Chapter 1012: Uchiha Fugaku, Blinded!
"What... what happened?"
"What was that thing that blew up the Uchiha Flame Formation?"
"That barrier is said to be something even a Tailed Beast can't shake!"
Jiraiya, Rasa, and the others present were in disbelief.
Uchiha Fugaku and the other Uchiha ninja had ashen faces.
But at the same time, they were worried, wondering if another Supreme Demon was coming.
However, the next second, under everyone's gaze, two pairs of pale, giant hands suddenly grabbed the edge of the crack in the Gate of the Netherworld. It seemed as though some terrifying existence was about to appear.
Yes, two pairs of hands, which meant four hands!
"..."
"..."
The entire scene fell silent. Even Charlotte Oven, Dalmatian, and the others who had retreated to the rear watched silently with solemn expressions.
It seemed they were in trouble again, and it looked like significant trouble.
Meanwhile, the owner of those four white hands.
Finally bent over and squeezed its way out from the Gate of the Netherworld.
At first glance, it appeared humanoid.
It had flowing white hair and a pair of pitch-black demon horns.
Crucially, its size was estimated to be several hundred meters tall.
At least much taller than the few remaining mountains in the distance.
Its four limbs—oh no, six limbs—were white, while its chest was black, with a blood-red inverted cross symbol in the center.
Coupled with a pair of pitch-black demon wings on its back and dense white spikes.
Especially the image of ten glowing red spheres connected in a circle between its wings, which brought an even stronger sense of terror and oppression.
Compared to it, Tailed Beasts, regardless of their strength, were far too small in terms of size alone, and their aura was worlds apart.
Not to mention humans, who were truly no different from ants.
It was somewhat like the scene where ninja were mentally and physically shaken the first time they saw a Perfect Susanoo.
What is this thing?
The same question arose in the hearts of many ninja and soldiers.
Only Charlotte Oven, Dalmatian, and Onigumo, Doberman, and Fabian further behind exchanged glances.
As Army Lieutenant Generals each leading an entire Main Combat Division, they had also received more intelligence about demons and the Gate of the Netherworld.
Among that intelligence was information mentioning this thing before them.
Demon God!
This is a new creature, a half-demon, created using humans as a carrier, extreme hatred as a medium, and then infused with unimaginable demonic power by the power of the Netherworld, which is the Netherworld Will!
This is an existence whose overall combat power is inferior to a Supreme Demon, but whose energy output power is comparable to, or even slightly exceeds, that of a Supreme Demon.
Therefore, its positioning in the Netherworld is very similar to the positioning of Tailed Beasts in the Ninja World—both are used as war weapons.
And their quantity is also very scarce, as the humans who can evolve into a 'Demon God' must possess an unspeakable hatred.
This kind of hatred is often only possessed by heroes who have watched the world be destroyed, people be massacred, and their relatives and friends, closest loved ones, die tragically one after another before their eyes.
So, after defeating these human heroes, demons often do not kill them directly but capture them and torment them relentlessly, causing them to reach absolute anger and hatred towards demons, fate, and everything, before taking them to the Netherworld to be processed by the Netherworld Will.
However, even so, the success rate is not very high.
For example, Netherworld Layer 1 of Naamah and Lilith currently doesn't have a single 'Demon God'.
They once had one, but it was destroyed in a certain world before.
Of course, Im doesn't know this, so the intelligence only stated:
"When the Netherworld invades a world, the Demon God will definitely appear as an assault force along with a massive amount of the demon army at the first opportunity."
The implication is that since Netherworld Layer 1 did not send out their 'Demon God' before Naamah and Lilith.
Then it is very likely that they truly don't have one.
This also aligns well with the content in the manga.
Therefore, Onigumo, Doberman, Oven, and the other Vice Admirals immediately guessed that this 'Demon God' likely came from the Netherworld's second layer!
"Four Red Yang Formation, Activate!"
Just then, Jiraiya, Ōnoki, Kitsuchi, and Rasa, positioned at the Southeast, Northwest, Northeast, and Southwest corners of the Gate of the Netherworld, quickly deployed the barrier they had prepared.
Although they didn't understand what a 'Demon God' was.
They could tell that this thing was very troublesome, extremely troublesome.
Instantly, four more crimson barriers rose up.
But this time, the strength was far greater than the previous Uchiha Flame Formation.
The 'Demon God' on the other side paid no mind to this.
It immediately raised its four arms above its head, and a scorching, dazzling crimson fireball, like the sun, quickly condensed between its palms.
In an instant, the ground around it melted into magma at a visible speed, and the air became blurry and distorted under the high temperature.
The next second, the scorching sun fireball, estimated to have a diameter compressed to nearly fifty meters, was hurled out by those thick and powerful arms.
[BOOM!!!!]
In a flash, the Four Red Yang Formation, which was beginning to contract inwards, collided with the incoming Demon God Fireball.
One could see the crimson barrier on the south side being squeezed outwards by the power of the Demon God Fireball.
This caused Jiraiya, Ōnoki, and the others to break out in a cold sweat, thinking that the Four Red Yang Formation would also be blown apart.
However, the barrier ultimately held on and even bounced the massive fireball back onto the 'Demon God'.
[BOOM!!!!]
Another loud noise echoed, loud enough to be heard across most of the Ninja World continent.
Fierce flame completely filled the domain within the Four Red Yang Formation.
Because the top was also sealed by the barrier, most of the power was either absorbed by the 'Demon God' itself or surged into Netherworld Layer 1 through the crack in the Gate of the Netherworld, clearing out a large area of the demons attempting to surge out again.
One must say, this Four Red Yang Formation is indeed powerful!
Thinking about it, it can even repel a Ten-Tails' Tailed Beast Bomb!
Just by looking at the expressions of Ōnoki, Jiraiya, Kitsuchi, and Rasa, whose originally healthy and rosy faces suddenly turned pale and covered in cold sweat, one could guess that the pressure they endured was also not to be ignored, especially in terms of chakra consumption.
In the canon, the ones who deployed this Four Red Yang Formation were Hashirama Senju, Senju Tobirama, Hiruzen Sarutobi, and Minato Namikaze in the Impure World Reincarnation state, so they naturally didn't have this kind of problem.
But regardless, the Four Red Yang Formation was still contracting inwards.
What they needed to do was force the 'Demon God' back into the Netherworld and then seal the Gate of the Netherworld.
"Did we forget something?"
Jiraiya muttered somewhat uncertainly, speaking into the Den Den Mushi placed beside him.
"Uchiha Fugaku and the others are still inside!"
Ōnoki at another position exclaimed, and Rasa and Kitsuchi also had drastic changes in expression.
That's right, Uchiha Fugaku and the others, because they had to activate the Uchiha Flame Formation first, were positioned closer than them.
Naturally, they were inside the Four Red Yang Formation, so weren't they currently...
A moment later, when all the flames and smoke and dust dissipated.
Everyone saw a crimson, broken phantom image appear at the south end.
Inside the phantom image was Uchiha Fugaku, whose eyes maintained the Mangekyo Sharingan, with two streaks of blood tears flowing down his face, and three clansmen from his squad.
It seemed they had barely survived thanks to the protection of Susanoo.
However, the Uchiha clansmen at the other three positions had clearly been reduced to ashes.
"Ugh!"
At this moment, Uchiha Fugaku suddenly knelt down in pain, tightly covering his eyes with his right hand, and the outer crimson phantom image also began to gradually disappear.
"Clan Leader!"
"Clan Leader!"
The three Uchiha jonin rushed forward to check, but heard Uchiha Fugaku muttering in despair: "My... my eyes... I can't see..."
At the same time.
The slightly battered giant 'Demon God' was looking down from above at these few 'little bugs' on the ground.
Although the Susanoo just now wasn't big to it, it was enough to attract its attention.
"Not good!!!"
Jiraiya, Ōnoki, and the others were at a loss for what to do for a moment...
"What... what happened?"
"What was that thing that blew up the Uchiha Flame Formation?"
"That barrier is said to be something even a Tailed Beast can't shake!"
Jiraiya, Rasa, and the others present were in disbelief.
