Chapter 573 - Chapter 571: Demanding Wages with Malice

Aizen didn't react much to the destruction of the pirated Allied Ninja Forces. Instead, he looked on with interest. "Indeed, manifesting these low-grade ninjas is ultimately useless. Now let's try my cosmic fleet!" 

Countless massive steel warships floated in the air, their surfaces gleaming coldly like star-born beasts. 

In the next moment, these beasts opened their terrifying mouths, unleashing countless shells and beams of light that engulfed Seiki. 

Some stray beams swept across the ground, instantly reducing mountains to dust and carving deep canyons into the earth. 

The Allied Forces scrambled desperately to escape, momentarily feeling as though the apocalypse had arrived. 

"What in the world are these things? They're terrifying!" 

"Could he be imagining all this?" 

"Is this technology from an alien world? How could he possibly know..." Hagoromo muttered, before suddenly understanding. "It must be from Isshiki otsutsuki's memories!" 

Amidst this devastating bombardment, Seiki charged forward while enduring the attacks, landing a punch that instantly destroyed one warship. 

The remaining ships quickly turned their cannons, targeting him anew. 

Yet these attacks, capable of obliterating mountains and tearing through the earth, only caused Seiki to sway slightly. 

Everyone stared in disbelief—what exactly was Lord Seiki made of? How could his body be this tough? 

He was the real 'Steel Man'! 

"I should probably be able to withstand the Eight Gates now," Seiki thought to himself as he obliterated the surrounding warships. 

However, as soon as he destroyed the fleet, dozens of massive mechanized bodies suddenly appeared around him. 

Gundam, monsters, Ultramen... one fantasy being after another was manifested by Aizen to fight for him. 

Seeing these endless waves of attacks, the Allied Forces had already gone numb. 

They once thought poverty was the only thing limiting their imagination. Now they realized the truth: they just didn't have any imagination to begin with. 

After tearing apart another monster, Seiki hovered midair, gazing toward the Galaxy Aizen held in his hand. "Even you can't possibly use this incredible power limitlessly. You're able to do this because of that artifact you're holding, right? Moreover, it seems you're using me to wear down the residual willpower within it!" 

"Finally noticed, huh?" Aizen smiled. "Just like how one should wash a newly-bought piece of clothing first, this Hollow Orb has been polished thanks to you!" 

"You truly are a man who schemed against two worlds!" Seiki sincerely praised him. Then, amid his own proud thought of "I'm awesome," he suddenly shifted tone. "But I've never been one to work for free. As payment for my efforts, hand over half the Hollow Orb as you promised!" 

Aizen smiled faintly. "I'm afraid I'm just the opposite. I've never had the habit of paying wages. If you insist on demanding your pay with ill intent, then I'll have no choice but to make you work until you die!" 

"Such darkness cannot exist beneath the glorious light of the sun!" Seiki radiated infinite light and heat like the sun itself, dazzling everyone until they couldn't open their eyes.

[Solar Fist!] 

Everyone tightly shut their eyes, with only a few sensor-type ninjas able to sense two immense chakra presences colliding within the radiant sea of light above.

"Trying to block my vision? Too bad—this technique is utterly useless against me!" Aizen theatrically proclaimed from the sky.

"I naturally understand that blinding you isn't particularly effective, but believe me, this move has far more purpose than you think!" Seiki earnestly explained while fighting.

The radiant sea of light enveloping the sky suddenly surged. Each beam transformed into a Seiki clone, simultaneously unleashing hundreds of thousands of punches at Aizen.

Though Aizen's physical strength was far below his original form's level, Seiki deliberately held back, skillfully directing most of the attacks into shockwaves sliding toward the ground. The actual force landing on Aizen was less than a tenth.

Their teamwork was flawless. With the interference of light source pollution, no one could see through the deception. Even Hagoromo, standing within the gap between two worlds, couldn't see clearly and was secretly stunned, thinking: "They've advanced remarkably far along paths beyond chakra. If they could absorb the Ten-Tails, they might even surpass my prime form!"

Although the battle took place thousands of meters high in the sky, the scattered shockwaves were powerful enough to collapse the earth itself. The land, already ravaged by Madara and Kaguya, now faced destruction once again!

The once-flat plains and gentle hills had been reduced to jagged cliffs and deep canyons, forming an extremely treacherous terrain.

The Allied Forces scattered in disarray, squinting in panic, no longer daring to watch the fight.

"How long will they keep fighting? Until the end of the world?"

"The end of the world? That's exactly what this already is!"

When the performance seemed sufficient, Seiki reclaimed the sea of light into himself. After another intense collision, both were suddenly sent flying backward.

Seiki gravely remarked, "Your taijutsu is indeed impressive, but still slightly inferior to mine."

Aizen smiled helplessly, "I have no choice. This world lacks a sword strong enough to contain my power!"

"Still, I have this..." Aizen raised the Hollow Orb, preparing to absorb its power.

But as he was about to consume it, a few glimmers of light flickered across the galaxy, momentarily freezing his body.

Seizing the opening, Seiki lunged forward to grab the Hollow Orb.

Though Aizen quickly regained control and broke free, it was already too late to protect the Hollow Orb. Seiki crushed it decisively in his hands!

Before the astonished gazes of the crowd, both seized half of the Hollow Orb.

Seiki softly smiled, "Looks like I just screwed the system to get what was mine!"

Aizen wasn't angry. Instead, after a moment of thought, he asked, "While I was plotting against you, were you plotting against me too?"

Shaking his head slightly, Seiki deliberately "explained," "Isshiki Otsutsuki consumed Truth-Seeking Balls containing Shisui's eyes. Normally, Shisui's oculomancy should never have affected him. Yet you used my hands to refine the residual will within the Hollow Orb, giving me the chance to activate the ocular power!"

"Lo and behold—victory and defeat both ride on one man's back!" Aizen sighed dramatically before gradually fading away. "This time I've lost a round, but soon I'll return for revenge in that world!"

With those words, his figure completely vanished.

"It seems the Sage Hagoromo didn't see through my act!"

Seiki muttered to himself, descending.

Seeing the battle had ended, the Allied Forces were practically moved to tears with joy.

"Finally over!"

"Is the war really ending?"

But some still harbored fears. "First Obito and Madara, then Isshiki and Kaguya, finally Aizen. Hopefully no more enemies will show up, right?"

"One more villain shows up and I'll drop dead on the spot!"

Little wonder they felt that way. These villains had been too terrifying, appearing one after another with strength surpassing the last.

Previously, they thought the Five Great Hidden Villages were the world's main protagonists. But now, they couldn't even qualify as supporting characters.

Just like their role in this war—mere spectators!
