"You're courting death!"
Void turned around in a fury, his right fist carrying a ball of extremely condensed black and gold energy as it smashed towards Peter's face.
But Peter was already prepared. Raising his left hand, another ball of Dark Energy met the mass of golden-black light energy head-on.
The two energies collided in mid-air, annihilating each other and bursting forth with blinding light and a violent Impact, pushing both of them backward at the same time.
Before Void could steady his footing while retreating, Peter's five fingers spread open as Bansho Tenin activated, and an extremely strong suction force dragged Void right back.
The all-black the necrosword had already thrust out once more, this time piercing straight through his lower abdomen entirely.
Immediately following that, Peter twisted his wrist and exerted force with his arm.
Only a muffled "chi" sound could be heard from the void, and in the next second, Void was reduced to 2.5 strips.
This sword strike had indeed nearly cleaved Void's body straight into two halves.
Void's expression changed drastically. Just as he wanted to urge his power to reconnect his severed body, Peter suddenly made the voice of a centenarian:
"The World!"
Stand "World" activated.
Time stopped flowing at this moment.
The bursting light flames in space, the twinkling stars in the distance, the furious expression on Void's face... all of these things froze at this exact moment.
And Peter on the opposite side neatly hacked Void into eight pieces.
In the next second, the purple glow of the Rinnegan had already lit up, and concentric circle patterns emerged within his pupils.
He reached out his hand, condensing pitch-black Chakra receivers at his fingertips, and just like how he had dealt with the Deva Path Sentry earlier, he precisely inserted these iron rods into various joints and acupoints of Void's mutilated body.
Chakra surged into Void's body along these receivers, and the power of the Rinnegan quickly began to take over all functions of this corpse.
Following his actions, Void's body rapidly underwent changes.
The flesh-and-blood body originally composed of energy underwent a certain structural change, vaguely becoming more like a metal product.
At Peter's command, his entire body bloomed like a lotus flower, displaying all sorts of bizarre weapons of slaughter.
"Done." Peter nodded with satisfaction, raising his hand to snap his fingers.
Time resumed its flow, and the Shura Path Sentry Pain was thus freshly released.
Just as Peter was testing the various laser weapons formed by the combination of the light-energy body and mechanical traits, a dazzling golden light lit up once more in the distant void.
That was the energy of the light-energy dimension surging violently at the boundary of the Universe, and in the next second, a brand-new figure walked out from that radiance.
A brand-new Void had been manufactured.
In the blink of an eye, he flew in front of Peter, his gaze locked tightly onto the two versions of himself beside Peter.
Looking at his own "corpse" transformed into puppets entirely utilized by the opponent, the expression on Void's face gradually changed from a single fury into something much more complex—shame, fear, unwillingness, and an obsession bordering on madness.
"Damn it, I will definitely kill you!" Void roared, a terrifying golden light suddenly erupting from his body.
Realizing that the Dark Energy on his body could do nothing to Peter, he no longer resisted using the power of light energy, even stirring up a light-energy Impact akin to a nuclear explosion at this moment.
If this strike landed on Earth, it would definitely be far more exaggerated than Fat Man and Little Boy.
Yet such an attack still failed to cause any substantial damage in front of Peter.
Peter spread his hands, and the Phoenix Force formed a golden light curtain in the void, steadily catching this light cannon Impact.
Almost at the exact same time that Peter caught this light cannon Impact, the Deva Path Sentry and the Shura Path Sentry moved together.
The Deva Path Sentry opened his hands, and a black singularity flew out of his grasp.
This singularity rapidly flew toward Void.
Wherever it passed, it whipped up a terrifying gravitational pull, absorbing countless cosmic dust and slightly smaller meteoroids all at once.
This dust gradually wrapped the Sentry within it, and no matter how monstrous his strength was, he couldn't break free for a moment.
This was precisely Uzumaki Nagato's ultimate trump card from the original Naruto work—Chibaku Tensei!
Right at the same time the Sentry was hard-controlled by the Chibaku Tensei,
the Shura Path Sentry raised his right arm, the flesh on his upper arm rolling back and splitting open to reveal a mechanical barrel underneath flickering with golden light energy—that was the product of the Shura Path's unique body modification ability fused with the Sentry's light-energy dimension.
An energy cannon blast was fired, directly knocking Void's body flying. It tumbled and crashed into the distant asteroid belt, absorbing more and more meteoroids.
The moment Void was completely condensed into a sphere, deep in the space of the Universe, a Susanoo standing a full hundred meters tall emerged.
The all-black the necrosword in its hand magnified infinitely, and with just a single strike, it sliced open the "artificial moon" wrapping around Void, revealing the similarly bisected Void inside.
"The World!"
This time it was the Animal Path.
Peter gave it a try. Just like the Animal Path in the original work, the Animal Path Sentry could condense various summoning creatures, except that affected by the Sentry physique, these summoning creatures were also light-energy entity creatures.
At this point, the scene completely devolved into a righteous gang beating.
Void appeared before Peter for the third time, directly surrounded by light-energy creatures such as the split-dog, hell crab, giant centipede, giant bird, and giant rhinoceros.
Although he tried his absolute best, his stats ultimately still appeared a bit pale in front of Peter's mechanics.
The Human Path, the Preta Path, the Naraka Path...
Resurrected time and time again, made into Pain time and time again.
Finally, Peter had gathered his own Six Paths of Pain.
Six identical Sentry puppets floated quietly in space, each embedded with black rods and opening the Rinnegan, making the classic poses of the Six Paths of Pain upon their initial debut in the manga in unison under Peter's conscious control.
Mm, the kind that would scare even Jiraiya to tears if he got the intel...
Looking at the full six "corpse puppets" of himself standing before him, Void ultimately realized one thing:
He couldn't win. He could never win.
Every time he died, an extra clone of him would become Peter's puppet.
His resistance would only make Peter's strength stronger and stronger, until Peter gathered a complete ultimate legion composed of his own corpse.
Void's fists slowly relaxed, then clenched tight, then relaxed again.
He realized he had already lost.
But... if he, who was born to destroy everything, could no longer destroy the enemy before him,
what was even the meaning of his existence?
Peter in the distance looked at his existential-crisis appearance and suddenly opened his mouth to sigh softly:
"Sigh, seeing that you delivered the Sentry Six Paths to me,"
Peter walked toward Void step by step, his voice calm and sincere: "I've decided to give you a final grand gift."
Void's eyelids twitched, and an ominous premonition emerged in his heart.
"What do you mean?"
He felt he had prepared to fight back, but under the unreasonable gravitational pull and the exquisite cooperation of the Six Paths of Pain, he was ultimately hard-controlled in place by Peter.
As for Peter, he slowly walked up in front of Void, his palm burning with the fire of the Phoenix Force gently pressing down on Void's crown:
"I will completely rid you of the Void!"
