Facing Cul's terrifyingly powerful charge, it seemed that even the Wood Buddha's originally compassionate expression took on a hint of gravity.
As Peter's thoughts raced, the Wood Buddha's thousand hands unfurled in overlapping layers.
Thousands of wooden palms stacked together, attempting to catch Cul's full-force Impact.
Crackle!
The moment the two behemoths collided, the very heavens and earth seemed to change color.
The ground beneath them was instantly blasted into a massive crater over a hundred meters deep, and the shockwave, carrying debris, spread in all directions, reducing buildings within dozens of kilometers to dust in an instant.
The Superheroes in the distance only managed to withstand this terrifying shockwave thanks to the Celestial Energy within their bodies.
Finally, the terrifying shockwave and the dust filling the sky gradually faded.
Having regained his composure, Tony didn't hesitate for a second and immediately ordered Jarvis to activate thermal imaging mode to observe the situation on the scene.
When he saw clearly what had happened on the battlefield, even Tony, who had seen his fair share of storms, couldn't help but gasp.
On the battlefield, the Wood Buddha had ultimately managed to catch Cul's Impact.
But that was all it had done—merely caught it.
The Wood Buddha's thousand arms had long since been ground into dust during the Impact.
Its massive body, after taking the brunt of the collision head-on, showed fine, visible cracks.
"Is this all you've got?"
Cul's voice drifted from the dust, his giant vertical pupils filled with disdain.
"Either flowers or trees, nothing but pathetic parlor tricks!"
As he finished speaking, his snake tail swept in from the side.
Half of the Buddha's shoulder was instantly shattered, wood chips flying everywhere and revealing the fine wooden grain inside.
Sitting atop the Wood Buddha's head, Peter looked down at the increasingly dense cracks on its body.
He couldn't help but feel a sense of awe.
After absorbing Cul's subordinates, The Worthy, and tens of thousands of undead cavalry, his strength, boosted by the soul amplification of the Human Emperor Banner, had increased by at least half!
Under these circumstances, his full-power True Several Thousand Hands still couldn't completely block Cul's Impact, which showed just how formidable Cul's strength was.
However, that didn't mean he was helpless against this guy.
Relying solely on Wood Release was indeed not enough to stop him.
But he had never intended to use only this one move, had he?
"Pathetic parlor tricks?"
Peter chuckled and looked up.
"Then if I add Fire to this Wood Buddha, how would you respond?"
Before he finished speaking, his eyes changed abruptly.
Three black tomoe first appeared in his pupils, then spun rapidly, forming the unique pattern of the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan.
The moment the pattern emerged, cold spiritual energy was entirely converted into violent Chakra flames.
The next second, deep purple flames surged from his body.
Many viewers across the globe were no strangers to this power.
On a street in New York, a young black man looking up at the sky jumped up suddenly:
"Shit, bro! It's that! That bitch in the purple leather suit was killed by this thing, DAMN~ M3!"
"Yeah, yeah, yeah, that fire monster! Last time, only half its body came out and it shot Skirn to death with one arrow!"
But this time, it was a completely different story!
If the Chakra released while dealing with Skirn was just a small stream, then what was pouring out of Peter now was an entire ocean!
The massive amount of deep purple Chakra flames almost dyed the entire sky a pale purple.
Facing this overwhelming Chakra, even the God of Fear was momentarily stunned.
Peter didn't intend to give him time to recover.
He gestured sharply.
That torrential purple Chakra responded and slowly took shape behind him.
Huge purple bones emerged from the void, each rib dozens of meters long, weaving together in the air to form a terrifying skeleton outline.
Then came the muscles.
Purple Chakra filled and stacked onto the skeleton, forming thick, muscular textures.
Finally, the armor.
But this set of armor was completely different from the Tengu armor of Uchiha Sasuke in the original Hokage.
Although his Mangekyo Sharingan ocular technique was identical to Uchiha Sasuke's, that didn't mean he could only obediently manifest the original Susanoo image.
This Chakra was a product of Peter's own body, and each of the other energy systems Peter now mastered was no less powerful than Chakra.
Under these circumstances, Peter could certainly design his own Susanoo according to his own ideas.
Therefore, Peter made drastic adjustments to the original Susanoo.
The original Tengu armor was replaced by Mingguang armor with a rich oriental flair.
The round breastplate shimmered in the purple light, and the beast-head shoulder guards looked ferocious, like beasts ready to devour their prey.
The long-nosed Tengu mask that originally covered the face was replaced with a Suanni-style helmet, looking even more sacred and majestic.
Only the pair of giant wings spread on its back were retained, flapping slowly in the air, each flap enough to whip up a hurricane.
Perfect Susanoo, reporting for duty!
The moment this Perfect Susanoo appeared, Peter didn't hesitate at all and directly operated the energy giant, attaching it onto the battle-scarred Wood Buddha!
It appeared! The legendary Susanoo-clad Buddha!!!
The moment the Susanoo armor finished attaching, the dense cracks on the Buddha's body healed rapidly under the infusion of the Susanoo's energy.
At the same time, the Buddha's originally compassionate expression was quickly replaced by a fierce, wrathful gaze!
"This..."
Cul finally recovered from his stupor, his snake pupils contracting violently.
He realized the situation was dire and instinctively tried to break through Peter's amplification to attack the monster that had appeared out of thin air.
"Don't be in such a rush~ It's not over yet."
As he spoke, Peter smiled and snapped his fingers.
The next second, the Senbonzakura petals in the air that had previously been scattered by Cul suddenly took on a new movement.
Those billions of pink petals didn't disperse again, but instead rapidly condensed, compressed, and reshaped in a bizarre way—
Turning into thousands of pink long blades.
Each one was several meters long, radiating a soft yet dangerous luster throughout.
They floated densely in the mid-air between Peter and Cul, forming a tight blade formation that exuded an intense sense of oppression.
Senkei: Senbonzakura Kageyoshi.
The second form of Senbonzakura's Bankai!
Just as these thousands of long blades condensed,
The Susanoo Buddha's thousand hands opened their palms at the same time.
The next second, those thousands of pink long blades seemed to receive some kind of silent command and flew spontaneously toward those open giant palms, each hand wielding a blade.
A thousand hands, a thousand blades.
Susanoo, True Several Thousand Hands, Senbonzakura Kageyoshi.
Three abilities perfectly fused at this moment!
This scene left even the Avengers, who had seen their fair share of grand spectacles, completely stunned.
What kind of scene haven't we seen before? (Crossed out)
We really haven't seen this scene before!
