"Be grateful, kid, grateful that I spared your life," Rhode's deep voice echoed behind Accelerator. Accelerator, whose eyes were bloodshot, let out a roar like a Vicious Beast, and the black wings surging behind him wildly intertwined and converged, transforming into a dark black destructive Dragon tornado that swept towards Rhode, threatening to devour him!
In an instant, the terrifying power of those black wings pierced through the scorched earth, once again creating an abyss with a diameter of about a thousand meters in this scarred land.
Rhode's figure flashed in front of Accelerator.
Accelerator looked at Rhode, muttering incomprehensible words. The black wings condensed into solid black feathers, which were then shot out like Gatling gun fire, attacking Rhode.
Facing this torrential offensive, Rhode slightly raised his right hand, and a door as black as ink appeared out of thin air before him. All the incoming black feathers vanished into it.
Immediately after, the same door reappeared to Rhode's side—the black feathers that had been swallowed earlier burst out from it, precisely meeting Accelerator's newly shot feathers! A fierce collision exploded in the air. (Counterattack, hahaha).
"Myriad Forms." Rhode clasped his hands together, forming an Pictographic hand gesture. A thousand meters above, a colossal shadow instantly solidified from nothing, revealing a gigantic elephant, a hundred meters long! Thousands of tons of weight, coupled with the terrifying acceleration of freefall, crashed down with the force to destroy everything!
Accelerator barely managed to rapidly retract his scattered black wings, tightly wrapping himself to form an all-encompassing defensive barrier.
Boom—!!!
A thunderous roar, like the sky and earth collapsing, shook the surroundings! The giant elephant, falling from high altitude, slammed heavily into the ground, and the terrifying impact instantly tore the earth apart, with giant, spiderweb-like cracks spreading wildly.
Accelerator's figure was violently smashed to the bottom of the abyss by this immense force.
Rhode stood at the edge of the abyss, looking down, and suddenly noticed an anomaly in the surrounding space—gravity was being rapidly distorted and intensified! The gravitational field within a hundred meters was forcibly altered by Accelerator, and the ground beneath his feet, unable to bear the weight, began to collapse downwards.
Rhode's lips curved into a wild smile, and he offered no resistance, allowing his body to slide down into the abyss with the collapsing earth and rocks.
"Excellent! Excellent! Struggle to your utmost until the very end, Accelerator…" Unrestrained laughter echoed in the abyss.
His response was an even more violent black-winged tornado rising from the bottom of the abyss! It came rushing towards him with the might to devour everything!
Just as the black tornado was about to engulf Rhode, time seemed to freeze! Rhode's lips curved into a mad smile, his palms suddenly clasped together, his middle and ring fingers raised, and his index and pinky fingers joined together into his palm—the Yama Ten Seal, complete!
A deep, magnetic voice, as if from the depths of the Nine Hells, clearly resounded in the dark abyss:
"Domain Expansion!"
A terrifying roar, like an ancient abyssal Vicious Beast breaking free from its shackles, echoed through the abyss! Countless eerie skeletons emerged from behind Rhode, spreading and instantly enveloping the entire space! A chilling tremor, originating from the deepest part of the Soul, swept over, and even Accelerator, who was in a state of madness, couldn't help but tremble violently!
"Malevolent Shrine!"
Rhode's Domain, Malevolent Shrine, is different from other Domains. It does not separate space with a barrier, nor does it close the barrier and manifest a born Domain.
It's like painting directly on the sky without using a canvas.
It can be called a divine skill!
Coupled with the 'binding' that gives the opponent an escape route, which then increases the sure-hit range effect, it can reach a maximum radius of five hundred meters (Note: The original Sukuna's maximum radius was two hundred meters. Since Rhode's current attributes surpass a max-level Sukuna Panel, almost equivalent to two times a peak Sukuna, his Item will naturally increase according to his physical attributes. For a detailed comparison, see Chapters Two and Six.)
The Cutting Technique is divided into two types: within the sure-hit range, 'Hachi' is used for targets containing Curse Power, and 'Kai' is used for targets without Curse Power. Wave after wave of attacks are launched endlessly until Malevolent Shrine disappears.
A crimson light suddenly bloomed, then instantly contracted and collapsed to a single point—
Boom!!!!
A powerful explosion shockwave erupted! Centered on Rhode, within a radius of five hundred meters, countless invisible slashes, like a tide of death, erupted indiscriminately and endlessly! The black-winged tornado that came rushing forward was cut and pulverized the moment it encountered the slashes, until it turned into the smallest particles and completely dissipated!
From the very bottom of the abyss came Accelerator's heart-wrenching, inhuman, and mournful wail! Five seconds, just five seconds! The wailing quickly weakened, almost to nothing.
As Rhode's foot touched the ground, he saw Accelerator, completely unrecognizable, with bare white bones exposed and no complete flesh, like a dried corpse from a horror movie.
Looking at Accelerator in such a miserable state, Rhode's mind, however, wondered if he could be saved if he were sent to Dr. Meito Ansei in this condition.
"Well, after all, I have to keep my word." Pulling his wandering thoughts back, he bent down and placed his palm on Accelerator's dilapidated head.
Reversal Technique activated, and in an instant, flesh began to condense on the white bones, blood flowed back, and the almost-disappearing breathing reappeared.
"Hmph~ So it really is a girl." Gazing at the young girl's pale body, Rhode couldn't help but exclaim as he saw Accelerator's smooth lower region.
Looking at the individual who had a 'landing strip' at such a young age, Rhode let out a soft 'heh'.
The clothes, of course, were completely shredded the moment Malevolent Shrine expanded. It was already difficult for Level 5 Vector Manipulation to keep Accelerator's body 'intact'.
"Ding, congratulations to the host for defeating 'Accelerator (Black Wings)', acquiring Item: Idle Transfiguration."
The mechanical voice of the System that emerged from his mind caused Rhode to pause slightly. He stroked his chin and muttered to himself,
"Defeating a plot character can earn rewards, so why was there no reward for defeating Misaka Mikoto?"
Suddenly noticing 'Accelerator (Black Wings)' on the Panel, a light bulb seemed to go off in his head, and he suddenly realized,
"Oh! Perhaps Accelerator's black-winged state barely meets the reward threshold, and as for Misaka Mikoto, she doesn't even qualify as a defeated target."
Rhode, explaining it to himself, was naturally very satisfied with the newly acquired Idle Transfiguration, which is the Item of Immortal Master, the most potent among the four great disaster Curse Spirits.
Immortal Master believes that the Soul is born before the body, and the shape of the body is influenced by the shape of the Soul. Immortal Master's Item allows him to touch and change the shape of the Soul, thereby achieving the effect of modifying the body. In battle, Immortal Master uses his Item to forcibly maintain the shape of his Soul, so no matter what kind of damage Immortal Master's body sustains, it will return to its original state under the guidance of his Soul. This makes attacks targeting the body meaningless to Immortal Master; only attacks targeting his Soul can truly harm Immortal Master.
It seems he can now be immune to physical attacks, and incidentally, he has also become the strongest healer in this world. The body can be repaired with Reversal Technique, and the Soul can be repaired with Idle Transfiguration. Now Rhode can confidently say to Dr. Meito Ansei, 'Who do you think I am?'
He glanced at Accelerator, who was still in a comatose state. The physical repairs were complete, but the mental trauma needed time to heal. Unfortunately, Idle Transfiguration doesn't work for soothing the mind.
He casually took a blanket from the Shadow Law space and covered Accelerator, wrapping him like a zongzi, then Rhode headed towards a certain Hospital.
