"Buzz—"
The Sage of Six Paths' mind went blank.
He had no idea why he had suddenly been sent flying by an immense force.
From his perspective, the dark hundred-meter blade light should have already pierced his body.
"Boom—!"
A violent explosion erupted in the distance.
A celestial body was instantly blown apart, shattered rocks and fragments scattering in every direction.
The explosion had been caused by the dark blade light, and at its epicenter was the Sage of Six Paths.
"Old man!"
"Child!"
Kanami and Kaguya spoke in unison.
The next instant, Kanami's eyes snapped open.
Kanami's consciousness returned.
"Whoosh!"
Having regained control of his body, Kanami shot toward the explosion at explosive speed.
That was where the Sage of Six Paths' soul body was!
That was right. Although the dark blade light had passed through Kanami's body and been avoided through Intangibility, the Ame-no-Tokotachi Sword did not merely slash physical bodies. It had also struck the Sage of Six Paths' soul.
Kanami's body could become intangible, but the Sage of Six Paths' soul body could not.
"Child!"
After arriving at the center of the explosion, Kaguya anxiously stepped directly out of Kanami's body.
She used the physical body Kanami had personally molded for her earlier.
Yet even after emerging, she could not detect the slightest trace of the Sage of Six Paths.
It was as though he had been blasted into ashes in that violent explosion, leaving nothing behind.
"How could this happen...?"
Kaguya's eyes trembled slightly.
The fact that she could still so clearly resent the Sage of Six Paths showed that she had never fully let go of the fact that he was her child.
If she had truly let go, she would not still resent him for being an unfilial son after a thousand years.
