For a moment, the frozen dimension trembled under the clash of overwhelming powers.
Antares was in his giant dragon form, his enormous body dominating the battlefield. His golden eyes locked onto Kaguya as he swung one of his massive claws toward her. Instantly, a gigantic golden claw made entirely of chakra materialized and descended with incredible speed. The attack tore through the air and slammed directly into Kaguya, pinning her in place.
Kaguya immediately understood the danger of the technique. I need to evade this, now! She tried to shift her weight, but she was unable to move. Benimaru had been relentlessly pressuring her from the front, forcing her attention onto him and leaving her no opportunity to dodge. As a result, the giant chakra claw landed without resistance.
The golden claw wrapped around her like a gigantic prison. The chakra composing it was incredibly dense and powerful, radiating immense pressure as it sought to suppress her movements completely. Cracks immediately began spreading across the construct as Kaguya's overwhelming chakra pushed back against it.
As expected, such a restriction could not truly contain someone of Kaguya's level.
"Hmph. As if this restriction will be able to hold me."
The moment she spoke those words, a terrifying surge of chakra erupted from her body.
Crack!
The giant golden claw shattered apart.
However, the instant she broke free, her expression changed. Someone had already appeared directly in front of her.
Guy.
His timing was perfect.
In his hand burned a mass of black flames. The dark fire twisted unnaturally, radiating a dangerous aura that even Kaguya instantly recognized as a threat. Before she could react, Guy clenched his hand.
The black flames collapsed inward. Then, a streak of black light erupted forward. It moved at an incredible speed.
Death Streak.
One of Guy's strongest and most signature techniques.
Kaguya's instincts screamed at her to dodge. This attack is lethal. I have to get away! Unfortunately for her, the opening created by Antares and Benimaru had been perfectly coordinated. The moment she destroyed the golden claw, Guy's attack was already upon her.
There was no time left.
The black light pierced through space itself and struck Kaguya directly.
Kaguya's eyes widened. Then, she screamed.
The effect of Death Streak was not limited to the physical body alone. The black light directly affected life information itself. It assaulted not only flesh and chakra, but also the deeper core of existence.
Madara's body—the vessel upon which Kaguya had descended and possessed—began to collapse instantly. Large portions of it were erased as though they had never existed in the first place. But that was not all. The attack also reached the core information area connected to her soul.
For the first time since the battle began, Kaguya suffered genuine damage.
"AAAAAAAHHHHHHH!"
Her roar shook the entire ice dimension.
Under the effects of Death Streak, Kaguya was forced into her unstable Tailed Beast form. Her body distorted violently as enormous amounts of chakra burst outward uncontrollably. The transformation fluctuated constantly, unable to maintain stability after receiving such a devastating attack.
The damage was immense.
Ordinarily, an attack capable of affecting both body and soul to this extent would have completely disintegrated its target in a single strike. The only reason Kaguya survived was because she had merged with the Ten-Tails. Her chakra reserves were unimaginably vast, and her soul power was equally monstrous. Those overwhelming reserves allowed her to endure what should have been certain annihilation.
Even so, the consequences were severe.
The physical body upon which she had descended—Madara's body—was completely annihilated under the power of Death Streak. Chunks of flesh vanished without a trace as the black light continued consuming everything in its path.
Meanwhile, Kaguya's unstable Tailed Beast form continued roaring in pain and fury, her chakra surging wildly throughout the frozen dimension. The ice-covered world shook violently under the pressure of her raging power, making it clear to everyone present that although she had survived the attack, she had suffered damage far greater than anything she had endured thus far in the battle.
As a result of no longer having a proper physical vessel, Kaguya's chakra began to run wild.
The immense chakra that normally remained under her control now surged uncontrollably throughout the ice dimension. Her form continuously shifted and distorted, unable to maintain a stable shape. Flesh, chakra, and spiritual energy twisted together as her body transformed into a gigantic rabbit-like creature. Yet, it was far from an ordinary rabbit; across its body appeared the faces and characteristics of all nine Tailed Beasts.
The transformation was grotesque and unstable. The giant creature roared, causing the surrounding glaciers to tremble.
However, neither Guy, Antares, nor Benimaru looked surprised. We knew a single shot wouldn't be enough, Guy thought, his eyes narrowing. Her vitality is completely absurd. Even after suffering such devastating damage, she was still alive.
Which was why they had already prepared their follow-up attacks.
Antares immediately began condensing his Breath of Destruction with his full power. The giant dragon opened his enormous jaws. At first, blazing flames gathered within his mouth. Then, a purplish-red light started to brew alongside the fire. The destructive element mixed with the flames, causing the surrounding space to distort slightly under the pressure.
The energy rapidly grew denser and denser. The giant sphere forming inside Antares' mouth radiated a terrifying aura capable of annihilating everything in its path.
Meanwhile, Benimaru took advantage of Kaguya's unstable state. His eyes narrowed. This is it. The opening we've been waiting for.
Without hesitation, he activated one of his strongest attacks.
Prominence Acceleration.
The black flames of Amaterasu immediately began gathering around his sword. More and more black fire condensed onto the blade while an intense light formed at the very center of those flames. The power became increasingly concentrated.
Then, Benimaru moved.
Boom!
The ice beneath him shattered.
Using Prominence Acceleration, his speed exploded to an unbelievable level. As he advanced, the black flames surrounding him transformed into the shape of a blazing black dragon. The dragon roared as it rushed forward.
Benimaru's speed approached the realm of light itself.
In the next instant, he appeared directly before the giant rabbit form of Kaguya. The blazing black dragon swallowed her whole.
ROOOOAAARRRR!
Kaguya screamed as the attack struck directly.
Prominence Acceleration was not merely an attack against the physical body; it targeted both physical and spiritual existence simultaneously. The black flames devoured everything they touched, while the concentrated power within sought to destroy the target at its very core.
Under the relentless, dual-layered assault, Kaguya's unstable form rapidly collapsed. Large portions of her remaining mass disintegrated into nothingness, unable to withstand the pure destructive output. Within moments, the giant rabbit body was completely torn apart, leaving nothing behind but countless floating fragments of spiritual matter scattered throughout the air.
Even then, the trio did not stop. Don't give her a single second to recover, Antares thought, his dragon eyes flashing. Leave absolutely nothing behind. Against someone like Kaguya, leaving even the slightest chance for recovery was a mistake.
At that exact moment, Antares finished charging his attack. He fired.
BOOOOOOM!
The fully powered Breath of Destruction erupted from his mouth.
A colossal torrent of flames mixed with purplish-red destructive energy shot across the frozen dimension. The attack tore through space itself as it rushed forward, instantly engulfing the remaining spiritual fragments of Kaguya.
The scattered remnants of her existence were swallowed completely. The destructive energy consumed everything—physical matter, chakra, and spiritual remnants. Nothing escaped. The lingering pieces of Kaguya were annihilated one after another under the overwhelming power of the Breath of Destruction.
The attack continued forward for several kilometers before finally dissipating.
Silence fell upon the ice dimension.
The frozen landscape had been utterly devastated by the combined attacks of Antares, Benimaru, and Guy. And where Kaguya's remaining spiritual fragments had once floated, nothing remained at all.
They had been completely annihilated.
