Chapter 284: Rejecting Becoming Elden Lord
The disadvantage of the Uchiha bloodline lies in the exploitation of physical energy and the extraction of chakra.
The Cursed Energy that Gojo Satoru excels at using doesn't need extraction at all; Kaito Shirogane's body provides it continuously.
Chakra, on the other hand, is a type of physical energy. Even with Kaito Shirogane's current physical capabilities, and Uchiha Madara being able to extract it continuously, at this moment, he still couldn't stop the body's state from leaning towards the top powerhouse of the Jujutsu world.
The corners of Gojo Satoru's mouth rose uncontrollably. This was a victory of energy mechanics. Even if this top powerhouse of the ninja world could use the host's unparalleled body to quickly refine the energy he needed, even if his ocular techniques were more offensive...
But, the current situation, clearly...
"I am the invincible one."
Gojo Satoru lowered his eyelids, the corners of his eyes and mouth curving upwards. He couldn't completely suppress Uchiha Madara's soul; the two were currently sharing the [Throne of the Heart]. But due to compatibility issues, he could access almost limitless energy within this body at any time.
Vmm~
Amidst strange noises, whether it was shuriken, fireballs, or wind blades, all ninjutsu were frozen in front of Kaito Shirogane's body.
The half of the face controlled by Uchiha Madara also showed a slightly surprised expression at this moment. Clearly, Gojo Satoru's ability surprised him a little.
This ability, which could be called "Absolute Defense," rarely appeared even in the ninja world.
Gojo Satoru spread one hand open. His completely defenseless posture couldn't be as carefree because the half of the body controlled by Uchiha Madara chose to cross his arms. But he still looked wantonly at these humans in this world who wielded strange energy.
"What a nice ability."
This energy system where humans could manipulate supernatural power without relying on extreme emotions amazed Gojo Satoru. He looked at the large number of energy attacks frozen in front of him, his eyes shifting, finally focusing his attention on Uchiha Obito.
Among everyone present, except for this one, no one could arouse this body's vigilance.
Obito's eyes focused. His Mangekyō ability's consumption was relatively acceptable compared to other Uchiha clan members due to the boost from Hashirama cells.
Kamui activated instantly. The space-distorting attack showed no trend, but Gojo Satoru became alert instantly.
Bang!
The moment the ground exploded, Kaito Shirogane's figure completely disappeared. Uchiha Obito, wary of Uchiha Madara's Sharingan, was very alert as his eyes moved.
But he didn't wait for Uchiha Madara's appearance. Instead, a figure appeared in the middle of all the ninjas with movements almost approximating teleportation.
Whether it was the Hyuga's Byakugan or the Uchiha's Sharingan, none could foresee this movement method that truly had little difference from teleportation.
Gojo Satoru made a hand seal with one hand in front of him. He was ready to instantly kill everyone.
"Domain Expansion, Unlimited Voi..."
Crack!
The sound of bones breaking rang out. Gojo Satoru's expression turned cold. Half of Kaito Shirogane's body stopped his hand seal with completely uncoordinated movements. That overly powerful left hand actually crushed the right hand of the same body directly.
The delicate flow of Cursed Energy was also interrupted, and the Domain couldn't be expanded.
Uchiha Madara and Gojo Satoru shared the body at this moment, and also shared the mind.
He read that this individual named Gojo Satoru actually mastered an ability that, once expanded, would almost instantly kill everyone within range. He didn't like his work being destroyed by this ability, and he disliked his first performance after rebirth having the stage stolen by someone else even more.
Uchiha Madara almost crudely gouged out the left eye of Kaito Shirogane's body, then installed the Sharingan he had snatched.
The transplantation of the Sharingan originally required a fairly delicate surgery, but the overly powerful vitality of this body allowed him to ignore this. He only needed to place this eye in the socket, and those greedy flesh and nerves would autonomously incorporate this Sharingan into the body's control.
And the so-called heavy load of the Sharingan on non-Uchiha clan members was almost negligible given the overly powerful performance of this body.
Uchiha Madara felt the cold Yin Chakra flowing into his body from the eye. That familiar feeling almost made him want to laugh out loud again in comfort.
The two-tomoe Sharingan rotated and changed instantly, and the third tomoe was catalyzed in an instant.
Whether it was emotions or the extraction of Yin Chakra, these techniques were just casual actions for Uchiha Madara.
This body, with a cell count far exceeding ordinary ninjas, began to operate almost like burning under his Chakra Extraction Technique.
A large amount of physical energy was converted into chakra.
Uchiha Madara moved his body a bit. Although not as convenient as his original body, this body, to some extent, possessed a higher upper limit.
Uchiha Obito's body remained intangible, but he felt the terrifying malice revealed by this Mercenary Tao who called himself "Uchiha Madara" in that instant just now. Large bumps appeared on his skin—a reaction provoked from the bottom of his heart by the killing intent of that instant.
Gojo Satoru's soul turned indifferent. He disliked Uchiha Madara's arrogance and dominance. As someone regarded as changing the balance of the Jujutsu world since birth, it was hard for him to accept another person showing such a posture.
He didn't stop Uchiha Madara from controlling this body to refine energy; he even cooperated with Uchiha Madara's actions with the half of the body he controlled.
This was his pride and arrogance in himself. He disdained bullying Uchiha Madara, who couldn't command much energy.
He was willing to truly contend for control of this body with Uchiha Madara after the latter adjusted his condition to perfection.
Whoosh!
In the sky, that Golden Beast, which seemed completely unaffected by gravity, also seemed weightless at this moment. The impact of the Eight-Tails Gyūki hit nothing but air as the Elden Beast faded and dissipated in the sky.
Turning into a golden-like glow, it appeared in another corner of the sky.
The Fourth Raikage, his face stained with golden blood, looked at Mercenary Tao below and Uchiha Obito confronting Mercenary Tao with lingering fear.
Whoosh!
The next moment, golden flames rained down again. This kind of attack was meaningless to a Taijutsu master like A. He disappeared from his spot instantly.
But this time, after those flames, the Golden Formation didn't continue to appear.
Instead, the Elden Beast spun a few times and transformed into a human form.
It was a figure taller than ordinary humans, with a fit body and long red hair dissipating behind him.
On that practically perfect body, there was also a gorgeous to the point of糜烂 red flower pattern on the chest.
The Empyrean Minoru Hiranaka emerged from the Elden Beast's body. Looking at Mercenary Tao, who finally appeared on this battlefield, golden incantations lit up continuously.
[Golden Vow]!
[Barrier of Gold]!
[Golden Lightning Fortification]!
...
Minoru Hiranaka's figure seemed to become illusory, drifting towards Mercenary Tao's powerful back. This was the Lord recognized by both him and the Golden Order, a powerhouse capable of conquering this world.
"Mercenary Tao, become the Elden Lord..."
His voice was ethereal, and his figure also appeared behind Kaito Shirogane. The two were about to merge into one.
But the next moment, a black flash erupted.
The distance between the two appeared as if it would never change.
"Did you mistake something..."
"Minoru Hiranaka."
"A so-called Lord doesn't need recognition from a guy like you..."
