Chapter 464: Advancement of the Shinigami
[Divinity (Weak)]
[Quality: Special]
[Description: The particularity of a Great Existence, an extraordinary endowment radiating brilliance]
[Effect: Unknown]
On the ground, the woman's corpse turned into a blue-white ice block, completely losing its life force. That large pool of scattered blue hair remained on the beach like a flower.
In the sky, the cold airflow quickly flowed back towards the sea, and the thunderclouds dispersed rapidly accompanying the cancellation of Kaito Shirogane's ability.
Japan quickly began to warm up. Not only that, those rituals and altars that had already been set up in various places also began to disintegrate.
Ordinary people affected by the Ancient Alien God also began to return to normal one by one.
In the distance, the horizon began to whiten. Accompanied by the thawing of the frozen sea surface, the splashing sound of waves began to surge again, and the sounds of seagulls and flying birds also appeared in the night sky.
It seemed the vitality of this world was also beginning to return.
The Reincarnators had almost either died or fled. The yokai attracted by the Shikon Jewel brought by the Reincarnators had also been slaughtered to extinction. At the same time, the Outer God drawn by the Reincarnators also lost the opportunity to descend and moved His gaze away.
The world looked as if it was about to return to normal.
Kaito looked at the Twin Wight in front of him. These two Wights lacked frontal combat power. At this moment, feeling the cold recede, they seemed to begin to feel uneasy.
In Kaito's line of sight, they constantly retreated.
On Kaito's body surface, the phantom of the Omen of the Evil God swayed, but he raised his right hand, and white luster radiated from it.
...
In the pure white sea of consciousness, Gojo Satoru, Uchiha Madara, and Millennium Bug stood side by side in a small clearing. This was probably a place where one could get brief peace in this endlessly fighting soul space.
In the sky above here, a peculiar plant like broccoli was still growing slowly.
Because it was the only special creation in this entire space besides the [Throne of the Heart], it was regarded by the souls as some special place.
Therefore, struggles constantly occurred.
But ultimately, it was these powerful and clear-minded souls who seized this place.
And in the air, the Shinigami from the Naruto world, constantly floating, suddenly seemed to feel something too, looking up at the sky.
Beneath the Throne of the Heart, a woman with long ice-blue hair fell from the sky. Accompanied by her fall were countless peculiar light spots.
With an agile reaction it had never shown before, the Shinigami was the first to appear below the woman. Spreading its arms, the ceremonial knife holding in its mouth for cutting souls was also taken down simultaneously.
The aura of divine power!
Hum~
The space suddenly distorted, and the Shinigami was immediately bounced away.
Gojo Satoru waved his hands insincerely in front of him.
"Sorry, Shinigami-kun. I'm also very curious about the thing you want so much~"
Bounced away by the power of Limitless, the Shinigami wasn't discouraged, moving forward once again. This performance ultimately piqued Uchiha Madara's interest as well.
The three-tomoe Sharingan in his eyes spun rapidly. His figure rose from the ground, directly knocking the Shinigami flying in the next moment.
Because they were all soul-natured, the Shinigami lost many of its advantages when fighting ninjas.
At this moment, suffering consecutive attacks, the Shinigami could no longer care to cut open that woman to find divine power from her stomach, directly scooping up a few light spots of divine power from mid-air.
It immediately felt its figure solidify several times over, standing firmly in the air.
Uchiha Madara and Gojo Satoru also simultaneously noticed the change.
As a Reincarnator, Millennium Bug understood this kind of thing better. He frowned, putting his hands in his pockets.
"This is... divine power?!"
"The Shinigami obtained evolution by devouring divine power?"
Millennium Bug didn't understand. Mercenary Tao, who was fighting him neck and neck not long ago, and who would probably have been defeated by his Domain Expansion if not for this "Hell" hidden in his body.
How did he come into contact with this kind of thing so quickly?
He looked at the woman falling from the sky. In his impression, there was absolutely no such goddess in any work.
A goddess with blue hair, the only one in his impression was that unreliable Goddess of Wisdom in a certain work. But judging by age and appearance, the one falling down was clearly not her.
Gojo Satoru and Uchiha Madara, two maniacs pursuing power, didn't care what divine power was at all, also grabbing the remaining divine power at this time.
But looking at the light spots in their hands, the two didn't feel any changes in their souls.
"Divine power is probably something only divine creatures can use. To us, it has no effect."
Millennium Bug explained coldly, leaping high, repelling the gathering Cursed Spirits, and helped the woman up.
Soon, they learned the course of events from the woman's mouth, their expressions all somewhat subtle.
She actually made a deal with a guy like Mercenary Tao, and it was the kind where she handed over her own life first...
"Heh, I guess you are probably going to be disappointed. That god was right; Mercenary Tao is just a greedy monster..."
Millennium Bug turned around, mocking the woman's stupidity.
He thought, with Mercenary Tao's personality, there was a high probability he would kill the woman and then kill the Twin Wight with special abilities to earn a possible drop.
Gojo Satoru also whistled, his expression teasing.
"Haha, unfortunately, that guy can probably really do that kind of thing..."
Among the numerous souls, Gojo Satoru had the most contact with Kaito, and he also understood Kaito's logic of doing things best. There was absolutely no such thing as morality or empathy.
Kaito's actions were closer to being completely driven by interest.
It was almost impossible to move him by begging for mercy or pleading.
Uchiha Madara crossed his arms. He coldly threw the divine power out, then watched the Shinigami quickly grab it and further solidify.
It began to exude considerable oppressive force.
Subsequently, the Shinigami's figure began to shrink, and souls it had once devoured also began to be spat out one by one.
Uchiha Madara's eyes moved. He saw the Nine-Tails was also spat out from it, although this amount of Chakra and soul aura indicated it wasn't the complete Nine-Tails.
But...
Uchiha Madara's eyes focused, immediately controlling the Nine-Tails.
In the next moment, a blond figure also landed from the Shinigami's stomach, looking around curiously.
Uchiha Madara originally had no interest in these weak souls, but suddenly, he saw that special Hokage cloak on the other party, and the words revealed when he turned around.
"Fourth... Hokage?!"
He quickly associated many things.
At the same time, Minato Namikaze also turned back, noticing this guy with the signature Sharingan in his eyes.
Momentum erupted between the two.
Gojo Satoru rested his hands behind his head, having not much interest in this kind of battle.
In this soul space, too many battles happened every moment, making him start to feel annoyed.
He was more interested in the changes of that host. Even from just a few words, he could guess that host was chasing after the power called [Heart].
"Ha~ Interesting, truly interesting... Let me see if you can get that kind of thing!"
Only Millennium Bug kept staring at the Shinigami that devoured a lot of divine power. The opponent's increasingly solidified soul began to exude an intense oppressive force.
That feeling, perhaps it could be called... Reiatsu (Spiritual Pressure).
The Shinigami's size began to shrink to a margin slightly larger than a normal human, over two meters, but its figure was incomparably solid.
That ceremonial knife for cutting souls also lengthened a lot. The Hannya-like mask on its face completely solidified, turning into a white bone mask.
Millennium Bug looked at this plausible thing, his eyebrows twitching. He felt the threat of this thing... was very large.
