"Before me, you don't even have the right to make the world feel pain!"
Gen'yō's cold yet absolutely confident voice, like a spell that pierces through time, clearly reached Nagato's ears, who was in a state of extreme excitement and weakness!
How could that be!
Nagato's eyes widened suddenly!
At the heart of the destructive power of Super Shinra Tensei, a power capable of tearing everything apart and annihilating everything, how could that man possibly still be making a sound!
Hallucination! It must be a hallucination!
However, the next second, when the destructive white halo dissipated, the scene that appeared before him plunged his already cold heart into an endless abyss!
The towering structure, forged from the strongest alloy and symbolizing his divine majesty, had its upper half completely razed to the ground by the aftershocks of the Super Shinra Tensei!
A fierce wind, mixed with icy rain, poured in through the huge hole.
In the heart of that desolate ruin, a rudimentary Susanoo frame, made of shimmering golden Chakra and resembling only ribs, stood silently.
Within the framework, Uchiha Haku, Itachi, Shisui, and Obito were all unharmed. Not even a single wrinkle appeared on their clothes!
The terrifying repulsive force, powerful enough to level the entire Amegakure, was easily diverted and neutralized when it touched the thin, seemingly fragile golden skeleton. It was as if it had struck an invisible, absolutely insurmountable dimensional wall, causing them not even the slightest harm!
"No, impossible!"
Deva Path Pain, suspended in mid-air, stared blankly at the scene. For the first time, a look of bewilderment appeared on Yahiko's face.
" Susanoo able to block the Super Shinra Tensei?"
"No... it wasn't Susanoo blocked it."
Gen'yō slowly emerged from the golden rib cage. The ruins beneath his feet automatically paved a path for him.
He raised his head and gazed at Deva Path Pain in mid-air with an all-seeing look, or rather, at the gaunt figure behind him.
"This is just to protect a few of my men and, incidentally, to put on a show."
Gen'yō reached out his hand. The golden Susanoo skeleton instantly turned into countless specks of light and vanished.
As for myself.
A cruel smile curled at the corner of his lips.
Even if you stand here and bombard me for a whole day and night, your Shinra Tensei won't touch me at all.
"Why!"
This problem wasn't just a maddening thought for Deva Path Pain, but also for Nagato himself!
He doesn't understand!
This completely contradicts his understanding of Chakra, Ninjutsu, and all power systems in this world!
"Still asking why? It seems your brain, like your body, has been completely hollowed out, Nagato."
Gen'yō shook his head, his face revealing undisguised disappointment.
"Alright. Since you're so eager to know, I'll mercifully tell you."
He slowly raised his right hand, his index finger Deva Path Pain.
"Your Shinra Tensei is essentially a repulsive field. It works by forcibly pushing away matter within your Chakra perception range."
"And my Kamui — the Creation."
In Gen'yō's eyes, the nine magnificent golden halos suddenly spun!
"What matters is the rule itself."
For example.
At Gen'yō's fingertip, a tiny, black singularity, almost imperceptible to the naked eye and smaller than a pinhead, quietly appeared.
"I can define Uchiha Gen'yō as an existence unaffected by the rule of repulsion."
"I can define it too."
His voice suddenly turned cold!
"The existence of Pain Deva Path's arm is illogical!"
The moment the words fell!
Deva Path Pain hadn't even reacted yet!
Swish!
His right arm, which had just unleashed Super Shinra Tensei and hadn't even had time to lower, vanished silently from the shoulder down, as if erased from a painting by the most skilled artist with an eraser!
No blood! No explosion! No wounds!
All that exists is absolute, irrational erasure at the conceptual level!
"Ah!"
Deva Path Pain lowered his head, looking at his empty right shoulder. His eternally unchanging, icy expression finally shattered completely!
And within the life support system, Nagato was struck as if by lightning!
He could clearly feel the Chakra link between himself and Deva Path Pain's right arm, along with that part of his body. It had been completely severed from the causal level by an incomprehensible and irresistible force from a higher dimension!
That was an experience more terrifying than death!
It means that existence itself has been denied!
Do you understand now?
Gen'yō lowered his finger, looking down at Deva Path Pain, whose body was stiff with extreme fear.
"Before a god who can change the rules, a false god like you, who can only manipulate power within the rules, is not even worthy of carrying their shoes."
"This, this is true divine magic!"
Nagato muttered to himself, utterly dejected. His Rinnegan, which he was so proud of, and the Six Paths Technique, which he regarded as divine power, were nothing but a laughable, childish toy in the face of the power displayed by the man before him!
He always believed he was a god chosen by fate to bring pain and peace to the world.
Only now did he sadly realize that he was nothing more than a fool who, like a frog in a well, tried to define the entire universe with the sky visible only from the well's opening!
"It seems you've grasped it a little."
Gen'yō nodded in satisfaction as he looked at Deva Path Pain's devastated expression.
"That concludes the warm-up exercises."
His eyes instantly turned icy cold, filled with undeniable killing intent.
"The game is over."
Gen'yō's voice wasn't loud, but it was like the Grim Reaper's verdict, exploding in the ears of every Pain.
He gave the final order to attack to the two figures behind him who were already itching for battle.
" Shisui! Itachi!"
It's time to clean up the trash.
"A swift and decisive victory!"
