"It's time to end this boring game."
Uchiha Gen'yō's voice, filled with languor and absolute authority, echoed slowly across the deathly silent battlefield like the final decree of the Creation god.
At this moment, time seemed to begin flowing again.
Everyone instinctively turned their gaze to the enormous holographic screen above the battlefield, broadcast by the " Divine Punishment " system.
On the light screen, the scene of the Moon Palace and the Divine Grace Hall was clearly presented to billions of people around the world.
The man sitting on the highest throne slowly lowered his hand that was supporting his chin.
He didn't even stand up; he merely glanced indifferently at the battlefield below with his golden, Kamui eyes, which burned with nine golden halos and were as deep as the universe.
Just that one glance!
The black flame slash, which was forcibly frozen in mid-air and powerful enough to sever cause and effect, was like glass thrown into a shredder.
"Click--click--"
With a sickening cracking sound, spiderweb-like cracks appeared on the black flames.
Immediately afterwards--
Bang!
A soft sound.
That ultimate slash, powerful enough to make any Kage Level expert despair, vanished into the air without warning, turning into countless black specks of light.
There was no explosion, no impact.
It was as if it had always been nothing but a hollow illusion.
The whole world was deathly silent.
On the ground, Orochimaru's pale face had completely lost all color.
He opened his mouth, making a "hoarse" sound in his throat, but couldn't utter a single complete syllable.
His brain—the one hailed as the most intelligent in the Shinobi World, a brain brimming with the pursuit of science and truth—completely shut down at that moment.
He couldn't understand.
He had absolutely no idea what had just happened.
That wasn't a seal, it wasn't absorption, and it wasn't Space-Time Ninjutsu.
That's a higher level of power, a power at the level of laws that he can't even comprehend!
"To directly erase 'existence' itself?"
"Is this... this is... the real 'God'?"
Orochimaru's legs buckled, and he collapsed uncontrollably to the ground.
For the first time, his golden snake eyes were devoid of any desire for research or any yearning for immortality; only a primal emotion called "awe" remained.
Shimura Danzō, standing beside him, was already terrified!
He looked at the man in the sky who didn't even bother to move, at his golden eyes that seemed to be looking down at dust, and an unprecedented, bone-chilling cold shot from his tailbone straight to the top of his head!
He finally understood.
He finally understood what kind of indescribable, terrifying being he was fighting against.
That wasn't a ninja, not a Kage, not even the Sage of Six Paths.
That is a true creator who transcends life and death, transcends time and space, transcends the entire dimension of the world!
"I--I was wrong--"
Danzo's lips trembled, and a foul-smelling liquid uncontrollably spread from his crotch.
His so-called " Will of Fire," which he had upheld his entire life, and his "resolve" to sacrifice everything for Konoha, were utterly crushed at this moment, leaving not even a trace of ashes.
However, Uchiha Gen'yō had absolutely no interest in appreciating the ugly behavior of these ants.
His patience had run out.
"A tortoise shell constructed using spatial powers?"
On his throne, Gen'yō looked down at the massive Six Red Yang Formation below, a sneer of utter contempt curving his lips.
"Playing with space in front of me?"
"That's like showing off your limited skills before an expert."
He slowly raised his eyelids, and his golden, Kamui eyes finally focused on the red barrier known as "absolute defense."
He did not Hand Seals.
He did not release any Chakra.
He didn't even move a finger.
He was just "watching" it.
The next second!
A miracle has occurred that has silenced the entire world!
Buzz--!!
The enormous Six Red Yang Formation, radiating an ominous blood-red light, caused the surrounding space to begin to twist, fold, and rotate violently in an extremely bizarre manner!
It felt like a flat canvas was grabbed tightly by an invisible hand and twisted into a pretzel!
The barrier was not attacked in any way.
However, the "space itself" that constitutes its existence is being forcibly rewritten!
"No--Don't--Barrier--The barrier is--"
Inside the barrier, For the first time, extreme terror was revealed in the empty eyes of Tobirama Senju, who was responsible for maintaining its operation!
He could feel the spatial coordinates between himself and the other three Hokage being forcibly stretched, distorted, and misaligned in a completely incomprehensible way!
The very foundation upon which the Six Red Yang Formation is being shattered at its core!
"Aaaaaah--!"
Outside the barrier, viewers around the world witnessed that unforgettable moment through the live broadcast.
The indestructible red cube, symbolizing "absolute defense," was like a toy model thrown into a black hole. In a silent, soul-chilling twist, it was forcibly torn open, creating a huge, constantly rotating Uzumaki gap leading to the unknown void!
It wasn't broken!
That's because a piece of the concept of "reality" was directly "carved out" by a higher-dimensional force!
boom--!!
The moment that gap appeared, the energy cycle of the entire Six Red Yang Formation was completely shattered!
The immense, world-destroying spatial energy caused a violent backlash!
Click! Click! Click!
Like shattered glass, countless massive cracks instantly spread from the Uzumaki- like opening to every corner of the entire barrier!
The next second!
Shattered with a deafening roar!
The ultimate barrier, supposedly the strongest in the Shinobi World, set up by four legendary Hokage, vanished like a fragile soap bubble in the wind with a mere glance from Uchiha Gen'yō.
Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff!
The four Impure World Reincarnation Hokage maintaining the barrier simultaneously shuddered upon being struck by the energy backlash!
Their bodies were covered with terrifying cracks like shattered ceramic, and large chunks of dust peeled off uncontrollably, revealing the hollow, collapsing shells inside.
One strike!
No, it wasn't even a single blow!
Just one glance!
This brought the four legendary Hokage, along with their strongest barrier, to the brink of death!
This is the power of God!
This was Uchiha Gen'yō's final and most disdainful judgment upon this old era!
The moment the barrier shattered, blinding sunlight once again shone upon the land that had long since turned into ruins.
A thousand Uchiha children stood there quietly, their innocent faces expressionless, yet their thousands of Three-Tomoe Sharingan, reflected the same emotion.
That was the most extreme and fanatical worship of their one and only God!
Separated from them by a wall were the remnants of the old era, who had utterly fallen into stagnation and despair.
Shimura Danzō lay sprawled on the ground, trembling violently, his eyes glazed over, repeatedly muttering the same sentence.
"Monster--Monster--"
Orochimaru wore a bitter and self-deprecating expression. He slowly raised his head and looked up at the sky, as if he wanted to forever imprint that godlike figure into the depths of his soul.
He knew he had lost.
They lost convincingly.
Just then, the ruthless Uchiha army, the embodiment of death, moved.
Uchiha Yōko slowly Earth Flow.
She bypassed the Impure World Reincarnation Hokage who had lost their fighting ability and walked straight up to Danzo, looking down at the completely broken old man.
Behind her were nearly a thousand companions, each wielding Kunai and their eyes flashing with cold killing intent.
"The cannons for the opening ceremony are ready."
Uchiha Yōko's voice was still clear and melodious, but to Danzo it sounded like a death knell from hell.
"So--"
Yōko slowly raised her small hand and aimed it at Danzo's head.
Who should light the first one?
" Shimura Danzō, do you have any last words?"
