"Shinra Tensei!!!"
The moment White Zetsu neared, Yahiko unleashed a powerful repulsive force.
The air visibly warped and blasted outward, forming a semi-circular shockwave centered around him.
Two forces—one pulling, one pushing—slammed into White Zetsu's body at once.
Even with the dragon scales offering immense protection, they still had their limits.
His internal organs were crushed by the pressure.
With a thunderous crash, his body was hurled hundreds of meters away.
BOOOOOM!!!
The calm sea exploded into towering waves, as if pushed by an invisible giant hand.
Gale winds howled.
Shockwaves rampaged across the ocean.
Yahiko panted slightly.
That Shinra Tensei had drained him—he'd pushed his chakra to the limit, minimizing preparation time while maximizing power.
It wasn't as destructive as the Super Shinra Tensei, but its strength was still formidable.
One look at the tsunami rising in the aftermath was proof enough.
Yet... as they watched White Zetsu emerge once again from the raging sea,
Nagato's heart slowly sank.
"Even Shinra Tensei doesn't work on him?" Nagato was slightly stunned.
But something even more shocking happened in the next instant.
White Zetsu's face twisted into a feral snarl, his voice roaring with rage, "Fine! I wasn't planning to use this move, but you forced me!!!"
Konan's pupils shrank. She immediately shouted, "Nagato! Use the charm I gave you—now!"
Far off in the distance, Nagato didn't fully understand her intent, but his instincts urged him to obey. He crushed the charm that Konan had given him long ago.
Crack!
As the charm shattered, a wave of clarity washed over Nagato's mind, and his soul felt shielded by a subtle protective layer.
But then, White Zetsu underwent a terrifying transformation.
His body swelled several times larger. His limbs thickened with monstrous power.
Layers of gray-white dragon scales rippled across his entire form.
From his back sprouted translucent wings, and in that moment, he resembled a fearsome ancient beast.
A terrifying dragon stood where a man had once been, raising its head and letting out a deafening roar that shook the heavens and earth.
"Is this... the Mythical Creature Form of a Spectator Pathway Beyonder?!"
Konan's eyes widened in disbelief. She stared at the monstrous dragon, whose every detail seemed to embody the essence of a god from a forgotten age, and she swallowed hard.
"Konan! Don't space out!"
A furious voice jolted her back to reality.
The monstrous dragon flapped its mighty wings, stirring up waves that tore across the sea's surface.
It sliced through the air, shattering sound barriers and releasing a thunderous boom as it charged forward.
"Shinra Tensei!"
Yahiko stepped forward alone, attempting to block the beast.
But this time, the repulsive force generated by Shinra Tensei was useless.
The barrier of pressure created by the technique was crushed inch by inch beneath the overwhelming might of the gray-white dragon.
Nagato's expression twisted in shock as he watched the wall of energy collapse under brute strength.
BOOM!!!
Yahiko was launched through the air, Shinra Tensei's repelling force rebounding entirely onto him.
He shot across the sea like a streak of light, gouging a massive trench in the ocean's surface before slamming into the cliffside. Massive boulders rained down as the mountainside crumbled.
The gray-white dragon, bearing White Zetsu's twisted face, lowered its head toward the tiny figure of Konan.
"Mind Breath."
A wave of invisible energy poured from its mouth, crashing into Konan's soul like a psychic storm.
Her mental and spiritual essence were torn asunder under the sheer force of the assault.
But just at the moment when Konan was swept by the mental storm, she revealed the trump card she had prepared for a long time.
"Imprison!"
The words spoken in ancient Hermetic language directly triggered the laws of heaven and earth.
Though it lasted only a brief instant, as a Sequence 4 demi-god, it was indeed restrained by that power.
The sticky, overwhelming binding force made it feel as if it was trapped inside a huge amber, like a bug imprisoned layer by layer within.
At that moment, a figure suddenly appeared and stood directly before White Zetsu.
That person also possessed the Rinnegan and placed their palm on the scales covered with mysterious runes: "Soul Extraction!"
Buzz!
White Zetsu's pupils suddenly contracted, showing a shocked expression.
Because its soul was truly being forcibly pulled out by that person.
Though only a small part was extracted, it was enough to shock it deeply!
"Damn, the soul is so heavy!" Human Path gasped in disbelief.
He had never encountered such a soul so difficult to pull out of the body.
Compared to that, he felt like a tiny ant trying to drag a huge boulder weighing hundreds of pounds!
"Don't even think about it!!!"
Previously, White Zetsu was still toying with them.
But now, it was truly panicking.
It hadn't expected the power of the Rinnegan could actually tear out a soul!
If the soul was truly pulled out, even a Sequence 4 demi-god would inevitably face death!
The mysterious runes engraved on White Zetsu's scales radiated intense light.
The soul that the Human Path had just pulled was immediately sucked back in!
At the same time, the binding power arranged around began to crack under White Zetsu's violent struggle.
"Universal Pull!"
Nagato went all out, regardless of whether his body could withstand it.
His palms gathered tremendous gravitational force, fixing the struggling dragon in midair.
But unfortunately, his effort was ultimately in vain!
White Zetsu easily broke free from the restraint and crushed the Path of Humanity without hesitation.
Its enormous spiritual power was like thunder and a world-ending tsunami, even affecting his island of consciousness.
"Failed?"
Yahiko's pupils contracted slightly, revealing a look of despair.
"No wonder so many people have the Rinnegan."
White Zetsu, filled with rage, expanded his mind domain wildly and directly perceived the truth:
"So they're all corpses. It seems your true body must be hiding not far from here."
"In that case, there's only one move left!"
Several kilometers away, Nagato resolutely brought his palms together, gathering chakra into a single point.
"Nagato, blast him into the water!"
Konan's voice suddenly rang out.
Though Nagato was focusing chakra, he still controlled Yahiko's movements, using the Almighty Pull to drag White Zetsu toward the surface of the water.
"You two really think you can kill me?!"
White Zetsu sneered coldly. As he raised his head, his vast mental power was about to be unleashed in a breath.
"You're wrong, White Zetsu!"
Konan stood on the turbulent sea, spreading her arms wide. "To kill you, I've prepared six hundred billion explosive tags, waiting for this very moment!"
In the next instant, the raging sea parted, revealing an abyss-like chasm, bottomless and unfathomable.
What even terrified White Zetsu was that countless explosive tags were buried inside, so densely packed they seemed to fill mountains and seas.
"White Zetsu, this is the grave I've prepared for you!"
Konan formed hand seals with both hands, giving White Zetsu no chance to escape. "Six hundred billion explosive tags, combined with the ninjutsu: Mutually Multiplying Explosive Tags!"
"No!!!"
White Zetsu's pupils shrank violently.
He saw the countless explosive tags ignite, then use summoning tags to detonate other tags.
Just imagine, six hundred billion explosive tags, multiplied infinitely by the summoning technique—what would be the result?
The answer is... enough to slay a god!!!
