Immediately after, streams of deep purple Dragon Vein chakra shot toward Anrokuzan like a dense rain of arrows.
A shocking scene followed. Anrokuzan's body, which had just been cut in half at the waist, began to heal rapidly as if time itself were flowing backward.
The severed puppet parts regrew and reconnected at a speed visible to the naked eye. In the blink of an eye, he was fully restored, as though the one who had been cut in half moments ago was not him at all.
Rengoku stared intently at the runes constantly surging across Anrokuzan's body as he recovered, silently thinking to himself:
'He absorbed the rune seals used to suppress the Dragon Vein into his own body, so that's how he can freely use the Dragon Vein's power to repair his injuries.'
With his profound mastery of sealing techniques, Rengoku saw through Anrokuzan's secret after only a brief observation and understood why he could recover so quickly.
Thinking this, Rengoku did not hesitate. He controlled Susano and once again swung his blade fiercely at Anrokuzan.
A flash of cold light passed by as the blade in Susano's hand slammed down hard onto Anrokuzan's puppet body, instantly carving out a massive, shocking gash.
But compared to before, the power of this strike was clearly much weaker.
It was not that Rengoku's strength had declined, but rather that Anrokuzan's puppet body, after absorbing the Dragon Vein's power, had become far tougher and stronger, with a greatly increased resistance to attacks.
Moreover, the puppet body under Anrokuzan's control was continuously receiving energy poured in from the Dragon Vein, causing its size to keep swelling and expanding.
"Wahahahaha!"
Anrokuzan laughed wildly.
"I am an invincible existence! The entire ninja world will be ruled by me!"
At this moment, he was clearly completely immersed in the immense power granted by the Dragon Vein, unable to pull himself out, his mindset thoroughly twisted.
His body suddenly thrust upward, shooting straight into the air like a pillar holding up the sky.
The plaza above was instantly punched open with an enormous hole.
Carried by this impact, Anrokuzan's body continued to grow crazily.
In the blink of an eye, he had reached a terrifying height of eighty meters, becoming a true monstrous behemoth.
At the same time, Rengoku noticed that Minato and the others had successfully rescued all the trapped slaves and safely withdrawn from the battlefield.
Seeing this, he nodded in satisfaction.
Right after that, his Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan suddenly began to spin rapidly.
A vast and surging torrent of pupil power and chakra burst out from his eyes like floodwaters breaking through a dam.
Minato and the others, who had just barely escaped the combat zone, instantly felt as though a massive mountain had pressed down on their bodies, making every movement extremely difficult.
Inside Naruto, the Nine-Tails was especially terrified and screamed out in panic, ["How is this possible? How can there be such horrifying pupil power in this world!"]
The Nine-Tails' eyes were filled with fear, with even bloodshot veins clearly visible.
The overwhelming pupil power and chakra released by Rengoku seemed to stir up some unbearable, painful memories within it, plunging it into extreme terror.
Just then, a deafening roar rang out.
At the same moment, the ground began to shake violently.
Immediately afterward, a figure more than two hundred meters tall, like a god, slowly rose up from beneath the earth.
This godlike being was shrouded from head to toe in eerie, profound black light, as if even light itself were being drawn in.
With his appearance, an indescribable pressure surged forth like a tidal wave, instantly enveloping Minato and the others.
They felt as though a thousand-jin boulder was crushing their chests, making it almost impossible to breathe.
Even Anrokuzan, who had always thought highly of himself, could not help but stare in a daze.
After all, the puppet body he was so proud of was only eighty meters tall.
Compared to the colossal existence before him, it was nothing more than an insignificant dwarf standing beside a giant.
The god named Rengoku slowly raised his enormous hand, like that of a celestial titan, and slammed it downward with overwhelming force.
The palm wind roared past, stirring up violent air currents. The surrounding air was compressed until it let out sharp, piercing shrieks.
"No! Impossible!"
Anrokuzan screamed in utter terror, his voice filled with despair and unwillingness.
He flailed his arms wildly, trying to block this world-shattering strike with his own hands.
But everything was futile.
Accompanied by a deafening, heavy boom.
BANG!
Anrokuzan's raised hands were the first to collapse under the terrifying impact, shattering instantly.
The immense force then spread rapidly along his arms and through his entire body.
His body exploded as if an extremely powerful bomb had detonated inside it.
In an instant, Anrokuzan's puppet body completely collapsed and disintegrated, blasting fragments in all directions.
Huge chunks of wreckage crashed to the ground like artillery shells, kicking up clouds of dust.
Anrokuzan, heavily injured, was covered in broken puppet fragments.
He slammed hard into the ground, yet still refused to give up, screaming madly at the top of his lungs, "I AM IMMORTAL! I AM IMMORTAL! AAAAAAAH!"
At the same time, from the tall buildings all across Roran, streams of brilliantly colored Dragon Vein energy shot out one after another.
These energies converged on Anrokuzan's body.
Nourished by the Dragon Vein energy, his shattered body began to recover at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Rengoku's eyes turned cold. He swung his arm again, and another heavy, forceful slap came whistling down.
BANG!
This time, Anrokuzan did not even have the chance to raise a defense.
Like a cannonball, he was smashed straight into the ground, forcibly creating a deep crater.
At this moment, Rengoku dispelled his Susano form. His body moved like a light bird as he leapt down from midair.
When he landed steadily beside Anrokuzan, the body that had just suffered devastating damage was already nearly halfway repaired.
Yet despite his rapid recovery, when Anrokuzan looked at Rengoku before him, his heart was filled with fear and unwillingness. Putting on a fierce front to hide his weakness, he roared at Rengoku, "Don't even think about killing me! Let me tell you, I am someone who possesses Dragon Vein chakra. I will never die."
