The instant those words left Madara Uchiha's mouth and echoed above the battlefield ravaged by Wood-Fire Purgatory-
Time seemed to freeze.
Bzzzz-!!!
First came the sound. A terrifying hum that seemed to come from the end of the world, making even the soul resonate with it.
It thundered down from above, from beyond the sky!
The sound was not shrill, but it carried a crushing weight that could grind everything to dust.
Then came the light.
The sky within the barrier, which had been bathed in crimson, suddenly darkened!
It was not obscured by clouds. Rather, an unimaginably massive object was falling from the farthest reaches of the heavens at a terrifying speed that defied all common sense.
Its immense bulk had even begun to block out the light from outside!
Finally, there was its presence.
Sukuna jerked his head up, his pupils instantly shrinking to pinpoints!
He saw it-
Above the dome, in what should have been an empty sky, a sphere of unimaginable size was tearing through the atmosphere.
Bearing the momentum to destroy everything, it hurtled down toward the battlefield below, toward the area where he stood!
Its diameter... probably exceeded a hundred meters!
No, perhaps it was even larger!
Before it, even that towering Susanoo from earlier looked like a child's toy!
The Wood-Fire Purgatory that had covered nearly half the battlefield seemed as insignificant as a campfire!
"What!?"
For the first time, Sukuna's voice lost every trace of composure, leaving only incredulous horror!
"What is this!?"
A meteor!? Summoning a meteor!?
Was this some kind of joke!?
This was completely beyond the scope of Jujutsu!
This was power on the level of "divine punishment"!
*Even a thousand years ago, he had never heard of any Jujutsu Sorcerer who could summon a falling star of this
