Inside the Barrier, it had become an independent battlefield.
Yamata no Orochi seemed enraged by the Barrier trapping it. Its eight massive snake heads let out a deafening roar in unison, dark purple destructive energy condensing in their mouths before being unleashed toward Toho Hiroshi in the center!
Wherever the torrent of energy passed, space twisted, and all things were annihilated.
"Susanoo."
The Dōjutsu Power in Toho Hiroshi's Rinnegan surged, and a vast amount of Cursed Energy erupted into the sky, instantly constructing a Complete Body Susanoo as towering as a mountain.
This Susanoo was clad in Tengu armor, sprouted wings from its back, and held a massive spiral longsword, radiating a pressure like a deity, not in the least inferior to the ancient ferocious god opposite it.
The Complete Body Susanoo swung its spiral longsword, the sword light tearing through space as it collided violently with the eight torrents of dark purple energy!
Rumble—
A terrifying explosion echoed within the Barrier, and the energy shockwave spread like a tsunami, leveling the remaining surface within the Barrier once more, instantly turning the Cursed Spirits caught in the blast into dust.
The first clash was evenly matched!
But Toho Hiroshi's brow furrowed slightly.
His Rinnegan's insight allowed him to see an anomaly.
The Complete Body Susanoo's slashes had clearly left massive wounds deep enough to see bone on all eight snake heads, even nearly severing two of them.
However, dark purple light flowed rapidly at the wounds, and granulation tissue writhed and intertwined at a speed visible to the naked eye. In almost the blink of an eye, those terrible wounds were restored to their original state, not even a single scale having fallen off.
"Super speed regeneration?"
Toho Hiroshi's heart tightened.
The battle continued.
The Complete Body Susanoo flapped its wings, moving with the agility of the wind to avoid subsequent energy blasts, and swung its spiral longsword toward the snake heads once more with an aura that could tear through everything.
Sword light flashed like thunder!
Slash after slash, the snake heads were split open and pierced, and he even utilized Yasaka Magatama for long-range bombardment.
However, no matter how severe the damage, Yamata no Orochi could always recover instantly; its regenerative ability seemed to have no limit.
What shocked Toho Hiroshi even more was his keen realization that as the same slashes and Yasaka Magatama landed on the same snake heads repeatedly, the damage seemed to be diminishing.
The slashes that could initially split through most of the bone could later only leave deep marks, and later still, it even required multiple slashes on the same spot to break through the defense.
"It's not just regeneration... It is constantly adapting and evolving during the battle, developing extremely high resistance to the attacks it has endured!"
Toho Hiroshi's heart sank.
If this continued, even if his Dōjutsu Power and Cursed Energy were nearly infinite, he would be worn down to death by this monster that possessed immortal characteristics and was constantly evolving.
He had to kill it in one strike, using absolute power far exceeding its adaptability and regenerative limits to annihilate it completely.
"It seems I can no longer hold back."
Toho Hiroshi took a deep breath, a flash of determination in his eyes.
He pressed his hands together in front of his chest, and the skin on his forehead split slightly, revealing his third eye—the Nine Tomoe Rinnegan.
"Haa—!"
Accompanied by a low roar, the form of the Complete Body Susanoo underwent another drastic change.
It became even more massive, more solid, and more majestic!
Mysterious Magatama and Rinnegan patterns appeared on the armor, the wings on its back seemed to be made of pure energy feathers, and the spiral longsword in its hand transformed into a massive katana wreathed in black lightning.
Ultimate Susanoo!
This was the final form of Susanoo that Toho Hiroshi could achieve after fusing the power of the Ten-Tails, the Six Paths, and the ultimate Dōjutsu Power of the Rinnegan!
The moment the Ultimate Susanoo appeared, the entire Six Red Yang Formation Barrier began to tremble violently, as if unable to bear the weight of its existence.
For the first time, the eight pairs of dark golden vertical pupils of Yamata no Orochi revealed gravity and a trace of instinctual unease!
It felt a fatal threat!
The eight snake heads held nothing back, simultaneously spewing their most core source of Curse power. Eight dark purple beams of light fused into a world-destroying torrent, launching an attack first!
Toho Hiroshi, controlling the Ultimate Susanoo, did not meet it head-on.
The Ultimate Susanoo's massive wings unfurled, drawing upon the natural energy within the entire Barrier!
Rumble—
Outside, even through the Six Red Yang Formation, the sky instantly clouded over. Thousands of feet of thunder gathered frantically as if summoned, penetrating the Barrier and being completely absorbed by the Ultimate Susanoo.
The black lightning wreathed around the katana expanded instantly, transforming into a spear of thunderous light that pierced heaven and earth.
The thunder contained the Six Paths of Yin and Yang, radiating a supreme aura where both ending and creation coexisted.
"Maximum Technique · Secret Art—"
Toho Hiroshi's voice rang out through the Ultimate Susanoo like the declaration of a deity, echoing throughout the entire Barrier space.
"Six Paths · Indra's Arrow!"
The Ultimate Susanoo fired the spear of thunderous light, which had absorbed the massive thunder and the power of the Six Paths, toward Yamata no Orochi like a fully drawn bowstring!
Wherever Indra's Arrow passed, space did not merely twist; it shattered inch by inch like a mirror, revealing the nothingness behind it.
Time seemed to stand still at this moment; only that streak of lightning, representing ultimate destruction, became the only thing in the world.
Yamata no Orochi's breath, fused with its eight great source Curse powers, was like ice meeting the scorching sun before Indra's Arrow; it was instantly evaporated and pierced through.
The next moment—
Indra's Arrow struck the core of Yamata no Orochi's massive body with precision.
Absolute "Annihilation."
With the impact point as the center, the thunderous light spread rapidly and silently. Yamata no Orochi's incredibly hard scales, flesh, and bones—which had been able to resist the slashes of the Complete Body Susanoo—turned into the most basic particles the moment they touched the thunderous light, vanishing into nothingness.
Its pride-worthy super speed regeneration and evolutionary adaptability lost all meaning in the face of this absolute power that transcended all limits.
The eight massive snake heads maintained expressions of shock and fear, and along with its mountain-like body, were completely swallowed and erased by the thunderous light in less than a second.
It was as if it had never existed in this world.
The thunderous light dissipated, leaving only nothingness within the Barrier.
Only Toho Hiroshi remained suspended in the air. The Ultimate Susanoo slowly dissipated, and the Nine Tomoe Rinnegan on his forehead quietly closed. A trace of relaxation appeared on his face, though his gaze remained sharp.
The Six Red Yang Formation, having lost the support of the internal impact, slowly dissipated as well.
Outside, Satoru Gojo, Suguru Geto, Yuta Okkotsu, and the others, who had been standing by in full readiness, saw only the area of nothingness that seemed to have been completely "wiped clean" after the dark red Barrier faded, along with Toho Hiroshi standing alone in the center of the void, his white hair flying.
In the air, the terrifyingly peerless aura of Yamata no Orochi's Cursed Energy could no longer be felt at all.
The battle had ended.
Satoru Gojo pushed up his sunglasses, the corners of his mouth curling into an arc: "It seems we don't need to intervene."
Suguru Geto looked at t
he space that had been completely annihilated, sighed softly, and then revealed a relieved smile.
The crisis in Kyoto had been resolved.
