Chapter 292: The Trinity, The Final Battle Part 3
The monster from the Jujutsu world, boosted by unprecedentedly powerful Cursed Energy and coordinated with the precise manipulation of the [Six Eyes], displayed unparalleled destructive power.
[Hollow Technique: Purple], emitting a black-red luster, was fired continuously. The broken-bodied Elden Beast kept escaping into the void, but no matter where it appeared, new attacks were always getting closer.
"Ha~"
Gojo Satoru could no longer realize how terrifying he was in his current state. Completely swept up by the Satsui no Hado, he entered an extremely terrifying state.
Boom!
Boom boom!
Explosions rang out constantly from kilometers or even tens of kilometers away. Those were the terrible sounds of missed [Hollow Technique: Purple] hitting mountains and the earth.
This attack, combining intense repulsion and attraction, caused annihilating damage to all matter.
Uchiha Shisui watched Mercenary Tao "fully releasing his power." That posture seemed capable of destroying the world alone.
Moo!
The Elden Beast constantly tried to migrate through space, but its speed was too slow compared to Gojo Satoru's teleportation.
Before long, it was hit by a [Purple], and a huge hole appeared in its body.
The Elden Beast wailed and fell from the sky. The golden blood was far more intense than the glow falling from the Golden Erdtree, and the power of grace it emitted was also stronger.
Many people or creatures touched by the dripping blood instantly had golden luster blooming in their eyes.
Gojo Satoru ignored everything. Seeing those people and beasts, he just blasted them with a casual strike.
The killing intent became increasingly intense. Kaito Shirogane's consciousness just watched this scene with a smile. He knew very well that after today, he would definitely be temporarily dominated by killing intent. Before returning to the dimension, it would be difficult for him to consciously make any plans.
But the entire script had already been written.
Whether Gojo Satoru or Uchiha Madara was in control, Kaito Shirogane could observe the surroundings through the body's senses at any time.
Naturally, Uchiha Shisui, who appeared not far away, was also seen by him.
He knew that once he completely entered the "Killing Intent White" state, that overly kind Uchiha, worrying about his power, would use his precious [Kotoamatsukami], the last one in over a decade, on him again.
And still... selflessly.
Kaito Shirogane's eyes were mocking. He actually didn't look down on Uchiha Shisui. On the contrary, possessing such a terrible weapon yet still able to suppress his ambition made Uchiha Shisui a noteworthy character.
But the irony was that the other party was born in the wrong world. In this world, such benevolence often couldn't get the ending he wanted.
Whether in the original work or now...
"Madara, am I really some great villain?"
Kaito Shirogane looked at Uchiha Madara, whose soul was squeezed on the other side, and asked sincerely. At this moment, he felt that compared to Uchiha Shisui's thoughts, which were clear to the point of being almost naive, he was simply becoming the scheming big villain in those scripts~
Uchiha Madara looked coldly at this host who seemed to have gone completely mad, but whose soul solidity and strength overwhelmingly surpassed both himself and that white-haired frivolous man.
"Hmph, can't you even see your own nature clearly..."
Uchiha Madara snorted coldly, not wanting to answer such a worthless question.
For him, good and evil didn't have much value. As long as it was for his ultimate goal, no matter how others evaluated it, it was useless to him.
And at this moment, with three souls kneaded into one body, the nature of the three could not be concealed at all.
A guy whose "human" nature and empathy were probably so thin they were about to disappear actually questioned whether he was a good person.
Uchiha Madara only felt that this host was truly absurd on levels other than power.
"Hey hey hey, Madara, I can't pretend I didn't sense that thought. Is your alien remnant bloodline actually questioning my human nature..."
Intense soul power filled the consciousness space. Uchiha Madara was angry but increasingly suppressed.
He could feel the "anthropomorphic" nature under this host's bizarre words and deeds.
It was as if someone used material far superior to ordinary human souls and polished it into a human shape with extremely tricky knife techniques.
He would even be more obsessed with acting like a human than other humans, but ultimately, under that appearance, under that human embryo, was a completely heterogeneous soul.
No human would cherish their soul and self-will so little. This guy called Mercenary Tao completely disregarded his body, his free will, and even his soul.
Allowing a large number of souls and spirits to settle in, even actively inciting himself and other spirits to seize and control the body.
Now, to achieve a certain purpose, he deliberately induced that dangerous power into his body, completely swallowing the consciousness controlling the body.
This behavior shouldn't be done by a "human" at all. The other party lacked the human instinct of self-preservation.
Kaito Shirogane read Uchiha Madara's thoughts and judgments. He frowned, indeed realizing some of his own peculiarities.
But soon, he smiled.
Pfft!
The light of the Golden Erdtree had now obscured the entire sky. Gojo Satoru teleported continuously, chasing the Elden Beast and quickly crossing space and distance.
Seeing the larger-scale bloodshed and tree-returning cycle caused by the Golden Order manipulating a large number of humans and ninjas to fight each other, the Golden Erdtree was probably nearly ten thousand meters high now.
Konoha Village had become a village at the foot of the Golden Erdtree.
Meanwhile, the Elden Beast was wailing at this time, dragging golden blood like ribbons behind it.
On the Elden Beast's illusory body, a huge hole over five meters in diameter appeared near the head.
There were also a large number of scars all over its body.
This kind of monster with huge size and low evasion ability had extremely bad compatibility with Kaito Shirogane, Gojo Satoru, or Uchiha Madara.
All three's abilities were very suitable for causing huge destruction.
Gojo Satoru's eyes were completely shrouded in purple. His condition wasn't good either. Satsui no Hado wasn't a gentle force. The increasingly surging killing intent had begun to make Gojo Satoru unable to manipulate Cursed Energy too precisely.
Even the Six Eyes began to be interfered with.
But seeing the giant beast shot down, Gojo Satoru still revealed a cruel smile. Changing his posture in the air, head down and hands behind his back, he dove towards the Elden Beast in an almost free-fall posture.
Intense Cursed Energy wrapped around his fist. He finally walked towards the end of a Jujutsu Sorcerer—punching.
Kaito Shirogane finished teasing Madara and started teasing Gojo Satoru. The other party's crazy posture was completely different from the elegant posture he usually maintained, which Kaito Shirogane found interesting.
Whoosh~
The air howled violently. The passive defense of the Limitless Cursed Technique around Gojo Satoru's body had disappeared; he had no mind to manipulate those things.
At this moment, he only hoped to throw that explosive punch.
Pitch-black lightning appeared in front of his fist. Before this punch was fully thrown, the surging Cursed Energy began to spew from his fist like a Cursed Energy cannon.
This was an extremely inelegant and inefficient way of using Cursed Energy, but... simple and direct.
The Elden Beast wailed. A pitch-black figure tore through the air and appeared, punching out. The air screamed like ghosts wailing and wolves howling.
Pfft~ Bang!
Cursed Energy first spewed backward due to the intense force, but as the fist hit the Elden Beast's head, pitch-black Cursed Energy spewed out. That black flash instantly pierced through the golden sky completely and stabbed into the earth.
The sound of the earth cracking followed later.
The corners of Gojo Satoru's mouth split open unconsciously, revealing a smile.
The golden Elden Beast shattered in the air. Flesh and blood turned into broken golden meteors, smashing towards the ground.
A man with fluttering red hair and a body elongated to nearly three meters, emitting a golden luster all over, appeared from the flesh and blood. That incredibly huge Golden Greatsword fell into his hand, turning back into the [Golden Order Greatsword].
Golden sword light lit up in an instant, and the next moment, it slashed on Kaito Shirogane's chest. Golden flames and holy fire ignited simultaneously.
Bang!
Blazing white ripples spread circle by circle in the air. The huge force suddenly shot Kaito Shirogane's body into the ground.
Rumble!
The ground on the mountaintop bulged with huge gullies like lake water, spreading in ripples in all directions, then cracking inch by inch and starting to collapse. The forest was completely destroyed in an instant.
Then the golden meteor fragments smashed down from the sky.
Kaito Shirogane touched the depth of that sword wound on his chest, which almost cut him in half at the waist.
He looked at the sky. The fully deified Minoru Hiranaka raised the Golden Order Greatsword high. Golden light spread from the greatsword, and flame meteors sprayed towards the surroundings.
Mountains were ignited, a scene of catastrophe.
"Mercenary Tao, the Greater Will will punish you."
As the Empyrean Minoru Hiranaka's voice fell, it seemed as if some will really cast a gaze.
Kaito Shirogane didn't answer. He also raised his right hand high.
Crack!
A muffled thunder exploded.
Kaito Shirogane pointed at the sky, and dark clouds gathered instantly. That was the power of the planet's will. At this moment, Kaito Shirogane's actions happened to truly meet the requirements of the planet's will.
Following the power of [Wild Light Hiding], a will seemed to fall simultaneously in the air.
Minoru Hiranaka aimed at Kaito Shirogane.
Kaito Shirogane just pointed at the sky from afar.
"Accept the will of heaven. This is the benevolent release that woman grants you."
[Lightning Arrow of Fate]!
Vmm!
Golden sword light fell, as if a huge sword nearly a thousand meters long slashed down at Kaito Shirogane. Golden incantation light unfolded in the air.
But immediately, heaven and earth suddenly went dark.
It wasn't night falling, but an overly dazzling lightning bolt that took away all the light in the world.
Crack!
Rumble!
Heaven and earth lit up again. Rolling thunder echoed in all directions.
Only Kaito Shirogane remained between heaven and earth, standing on the top of the completely destroyed mountain, raising his right hand high. The golden giant sword shattered in the air.
The charred body of the Empyrean Minoru Hiranaka fell silently from the sky.
[You killed Empyrean: Minoru Hiranaka]
[You completed the Special Trial: Benevolence and Kindness Optional Mission - Mercy Release]
[You obtained Special Sequence: Virtue Sequence One - Mercy Release]
Brilliant white light appeared from heaven and earth, condensing on the back of Kaito Shirogane's hand, almost completely covering that touch of scarlet.
