Mōryō Beneath the Complete Susanoo

The next day.

"Now that we've suppressed the Immortal Army, their leader is releasing Mōryō in the sealing shrine. The civilians here have already been evacuated, so you can strike without restraint."

Listening to Miroku, Uchiha Makoto looked toward the cave where the sealing shrine was located and asked, "Is it in there? Are there any powerful sealing techniques inside?"

Miroku shook her head. "No. Mōryō's subordinates have already destroyed all the outer seals."

Miroku looked at the pitch-black cave, then at Uchiha Makoto, and asked somewhat uneasily, "Mōryō must have quite a few subordinates inside. Are you sure you don't want to call your men over?"

Uchiha Makoto shook his head and headed deeper into the cave. "They have other missions, and we don't have time to make any preparations anyway."

Deep within the cave, the space before them suddenly opened up. The interior had sunken like a collapsed cavern, and countless soldier puppets stood in neat formations below, like an army waiting in full battle array for their arrival.

"Quite lively in here."

Uchiha Makoto loosely clenched his left hand, and a spherical object slowly appeared within it.

A heavy purple-black radiance flickered as invisible currents of air swirled around it, like a solemn black planet.

"Rasengan... no, I should call it the Spiral Rinnegan."

Uchiha Makoto murmured as he looked at the purple sphere in his hand. With a slight lift of his palm, he threw it out.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The entire underground palace shook without end.

By the time everything settled down, the Immortal Army had already vanished without a trace.

Miroku watched from the side with great interest. She could not help but wonder if this was also the power foretold by the prophecy that could quell Mōryō.

On the other side of the underground palace.

Several officers of the Immortal Army had been chatting and laughing.

But when they saw what had happened in the chamber, their laughter came to an abrupt stop.

"Genjutsu? When did it happen?"

One of the officers asked in a trembling voice.

No one answered. There was only the heart-pounding sound of Uchiha Makoto's footsteps steadily drawing closer.

Amid the ruins, Uchiha Makoto's face was shrouded in shadow. The tomoe in his eyes slowly spun, while his chilling chakra made every person present break out in goosebumps.

The officers exchanged glances, then drew their weapons and prepared to fight.

They were only the first line of defense.

The enemy had made such a huge commotion. Reinforcements had to be rushing over from behind by now. As long as they could hold off the attack until those reinforcements arrived, they could immediately retreat to the second line of defense. Then they would definitely survive!

Uchiha Makoto could not be bothered to waste words on them. He simply opened his Mangekyō Sharingan and glared.

The next moment, the officers fell under genjutsu and slit their own throats with their weapons.

Without even a scream, the officers returned to the Pure Land one after another.

Uchiha Makoto looked at the scene before him without the slightest ripple in his heart. He turned and walked toward the deeper part of the underground palace, where Mōryō was located.

Without hesitation, Uchiha Makoto directly activated Susanoo!

Massive blue-violet ribs instantly appeared around him, followed by a pair of Susanoo arms.

Rumble—!!

Though there were many stone pillars along the narrow passage, Susanoo smashed straight through them.

With Susanoo's power, even its initial form was not something mere stone pillars or walls could withstand.

First form, skeletal form!

Second form, muscular form!

Third form, Crow Tengu armor form!

Fourth form, full-body form!

Fifth form, complete Susanoo!

As Susanoo's form became complete, the towering giant, one hundred and fifty meters tall, shattered through the "ceiling" of the underground palace and descended upon the world in the most disdainful manner possible.

With every gesture, it could destroy mountains. A single step in place made the earth thunder.

As Susanoo unfolded, it was like a war god descending upon the world, radiating an awe-inspiring and overwhelming presence.

"So tiny!"

This was the first time he had used Susanoo at full power. Uchiha Makoto's face flushed uncontrollably as an irrepressible surge of excitement flooded through him like a raging tide.

At that moment, he truly felt the tremendous power churning within his body, as though the entire world lay beneath his feet!

Looking at the underground palace in the distance, he stomped down directly!

Boom—!

"Mōryō, come out and take your beating!"

From the split underground palace, a huge black figure rose from a pool of magma. Its entire body was shrouded in black mist, emanating a terrifying aura.

"Heh, where did this bastard come from? You actually dare come after me?"

Uchiha Makoto's sudden attack had long awakened Mōryō, who had been slumbering to recover its strength.

A pitch-black dragon head stretched out from the magma pit, though its cautious manner was hardly convincing.

"What is that thing?"

As Mōryō looked at the Susanoo before it, a trace of fear rose in its heart.

It had never seen such immense power. Even when facing the priestesses of past generations, it had never felt this way.

This was sheer enormity, an incomparable beauty of violence!

Yet Mōryō would not retreat so easily. It opened its fang-filled maw and spewed a torrent of black flames toward Susanoo.

"Heh! Despair!"

"This is the power of the Uchiha—the power of a god!"

Uchiha Makoto chuckled. At a thought, a round shield wreathed in blue-violet energy flames appeared in Susanoo's hand, while a blue-violet gourd appeared at its waist.

They were the two divine weapons: the Yata Mirror, said to block all attacks, and the Sword of Totsuka, which sealed everything.

The two divine weapons were not the dark crimson of the original work, but the same blue-violet as Uchiha Makoto's Susanoo.

Uchiha Makoto controlled Susanoo to raise the Yata Mirror, easily blocking the flames.

Then he raised the Susanoo tachi in its hand and swung it with all his might. A massive slash, carrying enormous wind pressure, swept through the air.

"This is the third power: Susanoo!"

As his words fell, heaven and earth changed color!

In the next instant, the entire underground palace, along with every stone pillar and wall before and behind it, was cleanly split in two. Crumbling boulders shot in every direction beneath the pressure.

The main hall of the underground palace, built from countless massive stones and directly struck by the slash, was reduced to nothingness before it.

In a single instant, everything was cleaved into dust!

All creation was reduced to ashes!

Yet even so, the slash's remaining force did not weaken in the slightest. Instead, it continued onward with fierce momentum toward the mountain ahead of Susanoo.

As the half-blue-violet blade light flashed past, the mountain, hundreds of meters tall, was forcibly cut diagonally into two halves.

Under the pull of gravity, the upper half of the mountain slowly slid off the lower half like butter sliced diagonally by a hot knife!

Everything within sight trembled beneath the impact of that power, like the roar of the earth itself.

Countless rocks and clouds of dust were shaken into the air, turning the sky into a hazy gray expanse.

Every living creature in the vicinity fled in terror, hoping to escape this world-ending calamity.

Meanwhile, Uchiha Makoto and Miroku floated within Susanoo's hexagonal crystal, looking down upon it all.

The power of that single slash was enough to rewrite the fate of an entire nation. It was also the gap in strength between Uchiha Makoto and the powerhouses of the various villages!

In less than two minutes, the legendary demon Mōryō of the Land of Demons, along with all its lackeys, had been left utterly unable to mount any effective resistance before the cheat-powered Uchiha Makoto—with just one slash.
