Chapter 204 - Half a Month, the Game Is Over

This is an otherworldly dimension, not belonging to Ame-no-Minakanushi, where the land is a plain and the sky is green.

Izayoi appeared here with the Ten-Tails, and then, sharing the perspective of a Wood Clone, he watched the collapse of the dimension once more.

Unlike the previous dimension that was engulfed by white light, this dimension, swallowed by the Space-Time Anomaly, was like a collapsing building. The sky and land were shattering, and along with the trees and earth, they were sucked into the Space-Time Anomaly, which emitted a terrifying gravitational force.

The Space-Time Anomaly grew larger and larger, eventually occupying the entire dimension.

Of course, neither Izayoi nor his Wood Clone witnessed this scene directly. They only saw this future through Ame-no-Tokotachi.

Unlike the spreading spatial rifts, it was beautiful yet extremely deadly.

The engulfment by the Space-Time Anomaly was extremely violent. Unless one could immediately leave that dimension, once the Space-Time Anomaly became larger, its terrifying gravitational force would even render space-time abilities ineffective.

This effect naturally wouldn't affect Izayoi's Ame-no-Minakanushi and Yomotsu Hirasaka.

However, if it were Kamui, the situation might be much more perilous.

"The Space-Time Anomaly is practically the ultimate version of Sasuke's Great Sun Spirit," Izayoi couldn't help but exclaim.

After speaking, the corners of Izayoi's mouth curved into an arc.

Although he had lost two dimensions, witnessing the destruction of two dimensions, and in different ways, Izayoi, who possessed the two Perks of Transcendence Potential (Prismatic) and Sky Control (Prismatic), had seen his understanding of space-time surge by a large margin.

He had inspiration for a new move.

Taking advantage of the fact that Hagoromo Otsutsuki had not yet found this place, Izayoi clapped his hands together, creating twelve Chakra Rosaries.

The rosaries emitted a dazzling golden-yellow light, rotating to form a light wheel.

In a short while, the light wheel transformed into countless golden-yellow photons that dissipated into nothingness.

Rather than dissipating, it was more like they merged into the void.

Izayoi's Rinne Tenseigan and Rinne Sharingan both flickered with brilliant light.

Soon, Izayoi's eyes established a connection with this dimension, making it one of the dimensions of Ame-no-Minakanushi.

At the same time, a white rift appeared.

As the rift opened to form a doorway, Hagoromo Otsutsuki's figure quickly flew out from within.

Shuua—

Without any wasted words, Hagoromo Otsutsuki, still holding the Ame-no-Numahoko, swung a space-tearing white slash towards the Ten-Tails.

Almost instinctively, Izayoi prepared to transfer the Ten-Tails to another dimension.

However, also instinctively, Izayoi used Ame-no-Tokotachi to glimpse the Ten-Tails' future. He immediately stopped the chakra he had mobilized and raised the black light sword formed by the fusion of the Chakra Rosary and the Ame-no-Numahoko, unleashing a golden-yellow slash.

When the two clashed, the space-tearing white slash did not immediately destroy the golden-yellow slash.

But the latter only lasted for a few seconds before being split in two by the white slash, still advancing towards Izayoi with undiminished power.

It was during these few seconds that Izayoi had already created a Wood Clone, used Yomotsu Hirasaka to take the Ten-Tails, and left.

The Wood Clone did not head to any of the other dimensions of Ame-no-Minakanushi because the future Izayoi saw indicated that Hagoromo Otsutsuki had placed clones in those dimensions.

If the Ten-Tails were transferred there, Hagoromo Otsutsuki would seize the opportunity to launch a surprise attack.

"Eyes that can see the future are truly troublesome abilities," Hagoromo Otsutsuki couldn't help but exclaim, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

Since he couldn't banish the Ten-Tails, he could only go all out and eliminate Izayoi.

At the very least, he had to seal him.

Thus, Hagoromo Otsutsuki stopped thinking about tactics and flew towards Izayoi, holding the Ame-no-Numahoko.

As if sensing his intentions, Izayoi dispelled the black light sword in his hand, clapped his hands together, and created numerous golden-yellow orbs of light, which, along with the Truth-Seeking Balls, surrounded his body.

Izayoi held a small, fingernail-sized orb of light in his hand.

This scene was observed by Hagoromo Otsutsuki.

After all, Chakra Rosaries were also products of chakra condensation.

As long as it was chakra, it could not escape the perspective ability of the Rinnegan.

However, in the next second, the chakra in Izayoi's hand vanished.

Along with it, Izayoi himself disappeared.

A deafening roar erupted in Hagoromo Otsutsuki's ears.

Hagoromo Otsutsuki was not flustered in the slightest. He turned to face the direction from which the Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack was coming, raised his hand to control the Truth-Seeking Balls around him, and unleashed a white tornado, easily blocking the earth-shattering Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack.

At the same time, the Ame-no-Numahoko in his hand was also condensing the power of subjective belief.

When the white tornado struggled with the Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack for a while, and their energy was halved, Hagoromo Otsutsuki suddenly swung his sword, and a pure white slash easily tore through the tornado and the screen of light from the fists, both capable of annihilating everything.

Izayoi, who was also charging a powerful move, attacked simultaneously with Hagoromo Otsutsuki.

Izayoi held a multicolored orb of light in his hand, which transformed into a rainbow-like beam of light that shot out, colliding with Hagoromo Otsutsuki's slash.

Instantly, countless spatial rifts spread and expanded, and the dimension violently vibrated.

Ignoring the spatial vibrations, Hagoromo Otsutsuki continued to fly towards Izayoi.

Izayoi, while flying backward, unleashed Yomotsu Hirasaka with all his might, creating a window-sized black portal and shooting dozens of bone arrows into it.

In the space around Hagoromo Otsutsuki, black fissures appeared, quickly forming black windows from which bone arrows flew out, shooting from all directions.

Hagoromo Otsutsuki did not defend himself, nor did he use Ame-no-Numahoko to repel them.

This was because it was the power of Kekkei Mōra, and even Truth-Seeking Balls could not resist it.

However, Hagoromo Otsutsuki's method of breaking through it was also very simple.

He raised his hand, condensed a black sphere, and tossed it into the sky.

An invisible attraction immediately changed the trajectory of the bone arrows.

At this moment, Hagoromo Otsutsuki's pupils suddenly contracted, and his expression changed slightly.

Because he saw that the bone arrows were all marked with the Flying Thunder God Technique Formula.

The next second, several white orbs of light appeared around the bone arrows without any warning.

Boom—

Blinding white light engulfed the space.

The deafening explosion intensified the spatial vibrations.

The white light screen did not last long before it was shattered by golden fists.

Golden pillars of light shaped like fists seemed to blast through space, causing the white light screen to dissipate in a shattered manner.

After the light screen disappeared, only the still-closing space-time rifts remained in this Other Dimension.

Hagoromo Otsutsuki and Izayoi had both vanished from this Other Dimension.

Space-time tunnels filled with warped doors were everywhere. Hagoromo Otsutsuki's body, covered in explosion marks and torn limbs, was flying at high speed.

As if sensing something, he randomly found a warped door and drilled into it.

A moment later, Izayoi also arrived at his location and flew into the same door.

In an icy, snowy space filled with swirling snowflakes, Hagoromo Otsutsuki's body had already healed for the most part.

Although this body was not his own, and he had lost the Self-Healing (Prismatic) perk because he was not the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki.

Hagoromo Otsutsuki's healing speed was still second only to Izayoi, who had Self-Healing (Prismatic).

This was because Hagoromo Otsutsuki possessed the ultimate Yin and Yang power, and his mastery of Yin-Yang Release allowed him to create even Tailed Beasts and Other Dimensions.

As long as he wasn't killed instantly, he could easily repair even the most severe injuries.

Gazing at Izayoi, who had pursued him from another Other Dimension, Hagoromo Otsutsuki launched another attack.

However, this time, Hagoromo Otsutsuki did not unleash a slash but hurled Ame-no-Numahoko in his hand.

As soon as the Divine Path Heavenly Sword left his hand, it immediately turned from black to gold, and its shape changed from a long sword to a large net formed by chains.

Izayoi narrowed his eyes slightly and dodged without hesitation.

Just as Izayoi had used Ame-no-Numahoko as a shield to defend against Madara Uchiha's attack, this net, though seemingly ordinary, contained mental power that even Truth-Seeking Balls could not destroy.

Moreover, this large golden net also contained terrifying sealing abilities.

With just a glance, Izayoi understood how those Six Paths Tools were created.

No wonder those tools were so overpowered; they were actually the result of Yin-Yang Release + mental power.

Or perhaps, Hagoromo Otsutsuki had infused certain rules of power into the tools using Yin-Yang Release and the creation power of Ame-no-Numahoko.

The large golden net missed, did not return to Hagoromo Otsutsuki's hand, but instead tracked towards Izayoi, releasing an astonishing attraction, intending to pull Izayoi closer.

Izayoi, being pulled towards it, was not flustered and manipulated a Chakra Rosary into a metallic object.

Seeing this, Hagoromo Otsutsuki's spirits immediately lifted, and he recreated another Ame-no-Numahoko.

The next second, he sensed Izayoi's Chakra appearing to his right rear.

Just as Hagoromo Otsutsuki was about to turn and swing his sword, he suddenly collapsed onto the ground.

The same happened to Izayoi, who was kneeling on one knee.

It turned out that the scene had flipped completely, and both of them had been transported from the snowy space filled with snowflakes to a super-gravity space.

However, Izayoi was already prepared and shot two bone arrows at Hagoromo Otsutsuki with a raised hand.

Hagoromo Otsutsuki was also unhurried, manipulating Ame-no-Numahoko into a black sphere, enveloping himself.

The next second, white cracks split the black sphere in two, and Hagoromo Otsutsuki had already disappeared within.

"As expected, it's still not enough," Izayoi muttered, not surprised.

If he could have tricked Hagoromo Otsutsuki like this, then he and Hamura Otsutsuki would have been killed by Kaguya Otsutsuki a thousand years ago.

A thousand years ago, he could still defeat stronger opponents with weaker strength and overthrow superiors even without being a Ten-Tails Jinchuriki.

A thousand years later, this tactic was even less likely to work on Hagoromo Otsutsuki, who had become an old trickster.

Izayoi did not get discouraged either and continued to use Yomotsu Hirasaka to enter the space-time tunnel, pursuing Hagoromo Otsutsuki.

Thus, the two of them moved from the icy space to the super-gravity space, and then from the super-gravity space to a rock pillar space similar to the Kamui Dimension, constantly using the scenarios of these Other Dimensions to formulate various tactics, attempting to seal or kill each other.

The result, without exception, was that all their attempts were thwarted by the opponent.

From beginning to end, Izayoi and Hagoromo Otsutsuki never used any Six Paths Sage Art. The only ninjutsu they used was the most powerful Truth-Seeking Ball.

This was because they both knew that, in the face of the Kekkei Mōra, any ninjutsu or Six Paths Sage Art was insignificant.

Even the Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack and All-Killing Ash Bones were useless. If the former missed its target, it would simply be a waste of chakra.

In contrast, the Yin-Yang Release, Chakra Rosary, Ame-no-Numahoko, and space-time abilities not only consumed very little chakra but were also extremely lethal.

Izayoi and Hagoromo Otsutsuki fought for half a month. During this time, they had their trump cards, techniques, and combat styles thoroughly understood by each other, nearly falling victim to the opponent's tactics, with the advantage shifting back and forth.

Whenever one side gained the upper hand, the other would seize the opportunity to escape.

Izayoi rarely found himself at a disadvantage, after all, his eyes could see the future.

Moreover, whenever he entered another dimension, Izayoi would secretly use Wood Release to create a Wood Clone in a certain spot within that dimension, specifically to provide him with an overhead view and to glimpse the future.

Even when at a disadvantage, Izayoi only needed to use Ame-no-Minakanushi to transfer himself to another dimension, instantly turning danger into safety.

It was only at times like these that the difference in their stats truly showed.

Whether Hagoromo Otsutsuki wanted to pursue Izayoi or escape from a dimension, he needed the power of Ame-no-Numahoko to perform a pirated version of Yomotsu Hirasaka.

Although the preparation time was very short, it was ultimately no match for Ame-no-Minakanushi and the true Yomotsu Hirasaka.

In this past half-month, Izayoi's chakra had been depleted by one-third.

In contrast, Hagoromo Otsutsuki's... had not decreased but instead increased.

Yes, Hagoromo Otsutsuki's chakra had not only not decreased at all, but it had become even stronger.

"You fellow are more disgusting than those who defile their souls with forbidden jutsu."

Looking at Hagoromo Otsutsuki opposite him, whose chakra levels were now only slightly inferior to his own, Izayoi sneered. "Absorbing the soul chakra of the Pure Land at will, are you the Death God of the Uzumaki clan?"

"Only by eliminating you, an outsider, will the Shinobi World and the Pure Land be truly at peace," Hagoromo Otsutsuki said coldly. "They are all protecting this world with me; they are the true Saviors of the World!"

"Unfortunately, you no longer have a chance," Izayoi said with a cold laugh. "After fighting for so long, besides Six Paths: Planetary Devastation, your only remaining trump card is to summon your brother, right?"

Upon hearing this, Hagoromo Otsutsuki's pupils couldn't help but contract slightly.

Staring at those golden-yellow Rinne Tenseigan, he couldn't help but sigh again, "Eyes that can see the past and the future... I never expected such Eye Power to exist."

"There are many things you haven't expected yet."

Izayoi raised his hand and condensed something, smiling meaningfully. "I've had a lot of fun these past two weeks, but now... the game is over."

Looking at the thing in Izayoi's hand, Hagoromo Otsutsuki's expression finally changed drastically.
