truth-Seeking Orb floated behind him, spinning on its own, facing the spiraling blade.
"Boom!!!"
The explosion shook the heavens, revealing a giant erosion circle that even caused the moon's gravity to tremble!
The Void Formation reappears, and a deep blue eyeball emerges in the palm of the hand, which is then tossed down!
"Elephant Extinction: The End of Observation."
The eyeballs split open, like giant pupils of the starry sky, overlooking everything in the night.
"I have observed your motives, your path, and your ultimate outcome."
Night's movements froze, her Chakra seemed to be locked, and her movements became as slow as if she were stuck in a quagmire.
"Die!"
With a furious roar, runes suddenly appeared behind him, and hundreds of massive hands extended from the void, with layers of divine and Buddhist power descending upon him!
Night suddenly brightened between his brows.
"Reincarnation - Tianquan Mode"
--boom!!!
Nine halos bloomed, transforming into a dimensional array, and the Jade of Truth-Seeking Orb condensed into a sword, soaring into the sky!
Every strike is a battle of laws, every collision is like stars colliding, piercing the sky!
The Void Style treads upon the void array patterns, its offensive like a storm; the Night Sword Intent severs the order of time, each step a killing blow, showing no sign of being at a disadvantage.
Finally, in a fleeting moment of intersection—
Night's figure suddenly vanished, and the next second, she was behind the ruins!
The Truth-Seeking Orb fell silently!
"Spell: Reversal of Time's Eye!"
The Void's right eye blazed, forcibly reversing the thirty-second timeline and reducing the damage to zero!
"You... are invincible?"
He roared, his eyes blazing with rage.
Ye sneered, his eyes devoid of emotion.
"Then let's give it a try."
High in the sky, starlight shattered, and silence reigned like death.
The timeline is retraced in a frenzied, chaotic manner, once, twice, dozens of times—
But he was shocked to discover that no matter which point he returned to, the night's attack was as precise as ever, as if his fate had been predetermined.
"Why?! Why is reverse lookup ineffective?!"
For the first time, fear appeared in his roar.
Standing silently in the void, the Rinne Sharingan slowly rotates, whispering like a divine revelation:
"You're going against the past."
"And I—am already standing in a future you have never reached."
Vibration-like pupil contraction:
"You... you are... the Lord of Dimensions?!"
Ye's right eye suddenly opened, and a jet-black light erupted like a chasm, devouring all laws, observations, and "existence" itself!
"Reincarnation - The River of the Dead"
A sudden, overwhelming fear gripped him—his "concept of existence" was being erased.
It was neither death nor sealing, but rather being "removed from the universe".
"Wait... wait!! I'm Otsutsuki Clan —I'm still—"
He opened his mouth, but no sound came out.
Consciousness disintegrates, and the spirit collapses.
His body fell like a silent corpse.
Night slowly descended, and with a gentle pull of his five fingers, the divine body gradually fell into his control.
Pocket Ninja World.
It is a closed dimension independent of the universe, created by Ye alone, who wrote the rules and ruled everything.
Deep within the dimensions, Ten-Tails dwell.
This Ten-Tails, which was originally from the Isshiki timeline, became even more powerful after consuming the Ten-Tails from the current timeline.
Uchiha Yoru also completely integrated this Ten-Tails into the Pocket Ninja World.
As the corpses fell in, the Ten-Tails raised its head and roared angrily!
The giant maw opened, Chakra roared forth like a tide.
The corpse falls, disintegrates in an instant—decomposes, analyzes, reconstructs, and transforms into the primordial nourishment that sustains the dimension.
The Ten-Tails creature undergoes a dramatic transformation, its skeleton is reorganized, and ancient cosmic patterns emerge from its shell, metamorphosing towards a higher dimension!
Night stood with his hands behind his back, overlooking everything, nine halos rotating and merging into one, resonating deep within his soul like a resounding bell:
"Barely qualified to feed this fledgling Ten-Tails."
"At least... nothing was wasted."
The Pocket Ninja World is undergoing a shockwave and expansion, a leap in dimensions, and a reshaping of the rules.
And night, too, is evolving in tandem.
He turned and stepped into the void, his figure gradually disappearing.
Behind them, the lunar surface slowly reconstructed, and spatial order was restored.
--The battle is over.
But for him, this was merely a footnote on the path to godhood.
