After seeing all of this, Jibrael let out a sigh.

He raised his hand, and—whoosh!—a powerful barrier surrounded everyonepresent in there . Inside it, the people slowly began to heal.

Seeing this, Indra looked over at Jibrael, As Indra was calmly sitting on his throne.

Right beside him were the children of Kagami and Igami, still asleep.

Indra had put them to sleep earlier—he didn't want them to witness any of this chaos or feel the pain of the truth.

Then Indra stood up, his voice calm but firm:

"I'll fight Ashura."

Jibrael nodded.

Without saying another word, Indra started walking straight toward Ashura.

Ashura had already healed himself using Six Paths Sage Mode and was looking at Indra thinking he will Win and radiating power.And He looked around like he owned everything.

Indra stepped forward, glanced at the people inside the barrier—still unconscious, still recovering.

He clenched his fist.

Boom!

Indra punched Ashura hard.

So hard that Ashura flew out of the Ōtsutsuki compound, crashing through walls, trees, and stones.

Indra didn't want to fight in the compound.

Neither did he want to danger this place becoz in this place he Grew Up

Hagoromo stood too, now using the combined powers of his brother Hamura, the Bijū's chakra, and Nature Energy gathered for Senjutsu.

He activated one of his strongest techniques—Ryakugan, a forbidden ability that boosts his power ten times.

But as he turned to face Jibrael—

CRACK!

Zetsu appeared out of nowhere and punched Hagoromo straight in the chest.

BOOM!

The force embedded Hagoromo deep into the ground, creating a massive crater right inside the compound.

Dust exploded everywhere.

He was buried halfway into the ground, stuck in the center of the crater.

Hagoromo used all his power to block the punch, Which Worked .

He glared at Zetsu—then launched a punch straight at him.

Zetsu moved back just a little, caught himself mid-air, and smirked.

Yeah… he was going way too easy on Hagoromo.

From the throne, Kaguya, Gamamaru, and Jibrael watched silently.

There was tension in the air.

Hagoromo turned his eyes toward his mother.

He knew he could seal her if needed… but right now, the biggest threat wasn't her.

It was Jibrael. So, Hagoromo decided to handle Zetsu first. He pushed his power to the limit, trying to bind Zasu with chakra chains made up of truth Seeking Orbs while attacking.

But no matter what he did—Zetsu didn't budge.

Then Hagoromo whispered softly:

"Dragon of the Souls…"

He used his Rinnegan technique—summoning a spectral dragon made of soul energy, designed to rip the soul straight out of the body.

The glowing dragon charged at Zetsu.

But right before it hit—

Whoosh!

Zetsu raised his hand and covered it with pure nature energy, then slashed through the dragon in one clean motion.

The dragon vanished—gone—like it never existed.

Hagoromo's eyes widened.

"What!? He canceled my Rinnegan soul technique… just like that?"

He couldn't believe it.

But he kept going.

"Almighty Push!" he yelled, sending a shockwave forward.

But it didn't reach the barrier.

Jibrael, Kaguya, and Gamamaru didn't even flinch.

Meanwhile, the people inside the barrier—the ones who were waking up after losing their chakra—began to watch the battle. And when they saw Hagoromo, their eyes filled with hate.

He used to be their god.

Now he looked desperate.

Hagoromo tried harder, fighting with everything he had—but Zetsu just looked bored.

Zasu smirked and said:

"Tch. What a joke. You're supposed to be the Sage of Six Paths?"

"I didn't even need to use my Ryakugan yet." Then he added, with a mocking tone:

"Want me to show you how to really use your powers?"

He suddenly teleported right in front of Hagoromo—like a flash of thunder.

"This… is a real Almighty Push!"

BOOM!

With one blast from his palm, Zetsu smashed Hagoromo so hard he flew through several mountains, turning them into dust.

The ground shook. The sky cracked. The power was unreal.

Everyone—especially those betrayed by Hagoromo—just stared, mouths wide open.

They had seen Hagoromo take down the Ten-Tails.(Old fllower of his When he Defeat Kagya and Seal Her)

But this?

This was different.

This was true power.

And it came from just one TOUCH.

As The fight between Hagoromo and Zetsu was still going on, but now the scene shifted to Indra and Ashura.

Ashura coughed, wiping a bit of blood from his lips. That punch from Indra earlier had really hit hard—even though he healed instantly, the impact still shook him. He glared at Indra with pure hatred.

Everything was going fine. He was finally getting what he wanted—respect, love, and praise from everyone. And then Indra came and ruined it all.

Ashura's eyes burned. "You always stood in my way…"

Indra stared back, and his anger was even stronger.

"You killed Kagami and Igami. Took their wives make them carry your Child. Lied to everyone. You even made them kill their own kids. You twisted everything, Ashura," Indra said, his voice calm but filled with rage.

Ashura scoffed. "So what? Yeah, I did all that. I did what was best for me. They were too loyal to you. As long as they were around, I could never truly win. And you—" he pointed at Indra, "—you never once treated me like your superior! and those women gave them self to me happily though i manupulate hem well...IT DOES NOT MATTER"

Indra smirked coldly. "MATTER hUH And why would I Respect You ? You'll always be my little brother. That's all.and Respect is Earned not GIVEN"

In a flash, Indra disappeared—and reappeared right in front of Ashura. Ashura quickly raised a wooden dome to defend himself using his Wood Release, but—

CRACK!

Indra's fist smashed right through it like it was paper.

BOOM!

The punch connected straight to Ashura's cheek, sending him flying at least 50 meters through the compound, crashing into the wall with a loud thud.

Dust flew everywhere. The ground cracked. People inside the barrier watched in complete silence, eyes wide.

Ashura slowly got up, his face twisted with fury.

Everyone could see the fight clearly. Jibrael had used his power to project the battle like a live scene in the sky, showing everything happening between Indra and Ashura . He sat on the throne with Kaguya and Gamamaru, silently watching. The people who were knocked out before—due to the chakra absorption—had also started waking up one by one. Some were now watching everything with wide, confused eyes and Some Watching Fight Between Hagoromo and Zetsu infront of them.

But not everyone looked shocked. Kanna Ōtsutsuki, Hitomi, and Hanami… their eyes were empty—completely hollow. The more they watched, the more lifeless their expressions became. It was like the truth was killing something inside them.

Then, Ashura stood up slowly, blood dripping from the corner of his mouth. He stared straight at Indra.

And then… he used it.

A massive wave of chakra of Thruth Sseeking Orbs started forming around Ashura. A black armor-like energy began covering his body, making him look like a dark warrior god. The ground under him cracked as the power kept rising.

"I have the power of the Six Paths… a gift from my father," Ashura said coldly, glaring at Indra. "And I've surpassed you… many times over."

Indra didn't flinch. He just raised his fist with a calm expression.

Ashura charged in with full force, his black chakra glowing fiercely. Indra didn't move back. He punched straight at Ashura.

BOOM!!

Their fists clashed, and a massive shockwave exploded through the air. The ground broke apart beneath them. A huge crater formed.

But in the end… only one of them flew out of the smoke.

Ashura.

He was sent crashing through the trees, landing hard outside the the Habitable Area 15000 km Away.

Lying on the ground, Ashura gritted his teeth. What the hell…? he thought. I should be stronger…

But what he didn't realize was that when Jibrael restored Indra's chakra earlier, he had doubled—no, tripled—his power.

So even now, with all that Senjutsu and Six Paths power… Indra was still two times stronger than Ashura. And the fight… had only just begun.

Ashura clenched his teeth, frustration boiling over.

"Enough!" he shouted.

He slammed both hands together, and a glowing sphere began to form. Chakra started pulling in from all around him—wild and unstable. The ball kept growing, and inside it, dozens of Rasengan-like spirals spun wildly.

"Take this!" Ashura roared, firing the massive chakra ball straight at Indra.

Indra didn't even blink. He calmly stepped forward, eyes glowing with his Mangekyō Sharingan.

"Foool.." he whispered, activating one of his unique Mangekyō abilities: Element Control.

Then, he softly said, "Amaterasu."

Instantly, black flames burst out like shadows—silent and deadly. The huge chakra attack Ashura fired vanished in an instant, swallowed and burned by Amaterasu.

Ashura's eyes widened. "W-What?!"

He was shocked. That was one of my strongest attacks... and it just disappeared...

Grinding his teeth in anger, Ashura brought his hands together again and yelled, "Wood Golem!"

A giant wooden warrior burst out of the ground—its body now covered in glowing Truth-Seeking Orbs for defense.

But Indra just smiled.

Blue chakra flared around him like a storm. At first, it sparked like a flame… then it flashed brighter… and then, in an instant—it exploded into shape.

Susanoo.

And this Susanoo wasn't normal. It was huge. Massive. Towering over Ashura's wood golem—twice the size, at least.

Why?

Because Indra was only using his base Susanoo form right now. If he pushed more chakra into it, it would become even bigger, even more powerful. But he didn't need to.

With a calm step forward, Indra summoned a sword in his Susanoo's hand. He raised it.

And then—

SLASH!

With one clean swing, the blade cut right through Ashura's Wood Golem—even the Truth-Seeking Orbs couldn't block it.

The slash didn't stop there. It tore through the mountain behind them like it was made of paper. Dust exploded everywhere.

Everyone watching felt their hearts skip.

Some of the people were focused on Ashura vs Indra… while others were still watching Hagoromo and Zetsu battle like gods.

But now?

Everyone was speechless. Indra's power was terrifying but not on level of Red Hair Man Zetsu.

Ashura clenched his teeth and looked back at the destruction behind him. He was shocked.

How...? Indra shouldn't be this strong...

He stared at the mountain that got destroyed with just a single swing of Indra's Susanoo blade. The power was insane.

Then he looked straight at Indra and shouted, "Fine! If you're going all out, then I'll do the same!"

Ashura poured all his chakra into one final move. A massive statue rose behind him—the Thousand-Armed Buddha—one of his strongest forms. Every arm glowed as he covered them with Truth-Seeking Orbs, giving each hand deadly power.

Then, Senjutsu markings lit up across the statue, boosting everything with the power of nature energy.

In each hand, a Rasengan-like orb started to form—but now they had elemental power: fire, wind, lightning, earth, and more. They were spinning wildly, mixing and ready to fire.

Seeing this, Indra's face turned serious.

"Tch... so you're going crazy now, huh?" he muttered. "Then let me show you... what true power looks like."

Indra roared, and his chakra exploded. His Susanoo grew even bigger—twice the size of Ashura's Thousand-Armed Statue. It was glowing with raw energy, and its armor became darker and sharper, like a god of destruction.

But he wasn't done.

Indra activated his Mangekyō Sharingan, using his elemental manipulation ability. He combined lightning, fire, earth, wind, and water into his Susanoo. Each element swirled together like a storm, wrapping around his armor and blade.

Suddenly, a bolt of lightning crashed from the sky, striking the Susanoo's hand.

From that light, a massive energy arrow formed—shining with all five elements combined, focused into one devastating shot.

Indra held it steady, aiming right at Ashura. A smirk appeared on his face.

"This ends now," he said coldly.

Ashura didn't hold back either. He launched every Rasengan-arm forward at once, all boosted by Truth-Seeking Orbs and Senjutsu power. His statue roared, releasing everything in one huge wave.

At the same time, Indra pulled back his arrow and shouted:

"Take this and Die ALREADY INDRAAAAAAA—INDRA'S ARROW!!"x2

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

BOOOOM!!

The impact hit, and just like that—10 kilometers of land were completely wiped out. Everything turned to dust. The ground cracked, the air shook, and the sky split from the force.

Even the battle between Hagoromo and Zetsu stopped for a second.

Everyone turned to look at the explosion.

Zetsu just shrugged. "Tch… I already knew this would happen," he muttered with a smirk.

He could feel it—Indra was way stronger than Ashura now. Why? Because the moment His FATHERJibril healed Indra's chakra exhaustion, he didn't just restore it—he tripled his chakra output.

That's why this result was obvious.

Zetsu then turned his attention back to Hagoromo, who was standing there in shock. He looked stunned by Indra's power.

Zetsu smirked again.

"Gotcha."

He activated his Ryakugan—a powerful custom dojutsu that was given him by Father/Sensei with advanced conceptual manipulation.

Using its gravity concept, Zetsu pulled Hagoromo toward him like a magnet.

Hagoromo wasn't ready.

"Wha—?!"

He stumbled, flying straight toward Zetsu. Before he could react—

SMACK!

Zetsu grabbed him and said calmly, "Let me show you something your Rinnegan can't do… but my Ryakugan can."

With one glowing palm, Zetsu TAP Hagoromo's chest.

In an instant, half of Hagoromo's chakra points got blocked. His body jerked. He coughed up blood.

"Gah!"

Zetsu pushed him back, sending him flying.

"You might be the Sage of Six Paths," Zetsu said coldly, "but right now, you're just another guy in my way."

As Zetsu kept walking forward, his voice full of disgust, he said, "A guy who sealed his own mother just for fame and power… And then absorbed his own brother to get eternal youth… That's you, Hagoromo."

Suddenly, Zetsu teleported right in front of Hagoromo and—

Spat on him.

Then raised his foot—

BOOM!!

The ground cracked as Zetsu slammed his foot on Hagoromo's hand, pinning it down.

Hagoromo gritted his teeth in pain—but poof—he vanished.

"A Limbo clone," Zetsu muttered.

Hagoromo appeared a few meters away, huffing and sweating.

"I can't beat you here... not even with my ten-times chakra booster," he admitted.

(That means Hagoromo had powered himself up by 10x using chakra enhancers.)

He looked at Zetsu with serious eyes and said,

"Fine then. No holding back."(Lot of Holding Back Actually)

Hagoromo focused all his will. He forced a deep connection with nature itself.

He knew if he did this forcefully, it would be dangerous. Maybe even backfire. But still—

He did it.

He connected his body and mind to the Earth itself. Not just nature chakra, but the very will of the world.

It was like in Dragon Ball—remember when Goku Black merged with the Universe, and Zeno had to erase him?

Yeah—just like that, but Hagoromo didn't connect with the sky.

He connected with the planet.

Energy swirled around him. His body glowed. His thoughts echoed into the Earth. He laughed a little, feeling it all. Then he turned his eyes toward the battlefield—

Where Indra and Ashura had clashed. He had already sensed the explosion… but now, he saw the result.

Ashura was dead. Not just dead—his soul was gone. Indra had destroyed even that.

Hagoromo's heart sank. His Son … killed by his own Other son.

But he didn't cry.

"…Doesn't matter," he whispered.

"Because I know Ashura… he's like me he knew One day He Himself has to Kill Ashura ANyway"

And then, seeing all this— The people who used to see Hagoromo as a god...

They were disgusted.

Why? Because his face… was twisted. Like a demon.

Like how Goku Black looked when he fused with the Universe .

But the difference? Goku Black had connected with the entire universe.

Hagoromo? He only connected with Earth.

Zetsu turned his head toward Jibril and said,

"Father, I can beat him. I know I can. But…"

He paused. His voice turned serious.

"To stop his connection with Earth... I'll have to destroy the connection completely. And that means—everyone on Earth will die."

Jibril stayed quiet for a second… then gave a slow nod.

Kaguya and Gamamaru both looked at Jibril, their eyes full of concern.

Meanwhile—

Hagoromo started laughing. A dark, hollow laugh.

"This is your fault!" he shouted, glaring at Jibril.

"You broke the seal Of Mother And Free HER!"

"Everything was going fine! The people were worshipping me!"

"And now…" he looked toward the crowd, his voice shaking with madness,

"After I defeat you, Jibril… I'll erase their minds. All of them.

I'll make things go back to the way they were before."

The people gasped. Fear filled their eyes.

They didn't want to follow someone like this.

Someone who lied… manipulated… and forced pain on them.

Especially not Hinami, Hitomi, and Kanna Ōtsutsuki — Ashura's wife.

Their eyes were full of tears and anger.

Hagoromo raised his hands and shouted,

"I've connected with the planet itself! With its will! Its nature!"

He pointed forward.

"JIBRIL!! YOU'RE FIRST!!"

He pulled in energy from every element—

Fire. Lightning. Earth. Water. Wind. Yin. Yang. Nature Energy.

Then—he formed it all into a giant arrow, glowing with raw Earth will.

It wasn't just big.

It was MASSIVE.

Quarter the size of Earth itself.

He aimed it straight at Jibril—

And—

BOOOOM!!!

The arrow shot out like a falling star from hell.

Even Zetsu, standing on the planet, narrowed his eyes. He knew His Father Jibril could block it. But the explosion? It could destroy everything.

Jibril slowly stood up. Calmly. With just one hand, he caught the arrow.

Everything went quiet.

Zetsu, Kaguya, Gamamaru, even Hagoromo himself… They all froze and said together—

"Hooooh…?!"

(Anime-style shock, of course.)

And then—

CRACK!

With a simple snap of his fingers—

Jibril shattered the giant Earth-arrow like it was nothing.

He took a step forward, eyes glowing like a god.

"You show me this and call yourself a 'god'?

Let me show you… who I really am."

At that moment—

Indra arrived.

His face cold. His armor stained with blood. He tossed Ashura's lifeless body on the ground. Then looked up— Eyes wide in awe at Jibril.

Jibril stepped forward, his voice calm but powerful. Everyone around him—humans, KaguyaŌtsutsuki, even the Sumonig Animal Hidden in their Own Realm they all went silent… listening.

"I am the Angel of God," Jibril said.

"The God who created everything—

all that exists, all that ever existed, and even what already vanished."

He pointed at Hagoromo.

"You? You call yourself a god?" Jibril shook his head.

"You're just a fool… playing with power you barely understand."

"I was created by the One above all, the real God. And I was sent here to end your fake godhood."

Hagoromo growled, but his hands were shaking.

"You connected yourself to this planet? You think that makes you strong?"

Jibril smirked.

"Let me show you… just 3% of my real power."

Snap!

In one instant— every living being on the planet was wrapped in a glowing barrier. They were safe. Sealed off from what was about to come. Then Jibril walked forward.

His body started glowing— No, not just glowing. Shining like a second sun.And then—

BOOM!! Disaster hit the Earth.

Volcanoes erupted.

Tsunamis formed.

The ground cracked open like glass—

The planet was breaking itself.

Hagoromo panicked.As He tried to pour his full willpower into saving Earth— Because he was connected to the planet. And if Earth died…he would die too. But he couldn't stop it.

BOOM!!

Earth was destroyed.

The people inside the barrier Were Safe — Zetsu, Kaguya, Gamamaru, Indra, Hinami, Hitomi,Kanna, and all the others—watched as their home was shattered into pieces.

And Hagoromo?

He thought he died . But… he was still alive.

He turned— and saw Jibril standing calmly in space. Still glowing. Still terrifying.

The destruction wasn't over.

The aura around Jibril kept growing. Then—twelve wings formed behind his back, shining like divine flames. The light got brighter…

Hotter…

And then—

BOOM!!

The sun itself exploded.

Hagoromo stared in pure terror.

Even Kaguya, Indra, Gamamaru, and the rest— they looked at Jibril with their mouths wide open. Even the ones who followed Hagoromo before— They forgot all about his betrayal. Because what they saw now was beyond belief. If an angel could do this much damage—

What could the real God do? That single thought echoed in everyone's mind.

Even Kaguya— her eyes sparkled as she looked at Jibril. Her cheeks turned red.

She blushed.

Gamamaru noticed and sighed.

"Women… even in a moment like this," he muttered.

But deep down, he had already made up his mind.

He was going to write down everything about this event.

Hagoromo?

He just stared at Jibril, trembling in fear. This wasn't a battle anymore. It was a revelation.

Everyone watched in silence.

Jibril turned his glowing eyes toward Hagoromo, who was still floating in the sky—

his face twisted, looking like a demon. Then Jibril raised his hand.

"Reverse…" he said calmly.

"Reverse Creation."

And just like that— Time itself seemed to move backward. Planets started forming again.

Light returned.

"Sun," Jibril spoke again.

BOOM!

The NEWSun burst back into existence, brighter than ever.

He looked toward a quiet, dark spot in space.

"Earth," he said.

And suddenly— A new Earth began to form. Land. Oceans. Clouds. Everything was being created again. But this wasn't the old Earth. It was something new. Something clean. The people inside the barrier gasped. Their home had been reborn— but it felt different… like it wasn't under Hagoromo's control anymore.(They Have NINSHU THEN CAN SENSE IT)

Jibril slowly lowered his hand.

The glow around him faded.

He looked at Hagoromo— Now in his normal form, no longer looking like a god.

Just a man. Shaking.

"You're no longer connected to this Earth," Jibril said.

"This planet won't accept you. It'll reject you.

You'll never be worshipped again."

Then—snap!

Jibril snapped his fingers.

Suddenly, Ashura, who had died before, started coughing—

He was alive again.

Ashura fell forward, collapsing in front of Jibril and Hagoromo.

He was breathing hard… but alive.

Then, almost like fate pulling strings, Hagoromo also crashed down beside them—

right in front of Jibril.

He looked up at Jibril, eyes wide, body trembling.

He was terrified.

Jibril looked down at him, calm but cold.

"…It's time for your judgment," he said.

"Your punishment begins now."
