Natsume's overwhelming strength had far exceeded Elder Xiao Shi's expectations.
That berserk power, terrifying speed, and horrifying killing intent gave him the illusion that—
he was facing the Maha Clan's [Asura King] once again.
The same terror, the same helplessness.
If Elder Meishiki had not risked his life in that battle, he would likely have already died at the hands of that Maha Asura King.

At once, he commanded the army to deploy a [Large-Scale Composite Barrier].
Natsume was trapped inside the barrier.
Drawing upon the combined power of five hundred thousand pseudo-god troops and the Otsutsuki Clan's most advanced technology—
