Chapter 550 You Can't Become a God
"Isn't it good to be alive?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Otsutsuki Isshiki's eyes twitched slightly.
His nickname is Biguna.
呲!
A faint, almost inaudible sound of something cutting through the air rang out.
Several black rods, which were shrunk to a microscopic size by "Shona Bikona" just moments before, suddenly returned to their original size and shot towards Nagato and the other two as if they had appeared out of thin air.
However, the figures of Nagato, Konan, and Hanzo vanished from their spots the instant the black rod was thrust out, as if they had foreseen it.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
The three figures reappeared dozens of meters away in another location. The several black rods all missed their mark, embedding themselves deep into the ground where they had been standing, leaving bottomless holes.
"Oh?"
Otsutsuki Isshiki looked at Nagato and the other two, his gaze lingering on Hanzo.
More precisely, it was the black rods that had pierced his body that landed on him; the Byakugan pierced through his flesh and saw the flow of chakra within Hanzo's body.
The black rods act like signal receivers, and a wave is being transmitted silently and remotely to Nagato and Konan through those black rods.
"Did you share your vision in that way?" Isshiki Otsutsuki's voice remained calm.
This method was familiar to him; it was the very principle behind creating the "Six Paths of Pain."
He just didn't expect that Nagato would use this connection method, which was used to control puppets, on the three of them, creating a real-time shared perception effect.
At this moment, Hanzo's bare arms and half of his face were covered with the white mark of "Karma" emitting a faint glow, and his "black eye" was staring intently at Otsutsuki Isshiki.
The three of them were able to dodge the black rod that was invisible to the naked eye because of Hanzo.
Hanzo also possesses "black eyes," although he cannot shrunk his black rods to the size of cells to attack like Isshiki.
However, simply seeing the shrunken black rods attacking and catching their trajectory the moment they returned to their original size was enough to buy the three people with shared senses time to react.
"Oh.
Yi Shi chuckled softly, but there was no warmth in his laughter.
"Use the power I gave you to fight me?" he said slowly. "I don't quite understand, who gave you this courage?"
The moment the word "courage" was finally uttered.
Swish!
Otsutsuki Isshiki's figure vanished from the spot in an instant, without leaving a trace or making a sound.
"Watch out—" Hanzo's pupils contracted slightly, before he could even shout out.
Almost simultaneously, Otsutsuki Isshiki appeared to Nagato's left, delivering a high whip kick that, accompanied by a piercing shriek that tore through the air, aimed fiercely at Nagato's head.
A strong instinct compelled Nagato to subconsciously raise the katana he held, known as "Rinne Karma," and hold it horizontally to his side.
Bang! !
A dull thud, a seemingly simple kick, yet its power was terrifying.
"cough!"
Nagato's face contorted as he felt an irresistible force emanating from the blade. His hand instantly split open, bleeding profusely, and his entire arm ached with numbness and pain, almost losing all feeling.
boom!
He was thrown off the ground uncontrollably, leaving a deep trench in the ground before crashing into a collapsed rock wall hundreds of meters away, raising clouds of dust.
"Nagato!" Konan, witnessing this scene from the air, exclaimed in shock, then glared angrily at Isshiki Otsutsuki.
The paper wings on its back suddenly flapped, and countless pieces of paper gathered together, transforming into sharp spears, ready to unleash a devastating attack.
But the next moment, Otsutsuki Isshiki raised his head, looked at Konan in the air, raised his right hand, and gently pinched and flicked his index finger and thumb.
The black and red cube "Ooka Ten," shrunk to the size of dust by "Shona Bikuna," was silently shot towards Konan in the air.
It's completely invisible, and its speed exceeds the limits of visual capture.
hum!
Its volume suddenly expanded, returning to its original size, and with a whooshing sound, it attacked Xiao Nan from below.
Upon seeing this, Xiao Nan's expression changed, and without hesitation, it flapped its wings, attempting to gain altitude to avoid the attack.
But----
A shadow fell over her head, causing her to look up sharply.
Suddenly, another equally enormous "Great Box of Heaven" appeared high above her head and was now crashing down on her at an even faster speed.
A pincer attack from both above and below.
boom!!
Two enormous "Great Box Heavens," one above the other, collided and merged in the airspace where Xiao Nan was located, producing a deafening roar.
Otsutsuki Isshiki didn't look at "Ookata Ten". His eyes had already calmly shifted away, turning to the distance, to the still-lingering dust where Nagato had been kicked away and crashed into.
Buzz————
As far as the eye could see, space twisted and spun, transforming into a black and red portal from which Hanzo and Konan leaped out and landed steadily on the ground.
Xiao Nan's face turned slightly pale as she looked at the two "Great Box Heavens" in the distance, still feeling lingering fear.
Clearly, Hanzo used a space-time ninjutsu to save Konan.
At the same time, a figure slowly emerged from the dust and smoke behind them.
Nagato wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his steps slightly unsteady. The web between his thumb and forefinger, which was gripping the sword, was split open, and blood dripped down the blade, but his expression was unexpectedly calm.
He looked up and met Yi Shi's eyes.
"I'm curious." Looking at the three unharmed individuals, Otsutsuki Isshiki asked calmly, "Why did you betray me?"
"I'll help your Akatsuki become stronger, I'll help your Amegakure become stronger, and I'll help you devise a method to kill Hyuga Kumokawa—"
"I will help you understand the truth about this planet and even the wider world, and help you gain enough power to rival the so-called five great powers on your own."
"Haven't I given you enough, provided enough help?"
"But you, having received such a great favor, not only show no gratitude, but instead intend to betray me?"
Nagato watched him quietly, the calm on her face gradually fading as Isshiki spoke, and the corners of her mouth slowly curled into a mocking smile.
"Help?" Nagato's voice was hoarse as he addressed him by his name. "Stop patting your ridiculously arrogant face, Otsutsuki Isshiki."
"From beginning to end, you had no interest in, and utterly disdained to, understanding why Xiao came into being, or what purpose he served."
"Not to become a god?" Ōtsutsuki Isshiki frowned. "I have already promised to share the fruits of the Divine Tree with you, and I would not break my promise."
"It's to become a god." Nagato smiled. "But becoming a god is for the sake of achieving peace, for the sake of creating a world without war or a cycle of hatred."
"Because only a truly transcendent god" could possibly save this hopeless world and end the root of all suffering.
"————"
Upon hearing this, Otsutsuki Isshiki's face also showed a mocking smile, and he sneered, "Peace? What kind of child do you need to hear bedtime stories?"
"If you want this kind of thing, if you want so-called peace," I can temporarily act as the god you desire, and I can grant it to you—"
"No."
Nagato interrupted him, the mocking smile on his face vanishing, replaced by a deep, calm expression. He said, word by word, "You can't become a god."
"This world doesn't need a guy like you who only knows how to plunder and destroy, and who treats everything as worthless—"
"Come and become our God."
Upon hearing this, the air seemed to freeze, and the atmosphere became oppressive.
The mocking smile on Otsutsuki Isshiki's face gradually faded, and only the coldness of looking at Nagato and the other two remained in the depths of his eyes as he looked at the dying.
"Is that so?" he said. "Then—"
"Go to hell."
hum! !
The moment the word "death" fell, the black diamond-shaped mark of "Karma" on the chin of Isshiki Otsutsuki, who now lives in Jigen's body, turned into black lines.
It spreads upwards and downwards, from the neck to the cheeks, and from the neck to the limbs.
In an instant, black vertical stripes covered his entire body.
One wedge of liberation marks one stage.
(There will be more at noon and in the afternoon. After finishing this section on Yishi, it will be time for Yun Chuan and Yunshi to appear.)
