There was one thing Kaguya had miscalculated. Sasuke was exhausting every means he had to block her Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion, but only his defensive options—not his entire mind and body!
Knowing how sharp her combat instincts had become, how could Sasuke possibly let his guard down?
The surprise attack she thought would catch him unawares had not escaped his perception!
Whoosh! If he could not pinpoint where to open Yomotsu Hirasaka, then he would not bother! He only needed to open it behind him, regardless of where the other end led!
Simply diverting the attack through Yomotsu Hirasaka would resolve the crisis!
And so, an astonishing scene unfolded.
The All-Killing Ash Bone fired through Kaguya's Yomotsu Hirasaka shot into the Yomotsu Hirasaka opened behind Sasuke, disappearing into a corner of the vast starry sky!
"!?"
Crack! The Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion's blade of light sawed through the remaining six sword blades, cleaving apart the six tail palms that had been thrown in to make up the numbers as well.
"Thanks to you, something just clicked. I've finally figured out how to deal with that move of yours."
Sasuke raised his Rinnegan eyes.
Whoosh! Yomotsu Hirasaka opened lengthwise above his head!
"Yomotsu Hirasaka can create a 'fault' in space. No matter how powerful your Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion is, it can't shake space itself!"
"If an incoming attack can't pass straight through the 'door,' then Yomotsu Hirasaka can serve as a 'shield' made of space!"
Crack! The golden blade struck Yomotsu Hirasaka, and its immense length was severed in two!
The upper half slipped free of her control and scattered into golden light across the sky. The lower half cleaved down through Susanoo-Tails, but fell short of reaching Earth and swept past it...
"That was close..." Cold sweat broke out
