But was this even possible?
Then, in the next instant, Terumi Mei showed Black Zetsu through her actions that this was not just possible—it was a fact!
Bang.
That was the sound of something being released.
In that moment, Obito's eyes widened, stunned by the scene before him.
Terumi Mei's soul had materialized into a physical form, stepping directly out of her own body. Without a moment's hesitation, she drew her Zanpakuto and, with a backhanded strike of incredible speed, slashed toward Black Zetsu, who was still possessing her physical form.
Judging by her gaze and stance, Terumi Mei seemed intent on cutting down Black Zetsu along with her own body.
And indeed, that was exactly what she intended to do.
Having become a Death God, her physical body no longer held any meaning for her.
To her, it was nothing more than a vessel for her soul, a mere Gigai.
Even if her physical body were destroyed, her soul would remain completely unaffected.
After all, right from the start, Uchiha Chiba had severed the connection between Terumi Mei's soul and her body.
If her body died, she would simply have to maintain her Death God form until she could find a suitable Gigai.
This would have no impact on her whatsoever.
Therefore, she swung her blade without a shred of hesitation.
Black Zetsu, however, was completely terrified.
What kind of joke is this?
What the hell is this woman?
Her soul actually walked out of her body?
Uchiha Chiba, what the hell did you do to this woman?
Black Zetsu instantly abandoned Terumi Mei's body. Seeing this, Terumi Mei let out a cold sneer.
"You actually left my body in an instant!"
"Your reaction speed is quite fast!"
"That's fine, it saves me from losing my physical body!"
