Nagato stepped out from the shadows.
Uchiha Mirai was right—trying to defeat him with just the Deva Path was nothing more than wishful thinking.
If that was the case, then he would unleash his full power.
After today, the entire shinobi world would tremble before the might of a god!
With a mere thought, Nagato's body vanished from its original position.
Having transplanted Hashirama's cells, the earlier battle had been nothing more than a warm-up for him.
In an instant, he appeared beneath the towering Susanoo, slamming both hands onto its surface.
"Sealing Technique: Absorption Seal!"
The chakra sustaining Susanoo was rapidly drained, and its fully-formed structure began to destabilize.
"My true body possesses the full power of the Rinnegan. Even a complete Susanoo is no match for me."
Just as Nagato was feeling smug, a voice echoed from above.
"Long gone are the days when you could trim my Susanoo's toenails, Nagato."
It was Mirai's mocking tone.
Nagato gritted his teeth and growled, "Let's see how long you can keep up that arrogance!"
With that, he intensified the absorption process, drawing in chakra even faster.
As he felt the immense chakra within Susanoo, a flicker of unease passed through him.
Just how much chakra does it take to maintain a fully formed Susanoo?
If not for Hashirama's cells, the sheer volume of chakra he was absorbing might have ruptured his body.
Just how terrifying is Mirai's chakra reserve?!
Yet Mirai merely let out a cold snort, channeling the power of the Dragon Vein within him.
Natural energy merged with his chakra, transforming into Senjutsu Chakra, which surged into Susanoo.
Nagato immediately sensed something was wrong.
His body stiffened, an unfamiliar and primal force rampaging within him, threatening to tear his insides apart!
"No! I can't absorb this any longer!"
He quickly abandoned the technique and instead focused on suppressing the raging energy inside him.
It took him several long moments to expel the violent force from his body.
However, even though it was gone, the damage was real—his limbs ached as if they had been torn apart.
If not for his formidable physique, his body might have been reduced to a battered husk.
"Damn it!"
Realizing that chakra absorption wasn't an option, Nagato had no choice but to fight head-on.
He shot into the sky, raising an arm toward Mirai.
"Super Shinra Tensei!"
A repulsive force, many times stronger than before, exploded outward from Nagato.
In response, Mirai also raised an arm.
"Super Shinra Tensei!"
Boom!
The two devastating forces collided, distorting space itself.
Everything caught in the middle was obliterated in an instant.
A sharp, grating noise filled the air as the sheer pressure twisted Nagato's expression in pain.
"I won't lose!" he roared.
But his defiance meant nothing.
In less than a second, his Shinra Tensei was completely overwhelmed by Mirai's.
A tremendous force sent Nagato flying thousands of meters away.
Boom!
His body slammed into the ground, kicking up a massive cloud of dust.
From beneath the rubble, Nagato's hands suddenly shot out, forming a black chakra sphere that rocketed into the sky.
As the sphere emitted a powerful gravitational pull, the earth below cracked and shattered.
Countless stones were wrenched from the ground, drawn toward the sphere and fusing into it.
Nagato struggled to his feet, panting heavily, his face even paler than before.
The Chibaku Tensei had almost drained him completely.
This level of sealing jutsu should be enough to imprison that damn Susanoo along with Uchiha Mirai!
As he watched anxiously, Mirai raised his hand, conjuring a black chakra sphere of his own.
"Sage Art!"
Without needing to aim, the sheer gravitational pull of Chibaku Tensei guided Mirai's technique straight toward it.
A blinding white light erupted.
For a brief moment, the world fell silent.
Then—
Boom!
A colossal mushroom cloud engulfed everything within several kilometers.
A massive shockwave ripped through the land, reducing Amegakure to ruins in an instant.
Even those who had fled far away were not spared. Many Ame-nin were obliterated by the sheer force, their bodies crushed by the pressure.
Rumble!
Seconds later, the deafening explosion echoed across the heavens.
Dust, wind, debris—
A scene straight out of the apocalypse unfolded in Amegakure.
Even Black Zetsu, hidden in the shadows, felt a shiver run down his spine.
This level of combat power… It was on par with the battle between Kaguya and her two rebellious sons.
"Guh—!"
Nagato coughed up blood, despair filling his eyes.
He knew Mirai was strong—but never imagined he would be this strong.
He had used everything he had, yet Mirai made it seem effortless…
"So this is the so-called power of a god?" Mirai sneered.
Nagato stared at his trembling hands.
Was he really not the savior of the shinobi world?
No… he refused to believe it!
"Nagato, it's too soon to give up."
A voice whispered beside his ear.
Suddenly, a white humanoid creature emerged from the ground, wrapping itself around him.
Nagato's dazed eyes flickered with confusion.
"What… are you?"
"I'm Tobi."
Before he could react, the white creature had completely enveloped him.
Nagato felt a sudden surge of power coursing through his veins.
With his Rinnegan, the Four-Tails' chakra, Hashirama's cells, and his Uzumaki bloodline…
An indescribable force filled him with shock.
At this moment, he felt as though he could utterly dominate his former self!
Tobi…
Was this Zetsu's power?
"In a moment, I will unleash all of your strength. Do not resist."
"Against a monster like Uchiha Mirai, we only have one chance."
"Our combined strength is the only way to defeat him."
Hearing Tobi's instructions, Nagato silently nodded.
He would not accept defeat.
As long as he still had power left within him—
He would fight to the bitter end!
No regrets!
