A massive Conqueror's Haki hand slammed heavily into the giant meteor summoned by the Six Paths Sage.
"The moon, huh…"
"I would like to see whether your moon is stronger, or my Conqueror's Haki."
Ashveil's lips curved slightly. With his Infinite Conqueror's Haki fully activated, he was countless times stronger than he had been during his battle with Imu. At this level, he truly could shatter a moon with a single strike.
The Six Paths Sage looked at Ashveil with faint disdain.
This technique was the strongest among all his Ninjutsu.
It was specifically created to deal with god-level beings.
It was the perfect answer to an existence like Ashveil.
Even if he could not kill him outright, he could at least seal him within the moon forever.
The Naruto World fell into collective shock.
At this moment, nearly everyone believed this Ninjutsu would finally defeat Ashveil.
After all, this was a moon, a celestial body equivalent to a small planet. Who could possibly resist such overwhelming power?
Even the Pirate World was no longer calm.
Golden Lion Shiki's eyes were bloodshot with tension.
He himself possessed the Float-Float Fruit, yet even he could not lift something of this scale with ease.
Yet the Six Paths Sage had achieved this purely through gravity.
The difference was terrifying.
Whitebeard Edward Newgate was deeply shaken as well.
Even with the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, he knew that shattering something like a moon was beyond his reach.
If this power were refined even further, it truly could create or reshape an entire world.
The so-called god of the Shinobi World was indeed no ordinary being.
Even Hawkeye Mihawk felt his heart tighten.
Even as the World's Greatest Swordsman, he knew that cutting through a moon was impossible.
"Is that similar to Fujitora's power, yet taken to such an extreme?" Mihawk muttered.
"Are there really heights like Ashveil's that can still be reached…"
On the Marine side, shock spread without restraint.
Garp clenched his fists tightly.
"Even if I smashed eight mountains in a row, what would that mean in front of this?"
"To raise gravity to this level is nothing short of terrifying."
Sengoku narrowed his eyes.
"Can Ashveil truly withstand this?"
Kaido and Big Mom were both drenched in cold sweat.
If they were the ones facing that falling moon, resistance would be impossible.
Even their monstrous bodies would be no different from ants before such a calamity.
If anyone in this world could endure it, that person could only be Ashveil.
High above, the massive Conqueror's Haki hand condensed further, glowing with seven-colored light.
The Pirate World stirred in stunned excitement.
"Seven-colored Conqueror's Haki? I have never seen anything like this before," Mihawk said quietly.
Whitebeard's pupils trembled.
"This is even more terrifying than the golden Conqueror's Haki from before."
Marco leapt up in shock.
"This means Ashveil's Conqueror's Haki has evolved again."
Kaido and Big Mom swallowed hard.
After defeating Imu, he had grown even stronger.
They could not help but feel grateful that Ashveil had shown no interest in killing them back then.
Otherwise, they would have died countless times over.
The seven-colored Conqueror's Haki hand was already enormous, yet beside the moon it still seemed small.
Ashveil could clearly feel his own Haki being pulled by the moon's gravitational force.
"What terrifying gravity," he murmured, "but it is useless."
The seven-colored Conqueror's Haki suddenly expanded several hundred times over.
It surged upward toward the moon, carrying the very gravitational pull that tried to bind it, making the strike even faster and more violent.
The Six Paths Sage finally sensed danger.
Even Kaguya had once been dragged in by his gravity, yet Ashveil remained unmoved in midair.
Through the Rinnegan, the Six Paths Sage witnessed the strange nature of Ashveil's power.
"Such an unfamiliar energy… Is this the source of power of his world?"
Only then did he understand.
His gravity had not failed.
It was being blocked directly by Ashveil's Conqueror's Haki.
"What terrifying power," the Six Paths Sage whispered. "It can even resist gravity itself."
Before he could react further, the seven-colored Conqueror's Haki hand collided with the artificial moon.
Boom.
The sound echoed through heaven and earth.
The planetary battlefield shook violently. Mountains shattered, the seas churned, and shockwaves tore across the entire arena.
The Six Paths Sage stared upward in disbelief.
The moon he had painstakingly created… was disintegrating.
Cracks spread across its surface in an instant.
Then it shattered into countless fragments.
Silence swallowed the battlefield.
The Pirate World stood frozen.
The Shinobi World stood frozen.
The artificial moon had been destroyed by a single strike.
The Six Paths Sage closed his eyes.
Genjutsu.
It had to be Genjutsu.
There was no other explanation.
"Genjutsu Release."
"Release."
"Release!"
He formed hand seals repeatedly, yet nothing changed.
His vision did not distort, the world did not shift.
Cold fear crept into his heart.
Naruto's voice echoed in panic.
"Grandpa Six Paths, look at the sky!"
Kakashi's face was pale with sweat.
"If he does not move now, even he will be crushed!"
Gaara stared upward in disbelief.
"Even if a hundred of me used Absolute Defense at once… it would still be impossible to block that."
Above them, the shattered remains of the moon were already plunging downward like the end of the world.
Shikamaru clenched his fists.
"Even if he survives, he may be buried and sealed completely."
The Pirate World trembled with excitement.
Ashveil had destroyed a moon with one blow.
Even Imu had never done such a thing.
On the battlefield, the Six Paths Sage finally understood that this was not an illusion.
The falling fragments struck the battlefield with unstoppable force.
A colossal mountain over twenty thousand meters high formed in an instant as the debris piled together.
The entire planet shook violently.
"Is… is he sealed?" Naruto whispered.
Cracks spread rapidly across the massive mountain.
A towering Susanoo erupted from within, shattering the stone apart.
Mountain-sized rocks slid into the seas, reshaping coastlines.
Some fragments crashed into distant lands, creating new peaks.
Others formed enormous lakes where they landed.
The very geography of the world was being rewritten.
And then, another massive seven-colored Conqueror's Haki hand appeared in the sky.
It descended without mercy.
The Six Paths Sage, just emerging from the ruins, looked up in stunned horror.
Only then did he fully accept the truth.
This was not Genjutsu.
Ashveil had truly destroyed his moon.
Before he could recover, the entire sky turned dark.
The colossal hand completely covered his vision.
