Rumble!!!
As a dark bolt of the Thunderbolt ripped through the polar night sky, the vast central plaza of the Silbern was instantly subjected to a terrifying pressure so heavy it made the very fabric of space groan.
Ice shards flew everywhere, and the wind howled.
Wandenreich, the supreme ruler of the Yhwach and the progenitor of the Quincy, crashed down without warning, like a world-destroying king stepping out of ancient mythology, right in front of Tobirama Uchiha. The wide, jet-black cloak behind him fluttered wildly in the raging air, and the solid ice layer beneath his feet, formed from extremely cold Reishi, was spreading outwards from him with terrifying, spiderweb-like cracks.
"His Majesty..."
Bambietta, who was being held in Tobirama Uchiha and whose face was still flushed, trembled violently when she felt that familiar, despairing pressure. A trace of extreme horror flashed instinctively in her dark red eyes, an absolute fear of the progenitor that was engraved deep in the genes of all Quincy.
However, after trembling for only half a second, the former Sternritter, like a kitten seeking refuge, buried her face even more deeply into Tobirama's dark gold robe, as if as long as she was close to this man, she would have no fear, even in the face of the "god" who created her.
The other three female members— Candice, Meninas, and Liltotto —showed no intention of returning to their former master. Instead, they obediently huddled at Tobirama's feet, demonstrating their complete allegiance to him.
"A bunch of traitors who disgust me."
Yhwach's weathered, double pupils swept coldly over the four women on the ground, his gaze devoid of anger, only displaying an extreme coldness akin to looking at inanimate objects. Then, his gaze, like a drawn blade, locked onto Tobirama Uchiha, who was leaning against the ruins of the throne, one hand in his pocket.
"Silver-haired madman, I must admit, you do possess the brute force to overturn this world. To be able to so quickly and ruthlessly trample on my elite troops like playthings, your existence has seriously interfered with my grand plan to reshape the Three Realms."
Yhwach's voice, like a muffled rumble of thunder, echoed across the empty Ice Square.
Faced with this condescending act of charity and judgment, Tobirama Uchiha didn't even bother to lift an eyelid. He casually picked up a grape that a maid had peeled, tossed it into his mouth, chewed it a couple of times, and then glanced ahead with an extremely contemptuous look.
"Are you done talking, you bearded rat?"
Tobirama's voice carried an arrogance that bordered on languor. "I thought you bunch of gutter rats hiding in the shadows might come up with something new. Turns out, after I beat the young ones, the old ones jumped out. What, you think I didn't kill enough, so you came here to deliver your heads?"
"Presumptuous!!!"
Following Yhwach, the highest -High-Order knight commander Jugram Haschwalth roared angrily, his hand already on the hilt of his sword.
But Yhwach raised his hand with extreme force, stopping his subordinate's impulsiveness. A cruel, confident smirk slowly crept onto his face, which was covered by a thick black beard.
"Ignorant fool. Do you think you can do whatever you want in this world just because you have superhuman Strength of a Hundred?"
Yhwach slowly pulled out a silver disc that gleamed with a cold metallic luster from inside his black military uniform. In the center of the disc was engraved the five-pointed star and cross emblem representing the Wandenreich.
This is the ultimate cheat code [ Star Medal ], created by the Quincy with the collective wisdom of their entire race to completely subdue the Death God!
"I have seen through your fighting style. Your beast-like destructive power, and those strange flames and the Thunderbolt, are nothing more than some extremely large unknown energy system."
Yhwach arrogantly raised the Star Medal in his hand, pointing the Tobirama Uchiha in front of him.
"This Star Medal can even forcibly Deprivation the Bankai of the Gotei 13 Captain-Commander, whose power is enough to incinerate the heavens and boil the seas. No matter how strong your power is, it is ultimately just a manifestation of energy!"
"Now, before me, you will lose your prized lackeys and become nothing more than a useless piece of trash, unable to even kill a chicken!"
" Deprivation!!!"
boom!
With a roar from Yhwach, the previously quiet Star Medal suddenly burst forth with an extremely dazzling blue-white light!
A massive black vortex of Reishi suddenly formed in front of the disc. This vortex seemed to connect to an absolute void black hole, releasing an extremely savage and greedy force of absorption, directly locking onto the energy source within Tobirama's body!
The suction force was so strong that it even forcibly tore apart the huge blocks of ice on the surrounding ruins, sucking them in and turning them into dust.
The villains are attempting to subdue a World Master who controls a multidimensional universe using weapons based on the rules of Death God!
"Oh? You want to absorb my power?"
Feeling the strange pulling force enveloping him, Tobirama Uchiha was slightly taken aback at first, and then a wild and unrestrained laugh filled with endless mockery burst forth from his chest!
"Hahahaha... Hahahaha!!!"
Tobirama's laughter shook the surrounding air violently. He didn't even make any defensive gesture; instead, he cooperated perfectly by opening his arms forward.
"Very well! Since you, a frog in a well, are so eager for my power, then I will take pity on you today and grant you a meal!"
"As long as your piece of junk can hold it, you may take all of my power!"
The moment he finished speaking, a dangerously savage glint flashed in Tobirama's eyes.
Instead of resisting, he took the initiative and made a very deliberate effort to slightly tear open a crack in his Perfect Sage Body —a crack that was almost invisible to the naked eye and a million times finer than a hair—using the pull of the " Ten-Tails' Primordial Chakra " and Sage Arts that were tightly locked by the Perfect Sage Body.
It's just this tiny bit of leaked energy residue!
"Buzz----!!!!!"
The Star Medal, which was greedily absorbing energy, began to emit an extremely piercing and mournful cry uncontrollably within the first Planck time of contact with this high-dimensional energy!
What happened?!
Yhwach's face, which had been wearing a cold smile, instantly froze. He felt with utter horror that what was surging in through the Star Medal was not a Spiritual Pressure that could be analyzed or tamed at all!
That was an ultimate divine power—power that was extremely heavy, extremely ancient, and so violent that it could completely crush the underlying logic of the entire Death God Universe!
This is like a tiny ant opening its mouth and trying to swallow an entire star that is undergoing a supernova explosion!
"Click, click, click... Crack!!!"
Under Yhwach's suddenly narrowed pupils, the invincible Star Medal, which embodied the highest technology of the Wandenreich and was said to be able to plunder all the power in the world, suddenly developed dense and shocking crimson cracks on its surface in less than half a second, despite its otherwise indestructible special metal surface!
That wisp of energy, a mixture of the Ten-Tails and Senjutsu, was of such a high level and such a large quantity that the rules of this world simply could not contain it!
"Oh no! Your Majesty, throw it away immediately!!!"
Jugram Haschwalth, standing nearby, was the first to notice the impending cataclysmic energy surge. His ever-elegant face finally revealed utter horror as he roared in terror.
However, it was too late.
"Bang!!!!!!!!"
A terrifyingly loud bang, loud enough to make a deaf person's eardrums bleed again!
The Star Medal, infused with a power billions of times greater than its capacity, was directly, decisively, and thoroughly blasted into a cloud of powder finer than dust right before the eyes of the Quincy progenitor!
The violent backlash energy detonated like a miniature nuclear bomb in Yhwach's hand!
"Hmm!"
Caught completely off guard, even a being as powerful as Yhwach was thrown back by the terrifying energy explosion! His massive body flew dozens of meters through the air, his feet carving two deep furrows in the hard ice, until he crashed into a huge ice pillar and barely managed to regain his footing.
A drop of charred blood dripped down from the web of his right hand, where the flesh had been torn and ripped apart by the blast.
His prized rule-based cheat not only failed to absorb any of the opponent's power, but also caused him to burst on the spot because he "ate too much"!
"How... is this possible..."
Yhwach stared intently at his blood-soaked right hand, then glanced at the Star Medal reduced to dust, his double pupils filled with unprecedented absurdity and disbelief.
This is a divine weapon that can perfectly contain even Genryusai Yamamoto's Zanka no Tachi!
What kind of indescribable, vast universe lies within that silver-haired man's body?!
"Oh dear, what a pity."
Across the plaza, Tobirama Uchiha stood unharmed, shaking his head in utter disappointment, a chillingly sarcastic smile playing on his lips.
"I only gave you a tiny fraction of the leftovers, and your broken bowl shattered."
"With such a small mind, you dare to dream of devouring the stars? You're not only a weakling, but also a country bumpkin who's never seen the world."
Utter humiliation! Unbridled mockery!
Hearing that piercing laughter and seeing the group of female knights who used to belong to him now looking up at the silver-haired man with adoration, Yhwach's anger finally erupted like a dormant volcano that had been dormant for millions of years!
As the "god" who created the Quincy, he had never suffered such a humiliation!
"Good... very good... arrogant outcast, you have successfully angered me."
Yhwach slowly straightened up, tearing off his tattered black cloak. His rugged face was now devoid of expression, replaced by an extreme, almost morbid, cold-blooded cruelty.
"Since conventional methods cannot reach your true nature."
"Then, I will have no choice but to use these eyes to skip the meaningless battle and directly bestow upon you the final result of 'death' on this timeline!"
Buzz!!!
As Yhwach's chilling words fell, an aura of despair ten or even a hundred times stronger than before erupted from his body!
In the center of his deep pupils, where there were originally only two pupils, an extremely frenzied expansion began! Three, four... countless compound eyes, like intricate gears, spun rapidly within his eye sockets, emitting a terrifying, eerie light capable of altering the causal laws of the entire universe!
[ The Almighty ], catalyzed by extreme anger, has unleashed its full power without reservation!
"In my eyes, the future is like countless grains of sand scattered in the desert."
The space around Yhwach began to distort eerily, and his voice seemed to come from countless parallel universes at the same time, with a chilling echo.
"I can not only see the trajectory of every single grain of sand."
"I can, moreover, freely select the grain of sand that I am most satisfied with from among these billions of grains of sand, and then..."
He slowly drew the Quincy sword from his waist; the broad blade was wreathed in extremely dense black Reishi.
"Forcibly dragged it to this point!"
Tobirama Uchiha Yhwach. In the frantically spinning vision of his compound eyes, countless future paths leading to Tobirama were flashing rapidly.
He saw Tobirama retaliating with the Thunderbolt in the future; he saw Tobirama dodging with Space-Time Ninjutsu in the future; he even saw Tobirama shattering the Silbern with a single punch in the future.
However, he ruthlessly erased and skipped all of these futures!
"Found it."
Yhwach's lips finally parted into a cruel and fanatical smile once more.
In the deepest part of his " The Almighty " vision, which had exhausted countless possibilities, he finally found an extremely faint branch of the future with a probability of zero!
In that future, Tobirama Uchiha, due to some extremely minor oversight, was incredibly lucky to have his chest pierced by the sword in his hand!
"This is the moment!"
"Cause and Effect Manipulation: The Ultimate Judgment!!!"
Yhwach did not rush towards Tobirama; he did not even unleash a single sword strike.
He simply stood several hundred meters away, his hands gripping the hilt of his sword, staring intently and forcefully at the empty air before him, devoid of even a speck of dust...
He thrust out a sword!!!
This sword strike lacked the power to cleave through space, and the light and shadow to tear apart the heavens.
This is a purely conceptual attack! It forcibly grafts and overlays the illusory "future being stabbed" onto the present "reality," bypassing the river of time!
No process is needed, only the ending is given!
This is the most unsolvable, most cheating, and ultimately fatal power-up in the original Death God manga!
At the very same instant that Yhwach thrust out that sword.
Tobirama Uchiha, who had been standing with one hand in his pocket and a mocking expression, suddenly narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Laugh!!!"
A piercing, chilling sound of flesh being torn apart suddenly rang out in the deathly silent square.
There was no collision of Spiritual Pressure, no contact between any weapons.
Under the horrified gazes of Bambietta and the other girl group members.
Without warning, a fatal, half-foot-long gash appeared out of nowhere on the chest of Tobirama Uchiha's dark gold robe!
Immediately afterwards!
On that Perfect Sage Body that was said to be indestructible and could even withstand the explosion of Star Medal, right in the center of the chest, where the heart was located!
Extremely bizarrely, a deep, bone-revealing slash appeared out of thin air, as if it had been forcibly pierced by some peerless sharp blade!
"Puff--!!!"
A streak of extremely bright red blood gushed out from the wound that appeared out of nowhere, scattering a tragic rain of blood in mid-air.
Tobirama's body swayed slightly, and his right hand, which had been in a lazy posture, finally came out of his pocket and covered his chest, which was bleeding profusely.
"Master... Master?!?"
Bambietta, Candice, and the other women were terrified, their faces turning pale, and they let out extremely sharp screams. They simply couldn't understand why, when the two sides were hundreds of meters apart and there was no trace of any attack, the seemingly invincible man, who appeared like a god, would suddenly suffer such a fatal blow?!
Hahahaha!!!
Seeing the splatter of blood, and seeing Tobirama finally clutch his Tobirama, Yhwach let out the most exhilarating and arrogant laugh of his life!
The long sword in his hand pointed far ahead, and his split, double pupils were filled with an arrogant and domineering air.
"Do you see it! This is my power! This is the Almighty that transcends all dimensions!"
No matter how strong your body is, no matter how fast you are, you can still travel faster than the speed of light.
"Before the absolute judgment of cause and effect, even gods must obediently bow to fate!"
Yhwach strode forward, as if he could already see this otherworldly Emperor-level lying at his feet.
"Your heart has been completely shattered by me in the future."
"Now, with your laughable arrogance, plunge into endless Hell!"
The strongest ability of the hanging wall is revealed: the fatal causal slash.
