Mahoraga stopped.
It didn't look back, but it felt something was wrong.
That feeling is a threat.
is a fatal threat.
It is a threat that I have never felt since it was summoned.
Even when it faced that 10,000-strong army, even when it faced Complete Tailed Beast Transformation's Five-Tails Kokuō, its roulette wheel only turned slowly, adapting to all attacks calmly.
But at this moment, that feeling made him very uncomfortable.
It slowly turned around and looked at the red figure standing in the distance.
Uchiha Shaoyu.
The person who summoned it, the person who initiated the taming ritual, the person who should have been its hunting target.
At this moment, he was raising his hand, his eyes were as calm as water, and there was a smile on his lips that made Mahoraga inexplicably uneasy.
Mahoraga's roulette wheel began to tremble crazily and made a harsh buzzing sound.
That is an instinctive warning, a sense of crisis engraved in the root of its existence. This human being is very dangerous.
Very dangerous. More dangerous than that 10,000-strong army, more dangerous than that Tailed Beast, and more dangerous than any enemy it has ever encountered.
He must be killed immediately.
Mahoraga moved.
Its speed was extremely fast, and its huge body turned into a black lightning, instantly spanning a distance of tens of feet, and appeared in front of Shaoyu.
The speed was so fast that the air was torn apart, making a sharp explosion. Wherever it stepped on the ground, rocks cracked and soil flew up, leaving a deep ravine.
His right fist was clenched tightly, with a force that could shatter mountains, and he hit Shaoyu's chest hard.
The power of that punch was enough to beat any ninja into a pulp, enough to blow Tailed Beast away, enough to leave a mark on this land that can never be erased.
However--
The fist stopped.
It stopped just short of Shaoyu's chest.
It's not that Mahoraga stopped, it's that it couldn't hit it. There seemed to be an invisible barrier there, an invisible but indestructible barrier that blocked its punch that could crack mountains and crack rocks.
The wind from the fist penetrated through, making Shaoyu's black hair and red clothes rustle, but the fist itself was like an insect solidified in amber, unable to move even an inch.
Mahoraga's body trembled faster, making a rapid buzzing sound, like an alarm.
It looked at the barrier, and for the first time a trace of human confusion appeared on its eyeless face.
It didn't understand what it was, and it didn't understand why its power, which could shatter everything, was blocked.
Shaoyu looked at it, the corners of his mouth raised slightly.
"Limitless." He said softly, his tone calm.
"Have you heard of it?"
Mahoraga Never heard of it.
But it can feel that this technique is very troublesome.
It takes time to analyze, it takes time to calculate, it takes time to crack the formula.
Those invisible barriers are actually the distance between Infinity that is close to zero but never reaches zero. They are the product that embodies the concept of "Infinity".
To crack it, you need to understand "Infinity", you need to adapt to "Infinity", and this takes time.
However--
It has no time.
Because strange lights began to appear around Shaoyu.
Blue light condensed above his right hand. It was a twisted sphere, like a miniature black hole, slowly rotating.
It emits a strange blue light, and the surrounding space is collapsing toward it. Light is attracted to it, dust is swallowed by it, and even the air makes a hissing sound of being torn apart.
Gravity, that is pure gravity, is the product of the realization of the concept of "blue", and it is the ultimate power that can distort space.
And above his left hand, a ball as dark as ink slowly took shape.
The blackness is darker than the deepest night, and not even light can escape from its surface.
It is completely opposite to Cang. It does not attract, but repels, pushing everything around it outward.
The gravel on the ground was pushed away by it, the air was pushed out by it, and even Mahoraga's huge body felt a faint outward push.
Repulsion, that is pure repulsion, is the product of the realization of the concept of "H", and it is the ultimate power that can push away everything.
"Cang" and "He".
The ultimate in gravity and the ultimate in repulsion.
They rotate slowly on both sides of Shaoyu's body, like two stars moving in orbit, not interfering with each other, but faintly echoing.
The picture was breathtakingly beautiful, but also terrifying.
Because any knowledgeable person knows that if these two forces are combined, what terrible results will be produced.
Mahoraga's fist hit faster, so fast that the traces of rotation could hardly be seen, leaving only a blurry afterimage and a harsh buzzing sound.
If you give it time, it can completely analyze the essence of these two forces, calculate their laws, and finally adapt to them completely.
By then, neither Cang nor He will be effective against it.
But it also knows that if these two techniques are combined -
That will be a brand new existence.
An existence it has never seen and cannot predict.
An existence that it may not even be able to adapt to.
Must be stopped.
It must be stopped immediately.
Mahoraga punched again, this time with continuous attacks.
One punch, two punches, three punches, ten punches, a hundred punches - each punch contains enough power to crush Tailed Beast, and each punch hits the same position accurately.
The speed was too fast to be captured by the naked eye, leaving only a shadow of fists and a deafening explosion.
The fist collided with Limitless's barrier, erupting with dazzling sparks and a loud noise. The sound was like thousands of thunders exploding in the ears at the same time.
It felt it, felt the limit of that barrier. The distance Infinity was close to zero was being compressed by it punch by punch.
As long as you give it a little more time and throw dozens more punches, it will be able to calculate the weakness of this spell, break this barrier, and crush this human being with one punch!
Mahoraga's arms turned into two black afterimages. Hundreds of punches were fired every second, and each punch hit the increasingly fragile barrier.
The speed was so fast that the air was ignited, and Kakko began to appear on the fist. It was the high temperature generated by the friction with the air, which was enough to melt steel.
However--
The time has come.
Shaoyu looked at it and smiled.
"As expected of you, Mahoraga."
His hands slowly closed.
Cang and He were between his palms and began to get closer.
At that moment, the color of heaven and earth changed.
Blue and black, gravity and repulsion, two extreme forces began to come into contact.
They do not fuse or mix, but bite each other, devour each other, and entangle each other.
Cang wanted to devour He, and He wanted to repel Cang. The two forces started a desperate struggle between the palms of Shaoyu, making a silent roar.
The surrounding space began to distort.
