"Stop!"
Black Zetsu was furious, cursing Onoki in his heart, wondering why no reliable person was sent here!
But unfortunately, it was too late. Deidara formed two clay birds and suddenly threw them.
Whoosh—!
The two small birds suddenly doubled their speed the moment they left his hands.
The flying beasts even made piercing sonic booms. In just a few seconds, they dived in front of the two people below.
Erii's eyes shifted. She grabbed Sasuke's shoulder, tapped her toes lightly, and vanished from where she stood.
At the same time, the two clay birds hit the ground and exploded instantly!
Boom!
The boiling shockwave rolled and spread out in all directions.
As the dust settled, Deidara frowned slightly and turned his head to look at the two.
His eyes revealed even greater interest.
"Not bad. Their speed is fast— even the fastest birds can't catch them. Then I'll use this move, hmm!"
The dragon circling in the sky suddenly lost part of its thick tail.
Then, its mouth gradually expanded, as if something was being stuffed inside.
The moment it opened its mouth, a fat bird-like beast, flapping its wings, shot toward the ground like a cannonball!
Boom!
This bird-beast was even faster than last time!
Amid the sharp sonic boom, a rolling shockwave dragged around the bird-beast, like a meteor streaking across the sky.
"Hahaha, this is my fastest ninjutsu, hmm!"
Deidara's face in the sky showed excitement.
"Let's see where you can run! Explode!"
"Too late!"
Sasuke's pupils suddenly shrank.
The bird-beast's speed was terrifying!
Without hesitation, Sasuke blocked in front of Erii, pulling her into her arms.
"Be careful!"
But Erii pushed her away calmly.
Looking at the incoming bird-beast, she calmly stretched out her hand.
"Word Soul: Glazed Crystal Fortress!"
Boom!!!
A terrifying heatwave surged, and the shockwave swept through the cave ruins.
As far as the eye could see, dust rose high like a curtain, with great flames shooting up to the sky.
But in the next moment, what appeared surprised Deidara.
"What is that?!"
Around Erii and Sasuke stood a golden defensive barrier.
Complex characters floated along it, completely blocking the C2-level explosion, without even a speck of dust touching them!
Deidara stared at the golden flowing characters, as if the air had solidified into crystal-clear glaze, entranced.
"So beautiful… How can something so beautiful exist? This... this is true art!"
"Wake up! Hurry and wake up!"
Black Zetsu was nearly scared out of his mind.
This was because Eri once again stretched out her pure white, jade-like arm, her five slender fingers seeming to grasp at them out of thin air.
Black Zetsu could clearly feel the air around them being squeezed tighter and tighter!
A deadly terror, like the scythe of a grim reaper, enveloped them completely!
"Word Soul: Judgment!"
In the Corpse Cathedral, Adam sat upright with solemnity.
Suddenly, a blurry figure appeared directly inside the church.
Adam stepped down from his bronze chair, cloaked in a pure white robe, revealing his original appearance—bearded and smiling gently. "Welcome back. It's been a long time."
The visitor was naturally Uchiha Sogetsu. Looking at Adam, who seemed somewhat changed, he asked calmly, "How is the plan progressing?"
"As expected, the Fourth Great Ninja War will begin soon."
Adam flipped open the book in his hands, scanning the text briefly.
"Onoki, unwilling to remain inferior, after witnessing White Zetsu's actions, finally developed rebellious thoughts. He united with the Aurora Order, secretly clearing obstacles and centralizing power, preparing to ascend as the 'Black Emperor.'"
"The kidnapped Gaara will become the fuse that ignites the Fourth Great Ninja War."
"Following that, the Aurora Order will strike again, seizing the Two-Tails from Kumogakure, the Three-Tails and the Six-Tail from Kirigakure, and the Seven-Tails from Takigakure."
"The Land of Earth, under Onoki's control, will declare full-scale war on the ninja world, marking the start of a great era."
"Under the mounting pressure, the Hokage, Raikage, acting Kazekage, Mizukage, and Amegakage will convene in the Land of Iron for the Five Kage Summit, officially discussing how to deal with the Aurora Order and the Land of Earth."
When Adam finished speaking, he closed the book, raising his eyelids slightly. His eyes, pure and innocent like those of a child, fixed on Uchiha Sogetsu. "How do you find the script I arranged?"
"Hm, not bad."
Uchiha Sogetsu was fairly satisfied with Adam's arrangement.
"How's the situation on your side?"
Adam put down the book, his expression turning somewhat serious.
"Not going very smoothly."
Uchiha Sogetsu sighed lightly and shook his head. "But at least we've clarified one thing."
During these two years of disappearance, Uchiha Sogetsu was not merely a bystander. His main focus was drawn by the "Chaos Sea." Sefirot was a necessary element to advance to the "Great Old One."
But unfortunately, he was currently only a Sequence One King of Angels. Though he could avoid further corruption, accommodating the "Sefirot" was simply a fool's dream.
Over these two years, Uchiha Sogetsu ventured deep into the Chaos Sea several times, intending to explore the origin of the "corruption."
But unfortunately, each time he reached the "Blasphemy Slate" in the Chaos Sea, an inexplicable force blocked him, preventing any further progress.
Still, it wasn't entirely without gain.
At least Uchiha Sogetsu confirmed one fact: the Blasphemy Slate in the Chaos Sea was the corpse of "Primodial God Almighty" transformed!
In other words, to accommodate the Chaos Sea, one must be prepared to resist the erosion from "God Almighty's" consciousness, otherwise, it cannot be held lightly!
The Chaos Sea had completely invaded reality, crossing the gap between the Pure Land and the material world, flowing deep into the earth's core!
"What do you plan to do about Abomination on the moon?"
Adam looked at Uchiha Sogetsu. With his current level, he could easily overwhelm a Sequence One Abomination.
"No rush. Abomination is still useful."
Uchiha Sogetsu shook his head and chuckled softly. "Hasn't Black Zetsu always been searching for his mother? I'm looking forward to the expression on his face when he finally sees that the mother he longs for day and night has become a terrifying monster."
"Did Black Zetsu offend you?"
Adam was a bit surprised. Otherwise, there was no reason for him to act like this.
"Yeah, you could say he did."
Uchiha Sogetsu actually nodded and said, "Back then, in the Uchiha's underground Naka shrine, Black Zetsu spied on me. Later, he schemed against me again."
"You're the King of Angels after all. You still hold grudges?" Adam was speechless. "Besides, how long ago was that?"
"Who said a King of Angels can't hold grudges?"
Uchiha Sogetsu gave him a side-eye and calmly said, "Haven't you seen 'Amon' next door? Even after tens of thousands of years, he's still a brat."
To that, Adam could only say, "Fair enough."
Poor Black Zetsu. When 'Mom' truly resurrects, his first reaction definitely won't be joy, but shock!
With 'Abominatione's' presence, it would be amazing if Black Zetsu doesn't break down from fear!
"Brats are not to be messed with."
Looking at Uchiha Sogetsu, Adam shook his head helplessly and thought, "But a King of Angels who holds grudges? Even worse!"
A grudge from over four hundred chapters ago, yet still remembered now — isn't that terrifying?
